105. Weeping Penitence. 1 Did Christ o'er sinners weep;

And shall our tears be dry? Let floods of penitential grief Burst forth from ev'ry eye. 2 The Son of God in tears,

The wond'ring angels see! Be thou astonish'd, O my soul!' He shed those tears for thee!

106. Rest for the Weary. 1 O, where shall rest be found,

Rest for the weary soul!
Twere vain the ocean's depths to

5 Lord, we adore thy ways,

To bring us near to God, [grace, Thy sovereign power, thy healing And thy atoning blood.

108. A Coming Judgmėnt: 1 How will my heart endure

The terrors of that day, [Judge When earth and heaven before the Astonish'd shrink away!

2 But ere that trumpet shakes

The mansions of the dead, [sound, Hark! from the Gospel's cheering What joyful tidings spread!

Or pierce to either pole. [sound, 3 Ye sinners, seek his grace,

The world can never give

The bliss for which we sigh: 'Tis not the whole of life to live, Nor all of death to die.

3 Beyond this vale of tears

There is a life above, Unmeasur'd by the flight of years-And all that life is love.

107. Christ our Light. 1 How heavy is the night

That hangs upon our eyes,
Till Christ, with his reviving light,
Over our souls arise!

2 Our guilty spirits dread

To meet the wrath of heav'n; But, in his righteousness array'd, We see our sins forgiv'n.

3 Unholy and impure

Are all our thoughts and ways; His hands infected nature cure With sanctifying grace.

4 The powers of hell agree

To hold our souls in vain;
He sets the sons of bondage free,
And breaks the cursed chain.

Whose wrath ye cannot bear; Fly to the shelter of his cross,

And find salvation there.

4 So shall that curse remove,

By which the Saviour bled;
And the last awful day shall pour
His blessings on your head.
109. Importunity.

1 Jesus, who knows full well
The heart of every saint,
Invites us all our griefs to tel,
To pray and never faint.

2 He bows his gracious ear

We never plead in vain; Then let us wait till he appear, And pray, and pray again.

3 Jesus, the Lord, will hear

His chosen when they cry; Yes, tho' he may a while forbear, He'll help them from on high.

4 Then let us earnest cry,

And never faint in pray'r:
He sees, he hears, and from on high
Will make our cause his care.

Watchman! tell us of the night, What its signs of

1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in his excellent word:
What more could his mercy and goodness have said
To those who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

2 Fear not, he is with thee, O, be not dismay'd:
For he is thy God, and will give thee his aid:
He'll strengthen thee,help thee, and cause thee to stand
Upheld by his gracious, Omnipotent hand.

3 When through the deep waters he calls thee to go,
The river of sorrow shall not overflow;

2

His presence shall guide thee, his mercy shall bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.

4 When through fiery trials thy pathway is laid,
His grace, all-sufficient, shall lend thee its aid;
The flame shall not hurt thee; he does but design,
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.

5 His people, through life, shall abundantly prove
His sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love :
And when age with gray hairs shall their temples adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in his bosom be borne.

5 The soul on his bosom that leans for repose,

Is safe from th' assaults of its bitterest foes:

That soul-though all Hell should in vengeance awake,
He'll never-no never-no never forsake.
