2 Their sins I'll visit with the rod, 3 My covenant I will ne'er revoke, 4 Once have I sworn- (I need no more)- 5 The sun shall see his offspring rise 6 Sure as the moon, that rules the night, 634. C. M. *WATTS. Obedience not from Fear but Love. 1 NOT by the terrors of a slave 2 They find access, at every hour, Hence they derive a quickening power, 30 happy souls! O glorious state To dwell so near their Father's seat, 4 Lord, I address thy heavenly throne; 5 There shed thy choicest love abroad, 635. L. M. BLACKLOCK. Different Ends of the Virtuous and Vicious. 1 How blest the man- how more than blest Whose heart no guilty thoughts employ ! God's endless sunshine fills his breast, And conscience whispers peace and joy. 2 Pure rectitude's unerring way His heaven-conducted steps pursue; 636. 11 M. S. F. STREETER. Come unto me, and I will give you Rest.' 1 How gracious the promise, how soothing the word. That came from the lips of our merciful Lord! 'Ye lone and ye weary, ye sad and oppressed, Come, learn of your Savior, and ye shall find rest." 2 Ye heart-stricken sons and ye daughters of woe, For you the fresh fountains of comfort o'erflow; Your souls to the blessed Redeemer unite,His yoke it is easy, his burden is light. 3 And ye that have sinned and have wandered astray, Come, walk in the light, and the truth, and the way; Ye proud, from the paths of ambition depart, For meek was your Master, and lowly of heart. 492 DOXOLOGIES.
