2 Awake, my thought, rouse every power, Thy native dignity display;

Let lust and passion reign no more,
No longer own their lawless sway.

3 Thy temper meek and humble be,
Content and pleased with every state;
From dire revenge and envy free,
And wild ambition to be great.

4 Confine thy roving appetites:

From this vain world withdraw thine eyes;

And raise them to those pure delights,
Which none can taste below the skies.

5 On wings of faith to heaven ascend,
By hope anticipate the feast;
With all thy might still upward tend,
And leave to sensual minds the rest.

HYMN 25.-S. M.

ET party names no more

The Christian world o'erspread;

Gentile and Jew, and bond and free,
Are one in Christ their head.

2 Among the saints on earth
Let mutual love be found;
Heirs of the same inheritance,
With mutual blessings crowned.

3 Envy and strife be gone,

And only kindness known,

Where all one common Father have,

One common Master own.

4 Thus will the church below Resemble that above;

Where springs of purest pleasure rise And every heart is love.

HYMN 26.-P. M.

HAIL ye hosts of seraph's bright! come to join your symphony,

Forever here to take delight

In your melodious company. My suffrings and my toils are o'er, I now have reached the blissful shore, And floods of light begin to roll, And burst upon the ravish'd soul. CHORUS.

O sound his praise ye heavenly choir, He sav'd us from the burning fire.

2 Farewell ye fading things of time,
No more your false attraction
Can move this peaceful heart of mine,
My joys are everlasting.

Long withstood the powers of hell,
And Jesus was my glorious shield;
Now I've got through the wilderness,
And glory to my great High Priest.
CHORUS.

O sound his praise, &c.

3 Jesus looks with smiles of love,
And angels bid me welcome;
The patriarchs and prophets all
Reach forth the hand of friendship.
My christian neighbors here I find,
My kindred and my distant friends;
The song of Moses now I'll join,
While heaven and glory all cre mine,
CHORUS.

O sound his praise, &c.

4 Now 1 see my God and King,
With grateful admiration,
His ways, his name I'll sing,
In flaming adoration.

His everlasting glory shines,
Diffusing light and joys divine

To millions in the heavenly clime, While heaven and glory they are mine. CHORUS.

O sound his praise, &c.

5 Thro' boundless fields of endless light, My mind is left to ponder;

I sail through seas of glory bright,
O glorious scenes of wonder!
Angelic notes, in highest strains,
And holy saints his love proclaim,
While loud hosannas to his name
Are ringing through the blissful plain.
CHORUS.

O sound his praise ye heavenly choir,
He sav'd us. from the burning fire.

HYMN 27.-8, 7s.

INNERS, take the friendly warning-
Soon that awful day shall break,
And the trumpet with its dawning,
All the slumb'ring millions wake.

2 See assembled ev'ry nation!

Lofty cities, temples, tow'ers,
Wrapt in dreadful conflagration,
Earth and sea the flame devours.

3 Ye, who to the world dissemble,

While you practice deeds of night, Sinners, now behold and tremble;

All your crimes are brought to light.

4 Lost in ease, or carnal pleasure,
Sporting on the burning brink;
Now, you say, you have no leisure,
You can find no time to think.

5 Ye-who now, convicton stifling, Waste your time-the loss deplore; Hear the angel-cease your trifling"Time," he cries, "shall be no more.'

4 Pause, and hear the voice of reason-
Catch the moments as they fly-
You who lose the present season,
You must all find time to die.

HYMN 28.-8, 7, & 4.

Farewell to missionaries.

10, ye heralds of salvation,

Go proclaim, Redeeming blood: Publish to that barb'rous nation, Peace and pardon from our God.
