On blessed Canaan's happy shores.

6. Arm'd with my helmet, sword and
I'll never quit the glorious field, [shield,
For Christ my Lord the victory won,
Then, O my soul, put courage on.
7. I'n listed, and I mean to fight,
Till all my foes are put to flight;
Though battles rage and wars increase,
Soon I shall reach a land of peace.
8., I'll God adore, obey his laws,
Nor coward prove in his good cause;
But in his service firm abide,
Still fighting on Immanuel's side.

9. I've fought through many battles sore
And ready stand to fight through more,
Trusting in Jesus's sacred name,
None in this holy war are slain.

10. I have a sword, which, when I wield,
The stoutest foes must quit the field;
The word of God must e'er prevail
Eternal truth can never fail.

10. Come, sinners, then enlisted be,
And Christ our King shall make you free,
Come, try his service, trust the Lord,
And heaven shall be your great reward.

HYMN 38. S. M.

How can I vent my grief?

My comforter is fled !

By day I sigh without relief,

And groan upon my bed. 2. I once enjoyed my Lord; Liv'd happy in his love; Delighted in his holy word, And sought my rest above. 3. This world I did despise, With all its gaudy show; Thro' faith in Christ turn'd off my eyes

From vanities below.

4. I then could praise the Lord,
For his redeeming love,

I knew his grace did peace afford,
For I-that peace did prove.
5. But O! alas, my soul,
Where is thy comfort now?
Why did I let my love grow cold;
Ah why to idols bow?

6. How little did I think,
When first I did begin

To join a little with the world,
It was so great a sin.

7. I thought I might conform,
Nor singular appear;

Converse and dress as others did,
But now I feel the snare.

8.

My confidence is gone, I find no words to say;

Barren and lifeless is my soul,
When I attempt to pray.
9. I feel asham'd to bow,
When with the saints I meet;
While on their knees my brethren
I stand, or keep my seat.

10.

My soul! this will not do,
Thy day is almost past;

I must repent and turn to God;
Or sink to hell at last.

11. Trembling, to Christ I'll fly,
And all my sins confess;
At Jesus' cross I'll humbly fall,
And ask restoring grace.
12. Il mortify my pride;
Myself I will deny ;

And if I perish, Lord, at last,
Beneath thy cross I'll die.
HYMN 39. P. M.

Stop, poor sinner, stop and think,
Before you further go,
Can you sport upon the brink
Of everlasting wo?

cry,

Hell beneath is gaping wide, Vengeance waits the dread command, Soon will stop your sport and pride, And sink you with the damn'd.

Then be entreated now to stop.

For unless you warning take,
Ere you are aware you'll drop
Into a burning lake.

2. Say, have you an arm like God,
That you his will oppose?
Fear you not that iron rod

With which he breaks his foes?
Can you stand in that great day,
When his judgment will proclaim !
When the earth shall melt away,
Like flax before the flame?

3

Ghastly death will quickly come,
And drag you to the bar;

Then to hear your awful doom,
Will fill you with despair.

All your sins will round you crowd,
Sins of a blood-crimson dye;
Each for vengeance cry aloud,
And what will you reply?

4. I hough your hearts be made ofsteel,
Your forehead lined with brass,
God at length will make you feel,
He will not let you pass.
Sinners then in vain will call,

(Tho' they now despise his grace,) Rocks and mountains on us fall, And hide us from his face.

5. But as yet there is a hope,

You may his mercy know; "Though his arm be lifted up, He still forbears the blow. It was for sinners Jesus died;

Sinners he invites to come; None that come shall be denied, He says there still is room.

For Jesus' sake, I pray you stop, &c.

HYMN 40. P. M.

The gospel ship is sailing by,
The ark of safety now is nigh,
O sinners, unto Jesus fly,
Improve your day of grace;

O there'll be glory, glory, O hallelujah,
O there'll be glory,

When we the Lord embrace.

2. Come, fathers, will you go with me? Come, mothers, will you go with me? Eternity you soon must see,

O ha te, prepare to die;

O there'll be glory, &c.

When saints shall reign on high.

3. Come, brothers, will you go with me?
Come, neighbors, will you go with me?
Come, sisters, will you go with me?
And flee from wrath to come.

O there'll be glory, &c.

When all the saints get home.

4. The judgment day is rolling on,
