Harmonious to the ear!

Heaven with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.

To save rebellious man ;

And all the steps that grace display E
Which drew the wond'rous plan.

Grace all the work shall crown, a short

God glorious, and Sinners saved, Isaiah xliv. 23.

1 FATHER, how wide thy glory shines!
How high thy wonders rise!

Known through the earth by thousand signs,
By thousands through the skies.

2 [Part of thy name divinely stands
On all thy creatures writ;
They show the labour of thine hands,
Or impress of thy feet.]

3 But when we view thy strange design
To save rebellious worms,

Where vengeance and compassion join
In their divinest forms.

4 Our thoughts are lost în reverend awe,
We love, and we adore;

[ocr errors]

The first archangel never saw
So much of God before.

5 Here the whole Deity is known

Nor dares a creature guess

Which of the glories brightest shone,
The justice or the grace.

6 [When sinners broke the Father's laws,
The dying Son atones :

Oh, the dear mysteries of his cross!
The triumph of his groans !]

7 Now the full glories of the Lamb
Adorn the heavenly plains;

7

Sweet cherubs learn Immanuel's name,
And try their choicest strains.

8 Oh, may I bear some humble part
In that immortal song!

Wonder and joy shall tune my heart,
And love command my tongue.

From fiends, and fires, and chains ;
Rais'd to a paradise of bliss,

Where love triumphant reigns!

Sinful and weak as mine,don 5/6
Presume to raise a trembling eye
To blessings so divine ?

My feeble heart o'erbears;
And unbelief almost perverts
The promise into tears.

These dying hopes can raise :
Speak thy salvation to my soul,
And turn my prayer to praise.

God reasoning with Men, Isaiah 1. 18.

1 COME, sinners, saith the mighty God,
Heinous as all
your crimes have been,
Lo! I descend from mine abode
To reason with the sons of men.

[ocr errors]

2 No clouds of darkness veil my face, No vengeful lightnings flash around; I come with terms of life and peace; Where sin hath reign'd let grace abound. 3 Yes, Lord, we will obey thy call, And to thy gracious sceptre bow;

., Oh make our crimson sins like wool, Our scarlet crimes as white as snow.

As the few Hymns in the former editions of this volume, entitled Scripture Invitations and Promises, have been found peculiarly acceptable and encouraging, the Section is now considerably enlarged.

4 So shall our thankful lips repeat
Thy praises with a tuneful voice,
While, humbly prostrate at thy feet,
We wonder, tremble, and rejoice.

Seek ye my face, Psalm xxvii. 81

1 JEHOVAH speaks; Seek ye my face!
My soul admires the wondrous grace:
I'll seek thy face-thy Spirit give!
O let me see thy face and live.

2 I'll wait; perhaps my Lord may come, (If I turn back, how sad my doom!) And, begging, in his way I'll lie Till the sweet hour he passeth by." 3 Daily I'll seek with cries and tears, With secret sighs, and fervent pray'rs; And, if not heard-I'll weeping sit, And perish at the Saviour's feet. 4 But canst thou, Lord! see all my pain, And bid me seek thy face in vain?! Thou wilt not, canst not, me deceive,The soul that seeks thy face shall live. 114 (3d P.) L. M. Islington 40. New Sabbath 122.

Where the Saviour deign'd to die,
What melodious sounds I hear,
Bursting on my ravish'd ear!
"Love's redeeming work is done!
COME AND WELCOME, SINNER, COME!”
2 Sprinkled now with blood the throne,
Why, beneath thy burdens groan? A
All the curse on me was laid;
Justice owns the ransom paid:
Bow the knee, and kiss the Son, you l'
COME AND WELCOME, SINNER, COME !
3 Now behold the festal board
With its richest dainties stored;
To thy Father's bosom press'd,
Once again a child confest,
From his house no more to roam

COME AND WELCOME, SINNER, COME!
