The lost are sought and sav'd, how sweet!
And not the righteous, Christ declares.

6 Say, what are you come out to view,
Jesus who once for sinners died?
O hear the Saviour's voice to you,
Cast sinful, righteous self aside.
7 Lord, wilt thou stoop to be my guest?
Dost thou invite thee to my home?
Welcome, dear Saviour, to my breast,
To-day let thy salvation come.

The lost sheep found; or, Joy in Heaven on the Conversion of a Sinner, Luke xv. 3, 4.

1 WHEN some kind shepherd from his fold Has lost a straying sheep,

Thro' vales; o'er hills, he anxious roves,
And climbs the mountain's steep:
2 But O the joy! the transport sweet!
When he the wanderer finds;

Up in his arms he takes his charge,
And to his shoulder binds.

3 Homeward he hastes to tell his joys,
And make his bliss complete :
The neighbours hear the news, and all
The joyful shepherd meet.

4 Yet how much greater is the joy
When but one sinner turns;

When the poor wretch, with broken heart,
His sins and errors mourns!

5 Pleas'd with the news, the saints below
In songs their tongues employ;
Beyond the skies the tidings go,
And heaven is fill'd with joy.

6 Well-pleas'd, the Father sees and hears,
The conscious sinner weep;

Jesus receives him in his arms,
And owns him for his sheep.
7 Nor angels can their joys contain,
But kindle with new fire;

A wandering sheep's return'd, they sing,
And strike the sounding lyre.

The converted thief, Luke xxiii, 42.2

AS on the cross the Saviour hung,
And wept, and bled, and died,

He pour'd salvation on a wretch
That languish'd at his side.

2 His crimes, with inward grief and shame, The penitent confess'd;

Then turn'd his dying eyes to Christ, And thus his pray'r address'd:H ·3 Jesus, thou Son and heir of heaven, 711Thou spotless Lamb of God!

I see thee bath'd in sweat and tears,
And weltering in thy blood.

4 Yet quickly, from these scenes of woe,
In triumph thou shalt rise,

Burst through the gloomy shades of death,
And shine above the skies.

5 Amid the glories of that world,
Dear Saviour, think on me,

And in the vict'ries of thy death
Let me a sharer be.

6 His prayer the dying Jesus hears,
And instantly replies,

To-day thy parting soul shall be

With me in Paradise. DR. §. STENNETT.
