Him now as weak as they could be;
With hellish triumph greet him thus,
Art thou become like one of us?

Christians, in name, whom there they meet;
Sunk lower than themselves in woe,

This case so dreadful had been mine!
Hell gap'd for me, but, LORD, thy hand
Snatch'd from the fire the kindling brand. *

I hope to share a better part;

But heav'n must wonder, sure to see
A sinner enter, vile as me.

All heav'n shall echo with the same
While angels greet a sinner thus-

Art thou become like one of us? (DR. RYLAND.

1 SINNER, O why so thoughtless grown?
Why in such dreadful haste to die i
Daring to leap to worlds unknown,
Heedless against thy God to fly ?
2 Wilt thou despise eternal fate,
Urg'd on by sin's fantastic dreams?
Madly attempt th' infernal gate,
And force thy passage to the flames?
3 Stay, sinner! on the Gospel plains
Behold the God of love unfold <42
The glories of his dying pains,
For ever telling, yet untold,

The sound that bids my soul rejoice, a dok
And rather choose with fools to die, bosge O
Than turn an ear to mercy's voice.

But now I know how great their loss;
For sweeter sounds were never heard
Than mercy utters from the cross.nl danT

1 COME, Lord, and warm each languid heart, Inspire each lifeless tongue:

And let the joys of heav'n impart
Their influence to our song.

And discord there shall cease;
And perfect joy, and love sincere,
Adorn the realms of

Shall mourn its pow'r no more
But, cloth'd in spotless purity,
Redeeming love adore.
