6 Sure there was never love so free,
Dear Saviour! so divine!

Well, thou may'st claim that heart of me,
Which owes so much to thine.

7 Yes! thou shalt surely have my heart,
My soul, my strength, my all:
With life itself I'll freely part,
My JESUS! at thy call.

Stoop down to wretchedness and dust,

For man the Saviour bled!

4 Dear LORD! what heavenly wonders dwell In thy atoning blood!

By this are sinners snatch'd from hell,
And rebels brought to God.

5 JESUS! my soul adoring bends
To love so full, so free;

And may I hope that love extends
Its sacred power to me!

6 What glad return can I impart

For favours so divine?!--*
O take my all-this worthless heart,
And make it only thine.

Morning Hymn.

1 WITH thee, great GOD! the stores of light,

And stores of darkness, lie;

Thou form'st the sable robe of night,
And spread'st it round the sky.

2 And when, with welcome slumbers press'd We close our weary eyes,

uw Thy power, unseen, secures our rest, And makes us joyous rise.

3 Numbers, this night, great God! have met Their long eternal doom;

And lost the joys of morning light)
In earth's tremendous gloom.

4 Numbers on restless beds still lie,:
And still their woes bewail;

While we, by thy kind hand uprais'd,
A thousand pleasures feel.

5 To thee, great GOD! in thankful songs
Our morning thoughts arise;
Propitious in thy Son accept

The willing sacrifice.ED, TURNER,

A Morning Hymn.

SEE how the mounting sun
Pursues his shining way;

And wide proclaims his Maker's praise,
With every brightening ray.

I slept, and I awoke, and found
My kind preserver near!

Thus does thine arm support
This weak defenceless frame;

[ocr errors]

But whence these favours, LORD to me,'!.
All worthless as I am?...

5 O! how shall I repay 7.

The bounties of my God?

This feeble spirit pants beneath
The pleasing painful load.
