4 Agonizing in the garden,

Lo! your Saviour prostrate lies;
On the bloody tree behold him!
Hear him cry before he dies:
"It is finish'd;"

Sinners, will not this suffice?

5 Lo! the Son of God ascending
To his Father and our God;
Venture on hira, venture freely,
Let no other trust intrude;
None but Jesus,

Can do helpless sinners good.

6 Saints and angels join'd in concert,
Sing the praises of the Lamb,
While the blissful seats of heaven,
Sweetly echo with his name;
Hallelujah!

Sinners here may do the same.

Invitation to the Youth.

1 YOUNG people all, attention give, While we address you in God's name; You who in sin and folly live,

Come hear the counsel of your friend. We've sought for bliss in glitt'ring toys, And rang'd the 'luring scenes of vice; But never knew substantial joys,

Till we obey'd our Saviour's voice.

2 He spake at once our sins forgiv'n,
And wash'd our load of guilt away;
He gave us glory, peace, and heaven,
And thus we found the heavenly way.
And now, with trembling sense, we view
Huge billows roll beneath our feet;
death and judgment wait for you,
Who slight the force of gospel truth.

nth, like the spring, will soon be gone,
By fleeting time, or conquering death;
ur morning sun may set at noon,
And leave you ever in the dark.

Your sparkling eyes, and blooming cheeks, Must wither like the blasted rose; The coffin, earth, and winding sheet, Will soon your active limbs inclose. 4 Ye heedless ones that wildly stroll,

The grave will soon become your bed,
Where darkness reigns, and vapours roll
In solemn silence round your head.
Your friends will pass the lonesome place,
And with a sigh move slow along,
Still gazing on the spires of grass
With which your graves are overgrown.

5 O! careless youth think on the state
Of all, who do free grace refuse;
For soon with you 'twill be too late
The way of life in Christ to choose.
Come, lay your carnal weapons by,
No longer fight against your God;
But with the gospel now comply,

20.

And heaven shall be your great reward.

1 WITH singing we praise

The original grace,

By our heavenly Father bestow'd
Our being receive

From his bounty, and live

To the honour and glory of God.

2 For thy glory we were

. Created to share,

Both the nature and kingdom divine!

Created again

That our souls may remain

In time and eternity thine.

3 With thanks we approve
The design of thy love,

Which hath join'd us in Jesus' name;
So united in heart,

That we never can part,

Till we meet at the feast of the Lamb.

4 Hallelujah we sing,

To our Father and King,

And his rapturous praises repeat;
To the Lamb that was slain,
Hallelujah again,

Sing all heaven and fall at his feet?

1 WE'RE glad we ever saw the day
We met to sing, and preach, and pray;
Here's glory, glory in each soul,

Which makes us praise our Lord so bold.
2 Lord keep us safe while passing through,
And fill our souls with meekness too;
Redeeming grace that pleasing song,
We'll sing as we do pass along.

3 We hope to praise him when we rise, And shout salvation through the skies; Sing glory, glory in the air,

Meet all our Father's children there.

Social Worship.

1 YE happy children who follow Jesus,
Into the house of prayer and praise,
Who are join'd in union while love increases
Resolv'd this way to spend your days;

Although we are hated by the world and
Satan,

And flesh, and such as know not God, Yet happy moments and joyful seasons, We oft times find on Canaan's road.

2 Whilst we've been waiting on lovely Jesus, We've felt some streams coming from above,

Our hearts have burned with holy raptures,
We long to be absorb'd in love;
Then let us hold fast what is given,

And trust in God for time to come,
Hure we shall find our way to heaven,
So farewell brethren, we're going home.

Longing for Heaven.

O WHEN shall we see Jesus,
And reign with him above;

And from that flowing fountain
Drink everlasting love?
When shall we be deliver'd
From this vain world of sin,
And with our blessed Jesus
Drink endless pleasures in?
2 But now we are his soldiers,
Our Captain's gone before,
He's given us our orders,
And bid us not give o'er;
If we continue faithful

A righteous crown he'll give,
And all his valiant soldiers
Eternal life shall have.

3 Through grace we are determin'd,
To conquer, though we die;
And then away to Jesus,

On wings of love, we'll fly.
Farewell to sin and sorrow,
We'll bid you all adieu;

And O dear friends be faithful,
And on your way pursue.

Blind Bartimeus.

1 MERCY, O thou Son of David!
Thus blind Bartimeus prayed;
Many by thy grace are saved,

O wilt thou vouchsafe thine aid.
2 For his crying many chid him,
But he cried the louder still,
Till his gracious Saviour bid him
Come, and ask me what you will.
3 Money was not what he wanted,
Though by begging us'd to live;
But he ask'd, and Jesus granted

Alms which none but Christ could give. 4 Lord, remove this grievous blindness, Turn our darkness into day;

Straight he saw and drawn by kindness, Follow'd Jesus in the way.

5 Now methinks we hear him praising, Publishing to all around;

Friends is not our case amazing? What a Saviour we have found! 60 that all the blind but knew him, And would be advis'd by me; Surely they would come unto him, He would cause them all to see.

The unconverted Thief.

1 JESUS CHRIST has power alone
To subdue a heart of stone;
And the moment grace is felt,
Then the hardest heart will melt.
2 When the Lord was crucified,
Two transgressors with him died;
One with vile blasphemous tongue
Scoff'd at Jesus as he hung.

3 Thus he spent his wicked breath,
In the very jaws of death;

Perish'd as too many do,

With a Saviour in their view.

4 But the other, touch'd with grace, Saw the danger of his case;

Faith receiv'd to own his Lord,

Whom the Scribes and priests abhorr'd.

5 Lord, he prayed, remember me,
When in glory thou shalt be;
Soon with me, the Lord replies,
Thou shalt be in paradise.

6 This was wond'rous grace indeed,
Grace vouchsaf'd in time of need;
Sinners trust in Jesus' name,
You will find him still the same.

7 But beware of unbelief,

Think upon the harden'd thief!
If the gospel you disdain,

Christ to you has died in vain.
