"Till not the name of saints remain, "Nor mem'ry shall be found."

6 Awake, almighty God,

And call thy wrath to mind; Give them like forests to the fire, Or stubble to the wind.]

7 Convince their madness, Lord, And make them seek thy name; Or else their stubborn rage confound, That they may die in shame. 8 Then shall the nations know

That glorious dreadful word; g JEHOVAH—is thy name alone,

And thou the sov'reign Lord.

The Pleasure of Public Worship. [OW pleasant, how divinely fair, O Lord of hosts, thy dwellings are With long desire my spirit faints, To meet th' assemblies of thy saints. e 2 My flesh would rest in thine abode, My panting heart cries out for God; e My God, my King, why should I be So far from all my joys, and thee? 3 [The sparrow chooses where to rest, And for her young provides her nest; But will my God to sparrows grant That pleasure which his children want?] o 4 Blest are the saints who sit on high, Around thy throne of majesty;

• Thy brightest glories shine above,

And all their work is praise and love.
o 5 Blest are the souls, who find a place
Within the temple of thy grace;
There they behold thy gentler rays,
And seek thy face, and learn thy praise.

o 6 Blest are the men, whose hearts are set
To find the way to Zion's gate;

God is their strength: and thro' the road,
They lean upon their helper God.

7 Cheerful they walk with growing strength, 'Till all shall meet in Heav'n at length; s 'Till all before thy face appear,

And join in nobler worship there.

L. M. SECOND PART. Castle-Street. Green's. [*] God and his Church: or, Grace and Glory. 1 REAT God, attend while Zion sings

GThe joy that from thy presence springs;

To spend one day with thee on earth,
Exceeds a thousand days of mirth.
e 2 Might I enjoy the meanest place,
Within thy house, O God of grace;
-Not tents of ease, nor thrones of pow'r,
Should tempt my feet to leave the door.
c 3 God is our Sun, he makes our day;
God is our Shield, he guards our way
From all th' assaults of hell and sin,
From foes without and foes within.
-4 All needful grace will God bestow,
And crown that grace with glory too;
He gives us all things, and withholds
No real good from upright souls.

g 5 0 God our King, whose sov'reign sway
The glorious hosts of heaven obey,
And devils at thy presence flee,

Blest is the man who trusts in thee.

My soul, how lovely is the place,

To which thy God resorts!

'Tis heav'n, to see his smiling face,

Though in his earthly courts.

o 2 There the great Monarch of the skies His saving pow'r displays;

o And light breaks in upon our eyes, With kind and quick'ning rays.

b 3 With his rich gifts the heav'nly Dove,
Descends and fills the place;

-While Christ reveals his wondrous love,
And sheds abroad his grace.

• 4 There, mighty God, thy words declare
The secrets of thy will;

And still we seek thy mercies there,
And sing thy praises still.

PAUSE.

-5 [My heart and flesh cry out for thee, While far from thine abode :

p When shall I tread thy courts, and see My Saviour and my God?

-6 The sparrow builds herself a nest,
And suffers no remove;

e O make me, like the sparrows blest,
To dwell but where I love.
-7 To sit one day beneath thine eye,
And hear thy gracious voice,
Exceeds a whole eternity,

Employ'd in carnal joys.

e 8 Lord, at thy threshhold I would wait, While Jesus is within;

Rather than fill a throne of state,
Or live in tents of sin.

-9 Could I command the spacious land, And the more boundless sea,

For one blest hour at thy right hand,
I'd give them both away.]

Longing for the House of God.

ORD of the worlds above,
How pleasant, and how fair,

The dwellings of thy love,

Thy earthly temples are!

To thine abode

My heart aspires;
With warm desires,
To see my God.

2 [The sparrow for her young,
Wiih pleasure seeks a nest,
And wand'ring swallows long,
To find their wonted rest!
My spirit faints,
With equal zeal,
To rise and dwell

Among thy saints.]

o 30 happy souls, who pray

Where God appoints to hear!

O happy men, who pay
Their constant service there!
They praise thee still;

And happy they,

Who love the way

To Zion's hill.

-4 They go from strength to strength,
Through this dark vale of tears;
'Till each arrives at length,
'Till each in heav'n appears.

thou hast
Thou hast revers'd our heavy doom;

So God forgave, when Israel sinn'd,
And bro't his wand'ring captives home.
2 Thou hast begun to set us free,
And made thy fiercest wrath abate;
Now let our hearts be turn'd to thee,
And thy salvation be complete.

e 3 Revive our dying graces, Lord,
And let thy saints in thee rejoice;
Make known thy truth, fulfil thy word;
We wait for praise to tune our voice.
4 We wait to hear what God will say:
o He'll speak, and give his people peace:
-But let them run no more astray,

e Lest his returning wrath increase.

ALVATION is forever nigh

The souls who fear and trust the Lord;

And grace, descending from on high,

Fresh hopes of glory shall afford.

b 2 Mercy and truth on earth are met,

Since Christ the Lord came down from heav'n, By his obedience so complete,

Justice is pleas'd, and peace is giv'n.

o 3 Now truth and honour shall abound,
Religion dwell on earth again;

And heavenly influence bless the ground,
In our Redeemer's gentle reign.
-4 His righteousness is gone before,
To give us free access to God;

Our wand'ring feet shall stray no more,
But mark his steps, and keep the road.

A There's none hath power Divine;

Nor is their nature, mighty Lord,

Nor are their works, like thine.

2 The nations thou hast made, shall bring
Their offerings round thy throne;
For thou alone dost wondrous things;
For thou art God alone.
