On the bloody tree behold him, cry before he dies,

Hear him

"It is finish'd."

Sinner, will not this suffice?
5 Lo! th' incarnate God ascended,
Pleads the merit of his blood;
Venture on him, 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.

2. The Same.

1 SINNERS, obey the gospel-word,
Haste to the supper of your

[ocr errors]

Lord; Be wise to know your gracious day;,

All things are ready, come away.

2 Ready the Father is to own,

And kiss his late-returning son;
Ready the loving Saviour stands,
And spreads for you his bleeding hands.
3 Ready the Spirit of his love,

1

Just now the stony heart to move;
T' apply, and witness with the blood,
And wash, and seal you sons of God.
4 Ready for you the angels wait,
To triumph in your blest estate:
Tuning their harps, they long to praise
The wonders of redeeming grace.
5 Come then, ye sinners, to your Lord,
To happiness in Christ restor'd;
His proffer'd benefits embrace,
And taste the fulness of his grace.

3. Weary Souls invited to Rest. 1 COME, weary soul, with sins distrest, The Saviour offers heavenly rest; The kind, the gracious call obey, And cast your gloomy fears away. 2 Oppress'd with guilt, a painful load, O come, and spread your woes abroad; Divine compassion, mighty love, Will all the painful load reinove. 3 Here mercy's boundless ocean flows, To cleanse your guilt, and heal your woes, Pardon and life, and endless peace How rich the gift! how free the grace! 4 Lord, we accept with thankful heart, The hope thy gracious words impart; We come with trembling, yet rejoice, And bless the kind inviting voice. 5 Dear Saviour, let thy pow'rful love Confirm our faith, our fears remove, And sweetly influence ev'ry breast, And guide us to eternal rest.

4. The Saviour's Invitation. 1 THE Saviour calls, let ev'ry ear Attend the heav'nly sound; Ye doubting souls, dismiss your fear, Hope smiles reviving round.

2 For ev'ry thirsty, longing heart,
Here streams of bounty flow,

And life and health, and bliss impart,
To banish mortal woe.

3 Here springs of sacred pleasure rise,
To ease your ev'ry pain,

(Immortal fountain! full supplies!)
Nor shall you thirst in vain.

4 Ye sinners, come, 'tis mercy's voice; i
The gracious call obey;

Mercy invites to heav'nly joys,
And can you yet delay?

5. Dear Saviour, draw reluctant hearts,
To thee let sinners fly,

And take the bliss thy love imparts,
And drink, and never die.

5. The Same.

1 YE weary wanderers, draw near,
That know no solid peace or rest,
Lay by each doubt, and anxious fear,
And lean upon your Saviour's breast:
AH's stolen fruit that can be found
To cheer the soul on nature's ground.
2 Come, for the gospel bids you come:
JESUS for sinners bled and dy'd;
The sacred word reports there's room,
The Lamb he woos you for his bride:
Your souls shall find a resting-place
In th' arms of everlasting grace.
3 The day of small things don't despise;
By poverty increase your store;
The happy soul that's truly wise,
Can richer grow by being poor:
To melt in love, to sink in shame,
This be my wish, that be my flame.
4 Give me a sympathizing soul,

To bear thy suff'rings on my heart,
Thy pain and agonizing toil,

Nor let me from this vision part;
Then shall I heartily rejoice,
And raise to thee my grateful voice.
5 All earthly objects now give way,

Nature and creature both resign;
On thee by faith myself I'll stay,
And taste the pow'r of love divine
Redemption in thy blood is found,
My anchor's cast on sacred ground.

6. At the opening of Worship. 1 NOW may the Spirit's holy fire, Descending from above,

His waiting family inspire

With joy, and peace, and love!
2. Thee we the Comforter confess;
Unless thou'rt present here,
Our songs of praise are vain address,
We utter heartless pray'r.

3 'Wake, heav'nly Wind, arise, and come,
Blow on the drooping field;
Our spices then shall breathe perfume,
And fragrant incense yield.
4 Touch with a living coal the lip
That shall proclaim thy word;
And bid each awful hearer keep
Attention to the Lord.

5 Hasten the restitution-day,

Which now corruption shrouds,
New heavens and new earth display,
With Jesus in the clouds.

7. The Same. 1 ONCE more we come before our God, Once more his blessing ask; may not duty seem a load, Nos worship prove a task!

2 Father, thy quick'ning Spirit send
From heav'n in Jesus' name,

To make our waiting minds attend,
And put our souls in frame.
3 May we receive the word we hear,
Each in an honest heart;

Hoard up the precious treasure there,
And never with it part.

4 To seek thee all our hearts dispose;
To each thy blessing suit;

And let the seed thy servant sows
Produce a plenteous fruit.

5 Bid the refreshing North-wind 'wake
Say to the South-wind, blow;
Let ev'ry plant the pow'r partake,
And all the garden grow.

6 Revive the parch'd with heav'nly show'rs, The cold with warmth divine;

And as the benefit is ours,
Be all the glory thine.

8. The Same.

1 LORD, we come before thee now, At thy feet we humbly bow:

O! do not our suit disdain,

Shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain! 2 Lord, on thee our souls depend, In compassion now descend, Fill our hearts with thy rich grace, Tune our lips to sing thy praise. 3 In thine own appointed way, Now we seek thee, here we stay: Lord, we know not how to go, Till a blessing thou bestow. 4 Send some message from thy word, That may joy and peace afford; Let thy Spirit now impart Full salvation to each heart. 5 Comfort those who weep Let the time of joy return; Those that are cast down, lift up; Make them strong in faith and hope! 6 Grant that all may seek, and find Thee a gracious God and kind; Heal the sick, the captive free: Let us all rejoice in thee!

and mourn,
