SIN HYMN. CXXIX. L. M. The Sinner's alarm. I. INNERS, O why so thoughtless grown? Why in such dreadful haste to die; Daring to leap to worlds unknown, Heedless against thy God to fly. II. Wilt thou despise eternal fate, III. Stay, sinner, on the Gospel plains, HYMN CXXX. P. M. I. VITAL spark of heav'nly flame! Quit, Oh quit this mortal frame: Trembling, hoping, ling'ring, flying, Oh the pain, the bliss of dying! Cease, fond nature, cease thy strife, And let me languish into life. II. Hark! they whisper; angels say, What is this absorbs me quite ? III. The world recedes, it disappears! Lend, lend your wings! I mount! I fly! HYMN CXXXI. Sevens. I. KING of Salem, bless my soul ! Make a wounded sinner whole, King of righteousness and peace, II. Come! refresh this soul of mine, Half of which cannot be told. III. Hail Melchizedek divine! Great High-Priest thou shalt be mine; Q All my powers before thee fall, HYMN CXXXII. L. M. I. HAIL Sov'reign love! that first began The scheme to rescue fallen men!

A few more rolling Suns at most, Will land me on fair Canaan's coast; There shall I sing the song of grace, And see my glorious Hiding Place! HYMN CXXXIII. L. M. I. JESUS, my all, to heaven is gone, He whom I fix my hopes upon; II. The way the holy prophets went, III. This is the way I long have sought, And mourn'd because I found it not; My grief, my burden long has been, IV. The more I strove against its power, V. Lo! glad I come, and thou, blest Lamb, VI. Then will I tell to sinners round, say, "BEHOLD THE WAY TO GOD." HYMN CXXXIV. L. M.
