The seeing eye, the feeling sense, The tears that tell your sins forgiv'n; 9 The guiltless shame, the sweet distress; !" The wonder," Why such love to me 10 The o'erwhelming power of saving grace, The sight that veils the seraph's face; The speechless awe that dares not move, And all the silent heaven of love. HYMN 10. 10's & 11's. E thirsty for God, To Jesus give ear; And take, through his blood, A power to draw near; His kind invitation, Ye sinners, embrace, Accepting salvation, Salvation by grace. 2 Sent down from above, Who governs the skies, In vehement love To sinners he cries, "Drink into my Spirit, Who happy would be, "And all things inherit, By coming to me." 3 O Saviour of all, Thy word we believe, And come at thy call, Thy grace to receive; The blessing is given, Wherever thou art: The earnest of heaven, Is love in the heart. 4 To us, at thy feet, The Comforter give, Who gasp to admit Thy Spirit and live; The weakest believers Acknowledge for thine, And fill us with rivers Of water divine! 1 |OD, the offended God most high, Gambassadors to rebels sends; His messengers his place supply, Thy condescending mercy praise.

M. 1OME, ye that love the Lord, Join in a song with sweet accord, 2 The God that rules on high, Our Father and our Love; 2 He will send down his heavenly powers, To carry us above. 3 There we shall see his face, There, from the rivers of his grace, Yea, and before we rise To that immortal state, The thoughts of such amazing bliss 4 The men of grace have found Glory begun below: Celestial fruit, on earthly ground, And every tear be dry; We're marching thro' Immanuel's ground, To fairer worlds on high. 'H Rests within his Shepherd's arms! APPY soul, that, free from harms, Who his quiet shall molest?" Who shall violate his rest? Jesus doth his spirit bear, Jesus takes his every care; He who found the wandering sheep, 20 that I might so believe, Smile at the destroyer nigh: All his care rejoice to prove; 3 Jesu, seek thy wandering sheep; 4 Live, till all thy life I know, With the sheep at thy right hand! HAPPY the man that finds the grace, The blessing of God's chosen race, The wisdom coming from above, The faith that sweetly works by love. 2 Happy beyond description, he Who knows "the Saviour died for me!" The gift unspeakable obtains, And heavenly understanding gains. 3 Wisdom divine! Who tells the price Of Wisdom's costly merchandise? Wisdom to silver we prefer, And gold is dross compared to her. 4 Her hands are fill'd with length of days, True riches, and immortal praise;" Riches of Christ, on all bestow'd, And honour that descends from God. 5 To purest joys, she all invites, Chaste, holy, spiritual delights: Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her flowery paths are peace. 6 Happy the man who wisdom gains; Thrice happy! who his guest retains; He owns, and shall for ever own, 1 Wisdom, and Christ, and Heaven are one. HAPPY the souls to Jesus join'd, Walking in all his ways they find 2 The Church triumphant in thy love, They sing the Lamb in hymns above, 3 Thee, in thy glorious realm they praise, |
