When thou wilt take the veil away 5 Then sinners shall with grateful hearts HYMN 265. C. M. [#] 1 SEE the kind angels at the gates, There Jesus, the Forerunner, waits, 2 There, on a green and flowery mount, Our weary souls shall sit, And with transporting joys recount 3 No vain discourse shall fill our tongue, Nor trifles vex our ear; Infinite grace shall be our song, 4 Eternal glory to the King That brought us safely through; Our tongue shall never cease to sing, And endless praise renew. HYMN 266. L. M. [#] Jesus' Call. 1 COME, all ye weary, fainting souls, Ye heavy laden sinners, come; I'll give you rest from all your toils, 2 Ye shall find rest, that learn of me; And pride is restless as the wind. 3 Blest is the man whose shoulders take My yoke, and bear it with delight : My yoke is easy to his neck; My grace shall make the burden light. 4 Jesus, we come at thy command, With faith, and hope, and humble zeal, Resign our spirits to thy hand, To rule and guide us at thy will. HYMN 267. 8 & 7s. M. [#] Call to Zion. 1 PRAISE to God, the great Creator, 2 Here indulge each grateful feeling; Full of mercy to restore us, Mercy beaming from above. 3 Every secret fault confessing, Deed unrighteous, thought of sin, Seize, O seize the proffered blessing, Grace from God, and peace within! Heart and voice with rapture swelling, Still the song of glory raise; On the theme immortal dwelling, Join the universal praise. THE SCRIPTURES. HYMN 268. C. M. [#] Excellency of Scripture. 1 FATHER of mercies, in thy word 2 Here may the wretched sons of want Riches above what earth can grant, 3 Here the fair tree of knowledge grows, And yields a rich repast; Sublimer sweets than nature knows 4 O may these heavenly pages be And still new beauties may I see, 5 Divine Instructer, gracious Lord, HYMN 269. C. M. [#] 1 LADEN with guilt, and full of fears, 2 The volume of my Father's grace Here I behold my Saviour's face page. 3 Here living water gently flows, To wash me from my sin; Here the fair tree of knowledge grows, 4 This is the judge that ends the strife, 5 May thy wise counsels, O my God, HYMN 270. C. M. [#] Glory of the Sacred Pages. 1 WHAT glory gilds the sacred page, It gives a light to every age; 2 His hand that gave it still supplies 3 Let everlasting thanks be thine, 4 My soul rejoices to pursue L. M. [#] HYMN 271. L. M. Nature and Scripture compared. 1 THE heavens declare thy glory, Lord; 2 The rolling sun, the changing light, And nights and days thy power confess; |
