6th P. M. 6 lines 7s.

Fly to Jesus.

EARY souls, that wander wide
From the central point of bliss:
Turn to Jesus crucified;

Fly to those dear wounds of his :
Sink into the purple flood;
Rise into the life of God.

2 Find in Christ the way of peace,
Peace unspeakable, unknown;
By his pain he gives you ease,
Life by his expiring groan:
Rise exalted by his fall;
Find in Christ your all in all.

3 O believe the record true,
God to you his Son hath given;
Ye may now be happy too,

Find on earth the life of heaven:
Live the life of heaven above,
All the life of glorious love.

4 This the universal bliss,
Bliss for every soul design'd;
God's original promise this,

God's great gift to all mankind:
Blest in Christ this moment be,
Blest to all eternity.

COME

1st P. M. 6 lines 8s.

Room for the guilty.

HOME, O my guilty brethren, come, Groaning beneath your load of sin; His bleeding heart shall make you room; His open side shall take you in: He calls you now, invites you home: Come, O my guilty brethren, come.

2 For you the purple current flow'd,
In pardons from his wounded side;
Languish'd for you the Son of God;
For you the Prince of glory died.
Believe, and all your sin's forgiven :
Only believe, and yours is heaven.

P. M. 87, 87, 77.

The healing Fountain.

OME to Calvary's holy mountain,
Sinners fuin'd by the fall;

COM

Here a pure and healing fountain
Flows for every thirsty soul,
In a full perpetual tide,
Open'd when the Saviour died.
2 Come, in sorrow and contrition,
Wounded, impotent, and blind;
Here the guilty, free remission,
Here the lost, a refuge, find.
Health, this fountain will restore;
He that drinks need thirst no more.
3 Come, ye dying, live forever;
"Tis a soul-reviving flood;
God is faithful; he will never

Break his cov'nant seal'd in blood;
Sign'd when our Redeemer died;
By the Spirit ratified.

S. M.

Seek Him while he may be found.
son, know thou the Lord;
Thy father's God obey;
Seek his protecting care by night,
His guardian hand by day.

2 Call, while he may be found;

Seek him while he is near;

Serve him with all thy heart and mind,
And worship him with fear.

3 If thou wilt seek his face,
His ear will hear thy cry;
Then shalt thou find his mercy sure,
His grace forever nigh.

4 But if thou leave thy God,
Nor choose the path to heaven;
Then shalt thou perish in thy sins,
And never be forgiven.

L

He justifieth the ungodly.

C. M.

OVERS of pleasure more than God,
For you he suffer'd pain;

For you the Saviour spilt his blood:
And shall he bleed in vain?

2 Sinners, his life for you he paid;
Your basest crimes he bore;
Your sins were all on Jesus laid,
That you might sin no more.
3 To earth the great Redeemer came,
That you might come to heaven;
Believe, believe in Jesus' name,
And all your sin's forgiven.

4 Believe in him who died for thee;
And, sure as he hath died,

Thy debt is paid, thy soul is free,
And thou art justified.

The gospel feast.

L. M.

YOME, sinners, to the gospel feast;
Let every soul be Jesus' guest:

Ye need not one be left behind,
For God hath bidden all mankind.

2 Sent by my Lord, on you I call;
The invitation is to all:

Come all the world! come, sinner, thou! All things in Christ are ready now.

3 Come, all ye souls by sin oppress'd, Ye restless wand'rers after rest;

Ye poor, and maim'd, and halt, and blind,
In Christ a hearty welcome find.

4 My message as from God receive;
Ye all may come to Christ and live:
O let his love your hearts constrain,
Nor suffer him to die in vain.

5 See him set forth before your eyes,
That precious, bleeding sacrifice:
His offer'd benefits embrace,

And freely now be saved by grace.

349

S. M.

And yet there is room.

E wretched, starving poor,

Y Behold a royal feast!

Where mercy spreads her bounteous store For every humble guest.

2 See, Christ, with open arms,

Invites, and bids you come;

O stay not back, though fear alarms;
For yet there still is room.

3 0 come, and with us taste

The blessings of his love:

While hope expects the sweet repast
Of nobler joys above.

4 There, with united voice,

Before the' eternal throne,

Ten thousand thousand souls rejoice,

In ecstasies unknown.

5 Ten thousand thousand more
Are welcome still to come:

Ye longing souls, the grace adore;
Approach, there yet is room.

L. M.

All things are now ready. INNERS, obey the gospel word; Haste to the supper of my 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 your loving Saviour stands, And spreads for you his bleeding hands. 3 Ready the Spirit of his love, Just now the stony to remove; To' apply and witness with the blood, And wash and seal the 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 The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Are ready, with their shining host: All heaven is ready to resound,The dead's alive! the lost is found!

FROM

6th P. M. 6 lines 7s.

Come, and welcome.

OM the cross uplifted high,
Where the Saviour deigns to die,

What melodious sounds we hear
Bursting on the ravish'd ear:-
Love's redeeming work is done-
Come and welcome, sinner, come!

2 Sprinkled now with blood the throneWhy beneath thy burdens groan

On his piercéd body laid,

Justice owns the ransom paid;

Bow the knee,-embrace the Son

Come and welcome, sinner, come!
