4 Lord, let the gospel-trumpet blow, And call the nations from afar, Let all the isles their Saviour know, And earth's remotest ends draw near. 5 Let Babylon's proud altars shake, And light invade her darkest gloom; The yoke of iron bondage break, The yoke of Satan and of Rome. 6 On all our souls let grace descend, Like heavenly dew in copious showers, That we may call our God our friend, That we may hail salvation ours. 7 Then shall each age and rank agree, United shouts of joy to raise: ⚫ And Zion made a praise by thee, To thee shall render back the praise: 583. IN A STATE OF REVIVAL. C. M. Luke. xv. 10. OH, how divine, how sweet the Joy, When but one sinner turns, And with an humble, broken heart, 2 Pleas'd with the news the saints below, $ Well pleas'd the Father sees and hears The conscious sinner's moan; Jesus receives him in his arms, 4 Nor angels can their joys contain, "The sinner lost is found," they sing And strike the sounding lyre. 584. 1 C. M. CONVINC'D of sin, men now begin Trembling they pray, and mourn the day 2 Young converts sing, and praise their King And bless God's holy name; While older saints leave their complaints, 3 God's chariot rolls, and frights the souls And saints in pray'r cry, "Lord, draw near, 4" From this glad hour exert thy pow'r, In those that bleed, let love succeed, 5 Come, sinners, all, hear now God's call, Saints, raise your songs, with joyful tongues, Isa. lii. 7. ON the mountain's top appearing, Welcome news to Zion bearing, Zion long in hostile lands: Mourning captive, God himself will loose thy bands. 2 Has thy night been long and mournful, Cease thy mourning, 3 God, thy God, will now restore thee' Zion's King vouchsafes to send. 4 Peace and joy shall now attend thee, All thy conflicts End in everlasting rest. N of the Gospel's glorious light, OW we hail the happy dawning May it take the wings of morning, Let our eyes behold the sight. 2 Where, amid the desert dreary, Plant, nor shrub, nor flowret grows, There refresh the wand'rer weary, With the sight of Sharon's Rose, And its beauties To the longing eye disclose. 3 Where the beasts of prey are prowling, May destruction's empire cease. 4 Oh, let all the world adore thee Universal be thy fame; Kings and subjects fall before thee, Endless praises to the Lamb. P. M. 587. Isaiah lii. 10. 1 YES! we trust the day is breaking; Darkness flies at his command. 2 Let us hail the joyful season; At his presence Gloom and darkness flee away. 3 While the foe becomes more daring; Soon shall tell the love of God. 4 God of Jacob, high and glorious, Perish, Lord, at thy command. ON ADDMITTING MEMBERS TO SACRAMENTAL COMMUNION.-CONFIRMATION HYMNS. Prayer for opposers of revivals. 4 1 BLEST Lord, behold the guilty scorn 2 Anxious we see their wretched state, They laugh and sport, and court the gate, 3 Lead them to view a sinful heart, 4 Lead them to view a holy law, Lord, change their hearts, and then their tears 589. 1 L. M. BROTHER in Christ, and well-belov'd, To Jesus and his servants dear, Enter, and show thyself approv'd; 2 Welcome from earth!-lo, the right hand 8 Say, is thy heart resolv'd as ours? 4 Jesus, attend, thyself reveal, Are we not met in thy great name? 5 Truly our fellowship below With thee, and with the Father is; |
