How Jesus conquer'd death and hell,
And broke the fowler s snare:
But when I found his truth remain,
The sinner must be born again,
I sunk in deep despair.
While thus my soul in anguish lay,
Jesus of Naz reti. pass'd that way,
If this pity nove,
The sinner by his justice slain,
Now by his grace is born again,
And sings redeeming love.
7. To heaven the joyful tidings flew,
The angels fun'd their harps anew,
And loftier Rounds did raise;
All hail the Lamb that once was slam,
Unnumber'd millions born again,
Shall shout thy endless praise.

Nor waits for mortals. care or bliss,

Till I arrive where Jesus is.

Sore conflicts yet await for you;
Yet dauntless koep the heavenly road,
Till Canaan's happy land you view,

Large petitions with thee bring;

HYMN 5. C. M.
Arise and shine, O Zion fair,
Behold thy fight is come;
Thy glorious conqu'ring king is near,
To take his exiles home
The trumpet's thund'ring thro' the sky, To set poor sinners free;
The day of wonders now is nigh,
The year of jubilee.
2. Ye heralds blow your trumpets loud,
Throughout the earth and sky;
Go spread the news from pole to pole,
Behold the judgment's nigh;
Blow out the sun, turn up the earth,
Consume the rolling flood,
While every star shall disappear,
The moon turn into blood.
3. Arise ye nations under ground,
Before the judge appear;
All tongues, all languages shall come;
Their final doom to hear:
King Jesus on his azure throne,
Ten thousand angels round;
While Gabriel with his silver trump,
Echoes the dreadful sound..
4. The glorious news of gospel grace
With sinners now is o'er,
The trump in Zion now is still,
And to be blown no more;
The watchmen all have left their walls,
And with their flocks above,
On Canaan's happy shore they sing,
And shout redeeming love.
5. Come, all ye pilgrims of the Lord,
Whose hearts are joined in one;
Hold up your hands with courage bold,
Your race is almost run.
Above the clouds behold him stand,
And smiling bid you come,
While angels beckon you away,
To your eternal home..
6. To see a pilgrim as he dies,
With glory in his view,
To heaven he lifts his longing eyes,
And bids the world adieu,
While friends stand weeping all around,
And loath to let him go;
He shouts with his expiring breath,
And leaves them all below.
7. Oh Christians are you, ready now
To cross the narrow flood?
On Canaan s happy shore behold
And see a smiling God!
The dazzling charms of that bright world,
Attract my soul above;
My tongue shall shout redeeming grace, ›
When perfected in love.
8. Go on, my brethren, in the Lord,
I'm bound to meet you there, [ground,
Though you've to travel the enchanted
Hold out, and do not fear,
Fight on, fight on, ye conqu 'rng souls,
The land keep still in viewi
And when you reach fair Canaan's shore, I hope to meet with you.
