HYMN 61.

The Youth's Resolution.

HILE I am blest with youthful bloom,
I will adore the sacred Lamb,
Who bled and di'd for me;

If God inspires my heart with grace,
And lets me see his shining face,
A pilgrim I will be.

2 I'll leave this world with all its toys,
And seek those far superior joys,

That doth in Jesus dwell; If Jesus be my God and king, Immortal triumph I will sing,

O'er all the powers of hell.

SA frowning world I will defy,
And all those flatt'ring charms deny,
If Jesus stands my friend;
Not long I have this storm to stand,
Of this ensnaring barren land;
My conflict soon will end.

4 Jesus my friend my cause will plead, Conduct my steps, supply my needs, And never let me fall;

Jesus will all my foes destroy

Will be my life, my strength, my joy ;
Jesus is all in all.

5 With joy I'll spend my fleeting days,
To sound abroad his heav'nly praise,
And tell the world his love;
And when I quit this mortal stage,
I shall in sacred strains engage,
Among the saints above.

>

6 Where I shall with my Jesus dwell,
In joys beyond what tongue can tell,
On that immortal shore :

Jesus my love shall be my joy,
His praises be my sweet employ,
And part from him no more.

HYMN 62.

Unity.

ET strife forever cease,
And envy quit the field,

Come join and live in love and peace,
And to the gospel yield.

2 Let bitter words no more
Among the saints remain :
Let ev'ry member ev'ry hour,
Submit to Jesus' reign.

3 One Lord we have to fear,
One faith we all confess;
To th' same baptism adhere,
And magnify free grace.

4 Then why should we contend,
For meat and drink and dress,

And crucify the Lord again,

And pierce his wounds afresh.

5 When bitter words arise,

Then satan has his ends;

We wound the heart and hands of Christ, Amidst his chosen friends.

6 No more we'll feel the flame,
Nor judge ourselves too wise;

But search with care to find the beam,
That lurks within our eyes.

G

7 Unto the world we prove,
That we disciples are ;

They shall behold us walk in love,
And say the Lord is there.

8 Then we will live like those,
Who now agree in love;

And when by death our eyes shall close,
We'll join with them above.

HYMN 63. C. M.

The Pilgrim's mutual conference.

HALL

AIL! happy pilgrims, whence came ye,
All whither are you
bound?

Who from the land of Egypt flee,

'Tis Canaan we have found.

2 How came ye first to walk this way?
Were you alarm'd with fear?

A school-master appear'd one day,
With countenance severe :

3 His presence struck our hearts with awe; His eyes appear'd like flame :

I am said he the holy law;

And from Mount Sinai came.

4 Then lo, our sentence he declar'd
Was everlasting death;

For, till his precepts were prepar'd,
We were expos'd to wrath.

5 At last a messenger of peace,
Evangelist by name,

Appear'd and gave us sweet release,
From that devouring flame.

6 He pointed out the Lamb of God,
In that distressing day,

And said behold his precious blood,
That takes your guilt away.

7 Thus were we from our bondage freed And set at liberty:

Come then dear brethren, well agreed,
For thus redeem'd were we.

8 Come let us then together walk,
Together let us sing:

Be this the subject of our talk,
To praise the Lamb our king.

HYMN 64. L. M.

Invitation to sinners.

NOME sinners to the gospel feast,

Let ev'ry soul be Jesus' guest;

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

2 "Have me excus'd" why will you say;
From health, and life, and liberty;
From all that is in Jesus given,
From pardon, holiness and heaven.

3 Come then ye souls by sin opprest,
Ye weary wand'rers after rest;
Ye poor and maimed, halt and blind,
In Christ a hearty welcome find.

4 See him set forth before your eyes,
Behold the bleeding sacrifice;
His offer'd love let all embrace,
And freely now be sav'd by grace.

*

5 Ye who believe his record true,
Shall sup with him and he with you;
Come to the feast be sav'd from sin,
For Jesus waits to take you in.

6 This is the time, no more delay,
This is the glorious gospel day;
Come in this moment at his call,
And live to him who di'd for all.

HYMN 65. C. M.

Joy in the Holy Ghost.

Y soul doth magnify the Lord,.

M My spirit doth rejoice
Μ

In God my Saviour and my God,
I hear his joyful voice.

2 I need not go abroad for joy,
Who have a feast at home;
My sighs are turned into songs,
The comforter is come.

3 Down from above the blessed dove
Is come into my breast,
To witness God's eternal love ;
This is my heav'nly feast.

4 This makes me abba father cry,

With confidence of soul:

It makes me cry my

Lord, my

God,

And that without controul.

5 There is a stream which issues forth

From God's eternal throne,

And from the Lamb, a living stream,
Clear as the chrystal stone.
