HYMN 7. First Part. S. M.

All men are not saved.

ESTRUCTION's dang'rous road,
What multitudes pursue!

While that, which leads the soul to God,
Is known or sought by few.

2 Believers enter in

By Christ, the living door;
But they, who will not leave their sin,
Must perish evermore.

3 If self must be denied,
And sin forsaken quite;
They rather choose the way that's wide,
And strive to think it right.

4 Encompass'd by a throng,
On numbers they depend;
They think so many can't be wrong,
And miss a happy end.

5 But numbers are no mark
That men will right be found:
A few were sav'd in Noah's ark,
For many millions drown'd.

6 Obey the gospel call,

And enter while you may;
The flock of Christ remains still small,
And none are safe, but they.

7 Lord, open sinners' eyes,

Their awful state to see;

And make them, ere the storm arise,
To thee for safety flee.

HYMN 7.

Second Part. S. M,

Faith.

AITH!-'tis a precious grace,
Where'er it is bestow'd;

It boasts of a celestial birth,
And is the gift of God.
2 Jesus it owns a King,

An all-atoning Priest;
It claims no merit of its own,
But finds it all in Christ.

3 To him it leads the soul, When fill'd with deep distress; Appropriates his precious blood,

And trusts his righteousness. 4 Since 'tis thy work alone, And that divinely free;

Lord, send the spirit of thy Son
To work this faith in me.

HYMN 7. Third Part.

A living faith.

C. M.

1 MISTAKEN souls! that dream of heav'n,

And make their empty boast

Of inward joys, and sins forgiv'n,
While they are slaves to lust.
2 Vain are our fancies, airy flights,
If faith be cold and dead :
None, but a living pow'r, unites
To Christ the living head.

3 'Tis faith, that changes all the heart;
'Tis faith, that works by love;

That bids all sinful joys depart,
And lifts the thoughts above.

4 'Tis faith, that conquers earth and hell
By a celestial pow'r :

This is the grace that shall prevail
In the decisive hour.

5 Faith must obey her Father's will,

As well as trust his

grace;

A pard'ning God is jealous still
For his own holiness.

6 When from the curse he sets us free,
He makes our natures clean;
Nor would he send his Son to be
The minister of sin.

7 His spirit purifies our frame,
And seals our peace with God;
Jesus and his salvation came
By water and by blood.

HYMN 7. Fourth Part. P. M.
I will trust and not be afraid.

1 BEGONE unbelief,

My Saviour is near;

And for my relief

Will surely appear:

By pray'r let me wrestle, and he will perform ; With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm.

2 Tho' dark be my way,

Since he is my guide,
'Tis mine to obey,

'Tis his to provide :

Tho' cisterns be broken, and creatures all fail, The word, he has spoken, shall smal

? His rug kan ukam powoj.

Forbids me to think

He'll leave me at last,

In trouble to sink :

Each sweet Ebenezer, I have in review, Confirms his good pleasure to help me quite through.

4 Determin'd to save,

He watch'd o'er my path;

1

When, Satan's blind slave,

I sported with death:

And can he have taught me to trust in his

name,

[shame? And thus far have brought me, to put me to 5 Why should I complain

Of want or distress,
Temptation or pain?

He told me no less:

The heirs of salvation, I know from his word, Thro' much tribulation, must follow the Lord. 6 How bitter that cup

No heart can conceive,

Which he drank quite up,

That sinners might live!

His way was much rougher, and darker than

mine;

Did Jesus thus suffer, and shall I repine?

7 Since all, that I meet,

Shall work for my good;

The bitter is sweet,

The med'cine is food:

Tho' painful at present, 'twill cease before

And then, O TO

[song!

HYMN 8. First Part. L. M.

The holy Trinity.

HERE is one God, and only one;

TH

No rivals can his essence share :

He is Jehovah, he alone,

And with the Lord none can compare.

2 His works, thro' all this wondrous frame, Express the Maker's vast designs :

They bear the impress of his name;
In ev'ry part his wisdom shines.
3 If in his works such wonders rise,
How much more wonderful is he!
Whose nature's fill'd with mysteries;
His being One, his person Three.
4 What finite pow'r with ceaseless toil,
Can comprehend th' eternal Mind?
Or, who th' almighty Three and One,
By searching to perfection find?
5 Angels and men in vain may raise
Harmonious, their adoring songs ;
The lab'ring thoughts sink down opprest,
And praises die upon their tongues.
6 Yet would I lift my trembling voice,
Th' eternal Three in One to sing:
And mingling faith, while I rejoice,
My humble, grateful tribute bring.
7 All glory to th' eternal Three,
The sacred undivided One:
To Father, Son, and Spirit be
Co-equal praise, and honours done.

HYMN 8. Second Part. L. M.
The triune God, the God of our salvation.

LONG ere the sun began his days,
Or moon shot forth her silver rays,
Salvation's scheme was fixt, 'twas done
In cov'nant by the Three in One.
2 The Father spake, the Son replied,
The Spirit with them both complied :
Grace mov'd the cause for saving man,
And wisdom drew the noble plan.

3 The Father chose his only Son
To die for sins, that man had done;
