Go, preach my Gospel,” saith the

Lord;

Bid the whole earth my grace receive; o He shall be sav'd, who trusts my word; e He shall be damn'd, who won't believe,

-2 [I'll make your great commission known,

And ye shall prove my gospel true;
By all the works that I have done,
By all the wonders ye shall do.

3 Go heal the sick, go raise the dead,
Go cast out devils in my name;
Nor let my prophets be afraid,
Tho' Greeks reproach and Jews blas-
pheme.]

4 Teach all the nations my commands,
I'm with you till the world shall end;
All pow'r is trusted in my hands,
I can destroy, and I defend."

o 5 He spake, and light shone round his head

On a bright cloud to heav'n he rode: g They to the farthest nations spread The grace of their ascended God.

Just in the last distressing hour, The Lord displays deliv'ring pow'r; The mount of danger is the place, Where we shall see surprising grace. ARMLEY, GERMAN HYMN.

HYMN 130. L. M.

Love and Hatred. Phil. ii, 2. Eph. iv. 30, &c.

e 1

OW by the bowels of my God, His sharp distress, his sore complaints,

By his last groans, and dying blood,— I charge my soul to love the saints.

-2 Clamour and wrath and war begone, Envy and spite for ever cease;

Let bitter words no more be known, Amongst the saints, the sons of peace.

e3 The Spirit, like a peaceful dove,

Flies from the realms of noise and strife; Why should we vex and grieve his love, Who seals our souls to heav'nly life?

4 Tender and kind be all our thoughts, Through all our lives let mercy run: -So God forgives our num'rous faults, For the dear sake of Christ his Son.

So let our works and virtues shine, To prove the doctrine all divine.

2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad
The honours of our Saviour God;
When the salvation reigns within,
And grace subdues the pow'r of sin.

e 3 Our flesh and sense must be denied, Passion and envy, lust and pride;

o Whilst justice, temp'rance, truth and Our inward piety approve. [love,

Religion bears our spirits up, While we expect that blessed hope,o The bright appearance of the Lord;-And faith stands leaning on his word. CASTLE STREET. OPORTO.

HYMN 133. C. M.

Love and Charity. 1 Cor. xiii, 2———7,13.

1

ET Pharisees of high esteem
Their faith and zeal declare;

All their religion is a dream,
If love be wanting there.

2 Love suffers long with patient eye,
Nor is provok'd in haste;
She lets the present injury die,
And long forgets the past.

3 [Malice and rage, those fires of hell, She quenches with her tongue; Hopes, and believes, and thinks no ill,

Though she endures the wrong.]

4[She ne'er desires, nor seeks to know
The scandals of the time;
Nor looks with pride on those below,
Nor envies those who climb.]

5 She lays her own advantage by
To seek her neighbour's good:--

o So God's own Son came down to die And bought our lives with blood.

ISTAKEN souls! that dream of

MIS heav'n,

And make their empty boast-
Of inward joys, and sins forgivʼn,
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.

o 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.

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

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

e 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.

IKE sheep we went astray, And broke the fold of God; Each wand'ring in a diff'rent way, But all the downward road.

2 How dreadful was the hour, When God our wand'rings laid, And did at once his vengeance pour, Upon the Shepherd's head.

3 How glorious was the grace, When Christ sustain'd the stroke!

His life and blood the Shepherd pays, A ransom for the flock.

4 His honour and his breath

Were taken both away;

Join'd with the wicked in his death,
And made as vile as they.

5 But God shall raise his head,
O'er all the sons of men;

And make him see a num'rous seed,
To recompense his pain.

6 "I'll give him," saith the Lord, "A portion with the strong;

He shall possess a large reward, "And hold his honours long." ORANGE. DOVER.

HYMN 143. C. M.

Characters of the Children of GOD, from several Scriptures.

O new-born babes desire the breast, To feed, and grow, and thrive; So saints with joy the gospel taste, And by the gospel live.

5 Grace, like an uncorrupted seed, Abides and reigns within; Immortal principles forbid

The sons of God to sin.

e6 Not by the terrours of a slave Do they perform his will;

But with the noblest pow'rs they have His sweet commands fulfil.

7 They find access at ev'ry hour
To God, within the vail;
Hence they derive a quick'ning pow'r,
And joys that never fail.

8 O happy souls! O glorious state
Of ever-flowing grace!

To dwell so near their Father's seat,
And see his lovely face!

e 9 Lord, I address thy heav'nly throne;
Call me a child of thine;
Send down the Spirit of thy Son,
To form my heart divine.

-10 There shed thy choicest love abroad,
And make my comforts strong;
Then shall I say, My Father, God,
With an unwav'ring tongue.
HYMM 2D. BARBY.
