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; 3 Go heal the sick, go raise the dead, 4 Teach all the nations my commands, 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. HYMN 129. L. M. GREEN'S. 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 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 All their religion is a dream, 2 Love suffers long with patient eye, 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 5 She lays her own advantage by o So God's own Son came down to die And bought our lives with blood. c 1 ISTAKEN souls! that dream of MIS heav'n, And make their empty boast- 2 Vain are our fancies, airy flights, -None but a living pow'r unites o 3 'Tis faith, that changes all the heart, o 4 'Tis faith, that conquers earth and hell, By a celestial pow'r; This is the grace that shall prevail e 5 [Faith must obey her Father's will, As well as trust his grace; A pard'ning God is jealous still 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, 5 But God shall raise his head, And make him see a num'rous seed, 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 glorious state To dwell so near their Father's seat, e 9 Lord, I address thy heav'nly throne; -10 There shed thy choicest love abroad, |
