In vain they call, in vain they cry,

Till thine almighty aid is nigh.
4 But if thy Spirit deign to breathe,

Life spreads through all the realms of death ;
Dry bones obey thy powerful voice;

They move, they waken, they rejoice. 5 So, when thy trumpet's awful sound

Shall shake the heav'ns and rend the ground,
Dead saints shall from their tombs arise,

And spring to life beyond the skies. 371 (20 P.) L. M. Wareham 117. Paul's 246,

Prayer for the whole Congregation.
1 LORD, in our hearts implant thy fear,

And make and keep us all sincere ;
Draw burthen'd sinners to thy Son,

And make him to his mourners known. 2 Thy richest grace vouchsafe to give.

Aš each is able to receive;
The blessed grief to all impart,

Or joy, or purity of heart.
3 Our helpless unbelief remove,

And melt us by thy pard’ning love:
Work in us faith, or faith's increase

The dawning or the perfect peace. 4 Give each whate’er for each is best,

But grant us all the promis'd rest;
Thy blessing in the means convey,
Nor empty send one soul away.

distant lands thy Gospel send,

And thus thy empire wide extend:
To Gentile, Turk, and stubborn Jew,

Thou King of Grace! salvation shew.

Thy wisdom, power, and righteousness,

Duties and Privileges, Jude 20, 21.
1 WHILE sinners, who presume to bear

The Christian's sacred name,
Throw the reins to every lust,

up
And glory in their shame;
2 Ye saints, presery'd in Christ and callid,

Detest their impious ways,
And on the basis of

your

faith
.!;. An heavenly temple raise.
3 Upon the Spirit's promis'd aid

Depend from day to day,
And while he breathes his quick’ning gale,

Adore, and praise, and pray.
4 Preserve unquench'd your love to God,

And let the flame arise,
And higher, and still higher blaze,

Till it ascend the skies.
5 With a transporting joy expect

The grace your Lord shall give,
When all bis saints shall from his hands

Their crowns of life receive.

Not the most costly sacrifice,

When we approach, great God! to thee. 377 (20 P.) 7s. Cookham 36. Stoel 164.

Felix trembling, Acts xxiv. 24, 25.
1 SEE Felix, cloth'd with pomp and power,

See his resplendent bride,
Attend to hear a prisoner preach

The Saviour crucify’d.
2 He well describes who Jesus was,

His glories and his love,
How he obey'd and bled below,

And reigns and pleads above.
3 Felix up starts, and trembling cries,

Go, for this time, away;
"I'll hear thee on these points again

• On some convenient day.' 4 Attention to the words of life

Let Felix thus adjourn ;
Lord! let us make these solemn truths

Our first and last concern. 381 s. M. Eagle Street New 55. Vermont 134,
