LORD of the harvest! Gop of grace! I
Send down thy heavenly rain.

Thou, Lord! hast given the rich increase,
And be the glory thine.'

Duties and Privileges, Jude 20, 21.

1 WHILE sinners, who presume to bear

The Christian's sacred name,

Throw up

the reins to every lust,

And glory in their shame;

2-Ye saints, preserv'd in CHRIST and call'd,
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 his saints shall from his hands
Their crowns of life receive.

Now is the accepted Time.

1 COME, guilty souls, and flee away,

TO CHRIST, and heal your wounds;
This is the welcome gospel-day,

Wherein free grace abounds.

2 GOD lov❜d the Church, and gave his Son
To drink the cup of wrath:

And JESUS says he'll cast out none
That come to him by faith.

WHO

HO is the trembling sinner, who
That owns eternal death his due?

Who mourns his sin, his guilt, his thrall,
And does on God for mercy call?
2 Peace, troubled soul, dismiss thy fear,
Hear, JESUS speaks, "Be of good cheer,”
Upon his cleansing grace rely,

And thou shalt never, never die.

How

shall the sons of men appear,

Great God! before thine awful bar?

How may the guilty hope to find
Acceptance with th' eternal Mind?

2 Not vows, nor groans, nor broken cries,
Not the most costly sacrifice,
Not infant blood, profusely spilt,
Will expiate a sinner's guilt.

3 Thy blood, dear JESUS! thine alone,
Hath sovereign virtue to atone :
Here we will rest our only plea,

When we approach, great GOD! to thee.

S Jesus mine! I'm now prepar'd
To meet with what I thought most hard

Yes, let the winds of trouble blow,
And comforts melt away like snow;
2 No blasted trees or failing crops.
Can hinder my eternal hopes;

Tho' creatures change, the LORD's the same,
Then let me triumph in his name.

Help, Hosea xiii. 9.

Help me to repent, and love;

Help to keep the graces given,

Help me quite from hell to heaven.

SEE

EE 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.

And crown my paths with peace!

My helper and my guide,

Till with his saints in Canaan's land
My portion he divide.'

1. LORD GOD, omnipotent to bless,
My supplication hear;
Guardian of Jacob! to my voice
Incline thy gracious ear.

2 If I have never yet begun

To tread the sacred road,

O teach my wandering feet the way
To Zion's blest abode !

3 Or, if I'm travelling in the path,
: Assist me with thy strength,
And let me swift advances make,
And reach thine heaven at length!
4 My care, my hope, my first request,
Are all compris'd in this,

To follow where thy saints have led,
And then partake their bliss.

1 TF, LORD! in thy fair book of life

My worthless name doth stand;
And in my heart the law is writ
By thy unerring hand;

2 I am secure, by grace divine,

Of crowns above the skies;

And on the road, from thy rich stores,
Shall meet with fresh supplies,
