COMPILED Kjr REV. JOSEPH ''bANVAED. BOSTON: JOHN P. JEWETT AND COMPANY. CLEVELAND: HENRY P. B. JEWETTj 1858. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1858, by JOHN P. JEWETT & CO., In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the District of Massachusetts. Electrotyped and Printed by W. P. DRAPER, ANDOVER, MASS. NOTE i This little volume contains a collection of earnest, spirited hymns particularly appropriate for seasons of religious revival. Some of them, though desti- tute of poetic merit, having been set to tunes which are extensively used and admired, are, for that rea- son, inserted here. Their solemn religious sentiment and heart-stirring music compensate for the absence of the poetic element. Many of the tunes are con- tained in the " Wesleyan Sacred Harp," and the " American Vocalist." It is a good practice for those who are interested in sustaining vestry singing to hold special meetings for that purpose, when these and other tunes might be easily learned. It is not intended that this collection should sup- plant the vestry hymn books now in use. It has a more humble mission. It aims simply to be their companion during a revival. For this reason the number of hymns is limited. The book is made and sold at a low price, so that all persons who desire to, may obtain one, and be able to carry it in their pocket Avithout inconvenience. TABLE OF CONTENTS.

RE two or three, with swe Obedient to their sovereign Lord, Meet to recount his acts of grace, And offer solemn prayer and praise ; — 2 ' There,' says the Saviour, ' will I be, Amid this little company ; To them unveil my smiling face. And shed my glories round the place.' 3 We meet at thy command, dear Lord, Relying on thy faithful word : Now send thy Spirit from above, Now fill our hearts with heavenly love. 21 2, 3. SOCIAL MEETINGS. 2 7s. SWEET MEETING. Lord, 't is sweet to mingle where Christians meet for social prayer ; O, 't is sweet with them to raise Songs of holy joy and praise ; Sweeter far that state must be Where they meet eternally. Saviour, may these meetings prove Preparations from above ; While we M'orship in this place, May we go from grace to grace ; Till we, each in his degree, Kipe for endless glory be. S. M. MOKiaNO PRAYEK MEETING. 1 How sweet the melting lay. Which breaks upon the ear, When at the hour of rising day. Christians unite in prayer ! SOCIAL MEETINGS. 4, 2 May breezes waft our cries Up to Jehovah's throne ; O Saviour, listen to our sighs, And send thy blessing down ! 4 L. M. THE MEKCY SEAT. 1 From every stormy wind that blows, From every swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat — 'T is found beneath the mercy-seat. 2 There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads ; A place, of all on earth most sweet — It is the blood-bought mercy-seat. 3 There is a scene where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend ; Though sunder'd far — by faith they meet ^ Around one common mercy-seat. 4 There, there, on eagle-wings we soar, And sin and sense molest no more. And heaven comes down, our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy-seat. 23 5, HOLY SPIHIT. THE HOLY SPIRIT. "> S. M. O SPIRIT, DESCEND. 1 O Spirit of the Lord, Descend in might and power, And'thine Almighty aid afford — Let this be mercy's hour ! 2 O give us hearts to pray, And give us power in prayer! Low in the dust help us to lay, And keep our spirits there. 3 Breathe on the dead in sin, The wounded heart make whole ; And let thy power be felt within The depths of every soul. 4 Now let the heavens be rent, Thou God of love and power! Let quick'ning grace to all be sent ; Let this be mercy's hour. 2t HOLY SPIRIT. 6 C. M. HEAVENLY DOVE. 1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all thy quick'ning powers, Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours. 2 Look, how we grovel here below, Fond of these trifling toys ; Our souls can neither fly nor go, To reach eternal joys. 3 In vain we tune our formal songs. In vain we strive to rise ; Hosannas languish on our tongues. And our devotion dies. 4 Dear Lord ! and shall we ever live At this poor dying rate ? Our love so faint, so cold to thee ? And thine to us so great ? 5 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all thy quickening powers — Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love, And that shall kindle ours. 25 7. HOLY SPIRITo 7 S. M. PRAYER FOR THE SPIRIT. 1 Come, Holy Spirit, come ; Let thy bright beams arise ; Dispel the sorrow from our minds, The darkness from our eyes. 2 Convince us all of sin ; Then lead to Jesus' blood, And to our wondering view reveal The mercies of our God. 3 Revive our drooping faith ; Our doubts and fears remove, And kindle in our breasts the flame Of never-dying love. 4 By thy inspiring breath Make every cloud of care, And e'en the gloomy vale of death, A smile of glory wear. 5 Possess and rule our hearts ; Our minds from bondage free ; Then shall we know, and praise, and love, The Father, Son, and thee. 26 HOLY SPIRIT. 8 C. M. SPIRIT OP HOLINESS. 1 Spirit of holiness, descend, Thy people wait for thee ; Thine ear in kind compassion lend, Let us thy mercy see ! 2 Behold thy weary churches wait, With wishful, longing eyes — Let us no more lie desolate ; Oh, bid thy light arise.' 3 Thy light, that on our souls hath shone, Leads us in hope to thee ; Let us not feel its rays alone — Alone thy people be : 4 Oh, bring our dearest friends to God ; Remember those we love ; Fit them, on earth, for thine abode, Fit them for joys above. Spirit of holiness ! 't is thine To hear our feeble prayer ; Come, for we wait thy power divine, Let us thy mercy share. 27 9, 10. HOLY SPIRIT. 9 L. M. CELESTIAL BREEZE DESIRED. 1 At anchor laid, remote from home, Toilmg, I cry, •■' Sweet Spirit, come ! Celestial breeze, no longer stay, But swell my sails and speed my way ! 2 " Fain would I mount, fain would I glow, And loose ray cable from below. But I can only spread my sail ; Thou, Thou, must breathe th' auspicious -ale." THE SAVIOUR. 10 7s. LOVEST THOU ME ? 1 Hark, my soul ! it is the Lord ! 'T is thy Saviour, hear his word ; Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee : Trembling mourner, lov'st thou me ? 2 I delivered thee when bound, And when wounded, healed thy wound : Sought thee wandering, set thee right, Turned thy darkness into light. 28 THE SAVIOUR. 11. 3 Thou slialt see my glory soon, When the work of grace is done ; Partner of my throne shalt be ; Say, poor smner, lov'st thou me ? 4 Lord, it is my chief complaint Thrit my love is weak and faint ; Yet I love thee and adore ; for grace to love thee more ! 11 CM. THE NAME THAT CHARMS. 1 O FOR a thousand tongues to sing My great Redeemer's praise. The glories of my God and King, The triumphs of his grace ! 2 My gracious Master, and my God, Assist me to proclaim. To spread through all the earth abroad The honors of thy name. 3 Jesus ! the name that charms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease ; 'T is music in the sinner's ears, 'T is life, and health, and peace. 12. THE SAVIOUR. 4 He breaks the power of reigning sin, He sets the pris'ner free ; His blood can make the foulest clean ; His blood availed for me. 12 L. M. CHARMS OF JESUS. 1 The wondering world inquires to know Why I should love my Jesus so : " What are his charms," say they, " above The objects of a mortal love ? " 2 Yes, my beloved, to my sight, Shows a sweet mixture, red and white ; All human beauties, all divine. In my beloved meet and shine. 3 White is his soul, from blemish free ; Red with the blood he shed for me ; The fairest of ten thousand fairs, A sun among ten thousand stars. 4 All over glorious is my Lord, Must be beloved and yet adored ; His worth, if all the nations knew, Sure, the whole earth would love him too. 30 THE SAVIOUR. 13, 14. 13 L. M. DEAR REDEEMER ; DYING LAMB. 1 Thou dear Redeemer ! dying Lamb, We love to hear of thee ! No music 's hke thy charming name, Nor half so sweet to me. 2 When we appear in yonder cloud, With ail the favored throng ; Then will we sing more sweet, more loud, And Christ shall be our song. 3 When we've been there ten thousand years. Bright shining as the sun ; We 've no less days to sir^g God's praise. Than when w^e first began. 4 Reach down, O Lord, thine arm of grace, And cause me to ascend \^^lere congregations ne'er break up, And Sabbaths never end. 14 L. M. FORGET NOT CHRIST. 1 THOU, my soul, forget no more The Friend who all thy sorrows bore ; 31 ^. 15. THE SAVIOUR. Let every idol be forgot ; But, my soul, forget liim not ! 2 Renounce thy works and ways with grief, And fly to this divine relief; Kor him forget, who left his throne, And for thy life gave up his own. 3 Eternal truth and mercy shine In him, and he himself is thine ; And canst thou, then, with sin beset, Such charms, such matchless charms for- get? 4 0, no ; till life itself depart. His name shall cheer and warm my heart ; And, lisping this, from earth I' 11 rise. And join the chorus of the skies. 15 L. M. LOVING KIJJDNESS. 1 Aavake, my soul, in joyful lays, And sing thy great Redeemer's praise ; He justly claims a song from me, His loving-kindness, O how free ! His loving kindness, his loving kindness, His loving kindness, how free ! ! 32 THE SAVIOUR. 16. 2 He saw me ruined by the fall, Yet lov'd me notwithstanding all ; He saved me from my lost estate, Hii loving kindness, O liov/ great ! 3 Often I feel my sinful heart Prone from my Jesus to depart ; But tho' I have him oft forgot, His loving kindness changes not. 4 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale — Soon all my mortal powers must fail ! O may my last expiring breath His loving kindness sing in death ! 5 Then let me mount and soar away To the bright world of endless day ; And sing, with rapture and surprise, His loving kindness in the skies. 16 C. M. THE SON OF GOD IN TEARS. 1 Did Christ o'er sinners weep. And shall our cheeks be dry ? Let floods of penitential grief Burst forth from every eye. 3 33 17. THE SAVIOUE. 2 The Son of God in tears, The wondering angels see ; Be thou astonished, O my soul ; He shed those tears for thee. 3 He wept that we might weep ,• Each sin demands a tear: In heaven alone no sin is found, And there 's no weeping there. 17 8s & 6s. SUFFERINGS OF CIiraST. 1 The Son of Man they did betray ; He was condemned and led away ; Think, O my soul, on that dread day ; Look on mount Calvary — Behold him, lamb-like, led along, Surrounded by a wicked throng ; Accused by each lying tongue. And then the Lamb of God they hung Upon the shameful tree. 2 'T was thus the glorious sufferer stood, With hands and feet nailed to the wood ; From every wound a stream of blood Came flowing down amain. 34 THE SAVIOUR. 17. His bitter groans all nature shook ; And at his voice the rocks were broke, And sleeping saints their graves forsook. While spiteful Jews around him mocked And laughed at his pain. Now, hung between the earth and skies, Behold in agony he dies ! sinners, hear his mournful cries ; Come, see his torturing pain. The morning sun withdrew his light. Blushed and refused to view the sight ; The azure clothed in robes of night, All nature mourned and stood affright When Christ the Lord was slain. 'T is done ! the dreadful debt is paid ; The great atonement now is made ; Sinners, on him your guilt was laid ; For you he spilt his blood : — For you his tender soul did move, For 3^ou he left the courts above, That you the length and breadth might prove, And lieight and depth of perfect love, In Christ your smiling God. 35 18, 19. THE SAVIOUR. 18 lis. THOU SWEET GLIDING Ii;EDKO:N. 1 Thou sweet gliilin,2: Kcdron, by thy silver streams, Our Saviour at midnight, when moonlight's pale beams Shone bright on the waters, would frequently stra^^. And lose, in thy murmurs, the toils of the day. 2 How damp were the vapors that fell on his head ! How hard was his pillow — how humble his bed ! The angels, astonished, grew sad at the sight, And followed tlieir Master with solemn delight. 3 garden of Olives, thou dear, honored spot. The feme of thy wonders shall ne'er be forgot ; T^he theme most transporting to seraplis above ; The triumph of sorrow, the triumph of love ! 4 Come, saints, and adoi*e him ; come, boAV at his feet! O, give liim the glory, the praise that is meet ! Let joyful hosannas unceasing arise. And join the full chorus that gladdens the skies. 19 Hi CHRIST i::S THE GARDEN. 1 -AVhile nature was sinking in stillness to rest. The last beam of daylight shone dim in the west, In deep meditation I Avandered my feet. O'er fields by pale moonlight, in lonely retreat. 36 THE SAVIOUR. 20. 2 While passing a garden I paused to hear, A voice faint and plaintive, from one that was there ; The voice of the sufferer affected my heart. While pleading in anguish the poor sinner's part. 3 I listened a moment, then turned me to see What man of compassion this stranger might be I I saw liim, low, kneeling, upon the cold ground, The loveliest Being that ever was found. 4 So deep were his sorrows, so fervent his prayers. That down o'er his bosom rolled sweat, blood and tears ! I we])t to behold him ! — I asked him his name : He answered, "'Tis Jesus! from heaven I came! 5 " I am thy Eedeemer ! for thee I must die ; The cup is most bitter, but cannot pass by ! Thy sins, like a mountain, are laid upon me ; And all this deep anguish I suffer for thee." 20 C. M. CAN WE FORGET ? 1 Jesus ! thy love shall we forget; And never bring to mind The grace that paid our hopeless debt, And bade us pardon find ? 37 20. THE SAVIOUR. 2 Shall we thy life of grief forget, Thy fasting and thy prayer ; Thy locks with mountain vapors wet. To save us from despair ? •3 Gethsemane, can we forget Thy struggling agony — "When night lay dark on Olivet, And none to watch with thee ? 4 Can we the platted crown forget, The buffeting and shame ; When hell thy sinking soul beset. And earth reviled thy name ? 5 The nails, the spear, can we forget, The agonizing cry — " My God ! my Father ! wilt thou let Thy Son forsaken die ? " 6 Life's brightest joys we may forget — Our kindred cease to love ; But He, who paid our hopeless debt. Our constancy shall prove. 38 THE SAVIOUK. 21, 22. 21 lis. THE BITTER CUP. 1 "I AM tby REDEEMER — for thee I must die ; The cup is most bitter, but cannot pass by ; Thy sins, which are many, are hiid upon me, And all this sore anguish I suffer for thee ! " 2 I heard, with deep sorrow, the tale of his woe. While tears of repentance mine eyes did o'erflow ; The cause of his sorrows to hear him repeat. Pierced deeply my bosom — I fell at his feet. 3 In humble contrition I poured out my cry, " Lord, save a poor sinner ! save, or I die ! " He smiled, when he saw me, and said to me, "Live!" Thy sins, which were many, I freely forgive ! " 22 8s & 4s. CALVARY'S MOUNTAIN. 1 Jesus died on Calvary's Mountain, Lon(( time aGfo. And salvation's rolling fountain, Now freely flows. 2 Once his voice, in tones of pity. Melted in woe, And lie wept o'er Judali's city. Long time ago. 39 23. THE SAVIOUH. 3 On his head the dews of midnight o Fell, long ago ; Now a crown of dazzling sunlight Sits on his brow. 4 Jesus died, yet lives in heaven, No more to die ; Bleeding Jesus, blessed Saviour, Now reigns on high. 5 Now in heaven he 's interceding For dying man, Soon he '11 finish all his pleading, And come again. 6 When he comes, a voice from heaven Shall pierce the tomb, " Come, ye blessed of my Father, Children, come home." 23 H. M. THE BLEEDING SACRIFICE. I Arise, my soul, arise. Shake off thy guilty fears ; The bleeding Sacrifice In my behalf appears ; 40 THE SAVIOUK. 23. Before the throne my Surety stands, My name is written on his hands. 2 He ever lives above, For me to intercede. His all-redeeming love, His precious blood to plead ; His blood atoned for all our race. And sprinkles now the throne of grace. 3 Five bleeding wounds he bears, Receiv'd on Calvary ; They pour effectual prayers. They strongly speak for me ; Forgive him, O forgive, they cry, Nor let that ransoni'd sinner die ! 4 The Father hears him pray, His dear anointed One : He cannot turn away The presence of his Son : His Spirit answers to the blood, And tells me I am born of God. 5 My God is reconciled, His pard'ning voice I hears He owns me for his child, 41 24, 25. THE SAVIOUR. I can no longer fear ; With confidence I now draw nigh, And Father, Abba, Father, cry. 24 H. M. CHRIST OUR SUBSTITUTE. 1 Christ saw the sinner stand Exposed to endless wo, And Justice did command To strike the fatal blow. He stepped between us and our God, Heceived the blow and spilt His blood. 2 My soul adores that love — So boundless, yet so free — Which did his pity move To ransom worms like me. O, may my life to others tell That Jesus saved my soul from hell. 25 8s & 7s. CHRIST A FRIETTO. 1 One there is, above all others, Well deserves the name of Friend ; His is love beyond a brother's, 42 THE SAVIOUR. 26. Costly — free — and knows no end. Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have sJied his blood ? But this Saviour died to have us Reconciled in him to God. When he lived on earth abased, Friend of sinners was his name ; Now, above all glory raised, He rejoices in the same. O for grace our hearts to soften ! Teach us, Lord, at length to love ; We, alas ! forget too often What a Friend we have above. 2G c. M. FOITNTAIN OP BLOOD. 1 There is a fountain, filled with blood, Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stams. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain, in his day. And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away. 43 27 THE SAVIOUR. 3 Thou dying Lamb ! thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed church of God Are saved, to sin no more. 4 Since first, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Kedeerning love has been my theme, And shall be, till I die. And when this feeble, stammering tongue' Lies silent in the grave — Then, in a nobler, sweeter song, I '11 sing thy power to save. 27 c. M. THE BLEEDING SAVIOtTR. 1 Alas ! and did my Saviour bleed, And did my sovereign die ; Did he devote that sacred head For such a worm as I ? 2 Was it for crimes that I have done, He groaned upon the tree ? Amazing pity ! grace unknown, And love beyond degree ! 44 I 'I AWAIvEXIXG. 28 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face, While his dear cross appears ; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes to tears. 5 But floods of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe : Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'T is ail that I can do. AWAKENING. 28 7s. WHY WILL YE DIE ? 1 Sinners, turn — why will ye die? God, your Maker asks you why : God, who did your being give. Made you with himself to live. 45 29.

Crucify your Lord again ? "Why — ye ransomed sinners — why Will ye slight his grace, and die ? 4 Sinners, turn — why will ye die? God, the Spirit, asks you why : He who all your lives hath strove. Wooed you to embrace his love ; — 5 Will ye not his grace receive ? Will ye still refuse to live ? Oh! ye dying sinners, Avhy — Why will ye forever die ? 29 L. M. THE LAW AKD THE GOSPEL. 1 Go, you that rest upon the law, And toil and seek salvation there ; Look to tlie flame that Moses saw, And shrink, and tremble, and despair ; 46 AWAKENING. 30. 2 But I '11 retire beneath the cross ; Saviour, at thy clear feet I '11 lie, And the keen sword that justice draws, Flaming and red, shall pass me hj. 30 s. M. SLIGHTI^^G DIVINE LOVE. 1 AxD canst thou, sinner, slight The call of love divine ? Shall God with tenderness invite, And gain no thought of thine? 2 Wilt thou not cease to grieve The Spirit from thy breast, Till he thy wretched soul shall leave With all thy sins opprest ? 3 To-day, a pardoning God Will hear the suppliant pray ; To-day, a Saviour's cleansing blood Will wash thy guilt away. 4 But, grace so dearly bought, If yet thou wilt despise. Thy fearful doom, with vengeance fraught, Will fill thee with surprise. 47 31, 32. AWAKENING. 31 7s. HASTE, O SIXJ^'ER, 1 Hastk, O sinner ! — now be wisej^ Stay not for the morrow's sun ; Wisdom if you still despise, Harder is it to be won. 2 Haste — and mercy now implore ; Stay not for the morrow's sun, Lest thy season should be o'er, Ere this evening's stage be run. 3 Haste, O sinner ! — now return ; Stay not for the morrow's sun. Lest thy lamp should cease to burn. Ere salvation's work is done. 4 Haste, O sinner ! — now be blest ; Stay not for the morrow's sun, Lest j)erdition thee arrest, Ere the morrow is begun. 32 c. M. VAIN MAN, FOKBEAK. 1 Vain man, thy fond pursuits forbear, Repent — thy end is nigh ; Death at the furthest, can't be far, O think, before thou die ! 48 AWAKENING. 33. 2 Reflect — thou hast a soul to save ; Thy sins, how high they mount ! What are thy hopes beyond the grave ? How stands that dark account ? 3 Death enters, and there 's no defence, His time there 's none can tell ; He '11 in a moment call thee hence, To heaven, or down to hell. 4 Thy flesh, perhaps thy greatest care, Shall crawling worms consume ; But ah, destruction stops not there, Sin kills beyond the tomb. 33 7s & 5s. SAVIOUR'S •CALL. 1 Rouse ye, at the Saviour's call, Sinners, rouse ye, one and all ; AVake ! or soon your souls will fall, Fall in deep despair. Woe to him who turns away, Jesus kindly calls to-day ; Come, O sinner, while you may, Raise your soul in prayer. 4 49 34. AWAKENING. 2 Heard ye not the Saviour cry, " Turn, O turn, wliy will you die ! And in keenest agony, Mourn too late your doom ? " Haste, for time is rushing on ! Soon the fleeting hour is gone, The lifted arrow flies anon. To sink you in the tomb ! 3 By the bleeding Saviour's love. By the joys of heaven above, Let these words your spirits move ; Quick to Jesus fly ! Come, and save your souls from death, Haste ! escape Johovah's Avrath ! Fly ! for life 's a fleeting breath ! Soon, O soon you '11 die. 34 L. M. CHRIST KNOCKING. 1 Behold a stranger at the door ! He gently knocks — has knocked before ; Has waited long — is waiting still ; You treat no other friend so ill. 50 AWAKENING. 35. 2 O lovely attitude! — he stands With melting heart and loaded hands ; O matchless kindness 1 — and he shows This matchless kindness to his foes. 3 Kise — touched Avith gratitude divine, Turn out his enemy and thine, — That soul-destroying monster, sin, — And let the heavenly stranger in. 4 Admit him, ere his anger burn, — His feet departed, ne'er return ; Admit him, — or the hour 's at hand, You '11 at his door rejected stand. 85 8s & 7s. THE SAVIOUR PLEADING. 1 Now the Saviour stands a pleading At the sinner's bolted heart ; Now in heaven he 's interceding, Undertaking sinners' part. CHORUS. Sinners, can you hate this Saviour ? Will you thrust him from your arms ? Once he died for your behavior, Now he calls you to his charms. 51 3D. AWAKENING. 2 Sinners, hear your God and Saviour, Hear his gracious voice to-day, Turn from all your vain behavior ; O repent, return and pray. Sinners, can you hate, &c. 3 O be wise before you languish On the bed of dying strife ! Endless joy or endless anguish, Turns upon the events of life. Sinners, can you hate, &c. 4 Now he 's waiting to be gracious. Now he stands and looks on thee ; See what kindness, love and pity. Shine around on you and me. Sinners, can you hate, &c. 5 Open now your hearts before him, Bid the Saviour welcome in ; Now receive, and O, adore him. Take a full discharge from sin. Sinners, can you hate, &c. 52 AWAKENING. 36. 36 L. M. THE 8PIKIT STRIVING. 1 Say, sinner, hath a voice within Oft whispered to thy secret soul, Urged thee to leave the ways of sin. And yield thy heart to God's control ? 2 Hath sometliing met thee in the path Of worldliness and vanity, And pointed to the coming wrath. And warned thee from that wrath to flee? 3 Sinner, it was a heavenly voice — It was the Spirit's gracious call" — It bade thee make the better choice. And haste to seek in Christ thine all. 4 Spurn not the call to life and light ; Regard in time the warning kind ; That call thou mayest not always slight, And yet the gate of mercy find. 5 Sinner, perhaps this very day, Thy last accepted time may be ; O, should'st thou grieve him now away. Then hope may never beam on thee. 53 37, 38. AAVAKENING. 37 L. M. GRIEVE KOT THE SPIRIT. 1 O, SINNER, hear the heavenly voice ! O hear the Spirit's gracious call ! It bids thee make the better choice, And haste to seek in Christ thine all. 2 God's Spirit will not always strive With hardened, self-destroying man ; Ye who persist his love to grieve, May never hear his voice again. 3 Sinner, perhaps this very day Thy last accepted time may be ; 0, shouldst thou grieve him now away, Then hope may never beam on thee ! 38 S.

God speaks to thee : How shall I let thee go ? How shall I thy destruction see, And all thine anguish know ? 2 Sinner, how shall I give thee up ? I 've loved thee as a child ; Yet of thy sins, thou fill'st the cup, As if with passion wild. 3 Sinner, how shall I let thee go ? My heart doth yearn for thee. Yet thou dost love transgression so, Thou wilt not turn to me. 40. AWAKENING. 4 O sinner, stop ! pause in thy path, — Pause ! ere it be too late ; And now, while I hold back my wrath, Escape thy threat'ning fate. 5 But if thou wilt not, then I must Forever let thee go ; And that I am both kind and just, The univei'se shall know ! 40 8s & 6s. AWAKENED SIISTNER. 1 Aayaked by Sinai's awful sound, My soul in sin and thrall I found, Exposed to endless wo ; Eternal truth did loud proclaim, The sinner must be born again. Or down to ruin go. 2 Surprised indeed, I could not tell Which way to shun the gates of hell, To which I then drew near ! I strove, alas ! but all in vain ; The sinner must be born again. Still sounded in my ear. 56 AA\^AKENING. 4L 3 I to the law then ran for help, But still I felt the weight of guilt, And no relief I found ; While sin my burdened soul did pain, The sinner must be born again, Did loud as thunder sound. 4 But as my soul with dying breath, Lay gasping near eternal death, Christ Jesus I did see ; Free grace and pardon he proclaimed, I trust I then was born again, In gospel liberty. 5 Now with the saints I '11 join to tell How Jesus saved my soul from hell. To sing redeeming love : Ascribe the glory to the Lamb, The sinner now is born again, To dwell with Christ above. 41 7s & 6s. HOPE THKOUGH CHRIST. 1 How soon shall I be dying ! Time swiftly glides away ; 57 41. AWAKENING. But on my Lord relying, I hail the happy day — The day when I must enter Upon a world unknown ; My helpless soul I venture On Jesus Christ alone. 2 He once, a spotless victim. Upon mount Calvary bled ! Jehovah did afflict him. And bruise him in my stead. Hence all my hope arises. Unworthy as I am ; My soul most surely prizes The sin-atoning Lamb. 3 Then with the saints in glory The grateful song I '11 raise, And chant my blissful story, In high seraphic lays. Free grace, redeeming merit. And sanctifying love, Of Father, Son, and Spirit, Shall charm the courts above. 58 AWAKENING. 42. 42 7s. KEW TEAR. 1 While, with ceaseless course, the sun Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run, Never more to meet us here : Fixed in an eternal state, They have done with all below : "VVe a little longer wait, But how little none can know. 2 As the winged arrow flies, Speedily the mark to find ; I As the lightning from the skies II - Darts, and leaves no trace behind ; — 1 Swiftly thus our fleeting days Bear us down life's rapid stream : Upward, Lord, our spirits raise ; All below is but a dream. 3 Thanks for mercies past receive ; Pardon of our sins renew ; Teach us, henceforth, how to live, With eternity in view ; 59 43.

Enter into my joy, and sit down on ray throne." 44 7s & 6s. PLIGHT OP TIME. 1 Time is winging us away To our eternal home ; Life is but a winter's day — A journey to the tomb : Youth and vigor soon will flee, Blooming beauty lose its charms ; All that 's mortal soon shall be Enclosed in death's cold arms. 2 Time is winging us away To our eternal home ; Life is but a winter's day — A journey to the tomb : But the Christian shall enjoy Health and beauty, soon, above, Far beyond the world's alloy Secure in Jesus' love. 61 45, 46.

And bears our life away ; O, make thy servants truly wise, That they may live to-day. 3 Since on this fleeting hour Eternity is hung, Awake, by thine almighty power, The aged and the young. 46 C. M. IMPROVEMENT OF LIFE. 1 And is this life prolonged to me ? Are days and seasons given ? O let me then prepare to be A fitter heir of heaven ! 2 In vain these moments shall not pass. These golden hours be gone ; Lord, I accept thine offered grace, I bow before thy throne. 62 AWAKENING. 47. 3 Now cleanse my soul from every sin By my Redeemer's blood : Now let my flesh and soul beg The honors of my God. 47 L. M. TIME TO SERVE GOD. 1 Life Is the time to serve the Lord, The time to ensure the great reward ; And while the lamp holds out to burn, The vilest sinner may return. 2 Life is the hour that God hath given To 'scape from hell, and fly to heaven ; The day of grace, and mortals may Secure the blessings of the day. 3 Then what my thoughts design to do, My hands with all your might pursue ; Since no device nor work is found. Nor faith, nor hope, beneath the ground. 4 There are no acts of pardon passed ^ In the cold grave to which we haste ; B But darkness, death, and long despair Reign in eternal silence there. 63 48, 49.

And shall I waste my ebbing sand, And careless view departing day, And throw my inch of time away ? 2 But an eternity there is Of endless wo, or endless bliss ; And swift as time fulfils its- round. We to eternity are bound. 3 What countless millions of mankind Have left this fleeting world behind ! They're gone! but where? — ah, pause and see ! Gone to a long eternity. 4 Sinner ! canst thou forever dwell In all the fiery deeps of hell ? Has death no warning sound for thee ? O turn, and to the Saviour flee. 49 c. P. M.

Shall such a worthless worm as I, Who sometimes am afraid to die, Be found at thy right hand ? 2 'I love to meet thy people now, Before thy feet with them to bow, Though vilest of them all ; But — can I bear the piercing thought ? — What if my name should be left out, When thou for them shalt call ? 3 O Lord, prevent it by thy grace — Be thou my only hiding-place. In this the accepted day ; Thy pardoning voice, oh let me hear, To still my unbelieving fear, Nor let me fall, I pray, 4 Among thy saints let me be found, Whene'er the archangel's trump shall sound.

Though heaven and earth shall pass away. 53 S. M. WHERE IS KEST FOUND ? 1 O, WHERE shall rest be found, — Rest for the weary soul ? T were vain the ocean depths to sound, Or pierce to either pole. 2 The world can never give The bliss for which we sigh ! 'T is not the whole of life to live, Nor all of death to die. 3 Beyond this vale of tears There is a life above, Unmeasured by the flight of years, And all that life is love. 4 There is a death whose pang Outlasts the fleeting breath ; O what eternal horrors hang Around the second death ? 68 AWAKENINGo 54* 5 Lord God of truth and grace, Teach us that death to shun ; Lest we be driven from thy face, And evermore undone. 54 S.

Fear you not that iron rod With which he breaks his foes ? Can you stand in that dread day. Which his justice shall proclaim, When the earth shall melt away Like wax before the flame ? 2 The' your heart were made of steel, Your forehead lined with brass God at length will make you feel, He will not let you pass; 70 AWAKENING. 66.

THE PRODIGAL'S RETUKN. 1 Afflictions, tho' they seem severe, In mercy oft are sent. To stop the prodigal's career, And cause him to repent.

For whom I mourned as dead. 94 PENITENTIAL. 8L 6 Now let the fatted calf be slain, And spread the news around ; My son was dead, and lives again; Was lost, but now is found, I '11 die no more, &c. 7 'T is thus the Lord his love reveals, To call poor sinners home. More than a Father's love he feels, And welcomes all that come. I '11 die no more, &c. 81 L. M. THE SPIRIT ENTREATED. 1 Stay, thou insulted Spirit, stay, Though I have done thee such despite. Cast not a sinner quite away, Nor take thine everlasting flight. 2 Though I have most unfaithfuribeen Of all, whoe'er thy grace received, Ten thousand times thy goodness seen. Ten thousand times thy goodness grieved. 95 855 PENITENTIAL. 3 Yet, O, the chief of sinners spare, In honor of my great High Priest ; Nor in thy righteous anger swear, I shall not see thy people's rest. 4 If yet thou canst my sins forgive, E'en now, O Lord, relieve my woes ; Into thy rest of love receive. And bless me with thy calm repose. 82 L. M.

RETAINING JESUS. 1 LoED, I cannot let thee go, Till a blessing thou bestow. Do not turn away thy face, Mine 's an urgent, pressing case. 2 Dost thou ask me who I am ? Ah, my Lord, thou know'st my name ! Yet the question gives a plea, To support my suit with thee. 3 Thou didst once a wretch behold, In rebellion blindly bold. Scorn thy grace, thy power defy ; That poor rebel. Lord, was I. 4 Once a sinner near despair Sought thy mercy seat by prayer ; Mercy heard, and set him free ; Lord, that mercy came to me. 5 Many days have passed since then, Many changes I have seen, Yet have been upheld till now ; Who could hold me up but thou ? 98 PENITENTIAL. 85. 6 Thou hast helped in every need, This emboldens me to plead : After so much mercy past, Canst thou let me sink at last ? 7 No ; I must maintain my hold, 'T is thy goodness makes me bold ; I can no denial take, When I plead for Jesus' sake. 85 Vs. LOVER OF MY SOUI,. 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to thy bosom fly, "While the raging billows roll, While the tempest still is high : Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life be past ; Safe into the haven guide ; O, receive my soul at last. 2 Other refuge have I none, — Hangs my helpless soul on thee ; Leave, ah ! leave me not alone ; Still support and comfort me. 99 86.

COMIKG TO THE SAVIOUR. 1 Wretched and guilty as I am, Almighty God, I come to thee ; No other refuge can I find, No other hope my soul can see. 2 In vain I hide my deep distress ; In vain I seek the world's false smile ; i My heart is beating with its fears, And breaks with sorrow all the while. \ 3 I sought the pleasures of the world ; I sought the joys of wealth and fame ; But kept the cause of grief within, And found the aching heart the same. 4 Now, Saviour, Father, Mighty One, I come to thee — to tliee alone ; I cast my former hopes away ; O, let thy blood for me atone. 100 PENITENTIAL. 87, 88.

When the favor divine I first found in the blood of the Lamb ; 102 THE CONVERT. 90. When my heart it believed, What true joy I received, What a heaven in Jesus's name ! 3 'T was a heaven below, My Redeemer to know ; And the angels could do nothing more Than to fall at his feet, And the story repeat. And the lover of sinners adore. 4 Jesus all the day long, Was my joy and my song ; O that all his salvation might see ! He hath loved me, I cried. He hath suffered and died. To redeem such a rebel as me. 90 L. M. O, HAPPY DAY ! 1 HAPPY day that fixed my choice On thee, my Saviour and my God ! Well may this glowing heart rejoice. And tell its raptures all abroad.

The way the holy prophets went, The road that leads fi-om banishment; The King's highway of holiness I '11 go, for all his paths are peace. Happy day, &c. This is the way I long have sought, And mourned because I found it not ; My grief a burden long has been, Because I was not saved from sin. Happy day, &c. The more I strove against its power, I felt its weight and guilt the more ; Till late I heard my Saviour say, " Come hither, soul, I Asi the way." Happy day, &c. Lo ! glad I come, and thou blest Lamb, Shalt take me to thee, whose I am ; Nothing but sin have I to give. Nothing but love shall I receive. Happy day, &c. k 105 92.

Happy day, &c. 92 BLESSED UNION. 1 Attend, ye saints, and hear me tell The wonders of Immanuel, Who saved me from a burning hell. And brought my soul with him to dwell, And feel this blessed union. 2 When Jesus saw me from on liigh, Beheld my soul in ruin lie, He looked on me with pitying eye, And said to me as he passed by, " With God you have no union." 3 But when I hated all my sin, My dear Redeemer took me in, And with his blood he washed me clean And, oh ! what seasons I have seen, Since first I felt this union. 106 THE CONVERT. 93. I praised the Lord both night and day, And went from house to house to pray, And if I met one on the way, I found I 'd something still to say About this heavenly union. 93 L. M. PILGRIM'S FAREWELL. 1 Farewell, dear friends, I must be gone, I have no home or stay with you ; I '11 take my staff and travel on, Till I a better world do view.

Where troubles come no more. 2 Farewell, my friends, time rolls along, Nor waits for mortals' care or bliss ; I leave you here and travel on. Till I arrive where Jesus is. I '11 march, &c. 107 94.

THE GOOD PHYSICIAN. 1 How lost was my condition, Till Jesus made me whole ! There is but one Physician Can cure a sin-sick soul : Next door to death he found me And snatched me from the grave, To tell to all around me His wondrous power to save. 2 The worst of all diseases Is light, compared with sin : On every part it seizes. But rages most within ; 'T is palsy, plague, and fever, And madness, all combined ; And none but a believer The least relief can find. 3 From men great skill professing I thought a cure to gain ; But this proved more distressing, And added to my pain. Some said that nothing ailed me. Some gave me up for lost ; 111 97. THE CONVERT. Thus every refuge failed me, And all my hopes were crossed. 4 At length this great Physician, How matchless is his grace ! Accepted my petition, And undertook my case ; First gave me sight to view him, For sin my eyes had sealed ; Then bade me look unto him ; I looked, and I was healed. 5 A dying, risen Jesus, Seen by the eye of faith. At once from danger frees us. And saves the soul from death. Come, then, to this Physician, His help he '11 freely give, He makes no hard condition ; 'T is only — Look and live. 97 P. M. CONVERT'S TAREWELL. 1 Farewell, dear friends, I may not stay ; The home I seek is far away ; 112 THE CONVERT. 98. Where Christ is not, I cannot be — This land is not the land for me. This world is not my home, This world is not my home ; This world is all a wilderness This world is not my home. 2 I 've found the winding path of sin A rugged path to travel in ; Beyond the chilly waves I see The land my Saviour bought for me. This world, &c. 3 Praise be to God ! our hope on high ; The angels sing, and so will I ; Where seraphs bow and bend the knee, 0, that 's the land — the land for me. This world, tfcc. 98 8s & 7s.

Foes may hate, and friends disown me ; Show thy face, and all is bright. 2 Man may trouble and distress me ; "T will but drive me to thy breast ; Life with trials hard may press me ; Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. O, 't is not in grief to harm me, While thy love is left to me ! 0, 't were not in joy to charm me. Were that joy unmixed with thee ! 99 8s & 7s. PEARL OF SALVATION. 1 Glory to God, that I have found The pearl of my salvation ; We're marching thro' Immanuel's ground. Up to our heavenly station ; And I'm resolved to follow on.

M. REMEMBERING OUR CONVERSION. 1 Sweet was the time when first I felt The Saviour's pardoning blood Applied to cleanse my soul from guilt, And bring me home to God. 2 Soon as the morn the light revealed, His praises tuned my tongue ; And when the evening shades prevailed. His love was all my song. 3 In prayer my soul drew near the Lord ; And saw his glory shine ; And when I read his holy word, I called each promise mine. 115 k 101.

M. SOLDIER OF THE CROSS. 1 Am I a soldier of the cross, A follower of the Lamb? And shall I fear to own his cause, Or blush to speak his name ? 2 Must I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody seas ? 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the Hood ? Is this vile world a friend to grace. To help me on to God ? Sure I must fight, if I would reign ; Increase my courage. Lord ! I '11 bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by thy word. 103 C. M. NOT ASHAMED OF CHRIST. 1 I 'm not ashamed to own my Lord, Or to defend his cause ; 118 THE CONVERT. 104.

M. ASHAMED OF CHRIST. 1 Jesus ! and shall it ever be, A mortal man ashamed of thee ! Ashamed of thee, whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endless days ! 2 Ashamed of Jesus ! just as soon Let midnight be ashamed of noon ; 'T is midnight with my soul till he, Bright Morning Star, bid darkness flee. 3 Ashamed of Jesus ! that dear friend. On whom my hopes of heaven depend ! 119 105. THE CONVERT. No : when I blush — be this my shame, That I no more revere his name. 4 Ashamed of Jesus ! Yes, I may, When I've no guilt to wash away, No tear to wipe, no good to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save. 5 Till then — nor is my boasting vain. Till then I boast a Saviour slain ! And O may this my glory be, That Christ is not ashamed of me ! 105 C. M. AMAZING GRACE. 1 Amazing grace, — how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me ! I once was lost, but now am found ; Was blind, but now I see. 2 'T was grace that taught my heart to fear. And grace my fears relieved ; How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believed ! 120 THE CONVERT. 106. 3 The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures ; He will my shield and portion be, As long as life endure^. 4 Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail. And mortal life shall cease ; I shall possess, within the veil, A life of joy and peace. 106 c. M. DISDAINING SHAME. 1 Ashamed of Christ ! my soul disdain The mean, ungenerous thought ; Shall I disown that Friend, whose blood To man salvation brought ? 2 To bear his name — his cross to bear — The highest lionor this !
