 The Hiding Place. 
 
 1 Hail, sov'reign Love, that iirst began 
 The scheme to rescue fallen man : 
 Hail, matchless, free, eternal grace, 
 That gave my soul a hiding place ! 
 
 2 Against the God that built the sky, 
 I fought, with hands uplifted high ; 
 Despis'd the mansions of his grace. 
 Too proud to seek a hiding place. 
 
 3 Enwrapt in dark Egyptian night, 
 And fond of darkness more than light, 
 Madly I ran the sinful race, 
 
 Secure without a hiding place! 
 
 4 But lo! th' eternal counsel ran, 
 Almighty love! arrest the man! 
 I felt the arrows of distress, 
 And found I had no hiding place. 
 
 5 Vindictive Justice stood in view, 
 To Sinai's fiery mount I flew ; 
 
 But Justice cry'd, with frowning face* 
 This mountain is no hiding place'

6 Conviction and Conversion, 
 
 6 But lo ! a heavenly voice I heard, 
 And mercy's angel soon appear'd ; 
 He led me on a pleasing pace, 
 
 To Jesus Christ, my hiding place. 
 
 7 Should seven-fold streams of vengeance roll 
 And shake this globe from pole to pole ; 
 No thunder bolts shall daunt my face, 
 
 For Jesus is my hiding place. 
 
 8 A few more rolling suns, at most, 
 Shall land me on fair Canaan's coast, 
 Where I shall sing the song of grace, 
 And see my glorious Hiding Place.

 Sinner. 
 
 1 Here, Lord, my soul convicted stands, 
 Of breaking all thy ten commands ; 
 And on me justly might'st thou pour 
 Thy wrath in one eternal shower. 
 
 2 But thanks to God, its loud alarms 
 Have warn'd me of approaching harms v : 
 And now, Lord, my wants \ see $ 
 Lost and undone, I come to thee. 
 
 3 I see, my fig-leaf righteousness 
 Can ne'er thy broken law redress : 
 Yet in thy gospel plan I see 
 There's hope of pardon e'en for me.-

 How Christ hath to thy law restor'd 
 Those, honours on th' atoning day, 
 Which guilty sinners took away.*

 The. aicakencd Sinner. 
 
 1 Wak'd by the gospel's powerful sound, 
 Iff soul in sin and thrall I found, 
 
 ExposM 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. 
 
 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 God's justice then I did behold. 
 And guilt lay heavy on my soul, 
 
 It was a dreadful load ; 
 This solemn truth did still remain, 
 The sinner must be born again, 
 
 Or feel the wrath of God. 
 
 5 I heard some tell how Christ did give 
 His life to let the sinner live : 
 
 But him I could not see : 
 
3 Conviction and Conversion. 
 
 I read my Bible — it was plain, 
 The sinner must be born again. 
 Or dwell in misery. 
 
 o 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. 
 
 7 Not angels in the world above, 
 
 Nor saints could glow with greater love, 
 Than what my soul enjoy'd ; 
 
 My soul di : mount on eagles' wings, 
 
 And glory, glory, I did sing 
 To Jesus, my dear Lord. 
 
 8 Now with the saints I'll join to tell 
 How Jesus sav'd 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.

 Hardness of Heart. 
 
 1 Oh, for a glance of heav'nly day 
 To take the stubborn stone away ; 
 And thaw, with beams of love divine, 
 This heart, this frozen heart of mine. 
 
 2 The rocks can rend, the earth can quake ; 
 The sea can roar, the mountains shake ; 
 Of feeling, all things show some sign, 
 But this unfeeling heart of mine.

 Dear Lord, an adamant would mell :

 And nothing move this heart of mine.

 And much to feel that Pow'r I need ; — 
 
 Come, Holy Spirit, and refine, 
 
 And move, and melt this heart of mine.

 Hard Heart of mine. 
 
 1 Hard heart of mine — that the LoriL 
 "Would this hard heart subdue! 
 O come- thou blest, life-giving word,, 
 And form my soul anew. 
 
 I I hear the heavenly pilgrims tell 
 Their sins are all forgiven, 
 And while on earth their bodies dwell, 
 Their souls enjoy a heaven. 
 
 5 "While I, poor wretch, in darkness stand 
 
 With guilt a heavy load ; 
 And every breath expos'd to land 
 Beyond the grace of God. 
 
 4 The Christians sing redeeming love. 
 
 And talk of joys divine. 
 And soon they say, in realms above, 
 In glory they shall shine. 
 
 5 But ah! 'tis all an unknown tongue, 
 
 I never knew that love ; 
 T cannot sing that heavenly WWg, 
 Nor tell of joys above;

 And taste his bleeding love ; 
 With all the heavenly pilgrims join. 
 While I the desert rove.

 The stony Heart. 
 
 1 Lord, hear a burden'd sinner mourn, 
 Who gladly would to thee return 5 
 Thy tender mercies O impart, 
 
 And take away this stony heart! 
 
 2 'Tis this hard heart, my gracious Lord, 
 Which scorns thy love and slights thy word e 
 Which tempts me from thee to depart ; 
 Lord, take away this stony heart! 
 
 3 'Tis this hard heart, whose bold reply 
 Gives all thy sacred truth the lie, 
 And would thy promises pervert ; 
 Lord, take away this stony heart! 
 
 4 'Tis this hard heart I feel within, 
 
 Which slights thy grace, ami cleaves to sin : 
 Sure 'tis of hell the counterpart ; 
 Lord, take away this stony heart 1 
 
 5 'Tis this hard heart, which day by day 
 Would shut my mouth, nor let me pray, 
 Yea, would from every duty start ; 
 Lord, take away this stony heart! 
 
 6 'Tis this hard heart, whose cursed snare,, 
 Tempts me to pride, or to despair : 
 
 O, in me, Lord, thy pow'r exert. 
 And take away this stonv heart.

 To subdue an heart of stone ; 
 And the moment grace is felt, 
 Then the hardest heart will melt. 
 
 £ When the Lord was crucify'd. 
 Two transgressors with him died ; 
 One with vile blasphemous tongue 
 ScofPd at Jesus as he hung. 
 
 i Thus he spent his wicked breath. 
 In the very jaws of death : 
 Perish'd, as too many do, 
 With a Saviour in their view.

 Saw the danger of his case ; 
 Faith receiv'd to own his Lord, 
 "Whom the scribes and priests abhorred

 When in glory thou shalt be ; 
 Soon with me, the Lord replies, 
 Thou shalt be in paradise.

 1 Brop, poor sinner, stop and think. 
 Before you farther go — 
 Will you sport upon the brink 
 
 Of everlasting wo ? 
 Hell beneath is gaping wide! 
 
 'Vengeance waits the dread command? 
 Soon to stop your sport and pride, 
 And sink you with the damn'd. 
 O be entreated now to stop ; 
 
 For, unless you warning take, 
 TSer you are aware you'll drop 
 Into the burning lake. 
 
 S Ghastly death will quickly come- 
 
 And drag you to the bar ; 
 
 Then to hear your awful doom, 
 
 Will fill you with despair: 
 All your sins will round you crowd. 
 
 Sins of bloody crimson die, 
 Back for vengeance crying loud, 
 And what can you reply ? 
 O be entreated, §c. 
 
 > Say, have you an arm like God, 
 That you his will oppose 1 
 Fear you not his iron rod, 
 
 With which he breaks his foes 7 
 Can you stand in that great day, 
 
 W T hen he judgment shall proclaim v 
 When the earth shall melt away. 
 Like wax before the flame ?

 And hide us from his face." 
 O be entreated, 0»c.

 That you may mercy know ; 
 Though his arm is lifted up,

 The Gospel Pool,

 Appointed for the poor, 
 From year to year, my helpless soul. 
 Has waited for a cure.

 The healing waters move, 
 And many round me, stepping in, 
 Their efficacy prove ! 
 
 3 But my complaints remain, 
 I feel the very same ; 
 
 As full of guilt, and fear, and pain. 
 As when at first I came. 
 
 4 O, would the Lord appear, 
 My maladies to heal! 
 
 He knows how long I've waited here. 
 And what distress I feel. 
 
 5 How often have I thought, 
 Why should I longer try ? 
 
 Surely the mercies I have sought. 
 Are not for such as I.

 1 Throughout our Saviour's life we trace 
 Nothing but shame and deep disgrace, 
 
 No period else was seen, 
 Till he the spotless victim fell, 
 Tasting in soul a painful hell, 
 
 Caus'd by the creature's sin. 
 
 2 On the cold ground methinks I see 
 My Jesus kneel and pray for me ; 
 
 For this I him adore ; 
 Seiz'd with a chilly sweat throughout, 
 Blood-drops did force their passage out, 
 
 Through ev'ry opening pore. 
 
 3 A crown of thorns his temples bore, 
 His back with lashes all was tore, 
 
 Till one the bones might see! 
 Mocking, they push'd him here and there, 
 Marking his way with blood and tears, 
 
 Press'd by the heavy tree. 
 
 4 Thus up the hill he heavy came, 
 
 Round him they mock'd and made their game? 
 
 At length his cross they rear : 
 And can you see the Son of God 
 Cry out beneath sin's heavy load, 
 
 AVithout one thankful tear ? 
 
 5 Thus bearing our iniquity. 
 
 He dies with anguish on the tree : 
 AVhat tongue his grief can tell :

 The shudd'ring rocks their heads recline, 
 The morning sun refus'd to shine,

 To quench our parching thirst : 
 Seraphs, advance your voices higher,

 Unawed by shame or fear ; 
 Till a new object struck my sight,

 In agonies and blood ; 
 Who fix'd his languid eyes on me, 
 As near his cross I stood.

 Can I forget that look ; 
 It seem'd to charge me with his death, 
 Though not a word he spoke. 
 
 4 My conscience felt, and own'd the guilt, 
 
 And plung'd me in despair ; 
 
 I saw my sins his blood had spilt, 
 
 And help'd to nail him there. 
 
 5 Alas! I knew not what I did, 
 
 But now my tears are vain ; 
 Where shall my trembling soul be hid ? 
 For I the Lord have slain. 
 
 6 A second look he gave, which said, 
 
 " I freely all forgive ; 
 This blood is for thy ransom paid ; 
 I'll die, that thou may'st live." 
 
 7 Thus, while his death my sin displays 
 
 In all its blackest hue ; 
 (Such is the mystery of grace) 
 It seals my pardon too.

 1 When with my mind devoutly pressed, 
 Dear Saviour, my revolving breast 
 
 Would past offences trace ; 
 Trembling, I make the black review, 
 Yet, pleas'd, behold, admiring too, 
 
 The power of changing grace. 
 
 2 This tongue with blasphemies defil'd, 
 These feet to erring paths beguil'd, 
 
 In heav'nly league agree : 
 Who would believe such lips could praise 
 Or think from dark and winding ways, 
 
 I e'er should turn to thee ? 
 
 3 These eyes that once abus'd the light, 
 Now lift to thee their wat'ry sight, 
 
 And weep a silent flood ; 
 These hands are rais'd in ceaseless prav'r 
 Oh, wash away the stains they wear. 
 
 In pure redeeming blood.

 The midnight oath, the festive strain, 
 
 \roimd the sinful board. 
 
Conviction and Conversion. 
 
 Now, deaf to all th' enchanting noise, 
 Avoid the throng, detest their joys, 
 And long to hear thy word. 
 
 Thus art thou serv'd in every part ;

 That drossy thing retine ; 
 That grace may nature's powers control, 
 And a new creature, body, soul, 
 
 Be ail and wholly thine.

 1 The new born child of gospel grace, 
 Like some fair tree when summer's nigh. 
 Beneath Immanuel's shilling face, 
 
 Lifts up his blooming branch on high. 
 
 2 No fear he feels, he sees no foes ; 
 No conflict yet his faith employs $ 
 Nor has he learnt to whom he owes 
 The strength and peace his soul enjoys. 
 
 3 But sin soon darts its cruel sting, 
 And comforts sink from day to day : 
 What seem'd his own, a self- fed spring, 
 Proves but a brook that glides away. 
 
 4 When Gideon arm'd his num'rous host, 
 The Lord soon made his numbers less : 
 And said — lest Israel vainly boast — 
 
 " My arm procur'd me this success." 
 
 5 Thus will he bring our spirits down, 
 And draw our ebbing comforts low, 
 That, sav'd by grace, but not our own, 
 We may not claim the praise we owe-

 To try both your state and your scheme ; 
 You cannot be right in the rest, 
 Unless you think rightly of him ; 
 As Jesus appears in your view, 
 As he is beloved or not ; 
 So God is disposed to you, 
 And mercy or wrath is your lot. 
 
 Some call him a Saviour in word, 
 But mix their own works with the plan ; 
 And hope he his help will afford, 
 When they have done all they that can : 
 If doings prove rather too light, 
 A little they own they may fail — 
 They purpose to make up full weight, 
 By casting his name in the scale.

 To think on your danger and your unconcern ; 
 I've heard of a Judgment where all must appear: 
 O there you'll stand trembling with tormenting fear 
 
 8 Your frolicks and pastime, in which you delight, 
 Will serve to torment you in that dreadful fright ; 
 You'll think on thesermons which you've heard in vain 
 When hope's gone forever of hearing again.

 Perhaps we'll not meet till the last trump shall sound ; 
 To meet you in glory I give you my hand, 
 
 The Saviour to praise in a pure social band.

 Let the gospel tidings run ; 
 
 Then in ceaseless praise we'll sing, 
 Hallelujah to our King. 
 
 HYMN 109. L. M. 
 
 Longing for a Latter-Day- Glory. 
 1 How many years has man been driven 
 Far off from happiness and heaven! 
 When wilt thou, gracious Lord, restore 
 Thy wandering church, to roam no more ? 
 
 3 Six thousand years are nearly past 
 Since Adam from thy sight was cast ; 
 And ever since, his fallen race, 
 From age to age are void of grace. 
 
 3 When will the happy trump proclaim 
 The judgment of the martyr'd Lamb t 
 When shall the captive troops be free, 
 And keep th' eternal jubilee ? 
 
 4 Hasten it, Lord ; in every land 
 
 Send thou thine angels, and command — 
 44 Go sound deliverance ; loudly blow 
 44 Salvation to the saints below!" 
 
 5 'Till then, we will not let thee rest, 
 Thou still shalt hear our strong request; 
 And this our daily prayer shall be, 
 Lord, sound the trump of jubilee.
