Longing for Heaven. o And reign with him above ; And from that flowing fountain Drink everlasting love ? When shall I be deliver'd From this vain world of sin, And with my blessed Jesus, Drink endless pleasures in ? 2 But now I am a soldier, - My Captain's gone before, He's given me my orders, And bid me not give o'er; If I continue faithful, A righteous crown he'll give, And all his valiant soldiers Eternal life shall have. 3 Through grace I am determin'd To conquer, though I die, And then away to Jesus, On wings of love, I'll fly. Farewell to sin and sorrow, I bid you all adieu ; And O my friends be faithful, And on your way pursue. 4 And if you meet with trouble And trials on your way, ■i Then cast your care on Jesus, And don't forget to prav. Gird on the heavenly armour Of faith, and hope, and love ; And when the combat's ended He'll carry you above. 3 O do not be discourag'd, For Jesus is your friend ; And if you want more knowledge, He'll not refuse to lend : Neither will he upbraid you, Tho' oft'ner you request ; He'll give you grace to conquer, And take you home to rest. 6 And when the last loud trumpet Shall rend the vaulted skies, And bid the entomb'a* milliofts From their cold beds "arise; Our ransom'd dust revived, Bright beauties shall put on, And soar to the blest mansioja Where our Redeemer's gone. f Our eyes shall then with rapture The Saviour's face behold ; Our feet no more diverted, Shall wnlk the street of gold ; Our ears shall hear with transport The hosts celestial sing ; Our tongues shall chant the glory Of our immortal King.

Many by thy grace are saved, - O wilt tho* vouchsafe thine aid. 2 For his crying; many chid him-, But he cry'd the louder still, Till his gracious Saviour bid him Come, and ask me what you will. ;3 Money was not what he wanted, Though by begging us'd to live ; But he ask'd, and Jesus granted Alms, which none but Christ could give;. i Lord, remove this grievous blindness, Turn my darkness into clay : Straight he saw, and drawn by kindness, Folio w'd Jesus in the way. 5 Now methinks I hear him praising, Publishing to all around ; Friends, is not my case amasing ?

The Converted Tbi i 1 TESUS Christ has power alone Qp To subdue an heart of stone, And the moment grace is felt, Then the hardest heart will melt. 2 When the Lord was crucify 'd, Two transgressors with him dy'd ; One with vile blasphemous tongue Scoff'd-at Jesus as he hung. .3 Thus he spent his wicked brcatkj In the very jaws of death ; Perish'd as too many do, With. f» Saviour in their view. 4 But the other touch'd with gr&ce, Saw the danger of his case ; Faith receiv'd to own his Lord, Whom the scribes and priests abhorr'ck 5 Lord, he pray'd, remember me, When in glory thou shalt be; Soon with me the Lord replies, Thou shalt be in paradise. 6 This was wond'rous grace indeed, Grace vouchsaf 'd in time of need ; Sinners trust in Jesus' name, You will find him still the same. 7 But beware of unbelief, Think upon the harden'd thief!

No sword or spear the stripling took, But chose a pebble from the brook. 2 'Twas Israel's God and King Who sent him to the right, Who gave him strength to sling, And skill to aim aright. Ye feeble saints your strength endure*. Because young David's God is your*. 3 Who order 'd Gideon forth, To storm th' invaders camp, With arms of little worth, A pitcher and a lamp ? The trumpet made his coming known. And all the host was overthrown. i Oh! I have seen the day, When with a single word, God helping me to sav, My trust is in the Lord ; My soul has quell'd a thousand foas, Fearless of all that could oppose. 5 But unbelief, self-will, Self-righteousness and pride, How often do they steal My weapon from my side ! Yet David's Lord and Gideon's friend WUJ help his servant to the end. so HYMN 16. P.M.

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, Ere you are aware you'll drop, Into the burning lake. 2 Ghastlv 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 dye, Back for vengeance crying loud, And what can you reply ? O be entreated, &c. 3 Say, have you an arm like God, That you his will oppose ! Fear you not his iron rod, With which he breaks his faes ? Can you stand in that great day, When he judgment shall proclaim^ When the earth shall melt away, Like wax before the flame ? O be entreated, &c. i Though your hearts are hard as steel, Your foreheads lin'd with brass ; God at length will make you feel, Ke will not let you pass ; 21 Sinners then in vain will call, (Though they now despise his grace," Rocks and mountains on us fall, And hide us from his face. O he entreated, &c. But as vet there is a hope, That you may mercy know ; Though his arm is lifted up, He still forbears the blow : It was for sinners Jesus dy'd, Sinners he invites to come ; None who come shall be deny'd, He says there yet is room.

HYMN 20. P. M, The Practice of Ancient Christians i ""VTEVER does truth more shine X^f With beams of heavenly light, Than when the bcriptur«s join To prove it plain and right ; 23 Than when each text doth each explain. And all unite to speak the same. '2 Thus Peter who obey'd What Jesus said, was wise, And proach'd as he was led, Repent, and be baptiz'd ; Thus Philip did t' the Eunuch say, If you believe in Christ you may. Cj Paul preach'd the word of grace, Whole households did believe,. And were baptiz'd to Christ, Whose gospd they'd receiv'd>; * Thus Christians were of ancient date^, As sacred hist'ry docs relate. 4 We see 'tis no new thing, To teach, and then baptize ; So Christians first began, Christ's ordinance to prize ; This makes us cheerfully obey, And go as they have led the way.

Flee to him, your only Saviour, In his mighty name confide; In the whole of your behaviour, Own him as your odIv guide. 2 Hear the bless'd Redeemer call you, Listen to his gracious voice ; Dread no ills that can befall you, While you make his ways your choice Jesus says, let each believer Be baptized in my name ; 24 He himself in Jordan's river Was immers'd beneath the stream 3 Plainly here his footsteps tracing. Follow him without delay; Gladly his command embracing, Lo ! your Captain leads the way. View the rite with understanding, Jesus' grave before you lies ; Be interr'd at his commanding, .After his example rise. HYMN 22. CM. To be Sung at the Lord's Supper. LORD, at thy table I behold The wonders of thy graee ; But most of all admire that 1 Should nnd a welcome place. 2 I, who was all defil'd with sin, A rebel to my God; I, who have crucify'd his Son And trampled on his blood. 3 What strange surprising grace is this, That such a soul has room ! My Saviour takes me by the hand, My Jesus bids me come. 4 Eat, O my friends, the Saviour cries, The feast was made for you ; For you I groan'd, and bled, and dy'd, And rose and triumph'd too. -5 With humble faith, and bleeding hearts, Lord, we accept thy love ; vTis a rich banquec we have had, What will it be above ? 6 Ye .-aints below, and hosts of he. Join ail your praising powers; No theme is like redeeming love, No Saviour is like oi'rs. 7 Had I ten thousand hearts, dear LoftL I'd give them all to thee ! Had I ten thousand tongues, they all Should join the harmony. HYMN 2:3. P. M. Christ Baptized in Jordan 1 IN Jordan's tide the Baptist stands, JL Immersing the repenting Jews ; The Son of God the rite demands, Nor dares the holy man refuse: Jesus descends beneath the wave, The emblem of his future grave. 2 Wonder, ye heavens ! the Saviour lies In deeps conceal'd from human view : Ye saints, beliold htm sink and rise, A ill example this ftvf ytm : The sacred record while you read, Calls you to imitate the deed. 3 But lo ! from yonder opening skies, What beams of dazzling glory spread ! Dove-like the Eternal Spirit flies, And lights ou the Redeemer's head ! Amaz'd they see the power divine Around the Saviour's temples shine. 1 But hark my soul, hark and adore !

" This is my well-beloved Son, ** I see (well pleas'd) what he hatli done-' B 26 5 Thus the eternal Father spoke, Who shakes creation with a ned ; Through parting skies the accents broken And bid us hear the Son of Ged : O hear the joyful word to-day, Hear all ye nations, and obey !

Was it from heaven, or was it of men ? We hear him declaring glad tidings of peace, Proclaiming a Jubilee, a year of release. •2 The law and the prophets eominu'd till John, Our Saviour hath told us when gospel begun ; And baice that, God's kingdom is preach'd, saith the Word, And all men press in who have faith in the Lord. 3 The first of the gospel, the dawn of the day, The voice of one crying, Prepare ye the way ; Bring forth your repentance, ye viperous breed* And think not to say ye are Abraham's seed. 4 A new dispensation to them he declares, And preaches repentance to Abraham's heirs? The children of Abraham's natural seed, Pound they had ho right hk baptisw to pha«l.\ 5 But when he perceived repentance was theirs, Then he gave 1>. ptism to Abraham's heirs; Those who bad been sealed to covenant things, We rind him baptizing, confessing their sins. 6 He tell? them their Saviour ; s already here, And while he's baptizing, our Lord doth app«ar For to be baptized ; John shrinks at the thing, And owns he has need to receive it from him. 7 Eut when he informed it was his request, Ke freely baptiz'd him as he did the rest ; And this institution was own'd from above, The Spirit of God was sent down like a dove. 8 And his sweet example is !e f t on record* Whoever steps in, they will find a reward ; '/hey 11 find peace of conscience and joy in the same, When they are baptized in Jesus' own name. 9 The Eunuch we find was in haste to receive His water baptism, when he did believe; He went on his way rejoictng in God, While these that rebel must be tasting his rod. 10 The friends of Cornelius who heard Peter . word, Believ'd and received the seal of the Lord ; The Holy Ghost fell, then their joys did arise, I And Peter comraahdsthattheyshouldbebaptiz'd.; 1 1 SkPauTsgreat conversion he found in the way, - The light whichshonc- round him exceeded the day; Then he was three days,neither drank nordideat, Yet he was baptized before he took meat. 1 2 We read where three thousand believ'd in a day. That they were baptized without a delay ; The house of the jailor believ'd in the night, And they were baptized be-fore it wag ligi • 30 ] 3 Forbear then to censure my being in haste, Or shew me an instance where it was the case, That primitive Christians deferred the thing ; 1 answer my conscience to Jesus my King. 14 I'll tell you how gospel appears unto me, And pray to kind Heaven that you all may see|r\ But thewiseand the prudent 'tis hid from their eyes, While the babes of the kingdom rejoice in the prize. 15 Some call it baptism and think it will stand, A few drops of water dropt from a man's hand, In th' face of the infant who's under the curse, But we find no Scripture which proves it to us. 16 For there's no being bury'd with Christ in this case, For Jordan or Enon was John's chosen place: Our Lord in a fountain, John did him baptize, And Christ's sweet example we honor and prize.

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 tke scale. 4 Some style him the pearl of great pri«s And say he's the fountain cf joys ; 33 ">. et feed upon folly and vice, And cleave to the world 2nd its toyb'i Like Judas, the Saviour they kis», And while the) salute him/betray ; All ! what will profession lilce this.

I felt the arrows of distress, And found I had no Hiding-place. 5 God's glorious 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 But lo ! a heavenly voice I heard, And mercy for my soul appear'd, Which led me on a pleasant pace, To Jesus Christ, my Hiding-place. *7 Should storms of seven-fold thunder roll, And shake the globe from pole to pole s No thunderbolt shall daunt my face, For Jesus is my Hiding-place. 8 On him our every sin was laid, He is for us a ransom made ; He now is full of truth and grace, And is the only Hiding-place. 65 *» A few n ■ years at most, Will land me sate on Canaan's coast, Where I ^hall sing the song of grace, Safe in my glorious Hiding-place.

And whilst among them here I stay, My prayer to Ged, both night and day, Forever shall be this : 1 5 That all the sons of men may hear The voice that bids them all beware Of these delusive charms. O may they walk in wisdom's ways, Till years, and months, and weeks, and da^rs, Lock them in death s cold arms. 16 Then some kind angel from above, Shall waft the soul on wings of love, Beyond th' ethereal blue; And there with saints and angels praise, And strike the golden wires, to raise The song that's ever new.

Would they not hear his voice ? 5 Be mine the comforts that reclaim The soul from Satan's power ; That make me blush for what I am, And hate my sins the more. 6 'Tis joy enough, my All in All, At thy dear feet to lie ; Thou wilt not let me lower fall, And none can higher fly.

Our Priest abides and pleads the cause Of those who have transgress 'd his htws. 237 I I other priests disclaim, Their laws and ofTerings to«, None but the bleeding Lamb The mighty work can do : He shall have all the praise, for he Hath lov'd, and dy'd, and lives for rae.
