Will you seek the trembling mourners Tell them that he will be found; HEN thou my righteous Judge shall come Shall I among them stand? Shall such a worthless worm as I, 2 I love to meet among them now, 3 Prevent, prevent it by thy grace! Thy pard'ning voice O let me hear; To still each unbelieving fear; 4 Among thy saints let me be found, Whene'er th' Archangel's trump shall sound; To see thy smiling face: Then loud through all the crowd I'll sing, While heaven's resounding mansion's ring, With shouts of boundless grace. 14 15 S. M. ID Christ o'er sinners weep, P. M. LORY to God that I have found, We are marching through Immanuel's ground, And I'm resolv'd to follow on, And never to forsake him, B I'll always keep this narrow way, 2 Fear not, says Christ, ye little flock, You are built upon the surest rock, I'm always with my little flock, DThrough ARK and thorny is the desert Through which pilgrims make their way Yet beyond this vale of sorrow, Lie the fields of endless day: Fiends loud howling through the desert, And the fiery darts of satan Often bring their courage low. 2 O young soldiers, are you weary He will lead you to his throne; 30 their crowns, how bright they sparkle! Hail! ye happy, happy spirits, Death no more shall make you fear; Grief nor sorrow, pain nor anguish, Shall no more distress you there. 17 P. M. The Pure Testimony. HE pure testimony, pour'd forth in the THE Spirit, Cuts like a keen two-edged sword; And hypocrites now are most sorely tormented, Because they're condemn'd by the word. The pure testimony discovers the dross, While wicked professors make light of the cross; And Babylon trembles for fear of her loss. 2 Is not the time come for the church to be gather'd Into the one Spirit of God? Baptiz'd by one Spirit into the one body, They drink in one spirit which makes them all see They're one in Christ Jesus, wherever they be, The Jew and the Gentile, the bond and the free. 3 Then blow ye the trumpet in pure testimony, And let the world hear it again; O come ye from Babylon, Egypt and Sodom, For Christ shall direct you by his living word; 4 The great prince of darkness is must'ring his forces, To make you his pris'ners again, By flatt'ries, reproaches, and vile persecution, That you in his cause may remain: But shun his temptations, wherever they lay, And fear not his servants, whatever they say; The pure testimony will give you the day. 5 The world will not persecute those who are like them, But hold them the same as their own; The pure testimony cries up, separation, And calls you your lives to lay down. Come out from their spirit and practices too, The track of the Savior keep still in your view; The pure testimony will cut the way through. 6 The battle is coming between the two kingdoms, The armies will gather anon; The pure testimony and vile persecution Then wash all your robes in the blood of the And walk in the Spirit, as Jesus has done; 18 P. M. Precious Promises. OW firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Hafid for four faith in his excellent word |
