Joyful at God's right hand appear,
A blessing to receive.

3 Shall I, amidst a ghastly band,
Dragg'd to the judgment seat,
Far on the left with horror stand,
My fearful doom to meet?

4 Ah! no ;-I still may turn and live,
For still his wrath delays;
He now vouchsafes a kind reprieve,
And offers me his grace.

5 I will accept his offers now:
From every sin depart;
Perform my oft-repeated vow,
And render him my heart,
6 I will improve what I receive,
The grace through Jesus given;
Sure, if with God on earth I live.
To live with God in heaven.

PENITENTIAL.

Bethlehem-p. 184.] HYMN 24. 7s, 6s, & 1 8.

AMB of God for sinners slain,

To thee I humbly pray;

Heal me of my grief and pain,

O take my sins away.
From this bondage, Lord, release;

No longer let me be opprest:
Jesus, Master, seal my peace,
And take me to thy breast!

2 Wilt thou cast a sinner out, Who humbly comes to thee?

No, my God, I cannot doubt
Thy mercy is for me:
Let me then obtain the grace,
And be of paradise possest:
Jesus, Master, seal my peace,
And take me to thy breast!
3 Worldly good I do not want:
Be that to others given:
Only for thy love I pant;

My all in earth or heaven;

This is the crown I fain would seize,
The good wherewith I would be blest:
Jesus, Master, seal my peace,

And take me to thy breast!

4 This delight I fain would prove,
And then resign my breath.
Join the happy few whose love
Was mightier than death!
Let it not my Lord displease,
That I would die to be thy guest!
Jesus, Master, seal my peace,
And take me to thy breast!

Parvus-p. 52.] HYMN 25. L. M.

THOU, whom once they flock'd to hear!
Thy words to hear, thy pow'r to feel:

Suffer the sinners to draw near,

And graciously receive us still.

2 They that be whole, thyself hast said,
No need of a physician have;
But I am sick, and want thine aid,

And wait thine utmost pow'r to save.
3 Thy pow'r and truth, and love divine,
The same from age to age endure:
A word, a gracious word of thine,
The most invet'rate plague can cure.

4 Helpless, howe'er, my spirit lies,
And long hath languish'd at the pool,
A word of thine shall make it rise,

And speak me in a moment whole.
5 Eighteen, or eight-and-thirty years,
Or thousands, are alike to thee:
Soon as thy loving grace appears,
My plague is gone; my heart is free.
6 Make this the acceptable hour!
Come, O my soul's Physician, thou!
Display thy sanctifying pow'r,

And show me thy salvation now.

New Sabbath-p. 78.] HYMN 26. L. M. Y sufferings all to thee are known,

M Tempted in every point like me?

Regard my grief, regard thy own;
Jesus, remember Calvary!

2 O call to mind thy earnest prayers!
Thy agony and sweat of blood!
Thy strong and bitter cries and tears!

Thy mortal groan, "My God! my God!"
3 For whom didst thou the cross endure?
Who nail'd thy body to the tree?
Did not thy death my life procure?
O let thy bowels answer me !

4 Art thou not touch'd with human wo?
Hath pity left the Son of Man?
Dost thou not all my sorrows know,
And claim a share in all my pain?

5 Have I not heard, have I not known,
That thou, the everlasting Lord,
Whom heaven and earth their Maker own,
Art always faithful to thy word?

6 Thou wilt not break a bruised reed,
Or quench the smallest spark of grace
Till through the soul thy power is spread,
Thy all victorious righteousness.

7 The day of small and feeble things,
I know thou never wilt despise;
I know, with healing in his wings,

The Sun of righteousness shall rise.
8 With labour faint, thou wilt not fail,
Or, wearied, give the sinner o'er,
Till in this earth thy judgments dwell,
And, born of God, I sin no more.

Devizes-p. 19.] HYMN 27. C. M.

OW sad our state by nature is!

H our sin how deep it stains!

And Satan binds our captive souls
Fast in his slavish chains.

2 But there's a voice of sovereign grace
Sounds from the sacred word:
Ho! ye despairing sinners, come,
And trust a faithful Lord.

3 My soul obeys the gracious call,
And runs to this relief;

I would believe thy promise, Lord!
O help my unbelief.

4 To the blest fountain of thy blood,
Incarnate God, I fly;

Here let me wash my spotted soul
From crimes of deepest dye.

5 A guilty, weak, and helpless worm,
Into thy arms I fall;

Be thou my strength and righteousness, My Jesus and my all.

Joyful at God's right hand appear,
A blessing to receive.

3 Shall I, amidst a ghastly band,
Dragg'd to the judgment seat,
Far on the left with horror stand,
My fearful doom to meet?

4 Ah! no;-I still may turn and live,
For still his wrath delays;
He now vouchsafes a kind reprieve,
And offers me his grace.

5 I will accept his offers now:
From every sin depart;
Perform my oft-repeated vow,
And render him my heart.
6 I will improve what I receive,
The grace through Jesus given;
Sure, if with God on earth I live.
To live with God in heaven.
