Shall teach the heavenly sound, And fill the wide creation With blessings all around.

P. M.

STILL for thee this friend is plead

ing,

Oh! how he loves.
And with God is interceding,
Oh! how he loves.

Hark! his groans, his tears, his
sighing,
Boundless love and mercy crying,
Tho' from him thou still art flying;

All thy sins shall be forgiven,

Oh! how he loves.

Oh! how he loves.

Backward shall thy foes be driven;
Oh! how he loves.

Best of blessings he 'll provide thee,
Nought but good shall e'er betide
thee,

Safe to glory he will guide thee;
Oh! how he loves.

3 Soon we shall behold his glory,
Oh! how he loves.
Cast our glittering crowns before
him,

Oh! how he loves,
Join among the countless number,
Roll along his praise like thunder,
And for ever gaze and wonder.
Oh! how he loves.

Shed, O shed, through Jesu's merit, Floods of sovereign, saving grace. Haste, my Lord, no more delay, Come, my Saviour, come away. 2 Groaning for the sad condition Of a vile degenerate race, We thy subjects now petition For the plenitude of grace. Haste, my Lord, no more delay, Come, my Saviour, come away. 3 Here we meet in hope believing, For a present, glorious shower, And we feel we 're now receiving, Joy and gladness, love and power. Haste, my Lord, no more delay, Come, my Saviour, come away.

4 Let thy power like lightning enter Every dark unhallowed breast, Pierce the gloom unto its centre, Then bring in the heavenly rest. Haste, my Lord, no more delay, Come, my Saviour, come away. JOHN STAMP.

With toiling and rowing, strength almost decay'd,

The promise still stands, so be not afraid.

5 Christ, then, is our pilot, our compass his word,

All storms we defy, while we sail with the Lord;

No foes need attack us, they cannot invade,

While the Lord says, 'I am here, come be not afraid.'

CHRISTIAN soldiers, now arise,
Join the fight, your captain
cries,

Gird on all your glitt'ring arms,
Trumpets sound their dread alarms.
Chorus.

Tread the power of Satan down, He that conquers wins a crown. 2 Hope 's your helmet, faith 's your shield,

Learn your heavenly arms to wield,
Christ, your captain, leads the way,
Quickly you shall win the day.

3 What, though earth and hell oppose,
Give no quarter to your foes:
Still the glorious war pursue,
Jesus conquered, so must you.

4

Fight your way to Canaan's shore,
Then your fightings will be o'er,
There you shall with Jesus meet,
And lay your armour at his feet.
Good Night.

5 This vessel was built and completed by grace,

Was fitted and stor'd for burthen and chase;

From her bow to her stern she 's strongly secured,

Her cargo is wealthy, and wisely insur'd.

6 The winds and the waves he still holds in his hand,

And likewise her foes are all at his command;

Near six thousand years she 's been cruising the main,

And mann'd with the ransomed she harbours again.

7 Our Captain we 'll praise, who took us on board,

In safety we are if we sail with the Lord;

Bound to the fair haven, our port we shall gain,

In spite of all dangers in crossing the main.

THOUGH millions have entered

the mansions of bliss,

And millions still hasten to that blessed home,

What truth more delightful and cheering than this!The Saviour invites you, ' and yet there is room.' Chorus.

Come to Jesus, come to Jesus; oh, come, sinners, come;

The church bids you welcome, and yet there is room.

2 What, though your arduous track may lie

Through regions dark as death! What, though, your faith and zeal to try,

Perils beset your path;

3 Yet with determined courage go, And, armed with power divine, Your God will needful aid bestow, And on your labours shine.

4 He who has called you to the war Will recompense your pains; Before Messiah's conquering car, Mountains shall sink to plains. 5 At his approach the hosts of hell From their strong holds driven; Dissolved is superstition's spell, Lo! Satan falls from heaven.

He left his Father's throne on high,
And laid his dazzling glory by,
To save a world condemned to die.
God is love, God is love.
In Bethlehem the Saviour 's born;
Let every nation bless the morn.
This precious gift the Father gave,
And Jesus came the world to save;
Redemption through his blood we
have.

3 He groaned upon the accursed tree To purchase life for you and me; When hung between the earth and skies,

'T is finished, our Immanuel cries, Then bows his sacred head, and dies. 4 He rose triumphant from the dead, And bruises now the serpent's head. With garments stained he mounted high

To God's right hand, no more to die, And now he pleads above the sky. 5 We soon shall see him face to face, And shout the triumphs of his grace; Yes, we shall join the blood-washed throng

To waft the pleasing theme along, While angels swell the glorious song. 6 Our tears will there be wiped away, In regions of eternal day; A palm of victory we shall bear, And in his kingdom have a share, And through eternity declare,

Press forward, press forward, the prize is in view,

1 HAIL the day, so long expected,
Hail the year of full release;
Zion's walls are now erected,
And the watchmen live in peace.
From the distant courts of Zion

The shrill trumpets loudly roar,
Babylon's fallen, fallen, fallen-
Babylon's fallen to rise no more.
2 Hark, and hear the people crying,
See the city disappear,
Trade and traffic all is dying,
Lo, they sink to rise no more;
Merchants who have bought her
traffic,

Crying, from a distant shore, Babylon's fallen, fallen, fallenBabylon's fallen to rise no more. 3 All her merchants cry with wonder, What is this that 's come to pass

Murmuring like some distant thun

der,

Crying, Oh! alas! alas! Swell the sounds,ye kings and nobles, Priests and people, rich and poor. Babylon 's fallen, fallen, fallen,

Babylon's fallen to rise no more. 4 Lo! her captains are returning, Up to Zion see them fly; While the heavenly host, rejoicing, Shout and echo through the sky.

5

See the ancients of the city
Terrified at the uproar;
Babylon 's fallen, fallen, fallen-
Babylon's fallen to rise no more.

Tune your harps, ye heavenly choir,
Shout, ye followers of the Lamb;
See the city all on fire,

Clap your hands and blow the
flame.

Now's the day of compensation,
Hope and mercy now is o'er;
Babylon 's fallen, fallen, fallen-
Babylon 's fallen to rise no more,
Repentance.
P. M.

WITH a sorrow for sin,

Let us repentance begin, Then conversion of course will draw nigh;

But till washed in the blood
Of a crucified God,

We shall never be ready to die.

And that we may succeed,
Let us run with all speed
To a Saviour who will not deny;
Let us tell him in brief,

That of sinners we 're chief,
But we long to be ready to die.

We've his word and his oath, And his blood seal'd them both, And we know the Almighty can't lie, That if we don't delay,

But believe, watch, and pray, He will soon make us ready to die.

When our race it is run,

When the battle is won,

We to mansions of glory shall fly; There eternally praise

The blest Ancient of days, For his love made us ready to die.
