O let me hear thy voice divine
Pronounce the glorious bleffing mine;
Enroll'd among thy happy poor,

My largest wishes ask no more.

The Invitation. Ifaiah Iv.

"Where living waters flow;
"VE thirsty fouls, approach the spring

Free to that facred fountain, all

Without a price may go.

2 "How long to ftreams of falfe delight Will ye in crouds repair?

How long your ftrength and fubftance wafte
On trifles light as air?

3 "My ftores afford thofe rich fupplies
That health and pleasure give;
Incline your ear, and come to me;
The foul that hears fhall live.

"With you a cov'nant I will make,
That ever fhall endure;

The hope which gladden'd David's heart
My mercy hath made fure.

"Behold he comes, your Leader comes,
With might and honour crown'd;
A witnefs who fhall fpread my name
To earth's remoteft bound.

6"See, nations haften to his call
From every distant shore ;

Iflands unknown fhall bow to him,
And Ifrael's God adore."

Hymn CCXCIX. Common Metre. [*]

The Gospel Feaft.

E wretched, hungry, ftarving poor,
Behold a royal feast!

Where mercy fpreads her bounteous store
For every humble guest.

2 See Jefus ftands with open arms,
He calls, he bids you come :
Guilt holds you back, and fear alarms,
But fee, there yet is room!
3 In Jefus' condescending heart
Both love and pity meet;
Nor will he bid the foul depart,
That trembles at his feet.

4 Come, then, and with his people taste
The bleffings of his love,
While hope attends the sweet repast
Of nobler joys above.

5 There, with united heart and voice,
Before th' eternal throne,

Ten thousand thoufand fouls rejoice,
In extafies unknown.

6 And yet ten thousand thousand more
Are welcome still to come;
Ye longing fouls, the grace adore,
Approach, there yet is room.

Hymn CCC. Common Metre. [* or b

True and Falfe Zeal.

.

ZEAL is that pure and heavenly flame
The fire of love supplies;

Whilft that which often bears the name,
Is felf but in difguife.

True zeal is merciful and mild,

Can pity and forbear;

The falfe is headstrong, fierce and wild, And breathes revenge and war.

3 While zeal for truth the Christian warms, He knows the worth of peace;

But felf contends for names and forms,
Its party to increase.

4 Zeal has attain'd its higheft aim,
Its end is fatisfy'd,

If finners love the Saviour's name,
Nor feeks it aught befide.

5 But felf, however well employ'd,
Has its own ends in view;
And fays, as boafting Jehu cry'd,
"Come, fee what I can do."

6 Self may its own reward obtain, And be applauded here;

7

But zeal the best applaufe will gain
When Jefus fhall appear.

This idol felf, O Lord, dethrone,
And from our hearts remove;
And let no zeal by us be shown
But that which springs from love.
