And sinners now may come to God,
And find salvation through his word,
And sail by faith upon that flood,
To endless day.

5 Thro' storms and calms by faith we steer, By feeble hopes and gloomy fears, 'Till we arrive at Canaan's shore, When sin and sorrows are no more, We shout our trials there all o'er, To endless day.

6 Then we shall in sweet chorus join, With saints and angels all combine, To sing of his redeeming love,

When rolling years shall cease to move, And this shall be our theme above, in endless day.

HYMN 110.

A word of comfort to the Lambs of Christ.

BLESS'D be my God that I was born
To hear the joyful sound;
That I was born to be baptiz'd,
Where gospel truths abound.

2 Bless'd be my God for what I see,
My God for what I hear;

I hear such blessed news from heav'n,
Not earth nor hell I fear.

3 I hear my Lord for me was born,
My Lord for me did die,

My Lord for me did rise again,
And did ascend on high.

4 On high he stands to plead my cause,

And will return again,

And set me on a glor'ous throne,

That I with him may reign.

5 Glory to God the Father be,
Glory to God the Son,
Glory to God the Holy Ghost,
Glory to God alone,

HYMN 111.

Soul thirstings from Heaven,

STILL out of the deepest abyss
Of trouble I mournfully cry;
And pine to recover my peace,
And see my Redeemer and die :
I cannot, I cannot forbear

These passionate longings for home;
O! when shall my spirit be there;
O! when will the messenger come.

Thy nature I long to put on,
Thine image on earth to regain ;
And then in the grave to lay down,
This burden of body and pain.
O! Jesus in pity draw near,

And lull me to sleep on thy breast,
Appear to my rescue, appear
And gather me into thy rest.

To take a poor fugitive in,
The arms of thy mercy display;
And give me to rest from all sin,
And bear me triumphant away;
L

Away from a world of distress,
Away to the mansions above;
A heaven of seeing thy face-
A heaven of feeling thy love,

HYMN 112.

A Parting Hymn.

LORD dismiss us with thy blessing,
Send it to us from above;
May we all go home a praising,
And rejoicing in thy love;
Farewell brethren farewell sisters,
'Till we all shall meet above.

2 Pardon Lord now all our follies,
While together we have been ;
Make us humble, make us holy,
Cleanse us all from ev'ry sin,
Farewell, brethren, farewell sisters,
'Till we all shall meet again.

3 May thy presence Lord go with us
To each ones respective home;
And the presence of our Jesus,
Rest upon us ev'ry one;

Farewell brethren, farewell sisters,
'Till we all shall meet at home.

HYMN 113,

Prayer answered by Crosses.

I ASK'D the Lord that I might grow,
In faith and love and ev'ry grace;
Might more of his salvation know,
And seek more earnestly his face.

'Twas he who taught me thus to pray, And he I trust has answer'd prayer; But it has been in such a way, As almost drove me to despair.

I hop'd that in some favor'd hour, At once he'd answer my request; And by his love constraining power, Subdue my sins and give me rest,

Instead of this he made me feel The hidden evils of my heart ; And let the angry powers of hell Assault my soul in every part.

Yea more, with his own hand he seem'd
Intent to aggravate my woe;
Cross'd all the fair design's I schem'd,
Blasted my gourds and laid me low.

Lord why is this, I trembling cry'd,
Wilt thou pursue thy worm to death?
'Tis in this way," the Lord reply'd,
I answer prayer for grace and faith.

These inward trials I employ,
From self and pride to set thee free
And break thy schemes of earthly joy,
That thou may'st seek thy all in me.

HYMN 114.

Difficulties in the way of duty surmounted. WHEN Abra'm's servan. to procure A wife for Isaac went,

He

le met Rebeckah-told his wishHer parents gave consent.

2 Yet for ten days they urged the man His journey to delay :

Hinder me not he quick reply'd,

Since God hath crown'd my way.

3 'Twas thus I cry'd, when Christ the Lord,
My soul to him did wed;
Hinder me not, nor friends nor foes,
Since God my way hath sped.

Stay, says the world, and taste a while
My every pleasant sweet :
Hinder me not, my soul replies,
Because the way is great.

5 Stay, Satan my old master cries,
Or force shall thee detain ;

Hinder me not, I will be gone,

My God has broke thy chain.

In all my Lord's appointed ways,
My journey I'll pursue:

Hinder me not, ye much lov'd saints,
For I must go with you.

7 Thro' floods and flames, if Jesus lead
I'll follow where he goes;
Hinder me not, shall be my cry,
Tho' earth and hell oppose.

Thro' duty and thro' trials too,
I" go at his command;
Hinder me not, for I am bound,
To my Immanuel's land.

9 And when my saviour calls me home,
Still this my cry shall be ;

Ilinder me not, come welcome death,
I'll gladly go with thee.
