HYMN 32.

SON

TURIN.

ON of God! thy bleffing grant,
Still fupply, my ev'ry want;
Tree of life thine influence shed,
With thy fap my spirit feed.

2 Tenderest branch, alas! am I,
Wither without thee and die;
Weak as helpless infancy,

O confirm my foul in thee.

3. Unfuftain'd by thee I fall;

Send the ftrength for which I call!
Weaker than a bruifed reed,
Help I ev'ry moment need.

4 All my hopes on thee depend,
Love me, fave me to the end;
Give me the continuing grace,
Take the everlafting praife..

Lamb of God for finners flain,

Saviour of offending man.

HYMN 34

YARMOUTH,

I OME ye that love the Lord,

COM

And let your joys be known Join in a fong with fweet accord, While ye furround the throne; The forrows of the mind,

Be banish'd from the place; Religion never was defign'd, To make our pleasures lefs.

2 Let those refufe to fing,

Who never knew our God;
But children of the heav'nly King
Will speak their joys abroad:
The men of grace have found,
Glory begun below;

Celestial fruits, on earthly ground,
From faith and hope may grow,

3 The hill of Zion yields,

A thousand facred fweets;
Before we reach the heav'nly fields,

Or walk the golden streets:
Then let our fongs abound,

And ev'ry tear be dry;

We're marching thro' Immanuel's ground
To fairer worlds on high,

[ocr errors][merged small][merged small]

Y foul repeat his praise,

MY

Whofe mercies are fo great;
Whofe anger is fo flow to rife,
So ready to abate,

High as the heav'ns are rais'd
Above the ground we tread;
So far the riches of his grace,

Our highest thoughts exceed. 2 The pity of the Lord,

To those that fear his name,
Is fuch as tender parents feel,
He knows our feeble frame:
Our days are as the grass,

Or like the morning flow'r :
If one fharp blaft fweep o'er the field,
It withers in an hour.

3 But thy compaffions, Lord,
To endless years endure;

And children's children ever find

4

Thy word of promise sure,

My foul, repeat his praise,
Whose mercies are fo great, &c.

HYMN 36.

NANTWICH.

GOD, how endless is thy love! Thy gifts are ev'ry ev'ning new ; And morning mercies from above, Gently diftill like early dew.

2 Thou spread'ft the curtain of the night,
Great guardian of our fleeping hours;
Thy fov'reign word reftores the light,
And quickens all our drowfy pow'rs.

3 We yield our pow'rs to thy command,
To thee we confecrate our days,
Perpetual bleffings from thine hand,
Demand perpetual fongs of praise,

OLY lamb, who thee receive,
Who in thee begin to live,
Day and night they cry to thee,
As thou art, fo let us be!
Fix, O fix each wav'ring mind,
To thy crois our spirit bind,
Earthly paffions far remove,
Perfect all our fouls in love,

2 Duft and afhes tho' we be,
Full of guilt and mifery;
Thine we are, thou fon of God!
Take the purchase of thy blood:
Boundless wifdom, pow'r divine,
Love unspeakable are thine;
Praife by all to thee be giv'n

Sons of earth and hofts of heav'n.

HYMN 38.

STRATHAM.

LEST-are the fouls that hear and know,

The gofpel's joyful found,

Peace fhall attend the path they go,
And light their fteps furround.

2 Their joy fhall bear their spirits up,
Thro' their redeemer's name :
His righteoufnefs exalts their hope,
Nor Satan dares condemn.

3 The Lord our glory and defence,
Strength and falvation gives;

Ifrael, thy King for ever reigns,
Thy God for ever lives.

HYMN 39.

CHRISTMAS.

IFT up your heads in joyful hope,

Salute the happy morn;

Each heav'nly pow'r,

Proclaims the glad hour,

Lo! Jefus the Saviour is born.

2 All glory be to God on high, To him all praise is due; The promise is feal'd,

The Saviour's reveal'd,

And proves that the record is true.

3 Let joy around like rivers flow.
Flow on, and still increase ;
Spread o'er the glad earth.
At Jefus his birth,

For heav'n and earth are at peace.

4 Now the good-will of heaven is fhewn, Tow'rds Adam's helpless race,

Meffiah is come,

To ranfom his own,

To fave them by infinite grace.

5 The let us join the heavens above, Where hymning Seraphs fing, Join all the glad pow'rs,

For their Lord is ours,

Our prophet, our Prieft, and our King.

HYMN 40.

No mufic like thy charming name,
Nor half fo fweet can be.
