4 Then to my enraptur'd ear

Let one sweet song be given;
Let JESUS cheer me last on earth,
And greet me first in heaven.

There'll be no more, &c.

5 Then close my sightless eyes,
And lay me down to rest,
And clasp my cold and icy hands
Upon my lifeless breast.

6

There'll be no more, &c.

When round my senseless clay

Assemble those I love,

Then sing of heav'n, delightful heav'n,

My glorious home above.

There'll be no more, &c.

EXHORTING SINNERS.

"He that hath not the Son of God hath not
life.' -1 John v. 12.

11's & 9's.

This life for a look at the crucitado;

HERE is life for a look at the crucified One!

Then look, sinner, look unto Him, and be sav'd,

Unto Him who was nail'd to the tree.

2 Oh! why was He there as the bearer of sin, If on JESUS thy sins were not laid?

Oh! why from His side flow'd the sin-cleansing blood,

If His dying thy debt has not paid?

3 It is not thy tears of repentance o▲ prayers, But the blood that atones for the soul; On Him then believe, and a pardon receive, For His blood now can make thee quite whole.

+ His anguish of soul on the cross hast thou seen,

His cry of distress hast thou heard?

Then why, if the terrors of wrath He endur'd, Should pardon to thee be deferr'd?

5 We are heal'd by His stripes;—would'st thou add to the word?

And He is our righteousness made; The best robe of heaven He bids thee put on, Oh! could'st thou be better array'd?

6 Then doubt not thy welcome, since GOD has declar'd

There remaineth no more to be done; That once in the end of the world He appear'd,

And completed the work He begun.

7 But take with rejoicing from JESUS at once The life everlasting He gives; [die, And know, with assurance, thou never canst Since JESUS thy righteousness lives.

8 There is life for a look at the crucified One! There is life at this moment for thee;

Then look, sinner, look unto Him and be sav'd,

And know thyself spotless as HE.

"Once to die, but after this the judgment."

Heb. ix. 27.

7's & 6's.

WE which God hath said He'll give,
E now are journeying to the place

To sing of CHRIST's redeeming grace,
And in His presence live :
We want as many with us
As we can get to come,
For in the realms of glory

For all the world there's room.

2 The vilest may find mercy,
Who do for mercy call,
Encouraged from Manasseh
And persecuting Saul:
They cried unto JEHOVAH,

He heard and took them in,
Their souls He did deliver,
And pardon'd all their sin

3 The swearer and the liar,

The drunkard and the thief,
Who long have wander'd from Him
In sin and unbelief:
Believing on the SAVIOUR,

They all may be forgiven,
On earth enjoy His favour,
And reign with Him in heaven.

4 But let me here remind you,
Delaying is a crime;

If you would have salvation,
The present is the time:

For life is so uncertain

A moment, and we're gone;
And if we die without Him,
Our souls will be undone.

5 For after death the judgment,
That great, and awful day,
When all things in creation
Will melt and pass away:
The righteous shall find favour,
They need not doubt or fear;
But where will the ungodly
And sinner then appear?

"Great peace have they which love Thy
law."-Ps. cxix. 165.

"TIS t want to grow?
Tell me, I pray, for I'm inclin'd-

IS solid peace I want to find,

Yes, I'm resolv'd to know.

2 I ask'd the miser, and he cried-
"The flower I cannot find;

I've gold in store, and land beside,
But I've no peace of mind."

3 I ask'd the man of pomp

and

And quickly he replied

power;

"I never found the peaceful flower,
Though often I have tried."

4 By chance there came a poor man by,
Whose looks were pale and wan;
I ask'd him, too; and "Sir," said I,
"Pray tell me, if you can?"

O.M.

5 "Kind sir," said he, "it does not grow
On nature's barren soil;

And they who seek it there, I know,
In vain they only toil.

6 The flower grows in IMMANUEL's plain,
Beyond your native land;

Then hasten to be born again,

And

peace is in your mind.

7 And on those high and flowery plains
You shall both feast and stay;
Where peace and love for ever reign
In one eternal day!"

"Be of good cheer."
John xvi. 33.

COME, all who would to glory go,

112th M.

And leave the world, and sin, and woe;

Forsake your sins without delay,

And you'll be sure to win the day.
Shall win the day, shall win the day,
To heaven you'll then go straight away.

2 Oh, do not tarry longer, where
You're sure to die in dark despair;
We show to you a better way,

In which you're sure to win the day.

Shall win the day, &c.

3 In glory now the SAVIOUR Waits,
And opens wide the pearly gates,
He stands and beckons you away;
Press on, and you shall win the day.

Shall win the day, &c.
