6 Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb,
Your loosen'd tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Saviour come,
And leap, ye lame, for joy.

SECOND PART.

1 LOOK unto Him, ye nations; own
Your God, ye fallen race;

Look, and be sav'd through faith alone;
Be justified by grace.

2 See all your sins on Jesus laid:
The Lamb of God was slain :
His soul was once an offering made
For every soul of man.

3 Awake from guilty nature's sleep,
And Christ shall give you light;
Cast all your sins into the deep,
And wash the Æthiop white.

4 With me, your chief, ye then shall know,
Shall feel your sins forgiven;
Anticipate your heaven below,
And own that love is heaven.

Calvary.] HYMN 2. P. M.

1 OME, ye sinners, poor and needy, Weak and wounded, sick and sore,

Jesus ready stands to save you,

Full of pity, love, and power;

He is able,

He is willing, doubt no more.
2 Now, ye needy, come and welcome,
God's free bounty glorify;

True belief and true repentance,
Every grace that brings you nigh.

Without money

Come to Jesus Christ and buy.

3 Let not conscience make you linger;
Nor of fitness fondly dream:
All the fitness he requireth
Is to feel your need of him;
This he gives you,

'Tis the Spirit's glimm'ring beam. 4 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden, Bruis'd and mangled by the fall, If you tarry till you're better, You will never come at all, Not the righteous,

Sinners Jesus came to call.

5 Agonizing in the garden,

Lo! your Maker prostrate lies!
On the bloody tree behold him!
Hear him cry before he dies,
"It is finished!"

Sinners, will not this suffice?
6 Lo! th' incarnate God ascending,
Pleads the merit of his blood;
Venture on him, venture freely;
Let no other trust intrude :
None but Jesus

Can do helpless sinners good.

7 Saints and angels join'd in concert,
Sing the praises of the Lamb,
While the blissful seats of heaven
Sweetly echo with his name:
Hallelujah!

I

Sinners here may do the same.

Burslem.] HYMN 3. L. M.

C

OME, sinners, to the Gospel feast.
Let every soul be Jesu's guest!
Ye need not one be left behind,
For God hath bidden all mankind.

2 Sent by my Lord, on you I call!
The invitation is to all:

Come, all the world! come, sinner, thou !
All things in Christ are ready now.

3 Come, all ye souls by sin oppress'd,
Ye restless wand'rers after rest;

Ye poor, and maim'd, and halt, and blind.
In Christ a hearty welcome find.

4 My message as from God receive
Ye all may come to Christ and live;
O let his love your hearts constrain,
Nor suffer him to die in vain!

5 His love is mighty to compel ;
His conqu'ring love consent to feel:
Yield to his love's resistles power,
And fight against your God no more.
See him set forth before your eyes,
That precious bleeding sacrifice!
His offer'd benefits embrace,

And freely now be sav'd by grace! 7 This is the time, no more delay! This is the acceptable day;

1

Come in this moment at his call,
And live for him who died for all.

Dudley.] HYMN 4. 8 lines 7's.

SINNERS, turn, why will ye die?

God, your Maker, asks you why?
God, who did your being give,
Made you with himself to live;
He the fatal cause demands,
Asks the work of his own hands,
Why, ye thankless creatures, why
Will ye cross his love, and die?

[ocr errors]

2 Sinners, turn, why will ye die?
God, your Saviour, asks you why?
God, who did your souls retrieve,
Died himself that ye might live.
Will you let him die in vain ?
Crucify your Lord again?
Why, ye ransom'd sinners, why
Will ye slight his grace, and die ?
3 Sinners, turn, why will ye die?
God, the Spirit, asks you why?
He who all your lives hath strove,
Woo'd you to embrace his love;
Will ye not his grace receive?
Will ye still refuse to live?
Why, you long-sought sinners, why
Will you grieve your God, and die?
4 Dead already, dead within,
Spiritu❜lly dead in sin:

Dead to God, while here you breathe:
Pant you after second death?

Will you still in sin remain,
Greedy of eternal pain?
O, ye dying sinners, why,
Why will ye for ever die?

Eaton.] HYMN 5. L. M.

FIRST PART.

INNERS, obey the Gospel word!
Haste to the supper of my Lord;
Be wise to know your gracious day;
All things are ready, come away!

2 Ready the Father is to own,
And kiss his late returning son;
Ready your loving Saviour stands,
And spreads for you his bleeding hands.

3 Ready the Spirit of his love, Just now the stony to remove; To apply, and witness with the blood, And wash, and seal the sons of God. 4 Ready for you the angels wait, To triumph in your blest estate : Tuning their harps they long to praise The wonders of redeeming grace. 5 The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Are ready with their shining host: All heaven is ready to resound, "The dead's alive! the lost is found!"

SECOND PART.

1 COME then, ye sinners, to your Lord, In Christ to Paradise restor❜d: His profer'd benefits embrace, The plenitude of Gospel grace. 2 A pardon written with his blood, The favour and the peace of God; The seeing eye, the feeling sense, The mystic joys of penitence. 3 The godly fear, the pleasing smart, The meltings of a broken heart! The tears that tell your sins forgiven; The sighs that waft your souls to heaven. 4 The guiltless shame, the sweet distress, The unutterable tenderness;

The genuine, meek humility;

The wonder," Why such love to me!" 5 Th' o'erwhelming power of saving grace, The sight that veils the seraph's face; The speechless awe that dares not move, And all the silent heaven of love.
