3 Thou loving, all-atoning Lamb,
Thee-by Thy painful agony,

Thy bloody sweat, Thy grief and shame,
Thy cross, and passion on the tree,
Thy precious death and life-I pray,
Take all, take all my sins away!
4 O let me kiss Thy bleeding feet,

And bathe and wash them with my tears;
The story of Thy love repeat

In every drooping sinner's ears;
That all may hear the quickening sound,
If I, e'en I, have mercy found!
5 O let Thy love my heart constrain,
Thy love for every sinner free,
That every fallen soul of man

May taste the grace that found out me,
That all mankind, with me, may prove
Thy sovereign, everlasting love!

L

ET earth and heaven agree,
Angels and men be joined,

To celebrate with me

The Saviour of mankind;

To' adore the all-atoning Lamb,
And bless the sound of Jesu's Name.

Jesus, transporting sound!

The joy of earth and heaven;
No other help is found,

No other name is given,

By which we can salvation have ;

But Jesus came the world to save.

Jesus, harmonious Name!

It charms the hosts above;
They evermore proclaim

And wonder at His love;

"Tis all their happiness to gaze :
"Tis heaven to see our Jesu's face.

His Name the sinner hears,

And is from sin set free; "Tis music in his ears,

"Tis life and victory :

New songs do now his lips employ
And dances his glad heart for joy.
Stung by the scorpion sin,
My poor expiring soul
The balmy sound drinks in,

And is at once made whole :

See there, my Lord upon the tree!
I hear, I feel, He died for me.

O unexampled love!

O all-redeeming grace!

How swiftly didst Thou move

To save a fallen race!

What shall I do to make it known

What Thou for all mankind hast done?

O for a trumpet-voice,

On all the world to call!
To bid their hearts rejoice

In Him who died for all!

For all my Lord was crucified :
For all, for all my Saviour died!

LOV

OVERS of pleasure more than God,
For you He suffered pain;

Swearers, for you He spilt His blood:
And shall He bleed in vain ?

2 Misers, His life for you He paid;
Your basest crime He bore:
Drunkards, your sins on Him were laid,
That you might sin no more.

3 The God of Love, to earth He came,
That you might come to heaven;
Believe, believe in Jesu's name,
And all your sin's forgiven.

4 Believe in Him that died for thee;
And sure as He hath died,
Thy debt is paid, thy soul is free,
And thou art justified.

JES

ESUS, the Name high over all,
In hell, or earth, or sky;
Angels and men before it fall;
And devils fear and fly.

2 Jesus, the Name to sinners dear,
The Name to sinners given;
It scatters all their guilty fear:
And turns their hell to heaven.
3 Jesus the prisoner's fetters breaks,
And bruises Satan's head;

Power into strengthless souls it speaks,
And life into the dead.

4 O that the world might taste and see
The riches of His grace!

The arms of love which compass me,
Would all mankind embrace.

5 O that my Jesu's heavenly charms
Might every bosom move!

Fly, sinners, fly into those arms
Of everlasting Love.

6 Sinners, behold the Lamb of God,
On Him your spirits stay;
He bears the universal load,
He takes your sins away.

7 Happy, if with my latest breath
I may but gasp His Name;
Preach Him to all, and cry in death,
"Behold, behold the Lamb !"

YE neighbours, and friends of Jesus draw near

His love condescends, by titles so dear.

To call and invite you His triumphs to prove,
And freely delight you in Jesus's love.

2 The Shepherd who died His sheep to redeem, On every side are gathered to Him

The weary and burdened, the reprobate race; And wait to be pardoned through Jesus's grace. 3 The blind are restored through Jesus's name; They see their dear Lord, and follow the Lamb; The halt they are walking, and running their race; The dumb they are talking of Jesus's praise. 4 The deaf hear His voice, and comforting word, It bids them rejoice in Jesus their Lord, "Thy sins are forgiven, accepted thou art;" They listen, and heaven springs up in their heart. 5 The lepers from all their spots are made clean; The dead by His call are raised from their sin; In Jesu's compassion the sick find a cure; And gospel salvation is preached to the poor. 6 To us and to them is published the word : Then let us proclaim our life-giving Lord, Who now is reviving His work in our days, And mightily striving to save us by grace. 7 0 Jesus, ride on, till all are subdued ;

Thy mercy make known, and sprinkle Thy blood, Display Thy salvation, and teach the new song To every nation, and people, and tongue.

TIME AND ETERNITY.

THE GOSPEL CALL URGED.

L.M.

DWIGHT. 1800.

WHILE life prolongs its precious light,
Mercy is found, and peace is given;
But soon, ah! soon, approaching night
Shall blot out every hope of heaven.
2 While God invites, how blest the day!
How sweet the gospel's charming sound!

Come, sinners, haste, oh, haste away,
While yet a pardoning God is found.
3 Soon, borne on time's most rapid wing,
Shall death command you to the grave,
Before His bar your spirits bring,

And none be found to hear or save.
4 In that lone land of deep despair
No Sabbath's heavenly light shall rise,
No God regard your bitter prayer,
No Saviour call you to the skies.
5 Now God invites-how blest the day!
How sweet the gospel's charming sound!
Come, sinners, haste, oh, haste away,
While yet a pardoning God is found.

Ye know not what shall be on the morrow.-James iv. 14.

O-MORROW, Lord, is Thine,
Lodged in Thy sovereign hand;

And if its sun arise and shine,
It shines by Thy command.
2 The present moment flies,
And bears our life away;
O make Thy servants truly wise,
That they may live to-day.
Since on this winged hour
Eternity is hung,

Waken by Thine Almighty power

The aged and the young.

One thing demands our care;

O be it still pursued;

Lest, slighted once, the season fair

Should never be renewed.

To Jesus may we fly

Swift as the morning light,

Lest life's young golden beams should die
In sudden endless night.
