HYMN LVIII.

Calling to follow JESUS.

I.

OME, my FATHER'S Family,"
Ye ranfom'd of the LORD,
Come, ye Sinners, who with me
Are ev'ry where abhorr'd; +
Let us gladly trace his Steps,

Who fuffer'd Death among the Jews,
Whom the friendlefs Soul accepts,

Whom all befide refuse.

II.

JESUS, the defpis'd and mean,

Our Master let us own

He the Sacrifice for Sin,

The SAVIOUR He alone :
Let us take and bear his Crofs, §
Defpis'd Difciples let us be:
Mock'd and flighted, as he was
For you, my Friends, and me.

III.

None but JESUS will we fing,
None else will we adore:

He our Prophet, Prieft, and King,

Shall be for evermore :

None among the heav'nly Pow'rs,**

Nor one on Earth our Praife may claim,

None but JESUS call we ours,

None but the bleeding LAMB!

HE LORD of Sabbath let us praise,
In Concert with the Bleft,

Who Joyful in harmonious Lays,
Employ an endless Rest.

II.

Thus, LORD while we remember Thee,
We bleft and pious grow:
By Hymns of Praise we learn to be,
Triumphant here below.

III.

On this glad Day a brighter Scene
Of Glory was difplay'd

By GoD, th' eternal WORD, than when
This Univerfe was made.

IV.

APPY the Heart, where Graces reign,
Where Love infpires the Breaft?

Know.

II.

Knowledge, alas ! 'tis all in vain,
And all in vain our Fear:

Our ftubborn Sins will fight and reign,
If Love be abfent there.

'Tis Love that makes our chearful Feet
In fwift Obedience move,

The Devils know and tremble too
But Satan cannot love.

IV.

This is the Grace that lives and fings,
When Faith and Hope fhall ceate;
'Tis this fhall ftrike our joyful Strings
In the sweet Realms of Blifs.

ง.

When join'd to that harmonious Throng,
That fills the Choirs above,
Then fhall we tune our golden Harps*
And ev'ry Note beLovE.

HYMN LXII.

Life and Eternity.

I.

HEE we adore, Eternal Name; And humbly own to Thee, How feeble is our mortal Frame, What dying Worms we be !

11.

Our wafting Lives grow fhorter ftill,
As Months and Days increase!
And every beating Pulse we tell
Leaves but the Number lefs!
III.

The Year rolls round, and fteals away
The Breath that firft it gave;
Whate'er we do, where'er we be,
We're travelling to the Grave!
IV.

Dangers ftand thick thro' all the Ground,
To pufh us to the Tomb,
And fierce Difeafes wait around,
To hurry Mortals home!

V.

Great GOD! On what a flender Thread

Hang everlafting Things!

The eternal States of all the Dead

Upon Life's feeble Strings!

VI.

Infinite Joy, and endlefs Woe,
Attend on ev'ry Breath;

And yet how unconcern'd we go
Upon the Brink of Death!"

Waken

Tony Por's, why fleep ye so ?
Awake my doggia Soul:

M

Nothing hath half thy Work to do;
Yet bothing's half to dull.

II.

Go to the * Ants-for one poor Grain,
See how they tell and ftrive!
Yet we who have a Heav'n t' obtain,
How negligent we live !

III.

We, for whom GOD the Sex came down,
And labour'd for our Good,
How carciels to fecure that Crown
He purchas'd with his Blood?
IV.

LORD, thall we live to fluggish still,
And never act cur Parts?

Come, LORD, thy + gracious Word fulfil,
And warm our frozen Hearts!

V.

Give us with active Warmth to move,
With vig'rous Souls to rife,

With Hands of Faith and Wings of Love

To fly and take the Prize.
