PART V.- SECOND SUPPLEMENT. 3' l'o suffer in the traitor's place, To die for man, surprising grace! Yet pass rebellious angels byO why for man, dear Saviour, why? 4 Can I survey this scene of woe,
Where mingling grief and wonder flow? And yet my heart unmoved remain, Insensible to love or pain?
o Come, dearest Lord, thy power impart, To warm this cold and stupid heart; Till all its powers and feelings move In melting grief and ardent love.

" And call the Sabbath the holy of the Lord, honourable."- Isa. lviil.13, I FAIN would love the day of rest, Would still esteem this day the best, But oft, alas! I've need to say, " How barren is my soul to day!"
2 True, I frequent the house of prayer; I go and sit with others there; I hear, and sing, and seem to pray, But oft my mind is call'd away.
8 I fain would see the Saviour near, Of him would think, and speak, and hear; But vain and sinful thoughts intrude, And draw my soul from all that's good. 4 Redeem'd from earth by Jesus' blood I fain would give the day to God; But, seldom to my purpose true, ' Tis mine to plan, but not to do.
5 Of sinners, Lord, I am the chief; O bring thy worthless worm relief! Revive thy work within my soul,
And all my thoughts and powers control.
