TO RETURN TO GOD.

4 Come, and partake the gospel feast; Be saved from sin; in Jesus rest: O taste the goodness of your God, And eat his flesh, and drink his blood! 5 Ye vagrant souls, on you I call;

( O that my voice could reach you all!) Ye all may now be justified;

Ye all may live, for Christ hath died. 6 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!

7 His love is mighty to compel;

His conquering love consent to feel; Yield to his love's resistless power, And fight against your God no more. 8 See him set forth before your eyes, That precious, bleeding Sacrifice! His offer'd benefits embrace, And freely now be saved by grace. 9 This is the time; no more delay; This is the acceptable day; Come in, this moment, at his call, And live for him who died for all.

HYMN 3.

10's& 11's.

ALL that pass by, To Jesus draw near; He utters a cry, Ye sinners, give ear! From hell to retrieve you, He spreads out his hands;

Now, now to receive you, He graciously stands. 2 If any man thirst, And happy would be,

The vilest and worst May come unto me; May drink of my Spirit, Excepted is none, Lay claim to my merit, And take for his own.
