THE PLEASANTNESS OF RELIGION

HYMN 11.

L. M.

GOD,

the offended God Most High, Ambassadors to rebels sends; His messengers his place supply, And Jesus begs us to be friends.

2 Us, in the stead of Christ, they pray, Us, in the stead of God, entreat, To cast our arms, our sins, away, And find forgiveness at his feet.

3 Our God in Christ! thine embassy, And proffer'd mercy, we embrace; And gladly reconciled to thee,

Thy condescending mercy praise.

4 Poor debtors, by our Lord's request, A full acquittance we receive! And criminals, with pardon blest, We, at our Judge's instance, live!

SECTION II.

1. DESCRIBING THE PLEASANTNESS OF RELIGION.

HYMN 12.

D. S. M.

1

COME, ye that love the Lord,

And let your joys be known; Join in a song with sweet accord, While ye surround his throne: Let those refuse to sing,

Who never knew our God; But servants of the Heavenly King May speak their joys abroad.
