THE GOODNESS OF GOD.

HYMN 31.

6-8's.

sinners, in the gospel glass, The Friend and Saviour of mankind! Not one of all the' apostate race

But may in him salvation find! His thoughts, and words, and actions prove, -His life and death,-that God is love!

" Come, weary souls, to Jesus come! Ye all may hide you in my breast; Believe, and I will give you rest. 4" Ah! do not of my goodness doubt; My saving grace for all is free; I will in nowise cast him out

That comes a sinner unto me; I can to none myself deny; Why, sinners, will ye perish, why?" HYMN 32. 6-8's.
