HYMNS.

Then let not a leaf of the tree,

Which, perhaps, some variety shows, Cause doubt, O believer, to thee, That' tis for thy healing it grows!

Enough- that wherever we look,

Our Father's compassion we trace; Assured in each page of His book Of the freeness and fulness of grace!

" One Lord, one faith, one baptism." EFH. iv. 5.

There is one Lord- all own it true­

There is one faith- so all believe--­There is one baptism- yet, but few This equal truth alike receive.

But not with judging thoughts severe, Would we this simple fact proclaim; Truth, may to all alike be dear;

Some we defend, but none we blame.

Say, can this baptism, in our view, That does such signal note require, Be other than that baptism true, Made with the Holy Ghost and fire?*

* Mat. iii. 11.
