PREFACE.
1. For many years I have been importuned to publish such a hymn- book as might be generally used in all our congregations throughout Great Britain and Ireland. I have hitherto withstood the importunity, as I believed such a publication was needless, considering the various hymn- books which my brother and I have published within these forty years last past; so that it may be doubted whether any religious community in the world has a greater variety of them.
2. But it has been answered," Such a publication is highly needful upon this very account; for the greater part of the people, being poor, are not able to purchase so many books: and those that have purchased them are, as it were, bewildered in the immense variety. A proper collection of hymns for general use, carefully made out of all these books, is therefore still wanting; and one comprised in so moderate a compass, as to be neither cumbersome nor expensive."
3. It has been replied," You have such a collection already,( entitled' Hymns and Spiritual Songs,') which I extracted several years ago from a variety of hymn- books." But it is objected," This is in the other extreme: it is far too small. It does not, it cannot, in so narrow a compass, contain variety enough; not so much as we want, among whom singing makes so considerable a part of the public service. What we want is, a collection not too large, that it may be cheap and portable; nor too small, that it may contain a sufficient variety for all ordinary occasions."
4. Such a Hymn- book you have now before you. It is not so large as to be either cumbersome, or expensive; and it is large enough to contain such a variety of hymns as will not soon be worn threadbare. It is large enough to contain all the important truths of our most holy religion, whether speculative or practical; yea, to illustrate them all, and to prove them both by Scripture A 2

PREFACE.
and reason: and this is done in a regular order. The hymns are not carelessly jumbled together, but carefully ranged under proper heads, according to the experience of real Christians. So that this book is, in effect, a little body of experimental and practical divinity.
5. As but a small part of these hymns is of my own composing,* I do not think it inconsistent with modesty to declare, that I am persuaded no such hymn- book as this has yet been published in the English language. In what other publication of the kind have you so distinct and full an account of scriptural Christianity? such a declaration of the heights and depths of religion, speculative and practical? so strong cautions against the most plausible errors; particularly those that are now most prevalent? and so clear directions for making your calling and election sure; for perfecting holiness in the fear of God?
6. May I be permitted to add a few words with regard to the poetry? Then I will speak to those who are judges thereof, with all freedom and unreserve. To these I may say, without offence, 1. In these hymns there is no doggerel; no botches; nothing put in to patch up the rhyme; no feeble expletives. 2. Here is nothing turgid or bombast, on the one hand, or low and creeping, on the other. 3. Here are no cant expressions; no words without meaning. Those who impute this to us know not what they say. We talk common sense, both in prose and verse, and use no word but in a fixed and determinate sense. 4. Here are, allow me to say, both the purity, the strength, and the elegance of the English language; and, at the same time, the utmost simplicity and plainness, suited to every capacity. Lastly, I desire men of taste to judge,( these are the only competent judges,) whether there be not in some of the following hymns the true spirit of poetry, such as cannot be acquired by art and labour, but must be the gift * The greater part was composed by the Rev. Charles Wesley.

PREFACE.
of nature. By labour a man may become a tolerable imitator of Spenser, Shakspeare, or Milton; and may heap together pretty compound epithets, as paie- eyed, meek- eyed, and the like; but unless he be born a poet, he will never attain the genuine spirit of poetry.
7. And here I beg leave to mention a thought which has been long upon my mind, and which I should long ago have inserted in the public papers, had I not been unwilling to stir up a nest of hornets. Many gentlemen have done my brother and me( though without naming us) the honour to reprint many of our hymns. Now they are perfectly welcome so to do, provided they print them just as they are. But I desire they would not attempt to mend them; for they really are not able. None of them is able to mend either the sense or the verse. Therefore, I must beg of them one of these two favours: either to let them stand just as they are, to take them for better for worse; or to add the true reading in the margin, or at the bottom of the page; that we may no longer be accountable either for the nonsense or for the doggerel of other men.
8. But to return. That which is of Infinitely more moment than the spirit of poetry, is the spirit of piety. And I trust all persons of real judgment will find this breathing through the whole Collection. It is in this view chiefly, that I would recommend it to every truly pious reader, as a means of raising or quickening the spirit of devotion; of confirming his faith; of enlivening his hope; and of kindling and increasing his love to God and man. When Poetry thus keeps its place, as the handmaid of Piety, it shall attain, not a poor perishable wreath, but a crown that fadeth not away.

SECTION I.
EXHORTING SINNERS TO RETURN TO GOD.
HYMN 1.
C. M.
10
My great Redeemer's praise! The glories of my God and King, The triumphs of his grace!
2 My gracious Master, and my God, Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad The honours of thy Name.
3 Jesus! the Name that charms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease; " Tis music in the sinner's ears, " Tis life, and health, and peace.
4 He breaks the power of cancell'd sin, He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood avail'd for me.
5 He speaks,-and, listening to his voice, New life the dead receive; The mournful, broken hearts rejoice; The humble poor believe.

EXHORTING SINNERS
6 Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb, Your loosen'd tongues employ; Ye blind, behold your Saviour come, And leap, ye lame, for joy.
7 Look unto him, ye nations; own Your God, ye fallen race; Look, and be saved through faith alone, Be justified by grace.
1
8 See all your sins on Jesus laid: The Lamb of God was slain: His soul was once an offering made For every soul of man.
9 Awake from guilty nature's sleep, And Christ shall give you light, Cast all your sins into the deep, And wash the Ethiop white.
10 With me, your chief, ye then shall know, Shall feel, your sins forgiven;
Anticipate your heaven below, And own that love is heaven.
HYMN 2.
L. M.
COME, sinners, to the gospel feast; Let every be Ye need not one be left behind, For God hath bidden all mankind.
2 Sent by my Lord, on you I call; The invitation is to ALL:
Come, all the world; come, sinner, thou; All things in Christ are ready now.
3 Come, all ye souls by sin opprest, Ye restless wanderers after rest,
Ye poor, and maim'd, and halt, and blind, In Christ a hearty welcome find.

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.
9
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.

EXHORTING SINNERS
3 Whoever receives The life- giving word, In Jesus believes, His God and his Lord; In him a pure river Of life shall arise; Shall, in the believer, Spring up to the skies.
4 My God and my Lord! Thy call I obey; My soul on thy word Of promise I stay: Thy kind invitation I gladly embrace, Athirst for salvation, Salvation by grace.
5 0 hasten the hour, Send down from above The Spirit of power, Of health, and of love: Of filial fear, Of knowledge and grace; Of wisdom and prayer, Of joy and of praise: 6 The Spirit of faith, Of faith in thy blood;
Which saves us from wrath, And brings us to God; [ sin, Removes the huge mountain Of indwelling And opens a fountain, That washes us clean.
HYMN 4.
L. M.
Ho! 0! every one that thirsts, draw h;"
(' Tis God invites the fallen race;) " Mercy and free salvation buy;
Buy wine, and milk, and gospel grace. 2" Come to the living waters, come!
Sinners, obey your Maker's call; Return, ye weary wanderers, home; And find my grace is free for ALL.
1"
3" See from the Rock a fountain rise! For you in healing streams it rolls; Money ye need not bring, nor price,
Ye labouring, burden'd, sin- sick souls. 4" Nothing ye in exchange shall give; Leave all you have and are behind; Frankly the gift of God receive,
Pardon and peace in Jesus find.

TO RETURN TO GOD.
5" Why seek ye that which is not bread,
Nor can your hungry souls sustain? On ashes, husks, and air ye feed; Ye spend your little all in vain. In search of empty joys below, Ye toil with unavailing strife: Whither, ah! whither would ye go? I have the words of endless life. 7" Hearken to me with earnest care, And freely eat substantial food; The sweetness of my mercy share, And taste that I alone am good.
6
8" I bid you all my goodness prove: My promises for all are free: Come, taste the manna of my love, And let your souls delight in ME. 9" Your willing ear and heart incline, My words believingly receive; Quicken'd your souls by faith divine, An everlasting life shall live."
11
HYMN 5.
10's& 11's.
1 THY faithfulness, Lord, Each moment we
THY find,
So true to thy word, So loving and kind; Thy mercy so tender To all the lost race, The vilest offender May turn and find grace.
2 The mercy I feel, To others I show,
I set to my seal That Jesus is true:
Ye all may find favour, Who come at his call; O come to my Saviour, His grace is for ALL. 3 To save what was lost, From heaven he came; Come, sinners, and trust In Jesus's name! He offers you pardon; He bids you be free: " If sin be your burden, O come unto me!"

12
EXHORTING SINNERS
40 let me commend My Saviour to you; The Publican's Friend, And Advocate too: For you he is pleading His merits and death; With God interceding For sinners beneath.
5 Then let us submit His grace to receive; Fall down at his feet, And gladly believe: We all are forgiven, For Jesus's sake: Our title to heaven, His merits we take.
1
HYMN 6.
7's.
SINNERS, turn, why will ye die?
God, your Maker, asks you why: God, who did your being give, Made you with himself to live; He the fatal cause demands, Asks the work of his own hands, Why, ye thankless creatures, why Will ye cross his love, and die?
2 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, your Saviour, asks you why: God, who did your souls retrieve, Died himself, that ye might live. Will you let him die in vain? Crucify your Lord again? Why, ye ransom'd sinners, why Will you slight his grace, and die?
3 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, the Spirit, asks you why: He who all your lives hath strove, Woo'd you to embrace his love: Will you not his grace receive? Will you still refuse to live? Why, ye long- sought sinners, why Will you grieve your God, and die?

TO RETURN TO GOD.
4 Dead already, dead within, Spiritually dead in sin:
1
Dead to God, while here you breathe,
Pant ye after second death? Will you still in sin remain, Greedy of eternal pain? O, ye dying sinners, why, Why will you for ever die?
HYMN 7.
7's.
Strangers to the life divine; Who their God can never know, Let their spirit downward go. You for higher ends were born: You may all to God return; Dwell with him above the sky: Why will you for ever die?
2 You, on whom he favours showers; You, possest of nobler powers; You, of Reason's powers possest; You, with Will and Memory blest; You, with finer sense endued, Creatures capable of God: Noblest of his creatures, why, Why will you for ever die? 3 You, whom he ordain'd to be Transcripts of the Deity; You, whom he in life doth hold; You, for whom himself was sold; You, on whom he still doth wait, Whom he would again create: Made by him, and purchased, why, Why will you for ever die?
4 You, who own his record true; You, his chosen people, you;

EXHORTING SINNERS
You, who call the Saviour, Lord; You, who read his written Word; You, who see the gospel light; Claim a crown in Jesu's right: Why will you, ye Christians, why Will the house of Israel die?
HYMN 8.

WH
THAT could your Redeemer do, More than he hath done for you? To procure your peace with God, Could he more than shed his blood? After all his waste of love,
All his drawings from above, Why will you your Lord deny? Why will you resolve to die?"
2 Turn, he cries, ye sinners, turn; By his life your God hath sworn, He would have you turn and live, He would all the world receive. If your death were his delight, Would he you to life invite? Would he ask, obtest, and cry, Why will you resolve to die?
3 Sinners, turn, while God is near: Dare not think him insincere: Now, even now, your Saviour stands; All day long he spreads his hands; Cries," Ye will not happy be! No, ye will not come to me! Me, who life to none deny: Why will you resolve to die?"
4 Can you doubt if God is love? If to all his bowels move?

1
TO RETURN TO GOD.
Will you not his Word receive? Will you not his OATH believe? See! the suffering God appears! Jesus weeps; believe his tears! Mingled with his blood, they cry, " Why will you resolve to die?""

the
Haste to the Supper of my Lord; Be wise to know your gracious day; All things are ready, come away!
2 Ready the Father is to own
And kiss his late- returning son: Ready your loving Saviour stands, And spreads for you his bleeding hands.
3 Ready the Spirit of his Love,
Just now the stony to remove; To' apply and witness with the blood, And wash and seal the sons of God.
4 Ready for you the angels wait, To triumph in your blest estate: Tuning their harps, they long to praise The wonders of redeeming grace.
5 The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Is ready, with their shining host: All heaven is ready to resound, " The dead's alive! the lost is found!"
15
6 Come, then, ye sinners, to your Lord, In Christ to paradise restored; His proffer'd benefits embrace, The plenitude of gospel grace:
7 A pardon written with his blood, The favour and the peace of God;

16 EXHORTING SINNERS TO RETURN TO GOD.
The seeing eye, the feeling sense, The mystic joys of penitence:
8 The godly fear, the pleasing smart, The meltings of a broken heart; The tears that tell your sins forgiven, The sighs that waft your souls to heaven:
1
9 The guiltless shame, the sweet distress; The' unutterable tenderness; The genuine, meek humility;
The wonder," Why such love to me!"
10 The' o'erwhelming power of saving grace, The sight that veils the seraph's face; The speechless awe that dares not move, And all the silent heaven of love.
HYMN 10.
10's& 11's.
YE
VE thirsty for God, To Jesus give ear, And take, through his ood, A power to draw near;
His kind invitation, Ye sinners, embrace, Accepting salvation, Salvation by grace.
2 Sent down from above, Who governs the skies, In vehement love To sinners he cries, " Drink into my Spirit, Who happy would be, And all things inherit, By coming to me." 3 0 Saviour of all, Thy word we believe, And come at thy call, Thy grace to receive: The blessing is given Wherever thou art, The earnest of heaven Is love in the heart. 4 To us, at thy feet, The Comforter give,
Who gasp to admit Thy Spirit, and live; The weakest believers Acknowledge for thine, And fill us with rivers Of water divine!

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!

2 The God that rules on high, That all the earth surveys, That rides upon the stormy sky, And calms the roaring seas; This awful God is ours, Our Father and our Love; He will send down his heavenly powers, To carry us above.
3 There we shall see his face, And never, never sin; There, from the rivers of his grace, Drink endless pleasures in: Yea, and before we rise To that immortal state, The thoughts of such amazing bliss Should constant joys create.
4 The men of grace have found Glory begun below: Celestial fruit on earthly ground
From faith and hope may grow: Then let our songs abound,
And every tear be dry:
We're marching through Immanuel's ground, To fairer worlds on high.

THE PLEASANTNESS OF RELIGION.
2 O that I might so believe, Steadfastly to Jesus cleave; On his only love rely,
Smile at the destroyer nigh: Free from sin and servile fear, Have my Jesus ever near; All his care rejoice to prove; All his paradise of love!
3 Jesus, seek thy wandering sheep; Bring me back, and lead, and keep; Take on thee my every care; Bear me, on thy bosom bear: Let me know my Shepherd's voice, More and more in thee rejoice; More and more of thee receive; Ever in thy Spirit live:
1
4 Live, till all thy life I know, Perfect, through my Lord, below: Gladly then from earth remove, Gather'd to the fold above: O that I at last may stand With the sheep at thy right hand; Take the crown so freely given, Enter in by thee to heaven!

3 Wisdom divine! Who tells the price Of Wisdom's costly merchandise? Wisdom to silver we prefer, And gold is dross compared to her.
4 Her hands are fill'd with length of days, True riches, and immortal praise; Riches of Christ, on all bestow'd, And honour that descends from God. 5 To purest joys she all invites,
Chaste, holy, spiritual delights; Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her flowery paths are peace.
6 Happy the man who Wisdom gains; Thrice happy, who his guest retains! He owns, and shall for ever own, Wisdom, and Christ, and Heaven are one.

2 Meek, simple followers of the Lamb, They lived, and spake, and thought the same; They joyfully conspired to raise Their ceaseless sacrifice of praise. 3 With grace abundantly endued, A pure, believing multitude, They all were of one heart and soul, And only love inspired the whole.
4 O what an age of golden days! O what a choice, peculiar race!! Wash'd in the Lamb's all- cleansing blood, Anointed Kings and Priests to God!
5 Where shall I wander now to find
The successors they left behind? The faithful, whom I seek in vain, Are' minish'd from the sons of men.
6 Ye different sects, who all declare, " Lo, here is Christ!" or," Christ is there!" Your stronger proofs divinely give, And show me where the Christians live.
7 Your claim, alas! ye cannot prove; Ye want the genuine mark of love: Thou only, Lord, thine own canst show; For sure thou hast a church below.

The church on earth can never fail: B 3

THE PLEASANTNESS OF RELIGION,
Ah! join me to thy secret ones! Ah! gather all thy living stones!
9 Scatter'd o'er all the earth they lie, Till thou collect them with thine eye; Draw by the music of thy Name, And charm into a beauteous frame.
10 For this the pleading Spirit groans, And cries in all thy banish'd ones; Greatest of gifts, thy love impart, And make us of one mind and heart.

Now, Lord, the glorious fulness give, And all in all for ever live!

4 In them let all mankind behold, How Christians lived in days of old; Mighty their envious foes to move, A proverb of reproach- and love.

5 Call them into thy wondrous light,
Worthy to walk with thee in white! Make up thy jewels, Lord, and show The glorious, spotless church below!
6 From every sinful wrinkle free,
Redeem'd from all iniquity,
The fellowship of saints make known; And, O my God, might I be one!
70 might my lot be cast with these; The least of Jesu's witnesses:
O that my Lord would count me meet To wash his dear disciples' feet!
8 This only thing do I require:
Thou know'st' tis all my heart's desire, Freely what I receive to give, The servant of thy church to live:
9 After my lowly Lord to go,
And wait upon thy saints below; Enjoy the grace to angels given, And serve the royal heirs of heaven.

10 Lord, if I now thy drawings feel,
And ask according to thy will, Confirm the prayer, the seal impart, And speak the answer to my heart. 11 Tell me, or thou shalt never go,
" Thy prayer is heard; it shall be so!" The word hath pass'd thy lips, and I Shall with thy people live and die.

The power of thy Spirit Hath set our hearts free,
And now we inherit All fulness in thee: 3 All fulness of peace, All fulness of joy, And spiritual bliss That never shall cloy: To us it is given In Jesus to know
A kingdom of heaven, A heaven below. 4 No longer we join, While sinners invite; Nor envy the swine Their brutish delight;

Far from the path of peace, ( That lonely, unfrequented way To life and happiness,)

THE PLEASANTNESS OF RELIGION.
Why will ye folly love,
And throng the downward road, And hate the wisdom from above, And mock the sons of God?
2 Madness and misery
Ye count our life beneath; And nothing great or good can see, Or glorious in our death: As only born to grieve,
Beneath your feet we lie; And utterly contemn'd we live, And unlamented die.
3 So wretched and obscure, The men whom ye despise, So foolish, impotent, and poor ,Above your scorn we rise: We, through the Holy Ghost, Can witness better things; For He, whose blood is all our boast, Hath made us Priests and Kings.
4 Riches unsearchable
In Jesu's love we know; And pleasures, springing from the well Of life, our souls o'erflow; The Spirit we receive
Of wisdom, grace, and power; And always sorrowful we live, Rejoicing evermore.
5 Angels our servants are,
And keep in all our ways; And in their watchful hands they bear The sacred sons of grace: Unto that heavenly bliss
They all our steps attend; And God himself our Father is, And Jesus is our Friend. Univ. Bibl.

We in his image shine; Our robes are robes of glorious light, Our righteousness divine. On all the kings of earth
With pity we look down; And claim, in virtue of our birth, A never- fading crown.

Nail'd to the shameful tree!
How vast the love that him inclined To bleed and die for thee!
27
2 Hark, how he groans! while nature shakes, And earth's strong pillars bend; The temple's veil in sunder breaks; The solid marbles rend.
3' Tis done! the precious ransom's paid; " Receive my soul," he cries:
See where he bows his sacred head! He bows his head, and dies!
4 But soon he'll break death's envious chain,
And in full glory shine:
O Lamb of God! was ever pain, Was ever love, like thine?

EX
Besmear'd with dust, and sweat, and blood, See there, the King of Glory see!
Sinks and expires the Son of God!

28
THE GOODNESS OF GOD.
3 I, I alone, have done the deed!
' Tis I thy sacred flesh have torn; My sins have caused thee, Lord, to bleed, Pointed the nail, and fix'd the thorn. 4 The burden, for me to sustain
Too great, on thee, my Lord, was laid; To heal me, thou hast borne my pain; To bless me, thou a curse wast made. 5 In the devouring lion's teeth,
Torn, and forsook of all, I lay; Thou sprang'st into the jaws of death, From death to save the helpless prey. 6 My Saviour, how shall I proclaim,
How pay, the mighty debt I owe? Let all I have, and all I am,
Ceaseless to all thy glory show. 7 Too much to thee I cannot give;
Too much I cannot do for thee; Let all thy love, and all thy grief, Graven on my heart for ever be! 8 The meek, the still, the lowly mind, O may I learn from thee, my God; And love, with softest pity join'd,
For those that trample on thy blood! 9 Still let thy tears, thy groans, thy sighs, O'erflow my eyes, and heave my breast, Till loose from flesh and earth I rise, And ever in thy bosom rest.

2 See! how his back the scourges tear, While to the bloody pillar bound!

THE GOODNESS OF GOD.
29
The ploughers make long furrows there, Till all his body is one wound.
3 Nor can he thus their hate assuage; His innocence, to death pursued, Must fully glut their utmost rage: Hark! how they clamour for his blood! 4" To us our own Barabbas give!
Away with him,"( they loudly cry,) " Away with him, not fit to live, The vile seducer crucify!"
5 His sacred limbs they stretch, they tear, With nails they fasten to the wood; His sacred limbs,-exposed and bare, Or only cover'd with his blood.
6 See there his temples crown'd with thorn, His bleeding hands extended wide, His streaming feet transfix'd and torn, The fountain gushing from his side! 7 Where is the King of Glory now!
The everlasting Son of God! The' Immortal hangs his languid brow; The' Almighty faints beneath his load! 8 Beneath my load he faints and dies:
I fill'd his soul with pangs unknown: I caused those mortal groans and cries, I kill'd the Father's only Son!

3 The earth could to her centre quake, Convulsed, while her Creator died: O let mine inmost nature shake, And die with Jesus crucified!
4 At thy last gasp the graves display'd Their horrors to the upper skies: O that my soul might burst the shade, And, quicken'd by thy death, arise!"
5 The rocks could feel thy powerful death, And tremble, and asunder part: O rend, with thine expiring breath, The harder marble of my heart!
6 My stony heart thy voice shall rent, Thou wilt, I trust, the veil remove: My inmost bowels shall resent
The yearnings of thy dying love.

Who life and strength from thence derive, And by thee move, and in thee live.

Make slaves the partners of thy throne, Deck'd with a never- fading crown?
6 Hence our hearts melt; our eyes o'erflow; Our words are lost; nor will we know, Nor will we think of aught beside, " My Lord, my Love is crucified."
7 Ah, Lord! enlarge our scanty thought, To know the wonders thou hast wrought; Unloose our stammering tongues, to tell Thy love immense, unsearchable.

To bring us rebels back to God: Believe, believe the record true,
Ye all are bought with Jesu's blood; Pardon for all flows from his side; My Lord, my Love is crucified. 4 Then let us sit beneath his cross, And gladly catch the healing stream:

Hasten to your pardoning God. Come, ye guilty spirits, oppress'd, Answer to the Saviour's call: " Come, and I will give you rest: Come, and I will save you all." 2 Jesus, full of truth and love,
We thy kindest word obey: Faithful let thy mercies prove; Take our load of guilt away: Fain we would on thee rely,
Cast on thee our every care; To thine arms of mercy fly,
Find our lasting quiet there. 3 Burden'd with a world of grief, Burden'd with our sinful load, Burden'd with this unbelief,
33
Burden'd with the wrath of God; Lo! we come to thee for ease,
True and gracious as thou art; Now our groaning souls release, Write forgiveness on our heart. HYMN 30. 6-8's.

Father, which thou to me hast show'd? That I, a child of wrath and hell,
I should be call'd a child of God, Should know, should feel my sins forgiven, Blest with this antepast of heaven!
3 And shall I slight my Father's love? Or basely fear his gifts to own? Unmindful of his favours prove?
Shall I, the hallow'd cross to shun, Refuse his righteousness to' impart, By hiding it within my heart?
4 No: though the ancient Dragon rage, And call forth all his host to war; Though earth's self- righteous sons engage; Them, and their god, alike I dare; Jesus, the sinner's Friend, proclaim; Jesus, to sinners still the same. 5 Outcasts of men, to you I call,
Harlots, and publicans, and thieves! He spreads his arms to' embrace you all; Sinners alone his grace receives: No need of him the righteous have; He came the lost to seek and save.
6 Come, O my guilty brethren, come,
Groaning beneath your load of sin; His bleeding heart shall make you room; His open side shall take you in: He calls you now, invites you home; Come, O my guilty brethren, come! 7 For you the purple current flow'd
In pardons from his wounded side; Languish'd for you the' eternal God; For you the Prince of Glory died: Believe, and all your sin's forgiven; Only believe, and yours is heaven!

35
And calls his wandering creatures home: He all day long spreads out his hands;
" 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.

4 Nay, but his bowels yearn'd to see The people hungry, scatter'd, faint; Nay, but he utter'd over thee,

How feeble is our mortal frame, What dying worms we be!
2 Our wasting lives grow shorter still, As days and months increase; And every beating pulse we tell Leaves but the number less.
3 The year rolls round, and steals away The breath that first it gave; Whate'er we do, where'er we be, We're travelling to the grave.
4 Dangers stand thick through all the ground, To push us to the tomb;
And fierce diseases wait around, To hurry mortals home.
5 Great God! on what a slender thread
Hang everlasting things! The' eternal states of all the dead, Upon life's feeble strings!
6 Infinite joy, or endless woe, Attends on every breath; And yet how unconcern'd we go Upon the brink of death!
7 Waken, O Lord, our drowsy sense, To walk this dangerous road! And if our souls be hurried hence, May they be found with God.

What sight upon earth is so fair? Not all the gay pageants that breathe Can with a dead body compare: With soiemn delight I survey
The corpse, when the spirit is fled, In love with the beautiful clay,
And longing to lie in its stead. 2 How blest is our brother, bereft
Of all that could burden his mind! How easy the soul that has left This wearisome body behind! Of evil incapable, thou,
Whose relics with envy I see, No longer in misery now,
No longer a sinner like me. 3 This earth is affected no more
With sickness, or shaken with pain: The war in the members is o'er,
And never shall vex him again: No anger henceforward, or shame, Shall redden this innocent clay: Extinct is the animal flame,
And passion is vanish'd away.

DESCRIBING DEATH.
4 This languishing head is at rest, Its thinking and aching are o'er; This quiet immovable breast
Is heaved by affliction no more: This heart is no longer the seat
Of trouble and torturing pain; It ceases to flutter and beat,
It never shall flutter again.
5 The lids he so seldom could close, By sorrow forbidden to sleep, Seal'd up in their mortal repose, Have strangely forgotten to weep: The fountains can yield no supplies, These hollows from water are free; The tears are all wiped from these eyes, And evil they never shall see.
6 To mourn and to suffer is mine,
While bound in a prison I breathe, And still for deliverance pine,
And press to the issues of death; What now with my tears I bedew, O might I this moment become! My spirit created anew, My flesh be consign'd to the tomb!

2 Our brother the haven hath gain'd,
Out- flying the tempest and wind; His rest he hath sooner obtain'd, And left his companions behind, Still toss'd on a sea of distress,
Hard toiling to make the blest shore, Where all is assurance and peace, And sorrow and sin are no more.
3 There all the ship's company meet,
Who sail'd with the Saviour beneath; With shouting each other they greet, And triumph o'er trouble and death: The voyage of life' s at an end, The mortal affliction is past; The age that in heaven they spend, For ever and ever shall last.

Lighten'd of his fleshly load; Where the weary are at rest, He is gather'd in to God! Lo! the pain of life is past,
All his warfare now is o'er; Death and hell behind are cast, Grief and suffering are no more.

DESCRIBING DEATH.
3 Yes, the Christian's course is run, Ended is the glorious strife; Fought the fight, the work is done, Death is swallow'd up of life! Borne by angels on their wings, Far from earth the spirit flies, Finds his God, and sits, and sings, Triumphing in Paradise.
4 Join we then, with one accord, In the new, the joyful song: Absent from our loving Lord
We shall not continue long: We shall quit the house of clay, We a better lot shall share; We shall see the realms of day, Meet our happy brother there.
5 Let the world bewail their dead, Fondly of their loss complain; Brother, friend, by Jesus freed, Death to thee, to us, is gain: Thou art enter'd into joy:
Let the unbelievers mourn; We in songs our lives employ, Till we all to God return.

Where their Head hath gone before; Reconciled by grace below,
Grace had open'd Mercy's door; Justified through faith alone,
Here they knew their sins forgiven; Here they laid their burden down, Hallow'd, and made meet for heaven.
3 Who can now lament the lot
Of a saint in Christ deceased? Let the world, who know us not, Call us hopeless and unbless'd: When from flesh the spirit freed, Hastens homeward to return, Mortals cry," A man is dead!" Angels sing," A child is born!"
4 Born into the world above,
They our happy brother greet; Bear him to the throne of Love,
Place him at the Saviour's feet: Jesus smiles, and says," Well done, Good and faithful servant thou; Enter, and receive thy crown,
Reign with me triumphant now."
5 Angels catch the' approving sound, Bow, and bless the just award; Hail the heir with glory crown'd, Now rejoicing with his Lord: Fuller joys ordain'd to know,
Waiting for the general doom, When the Archangel's trump shall blow, " Rise, ye dead, to judgment come!"

A mother in Israel is gone! The winter of trouble is past;
The storms of affliction are o'er; Her struggle is ended at last,

And caught him again in the sky: Advanced to her happy estate,
And pleasure that never shall die: Where glorified spirits, by sight, Converse in their holy abode, As stars in the firmament bright, And pure as the angels of God.

And shine with the glory they see: The glory of God and the Lamb
( While all in the ecstasy join) Darts into their spiritual frame,
And gives the enjoyment divine. 4 In loud hallelujahs they sing,
And harmony echoes his praise;

IFT your eyes of faith, and see Saints and angels join'd in one: What a countless company
Stand before yon dazzling throne! Each before his Saviour stands;
All in milk- white robes array'd, Palms they carry in their hands, Crowns of glory on their head. 2 Saints begin the endless song, Cry aloud in heavenly lays, Glory doth to God belong;
God, the glorious Saviour, praise: All salvation from him came;
Him who reigns enthroned on high: Glory to the bleeding Lamb,
Let the morning stars reply. 3 Angel- powers the throne surround, Next the saints in glory they; Lull'd with the transporting sound, They their silent homage pay; Prostrate on their face before God and his Messiah fall; Then in hymns of praise adore, Shout the Lamb that died for all! 4 Be it so, they all reply,
Him let all our orders praise; Him that did for sinners die, Saviour of the favour'd race! Render we our God his right,
Glory, wisdom, thanks, and power, Honour, majesty, and might, Praise him, praise him evermore! HYMN 76. 7's.

Foremost of the sons of light, Nearest the eternal throne? These are they that bore the cross, Nobly for their Master stood; Sufferers in his righteous cause, Followers of the dying God. 2 Out of great distress they came,
Wash'd their robes by faith below In the blood of yonder Lamb,
Blood that washes white as snow: Therefore are they next the throne, Serve their Maker day and night: God resides among his own,
God doth in his saints delight. 3 More than conquerors at last,
Here they find their trials o'er; They have all their sufferings past, Hunger now and thirst no more: No excessive heat they feel
From the sun's directer ray; In a milder clime they dwell, Region of eternal day.
4 He that on the throne doth reign, Them the Lamb shall always feed, With the tree of life sustain,
To the living fountains lead: He shall all their sorrows chase,
All their wants at once remove, Wipe the tears from every face, Fill up every soul with love.

As far as hell from heaven, Thy purity I still abhorr'd, Nor look'd to be forgiven.

Father, our helplessness we own, And trembling taste our food.

5 Come, then, our heavenly Adam, come, Thy healing influence give: Hallow our food, reverse our doom, And bid us eat, and live!
6 The bondage of corruption break; For this our spirits groan; Thy only will we fain would seek, O save us from our own!

7 Turn the full stream of nature's tide; Let all our actions tend
To thee their Source; thy love the guide, Thy glory be the end.

And take, O take the veil away; Turn my darkness into light, My midnight into day.
4 Naked of thine image, Lord, Forsaken, and alone, Unrenew'd, and unrestored, I have not thee put on: Over me thy mantle spread,
Send down thy likeness from above; Let thy goodness be display'd, And wrap me in thy love.
5 Poor, alas! thou know'st I am, And would be poorer still; See my nakedness and shame, And all my vileness feel: No good thing in me resides, My soul is all an aching void, Till thy Spirit here abides,
And I am fill'd with God.
6 Jesus, full of truth and grace, In thee is all I want; Be the wanderer's resting- place, A cordial to the faint: Make me rich, for I am poor;
In thee may I my Eden find; To the dying health restore,
And eye- sight to the blind!

Who gasp for help to thee.

The wine and oil of grace pour in; Good Physician, speak the word, And heal my soul of sin.
Pity to my dying cries
Hath drawn thee from above; Hovering over me, with eyes Of tenderness and love, Now, ev'n now, I see thy face; The balm of Gilead I receive: Thou hast saved me by thy grace, And bade the sinner live.
6 Surely now the bitterness Of second death is past; O my life, my righteousness! On thee my soul is cast: Thou hast brought me to thine inn, And I am of thy promise sure; Thou shalt cleanse me from all sin, And all my sickness cure.

Set up thy kingdom in my heart,
And make me rich, for I am poor: To me be all thy treasures given, The kingdom of an inward heaven.

Till thou, my only Rest, return; Till thou, the Prince of Peace, appear, And I receive the Comforter.
3 Where is the blessedness, bestow'd On all that hunger after thee? I hunger now, I thirst for God;
See the poor fainting sinner, see, And satisfy with endless peace, And fill me with thy righteousness!

4 Ah, Lord, if thou art in that sigh, Then hear thyself within me pray; Hear in my heart thy Spirit's cry;
Mark what my labouring soul would say; Answer the deep, unutter'd groan, And show that thou and I are one.
5 Shine on thy work, disperse the gloom Light in thy light I then shall see; Say to my soul," Thy light is come; Glory divine is risen on thee:
Thy warfare's past; thy mourning's o'er: Look up, for thou shalt weep no more." 6 Lord, I believe the promise sure,
And trust thou wilt not long delay: Hungry, and sorrowful, and poor
Upon thy word myself I stay; Into thine hands my all resign, And wait till all thou art is mine.

Thy love on the tree Display unto me,
And the servant of sin in a moment is free. 3 Neither passion nor pride Thy cross can abide, But melt in the fountain that streams from thy side;
Let thy life- giving blood Remove all my load, And purge my foul conscience, and bring me to God.

Turns from his sin to Thee, His late repentance is not vain, He shall accepted be.

That all might come to God; The covenant Thou hast ratified, And seal'd it with thy blood.

And doth till death endure, He shall be saved eternally; The covenant is sure; The mountains shall give place, Thy covenant cannot move, The covenant of thy general grace, Thy all- redeeming love.

A potsherd of A poor guilty worm am I, A Canaanite by birth: Save me from this tyranny;
From all the power of Satan save; Mercy, mercy upon me,
Thou Son of David, have! 2 To the sheep of Israel's fold
Thou in thy flesh wast sent; Yet the Gentiles now behold In thee their Covenant: See me then, with pity see,
A sinner whom thou cam'st to save! Mercy, mercy upon me, Thou Son of David, have! 3 Still I cannot part with thee; I will not let thee go: Mercy, mercy upon me,
Thou Son of David, show! Vilest of the sinful race,
On thee, importunate, I call: Help me, Jesus, show thy grace; Thy grace is free for all.
4 Nothing am I in thy sight; Nothing have I to plead; Unto dogs it is not right
To cast the children's bread: Yet the dogs the crumbs may eat,
That from the master's table fall: Let the fragments be my meat; Thy grace is free for all. 5 Give me, Lord, the victory, My heart's desire fulfil:

Before the world's foundation slain; Whose mercy shall unshaken stay, When heaven and earth are fled away. 2 Father, thine everlasting grace
Our scanty thought surpasses far: Thy heart still melts with tenderness; Thy arms of love still open are, Returning sinners to receive, That mercy they may taste and live. 3 0 Love, thou bottomless abyss!

Nor spot of guilt remains on me, While Jesu's blood, through earth and skies, Mercy, free, boundless mercy, cries! 4 With faith I plunge me in this sea;
Here is my hope, my joy, my rest; Hither, when hell assails, I flee;
I look into my Saviour's breast; Away, sad doubt, and anxious fear! Mercy is all that's written there.

Whate'er thy will decrees is done: Thy wisdom, equal to thy might, Only to thee, O God, is known!

Who thankless spurn thy easy reign. Thy sun thou bidd'st his genial ray Alike on all impartial pour; To all, who hate or bless thy sway,
Thou bidd'st descend the fruitful shower.

How sweet the joys, the crown how bright, Of those who to thy love aspire! All creatures praise the' eternal Name!

Unhurt on snares and death I'll tread; Though sin assail, and hell, thrown wide, Pour all its flames upon my head, Like Moses' bush, I'll mount the higher, And flourish, unconsumed, in fire.

Thy promises bind thee Compassion to have; Now, now let me find thee Almighty to save. 2 Rejoicing in hope, And patient in grief, To thee I look up For certain relief; I fear no denial, No danger I fear,
Nor start from the trial, While Jesus is near.
3 I every hour In jeopardy stand;
But thou art my power, And holdest my hand: While yet I am calling, Thy succour I feel; It saves me from falling, Or plucks me from hell.

The wonderful coming Of Jesus declare!
5 For every fight Is dreadful and loud! The warrior's delight Is slaughter and blood, His foes overturning Till all shall expire ,But this is with burning, And fuel of fire. 6 Yet God is above Men, devils, and sin;
My Jesus's love The battle shall win: So terribly glorious His coming shall be, His love all- victorious Shall conquer for me.

When I have my Saviour, My sin shall depart, And Jesus for ever Shall reign in my heart.

If my heart to thee incline, Christ again shall set it free! I am his, and he is mine To all eternity.

Still I trust the same to prove; Still my helpless soul I cast On his redeeming love.
4 With my sling and stone I go To fight the Philistine; God hath said it shall be so, And I shall conquer sin: On his promise I rely, Trust in an Almighty Lord; Sure to win the victory,
For he hath spoke the word.
5 In the strength of God I rise, I run to meet my foe; Faith the word of power applies, And lays the giant low: Faith in Jesu's conquering name Slings the sin- destroying stone; Points the word's unerring aim, And brings the monster down.

WONDROUS power of faithful prayer! What tongue can tell the' almighty grace? God's hands or bound or open are,
As Moses or Elijah prays: Let Moses in the spirit groan, And God cries out," Let me alone!
2" Let me alone, that all my wrath
May rise the wicked to consume! While justice hears thy praying faith, It cannot seal the sinner's doom: My Son is in my servant's prayer, And Jesus forces me to spare."
30 blessed word of gospel grace!
Which now we for our Israel plead; A faithless and backsliding race,
Whom thou hast out of Egypt freed:

FOR BELIEVERS PRAYING. 287 O do not then in wrath chastise, Nor let thy whole displeasure rise. 4 Father, we ask in Jesu's name;
In Jesu's power and spirit pray! Divert thy vengeful thunder's aim!
O turn thy threat'ning wrath away! Our guilt and punishment remove, And magnify thy pardoning love. 5 Father, regard thy pleading Son! Accept his all- availing prayer; And send a peaceful answer down, In honour of our Spokesman there; Whose blood proclaims our sins forgiven, And speaks thy rebels up to heaven.

For the Jews.
MESSIAH, full of grace, Redeem'd by thee, we plead
The promise made to Abraham's race, To souls for ages dead.
2 Their bones, as quite dried up,
Throughout the vale appear:
Cut off and lost their last faint hope To see thy kingdom here.

3 Open their graves, and bring
The outcasts forth, to own
Thou art their Lord, their God, their King, Their true Anointed One.

Thy glorious arm display! And show the world a nation born, A nation in a day!

2 Outcasts from thee, and scatter'd wide Through every nation under heaven, Blaspheming whom they crucified,
Unsaved, unpitied, unforgiven, Branded like Cain, they bear their load, Abhorr'd of men, and cursed of God. 3 But hast thou finally forsook,
For ever cast thy own away? Wilt thou not bid the murd'rers look
On him they pierced, and weep, and pray! Yes, gracious Lord, thy word is past; All Israel shall be saved at last.
4 Come, then, thou great Deliverer, come! The veil from Jacob's heart remove; Receive thy ancient people home!
That, quicken'd by thy dying love, The world may their reception find Life from the dead for all mankind.

Might now their brethren bring, And, gather'd out of every land, Present to Sion's King! Of all the ancient race,

For God hath spoke the word; All Israel shall the Saviour own, To their first state restored: Rebuilt by his command,
Jerusalem shall rise; Her temple on Moriah stand Again, and touch the skies.

Where'er in lands unknown
The fugitives remain, Bid every creature help them on, The Holy Mount to gain.

From the devouring sword; Our city of defence is nigh; Our help is in the Lord. -Or, if the scourge o'erflow, And laugh at innocence, Thine everlasting arms, we know, Shall be our souls' defence.

GOD
of unspotted purity,
Us and our works canst thou behold! Justly we are abhorr'd by thee, For we are neither hot nor cold. 2 We call thee Lord, thy faith profess, But do not from our hearts obey; In soft Laodicean ease
We sleep our useless lives away. 3 We live in pleasure, and are dead,
In search of fame and wealth we live: Commanded in thy steps to tread,
We seek sometimes, but never strive. 4 A lifeless form we still retain;
Of this we make our empty boast, Nor know the name we take in vain; The power of godliness is lost.
5 How long, great God, have we appear'd Abominable in thy sight! Better that we had never heard Thy word, or seen the gospel light. 6 Better that we had never known
The way to heaven through saving grace, Than basely in our lives disown,
And slight and mock thee to thy face.

The things belonging to our peace, And timely meet thee in thy way

Searching the inmost of the mind, To purge all fierce and foul desire,

To break the power of cancell'd sin, Tread down its strength, o'erturn its sway And still the conquest more than win. 6 The Spirit breathe of inward life,

His agents all their powers employ, To blast the blooming work of grace, The heavenly offspring to destroy. 5 Baffle the crooked Serpent's skill,

From hell, the world, and sin secure; And set their feet upon the rock, And make in thee their goings sure. HYMN 459. S. M.

To train our infant up for heaven.
3 We tremble at the danger near,
And crowds of wretched parents see, Who, blindly fond, their children rear In tempers far as hell from thee:

7 Or, if thou grant a longer date,
With resolute wisdom us endue, To point him out his lost estate, His dire apostasy to show:
8 To time our every smile or frown, To mark the bounds of good and ill; And beat the pride of nature down, And bend or break his rising will. 9 Him let us tend, severely kind, As gu ans of his giddy youth; As set to form his tender mind, By principles of virtuous truth: 10 To fit his soul for heavenly grace;
Discharge the Christian parents' part; And keep him, till thy love takes place, And Jesus rises in his heart.

7 In spite of our resolves, we fear Our own infirmity;
And tremble at the trial near, And cry, O God, to thee!

With shame confess our nature's stream Too strong for us to turn.
9 Our only help in danger's hour, Our only strength, thou art! Above the world, and Satan's power, And greater than our heart!

SAVIOUR of all, to thee we bow, And own thee faithful to thy word; We hear thy voice, and open now Our hearts to entertain our Lord.
2 Come in, come in, thou heavenly Guest, Delight in what thyself hast given; On thy own gifts and graces feast, And make the contrite heart thy heaven.
3 Smell the sweet odour of our prayers, Our sacrifice of praise approve; And treasure up our gracious tears, And rest in thy redeeming love.
4 Beneath thy shadow let us sit,
Call us thy friends, and love, and bride; And bid us freely drink and eat Thy dainties, and be satisfied. 50 let us on thy fulness feed,
And eat thy flesh, and drink thy blood! Jesus, thy blood is drink indeed, Jesus, thy flesh is angels' food.
6 The heavenly manna faith imparts; Faith makes thy fulness all our own; We feed upon thee in our hearts, And find that heaven and thou are one.

Drag us from our trust in thee. 5 Save us from the great and wise, Till they sink in their own eyes, Tamely to thy yoke submit, Lay their honours at thy feet. 6 Never let the world break in; Fix a mighty gulf between: Keep us little and unknown, Prized and loved by God alone.

While on the wings of faith and prayer We each to other fly.

In heavenly places sit; Clothed with the sun, we smile to see The moon beneath our feet.
7 Our life is hid with Christ in God; Our Life shall soon appear, And shed his glory all abroad In all his members here.

8 The heavenly treasure now we have In a vile house of clay; But he shall to the utmost save, And keep it to that day.
9 Our souls are in his mighty hand, And he shall keep them still; And you and I shall surely stand With him on Sion's hill!
10 Him eye to eye we there shall see; Our face like his shall shine: O what a glorious company, When saints and angels join
11 0 what a joyful meeting there! In robes of white array'd, Palms in our hands we all shall bear, And crowns upon our head. 12 Then let us lawfully contend,
And fight our passage through; Bear in our faithful minds the end, And keep the prize in view. 213

Gently touch the trembling strings; Make the harmony of love, Music for the King of kings!

All thy only love declare; Spread thy love to all around: Hark! we now our voices raise!Joyful consentaneous sound, Sweetest symphony of praise.

A
SUPPLEMENT
TO THE
COLLECTION OF HYMNS
FOR THE
USE OF THE PEOPLE
CALLED
METHODISTS.

ADVERTISEMENT.
THE following Supplement is designed to furnish a greater number of hymns suitable for public worship, for festivals, and for occasional services, than are found in that invaluable Collection, in common use, which the piety and genius of the Wesleys bequeathed to the societies raised up by their ministry. It is compiled chiefly from the festival and other hymns which Mr. Charles Wesley published in separate pamphlets; and from his unpublished poetry, which, by purchase from his heir, along with other papers, has lately become the property of the Connexion. To these, some hymns have been added from other authors, chiefly from DR. WATTS; and a few which, though they sink below the rank of the Wesley poetry, are inserted because of some excellence which will be found in the sentiment, and the greater choice of subjects which they afford. Most of the hymns of this class, however, were inserted in the Morning Hymn- Book, prepared by Mr. Wesley for the London congregations, or in a smaller Collection published by him; and so

had his sanction. A few others have been introduced because of their popular character, and their being favourites with many of our people. Limited as this Supplement is, it will render our Congregations more familiar than they have ever been with some noble hymns of Mr. Charles Wesley, only to be found in Collections which are in the hands of comparafor tively few persons; whilst it brings into use, the first time, a number of his compositions not inferior to those which he himself published. The Preachers will here find hymns adapted to various subjects on which they address the people and our fine occasional hymns, which were seldom used, because not in the hands of the congregations generally, will be ready for festival occasions; and will be found in many instances adapted also, at least in some of their stanzas, to general use. As several of the hymns in this Collection are selected from the papers of Mr. Charles Wesley above referred to, and have not before been published, a copy- right is established in this Supplement; and all pirated editions are rendered liable to legal process. To guard against such attempts to turn to private profit, what is sacredly applied to the support of the work of God, this Collection has been regularly entered at Stationers'Hall.

The ancient seers record thy praise; The goodly apostolic band
In highest joy and glory stand; And all the saints and prophets join To' extol thy majesty divine.

Wilt all thy creatures bless; Every knee to thee shall bow, And every tongue confess: None shall in thy mount destroy; War shall then be learnt no more; Saints shall their great King enjoy, And all mankind adore.

2 These walls we to thy honour raise, Long may they echo to thy praise! And thou, descending, fill the place With choicest tokens of thy grace.
3 And in the great decisive day, When God the nations shall survey, May it before the world appear, That crowds were born to glory here.

On laying the Foundation of a Chapel.
I THOU, who hast in Sion laid The true Foundation- stone, And with those a covenant made, Who build on that alone: Hear us, Architect divine! Great Builder of thy church below; Now upon thy servants shine, Who seek thy praise to show.
2 Earth is thine; her thousand hills Thy mighty hand sustains; Heaven thy awful presence fills; O'er all thy glory reigns: Yet the place of old prepared By regal David's favour'd son, Thy peculiar blessing shared, And stood thy chosen throne.
3 We, like Jesse's son, would raise A temple to the Lord;
Sound throughout its courts His praise, His saving name record;
Dedicate a house to Him,
Who, once in mortal weakness shrined, Sorrow'd, suffer'd, to redeem, To rescue all mankind.
4 Father, Son, and Spirit, send The consecrating flame; Now in majesty descend, Inscribe the living name; That great name by which we live, Now write on this accepted stone; Us into thy hands receive,
Our temple make thy throne.

O Lord of Hosts, thy dwellings are! With strong desire my spirit faints To meet the assemblies of thy saints.
2 Blest are the saints that sit on high, Around thy throne of majesty; Thy brightest glories shine above, And all their work is praise and love. 3 Blest are the souls that find a place Within the temple of thy grace; Here they behold thy gentler rays, And seek thy face, and learn thy praise.
4 Blest are the men whose hearts are set To find the way to Sion's gate;
