Give him, we pray, Thou GoD of Love.

2 With us the pilgrim's ftate embrace;
We're trav❜ling to a blissful place,
The new Jerufalem above,

The radiant throne, the feat of love. The holy Ghoft that knows the way, Conduct thee on from day to day!! 3 The staff of promise now receive, Thy weary footsteps to relieve, The chief fupport the trav❜ler knows, Leaning on which he forward goes. Thus if for reft thy fpirits call,. Leaning on this thou can'ft not fall..

4 With peace, with ceafelefs peace be fhod,, The fhoes of peace receive of GOD; These keep from pain the pilgrim's feet, And make the rugged way feem fweet. So Sion's paths fhall ever prove.

The paths of joy, and peace, and love.. 5 Thus onward move with upright pace; Stedfaft purfue the gofpel-race:

Fill'd with the pow'r of truth divine,
Prove all the strength of JESUS thine.
Commiffion'd angels foon, fhall come,
And waft thee to thy wish'd-for home.

ORTH in thy ftrength, O LORD, we go,
Thy gofpel to proclaim;

Thine only righteousness to shew,
And glorify thy name.

2 Vouchsafe thine aid to speak thy word
In this appointed hour!
Attend it with thy Spirit, LORD,
And let it come with pow'r.

3 Open the hearts of all that hear,
To make their Saviour room:
Now let me find redemption near,
Let faith by hearing come.

4 Give them to hear the word as thine
And while they thus receive,
Prove it the faving pow'r divine,
To finners that believe.

AFTER RETURNING FROM PREACHING,

GLO

LORY to thee our CHRIST be giv'n,
For this thy gofpel word,

Thanks for the news reveal'd from heav'n,
SALVATION from the LORD.

2 Glory to thy great name alone,
That life and pow'r imparts;
Now, LORD, thy gofpel-meffage own,
And graft it on their hearts.

3 Now let them feel the tidings true;
Grant to thy word fuccefs;
Water it with thy heav'nly dew,
And give the wifh'd increase.

4 Savour of life! Olet it prove,
And thew their fins forgiv'n !
Give them that faith which works by love,
Which sweetly leads to heav'n.

HYMN 369.

TO THE TRINITY.

LE

ET GOD the FATHER live For ever on our tongues, Sinners from his free love derive The ground of all their fongs. 2 Ye faints, employ your breath In honour to the Son

;

Who bought your fouls from hell and death,

By off'ring up his own.

3. Give to the SPIRIT praise

Of an immortal strain

;

Whose light and pow'r, and grace conveys Salvation down to men.

4 While God the COMFORTER
Reveals our pardon'd fin,

O may the blood and water bear
The fame record within!

5 To the great ONE and THREE,
That feal the grace in heav'n,
The FATHER, SON, and SPIRIT, be
Eternal glory giv❜n.

AT MEETING.

LEST by JESU's providence,
Lo! we meet again in peace:
May we, when we fly from hence,
Meet in a more glorious place!
2 When we once fhall there arrive,
Ever happy we fhall reign;
Ever with our Saviour live,
'Midst a hoft of perfect men.
There shall forrow not intrude,
Grief shall never there appear:
Wash'd in our Redeemer's blood,

3

We shall stand, made free from fear. 4 Come, dear fellows, joyful, come; Forward boldly let us prefs; Humbly let our fouls prefume, Truft in JEsu's righteousness.

5 Pray we for the promis'd hour,
When the family compleat,

Borne on clouds, and girt with pow'r,
In the house above fhall meet.

6 Master, haften on thy day!
Glorious to thy judgment come l
Call thy trav'ling faints away;
LORD, we long to be at home.

HYMN 3.71

AT PARTING

LEST be the dear uniting love,
That will not let us part;
Our bodies may far off remove,
We still are join'd in heart.

2 Join'd in one Spirit to our Head,
Where he appoints we go,
And still in JESU's footsteps tread,
And do his work below.

3

O let us ever walk in him,
And nothing know befide,
Nothing defire, nothing efteem,
But JESUS crucify'd.

4 Clofer and closer let us cleave
To his belov'd embrace,

Expect his fulness to receive,

And grace to anfwer grace..
