We know the God of truth can see 4 Lord, never let our envy grow, 5 O God of truth! help to detest 1 HYMN 43: Second Part. C. M. The Christian is true and faithful to Jesus. A MI a soldier of the cross, A follow'r of the Lamb? And shall I fear to own his cause, 2 Must I be carried to the skies, While others fought to win the prize, 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Is this wild world a friend to grace, 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign; And bear the toil, endure the pain, 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thy armies shine 1 In robes of vict'ry thro' the skies, HYMN 44. First Part. L. M. W The tenth command. HATE'ER thy lot on earth may be, Nor others envy, nor repine, Nor covet aught that is not thine. 2 Justly hast thou forbidden, Lord, Each murm'ring motion, thought, and word; Justly requiring full content, With what thy providence hath lent. 3 But can a sinner lift his eye Before the Lord of hosts on high, And say, "This precept I've obey'd "Nor from it ever turn'd aside?" 4 Alive without the law I stood, And thought my state was safe and good; But when with pow'r this precept came, I saw my sin, and guilt, and shame. 5 Lord, I adore thy saving love, 1 Which did from me the curse remove, HYMN 44.

HYMN 44. Third Part. L. M. Practical use of the moral law. LORD, my soul convicted stands Of breaking all thy ten commands: And on me justly might'st thou pour Thy wrath in one eternal show'r. 2 But thanks to God, its loud alarms Have warn'd me of approaching harms; And now, O Lord, my wants I see, Lost and undone, I come to thee. 3 I know my fig-leaf righteousness Can ne'er thy broken law redress; Yet in the gospel plan I see, There's hope of pardon e'en for me. 4 There, I behold with wonder, Lord! That Christ hath to thy law restor'd Those honours on th' atoning day, Which guilty sinners took away. 5 Amazing wisdom, pow'r and love, Display'd to rebels from above! 1 Do thou, O Lord, my faith increase W Prayer. HERE is my God? does he retire But reaches thy all-gracious ear. The prayer of faith. 1 THE Lord, who truly knows T Invites us by his holy word, 2 He bows his gracious ear! 3 Tho' unbelief suggest, He bids us never give him rest; 4 'Twas thus a widow poor, He loves our importunity, 1 And makes our cause his care. HYMN 45. Third Part. Exhortation to prayer. L. M. Win coming to a mercy-seat! THAT various hindrances we meet Yet who, that knows the worth of prayer, 2 Prayer makes the darken'd cloud withdraw; 3 Restraining prayer, we cease to fight; The weakest saint upon his knees. 4 Were half the breath that's vainly spent, Our cheerful song would oft'ner be, |
