CONTAINING INTRODUCTORY HYMNS.
SECTION 1.

Exhorting Sinners to return to GOD.
HYMN 1.* [Birftal Tune. C. M.

FOR a thousand tongues to fing
My great Redeemer's praife!

The glories of my GOD and Kino, *
The triumphs of his grace!

2 My gracious Mafter, and my God,
Affift me to proclaim,

To fpread thro' all the earth abroad
The honours of thy Name.

3 JESUS, the Name that charms our fears,
That bids our forrows cease:

"Tis mufic in the finner's ears;
"Tis life, and health, and peace.

4 He breaks the power of cancell'd fin,
He fets the prifoner free:

His blood can make the fouleft clean:
His blood avail'd for me.

5 He fpeaks,---and liftening to his voice,
New life the dead receive;

The mournful, broken hearts rejoice;
The humble poor believe.

*Those who give out the Hymns, are request ž to mention the Number of the Hymns as well s of the Pages.

6 Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb,
Your loofen'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 fav'd thro' faith alone,
Be juftify'd by grace.

8 See all your fins on Jefus laid:
The LAMB of GOD was flain,
His foul was once an offering made
For every foul of man.

9 Awake from guilty nature's fleep,
And Chrift fhall give you light;
Caft all your fins into the deep,
And wash the Æthiop white :

10 With me, your chief, ye then shall know,
Shall feel your fins forgiven;
Anticipate your heaven below,
And own that love is heaven.
HYMN

Nor fuffer him to die in vain.
7 His love is mighty to compel;

His conquering love confent to feel;
Yield to his love's refiftlefs power;

That precious bleeding Sacrifice;

And freely now be fav'd 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.

3 Whoever receives, The life-giving word,
In Jefus believes, His God and his Lord,
In him a pure river Of life shall arise;
Shall in the believer Spring up to the skies.

Of wisdom, and prayer, Of joy, and of praise :

Which faves us from wrath, And brings us

Removes the huge mountain Of indwelling fin, And opens a fountain That washes us clean.

Buy wine, and milk, and gospel-grace.

"Nothing ye in exchange fhall give,
Leave all you have, and are behind;
Frankly the gift of GOD receive,
