We exhort you to sing with the spirit and with the understanding also: and thus may the high praises of GOD be set up from East to West, from North to South: and we shall be happily instrumental in leading the devotion of thousands, and shall rejoice to join you in time and eternity.

We are,

Dear Brethren,

Melody.] HYMN 1.
HYMN 1. C. M.

FIRST PART.

FOR a thousand tongues to sing
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 pris'ner free;

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

5 He speaks and list'ning to his voice,
New life the dead receive;

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

I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise unto my
God while I have my being. Psal. civ. 33.

I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
1 Cor. xiv. 15.
