Tune-"Benediction."

1 WHO is willing? These are willing
Children, looking for the Lord;
Springing to the arms of Jesus,
At his first endearing word.

2 Let them come, the Shepherd sought them; He has called them, they are blest; Feed his lambs, his blood has bought them, And he bears them on his breast.

3 Who is willing? Weeping sinners; Broken hearted, see they come ! Lo! behold the dead arising

From the darkness of the tomb.

4 Blind, they grope amidst the shadows ;
Waiting by the way, they cry,
"Give us light, O Lord, to see thee;
For we hear thee passing by."

1 WHO is on the Lord's side? Who? Happy they, O happy they;

Resolute his will to do;

Glad his bidding to obey.

2 Who is on the Lord's side? Come!
Light and joy adorn his ways:
Fear not, but while journeying home,
Sing thy song of thankful praise.

D

3 Who is on the Lord's side?

Who?

Striving sinfulness to shun;

Serving Christ life's progress through :
Blessing on thee, happy one!

4 Who is on the Lord's side? Come!
Praising him with heart and voice;
Till in his own blessed home,
We shall evermore rejoice.

(See Music at the end, No. 15.)

TIME is earnest,
Passing by ;

Death is earnest,

Drawing nigh;

Sinner, wilt thou trifling be?
Time and Death appeal to thee.

2

Life is earnest,

3

When 'tis o'er

Thou returnest

Never more;

Soon to meet eternity,

Wilt thou never serious be?

Heaven is earnest,

Solemnly

Float its voices

Down to thee.

Oh, thou mortal, art thou gay,

Sporting through thine earthly day?

47

4

Christ is earnest;

Bids thee "Come!"

Paid thy spirit's
Priceless sum.

Wilt thou spurn thy Saviour's love,
Pleading with thee from above?

7's.

1 YE that in these courts are found,
Listening to the joyful sound,
Lost and helpless as ye are,
Sons of sorrow, sin, and care,
Glorify the King of kings,
Take the peace the gospel brings.
2 Turn to Christ your longing eyes,
View his bleeding sacrifice;
See through him your sins forgiven,
Pardon, holiness, and heaven;
Glorify the King of kings,

48

Take the peace the gospel brings.

(See Music at the end, No. 7.)

1 CHILD of sin and sorrow,
Filled with dismay,

Wait not for to-morrow
Yield thee to-day:

Heaven bids thee come,
While yet there's room:
Child of sin and sorrow,
Hear and obey.

49

2 Child of sin and sorrow,

Why wilt thou die!

Come, while thou canst borrow
Help from on high:

Grieve not that love,
Which from above
Child of sin and sorrow

Would bring thee nigh.

8.7's.

1 COME, ye souls by sin afflicted,
Bowed with fruitless sorrow down,
By the broken law convicted,
By the tempter's snares undone,
Look to Jesus!

Mercy flows through him alone.

2 Sweet as home to pilgrims weary, Light to newly-opened eyes, Flowing springs in deserts dreary, Is the rest the Cross supplies: All who taste it

Shall to rest immortal rise.

3 Blessed are the eyes that see him ; Blest the ears that hear his voice; Blessed are the souls that trust him, And in him alone rejoice;

His commandments

Then become their happy choice.

50

(See Music at the end, No. 10.)

1 RETURN, O wanderer, to thy home,
Thy Father calls for thee ;

No longer now an exile roam
In guilt and misery.

Return! return!

2 Return, O wanderer, to thy home,
'Tis Jesus calls for thee;

The Spirit and the bride say, Come-
Oh, now for refuge flee!

Return! return!

3 Return, O wanderer, to thy home,
'Tis madness to delay;
There are no pardons in the tomb,
And brief is mercy's day.

51

Return! return!

104th.

1 O TURN ye, O turn ye, for why will you die? [nigh; When God in great mercy is coming so Now Jesus invites you, the Spirit says,

Come, [home. And angels are waiting to welcome you 2 How vain the delusion, that while you

delay [away; Your hearts may grow better by staying Come wretched, come starving, come happy to be, While the streams of salvation are flowing

[so free.
