My God, thy powerful aid impart,
My guardian and my guide.
6 O keep me in thy heavenly way,
And bid the tempter flee;

And let me never, never stray,
From happiness and thee.

IS religion that can give,
Sweetest pleasures while we live:

'Tis religion must supply

Solid comfort when we die.

2 After death its joys will be
Lasting as eternity!

Be the living God my friend,
Then my bliss shall never end.

E burden'd souls, to Jesus come,
You need not be afraid;

He loves to hear poor sinners cry,
He loves to hear them plead.

2 Ye humble souls, to Jesus come,
'Tis he who made you see

Your wretched, ruin'd, helpless state—
Your guilt and misery.

3 Christ is a friend to mourning souls,
Then why should you despair,
Since Saul and Mary Magdalene
Found grace and mercy here.

Burst, ye emerald gates, and bring, -

CALLED to a sense of duty, -

Children of Zion, what harp-notes, &c.
Christians, if your hearts be warm,

Come all ye sons of Zion,

Come Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
Come humble sinner, in whose breast,
Come let us anew, our journey pursue,
Come let us use the grace divine,
Come my brethren, let us try,
Come thou fount of every blessing,
Come, we that love the Lord,
Come ye disconsolate,

Come ye sinners, poor and needy,

DARK and thorny is the desert,
Descend celestial Dove,

Did Christ o'er sinners weep,
Drooping saints, no longer grieve,
FAREWELL, my brethren, all farewell,
Farewell my brethren in the Lord,
Farewell vain world, I bid adieu,
Fly, thou heavenly gospel message,
Friends, for whom a Savior died,
From Greenland's icy mountain,
From whence doth this union arise,

GLORY to God, that I have found,
Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,

HAIL, God the Father, heavenly, &c.
Hail, sweetest, dearest tie that binds,
Hail, thou blest morn, &c.

Hail, thou once despised Jesus,

Once more in the Redeemer's name,

Stop, poor sinner, stop and think,
Sweet the moments, rich in blessing,
Savior visit thy plantation,
