Protected by almighty power, HYMN 322. L. M. NAKED into the world I came, Naked I out of it shall go, And soon this perishable frame With mother earth shall rest below. 2 But O my soul, if born again, 1 With glory clothed upon shall rise, OF HYMN 323. C. M. D. Answers to Prayer. FT hast thou, Lord, in tender love, And sent thy Spirit from above, An unexpected guest; Oft when my prayer was scarce begun, And make thy pardoning mercy known, 2 Why this profusion of thy grace How canst thou to a sinner's cry, Thou hear'st mine Advocate on high, HYMN 324. P. M. The dying Parents. THOU faithful God of love, Call my little ones thine own, Give them all thy blessings, give; Keep them while on Earth they breathe Save their souls from endless death. 3 Whom I to thy grace commend, Into thine embraces take; Be her sure immortal Friend, Save her for my Saviour's sake; 4 Father of the fatherless, Husband of the widow prove; Tell me we shall meet above: HYMN 325. P. M. Helpless yet Happy. THOU, whose wise, paternal love Thy choice I thankfully approve, And, prostrate at thy gracious throne, I offer up my life's remains; I choose the state my God ordains. 2 Cast, as a broken vessel, by, Thy will I can no longer do; Thy power I may in weakness show; The strength he did for me procure, In weakness, weariness, and pain! For him that languished on the tree, 1 OUR HYMN 326. C. M. The gourd of Jonah. UR joy is a created good; Fades, (at the morning hour bestowed,) 2 Joy, by a violent excess, To certain ruin tegds; And all our rapturous happiness 3 In vain doth earthly bliss afford It rises like the prophet's gourd, HYMN 327. P. M. A last Prayer. IN age and feebleness extreme Who shall a helpless worm redeem! Strength of my failing flesh and heart! 'TH HYMN 328. L. M. Prayer at stated Times. 1 THUS, Lord, throughout my life would I At stated times thy grace implore, At morning, noon, and night, draw nigh. For mercy every moment pray, But glide insensibly away. To raptures of eternal bliss. 2 Let the infernal lion roar I still approach thy throne of grace, Daily present, as heretofore, My sacrifice of prayer and praise; Before my God, by Satan's host, Found on my knees might I but be, I'll glory that my life it cost, And die from man to live with Thee. T HYMN 329. C. M. Vain Repentances. TIMES without number have I prayed, Relapsing when thy hand was stayed, 2 Yet now the kingdom of thy peace, 1 HYMN 330. C. M. On recovering from Sickness. HEN on the margin of the grave, Why did I doubt my Saviour's art? Ah! why mistrust his will to save? W What meant that faultering of my heart. 2 'Twas not the searching pain within, 3 Of hope I felt no joyful ground, 5 Father of mercies, hear my call! And raise me by thy quick'ning power. 6 My nature re-exchange for thine; And death shall shake his dart in vain. 7 When I thy promised Christ have seen, And clasped Him in my soul's embrace, Possessed of my salvation, then- 1 Then let me, Lord, depart in peace, HYMN 331. P. M. The Christian. HO is as the Christian great, Bought and washed with Jesu's blood? Crowns he sees beneath his feet, Soars aloft, and walks with God. 2 Who is as the Christian wise? He has nought-for all hath given- 3 Who is as the Christian blest? Ile hath found the long-sought stone 4 Earth and heaven together meet, 5 Lo! his clothing is the sun, The bright Sun of Righteousness; He hath put salvation on Jesus is his beauteous dress. 6 Lo! he feeds on Living Bread, Drinks the fountain from above, Leans on Jesus' breast his head, Feasts for ever on his love. 7 Angels here his servants are, Spread for him their golden wings, Seat him by the King of kings. 8 Who shall gain that heavenly height? Who his Saviour's face shall see? |
