God who once to

Ifrael fpoke

From Sinai's top, in fire and fmokę,

In gentler ftrains of gospel-grace
Invites us, now, to feek his face.
He wears no terrors on his brow,
He speaks, in love, from Zion, now;
It is the voice of Jefu's blood
Calling poor wand'rers back to God,
Spirit divine, thy pow'r be felt,
Now caufe the ftony heart to melt!
By Jelu's love each neart constrain,
Nor let the word be preach'd in vain.

CXCVII. Another. As the 148th Pfalm. How highly blefs'd are they,

Who love and ferve the Lord;

Who jointly to him pray,

And liften to his word!

His word, which makes the fimple wife,
Where all our hope and comfort lies.
O may it now defcend,

Like gentle fhow'rs of rain i

May ev'ry foul actend;

And may it long remain.

Lord, give us food for many days,

And fill our hearts with love and praise. F

Another. C. M.

ET me not always, Lord, appear
Among thy faints in vain;

How many fermons do I hear?

How few do I retain ?

Let me not to thy tempie come,
And empty thence depart;
But may I gladly carry home
Thy treafure in my heart.

A bleffing, Lord, on me bestow,
Worthy thyfelf to give:
Let me retain it whilft below,
And on thy riches live.

CXCIX. Another. C. M.

OME, Holy Ghoft, cur hearts infpire,
Let us thine influence prove;

COM

Source of the old prophetic fire,

Fountain of life and love:

Come, Holy Gholt, for mov'd by thes

Thy prophets wrote and poke;
Unlock the truth, thyfelf the key,
Unfeal the facred book.

Open the hearts of all who hear,
To make the Saviour room;
Now let us find redemption near,
Let faith by hearing come.

CC. Another. L. M.

LORD, folemnize our trifling minds help us feriously to think,

A vait eternity is near,

And ev'ry foul is on the brink!

Lord, help thy minister to preach
"As if he ne'er should preach again !**
O may he speak as fent by thee,
"A dying man, to dying men!"

Now, may we all attend thy voice,
Before the day of grace is paft;
Nor dare thy present meffage flight,
For this, perhaps, may prove the last.

CCI. Another. P. M.

LORD of Harveft, our petition

We prefent before thy throne;
All thy fons, and their condition,
Unto thee are fully known.
Lord of Harvest!

Thou canst help, and thou alone.
Vaft the harvest of thy grace is,
Weak and few thy labourers are;
'Mongft the tares, in various places,
Lie the objects of thy care.
Bring thy chofen!

To thy church, and fix them there.
Pour rich measures of thy Spirit;
Blefs with ev'ry bleffing, Lord,
Thofe who thy rich grace inherit,
Those who labour in the word.
Help thy fervants !
Let the Saviour be ador'd.

CCII. Another. L, M.

AND will the great, th' eternal God,

Whofe potent hand the thunder forms, Defcend to this polluted clod,

And converse hold with finful worms?

Yes-Tis his word that chears our fouls-
His mighty word the promise gives
His word which shakes the starry poles-
His facred word which ever lives!

From his own lips the promise came:
When of his faints but two or three
Affemble in their Saviour's name,
There will the King of glory be.

F.

CCIII. Another. As the 104th Pfalm. THE HE law of the Lord is worthy our fongs, It is to his word our fafety belongs; For to its perfection all wifdom we owe, And by its direction, we're guided below. The fimple may learn where happiness lies, Their errors difcern, and quickly grow wife; The faints from this fountain, refreshment may gain,

And firm as a mountain, their faith fhall remain.

CCIV. Another. Pfal. lxxxv. 8. C. M.
THY promife, Lord, and thy command,
Have brought us here to-day;

And now, we humbly waiting stand
To hear what thou wilt fay.

Meet us, we pray, with words of peace,
And fill our hearts with love;
That from our follies we may cease,
And henceforth faithful prove.

CCV. Another. L. M.

LORD, in the temples of thy grace,

Thy faints behold thy Imiling face;

And we have feen thy glory thine,
With pow'r and majesty divine.

Return, O Lord, our fpirits cry,

Our graces droop, our comforts die;
