My words believingly receive ;
Quicken'd your souls by faith divine,
An everlasting life shall live."
HYMN 5. WstflVs.
1 nr^HY faithfulness, Lord, Each moment we find,
-*- So true to thy word, So loving and kind ;
Thy mercy so tender To all the lost race,
The vilest offender May turn and find grace.
2 The mercy I feel, To others I show,
1 set to my seal That Jesus is true :
Ye all may find favour, Who come at his call ;
O come to my Saviour, His grace is for all.
3 To save what was lost, From heaven he came \
Come, sinners, and trust In Jesus's name !
He ofTers you pardon; He bids you be free :
" If sin be your burden, O come unto me!"
J~ Exhorting Sinners to return to God.

4 () let me commend My Saviour to you ;
The Publican's Friend, And Advocate too :
For you lie is pleading His merits and deatli ;
With God interceding For sinners beneath.
5 Then let us submit His grace to receive;
Fall down at his feet, And gladly believe:
We all are forgiven, For Jesus's sake :
Our title to heaven, His merits we take.
HYMN 6. Ts.
1 CINXERS, turn, why will ye die?
^ God, your Maker, asks you why :
God, who did your being give,
Made yon with himself to live ;
He the fatal cause demands,
Asks the work of his own hands,
Why, ye thankless creatures, why
Will ye cross his love, and die ?
2 Sinners, turn, why will ye die?
God, your Saviour, asks you why :
God, who did your souls retrieve,
Died himself, that ye might live.
Will you let him die in vain ?
Crucify your Lord again ?
Why, ye ransom'd sinners, why
Will you slight his grace, and die ?
3 Sinners, turn, why will ye die ?
God, the Spirit, asks you why :
He who all your lives hath strove,
Woo'd you to embrace his love :
Will you not his grace receive?
Will you still refuse to live?
Why, ye long-sought sinners, win
Will you grieve your God, and die?
Exhorting Sinners to return to God. id
