Hymn 196. 1. M. Weary souls invited to rest. Matt. xi. 28. }

"OME, weary souls, with sin distrest,

Come and accept the promis'd rest; The Saviour's gracious call obey,

And cast your glooiny fears away.
2. Oppress'd with guilt, a painful load;

O come, and spread your woes abroad.
Divine compassion, mighty love

Will all the painful load remove.
3. Here mercy's boundless ocean flows,
To cleanse your guilt and heal your woes;
Pardon and life, and endless peace;

How rich the gift! how free the grace! 4. Lord, we accept with thankful heart,

The hope thy gracious words impart;
We come with trembling, yet rejoice,
And bless the kind inviting voice.

Celestial

Hymn 197. Š. M.
AISE your triumphant songs,

To an immortal tune.
Let the wide earth resound the deeds

grace

has done. 2. Sing how eternal love

Its chief beloved chose,
And bade him raise our wretched race

From their abyss of woes.
3. His hand no thunder bears,

No terror clothes his brow; No bolts to drive our guilty souls

To fiercer flames below. 4. 'Twas mercy fill'd the throne,

And wrath stood silent by,

When Christ was sent with pardon down

To rebels doom'd to die. 5. Now, sinners, dry your tears,

, , Let hopeless sorrow cease; Bow to the sceptre of his love, And take the offer'd peace.

Hymn 198. C. M.

And ev'ry heart rejoice; The trumpet of the gospel sounds,

With an inviting voice. 2. Rivers of love and mercy here,

In a rich ocean join; Salvation in abundance flows,

Like floods of milk and wine.
3. The happy gates of gospel grace,

Stand open night and day;
Lord, we are come to seek supplies,
And drive our wants away.
Hymn 199.

C. M.
1. FOR a thousand tongues to sing

My dear Redeemer's praise !
The glories of my God and King,

The triumphs of his grace.
2. My gracious Master and my God,

Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad:

The honours of thy namc.
3. Jesus, the name that calms our fears,

That bids our sorrows cease : "Tis music in the sinners ears;

"Tis life and health and peace. 4. He breaks the pow'r of cancell'd sin,

He sets the pris’ner free ;

His blood can make the foulest clean ;

His blood avail'a for me.
5. Look unto him, ye nations, own

Your God, ye fallen race ;
Look, and be sav'd through faith alone,

Be justify'd by grace!
6. See all your sins on Jesus laid !

The Lamb of God was slain;
His soul was once an off'ring made,

For ev'ry soul of man. 7. With me-ye then your Lord shall know;

Shall feel your sins forgiv'n;
Anticipate your heav'n below,

And own that love is heav'n.

OME, ye sinners, poor and needy,

Weak and wounded, sick and sore,
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, love, and pow'r;,

He is able,

He is willing, doubt no more.

God's free bounty glorify;
Hope and Love, Faith and Repentance,
Are but gifts which bring you nigh;

Without money
Come to Jesus Christ and buy.

Nor of fitness fondly dream:
All the fitness he requireth,
Is, to feel your need of him :

This he gives you,

'Tis the Spirit's glimm'ring beam. 4. Come, ye weary, heavy-laden'd, Bruis'd and mangled by the fall,

If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all;

Not the righteous;
Sinners, Jesus came to call.

Nor suffer him to die in vain!, 3. His love is mighty to compel::

And fight against your God no more, 6. See him set forth before your eyes,

That precious bleeding sacrifice!.

And freely now be sav'd by grace!. 7. This is the time; no more delay!

The invitation is to-day;
Come in this moment, at his caik
And live for him who dy'd for all!.

Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home..
