Acts xvii. 30.

1 REPENT, the voice celestial cries,

Nor longer dare delay:
The wretch that scorns the mandate

And meets a fiery day.
2 No more the sov'reign eye of God

O'erlooks the crimes of men;
His heralds are despatch'd abroad

To warn the world of sin.
3 Together in his presence bow,

And all your guilt confess;
Accept the offer'd Saviour now,

Nor trifle with his grace.
4 Bow, ere the awful'trumpet sound,

And call you to his bar:
For mercy knows th' appointed bound

And turns to vengeance there. 5 Amazing love, that yet will call,

And yet prolong our days!
Our hearts, subdu'd by goodness, fall,
And

weep, and love, and praise.

Luther's Hymn. Old Hundred.
The wreck of nature. Isa. xxiv. 18
HOW great, how terrible that God-

Who shakes creation with his na
He frowns-earth, sea, all nature's fra

Sink in one universal flame.
2 Where now, oh, where shall sinners s

For shelter in the general wreck!
Shall falling rocks be o'er them throw-
See rocks, like snow dissolving down.

3 In rain for mercy now they cry,
AD

In lakes of liquid fire they lie;
There on the flaming billows tost,
Forever-oh, for ever lost!
# But saints, undaunted and serene,

With calmness view the dreadful scene;
Their Saviour lives, the worlds expire;
And earth and skies dissolve in fire.
5 Jesus, the helpless creature's friend,

To thee my all I dare commend;
Thou canst preserve my feeble soul,
l'hen lightnings blaze from pole to pole.

Sinner, prepare to meet God.
INNER, art thou still secure?

Wilt thou still refuse to pray? n thy heart or hands endure u the Lord's avenging day? his mighty arm is bar'd! wful terrors clothe his brow! his judgment stand prepard, ou must either break or bow. is presence nature shakes, uth affrighted hastes to flee; mountains melt like wax,

at will then become of thee: his advent may abide :

that glory in your shame, ou find a place to hide, en the world is wrapt in flame: prepare us by thy grace!

we must resign our breath, r souls be call'd to pass ugh the iron gate of death.

6 Let us now our day improve,

Listen to the gospel voice;
Seek the things that are above;
Scorn the world's pretended joys.

Surry. Putney. God angry with the wicked. Ps. vii. 1

N angry God-a Judge severeWhile christians hope with humble fea

Let sinners tremble at his word. 2 His law condemns the wicked now,

And goodness seals their awful doom But wrath, tho' here unseen, and slow,,

Will burst, and burn beyond the tomb 3 Then, how may hope and peace be foun

My trembling, anxious heart inquires A hope secure on gospel ground,

No phantom which the world inspires 4 Dear Saviour, friend of sinners, hear,

And lift on me thy smiling face; Chase from my soul each doubt and fea And bid me taste thy cheering grace. HYMN 42. S. M. HYDE.

Apostacy. 2 Pet. ii. 22. 1 who in former days, Who seem'd to walk in wisdom's ways,

And told your happy state; 2 But now to sin draw back,

And love again to stray,
The narrow path of life forsake,
And choose the beaten way;

YE were found at "Zion's gate;

INVITING. 4 Tho your heart were made of steel,

Your forehead lin'd with brass;
God at length will make you feel,

He will not let you pass;
Sinners then in vain will call,

Those who now despise his grace, “Rocks and mountains on us fall,

And hide us from his face."

Clifford. Bray. Herman. The Saviour's invitation, John vi. I THE Saviour calls—let every ear

Attend the heav'nly sound;
Ye doubting souls, dismiss your fear,

Hope smiles reviving round.
2 For ev'ry thirsty, longing heart,

Here streams of bounty flow,
And life, and health, and bliss impart

To banish mortal wo.
3 Ye sinners, come, 'tis mercy's voice;

The gracious call obey;
Mercy invites to heav'nly joys

And can you yet delay?
4 Dear Saviour, draw reluctant hearts;

To thee let sinners fly,
And take the bliss thy love imparts
And drink, and never die.
