HYMN 56. The Gospel Trumpet. ARK, how the gospel trumpet sounds, Thro' all the world the echo bounds, And Jesus Christ's redeeming blood Is bringing sinners home to God, And guides them safely by his word to endless day. 3 Hail all victo'rous conqu'ring Lord, 3 Fight on, ye conqu❜ring saints, fight on, 4 Thy blood, dear Jesus, once was spilt, 5 Thro' storms and calms by faith we steer, By feeble hopes and gloomy fears, Till we arrive at Canaan's shore, Where sin and sorrow are no more, We shout our trials there all o'er to endless day. 6 Then we shall in sweet chorus join HYMN 57. C. M. A word of comfort to the Lambs of Christ.: B LESS'D be my God that I was born, That I was born to be baptiz'd, 2 Bless'd be my God for what I see, I hear such blessed news from heav'n, 3. I hear my Lord for me was born,, 4 On high he stands to plead my cause,, And set me on a glor'ous throne 5 Glory to God the Father be, HYMN 58. L. M. Not ashamed of Jesus.. ESUS, and shall it ever be, JES A mortal man asham'd of thee? Asham'd of thee whom angels praise; Whose glories shine thro' endless days 2 Asham'd of Jesus? sooner far, 3 Asham'd of Jesus? just as soon,- 4 Asham'd of Jesus that dear friend, 5 Asham'd of Jesus? yes I may, 6 Till then, nor is my boasting vain, 7 His institutions will I prize, HYMN 59. Baptism, believers only have a right to it. WH ́HEN John tho' a man, baptizing began, 2 The Pharisees came in Abraham's name, 3 You vipers said he, who warn'd you to flee; Bring forth your repentance that fruits we may see. 4 And think not indeed that you are Abraham's seed, And so for baptism a right for to plead. 5 By this we may see, babtism to be, For none but believers a privilege free. 6 Christ Jesus by name, from Gallilee came, For to be baptized and was not asham'd. 7 John to him did say, why com'st thou to me, For I have need to be baptized of thee. 8 O suffer it so, for't becomes us to show, All right'ous obed'ence wherever we go. 9 The rite was perform'd and Jesus return'd The blessing of th' father came down on the son. 10 The spirit of God descends like a dove And lights on our Saviour in tokens of love. 11 By this we may see, the whole Trinity, Unto our baptism doth jointly agree. 12 We'll not be asham'd of Jesus's name, He's precious unto us tho' sinners blaspheme. 18 We'll follow the Lord in his holy word, Obed'ence unto him great comforts afford. 14 We'll follow him down to the waters we're bound:;~ O sinners see what an example we've found. 15 Farewell to my friends, Farewell to my foes, Farewell to this vain world wherein sorrow grows. HYMN 60. C. M. Godly sorrow, arising from the sufferings of Christ. ALAS! and did my Saviour bleed? And did my sovereign die ? Would he devote that sacred head 2 [Thy body slain, sweet Jesus thine, 3 Was it for crimes that I had done, 4 Well might the sun in darkness hide, 5 Thus might I hide my blushing face, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, 6 But drops of grief can ne'er repay, The debt of love I owe ; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do. |
