3 We learn Christ crucified 5 And here behold his blood; All arts and knowledges beside Will do us little good. We read the heav'nly word, In vain shall Satan rage Where wrath and lightning guard the page Where beams of mercy shine. HYMN 185. (C. M.) Call to Sinners. 1. MORTAL man, give o'er, repent, Repentance is a work too great 2 Why will you sell yourself to sin, Sin's wages and death's endless thing, 3 'Tis sin that makes your heart so hard, You can't receive God's word; Sin cannot dwell with God. 4 Stay, mortal man! why, why such haste To run death's road to hell? God warns you no more time to waste, 5 Behold, the gospel sun will set, And then it is too late; When darkness comes you'll group for light; Your dreadful loss regret. 6 When will you leave your cups 7 To you the God of mercies call, 9 O God, constrain this mortal man, 1 HE HYMN 186. (C. M.) Invitation to Sinners. ERE'S room for you, ye poor and blind, Jesus, the Saviour, calls to you, His blessings all belong. 2 The rich self-righteous feel no want, While empty guilty souls were fill'd 1 3 'Twas with our sins his soul was tried, Our punishment he bore; And sinners liv'd when Jesus died: He lives to die no more. HYMN 187. (P. M.) Confessing Jesus. ESUS is ris'n, behold he comes, JES Triumphant from the darksome tomb; Lose from the grave, that loathsome pris'n, And angels tell us Christ is ris'n. And angels, angels, angels, And angels tell us Christ is ris'n. 2 He burst the bands of death and grave, 1 HYMN 188. (C. M.) A Warning to Sinners. AWAY, you mockers, who despise Who count God's sacred truth but lies, 2. Well may you mock, and jest, and scoff, If you can quench the flames of hell, 3 But if you cannot purchase ease, 4 How shall you then God's power withstand Or how his vengeance bear; Since you reject his just command, Praying God for grace: 1 GRACIOUS Lord, incline thine ear! Faint and sick of love am I ; 2 Only Jesus I desire, Nothing else do I require; Give me CHRIST, or else I die. Give me CHRIST, or else I die. HYMN 190. (C. M.) Praying to God for pardon. For O, I greatly have transgress'd, 2 Jesus, I had not dared to pray, 3 Too long, alas! I have refus'd, 4 Jesus, thou bright and morning star, Who day eternal brings; Shine on me, Sun of Righteousness, 5 Pour forth the fountain of thy blood, To make thy Spirit whole; Let all thy merits, Lord, descend, 6 Increase my faith, confirm my hope, I L Desire to Worship.
