My foes subdue, my fears dispelI'll daily seek for who can tell? 3 Endanger'd or distrest,

To thee alone I'll fly, Implore thy powerful help, And at thy footstool lie;

My case bemoan, my wants reveal, And patient wait:-for, who can tell? 4 My heart misgives me oft,

And conscience storms within;
One gracious look from thee

Will make it all serene :
Satan suggests that I must dwell

In endless flames :-but who can tell? 5 Vile unbelief, begone;

Ye doubts, fly swift away;
God hath an ear to hear,

While I've an heart to pray:
If he be mine, all will be well-
For ever so ;-and, who can tell?

All things working for good.

TEM

EMPTATIONS, trials, doubts and fears, Wants, losses, crosses, groans, and tears, Will, through the grace of God, our friend, In everlasting triumphs end!

2 To those that him sincerely love, All trials do but blessings prove,

Whom God hath call'd and made his own, Nor fires can burn, nor floods can drown. 3 Lord, let this thought in deep distress Our hopes confirm, our spirits raise; 'Midst earth and hell's opposing pow'rs, We still are safe if thou art ours.

Glorying in the cross of Christ. 1LET others wrapt in self-conceit,

Boast in their wisdom and their wit;
Let them extol their gold and dross,
I'll glory in my Saviour's cross.

* While the self-righteous blind and rude,
Cry up
their native rectitude,

I'll seek revenge on all my pride,
And boast in Jesus crucified.

3 While they with curses on their heads,
Talk of their justice and their deeds,
I choose to sit at Jesus' feet,
And self-abasement is my seat.

4 Hither I'm brought by sov'reign grace;
I bless the means and love the place:
I bid all earthly joys begone,

And glory in my Lord alone.
5 Here I would tarry night and day,
Here would my soul forever stay:
O may I never, never rove,
Nor glory, but in Christ my Love.
CCLXVI. L. M. NEW SELEC.
Circumspection.

YE

E highly favour'd, who profess To love and practise holiness, You stand expos'd to earth and hell, And seriousness becomes you well. 2 Be circumspect in all your ways; And spread your great Redeemer's praise; Let his commands be your delight, This is well pleasing in his sight. 3. Labor to prove your faith sincere, In purity and holy fear;

Let all your conduct still express
The truth and power of godliness.
4 Look up to him whose blood was spilt
To ransom you from all your guilt;
His grace can all your sins subdue,
And help you both to will and do.
5 O love and rev'rence his dear name,
And let his glory be your aim:
So shall your souls escape distress,
And glory in his righteousness.

CCLXVII. L. M. NEW SELEC. Let us run our race with patience. LORD, can a helpless worm like me Attempt to make her way to thee? Yes; let me raise thy praises high, In weakness thou canst strength supply. 2 Through grace alone I have begun, Resolv'd the heavenly race to run: "Tis grace corrects me when I stray, "Tis grace upholds me in the way. 3 Run on, my soul, and still adore, Receiving still, still asking more; In Christ thy strength, thy wisdom lies, O look to him with stedfast eyes.

4 Look to that blood thy Saviour shed;
Thy Daysman dying in thy stead;
Behold him on the bloody tree!
Great was the love he bore to thee.

5 He having lov'd me unto death
Will love me to my latest breath;
Keep sight of him, my soul, and run,
He'll crown thee when thy race is done.

The law ineffectual to salvation.
HEN Jesus for his people died,
The holy law was satisfied:
Its awful penalties he bore;
It can demand and curse no more.
2 He having suffer'd in their stead,
The law in cov'nant form is dead;
Love rules them with a gentle sway
And they with sweet delight, obey.
3 Amazing love!-how rich, how free!
That Christ should die for such as we!
From hence, the holiest duties flow
Of saints above and saints below.

The vanity of Balaam's wish. Num. xxiii. 10.

TOW blest the righteous are,

HOW

When they resign their breath!

No wonder Balaam wish'd to share
In such a happy death.

2 "Oh let me die," said he,

"The death the righteous do; When life is ended, let me be Found with the faithful few."

3 The force of truth how great! When enemies confess,

None but the righteous whom they hate,

A solid hope possess.

4 But Balaam's wish was vain,

His heart was insincere:

He thirsted for unrighteous gain,
And sought a portion here.

5 He seem'd the Lord to know,
And to offend him loath;

But Mammon prov'd his overthrow,
For none can serve them both.
May we, O Lord, most high,
Warning from hence receive,
If like the righteous we would die,
To choose the life they live.

The witnessing and sealing spirit.
HY should the children of a king
Go mourning all their days?

WH

Great Comforter! descend and bring
Some tokens of thy grace,

2 Dost thou not dwell in all the saints,
And seal the heirs of heav'n;
When wilt thou banish my complaints,
And show my sins forgiv'n?

3 Assure my conscience of her part
In the Redeemer's blood!

And bear thy witness with my heart,
That I am born of God.

4 Thou art the earnest of his love,
The pledge of joys to come;
And thy soft wings celestial Dove,
Will safe convey me home.
