Good God, on what a slender thread,
Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
Great Lord of all thy churches, hear,
Give me the wings of faith, to rise,
God moves in a mysterious way,
Go, preach my gospel, saith the Lord,

TE dies! the Friend of sinners dies!
How oft, alas! this wretched heart,

H

How oft have sin and satan strove,

How long shall earth's alluring toys,

Hark the glad sound, the Saviour comes,
Hail, everlasting spring!

My dear Redeemer, and my Lord,

OW to the Lord a noble song!

Now is the accepted time,
Now in the heat of youthful blood,
No more, my God, I boast no more,
Now let our souls, on wings sublime,
Now shall my inward joys arise,
Now in thy praise, eternal King,
Nature with open volume stands,
Now begin the heavenly theme,

THOU, whose tender mercy hears,
O that my load of sin were gone!
O thou from whom all goodness flows,
O Lord, my God, in mercy turn,
Our souls, by love, together knit,
O thou that hear'st when sinners cry,
O for a glance of heav'nly day,

One there is above all others,
O Lord, our languid souls inspire,
Oft as the bell, with solemn toll,

Thy favours, Lord, surprise our souls
There is a fountain fill'd with blood,
Thou pity'dst him who once apply'd,

Thee will I love, my Lord, my tow'r,

The day is past and gone,
