1.

Go, watch and pray! thou caust not tell How near thine hour may be;
Thou canst not know how soon the bell May toll its notes for thee.

9:3

Death's countless snares be - set thy way! Frail child of dust, go watch and pray!

9:

386. Es & 6s.

2. Fond youth, while free from blighting care, Does thy firm pulse beat high?

Do hope's glad visions, bright and fair,
Dilate before thine eye?

Soon these must change, must pass away;
Frail child of dust, go watch and pray.

3. Thon aged man, life's wintry storm Hath scared thy vernal bloom;

With trembling limbs, and wasting form,
Thou 'rt bending o'er thy tomb:
And can vain hope lead thee astray?
Go, weary pilgrim, watch and pray.
4. Ambition, stop thy panting breath!
Pride, sink thy lifted eye!
Behold the caverns, dark with death,
Before you open lie:

The heavenly warning now obey;
Ye sons of pride, go watch and pray.

TO-DAY THE SAVIOUR CALLS. 6s & 4s.

L. MASON.

1. To-day the Saviour calls Ye wand'rers, home: O, ye benighted souls Why longer roam?

[blocks in formation]

1. Oh, there will be mourning Before the judgment-seat, When this world is burning, Beneath Jehovah's

feet. Friends and kindred there will part, Will part to meet no more; Wrath will sink the

rebel's heart, While saints on high adore. Oh! there will be mourning Before the judgment-seat

390. 6s & 7s.

2. O, there will be mourning Before the judgment seat! When the trumpet's warning

The sinner's car shall greet! 3. O, there will be mourning Before the judgment seat!

When, from dust returning.

Tho lost their doom shall meet.

4. O, there will be mourning Before the judgment seat; Justice, ever frowning,

Shall seal the sinner's fate.

HARK! THOSE HAPPY VOICES.

From Roor & SWEETSER'S Collection.

Thou that hear'st the prayer of faith, Wilt Thou not save a have no refuge of my own, But fly to what my

2

soul from death, God hath done,

[blocks in formation]

2. Slain in the guilty sinner's stead,
His spotless righteousness I plead,
And his availing blood;

That righteousness my robe shall be,
That merit shall atone for me,

And bring me near to God.

3. Then save me from eternal death,
The spirit of adoption breathe,
His consolations send;

By Him some word of life impart.
And sweetly whisper to my heart-
"Thy Maker is thy Friend."

4. The king of terrors then would be
A welcome messenger to me,
To bid me come away:
Unclogged by earth, or earthly things,
I'd mount, I'd fly, with eager wings,
To everlasting day.

394. C. P. M.

TOPLADY.

1. My days, my weeks, my months, my years, Fly rapid as the whirling spheres

Around the steady pole;

Time, like the tide, its motion keeps,
And I must launch through endless deeps.
Where endless ages roll.

2. The grave is near the cradle seen,
How swift the moments pass between!
And whisper as they fly-
Unthinking man, remember this,
Thou, 'midst thy sublunary bliss,

Must groan, and gasp, and die!

3. But shall my soul be then extinct,
And cease to be, or cease to think?
Great God! it can not be;
Thou! my immortal, can not die,
What wilt thou do, or whither fly,
When death shall set thee free?

4. My soul, attend the solemn call,
Thine earthly tent must quickly fall,
And thou must take thy flight,
Beyond the vast ethereal blue,
To love and sing as angels do,
Or sink in endless night.

395. C. P. M.

GREEN.

1. WHAT is the world?-a wildering maze, Whose sin hath track'd ten thousand ways,

Her victims to ensnare;

All broad and winding, and aslope,
All tempting with perfidious hope,
All ending in despair.

2. Millions of pilgrims throng these roads,
Bearing their baubles or their loads
Down to eternal night;
One only path that never bends,
Narrow, and rough, and steep, ascends
From darkness into light.

3. Is there no guide to show that path?
The Bible! He alone that hath
The Bible need not stray;
But he who hath and will not give
The light of life to all that live,
Himself shall lose the way.

MONTGOMERY.
