Mercy's Free. P. M.

S By faith I see my Sa-viour dy-ing

On the tree,

1 {By fev-ry na-tion he is cry-ing Look to me,

[blocks in formation]

He bids the guilt-y now draw near, Re - pent, believe, dis-miss your fear.

Hark! hark! what precious words I hear, Mercy's free, mercy's free.

2 Did Christ, when I was sin pursuing, | Soon as I in his name believed,
Pity me, pity me?

And did he snatch my soul from ruin,
Can it be, can it be?

Oh yes! he did salvation bring;
He is my Prophet, Priest and King;
And now my happy soul can sing
Mercy's free, mercy's free.

3 Jesus, the mighty God, hath spoken
Peace to me, peace to me;
Now all my chains of sin are broken,
I am free, I am free.

76.

The Holy Spirit I received;
And Christ from death my soul reprieved
Mercy's free, mercy's free.

4 Long as I live I'll still be crying,
Mercy's free, mercy's free;
And this shall be my theme when dying

Mercy's free, mercy's free;
And when the vale of death I've passed
When lodged above the stormy blast,
I'll sing, while endless ages last
Mercy's free, mercy's free.

Christian Race.

As sung by Rev. G. C. Wells.

Arr. by Rev. A. C. Rose.

[graphic]

1 The Christian race is now be-gun, O, glo-ry, glo-ry, hal-le - lujah! We're striving for a heavenly crown, O, glo-ry, glo-ry, hal-le - lujah!

Chorus.

For the prize it lies at the end of the race, O, glory, glory, halle-lujah!

2 We'll run the race and gain the prize, | Then on a kingly throne sit down. Our heavenly mansion in the skies. 3 We'll lay aside our every weight, The way is narrow and straight the gate. 4 In earnest cry we'll wrestle long,

5 Omnipotence is on our side,
And God himself will be our guide.
6 Then when the race we've nobly run
He'll count us worthy of a crown.

Gospel Power. 8s & 7s. Arr. by Rev. L. H

[The last four lines of first stanza will be used as a Chorus.]

1{ in the }

Have you read that gracious promise Which is left up on record?

I will sprinkle you with wa-ter, I will cleanse you from all sin,

Sanc-ti-fy and make you ho-ly, I will dwell and reign with - in.

2 Though you have much peace and comfort, | 6 Be as holy and as happy,
Greater things you yet may find;
Freedom from unholy tempers,

Freedom from the carnal mind.
To procure your perfect freedom,
Jesus suffer'd, groan'd and died;
On the cross the healing fountain
Gushed from his wounded side.

3 0 ye tender babes in Jesus,

Hear your heav'nly Father's will, Claim your portion, plead his promise, And he quickly will fulfil. Pray, and the refining fire

Will come streaming from above, Now believe and gain the blessing, Nothing less than perfect love.

4 If you have obtain❜d this treasure,
Search and you shall surely find
All the Christian marks and graces
Planted, growing in your mind.
Perfect faith and perfect patience,
Perfect lowliness, and then
Perfect hope and perfect meekness,
Perfect love for God and man.

5 But be sure to gain the witness
Which abides both day and night;
This your God has plainly promis'd,
This is like a stream of light.
While you keep the blessed witness

All is clear and calm within; God himself assures you by it

That your heart is cleans'd from sin.

And as useful here below, As it is your Father's pleasure, Jesus, only Jesus know. Spread, O spread the holy fire, Tell, O tell what God has done, Till the nations are conformed To the image of his Son.

7 Witnesses might be produced

Of this glorious work of love, Paul and James, and John and Peter, Long before they went above. Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, Have, and do, and will appear; Let me ask the solemn question:

Has the Lord a witness here?

8 Wake up, brother, wake up, sister,
Seek, O seek this holy state,
None but holy ones can enter

Thro' the pure celestial gate.
Can you bear the thought of losing
All the joys that are above?
No, my brother, no, my sister,
God will perfect you in love.

9 May a mighty sound from heaven
Suddenly come rushing down,
Cloven tongues like as of fire,
May they set on all around.
O may every soul be filled

With the Holy Ghost to-day;
It is coming, it is coming,
O prepare, prepare the way.
