HERE is a house, not made with hands,
Eternal, and on high;

e And here my spirit waiting stands,
Till God shall bid it fly.

e 2 Shortly this prison of my clay
Must be dissolved and fall;
s Then, O my soul, with joy obey
Tay heavenly Father's call.
-3 'Tis He by his almighty grace,
Who forms thee fit for heaven;
And as an earnest of the place,
Has his own Spirit given.

4 We walk by faith of joys to coine; Faith lives upon his word; e But while the body is our home,

We're absent from the Lord. o

-5 'Tis pleasant to believe thy grace, But we had rather see;

o We would be absent from the flesh,
And present, Lord, with thee.

Salvation by Grace. Titus iii. 3, 7.

e 1 (ORD, we confess our numerous faults,

great our guilt has been! Foolish and vain were all our thoughts,

And all our lives were sin.

o 2 But, O my soul, forever praise,
Forever love his name,

Who turns thy feet from dangerous ways
Of folly, sin, and shame.)

-3 'Tis not by works of righteousness,
Which our own hands have done;

o But we are saved by sovereign grace Abounding through his Son,

"Tis from the mercy of our God, That all our hopes begin; "Tis by the water and the blood, Our souls are washed from sin.

p 5 Tis through the purchase of His death,
Who hung upon the tree,

The Spirit is sent down to breathe.
On such dry bones as we.

o 6 Raised from the dead, we live anew:
And, justified by grace,

8 We shall appear in glory too,

1

And see our Father's face.

The Brazen Serpent. 2 John, ver. 14—16.

10 did the Hebrew prophet raise
The brazen serpent high;

The wounded felt immediate ease,
The camp forbore to die.

d2" Look upward in the dying hour,
"And live!" the prophet cries!"
e But Christ performs a nobler cure,..
When faith lifts up her eyes.

-3 High on the cross the Saviour hung!
High in the heavens he reigns!
Here sinners, by th' old serpent stung,
Look, and forget their pains.

g 4 When God's own Son is lifted up,
A dying world revives;

The Jew beholds the glorious hope,
Th' expiring Gentile lives.

OW large the promise-how divine-
To Abra'am and his seed

"Supplying all their need."

-2 The words of his extensive love
From age to age endure ;-

The Angel of the covenant proves,
And seals the blessing sure

b 3 Jesus the ancient faith confirms,
To our great fathers given;

He takes young children to his armis,
And calls thein heirs of heaven.

His love endures the same;
Nor from the promise of his grace
Blots out the children's name.

GENTILES by nature, we belong

To the wild olive wood;

If pure and holy be the root,

Such are the branches too.

Conviction by the Lao. Rom. vii. 8, 9, 14, 24.
LORD, how secure my conscience was,

And felt no inward dread!
I was alive without the law,

And thought my sins were dead.

2 My hopes of heaven were firm and bright; But since the precept came,

With a convincing power and light,

I find how vile I am.

3 (My guilt appeared but small before,
Till terribly I saw,"

How perfect, holy, just, and pure.
Is thine eternal law.

C

e 4 Then felt my soul the heavy load, My sins revived again; D

1 had provoked a dreadful God,
And all my hopes were slain.)
p 5 I'm like a helpless captive, sold
Under the power of sin;

I cannot do the good I would,
Nor keep my conscience clean.
-6 My God, I cry with every breath,
For some kind power to save;
To break the yoke of sin and death,
And thus redeem the slave.

Matt. xxii. 37-40. THUS saith the first, the great command, "Let all thy inward powers unite,

"To love thy Maker, and thy God, "With utmost vigor and delight.

2 "Then shall thy neighbour, next in place, "Share thine affection and esteem; "And let thy kindness to thyself, “Measure and rule thy love to him.” 3 This is the sense that Moses spoke: This did the prophets preach and prove: For want of this the law is broke, And the whole law's fulfilled by love. a 4 But O! how base our passions are! How cold our charity and zeal! -Lord, fill our souls with heavenly fire, Or we shall ne'er perform thy will.

1 BEHOLD the potter and the clay!

He forms his vessels as he please;

Such is our God, and such are we,

The subjects of his just decrees.

2 [Doth not the workman's power extend O'er all the mass, which part to choose, And mould it for a nobler end,

And which to leave for viler use?],

e 3 May not the sovereign Lord on high
Dispense his favours as he will,

Choose some to life, while others die,
And yet be just, and gracious still?

d 4 [What if, to make his terror known, He lets his patience long endure, Suffering vile rebels to go on,

And seal their own destruction sure?
5 What if he means to show his grace,
And his electing love employs,
To mark out some of mortal race, ⠀
And form them fit for heavenly joys?]
-6 Shall man reply against the Lord, v
And call his Maker's ways unjust?

Can crush a thousand worlds to dust. ›
p 7 But, O my soul, if truth so bright,
Should dazzle and confound thy sight;
Yet still, his written will obey,
And wait the great decisive day.

And the whole world before his throne,
With joy or terror shall confess
The glory of his righteousness.

1T But peace and truth and love,

Were brought by Christ, a nobler name,
Descending from above.

2 Amidst the house of God,
Their different works were done;

Moses a faithful servant stood,

But Christ a faithful Son.

O'er all his Father's house he stands,
The Sovereign and the Head.

On that rebellious race,

Who hate to hear when Jesus calls,
And dare resist his grace.
