the profits of the present shall be conscientiously abserved. We must therefore earnestly entreat you, if you have any respect for the authority of the Conferences, or of us, or any regard for the prosperity of the Connexion, to purchase no Hymn-Books, but what are signed with the names of your Bishops. And as we intend to keep a constant supply, the complaint of our congregations, "that they cannot procure our Hymn-Books," will be stopped.

We exhort you to sing with the spirit and with the understanding also: and thus may the high praises of GOD be set up from East to West, from North to South; and we shall be happily instrumental in leading the derotion of thousands, and shall rejoice to join you in time and eternity.

We are,

Dear Brethren,

Your faithful Pastors in Christ,

WILLIAM M'KENDREE,

ENOCH GEORGE,

ROBERT R. ROBERTS.

AWAKENING AND INVITING.

Hymn 1. C. M.

FOR a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer's praise;
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of his grace.

2 My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,

To spread through all the earth abroad,
The honours of thy name.

3 Jesus, the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
"Tis music in the sinner's ears;
'Tis life, and health, and peace.

4 He breaks the power of cancell'd sin,
He sets the pris'ner free;

His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood avail'd for me.

5 Look unto him, ye nations, own
Your God, ye fallen race;

Look, and be sav'd through faith alone,
Be justified by grace!

6 See all your sins on Jesus laid! The Lamb of God was slain;

1

His soul was once an off'ring made,
For every soul of man.

With me (your chief) ye then shall know,
Shall feel your sins forgiven;
Anticipate your heaven below,
And own that love is heaven.

Hymn 2. P. M.

YOME, ye sinners, poor and needy, Weak and wounded, sick and sore, Jesus ready stands to save you, Fall of pity, love, and power; He is able,

He is willing, doubt no more.
2 Now, ye needy, come and welcome,
God's free bounty glorify;

True belief and true repentance,
Every grace that brings you nigh;
Without money

Come to Jesus Christ and buy.
3 Let not conscience make you linger:
Nor of fitness fondly dream:
All the fitness he requireth,
Is to feel your need of him;
This he gives you,

'Tis the Spirit's glimm'ring beam.
4 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden,
Brais'd and mangled by the fall,
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all;
Not the righteous,

Sinners Jesus came to call.

5 Agonizing in the garden,

Lo! your Maker prostrate lies!
On the bloody tree behold him!
Hear him cry before he dies,
"It is finish'd!"

Sinners, will not this suffice?
6 Lo! th' incarnate God ascending,
Pleads the merit of his blood;
Venture on him, venture freely,
Let no other trust intrude;
None but Jesus

Can do helpless sinners good.

7 Saints and angels, join'd in concert,
Sing the praises of the Lamb,
While the blissful seats of heaven,
Sweetly echo with his name.
Hallelujah!

Sinners here may do the same.

Hymn 3. L. M.

COME, sinners, to the gospel-feast,

Let every soul be Jesu's guest;

Ye need not one be left behind:
For God hath bidden all mankind.

2 Sent by my Lord, on you I call;
The invitation is to all;

Come all the world! come, sinner, thou All things in Christ are ready now.

3 Come, all ye souls by sin oppress'd, Ye restless wand'rers after rest;

Ye pour, and maim'd, and halt, and blind, In Christ a hearty welcome find.
