2 Ye lambs of my Redeemer,
The purchase of his blood,
Who feed among the lilies,
Beside the purple flood;
Go on ye happy pilgrims,
Your journey still pursue,
And at an humble distance,
I'll sing and follow too.

3 When I beheld your order,
And harmony of soul,
And heard divinest numbers,
In pure devotion roll;
Aud gems immortal glowing,
With such enliv'ning grace,
I view'd the Saviour's image
Impress'd on ev'ry face.
4 Speak often to each other,
To cheer the fainting mind;
And often be your voices
In pure devotion join'd:
Though trials may await you,
The crown before you lies;
Take courage, brother pilgrims,
And soon you'll win the prize.
5 Ye shall be mine, says Jesus,
In that auspicious day,
When I make up my jewels,
Releas'd from cumbrous clay;
He'll polish and refine you
From worthless dross and sin,
And to his heav'nly kingdom
Will bid you enter in.

6 On that important morning,
When roaring thunders sound,
And nimble lightnings waving,
Shall wing the gloom profound;
Lift up your heads rejoicing,
And clap your joyful hande,

Lo! you're redeem'd for ever
From death's corrupted bands.
7 The golden bells will echo
Around the sacred hill,
And sweet immortal anthems
The vocal regions fill;
In everlasting beauty

The shining millions stand,
Safe on the Rock of Ages,
Amid the promis'd land.
8 We'll range the wide dominion
Of our Redeemer round,
And in dissolving raptures,
Be lost in love profound:
While all the heav'nly harpers
Begin the lasting song,
With hallelujahs rolling
From the unnumber'd throng.

HYMN 36. P. M.

THEN Hannah, press'd with grief,
Pour'd forth her soul in prayer,

She quickly found relief,

And left her burden there;

Like her, in every trying case,

Let us approach the throne of grace.

2 When she began to pray,
Her heart was pain'd and sad ;
But ere she went away,

Was comforted and glad;

In trouble what a resting place,

Have they who know the throne of grace.

3 Though men and devils rage,
And threaten to devour;
The saints from age to age,

Are safe from all their power;

Fresh strength they gain to run their race,
By waiting at a throne of grace.

4 Eli her case mistook,
How was her spirit mov'd
By his unkind rebuke?

But God her cause approv'd:

We need not fear a creature's face,
While welcome at the throne of grace.

5 She was not fill'd with wine,
As Eli rashly thought;

But with a faith divine,

She found the help she sought:
Though men despise, and call us base,
Still let us ply the throne of grace.

6 Numbers before have tri'd,
And found the promise true;
Nor has one been deni'd,

Then why should I or you?

Let us by faith their footsteps trace,
And hasten to the throne of grace.

HYMN 37. P. M.

HE love which caus'd the light to shine,
To bring this world to order;

That love which blesseth men in tine,

With air, and fire, and water.

That love which bears with wicked men,
In all the wide creation,

Is the same love which mov'd the Lamb
To die for our salvation.

2 That love which fills the hosts above
With perfect consolation,

Among us fallen souls it moves,

In infinite compassion:

And when the Lamb pour'd out his blood,
All nature made confession;

Earth, rocks, and graves proclaim aloud
Its power to save creation.

3 Thus love and goodness sheds its worth,
To save us from destruction;

"Twas love that sent the Apostles forth
To give the world instruction:
The Holy Spirit on them came,
On Pentecost's sweet hour;
And churches were embodied then
By love's uniting power.

4 They, by one spirit were baptiz'd
Into a heaverly union!

They ate and drank the love of Christ, And this was their communion. Having a purifying hope,

It gave the consolation,

And in this love they were built up,
A spiritual habitation.

5 Let us be followers of them,
And walk in imitation
Of such examples as pertain
To goodness and salvation;
Love one another all you can,
In love which self abases;
O let the love of Jesus reign,
And fill the church with praises.
6 Let self and hatred quit the ground,
And pride, and all distraction;
Let heavenly charity abound,
The bond of good perfection:
And every one who hath this good,
And follows Jesus hearty,
Unites with all the saints of God,
Without regard to party.

7 Let party selfishness depart,
And leave the church for ever;
Let Jesu's love in every heart
Unite the saints together;
Let Jesu's love in every soul
Be held as a criterion;

Let every thing throughout the whole,
Abide by this decision.

8 Let sinners now behold this love,
And hear the proclamation,
That Jesus in compassion moves,
To give their souls salvation;
Let all the world believe the sound,
And seek the great salvation :
Let Jesu's love in all abound,
And fill the whole creation.

HYMN 38. P. M.

COME, all

ye Zion travellers, Come, let us join in praise;

Ye ransom'd now returning,
To Christ your voices raise:
Now crown'd with joy and gladness,
Let sorrows flee away,
And praise the Lord, that brought us
To see this happy day.

2 The watchmen of Jerusalem
Stand on her walls around,
With harmony unceasing
They swell the solemn sound:
So pure is their inten.ion,
While eye to eye they see,
Of Jesus they make mention,
To sinners night and day. ·
3 See prejudice subsiding,
And vanishing around,
Wnile discord and dissension
Are falling to the ground:
The humble-hearted pilgrims
The sweets of union prove,
And sinners stand amazed,
To see how Christians love.
4 No trifling non-essentials
Disjoin our loving hearts,
We drink into one spirit,
And never more will part
