Ps. li. 9-13. 1 OH, turn, great Ruler of the skies, 2 Give me a will to thine subdu'd, S Oh, let thy Spirit to my heart 1 MY former hopes are fled, 2 My terror now begins; I feel, alas! that I am dead Ah, whither shall I fly? I hear the thunder roar; The law proclaims destruction nigh, 8 When I review my ways, 4 But sure a friendly whisper says, I see, or think I see, A glimm'ring from afar; A beam of day that shines for me, Forerunner of the sun, It marks the pilgrim's way; I'll gaze upon it while I run, And watch the rising day. 265. P. M. COME, my soul, thy suit prepare, Jesus loves to answer pray'r; He himself has bid thee pray, 2 With my burden I begin; 4 Show me what I have to do, Let me die thy people's death. 266. L. M. Confession and Repentance. 1 LORD, my God, in mercy turn, In mercy hear a sinner mourn! To thee I call, to thee I cry, O leave me, leave me not to die! 2 O pleasures past, what are ye now 3 For pleasure I have given my soul; Yet Jesus, Jesus! there I'll cling, 267. C. M. Repentance at the Cross. OH, if my soul was form'd for wo, 2 Twas for my sins my dearest Lora 3 O how I hate those lusts of mine Those sins that pierc'd and nail'd his flesh 4 Yes, my Redeemer, they shall die, Nor will I spare the guilty things 5 Whilst with a melting broken heart I'll raise revenge against my sins, 268. 1 C. M. Rom. vii. 9. Slain and reviving. SMOTE by the law, I'm justly slain; Pity a sinner fill'd with pain, ? Dread terrors fright my guilty soul— Gives sentence on this heart so foul. 3 'Tis trembling hardness that I feel; 4 My pray'rs, my tears, my vows are vile 5 Speechless I sink to endless night, But lo! what glory strikes my sight! 6 Enwrapt in these bright beams of peace, Swell, swell the note: Oh, tell his grace; Sound his high praise abroad! 269. 1 P. M. Renouncing the World. COME, my fond fluttering heart, Thou and the world must part, My trembling spirit owns it just, 2 Ye tempting sweets, forbear, My love ye must not share, 'Tis bitter pain, 'tis cruel smart, 3 Ye fair enchanting throng! Ye golden dreams, farewell! And now I break the spell: 4 But must I part with all? It beats, it throbs, it bleeds. 5 O yes, there is a balm, A kind physician there, My fever'd mind to calm, To bid me not despair: Aid me, dear Saviour, set me free; 60 may I feel thy worth, With thee, my Lord, compare: Now bid all worldly joys depart, And reign supremely in my heart!
