We'll sing around the throne of love, The name, the name of Jesus.

HYMN 38.

Poor wildered weeping heart.

OOR wildered weeping heart
What can relieve thee?

Come sinful as thou art,

Christ will receive thee:
Come though with woes opprest,
Soft is thy Saviour's breast,
There may'st thou sweetly rest,
There nought can grieve thee.

2 Come trembling timid soul,
Why this delaying;
Thunders that o'er thee roll,
Fall on thee straying;
Turn from destruction's ways,
Turn to the throne of grace;
There seek thy Father's face,
Weeping and praying.

3 Hence guilty fear and doubt,
Leave me forever;

Lord wilt thou cast me out?
Never-oh never;
From unbelief of mind;

From thoughts to sin inclined:
From flesh and hell combined
Thou wilt deliver.

HYMN 39. C. M.

CHORUS.

I weep, I mourn, I pray,
Oh Jesus now forgive.

H

Jesus I have come to thee,
My wanderings to deplore;

Wilt thou not set my spirit free?
My fallen soul restore?

Chorus.

2 My sins are more than I can bear,
Oh speak them all forgiven:
My soul away from earth I tear,
To seek a place in heaven.

Chorus.

3 Pity, O Lord, my helpless grief;
My soul's deep anguish see;
And grant me now that sweet relief,
Which none can give but thee.

Chorus.

4 Didst thou not die that I might live,
Might live thy love to know;
Oh let me now thy love receive,
And in thy favor grow.

Chorus.

PRAYER.

HYMN 40. C. M.

Putter'd or unexpress'd,
RAY'R is the soul's sincere desire,

The motion of a hidden fire,
That trembles in the breast.
2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear,

The upward glancing of an eye,
When none but God is near.

3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech That any lips can try

Prayer the sublimest strains that reach
The Majesty on high.

4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air;

His watchword at the gate of death;
He enters heaven with prayer.

5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice,
Returning from his ways;

While angels in their songs rejoice,
And say, Behold! he prays.

6 The saints in prayer appear as one,
In word, in deed, in mind,

When with the Father and the Son
Their fellowship they find.

7 Nor prayer is made on earth alone,
The Holy Spirit pleads,

And Jesus, on th' eternal throne

For sinners intercedes.

8 Oh! Thou, by whom we come to God,
The Life, the Truth, the Way;
The path of prayer thyself hast trod,
Lord, teach us how to pray.

HYMN 41. 4 11s and 1 6s.

To leave my dear friends, and with neighbors

to part,

And go from my home, it affects not my heart, Like thoughts of absenting myself for a day, From that blessed retreat where I've chosen to

pray.

Where I've chosen to pray.

2 Sweet bower, where the vine and the poplar are spread,

And wove, with their branches, a roof o'er my

head:

How oft have I knelt on the evergreen there, And pour'd out my soul to my Saviour in prayer, To my Saviour in prayer.

3 How sweet were the zephyrs perfum'd with the pine,

The ivy, the olive, the wild eglantine;

Yet sweeter, O sweeter, superlative were
The joys that I tasted in answer to prayer—
In answer to prayer.

4 'Twas under the covert of that blessed grove That Jesus was pleased my guilt to remove;

Presenting himself as the only true way
Of life and salvation, and taught me to pray-
And taught me to pray.

5 The early shrill notes of the loved nightingale,
That dwelt in my bower, I observed as my bell
To call me to duty; and birds of the air
Sang anthems of praises, as I went to prayer-
As I went to prayer.

6 And Jesus my Saviour oft deign'd there to meet,

And bless with his presence my lonely retreat; Oft fill'd me with rapture and peacefulness there Inditing in heaven's own language my prayer. Own language my prayer.

7 Dear bower I must leave you, and bid you adieu,

And pay my devotion in parts which are new; Well knowing my Saviour is found everywhere And can, in all places, give answer to prayerGive answer to prayer.

8 Altho' I may never revisit thy shade,

Yet oft shall I think on the vows I there made, And when at a distance, my thoughts shall repair To the place where my Saviour first answered my prayer

First answered my prayer.

9 My blessed Redeemer, my hope and my all,
Will guide and direct me when on him I call;
And when I am dying, he'll be with me there,
And take me to heaven in answer to prayer-

In answer to prayer.
