No price is demanded, the Saviour is here, Redemption is purchased, salvation is free. 2 Delay not, delay not; why longer abuse The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God? A fountain is opened,-how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in his pardoning blood? 3 Delay not, delay not; the Spirit of grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take its sad flight, And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the gloom of eternity's night. 55 Tune, Nuremburg.

PRAYER MEETING TUNE BOOK, PAGE 80. "He will abundantly pardon." ISAIAH lv. 7. 8, 7, 4. SINNERS, will ye scorn the message, Every sentence, Ö, how tender! Every line is full of love. 2 Hear the heralds of the Gospel, Free forgiveness in his name! 3 Tempted souls, they bring you succour; Chase away the falling tears: Chase away the falling tears. 57 Tune, Ward. PRAYER MEETING TUNE BOOK, PAGE 18. L. M. "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." REV. iii. 20. BEHOLD a stranger at the door, He gently knocks, has knocked before, Hath waited long,-is waiting still; You treat no other friend so ill. 2 O, lovely attitude! He stands With melting heart and loaded hands! 3 Admit him, ere his anger burn, 58 Tune, Zephyr. PRAYER MEETING TUNE BOOK, PAGE 19. L. M. "Return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy." ISAIAH lv. 7. RETURN, O wanderer, return, And seek an injured Father's face; Those warm desires that in thee burn, 2 Return, O wanderer, return, And seek a Father's melting heart; 3 Return, O wanderer, return, Thy Saviour bids thy spirit live; Go to his bleeding feet, and learn How freely Jesus can forgive. 4 Return, O wanderer, return, And wipe away the falling tear; 'Tis God who says, "No longer mourn," 'Tis Mercy's voice invites thee near. 59 Tune, Zion.

P. M. HOU God of glorious majesty, A half-awakened child of man; 2 Lo! on a narrow neck of land, A point of time, a moment's space, 3 O God! my inmost soul convert, And deeply on my thoughtful heart Eternal things impress; Give me to feel their solemn weight, 4 Before me place, in dread array, The pomp of that tremendous day, When thou in clouds shalt come To judge the nations at thy bar: And tell me, Lord, shall I be there, To meet a joyful doom? 5 Be this my one great business here, 6 Then, Saviour, then my soul receive, Transported from this vale, to live And reign with thee above: Where faith is sweetly lost in sight, And hope, in full supreme delight, And everlasting love. |
