ial still, "And my eternal name. 3 "Such favours as a God can give "My royal grace bestows; "Ye thirsty souls come taste the streams "Where life and pleasure flows.] 4 ["The saint that triumphs o'er his sins, "I'll own him for a son, "The whole creation shall reward "The conquests he has won. 5 "But bloody hands and hearts unclean, "And all the lying race, "The faithless and the scoffing crew, "That spurn at offer'd grace, 6 "They shall be taken from my sight, "Bound fast in iron chains, "And headlong plung'd into the lake "Where fire and darkness reigns." 7 O may I stand before the Lamb, When earth and seas are fled! And hear the Judge pronounce my name With blessings on my head! 8 May I with those for ever dwell Who here were my delight, While sinners banish'd down to hell, No more offend my sight. Hymn 1:46.

The Christian race, Isa. 40. 28-31. 1 Awake, our souls, away, our fears, Let every trembling thought be gone; Awake and run the heavenly race, And put a cheerful courage on. 2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road, And mortal spirits tire and faint; But they forget the mig
