I join and sing, and shout aloud,
And disregard the gazing crowd,
Glorious theme of exultation,
Jesus Christ is my salvation!
4. Worldlings hold me in disdain,
Because I slight their carnal pleasure ;
All in this that gives me pain,

Is, they slight a noble treasure.
But among them, bless the Lord,
"There's some that tremble at his word,
And this doth joy to me impart,

To think the Lord has reach'd their heart,
O the praise to God be given,

Peace on earth and crowns in heaven.
5. Why should I regard the frowns [me?
Of those who mock, deride and slight
Soon I'll lie beneath the ground,
Beyond the reach of those who hate me.
Toil and pain and suff rings o'er,
I'll gain the blissful happy shore;
And with the shining host above,
I'll sing and shout redeeming love,
Pleasures there beyond expression,
Ever flow in sweet succession.

6.

PART SECOND.

When I hear the pleasing sound Of weeping mourners just converted, The dead's alive, the lost is found,

The Lord has heal'd the broken hearted, When I join to sing his praise,

My heart in holy raptures rise;
I view Immanuel's land afar,
I shout and wish my spirit there.
Glory, horor, and salvation,
What I feel is past expression.

7. Mourners, see your Saviour stand,
With arms extended to receive you;
See! he spreads his bleeding hands,
Come, venture on him, he'll relieve you,
Cast all your doubts and fears aside,
The door of mercy's open wide,

The fountain flows that saves from sin,
Come, now believe, and enter in;
Don't distrust your blessed Saviour,
Now believe, and live forever.

8. Sinners, you may mock and scorn, Your moments lost will be lamented; That awful day is hastening on,

When you will wish you had repented; Death, in its embraces cold,

Will soon your mortal bodies hold,
Your pleasures then will take their flight,
And down you'll sink to endless night.
While you're of that guilty number,
Your damnation doth not slumber.

9. Come, poor sinners, go with me,
My heart's enlarg'd to receive you;
Slight not inercy offer'd free.
Venture on him, he'll relieve you;
But if you offer'd grace refuse,

And still the way of folly choose,
Unhappy souls, your guilt and blood
Will rest on your defenceless heads;
Darkness, torment, pain and sorrow,
May be your's before to-morrow.
HYMN 16. P. M.

While shepherds in Jewry were guarding their sheep,
Promiscuously seated, estranged from sleep,
An angel from heaven presented to view,
And thus he accosted the trembling few:
Dispel all your sorrows, and banish you fears,
For Jesus your Saviour in Jewry appears.
2. When Adam the first in rebellion was found,
Forbidden to tarry on hallowed ground;
Now Adam the second appear to retrieve
The lose you sustain'à by the devil and Eve,
Then shepherds be tranquil, this instant arise,
Go visit the Saviour and see where he lies.
3. A token I leave you whereby you may find
This heavenly stranger, this friend to mankind;
A manger his cradle, a stall his abode.
The oxen are near him beholding your Lord.
Then shepherds be humble, be meek and lie low,
For Jesus your Saviour's abundantly so.

4. This wondrous story scarce blow'd on the ear,
When thousands of angels in glory appear;
They join in the concert, and this was the theme,
All glory to God and good will toward men.
Then shepherds strike in, join your voice to the choir,
And catch a few sparks of celestial fire.

5 Hosannah, the adoring shepherds now cried,
Hosannah, the angels in glory replied;

Salvation through Jesus to mortals made known.
lu glory to God through the birth of his Son.
Now shepherds adieu, we commend you to God,
Go visit the Son in his bumble abode.

6. To Bethlehem's city the shepherds repair'd,

For full confirmation of what they had heard
They enter'd the, stable with aspects so mild,
And there they beheld both the mother and child.
Then make proclamation, divulge it abroad,
That Jews and the Gentiles may hear of the Lord.
HYMN 17. L. M-

There is a school on earth begun,

Halle hallelujah,

Supported by the holy One;

Glory, O hallelujah

He calls his pupils for to prove

Halle hallelujah,

The greatness of redeeming love,

Sing glory, O hallelujah.

2. Then come my friends where'er you Say will you go to school with me; [be, Christ Jesus is my master's name,

Come deaf & dumb, come blind and lame..
3. Our school-books are the scriptures true
Our lessons are forever new;
The scholars too are all agreed,

It is a blessed school indeed.

4. My master learns the blind to see..
Then come ye blind, the school is free;
My master learns the lame to walk,
He also learns the dumb to talk.
5. My master learns the deaf to hear,
Then come ye deaf and lend an ear
Unto my masters pleasant voice,
He'll make your mourning souls rejoice.

He learns the swearing man to pray,

Then come profane, without delay, He'll change your tongue to speak his name,

And spread abroad a Saviour's fame.

7. Come brethren dear, who are at school, Attention pay to every rule,

'Tis best for those that mind their book, Who have all carnal joys forsook.

8. Our mortal frames must shortly die, Then we shall lay our school-books by ; We'll reign with master Jesus then, Glory to God, Glory, Amen.

HYMN 18. P. M.

Adieu my dear brethren, adieu !
Reluctant I give you my hand,
No more to assemble with you,
Till we on mount Zion shall stand,
My heart swells with tender regret,
To leave your embraces so soon,
Though heaven my course must direct,
And others succeed in my room.

2.

Your acts of benevolence past, Your gentle compassionate love, Henceforth in my mem'ry shall last, Though far from your sight I remove. While roving the wilds of the west, When through foreign regions I steer Still friendship, inspiring my breast, Shall then drop her own native tear. Our labors will shortly subside,
