On blessed Canaan's happy shores. 6. Arm'd with my helmet, sword and 9. I've fought through many battles sore 10. I have a sword, which, when I wield, 10. Come, sinners, then enlisted be, HYMN 38. S. M. How can I vent my grief? My comforter is fled ! By day I sigh without relief, And groan upon my bed. 2. I once enjoyed my Lord; Liv'd happy in his love; Delighted in his holy word, And sought my rest above. 3. This world I did despise, With all its gaudy show; Thro' faith in Christ turn'd off my eyes From vanities below. 4. I then could praise the Lord, I knew his grace did peace afford, 6. How little did I think, To join a little with the world, 7. I thought I might conform, Converse and dress as others did, 8. My confidence is gone, I find no words to say; Barren and lifeless is my soul, 10. My soul! this will not do, I must repent and turn to God; 11.

It was for sinners Jesus died; Sinners he invites to come; None that come shall be denied, He says there still is room. For Jesus' sake, I pray you stop, &c. HYMN 40. P. M. The gospel ship is sailing by, O there'll be glory, glory, O hallelujah, When we the Lord embrace. 2. Come, fathers, will you go with me? Come, mothers, will you go with me? Eternity you soon must see, O ha te, prepare to die; O there'll be glory, &c. When saints shall reign on high. 3. Come, brothers, will you go with me? O there'll be glory, &c. When all the saints get home. 4. The judgment day is rolling on, |
