INVITATIONS OF THE GOSPEL. *
But now from Zion’s milder throne
The sofest strains of love are known ;
Hark, how from Calvary it sounds,
From the Redeemer’s bleeding wounds,
Rends temple-vail, and rocks, and land 1
Who can the force of love withstand?
4 What other arguments can move
The heart that slights a Saviour’s love ?
Yet till almighty power constrain,
This matchless love is preached in vain !
Dear Saviour, let that power be felt,
And cause each stony heart to melt;
Deeply impress upon our youth
The light and force of gospel truth.
5 O let them in this hour begin
To live to thee, and die to sin ;
To enter by the narrow way
Which leads to everlasting day ;
How will they else thy presence bear,
When as a Judge thou shalt appear ?
When slighted love to wrath shall turn,
And the whole earth like Sinai burn ?

TAe Jubilee.
1 DLOW ye the trumpet, blow
D The gladly solemn sound ;
Let all the nations know,
To earth’s remotest bound,
The year of jubilee is come,
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.
2 Exalt the Lamb of God,
The sin-atoning Lamb ;
