INVITATIONS oh- TIIR GOSPKL.
     3  O sinners, sinners ! won’t you hear,
        When in God’s name I come ?
      Upon your peril don’t forbear,
        Lest hell should be your doom.
     1  What will your doom, poor mortals be,
        If destitute of grace,
      When you your injured judge shall see,
        And stand before his face ?
    5  Could you but shun that dreadful sight,
        How would you wish to fly
      To the dark shades of endless night,
        From that all-searching eye!
    6  But death and hell must all appear,
        And you among them stand,
      Before Christ’s awful, flaming bar,
        And wait his dread command.
    7  Let not these warnings be in vain,
        But lend a listening ear,
      Lest you should meet them all again,
        When wrapt in keen despair.
    125                C. M.
              Whoever will, let him come.
    1      WHAT amazing words of grace
      v--' Are in the gospel found !
      Suited to every sinner’s case
        Who knows the joyful sound,
    2  Poor, sinful, thirsty, fainting souls,
        Are freely welcome here ;
      Salvation like a river rolls,
        Abundant, free, and clear.
    3  Come then, with all your wants and wounds,
        Your every burden bring ;
                       99
