INVITATIONS OF THIS GOSPHL.
Here love, unchanging love, abounds,
A deep, celestial spring.
4‘ Whoever will ’—O gracious word !—
Shall of this stream partake ;
Come, thirsty souls, and bless the Lord,
And drink for Jesus’ sake.
5 Millions of sinners, vile as you,
Here have found life and peace;
Come, then, and prove its virtues too,
And drink, adore and bless.

Christ the only plea before God.
1 TT OW shall the sons of men appear,
11 Great God, before thine awful bar,
How may the guilty hope to find
Acceptance with th’ Eternal mind ?
2 Not vows, nor groans, nor broken cries.
Not the most costly sacrifice,
Not infant blood profusely spilt,
Will expiate the sinner’s guilt.
3 Thy blood, dear Jesus, thine alone,
Hath sovereign virtue to atone ;
Here we will rest our only plea,
When we approach, great God, to thee,
127 L. M.
Ask for the good old way.
I INQUIRING souls, who long to find
1 Pardon of sin and peace of mind,
Attend the voice of God to-day,
Who bids you seek the good old way.
