INVITATIONS OF THE GOSPEL.
2 The righteousness, th’ atoning blood
Of Jesus is the way to God ;
O may you then no longer stray,
But walk in Christ, the good old way.
3 The prophets and apostles too,
Pursued this way while here below;
Then let not fear your soul dismay,
But come to Christ, the good old way.
4 With cautious zeal and holy care,
In this dear way I’ll persevere,
Nor doubt to meet another day,
Where Jesus is, the good old way.

Ye must be born again.
1 OINNERS, this solemn truth regard
Hear, all ye sons of men,
For Christ the Saviour hath declared,
‘ Ye must be born again.’
2 Wliate’er might be your birth or blood.
The sinner’s boast is vain;
Thus saith the glorious Son of God ;
‘Ye must be born again.’
3 Our nature’s totally depraved—
The heart’s a sink of sin ;
Without a change, we can’t be saved ;
‘ Ye must be born again.’
4 Spirit of Life, thy grace impart,
And breathe on sinners slain ;
Bear witness, Lord, in every heart,
That we are born again.
5 Dear Saviour, let us now begin
To trust and love thy word,
