INVITATIONS OF THE GOSPEL.
And by forsaking every sin,
Prove we are born of God.
129 L. M.
Warning against hypoerieg.
1 DROAD is the road that leads to death,
13 And thousands walk together there ;
But wisdom shows a narrow path,
With here and there a traveller.
2 ’Deny thyself, and take thy cross,’
Is the Redeemer’s great command ;
Nature must count her gold but dross,
If she would gain this heavenly land.
3 The fearful soul that tires and faints,
And walks the ways of God no more,
Is but esteemed almost a saint,
And makes his own destruction sure.
4 Lord, let not all my hopes be vain;
Create my heart entirely new,
Which hypocrites could ne’er attain,
Which false apostates never knew.
130 L. M.
A solemn warning.
1 C INNER, O why so thoughtless grown I
O Why in such dreadful haste to die ?
Daring to leap to worlds unknown,
Heedless against thy God to fly !
2 Wilt thou despise eternal fate,
Urged on by sins delusive dreams ?
Madly attempt th’ infernal gate,
And force thy passage to the flames ?
