INVITATIONS OF THE GOSPEL,.
This world will then be all on fire,
And sinners’ hearts will quake with fear.
6 O pray to God for pard’ning grace,
That you may see his lovely face,
And you by faith may tread the road,
The narrow way that leads to God.
I And when the monster death appears,
The love of God may calm your fears,
Your souls mount up to God above,
And praise him for redeeming love.

Wisdom’s royal bounty
1 T I OW happy is the man who hears
1 1 Instruction’s warning voice,
And who celestial wisdom makes
His early only choice.
2 For she has treasurers greater far
Than east or west unfold ;
And her rewards more precious are
Than all their stores of gold.
3 In her right hand she holds to view
A length of happy days ;
Riches with splendid honors joined,
Are what her left displays.
4 She guides the young with innocence,
In pleasure’s path to tread ;
A crown of glory she bestows
Upon the hoary head.
5 According as her labors rise,
So her rewards increase ;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness
And all her paths are peace.
