CHURCH MEETINGS.
2 Stay not within the wilderness,
Nor waiting at the door ;
Sweet Jesus will jour woes redress,
Were they ten thousand more.
3 Though fearing, trembling, rise and come
Yield to the Saviour’s voice ;
For hung’ring, thirsting souls there’s room
O make the blissful choice !
4 Room in the Saviour’s gracious breast—
That breast which glows with love ;
Room in the church, his chosen rest,
And room in heaven above.
5 Why will you longer lingering stay,
When Jesus says there’s room?
‘Now is the time, th’ accepted day,
Arise I he bids you come.’
1 SO S. M.
The Tord’s direction desired.
1 AY sacred awe possess
1V1 Our happy spirits, Lord,
While we shall hear thy saints express
Their interest in thy word.
2 Command their thoughts to peace,
Make plain what thou hast done ;
Renew to them that full release,
First granted in thy Son.
3 May we, thy people, hear,
And only such receive
As have for thee a filial fear,
And in thy Son believe.
4 May those in union join
With us their joyful lays,
