CHURCH MEETINGS.
Only thou our leader be,
And we still will follow thee.
202 0. M.
Desiring to run the Christian race.
1 LET me run the Christian race
v—' With diligence and speed ;
God’s word, his Spirit, and his grace
Do all to duty lead.
2 Did Jesus leave the realms of bliss,
To save from sin and hell ?
A love so wonderful as this
Calls for a glowing zeal.
3 Those who to Christ for refuge flee,
Should in his footsteps tread :
Our prophet, Priest, and King should be
Both trusted and obeyed.
203 L. M.
An invitation to renewed persons.
1 <^0ME in, ye blessed of the Lord,
Ye that believe his holy word ;
Your Saviour’s boundless goodness prove.
And feast on his redeeming love.
2 Why should you longer stay without?
Why should you longer fear and doubt ?
Why will you longer lingering wait ?
O enter now fair Zion’s gate.
3 Let every soul that’s born again,
No longer wait but now come in,
Yield to the Lord, and thence receive
Whate’er a pardoning God can give.
