 Exhorting Sinners to return to God. 9

4 Come, and partake the gospel feast ; Be saved from sin ; in Jesus rest : O taste the goodness of your God, And eat his flesh, and drink his blood !

5 Ye vagrant souls, on you I call ;

(O that my voice could reach you all !)

Ye all may now be justified ;

Ye all may live, for Christ hath died.

6 My message as from God receive ; Ye all may come to Christ, and live ; O let his love your hearts constrain, Nor suffer him to die in vain !

7 His love is mighty to compel ;

His conquering love consent to feel ; Yield to his love's resistless power, And fight against your God no more.

8 See him set forth before your eyes, That precious, bleeding Sacrifice ! His offer'd benefits embrace, And freely now be saved by grace.

9 This is the time ; no more delay ; This is the acceptable day; Come in, this moment, at his call, And live for him who died for all.

HYMN 3. 10's §■ IVs.

1 f~ ALL that pass by, To Jesus draw near , ^S He utters a cry, Ye sinners, give ear ! From hell to retrieve you, He spreads out his

hands ; Now, now to receive you, He graciously stands.

2 If any man thirst, And happy would be, The vilest and worst May come unto me ; May drink of my Spirit, Excepted is none, Lay claim to my merit, And take for his own.
