BOOK I. 3 &quot; The sinner, sleeping in his grave, Shall at my voice awake ; And when I once begin to save, My work I ne er forsake.&quot;

4 Fulfill thy promise, gracious Lord, On us assembled here ; Put forth thy Spirit with the word, And cause the dead to hear.

5 Preserve the power of faith alive In those who love thy name ; For sin and Satan daily strive To quench the sacred flame.

6 Thy power and mercy first prevail d From death to set us free ; And often since our life had fail d, If not renew d by thee.

7 To thee we look, to thee we bow, To thee for help we call ; Our life and resurrection thou, Our hope, our joy, our all.

1 MARY to her Saviour s tomb Hasted at the early dawn ; Spice she brought, and sweet perfume ; But the Lord she loved was gone. For awhile she weeping stood, Struck with sorrow and surprise, Shedding tears, a plenteous flood, For her heart supplied her eyes.

2 Jesus, who is always near, Though too often unperceived, Came, his drooping child to cheer, Kindly asking, &quot; Why she grieved?&quot; Though at first she knew him not, When he call d her by her name Then her griefs were all forgot, For she found he was the same.
