BOOK II. 6 Make streams of godly sorrow flow From rocky hearts, unused to feel ; And let the poor in spirit know That thou art near their griefs to heal.

7 But chiefly we would now look up To ask a blessing for our youth, The rising generation s hope, That they may know and love thy truth.

8 Arise, Lord, afford a sign, Now shall our pray rs success obtain ; Since both the means and power are thine, How can the rod be raised in vain?

1 THE God who once to Isr el spoke From Sinai s top in fire and smoke, In gentler strains of gospel grace Invites us now to seek his face.

2 He wears no terrors on his brow; He speaks in love from Zion now ; It is the voice of Jesus blood, Calling poor wand rers home to God.

3 The holy Moses quaked and fear d When Sinai s thund ring law he heard: But reigning grace, with accents mild, Speaks to the sinner as a child.

4 Hark! how from Calvary it sounds, From the Redeemer s bleeding wounds! &quot; Pardon and grace I freely give ; Poor sinner, look to me and live.&quot;

5 What other arguments can move The heart that slights a Saviour s love! Yet till almighty power constrain, This matchless love is preach d in vain.

6 Saviour, let that power be felt, And cause each stony heart to melt!
