BOOK II. 5 Lord! I have hated thee too long, And dared thee to thy face ; I've done my soul exceeding wrong In slighting all thy grace.

6 Now I would break my league with death, And live to thee alone ; Oh! let thy Spirit s seal of faith Secure me for thine own.

7 Let all the saints assembled here, Yea, let all heaven rejoice, That I begin with this new year To make the Lord my choice.

1 ZION, the city of our God, How glorious is the place ! The Saviour there has his abode, And sinners see his face !

2 Firm against every adverse shock Its mighty bulwarks prove ; Tis built upon the living Rock, And wall d around with love.

3 There all the fruits of glory grow, And joys that never die ; And streams of grace and knowledge flow, The soul to satisfy.

4 Come, set your faces Zion-ward, The sacred road enquire; And let a /union to the Lord Be henceforth your desire.

5 The gospel shines to give you light ; No longer, then, delay; The Spirit waits to guide you right, And Jesus is the way.

6 Lord, regard thy people s prayer, Thy promise now fulhll ; And young and old by grace prepare To dwell on Zion s hill.
