BOOK II. Together see their Saviour s face, And worship at his feet.

4 But they who heard the word in vain, Though oft and plainly warn d, Will tremble when they meet again The ministers they scorn d.

5 On your own heads your blood will fall If any perish here ; The preachers who have told you all Shall stand approved and clear.

6 Yet, Lord, to save themselves alone Is not their utmost view ; Oh! hear their prayer, thy message own, And save their hearers too.

1 ALAS! by nature how depraved, How prone to every ill ! Our lives to Satan how enslaved, How obstinate our will!

2 And can such sinners be restored, Such rebels reconciled? Can grace itself the means afford To make a foe a child?

Yes, grace has found the wondrous means Which shall effectual prove, To cleanse us from our countless sins, And teach our hearts to love.

4 Jesus for sinners undertakes, And died that we may live ; His blood a full atonement makes, And cries aloud, &quot; Forgive!&quot; *

5 Yet one thing more must grace provide, To bring us home to God, Or we shall slight the Lord who died, And trample on his blood.
