284 Let us now our day improve, Listen to the gospel-voice, Seek the things that are above, Scorn the world s pretended joys.

5 Oh ! when flesh and heart shall fail, Let thy love our spirits cheer, Strengthen d thus we shall prevail Over Satan, sin, and fear: Trusting in thy precious name, May we thus our journey end; Then our foes shall lose their aim, And the Judge will be our Friend.

1 SINNERS, hear the Saviour s call, He now is passing by ; He has seen thy grievous thrall, And heard thy mournful cry. He has pardons to impart, Grace to save thee from thy fears ; See the love that fills his heart, And wipe away thy tears.

2 Why art tliou afraid to come And tell him all thy case ? He will not pronounce thy doom, Nor frown thee from his face ; Wilt thou fear Emmanuel ? Wilt thou dread the Lamb of God, Who to save thy soul from hell, Has shed his precious blood ?

3 Think how on the cross he hung, Pierced with a thousand wounds ! Hark from each, as with a tongue The voice of pardon sounds ! See from all his bursting veins, Blood of wondrous virtue flow ! Shed to wash away thy stains, And ransom thee from woe.
