82 They felt an instinct for their young, But would not turn or stop.

3 Shall brutes, devoid of thought, Their Maker s will obey ; And we, who by his grace are taught. More stubborn prove than they ?

4 He shed his precious blood&amp;gt; To make us his alone ; If wash d in that atoning flood, We are no more our own.

5 If he his will reveal, Let us obey his call : And think, whate er the flesh may feel, His love deserves our all.

6 We should maintain in view His glory as our end ; Too much we cannot bear or do For such a matchless Friend.

7 His saints should stand prepared In duty s path to run ; Nor count their greatest trials hard So that his will be done.

8 With Jesus for our guide, The path is safe, though rough, The promise says, &quot; I will provide ; And faith replies, &quot; Enough !

1 WHEN first my soul enlisted My Saviour s foes to fight, Mistaken friends insisted I was not arm d aright :. So Saul advised David He certainly would fail, Nor could his life be saved Without a coat of mail.
