, IT. II.] HYMNS. 521
He fix’d the seas what hounds to keep.
And where the hills must stand.
Come, and with humble souls adore,
Come, kneel before his face;
0 may the creatures of his pow’r
Be children of his grace!
INow is the time: he bends his ear,
i And waits for your request;
|Come, lest he rouse his wrath and swear
1 “ Ye shall not see my rest.”
521.
I’Ae Invitation of the Gospel; or. Spiritual Food and
Clothing. Isaiah Iv. 1, &c.
T ET ev’ry mortal ear attend,
And ev’ry heart rejoice,
The trumpet of the gospel sounds
With an inviting voice.
, Ho, all ye hungry starving souls,
a That feed upon the wind,
’ And vainly strive with earthly toys
To fill an empty mind.
’Eternal Wisdom has prepar’d
' A soul-reviving feast.
And bids your longing appetites
The rich provision taste.
Ho, ye that pant for living streams,
I And pine away and die.
Here you may quench your raging thirst
With springs that never dry.
i Rivers of love and mercy here
In a rich ocean join;
Salvation in abundance flows,
Like floods of milk and wine.
