Hymn. Martha and Mary. 1 MARTHA her love and joy express'd 2 The principle, in both the same, 3 But Mary chose the better part, Her SAVIOUR's words refresh'd her heart ; And lost her time and temper too. 4 With warmth she to her sister spoke, 6 LORD, teach us this one thing to choose, Which they who gain can never lose ; Sufficient in itself alone, And needful, were the world our own. 7 Let grov'ling hearts the world admire, Thy love is all that I require! Gladly I may the rest resign, If the one needful thing be mine! Hymn. Disentangled from the World, and delighted with Christ. 1 LET worldly minds the world pursue, It has no charms for me; Once I admir'd it's trifles too, 2 It's pleasures now no longer please, Far from my heart be joys like these, 3 As by the light of op'ning day 4 Creatures no more divide my choice, His Name, and love, and gracious voice, 5 Now, LORD, I would be Thine alone, But may I hope that Thou wilt own A worthless worm like me? 6 Yes! though of sinners I'm the worst, For if Thou hadst not lov'd me first, Hymn. Crucified to the World by the Cross. 1 I THIRST, but not as once I did, 2 It was the sight of Thy dear cross First wean'd my soul from earthly things; And taught me to esteem, as dross, The mirth of fools, and pomp of kings. 3 I want that grace that springs from Thee, 4 For sure, of all the plants that share Hymn. World passing away.-Christian's Treasure above. 1 THOUGH all these things substantial seem, The world itself is but a dream, And soon must pass away: 2 How sweet to have their portion there, We then may hear, without a sigh, 3 How sweet to know the SAVIOUR's Name! 4 Then let a world of shadows go; It matters not, His people know Their treasure still is sure: 'Tis laid up there where nothing fades, No rust consumes, no thief invades ; And there it is secure. Hymn. Universal Praise. 1 PRAISE ye JEHOVAH'S Name, 2 Now let the trumpet raise There let the harp be found; 3 As His high praise ye sing, 1 2 He vital breath bestows; Hymn. General Praise. MEET and right it is to sing, Glory to our heav'nly King, The GOD of truth and grace. Thee, the first-born sons of light, Praise by day, day without night, |
