4 O, then, rouse thee from thy sleep; Wake, and o'er thy folly weep; Jesus calls from death and night; Jesus waits to shed his light. 269. L. M. 6l. Anonymous. The Gospel gives Peace and Rest. 1 Peace, troubled soul, whose plaintive moan Hath taught these rocks the notes of woe; Cease thy complaints, suppress thy groan, And let thy tears forget to flow: Behold the precious balm is found, Which lulls thy pain, which heals thy wound. 2 Come, freely come; by sin oppressed, Unburden here the weighty load, Here find thy refuge and thy rest, And trust the mercy of thy God: Thy God's thy Father,--glorious word! Forever love and praise the Lord. 3 As spring the winter, day the night, Peace sorrow's gloom shall chase away, And smiling joy, a seraph bright, Shall tend thy steps and near thee stay; Whilst glory weaves th' immortal crown, And waits to claim thee for her own. 270. 7s. M. 8l. Bowring. Invitation. 1 Pilgrim, burdened with thy sin, Come the way to Zion's gate, There, till mercy speaks within, Knock, and weep, and watch and wait-- Knock--he knows the sinner's cry, Weep--he loves the mourner's tears, Watch--for saving grace is nigh, Wait--till heavenly grace appears. 2 Hark, it is thy Saviour's voice! "Welcome, pilgrim, to thy rest." Now within the gate rejoice, Safe, and owned, and bought and blest-- Safe--from all the lures of vice, Owned--by joys the contrite know, Bought--by love and life the price, Blest--the mighty debt to owe! 3 Holy pilgrim! what for thee, In a world like this, remains? From thy guarded breast shall flee Fear, and shame, and doubt and pains-- Fear--the hope of heaven shall fly, Shame--from glory's view retire, Doubt--in full belief shall die, Pain--in endless bliss expire. 271. C. M. Anonymous. The Same. 1 Bright was the guiding star that led, With mild benignant ray, The Gentiles to the lowly shed Where the Redeemer lay. 2 But lo! a brighter, clearer light Now points to his abode It shines through sin and sorrow's night To guide us to our Lord. 3 O haste to follow where it leads; The gracious call obey, Be rugged wilds, or flowery meads, The Christian's destined way. 4 O gladly tread the narrow path While light and grace are given; We'll meekly follow Christ on earth, And reign with him in heaven. 272. C. M. Collyer. Call to the Wandering. 1 Return, O wanderer, now return, And seek thy Father's face; Those new desires, which in thee burn, Were kindled by his grace.
