Faith. (cont.)

1	It boasts of a celestial birth,    And is the gift of God.
2	Jesus it owns a King,    An all-atoning Priest; It claims no merit of its own,    But finds it all in Christ.
3	To him it leads the soul,    When fill'd with deep distress; Appropriates his precious blood,    And trusts his righteousness.
4	Since 'tis thy work alone,    And that divinely free; Lord, send the spirit of thy Son    To work this faith in me.
5	Faith must obey her Father's will,    As well as trust his grace;

HYMN 7. Third Part. C.M.
A living faith.

1	MISTAKEN souls! that dream of heav'n,    And make their empty boast Of inward joys, and sins forgiv'n,    While they are slaves to lust.
2	Vain are our fancies, airy flights,    If faith be cold and dead: None, but a living pow'r, unites    To Christ the living head.
3	'Tis faith, that changes all the heart;    'Tis faith, that works by love; That bids all sinful joys depart,    And lifts the thoughts above.
4	'Tis faith, that conquers earth and hell    By a celestial pow'r: This is the grace that shall prevail    In the decisive hour.
5	Faith must obey her Father's will,    As well as trust his grace;

5	A pard'ning God is jealous still    For his own holiness.
6	When from the curse he sets us free,    He makes our natures clean; Nor would he send his Son to be    The minister of sin.
7	His spirit purifies our frame,    And seals our peace with God; Jesus and his salvation came    By water and by blood.

HYMN 7. Fourth Part. P.M.
A living faith.

1	BEGONE unbelief,    My Saviour is near;    And for my relief    Will surely appear: By pray'r let me wrestle, and he will perform; With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm.
2	Tho' dark be my way,    Since he is my guide,    'Tis mine to obey,    'Tis his to provide: Tho' cisterns be broken, and creatures all fail, The word, he has spoken, shall surely prevail.
3	His love, in time past,    Forbids me to think    He'll leave me at last,    In trouble to sink: Each sweet Ebenezer, I have in review, Confirms his good pleasure to help me quite through.
4	4 Determined to save,    He watch'd o'er my path;
