35 Sometimes I think I stand alone,
There is not such another,

Sometimes I happen with a man
That is exact my brother.

36 Sometimes again I meet with those
Who scorn to call me so,

They are so good and I so bad,
We can't together go.

37 Sometimes I like to be alone,

Sometimes I cannot bear it,

Sometimes I feel the love of God, Sometimes I can declare it. 38 Sometimes I know the reason why I have these ups and downs,

My Father sees that smiles won't do, He tries me then with frowns. 39 Sometimes I'm led to see these frowns Are smiles in sweet disguise,

'Tis not the strong, the rich, the great, The lame shall take the prize.

40 Sometimes I would not change my case With princes on a throne,

Sometimes I triumph and rejoice,
Sometimes I sigh and groan.

41 Sometimes I wonder at myself,
At others wonder too,

Salvation cannot be of works,
What can the creature do?

42 Sometimes I strive with all my might, For doing seem inclin'd,

Sometimes no sooner I attempt
Than I have lost my mind.

43 Sometimes I think to give up all,
And strive and tug no more,

Sometimes I think I'll try again
To get at mercy's door.

44 Sometimes I get a smile from him,
Ah! then the world may frown,
How little then the world appears
When I can see my crown.

45 Lord, let it not be sometimes so,
But always thus with me,
To trust in nothing, O my God,
In nothing else but thee.

My Desires on a Sunday Morning.
1 WHERE shall I find my God to-day?
Where do God's people meet to pray?
For I would join in praise and pray'r;
Lord, tell me who, and tell me where.
2 I want to go and hear of him
Who died to put away my sin,

I seem to feel a heav'nly frame, I want to praise my Saviour's name. 3 Where shall I go? where is the place Where I can hear 'tis all of grace, Salvation finish'd and complete For all Jehovah's chosen sheep? 4 O Lord, direct my steps aright, Where I may catch a blessed sight Of him who bled upon the tree, Of him who bled and died for me. 5 No other sight will do for me, But Calv'ry's mount, but Calv'ry's tree, Because I know my mighty sum Was paid off there by God the Son. 6 To God's own house I would repair, Where Christ is preach'd I would be there, I long to hear my Saviour's voice, And with God's ransom'd ones rejoice. 7 Lord, I've been wretched all the week: Where do thy chosen people meet?

Where can I go to meet with thee,
Salvation preach'd both full and free?
8 O could I find the blessed spot,
"Tis there I would cast in my lot,
Where I can go and hear of him
Who died to put away my sin.
9 Because I was belov'd of God,
I was redeem'd by precious blood,
These are the tidings suit my case,
Some like to have it works and grace.
10 How I rejoice to hear that man

Who's not asham'd to preach the plan,
Redemption's plan, both full and free,
Redemption settled on the tree.

11 Arminians may say what they please,
God will accomplish his decrees;
His purpose was to save that man
He chose in his eternal plan.
12 "Tis only those shall see his face,
Tis only those he calls by grace,

Because they were belov'd of God

Christ hath redeem'd them with his blood.

As many as are led by the Spirit of God they are the Sons of God. Romans viii. 14.

1 JEHOVAH, God the Spirit never come
To none but those redeem'd by God the Son,
He never sets his seal to that man's heart
Who never felt conviction's piercing dart.
2 He never comes to any but a son,
Where God Jehovah has his work begun,
To them Jehovah's secrets he reveals,
'Tis only such that God the Spirit seals.
3 The Spirit makes a man both feel and see
His Adam wretchedness and misery,

He makes them know they once in Adam fell, And makes them feel they justly merit hell. 4 It is the Spirit doth convince of sin,

Then shews a man his wretchedness within, A heart as black as hell, by nature base, The Spirit shews the man the plan of grace. 5 The Spirit comes and finds the sinner dead, The Spirit points to Christ the living head; Without Jehovah, God the Holy Ghost, Man will remain as stupid as a post. 6 The Spirit never taught that man to pray, Although he may say pray'rs ten times a day, The man that holds not Christ his living Head, We still may rank that man amongst the dead. 7 The Spirit leads a man to Calv'ry's trèe, The Spirit proves to man salvation's free, The Spirit comes to those belov'd of God, And seals their pardon with his precious blood. 8 The Spirit shews God's chosen ones complete, Because they are Jehovah's chosen sheep, 'Tis not because they work, or will, or run, For they are all complete in God the Son. 9 The Spirit shews the law so magnified, All those are free for whom the Saviour died, He paid the mighty debt, the mighty sum, Thus was the law fulfill'd by God the Son. 10 The Spirit bears his witness to a man,

That he can't save himself, do all he can; He teaches man all creatures efforts vain, He can do nothing right 'till born again. 11 That man can never be a gospel preacher To whom the Holy Ghost is not the teacher; The carnal man is blind and cannot see, Until the holy Spirit sets him free.

12 The Spirit teaches man he is by nature A poor, polluted, wretched, ruin'd creature,

Who has no pow'r to help himself at all, "Tis only such feel ruin'd by the fall. 13 But those the Lord had chosen in his Son, The Lord had lov'd before the world begun, The Spirit comes and finds Christ's chosen bride, Whom Christ was married to before he died. 14 He seal'd the marriage settlement with blood, Who was the very Man, the very God; Herein was love eternal, infinite,

His bride was ever lovely in his sight. 15 Herein was love surpassing angels' scan,

They look, they gaze, they wonder at the plan,
That Christ the Son of God, whom heav'ns adore,
Should take a bride so filthy and so poor.
16 If God had not lov'd man before the fall,
How could he love the filthy wretch at all?
God had his eye upon the chosen race,
They ever stood the objects of his grace.
17 Because he loved me, I live to tell

The love of him who rescued me from hell;
Because he loved me beyond degree,
He paid my ransom price upon the tree.
18 Because he loved me eternally,

This is the cause my soul can never die; :
O could I praise my God with ev'ry breath,
Who loved me, yea, even unto death.
19 Because he loved me before all time,
All cov'nant blessings were in Jesus mine,
He fix'd his love on me ere time begun,
He loved me as early as his Son.
20 Because he loved me as one with him,
Who was set up to bear my curse and sin,
From all eternity this was the case,
I view'd in Adam lost, yet sav'd by grace.
21 Because he loved me, he laid the plan
To save a poor, distressed, ruin'd man,
