Land where none can make afraid, Lord, may we improve aright, peace, 291. TEMPTATION AND REPENTANCE. The Roaring Lion. THERE'S a lion always near, To your home he finds his way, When your Saviour you forget, (7's.) 292. Whence cometh Temptation? LET no man say, when he is tempted, For God cannot be tempted with evil, But every man is tempted, When he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you.-James i. 13; iv. 7. 293. Repent: for why will ye die ?(s. M.) THE Saviour kindly saith And whispers in His Word, Arise, and put not off till death, But haste ye to the Lord. And if you know not how And if you would repent, Pluck sin up by the root, And henceforth let your life be spent 294. How and where shall we be safe? BE sober, be vigilant ; Because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, Walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist, stedfast in the faith. An highway shall be there, and a way, And it shall be called The way of holiness; The unclean shall not pass over it : No lion shall be there, Nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon; But the redeemed shall walk there. 1 Peter v. 8, 9; Isaiah xxxv. 8, 9. 295.Not joyous at present, but grievous.(7's.) FOLLY in a child is bound, Much indulgence makes a child There are plagues within his heart, Oh, if children did but know, 296. The Bondage of Sin. (C. M.) WHEN we were brought to Christ at first We promised to repent, And wholly trust in Him who once To save our souls was sent. Unless we turn in heart and life, We cannot be forgiven; While we continue doing wrong, It was to save us from our sins 297. SICKNESS AND SORROW. The Sick Child's Hymn. (L. M.) O HEAVENLY Father, hear my cry, O grant me an obedient mind, All must be good which Thou dost send I'll try to love and praise Thee still. 298. Hezekiah's Hymn after Sickness. I SAID I shall go to the gates | of · the | grave: O Lord, I am oppressed; | un der | take for me. What shall I say: He hath both spoken unto me, and Him | self hath done it. I shall go softly | all my years: In the bitterness of my soul. O Lord, by these things men | live : And in all these things is the | life of | my | spirit. So wilt Thou recover me, and | make me to live: For Thou hast cast all my | sins behind, thy | back. The living the | living: He shall praise Thee, as I do this | day. Isaiah xxxviii. 10-19. |
