Not ashamed of the Gospel. Rom. 1. 16; 2 Tim. 1. 12
I’m not ashamed to own my Lord, Or to defend his cause, Maintain the honour of his word, The glory of his cross.
2 Jesus, my God, I know his name, His name is all my trust; Nor will he put my soul to shame, Nor let my hope be lost.
3 Firm as his throne his promise stands, And he can well secure What I’ve committed to his hands, Till the decisive hour.
4 Then will he own my worthless name Before his Father’s face, And in the new Jerusalem Appoint my soul a place. ISAAC WATTS 1674

2 God loved the church, and gave his Son To drink the cup of wrath; And Jesus says he’ll cast out none J. HUMPHREY 1720

Gospel Invitation. Song. 5. 1; Isa. 55. 1-3
[Let every open ear attend, And broken heart rejoice; The trumpet of the gospel sounds With an inviting voice.]
2 Ho! all ye hungry, starving souls, That feed upon the wind, And vainly strive with earthly toys To fill an empty mind;
3 Eternal Wisdom has prepared A soul-reviving feast; And bids your longing appetites The rich provision taste.
4 Ho! ye that pant for living streams, And pine away and die; Here you may quench your raging thirst, With springs that never dry.
5 Rivers of love and mercy here In a rich ocean join; Salvation in abundance flows, Like floods of milk and wine.
6 [Ye perishing and naked poor, Who work with mighty pain To weave a garment of your own That will not hide your sin;
