HYMN 44. Christ's Penny: or, The Laborours hire.

[_]

25th Psalm Tune.

1

Lord, happy are those Souls
Who hired are by Thee;
For such that thou approvest of
They Saved all shall be:

2

Great's their Reward, O Lord,
Their Penny is not small;
They have a God, a Christ have they,
A Crown; they shall have All.

3

Then sing ye chosen Ones,
His Praises now set forth;
And in his Vine-yard faithful be
Whil'st you do live on Earth.

4

Rewards of Grace excell
Such which from Debts arise;
Rejoyce in God ye Saints always,
And your dear Saviour prize.
