HYMN 52. A Call to Obedience.

1

Thine Ordinances are, O Lord,
like Pipes that run with Wine;
We praise Thee now with one accord,
for each Command of Thine.

2

Repent! Lord that's a mighty thing;
but all who do not so,
Thou down to Hell at last will bring,
thy Wrath to undergo.

3

Believe! and shall we saved be?
O Blessed be thy Name!
For works can't not us justifie,
since Sinners we became.

4

Baptized be! Lord, some we fear
do not of that approve;

58

But such who are indeed Sincere,
and truly do Thee Love,

5

Will do whatever Thou dost say;
each Precept, Lord, is right;
And That which some do loathe and hate,
is Lovely in thy Sight.
