HYMN 57. God's Temple Plants.

[_]

25th Psalm Tune.

1

Ye Sinners now come in,
Christ doth invite you all;
Return, return, make Angels sing,
Return for Christ doth call:

2

Lord, thou art Merciful,
Most ready to forgive,
And Pardon all that come to Thee,
And do thy Son receive.

3

O leave your wicked Ways
Before it be too Late;
For those that love, and live in Sin,
God's Soul doth loathe and hate:

63

4

But like a Cedar Tree,
Which Lebanon forth brings,
The Just shall grow and flourish so
As laden Palm-Tree springs.

5

God's Temple Plants shall thrive,
In his blest Courts each one;
And still produce their fruitful juice,
When they to Age are grown:

6

Still Fat and flourish shall,
God's Justice to express;
Our Rock is he, most pure and free
From all Unrighteousness.

7

Then sing his Praises forth,
Him Honour and Adore;
For you shall sing unto your King
In Glory evermore.
