Hymn 1. Second Part. L.M.
In life and death I belong to Christ.

1	LET thoughtless thousands choose the road, That leads the soul away from God; This happiness, dear Lord, be mine, To live and die entirely thine.
2	On Christ, by faith, my soul would live, From him, my life, my all receive: To him devote my fleeting hours; Serve him alone with all my pow'rs.
3	Christ is my everlasting all, To him I look, on him I call; He ev'ry want will well supply, In time, and thro' eternity.
4	Soon will the Lord, my life, appear; Soon shall I end my trials here; Leave sin and sorrow, death and pain: To live is Christ, — to die is gain.

Hymn 1. Third Part. L.M.
The Christian's experience.

1	NO strength of nature can suffice    To serve the Lord aright; And what she has, she misapplies,    For want of clearer light.
2	How long beneath the law I lay    In bondage and distress: I toil'd the precept to obey,    But toil'd without success.
3	Then all my servile works were done    A righteousness to raise; Now freely chosen in the Son,    I freely choose his ways.

HYMN 1. Third Part. L.M.
The Christian's experience. (cont.)

4	To see the law by Christ fulfil'd,    And hear his pard'ning voice, Will change a slave into a child,    And duty into choice.
5	"What shall 1 do," was once the word,    "That I may worthier grow? "What shall I render to the Lord?"    Is my enquiry now.
6	I've seen how great my mis'ry is,    And mourn'd my helpless case; I've found in Christ a righteousness.    And praise him for his grace.

HYMN 1. Fourth Part. L.M.
The good old way.

1	THE righteousness, th' atoning blood Of Jesus is the way to God; O! may we then no longer stray, But come to Christ, the good old way.
2	The prophets and apostles too Pursued this path while here below; We therefore will, without dismay, Thus walk in Christ, the good old way.
3	With faith and love, and holy care, In this dear way, I'll persevere; And when I die, triumphant say, This is the right, the good old way.

HYMN 2. First Part. L.M.
The Law.

1	THUS saith the first, the great command, "Let all thy inward pow'rs unite "To love thy Maker and thy God, "With utmost vigour and delight.
2	"Then shall thy neighbour, next in place, "Share thine affections and esteem;
