HYMN 40. Third Part. C.M.
Brotherly love. (cont.)

3	Love is the golden chain, that binds    The happy souls above; And he's an heir of heav'n, that finds    His bosom glow with love.

HYMN 41. First Part. L.M.
The seventh command.

1	SACRED wedlock! law of heaven, By wisdom fram'd, in mercy giv'n; The spring, whence all the kindred ties Of parents, children, brethren, rise!
2	Curs'd be the lusts which violate The honours of the marriage state; The Lord himself, in wrath severe, Will judge the vile adulterer.
3	The wicked, filthy and unclean, Shall reap the harvest of their sin: And they who burn with Sodom's lust, In Sodom's fire shall be accurs'd.
4	Polluted sinner, hide thy face, Fly to the throne, and plead for grace; The blood of Christ can cleanse thy soul, And make thy filthy spirit whole.

HYMN 41. Second Part. L.M.
The Law is spiritual, but we are carnal.

1	MOST holy God, thy precept's just Against impure desires and lust; We therefore mourn, with grief and shame, Our guilty and polluted frame.
2	We know by nature, we're unclean, Our pow'ra debas'd, affections mean; We own impeded chastity, The sensual heart, the wanton eye.
3	The seeds of ev'ry vice and sin Are rooted deep and grow within;

HYMN 41. Second Part. L.M.
The Law is spiritual, but we are carnal. (cont.)

3	And if preserv'd from filthy ways, To grace alone belongs the praise.
4	O! shed abroad thy love divine, Constrain us to be wholly thine; And make our souls and bodies both The Temples of the Holy Ghost.

HYMN 42. First Part. L.M.
The eighth command.

1	GREAT God, thy holy law commands Strict honesty in our demands; Forbids to plunder, steal or cheat, To practise falsehood or deceit.
2	We must be faithful, upright, true, Nor take, but what is strictly due; If honesty be banish'd hence, Religion is a vain pretence.
3	No righteous debt must be denied By fraud or pow'r, by lies or pride; The poor should not by long delay, Be made to groan for want of pay.
4	What equity enjoins as right, We must perform with all our might; Nor seek our neighbour to deceive, With what ourselves do not believe.
5	Let christians never dare disgrace The name and cause, which they profess; Lord, help us ever to pursue Things, which are honest, just and true.

HYMN 42. Second Part. S.M.
The worldling.

1	WHAT does the worldling gain    By all his vain pursuits? His very pleasure gives him pain,    And mis'ry are its fruits.
