He will answer from his throne
" Though you with my people mix d,
Yet to me you ne er were known ;
Depart, your doom is fix d."
5 Oh that none who worship here
May hear that word, depart !
Lord, impress a godly fear
On each professor s heart :
Help us, Lord, to search the camp,
Let us not ourselves beguile,
Trusting to a dying lamp,
Without a stock of oil.

Peter sinning and repenting.—Matt, xxvi, 73.
1 WHEN Peter boasted, soon he fell,
Yet was by grace restored ;
His case should be regarded well
By all who fear the Lord.
2 A voice it has, and helping hand,
Backsliders to recall ;
And cautions those who think they stand,
Lest suddenly they fall.
3 He said, " Whatever others do,
With Jesus I ll abide ;"
Yet soon amidst a murd rous crew
His suff ring Lord denied.
4 He who had been so bold before
Now trembled like a leaf,
Not only lied, but cursed and swore,
To gain the more belief.
5 While he blasphemed he heard the cock,
And Jesus look d in love ;
At once, as if by lightning struck,
His tongue forebore to move.
6 Deliver d thus from Satan s snare,
He starts, as from a sleep ;
