5 [Bless’d are the men whose bowels move
And melt with sympathy and love;
From Christ the Lord shall they obtain
Like sympathy and love again.]

6 [Bless’d are the pure, whose hearts are clean
From the defiling powers of sin,
With endless pleasure they shall see
A God of spotless purity.]

7 [Bless’d are the men of peaceful life Who quench the coals of growing strife, They shall be call’d the heirs of bliss, The sons of God, the God of peace.]

8 [Bless’d are the sufferers who partake
Of pain and shame for Jesus’ sake;
Their souls shall triumph in the Lord,
Glory and joy are their reward.]

Hymn 1:103. 
Not ashamed of the gospel, C Tim. 1. 12.

1 I’m not asham’d to own my Lord,
Or to defend his cause,
Maintain the honour of his word,
The glory of his cross.

2 Jesus, my God, I know his Name,
His Name is all my trust,
Nor will he put my soul to shame,
Nor let my hope be lost.

3 Firm as his throne his promise stands,
And he can well secure
What I’ve committed to his hands
Till the decisive hour.

4 Then will he own my worthless name
Before his Father’s face,
And in the new Jerusalem
Appoint my soul a place.

Hymn 1:104. 
A state of nature and of grace, 1 Cor. 6. 10 11.

1 Not the malicious or profane,
The wanton or the proud,
Nor thieves, nor slanderers shall obtain
The kingdom of our God.

2 Surprising grace! and such were we
By nature and by sin,
Heirs of immortal misery,
Unholy and unclean.

3 But we are wash’d in Jesus’ blood,
We’re pardon’d thro’ his Name;
And the good Spirit of our God
Has sanctify’d our frame.

4 O for a persevering power
To keep thy just commands! 
We would defile our hearts no more,
No more pollute our hands.

Hymn 1:105. 
Heaven invisible and holy, 1 Cor. 2. 9 10.  Rev. 21. 27.

1 Nor eye has seen, nor ear has heard,
Nor sense nor reason known
What joys the Father hath prepar’d
For those that love the Son.

2 But the good Spirit of the Lord
Reveals a heaven to come: 
The beams of glory in his word
Allure and guide us home.

3 Pure are the joys above the sky,
And all the region peace;
No wanton lips, nor envious eye
Can see or taste the bliss.

4 Those holy gates for ever bar
Pollution, sin, and shame;
None shall obtain admittance there
But followers of the Lamb.

5 He keeps the Father’s book of life,
There all their names are found;
The hypocrite in vain shall strive
To tread the heavenly ground.

Hymn 1:106. 
Dead to sin by the cross of Christ, Rom. 6. 1 2 6.

1 Shall we go on to sin
Because thy grace abounds,
Or crucify the Lord again,
And open all his wounds?

2 Forbid it, mighty God,
Nor let it e’er be said
That we whose sins are crucify’d
Should raise them from the dead.
