The Twenty Fifth of May.

I AM NOT WORTHY --- Genesis 32:10.

"I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast showed unto thy servant." --- Genesis 32:10.

"Who am I, O Lord God? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto." --- 2 Samuel 7:18.

A soul truly humbled highly esteems every favour, and judges itself utterly unworthy of the least, looking upon everything as a free gift, and bestowed only for Jesus Christ's sake. Now, O my dear Father, it is true, in myself I deserve none --- no, not the least of thy mercies; but, as thou hast graciously, looked upon me, and given me thine only Son, who hath purchased all blessings at a high price for sinners, I do believe that goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life. Amen.

Be it so, holy Father, to thy glory and my everlasting joy.

Now to the power of God supreme
Be everlasting honours given;
He saves from hell, (we bless his name,)
He calls our wandering feet to heaven.

Not for our duties or deserts,
But of his own abounding grace,
He works salvation in our hearts,
And forms a people for his praise.

'Twas his own purpose that begun
To rescue rebels doom'd to die;
He gave us grace in Christ, his Son,
Before he spread the starry sky.

Jesus the Lord, appears at last,
And makes his Father's counsels known;
Declares the great transaction's past,
And brings immortal blessings down.
