PUBLIC WORSHIP.

Do not forget the assembling of yourselves together for the worship of God. It is God's will that you should be found with his people in the sanctuary, and you cannot be so well employed at home, therefore go to the house of prayer, and go regularly, for
Who can expect to be by Jesus blest, If absent, when He comes to meet His guests? Can those, who once have tasted Jesus' grace, Choose to be absent when He shows His face? Shall a few drops of rain, or dirty road, Prevent their public intercourse with God? See! Satan's slaves to scenes of riot go, By day and night through rain, or hail, or snow! And shall some visitor, or worldly care, Detain believers from the house of prayer? Forbid it, Lord! revive thy people's zeal; The lukewarm plague among thy people heal, Ye heirs of bliss, whom Jesus often meets, Whene'er his house is opened, fill your seats.
