173. T. 590. FATHER of angels and of men, Saviour, who us hast bought,

Spirit, by whom we're born again,

And sanctified, and taught;
Thy glory, holy Three in One,
Thy people's song shall be, (run,
Long as the wheels of time shall
And thro' eternity.

174. T. 581, or 83.

NOW, with angels round the throne,
Cherubim and seraphim,

And the church which still is one,
Let us swell the solemn hymn:
Glory to the great I AM!
Glory to the slaughter'd Lamb!

2. Blessing, honour, glory, might, And dominion infinite,

To the Father of our Lord,
To the Spirit and the Word;
As it was all worlds before,
Is, and shall be evermore.

T. 166. THAT peace which God alone reveals,

And by his word of grace imparts, Which only the believer feels, Direct, and keep, and cheer our

hearts:

T. 132.

NOW sing thou happy church of
His favor'd congregation,
(God,
Redeem'd with Jesus' precious blood
From every tribe and nation:
Most holy, blessed Trinity, (thee
For the Lamb slain all praise to

Both now and ever. Amen.

X. OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.

T. 22. OUR heavenly Father is not known To us, but in the Son alone; His mercy, love, and boundless grace

We see display'd in Jesus' face.

2. O God, how dreadful was thy

name,

Until the God-man Jesus came; We cannot love nor honour thee, Unless the Son hath made us free.

3. O love, no human tongue can O love divine, unsearchable! (tell! The Father gave his only Son For guilty sinners to atone. 4. Can any ill distress my heart, Since God with his own Son did part?

Whate'er I want can't be denied, Since Christ for me was crucified. M. Taylor.

182. T. 14. BEHOLD what love the Father hath On guilty men bestow'd, That we, who children are of wrath, Should children be of God. 2. O how beyond expression great His love in Christ doth shine! 'Tis like himself-the eternal God, Past knowledge, all divine.

3. Behold, for fallen, guilty man,
The Lord of glory dies;
Lays down his life us to redeem,
A precious sacrifice.

4. Now doth our Lord, the Son of Who for us liv'd and died, (God,

See of the travail of his soul,
And is well satisfied.

5. Peace and good-will are now to
Most gloriously display'd, (man
And life eternal we obtain

From God, in Christ our Head. 6. O let us then repeat the theme, Which always sounds above; And ever sing with joyful hearts The wonders of his love.

183*.

T. 22. THOU hast the world so greatly lov'd,

Father, that thou by mercy mov'd Didst give thy well-beloved Son, By death for sinners to atone. 2. That he all who in him believe, Might in thy family receive, For thou didst deem his sacrifice An all-sufficient ransom-price. 3. As children we are own'd by thee, Since Christ our brother deign'd to be;

We feel thy kind, paternal heart To us who have in him a part. 4. The whole salvation of thy Son, And all his merits make our own; Yea, grant us richly, for his sake, Of heavenly blessings to partake. 5. Thou art our Father and our God, Since Christ assum'd our flesh and blood;

Therefore in thee our trust we place, And give thee never-ceasing praise.

184. FATHER of eternal grace, Glorify thyself in me;

Z.

T. 205.

Meekly beaming in my face,
May the world thine image see:
Happy only in thy love,
Poor, unfriended, or unknown,
Fix my thoughts on things above,
Stay my heart on thee alone.

2. Humble, holy, all resign'd
To thy will, thy will be done!
Give me, Lord, the perfect mind

Of thy well-beloved Son : Counting gain and glory loss, May I tread the path He trod, Die with Jesus on the cross, Rise with him to thee, my God.

T. 341.

THEE, O my God and King,
My Father, thee I sing,
Hear well-pleas'd the joyous sound,
Praise from earth and heaven re-
ceive:

Lost, I now in Christ am found,
Dead, by faith in Christ I live.
2. Father, behold thy Son,
In Christ I am thine own:
Stranger long to thee and rest,
See, the prodigal is come;
Open wide thy arms and breast,
Take the weary wanderer home.
3. Thine eye observ'd from far,
Thy pity drew me near:
Me thy bowels yearn'd to see,
Me thy mercy ran to find,
Empty, poor, and void of thee,
Hungry, sick, and faint, and blind.

4. Thou on my neck didst fall,
Thy kiss forgave me all.

Still the gracious words I hear, Words that made the Saviour mine, "Haste, for him the robe prepare, His be righteousness divine."

C. Wesley.

OUR heavenly Father, hear
The prayer we offer now;
Thy name be hallow'd far and near,

To thee all nations bow;
Thy kingdom come; thy will
On earth be done in love,
As saints and seraphim fulfil
Thy perfect law above.

2. Our daily bread supply,
While by thy Word we live;
The guilt of our iniquity
Forgive, as we forgive:
From dark temptation's power,
From Satan's wiles defend;
Deliver in the evil hour,
And guide us to the end.

3. Thine, then, for ever be
Glory and power divine;
The sceptre, throne, and majesty
Of heaven and earth are thine.
Thus humbly taught to pray,
By thy beloved Son,

(say,

Through him we come to thee and All for his sake be done.

4. Our souls and bodies feed, we | The watery deep I pass,

pray,

With food which thou see'st best, We ask our portion for the day, And leave to thee the rest.

5. Let mercy pardon all our crimes, Which justice must condemn; As some have wrong'd us many times,

And we would pardon them.

6. Let not temptation us befall,
While here our race we'`run;
But rescue and defend us all
From sin and the evil one.

7. Thine is the kingdom, thine the
O'er angels and o'er men; (power
The glory too for evermore,
Is thine: Amen, Amen.

With Jesus in my view,

And through the howlingwilderness
My pilgrim path pursue.

With peace and plenty bless'd;
4. The goodly land I see,
A land of sacred liberty,
And everlasting rest.
There milk and honey flow,
And oil and wine abound;
And trees of life for ever grow
With endless mercy crown'd.

5. There dwells the Lord our King,
The Lord our righteousness,
Triumphant o'er the world and sin,
Jesus, the Prince of peace.
On Sion's sacred height
His kingdom he maintains,
And glorious, with his saints in
Enthron'd for ever reigns. (light,

6. He keeps his own secure,
He guards them by his side,
Arrays in garments white and pure
His blood-bought, spotless bride.
With streams of sacred bliss,
With groves of living joys,
With all the fruits of paradise
His saints he still supplies.

And thank thee prostrate in the
dust.
