? Now glory to God in the highest is given; Now glory to God is re-echoed in heaven; Around the whole earth let us tell the glad

story,

And sing of his love, his salvation and glory. Hallelujah to the Lamb, &c.

30 Jesus, ride on,-thy kingdom is glorious; O'er sin, death, and hell, thou wilt make us victorious:

Thy name shall be praised in the great con gregation,

And saints shall ascribe unto thee their salvation.

Hallelujah to the Lamb, &c.

4 When on Zion we stand, having gain'd the blest shore,

With our harps in our hands, we will praise

evermore :

We'll range the blest fields on the banks of the river,

And sing of redemption forever and ever.
Hallelujah to the Lamb, &c.

30th P. M. 11 10, 11 10.

Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.

NOME, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish;

Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel; Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish ;

Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. 2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying, Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure,Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying,Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot cure. 8 Here see the bread of life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, pure from above; Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowingEarth has no sorrow but Heaven can remove.

305

C. M.

Behold the Lamb.

LOOK unto Christ, ve nations; own

Your God, ye fallen race;

Look, and be saved through faith alone,
Be justified by grace.

2 See all your sins on Jesus laid:
The Lamb of God was slain;
His soul was once an off'ring made
For every soul of man.

3 Awake from guilty nature's sleep,
And Christ shall give you light;
Cast all your sins into the deep,
And wash the Ethiop white.

4 With me, your chief, ye then shall know,
Shall feel, your sins forgiven;
Anticipate your heaven below,
And own that love is heaven.

3d P. M. 4 6s & 2 88.

Proclaiming the universal Saviour.

ET earth and heaven agree,

To celebrate with me

The Saviour of mankind:
To' adore the all-atoning Lamb,
And bless the sound of Jesus' name.

2 Jesus! transporting sound!
The joy of earth and heaven;
No other help is found,

No other name is given,

By which we can salvation have;
But Jesus came the world to save.

3 Jesus! harmonious name!
It charms the hosts above;
They evermore proclaim,

And wonder at, his love:

'Tis all their happiness to gaze,--
'Tis heaven to see our Jesus' face.

4 His name the sinner hears,
And is from sin set free;
'Tis music in his ears;

'Tis life and victory;

New songs do now his lips employ,
And dances his glad heart for joy.

5 O unexampled love!
O all-redeeming grace!
How swiftly didst thou move
To save a fallen race!

What shall I do to make it known,
What thou for all mankind hast done!

60 for a trumpet voice,

On all the world to call,-
To bid their hearts rejoice
In him who died for all:

For all, my Lord was crucified;
For all, for all, my Saviour died.

307

The immensity of His grace.

WHAT shall I &. my God to love!

My loving God to praise!

C. M.

The length, and breadth, and height to prova, And depth of sov'reign grace!

2 Thy sov'reign grace to all extends, Iminense and unconfined;

From age to age it never ends;

It reaches all mankind.

3 Throughout the world its breadth is known, Wide as infinity:

So wide it never pass'd by one,
Or it had pass'd by me."

4 My trespass was grown up to heaven;
But, far above the skies,

Through Christ abundantly forgiven,
I see thy mercies rise.

5 The depth of all-redeeming love,
What angel tongue can tell!

O may I to the utmost prove
The gift unspeakable!

308

L. M.

Rejoicing in the glory of His grace. LORY to God, whose sov'reign grace T Hath animated senseless stones,Call'd us to stand before his face,

And raised us into Abrah'm's sons.

2 The people that in darkness lay,
In sin and error's deadly shade,
Have seen a glorious gospel-day
In Jesus' lovely face display'd.

3 Thou only, Lord, the work hast done,
And bared thine arm in all our sight;
Hast made the reprobates thine own,
And claim'd the outcasts as thy right.

4 Thy single arm, almighty Lord,
To us the great salvation brought;
Thy Word, thy all-creating Word,

That spake at first the world from naught.

5 For this the saints lift up their voice, And ceaseless praise to thee is given; For this the hosts above rejoice,

And praise thee in the highest heaven.

THE SINNER.

DEPRAVITY.

Original and actual sin.

L. -

LORD we are voly, and even;
ORD, we are vile, conceived in sin,
Sprung from the man whose guilty fall
Corrupts his race, and taints us all.
2 Soon as we draw our infant breath
The seeds of sin grow up for death;
Thy law demands a perfect heart,
But we 're defiled in every part.

3 Behold, we fall before thy face;
Our only refuge is thy grace:
No outward forms can make us clean;
The leprosy lies deep within.

4 No bleeding bird, nor bleeding beast,
Nor hyssop branch, nor sprinkling priest
Nor running brook, nor flood, nor sea,
Can wash the dismal stain away.

5 Jesus, thy blood, thy blood alone,
Hath power sufficient to atone;

Thy blood can make us white as snow;
No Jewish types could cleanse us so.

6 While guilt disturbs and breaks our pezz
Nor flesh nor soul hath rest or ease;
Lord, let us hear thy pard'ning voice,
And make these broken hearts rejoice.
310

Totally diseased.

WHILE dead in trespasses 1 lie,

Thy quick'ning Spirit give;

Call me, thou Son of God, that I
May hear thy voice, and live.

C. M.
