Glad thine attributes confess,
Glorious all, and numberless.

3 Hail, by all thy works adored!
Hail, the everlasting Lord!

Thee with thankful hearts we prove,
God of power, and God of love.

4 Christ our Lord and God we own,
Christ, the Father's only Son,
Lamb of God, for sinners slain,
Saviour of offending man.

5 Bow thine ear, in mercy bow,
Hear, the world's atonement, thou!
Jesus, in thy name we pray,

Take, O take our sins away!

"TIS finish'd:

[blocks in formation]

-so the Saviour cried;

And meekly bow'd his head, and died! "Tis finish'd:-yes, the race is run,The battle fought, the vict'ry won.

2 'Tis finish'd-all that Heaven decreed,
And all that ancient prophets said,
Is now fulfill'd, as was design'd,
In me, the Saviour of mankind.

3 "Tis finish'd:-this my dying groan
Shall sin of every kind atone;
Millions shall be redeem'd from death,
Bv this my last expiring breath

4 'Tis finish'd:-Heaven is reconciled,
And all the powers of darkness spoil'd:
Peace, love, and happiness, again
Return, and dwell with sinful men.

5 'Tis finish'd:-let the joyful sound
Be heard through all the nations round:
"Tis finish'd let the echo fly,

Through heaven and hell, through earth and sky.

REPENTANCE AND FAITH.

SHORT.

69.

IF Jesus Christ was sent
To save us from our sin,
And kindly teach us to repent,
We should at once begin.

2 He says he loves to see
A broken-hearted one;

He loves that sinners such as we

TAYLOR.

Should mourn for what we 've done.

3 'Tis not enough to say

We're sorry and repent; Yet still go on from day to day

Just as we always went.

4 Repentance is, to leave

The sins we loved before;

And show that we in earnest grieve,

By doing so no more.

5 Lord, make us thus sincere,
To watch as well as pray;
However small, however dear,
Take all our sins away.

6 And since the Saviour came
To make us turn from sin,

With holy grief, and humble shame,
May we at once begin.

WESLEY.

SAVIOUR, Prince of Israel's race,
See me from thy lofty throne;
Give the sweet relenting grace,
Soften this obdurate stone!
Stone to flesh, O God, convert;
Cast a look, and break my heart!

2 By thy Spirit, Lord, reprove;
All my inmost sins reveal;
Sins against thy light and love,
Let me see, and let me feel;
Sins that crucified my God,
Spilt again thy precious blood.
3 Might I in thy sight appear,
As the publican, distress'd;
Stand, not daring to draw near;
Smite on my unworthy breast;
Groan the sinner's only plea,
"God be merciful to me !"

4 O remember me for good,

Passing through the mortal vale ;
Show me the atoning blood,

When my strength and spirit fail;
Give my gasping soul to see
Jesus crucified for me.

WESLEY

FOR that tenderness of heart Which bows before the Lord, Acknowledging how just thou art, And trembles at thy word! O for those humble, contrite tears, Which from repentance flow; That consciousness of guilt which fears The long-suspended blow!

2 Saviour, to me in pity give
The sensible distress;

The pledge thou wilt at last receive,
And bid me die in peace:

Wilt from the dreadful day remove,
Before the evil come;

My spirit hide with saints above,
My body in the tomb.

[blocks in formation]

THAT I could repent,

With all my idols part,

And to thy gracious eye present
An humble, contrite heart!

WESLEY

A heart with grief oppress'd
For having grieved my God,
A troubled heart that cannot rest
Till sprinkled with thy blood.

2 Jesus on me bestow
The penitent desire;
With true sincerity of wo
My aching breast inspire:
With softening pity look,

And melt my hardness down;

Strike with thy love's resistless stroke, And break this heart of stone!

COMMON.

WESLEY.

THAT I could my Lord receive, Who did the world redeem; Who gave his life that I might live A life conceal'd in him.

2 O that I could the blessing prove,
My heart's extreme desire;
Live happy in my Saviour's love,
And in his arms expire!

3 Mercy I ask to seal my peace,
That, kept by mercy's power,
I may from every evil cease,
And never grieve thee more.

4 In answer to ten thousand prayers, Thou pardoning God, descend;
