6 Thy blood shall over all prevail,
And sanctify the' unclean;
The grace that saves the soul from hell,
Will save from present sin.
1st P. M. 6 lines 88.
All things possible to the believer.
ALT things are possible to him
That can in Jesus' name believe:
Lord, I no more thy truth blaspheme;
Thy truth I lovingly receive;
I can, I do believe in thee,-
All things are possible to me.
2 When thou the work of faith hast wrought,
I here shall in thine image shine,
Nor sin in deed, or word, or thought.
Let men exclaim, and fiends repine,
They cannot break the firm decree,-
All things are possible to me.
3 All things are possible to God,-
To Christ, the power of God in man,-
To me, when I am all renew'd,-
When I in Christ am form'd again,
And witness, from all sin set free,-
All things are possible to me.
Christ, the guide and counsellor.
JESUS, my truth, my way,
My sure, unerring light,"
On thee my feeble steps I stay,
Which thou wilt guide aright.
2 My wisdom and my guide,
My counsellor thou art;
O never let me leave thy side,
Or from thy paths depart.
3 I lift mine eyes to thee,
Thou gracious, bleeding Lamb,
That I may now enlighten'd be,
And never put to shame.
4 Never will I remove
Out of thy hands my cause;
But rest in thy redeeming love,
And hang upon thy cross.
5 O make me all like thee,
Before I hence remove;
Settle, confirm, and 'stablish me,
And build me up in love.
6 Let me thy witness live,
When sin is all destroy'd;
And then my spotless soul receive,
And take me home to God.
1st P. M. 6 lines 88.
His blood cleanseth from all sin.
PRIS'NERS of hope, lift up your heads;
The day of liberty draws near;
Jesus, who on the serpent treads,
Shall soon in your behalf appear.
The Lord will to his temple come;
Prepare your hearts to make him room.
2 Ye all shall find, whom in his word
Himself hath caused to put your trust,
The Father of our dying Lord
Is ever to his promise just;
Faithful, if we our sins confess,
To cleanse from all unrighteousness.
3 0 ye of fearful hearts, be strong!
Your downcast eyes and hands lift up!
Ye shall not be forgotten long;
Hope to the end, in Jesus hope!
Tell him ye wait his grace to prove;
And cannot fail, if God is love.
PRIS'NERS of hope, be strong, be bold;
Cast off your doubts, disdain to fear;
Dare to believe; on Christ lay hold;
Wrestle with Christ in mighty prayer;
Tell him,-We will not let thee go,
Till we thy name, thy nature know.
2 Hast thou not died to purge our sin,
And risen, thy death for us to plead?
To write thy law of love within
Our hearts, and make us free indeed?
That we our Eden might regain,
Thou diedst, and couldst not die in vain.
3 The promise stands, forever sure,
And we shall in thine image shine,
Partakers of a nature pure,
Holy, angelical, divine;
In spirit join'd to thee, the Son,
As thou art with the Father one.
GLORIOUS hope of perfect love,
It lifts me up to things above;
It bears on eagles' wings;
It gives my ravish'd soul a taste,
And makes me for some moments feast
With Jesus' priests and kings.
2 Rejoicing now in earnest hope,
I stand, and from the mountain top
See all the land below:
Rivers of milk and honey rise,
And all the fruits of paradise
In endless plenty grow.
3 A land of corn, and wine, and oil,
Favour'd with God's peculiar smile,
With every blessing blest;
There dwells the Lord our Righteousness,
And keeps his own in perfect peace,
And everlasting rest.
4 0 that I might at once go up;
No more on this side Jordan stop,
But now the land possess;
This moment end my legal years;
Sorrows and sins, and doubts and fears,
A howling wilderness.
A hope full of immortality.
JOYFUL sound of gospel grace,
Christ shall in me appear;
I, even I, shall see his face,-
I shall be holy here.
2 The glorious crown of righteousness
To me reach'd out I view:
Conqu'ror through him, I soon shall seize, And wear it as my due.
3 The promised land, from Pisgah's top, I now exult to see:
My hope is full, (0 glorious hope!)
4 With me, I know, I feel, thou art;
But this cannot suffice,
Unless thou plantest in my heart
A constant paradise.
5 My earth thou wat'rest from on high,
But make it all a pool:
Spring up, O Well, I ever cry;
Spring up within my soul.
6 Come, O my God, thyself reveal;
Fill all this mighty void:
Thou only canst my spirit fill;
Come, O my God, my God.
There remaineth a rest for the people of God. YOME, O thou greater than our heart, And make thy faithful mercies known; The mind which was in thee impart : Thy constant mind in us be shown. 20 let us by thy cross abide,
Thee, only thee, resolved to know, The Lamb for sinners crucified,
A world to save from endless wo.
3 Take us into thy people's rest,
And we from our own works shall cease; With thy meek Spirit arm our breast, And keep our minds in perfect peace. 4 Jesus, for this we calmly wait; O let our eyes behold thee near! Hasten to make our heaven complete; Appear, our glorious God, appear!
OD of all power, and truth, and grace,
Whose word, when heaven and earth shall pass,
Remains, and stands forever sure:-
2 That I thy mercy may proclaim,
That all mankind thy truth may see,
Hallow thy great and glorious name,
And perfect holiness in me.
3 Give me a new, a perfect heart,
From doubt, and fear, and sorrow free; The mind which was in Christ impart, And let my spirit cleave to thee.
