ransom'd sinners, hear,

And wait till Christ appear,

According to his word:

Rejoice in hope, rejoice with me;
We shall from all our sins be free.

2 In God we put our trust;

If we our sins confess,

Faithful is he and just,

From all unrighteousness

To cleanse us all, both you and me:
We shall from all our sins be free.

3 Surely in us the hope
Of glory shall appear;
Sinners, your heads lift up,

And see redemption near:
Again I say, Rejoice with me;
We shall from all our sins be free.

4 Who Jesus' suff'rings share,
My fellow-pris'ners now,
Ye soon the crown shall wear
On your triumphant brow:
Rejoice in hope, rejoice with me;
We shall from all our sins be free.

5 The word of God is sure,

And never can remove;
We shall in heart be pure,
And perfected in love:

Rejoice in hope, rejoice with me;
We shall from all our sins be free.

6 Then let us gladly bring
Our sacrifice of praise:
Let us give thanks and sing,
And glory in his grace:

Rejoice in hope, rejoice with me;
We shall from all our sins be free.

The land of rest.

THY loving Spirit, Lord, alone,

Can lead me forth, and make me free;
The bondage break in which I groan,
And set my heart at liberty.

2 Now let thy Spirit bring me in,
And give thy servant to possess
The land of rest from inbred sin,-
The land of perfect holiness.

3 Lord, I believe thy power the same;
The same thy truth and grace endure;
And in thy blessed hands I am,

And trust thee for a perfect cure.

4 Come, Saviour, come, and make me whole; Entirely all my sins remove;

To perfect health restore my soul,—
To perfect holiness and love.

Purity of heart.

BLEST are the pure in heart,

For they shall see our God; The secret of the Lord is theirs; Their soul is his abode.

2 Still to the lowly soul

He doth himself impart,

And for his temple and his throne
Selects the pure in heart.

The new creation.

LOVE divine, all love excelling,

Joy of heaven, to earth come down,
Fix in us thy humble dwelling;
All thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, thou art all compassion,-
Pure unbounded love thou art;
Visit us with thy salvation;

Enter every trembling heart.

2 Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit Into every troubled breast;

Let us all in thee inherit;

Let us find that second rest.
Take away our bent to sinning;
Alpha and Omega be;
End of faith, as its beginning,
Set our hearts at liberty.

3 Come, almighty to deliver,
Let us all thy life receive;
Suddenly return, and never,
Never more thy temples leave:
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve thee as thy hosts above,
Pray, and praise thee without ceasing,
Glory in thy perfect love.

4 Finish then thy new creation;
Pure and spotless let us be;
Let us see thy great salvation,
Perfectly restored in thee:
Changed from glory into glory,

Till in heaven we take our place,-
Till we cast our crowns before thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.
