Only believe on God's dear Son,
Through him the victory is won,
Christ Jesus di'd for me.

8 For Christ's free love's a boundless sea,
What to expire for such as me ?
Yes 'tis a truth divine;

My heart did melt my soul o'er run
With love, to see what God had done,
For souls as mean as mine.

9 Now I can hear a child proclaim
The joyful news, and praise the name
Of Jesus Christ my king;

I know no sect, christians are one,
With my complaints I now have done,
And God's free grace I sing.

10 Glory to him who gave his son,
To die for crimes which we had done,
And made salvation mine;

For as we'd sold ourselves for nought,
So without money we are bought,

A blessed truth divine.

11 Come saints, rejoice in Christ your king, His solemn praises sweetly sing,

And tell the world his love;

Sinners invite for to receive

Of God's free grace and not to grieve
The holy sacred dove.

12 All those who do an interest gain,
In the blest lamb that once was slain,
Will surely happy be ;

Their loud hosannas they shall raise,
A monument of God's high praise,
To all eternity.

A

The coronation of Christ.

LL hail the power of Jesus' name,
Let angels prostrate fall;

Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown him Lord of all.

2 Crown him ye martyrs of our God,
Who from the altar call,
Extol the stem of Jesse's rod,

And crown him Lord of all.

3 Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,
A remnant weak and small,
Hail him who saves you by his grace,
And crown him Lord of all.

4 Ye Gentile sinners ne'er forget,
The wormwood and the gall,
Go spread your trophies at his feet,
And crown him Lord of all.

5 Babes, men and sirs, who know his love, Who feel your sin and thrall,

Now joy with all the hosts above,
And crown him Lord of all.

6 Let ev'ry kindred ev'ry tongue,
On this terestrial ball,
To him all majesty ascribe,
And crown him Lord of all.

7. O that with yonder sacred throng, We at his feet may fall,

We'll join the everlasting song,

And crown him Lord of all.

HYMN 53.

The Christian's warrant.

HO' troubles assail and dangers affright,.
Tho' friends all should fail and foes all unite,
Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide,
The promise assures us the Lord will provide..

2 The birds without barn or store-house are fed,
From them let us learn to trust in our head;
His saints, what is fitting shall ne'er be deny'd
So long as 'tis written the Lord will provide.

3 We all, may like ships, by tempest be tost
On perilous deeps, but shall not be lost;
Tho' satan enrages the wind and the tide,
Yet scripture engages, the Lord will provide.

4 His call we'll obey, like Abraʼm of old,
We know not the way, but faith makes us bold;
For tho' we are strangers, we have a sure guide,
And trust in all dangers, the Lord will provide..

5 When satan appears to stop up the path,
And fills us with fears, we'll triumph by faith,
He cannot take from us (tho' oft he has try'd)
This heart-cheering promise, the Lord will provide.

6 He tells us we're weak, our hope is in vain, The good that we seek, we ne'er shall obtain; But when such suggestions, our graces have try'd, This answers all questions, the Lord will provide.

7 No strength of our own, or goodness we claim,
Our trust is all thrown on Jesus' own name;
In this our strong tower for safety we hide,
The Lord is our power, the Lord will provide.

When life sinks apace, and death is in view,

The word of his grace shall comfort us through,
Nor fearing, nor doubting with Christ on our side,
We hope to die shouting the Lord will provide.

HYMN 54.

Precious Promises. -2 Peter. iii. 4.

OW firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in his excellent word? What more can he say than to you he hath said, You who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?

2 In ev'ry condition, in sickness, in health,
In poverty's vale or abounding in wealth,
At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea,
As thy days may demand, shall thy strength e'er be..

3 Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismay'd,
I, I am thy God-and will still give thee aid;

I'll strengthen thee, help thee and cause thee to stand, Upheld by my right'ous, omnipotent hand.

4. When thro' the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of woe shall not thee o'erflow,
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless :
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.

5 When thro' fi'ry trials thy path-way shall lie,
My grace all-sufficient shall be thy supply;
The flames shall not hurt thee, I only design,
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.

6 Even down to old age, all my people shall prove
My sov'reign, eternal, unchangeable love,

And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be born.

7 The soul that on Jesus hath lean'd for repose,

I will not, I will not desert to his foes;
That soul, tho' all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never-no never-no never forsake.

HYMN 55. C. M.

Pleading with God under affliction.

WHY

HY should a living man complain
Of deep distress within;

Since ev'ry sigh and ev'ry pain,
Is but the fruit of sin.

2 No Lord, I'll patiently submit,
Nor never dare rebel;

Yet sure I may here at thy feet,
My painful feelings tell.

3 Thou seest what floods of sorrow rise;
And beat upon my soul;

One trouble to another cries,

Billows on billows roll.

4 From fear to hope and hope to fear,
My shipwreck'd soul is tost,
Till I am tempted in despair,
To give up all for lost.

5 Yet thro' the stormy clouds I'll look,
Once more to thee, my God;

O fix my soul upon a rock,

Beyond the raging flood.

6 One look of mercy from thy face,
Would set my heart at ease;
One all-creating word of grace,
Will make the tempest cease.
