HYMN. II.

CHRIST's Love and Excellency.

1 WHAT love is this! that Chrift fhould bear
Man's curfe and punishment,
And thed his blood upon the cross,
Till ev'ry drop was spent!

2 Love made him come to fave the loft,
Give fight unto the blind,

To loofe the captives that are bound,
And ease the grieved mind.

3 His name's The Lord our righteousness :
There's nothing to me founds

So fweet as Christ his name and cross,
His love, his blood and wounds.

4 He is my life, my food, my hope,
My refuge, and my guard,

My guide, my pattern, and my prop,
My free and full reward.

5 My Love, my Lamb, my Ranfomer,
My Prieft, my Sacrifice,

My Surety, God, my glorious All,
My foul that fatisfies.

6 Chrift is the mafter I will ferve,

He fhall have all my heart:

Away with fatan and his lufts,

To them I'll give no part.

While I go thro' the wilderness,
By faith I'll lean on thee:

My way, my ftrength, my staff, and reft,

My Jefus ftill fhall be."

8 I'll here below of Jefus fing,

And humbly him adore:

Him

Him take as Prophet, Priest, and King,
And praise him evermore.

HYMN III.

The BLOOD of JESUS.

I BY faith mount Calvary afcend,
Hear there Chrift's piercing cries;
See there him bleeding unto death
As our dear facrifice.

2 Come let us fpread our fins and griefs
At the foot of his cross:

If we in Chrift believe, his blood
Will purge away our drofs.

3 His blood, when sprinkled on our fouls,
Will our protection be;

His blood will fright our enemies,
And get us victory.

4 His Blood will molify our hearts,
And bonds of fin will loose;

His blood will quench the fiery darts
Which fatan at us throws.

5 His blood will wash our fcarlet fins,
And make us white as snow;

His blood will warm our love to God,
And make our graces flow.

6 O Lamb, when thy blood on me drops,
It doth my pardon feal;

It is the balm of Gilead,

That doth my conscience heal.

7 I daily to thy blood refort,

In it I humbly boaft;

It rais'd me from the dreadful pit,
When I was funk and loft.

8 Of crimson fins thy blood removes
Their guilt and power to damn;
Wrath cannot reach me, fince I fled
Unto my bleeding Lamb.
