'TIS heaven on earth, Chrift's love to taste, 2 Lord, in my breast the fire doth burn 3 Hallelujah, &c. Men here would know the things below ; But I determin'd am Christ crucify'd alone to know, My facrificed Lamb. 4 The fweetest days we have on earth The comforts I enjoy in these Do yield me most content. 5 Communion Sabbaths here are sweet; In heav'n the Sabbath fweeter is, 6 There Hallelujahs to the Lamb No willows there to hang our harps, 3 U As As oft we find below.

I WE from our free-will and our works For our free-will and nat'ral powers 2 The ftream which from Chrift's pierced fide Muft juftify and cleanse our fouls, Ere we can live with God. 3 Lord, all my doings and my works 4 My righteousness is filthy rags, 5 But, Lord, I plead my Saviour's name, The Lord our Righteoufnefs.' Tho' I could weep a flood of tears, I'd lay no ftrefs thereon: Chrift's blood must wash me and my tears, Or else I am undone. 6 Chrift bears the burden of our fins, And of our duties too: His blood must cleanse our pray'rs and praise And all that we can do. 2 Chrift, who's our Righteoufnefs perfumes Our duties unto God: Weak mints, thro' Chrift, he doth accept; 8 Chrift's works and wounds alone I trust, I'll ever fing his precious name, HYMN XII.

The Wonders of REDEEMING LOVE. 1 DEAR Father, we thee blefs, To draw the rebel from hell's gates 4 A love that was not quench'd By death or deepest wound, Nor by deep ftreams of wrath and blood; 5 A glorious crown he left A thorny crown to wear! And on his bruifed wounded back 6 Mens fins, each was a thorn, By them thy bleffed flesh was torn ; 7 Yet garments dy'd with blood, The thorns thy head that tare, Endear thee more to thine, than robes And gems which monarchs wear. 8 Our flain Lamb now appears Before God's awful throne; There offers up our praise and pray'rs : He takes them from his Son. Let faints and angels join The dear love to proclaim |
