Sinners fhall learn thy wondrous grace,
And faints thy goodness own.

4 Our tongues fhäll thy redeeming love
With facred rapture tell;

And loud refound Immanuel's praise,
Who faves from death and hell.

HYMN LX. C. M. [RICHARDS.]

Zeal of the Lord of Hofts.

1 ZEAL of the Lord of Hofts! thy zeal,
Zealous to finish fin,

Shall of tranfgreffions make an end,
And righteoufnefs bring in.

2 Yes! righteoufnefs divine, complete,
The righteoufnefs of God,
Imputed to the guilty foul,

By faith in Jefus' blood.

3 And will that God who gave his fon, Refufe this faith to give?

[ocr errors]

Sure, no. It cannot, cannot be ;
Man fhall believe and live.

HYMN LXI. C. M. [WATTS.]

Aaron, and the true Melchizedek.

JESUS, in thee our eyes behold
A thoufand glories more,

Thap fparkled in the gems and gold
The fons of Aaron wore.

2 They first their own burnt-off'rings broughts

Το purge themselves from fin;

3

Thy life was pure without a spot,
And all thy nature clean.

Once in the circuit of a year,
With blood, but not his own,
Aaron within the veil appears,
Before the golden throne.

4 But Chrift by his own pow'rful blood,
Afcends above the skies,

And in the prefence of our God,
Shews his own facrifice.

5 Jefus the king of glory reigns,
On Zion's heav'nly hill,

Looks like a lamb that once was flain,
And wears his priesthood still.

6 He ever lives to intercede

Before his father's face :

Give him, my foul thy cause to plead,
Nor doubt the Father's grace.

HYMN LXII. L. M. [RICHARDS.]

[ocr errors]

Achor's vale, a door of hope.

1 FROM tribulation's gloomy vale,

Where Jefus bow'd, where Jefus bled, The fuff'ring, conq'ring Lamb of God, Shall lift on high, his glorious head. 2 For rebel man, the Saviour died; For man, he burst the rocky tomb; And opes, by death, a door of hope, That enters on the world to come.

3 The bow, the fword, the fting of death, Chrift Jefus' death has took away;

And Achor's vale, this vale of tears,
Now beams with everlafting day.

HYMN LXIV. C. M.

HARK

Offices of Chrift.

[ocr errors][merged small]

ARK the glad found! the Saviour comes
The Saviour promis'd long!

Let ev'ry heart prepare a throne,
And ev'ry voice a fong.

2 On him, the spirit, largely pour'd,

Exerts its facred fire;

Wifdom and might, and zeal and love,
His holy breaft infpire.

3 He comes, the pris'ners to release,

In Satan's bondage held;

The gates

of brafs before him burft,

The iron fetters yield.

4 He comes, from thickeft films of vice, To clear the mental ray ;

5

And on the eye oppreft with night,
To pour celestial day.

He comes, the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding foul to cure;

And, with the treasures of his grace,
Tinrich the humble poor.

6 Our glad Hofannas, Prince of Peace,
Thy welcome fhall proclaim;
And Heav'n's eternal arches ring
With thy beloved name.

HYMN LXV. C. M. [WATTS.]

Subftance of the Levitical Priesthood.
HE true Meffiah now appears,
The types are all withdrawn ;

THE

So fly the fhadows and the flars,
Before the rifing dawn.

2 No fmoking fweets, nor bleeding lambs,
Nor kid nor bullock fain :

Incenfe and fpice of coftly names
Would all be burnt in vain.

3 Aaron muft lay his robes away,

4

His mitre and his veft,

When God himfelf comes down to be

The off'ring, and the priest.

He took our mortal flesh, to fhow

The wonders of his love;

For us he paid his life below,

[blocks in formation]

5 Father, he cries, forgive their fins, For I myself have di'd ;

I

And then he fhows his open'd veins,
And pleads his wounded fide.

HYMN LXVI. L. M. [WATTS.]

The Types and Prophecies fulfilled in Chrift.

BE

EHOLD the woman's promis'd feed !
Behold the great Meffiah come !

Behold the prophets all agreed
To give him the fuperior room!

2 Abram the faint, rejoic'd of old,
When vifions of the Lord he faw;
Mofes, the man of God, foretold
This great fulfiller of his law.

3

The types bore witness to his name,

Obtain'd their chief defign and ceas'd;
