And charge my flesh, whene'er it rise, 5 My purer spirit shall not fear Its tempting pow'rs no more are there, HYMN CL. Rom, XI. 25-6. 3 Come, then, thou great Deliv❜rer, come, HYMN CLI. Rom. XII. 1. 1 AND will th' eternal King So mean a gift regard? That off'ring, Lord, with joy we bring, 2 We own thy various claim; 21 The willing victims of thy grace, 3 Descend, celestial fire! The sacrifice inflame: So shall a grateful odour rise, wwahil HYMN CLII. 1 Cor. 1. 21-4. 1 THIS is the word of truth and love, Sent to the nations from above :* Jehovah here resolves to shew, What his almighty grace can do. 2 This remedy did wisdom find, To heal diseases of the mind; This sov'reign balm, whose virtues can Restore the ruin'd creature, man.. 3 The gospel bids the dead revive; Sinners obey the voice, and live: Dry bones are rais'd, and cloth'd afresh, And hearts of stone are turn'd to flesh. 4 Where Satan reign'd in shades of night, The gospel strikes a heav'nly light; Our lusts its wondrous power controuls, And calms the rage of angry souls. 5 Lions and beasts of savage name Put on the nature of the lamb; While the vain world esteem it strange, HYMN CLIII. 1 Cor. 1. 30. 2 Our guilty souls are drown'd in tears, Till his atoning blood appears: Then we awake from deep distress, And sing "The Lord our Righteousness." 3 Our very frame is mix'd with sin; His Spirit makes our natures clean: Such virtues from his suff'rings flow, At once to cleanse and pardon too. 4 Jesus beholds where Satan reigns, Binding his slaves in heavy chains : He sets the pris'ners free, and breaks The iron bondage from our necks. 5 Poor helpless worms in thee possess Grace, wisdom, power, and righteousness: Thou art our mighty All, and we Give our whole selves, O Lord, to thee. HYMN CLIV. 1 Cor. 11. 9-10. 1 NOR eye has seen, nor ear has heard, 3 But the good Spirit of the Lord The beams of glory in his word 3 Pure are the joys above the sky, No wanton lips, nor envious eye, 4 Those holy gates for ever bar Pollution, sin, and shame: None shall obtain admittance there,.. R 5 He keeps the Father's book of life; HYMN CLV. 1 Cor. i. 21. I 1 How vast the treasure we possess! 5 Father, I wait thy daily will: Thou shalt divide my portion still: Grant me on earth what seems thee best, Till death and heav'n reveal the rest. HYMN CLVI. 1 Cor. xv. 55-7. 1 OH for an overcoming faith, To triumph o'er the monster death," 2 Joyful with all the strength I have, "Where is thy boasted vict'ry, Grave! "And where the monster's sting!"r 3 If sin be pardon'd, I'm secure ; Death has no sting beside: The law gives sin its damning power; But Christ, my ransom, died. 4 Now to the God of victory Immortal thanks be paid, Who makes us conqu'rors while we die, HYMN CLVII. 1 Cor. xvi. 13. 1 ARE we the soldiers of the cross, 2 Now we must fight, if we would reign;" Increase our courage, Lord! We'll bear the toil, endure the pain, 3 Suppress our shame, subdue our fear, That we may make thy power appear, 4 Thy saints in all this glorious war 5 When that illustrious day shall rise, In robes of vict'ry, through the skies," The glory shall be thine |
