And there may I, as vile as he
Wash all my sins away.

3 Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power,

Till all the ransom'd church of God
Be sav'd to sin no more.

4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream,
Thy flowing wounds supply,.
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be-till I die.

5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing thy pow'r to save;
When this poor, lisping, stam'ring tongue
Lies silent in the grave.

HYMN 37-C. M.

Efficacious Grace.

HAIL! mighty Jesus! how divine

Is thy victorious sword!

The stoutest rebel must resign
At thy commanding word.

2 Deep are the wounds thine arrows give, They pierce the hardest heart;

Thy smiles of grace the slain revive,
And joy succeeds to smart.

3 Still gird thy sword upon thy thigh;
Ride with majestic sway;

Go forth, sweet prince, triumphantly,
And make thy foes obey.

4 And when thy victories are complete,
When all the chosen race

Shall round the throne of glory, meet
To sing thy conquering grace.-

O may my humble soul be found
Among that favor'd band;
And I, with them, thy praise will sound
Throughout Immanuel's land,

HYMN 38.-L. M.

The example of Christ.

M'I read my duty in thy word.

Y dear Redeemer, and my Lord,

But in thy life the law appears,'
Drawn out in living characters.

2 Such was thy truth and such thy zeal,
Such deference to thy Father's will,
Such love, and meekness so divine,
I would transcribe, and make them mine.

3 Cold mountains, and the midnight air, Witness'd the fervor of thy prayer;

The desert thy temptations knew,
Thy conflict and thy victory too.

Be thou my pattern, make me bear
More of thy gracious image here:
Then God the Judge, shall own my name,
Among the followers of the Lamb.

HYMN 39.-C. M.

Devotion.

HILST thee I seek protecting pow'r,

W Be my vain wishes still'd;

And may this consecrated hour
With better hopes be fill'd.

2 Thy love the power of tho't bestow'd,
To thee my thoughts would soar;
Thy mercy o'er my life has flow'd!
That mercy I adore.

3 In each event of life, how clear
Thy ruling hand I see!

Each blessing to my soul most dear,
Because conferr'd by thee.

4 In every joy that crowns my days,
In every pain I bear

My heart shall find delight in praise,
Or seek relief in prayer.

5 When gladness wings my favor'd hour Thy love my thoughts shall fill; Resign'd, when storms of sorrow low'r My soul shall meet thy will.

6 My lifted eye, without a tear,
The gathering storm shall see;
My steadfast heart shall know no fear,
That heart will rest on thee.

HYMN 40.-P. M.

THE Lord into his garden comes,
The spices yield a rich perfume,
The lilies grow and thrive.

Refreshing showers of grace divine,
From Jesus flow to every vine,
And make his people one.

20 that this dry and barren ground
In springs of water may abound,
A fruitful soil become.

The desert blossom as the rose,
When Jesus conquers all his foes,
And makes his people one.

3 The glorious time is rolling on, The gracious work is now begua, My soul a witness is.

I taste and see the pardon free,

[ocr errors]

For all mankind as well as me,
Who come to Christ may live.

4 The worst of sinners here may find
A Saviour pitiful and kind,
Who will them all receive

None are too late who will repent,
Out of one sinner legions went,
Jesus did him relieve.

5 Come brethren, all who love the Lord, And taste the sweetness of his word, In Jesus' ways go on.

Our troubles and our trials here,
Will only make us richer there,
When we arrive at home.

6 We feel that heaven is now begun,
It issues from the shining throne,
Of Jesus Christ on high.

It comes like floods we can't contain,
We drink, and drink, and drink again
And yet for more we cry.

7 But when we come to reign above,
And all surround a throne of love,
We'll drink a full supply.

Jesus will lead his armies through,
To living fountains where they flow,
Which never will run dry.
