e 5 There for sinners thou art pleading; There thou dost our place prepare; Ever for us interceding,

Till in heaven we appear.

o 6 Glory, honour, power and blessing, Thou art worthy to receive;

o Loudest praises, without ceasing, Meet it is for us to give.

RIPPON'S COL,

HYMN 33. 7s. Redeeming Love. [*]

NOW

Redeeming Love.

OW begin the heavenly theme,
Sing aloud in Jesus' name;

-Ye who Jesus' kindness prove,
Triumph in redeeming love.

2 Ye who see the Father's grace,
Beaming in the Saviour's face,
o As to Canaan on ye move,ew
Praise and bless redeeming love.

e 3 Mourning souls, dry up your tears,
Banish all your guilty fears;
• See your guilt and curse remove,
Cancelled by redeeming love

e 4 Ye, alas! who long have been
Willing slaves of death and sin!
-Now from bliss no longer rove;
Stop, and taste redeeming love.

o 5 Welcome, all by sin oppressed-
Welcome to his sacred rest:
d Nothing brought him from above,
Nothing-but redeeming love.

o 6 He subdued th' infernal powers;
His tremendous foes and ours
From their cursed empire drove,
Mighty in redeeming love.

o 7 Hither, then, your music bring,
u Strike aloud each joyful string;
-Mortals, join the hosts above-
g Join to praise redeeming love.

The Necessity of Renewing Grace.

HOW

OW helpless guilty nature lies,
Unconscious of its load!

e The heart, unchanged, can never rise
To happiness and God.

p 2 The will perverse, the passions blind,
In paths of ruin stray;
Reason, debased, can never find

The safe, the narrow way.

e 3 Can aught, beneath a power divine, The stubborn will subdue?

[ocr errors]

o 'Tis thine, almighty Saviour, thine, yours To form the heart anew.

"Tis thine the passions to recall, And upward bid them rise; And make the scales of error fall, From reason's darkened eyes.

5 To chase the shades of death away, And bid the sinner live;

A beam of heaven, a vital ray

'Tis thine alone to give.

p 6 O change these wretched hearts of ours, And give them life divine !

11

o Then shall our passions and our powers, Almighty Lord, be thine!

HYMN 35. S. M. Watchman. [*]

Prayer for the Spirit. John xiv. 26,

OME, Holy Spirit, come,
Let thy bright beams arise;

Dispel the sorrow from our minds-
The darkness from our eyes.

2 Convince us of our sin;
Then lead to Jesus' blood;

And to our wondering view reveal
The secret love of God.

3 Revive our drooping faith;
Our doubts and fears remove⚫
And kindle in our breasts the flame
Of never-dying love.

4 'Tis thine to cleanse the heart-
To sanctify the soul—
To pour fresh life in every part,
And new-create the whole.

5 Dwell, Spirit, in our hearts;
Our minds from bondage free;

Then shall we know, and praise, and love,
The Father, Son, and Thee.

HYMN 36. L. M. Carthage. [b]
Sorrow for Sin.

THAT load of sin were gone!

POO that I could at last subunit!

-At Jesus' feet to lay me down-
To lay my soul at Jesus' feet.

e 2 Rest for my soul I long to find:
Saviour of all, if mine thou art—
Give me thy meek, thy lowly mind,
And stamp thine image on my heart.
-3 Break off the yoke of inbred sin,
And fully set my spirit free;
I cannot rest till pure within,"
Till I am wholly lost in thee.

4 Fam would I learn of thee, my God;
Thy light and easy burden prøve-

The cross, all stained with hallowed blood
The labour of thy dying love. 13, 14

d 5 I would-but thou must give the power;
My heart from every sin release;

Bring near, bring near the joyful hour,"
And fill me with thy perfect peace.

o 6 Come, Lord, the drooping sinner cheer,
Nor let thy chariot wheels delay;
Appear, in my poor heart appear;
My God, my Saviour, come away.

HYMN 37. C. M. Canterbury. Wantage. [b]

Repentance.

Has wandered from the Lord!

W oft, alas! this wretched heart

How oft my roving thoughts depart,
Forgetful of his word!

2 Yet sovereign mercy calls-"Return : ”
Dear Lord, and may I come?

My vile ingratitude I mourn:

O take the wanderer home.

3 And canst thou wilt thou yet forgive,
And bid my crimes remove?
And shall a pardoned rebel live,
To speak thy wondrous love?
4 Almighty grace, thy healing power,
How glorious-how divine!
That can to life and bliss restore,
So vile a heart as mine.

5 Thý pardoning love-so free-so sweet-
Dear Saviour, I adore;

O keep me at thy sacred feet,
And let me rove no more.

STEELE.

HYMN 38. L. M. Armley. [b].
Sinner submitting to God.

W Hopeless to burst this sinful chain,

TEARY of struggling with my pain,

At length I give the contest o'er,
And seek to free myself no more.

2 From my own works at last I cease-
God, who creates, must seal my peace;
Fruitless my toil, and vain my care,
Unless thy sovereign grace I share.
e 3 Lord, I despair myself to heal;
I see my sin, but cannot feel;
I cannot, till thy Spirit blow,
And bid th' obedient waters flow.
4 'Tis thine a heart of flesh to give;
Thy gifts I only can receive;
Here, then, to thee I all resign;
To draw, redeem, and seal is thine.

5 Speak, gracious Lord, my sickness cure;
Make my infected nature pure;

Peace, righteousness, and joy, impart,
And pour thyself into my heart.

thousand thoughts revolve;

Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed,
And make this last resolve:~

"Hath like a mountam rose; b

Whatever may oppose.

"For if I stay away, I know
"I must forever die."

Clark's... [b *]

The Heart healed by Mercy! IN enslaved me many years, And led me bound and blind; Till at length a thousand fears

Came swarming o'er my mind. o Where (I said in deep distress) Will these sinful pleasures end? How shall secure my peace, And make the Lord my friend? -2 Friends and ministers said much, The gospel to enforce ;

e But my blindness still was such, I chose a legal course :

1

Much fasted, watched, and strove,
Scarce would show my face abroad;

e Feared, almost, to speak or move...,
A stranger still to God."

-3 Thus afraid to trust his grace, Long time did I rebel;

e Till, despairing of my case, Down at his feet I fell
