The bosom of the Father leaves,
And enters human clay.

The Messenger of grace, citing

And on the bloody tree expires, du
A victim in our place.

In him salvation find:

His blood removes the foulest guilt,
His Spirit heals the mind.

4 Our Jesus saves from sin and hell; be

His words are true and sure,

And on this rock our faith may rest &

And let the high angelic praise

Our tuneful powers employ! fuos aill, I 6 Glory to God, who gave his Son opoff To bear our shame and pain!ot ha Hence peace on earth, and grace to men, In endless blessings reign.' DR. GIBBONS,

The Gospel is the power of God to Salvation, Rom. 1.16.

1 WHAT shall the dying sinner do

That seeks relief for all his woe? Where shall the guilty conscience find Ease for the torment of the mind? VA 2 How shall we get our crimes forgiven, Or form our natures fit for heaven? Can souls, all o'er defil'd with sin, Make their own powers and passions clean? 3 But who, in Honkerginbat Dear bring thy gospel night god s BiH W "Tis there that power and glory dwell Which save rebellious souls from hell! 4 This is the pillar of our hope is That bears our fainting spirits up; We read the grace, we trust the word, And find salvation in the Lord.
