St. Ann's. [*]

Christ a Saviour.

HE Saviour! oh, what endless charms
Dwell in the blissful sound!

THE

Its influence every fear disarms,

And spreads sweet peace around. d 2 Here pardon, life, and joys divine, In rich effusion flow,

For guilty rebels, lost in sin,

And doomed to endless wo.

3 Oh, the rich depths of love divine,
Of bliss, a boundless store!

Dear Saviour, let me call thee mine;
I cannot wish for more.

4 On thee alone my hope relies,

Beneath thy cross I fall;

My Lord, my life, my sacrifice,
My Saviour, and my all.

Christ, "the Way, the Truth, and the Life." John

xiv, 6.

-2 Could my tears for ever flow,
Could my zeal no languor know,
These for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and thou alone:
In my hand no price I bring,
Simply to thy cross I cling.

-3 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyes shall close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown,
And behold thee on thy throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in thee.

HYMN 266. C. M. Mentz. [b]
Christ our Example.

p 1 BEHOLD where, in a mortal form,

Appears each grace divine!

The virtues, all in Jesus met,
With mildest radiance shine.

o 2 To spread the rays of heavenly light,
To give the mourner joy,

To preach glad tidings to the poor,
Was his divine employ.

p 3 Lowly in heart, to all his friends
A friend and servant found,

He washed their feet, he wiped their tears,
And healed each bleeding wound.

4 Midst ken reproach and cruel scorn,
Patient and meek he stood;

His foes, ungrateful, sought his life:
Ho laboured for their good.

5 In the last hour of deep distress,
Before his Father's throne,

With soul resigned, he bowed, and said, "Thy will, not mine, be done!"

6 Be Christ our pattern and our guide, His image may we bear!

Oh may we tread his holy steps,

His joy and glory share.

HYMN 267. 78. Hotham. [b]
Christ our Example in Suffering.

p1 GO to dark Gethsemane,

U Ye who feel the Tempter's power: Your Redeemer's conflict see;

Watch with him one bitter hour:

Turn not from his griefs away; Learn from him to watch and pray. 2 See him at the judgment-hall,

Beaten, bound, reviled, arraigned: See him meekly bearing all !

Love to man his soul sustained!
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss;
Learn of Christ to bear the cross.

3 Calvary's mournful mountain view;
There the Lord of Glory see,
Made a sacrifice for you,

Dying on th' accursed tree:
"It is finished," hear him cry;
Trust in Christ and learn to die.

4 Early to the tomb repair,

Where they laid his breathless clay; Angels kept their vigils there:

Who hath taken him away?

"Christ is risen!" he seeks the skies; Saviour! teach us so to rise.

HYMN 268. C. M. Woodstock. [b]

Christ precious. 1 Pet. ii, 7.

HOW sweet the name of Jesus sounds

In a believer's ear!

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.

2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul,

And to the weary, rest.

3 By him, my prayers acceptance gain, Although with sin defiled;

Satan accuses me in vain,

And I am owned a child.

4 Weak is the effort of my heart,
And cold my warmest thought;
But when I see thee, as thou art,
I'll praise thee as Í ought.

5 Till then, I would thy love proclaim,
With every fleeting breath:

And may the music of thy name

Refresh my soul in death.

Newton.

HYMN 269. H. M. Haddam. [*]

1 JESUS, harmonious Name!

It charms the hosts above:

They evermore proclaim
And wonder at his love;
'Tis all their happiness to gaze;
"Tis heaven to see our Jesus' face.

2 His name the sinner hears,
And is from sin set free:
"Tis music in his ears,
'Tis life and victory:

New songs do now his lips employ
And dances his glad heart for joy.
3 Stung by the monster sin,
My poor expiring soul
The balmy sound drinks in,
And is at once made whole:
See there my Lord upon the tree!
I hear, I feel, he died for me.

4 O unexampled love!
O all-redeeming grace!

How swiftly didst thou move
To save a fallen race!

What shall I do to make it known

What thou for all mankind hast done?

5 O for a trumpet-voice,
On all the world to call!
To bid their hearts rejoice

In him who died for all!

For all my Lord was crucified:

For all, for all, my Saviour died. Wesley's Col

Chief among Ten Thousand; or the Excellencies of

ΜΑ

Christ.

AJESTIC sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Saviour's brow;

His head with radiant glories crowned,
His lips with grace o'erflow.

2 To him I owe my life and breath,
And all the joys I have:

o He makes me triumph over death, And saves me from the grave.

3 To heaven, the place of his abode, He brings my weary feet; o Shows me the glories of my God, And makes my joys complete.

4 Since from his bounty I receive
Such proofs of love divine,
Had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord, they should all be thine.

HYMN 271. C. M. St. Martin's. [*]
The Day of Pentecost.

LET songs of praises fill the sky!
Christ, our ascended Lord,

Sends down his Spirit from on high,
According to his word.

o 2 The Spirit, by his heavenly breath,
New life creates within:

He quickens sinners from the death
Of trespasses and sin.

-3 The things of Christ the Spirit takes,
And shows them unto men;
The fallen soul his temple makes,
God's image stamps again.

4 Come, Holy Spirit, from above,
With thy celestial fire:

Come, and with flames of zeal and love
Our hearts and tongues inspire.

HYMN 272. 8 & 7. Sicilian. [*]

HOLY

LY GHOST! dispel our sadness,
Pierce the clouds of nature's night:
Come, thou source of joy and gladness,
Breathe thy life and spread thy light.
e 2 Hear, oh! hear our supplication,
Blessed Spirit! God of Peace!
Rest upon this congregation,
With th' abundance of thy grace.
3 Author of our new creation!
Bid us all thine influence prove:
Make our souls thy habitation;
Shed abroad the Saviour's love
