4 I spurn'd his grace, I broke his laws,
And yet he undertook my cause,
To save me though I did rebel :
My Jesus has done all things well.
5 And since my soul has known his love,
What mercies has he made me prove!
Mercies which do all praise excel:
My Jesus has done all things well.
6 Though many a fiery flaming dart,
The tempter levels at my heart;
With this I all his rage repel,
My Jesus has done all things well.
7 Soon shall I pass the vale of death,
And in his arms shall lose my breath;
Yet then my happy soul shall tell
My Jesus has done all things well.
8 And when to that bright world I rise
And join the anthems in the skies;
Above the rest this note shall swell,
My Jesus has done all things well.
HYMN 200. 4-6's & 2-8's.
Praise to the Redeemer.
COME, every pious heart,
That loves the Saviour's name,
Your noblest powers exert,
To celebrate his fame!
Tell all above, and all below,
The debt of love to him we owe.
2 He left his starry crown,
And laid his robes aside;
On wings of love came down,
And wept, and bled, and died:
What he endured, oh! who can tell!
To save our souls from death and hell.
3 From the dark grave he rose,
The mansions of the dead;
And thence his mighty foes
In glorious triumph led:
"Worthy the Lamb."
Up through the sky the Conqueror rode,
And reigns on high the Saviour God.
From thence he'll quickly come→
His chariot will not stay-
And bear our spirits home
To realms of endless day:
There shall we see his lovely face, And triumph in his pard'ning grace. 5 Jesus, we ne'er can pay
The debt we owe thy love;
Yet tell us how we may
Our gratitude approve :
Our hearts, our all, to thee we give :
Thine may we die, thine may we live.
"Worthy the Lamb."
GLORY to God on high!
Let heaven and earth reply,
Praise ye his name!
Angels his love adore,
Who all our sorrows bore;
And saints cry evermore,
Worthy the Lamb!
2 All they around the throne,
Cheerfully join in one,
Praising his name:
We who have felt his blood,
Sealing our peace with God,
Sound we his fame abroad:
Worthy the Lamb!
3 Join all the ransom'd race,
Our Lord and God to bless ;
Praise ye his name!
In him may all rejoice,
Making a cheerful noise;
And shout with heart and voice,
Worthy the Lamb!
Honour and Praise due to Christ.
4 Though we must change our place,
Yet shall we never cease
Praising his name:
To him we'll tribute bring;
Hail him our gracious King;
And, without ceasing, sing,
Worthy the Lamb!
HYMN 202. 4-7's.
Christ our Protector and Guide.
Now with one consent we sing,
Glory to our God and King;
All our hearts and voices raise,
To proclaim the Saviour's praise.
2 While in him we live and move,
He defends us by his love;
Wandering through the desert land,
He upholds us by his hand.
3 He, in every time and place,
Manifests his guardian grace;
Every day and every hour,
Shields us by his constant power.
4 While we see each other's face,
Gladly we unite to bless
Him that leads us by his love
To his blissful throne above.
5 May we walk with God below,
In his likeness daily grow;
Till our joyful spirits rise
To behold him in the skies.
HYMN 203.
Honour and Praise due to Christ.
To thee, my Saviour, and my Lord,
A lofty song I'll raise:
While love inspires my glowing heart,
And forms my lips to praise.
Praise to the Holy Spirit.
2 Worthy for ever is the Lamb,
That bore our sins away:
But oh! what tribute can we give?
What equal honours pay?
3 Millions of saints thy grace proclaim,
In noblest strains above;
But not an angel's tongue can tell
The wonders of thy love.
4 Bless'd seraphs sing thy matchless love,
And shout thy high renown;
Archangels, at thy sacred feet,
Lay their bright glories down.
5 Reign, mighty Prince! for ever reign,
Till death himself be dead;
And let eternal ages shower
Their blessings on thy head.
6 Thus will I sing, till nature fails;
Till sense and language die;
And then resume the pleasing theme,
In happier worlds on high.
SECTION IV.
PRAISE: TO THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Praise to the Holy Spirit
CREATOR, Spirit, by whose aid
The world's foundations first were laid,
Come visit every pious mind;
Come pour thy joys upon mankind;
From sin and sorrow set us free,
And make us temples worthy thee.
2 Thou strength of his Almighty hand,
Whose pow'r does heav'n and earth command:
Thrice holy fount! thrice holy fire!
Our hearts with holy love inspire:
Come, and thy sacred unction bring,
To sanctify us while we sing.
3 Plenteous of grace, descend from high,
Rich in thy seven-fold energy;
Give us thyself, that we may see
The Father and the Son by Thee;
Make us eternal truths receive,
And practise all that we believe.
4 Immortal honour, endless fame,
Attend the Almighty Father's name!
Let God the Son be glorified,
Who for lost man's redemption died;
And equal adoration be,
Eternal Spirit! paid to Thee!
SECTION V.
PRAISE: TO THE TRINITY.
The Triune God.
FATHER, in whom we live,
In whom we are and move,
The glory, power, and praise receive,
Of thy creating love:
Let all the angel-throng
Give thanks to God on high;
While earth repeats the joyful song,
And echoes through the sky.
Incarnate Deity,
Let all the ransom'd race,
Render in thanks their lives to thee,
For thy redeeming grace:
The grace to sinners show'd,
Ye heavenly choirs, proclaim;
And cry, Salvation to our God!
Salvation to the Lamb!
