3 'Twas a heaven below My Redeemer to know, And the angels could do nothing more, Than to fall at his feet, And the story repeat, And the Lover of sinners adore. 4 Jesus all the day long Which I felt in the life-giving blood; I was perfectly blest, As if fill'd with the fulness of God. Comfort arising from a sense of pardon. [APPY soul, who sees the day, H The glad day of Gospel-grace: Thee, my Lord, thou then wilt say, 2 Me, behold, thy mercy spares; Hence, my doubts; away, my fears; 454 5th P. M. 4 lines 7s. Love to the Saviour. ARK, my soul, it is the Lord; Jesus speaks, he speaks to thee:- 455 10th P. M. 8 lines 8s. Thy vows are upon me, O God. The vows he hath vow'd to the Lord? A sinful and impotent worm, How can I be true to my word? I tremble at what I have done : 2 My solemn engagements are vain; The sense of his goodness impart, The healing and cleansing Fountain. faith I to the fountain fly, L. M. BY me, To purge my sins of deepest dye,- 457 2 From Christ, the smitten Rock, it flows, The purple and the crystal stream; Pardon and holiness bestows, And both I gain through faith in him. 13th P. M. 10 10, 11 11. The plenteousness of His grace. WHAT shall I do my Saviour to praise, So faithful and true, so plenteous in grace; So strong to deliver, so good to redeem, The weakest believer that hangs upon him. 2 How happy the man whose heart is set free; The people that can be joyful in thee; Their joy is to walk in the light of thy face, And still they are talking of Jesus's grace. 3 For thou art their boast, their glory, and power, And I also trust to see the glad hour, My soul's new creation, a life from the dead, The day of salvation that lifts up my head. 4 For Jesus, my Lord, is now my defence; I trust in his word; none plucks me from thence; Since I have found favour, he all things will do; My King and my Saviour shall make me anew. 5 Yes, Lord, I shall see the bliss of thine own: Thy secret to me shall soon be made known; For sorrow and sadness I joy shall receive, And share in the gladness of all that believe. 458 14th P. M. 10 11, 10 11. Accepted in the Beloved. LL praise to the Lamb! accepted I am, Name: In him I confide, his blood is applied; ADOPTION AND ASSURANCE. 459 S. M. Knowledge of forgiveness. OW can a sinner know H His sins on earth forgiven? How can my gracious Saviour show 3 We who in Christ believe 5 His love, surpassing far 6 Stronger than death or hell And, conqu'rors of the world, we dwell In heaven, who dwell in love. 460 Continued. The indwelling Spirit. WE by his Spirit prove, S. M. And know the things of God,The things which freely of his love He hath on us bestow'd. 2 His Spirit, which he gave, 6 His glory our design, We live our God to please; And rise, with filial fear divine, To perfect holiness. 461 I Seeking the evidence of acceptance. LISTEN for the voice Which speaks my sins forgiven; S. M. Speak, Lord, and bid my heart rejoice Thy Name O may I prove, Thy Name inscribed on me; And triumph in redeeming love 462 The earnest and pledge of joys to come. should the children of a King Co mourning all their days? Great Comforter, descend and bring The tokens of thy grace. C. M. |
