NATHER, I sing thy wondrous grace,

He bought salvation for the poor,

And bore the sinner's shame.

o 2 His deep distress has rais'd us high :
His duty and his zeal

Fulfill'd the law, which mortals broke,
And finish'd all thy will.

-3 His dying groans, his living songs,
Shall better please my God,

Than harp's or trumpet's solemn sound,
Than goat's or bullock's blood.

o 4 This shall his humble foll'wers see,
And set their hearts at rest;

-They, by his death, draw near to thee,
And live for ever blest.

85 Let heav'n, and all that dwell on high,
To God their voices raise;

While lands and seas assist the sky,
And join t' advance his praise.

g 6 Zion is thine, most holy God;
Thy Son shall bless her gates:
And glory, purchas'd by his blood,
For thine own Israel waits.

Aton'd for sins that we had done.

The honours of thy law restor❜d,
His sorrows made thy justice known,
And paid for follies not his own.

And let the mourning sinner live!

Nor shall our hope be turn'd to shame.

MY God, my everlasting hope,

live upon thy truth;

Thine hands have held my childhood up,
And strengthen'd all my youth.

2 My flesh was fashion'd by thy pow'r,
With all these limbs of mine;
And from my mother's painful hour,
I've been entirely thine.

3 Still has my life new wonders seen,
Repeated ev'ry year;

Behold my days that yet remain,

I trust them to thy care.

4 Cast me not off when strength declines,
When hoary hairs arise;
-And round me let thy glories shine,
Whene'er thy servant dies.

o 5 Then in the hist'ry of my age,
When men review my days,
They'll read thy love in ev'ry page,
In ev'ry line-thy praise.

My soul redeem'd from sin and hell,
Shall thy salvation sing.

My Saviour and my God;

I'll entertain the darkest hours,

Nor think the season long.]
