4 Judge not the LORD by feeble sense, The bud may have a bitter taste, 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, 80. Christ worthy of all praise. (C. M.) 1 COME let us join our cheerful songs With angels round the throne; Ten thousand thousand are their tongues, 2" Worthy the Lamb that died!" they cry, "To be exalted thus: Worthy the Lamb!" our hearts reply, "For He was slain for us." 3 JESUS is worthy to receive Honour and pow'r divine; And praises, more than we can give, 4 Let all that dwell above the sky, Of HIM that sits upon the throne, APPENDIX. 81. The Angel's Song, at the Birth of Christ. - 1 WHILE shepherds watch'd their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the LORD came down, 2 "Fear not," said he-for mighty dread To you and all mankind." 3" To you, in David's town, this day The SAVIOUR, who is CHRIST the Lord, 4 "The heav'nly Babe you there shall find, "All meanly wrapt in swathing bands, 5 Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith 6" All glory be to God on high, "Goodwill, henceforth, from Heav'n to men, Begin and never cease." 66 82. For a Sermon before THE ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY, for the Recovery of Persons apparently drowned. (L. M.) 1 WHEN Israel, press'd by Pharaoh, stood Affrighted on the Red-Sea shore, At Thy rebuke, O LORD, the flood Retired: the ransom'd tribes pass'd o'er. 2 When Jonah was cast out to die, And all Thy storms went o'er His head, Thou from the depths didst hear his cry, And raise him thence as from the dead, 3 When Peter, walking on the wave, Felt his faith fail, his footsteps sink, And snatch'd him from destruction's brink. 4 Within Thy courts, great God! behold A little grateful band appear; O'er these the whelming waters roll'd, But help was nigh, and they are here: 5 Here, in Thy courts, their vows to pay, And praise Thee with their living breath; -Where had their spirits been this day, Had'st Thou not rescued them from death? 6 Redeem'd from the devouring tomb, Restor❜d to life, and joy, and bliss, O save them from a deeper doom, And to a happier world than this! 83. Christ the source of Eternal Life.. (C. M.). "LORD, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life." JOHN vi. 68. 1 LORD, should we leave Thine hallow'd feet, To whom could we repair? Where else such holy comforts meet 2 Unmingled joys 'tis THINE to give, For Thou canst teach us so to live, 3 Thou only canst the cheering words Anointed of the LORD OF LORds, 84. For the Restoration of the Jews. 1 ARISE, O GOD! and let Thy grace 2 How long shall Jacob's offspring prove 3 In pity, all their errors heal, 4 Thy quick'ning Spirit now impart, And wake to joy each grateful heart; May Israel's ransom'd tribes in Thee Their bliss and and full salvation see ! 85. On the Day of Judgment. (L. M.) ~ 1 THAT day of wrath! that dreadful day, 2 When, shrivelling like a parched scroll, 3 O! on that day, that dreadful day, CONCLUDING HYMNS. 86. Hymn after Sermon. (L. M.) 1 LORD, now we part in Thy blest name, To work Thy will and spread Thy praise. 2 Teach us in life and death to bless |
