8s, 7s & 4s. TUNE 585. When exposed to fearful dangers, Borne afar 'mid foes and strangers, Shall be with you to the end. Behold, a great multitude, which no man can number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, who are before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. THE SEASON OF LENT. O THOU LAMB OF GOD, which takest away the sin of the world, Give unto us thy peace. Lord God, our FATHER in heaven, thou hast manifested thy great love toward us, because that thou hast sent thy Son into the world to be the propitiation for our sins. We give thee thanks, that thou hast made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light, having delivered us from the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of thy dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. L. M. CHOIR. Give to our God immortal praise; Repeat his mercies in your song. TUNE 22. ALL. He sent his Son with power to save Repeat his mercies in your song. Lord God, SoN, thou Saviour of the world, forasmuch as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, thou didst also thyself likewise take part of the same, that through death thou mightest destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. Thou wast in all things made like unto thy brethren, that thou mightest be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. Thou wast despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Thou wast wounded for our transgressions; thou wast bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement of our peace was upon thee; and with thy stripes are we healed. L. M. Maker of all things, Lord our God, From endless woe and misery; What heights, what depths of love divine Let heaven and earth unite their lays, TUNE 22. Lord God, HOLY GHOST, thou didst descend and abide upon him; thou didst anoint him to preach the gospel to the poor; to heal the broken-hearted; to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind; to set at liberty them that are bruised; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. In him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. 79. CHOIR. NOW with angels round the throne, Cherubim and seraphim, And the church which still is one, Glory to the slaughtered Lamb! ALL.-Blessing, honor, glory, might, To the Father of our Lord, From the sin of unbelief, From all defilement of the flesh and spirit, From all self-righteousness, From every neglect of our duty, From ingratitude and selfishness, From lukewarmness, TUNE 581. From all indifference to thy meritorious life and death, E 7s & 68. What language shall I borrow Oh, should I leave thee ever, Outlive my love to thee. TUNE 151. By thy holy incarnation and birth; thine early exile; thy pure and blameless childhood; thy willing obedience; thy humility, meekness and patience; thy faithfulness in thine earthly calling; thy perfect life before God and man, Help us, O Christ, to dedicate both soul and body to thy service. By thy willing sacrifice of thyself even unto death, 10s & 7s. Lamb of God, thou shalt remain for ever TUNE 185. For thy boundless love, thy grace and favor, That for our transgressions thou wast wounded, When we, perfected in love, Once shall join the church above. Into thine open arms stretched out upon the cross, Receive us all. 8s & 78. In the cross of Christ I glory, Gathers round its head sublime. When the sun of bliss is beaming Peace is there, that knows no measure, Joys that through all time abide. TUNE 167. By all thy sacred wounds and precious blood, By thy glorious resurrection and ascension, C. M. There is a fountain filled with blood, And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, TUNE 14. Fulfill in us thy prayer that all who love thee may be one, as thou art in the Father, and the Father in thee. Hear us and help us, gracious Saviour. Thou hast declared unto us the Father's name, that the love wherewith he hath loved thee may be in us, And thou in us. CHRIST, AND HIM CRUCIFIED, MINISTER. Most Holy Lord and God, Holy, Almighty God, CHOIR.-Holy and most merciful Saviour, C. M. Thou eternal God! ALL.-Grant that we may never Lose the comforts of thy death: Have mercy, O Lord. TUNE 519. ¶ In place of this hymn, may be sung the following: Thou art the way, the truth, the life: That truth to keep that life to win, TUNE 593. 7s & 68. EASTER. CHOIR.-The day of resurrection, ALL. From death to life eternal, From earth unto the sky, Our Christ hath brought us over, TUNE 151, Our hearts be pure from evil, May hear, so calm and plain, May raise the victor-strain. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to his abundant mercy, hath begotten us again unto a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead;-unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved for us in heaven. Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, for ever and ever. He was delivered for our offences: And was raised again for our justification. Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died; yea rather, that is risen again; who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors, through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord. 88 & 78. CHOIR.-Hallelujah! hallelujah! Hearts to heaven and voices raise; MINISTER.-He, who on the cross a victim For the world's salvation bled, ALL.-Christ is risen, Christ the first-fruits TUNE 167. |
