2 Standing now as newly slain, To thee I lift mine eye, Thy blond is always nigh. Thou art, and wilt for ever be : Thy blood was shed for me. 3 Nothing have I, Lord, to pay, Nor can thy grace procure; For I, thou know'st am poor; My all is sin and misery : Thy blood was shed for me. 4 No good word, or work, or thought, Bring I to buy thy grace; Thy proffer I embrace. To take, and not bestow on thee , Thy blood was shed for me. I never will depart; When I am pure in heart: This only shall be all my plea, Thy blood was shed for me. 1 G Jordan.) HYMN 108. C. M. OD of all grace and majesty, If I have mercy found with thee Through the atoning blood; And to my pardon join Thy gracious Spirit divine. 2 If mercy is indeed with thee, May I obedient prove, Or sin against thy love: On a poor sojourner; In humbleness and fear. My strict observer see; My child-like heart to thee: At Jesu's feet abide : And seat me by his side. Y God, my life, my love, to thee I call : For thou art all in all. This dungeon where I dwell : If thou depart 'tis hell. 3 The smilings of thy face, How amiable they are ! 'Tis heaven to rest in thine embrace, And no where else but there. 1 MY 4 To thee, and thee alone, The angels owe their bliss ; And dwell where Jesus is. 5 Not all the harps above, Can make a heavenly place, Or but conceal his face. 6 Nor earth, nor all the sky, Can one delight afford; Without thy presence, Lord. 7 Thou art the sea of love, Where all my pleasures roll: * And centre of my soul. 8 To thee my spirits fly, With infinite desire: O Jesus, raise me higher. Hamilton.] HYMN 110. L. M. 1 I God, To wash me in thy cleansing blood; For ever clos'd to all but thee! That pledge of love for ever there. 3 How blest are they who still abide Close shelter'd in thy bleeding side! 4 What are our works but sin and death, Till thou thy quick’ning Spirit breathe ? O wond'rous grace! O boundless love! 5 How can it be, thou heavenly King, That thou should'st us to glory bring; Deck'd with a never-fading crown? 6 Hence our hearts melt, our eyes o'erflow, Our words are lost, nor will we know, “My Lord, my love is crucify'd.” To know the wonders thou hast wrought; Unloose our stamm’ring tongues to tell Thy love immense, unsearchable ! 3 First born of many brethren thou, To thee, lo, all our souls we bow : Arundel.] HYMN 111. C. M. 1 ESUS, thou all-redeeming Lord, Open the door to preach thy word, The great, effectual door. From sin and Satan's power; And know their gracious hour. What thou hast bought so dear: Come, then, and in thy people's eyes, With all thy wounds appear! 4 Appear, as when of old confest,". The suffering Son of God; But newly dipt in blood. 5 The hardness from their hearts remove, Thou who for all hast died : Show them the tokens of thy love, Thy feet, thy hands, thy side. To trample down their sin; To take thy murderers in. 7 Thy side an open fountain is, Where all may freely go, And wash them white as snow. And prove the record true: And all thy wounds to sinners cry, "I suffer'd this for you!” Bethel.] HYMN 112. C. M. Ghost, One God in persons three, Bring back the heavenly blessing lost By all mankind and me. 2 Thy favour and thy nature too, To me, to all restore; Forgive, and after God renew, And keep me evermore. Display thy beams divine, Upon my heart to shine. |
