Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by thine help I'm come;
And I hope, by thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.

Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wand'ring from the fold of God;
He to rescue me from danger,
Interpos'd his precious blood.
Oh! to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrain'd to be!
Let that grace now, like a fetter,
Bind my wand'ring heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it from thy courts above.

211. Redemption. 8. 8. 6.
BRIDE of the Lamb, up to the skies
Let daily praise like incense rise,
To join with theirs above;
Worthy is he that once was slain,
A race of rebels to regain,

To have our choicest love.

Into this ark, with great amaze,
The winged seraphs wond'ring gaze,
Redeeming love to trace:

Should mortals, who in part have found Redemption through the Saviour's wounds, Refuse to shout free grace?

Cry then to our Redeemer dear,
He loves his people's voice to hear,
They are his joy and crown;
Ere long we him in clouds shall see,
Cloth'd in pomp and majesty,
His ransom'd flock to own.
Shower down thy grace, O Jesus, now,
Through every vessel let it flow,
Each sick'ning plant to cheer;
Rooted in thee, O may we stand
Unshaken, waiting thy command,
And love thy voice to hear.
Freedom to ev'ry soul proclaim,
In ev'ry heart, O Jesus, reign,
And set the prisoners free;
Now, Lord, relieve each burden'd mind,
And give us all with joy to find
Eternal life in thee.

212. Thankfulness for Redeeming Love,

104th.

OUR Shepherd alone,
The Lord, let us bless,
Who reigns on the throne

The prince of our peace i
Who ever more saves us
By shedding his blood;

All hail, holy Jesus,

Our Lord and our God!

We daily will sing

Thy glory, thy praise,
Thou merciful spring
Of pity and grace,

Thy kindness for ever
To men we will tell,
And say, our dear Saviour
Redeems us from hell!

Preserve us in love

While here we abide,
Nor ever remove,
Nor cover, nor hide
Thy glorious salvation,
Till joyful we see
The beautiful vision
Completed in thee.

213. Morning, 8.6.6. RISE, my soul, adore thy Maker! Angels praise,

Join thy lays,

With them be partaker.

Father, Lord of ev'ry spirit,
In thy light
Lead me right,

Through my Saviour's merit.

O my Jesus, God Almighty,
Pray for me,

Till I see,

Thee in Salem's city.

Holy Ghost, divine instructor,
Guide me still,

Thou this night wast my protector; With me stay

All the day,

Ever my director.

Holy, holy, holy giver
Of all good,

Life and food,
Reign ador'd for ever,

Glory, honour, thanks, and blessing, One in Three,

Give we thee, Never, never ceasing.

214. Evening Hymn. 8, 6.6, ERE I sleep, for ev'ry favour This day shew'd

By my God,

I will bless my Saviour,

O, my Lord, what shall I render
To thy name,

Still the same,

Gracious, good, and tender,

Leave me not, but ever love me;
Let thy peace
Be my bliss

Till thou hence remove me.

Visit me with thy salvation,

Let thy care

Still be near, Round my habitation,

Be my rock, my guard, my tower,
Safely keep,
While I sleep,

Me with all thy power.

Save, O save me from the hidings
Of thy face,

Let thy grace
Cancel my backslidings.

So whene'er in death I slumber,
I shall rise

With the wise,

Counted in their number.

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

Let me know,

Thee below,

Thee above inherit.

215. Praise to Christ Jesus.

BLESSINGS for ever on the Lamb

L. M.

Who bore the curse for wretched man, Let angels sound his sacred name, And ev'ry creature say, Amen.

216. Praise for God's Mercies. L. M.

GIVE to our God immortal praise,
Mercy and truth are all his ways;
Wonders of grace to God belong,
Repeat his mercies in your song.
Give to the Lord of lords renown,
The King of kings with glory crown;
His mercies ever shall endure,

.

When lords and kings are known no more.
