3. Own ye his name; and seek to prove The riches of his saving love;

With fervor seek; and, as ye go,

Deep and more deep your joys shall grow.

4. Let all our tongues his name confess;
Our lives his holiness express;
Our hearts in love of him excel,
And ever, ever with him dwell.

Christ's Passion.

1. The morning dawns upon the place
Where Jesus spent the night in prayer:
Through yielding glooms behold his face,
Nor form nor comeliness is there.

2. Last eve by those he called his own,
Betrayed, forsaken, or denied,

He met his enemies alone,

In all their malice, rage, and pride. 3. No guile within his mouth is found,

He neither threatens nor complains;
Meek as a lamb for slaughter bound,

Dumb midst his murderers he remains.
4. But hark! he prays 't is for his foes;
He speaks 't is comfort to his friends;
Answers, and Paradise bestows;

He bows his head; the conflict ends.

5. Truly this was the Son of God,

-Though in a servant's mean disguise, And bruised beneath the Father's rod; Not for himself, for man he dies.
