THE MESSIAH'S INCARNATION. 63. The Virgin's Son. Mait. 1. (L. M.) 1 LET devils flee, let men adore, Let tidings spread from shore to shore, Jehovah deigns on earth to dwell, Among the heirs of death and hell. 2 His matchless glories he conceals, And but his boundless love reveals, And comes to take our guilt away. 3 With melting hearts to him apply, Believe and you shall never die; WESTLAKE'S SELECTION 64. Luke 2. (sevens) 1 JOYFUL all ye seamen rise, Join the triumph of the skies, Hail the sun of righteousness. 2 Come desire of nations, come Fix in us thy bumble home, 3"Glory to the new-born King, WESLEYS 65. Luke 2. (C. M.) And glory leads the song, “Good will and peace” are heard throughout Th' harmonious heavenly throng. 2 With joy the chorus we'll repeat, Glory to God on high, Jesus was born to die. Redeemer,-Brother,– Friend, Though earth, and time, and life should fail, Thy praise shall never end. MEDLEY, 66. Luke 2. (L. M.) Was Bethl’em, while Augustus poll’d, l'rom Naz'reth came to be enroll'd. But crowds and wild uproar repel, And choose with harmless brutes to dwell. 3 On heaps of straw she sought repose, Who soon the holy infant bore, Enwrapt her babe in swaddling cloathes, And smil'd to find her sorrows o'er. 1 In yon low manger lies her child, How sweet He sleeps-she slumbers too ; Sweet solemn scene,--how calm-how mild, While wine inflames the inn's base crew. ; & Sleep on sweet babe-flow fast my tears, In silent torrents, downward flow, Thus clad in flesh my God appears, To save from hell-he laid thus low. 6 V ye that plow the trackless seas, Come view this scene, and weep, and love, Then sing “ To man eternal peace, And glory be to God above." Z. 67. Heb. 1. (P. M.) Shall thy praise unutter'd lie, Hallelujah, Amen. 2 Did archangels sing thy coming, Did the shepherds learn their lays, Shame would cover me ungrateful, Should my tongue refuse to praise. 3 From the highest throne in glory, To the cross of deepest woe, ROBINSON 68. Psa. 96. (C. M.) Sramen their songs employ, While fields, and floods, rocks, hills, and plains, Repeat the sounding joy. 2 He comes to save a ruin'd race, Their dreadful loss restore, · Let seamen shout his sov’reign grace, And all the ocean roar. Make the Redeemer known, And angels guard his throne. And hills and seas retire, WATTS. LIFE OF CHRIST. 69. His Baptism. " When he was baptised the heavens were opened." Matt. 3. (C. M.) On Jesus head descend, That bids us all attend, 2 His mission thus confirm’d from heav'n,' The great Messiah came, In God his Father's name. And his lov'd name profess, CARPENTER'S 70.

M.) 1 JESUS, the light of men, His doctrine life imparts, To warm and cheer our hearts. 2 Blessed by its beams, our souls Shall run the heavenly way, The path which Christ hath mark'd and trod, Will lead to endless day.
