442 MY The blood of sprinkling. C. M. Y God, my God, to thee I cry; Thy purifying blood apply, And wash me white as snow. 2 Touch me, and make the leper clean; Purge my iniquity: Unless thou wash my soul from sin, 3 But art thou not already mine? Whisper within, thou love divine, 4 Behold, for me the Victim bleeds,- For me the blood of sprinkling pleads, 443 A Self-righteousness destroyed. By self and Satan taught to paint The Pharisee within Still undisturb'd remain'd ; S. M. The strong man, arm'd with guilt of sin, Safe in his palace reign'd. 2 But, 0, the jealous God In my behalf came down; Jesus himself the stronger show'd, And claim'd me for his own. My spirit he alarm'd, And brought into distress ; He shook and bound the strong man, arm'd In his self-righteousness. 3 Faded my virtuous show,— I fell on the atoning Lamb, 444 L. M. Graven on the palms of His hands. ESUS, the Lamb of God, hath bled; JESUS, the Lambs ofpon the tree; Beneath our curse he bow'd his head;'Tis finish'd! he hath died for me. 2 See, where before the throne he stands, And pours the all-prevailing prayer; Points to his side, and lifts his hands, And shows that I am graven there. 3 He ever lives for me to pray; He prays that I with him may reign: Amen to what my Lord doth say; Jesus, thou canst not pray in vain. 445 1st P. M. 6 lines 8s. No condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. ND can it be that I should gain An int'rest in the Saviour's blood? That thou, my Lord, shouldst die for me? To sound the depths of love divine; 3 He left his Father's throne above; I woke; the dungeon flamed with light: My chains fell off, my heart was free,I rose, went forth, and follow'd thee. 5 No condemnation now I dread,Jesus, with all in him, is mine; Alive in him, my living Head, And clothed in righteousness divine, Bold I approach the' eternal throne, And claim the crown, through Christ my own. 446 Embracing the Saviour by faith. L. M. NTO thy gracious hands I fall, O raise me, heal me by thy grace. Now righteous through thy grace I am; No condemnation now I dread; I taste salvation in thy name, Alive in thee, my living Head. That I from thee may never stray: 447 The blood applied. C. M. N answer to ten thousand prayers, Those d'ning God, descend Number me with salvation's heirs,- 2 Nothing I ask or want beside, But let me feel thy blood applied, 448 The highway of holiness. L. M. JESUS, my all, to heaven is gone,— He, whom I fix my hopes upon; 3 This is the way I long have sought, . 4 The more I strove against its power, 5 Lo! glad I come; and thou, blest Lamb, 6 Then will I tell to sinners round, 449 The riches of His grace. L. M. HAT am I, O thou glorious God! WHAT And what my father's house to thee, That thou such mercy hast bestow'd On me, the vilest reptile, me? 2 Me, in my blood, thy love pass'd by, 4 Honour, and might, and thanks, and praise, And spread thy saving name abroad. 5 I magnify thy gracious power, And all within me shouts thy Name: Thy Name let every soul adore; Thy power let every tongue proclaim. 1st P. M. 6 lines 8s. 450 The covenant signed and sealed. THIS day the covenant I sign, The bond of sure and promised peace; Since seal'd with Jesus' blood it is; 2 But, that my faith no more may know Help me in all thy paths to go, And now, as e'er, thy voice attend; And deign, O Lord, to call me thine, And I will dare to call thee mine. |
