46 8 ee THE CHRISTIAN LIFE. 8 84. 2 Though we underwent for Thee 3 Native cumberers of the ground, "In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness." THERE is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Emmanuel's veins; And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there have I, as vile as he, 3 Dear dying Lamb! Thy precious blood Till all the ransomed Church of God 4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream 5 Then, in a nobler, sweeter song, When this poor lisping, stammering tongue 6 Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared, For me a blood-bought free reward, 7 "Tis strung, and tuned for endless years, 85. To sound in God the Father's ears No other name but Thine. Tune-Mila, 201. "By His own blood He entered in once into the holy place." OT all the blood of beasts 1 NOT 2 On Jewish altars slain, Could give the guilty conscience peace, Or wash away the stain. But Christ, the heavenly Lamb, S.M, 'God be merciful unto us, and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us.” LORD, turn not Thy face away Lamenting sore their sinful life 2 Thy mercy-gates are open wide 3 We need not to confess our fault, What we have done, and what we are, 4 Wherefore, to beg and to entreat, With tears we come to Thee, As children that have done amiss Shall at their father's knee. 5 And need we then, O Lord, repeat The blessing which we crave, When Thou dost know, before we speak, The thing that we would have? 6 Mercy, O Lord, mercy we ask, For mercy, Lord, is all our prayer— Tune-Luther's Hymn, 357. 8,7,8,7,8,8,7 "Out of the depths have I cried unto Thee, O Lord." 1 FROM depths of woe I raise to Thee The voice of lamentation; Lord, turn a gracious ear to me, And hear my supplication: If Thou shouldst be extreme to mark Each secret sin and misdeed dark, Oh! who could stand before Thee? 2 To wash away the crimson stain, Grace, grace alone availeth; Our works, alas! are all in vain, In much the best life faileth: No man can glory in Thy sight, All must alike confess Thy might, And live alone by mercy.

A heart that always feels Thy blood, 2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek, 3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart, 4 A heart in every thought renewed, And full of love divine; Perfect, and right, and pure, and good- 5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart; Write Thy new name upon my heart— Thy new, best name of Love. 1 HA 66 ARK, my soul! it is the Lord; 'Tis thy Saviour, hear His word; Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee: 'Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou Me? 2 " I delivered thee when bound; 3" Can a woman's tender care 5" Thou shalt see My glory soon, When the work of grace is done; 6 Lord, it is my chief complaint |
