196 Waterford-p.270.] 11th P.M. 76,76,77,76. ESUS drinks the bitter cup, Tears the graves and mountains up, By his expiring groan : Nature in convulsion lies; The great Jehovah dies ! I feel the mortal smart ! A sight that breaks my heart ! Sinners ye may love him too; For one who bled for you. 3 Weep o'er your desire and hope, With tears of humblest love! And reigns enthroned above! Power is all to Jesus given; The immortal King of heaven. And truth, which never fail ; Without a dimming veil ; All thy glorious love proclaim, Our blest triumphant Lamb. 197 Creation--p. 153.] 1st P.M. 6 lines 8s. WH HERE shall my wond'ring soul begin? How shall I all to heaven aspire ? A brand pluck'd from eternal fire : Father, which thou to me hast show'd ? I should be call'd a child of God! Or basely fear his gifts to own? Shall I, the hallow'd cross to shun, And call forth all his hosts to war ; Them and their god alike I dare ; Groaning beneath your load of sin ; His open side shall take you in : In pardons from his wounded side; For you the Prince of glory died : Believe, and all your sin 's forgiven : Only believe, and yours is heaven. 198 Quitop. 94.] L. M. Saviour and head of all mankind; In thee let every sinner find. The debt we to thy Father owed : And seald the pardon with thy blood. A universal blessing gave; A Saviour,-every soul to save. Command the blind thy rays to see : And set the plaintive prisoner free. Shut up in sin and unbelief, This dungeon of despairing grief. Who bears the general sin away ; The glories of eternal day. 199 Luther's—p. 147.] 1st P. M. 6 lines 8s. W WLD Jesus have the sinner die ? Why hangs he then on yonder tree? What means that strange expiring cry? (Sinners, he prays for you and me ;) “Forgive them, Father, O forgive, They know not that by me they live !" 2 Jesus descended from above, Our loss of Eden to retrieve; If all the world through thee may live, Thee by thy painful agony, Thy cross and passion on the tree, And bathe and wash them with my tears ; The story of thy love repeat In every drooping sinner's ears ; Thy love for every sinner free, May taste the grace that found out me; That all mankind with me may prove Thy sovereign, everlasting love. 200 Kilburn—p. 270.] 11th P.M.76,76,77,76. G Redeemer of mankind, We in thy passion find : Still the joyful theme pursue, Whose love is ever new. 2 Endless scenes of wonder rise, With that mysterious tree, Where we our Maker see : Publish we the death divine, Was never love like thine! Like that my Jesus show'd; And crush'd beneath our load! Now his heavenly birth declare ! My God that suffers there !" THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD. FATOW 201 Archdale—p. 6.] C. M. VATHER, how wide thy glories shine ! Known through the earth by thousand signs, By thousands through the skies : Those mighty orbs proclaim thy power : Their motions speak thy skill : And on the wings of every hour We read thy patience still.
