Our sins shall sink beneath the sea,

And shall be found no more.
6 And lest pollution should o’erspread

Our inward powers again,
His Spirit shall bedew our souls,

Like purifying rain.]
dr Our heart, that flinty, stubborn thing,

That terrours cannot move,-
That fears no threat’nings of his wrath-

Shall be dissolv'd by love.
-8 Or he can take the flint away,

That would not be refin'd;
And, from the treasures of his grace,

Bestow a softer mind.
9 There shall his sacred Spirit dwell,

And deep engrave his law;
And ev'ry motion of our souls

To swift obedience draw.
o 10 Thus will he pour salvation down,

And we shall render praise; d We-the dear people of his love,

And hemour God of grace.

The Blessedness of Gospel Times. Isa. v, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10;

Matt. xiii, 16, 17.
1 TTOW beauteous are their feet,

LL Who stand on Zion's hill!
Who bring salvation on their tongues,

And words of peace reveal ! b 2 How charming is their voice!

How sweet the tidings are ! o'Zion behold thy Saviour-King,

“He reigns and triumphs here!' 03 How happy are our ears,

That hear this joyful sound !Which kings and prophets waited for,

And sought, but never found ! 04 How blessed are our eyes,

That see this heavenly light! e Prophets and kings desir'd it long,

But dy'd without the sight!

05 The watchmen join their voice,

And tuneful notes employ ; o Jerusalem breaks forth in songs,

And deserts learn the joy.
g 6 The Lord makes bare his arm,

Through all the earth abroad;
Let ev'ry nation now behold

Their Saviour and their God.

The Sovereignty of Grace. Luke x, 21, 22. 1 THERE was an hour when Christ rejoic'd,

1 And spoke his joy in words of praise : Father, I thank thee, mighty God, Lord of the earth, and heavens, and seas. 2 'I thank thy sovereign power and love, "That crowns my doctrine with success;

And makes the babes in knowledge learn "The heights, and breadths, and lengths of grace. 3.But all this glory lies conceald 'From men of prudence and of might; "The prince of darkness blinds their eyes,

And their own pride resists the light. 4 'Father, 'tis thus, because thy will

Chose and ordain'd it should be so; 6'Tis thy delight tabase the proud,

And lay the haughty scorner low. 5 "There's none can know the Father right, But those who learn it from the Son ; Nor can the Son be well receiv'd, “But where the Father makes him known.' 6 Then let our souls adore our God, Who deals his graces as he please ; Nor gives to mortals an account, Or of his actions, or decrees.

Free Grace in revealing Christ. Luke 2, 21.
1 [TESUS, the man of constant grief,

J A mourner all his days,-
His spirit once rejoic'd aloud,

And turn’d his joy to praise.

d 2 'Father, I thank thy wondrous love,

"That hath reveal'd thy Son "To men unlearned ; and to babes

'Has made thy gospel known.
3 The mystries of redeeming grace

Are hidden from the wise ;
While pride and carnal reas'nings join

“To swell and blind their eyes.' -4 Thus does the Lord of heaven and earth

His great decrees fulfil;
And orders all his works of grace,

By his own sovereign will.]

The Son of God incarnate. Isa. ix, 2, 6, 7. 1 [THE lands, that long in darkness lay,

I Now have beheld a heavenly light; Nations that sat in death's cold shade, Are bless'd with beams divinely bright. 2 The virgin's promis'd Son is born; Behold the expected child appear! What shall his names, or titles, be?

THE WONDERFUL, THE COUNSELLOR. d 3 (This infant is the mighty God,

Come to be suckled and adored :
Th’ eternal Father, Prince of peace,

The Son of David, and his Lord.)
-4 The government of earth and seas

Upon his shoulders shall be laid : g His wide dominions shall increase,

And honours to his name be paid. 0 5 Jesus, the holy Child, shall sit,

High on his father David's throne ;-
Shall crush his foes beneath his feet,
And reign to ages yet unknown.]

Christ's unchangeable Love. Rom. vii, 33, &c. 1 W HO shall the Lord's elect condemn?

W 'Tis God who justifies their souls; And mercy, like a mighty stream, O’er all their sins divinely rolls.

2 Who shall adjudge the saints to hell ?
'Tis Christ who suffer'd in their stead;
And, the salvation to fulfil,
Behold him rising from the dead !
3 He lives! he lives! and sits above,
For ever interceding there :
Who shall divide us from his love,
Or what should tempt us to despair?
4 Shall persecution, or distress,
Famine, or sword, or nakedness?
He, who hath lov'd us, bears us through,
And makes us more than conqu’rors too.
5 Faith has an overcoming power;
It triumphs in a dying hour :
Christ is our life, our joy, our hope;
Nor can we sink with such a prop.
6 Not all that men on earth can do,
Nor powers on high, nor powers below,
Shall cause his mercy to remove,
Or wean our hearts from Christ, our love.

Christ our Strength. 2 Cor. xii, 7, 9, 10. 1 IT ET me but hear my Saviour say;

I 'Strength shall be equal to the day: Then I rejoice in deep distress; Leaning on all-sufficient grace. 2 I glory in infirmity, That Christ's own power may rest on me; When I am weak, then am I strong, Grace is my shield, and Christ my song. 3 I can do all things, or can bear All suff'rings, if my Lord be there; Sweet pleasures mingle with the pains, While his left hand my head sustains. 4 But if the Lord be once withdrawn, And we attempt the work alone; When new temptations spring and rise, We find how great our weakness is. 5 So Sampson, when his hair was lost, Met the Philistines to his cost:

Shook his vain limbs with sad surprise,
Made feeble fight, and lost his eyes.]

Mysterious and divine. —2. The Root of David, here we find,

And Offspring, is the same; e Eternity and time are join'd

In our Emmanuel's name. o 3 Bless'd He, who comes to wretched men,

To Christ the Lord be given ! - 4 Let mortals ne'er refuse to take

Th’Hosanna on their tongues ; o Lest rocks and stones should rise, and break Their silence into songs.

Victory over Death. 1 Cor. xv, 55, &c.
1[0 FOR an overcoming faith,

U To cheer my dying hours;
To triumph o'er the monster death,

And all his frightful powers!
0 2 Joyful, with all the strength I have,

My quiv’ring lips should sing,-
Where is thy boasted victry, grave ?

“And where the monster's sting ?" -3 If sin be pardon’d, I'm secure;

Death has no sting beside :
The law gives sin its damning power;

But Christ my ransom dy'd. 04 Now to the God of victory

Immortal thanks be paid ;-
Who makes us conqu’rors, while we die,

Through Christ our living head.]
