ADDITIONAL HYMNS.

REDEMPTION.

Hymn 213.

BLOW ye the trumpet, blow;
The gladly-solemn sound!
Let all the nations know,

To earth's remotest bound,
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

2 Jesus, our great High Priest,
Hath full atonement made:
Ye weary spirits, rest;

Ye mournful souls, be glad;
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

3 Extol the Lamb of God,
The sin-atoning Lamb;
Redemption by his blood

Throughout the world proclaim: The year of jubilee is come; Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

II. 4.

4 Ye slaves of sin and hell,
Your liberty receive,
And safe in Jesus dwell,

And blest in Jesus live:
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

5 Ye who have sold for naught
Your heritage above,
Receive it back unbought,
The gift of Jesus' love:
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

6 The gospel trumpet hear,

The news of heavenly grace;
And, saved from earth, appear
Before your Saviour's face:
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

[blocks in formation]

THERE is a fountain filled with blood

Drawn from Emmanuel's veins; And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains.

2 The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, as vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.

3 Dear, dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power,

Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved, to sin no more.

4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.

5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing Thy power to save;
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave.

THE CHURCH.

Hymn 215.

III. 3.

GLORIOUS things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God:

He, whose word cannot be broken,
Formed thee for his own abode;
On the rock of ages founded,

What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,

Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love,

Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove;
