HYMN 146. (C. M.)

Redeeming Mercy.

ESUS, the Saviour of my soul,
Be thou my best delight!

Ever to me the same remain,
My joy, by day and night.

2 Hung'ring and thirsting after Thee,
I would be found each hour;
Contrite in heart, and lowly, kept
By Thine Almighty Power.

3 0 let me never once forget
How poor, how vile I am!
A sinner ransom'd by the blood
Of Christ th' atoning Lamb.

4 The wonders of redeeming love
Be ever dear to me;

And let the flesh and blood of Christ,
My daily manna be.

WHE

HYMN 147. (L. M.)

Good Hope thro' Grace.

WHEN God is nigh, my faith is strong,
His arm is my Almighty prop;

Be glad, my heart, rejoice, my tongue,
My dying flesh shall rest in hope.

Α

2 Tho' in the dust I lay my head, Yet gracious God! Thou wilt not leave My life for ever with the dead,

Nor lose thy children in the grave.

3 My flesh shall thy first call obey, Shake off the dust, and rise on high; Then shalt Thou lead the wondrous way Up to Thy throne above the sky. 4 There streams of endless pleasures flow, And full discoveries of Thy grace; (Which we but tasted here below,) Spread heavenly joys thro' all the place.

HYMN 148. (s. M.)

Praise for Redemption.

1 RAISE your triumphant songs,

To an immortal tune;

Let the wide earth resound the deed,
Celestial grace has done.

2 Sing how eternal love

Its chief beloved chose,

And bid him raise our wretched race,

From their abyss of woes.

3 His hand no thunder bears,

Nor terror clothes His brow;
Nor bolts to drive our guilty souls,

To fiercer flames below.

4 'Twas mercy filled the throne, And wrath stood silent by;

When Christ was sent with pardons down To rebels doomed to die.

5 Now Sinners dry your tears,
Let hopeless sorrows cease;
Bow to the sceptre of His love,
And take the offered peace.

6 Lord! we obey the call;

1

We lay an humble claim,
To the salvation Thou hast bought;
And love and praise Thy name.

BLEST

HYMN 149. (C. M.)

Privileges of Believers.

LEST are the souls that hear and know,
The gospel's joyful sound;

Peace shall attend the path they go,
And light their steps surround.

2 Their joy shall bear their spirits up,
Thro' their Redeemer's name;
His righteousness exalts their hope,
Nor Satan dares condemn.

3 The Lord, our glory and defence,
Strength and salvation gives;
Israel, Thy King for ever reigns,
Thy God for ever lives.

FAR

HYMN 150. (C. M.)

The Blessedness of Heaven.

AR from these narrow scenes of night,
Unbounded glories rise,

And realms of infinite delight

Unknown to mortal eyes.

2 There pain and sickness never come, And grief no more complains; Health triumphs in immortal bloom, And endless pleasure reigns.

3 No cloud those blissful regions know, For ever bright and fair!

For sin, the source of mortal woe,
Can never enter there.

4 There no alternate night is known,
Nor sun's faint sickly ray;
But glory, from the sacred throne,
Spreads everlasting day.

5 Prepare, us Lord! by grace divine,
For these bright courts on high;
Then bid our spirits rise and join
The chorus of the sky.

HYMN 151. (C. M.)

Jesus, the Sun of Righteousness.

SUN of Righteousness, arise
With healing in thy wing;
To my diseas'd and fainting soul,
Thy free salvation bring.

2 All clouds of pride and sin dispel,
By Thine all-piercing beam;
Lighten mine eyes, my conscience heal,
My heart with hope inflame.

3 My mind, by Thy all-quick'ning pow'r, From vile desires set free;

Unite my scattered thoughts and fix
My love entire on Thee.

4 Father! Thy long-lost child receive;
Saviour! Thy purchase own;
Blest. Comforter! with peace and joy,
Thy waiting creature crown.

HYMN 152. (L. M.)

The Soul athirst for God.

GREAT God, indulge my humble claim,
Be Thou my joy, my hope, my rest;
The glories that compose Thy name,
Stand all engag'd to make me blest.

2 Thou great and good, thou just and wise,
Be thou my father and my God!

And make me thine by sacred ties,
Thy child, thy servant, bought with blood.

3 With heart and eyes, and lifted hands,
For Thee I long, for Thee I look ;
As trav❜llers in a thirsty land,
Pant for the cooling water-brook.
4 O may thy love inspire my tongue!
Salvation then shall be my song;
And all my pow'rs shall join to bless
The Lord, my strength, and righteousness.

WITH

HYMN 153. (L. M.)

Praise for Preserving Mercy.

ITH all my powers of heart and tongue,
I'll praise my Maker in my song;

Angels shall hear the notes I raise,
Approve the song, and join the praise.
