2 His comforts bear my spirits up,
I trust a faithful God;
The sure foundation of my hope
Lies in a Saviour's blood.

3 Loud hallelujahs sing, my soul,
To thy Redeemer's name;
In joy, in sorrow, life and death,
His love is still the same.

HYMN 231. (C. M.)

The love of Christ, which passeth knowledge.

BE

EHOLD! what love the Father hath
On guilty man bestowed;

That we,

lost sinners, sons of wrath, Should be the sons of God.

2 O how beyond expression great, The love of Christ doth shine; "Tis like himself-th' eternal God, Past knowledge! all divine.

3 Behold! for guilty, ruin'd man
The Lord of Glory dies;

Lays down his life them to redeem,
A precious sacrifice!

4 Peace and goodwill to guilty men,
In plenteous streams now flow;
And joy and hope of endless life,
God doth, through Christ, bestow.
5 O! let us, then, renew the theme
Which still prevails above;
And ever sing, with joyful hearts,
The wonders of his love.

Glad the summons to obey;
