159 And be by sweet experience taught Praise to Jesus. 1 THE countless multitude on high, Who tune their songs to Jesus' name, All merit of their own deny, ; And Jesus' worth alone proclaim. 2 Firm on the ground of sovereign grace, They stand before Jehovah's throne The only song in that blest place Is 'Thou art worthy, Thou alone!' 3 With spotless robes of purest white, And branches of triumphal palm, They shout, with transports of delight, Heaven's ceaseless, universal psalm :4 Salvation's glory all be paid To Him who sits upon the throne, L.M. And to the Lamb, whose blood was shed; Thou, Thou art worthy, Thou alone!' 160 'Behold the Lamb!' 8.7 double. 1 LAMB of God, Thou now art seated High upon Thy Father's throne ; All Thy gracious work completed, All Thy mighty victory won. Every knee in heaven is bending To the Lamb for sinners slain; Every voice and harp is swelling, Worthy is the Lamb to reign!' 2 Lamb of God, Thou soon in glory All Thy foes shall quake before Thee, 161 The Lamb of God. 1 'BEHOLD the Lamb of God' He spread the heavens abroad, 148th. How sinless, meek, and pure! On that tremendous day Ascended from the grave! 162 He sheds His love abroad, And shows His power to save: Bright crowns on His majestic brow,— Behold the mighty Victor now! His Precious Blood. 1 THERE is a fountain filled with blood, And sinners plunged beneath that flood 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Till all the ransomed Church of God 163 The Redeemer Praised. 1 BLESSINGS for ever on the Lamb, Who bore the curse for wretched men ! 164 SALVATION BY GRACE. Salvation by Grace. 1 How sovereign is the love of God To Israel's favoured race! C. M. L.M. C. M. Paid is the mighty debt they owed, 2 His love, without beginning, knew 165 And sent His equal Son to show The Same. 1 DEATH is the wages due by sin Nor can good works a respite win ;— 2 In vain we strive to cleanse the soul, God's love is not in man's control;- 3 All who are taught of God shall learn And in His leadings they discern 4 'Tis through Immanuel's precious blood And prove, in drawing near to God, 5 Those who are led to seek in youth And sweetly learn the precious truth- 6 And all who realize His love Shall reach that heavenly place, C. M. 166 To sing eternally above- The New Creation. 1 NOT all the outward forms on earth, Or rites which God has given, Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth, Can raise a soul to heaven. Born in the image of His Son, 3 The Spirit, like some heavenly wind, Writes His own laws upon the mind, 4 Thus quickened, they awake and rise On heavenly things they fix their eyes, 167 The Work of the Spirit. 1 THE blessed Spirit, like the wind, 2 He moulds the sinner's mind afresh, Transforms the heart of stone to flesh, C.M.
