'Hallelujah! for the Lord Echo round the earth and main. 2 Hallelujah!-hark! the sound, Heard through earth, and through the skies Wakes above, beneath, around, All creation's harmonies: See Jehovah's banner furled, Sheathed his sword; he speaks,-'tis done! And the kingdoms of this world Are the kingdoms of his Son. 3 He shall reign from pole to pole He shall reign when, like a scroll, REDEMPTION, GRACE, AND PARDON. 327. C. M. *WATTE. Surpassing Glories of Redemption. 1 FATHER, how wide thy glory shines! Known through the earth by thousand signs, 2 Those mighty orbs proclaim thy power; 3 Part of thy name divinely stands 4 But when we view thy grand design Where wisdom, power, and goodness shine In their most glorious forms, 5 Our thoughts are lost in reverend awe; The holy angels never saw 60 may I bear some humble part Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, 328. C. M. WATTS. Grace abounding over Sin. 1 WHY does your face, ye humble souls, What doubts are these that waste your faith 2 What though your numerous sins exceed The stars that fill the skies, And, aiming at the eternal throne, 3 What though your mighty guilt beyond And hath its cursed foundations laid 4 See, here an endless ocean flows 5 It rises high, and drowns the hills, 6 Awake, our hearts, adore the grace And pardoning blood, that swells above 329. S. M. DODDRIDGE. Grace first and last in Salvation. 1 GRACE! 'tis a charming sound! Heaven with the echo shall resound, 2 Grace first contrived the way To save rebellious man; 3 Grace first inscribed my name 'Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb, Who all my sorrows took. 4 Grace led my roving feet To tread the heavenly road; 5 Grace taught my soul to pray, 6 Grace all the work shall crown, It lays in heaven the topmost stone, 330. C. M. ANONYMOUS. Pardon through Christ. Ps. 130. 1 GREAT God, wert thou extreme to mark The deeds we do amiss, Before thy presence who could stand, 2 Thy servants in the temple watched 3 On us the Sun of Righteousness Before whose brightness sin and death. |
