JESUS is all our hope;

His death is all our boast;
But for his sov'reign grace,

We were for ever lost :
Redeeming blood, and dying love,
Here be our theme, and when above.

2 All that remains for us,

Is but to love and sing,
And honor, and adore

Our Saviour, God, and King! [wound,
Each stripe, each bruise, each bleeding
Speaks love and peace to all around.

3 O brightest, sweetest name,
That men or angels know!
More of thy changeless grace
Freely on us bestow;

And fill us with that ardent love,
With which thy chosen glow above.

217.

JESUS! our righteousness, our all,

Thou art our hearts' delight;

Even to us the same remain,

Our joy by day and night.

2 Hung'ring and thirsting after thee,
Would we be found each hour;
Humble in heart, and happy, kept
By thine almighty pow'r.

3 May thy blest Spirit, in our hearts,
Most sweetly shed abroad
The love of our incarnate God,
Who bought us with his blood.

4 The myst'ry of redeeming love,
Let us more clearly see;

1

And let thy flesh and blood, O Christ!
Our daily manna be.

PRAIS

PRAISE TO CHRIST.

218.

RAISE the Lord, who died to save us!
Praise his name, for ever dear!

Praise his blessed name, who

gave us

Eyes to see, and ears to hear:

Praise the Saviour !

Object of our love and fear.

2 Grace it was, 'twas grace abounding,
Brought him down to save the lost:
Ye above, his throne surrounding,
Praise him, praise him, all his host!
Saints adore him!

Ye are they that owe him most.

3 Ye of all his hand created,

Aliens once, but reinstated,

Destin'd soon to fill a throne;
Sing with wonder !

Sing of what the Lord has done.

4 Praise His name, who died to save us ;
'Tis by him alone we live ;
And in him, the Father gave us

All that boundless love could give :
Life eternal

In our glorious Christ we have!

219.

1PLUNG'D in a gulf of dark despair,
We wretched sinners lay;
Without one cheerful beam of hope,
Or spark of glimm'ring day.

2 With pitying eyes, the Prince of
Beheld our helpless grief;

grace

He saw, and,-O, amazing love!-
He came to our relief!

3 Down from the shining seats above,
With joyful haste he fled;
Enter'd the grave, in mortal flesh,
And dwelt among the dead.

4 Oh! for this love, let rocks and hills
Their lasting silence break;
And all harmonious ransom'd tongues
Our Jesus' praises speak.

5 Angels, assist our mighty joys,
Strike all your harps of gold;

But when you raise your highest notes,
His love can ne'er be told.

our Redeemer's glorious name, Awake the sacred song:

O may his love,-immortal flame !

Tune ev'ry heart and tongue.

2 His love, what mortal thought can reach ?
What angel's tongue display?
All finite reason's utmost stretch,
In wonder dies away.

3 Let wonder still with love unite,
And gratitude and joy ;
Jesus be our supreme delight,

His praise our best employ.

4 O may the sweet, the blissful theme, Fill ev'ry heart and tongue;

Till strangers love thy charming name,
And join the sacred song.

LORY! glory everlasting!

Be to him who bore the CrossWho redeem'd our souls, by tasting Death, the death by us deserv'd: Spread His glory!

Who redeem'd his people thus. 2 This is love,-'tis love unbounded, Without measure, without end; Human thought is here confounded; 'Tis too vast to comprehend :

Praise our Jesus!

Magnify our changeless Friend!

3 While we hear the wond'rous story Of our Jesus' cross and shame, Sing we, everlasting glory

1

Be to God and to the Lamb :
Without ceasing,

Will we glorify his name!

TOW in a song of grateful praise,

Nov

To our dear Lord our voice we'll raise;
With all his saints we'll join to tell,-
Our Jesus has done all things well!

2 All worlds his glorious pow'r confess;
His wisdom all his works express;
But, O! his love what tongue can tell?—
Our Jesus has done all things well!

3 How sov'reign, wonderful, divine;
How passing bright its glories shine:
This love redeem'd our souls from hell:-
Our Jesus has done all things well!

4 We spurn'd his grace, we broke his laws; And yet he undertook our cause;

He sav'd us, tho' we did rebel :-
Our Jesus has done all things well!

5 And since, by faith, we've known this love,
What mercies has he made us prove?
Mercies that do all praise excel :—
Our Jesus has done all things well!
