4 Thus might I hide my blushing face,
While his dear cross appears:
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt my eyes to tears.

5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
'Tis all that I can do.

"It is finished." JOHN xix. 30.

8, 7, 4.

HARK! the voice of love and mercy
Sounds aloud from Calvary;

See, it rends the rocks asunder,
Shakes the earth, and veils the sky!
"It is finished!"

Hear the dying Saviour cry.

2 "It is finished !"-O what pleasure Do these precious words afford ! Heavenly blessings without measure Flow to us from Christ the Lord; "It is finished!"

Saints, the dying words record.

3 Finished-all the types and shadows Of the ceremonial law;

Finished-all that God had promised; Death and hell no more shall awe: "It is finished!"

Saints, from hence your comforts draw.

4 Tune your harps anew, ye seraphs, Join to sing the pleasing theme;

All on earth and all in heaven,
Join to praise Immanuel's name;
Hallelujah!

"The Lord our righteousness." JER. Xxiii. 6.

L. M.

JESUS, thy blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress;
'Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
2 This spotless robe the same appears
When ruined nature sinks in years;
No age can change its glorious hue,
The robe of Christ is ever new.

3 When from the dust of death I rise,
To claim my mansion in the skies,
Even then, this shall be all my plea,
Jesus hath lived, hath died for me.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." JOHN XV. 13.

то

10 our Redeemer's glorious Name
Awake the sacred song:

O may his love (immortal flame)

Tune every heart and tongue.

2 His love, what mortal thought can reach, What mortal tongue display!

Imagination's utmost stretch

In wonder dies away.

3 He left his radiant throne on high,
Left the bright realms of bliss,
And came to earth to bleed and die!
Was ever love like this?

4 Dear Lord, while we adoring pay
Our humble thanks to thee,
May every heart with rapture say,
"The Saviour died for me."

5 O may the sweet, the blissful theme,
Fill every heart and tongue;
Till strangers love thy charming Name,
And join the sacred song.

"I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation." Ps. xiii. 5.

SAVIOUR, source of every blessing,
Tune my heart to grateful lays;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for ceaseless songs of praise.
2 Teach me some melodious measure,
Sung by raptured saints above;
Fill my soul with sacred pleasure,
While I sing redeeming love.

3 Thou didst seek me, when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
Thou, to save my soul from danger,
Didst redeem me with thy blood.
4 By thy hand restored, defended,
Safe through life thus far I've come;
Safe, O Lord, when life is ended,
Bring me to my heavenly home.

"I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me." JOHN xiv. 6.

THOU

HOU art the Way, to thee alone
From sin and death. we flee;

And he who would the Father seek,
Must seek him, Lord, by thee.

2 Thou art the Truth, thy word alone
True wisdom can impart;

Thou only canst inform the mind
And purify the heart.

3 Thou art the Life, the rending tomb
Proclaims thy conquering arm,
And those who put their trust in thee
Nor death nor hell shall harm.

4 Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life:
Grant us that way to know,

That truth to keep, that life to win,
Whose joys eternal flow.

"Thanks be to God. which giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 COR, xv. 57.

ESUS lives, and so shall I;

JES

Death! thy sting is gone forever!

He, who deigned for me to die,

Lives, the bands of death to sever.
He shall raise me with the just;
Jesus is my hope and trust.

2 Jesus lives, and by his grace
Victory o'er my passions giving;

I will cleanse my heart and ways,
Ever to his glory living.

The weak he raises from the dust;
Jesus is my hope and trust.

3 Jesus lives, and death is now
But my entrance into glory.
Courage! then, my soul, for thou
Hast a crown of life before thee!
Thou shalt find thy hopes were just;
Jesus is the Christian's trust.

HARK, ten thousand harps and voices
Sound the note of praise above;

Jesus reigns, and heaven rejoices:
Jesus reigns the God of love.
See, he sits on yonder throne!
Jesus rules the world alone;

Hallelujah, Amen!

2 Jesus, hail! whose glory brightens All above and gives it worth; Lord of love, thy smile enlightens,

Cheers and charms thy saints on earth; When we think of love like thine,

Lord, we own it love divine.

3 King of glory, reign forever,

Thine an everlasting crown; Nothing from thy love shall sever

Those whom thou hast made thine own; Happy objects of thy grace,

Chosen to behold thy face.
