Lo! He comes, with clouds descending, Once for favour'd sinners slain; Į Thousand thousand saints, attending, Swell the triumph of his train: Hal- le

Christ, to all believers precious,
Lord of lords, shall soon appear:
Mark the tokens

Of his heavenly kingdom near.

2 Sun and moon are both confounded,
Darken'd into endless night,
When, with angel-hosts surrounded,
In his Father's glory bright,
Beams the Saviour,

Shines the everlasting light.

3 See the stars from heaven falling;.
Hark, on earth the doleful cry;
Men on rocks and mountains calling,
While the frowning Judge draws nigh:
Hide us, hide us,

Rocks and mountains, from his eye!

4 With what diff'rent exclamation
Shall the saints his banner see!
By the tokens of his passion,
By the marks received for me:—
All discern him:

All with shouts cry out,-'Tis He!
5 Lo! 'tis He! our hearts' Desire,
Come for his espoused below;
Come to join us with his choir,
Come to make our joys o'erflow:
Palms of vict'ry,
Crowns of glory, to bestow.

COME, ye sinners, poor and needy,

Weak and wounded, sick and sore; Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of pity, love, and power: He is able,

He is willing: doubt no more.

2 Now, ye needy, come and welcome;
God's free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,—
Every grace that brings you nigh,-
Without money,

Come to Jesus Christ and buy.

3 Let not conscience make you linger;
Nor of fitness fondly dream:
All the fitness he requireth

Is to feel your need of him:
This he gives you,

'Tis the Spirit's glimm'ring beam.
4 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden,
Bruised and mangled by the fall;
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all;

Not the righteous,— Sinners Jesus came to call. 5 Agonizing in the garden,

Your Redeemer prostrate lies;
On the bloody tree behold him!
Hear him cry, before he dies,
It is finish'd!--
Sinners, will not this suffice?

6 Lo! the' incarnate God, ascending,
Pleads the merit of his blood:
Venture on him,--venture freely;
Let no other trust intrude:

None but Jesus

Can do helpless sinners good.

7 Saints and angels, join'd in concert, Sing the praises of the Lamb; While the blissful seats of heaven Sweetly echo with his name: Hallelujah!

Sinners here may do the same.

THOU God of my salvation, My Redeemer from all sin; Moved by thy divine compassion, Who hast died my heart to win, I will praise thee:

182-b.

Where shall I thy praise begin? 2 Though unseen, I love the Saviour; He hath brought salvation near; Manifests his pard'ning favor; And when Jesus doth appear, Soul and body

Shall his glorious image bear.

3 While the angel choirs are crying,Glory to the great I AM,

I with them will still be vying-
Glory! glory to the Lamb!
O how precious

Is the sound of Jesus' name!
4 Angels now are hov'ring round us,
Unperceived amid the throng;
Wond'ring at the love that crown'd us,
Glad to join the holy song:

Hallelujah,

THAT my load of sin were gone;

O that I could at last submit
At Jesus' feet to lay it down-
To lay my soul at Jesus' feet.
2 Rest for my soul I long to find:
Saviour of all, if mine thou art,
Give me thy meek and lowly mind,
And stamp thine image on my heart.
3 Break off the yoke of inbred sin,
And fully set my spirit free;
I cannot rest till pure within,-
Till I am wholly lost in thee.

4 Fain would I learn of thee, my God;
Thy light and easy burden prove;
The cross all stain'd with hallow'd blood,
The labour of thy dying love.

5 I would, but thou must give the power;
My heart from every sin release;
Bring near, bring near the joyful hour,
And fill me with thy perfect peace.

To thee, her Source, my Spirit flies;
My wants I mourn, my chains I see;
O let thy presence set me free.

2 Jesus, vouchsafe my heart and will
With thy meek lowliness to fill;
No more her power let nature boast,
But in thy will may mine be lost.
3 Already springing hope I feel,-
God will destroy the power of hell,
And, from a land of wars and pain,
Lead me where peace and safety reign.
4 One only care my soul shall know,—
Father, all thy commands to do;
And feel, what endless years shall prove,
That thou, my Lord, my God, art love.

JESUS, a word, a look from thee,

Can turn my heart, and make it clean; Purge out the inbred leprosy,

And save me from my bosom sin.

2 Lord, if thou wilt, I do believe
Thou canst the saving grace impart;
Thou canst this instant now forgive,
And stamp thine image on my heart.

3 My heart, which now to thee I raise,
I know thou canst this moment cleanse;
The deepest stains of sin efface,

And drive the evil spirit hence.

4 Be it according to thy word; ·
Accomplish now thy work in me;
And let my soul, to health restored,
Devote its deathless powers to thee

Thy creatures bend th'o-be - dient knee, And, humbly, now thy pres - ence claim.

PRAISE waits in Zion, Lord, for thee;
Thy saints adore thy holy Name;
Thy creatures bend the' obedient knee,
And, humbly, now thy presence claim.
2 Eternal Source of truth and light,
To thee we look, on thee we call;
Lord, we are nothing in thy sight,
But thou to us art all in all.

3 Still may thy children in thy word Their commion trust and refuge see; O, bind us to each other, Lord,

By one great bond,-the love of thee. 4 So shall our sun of hope arise,

With brighter still and brighter ray, Till thou shalt bless our longing eyes With beams of everlasting day.

O! round the throne, a glorious hand,
The units in countless myriads stand;

Of every tongue redeem'd to God,
Array'd in garments wash'd in blood.

2 Through tribulation great they came;
They bore the cross, despised the shame;
But now from all their labours rest,
In God's eternal glory blest.

3 They see the Saviour face to face;
They sing the triumph of his grace;
And day and night, with ceaseless praise,
To him their loud hosannas raise.
4 O, may we tread the sacred road
That holy saints and martyrs trod;
Wage to the end the glorious strife,
And win, like them, a crown of life.

THERE is a God-all nature speaks,
Through earth, and air, and seas, and skies;
See-from the clouds his glory breaks,
When earliest beams of morning rise.
2 The rising sun, serenely bright,
Throughout the world's extended frame,
Inscribes, in characters of light,

His mighty Maker's glorious name.

3 Ye curious minds, who roam abroad, And trace creation's wonders o'er, Confess the footsteps of your God;

Bow down before him and adore.

688 The Saviour seen in the Scriptures. 69-u

NOW let my soul, eternal King,

To thee its grateful tribute bring;
My knee, with humble homage, bow;
My tongue perform its solemn vow.
2 All nature sings thy boundless love,
In worlds below, and worlds above;
But in thy blessed word I trace
Diviner wonders of thy grace.

3 There, what delightful truths I read!
There, I behold the Saviour bleed:
His name salutes my list'ning ear,
Revives my heart, and checks my fear.
4 There Jesus bids my sorrows cease,
And gives my lab'ring conscience peace;
Raises my grateful thoughts on high,
And points to mansions in the sky.
5 For love like this, O let my song,
Through endless years, thy praise prolong
Let distant climes thy Name adore,
Till time and nature are no more.

1. O Love divine, what hast thou done! Th' incarnate God hath died for me!

2 Behold him, all ye that pass by,-
The bleeding Prince of life and peace!
Come see, ye worms, your Saviour die,

And say, was ever grief like his?
Come, feel with me his blood applied:
My Lord, my Love, is crucified.
3 Is crucified for me and you,

To bring rebels back to God:
Believe, believe the record true,-

Ye all are bought with Jesus' blood:
Pardon for all flows from his side:
My Lord, my Love, is crucified.

4 Then let us sit beneath his cross, And gladly catch the healing stream; All things for him account but loss,

And give up all our hearts to him: Of nothing think or speak beside,My Lord, my Love, is crucified.

[blocks in formation]

The blood of sprinkling speaks, and prays,
All-prevalent for helpless man;
Thy blood is still our ransom found,
And speaks salvation all around,

3 We need not now go up to heaven
To bring the long-sought Saviour down;
Thou art to all already given,

Thou dost e'en now thy banquet crown;-To every faithful soul appear. And show thy real presence here.

302 The Lamb of God who taketh away the sins of the world.

SEE, sinners, in the gospel glass,

150-a.

The Friend and Saviour of mankind; Not one of all the apostate race

But may in him salvation find:
His thoughts, and words, and actions prove,-
His life and death,-that God is love.

2 Behold the Lamb of God, who bears
The sins of all the world away;
A servant's form he meekly wears,

He sojourns in a house of clay :
His glory is no longer seen,
But God with God is man with men.
3 See where the God incarnate stands,
And calls his wand'ring creatures home:
He all day long spreads out his hands;
Come, weary souls, to Jesus come!
Ye all may hide you in his breast,
Believe, and he will give you rest.
