Divinely blest, to whom the Lord Im-putes their guilt no more. Sel. 271. [Ps. 32, P. 1. | 4. Jesus the Lord will hear (Stanza 1 in Music.) 2. They mourn their follies past, And keep their hearts with care; Their lips and lives without deceit Shall prove their faith sincere. 3. While I conceal'd my guilt, I felt the festering wound, Till I confess'd my sins to thee, And ready pardon found. 4. Let sinners learn to pray, Let saints keep near the throne; Our help in times of deep distress, Is found in God alone. Wake, ev'ry heart, and ev'ry tongue, To praise the Sa-viour's name. Sel. 277. (Stanza 1 in Music.) 2. Sing of his dying love, [H. 373. 4. This is the glorious day Sing of his rising power; 3. Șing on your heavenly way, Ye ransom'd sinners, sing; 4. Soon shall we hear Him say, "Ye blessed children, come!" Soon will He call us hence away, And take his wanderers home. NOT all the blood of beasts [H. 89. On Jewish altars slain, 2. But Christ, the heavenly Lamb, A sacrifice of nobler name And richer blood than they. 3. My faith would lay her hand On that dear head of thine, While like a penitent I stand, And there confess my sin. 4. My soul looks back to see The burdens thou didst bear, When hanging on the cursed tree, And hopes her guilt was there. 5. Believing, we rejoice To see the curse remove; We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice, And sing his bleeding love. And aid my tongue to bless his name, Whose favors are divine. Sel. 280. [Ps. 103, P. 3. | 3. He will present our souls, (Stanza 1 in Music, 6 omitted.) 2. O bless the Lord, my soul, Nor let his mercies lie Forgotten in unthankfulness, And without praises die. 3. 'Tis He forgives thy sins, 'Tis He relieves thy pain, 4. He crowns thy life with love, When ransom'd from the grave; He that redeem'd my soul from hell Hath sovereign power to save. 5. He fills the poor with good; He gives the sufferers rest; The Lord hath judgments for the proud, Unblemish'd and complete, 4. Then all the chosen seed Shall meet around the throne; Shall bless the conduct of his grace, And make his wonders known. 5. To our Redeemer God, Wisdom and power belongs, PREPARE me, gracious God, To stand before thy face; Thy Spirit must the work perform, For it is all of grace. 2. In Christ's obedience clothe, And wash me in his blood: 3. Do thou my sins subdue, Thy sovereign love make known; 4. Let me attest thy power, Let me thy goodness prove, [H. 324.2. The Son of God in tears WHERE shall rest be found, Rest for the weary soul? 'Twere vain the ocean depths to sound, Or pierce to either pole: The world can never give The bliss for which we sigh; 'Tis not the whole of life to live, Nor all of death to die. 2. Beyond this vale of tears There is a life above, Outlasts the fleeting breath; Around "the second death!" 3. Lord God of truth and grace, Teach us that death to shun, Angels with wonder see; Be thou astonish'd, O my soul, He shed those tears for thee. 3. He wept that we might weep; Each sin demands a tear: In heaven alone no sin is found, And there's no weeping there. Sel. 285. H how shall fallen man A Be just before his God? [H. 49. If He contend in righteousness, 2. If He our ways should mark 3. All-seeing, powerful God, Who can with thee contend? 4. The mountains, in thy wrath, 5. Ah! how shall guilty man, Contend with such a God? None, none can meet Him and escape, *As arranged in Church Melodies. |
