3-No condemnation! precious word! Consider it, my soul;

Thy sins were all on Jesus laid,

His stripes have made thee whole.

4-Teach us, O God, to fix our eyes
On Christ, the spotless Lamb,
So shall we love Thy gracious will,
And glorify Thy name.

1-0 Lord, who now art seated
Above the heavens on high,
The gracious work completed,
For which thou cam'st to die,
To Thee our hearts are lifted,
While pilgrims wand'ring here,
For Thou alone art gifted

Our ev'ry weight to bear.

2-We know that Thou hast bought us,
And wash'd us in Thy blood :
We know Thy grace has brought us
As kings and priests to God:
We know that soon the morning,
Long look'd for, hasteth near,
When we, at Thy returning,

7.6.

3-0 Lord, Thy love's unbounded,
So full, so sweet, so free!
Our thoughts are all confounded,
Whene'er we think on Thee:

For us Thou cam'st from heaven,
For us to bleed and die,
That, purchased and forgiven,
We might ascend on high.

4-0 let this love constrain us
To give our hearts to Thee :
Let nothing henceforth pain us,
But that which paineth Thee ;
Our joy, our one endeavour,

11

Through suffering, conflict, shame,
To serve Thee, gracious Saviour,
And magnify Thy name.

Isaiah iii. 10.

1-What cheering words are these!

Their sweetness who can tell?

In time and to eternal days

""Tis with the righteous well."

2-In ev'ry state secure,

Kept as Jehovah's eye,

'Tis well with them while life endures,

And well when call'd to die.

S.M.

3-Well when they see His face,
Or sink beneath the flood ;-
Well in affliction's thorny maze,
Or on the mount with God.

4-'Tis well when joys arise,

'Tis well when sorrows flow,

"Tis well when darkness veils the skies,
And strong temptations grow.

5-'Tis well when Jesus calls,
And bids from earth arise,

To join the host of ransom'd souls,
Made to salvation wise.

Matt. xiv. 28, 29.

1—He bids us come ; His voice we know,

And boldly on the waters go,

To Him our Lord and God;
We walk on life's tempestuous sea,
For He who died to set us free,
Hath call'd us by His word.

2-Secure from troubled waves we tread,
Nor all the storms around us heed,
While to our Lord we look ;

O'er every fierce temptation bound,
The billows yield a solid ground,
The wave is firm as rock.

P.M.

3-But if from Him we turn our eye,
And see the raging floods run high,
And feel our fears within;

Our foes so strong, our flesh so frail,
Reason and unbelief prevail,

And sink us into sin.

4-Lord, we our unbelief confess,
Our little spark of faith increase,
That we may doubt no more;
But fix on Thee a steady eye,

And on Thine outstretched arm rely,
Till all the storm is o'er.

1-Faint not, Christian! though the road

Leading to thy blest abode,

Darksome be, and dangerous too

7's.

Christ, thy guide, will bring thee through.

2-Faint not, Christian! though in rage
Satan would thy soul engage;

Gird on faith's anointed shield,
Bear it to the battle field.

3-Faint not, Christian! though the world

Has its hostile flag unfurl'd;

Hold the cross of Jesus fast,

Thou shall overcome at last.

4-Faint not, Christian! though within

There's a heart so prone to sin;

Christ the Lord is over all,

He'll not suffer thee to fall.

5-Faint not, Christian! though thy God Smite thee with His chast'ning rod; Smite He must, with father's care, That He may His love declare.

6-Faint not, Christian! Jesu's near;
Soon in glory He'll appear;

And His love will then bestow
Power over every foe.

7-Faint not, Christian! look on high,
See the harpers in the sky;

Patient wait, and thou wilt join—
Chant with them of love divine.
