4 Praise, ye, then, his glorious name,
Publish his exalted fame;

Still his worth our praise exceeds ;
Excellent are all his deeds!

5 Raise again the joyful sound,
Let the nations roll it round!
Zion, shout, for this is he;

GOD, the SAVIOUR, dwells in thee.

For ye know the grace of our Lord JESUS CHRIST, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.-2 COR. viii. 9.

PLUNG'D in a gulph 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 Grace Beheld our helpless grief;

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 human tongues
The SAVIOUR'S 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.

148. For Redemption. 7s.

In his love, and in his pity, he redeemed them.-ISAIAH lxiii. 9.

NOW begin the heavenly theme,
Sing aloud the SAVIOUR'S name;
Ye, who JESU's kindness prove,
Triumph in-Redeeming Love.
2 Ye, who see the Father's grace
Beaming in IMMANUEL's face,
As to Cauaan on ye move,
Praise and bless-Redeeming Love.
3 Mourning souls, dry up your tears,
Banish all your guilty fears;
See your guilt and sin remove,
Cancell❜d by-Redeeming Love.
4 Ye, alas! who long have been
Willing slaves of death and sin,
Now from bliss no longer rove,
Stop and taste-Redeeming Love.
5 Welcome, all by sin opprest,
Welcome all to JESUS CHRIST;
Nothing brought him from above,
Nothing but Redeeming Love.

6 Hither then your music bring,
Strike aloud each joyful string;
Mortals join the hosts above,
Join to praise-Redeeming Love.

149. For Redemption. C.M.

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped; Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing; for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.-ISAIAH XXXV. 5, 6.

O FOR a thousand tongues to sing
My dear Redeemer's praise;
The glories of my GOD and King;
The triumphs of his grace!

2 My gracious Master and my GOD,
Assist me to proclaim,

To spread through all the earth abroad,
The honours of thy name.

3 JESUS subdues the pow'r of sin,
And sets the prisoners free;

His blood can make the foulest clean;
May it avail for me!

4 He speaks, and list'ning to his voice, New life the dead receive;

The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
The humble poor believe.

5 [Look unto him, ye nations: own
Your God, ye fallen race;
Look, and be sav'd through faith alone,
Be justified by grace.

6 See all your sins on JESUS laid:
The Lamb of GOD was slain :
His soul was once an offering made
For fallen, sinful man.]

150. For Redemption. 8-7.

The number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.-REV. v. 11, 12.

HARK, the notes of angels singing-
"Glory, glory to the Lamb!"
All in heav'n their tribute bringing,
Raising high the SAVIOUR's name.

2 Ye, for whom his life is given,
Sacred themes to you belong:
Come, assist the choir of heaven:
Join the everlasting song.

3 Saints and angels thus united,
Songs imperfect still must raise;
Tho' despis'd on earth, and slighted
Jesus is above all praise.

4 See th' angelic hosts have crown'd him, JESUS fills the throne on high: Countless myriads, hov'ring round him With his praises rend the sky.

5 Fill'd with holy emulation,

Let us vie with those above :
Sweet the theme-a free salvation!
Fruit of everlasting love.

6 Endless life in him possessing,
Let us praise his precious name:
Glory, honour, power and blessing,
Be for ever to the Lamb.

151. For Redemption. C.M.

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the HOLY GHOST, which is in you, which ye have of GOD, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify GOD in your body, and in your spirit, which are GOD's.-1 COR. vi. 19, 20.

WE'LLsing the praise of him, who gave
His precious life for us:

'Twas wonderful at all to save;
But more to do it thus.

2 How awful must our state have been, When nothing but his blood,

Who gave us life, could make us clean,
And bring us back to GoD:
