Who is a GOD like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.-MIC. vii. 18. O JESUS, let me bless thy name! Take, take away this heart of stone; 2 A poor, ungrateful wretch, to thee 3 Then let thy Spirit shed abroad The love, the wond'rous love of God, In this cold heart of mine: 4 What shall I plead my suit to gain? And take me for thine own. 5 Take the dear purchase of thy blood, 355. Pleading the Atonement. 7s Behold, O GOD, our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. PSALM lxxxiv. 9.

I've Canaan's goodly land in view, 6 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there 7 Jerusalem! my happy home, 357. Praise for Delivering Grace. L.M.

TO GOD MY SAVIOUR and my King, 2 *Helpless, un pitied, once I lay, 3 With speed he flew to my relief, Pour'd joys divine into my heart, 4 Deep in my inmost soul, O LORD, The life, which I from thee receive, 5 My heart and tongue shall tune thy praise, Thro' the remainder of my days, * EZEK. xvi. 4 to 9. |
