4 Pardon, and peace, thro' him abound,
He can the richest blessings give;
Salvation in his name is found,
He bids the dying sinner live.
5 JESUS, my Lord, I look to thee-
Where else can helpless sinners go?
Thy boundless love shall set me free
From all my wretchedness and woe.

55. Lamb. 7—6—8.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.-ISAIAH liii. 5.

LAMB of God, for sinners slain,
To thee 1 feebly pray;

Heal me of my grief and pain,
O take my sins away.

From this bondage, Lord, release.
No longer let me be opprest;
JESUS, master, seal my peace,
And take me to thy breast.

2 Hast thou not invited all

Who groan beneath their sin?
Weary, I obey thy call,

And come to be made clean;
Give my burden'd conscience ease,
O grant me now the promis'd rest,
JESUS, master, &c.

3 Wilt thou cast a sinner out,
Who so humbly comes to thee?
No, my God, I cannot doubt
Thy mercy is for me;

Let me then obtain thy grace,
And be of paradise possest.
JESUS, master, &c.

56. Lamb. C. M.

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows. -ISAIAH liii. 4.

THOU Lamb of GoD, that on the tree, Our bitter burdens bore,

And lov'd, till death a worm like me! I bow, admire, adore.

2 Thy head the crown of thorns that wears, With brightest radiance glows;

That "visage, marr'd" with blood and tears,

Transcendent beauty shows.

3. Those wounded hands, stretch'd out so wide,

Proclaim the sinner's friend;

And issuing from thy pierced side
Life-giving streams descend.

4 By men despis'd, rejected, scorn'd,
No beauty they can see;

With grace and glory all adorn'd

The loveliest form to me.

57. Lamb. C. M.

Behold the Lamb of GOD.-JOHN i. 36.

BEHOLD the Lamb of God, who bore
Thy burdens on the tree;
And paid in blood the dreadful score,
The rausom due for thee!

2 Look to him till the sight endears
The Saviour to thy heart;
His pierced feet bedew with tears,
Nor from his Cross depart.

3 Look to him till his dying love
Thy ev'ry thought controul;
Its vast constraining influence prove
O'er body, spirit, soul.

4 Look to him, as the race you run,
Your never-failing friend;
Finish he will the work begun,
And grace in glory end.

58. Lamb. 8-7.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.ISAIAH liii. 6.

HAIL! thou once-despised JESUS,
Hail thou Galilean king!
Thou didst suffer to release us;
Thou didst free salvation bring;

Hail thou agonizing Saviour,
Bearer of our sin and shame!
By thy merits we find favour;
Life is given through thy name.
2 Paschal Lamb, by GoD appointed,
All our sins on thee were laid':
By almighty love anointed,

Thou hast full atonement made:
All thy people are forgiven

Through the virtue of thy blood;, Open'd is the gate of heaven;

'Peace is made 'twixt man and GOD.

3 JESUS, hail, enthron'd in glory,
There for ever to abide!

All the heav'nly host adore thee,
Seated at thy father's side:
There for sinners thou art pleading:
There thou dost our place prepare ;
Ever for us interceding,

Till in glory we appear.

4 Worship, honour, power, and blessing,
Thou art worthy to receive;
Loudest praises, without ceasing,
Meet it is for us to give:
Help, ye bright angelic spirits!
Bring your sweetest, noblest lays!
Help to sing our Saviour's merits,
Help to chant IMMANUEL's praise.

59. The Leader of his People. S. M.

He led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.-PSALM cvii. 7.

THOU very paschal Lamb,
Whose blood for us was shed,
Thro' whom we out of Egypt came ;
Thy ransom'd people lead.

2 Angel of Gospel-grace!
Fulfil thy character;

To guard and feed thy chosen race,
In Israel's camp appear.

3 Throughout the desert-way
Conduct us by thy light;
Be thou a cooling cloud by day,
A cheering fire by night.
4 Our fainting souls sustain
With blessings from above;
And ever on thy people rain
The manna of thy love.

60. The Life. L. M.

Because I live, ye shall live also.-JOHN xiv. 19.

WHEN sins and fears prevailing rise,
And fainting hope almost expires;
JESUS, to thee I lift mine eyes,
To thee I breathe my soul's desires.
