Unloose our stamm'ring tongues to tell Thy love, immense, unsearchable. 5 First-born of many brethren, thou To thee both earth and heav'n must bow:

Help us to find our all in thee,
And thine in life and death to be.

53. Lamb. 8-7-7.

In the midst of the throne stood a Lamb. REV. v. 6.

HOPE in CHRIST our Lord possessing,
Let us raise a cheerful psalm:
Glory, honour, pow'r and blessing,
Be for ever to the Lamb!
In the midst of yonder throne,
Lo he stands, he reigus alone.

2 Praise the Lamb! his love unbounded
Is the theme of praise in heav'n:
On his death our hopes are founded;
For our sins his life was giv'n:
And we trust that by his blood
We are reconcil'd to God.

3 Praise the Lamb! ye saints, adore him,
You he saves from endless shame :
See how Angels fall before him,
How they triumph in his name;
His the sceptre, his the crown,
His yon bright eternal throne.

4 Praise the Lamb! repeat his praises, 'Tis a theme, ye saints, for

you:
When our Lord to heav'n shall raise us,
There the subject we'll renew:
And in yonder glorious place,
We shall see the SAVIOUR's face.

5 [There, with all who liv'd as strangers
While ou earth, we hope to be:
Free from toil, from fear, from dangers,
Happy through eternity:

There we hope to see the Lamb!
And for ever praise his name.]

54. Lamb. L. M.

Behold the Lamb of GOD, which taketh away the sin of the world. JOHN i. 29.

BEHOLD the sin-atoning Lamb,
With wonder, gratitude, and love:
To take away our guilt and shame,
See him descending from above.

2 Our sins and griefs on him were laid;
He meekly bore the mighty load;
Our ransom-price he fully paid
In groans and tears, in sweat and blood.

3 To save a guilty world, he dies;
Sinners, behold the bleeding Lamb!
To him lift up your longing eyes,
And hope for mercy in his name.

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;
