Complete salvation, lo! he wears,
With Majesty divine !

[3 Why thus array'd, almighty God,
In vests of purple glow;

With garments dy'd in streams of blood,
That from the wine-press flow?

4 The wine-press I myself have trod;
"And with me there was none;

"Your strength and your salvation stood
"Complete in me alone."]

5 When not an angel's strength could bear
The veng'ance of a God;
Then did the Son of man appear
In garments roll'd in blood.

6 Alone he stood, alone he fell,
Alone the Conq'ror rose ;
Alone he burst the bars of hell,
And trampled on his foes.

Support in God's Covenant under domestic Troubles....

2 Sam. xxiii. 5.

1 MY Abides forever sure,
Μ

Y God, the cov❜nant of thy love

And in its matchless grace I feel
My happiness secure.

2 What tho' my house be not with thee,
As nature could desire?

To nobler joys than nature gives

Thy servant doth aspire.

3 Thy cov'nant in the darkest gloom
Shall heav'nly rays impart,
Which, when my eye-lids close in death,
Shall warm my chilling heart.

I will trust....Isaiah xii. 2.

BEGONE, unbelief! my Saviour is near,

for my relief will surely appear;

By pray'r let me wrestle, and he will perform, With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm. 2 Tho' dark be my way, since he is my guide, 'Tis mine to obey, 'tis his to provide ;

Tho' cisterns be broken, and creatures all fail, The word he has spoken shall surely prevail. 3 His love in time past forbids me to think He'll leave me at last in trouble to sink; Each sweet Ebenezer I have in review,

Confirms his good pleasure to bring me quite thro'. 4 Since all that I meet shall work for my good, The bitter is sweet, the med'cine is food; Tho' painful at present, 'twill cease before long, And then, O how pleasant the conq'ror's song! 631. 104th. Wingrove.

Trust in the Lord.

1 E tempted and try'd, to Jesus draw nigh; He suffer'd and dy'd your wants to supply; Trust him for salvation, you need not to grieve, There's no condemnation to them that believe. 2 By day and by night his love is made known; It is his delight to succour his own; [grieve: He will have compassion, then why should you There's no condemnation to them that believe. 3 Tho' satan will seek the sheep to annoy ;

The helpless and weak he ne'er shall destroy; Christ is their salvation, and strength he will give; There's no condemnation to them that believe.

Of Sinai in a blaze,

But learn'd the gospel too :

The types and figures were a glass,

In which they saw the Saviour's face.

The paschal sacrifice,

And blood-besprinkled door,
Seen with enlighten'd eyes,

And once apply'd with pow'r,
Would teach the need of other blood,
To reconcile an angry God.

The lamb, the dove, set forth
His perfect innocence,

Whose blood of matchless worth
Should be the soul's defence;
For he who can for sin atone,
Must have no failings of his own.

The scape-goat on his head
The people's trespass bore,
And, to the desert led,

Was to be seen no more:
In him our surety seem'd to say,
"Behold I bear your sins away.
Dipt in his fellow's blood,
The living bird went free:
The type, well understood,
Express'd the sinner's plea--
Describ'd a guilty soul enlarg'd,

And by a Saviour's death discharg'd,

6 Jesus, I love to trace

Throughout the sacred page,

The footsteps of thy grace,

The same in ev'ry age!

O grant that I may faithful be
To clearer light vouchsaf'd to me !

Paschal Lamb....Heb. ix. 12.

ASCHAL 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,

Thro' 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 forever to abide ;

All the heav'nly hosts adore thee,
Seated at thy Father's side.

4 There, for sinners, thou art pleading→→→ There thou dost our place prepare ; Ever for us interceding,

'Till in glory we appear.

5 Glory, honor, pow'r, and blessing,
Thou art worthy to receive;
Loudest praises, without ceasing,
Meet it is for us to give.

6 When we join th' angelic spirits,
In their sweetest, noblest lays,
We will sing our Saviour's merits-
Gladly chaunt Immanuel's praise.

634. 8.7.4. R- Col.
Superabounding Grace.

1 SOV'REIGN grace o'er sin abounding, Ransom'd souls the tidings swell,

'Tis a deep that knows no sounding; Who its breadth or length can tell 'Tis an ocean

Without bottom or a shore.

2 Once in Christ, in Christ forever;
This the gospel-scheme declares;
Death, nor hell, nor sin shall sever
Jesus from his chosen heirs;
Blest in Jesus,

Members of his mystic frame.
3 Saints above, in full communion,
Shine unspotted with their head;

We can sing eternal union,
Tho' in thorny paths we tread <
One with Jesus

His dear saints have ever been.
4. Here Manasseh joins with Mary,
Full salvation tunes their tongues ;
Here the blind, the halt, the weary,
Join to sing the song of songs;
Shouting free grace

Faith's View of Heaven.

WHE

WHEN faith beholds the saints above, And hears their strains of Jesu's love; I fain would fly to join their lays,

And sing with them my Saviour's praise.
2 But can my soul such bliss obtain,
Whose guilt deserves eternal pain?
Can I expect his face to see
Throughout a vast eternity?

3 If heav'n be mine, 'tis all of grace,
I'll praise him for the lowest place;
May I but reach within the door,
My anxious soul desires no more.
4 There, ye that love my Saviour, sit,
There I with you would fain have place,
Among your thrones or at your feet,
So I might see his lovely face.'
