5 Love and grief my heart dividing,
With my tears his feet I'll bathe;
Constant still in faith abiding,
Life deriving from his death:L
6 Lord, in ceaseless contemplation,
Fix my heart and eyes on thine,
Till 1 taste thy whole salvation,
Where unveil'd thy glories shine.

112. Crucifixion. C.M.

Who for the joy that was set before him endured the Cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of GOD.-HEB. XI. 2.

FOR whom is yonder crown prepar'd,
Of workmanship divine ?
For JESUS is the bright reward:
For him its glories shine, odre

2 Beneath the earth awhile he lies,
A pris'ner with the dead:
A victor soon the Lord will rise,
And glory wreath his head.

3 He saw the cross, despis'd its shame,
And bow'd beneath its weight;
For this he bears the greatest name,
And gains the highest seat.

4 To him shall every knee be bow'd: His claim shall angels own :

Around the rising victor crowd, waf And hail him to his throne.

5 [Methinks I see the glorious King
By hosts angelic crown'd:

They shout, and heav'n's high arches
With the triumphant sound]. [ring

6 Let saints on earth their tribute bring,
And echo back the sound;
For he who saves them is the King
By hosts angelic crown'd.

113. Crucifixion. L.M.

They shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his first born.-ZECH. xii. 10.

EXTENDED on the accursed tree, Bath'd in his own most precious blood, See there, the King of Glory see! Sinks and expires the SON OF GOD! 2 Who, who,my SAVIOUR, this hath done? Who could thy sacred body wound? No guilt thy spotless soul had known, No guile had in thy lips been found. 3 Ah, Lord!-'Tis I have done the deed! "Tis I thy sacred flesh have torn ; My sins have caused thee to bleed; Pointed the nail, and fix'd the thorn!

4 For me the burthen to sustain

Too great, on thee, my Lord, was laid: To heal me, thou hast borne my pain; To bless me, thou a curse wast made.

5 My SAVIOUR! how shall I proclaim,
How pay the mighty debt I owe?
May all I have, and all I am,
Ceaseless to all thy glory show!
6 [The meek, the patient, lowly mind
O may I learn from thee, my GoD;
And love, with pardoning pity join'd,
For those that trample on thy blood!]

114. Death. 9-8.

When JESUS therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head and gave up the ghost.-JOHN xix. 30.

I SEE his hands and feet extended,
Upon the Cross, in keenest smart;
He bows his head-the conflict's ended, '
I see a spear transfix his heart!
Thus closed he his bitter passion,
Expiring on th' accursed tree;
Then horror seiz'd the whole creation,
But streams of grace came over me.

2 Lord for thy deep humiliation

I'll thank and laud thee all my days; Long as I live, without cessation

May ev'ry breath declare thy praise! O may that hand, whereon engraven Each pardon'd sinner's name doth Support me, till I in thy haven [stand, Of endless bliss shall safely land;

Resurrection. L. M.

If we be dead with CHRIST, we believe that we shall also live with him: knowing that CHRIST being raised from the dead, dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.-ROM. vi. 8, 9.

WHEN I the holy grave survey,
Where once my SAVIOUR deign'd to lie;
I see fulfill'd what prophets say,
And all the power of death defy.
2 This empty tomb shall now proclaim
How weak the bands of conquer'd death:
Sweet pledge, that all who trust his name
Shall rise, and draw immortal breath!
3 [Our surety, freed, declares us free,
For whose offences he was seiz'd:
In his release our own we see,
And view JEHOVAH's wrath appeas'd.]

4 JESUS once number'd with the dead,
Bursts from the tomb to die no more :
And ever lives their cause to plead,
For whom the pains of death he bore.
5 Thy risen Lord, my soul, behold!
See the rich diadein he wears!
Thou too shalt bear a harp of gold
To crown thy joy when he appears.

6 Though in the dust I lay my head,
Yet, gracious GOD, thou wilt not leave
My flesh for ever with the dead,
Nor lose thy children in the grave.

116. Resurrection. CM.

Blessed be the GOD and Father of our Lord JESUS CHRIST, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of JESUS CHRIST from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.-I. PET. i. 3, 4, 5.

BLESS'D be the everlasting GOD,
The Father of our Lord;

Be his abounding mercy prais'd,
His majesty ador'd.

2 When from the dead he rais'd his Son,
And call'd him to the sky,
He gave our souls a lively hope
That they should never die.

3 What though our inbred sins require Our flesh to see the dust,

Yet as the Lord, the SAVIOUR rose,
So all his followers must.

4 There's an inheritance divine Reserv'd against that day; 'Tis uncorrupted, undefil'd, And cannot fade away.

5 Saints by the pow'r of GoD are kept Till their salvation come; sof We walk by faith as pilgrims here, Till CHRIST shall call us home...
