Praise the SAVIOUR;

Magnify the sinner's Friend.

3 While we hear the wond'rous story Of the SAVIOUR's cross and shame, Sing we "Everlasting glory

Be to GoD and to the Lamb."
Saints and angels,

Give ye glory to his name.

My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.-PSALM Xxiii. 5. SALVATION! Oh, the joyful sound! 'Tis pleasure to our ears;

A sov'reign balm for ev'ry wound,
A cordial for our fears.

2 Bury'd in sorrow and in sin,
At hell's dark door we lay;
But we arise by grace divine,
To see a heav'nly day.

3 Salvation! let the echo fly

The spacious earth around;
While all the armies of the sky
Conspire to raise the sound.

4 Salvation! O thou bleeding lamb!
To thee the praise belongs:
Salvation shall inspire our hearts,
And dwell upon our tongues.

158. For Salvation. 8-7-4.

The Lord is my light and my salvation.-PSALM XXvii. 1.

O THOU GOD of our salvation!
JESUS now enthron'd in light :
Look from thine exalted station,
Look from yonder glorious height:
Save thy people:

Put thine enemies to flight.

2 Thou wast once like us assaulted:
Once "a Man of Sorrows" here:
Now to heav'n with joy exalted,
Thou art first and highest there:
Yet thy people

Know their pray'rs will reach thine

ear.

3 Sing, ye saints, for you have reason:
JESUS is your glorious chief:
In affliction's sharpest season,
Think on this, 'twill bring relief:
Sing with gladness:

JESUS knows and shares your grief.

4 Earthly things are transitory;
Empty all the world can yield:
JESUS gives us grace and glory:
JESUS is our sun and shield.
Fair our portion:

Our's a cup with blessings fill'd.

O come, let us sing unto the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.-PSALM XCV. 1.

POOR sinner, come, cast off thy fear,
And raise thy drooping head;
Come, sing, with all poor sinners here,
JESUS who once was dead.

2 Salvation sing: no word more meet
To join to JESU's name :

Let ev'ry thankful tongue repeat
"Salvation to the Lamb."

3 Saints, from the garden to the cross,
Your conq'ring Lord pursue;
Who dearly to redeem your loss,
Groan'd, bled, and died for you.
4 Now reigns victorious over death
The glorious great I AM;
Let ev'ry soul repeat with faith,
"Salvation to the Lamb!"

160. For Salvation. S. M.

And they sing the Song of Moses the servant of GOD, and the Song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and marvellous are thy works, LORD GOD ALMIGHTY; just and true are thy ways, thou King of Saints.-REV.

xv. 3.

AWAKE, and sing the song

Of Moses and the Lamb;

Wake every hear, and every tongue
To praise the SAVIOUR'S name.

Sing of his dying love;
Sing of his rising power;
Sing how he intercedes above
For those, whose sins he, bore.

Sing on your heavenly way,
Ye ransom'd sinners, sing;
Sing on, rejoicing every day
In CHRIST, the eternal King.

Soon shall we hear him say
"Ye blessed children, come:"
Soon will he call us hence away,
And take his pilgrims home.

Soon shall our raptur❜d tongue
His endless praise proclaim;
And sweeter voices swell the song
Of Moses and the Lamb.

The Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.— MATTHEW xx. 28.

SAVIOUR of men, and Lord of love,
How sweet thy gracious name!
With joy that errand we review,
On which thy mercy came.

2 While all thy owu angelic bands
Stood waiting on the wing,
Charm'd with the honour to obey
Their great eternal King;

3 For us, mean, wretched, sinful men,
Thou laidst that glory by ;—
First, in our mortal flesh, to serve ;
Then, in that flesh, to die.

4 Bought with thy service and thy blood,
We doubly, Lord, are thine ;
To thee our lives we would devote,
To thee our death resign.

161. For Salvation. S.M.

I will sing aloud of thy mercy.-Psalm lix. 16.

COME, saints, and let us sing
Of CHRIST our risen Lord,
Of CHRIST, the everlasting King,
Of CHRIST, the incarnate Word.

2 On this delightful theme

The angels love to dwell:-
How glorious should the subject seem
To sinners sav'd from hell!

3 Ah! can we sing too-loud,
Whom God hath deign'd to call?
To other gods we lately bow'd,
But he has pardon'd all!

4 Hail, mighty SAVIOUR, hail !
Whose power we daily prove :
Till heart and flesh together fail,
We'll sing thy matchless love!
