25. For Redemption. 7s.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will towards men.-LUKE ii. 14.

GLORY be to GOD on high,
God whose glory fills the sky;
Peace on earth, and man forgiv'n,
Man, the well-belov'd of heav'n.

2 CHRIST Our Lord and GoD we own,
CHRIST the Father's only Son,
Lamb of God for sinners slain,
SAVIOUR of offending man.

3 Bow thine ear, in mercy bow,
Hear, the world's atonement thou;
JESUS, in thy name we pray,
Take, O take our sins away.

4 Pow'rful advocate with Gop
Justify us by thy blood;

Bow thine ear, in mercy bow,
Hear, the world's atonement thou.

26. Salvation. 104th.

PSALM XCIII.

YE servants of God, your Master proclaim;

And publish abroad his wonderful name;
The name all-victorious of JESUS extol;
His kingdom is glorious, he rules over
all,

2 GOD ruleth on high, Almighty to save; And still he is nigh; his presence we have:

With glad exultation, his triumph we sing,

Ascribing salvation to JESUS our King.

3 Salvation to GOD, who sits on the throne, Let all cry aloud, and honour the Son: Our JESUS's praises the angels proclaim; Fall down on their faces, and worship the Lamb.

4 Then let us adore, and give him his right;

All glory, and pow'r, and wisdom, and might,

All honour, and blessing, with angels above;

And thanks never ceasing, and infinite love.

27. Salvation. C. M.

And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation.-PSALM XXXV. 9.

SALVATION! O melodious sound
To wretched dying men!
Salvation that from GoD proceeds,
And leads to God again!

D

2 But O! may a degen rate soul,
Sinful and weak as mine,
Presume to raise a trembling eye
To blessings so divine!

3 The lustre of so bright a bliss
My feeble heart o'erbears;
And unbelief almost perverts
The promise into tears.

4 My Saviour-GoD, no voice but thine
These dying hopes can raise :"
Speak thy Salvation to my soul,
And turn its tears to praise.

5 My Saviour-GoD, this broken voice
Transported shall proclaim,
And call on all th' angelic harps
To sound so sweet a name.

28. Praise to the Trinity. 148th.

WE give immortal praise
To God the Father's love,
For all our comforts here,
And better hopes above:
He sent his own

Eternal Son,

To die for sins

That man had done.

2 To God the Son belongs
Immortal glory too,

Who bought us with his blood
From everlasting woe:
And now he lives,

And now he reigns,
And sees the fruit
Of all his pains.

3 To GOD the Spirit's name
Immortal worship give,
Whose new-creating Pow'r
Makes the dead sinner live;
His work completes

The great design,
And fills the soul
With joy divine.

4 Almighty God! to Thee
Be endless honours done,
The undivided Three,
And the mysterious One!
Where reasou fails
With all her pow'rs,
There faith prevails,
And love adores.

29. Praise to the Trinity. 8s.

For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.EPH. ii. 18.

O FATHER, thou fountain of love,
Flowing out to lost sinners below:
O JESUS, sent down from above,
All blessings on us to bestow;

2 And, O thou blest SPIRIT of God,
Proceeding from Father and Son,
Now fix in our hearts thine abode,
Complete the salvation begun.

1

3 JEHOVAH! the great One in Three
Our Covenant GOD we adore;
With joy we'll ascribe unto thee
All glory and praise evermore.

30. For his Word. C. M.

Thou hast known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus.-2 TIM. iii. 15.

FATHER of mercies, in thy word

What endless glory shines!

For ever be thy name ador'd
For these celestial lines.

2 Here springs of consolation rise,
To cheer the fainting mind:
And thirsty souls receive supplies,
And sweet refreshment find.
