M. 1 LIKE sheep we went astray, And broke the fold of God; 2 Each wand'ring in a different way, How dreadful was the hour, 3 How glorious was the grace, 4 5 6 When Christ sustained the stroke! His life and blood the Shepherd pays, A ransom for the flock. His honor and his breath Were taken both away; Joined with the wicked in his death, But God shall raise his head O'er all the sons of men, And make him see a numerous seed "I'll give him," saith the Lord, He shall possess a large reward, 99 1 Christ our Example in Suffering. 10 to dark Gethsemane, G Ye who feel the tempter's power: Your Redeemer's conflict see; Watts. 7s.

Tit. iii. 3-7. 1 LORD, we confess our numerous faults, 2 But, O my soul, for ever praise, Who turns thy feet from dangerous ways 3 'Tis not by works of righteousness 4 'Tis from the mercy of our God 'Tis by the water and the blood Our souls are washed from sin. 5 'Tis through the purchase of His death Who hung upon the tree, C.
