He suffer'd on Mount Calvary-yes, there he ransom'd me,

The law demands attention to pay the penalty.

6 With rugged thorns they pierc'd, and nail'd him to the tree,

All nature seem'd to mourn, to behold the cruelty; But justice cried against him, come pay the sinner's due,

The debt you've undertaken, you therefore must go through.

7 They plac'd him in a sepulchre, it being near at hand;

The grave it could not hold him, nor death's cold iron band;

He burst the bars asunder, he pull'd their kingdom down,

He overcame his enemies, and wears a starry

crown.

8 Now at his resurrection, to Mary he appear'd, Go, tell to my disciples, what you have seen and heard;

Go, tell them I am risen, and death can do no

more.

I'm going to my Father, to live for evermore.

9 He came to his disciples, and found them all alone,

And gave them their commission, to make his gospel known;

Go, preach it to all nations, baptize them in my name,

Beginning at Jerusalem, 'twas there I suffer'd shame.

10 Go, preach it to all nations, that they may hear and know,

Go, publish free salvation, that men to Heaven

may go;

In ev'ry sore temptation, you succour I will send, And lo! I will be with you, until the world shall end

HYMN 25. C. M.

THW glorious day is drawing nigh,

When Zion's light shall come:

She shall arise and shine on high,
Clear as the morning sun.

The north and south their sons resign,
And earth's strong pillars bend;
Adorn'd as a bride, Jerusalem,

All glorious shall descend.

2 The King who bears the golden crown,
The azure flaming bow,
The holy city shall bring down,

To bless his saints below.

When Zion's bleeding, conqu'ring King,
Shall sin and death destroy,

The morning stars together sing,
And Zion shout for joy.

3 The holy bright musician band,
Shall tune their harps of gold,
With palms of vict'ry they shall stand,
Fair Salem to behold.

Descending with such melting strains,
Jehovah's name adore:

Such notes thro' earth's extensive plains,
Were never heard before!

4 Let Satan rage and boast no more,
Ye fiends of darkness fly,

poor,

Tho' saints are feeble, weak and
Their great Redeemer's nigh;
He is their shield-their hiding-place,
A covert from the wind-

A shady rock of boundless grace,
Throughout this weary land.

5 The crystal streams run down from heav';, They issue from the throne,

The floods of strife away are driv❜n,

The church becomes but one.

That peaceful union she shall know,
And live upon his love;

And shout and sing of grace below,
As angels do above!

HYMN 26. P. M.

COME, my Christian friends and brethren.

Bound for Canaan's happy land;

Come, unite and walk together,

Christ the Saviour gives command.

2 Lay aside all party spirit,

Slight your Christian friends no more; Come, unite, through Jesu's merit,

Zion's peace again restore.

3 We'll not bind our brother's conscience,
This to God alone is free,
Nor contend for non-essentials,

But in Christ united be.

4 Here's the word, the grand criterion, This shall all our doctrines prove: Christ, the centre of our union,

And the bond is Christian love.

5 Here's my hand, my heart, and spirit,
Now in fellowship I'll give,
Now we love and peace inherit,

Show the world how Christians live.

6 Now we're one in Christ, our Saviour, Male or female, bond or free;

Christ is all in all for ever,

And we're happy, Lord, in thee.

HYMN 27. C. M.

As Jacob did in days of old,

So will my soul do now;

Wrestle, and on my Jesus hold,
Nor will I let him go.

2 Like Jacob, I am weak and faint,
And overwhelm'd with wo

1

Lord, hear, and pity my complaint,
For I'll not let thee go.

3 I come, encourag'd by thy word,
That mercy thou wilt show;
Unless thou bless me, dearest Lord,
I will not let thee go.

4 I come to ask forgiveness free,
Though I have been thy foe;
Unless thou grant it, Lord, to me,
I will not let thee go.

5 I come, to open all my wounds,
My sorrows and my wo;
Unless thy healing grace abounds,
I will not let thee go.

6 I come, thy promises to plead,
Where love and mercy flow;
Unless thou bless me, Lord, indeed,
I will not let thee go.

7 I come, to give thee this vile heart,
Which sin has mangled so;
Unless salvation thou impart,
I will not let thee go.

8 I come, to ask for all thy love,
And all thou canst bestow,
Unless the blessing, Lord, I prove,
I will not let thee go.

9 Thus will I wrestle, while I live,
A pilgrim here below;
And when in glory I arrive,
1 will not let thee go.

HYMN 28. P. M.

THEN shall we all meet again?
When shall we all meet again

Oft shall glowing hope aspire,
Oft shall wearied love retire,
Oft shall death and sorrow reign,
Ere we all shall meet again.

1

2 Though in distant lands we sigh,
Parch'd beneath the hostile sky;
Though the deep between as rolls,
Friendship shall unite our souls;"
And in fancy's wide domain,
There shall we all meet again.

3 When the dreams of life are fled,
When its wasted lamps are dead;
When in cold oblivion's shade,
Beauty, wealth, and fame are laid,
Where immortal spirits reign,
There may we all meet again."

HYMN 29. P. M.

THE Song of Salvation it is so divine, There's music and melody in ev'ry line: It was sung by the Hebrews when deliv'rance they found,

When old Simeon finds Jesus, sweet praises doth sound.

2 There is a day coming when louder we'll sing, Sweet anthems of praises to Jesus our King; Then we shall mount up from all sorrow and pain,

The Kingdom of Heaven eternally gain.

3 O sinners, we're trav'lling to yonder bright world,

From which, by transgression, the angels were hurl'd,

We bid you a final, eternal farewell :

Unless you're converted, you'll sink down to hell.

4 Awake, O poor sinners, awake from your sin, To call on your Saviour this moment begin; But if you neglect it again and again,

When God speaks your sentence we must sayAmen.
