HYMN 31. L. M. Munich. Moreton. [*] Christ's Intercession. Heb. vii, 25.

1H What joy the blest assurance gives!—

E lives-the great Redeemer lives;

-And now before his Father God,
Pleads the full merits of his blood.
e 2 Repeated crimes awake our fears,
And justice, arm'd with frowns, appears ;
-But in the Saviour's lovely face,

o Sweet mercy smiles-and all is peace!
-3 Hence, then, ye black, despairing thoughts-
Above our fears, above our faults,
o His powerful intercessions rise;
And guilt recedes, and terrour dies.
e 4 In ev'ry dark, distressful hour,
When sin and Satan join their power,
-Let this dear hope repel the dart-
That Jesus bears us on his heart.
5 Great Advocate, almighty Friend!
On him our humble hopes depend;
• Our cause can never, never fail,
For Jesus pleads, and must prevail

HYMN 32. 8 & 7. Calvary. [*]

Praise to the Redeemer.

1 HAIL, thou once despised Jesus!

Thou didst free salvation bring;
By thy death thou didst release us
From the tyrant's deadly sting.
2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
All our sins on thee were laid;
Great High Priest, by God anointed,
Thou hast full atonement made.
3 Contrite sinners are forgiven,
Through the virtue of thy blood :
Open'd is the gate of heaven,

Peace is made for man with God

g 4 Jesus, hail! enthron'd in glory
There for ever to abide;

All the heavenly hosts adore thee
Seated at thy Father's side.

Steele

e 5 There for sinners thou art pleading; There thou dost our place prepare; Ever for us interceding,

Till in heaven we appear.

o 6 Glory, honour, power and blessing, Thou art worthy to receive;

• Loudest praises, without ceasing, Meet it is for us to give.

HYMN 33. 7's. Redeeming Love. [*]

Redeeming Love.

• 1 N Sing aloud in Jesus' name;

OW begin the heavenly theme,

-Ye who Jesus' kindness prove,
Triumph in redeeming love.

2 Ye who see the Father's grace,
Beaming in the Saviour's face,
o As to Canaan on ye move,
Praise and bless redeeming love.

e 3 Mourning souls, dry up your tears,
Banish all your guilty fears;
• See your guilt and curse remove,
Cancell'd by redeeming love.

e 4 Ye, alas! who long have been
Willing slaves of death and sin!
-Now from bliss no longer rove;
Stop, and taste redeeming love.
o 5 Welcome, all by sin oppress'd-
Welcome to his sacred rest:
d Nothing brought him from above,
Nothing but redeeming love.

6 He subdu'd th' infernal powers;
His tremendous foes and ours
From their cursed empire drove,
Mighty in redeeming love.

o 7 Hither, then, your music bring,
u Strike alond each joyful string;
-Mortals, join the hosts above-
g Join to praise redeeming love.

Unconscious of its load!

HOW

e The heart, unchang'd, can never rise To happiness and God.

p 2 The will perverse, the passions blind, In paths of ruin stray;

Reason, debas'd can never find

The safe, the narrow way.

e 3 Can ought, beneath a power divine, The stubborn will subdue?

• 'Tis thine, almighty Saviour, thine, To form the heart anew.

4 "Tis thine the passions to recall, And upward bid them rise

And make the scales of errour fall,
From reason's darken'd eyes.

5 To chase the shades of death away,

And bid the sinner live;

A beam of heaven, a vital ray

'Tis thine alone to give.

p 6 O change these wretched hearts of ours And give them life divine!

o Then shall our passions and our powers, Almighty Lord, be thine!

Prayer for the Spirit. John xiv, 26.

COME, Holy Spirit, come,

Let thy bright beams arise; Dispel the sorrow from our mindsThe darkness from our eyes.

2

Convince us of our sin;

Then lead to Jesus' blood;

And to our wond'ring view reveal
The secret love of God.

3

Revive our drooping faith ;
Our doubts and fears remove,
And kindle in our breasts the flame
Of never-dying love.

4 'Tis thine to cleanse the heart-
To sanctify the soul-

To pour fresh life in ev'ry part,
And new-create the whole.
Dwell, Spirit, in our hearts;
Our minds from bondage free;

05

o Then shall we know, and praise, and love, The Father, Son, and Thee.

HYMN 36. L. M. Carthage. [b]
Sorrow for Sin.

POH that my load of sin were gone!

Oh that I could at last submit!

At Jesus' feet to lay me down-
To lay my soul at Jesus' feet.
e 2 Rest for my soul I long to find :
Saviour of all, if mine thou art-
Give me thy meek, thy lowly mind,
And stamp thine image on my heart.
-3 Break off the yoke of inbred sin,
And fully set my spirit free:

I cannot rest till pure within,—
Till I am wholly lost in thee.

4 Fain would I learn of thee, my God;
Thy light and easy burden prove

Hart.

The cross, all stain'd with hallow'd blood-
The labour of thy dying love.

d 5 I would-but thou must give the power;
My heart from ev'ry sin release;

Bring near, bring near the joyful hour,
And fill me with thy perfect peace.

o 6 Come, Lord, the drooping sinner cheer,
Nor let thy chariot wheels delay;
Appear, in my poor heart appear;
My God, my Saviour, come away

HYMN 37. C. M. Canterbury. Wantage. [b]

Repentance.

HOW oft, alas! this wretched heart

Has wander'd from the Lord!

How oft my roving thoughts depart,
Forgetful of his word!

2 Yet Sovereign mercy calls-' Return:'
Dear Lord, and may I come!

My vile ingratitude I mourn:
Oh take the wanderer home.

3 And canst thou-wilt thou yet forgive,
And bid my crimes remove?
And shall a pardon'd rebel live,
To speak thy wondrous love!

4 Almighty grace, thy healing power,
How glorious-how divine

That can to life and bliss restore

So vile a heart as mine.

5 Thy pard'ning love-so free-so sweet-

Dear Saviour, I adore;

Oh keep me at thy sacred feet,

And let me rove no more.

HYMN 38. L. M. Armley. [b]
Sinner submitting to God.

Steele

1 WEARY of struggling with my pain,
Hopeless to burst this sinful chain,

At length I give the contest o'er,
And seek to free myself no more.

2 From my own works at last I cease-
God, who creates, must seal my peace;
Fruitless my toil, and vain my care,
Unless thy sovereign grace I share.
e 3 Lord, I despair myself to heal;
I see my sin, but cannot feel ;
1 cannot, till thy Spirit blow,
And bid th' obedient waters flow.
4 'Tis thine a heart of flesh to give,
Thy gifts I only can receive;
Here, then, to thee I all resign;
To draw, redeem, and seal is thine.

o 5 Speak, gracious Lord, my sickness cure;
Make my infected nature pure;

Peace, righteousness, and joy, impart,
And pour thyself into my heart.

HYMN 39. C. M. Reading. [b*] Sinner resolving to go to Christ. Esth. iv, 16. 1 COME, humble sinner, in whose breast

A thousand thoughts revolve;

Come, with your guilt and fear oppress'd,
And make this last resolve:-
