Reflections on the Death of Jesus.

1 WITH warm affection let us view,
With pious grief improve,
The solemn and impressive scene
Of Jesus' dying love.

2 Not all the malice of his foes,
His pity could subdue;

Father! forgive,' he meekly prayed,

They know not what they do.'
3 0 what a love was here displayed,
Beyond our utmost thought!
How pure the lessons, how sublime,
In life and death he taught !

4 Let not his sacred truths, by us
Be lost, or misapplied;

Nor let our thoughtless hearts forget
That 'twas for us he died.

His precious blood he shed

For our unworthy race,

While uttering, in the Almighty's stead, His messages of grace.

(403)

3

Oh! if our senseless pride

His dying words neglect,

'Tis we who pierce his sacred side, And we who God reject.

4 Then let us ever keep

This consecrated feast,

Till memory shall have sunk to sleep,
Or life itself have ceased.

Brotherly Kindness from the Precept and Example of Chris

1 YE followers of the Prince of peace.
Who round his table draw!
Remember what his spirit was,
What his peculiar law.

2 The love, which all his bosom filled,
Did all his actions guide ;

Inspired by love, he lived and taught:
Inspired by love, he died.

3 Let all the sacred law fulfil ;
Like his be every mind d;

Be every temper formed by love,
And every action kind.

4 Let none, who call themselves his friends,

Disgrace the honoured name;

But by a near resemblance prove
The title which they claim.

Beddome.

1 AGAIN our earthly cares we leave
And to thy courts repair;
Again with joyful feet we come,
To meet our Father here.

2 Within these walls let holy peace,
And love, and concord, dwell;
Here give the troubled conscience ease,
The wounded spirit heal.

3 The feeling heart, the melting eye,
The humble mind bestow!

And shine upon us from on high,
To make our graces grow.
