3 When guilt, and terror, pain, and grief, United rend the heart, Here sinners meet divine relief, 4 Here the Redeemer's welcome voice 5 O may these heav'nly pages be And still new beauties may I see, 6 Divine instructor, gracious Lord, Teach me to love thy sacred word, SECTION SECOND. CHARACTERS OF CHRIST. 31. Advocate. C. M. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, 2 With cries and tears, be offered up 3 For all that come to God by him, Points to their names upon his breast, And spreads his wounded hands. 4 His sweet atoning sacrifice Gives sanction to his claim: Eternal life, at his request, To every saint is given: 32. All in all. C. M. Christ is all, and in all.-COL. iii. 11. COMPAR'D with CHRIST, in all beside The one thing needful, gracious Lord, 2 The knowledge of thy dying love 3 Less than thyself will not suffice More than thyself I cannot crave; 4 Lov'd of my GOD, for him again 5 Whate'er consists not with thy love, I'm rich to all th' intents of bliss, 33. All in all. 78. Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.-PSALM lii. 25. JESU! meek, redeeming lamb, Take my body, spirit, soul; 2 Thou my one thing needful be; 3 Fairer than the sons of men, 4 Whom have I on earth below? 5 All my treasure is above, 34. All in all. 113th. In the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me upon a rock.-PSALM xxvii. 5. WHY should I fear the darkest hour, 2 Though hot the fight, why quit the field, 3 When creature-comforts fade and die, Worldlings may weep,but why should I? JESUS still lives, and still is nigh. 4 Though all the flocks and herds were dead, My soul a famine need not dread, For JESUS is my living bread. 5 I know not what may soon betide, Or how my wants shall be supplied; But JESUS knows, and will provide. 6 Though sin would fill me with distress, The throne of grace I dare address, For Jesus is my righteousness. 7 Though faint my pray'rs, and cold my love, My steadfast hope shall not remove, 8 Against me earth and hell combine; But on my side is pow'r divine; JESUS is all, and he is mine. 35. All in all. P. M. Looking unto Jesus.-HEBREWS xii. 2. LAMB of GOD, we fall before thee, All things else we count but loss. |
