HYMN 88. L. M.

Castle Street. [*]

Jehovah-Jesus.

1 MY song shall bless the Lord of all, My praise shall climb to his abode; d Thee, SAVIOUR, by that name I call, The great Supreme, the mighty God. -2 Without beginning, or decline, Object of faith, and not of sease; g Eternal ages saw Him shineHe shines eternal ages hence. e 3 As much when in the manger laid, • Almighty ruler of the sky;

-As when the six day's work he made
o Fill'd all the morning stars with joy.
-4 Of all the crowns Jehovah bears
Salvation is his dearest claim;

That gracious sound well pleas'd he hears,
And owns EMMANUEL for his name.

o 5 A cheerful confidence I feel,

My well plac'd hopes with joy I see; My bosom glows with heav'nly zeal, To worship him who died for me. e 6 As man, he pities my complaint; o His pow'r and truth are all divine; He will not fail, he cannot faint, g Salvation's Sun, and must be mine.

Assurance in Christ our Righteousness. Isa. xiv, 24. Jer. xxiii, 6.

JESUS, thy blood and righteousness

My beauty are, my glorious dress;
'Midst flaming worlds, in these array'd,
With joy shall I lift up my head.

e 2 When from the dust of death I rise,
To claim my mansion in the skies;
-E'en then shall this be all my plea-
d "Jesus hath liv'd—and dyʼd for me!"
-3 Bold shall I stand in that great day.
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully, through thee absolv'd I am,

From sin's tremendous curse and shame;

1

4 Thus Abraham the friend of God, Thus all the armies bought with blood, o Saviour of sinners, thee proclaime Sinners, of whom the chief I am. -5 This spotless robe the same appears, When ruin'd nature sinks in years; No age can change its glorious hue; The robe of Christ is ever new. o 6 O let the dead now hear thy voice; o Now bid thy banish'd ones rejoice; -Their beauty this, their glorious dress, g "JESUS THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS."

HYMN 90. C. M. Arundel. [*]
Holy Fortitude: or, the Christian Soldier.
MI a soldier of the cross?

AA follower of the Lamb!

e And shall I fear to own his cause, Or blush to speak his name?

-2 Must I be carry'd to the skies,
On flow'ry beds of ease?

e Whilst others fought to win the prize,
And sail'd through bloody seas?
-3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?

e Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?

o 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign; Increase my courage Lord;

e

o I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by thy word.

5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die;

o They view the triumph from afar, And seize it with their eye.

o 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thy armies shine,

g

In robes of victory through the skies—
The glory shall be thine.

I am weak, but thou art mighty;
Hold me with thy pow'rful hand:
Bread of heaven,

Feed me till I want no more.

2 Open, Lord, the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing streams do flow
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar,

Lead me all my journey through:
Strong Deliv'rer?

Be thou still my strength and shield. e 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside;

o Death of death, and hell's destruction, Land me safe on Canaan's side:

HYMN 92. L. P. M. Devotion. [*] The Christian's Shepherd. Ps. xxiii. THE Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye; My noonday walks he shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. e 2 When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountains pant, To fertile vales and dewy meads, My weary wand'ring steps he leads; Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amid the verdant landscapes flow. e 3 Though in a bare and rugged way, Through devious, lonely wilds I stray; -His bounty shall my pains beguile; o The barren wilderness shall smile, With lively greens and herbage crown'd, And streams shall murmur all around. o 4 Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrours overspread, o My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, For thou, O Lord, art with me still; Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me thro' the dismal shade.

HYMN 93. L. M. Oporto. [*]
Ministry of Angels. Ps. xci, 11.

SEE

NEE, Gabriel swift descends to earth,
Glad to foretel a Saviour's birth;
Hark! a full choir of angels sing,

The new born Saviour, and the King.
e 2 Behold these swift-wing'd envoys wait
On Jesus, in his humble state;
p The desert and the garden prove
Their glowing zeal, their tender love.
o 3 They saw the Conquerer mount on high,
To glorious worlds beyond the sky;
Escorted by a shining band,

To take his place at God's right hand. -4 Still are these glorious hosts above Employ'd in messages of love;

On saints below they cheerful wait, Nor think the work beneath their state. 5 Jesus, my Lord, my living Friend, May these thy servants me attend, Thro' life; and when I quit this clay, o Safe to thine arms my soul convey.

HYMN 94. C. M. Devizes. [*]

Servants of God always safe.

OW are thy servants bless'd O Lord,
How sure is their defence!

1 HOO

o Eternal wisdom is their guide,

Their help, Omnipotence,

-2 In foreign realms, and lands remote,
Supported by thy care;

Thro' burning climes they pass unhurt,
And breathe in tainted air.

e 3 When by the dreadful tempest borne;
High on the broken wave,

o They know thou art not slow to hear, Nor impotent to save.

-4 The storm is laid-the winds retire,
Obedient to thy will:

The sea that roars at thy command,
At thy command is still,

e 5 In 'midst of dangers, fears, and deaths, Thy goodness we'll adore;

[ocr errors]

We'll praise thee for thy mercies past;
And humbly hope for more.

-6 Our life, while thou preserv'st that life,
Thy sacrifice shall be;

And death, when death shall be our lot,
Shall join our souls to thee.

HYMN 95. C. M. Pleyel's. [*]
Confidence and joy in God. Hab. iii, 17,18.
LTHO' the vine its fruit deny,
Altho' the olive yield no oil;

The with'ring fig-tree droop and die,
The field delude the tiller's toil;-
2 Altho' the stall no herd afford,
P And perish all the bleating race;
o Yet will I triumph in the Lord,

S

[ocr errors]

The God of my salvation praise. e 3 Tho' comfortless my soul remain, And not a gleam of light appear; a Tho' joy be sought, and sought in vain, And tho' despair itself be near;— p 4 Altho' assurance all be lost, And blooming hopes cut off I see; o Yet will I in my Saviour trust,

And glory that he died for me.

HYMN 96. C. M. Zion. [*]

Christ the Believer's Song.
HOU dear Redeemer, dying Lamb,
We love to hear of thee;

-No musick's like thy charming name,
Nor half so sweet can be.

e 2 O may we ever hear thy voice,
In mercy to us speak;

And in our Priest will we rejoice,
Thou great Melchisedeck.

-3 Our Jesus shall be still our theme,
While in this world we stay;

o We'll sing our Jesus' lovely name, When all things else decay.
