Millions more Thou ready art
To save, and to forgive!
Every soul and every heart

Of man Thou would'st receive :
Father, now accept of mine,
Which now, through Christ, I offer Thee;
Tell me now, in love divine,

That Thou hast pardoned me!

THO

HOU, O Lord God, art full of grace:
Above the clouds Thy mercies rise;
Steadfast Thy truth and faithfulness,
Thy word of promise never dies;
Nor earth can shake, nor hell remove,
The base of Thine eternal love.

2 Unsearchable Thy judgments are,
A boundless, bottomless abyss !
But, lo! Thy providential care

O'er all Thy works extended is;
In Thee the creatures live and move,
And are all glory to Thy love!

3 Thy love sustains the world it made ;
Thy love preserves both man and beast;
Beneath Thy wing's almighty shade
The sons of men securely rest;
And those who haunt the hallowed place,
Shall banquet on Thy richest grace.

4 Their souls shall drink the crystal stream,
Which ever issues from Thy throne;
Fountain of joy and bliss supreme,
Eternal life and Thou art one;

To us, to all so freely given,

The light of life, the heaven of heaven!

116

MY soul, with all thy powers,
Bless the Lord's most holy name !
O my soul, till life's last hours,

Bless the Lord, His praise proclaim!
As the heaven the earth transcends,
Over us His care extends.

2 He with lovingkindness crowned thee,
Satisfied thy mouth with good;
From the snares of death unbound thee,
Eagle-like thy youth renewed!
Rich in tender mercy He,

Slow to wrath, to favour free.

3 Far as east and west are parted,
He our sins hath severed thus.
As a father, loving-hearted,
Spares his son, He spareth us;
For He knows our feeble frame,
He remembers whence we came.

4 From eternity, enduring
To eternity, the Lord,

117

Still His people's bliss ensuring,
Keeps His covenanted word;
Yea, with truth and righteousness,
Children's children He will bless.

THY goodness, Lord, our souls confess,

Thy goodness we adore :

A spring, whose blessings never fail,
A sea without a shore.

2 Sun, moon, and stars Thy love attest,
In every cheerful ray:

Love draws the curtains of the night,
And love restores the day.

3 Thy bounty every season crowns,
With all the bliss it yields;
With joyful clusters bend the vines,
With harvests wave the fields.

4 But chiefly Thy compassions, Lord,
Are in the Gospel seen :

There, like the sun, Thy mercy shines,
Without a cloud between.

5 Thy Son, Thy noblest, choicest gift,
Was from Thy bosom sent,
To bear from off a sinking world
Its load of punishment.

6 Ours is the life, the glory ours,

118

And His the death and shame ;
Pardon, acceptance, peace, and joy,
Are published in His name.

C. WESLEY. 1762.

YREAT God! to me the sight afford,
To him of old allow'd ;

G1

And let my faith behold its Lord
Descending in the cloud.

2 In that revealing Spirit come down,
Thine attributes proclaim,

And to mine inmost soul make known
The glories of Thy name.

3 Jehovah, Christ, I Thee adore,
Who gav'st my soul to be!
Fountain of being, and of power,
And great in majesty.

4 The Lord, the mighty God, Thou art ;
But let me rather prove

That name in-spoken to my heart,
That favourite name of Love.

5 Merciful God, Thyself proclaim
In this polluted breast;
