7 Freely we are sav'd by grace : 8 Praises still to Christ we sing ; Glory is begun below. HYMN 4. L. M. FROM all that dwell below the skies 2 Eternal are thy mercies, Lord; Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore, HYMN 5. C. M. FATHER of mercies, in thy word What endless glory shines! or ever be thy name ador'd For these celestial lines. 2 iere, may the wretched sons of want Exhaustless riches find; Riches, above what earth can grant, 3 Tre, the fair tree of knowledge grows, M Sublimer sweets than nature knows 4 Here, the Redeemer's welcome voice Spreads heav'nly peace around; And life and everlasting joys Attend the blisful sound. 5 O may these heav'nly pages be 6 Divine Instructor, gracious Lord! HYMN 6. C. M. How precious is the book divine, 2 It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts 3 This lamp, through all the tedious nigh: Of life, shall guide our way, Till we behold the clearer light Of an eternal day. HYMN 7. P. M. ISRAEL, in ancient days, But learn'd the gospel too : The types and figures were a glass. 2 The Paschal sacrifice, And blood-besprinkled door, And once apply'd with pow'r, Would teach the need of other blood To reconcile an angry God. 3 The lamb, the dove, set forth For he, who can for sin atone, 4 Dipt in his fellow's blood, Describ❜d a guilty soul enlarg'd, 5 Jesus, I love to trace, Throughout the sacred page, O grant that I may faithful be To clearer light, vouchsaf'd to me. HYMN 8. P. M. PART FIRST. THE Bible is justly esteem'd The glory supreme of the land, Which shows how a sinner's redeem'd And brought to Jehovah's right hand. With pleasure we freely confess The Bible all books does outshine; But Jesus, his person and grace, Affords it that lustre divine. 2 In evity prophetical book, Where God his decrees hath unseal'd, With joy we behold as we look, The wonderful Saviour reveal'd: His glories project to the eye, 3 The first gracious promise to man PART SECOND. 4 The Ancient Levitica Lew Was prophecy after its kind; In types there the faitaful foresaw The Saviour that ransom'd mankind. The altar, the lamb, and the priest, 5 Review each prophetical song, Which shines in prediction's rich train, The sweetest to Jesus belong, And point out his suff'rings and reign : Sure David his harp never strung With more of true sacred delight, Than when of the Saviour he sung, And he was reveal'd to his sight. 6 May Jesus more precious become :: HYMN 9. C. M. To our almighty Maker, God, New honours be address'd; 2 He spake the word to Abr'am first, His truth fulfils his grace; The Gentiles make his name their trust, And learn his righteousness. |
