Let all our works in Thee be wrought,
And filled with Thee be all our thought,
Till in us Thy full likeness shine.

WFountain of life and grace!

E sing to Thee, Thou Son of God,

We praise Thee, Son of Man, whose blood
Redeemed our fallen race.

2 Thee we acknowledge God and Lord,
The Lamb for sinners slain;
Who art by heaven and earth adored,
Worthy o'er both to reign.

3 To Thee all angels cry aloud,

Through heaven's extended coasts:-
Hail! holy, holy, holy Lord

Of glory, and of hosts.

4 The cherubim and seraphim
Incessant sing to Thee;

The worlds and all the powers therein
Adore Thy majesty.

5 The prophets' goodly fellowship,
In radiant garments drest,

Praise Thee, Thou Son of God, and reap
The fulness of Thy rest.

6 The apostles' glorious company

Thy righteous praise proclaim:
The martyred army glorify

Thine everlasting Name.

7 Through all the world, Thy churches join To call on Thee their Head, Brightness of Majesty Divine,

Who every power hast made.

8 Among their number, Lord, we love
To sing Thy precious blood:
Reign here, and in the worlds above,
Thou holy Lamb of God!

ARISE, my soul, arise,

Thy Saviour's sacrifice!

C. WESLEY.

All the names that love could find,
All the forms that love could take,
Jesus in Himself hath joined,

Thee, my soul, His own to make.
Equal with God, Most High,
He laid His glory by;

He, the' eternal God, was born,

Man with men He deigned to' appear,

Object of His creature's scorn,

Pleased a servant's form to wear.

3 Hail! everlasting Lord,

5

Divine, incarnate Word!

Thee, let all my powers confess;
Thee, my latest breath proclaim;
Help, ye angel-choirs, to bless,

Shout the loved Immanuel's name!
Fruit of a virgin's womb,

The promised Blessing's come;
Christ, the fathers' hope of old,

Christ, the woman's conquering Seed,

Christ, the Saviour! long foretold,
Born to bruise the serpent's head.
Jesus, to Thee, I bow!

The Almighty's Fellow, Thou!
Thou, the Father's only Son;
Pleased He ever is in Thee;

Just and holy Thou alone,

Full of grace and truth for me.

IGH above every name,

HIG Jesus, the Great I AM!

Bows to Jesus every knee,

C. WESLEY.

Things in heaven, and earth, and hell; Saints adore Him, demons flee,

Fiends, and men, and angels feel!

Emptied of all, but love;

Whom the heavens cannnot contain,
God, vouchsafed a worm to' appear,
Lord of Glory, Son of Man,

Poor, and vile, and abject here.
His own on earth He sought,
His own received Him not;
Him, a sign by all blasphemed,
Outcast, and despised of men;
Him, they all a madman deemed,
Bold to scoff the Nazarene.
Hail, Galilean King!
Thy humble state I sing;

Never shall my triumphs end;
Hail, derided Majesty!

Jesus, hail! the sinner's Friend,
Friend of publicans,—and me.

INFINITE, unexhausted Love!

(Jesus and Love are one :) If still to me Thy bowels move, They are restrained to none.

2 What shall I do my God to love!

My loving God to praise!

C. WESLEY.

[prove,

The length, and breadth, and height to And depth of sovereign grace!

3 Thy sovereign grace to all extends, Immense and unconfined;

From age to age it never ends;

It reaches all mankind.

4 Throughout the world its breadth is known, Wide as infinity!

So wide, it never passed by one,

Or it had passed by me.

5 My trespass was grown up to heaven;
But far above the skies,

In Christ abundantly forgiven,
I see Thy mercies rise!"

6 The depth of all redeeming love,
What angel-tongue can tell!
O may I to the utmost prove
The gift unspeakable!

7 Deeper than hell, it plucked me thence; Deeper than inbred sin,

Jesus's love my heart shall cleanse,
When Jesus enters in.

8 Come quickly, gracious Lord, and take
Possession of Thine own;

My longing heart vouchsafe to make
Thine everlasting throne!

9 Assert Thy claim, maintain Thy right,
Come quickly from above;

And sink me to perfection's height,
The depth of humble love.

Psalm cxxxviii.

C. WESLEY.

ALL thanks and all praise

To Thee will I give,

O Lord, by whose grace
Accepted I live;

My heart shall adore Thee,
My mouth shall show forth
Thine honour and glory
To gods of the earth.
2 Thy mercy, and love,
And truth I proclaim;
With angels above,

I hallow Thy Name;
And turning me toward
The holiest place,
Thee, Father, adored,
In Jesus I praise.

3 For Thou hast revealed
Thy nature unknown,
Thy promise fulfilled
In Jesus Thy Son;

Exalted the Saviour And Friend of mankind, That all in His favour Thy mercy may find. 4 When burdened, I cried For pardon to Thee, Thy mercy replied,

And bade me be free: Thy Spirit, that hour, Came down from above, And clothed me with power, And filled me with love. 5 The kings of the earth, Thee, Jesus, shall praise, And trust in Thy worth, And honour Thy grace! Shall gladly adore Thee, Whose sayings they hear, And sing to Thy glory, And walk in Thy fear.

6 For Jesus the Lord, Though lofty and high, By angels adored,

Looks down from the sky: Who hates the unholy, And scatters the proud, He lifts up the lowly, And brings them to God. 7 Although in distress, I labour and strive: Thy comfort and peace My soul shall revive; Thine arm shall deliver, Whom now it secures; Thy mercy for ever And ever endures.
