3-God raised Him up, when He for all
Had freely tasted death,

And had redeem'd us from the fall;
On this we ground our faith:
For God, well pleased, that sacrifice
Declared, in sovereign grace,
An all-sufficient ransom-price
For Adam's fallen race.

4—The God of peace to guilty man
Doth pardoning grace afford,
Since from the dead He brought again
Our Shepherd, Head, and Lord :—
That Shepherd who did freely bleed,
Lost sinners to restore,

Who died, but now is risen indeed,
And lives for evermore.

5-The God of mercies let us praise,

Who saveth fallen men:

Who by His power, which Christ did raise,
Begets His saints again

Unto a lively confidence,
That they for Jesus' sake,
Shall of the blest inheritance
Reserved for them partake.

6-His resurrection's power divine,
By grace on us bestowed,
Renews us, that we, dead to sin,
May live alone to God.

Thus we, supported by His might,
From strength to strength proceed,
And walking in His truth and light;
Praise Him in word and deed.

7-In all we do constrain'd by love,
We'll joy to Him afford,

And to God's will obedient prove
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.-
Sing Hallelujah, and adore

On earth the Lamb once slain,
Till we in heaven shall evermore

Exalt His name.

Amen.

Ephes. iii. 17.

1-Lord, take my heart just as it is, Set up therein Thy throne;

So shall I love Thee above all,

And live to Thee alone.

C.M.

2-I thank Thee, that in mercy Thou
Hast waken'd me from death,
Arous'd me out of sin's deep sleep,
And call'd to walk by faith.

3-Complete Thy work and crown Thy grace, That I may faithful prove,

And listen to that still small voice,
Which whispers only love :-

4-Which teaches me to know Thy will,
And gives me power to do;

Which fills my heart with shame when I
Do not that will pursue.

5-This unction may I ever feel,
This teaching of my Lord,

And learn obedience to Thy voice,
Thy soft reviving word.

1-Now I have found a Friend,
Whose love shall never end,-
Jesus is mine.

Though earthly joys decrease,
Though human friendships cease,
Now I have lasting peace ;-
Jesus is mine.

P.M.

2-Though I grow poor and old,
He will my faith uphold,—
Jesus is mine.

He shall my wants supply,
His precious blood is nigh,
Nought can my hope destroy,-
Jesus is mine.

3-When earth shall pass away, In the great judgment day,— Jesus is mine,

Oh! what a glorious thing,

Then to behold my King,

On tuneful harps to sing,

Jesus is mine.

4-Farewell mortality! Welcome eternity!

Jesus is mine.

He my redemption is,

Wisdom and righteousness,

Life, light, and holiness:

Jesus is mine.

5-Father! Thy name I bless,
Thine was the sovereign grace;

Praise shall be Thine.

Spirit of holiness,

Sealing the Father's grace,

Thou mad'st my soul embrace

Jesus as mine.

Psalm xlvi. 1, 2, 3.

7's.

1-When the nations toss and roar,
Like the billows on the shore,

When their chains the people break,
Leaders tremble, monarchs quake;
Midst the roaring of the sea,
Christ, our hope is all in Thee!

2-When the nations are at peace,
And the sounds of conflict cease;
When each port is choked with wares,
And each field its harvest bears;
Mid the world's prosperity,

Christ, our hope is all in Thee!
