Son, be of good cheer, thy sins be forgiven thee.-MATT. ix. 2.

ORGIVENESS! 'tis a joyful sound rebel sinners doomed to die; Publish the bliss the world around: Ye seraphs, shout it from the sky. mf 2 "Tis the rich gift of love divine:

"Tis full, out-measuring every crime:
Unclouded shall its glories shine,
And feel no change by changing time.

3 O'er sins, unnumbered as the sand,
And like the mountains for their size,
The seas of sovereign grace expand,
The seas of sovereign grace arise.

4 For this stupendous love of heaven,
What grateful honour shall we show?
Where much transgression is forgiven,
Let love with equal ardour glow.

Who is a God like unto Thee, that pardoneth iniquity?-MICAH Vii. 18.

Are matchless, godlike, and divine;

But the fair glories of Thy grace

More godlike and unrivalled shine:
Who is a pardoning God like Thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free?

f 40 may this strange, this wondrous grace,
This matchless miracle of love,
Fill the wide earth with grateful praise
And all the angelic choirs above:
Who is a pardoning God like Thee?

Or who has grace so rich and free?

Then shall I know even as also I am known.-1 COR. xiii. 12.

When I stand with Christ on high,
Looking o'er life's history,

Then, Lord, shall I fully know,
Not till then, how much I owe.

2 When I stand before the throne,
Dressed in beauty not my own,
When I see Thee as Thou art,
Love Thee with unsinning heart,

Then, Lord, shall I fully know,
Not till then, how much I owe.

f 3 When the praise of heaven I hear,
Loud as thunders to the ear,
Loud as many waters' noise,
Sweet as harp's melodious voice,
Then, Lord, shall I fully know,
Not till then, how much I owe..
