2 Ye souls that are wounded, To Jesus repair;

He calls you in mercy,

And can you forbear?

Though your sins be as scarlet,
Still flee to the mountain,

That blood can remove them

Which streams from this fountain.
Hallelujah, etc.

3 O Jesus! ride onward,

Triumphantly glorious;

O'er sin, death, and hell

Thou'rt more than victorious;

Thy name is the theme

Of the great congregation,

While angels and saints

Raise the shout of salvation.

Hallelujah, etc.

4 With joy shall we stand

When escaped to that shore;

With our harps in our hand

We will praise him the more;

We'll range the sweet fields

On the banks of the river,

And sing of salvation

For ever and ever.

385 "Unto him that loved us, and washed us from [C. M. our sins in his own blood, and hath made us

kings and priests unto God and his Father;
to him be glory and dominion for ever and
ever."

NOW

OW to the Lamb that once was slain
Be endless blessings paid;

Salvation, glory, joy remain

For ever on his head!

2 Thou hast redeem'd our souls with blood,
Hast set the prisoners free,

Hast made us kings and priests to God,
And we shall reign with thee.

386

X. THE CHRISTIAN LIFE.

REPENTANCE.

"If any man sin, we have an advocate with
the Father."

THOU that hear'st when sinners cry,
Though all my crimes before thee lie,

Behold them not with angry look,
But blot their memory from thy book.

2 Create my nature pure within,
And form my soul averse to sin;
Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart,

[L. M.

3

I cannot live without thy light,
Cast out and banish'd from thy sight:
Thy holy joys, my God, restore,
And guard me that I fall no more.

4 A broken heart, my God, my King,
Is all the sacrifice I bring;

། The God of grace will ne'er despise
A broken heart for sacrifice.

5 O may thy love inspire my tongue!
Salvation shall be all my song:

And all my powers shall join to bless
The Lord, my strength and righteousness.

387 "Take not thy Holy Spirit from me."

STAY, thou long-suffering Spirit, stay,

[L. M.

Though I have done thee such despite;
Nor cast the sinner quite away,
Nor take thine everlasting flight.

2 Though I have most unfaithful been,
And long in vain thy grace received;
Ten thousand times thy goodness seen,
Ten thousand times thy goodness grieved;

3 Yet O the mourning sinner spare,

In honour of my great High-priest;
Nor in thy righteous anger swear
T'exclude me from thy people's rest.

4 My weary soul, O God, release;
Uphold me with thy gracious hand;
Guide me into thy perfect peace,

"Him that cometh to me, I will in no wise

cast out."

JESUS, Saviour of the lost,
My rock and hiding-place,

By storms of sin and sorrow toss'd,
I seek thy sheltering grace.

2 Guilty, forgive me, Lord, I cry;
Pursued by foes, I come;

A sinner, save me, or I die;
An outcast, take me home.

3 Once safe in thine almighty arms,
Let storms come on amain;
There danger never, never harms;
There death itself is gain.

4 And when I stand before thy throne,
And all thy glory see,
Still be my righteousness alone
To hide myself in thee.

"God be merciful to me, a sinner.”

THAT load of sin were gone,
my

O that I could at last submit

At Jesus' feet to lay it down,
To lay my soul at Jesus' feet!

2 Rest for my soul I long to find;

Saviour of all, if mine thou art,
Give me thy meek and lowly miņd,

And stamp thine image on my heart

[C. M

[L. M

3 Break off the yoke of inbred sin,
And fully set my spirit free;

I cannot rest till pure within,

Till I am wholly lost in thee.

4 Fain would I learn of thee, my God;
The light and easy burden prove,
The cross, all stain'd with hallow'd blood,
The labour of thy dying love.

5 I would, but thou must give the power,
My heart from every sin release;
Bring near, bring near the joyful hour,
And fill me with thy perfect peace.

FAITH.

390

"If God be for us, who can be against us.”

OLET triumphant faith dispel

The fears of guilt and woe:
If God be for us, God the Lord,
Who, who shall be our foe?

2 He who his only Son gave up
To death, that we might live,
Shall he not all things freely grant
That boundless love can give?

3 Who now his people shall accuse?
"Tis God hath justified;

[C. M.
