Holy Jesu, grant us tears, Lord, on us Thy Spirit pour, By Thy night of agony, By Thy tears of bitter woe Let us not Thy love forego. Judge and Saviour of our race, Amen. "In Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins." 67 WEARY of earth, and laden with my sin, 66 So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand Before the whiteness of that Throne appear ? near. The while I fain would tread the heavenly way, Evil is ever with me, day by day; Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall, 66 Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all." It is the voice of Jesus that I hear, His are the Hands stretched out to draw me near, And His the Blood that can for all atone, And set me faultless there before the Throne. "Twas He Who found me on the deathly wild, And made me heir of heaven, the Father's child, And day by day, whereby my soul may live, Gives me His grace of pardon, and will give. Yea, thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord: Thine all the merits, mine the great reward; Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown, Mine the life won, and Thine the life laid down. Amen. "Whom resist, steadfast in the faith." How the troops of Midian Christian, up and smite them, Smite them by the merit Christian, never tremble; Christian, dost thou hear them, "Well I know thy trouble, But that toil shall make thee Some day all Mine own, And the end of sorrow Shall be near My Throne." Amen. "Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou hast perfected praise." 72 ALL glory, laud, and honour, Thou art the King of Israel, 1 All glory, etc. The company of angels Are praising Thee on high; All glory, etc. The people of the Hebrews With palms before Thee went: All glory, etc. To Thee before Thy Passion They sang their hymns of praise: To Thee, now high exalted, Our melody we raise. All glory, etc. Thou didst accept their praises; Accept the prayers we bring, Who in all good delightest, All glory, etc. Amen. "The precious blood of Christ." 74 GLORY be to Jesus, Who in bitter pains Poured for me the life-blood In that blood I find; Blest through endless ages Oft as earth exulting Praise the precious Blood. Amen. |
