3 Slaves that have borne the heavy chain Of sin and hell's tyrannic reign, the great Redeemer's name. 4 The rich inheritance you lost, Restor'd, improv’d, you now may boast; Fair Salem your arrival waits, Bondage and poverty deplore; Whose joy still rises with the debt. God's light shall all their steps surround; 152. A spectacle of wo! The blood incessant flow, 2 Till death's pale ensigns o'er his cheek And trembling lips were spread; And life his drooping head. These sacred accents o'er, And suffer'd pain no more. For sins, but not his own; And Satan's power o'erthrown. 5 'Tis finish'd-all his groans are past; His blood, his pain, and toils, And crown’d him with our spoils. 6 'Tis finish'd-legal worship ends, And gospel ages run; 153. P.M.- The Cross of Christ. 1 IN the Cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time, Gathers round its head sublime. 2 When the woes of life o'ertake me, Hopes deceive and fears annoy, Lo! it glows with peace and joy. 3 When the sun of bliss is beaming Light and love upon my way; Adds more lustre to the day. 4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, By the Cross are sanctified; Joys that through all time abide. 5 In the Cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time, Gathers round its head sublime. 154. Streams of living water flow, That supplies the world below; They are blessed Who its sovereign virtues know. 2 Through ten thousand channels flowing, Streams of mercy find their way, Life, and health, and joy bestowing, Making all around look gay; O ye nations! All-enriching as it goes, Every object Yield their fruit to all around; Fair their portion, 155. P.M.-A Fountain opened for sin and uncleanness. Zech. xiii. 1. 1 COME to Calvary's holy mountain, Sinners ruin’d by the fall; Flows to you, to me, to all, Open'd when the Saviour died. Come, defiled without, within; From the leprosy of sin, 3 Come, in sorrow and contrition, Wounded, impotent, and blind; Here the troubled peace may find; He that drinks shall thirst no more. 4 He that drinks shall live for ever; 'Tis a soul-renewing flood : Break his covenant in blood, 156. Come, and make my paths your choice; Weary pilgrim, hither.come. Long hast borne the proud world's scorn, Weary pilgrim, hither haste. 3 Ye, who tost on beds of pain, Seek for ease, but seek in vain; Watch to see the morning rise. 4 Ye, by fiercer anguish torn, In strong remorse for guilt who mourn, A wounded spirit who can bear? 5 Sinner come, for here is found Balm that flows for every wound! 157. L.M.-Jesus teaching the People. 1 HOW sweetly flow'd the gospel's sound, From lips of gentleness and grace, When listening thousands gather'd round, And joy and reverence fill'd the place! 2 From heaven he came, of heaven he spoke, To heaven he led his followers way; Unveiling an immortal day. 3 “ Come, wanderers, to my Father's home, Come all ye weary ones and rest!" Obey thee, love thee, and be blest. 4 Decay then, tenements of dust! Pillars of earthly pride decay! 158. C.M.- None excluded from hope. Nor is thy gospel weak; And heal the dying Greek. Doth thy salvation flow; The lofty or the low. The poor may take their share: To perish in despair. Nor boast your native powers, But to his sovereign grace submit, And glory shall be yours, , |
