PENITENTIA. 10.

EDWARD DEARLE (1806- ),

1. Weary of earth and la-den with my sin, I look to Heav'n and long to enter in,

2 So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand

In the pure glory of that holy land?

Before the whiteness of that throne appear?

Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near;

3 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.

4 '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.

5 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.

3 God calling yet! and shall I give
No heed, but still in bondage live?
I wait, but He does not forsake;
He calls me still; my heart, awake!
4 God calling yet! I cannot stay;
My heart I yield without delay:
Vain world, farewell, from thee I part;
The voice of God hath reached my heart.

A contrite Heart. Ps. li.

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.

2 My soul lies humbled in the dust,

And owns Thy dreadful sentence just; Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, And save the soul condemned to die. 3 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. Rev. Isaac Watts, 1719. Ab. and alt,

Prophet, Priest, and King.

2 Great Prophet of my God,
My tongue would bless Thy Name;
By Thee the joyful news

Of our salvation came:
The joyful news of sins forgiven,

Of hell subdued, and peace with Heaven.

3 Jesus, my great High Priest,

Offered His blood and died;
My guilty conscience seeks
No sacrifice beside:

His powerful blood did once atone,
And now it pleads before the throne.

4 My dear Almighty Lord,

My Conqueror and my King,
Thy sceptre and Thy sword,
Thy reigning grace I sing:
Thine is the power; behold, I sit,
In willing bonds, bencath Thy feet.

Is. liii. 5.

Rev. Isaac Watts (1674-1748), 1709. Ab. 223 "Wounded for our Transgressions." 1 THY works, not mine, O Christ, Speak gladness to this heart;

They tell me all is done;

They bid my fear depart:

To whom save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?

2 Thy wounds, not mine, O Christ,
Can heal my bruised soul;
Thy stripes, not mine, contain

The balm that makes me whole:
To whom save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?

3 Thy cross, not mine, O Christ, Has borne the awful load Of sins that none in Heaven

Or earth could bear but God:
To whom save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
4 Thy death, not mine, O Christ,
Has paid the ransom due;
Ten thousand deaths like mine

Would have been all too few:
To whom save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?

Rev. Horatius Bonar (1808

), 1857. Ab.
