What a dear SAVIOUR I have found;
I'll point to thy redeeming blood,
And fay, "Behold the way to GOD."

LORY be to GOD on high,
GOD whofe glory fills the fky;

Peace on earth to man forgiv'n,

Man, the well belov'd of heav'n.

CHRIST OUR LORD and GOD we own,
CHRIST the FATHER's only Son,
LAMB of GOD for finners flain,
SAVIOUR of offending man.

Bow thine ear, in mercy bow,
Hear, the world's atonement thou,

JESU' in thy name we pray,

Take, O take, our fins away.

IV.

Pow'rful advocate with GoD,

Juftify us by thy blood ;

Bow thine ear, in mercy bow,
Hear the world's atonement thou.

HYM N XXXVI,
Pfalm xxiii. John x. 11.

'HE LORD my pasture shall prepare,

THE
Tand feed me with a fhepherd's care,

His prefence fhall my wants fupply;
And guard me with a watchful eye;
My noon-day walks he fhall attend,
And all my midnight hours defend.

II.

When in the fultry glebe I faint,
Or on the thirsty mountain pant,
To fertile vales and dewy meads
My weary wand'ring fteps he leads
Where peaceful rivers, foft and flow,
Amid the verdant landskip flow.

III.

Though in the paths of death I tread,
With gloomy horrors overfpread,
My ftedfaft heart fhall fear no ill,
For thou O LORD, art with me still;
Thy friendly crook fhall give me aid,
And guide me through the dreadful fhade.
IV.

Tho' in a bare and rugged way,
Thro' devious lonely wilds I ftray,
Thy bounty fhall my pains beguile,
The barren wilderness fhall fmile,
With fudden greens and herbage crown'd,
And ftreams fhall murmer all around.

Lamentations i. 22.

I.

・ALL ye that pafs by,

To Jefus draw nigh,

you is it nothing that Jefus fhould die? Your ransom and peace,

Your furety he is;

Come fee if there ever was forrow like his.

II.

For what ye have done

His blood must atone,

The Father hath punifh'd for you his dear Son:

The Lord, in the day

Of his anger, did lay

Our fins on the Lamb and he bore them away.

III.

For you and for me

He pray'd on the tree,

The pray'r is accepted, the finner is free;

The finner am I,

Who on Jefus rely,

And come for the pardon God cannot deny、

IV.

My pardon I claim,

For a finner I am,

A finner believing in Jefus's name ;

He purchas'd the grace,

Which now I embrace,

O Father, thou know'ft he hath dy'd in my

place.

ESUS, the all-atoning Lamb,
Lover of loft mankind,

Salvation in whofe only name

A finful world can find :

II.

We ask thy grace to make us clean,
We come to thee, our God;
Open, O Lord, for this day's fin,
The fountain of thy blood.
III.

Hither our spotted fouls be brought,
And ev'ry idle word,

And ev'ry work, and ev'ry thought,
That hath not pleas'd our Lord.

Hither our actions, righteous deem'd,
By man, and counted good,
As filthy rags by GoD esteem'd,
'Till sprinkled with thy blood.

I.

ORLD adieu! thou real cheat,
Oft have thy deceitful charms

Fill'd my heart with fond conceit,
Foolish hopes, and falfe alarms;
Now I fee, as clear as day,
How thy follies pass away.

II.

Vain thy entertaining fights,
Falfe thy promises renew❜d,
All the pomp of thy delights
Does but flatter and delude:
Thee I quit, for heav'n above,
Object of the nobleft love.

III.

Farewell honour's empty pride,
Thy own nice, uncertain guft,
If the leaft mifchance betide,
Lays thee lower than the duft:
Worldly honours end in gall,
Rife to-day-to morrow fall.

LORD!
