5 I'll speak the honours of thy name, 1 B Lamb of God, &c. John i. 29. EHOLD the sin-atoning Lamb, With wonder, gratitude, and love'; To take away our guilt and shame, See him descending from above. 2 Our sins and griefs on him were laid; He meekly bore the mighty load; Our ransom-price he fully paid, In groans and tears, in sweat and blood. 3 To save his guilty church, he dies; Mourners, behold the bleeding Lamb! To him lift up your longing eyes, And hope for mercy in his name. 4 Pardon and peace thro' him abound; He can the richest blessings give; Salvation in his name is found, He bids the dying sinner live. 5 Jesus, my Lord, I look to thee; Where else can helpless sinners go? Thy boundless love shall set me free From all my wretchedness and woe. 1 LEADER. CVII. S. M. J. C. W. HOU very Pascal Lamb, Those blood for us was shed, Through whom we out of Egypt came'; Thy ransom'd people lead." 2 Angel of gospel-grace! Fulfil thy character, To guard and feed the chosen race, 3 Throughout the desert-way Conduct us by thy light, Be thou a cooling cloud by day, 4 Our fainting souls sustain 1 And ever on thy people rain MESSENGER. CVIII. C. M. Rippon's Selec. Matt. iii. 1. JESUS, commission'd from above, Descends to men below, And shows from whence the springs of love, 2 He, whom the boundless heav'n adores, Quitted with joy those blissful shores, 3. To me a worm, a sinful clod, A foe, a traitor to my God, And of a traitor born; 4 To me, who never sought his grace, 5 To me who could not even praise, 6 Yet this redeeming angel came, He took with gladness all my blame, 7 O! that my languid heart might glow 1 And for more love than seraphs know, MESSIAH. CIX. E M. Needham. Messiah. Gen. xlix. 10. Dan. ix. 26. Hag. ii. 9. LORY to God, who reigns above, G Who dwells in light, whose name is love; Ye saints and angels, if you can, Declare the love of God to man. 2 O what can more his love commend His dear, his only Son to send ! That man, condemn'd to die, might live, 3 Messiah's come-with joy behold 1 Y Pearl of great price. Mat. xiii. 46. 2 Begone, unworthy of my cares, Wealth, honour, pleasure meet. 4 Should both the Indies, at my call, 5 Should earth's vain treasures all depart, Of this dear gift possess'd, I'd clasp it to my joyful heart, 6 Dear sov'reign of my soul's desires, 1 Accept the wish that love inspires, PHYSICIAN ; OR THE MIRACLES OF DE CHRIST. CXI. L. M. Physician of souls. Steele. Jer. viii. 22. EEP are the wounds which sin hath made Where shall the sinner find a cure? In vain, alas, is nature's aid The work exceeds all nature's pow'r. Can ease thy pain and heal thy woe. 1 CXII. C. M. Great Milton turre! Physician; or, the Miracles of Christ JESUS, since thou art still to-day As yesterday the same; Present to heal, in me display 2 Since still thou go'st about to do On me, that I thy praise may show, LEPER. Now, Lord, to whom for help I cali, With pitying eye behold me fall, A leper at thy feet. 4 Loathsome, and vile, and self-abhorr'd, But if thou wilt, a gracious word DEAF AND DUMB. 5 Thou seest me deaf to thy commands, Bid me stretch out my withered hands, 6 Silent, (alas! thou know'st how long) But O! when thou shalt loose my tongue, LAME. 7 Lame at the pool I still am seen, 8 0 speak my mind, my conscience sound, BLIND. 9 If thou, my God, art passing by, 10 See, I am waiting in the way, POSSESSED. 11 Cast out thy foes, and let them still To thy great name submit ; Clothe with thy righteousness, and heal, 12 From sin, the guilt, the power, the pain, |
