Forgive them, Father, O forgive, They know not that by me they live!" 2 Jesus descended from above, Our loss of Eden to retrieve; If all the world through thee may live, Thy bloody sweat, thy grief and shame, 4 O let me kiss thy bleeding feet, And bathe and wash them with my tears; The story of thy love repeat In every drooping sinner's ears; That all may hear the quick'ning sound 5 O let thy love my heart constrain, ; May taste the grace that found out me; That all mankind with me may prove Thy sovereign, everlasting love. 200 Kilburn-p.271.] 11th P.M. 76,76,77,76. GOD of unexampled grace, Redeemer of mankind, Matter of eternal praise We in thy passion find: Still our choicest strains we bring, Still the joyful theme pursue, Thee, the Friend of sinners, sing, Whose love is ever new. 2 Endless scenes of wonder rise, Where we our Maker see: 3 Never love nor sorrow was Now his heavenly birth declare! THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD. 201 Archdale-p. 6.] FA C. M. ATHER, how wide thy glory shines! Known through the earth by thousand signs, By thousands through the skies: Those mighty orbs proclaim thy power; Their motions speak thy skill; And on the wings of every hour 2 Part of thy name divinely stands They show the labour of thy hands, But when we view thy strange design Where vengeance and compassion join 3 Here the whole Deity is known, 4 O may I bear some humble part Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, To save a world of sinners lost, 202 Roberts-p. 158.] 1st P.

Was nature's God displeased with thee? The rock into a fountain flows: And all things, as they change, proclaim, 203 Coronation-p. 28.] C. M. ETERNAL Wisdom! thee we praise, Thee the creation sings: With thy loved name, rocks, hills, and seas, And heaven's high palace, rings. 2 Thy hand, how wide it spreads the sky, How glorious to behold! Tinged with a blue of heavenly die, And starr'd with sparkling gold. 3 There thou hast bid the globes of light There the pale planet rules the night; 4 If down I turn my wond'ring eyes 5 The noisy winds stand ready there, With sounding wings they sweep the air, 6 There, like a trumpet loud and strong, 7 On the thin air, without a prop, 8 Lo! here thy wondrous skill arrays 9 There the rough mountains of the deep Obey thy strong command; Thy breath can raise the billows steep, 10 Thy glories blaze all nature round, 11 Infinite strength and equal skill Our softer passions move: Pity divine in Jesus' face, We see, adore, and love. 204 Majesty p. 49.] C.
