WATTS'S HYMNS ABRIDGED.

BOOK I.

COLLECTED FROM THE HOLY SCRIPTURES.

HYMN 1. C. M.

A New Song to the Lamb that was slain. Rev. v, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12.

EHOLD the glories of the Lamb, Amidst his Father's throne: Prepare new honours for his name, And songs, before unknown.

e 2 Let Elders worship at his feet, The church adore around; With vials full of odours sweet,

And harps of sweeter sound.

-3 Those are the pray'rs of all the saints, And these the hymns they raise:

e Jesus is kind to our complaints,
He loves to hear our praise.
4-5

$6 Now to the Lamb, that once was slain,
Be endless blessings paid;
Salvation, glory, joy, remain,
Forever, on thy head.

d 7 Thou hast redeem'd our souls with
Hast set the pris'ners free; [blood,
Hast made us kings and priests to God,
And we shall reign with thee!

8 The worlds of nature and of grace
Are put beneath thy pow'r;
Then shorten these delaying days;
And bring the promis'd hour.
DEVIZES. ST. ASAPH'S.

2By his own pow'r were all things made,

By him supported all things stand;
He is the whole creation's head,
And angels fly at his command.
За

p 4But lo he leaves those heav'nly forms-
The Word descends and dwells in clay;
That he may hold converse with worms,
Dress'd in such feeble flesh as they.

o 5 Mortals with joy beheld his face,
Th' eternal Father's only Son;
e How full of truth! how full of grace!
When thro' his eyes the Godhead shone?

g 6 Archangels leave their high abode,
To learn new myst'ries here, and tell,
The love of our descending God,
The glories of Immanuel.
CASTLE STREET.

HYMN 3. S. M.

d 6 [Ye perishing and naked poor,
Who work with mighty paing
To weave a garment of your own,
That will not hide your sin;

7 Come naked-and adorn your souls
In robes prepar'd by God;
Wrought by the labours of his Son,
And dyed in his own blood.]

e 8 [Dear God! the treasures of thy love Are everlasting mines,

Deep as our helpless miseries are,
And boundless as our sins!]

• The happy gates of gospel, grace
Stand open night and day:

-Lord, we are çome to seek supplies,
And drive our wants away.

SUNDAY. ST. ANN'S.

3 He lives! he lives! and sits above,
For ever interceding there:
Who shall divide us from his love,
Or what should tempt us to despair?

4 Shall persecution, or distress,
Famine, or sword, or nakedness?
He, who hath lov'd us, bears us through,
And makes us more than conqu❜rors too.

5 Faith hath an overcoming pow'r,
It triumphs in the dying hour:
Christ is our life, our joy, our hope;
Nor can we sink with such a prop.

6 Not all that men on earth can do,
Nor pow'rs on high, nor pow'rs below,
Shall cause his mercy to remove,
Or wean our hearts from Christ our love.
QUERCY.
