Where years of long salvation roll, And glory never dies.
1 THY favours, Lord, surprise our souls; Will the Eternal dwell with us? What canst thou find beneath the poles, To tempt thy chariot downward thus? 2 Still might he fill his starry throne, And please his ears with Gabriel's songs: But heavenly majesty comes down,
And bows to hearken to our tongues! 3 Great God! what poor returns we pay For love so infinite as thine! Words are but air, and tongues but clay, But thy compassion's all divine.
HYMN 100. P. M. 1 BLOW ye the trumpet, blow The gladly solemn sound! Let all the nations know To earth's remotest bound; The year of Jubilee is come; Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home.
2 Exalt the Lamb of God, The sin-atoning Lamb; Redemption by his blood, Through all the lands proclaim;
The year of Jubilee is come; Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home. 3 Ye slaves of sin and hell, Your liberty receives
And safe in Jesus dwell, And blest in Jesus live; The year of Jubilee is come; Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home 4 The gospel trumpet hear, The news of pard'ning grace; Ye happy souls draw near, Behold your Saviour's face; The year of Jubilee is come; Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home. 5 Jesus, our great high priest, Has full atonement made; Ye weary spirits rest; Ye mournful souls be glad ! The year of Jubilee is come; Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home.
HYMN 101. С. М.
1 THERE is a fountain fill'd with blood, Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners plung'd beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains.
2 E'er since by faith I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die.
3 Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing thy pow'r to save; When this poor lisping stamm'ring tongue, Lies silent in the grave.
1 STRETCH'D on the cross the Saviour dies; Hark! his expiring groans arise ; See from his hands, his feet, his side, Runs down the sacred crimson tide.
2 But life attends the deathful sound, And flows from ev'ry bleeding wound; The vital stream how free it flows, To save and cleanse his rebel foes!
3 Can I survey this scene of wo, Where mingling grief and wonder flow; And yet my heart unmov'd remain, Insensible to love or pain ?
4 Come, dearest Lord, thy grace impart, To warm this cold, this stupid heart! Till all its pow'rs and passions move, In melting grief and ardent love.
HYMN 103. С. М.
1 "Thou pity'dst him who once apply'd, With trembling for relief; "Lord, I believe," with tears he cry'd, "Oh, help my unbelief."
2 She too who touch'd thee in the press, And healing virtue stole,
Was answer'd, "Daughter, go in peace, "Thy faith hath made thee whole."
3 Like her with hopes and fears we come, To touch thee if we may; Oh! send us not despairing home, Send none unheal'd away.
1 STAY, thou insulted Spirit, stay,
Though I have done thee such despite, Cast not a sinner quite away,
Nor take thine everlasting flight ; 2 Though I have most unfaithful been Of all, who'er thy grace receiv'd, Ten thousand times thy goodness seen, Ten thousand times thy goodness griev'd.
3 But Oh! the chief of sinners spare, In honor of my great high-priest; Nor in thy righteous anger swear, I shall not see thy people's rest. HYMN 105. L. M.
1 So fades the lovely blooming flower, Frail smiling solace of an hour; So all our earthly comforts fly, And pleasure only blooms to die.
2 Hope wipes the tear from sorrow's eye, And faith soars higher than the sky, Those blissful regions to explore, Where pleasure blooms to die no more. HYMN 106. С. М.
1 LORD at thy feet we sinners lie, And knock at mercy's door; With heavy heart and downcast eye, Thy favor we implore.
2 'Tis mercy, mercy we implore, We would thy bowels move; Thy grace is an exhaustless store, And thou thyself art love.
3 Oh, for thine own, for Jesus' sake, Our many sins forgive; Thy grace our rocky hearts can break, And breaking soon relieve.
4 Thus melt us down, thus make us bend, And thy dominion own; Nor let a rival more pretend To repossess thy throne.
HYMN 107. S. M.
1 BLEST be the tie that binds
Our hearts in christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds, Is like to that above.
2 Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent pray'rs; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, Our comforts and our cares.
3 We share our mutual woes; Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathising tear. 4 When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be join'd in heart, And hope to meet again. 5 This glorious hope revives Our courage by the way; While each in expectation lives, And longs to see the day.
