O

Lord Jesus, was our por- tion Thine, And is Thy por-tion ours?

2 Emmanuel, didst Thou take our place To set us in Thine own?

Didst Thou our low estate embrace
To lift us to Thy throne?

3 Didst Thou fulfil each righteous deed,
God's perfect will express,
That we the unfaithful ones might plead
Thy perfect faithfulness?

4 On Thy pure soul did dread and gloom In that drear garden rise?

Are ours the brightness and the bloom Of Thine own Paradise?

A - MEN.

5 For Thee the Father's hidden face? For Thee the bitter cry?

For us the Fa her's endless grace,
The song of victory?

6 Our load of sin and misery
Didst Thou the Sinless bear?
Thy spotless robe of purity
Do we the sinners wear?

7 Lord Jesus, is it even so?

Have we been loved thus?
What love can we on Thee bestow
Who hast exchanged with us?

8 Thou, who our very place didst take,
Dwell in our very heart:

Thou, who Thy portion ours dost make,
Thyself, Thyself impart.

442 (COWPER) C.M.

1 There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel's veins;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.

2 The dying thief rejoiced to see

That fountain in his day; And there have I, as vile as he, Washed all my sins away.

Thomas H. Gill, 1864

3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power

Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved, to sin no more.

4 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.

5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing Thy power to save,
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave.

William Cowper, 1772

Then, Lord, shall I fully know, Not till then, how much I owe.

2 Long years were spent for me

3

In weariness and woe, That through eternity

Thy glory I might know:
Long years were spent for me;
Have I spent one for Thee?

And Thou hast brought to me
Down from Thy home above
Salvation full and free,

445 (HAMBURG) L. M.

1 Nature with open volume stands To spread her Maker's praise abroad,

Thy pardon and Thy love:
Great gifts Thou broughtest me;
What have I brought to Thee?

4. O let my life be given,

My years for Thee be spent;
World-fetters all be riven,

And joy with suffering blent:
Thou gav'st Thyself for me,
I give myself to Thee.

Frances R. Havergal, 1858: recast in "Church Hymns," 1871

And every labor of His hands
Shows something worthy of a God:

2 But in the grace that rescued man

His brightest form of glory shines; Here, on the cross, 'tis fairest drawn In precious blood and crimson lines.

3 O the sweet wonders of that cross

Where my Redeemer loved and died! Her noblest life my spirit draws

From His dear wounds and bleeding side.

4 I would for ever speak His Name

In sounds to mortal ears unknown With angels join to praise the Lamb, And worship at His Father's throne.

Rev. Isaac Watts, 1707: verse 3, line 2, alt,
