AIL, Thou once defpifed Jefus!
Hail, Thou Galilean King,

Who didft fuffer to release us,

Who didft free falvation bring: Hail, Thou precious, precious Saviour, Who haft borne our fin and fhame; By whole merit we find favour, Life is given through thy name!

Ev'ry fin may be forgiven,

Through the virtue of thy blood!

Open'd is the gate of heav'n,

Peace is made 'twixt man and God,

Jefus, hail! enthron'd in glory,
There for ever to abide,

All the heav'nly hofts adore Thee,
Seated at thy Father's fide:
There for finners Thou art pleading,
"Spare them yet another year;"
Thou for faints art interceding,
Till in glory they appear.

Bring your sweeteft, nobleft lays;
Help to fing our Jefu's merits,
Help to chaunt Immanuel's praise!

I.

UR God is above men, devils, and fin;
My Jefus's love the battle fhall win:

So terribly glorious his coming fhall be,
His love all-victorious fhall conquer for me.

He all fhall break through; his truth and his grace

Shall bring me into the plentiful place: Through much tribulation, through water and fire,

Through floods of temptation, and flames of defire.

III.

On Jefus my pow'r, for ftrength I rely;
All evil before his prefence fhall fly:
If I have my Saviour, He will not depart ;
But Jefus, for ever, fhall hold fast my heart.

WOW I have found the bleffed ground Where my foul's anchor may remain, The Lamb of God, who for my fin Was from the world's foundation flain, Whofe mercy fhall unshaken stay, When heav'n and earth are fled away.
