4 Jefus, thy fpeaking blood-
From God obtain'd the grace,
Who therefore hath beftow'd

On us a longer space :

Thou didst in our behalf appear,
And lo! we fee another year!

5 Then dig about our root,

Break up our fallow ground,
And let our gracious fruit,

To thy great praife abound;
O let us all thy praite declare,
And fruit unto perfection bear.

HYMN CCXXXI.

ISING to the great Jehovah's praise ;

Allraife to him belongs,
Who kindly lengthens out our days,
Demands our choiceft fongs,
Whole providence has brought us thro
Another various year,

We all with vows and anthems new
Before ou God appear.

2 Father, thy mercies paft we own,
Thy till continu'd care,

To thee prefenting, through thy Son,
Whate'er we have, or are;
Our lips and lives fhall gladly show
The wonders of thy love,
While on in Jefu's fteps we go
To fee thy face above.

3 Our refidue of days or hours
Thine, wholly thine fhall be,
And all our confecrated pow'rs
A facrifice to thee.

S

Till Jefus in the clouds appear
To faints on earth forgiv'n,
And bring the grand Sabbatic Year,
The Jubilee of heav'n.

GOOD-FRIDAY.

HYMN CCXXXII.

ALAS! and did my Saviour bleed?
And did my Sov'reign die?
Wou'd he devote that facred head
For fuch a worm as I?"

2 Was it for crimes that I had done
He groan'd upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown
And love beyond degree !

3 Well might the fun in darkness hide, And faut his glories in;

4

When Chrift the mighty Maker dy'd
For man, the creature's fin!

Thus might I hide my blushing face,
While his dear cross appears;
Diffolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears.

5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe;

Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do.

A

Charge to keep I have

Ah! lovely appearance of death

Ah! where am I now

Ah whither should I go

Alas! and did my Saviour bleed

Behold the Saviour of mankind
Behold the fervant of the Lord

Bleft be the dear uniting love"
