3. How can it be, thou heav'nly king,
That thou should'st man to glory bring!
Make slaves the partners of thy throne,
And give them an immortal crown!
4 Ah, Lord! enlarge our scanty thought,
To know the wonders thou hast wrought;
Unloose our stamm'ring tongues to tell
Thy love immense, unsearchable,, T
5 First-born of many brethren, thou;

To thee both earth and heav'n must bow;
Help us to thee our all to give, menos 1
Thine may we die, thine may we live!

89. The Same och bgt,

1 DISCIPLES of Christ, ye friends of the Lamb;
Attend, and assist in singing his fame:
Eternal thanksgiving the faithful should pay,
The living, the living, as we do this day.
2 A body of clay he humbly put on,

And then took away the sin we had done;
And in it endured the wrath to us due,

The curse we incurred, our stripes and our woe. 3 Not only he dy'd, but also arose ; devo Laid weakness aside, and trod on his foes, (Sin, death, and the devil,) he triumphed o'er, And every evil, dominion, and pow'r.

4 O merciful Lamb, who sitt'st on the throne, We bow at thy name, we count thee alone Deserving our blessing; and blessing we'll give, Without ever ceasing, so long as we live,

93. A Prayer for Grace...
Lord, how faithless is my heart,
How very apt from thee to stray!
Just like a broken bow I start,
And nature strives to bear the sway

Was ever one so vile, so blest to b ̃1⁄2¿T
So foul, yet by the Lamb caress'd?
2 Forbid, O Lord, each vain desire,!!!

And bind my passions to thy cross;
Quench all the sparks of nature's fire,
And bid me count my gain but loss:
Lord Jesus, tear each idol down,
And 'stablish in thy heart the throne.
3 O let thy grace wipe off my tears,' ',
And speak the tempest to a calm:
O warm my heart, and charm my fears,
Be thou a never-failing balm
The maladies of sin rernove,

gaull
And fill my soul with heav'nly love. 14
4 Henceforth I'd serve thee, "if thou’It please
To gird me with an heav'nly pow'r;
I'd sing the glories of thy grace tuli.
Till all my pilgrimage be o'er
With hallow'd fire inspire my tongue,
And love shall be iny endless song.

94. Creation and Redemption: GIVE to our God immortal praise! "Mercy and truth are all his ways; Wonders of grace to God belong, Repeat his mercies in your song. 2 Give to the Lord of lords renown, The Kings of kings with glory crown; His mercies ever shall endure,

1

When lords and kings are known no more. 3 He built the earth, he spread the sky, And fixt the starry lights on high! Wonders of grace to God belong, Repeat his inercies in your song.

4. He fills the sun with morning light, He bids the inoon direct the night:

His mercies ever shall endure,

When suns and moons shall shine no more.

5 He sent his Son with pow'r to save 260 From guilt and darkness, and the grave; Wonders of grace to God belong, Repeat his mercies in your song.” 6 Thro this vain world he guides our feet, And leads us to his heav'nly seat;

His mercies ever shall endure,

When this vain world shall be no more.

Ha 95. Confidence.

1 WITH all my pow'rs of heart and tongue, I'll praise my Maker in my song: Angels shall hear the notes I raise, opti Approve the song, and join the praise. 2 I'll sing thy truth and mercy, Lord; we o I'll sing the wonders of thy word;

Not all thy works and names below; » So much thy pow'r and glory show. 104 3 To God I cry'd when troubles rose; He heard me and subdu'd my foes; He did my rising fears control, And strength diffused through all my soul. 4 Amidst a thousand snares I stand Upheld, and guarded by thy hand; Thy words my fainting soul revive, And keep my dying thith alive. # 5 Grace will complete what grace begins, To save from sorrows, or from sins: The work that wisdom undertakes, Eternal mercy ne'er forsakes.

And can my soul from thee depart, PA
