Salvation into glorious bliss;
How great salvation who can tell
But all he hath for mime I claim,
I dare believe in Jesu's name.

HYMN 270.

me for the war,
And teach my hands to fight;

My simple, upright heart prepare,
Aud guide my words aright:
Control my every thought;
My whole of sin remove;
Let all my works in thee be wrought;
Let all be wrought in love.

2 O arm me with the mind,

Meek Lamb, which was in thee!
And let my knowing zeal be join'd
With perfect charity;

With calm and temper'd zeal
Let me enforce thy call;
And vindicate thy gracious will,
Which offers life to all.

[ocr errors]

O do not let me trust

In any arm but thine!

Humble, O humble to the dust
This stubborn soul of mine!
A feeble thing of nought,
With lowly shame I own,
The help which upon earth is wrought,
Thou dost it all alone.

4 O may I love like thee;
In all thy footsteps tread!
Thou hatest all iniquity,

But nothing thou hast made.
O may I learn the art,
With meekness to reprove,

My soul a sudden calm shall feel,
And hear a whisper, "Peace, be still!"
Though in affliction's furnace try'd,
Unhurt, on snares and death I'll
tread;

Tho' sin assail, and hell thrown wide, Pour all its flames upon my head; Like Moses' bush I'll mount the higher, And flourish, unconsum'd, in fire. HYMN 273.

[8 lines 7's & 6's.]

'O MY old, my bosom-foe,

Rejoice not over me!

Oft times thou hast laid me low,
And wounded mortally;

Yet thy prey thou couldst not keep;
Jesus, when I lowest fell,

Heard me cry out of the deep,

And brought me up from hell.
2 Foolish world, thy shouts forbear,
Till thou hast won the day;
Could thy wisdom keep me there,
When in thy hands I lay?

If my heart to thee incline,
Christ again shall set it free!
I am his, and he is mine
To all eternity.

a Satan, cease thy empty boast,
And give thy triumphs o'er;
Still thou seest I am not lost,
"While Jesus can restore:
Though through thy deceit I fall,
Surely I shall rise again :
Christ my King is over all,

And I with him shall reign.

4 O my threefold enemy!
To whom I long did bow,
See your lawful captive, see,

No more your captive now;
Now before my face ye fly;
More than conqueror now I am;
Sin, the world, and hell defy,
In Jesu's powerful name.

HYMN 275.

[c. M.]

Tsit thou in glory, sit

MIE Lord unto my Lord hath said,

Till I thine enemies have made

To bow beneath thy feet.

2 Jesus, my Lord, mighty to save,
What can my hopes withstand,
While thee my Advocate I have,
Enthron'd at God's right hand?
And shall my sins thy will oppose?-
Master, thy right maintain:

O let not these usurping foes

In me thy servant reign!

4 Come, then, and claim me for thine

own,

Saviour, thy right assert!

Come, gracious Lord, set up thy

throne,

And reign within my heart!

So shall I bless thy pleasing sway,

And, sitting at thy feet,

Thy laws with all my heart obey;
With all my soul submit.

The triumphs of thy love.

To all I shall proclaim

And strength, ascribe to Jesus!
Jesus alone Defends his own,
When earth and hell oppress us.
Jesus with joy we witness,
Almighty to deliver;

Our seals set to, That God is true,
And reigns a King for ever.

2 Omnipotent Redeemer,

Our ransom'd souls adore thee;
Our Saviour Thou, We find it now,
And give thee all the glory.
We sing thine arm unshorten'd,
Brought thro' our sore temptation:
With heart and voice In thee rejoice,
The God of our salvation.

Thine arm hath safely brought us
A way no more expected,
Than when thy sheep Pass'd thro' the
deep,

By crystal walls protected.
Thy glory was our rereward,

Thine hand our lives did cover. And we, ev'n we, have pass'd the sea, And march'a triumphant över.

4 Thy works we now acknowledge. Thy wond'rous loving-kindness, Which help'd thine own, By means un known,

And smote our foes with blindness:

By Satan's host surrounded,

Thon didst with patience arm
