4 Jesus! the virtue of thy blood Grant that to Thee we henceforth live, 5 Till, spotless plac'd at thy right hand, We cast our crowns before thy throne, HYMN XXI. C. M. 1 COME let us join our cheerful songs 2 "Worthy the Lamb that died," they cry, 3 Jesus is worthy to receive Honour and pow'r divine; And blessings, more than we can give, 4 Let all that dwell above the sky, 5 The whole creation join in one, Of Him that sits upon the throne, HYMN XXII. 1 NOT all the blood of beasts On Jewish alters slain, S.

M O what a Sun, which broke this day 3 Ten thousand diff'rent tongues shall join To hail this welcome morn, Which scatters blessings from its beams On nations yet unborn. 1 JESUS CHRIST is ris'n to day--Hallelujah! 2 Hymns of praise then let us sing, 3 But the pains which He endur'd 1 HAIL the day that sees Him rise, Glorious to his native skies!

Then with golden harps we'll sing,"Glory, glory to our King!” Whitsunday. HYMN XXVII. S. M. 1 COME, Holy Spirit, come; 2 Revive our drooping faith, 8 'Tis thine to cleanse the heart, To pour fresh life on ev'ry part, And new-create the whole. 4 Dwell Thou within our heart, Our minds from bondage free; Then shall we know, and praise, and love, |
