The happy, pardon'd sinner knows
It is the blood divine.

4 But only he who feels
My Saviour died for me,

Is sure that all the Godhead dwells
Eternally in thee.

HYMN 67.

1L ET God the FATHER live

For ever on our tongues ;

Sinners from his free love derive
The ground of all their songs.

2 Ye saints, employ your breath
In honour of the SON,

Who bought your souls from hell and death,
By offering up his own.

3 Give to the SPIRIT praise,
Of an immortal strain,
Whose light, and power, and grace conveys
Salvation down to men.

4 While God the Comforter

Reveals our pardon'd sin;

O may

the blood and water bear

The same record within.

5 To the great One in Three,

That seal the grace in heaven, The FATHER, SON, and SPIRIT, be Eternal glory given.

HYMN 68.

1 TRY us, O God! and search the ground Of every evil heart:

Whate'er of sin in us is found,
Oh! bid it all depart.

2 When to the right or left we stray,
Pity thy helpless sheep;
Bring back our feet into the way,
And there thy wanderers keep.

3 Help us to help each other, Lord;
Each other's burden bear :
Let each his friendly aid afford

To sooth his brother's care.

4 Help us to build each other up;
Help us ourselves to prove;
Increase our faith, confirm our hope,
And perfect us in love.

5 Complete at length thy work of grace,
And take us to thy rest,

Among thy saints, who see thy face,
To be for ever blest.

HYMN 69.

1 JEHOVAH Lord of heav'n,
By men on earth ador'd,

This sacred Church to thee is giv'n,
Accept the off"'ring, Lord.

2 Here may thy glory rest,
Here may thy truth be known;
By every heart thy name confess'd,
For thou art God alone.

3 Here Lord, thyself reveal,
Thy holy truth impart,
The doctrines of thy kingdom seal
On ev'ry waiting heart.

4 Give to thy word success,
That thousands may come in,
With heart and life thy truth profess,
And cease from every sin.

5 A holy church be here,
Built on thy sacred word;
Which shall at length in heav'n
And see thy glory, Lord.

appear,

6 From hence may thousands rise,
Made pure by faith and love;
Possess their mansions in the skies,
And sing thy praise above.

HYMN 70.

1 THY mercies and thy love,
O Lord, recall to mind;

And graciously continue still,
As thou wert ever, kind.

2 Let all my youthful crimes,
Be blotted out by thee;

And for thy wond'rous goodness sake, mercy think on me.

In

3 His mercy and his truth,
The righteous Lord displays;
In bringing wand'ring sinners home,
And teaching them his ways.
4 He those in justice guides,
Who his direction seek ;
And in his sacred paths, shall lead
The humble and the meek.

5 Thro' all the ways of God,
Both truth and mercy shine;
To such as with religious hearts,
To his blest word incline.

HYMN 71.

1 ALMIGHTY Maker, God,

How wond'rous is thy name;

Thy glories how diffus'd abroad,
Thro' the creation's frame.

2 Nature, in every dress,

Her humble homage pays; And finds a thousand ways t' express Thine undissembled praise.

3 My soul would rise and sing

To her Creator too;

Fain would my tongue adore my King, And pay the worship due.

4 Create my soul anew,

Else all my worship's vain!
