HYMN 10.

(L. M. ROME.)

The Law and the Gospel contrasted.

1 FROM Sinai's mount, in might array'd,
The Lord his fiery law display'd:
Through heaven and earth its mandates fly;
"Do this and live-transgress and die."
2 "Do this and live!"-oh! who may stand
Before the precept's strict demand?
"Transgress and die!"-then all are dead,
And every hope of life is fled.

3 Lo! from the cross, a voice in peace
Bids Sinai's awful thunders cease:
It is the voice of Jesu's blood,
That calls the sinner home to God.
4 O sinner! glad the voice obey;
He is the Truth, the Life, the Way:
Behold thy Saviour and thy God,
Slain to redeem thee by his blood.
5 How else his presence wilt thou bear,
When He in judgment shall appear;
When slighted love to wrath shall turn,
And all the earth like Sinai burn?

HYMN 11.

(S. M. FAGIUS.)

Invitation to praise Christ.

1 AWAKE, and sing the song

Of Moses and the Lamb: *

Wake every heart, and every tongue,
To praise the Saviour's name!

* Rev. xv. 3.

2 Sing of his dying love; Sing of his rising power: Sing how He intercedes above, For those whose sins He bore! 3 Sing on your heavenly way, Ye ransom'd sinners, sing! Sing on, rejoicing, day by day, In Christ the' Eternal King. 4 We soon shall hear Him say, "Ye blessed children come :' He soon will call us hence away, And take his wanderers home. 5 There shall our raptured tongue His endless praise proclaim; And sweeter voices tune the song Of Moses and the Lamb!

HYMN 12.

(P. M. JUBILEE.)

The Gospel-jubilee. Lev. xxv.

9. &c.

1 BLOW ye the trumpet, blow; The gladly solemn sound, Let all the nations know To earth's remotest bound; The year of jubilee is come; Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home! 2 Exalt the Lamb of God, (The sin-atoning Lamb) Redemption by his blood

Through all the world proclaim: The year of jubilee is come; Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home!

3 Ye, who have sold for nought
Your heritage above,
Come, take it back unbought,
The gift of sovereign love;
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home!
4. Ye slaves of sin and death,
Your liberty receive;
And, justified by faith,
In Christ, for ever live:
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home!

HYMN 13.

(P.M. DARWELL.)

The triumphs of Christ.

1 COME ye who love the Lord, And feel his quickening power, Unite with one accord,

His goodness to adore:

1

To heaven and earth aloud proclaim
Your great Redeemer's glorious name.

3. He left his throne above,
His glory laid aside,

Came down on wings of love,

And wept, and bled, and died:

The pains He bore, what tongue can tell, To save our souls from death and hell?

3 He burst the grave,

and rose

Victorious from the dead;
And thence his vanquish'd foes
In glorious triumph led :

H

Up through the heavens the Conqueror rode
Triumphant to the throne of God.
4 He soon again will come,
(His chariot will not stay)
To take his children home,
To realms of endless day :
We there shall see Him face to face,
And sing the triumphs of his grace.
HYMN 14.

(L. M. PORTUGUESE.)

Glory and grace in the person of Christ.

1 Now to the Lord a noble song! Awake each heart, awake each tongue : Hosanna to the' Eternal Name!

Ye saints! his boundless love proclaim. 2 See, where it shines in Jesus' face, The brightest image of his grace; God, in the person of his Son, Has all his mightiest works outdone, 3 Salvation! oh! the glorious theme! Our hearts rejoice at Jesus' name: Ye angels dwell upon the sound; Ye heavens! reflect it to the ground. 4 Oh! may we reach that blissful place, Where He unveils his heavenly face; His cloudless glory there behold, And sound his praise on harps of gold! HYMN 15.

(C. M. MANCHESTER.)

Christ the Lamb of God.

1 How shall we stand when Christ appears? How come before the Lord?

At that dread hour will prayers, or tears,
Avert the threatening sword?

2 Shall sinners plead the costly blood
Of lambs or bullocks spilt?

Shall they allege their hearts are good,
And think to hide their guilt?

3 Ah! no: the Lamb of God alone,
(The Lamb whom God hath sent)
Can for our numerous sins atone,
And his just wrath prevent.

4 O Lamb of God! our sins forgive:
On Thee our hopes we place:
Say to our troubled spirits, "live;"
And save us by thy grace.

HYMN 16.

(C. M. DARTMOUTH.)

The power and love of Christ.

1 O FOR a thousand tongues to sing
The great Redeemer's praise;
The glories of our God and King,
The triumphs of his grace!

2 Jesus! the name that soothes our fears, That bids our sorrows cease;

'Tis music in the sinner's ears;

"Tis life, and health, and peace.

3 He breaks the power of cancell'd sin,
And sets the prisoners free:

His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood avail for me.
