Whither should a sinner go?
His arms for me are open wide;
Only JESUS would 1 know,
And JESUS crucified.]

4 What though all my nature's sin?
More boundless is his grace;
JESU's blood will make me clean
From all unrighteousness:
This shall wash me white as snow,
On this for all things I confide;
Only JESUS will I know,
And JESUS crucified.

5 Him to know is life and peace,
And pleasure without end;
This be all my happiness,
On JESUS to depend;
Daily in his grace to grow,
And ever in his love abide ;
Only JESUS would I know,
And JESUS crucified.

69. The Propitiation for Sin. 8—8—6.

Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus; whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood.-ROM. iii. 24, 25.

O THOU that hear'st the prayer of faith, Wilt thou not save a soul from death, That casts itself on thee?

I have no refuge of my own,
But fly to what my Lord hath done
And suffer'd once for me!

2 Deliver'd in the sinner's stead,'
Thy spotless righteousness I plead,
And thine atoning blood:
That righteousness my robe shall be;
Thy sacrifice avail for me,
And bring me near to God.

3 Then, shatch me from eternal death,
The Spirit of adoption breathe,
His consolations send:

By him some word of life impart,
And graciously assure my heart,
Thy Maker is thy Friend."

4 The king of terrors then would be
A welcome messenger to me,
To call my soul away:

Leaving the world and earthly things,
I'd mount upon his sable wings
To everlasting day.

70. The Purifier of his People. C.M.

Jesus answered him, if I wash thee not thou hast no part in me.-JOHN Xiii. 8.

FOR ever here my rest shall be,
Close to thy bleeding side;
This all my hope, and all my plea,
For me the Saviour died.

2 My dying Saviour and my GOD, Fountain for guilt and sin, Sprinkle me ever with thy blood,

And cleanse, and keep me clean.

3 Wash me, and make me thus thine own:
Wash me, and mine thou art:
Wash me, but not my feet alone,
My hands, my head, my heart. ‹ {

4 Th' atonement of thy blood apply,
Till Faith to sight improve;
Till hope shall end in perfect joy,
And all my soul be love.

71. The Refuge of his People. 78.

Thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat. ISAIAH xxv. 4.

JESU, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly,
While the raging billows rolly
While the tempest still is high:
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
Till the storm of life is past
Safe into the haven guide;

O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none;

Hangs my helpless soul on thee;
Leave, ah, leave me not alone,

Still support and comfort me!
All my trust on thee is stay'd,

All my help from thee I bring;
Cover my defenceless head

With the shadow of thy wing!

3 Thou, O CHRIST, art all I want;
All in all in thee I find:
in an

Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind!
Just and holy is thy name,

I am all unrighteousness;
Vile and full of sin I am,
Thou art full of truth and

grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, Grace to pardon all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within! Thou of life the fountain art,

Freely let me take of thee;
Spring thou up within my heart;
Rise to all eternity!

72. The Refuge of his People. C.M.

The Lord will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.-PSALM ix. 9, 10.

HE who on earth as Man was known,
And bore our sins and pains,
Now seated on th' eternal throne,
The God of glory reigns.

2 While harps unnumber'd sound his praise,

རྞྞ མ

In yonder world above;
His saints on earth admire his ways,
And glory in his love.

.li

3 His righteousness to faith reveal'd,
Wrought out for guilty worms,
Affords a hiding-place and shield
From enemies and storms.

4 This land, thro' which his pilgrims go, Is desolate and dry;

But streams of grace from him o'erflow,
Their thirst to satisfy.

3 When troubles, like a burning sun,
Beat heavy on their head,
To this Almighty Rock they run,
And find refreshing shade.

6 How glorious he! how happy they
In such a glorious friend!
Whose love secures them all the way,
And crowns them at the end.

73. The Resurrection & Life. C.M.

JESUS said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life : he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.-John xi. 25.

4

"I AM," saith CHRIST, our glorious head (May we attention give), "The resurrection of the dead, "The life of all that live,

2 "By faith in me, the soul receives "New life, though dead before; "And he that in my name believes, "Shall live to die no more."
