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 roll,
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:

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,

In yonder world above; /

His saints on earth admire his ways,
And glory in his love.

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.

5 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.

"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."

"

3 Fulfil thy promise, gracious Lord,
On all assembled bere:

Put forth thy Spirit with the word,
And cause the dead to hear.

4 Preserve the pow'r of faith alive,
In those who love thy name;
For sin and Satan daily strive
To quench the sacred flame,
5 To thee we look, to thee we bow;
To thee for help we call;
Our life and resurrection thou,
Our hope, our joy, our all.

74. The Righteousness of his People. C.M. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.—JER. xxiii. 6.

SAVIOUR divine, we know thy name,
And in that name we trust;

Thou art the Lord our Righteousness,
Thou art thine Israel's boast.

2 Guilty we plead before thy throne,
And low in dust we lie,

Till JESUS stretch his gracious arm
To bring the guilty nigh.

3 Then the bright robe which he hath wrought,

Shall deck us all around ;

Nor by the piercing eye of God,

One blemish shall be found.

4 Pardon and peace and lively hope, To sinners now are giv'n:

Soon shall thy faithful people change
Their wilderness for heav'n.

5 With joy we taste that manna now,
Thy mercy scatters down;
We rest with lively faith on thee,
And wait the promis'd crown.

75. The Righteousness of his People. L. M.

Surely, shall one say, In the Lord have I righteousness and strength. In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.-ISAIAH xlv. 24, 25.

JESUS, thy blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress;
'Midst flaming worlds in these array'd,
With joy shall I lift up my head.

2 When from the dust of death I rise
To take my mansion in the skies,
E'en then shall this be all my plea,
"JESUS hath liv'd and died for me.'

3 Bold shall I stand in that great day, For who aught to my charge shall lay? Fully through thee absolv'd I am From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 4 Thus Abraham, the friend of GOD, Thus all the armies bought with blood,
