The dying thief rejoiced to see

That fountain in his day;

dim And there may I, as vile as he, cr Wash all my sins away.

Dear dying LAMB, Thy precious Blood Shall never lose its power,

er Till all the ransom'd Church of GoDIf our love were but more simple,

Be saved to sin no more.

We should take Him at His word; mf And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of our LORD.

Amen.

E'er since by faith I saw the stream Thy flowing Wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die.

Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save, When this poor lisping, stammering tongue

Lies silent in the grave.

P LORD, I believe Thou hast prepared, Unworthy though I be,

For me a Blood- bought free reward, A golden harp for me.

er' Tis strung and tuned for endless

years,

And form'd by power Divine, fTo sound in GOD the FATHER's ears No other name but Thine, Amen.

" I came not to judge the world, but to 634 save the world."

mf SOULS of men! why will ye scatter Like a crowd of frighten'd sheep? Foolish hearts! why will ye wander From a love so true and deep?

p Was there ever kindest shepherd Half so gentle, half so sweet, As the SAVIOUR Who would have us Come and gather round His Feet?

cr There's a wideness in GOD's mercy, Like the wideness of the sea: There's a kindness in His justice, Which is more than liberty.

There is no place where earth's sorrows Are more felt than up in Heaven: p There is no place where earth's failings

Have such kindly judgment given.

mf There is plentiful redemption

In the Blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head.

mp Pining souls! come nearer JESUS, And oh! come not doubting thus,

er But with faith that trusts more bravely

His huge tenderness for us.

For the love of Gon is broader Than the measures of man's mind; And the Heart of the Eternal la most wonderfully kind.

" O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us, do Thou it for Thy Name's sake; for our backslidings are many."

635

p WEARY of wandering from my God, And now made willing to return,

I hear, and bow me to the rod; cr For Thee, not without hope, I

mourn:

I have an Advocate above,

A Friend before the Throne of Love. p 0 JESUS, full of pardoning grace,

More full of grace than I of sin, Yet once again I seek Thy Face; er Open Thine Arms, and take me in, And freely my backslidings heal, And love the faithless sinner still.

Thou know'st the way to bring me My fallen spirit to restore:[ back, o for Thy truth and mercy's sake Forgive, and bid me sin no more: The ruins of my soul repair, And make my heart a house of prayer.

The stone to flesh again convert,

The veil of sin once more remove; Sprinkle Thy Blood upon my heart, And melt it with Thy dying love; er This rebel heart by love subdue, And make it soft, and make it new.

Ah, give me. LORD, the tender heart That trembles at the approach of A godly fear of sin impart,[ sin; Implant, and root it deep within, That I may dread Thy gracious power, And never dare offend Thee more.

Amen.

" Yield yourselves unto God. and 636 your members as instruments of righteousness."

mf FATHER, SON, and HOLY GHOST, ONE in THREE, and THREE in ONE, As by the celestial host,

Let Thy Will on earth be done; Praise by all to Thee be given, Glorious LORD of earth and Heaven.
