THE GOODNESS OF GOD.

6 With him we walk in white;

We in his image shine; Our robes are robes of glorious light, Our righteousness divine. On all the kings of earth

With pity we look down; And claim, in virtue of our birth, A never- fading crown.

2. DESCRIBING THE GOODNESS OF GOD. HYMN 22.

C. M.

Nail'd to the shameful tree!

How vast the love that him inclined To bleed and die for thee!

27

2 Hark, how he groans! while nature shakes, And earth's strong pillars bend; The temple's veil in sunder breaks; The solid marbles rend.

3' Tis done! the precious ransom's paid; " Receive my soul," he cries:

See where he bows his sacred head! He bows his head, and dies!

4 But soon he'll break death's envious chain,

And in full glory shine:

O Lamb of God! was ever pain, Was ever love, like thine?

HYMN 23.

1 XTENDED on a cursed tree,

EX

Besmear'd with dust, and sweat, and blood, See there, the King of Glory see!

Sinks and expires the Son of God!

2 Who, who, my Saviour, this hath done? Who could thy sacred body wound? No guilt thy spotless heart hath known, No guile hath in thy lips been found.
