20 THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD, THE FATHER,'

Who is a pard'ning God like thee? Or who has grace so rich and free? 3 Pardon- from an offended God! Pardon- for sins of deepest dye! Pardon- bestow'd through Jesu's blood! Pardon- that brings the rebel nigh! Who is a pard'ning God like Thee? Or who has grace so rich and free?

Thou, God, seest me. Gen. xvi. 13.

ALMIGHTY God, thy piercing eye Strikes through the shades of night; And our most secret actions lie All open to thy sight.

C. M.

2 There's not a sin that we commit, Nor wicked word we say, But in thy dreadful book' tis writ, Against the judgment day.

3 And must the crimes that I have done Be read and publish'd there? Be all expos'd before the sun, While men and angels hear? 4 Lord, at thy foot asham'd I lie, Upward I dare not look; Pardon my sins before I die, And blot them from thy book. 5 Remember all the dying pains

That my Redeemer felt, And let his blood wash out my stains, 81 And answer for my guilt.

6 Oh! put within my heart thy fear,

Grant me from sin to fly,

t

At all times to behold Thee near, And on thy grace rely.

PSALM CIII.

1 BLESS, O my soul! the living God; Call home thy thoughts that rove abroad: Let all the powers within me join In work and worship so divine.
