At once before thee lies;

Is open to thine eyes.

3 Though greatly from myself conceal'd, 1
Thou seest my inward frame;
To thee I always stand reveal'd, fe
Exactly as I am..

What in myself I see;

Oh! how impure must I appear,
Most holy God to thee!

5 But since my Saviour stands between,
In garments dyed in blood,
"Tis he, instead of me, is seen,
When I approach to God.

6 Thus, though a sinner, I am safe;,
He pleads before the throne,
His life and death in my behalf,
And calls my sins his own.

7 What wondrous love, what mysteries, In his appointment shine!

My breaches of the law are his,
And his obedience mine.

JESUS, my All, to heaven is gone;! He whom I fix my hopes upon; His track I see, and I'll pursue The narrow way till him I view.salle A

2 This is the way I long have sought, #
And mourn'd because I found it not; f
My grief and burthen long have been,
Because I could not cease from sin.

3 The more I strove against its power,
I sinn'd and stumbled but the more;
Till late I heard my Saviour say,
'Come hither, soul! I am the way.

4 Lo! glad I come; and thou, blest Lamb, Shalt take me to thee as I am:

Nothing but sin I thee can give;
Nothing but love shall I receive.

5 Then will I tell to sinners round, What a dear Saviour I have found; I'll point to thy redeeming blood, say, Behold the way to God!"

EHOLD the sure foundation stone,
Which God in Zion lays,

To build our heavenly hopes upon,
And his eternal praise.

2 Chosen of God, to sinners dear,
And saints adore the name;

They trust their whole salvation here,
Nor shall they suffer shame.

3 The foolish builders, scribe and priest,
Reject it with disdain ;

Yet on this rock the church shall rest,
And envy rage in vain.

And wondrous in our eyes.

1 BACKWARD with humble shame we look On our original:

we stel T How is our nature dash'd and broke mo* In our first father's fall!

2 To all that's good, averse and blind, e But prone to all that's illadtaki What dreadful darkness veils our mind! How obstinate our will!

3 What mortal power from things unclean
Can pure productions bring?

Who can command a vital stream
From an infected spring?

4 Yet, mighty God, thy wondrous love
Can make our nature clean,
While Christ and grace prevail above
The tempter, death, and sin."

5 The second Adam shall restore
The ruins of the first;

Hosanna to that sovereign power
That new creates our dust.

2 What gifts, what miracles he gave!
And power to kill, and power to save:
Furnish'd their tongues with wondrous word.
Instead of shields and spears and swords.

3 Thus arm'd, he sent the champions forth,
From east to west, from south to north;
'Go, and assert your Saviour's cause;
A
'Go, spread the mystery of his cross.'›

4 These weapons of the holy war,
Of what almighty force they are,
To make our stubborn passions bow,
And lay the proudest rebel low!

5 Nations, the learned and the rude,
Are by these heavenly arms subdued;
While Satan rages at his loss,

And hates the doctrine of the cross.

6 Great King of Grace, my heart subdue!
I would be led in triumph too,

A willing captive to my Lord,
And sing the victories of his word.
