The Hope of Heaven through Christ.-Doddridge.

1. "Sing, all ye ransomed of the Lord,
Your great deliverer sing:

Ye pilgrims, now for Zion bound,
Be joyful in your King.

2. "His hand divine shall lead you on,
Through all the blissful road,
Till to the sacred mount you rise,
And see your gracious God.

3. "Bright garlands of immortal joy
Shall bloom on every head;

4. "March on, in your Redeemer's strength,
Pursue his footsteps still;

With joyful hope still fix your eye
On Zion's heavenly hill."

Worthy the Lamb. - Anon.

1. "Glory to God on high!
Let heaven and earth reply,
'Praise ye his name!'
Angels, his love adore,

Who all our sorrows bore;
Saints, sing for evermore,
'Worthy the Lamb!'

2. "Ye, who surround the throne,
Cheerfully join in one,
Praising his name:

Ye, who have felt his blood
Sealing your peace with God,
Sound through the earth abroad,
'Worthy the Lamb!?

3. "Join all the ransomed race,
Our Lord and God to bless :
Praise ye his name.

In him we will rejoice,

Making a cheerful noise,

Shouting with heart and voice,

Worthy the Lamb!'”

PATHOS, ENTREATY, AND SUPPLICATION.

The Cross.- Steele.

1. "Stretched on the cross, the Saviour dies: Hark! his expiring groans arise!

See from his hands his feet- his side,
Descends the sacred crimson tide!

2. "And didst thou bleed- for sinners bleed?

And could the sun behold the deed?

No-he withdrew his cheering ray,
And darkness veiled the mourning day.

3. "Can I survey the scene of wo,
Where mingling grief and mercy flow,
And yet my heart so hard remain,
As not to move with love or pain?

4. "Come-dearest Lord, thy grace impart,
To warm this cold, unfeeling heart,
Till all its powers and passions move
In melting grief and ardent love."

Godly Sorrow. - Watts.

1. "Alas! and did my Saviour bleed,
And did my Sovereign die?
Would he devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?

2. "Was it for crimes that I had done,
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity!-grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!

3. "Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut his glories in,

When Christ, the almighty Saviour, died
For man, the rebel's sin.

4. "Thus might I hide my blushing face,
While his dear cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt my eyes to tears.

5. "But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe :
Here, Lord, I give myself away.
'Tis all that I can do."

Pardon implored.— Stennett.

1. "Prostrate, dear Jesus, at thy feet,
A guilty rebel lies,

And upwards to thy mercy-seat
Presumes to lift his eyes.

2. "If tears of sorrow would suffice

To pay the debt I owe,

Tears should from both my weeping eyes

In ceaseless torrents flow.

3. "But no such sacrifice I plead

To expiate my guilt;

No tears, but those which thou hast shed

No blood, but thou hast spilt.

4. "I plead thy sorrows, dearest Lord;
Do thou my sins forgive:

Thy justice will approve the word,
That bids the sinner live."

Succor implored in spiritual Conflicts. - Steele.

1. "Alas! what hourly dangers rise!
What snares beset my way!

To heaven, oh! let me lift mine eyes,
And hourly watch and pray.

2. "How oft my mournful thoughts complain,
And melt in flowing tears!

My weak resistance!—ah! how vain!
How strong my foes and fears!

5. "Yet, save a trembling sinner, Lord,

Whose hope, still hovering round thy word,
Would light on some sweet promise there,
Some sure support against despair.”
