ON FREE GRACE.
Grace moved the cause for saving man,
And wisdom drew the noble plan.
3 The bather chose his only Son
To die for sins that man had done;
Emmanuel to the choice agreed,
And thus secured a num’rous seed.
4 He sends his Spirit from above,
To call the objects of his love;
Not one shall perish or be lost,
His blood has bought them—dear they cost
5 What high displays of sovereign grace!
What love to save a ruined race !
My soul, adore his lovely name,
By whom thy free salvation came.
7 C. M.
Truth and grace.
1 \A7HEN first the God of boundless grace
VV Disclosed his kind design,
To rescue his apostate race
From mis’ry, shame and sin.
2 Quick through the realms of light and bliss
The joyful tidings ran;
Each heart exulted at the news
That God would dwell with man.
3 Yet midst their joys they paused awhile.
And asked, with strange surprise,
“But how can injured Justice smile,
Or look with pitying eyes ?”
4 The Son of God attentive heard,
And quickly thus replied:
“ In me let Mercy be revered,
And Justice satisfied.
