PRAYING AND PRAISING.
How swift and joyful was his flight
On wings of everlasting love.
3 Deep in the shades of gloomy death
Th’ almighty Captive pris’ner lay ;
Th’ almighty Captive left the earth,
And rose to everlasting day.
4 Among a thousand harps and songs,
Jesus, the God, exalted reigns;
His sacred name fills all their tongues,
And echoes through the heavenly plains.

Forgiveness of enemies.
1 i i CATHER, forgive,” the Saviour cried
* With his expiring breath,
And drew eternal blessings down
On those who wrought his death.
2 Jesus, this wondrous love we sing,
And whilst we sing, admire ;
Breathe on our souls, and kindle there
The same celestial fire.
3 By thine example ever swayed,
We for our foes will pray ;
With love their hatred, and their curse
With blessings will repay.

The presence of Christ makes all well.
1 LJOW tedious and tasteless the houre,
* When Jesus no longer I see!
