SUFFHRINGS OF CHRIST.
6 Bear with patience tribulation,
Overcoming all temptation,
Till the glorious jubilee :
Soon he’ll come, with bursts of thunder,
Then we shall adore and wonder,
Singing on the highest key.
7 See the blissful scene before us,
Join the universal chorus,
Bid the flowing numbers rise;
Songs immortal sweetly sounding,
Notes angelic loud rebounding,
Trembling round the vocal skies.

Christ’s suff'erinffs on the cross.

Though not a word he spoke.
3 A second look he gave, and said,
* I freely all forgive ;
This blood is for thy ransom paid,
I die that thou may’st live.’
4 With pleasing grief and mournful joy
My spirit now is filled,
That I should such a life destroy,
Yet live by him I killed-
