SUFFERINGS OF CHRIST.
And blood and water from his side,
Wash guilt and filth away.
4 And now he pleading stands
For us, before the throne,
And answers all the law’s demands
With what himself hath done.
5 The Holy Ghost he sends,
Our stubborn souls to move,
To make his enemies hi,s friends.
And conquer them by love.
6 The world and Satan rage,
But he their power controls;
His wisdom, love, and truth engage
Protection for our souls.
7 Though pressed, we will not yield,
But shall prevail at length;
For Jesus is our sun and shield,
Our righteousness and strength.
53 C. M.
Praise to the Redeemer.
1 TO our Redeemer’s glorious name
* Awake the sacred song;
O may his love (immortal flame !)
Tune every heart and tongue.
2 His love! what mortal thought can sketcu
What mortal tongue display ?
Imagination’s utmost stretch
In wonder dies away.
3 He left the radiant throne on high,
Reft the bright realms of bliss,
And came to earth to bleed and die I
Was ever love like this?
