GLORIES OF CHRIS..
               3  Thy saints on earth, and those above,
                   Here join in sweet accord,
                 One body all in mutual love,
                   And thou our common Lord.
               81                 S. M.
                   Christ the Alpha and Omega of the perfect man.
               1  DEHOLD the perfect man,
                 D The upright one in heart;
                 Christ is the motto of his plan,
                   Christ fills up every part.
               2  For Christ’s his all in all,
                   His Alpha aud his end ;
                 In each distress on him he’ll call,
                   For Christ’s his chiefest friend.
               3  To him in every need
                   He’ll fly and shelter there,
                 For, lo! his Christ doth live, and plead
                   His cause, and answer prayer.
               4  This man shall end his days
                   In peace, and fly away,
                 Where he’ll his Christ forever praise,
                   In everlasting day.
               82                 L. M.
                        Christ ever lives our Intercessor.
               1  I KNOW that my Redeemer lives ;
                 * What comfort this sweet sentence gives,
                 He lives, he lives, who once was dead,
                 He lives my ever-living Head.
               2  He lives to bless me with his love;
                 He lives to plead my cause above;
                 He lives my hungry soul to feed;
                 He lives to help in time of need.
