_Praise for Salvation._ (529)

We praise thee, O G.o.d! for the Son of thy love, For Jesus who died, and is now gone above.

Cho.--Hallelujah! thine the glory, Hallelujah! Amen.

Hallelujah! thine the glory, Revive us again.

2 We praise thee, O G.o.d! for thy Spirit of light, Who has shown us our Savior, and scattered our night.

3 All glory and praise to the Lamb that was slain, Who has borne all our sins, and has cleansed ev'ry stain.

4 All glory and praise to the G.o.d of all grace, Who has bought us, and sought us, and guided our ways.

5 Revive us again; fill each heart with thy love; May each soul be rekindled with fire from above.

Wm. P. Mackay, 1866.

316 Revive Us Again. 10s & 11s.

_Rejoicing in Christ._

Rejoice and be glad the Redeemer has come!

Go look on his cradle, his cross and his tomb.

Cho.--Sound his praises, tell the story, Of him who was slain, Sound his praises, tell with gladness, He liveth again.

2 Rejoice and be glad: for the blood has been shed; Redemption is finished, the price has been paid.

3 Rejoice and be glad: for the Lamb that was slain, O'er death is triumphant, and liveth again.

4 Rejoice and be glad: for our King is on high; He pleadeth for us on his throne in the sky.

5 Rejoice and be glad: for he cometh again-- He cometh in glory, the Lamb that was slain.

H. Bonar, 1874.

317 Welcome Voice. S.M.

_Going on to Perfection._

I hear thy welcome voice That calls me, Lord, to thee For cleansing in thy precious blood That flowed on Calvary.

Cho.--I am coming, Lord!

Coming now to thee!

Wash me, cleanse me, in the blood That flowed on Calvary.

2 Tho' coming weak and vile, Thou dost my strength a.s.sure; Thou dost my vileness fully cleanse, Till spotless all and pure.

3 'Tis Jesus calls me on To perfect faith and love, To perfect hope, and peace, and trust, For earth and heaven above.

4 'Tis Jesus who confirms The blessed work within, By adding grace to welcomed grace, Where reigned the power of sin.

6 And he the witness gives To loyal hearts and free, That every promise is fulfilled, If faith but brings the plea.

6 All hail, atoning blood!

All hail, redeeming grace!

All hail, the gift of Christ, our Lord, Our strength and righteousness!

Rev. L. Hartsough.

318 Welcome Voice. S.M.

_Christ the Guide and Counselor._ (688)

Jesus, my truth, my way, My sure, unerring light, On thee my feeble steps I stay, Which thou wilt guide aright.

2 My wisdom and my guide, My counselor thou art; Oh, never let me leave thy side, Or from thy paths depart.

3 Never will I remove Out of thy hands my cause; But rest in thy redeeming love, And hang upon thy cross.

4 Oh, make me all like thee, Before I hence remove; Settle, confirm, and 'stablish me-- And build me up in love.

Charles Wesley.

319 Loving Kindness. L.M.

_Loving Kindness._ (699)

Awake, my soul, to joyful lays, And sing thy great Redeemer's praise; He justly claims a song from me, His loving kindness, oh, how free!

2 He saw me ruined in the fall, Yet loved me notwithstanding all; He saved me from my lost estate-- His loving kindness, oh, how great!

3 Though numerous hosts of mighty foes-- Though earth and h.e.l.l my way oppose; He safely leads my soul along-- His loving kindness, oh, how strong!

4 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud, Has gathered thick and thundered loud, He near my soul has always stood-- His loving kindness, oh, how good!

S. Medley, 1787.
