' » Why hangs he then on yonder tree ? What means that strange expiring cry ? (Sinners, he prays for you and me :) " Forgive them, Father, O forgive: They know not that by me they live ! " 2 Adam descended from .above, Our loss of Eden to retrieve, Great God of universal love, If all the world through thee may live, In us a quick'ning Spirit be, And witness thou hast died for me ! 3 Thou loving, all-atoning Lamb, Thee -- by thy painful agony, Thy bloody sweat, thy grief and shame, Thy cross, and passion on the tree, Thy precious death and life -- I pray, Take all, take all my sins away ! 4 O let me kiss thy bleeding feet, And bathe and wasli them with my tears; The Goodness of God. o7 The story of thy love repeat In every drooping sinner's ears ; That all may hear the quick 'ning sound, Since I, even I, have mercy found ! 0 let thy love my heart constrain, Thy love for every sinner free ; That every fallen soul of man May taste the grace that found out me ; That all mankind with me may prove Thy sovereign, everlasting love ! HYMN 34. 4-6's §• 2-8Y 1 ET earth and heaven agree, -■-^ Angels and men be join'd, To celebrate with me The Saviour of mankind ; To' adore the all-atoning Lamb, And bless the sound of Jesu's Name. 2 Jesus, transporting sound ! The joy of earth and heaven ; No other help is found, No other name is given, By which we can salvation have ; But Jesus came the world to save. 3 Jesus, harmonious Name ! It charms the hosts above ; They evermore proclaim And wonder at his love ; 'Tis all their happiness to gaze : 'Tis heaven to see our Jesu's face. 4 His name the sinner hears, And is from sin set free ; 'Tis music in his ears, 'Tis life and victory : New songs do now his lips employ, And dances his glad heart for joy. 3S The Goodness of God. 5 Stung by the scorpion sin, My poor expiring soul The balmy sound drinks in, And is at once made whole : See there my Lord upon the tree ! I hear, I feel, he died for me
