6 I stand, and admire Thine out-stretched arm ;
I walk through the fire, And suffer no harm ;
Assaulted by evil, I scorn to submit;
The world and the devil Fall under my feet.
For Believer's Rejoicing. 1J7
7 I wrestle not now, But trample on sin,
For with me art thou, And shalt be within ;
While stronger and stronger In Jesus's power,
I go on to conquer, Till sin is no more.
HYMN 201. 8's.
1 A ND can it be that I should gain
-^*- An interest in the Saviour's blood ?
Died he for me, who caused his pain ?
For me, who him to death pursued ?
Amazing love ! how can it be,
That thou, my God, should'st die for me !
2 'Tis mystery all ! The' Immortal dies !
Who can explore his strange design !
In vain the first-born Seraph tries
To sound the depths of Love Divine !
'Tis mercy all ; let earth adore,
Let angel-minds inquire no more.
3 He left his Father's throne above ;
(So free, so infinite his grace !)
Emptied himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam's helpless race :
'Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For, O my God, it found out me !
4 Long my imprison'd spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature's night ;
Thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray ;
I woke ; the dungeon flamed with light ;
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and follow'd thee.
5 No condemnation now I dread ;
Jesus, and all in him, is mine !
Alive in him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
Ub For Believers Rejoicing.
Bold I approach the' eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.
HYMN 202. 6's §• 8's.
1 A RISE, my soul, arise,
-f"*- Shake off thy guilty fears ;
The bleeding Sacrifice
In my behalf appears ;
Before the throne my Surety stands ;
My name is written on his hands.
2 He ever lives above,
For me to intercede,
His all-redeeming love,
His precious blood, to plead ;
His blood atoned for all our race,
And sprinkles now the throne of grace.
3 Five bleeding wounds he bears,
Received on Calvary ;
They pour effectual prayers,
