5 The things that were not, His mercy bids live ;
His mercy un bought We freely receive ;
His gracious compassion We thankfully prove,
And all our salvation Ascribe to his love.
For Believers Hejoicing. Mi
* HYMN 213. c. m.
1 A/fY God, the spring of all my joys,
.It A The life of my delights,
The glory of my brightest days,
And comfort of my nights !
2 In darkest shades, if thou appear,
My dawning is begun :
Thou art my soul's bright morning star,
And thou my rising sun.
3 The op'ning heavens around me shine,
With beams of sacred bliss,
If Jesus shows his mercy mine,
And whispers I am his.
4 My soul would leave this heavy clay
At that transporting word ;
Run up with joy the shining way,
To see and praise my Lord.
5 Fearless of hell and ghastly death,
I 'd break through every foe ;
The wings of love, and arms of faith,
Would bear me conqu'ror through.
HYMN 214. c. m.
1 HPALK with us, Lord, thyself reveal,
-*- While here o'er earth we rove ;
Speak to our hearts, and let us feel
The kindling of thy love.
2 With thee conversing, we forget
All time, and toil, and care ;
Labour is rest, and pain is sweet,
If thou, my God, art here.
3 Here then, my God, vouchsafe to stay,
And bid my heart rejoice ;
20b For Relievers Rejoicing.
My bounding heart shall own thy sway
And echo to thy voice.
4 Thou callest me to seek thy face ;
'Tis all I wish to seek ;
To' attend the whispers of thy grace,
And hear thee inly speak
5 Let this my every hour employ,
Till I thy glory see ;
Enter into my Master's joy,
And find my heaven in thee.
HYMN 215. Ts$&s.
1 /~* LORIOUS Saviour of my soul,
^J I lift it up to thee ;
Thou hast made the sinner whole,
Hast set the captive free !
Thou my debt of death hast paid ;
Thou hast raised me from my fall ;
Thou hast full atonement made :
My Saviour died for all.
2 What could my Redeemer move
To leave his Father's breast ?
Pity drew him from above,
And would not let him rest :
Swift to succour sinking man,
