The man who on thy love depends ;
Watches every number' d hair,
And all his steps attends.
3 Who can sound the depths unknown
Of thy redeeming grace ?
Grace, that gave thine only Son
To save a ruin'd race !
Millions of transgressors poor
Thou hast for Jesu's sake forgiven ;
Made them of thy favour sure,
And snatch'd from hell to heaven.
4 Millions more thou ready art
To save, and to forgive !
Every soul and every heart
Of man thou would 'st receive :
Father, now accept of mine,
Which now, through Christ, I offer thee;
Tell me now, in love divine,
That thou hast pardon' d me !
For Believers Rejoicing. 2oJ
HYMN 246. l. m.
J A /TY soul, through my Redeemer's care,
IV A Saved from the second death I feel,
My eyes from tears of dark despair,
My feet from falling into hell.
2 Wherefore to him my feet shall run ;
My eyes on his perfections gaze ;
My soul shall live for God alone ;
And all within me shout his praise.
HYMN 247. L. m.
1 TTOLY as thou, O Lord, is none !
A A Thy holiness is all thy own ;
A drop of that unbounded sea
Is ours, a drop derived from thee.
2 And when thy purity we share,
Thy only glory we declare ;
And, humbled into nothing, own
Holy and pure is God alone !
3 Sole, self-existing God and Lord,
By all thy heavenly hosts adored ;
Let all on earth bow down to thee,
And own thy peerless majesty :
4 Thy power unparallel'd confess,
Establish'd on the Rock of Peace ;
The Rock that never shall remove,
The Rock of pure, almighty Love !
HYMN 248. c. m.
1 T3LEST be our everlasting Lord,
■D Our Father, God, and King !
Thy sovereign goodness we record,
Thy glorious power we sing.
Z*±\) For Believers Rejoicing,
2 i$y thee the victory is given ;
The majesty divine,
And strength, and might, and earth, and heaven,
And all therein, are thine.
3 Thy kingdom, Lord, is thine alone,
Who dost thy right maintain,
And, high on thine eternal throne,
O'er men and angels reign.
4 Riches, as seemeth good to thee,
Thou dost, and honour, give ;
And Kings their power and dignity
Out of thy hand receive.
