Christology Justifying Grace Sanctifying Grace
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.
