Lost in wonder, love, and praise ! HYMN 386. l, h. 1 A RM of the Lord, awake, awake ! -^"*- Thine own immortal strength put on ! With terror clothed, hell's kingdom shake, And cast thy foes with fury down ! 2 As in the ancient days appear ; The sacred annals speak thy fame : Be now omnipotently near, To endless ages still the same o/U Seeking for fu II Redemption . 3 Thy arm, Lord, is not shorten 'd now ; Jt wants not now the power to save ; Still present with thy people, thou Bear'st them through life's disparted wave. 4 By death and hell pursued in vain, To thee the ransom'd seed shall come ; Shouting, their heavenly Sion gain, And pass through death triumphant home. 5 The pain of life shall there he o'er, The anguish and distracting care ; There sighing grief shall weep no more, And sin shall never enter there. 6 Where pure, essential joy is found, The Lord's redeem'd their heads shall raise, With everlasting gladness crown'd, And hll'd with love, and lost in praise. HYMN 387. s. m. PRISONERS of hope, arise, And see your Lord appear : Lo ! on the wings of love he flies, And brings redemption near. Redemption in his blood He calls you to receive : " Look unto me, the pardoning God ; Believe," he cries, " believe !" 2 The reconciling word We thankfully embrace ; Rejoice in our redeeming Lord, A blood-besprinkled race. Seeking for full Redemption. 371 We yield to be set free ; Thy counsel we approve ; Salvation, praise, ascribe to thee, And glory in thy love. 3 Jesus, to thee we look, Till saved from sin's remains ; Reject the inbred tyrant's yoke, And cast away his chains. Our nature shall no more O'er us dominion have ; By faith we apprehend the power Which shall for ever save ! HYMN 388. l. m. 1 f\ THAT my load of sin were gone ! ^^ O that 1 could at last submit At Jesu's feet to lay it down, To lay my soul at Jesu's feet ! 2 When shall mine eyes behold the Lamb ? The God of my salvation see ? Weary, O Lord, thou know'st I am ; Yet still I cannot come to thee.
