Free Will Means of Grace Sanctifying Grace
Who shall ascend the heavenly place, And stand upon the mount of God, And see his Maker face to face ? 4 The man whose hands and heart are clean That blessed portion shall receive ; Whoe'er by grace is saved from sin, Hereafter shall in glory live. 5 He shall obtain the starry crown ; And, number' d with the saints above. The God of his salvation own, The God of his salvation love Hymns of Adoration. 535 HYMN 573. s. m Public Worship. 1 OOME, sound his praise abroad, ^-^ And hymns of glory sing ; Jehovah is the sovereign God, The universal King. 2 He form'd the deeps unknown ; He gave the seas their bound ; The watery worlds are all his own, And all the solid ground. 3 Come, worship at his throne ; Come, bow before the Lord : We are his works, and not our own ; He form'd us by his word. 4 To-day attend his voice, Nor dare provoke his rod ; Come, as the people of his choice, And own your gracious God. HYMN 574, 6-8\s. Psalm lxxxiv. 1 TTOW lovely are thy tents, O Lord ! X J. Where'er thou choosest to record Thy name, or place thy house of prayer, My soul outflies the angel -choir, And faints, o'erpower'd with strong desire, To meet thy special presence there. 2 Happy the men to whom 'tis given, To dwell within that gate of heaven, And in thy house record thy praise ; Whose strength and confidence thou art, Who feel thee, Saviour, in their heart. The Wav, the Truth, the Life of grace : 536 Hymns of Adoration. 3 Who, passing through the mournful vale, Drink comfort from the living well, That flows replenish'd from above ; From strength to strength advancing here, Till all before their God appear, And each receives the crown of love, 4 Better a day thy courts within Than thousands in the tents of sin ; How base the noblest pleasures there ! How great the weakest child of thine ! His meanest task is all divine, And kings and priests thy servants are. 5 The Lord protects and cheers his own, Their light and strength, their shield and sun He shall both grace and glory give : Unlimited his bounteous grant ; No real good they e'er shall want ;
