Ye happy souls, draw near,
Behold your Saviour's face :
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home.
6 Jesus, our great High Priest,
Has full atonement made:
Ye weary spirits rest,

Ye mournful souls be glad :
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home.

HYMN 32. First Part. C. M.

How

Gratitude.

WOW can I sink with such a prop
As my eternal God,

Who bears the earth's huge pillars up,
And spreads the heav'ns abroad?

2 How can I die while Jesus lives,
Who rose and left the dead?
Pardon and grace my soul receives,
From mine exalted head.

3 All that I am, and all I have,
Shall be forever thine!

Whate'er my duty bids me give,
My cheerful hands resign.

4 Yet if I might make some reserve,
And duty did not call,

I love my God with zeal so great,
That I would give him all.

HYMN 32. Second Part. L. M.
Saved by grace, we must still do good works.
10 let our lips and lives express
The holy gospel we profess;

So let our works and virtues shine,
To prove the doctrine all divine.

2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad,
The honours of our Saviour God;
When the salvation reigns within,
And grace subdues the pow'r of sin:
3 Our flesh and sense must be denied,
Passions and envy, lust and pride;
While justice, temp'rance, truth and love,
Our inward piety approve.

4 Religion bears our spirits up,

1

While we expect that blessed hope,
The bright appearance of the Lord;
And faith stands leaning on his word.
HYMN 32. Third Part. C. M.
Elected to Holiness.

HOW

JOW vast the benefits divine,
Which we in Christ possess !
We're sav'd from guilt and ev'ry sin,

And call'd to holiness.

2 'Tis not for works which we have done,
Or shall hereafter do ;
But he, of his electing love,
Salvation doth bestow.

3 The glory, Lord, from first to last,
Is due to thee alone :

Aught to ourselves we dare not take,
Ör rob thee of thy crown.

4 Our glorious Surety undertook
Redemption's wondrous plan;
And grace was given us in him
Before the world began.

5 Safe in the arms of sov'reign love
We ever shall remain ;

Nor shall the rage of earth or hell.
Make thy dear counsels vain.

6 Not one of all the chosen race

1

But shall to heav'n attain,

Partake on earth the purpos'd grace,
And then with Jesus reign.

T

HYMN 32. Fourth Part. C. M.
Love to Christ desired.

HOU lovely source of true delight,
Whom I unseen adore,

Unveil thy beauties to my sight;
That I may love thee more.
2 Thy glory o'er creation shines;
But in thy sacred word

I read, in fairer, brighter lines,
My bleeding, dying Lord.

3 'Tis here, whene'er my comforts droop, And sin and sorrow rise,

Thy love, with cheerful beams of hope,
My fainting breath supplies.

4 But ah! too soon the pleasing scene
Is clouded o'er with pain;

My gloomy fears rise dark between,
And I again complain.

5 O may my soul with rapture trace
The wonders of thy love!

But the full glories of thy face
Are only known above.

HYMN 33. First Part. C. M.
Conversion.

1 NOT the malicious or profane,

The wanton or the proud,

Nor thieves, nor sland'rers, shall obtain
The kingdom of our God.

2 Surprising grace! and such were we By nature and by sin;

Heirs of immortal misery,
Unholy and unclean.

3 But we are wash'd in Jesus' blood,
We're pardon'd thro' his name;
And the good Spirit of our God
Hath sanctified our frame.
4 O for a persevering pow'r,

To keep thy just commands !
We would defile our hearts no more,
No more pollute our hands.

HYMN 33. Second Part. S. M.

Death of sin.

SHALL we go on to sin,
Because thy grace abounds?

Or crucify the Lord again,

And open all his wounds? 2 Forbid it, mighty God! Nor let it e'er be said, That we, whose sins are crucified, Should raise them from the dead. 3 We shall be slaves no more,

Since Christ hath made us free; Has nail'd our tyrants to his cross, And bought our liberty.

'L

HYMN 33. Third Part. C. M.
Conversion and Faith.

ORD, we adore thy matchless ways
In bringing souls to thee ;

We sing and shout eternal praise,
For grace so full and free.

2 "What must I do," the jailer cries,
"To save my sinking soul?
"Believe in Christ," the word replies,
"Thy faith shall make thee whole."

3 Our works are all the works of sin,
Our nature quite deprav'd;
Jesus alone can make us clean:

By grace are sinners sav'd.

4 "Believe, believe," the gospel cries,
"This is the living way:"

From faith in Christ our hopes arise,
And shine to perfect day.

5 Come, sinners, then, the Saviour trust,
To wash you in his blood;

1

To change your hearts, subdue your lust,
And bring you home to God.

HYMN 33. Fourth Part. L. M.
Christ our strength.

LET me but hear my Saviour say,
Strength shall be equal to thy day;

Then I rejoice in deep distress,
Leaning on all-sufficient grace.

2 I glory in infirmity,

That Christ's own pow'r may rest on me;
When I am weak, then am I strong,
Grace is my shield, and Christ my song.
3 I can do all things, or can bear

All suff'rings, if my Lord be there ;
Sweet pleasures mingle with the pains,
While his left hand my head sustains.
4 But if the Lord be once withdrawn,
And we attempt the work alone,
When new temptations spring and rise,
We find how great our weakness is.
