One body all in mutual love,

And thou our common Lord.

4 O may my faith each hour derive Thy Spirit with delight;

While death and hell in vain shall strive

This bond to disunite.

5 Thou the whole body wilt present Before thy Father's face!

Nor shall a wrinkle or a spot

Its beauteous form disgrace. Dr. Doddridge.

Christ our Hiding Place.

1 HAIL, sovereign Love, that laid the plan
To save apostate fallen man!
Hail, matchless, free, eternal Grace,
That gave my soul a hiding-place.
2 Against the God that rules the sky
I fought with hand uplifted high;
Despis'd the mention of his grace,
Secure, without a hiding-place.

3 Enwrapt in thick Egyptian night,
And fond of darkness more than light,
Madly I ran the sinful race,

Too proud to seek a hiding-place.
4 But thus th' eternal council ran,
Almighty grace, arrest that man;
I felt my guilty, ruin'd case,
And found I had no hiding-place.
5 Indignant Justice stood in view;
To Sinai's fiery mount I flew ;
But Justice cried, with frowning face,
This mountain is no hiding-place.
6 Ere long a heav'nly voice I heard,
And mercy's angel-form appear'd ;
She led me on, with steadfast pace,
To Jesus, as my hiding-place.

7 On him the tenfold vengeance fell,
That would have sunk a world to hell;
He bore it for the chosen race,

And thus became their hiding-place. 8 A few more rolling suns, at most, Will land me on fair Canaan's coast;

BREWER

There I shall sing the song of grace, Adoring Christ, my hiding-place. 173 C. M. Liverpool 83. Irish 171..

JESUS-Precious to them that believe. 1 Peter ii. 7.

1 JESUS, I love thy charming name, 'Tis music to my ear;

Fain would I sound it out so loud

That earth and heaven might hear.
2 Yes, thou art precious to my soul !
My transport and my trust:
Jewels to thee are gaudy toys,
And gold is sordid dust.

3 All my capacious powers can wish,
In thee doth richly meet;
Nor to my eyes is light so dear,
Nor friendship half so sweet.

4 Thy grace shall dwell upon my heart,
And shed its fragrance there;

The noblest balm of all its wounds,
The cordial of its care.

5 I'll speak the honours of thy name
With my last lab'ring breath;

And, dying, clasp thee in my arms-
The antidote of death.

(2d P.) L. M. Paul's 246.

The blessed JESUS a JEW,*

How is it that thou, being a Jew? &c. John iv, 9.

1 COME, Abra'm's sons, Messiah view, Cloth'd in the body of a JEW

* Sung at the close of a Sermon preached to the Jews, in Church Street, Spitalfields, by Dr. R., on Rom. x. 1.

This Jew, Jehovah Tsidkenu,*
Became the son of Mary too.

2 This Jew, your Ehjeh, the I AM,
Was Isr'el's bleeding Paschal Lamb,
And he their Serpent lifted high,
That none who look to him should die.
3 He by his Cloud all Isr'el led,
All Isr'el with his Manna fed;
He did the Jordan's waves divide,
And land his flock on Canaan's side.

4 This Jew shall say, Come, come, ye bless'd, To others say, Depart, ye curs'd—

And HIM, the heavens-adoring-own Your KING-MESSIAH on his throne.

PAUSE. Coombs's 45.

5 Hear Abra'm, Isaac, Jacob too,
Adore the God, the exalted JEW;
Thus Moses, David, Solomon,

With all the saints around the throne.
6 To him the called tribes shall turn,
Their millions look on him, and mourn;
And all who on his Cross rely,

O happy souls! shall never die.

7 Then praise, O Jacob's favour'd race!
Your Abra'm's God, the God of grace;
Till all the earth, and seas, and skies,
In your enraptur'd concert rise,

IMMANUEL. Matt. i. 23. 1 Tim. iii. 16.

GOD

OD with us! O glorious name!
Let it shine in endless fame:
God and man in Christ unite :-
O, mysterious depth and height!

*The LORD our righteousness. Jer. xxxiii. 6.

2 God with us! Amazing love
Brought him from his courts above;
Now, ye saints, his grace admire,
Swell the song with holy fire.

3 God with us! But tainted not
With the first trangressor's blot;
Yet did he our sins sustain,

Bear the guilt, the curse, the pain. 4 [God with us! O, blissful theme! Let the impious not blaspheme; Jesus shall in judgment sit,

Dooming rebels to the pit.]

5 God with us! O, wond'rous grace!
Let us see him face to face,
That we may Immanuel sing,
As we ought, our God and King.

KING of Saints.

1 COME, ye that love the Saviour's name, And joy to make it known;

The Sov'reign of your heart proclaim,
And bow before his throne.

2 Behold your King, your Saviour, crown'd With glories all divine;

And tell the wond'ring nations round
How bright these glories shine.

3 Infinite power, and boundless grace,
In him unite their rays:
You, that have e'er beheld his face,
Can you forbear his praise?

4 When in his earthly courts we view
The glories of our King,

We long to love as angels do,
And wish like them to sing.

5 And shall we long and wish in vain ?
Lord, teach our songs to rise!
Thy love can animate the strain,
And bid it reach the skies.

6 O, happy period! glorious day!

When heaven and earth shall raise, With all their powers, the raptur'd lay To celebrate thy praise.

STEELE.

176 C. M. Miles's Lane 32. Condescension 116.

Crown Him.

1 BACKSLIDERS, who your misery feel, Attend your Saviour's call;

Return, he'll your backslidings heal;
O, crown him Lord of all!

2 Though crimson sin increase your guilt,
And painful is your thrall;

For broken hearts his blood was spilt;
O, crown him Lord of all!

3 Take with you words, approach his throne,
And low before him fall;
He understands the Spirit's groan;
O, crown him Lord of all!

4 Whoever comes, he'll not cast out,
Although your faith be small:
His faithfulness you cannot doubt;
O, crown him Lord of all!

1 ALL HAIL, the power of Jesus' name! Let angels prostrate fall:

Bring forth the royal diadem,

And crown him Lord of all.

2 [Crown him, ye martyrs of our God, Who from his altar call;

Extol the stem of Jesse's rod,

And crown him Lord of all.]
