Th'injustice, Satan, lies with thee;
And God rebukes thy lie;
In his behalf I urge this plea-
That for him I did die.

Prove that I never bore his sin,
Nor suffer'd to atone,

Then thou canst bring him guilty in:
But he's my flesh and bone.

Written with iron pens in blood
On Jesu's hands and side,
There's a receipt fil'd on the wood
Where Christ was crucified.

XXIX.

Rev. i. 18.

CROWNS of glory ever bright
Rest upon the victor's head:
Crowns of glory are his right,
His "who liveth and was dead."

Jesus fought, and won the day
Such a day was never fought :
Well His people now may say,

See! what God, our God, has wrought.

He subdued the powers of hell;
In the fight he stood alone:
All his foes before him fell,
By his single arm o'erthrown.

Now proclaim His deeds afar,
Fill the world with His renown;
His alone the Victor's car,
His the everlasting crown.

XXX.

Rev. vii. 10.

SALVATION! oh the joyful sound,
What pleasure to our ears,
A sovereign balm for every wound,
A cordial for our fears.

CHORUS.

Glory, honour, praise and power, Be unto the Lamb for ever, Jesus Christ is our Redeemer, Hallelujah, praise ye the Lord.

"Salvation let the echo fly,

The spacious earth around,
'While all the armies of the sky,
Conspire to raise the sound.
Cho.-Glory, honour, &c.

Salvation! oh thou bleeding Lamb,
To thee the praise belongs;
Salvation shall inspire our hearts,
And dwell upon our tongues.
Cho.-Glory, honour, &c.

XXXI.

Is. xliii. 11,

SALVATION is of God alone,
The glorious plan is all his own;
In love he formed the great design,
And here his grace and wisdom shine.

Salvation is of God alone,

One only victim could atone,
For human guilt, that victim He,
Who holds with God equality.

Salvation is of God alone,

"Tis he who breaks the heart of stone; Who makes self-righteous boast to cease, And gives the troubled conscience peace.

Salvation is of God alone,

Tis he who leads his people on;
And to his name the praise be given,
By saints on earth and saints in heaven.

XXXII.

I Cor. i. 24.

SALVATION! what a glorious plan!
How suited to our need!

The

grace that raises fallen man

Is wonderful indeed!

"Twas Wisdom form'd the vast design,
To ransom us when lost;
And Love's unfathomable mine
Provided all the cost.

Strict Justice, with approving look,
The holy cov❜nant seal'd:
And Truth, and Power undertook
The whole should be fulfill'd.

Truth, Wisdom, Justice, Pow'r, and Love,
In all their glory shone;
When Jesus left the courts above,

And died to save his own.

Truth, Wisdom, Justice, Pow'r and Love,

Are equally display'd:

Now Jesus reigns enthron'd above,

Our Advocate and Head,

Now sin appears deserving death, Most hateful and abhorr'd; And yet the sinner lives by faith, And dares approach the Lord.

XXXIII.

Rom. iv. 16.

SALVATION by grace,

How charming the song!
With Seraphim join
The theme to prolong:
'Twas plann'd by Jehovah,
In council above,
Who to everlasting

Shall rest in his love.

This cov❜nant of grace

All blessings secures;
Believers, rejoice,

For all things are yours;
And God from his purpose

Shall never remove,

But love thee, and bless thee,
And rest in his love.
