Which saves from second death;
Sweet to experience day by day
His Spirit's quickening breath;

Whose love can never end;

grace
For all things to depend;

To trust his firm decrees;

That, when my change shall come,
Angels will hover round my bed,
And waft my spirit home.

Behold him and adore,

m 1 THERE is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel's veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.

That fountain in his day;
And there have I, as vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.

mf 3 Dear dying Lamb! thy precious blood Shall never lose its power,

m 1 God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform;

He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.

2 Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill,

He treasures up his bright designs,
And works his sovereign will.

mf 3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.

4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.

m 5 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;

The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.

6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan his work in vain ; mf God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain.

m 1 ENTHRONED on high, Almighty Lord,
The Holy Ghost send down;
Fulfil in us thy faithful word,
And all thy mercies crown.

2 Though on our heads no tongues of fire
Their wondrous powers impart,
Grant, Saviour, what we more desire,
Thy Spirit in our heart.

mf 3 Spirit of life and light and love,
Thy heavenly influence give:
Quicken our souls, born from above,
That we in Christ may live;

4 To our benighted minds reveal
The glories of his grace,

And bring us where no clouds conceal
The brightness of his face;

5 His love within us shed abroad,
Life's ever-springing well,

f Till God in us, and we in God,
In love eternal dwell.

m 1 As, when the Hebrew prophet raised The brazen serpent high,

The wounded looked, and straight were
The people ceased to die,

2 So from the Saviour on the cross
A healing virtue flows;

Who looks to him with lively faith
Is saved from endless woes.

3 For God gave up his Son to death,
So generous was his love,

That all the faithful might enjoy
Eternal life above.

4 Not to condemn the sons of men
The Son of God appeared;
No weapons in his hand are seen,
Nor voice of terror heard.

5 He came to raise our fallen state,
And our lost hopes restore;
c Faith leads us to the mercy-seat,
And bids us fear no more.

Thou didst from heaven come down,
With us of flesh and blood partake,
In all our misery one.

Confessed and borne by thee,

The gall, the curse, the wrath, were thine,
To set thy members free.

mf 4 Ascended now, in glory bright,
Still one with us thou art ;

Thou shalt to wondering worlds display
That thou with us art one.
