3 What peaceful hours I then enjoyed! 4 Return, O Holy Dove! return I hate the sins that made thee mourn, 5 The dearest idol I have known, Help me to tear it from thy throne, 6 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame; 54 So purer light shall mark the road C. M. Sufferings of Christ. ALAS! and did my Savior bleed! Would he devote that sacred head 2 Thy body slain, sweet Jesus, thine, 3 Was it for crimes that I had done, 4 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When God, the mighty Maker, died, 5 Thus I might hide my blushing face, 6 But drops of grief can ne'er repay 55 Here, Lord, I give myself away; H. M. Made nigh by blood. RISE my soul, arise, Shake off thy guilty fears, The bleeding sacrifice In my behalf appears; Before the throne my surety stands, 2 He ever lives above, For me to intercede His all-redeeming love, His precious blood to plead; His blood atoned for all our race, And sprinkles now the throne of grace 3 Five bleeding wounds he bears, Received on Calvary, They pour effectual prayers, They strongly speak for me: Nor let that ransomed sinner die. 4 The Father hears him pray: The presence of his Son; 5 My God is reconcil'd, 56 His pardoning voice I hear; With confidence I now draw nigh P.

ROOPING saints no longer grieve If in Christ you do believe You will find Him precious; Calling mourners to him; 2 From his hands, his feet and side Boundless as the ocean; 3 Streaming mercy how it flows Half has never yet been told I was lost but now am found, 4 Glory to my Savior's name, Feel it, and declare it ; 58 In this pure religion. Heaven's here, and heaven's there, TIS P. M. IS a point I long to know, Do I love the Lord, or no? 2 If I love, why am I thus? Why this dull, this lifeless frame? 3 Lord, decide the doubtful case! 4 Let me love thee more and more, If I love at all, I pray; If I have not loved before, |
