The Way to Heaven. 1 JESUS, my all, to heaven is gone,- 194. S. M. Christ's Intercession. 1 YES, the Redeemer's gone, T'appea, before our God; 2 No fiery vengeance now, No burning wrath comes down; 3 Before his Father's eye Our humble suit he moves; 4 Now may our joyful tongues Jesus, the priest, receives our songs b We bow before his face, And sound his glories high: 5 On earth thy mercy reigns, But, Lord! how weak our mortal strains, 195. L. M. The Dominion of Christ. 1 HAIL to the Prince of life and peace, And sovereign power becomes him weil. 3 Live-live for ever, glorious Lord!

Sublimer anthems near thy throne. H. M. Our High-Priest in Heaven. 1 TH' atoning work is done,The victim's blood is shed; And Jesus now is gone His people's cause to plead : He stands in heaven, their great nigh-priest, And bears their names upon his breast. 2 No temple made with hands His place of service is: In heaven itself he stands, A heavenly priesthood his : Hid from the eyes of men, Their great high-priest again: 197. C. M. Our Great High-Priest. 1 COME, let us join our songs of praise He entered heaven, with all our names 2 Below he washed our guilt away, Now he appears before the throne, 3 Clothed with our nature still, he knows The weakness of our frame, And how to shield us from the foes 4 Nor time, nor distance, e'er shall quench The fervors of his love; For us he died in kindness here, And intercedes above. 5 Oh! may we ne'er forget his grace, Still may our hearts hold fast his faith- HOLY SPIRIT. C. M. 198. Breathing after the Holy Spirit. 1 COME, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove! With all thy quickening powers,— Kindle a flame of sacred love, In these cold hearts of ours. 2 Look-how we grovel here below Our souls can neither fly nor go, 3 In vain we tune our formal songs, Hosannas languish on our tongues, 4 Dear Lord! and shall we ever live 5 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove!

The Spirit grieved. 1 THE Spirit, like a peaceful dove, Flies from the realms of noise and strife Why should we vex and grieve his love, Who seals our souls to heavenly life? 2 Tender and kind be all our thoughts, Through all our lives let mercy run: So God forgives our numerous faults For the dear sake of Christ, his Son. H. M. 202. Pleading the Promise of the Spirit. 1 O THOU that hearest prayer!
