“O make it true, my Saviour God;
Raise me all fears above;
And when I think on Jesus’ blood,
Let my last pulse beat love.”

_______________

“O for an overcoming faith,
To cheer my dying hours;
To triumph o’er the monster Death,
And all his frightful powers.

“Joyful, with all the strength I have,
My quivering lips should sing,
’Where is thy boasted victory, Grave,
And where the monster’s sting?’

“If sin be pardoned, I’m secure;
Death has no sting beside;
The law gives sin its damning power,
But Christ, my Ransom, died.

“Now to the God of victory,
Immortal thanks be paid;
Who makes us conquerors while we die,
Through Christ, our living Head.”

_______________

All mortal vanities be gone,
Nor tempt mine eyes, nor tire mine ears;
Behold, amidst the eternal throne,
A vision of the Lamb appears.

All the assembling saints around,
Fall worshipping before the Lamb;
And in new songs of gospel sound,
Address their honors to his name.

Our voices join the heavenly strain,
And with transporting pleasure sing,
Worthy the Lamb that once was slain,
Our blessed Prophet, Priest, and King.

Thou hast redeemed our souls from hell,
With thine invaluable blood;
And wretches, that did once rebel,
Are now made fav’rites of their God.

Worthy for ever is the Lord,
That died for treasons not his own,
By every tongue to be adored,
And dwell upon his Father’s throne.

THE NEW TESTAMENT IN THE BLOOD OF CHRIST.

“The promise of my Father’s love,
Shall stand for ever good;
He said, and gave his soul to death,
And sealed it with his blood.

“To this dear covenant of thy word,
I set my worthless name;
I seal the engagement of the Lord,
And make my humble claim.

“The light, and strength, and pardoning grace,
And glory shall be mine;
My life and soul, my heart and flesh,
And all my powers are thine.

“I call that legacy mine own,
Which Jesus did bequeath;
’Twas purchased with a dying groan,
And ratified in death.

“Sweet is the memory of His name,
Who blessed us in his will: 
And to his testament of love
Made his own life the seal.

“To him that washed me in his blood,
Be everlasting praise;
Salvation, honor, glory, power,
Eternal as his days.”

_______________

“Blest be the Father, and his love,
To which celestial source we owe
Rivers of endless joys above,
And rills of comfort here below.

“Glory to the great Son of God;
From his dear wounded body rolls
A precious stream of vital blood,
Pardon and life for dying souls.

“We give thee, sacred Spirit, praise,
Who in our hearts of sin and woe
Mak’st living springs of grace arise,
And into boundless glory flow.
