WHO 'Tis God that justifies their souls; And mercy, like a mighty stream, 2 Who shall adjudge the saints to hell? Behold him rising from the dead! 4 Shall persecution or distress, Famine, or sword, or nakedness? 5 Faith hath an overcoming power, 6 Not all that men on earth can do, Nor powers on high, nor powers below, Shall cause his mercy to remove, Or wean our hearts from Christ our love. 132 Christ our Righteousness.

M. 1 INFINITE excellence is thine, Thou lovely Prince of grace; Thy uncreated beauties shine With never fading rays. 2 Sinners, from earth's remotest end, To thee their prayers and praise ascend, 3 Millions of happy spirits live From thee they all their bliss receive, 4 Thou art their triumph and their joy; Thy glories will their tongues employ Fawcett. 136 Sinners directed to Calvary.

EAR Saviour, we are thine By everlasting bands: Our names, our hearts, we would resign; Our souls are in thy hands. 2 To thee we still would cleave If millions tempt us Christ to leave, 3 Thy Spirit shall unite Our souls to thee our head; From these abodes of clay; 5 Since Christ and we are one, Why should we doubt or fear? Since he in heaven hath fixed his throne, He'll bring his people there. Doddridge. 139 Christ the Way, the Truth, and the Life. C.
