351 HYMNS.
To God, the Spirit, who applies
The Lamb’s atoning sacrifice.
2 To the Eternal, equal Three,
The undivided One,
Let saints and angels both agree
To give the praise alone :
In earth, in heav’n, by all ador’d.
The Holy, Holy, Holy Lord.

Prepared to meet with Persecution. 2 Tim. i
1 t""1 REAT Leader of thine Isra’l’s host,
We shout thy conqu’ring name;
Legions of foes beset thee round.
And legions fled with shame.
2 A vict’ry glorious and complete
Thou by thy death didst gain;
So in thy cause may we contend.
And death itself sustain!
3 By our illustrious Gen’ral fir’d.
We no extremes would fear ;
Prepar’d to struggle and to bleed.
If thou, our Lord, be near.
4 We’ll trace the footsteps thou hast drawn
To triumph and renown ;
Nor shun thy combat and thy cross,
May we but share thy crown.
