’ART. III.] HYMNS.
13 The guilt of twice ten thousand sins
One off’ring takes away ;
And grace, when first the war begins.
Secures the crowning day.
■1 Comfort through all this vale of tears.
In rich profusion flows.
And glory of unnumber’d years
! Eternity bestows.
!5 Drawn by such cords we onward move.
Till round thy throne we meet';
And captives in the chains of love.
Embrace our conqu’ror’s feet.
4H.
Love constraining to Obedience.
11 TJOW long beneath the law I lay
■LA In bondage and distress !
I toil’d the precept to obey.
But toil’d without success.
& Then to abstain from ontward sin
Was more than I could do ;
i. Now, if I feel its pow’r within,
I feel I hate it too.
3 Then all my servile works were done,
A righteousness to raise;
, Now freely chosen in the Son,
I freely choose his ways.
Hi What shall I do, was then the word,
That I may worthier grow ?
j What shall I render to tie Lord ?
Is my inquiry now.
Z To see the law by Christ fulfill’d
And hear his pard’ning voice,
! Changes a slave into a child.
And duty into choice.
