Hap-py the man to whom his God No more im-putes his sin, But, washed in the Re-deem-er's blood, Hath made his gar-ments clean!

Hear the dy-ing Sav-ior cry; Hear the dy-ing Sav-ior cry; "It is fin-ished!" O what plea-sure Do these pre-ciou... Read More

He who would val-iant be 'gainst all dis-as-ter, Let him in con-stan-cy fol-low the Mas-ter. There's no dis-cour-age-ment shall make him once re-lent His first a-vowed in-tent to be a pil-grim. Who so be-set him round with dis-mal sto-ries, Do but them-selves con-found—his strength the more is. No f... Read More

How doth the lit-tle bus-y bee Im-prove each shin-ing hour, And gath-er hon-ey all the day From ev-ery open-ing flower! How skill-ful-ly she builds her cell! How neat-ly spreads the wax!

How firm a foun-da-tion, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His ex-cel-lent Word! What more can He say than to you He hath said, To you who for re-fuge to Je-sus have fled?

I greet Thee, who my sure Re-deem-er art, My on-ly trust and Sav-ior of my heart, Who pain didst un-der-go for my poor sake; I pray Thee from our hearts all cares to take.
