_Praise for Salvation._ (529)
We praise thee, O G.o.d! for the Son of thy love, For Jesus who died, and is now gone above.
Cho.--Hallelujah! thine the glory, Hallelujah! Amen.
Hallelujah! thine the glory, Revive us again.
2 We praise thee, O G.o.d! for thy Spirit of light, Who has shown us our Savior, and scattered our night.
3 All glory and praise to the Lamb that was slain, Who has borne all our sins, and has cleansed ev"ry stain.
4 All glory and praise to the G.o.d of all grace, Who has bought us, and sought us, and guided our ways.
5 Revive us again; fill each heart with thy love; May each soul be rekindled with fire from above.

_Rejoicing in Christ._
Rejoice and be glad the Redeemer has come!
Go look on his cradle, his cross and his tomb.
Cho.--Sound his praises, tell the story, Of him who was slain, Sound his praises, tell with gladness, He liveth again.
2 Rejoice and be glad: for the blood has been shed; Redemption is finished, the price has been paid.
3 Rejoice and be glad: for the Lamb that was slain, O"er death is triumphant, and liveth again.
4 Rejoice and be glad: for our King is on high; He pleadeth for us on his throne in the sky.
5 Rejoice and be glad: for he cometh again-- He cometh in glory, the Lamb that was slain.
H. Bonar, 1874.

_Going on to Perfection._
I hear thy welcome voice That calls me, Lord, to thee For cleansing in thy precious blood That flowed on Calvary.
Cho.--I am coming, Lord!
Coming now to thee!
Wash me, cleanse me, in the blood That flowed on Calvary.
2 Tho" coming weak and vile, Thou dost my strength a.s.sure; Thou dost my vileness fully cleanse, Till spotless all and pure.
3 "Tis Jesus calls me on To perfect faith and love, To perfect hope, and peace, and trust, For earth and heaven above.
4 "Tis Jesus who confirms The blessed work within, By adding grace to welcomed grace, Where reigned the power of sin.
6 And he the witness gives To loyal hearts and free, That every promise is fulfilled, If faith but brings the plea.
6 All hail, atoning blood!
All hail, redeeming grace!
All hail, the gift of Christ, our Lord, Our strength and righteousness!
Rev. L. Hartsough.

_Christ the Guide and Counselor._ (688)
Jesus, my truth, my way, My sure, unerring light, On thee my feeble steps I stay, Which thou wilt guide aright.
2 My wisdom and my guide, My counselor thou art; Oh, never let me leave thy side, Or from thy paths depart.
3 Never will I remove Out of thy hands my cause; But rest in thy redeeming love, And hang upon thy cross.
4 Oh, make me all like thee, Before I hence remove; Settle, confirm, and "stablish me-- And build me up in love.
Charles Wesley.

_Loving Kindness._ (699)
Awake, my soul, to joyful lays, And sing thy great Redeemer"s praise; He justly claims a song from me, His loving kindness, oh, how free!
2 He saw me ruined in the fall, Yet loved me notwithstanding all; He saved me from my lost estate-- His loving kindness, oh, how great!
3 Though numerous hosts of mighty foes-- Though earth and h.e.l.l my way oppose; He safely leads my soul along-- His loving kindness, oh, how strong!
4 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud, Has gathered thick and thundered loud, He near my soul has always stood-- His loving kindness, oh, how good!
S. Medley, 1787.
