A remedy for every wound,
Or mortal pain that can be found.
3 This is the Saviour long foretold,
Hear him, ye deaf; ye blind, behold!
He's come to make his grace abound,
As far as sin, or death is found.
4 No sigh, nor groan, the world shall hear,
He wipes away the falling tear;
He breaketh darkness' pow'rful chain,
And peace eternally shall reign,
5 No more on earth shall discord rise,
Nor warriors meet with hateful eyes!
Their pointed weapons shall no more
Be reaking with the crimson gore!
6 Long as the sun shall gild the morn,
Or moon shall fill her silver horn,
Or life, or being, shall remain,
So long Messiah's love shall reign. KNEELAND.
The Brightness of God's Glory.
WHAT dazzling light
Beaming refulgent from the east
Celestial splendour through all climes,
And makes each child of sorrow blest?
2 It is the Sun of Righteousness,
The brightness of the great I AM !
In him Jehovah manifests
His mercy, love, and grace to man.
3 He made, from darkness, light to shine;
So in each heart of Adam's race
He beams the light of life divine,
And comforts all its deep distress.
4 Immortal Radiance of Life !
In brighter flames of brilliance move
Till all are turn'd from sin and strife
To sing the deathless song of love. S. STREETER.
And I hope, by thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home:
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wand'ring from the fold of God;
He, to save my soul from danger,
Interpos'd with precious blood.
3 O! to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrain'd to be!
Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,
Bind my wand'ring heart to thee!
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it;
Prone to leave the God I love-
Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it;
Seal it from thy courts above.

Gospel Invitation.
ET ev'ry mortal ear attend,
And ev'ry heart rejoice;
The trumpet of the gospel sounds
With an inviting voice.
2 Rivers of love and mercy here
In a rich ocean join;
Salvation in abundance flows,
Like floods of milk and wine.
3 The happy gates of gospel grace
Stand open night and day;
Lord, we are come to seek supplies,
And drive our wants away.
HYMN 101. L. M.
FROM Jesse's root a branch did rise,
Whose fragrance fills the lofty skies;
Which spreads its leaves from pole to pole,
A healing balm for every soul.
2 The sick, the weak, the halt, the blind,
In him do aid and comfort find,
A remedy for every wound,
Or mortal pain that can be found.
3 This is the Saviour long foretold,
Hear him, ye deaf; ye blind, behold!
He's come to make his grace abound,
As far as sin, or death is found.
4 No sigh, nor groan, the world shall hear,
He wipes away the falling tear;
He breaketh darkness' pow'rful chain,
And peace eternally shall reign,
5 No more on earth shall discord rise,
Nor warriors meet with hateful eyes!
Their pointed weapons shall no more
Be reaking with the crimson gore!
6 Long as the sun shall gild the morn,
Or moon shall fill her silver horn,
Or life, or being, shall remain,
So long Messiah's love shall reign. KNEELAND.

Beaming refulgent from the east

Unto me every knee shall bow, &c.
xiv. 11. Phillip. ii. 10, 11.
H' unchangeable Jehovah saith,
by myself, have truly sworn;
The word's gone forth in righteousness,
Nor shall the sacred word return:
2 That every knee, above, below,
Shall humbly bow before my throne:
And every soul my truth shall know-
In me they've life and strength alone:
3 That every tongue shall loudly sing,
To Jesus Christ, the living Lord;
And make the highest arches ring
In praises of the faithful Word.
4 Thus shall my name be glorify'd,
By all in earth and heav'n above;
In me shall every soul confide,
And taste the streams of heav'nly love. KNEELAND.

The Blessings of the Gospel. Matt. xi. 5.
HAT glorious tidings do I hear
From my Redeemer's tongue!
I can no longer silence bear;
I'll burst into a song;
2 The blind receive their sight again,
The lame can walk abroad;
The foulest leper's washed clean,
The deaf can hear the word.
3 The dead are rais'd to life anew,
By renovating grace;
The glorious gospel's preach'd to you,
The poor of Adam's race.
4 O, wond'rous type of things divine,
When Christ displays his love,
To raise from wo the sinking mind,
To reign in realms above.
5 Employ, my soul, thy noblest pow'rs,
In praising Christ the Lamb;
There ne'er was grace like this before-
Hosanna to his name!

The Gospel Mission. Mark. xvi. 15, 16.
Go, saith a risen Saviour, go,
My gospel preach to all;
Let the most distant nations know,
And hear, my gracious call.
2 Proclaim aloud my gospel free,
And every creature teach;
That they may my salvation see,
My gospel faithful preach.
3 The blest effects then you shall see
In them who do believe;
Their souls, from sin and death set free,
By faith in me shall live.
4 For want of faith in them that hear,
The word is not receiv'd;
From sin, and death, and every fear,
Their souls are not reliev'd.
The Message of the Angels to the Shepherds.
HAT sudden glories did surprise
Shepherds who watch'd their fold!
A heavenly form salutes their eyes,
Array'd in shining gold!
2 'Twas night, and gloomy darkness hung
Over the lands afar;
Shepherds in pensive numbers sung,
Or watch'd the twinkling star.
3 Deep musing on the prophecies Of glories then to come;
