But O what condescending ways He takes to teach his heav'nly grace My eyes with joy and wonder see What forms of love he bears for me. [The Angel of the cov'nant stands With his commission in his hands, Sent from his Father's milder throne, To make the great salvation known.] [Great Prophet! let me bless thy name; By thee the joyful tidings came Of wrath appeased, of sins forgiv'n, Of hell subdued, and peace with heav'u.] [My bright Example and my Guide, I would be walking near thy side; O let me never run astray, Nor follow the forbidden way!] [I love my Shepherd, he shall keep My wand'ring soul among his sheep; He feeds his flock, he calls their names, And in his bosom bears the lambs.] [My Surety undertakes my cause, Answering his Father's broken laws: Behold my soul at freedom set, My Surety paid the dreadful debt.] [Jesus, my great High Priest, has died; I seek no sacrifice beside; His blood did once for all atone, And now it pleads before the throne.] [My Advocate appears on high, The Father lays his thunder by; Not all that earth or hell can say Shall turn my Father's heart away.] [My Lord, my Conqueror, and my King! Thy sceptre and thy sword I sing; Thine is the vict'ry, and I sit A joyful subject at thy feet.] [Aspire, my soul, to glorious deeds, The Captain of salvation leads; March on, nor fear to win the day, Though death and hell obstruct the way.] [Should death, and hell, and powers unknown, Put all their forms of mischief on, I shall be safe; for Christ displays Salvation in more sovereign ways.] Scripture: Psalm 69 Languages: English

He sinks in floods of deep distress; How high the waters rise! While to his heav'nly Father's ear He sends perpetual cries. "Hear me, O Lord, and save thy Son, Nor hide thy shining face; Why should thy fav'rite look like one Forsaken of thy grace? "With rage they persecute the man That groans beneath thy wound, While for a sacrifice I pour My life upon the ground. "They tread my honor to the dust, And laugh when I complain; Their sharp insulting slanders add Fresh anguish to my pain. "All my reproach is known to thee, The scandal and the shame; Reproach has broke my bleeding heart, And lies defiled my name. "I looked for pity, but in vain; My kindred are my grief: I ask my friends for comfort round, But meet with no relief. "With vinegar they mock my thirst, They give me gall for food; And sporting with my dying groans, They triumph in my blood. "Shine into my distressed soul, Let thy compassions save; And though my flesh sink down to death, Redeem it from the grave. "I shall arise to praise thy name, Shall reign in worlds unknown; And thy salvation, O my God, Shall seat me on thy throne." Scripture: Psalm 69:14-21 Languages: English

His deep distress has raised us high; His duty and his zeal Fulfilled the law which mortals broke, And finished all thy will. His dying groans, his living songs, Shall better please my God Than harp or trumpet's solemn sound, Than goat's or bullock's blood. This shall his humble followers see, And set their hearts at rest They by his death draw near to thee, And live for ever blest. Let heav'n and all that dwell on high To God their voices raise, While lands and seas assist the sky, And join t' advance the praise. Zion is thine, most holy God, Thy Son shall bless her gates; And glory purchased by his blood For thy own Isr'el waits. Scripture: Psalm 69 Languages: English

O for his sake our guilt forgive, And let the mourning sinner live; The Lord will hear us in his name, Nor shall our hope be turned to shame. Scripture: Psalm 69 Languages: English
