350 Call d us by his grace, and taught us, Gave us ears, and gave us eyes : He has wash d us with his blood, He presents our souls to God.

3 Let us sing, though fierce temptation Threaten hard to bear us down ! For the Lord, our strong salvation, Holds in view the conq ror s crown : He, who wash d us with his blood, Soon will bring us home to God.

4 Let us wonder, grace and justice Join, and point to mercy s store ; When through grace in Christ our trust is, Justice smiles, and asks no more: He who wash d us with his blood Has secured our way to God.

5 Let us praise, and join the chorus Of the saints enthroned on high ; Here they trusted him before us, Now their praises fill the sky : &quot; Thou hast wash d us with thy blood, Thou art worthy, Lamb of God!

6 Hark! the name of Jesus sounded Loud from golden harps above ! Lord, we blush, and are confounded, Faint our praises, cold our love! Wash our souls and songs with blood, For by thee we come to God.

1 WINTER has a joy for me While the Saviour s charms I read, Lowly, meek, from blemish free, In the snow-drop s pensive head.

2 Spring returns, and brings along Life-invigorating suns : Hark! the turtle s plaintive song Seems to speak his dying groans!
