 1 ALAS? aiid did my Saviour bleed! 
 
 And did my Sovereign die ! 
 Would he devote that sacred head 
 For such a worm as I ? 
 
 2 Was it for crimes that I. have done, 
 
 He groaned upon tiie tree? 
 Amazing pity I grace uidcnown ! 
 And love beyond degree I 
 
 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide 
 
 And shut his glories in,

 When Christ, the mighty Maker, died 
 For man, the crealure's sin. 
 
 4 Thus mi^rht I hide my blushing face, 
 
 While his ileur cross appears; 
 Diesolve my heart in thankfuhiess, 
 And melt my eyes to tears. 
 
 5 But drops ol't;riet can ne'er repay 
 
 1'he debt of love I owe ; 
 Here, Lerd, I give myself away, 
 'Tis all that I can do. 
 Y L. M. 
 
 1 WHEN I survey the wondrous croefl, 
 
 On which the Prince of glory died, 
 My richest g vin I count but loss, 
 And pour contempt on all my pride,

 Save in the death a-:'"C'hrist, my God; 
 All the vain things that charm me 
 most, 
 I sacrifice them to his blood. 
 
 3 See, Irom his head, hie hands, liis feet, 
 
 Sorrow and love flow mingled down; 
 Did e'er such lo' e and sorrow meet, 
 Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 
 
 4 Wore all the realm of nature mine,| 
 
 That were a. present far too small ; 
 Love so amazing, so divine, 
 
 Demands my soul, my life, my all.

 Till Jesus made nie whole! 
 There is but one Phyaician 
 
 Can cure a sin-sick soul. 
 Kext door to death he found me. 
 
 And snatched me from the grav 
 To tell to all around me 
 
 His wondrous power to save. 
 
 From men great skill professing, 
 
 I thought a cure to gain; 
 But tliis proved more distressing, 
 
 And added to my pain. 
 Some said that nothing ailed me : 
 
 Some gave me up for lost : 
 Thus every refuge failed >ne, 
 
 And all my hopes were crossed. 
 
 At length, this great Physician — 
 
 How matchless is his grace ! 
 Accepted my petition, 
 
 And undertook my case ; 
 First gave me sight to view liim,- 
 
 For sin my eyes had settled, — 
 Then bade me look unto him : 
 
 I looked, and I was healed. 
 
19 
 
 4 A dying, risen Jesus, 
 
 Seen by the eye of faith, 
 At once from danger (ree8 us. 
 
 And .saves the soul from death.

 He makes no hard condition; 
 'Tis onlv, Look and live.

 In agonies and blood; 
 He lixed his languid eyes on me,

 Shall I iorget that look ; 
 It seemed to charge me with !»is death. 
 Though not -.i word^he spoke. 
 
 4 My conscience felt and owned theguil I; 
 
 It plunged me in despair; 
 I saw my sins his blood had spilt, 
 And helped to nail him there.

 "I freely all lb: give;

 The mysteries that we speak 
 Are scandal in the Jews' esteem, 
 And folly to the Greek.

 "^Vith joy receiv^e the word ; 
 They see what wisdom, power, and love 
 Shine in their dying Lord.

 Restores their fainting breath ; 
 But unbelief perverts the same 
 To guilt, despair, and dealh.

 1 DISMISS us with thy blessing, Lord, 
 Help us to feed upon thy word; 
 
 All that has been amiss, forgive, 
 And let thy tj'uth within us live. 
 
 2 Thongli we are guilty, thou art good; 
 Wash all our hearts in Jesus' blood ; 
 <Hve every fetteied soul release, 
 And bid us all depart in peace.
