A Hosanna, Jordan's waves shall bear

Hosanna, blazing worlds shall hear,
Hosanna, heaven's arch shall ring,
Eternal praise to-Christ our King.

ANGELIC APOSTACY.

55.

The First Rebellion.
“ The Angels kept not their first estate."

Jude

(L.M.) I WHEN the great Builder arch'd the skies,

And form'd all nature with a word,
The joyful cherubs tun'd his praise,

And ev'ry bending throne ador’d.
2 High in the midst of all the throng,

Satan, a tall Archangel sat;
Among the morning stars he sung,
Till sin destroy'd his heavenly state
'Twas sin that hurled him from his throne, i
Grov'ling in fire the rebel lies,
How art thou sunk in darkness down,
Son of the morning, from the skies?

WAM. 56.

The First Seduction. “ The Serpent beguiled throngh his subtility."

2 Cor. XI. (L. M.)
I WHEN Satan saw his rebel host,

His cause and heaven for ever lost,
Malice and wiath his mind possess'd,
And fury bum'd within his broast.

9 He knew how vain th' attempts to rise,

With impious rage against the skies,
But bent on ill, another way

He turns his arms, and wins the day. 3 'Twas in a dark unguarded hour,

That our first Parents felt his power;
Soft innocence and virtue fell

An easy prey to death and hell.
A Ye sons of God, the tempter fly,

Nor the unequal contest try,
By promised bliss the fiend decoys,
First be allures, and then destroys.

BEDDONL,

HUMAN APOSTACY,

57.

Ruin and Recorery.
“ By one man sin entered into the world.”-

Rom. 5. (C. M.)
1 WHEN Adam sinned, through all his race,

The dire contagion spread,
Sickness and death, and deep disgrace,

Sprang from our fallen head.
Corruption flows through all our veins,

Our moral beauty's gone,
The gold is fled, the dross remains,

Oh sin, what hast thou done?
8 Jesus reveal thy pardoning grace,

And draw our souls to thee,
Thou art the only hiding place,
Where ruined souls can fleeg

BEDDOME

58. The First and Second Adam. “The last Adam was made a quickening spirit.”.

1 Cor. 15. (C. M.)
WITH flowing eyes and bleeding hearts,

A blasted world survey,
See the wide ruin sin hath wrought

In one unhappy day!
2 Adam in God's own image form’d,

From God and bliss estranged, And all the joys of Paradise,

For guilt and horror changed.
3 But, O my soul, with rapture hear,

The Second Alam came,
And the celestial gifts he brings,

To all his seed proclaim.
4 Praise to his rich mysterious grace,

Even by our fall we rise,
And gain for earthly Eden lost,
A heavenly paradise.

Enlightened Confession.
“ In sin did my mother conceive m'."

Psa. 51. (L. M.)
I LORD I am vile, conceived in sin,

And born unholy, and unelean;
Sprung from the man, whose guilty fail

Corrupts the race, and taints us all. 2 Behold I fall before thy face,

My only refuge is thy grace,
No outward forins can inake mo clean,
The leprosy lies deep within.

3 Jesus, my God, thy blood alone,

Hath power sufficient to atonie,
Thy blood can make me white as snow,
No Jewish types could cleanse me 30.

WATTS. 60.

Commiseration of Human Woe.
“Weep day and night for the slain.”-

Jer. 9. (L. M.)
SEE human nature sunk in shame,
1 See scandals pour'd on Jesus's name,

The Father wounded thro' the Son,

The world abus'd, the soul undone. 2 See the short course of vain delight,

Closing in everlasting night,
In flames that no abatement know,

Tho' briny tears for ever flow.
3 My God I feel the mournful scene,

My bowels yearn o'er dying men,
And fain my pity would reclaim,

And snatch the fire brands from the flame 4 But feeble my compassion proves,

And can but weep where most it loves ;
Thy own all-saving arm employ,
And turn these drops of grief to joy.

Wrath and Grace. “ God spared not the angels, but cast them down

to hell.”—2nd Peter 2. (C. M.)
1 DOWN headlong from their native skies,

The rebel angels fell,
And thunderbolts of flaming wrath,

Pursued them down to hell.

9 Down from the top of earthly bliss,

Rebellious man was hurl'd,
And Jesus stooped beneath the grave

To reach a sinking world. 3 O love of infinite degree,

Unmeasurable grace,
That heav'ns eternal darling died
To save a trait'rous race.

A Lost World.
“ Bringing in the flood upon the world of the

ungodly."-2nd Peter 2. (C. M.) 1 A SHIPWRECK'D world bestrews the shores,

Of vast eternity,
While Sinai's thund'ring tempest roars,

Man's endless destiny.
2 Wreck'd in the storm which sin had rais'd,

The whole creation groans,
While fiery hills their lightnings blaze,'

'Mid natures dying moans.
3 But grace,-what wonders grase has done,

Sinners be not afraid,
God lov'd the world, and gave his Son,

And Christ the storm allay'd.
4. The rage of heav'n and hell he bore,

And died a world tu save, Triumphant reach'd yon blissful shore,

Nor left an angry wave.
5 Here's refuge from the stormy blast,

To Christ let sinners steer,
On him be my soul's anchor cast,

Millions have harbour'd here.
