3 Who is this-behold Him shedding Drops of blood upon the ground? Who is this-despised, rejected,

Mocked, insulted, beaten, bound? 'Tis our God, who gifts and graces,

On His Church now poureth down, Who shall smite in holy vengeance All His foes beneath His throne. 4 Who is this that hangeth dying,

With the thieves on either side; Nails His hands and feet are tearing, And the spear hath pierced His side? 'Tis the God who ever liveth,

'Mid the shining ones on high, In the glorious golden city Reigning everlastingly.

WHO IS THIS THAT COMES FROM EDOM ?

1 Who is this that comes from E- dom, All His rai-ment stain'd with blood; To the slave pro claiming free-dom; Bringing and

be - stow-ing

good:

Glo-rious in

the garb He wears, Glo-rious in

the spoil He bears?

1 WHO is this that comes from Edom,
All His raiment stained with blood;
To the slave proclaiming freedom;
Bringing and bestowing good:
Glorious in the garb He wears,
Glorious in the spoil He bears?

2 'Tis the Saviour, now victorious,
Travelling onward in His might,
'Tis the Saviour, oh how glorious
To His people is the sight!
Jesus now is strong to save,
Mighty to redeem the slave.

3 Why that blood His raiment staining?
'Tis the blood of many slain;

Of His foes there's none remaining,

None the contest to maintain.
Fall'n they are, no more to rise;
All their glory prostrate lies.

4 This the Saviour has effected
By His mighty arm alone;
See the throne for Him erected,
'Tis an everlasting throne!
'Tis the great reward He gains;
Glorious fruit of all His pains.

5 Mighty Victor, reign for ever!
Wear the crown, so dearly won;
Never shall Thy people, never

Cease to sing what Thou hast done.
Thou hast fought Thy people's foes;
Thou hast healed Thy people's woes.

99. WITHIN THE CHURCHYARD, SIDE BY SIDE.

1 With in the church-yard, side by side, Are many long low

graves;

[blocks in formation]

5 But we believe a day shall come,

When all the dead will rise;

When they who sleep down in the grave
Will ope again their eyes.

6 For Christ our Lord was buried once;
He died and rose again;

He conquered death, He left the grave;
And so will Christian men.

7 So when the friends we love the best
Lie in their churchyard bed,
We must not cry too bitterly
Over the happy dead;

8 Because, for our dear Saviour's sake,
Our sins are all forgiven,

And Christians only fall asleep,
To wake again in heaven.

1 WORDS ȧre things of little cost,
Quickly spoken, quickly lost;
We forget them, but they stand,
Witnesses at God's right hand;
And their testimony bear
For us or against us there.

2 Oh, how often ours have been
Idle words and words of sin;
Words of anger, scorn, or pride,
Or deceit our faults to hide;
Envious tales or strife unkind,
Leaving bitter thoughts behind!

3 Grant us, Lord, from day to day,
Strength to watch and grace to pray
May our lips, from sin kept free,
Love to speak and sing of Thee:
Till in heaven we learn to raise
Hymns of everlasting praise.
