ur sins can ne'er be found. 6 Awake, our hearts, adore the grace That buries all our faults, And pardoning blood that swells above Our follies and our thoughts. Hymn 2:86. Freedom from sin and misery in heaven. 1 Our sins, alas, how strong they be! And like a violent sea They break our duty, Lord, to thee, And hurry us away. 2 The waves of trouble how they rise! How loud the tempests roar! But death shall land our weary souls Safe on the heavenly shore. 3 There to fulfil his sweet commands Our speedy feet shall move, No sin shall clog our winged zeal, Or cool our burning love. 4 There shall we sit, and sing, and tell The wonders of his grace, Till heavenly raptures fire our hearts, And smile in every face. 5 For ever his dear sacred Name Shall dwell upon our tongue, And Jesus and salvation be The close of every song. Hymn 2:87. The divine glories above our reason. 1 How wond'rous great, how glorious bright Must our Creator be, Who dwells amidst the dazzling light Of vast infinity! 2 Our soaring spirits upward rise Tow'rd the celestial throne, Fain would we see the blessed Three, And the Almighty One. 3 Our reason stretches all its wings, And climbs above the skies; But still how far beneath thy feet Our groveling reason lies! 4 [Lord, here we bend our humble souls, And awfully adore, For the weak pinions of our mind Can stretch a thought no more.] 5 Thy glories infinitely rise Above our labouring tongue; In vain the highest seraph tries To form an equal song. 6 [In humble notes our faith adores The great mysterious King, While angels strain their nobler powers, And sweep th' immortal string.] Hymn 2:88. Salvation. 1 Salvation! O, the joyful sound! 'Tis pleasure to our ears; A sovereign balm for every wound, A cordial for our fears. 2 Buried in sorrow and in sin, At hell's dark door we lay, But we arise by grace divine To see a heavenly day. 3 Salvation! let the echo fly The spacious earth around, While all the armies of the sky Conspire to raise the sound. Hymn 2:89. Christ's victory over Satan. 1 Hosanna to our conquering King! The prince of darkness flies, His troops rush headlong down to hell Like lightning from the skies. 2 There, bound in chains, the lions roar, And fright the rescu'd sheep, But heavy bars confine their power And malice to the deep. 3 Hosanna to our conquering King, All hail, incarnate love!
