I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of GOD, which is in CHRIST JESUS our LORD.-ROMANS viii. 38, 39. A DEBTOR to mercy alone, Nor fear, with thy righteousness on, With me can have nothing to do; t, དནྟི 3 My name from the palms of his hands As sure as the earnest is given; 380. Perseverance. L. M. Who shall separate us from the love of CHRIST ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors, through him that loved us.-ROM. viii. 35, 37. IMMOVABLE our hope remains, Within the vail our anchor lies: JESUS, who wash'd us from our stains, Shall bear us safely to the skies. 2 Strong in his strength, we boldly say, For us IMMANUEL shed his blood; Who then shall tear our shield away, Or part us from the love of God? 3 Shall tribulation or distress, Or pain, or persecution's sword? Shall Satan rob us of our peace, Or prove too mighty for the LORD? 4 No, never! saints are kept secure By JESU's everlasting love; Thro' him their victory is sure, Which leads to certain joys above! 381.

O what pleasure Do these joyful words afford! Heavenly blessings, without measure, Flow to us from CHRIST the LORD. It is finish'd! Saints, the dying words record. Finish'd, all that God had promis'd; Saints, from hence your comfort draw. Glory to the bleeding Lamb! 382. Redemption by Christ alone. L. M. Ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of CHRIST, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.-1 PET. i. 18, 19. ENSLAV'D by sin and bound in chains 2 Nor gold nor gems could buy our peace; Nor the whole world's collected store Suffice to purchase our release! A thousand worlds were all too poor. 3 [The LORD himself, the mighty GoD, 6 JESUS, O may thy love pursue 383. Redemption. C.M. But GOD commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, CHRIST died for us.-ROM. v. 8. AND did the Holy and the Just,~~ Stoop down to wretchedness and dust, 2 Yes, the REDEEMER left his throne, 3 [He took the dying sinner's place, 4 O LORD, what heavenly wonders dwell 5 JESUS, my soul adoring bends 6 What glad returns then can I make My heart, O LORD, tho' worthless, take 384.
