HYMN 104.

Salvation? Oh the joyful sound!
'Tis pleasure to our ears,
A healing balm for ev'ry wound,
A comfort for our fears.

Salvation! let the echo fly
The spacious earth around,
While all the Angels of the sky,
Assist to swell the sound.

Salvation! Oh Thou Heav'nly Lamb!
To Thee the praise belongs;
Salvation shall inspire our hearts,
And dwell upon our tongues.

HYMN 105.

Saviour! When in dust to Thee
Lo we bow th' adoring knee,
When repentant, to the skies
Scarce we lift our weeping eyes,
O by all Thy pains and woe
Suffer'd once for man below,
Bending from Thy throne on high,
Hear our solemn Litany!

By Thy helpless infant years,
By Thy life of want and tears,
By Thy days of sore distress
In the lonely wilderness,
By the dread mysterious hour
Of th' insulting Tempter's pow'r,
Turn O turn a fav'ring eye,
Hear our solemn Litany!
