HYMN 24. First Part. L.M.
Our good works are no part of our righteousness before God. (cont.)

3	O may my soul be found in him And of his righteousness partake!
4	The best obedience of my hands Dares not appear before thy throne; But faith can answer thy demands, By pleading what my Lord has done.

HYMN 24. Second Part. L.M.
Grace doth not ake men careless or profane.

1	SELF-righteous souls on works rely, And boast their moral dignity; But when I lisp a song of praise, Grace is the note my soul shall raise.
2	'Twas grace that quicken'd me when dead, And grace my soul to Jesus led; Grace brings me pardon for my sin; 'Tis grace subdues my lusts within.
3	'Tis grace, that sweetens ev'ry cross, 'Tis grace supports in ev'ry loss; In Jesus' grace my soul is strong; Grace is my hope, and Christ my song.
4	'Tis grace defends when danger's near; By grace alone I persevere; 'Tis grace constrains my soul to love — Free grace is all they sing above.
5	Thus, 'tis alone of grace I boast, And 'tis alone in grace I trust; For all that's past grace is my theme; For what's to come 'tis still the same.
6	Thro' endless years, of grace I'll sing, Adore and bless my heav'nly King; I'll cast my crown before his throne, And shout free grace to him alone.

HYMN 25. C.M.
The Sacraments.

1	MY Saviour God, my sov'reign Prince,    Reigns far above the skies; But brings his graces down to sense,    And helps my faith to rise.
2	My eyes and ears shall bless his name:    They read and hear his word; My touch and taste shall do the same,    When they receive the Lord.
3	Baptismal water is design'd    To seal his cleansing grace; While at his feast of bread and wine    He gives his saints a place;
4	But not the waters of a flood    Can make my flesh so clean; As by his Spirit and his blood    He'll wash my soul from sin,
5	Not choicest meats, nor noblest wines,    So much my heart refresh; As when my faith goes thro' the signs,    And feeds upon his flesh.
6	I love the Lord, that stoops so low,    To give his word a seal: But the rich grace his hands bestow.    Exceeds the figures still.

HYMN 26. First Part. L.M.
Baptism.

1	'TWAS the commission of our Lord, Go teach the nations and baptize: The nations have receiv'd the word Since he ascended to the skies.
2	He sits upon th' eternal hills, With grace and pardon in his hands,
