144 **’ - Christ the Chief. To Christ, the Lord, let every tongue Its noblest tribute bring: When he's the subject of the song, Who can refuse to sing ? Survey the beauties of his face, And on his glories dwell.; Think of the wonders of his? grace, And all his triumphs tell. Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Upon his awful brow ; His head with radienfc glories crown'd, Ilis lips with grace o'erflow. -3STo mortal can with him compare Among the sons of men : Fairer he is than all the fair That fill the heavenly train. He saw me plung’d in deep distress, He flew to my relief; For me he bore the shameful cross, And carried all my grief. [llis hand a thousand blessings pours Upon my guilty head ; His presence gilds my darkest hours, v And guards my sleeping bed, To him I owe my life, and breath, And all the joys I K ave.: He makes, me triumpu v?er death, A.nd saves me from the grave.] To lieav’n, the place of his abode, lie brings my weary feet; Shows me the glories of my God, And makes *my joys complete. Since from his bounty I receive Such proofs of love divine, Had Ia thousand hearts to give, Lord, they should all be thine ! Naomi, Walker Cos., Ga., August 5, 18G0. Bnq.
