	LOVE AND GRATITUDE



	2 He saw me ruined in the fall, Yet loved me notwithstanding all, And saved me from my lost estate, His loving-kindness, O how great! 3 Through mighty hosts of cruel foes, Where earth and hell my way oppose, He safely leads my soul along, His loving-kindness, O how strong!	4 So when I pass death's gloomy vale, And life and mortal powers shall fail, O may my last expiring breath His loving-kindness sing in death. 5 Then shall I mount, and soar away To the bright world of endless day; There shall I sing, with sweet surprise, His loving-kindness in the skies.

	Rev. Samuel Medley, 1787 330 John Hatton, c 1793



	2 Slain to redeem us by His bl<pd, To cleanse from every sinfu¹,, stain, And make us kings and prie >ts to God: " Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain! " 3 To Him, enthroned, by filial right, All power in heaven and earth proclaim,	Honor, and majesty, and might: " Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain! " 4 Long as we live, and when we die, And while in heaven with Him we reign, This song, our song of songs shall be: " Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain! " James Montgomery, 1853
