_Jesus_, in Thy transporting name What blissful glories rise! _Jesus_ the angels’ sweetest theme! The wonder of the skies! Well might the skies with wonder view A love so strange as thine, No thought of angels ever knew Compassion so divine. _Steele._ We know that “He will save us” Lord, If we on Him depend, _Jesus_, the true and living word, The sinner’s only friend. May He be ours, in life and death, _Jesus_ enthroned above, And may we with our latest breath Adore redeeming love! _J. Burbidge._ JEWS. The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as He hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in His ways. And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee. But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes, * * * thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb and a bye-word, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee.--Deuteronomy, xxviii. 9, 10, 15, 37. Salvation is of the _Jews_.--John, iv. 22. He is not a _Jew_, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh; But he is a _Jew_, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter, whose praise is not of men but of God.--Romans, ii. 28, 29. What advantage then hath the _Jew_, or what profit is there in circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.--Romans, iii. 1, 2. They, and they only, amongst all mankind, Received the transcript of the Eternal Mind; Were trusted with His own engraven laws, And constituted guardians of His cause; Theirs were the prophets, theirs the priestly call, And theirs, by birth, the Saviour of us all. _Cowper._ Thrice happy nation! Favourite of Heaven! Selected from the kingdoms of the earth To be His chosen race, ordained to spread His glory through remotest realms, and teach The Gentile world Jehovah’s awful name. _William Hodson._ That people once So famed, whom God Himself vouchsafed to call His chosen race, and with a guardian hand Deigned to protect, from Palestine exiled, Are doomed to wander; although scattered thus Through all the globe, there is no clime which they Can call their own, no country where their laws Hold sovereign rule. Irrefragable proof, That every oracle of Holy Writ Was given by Heaven itself! _Samuel Hayes._ JORDAN.
