BALERMA. C. M. 220 I WITH joy we meditate the grace 2 Touched with a sympathy within, 3 But spotless, innocent, and pure, The great Redeemer stood; And did resist to blood. 4 He, in the days of feeble flesh, 5 Then let our humble faith address 221 3 Dear Name! the Rock on which I build, 4 By Thee, my prayers acceptance gain, Although with sin defiled; Satan accuses me' in vain, And I am owned a child. 5 Jesus! my Shepherd, Husband, Friend, 6 Weak is the effort of my heart, And cold my warmest thought; 7 Till then I would Thy love proclaim 222 I How sweet the name of Jesus sounds I O HELP us Lord, each hour of need In a believer's ear!
