HYMN XX.

“_A new and living way_” HEB. x, 20.

“Ffordd â’i henw yn “Rhyfeddol””

YESTERDAY, to-day, and ever,—

Liable to no decay,—

Wonderful above all other

Is the new and living way:

Stained, regained and consecrated

By My Blessed Saviour’s Blood,

It conducts the lone, belated

Pilgrim to the throne of God.

Though it mean regeneration,

Rest, imputed righteousness,

Liberty, justification,

And eternal happiness,

Multitudes, preferring midnight,

Wander witlessly astray,

Even though the shining sunlight

Shew this new and living way.

Preordained before creation

Rose—in Eve, the woman’s seed,—

It was man’s one consolation

In his night of utmost need—

Primitively preconcerted

By The Blessed Trinity.—

Never may I be perverted,

O My God, from it and Thee!
