unto the otherside,
10 And a certain scribe came. and said nm

ever thon goest.

holes, and the birds of the air have nests. but
the Son of Man hath not where to lay his
head.
q And another of his disciples said unto
him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury nv
father.

and let the dead bury their dead

his disciples followed him.

awolSe him, saying, Lord, save us we perish

LESSON HYMN. C.M.
He breaks the power of Cancelled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean:
His blood availed for me-
He speaks. and, listening to his voice,
New life the dead receive;
The mournful. broken hearts rejoice,
The humble poor believe.
Hear him, ye deaf: his praise, ye dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Saviour come;
And leap, ye lame, for joy.
