THE

CHURCH OF GOD SELECTION

OF

SPIRITUAL SONGS

WITH MUSIC

FOR THE CHURCH AND THE CHOIR.

HARRISBURGH, PA. : Board of Publication of the General Eldership of the Church of God.

1882.

PREFACE.

Twenty-two years ago, " a "book of Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs," known as The Church Hymn Book, was published by the authority of the General Elder- ship of the Church of God. At the time of its publication, this book was equal in every respect to any hymn book then in use, and it has proved during all this time an acceptable book for the service of song in the congregations of the Church of God. But during these years a revolution has been effected in books of sacred song, and an almost universal demand has arisen for collections having both hymns and tunes. The General Eldership recognized this want in some measure when, in 1878, it passed an action constituting the Board of Publication " a Eevision Com- mittee on The Church Hymn Book," and by adding to said Committee two members "to revise The Church Hymn Book," and granting this Committee "discretionary powers to publish a smaller edition with the music."

For reasons which seemed fully to justify its action, this Committee decided not to revise The Church Hymn Book, nor to issue "a smaller edition with the music," during the triennial period following the Eldership of 1878. But the demand among the churches for an improved hymn and tune book continued to spread and inten- sify, and at the General Eldership in May, 1881, it found expression in imper- ative action. The former Committee reported the reasons for not issuing a hymnal, and also recommended "that a Committee be appointed or elected, in con- nection with the Board of Publication, who shall constitute a Committee to publish a hymnal for the use of the Church at as early a day as possible." This recommenda- tion was adopted. At a subsequent stage of the proceedings, the Board of Publica- tion, together with the three brethren elected by the Eldership, was constituted the Hymnal Committee. The undersigned, composing said Committee, have given diligent attention to the work committed to their hands, and they are now, at this early date, offering this collection of " Spiritual Songs" to the Brotherhood of the Church of God, for use in the service of public praise.

In adopting this selection we have kept in view what we considered the real needs of the Church. A less complete and expensive book, which would have met in some degree the immediate and most urgent wants of the body, could have been published, but it might have proved very injudicious economy in the end. We therefore concluded to provide the Church with a hymn and tune book which should compare favorably with the various excellent denominational books now so extensively used ; and one, too, which should contain nearly as large, and equally as varied, a collection of hymns as that found in The Church Hymn Book. The Committee feel assured that the mature and enlightened judgment of the Brotherhood will fully approve their action; and they anticipate that "Spiritual Songs " will be cordially accepted as a manual of worship helpful in the public services of the house of God, and contributing to the glory of the great Head of the Church. If the use of a hymn and tune book in the congregations of the Church of God shall anywise serve to perpetuate the good old practice of having all the people sing, an important incidental end will have been gained. Artistic singing is very desira- ble, but when it tends to discourage congregational singing, or leads to annoying differences of opinion, it may become the occasion of grave spiritual evils in the body of Christ. To avoid this, let all the people be heartily invited to take an unre- strained part in this feature of divine worship, led by one or more whose artistic training is qualification for so important a service.

The work assigned to the Committee is one which has occasioned much per- plexity and considerable labor ; but it has been conducted with increasing satisfac- tion and with the growing consciousness of rendering an important service to the churches. The result of the Committee's labors is now confidently commended to the Brotherhood, in the assured expectation that it will meet a want which has been widely felt, and with the fervent prayer that the blessing of Him who inhabits the praises of Israel may attend our labors and sanctify our songs.

Yes, with a cheerful zeal,

We haste to Zion's hill, And there our vows and honors pay.

Adorned with wondrous grace, "Peace to this sacred house I"

"While walls of strength embrace thee round: For here my friends and kindred dwell;

In thee our tribes appear, And since my glorious God

To pray, and praise, and hear Makes thee his blest abode,

To bless the soul of every guest: The man who seeks thy peace, And wishes thine increase,

A thousand blessings on him rest I

2 While thy glorious name is sung, Tune our lips — unloose our tongue ; Then our joyful souls shall bless Thee, the Lord our Righteousness.

3 While to thee our prayers ascend, Let thine ear in love attend ; Hear us, for thy Spirit pleads — Hear, for Jesus intercedes.

4 While thy word is heard with awe, While we tremble at thy law,

Let thy gospel's wondrous love Every doubt and fear remove.

5 From thy house when we return, Let our hearts within us burn ; That at evening we may say — "We have walked with God to-day."

To thy pastures fair and large, Heavenly Shepherd, lead thy charge, And my couch, with tenderest care, 'Mid the springing grass prepare.

2 When I faint with summer's heat, Thou shalt guide my weary feet

To the streams that, still and slow, Through the verdant meadows flow.

3 Safe the dreary vale I tread, By the shades of death o'erspread, With thy rod and staff supplied, This my guard — and that my guide.

4 Constant to my latest end, Thou my footsteps shalt attend; And shalt bid thy hallowed dome Yield me an eternal home.

Twilight. S. F. SMITH.

Softly fades the twilight ray Of the holy Sabbath day; Gently as life's setting sun, When the Christian's course is run.

2 Peace is on the world abroad; 'Tis the holy peace of Grod — Symbol of the peace within When the spirit rests from sin.

3 Still the Spirit lingers near, Where the evening worshiper Seeks communion with the skies, Pressing onward to the prize.

4 Saviour! may our Sabbaths be Days of joy and peace in thee, Till in heaven our souls repose, Where the Sabbath ne'er shall close.

That call the tribes of Israel near; Ye people all, obey the call,

And in Jehovah's courts appear.

And send thy people joyful home; Of thee our King, oh, may we sing,

And none with such a theme be dumb. 3 Oh, hasten, Lord, the day when those

Who know thee here shall see thy face ; When suffering shall for ever close,

And they shall reach their destined place; Then shall they rest, supremely blest,

Eternal debtors to thy grace.

Can every secret thought explore; Oh, may thy grace our hearts refine, And fix our thoughts on things divine.

Engage the ear and warm the heart; Then shall the day indeed be thine; Then shall our souls, adoring, own The grace which calls us to thy throne.

When, streaming from the eastern skies, The morning light salutes mine eyes, O Sun of righteousness divine, On me with beams of mercy shine !

Oh, chase the clouds of guilt away, And turn my darkness into day.

2 And when to heaven's all-glorious King My morning-sacrifice I bring,

And, mourning o'er my guilt and shame, Ask mercy in my Saviour's name; Then, Jesus, cleanse me with thy blood, And be my Advocate with God.

3 When each day's scenes and labors close, And wearied nature seeks repose,

With pardoning mercy richly blest, Guard me, my Saviour, while I rest; And, as each morning sun shall rise, Oh, lead me onward to the skies !

Through the dear Redeemer's name, Show thy reconciling face —

Take away our sin and shame; From our worldly cares set free, — May we rest this day in thee.

3 Here we come thy name to praise; Let us feel thy presence near;

May thy glory meet our eyes,

While we in thy house appear: Here afford us, Lord, a taste Of our everlasting feast.

Make the fruits of grace abound, Bring relief for all complaints: Thus let all our Sabbaths prove, Till we rest in thee above.

Naught can charm me here below, But my Saviour's melting voice; Lord ! forgive — thy grace restore, Make me thine for evermore.

For the gospel's cheering ray,

For the Spirit's quickening power, — Grateful notes to thee I raise; Oh, accept my song of praise.

Thine holy day's returning,

Our hearts exult to see; And with devotion burning,

Ascend, O God, to thee ! To-day with purest pleasure,

Our thoughts from earth withdraw. We search for heavenly treasure,

We learn thy holy law. 2 We join to sing thy praises,

Lord of the Sabbath day; Each voice in gladness raises

Its loudest, sweetest lay ! Thy richest mercies sharing,

Inspire us with thy love, By grace our souls preparing

For nobler praise above.

P. H. BROWN.

Hail, happy day I thou day of holy rest, What heavenly peace and transport fill

our breast I When Christ, the God of grace, in love

descends, And kindly holds communion with his friends. 2 Let earth and all its vanities be gone, Move from my sight, and leave my soul alone ;

Its flattering, fading glories I despise, And to immortal beauties turn my eyes.

3 Fain would I mount and penetrate the

skies, And on my Saviour's glories fix my eyes : Oh, meet my rising soul, thou God of love, And waft it to the blissful realms above !

This is the day the Lord hath made ;

He calls the hours his own ; Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad,

And praise surround the throne.

2 To-day he rose, and left the dead, And Satan's empire fell ;

To-day the saints his triumph spread, And all his wonders tell.

Help us, 0 Lord ; descend, and bring Salvation from thy throne.

4 Blest be the Lord who comes to men With messages of grace ;

5 Hosanna in the highest strains The church on earth can raise ;

The highest heavens, in which he reigns, Shall give him nobler praise.

How did my heart rejoice to hear

My friends devoutly say, — "In Zion let us all appear,

And keep the solemn day."

2 I love her gates, I love the road ; The Church, adorned with grace,

Stands like a palace built for God, To show his milder face.

3 Up to her courts, with joys unknown, The holy tribes repair ;

The Son of David holds his throne, And sits in judgment there.

4 Peace be within this sacred place, And joy a constant guest ;

With holy gifts and heavenly grace, Be her attendants blest.

There my best friends, my kindred dwell, There God, my Saviour reigns.

Around the eternal throne, Of every kindred, clime, and land,

A multitude unknown.

2 Life's poor distinctions vanish here: To-day the young, the old,

Our Saviour and his flock appear One Shepherd and one fold.

3 Toil, trial, sufferings still await On earth the pilgrim throng;

Yet learn we in our low estate The Church Triumphant's song.

4 "Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain," — Cry the redeemed above,

" Blessing and honor to obtain, And everlasting love ! "

5 "Worthy the Lamb," on earth we sing, "Who died our souls to save !

Henceforth, O Death ! where is thy sting ? Thy victory, O Grave ! "

WTC Psalm 122. H. F. LYTE.

With joy we hail the sacred day Which God hath called his own;

With joy the summons we obey To worship at his throne.

2 Thy chosen temple, Lord, how fair I Where willing votaries throng

To breathe the humble, fervent prayer, And pour the choral song.

3 Spirit of grace ! oh, deign to dwell Within thy church below;

Make her in holiness excel, With pure devotion glow.

4 Let peace within her walls be found; Let all her sons unite

To spread with grateful zeal around Her clear and shining light.

5 Great God, we hail the sacred day Which thou hast called thine own;

With joy the summons we obey To worship at thy throne.

Once more, my soul, the rising day

Salutes thy waking eyes; Once more, my voice, thy tribute pay

To him that rules the skies.

2 Night unto night his name repeats, The day renews the sound,

Wide as the heaven on which he sits To turn the seasons round.

3 'Tis he supports my mortal frame; My tongue shall speak his praise;

My sins would rouse his wrath to flame, And yet his wrath delays.

4 Great God, let all my hours be thine, While I enjoy the light;

Then shall my sun in smiles decline, And bring a pleasant night.

» O T^c Sanctuary.

How charming is the place Where my Redeemer, God,

Unvails the beauty of his face, And sheds his love abroad !

2 Not the fair palaces,

To which the great resort, Are once to be compared with this, Where Jesus holds his court.

3 Here on the mercy-seat, With radiant glory crowned,

Our joyful eyes behold him sit And smile on all around.

4 Give me, O Lord, a place Within thy blest abode,

Among the children of thy grace, The servants of my God.

*Wt/ Psalm 63. i.wat

My God ! permit my tongue This joy, to call thee mine;

And let my early cries prevail To taste thy love divine.

2 My thirsty fainting soul Thy mercy doth implore;

Not travelers, in desert lands, Can pant for water more.

3 For life, without thy love, No relish can afford;

No joy can be compared to this, — To serve and please the Lord.

4 In wakeful hours at night, I call my God to mind;

I think how wise thy counsels are, And all thy dealings kind.

5 Since thou hast been my help, To thee my spirit flies;

And, on thy watchful providence, My cheerful hope relies.

6 The shadow of thy wings My soul in safety keeps;

1 follow where my Father leads,

And he supports my steps.

d v Psalm 84. 1. wv

Welcome, sweet day of rest, That saw the Lord arise !

Welcome to this reviving breast, And these rejoicing eyes !

2 The King himself comes near, And feasts his saints to-day;

Here may we sit and see him here, And love, and praise, and pray.

3 One day, amid the place Where my dear Lord hath been,

Is sweeter than ten thousand days Within the tents of sin.

4 My willing soul would stay In such a frame as this,

And sit and sing herself away To everlasting bliss.

3 No rude alarms of raging foes, No cares to break the long repose, No midnight shade, no clouded sun, But sacred, high, eternal noon.

4 O long-expected day, begin ! Dawn on these realms of woe and sin; Fain would we leave this weary road, And sleep in death, to rest with God.

My opening eyes with rapture see The dawn of thy returning day;

My thoughts, 0 God, ascend to thee, While thus my early vows I pay.

2 Oh, bid this trifling world retire, And drive each carnal thought away;

Nor let me feel one vain desire —

One sinful thought through all the day.

3 Then, to thy courts when I repair, My soul shall rise on joyful wing,

The wonders of thy love declare,

And join the strains which angels sing.

Come, gracious Lord, descend and dwell,

By faith and love, in every breast; Then shall we know, and taste, and feel

The joys that cannot be expressed.

2 Come, fill our hearts with inward strength, 3 This heavenly calm, within the breast, Make our enlarged souls possess, Is the dear pledge of glorious rest,

Andlearnthe height, and breadth, and length Which for the church of God remains — Of thine eternal love and grace. The end of cares, the end of pains.

3 Now to the God whose power can do 4 In holy duties, let the day, More than our thoughts and wishes know, In holy pleasures, pass away;

Be everlasting honors done, How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend,

By all the Church, through Christ his Son. In hope of one that ne'er shall end.

How happy they who rest in thee !

3 Thy hand sets fast the mighty hills, Thy voice the troubled ocean stills ! Evening and morning hymn thy praise, And earth thy bounty wide displays.

4 The year is with thy goodness crowned; Thy clouds drop wealth the world around; Through thee the deserts laugh and sing, And nature smiles and owns her king.

3 Sing the Son's amazing love : How he left the realms above, Took our nature and our place, Lived and died to save our race.

Blest hour ! when mortal man retires To hold communion with his God,

To send to heaven his warm desires, And listen to the sacred word.

2 Blest hour ! when earthly cares resign Their empire o'er his anxious breast,

While all around, the calm divine Proclaims the holy day of rest.

3 Blest hour ! when God himself draws

nigh, Well pleased his people's voice to hear, To hush the penitential sigh, And wipe away the mourner's tear.

4 Blest hour! for where the Lord resorts, Foretastes of future bliss are given ;

And mortals find his earthly courts The house of God, the gate of Heaven !

9w l. m. " Gate of Heaven." t. kelly

How sweet to leave the world awhile, And seek the presence of our Lord !

Dear Saviour ! on thy people smile, And come, according to thy word.

2 From busy scenes we now retreat, That we may here converse with thee

Ah, Lord ! behold us at thy feet ; Let this the " gate of heaven " be.

Oh, speak, that we thy voice may hear, And let thy presence fill this place.

In thy name, O Lord, assembling, We, thy people, now draw near ;

Teach us to rejoice with trembling; Speak, and let thy servants hear ;

Hear with meekness — Hear thy word with godly fear.

2 While our days on earth are lengthened, May we give them, Lord, to thee ;

Cheered by hope, and daily strengthened, May we run, nor weary be,

Till thy glory Without cloud in heaven we see.

Tasting of enjoyment greater Than they could conceive before ;

Full enjoyment, Full and pure for evermore.

3 Many days have passed since then, Many changes I have seen;

Yet have been upheld till now; Who could hold me up but thou ?

4 Thou hast helped in every need- This emboldens me to plead; After so much mercy past, Canst thou let me sink at last ?

"O "The sacred fire." b. beddome.

Prayer is the breath of God in man,

Returning whence it came; Love is the sacred fire within,

And prayer the rising flame.

2 It gives the burdened spirit ease, And soothes the troubled breast;

Yields comfort to the mourning soul, And to the weary rest.

3 When God inclines the heart to pray, He hath an ear to hear;

To him there's music in a sigh, And beauty in a tear.

4 The humble suppliant cannot fail To have his wants supplied,

Since He for sinners intercedes, Who once for sinners died.

D 4 What prayer is. j. Montgomery.

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,

Uttered or unexpressed; The motion of a hidden fire

That trembles in the breast.

2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear,

The upward glancing of an eye, When none but God is near.

3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try;

Prayer the sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high.

4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air:

His watchword at the gates of death — He enters heaven with prayer.

5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, Returning from his ways;

While angels in their songs rejoice, And cry — "Behold he prays !"

: 7%* evil hour."

M. BRUCE.

75

Where high the heavenly temple stands, The house of God not made with hands, A great High Priest our nature wears, — The Guardian of mankind appears.

2 Though now ascended up on high, He bends on earth a brother's eye; Partaker of the human name,

He knows the frailty of our frame.

3 Our Fellow-sufferer yet retains A fellow-feeling of our pains ; And still remembers, in the skies, His tears, his agonies, and cries.

4 In every pang that rends the heart, The Man of Sorrows had a part;

He sympathizes with our grief, And to the sufferer sends relief.

5 With boldness, therefore, at the throne, Let us make all our sorrows known; And ask the aid of heavenly power,

To help us in the evil hour.

I" "What thou will." j. newton.

And dost thou say, "Ask what thou wilt?" Lord, I would seize the golden hour:

1 pray to be released from guilt,

And freed from sin and Satan's power.

2 More of thy presence, Lord, impart ; More of thine image let me bear :

Erect thy throne within my heart, And reign without a rival there.

3 Give me to read my pardon sealed, And from thy joy to draw my strength:

Oh, be thy boundless love revealed

In all its height and breadth and length.

4 Grant these requests — I ask no more, But to thy care the rest resign :

Sick, or in health, or rich, or poor, All shall be well, if thou art mine.

■ • Prayers hindered. w. cowper.

What various hindrances we meet

In coming to a mercy-seat !

Yet who that knows the worth of prayer

But wishes to be often there ?

2 Prayer makes the darkened cloud with-

draw; Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw, Gives exercise to faith and love, Brings every blessing from above.

3 Restraining prayer, we cease to fight ; Prayer makes the Christian's armor bright ; And Satan trembles when he sees

The weakest saint upon his knees.

4 Have you no words ? ah ! think again ; Words flow apace when you complain, And fill a fellow-creature's ear

With the sad tale of all your care.

5 Were half the breath thus vainly spent To heaven in supplication sent,

Our cheerful song would oftener be, "Hear what the Lord hath done for me!"

To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One, Be honor, praise, and glory given, By all on earth, and all in heaven.

^4 Psalm 117. 1. watts.

From all that dwell below the skies, Let the Creator's praise arise : Let the Redeemer's name be sung, Through every land, by every tongue.

2 Eternal are thy mercies, Lord ! Eternal truth attends thy word : Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore, Till suns shall rise and set no more.

i CJ Psalm 100. 1. watts.

Before Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations ! bow with sacred joy :

Know that the Lord is God alone : He can create, and he destroy.

2 His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men ;

And when, like wandering sheep, we strayed, He brought us to his fold again.

3 We are his people, we his care, — Our souls, and all our mortal frame :

"What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker ! to thy name ?

4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heavens our voices raise ;

And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.

5 Wide as the world is thy command, Yast as eternity, thy love ;

Firm as a rock thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.

Psalm 100.

W. KETHE.

79

All people that on earth do dwell, Siug to the Lord with cheerful voice:

Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell, Come ye before him and rejoice.

2 Know that the Lord is God indeed ;

Without our aid he did us make : We are his flock, he doth us feed,

And for his sheep he doth us take.

High in the heavens, eternal God !

Thy goodness in full glory shines; Thy truth shall break through every cloud

That vails and darkens thy designs.

2 For ever firm thy justice stands,

As mountains their foundations keep: Wise are the wonders of thy hands; Thy judgments are a mighty deep.

3 My God, how excellent thy grace ! Whence all our hope and comfort springs;

The sons of Adam, in distress, Fly to the shadow of thy wings.

4 From the provisions of thy house We shall be fed with sweet repast;

There, mercy like a river flows, And brings salvation to our taste.

5 Life, like a fountain rich and free, Springs from the presence of my Lord;

And in thy light our souls shall see The glories promised in thy word.

Lord God of Hosts, by all adored ! Thy name we praise with one accord; The earth and heavens are full of thee, Thy light, thy love, thy majesty.

2 Loud hallelujahs to thy name Angels and seraphim proclaim; Eternal praise to thee is given

By all the powers and thrones in heaven.

3 The apostles join the glorious throng, The prophets aid to swell the song, The noble and triumphant host

Of martyrs make of thee their boast.

4 The holy church in every place Throughout the world exalts thy praise; Both heaven and earth do worship thee, Thou Father of eternity !

5 From day to day, O Lord, do we Highly exalt and honor thee;

Thy name we worship and adore, World without end for evermore.

Praise ye the Lord : my heart shall join In work so pleasant, so divine ; Now while the flesh is mine abode, And when my soul ascends to God.

2 Praise shall employ my noblest powers, While immortality endures ;

My days of praise shall ne'er be past, While life, and thought, and being last.

3 Happy the man whose hopes rely On Israel's God : he made the sky, And earth, and seas, with all their train ; And none shall find his promise vain.

4 His truth for ever stands secure ;

He saves the oppressed, he feeds the poor ; He helps the stranger in distress, The widow and the fatherless.

5 He loves his saints, he knows them well, But turns the wicked down to hell ;

Thy God, 0 Zion, ever reigns ; Praise him in everlasting strains.

O I Psalm 147. I. watts.

Praise ye the Lord ! — 'tis good to raise Our hearts and voices in his praise ; His nature and his works invite To make this duty our delight.

2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem, And gathers nations to his name; His mercy melts the stubborn soul, And makes the broken spirit whole.

3 He formed the stars-those heavenly flames, He counts their numbers, calls their names: His wisdom 's vast, and knows no bound, — A deep, where all our thoughts are drowned.

4 Great is our Lord, and great his might, And all his glories infinite :

He crowns the meek, rewards the just, And treads the wicked to the dust.

5 But saints are lovely in his sight ; He views his children with delight ; He sees their hope, he knows their fear, And looks, and loves his image there.

OO Psalm 29. 1. watts.

Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame, Give to the Lord renown and power ;

Ascribe due honors to his name, And his eternal might adore.

2 The Lord proclaims his power aloud, O'er all the ocean and the land;

His voice divides the watery cloud, And lightnings blaze at his command.

3 The Lord sits Sovereign on the flood; The Thunderer reigns for ever King ;

But makes his church his blest abode, Where we his awful glories sing.

4 In gentler language, there the Lord The counsels of his grace imparts:

Amid the raging storm, his word

Speaks peace and courage to our hearts.

3 Thy works with sovereign glory shine, And speak thy majesty divine:

Let Zion in her courts proclaim The sound and honor of thy name.

4 But who can speak thy wondrous deeds ? Thy greatness all our thoughts exceeds: Yast and unsearchable thy ways;

Yast and immortal be thy praise.

Plucked from the destroyer's hand.

Hungry, fainting by the way,

Far from refuge, shelter, home, —

Then unto the Lord they cry; He inclines a gracious ear,

Sends deliverance from on high, Rescues them from all their fear.

Where from flowery hills the springs Through luxuriant valleys flow.

Oh, that men would praise the Lord For his goodness to their race;

For the wonders of his word, And the riches of his grace.

2 Sweet the day of sacred rest, When devotion fills the breast, When we dwell within thy house, Hear thy word, and pay our vows ; Notes to heaven's high mansions raise, Fill its courts with joyful praise ; With repeated hymns proclaim Great Jehovah's awful name.

3 From thy works our joys arise, 0 thou only good and wise ! Who thy wonders can declare ? How profound thy counsels are ! Warm our hearts with sacred fire ; Grateful fervors still inspire ;

All our powers, with all their might, Ever in thy praise unite.

''Praise to Thee.'

J. FAWCKTT.

104

Praise to thee, thou great Creator !

Praise to thee from every tongue ; Join, my soul, with every creature,

Join the universal song.

2 Father ! source of all compassion ! Pure, unbounded grace is thine :

Hail the God of our salvation, Praise him for his love divine !

3 For ten thousand blessings given, For the hope of future joy,

Sound his praise thro' earth and heaven, Sound Jehovah's praise on high !

4 Praise to God, the great Creator, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost ;

Praise him, every living creature, Earth and heaven's united host.

5 Joyfully on earth adore him, Till in heaven our song we raise ;

Then enraptured fall before him, Lost in wonder, love, and praise !

10^

x\/t» 1IS. "Alleluia." anon.

Oh, join ye the anthems of triumph that

rise From the throne of the blest, from the

hosts of the skies ; Alleluia, they sing in rapturous strains, Alleluia, the Lord God omnipotent

reigns !

2 He gave to the light its beneficent

wings ;

He controlleth the councils of senates and kings ;

From his throne in the clouds the light- nings are hurled,

And he ruleth the factions that rage through the world.

3 Rejoice, ye that love him ; his power

cannot fail ; His omnipotent goodness shall surely

prevail ; The triumph of evil will shortly be

passed, The omnipotent King shall conquer at

last.

C. WESLEY.

â– *â– "" 7S, 6s. Psalm 150.

Praise the Lord, who reigns above,

And keeps his courts below ; Praise him for his boundless love,

And all his greatness show ! Praise him for his noble deeds ;

Praise him for his matchless power ; Him, from whom all good proceeds,

Let earth and heaven adore.

2 Publish, spread to "all around, The great Immanuel's name ;

Let the gospel trumpet sound, The Prince of Peace proclaim !

Praise him, every tuneful string ; All the reach of heavenly art,

All the power of music bring, The music of the heart.

3 Him, in whom they move and live, Let every creature sing ;

Glory to our Saviour give,

And homage to our King : Hallowed be his name beneath,

As in heaven, on earth adored ; Praise the Lord in every breath,

Let all things praise the Lord.

THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE.

107

Songs of praise the angels sang, Heaven with hallelujahs rang, When Jehovah's work begun, When he spake, and it was done. Songs of praise awoke the morn, When the Prince of Peace was born ; Songs of praise arose, when he Captive led captivity.

2 Heaven and earth must pass away — Songs of praise shall crown that day ; God will make new heavens and earth — Songs of praise shall hail their birth. And shall man alone be dumb,

Till that glorious kingdom come ? No ; the Church delights to raise Psalms and hymns and songs of praise.

3 Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice ; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. Borne upon their latest breath Songs of praise shall conquer death ; Then, amid eternal joy,

Songs of praise their powers employ.

J-VFO c. M. " Hearts to Pray." j. newton.

Again our earthly cares we leave,

And to thy courts repair ; Again with joyful feet we come,

To meet our Saviour here.

2 Great Shepherd of thy people, hear ! Thy presence now display •

We bow within thy house of prayer ; Oh, give us hearts to pray !

3 The clouds which vail thee from our

sight, In pity, Lord, remove ; Dispose our minds to hear aright The message of thy love.

4 The feeling heart, the melting eye, The humble mind, bestow ;

And shine upon us from on high, To make our graces grow.

5 Show us some token of thy love, Our fainting hopes to raise ;

And pour thy blessing from above, To aid our feeble praise.

•*■"*' L. M. Psalm 39. I. WATTS.

Jehovah reigns ; his throne is high ; His robes are light and majesty ; His glory shines with beams so bright, No mortal can sustain the sight.

2 His terrors keep the world in awe ; His justice guards his holy law ; Yet love reveals a smiling face,

And truth and promise seal the grace.

3 Through all his works his wisdom

shines, And baffles Satan's deep designs ; His power is sovereign to fulfill The noblest counsels of his will.

4 And will this glorious Lord descend To be my Father and my Friend "? Then let my songs with angels join ; Heaven is secure, if God be mine.

A A" l. m. " God is Here." J. wesley, tr.

Lo, God is here ! — let us adore !

And own how dreadful is this place ! Let all within us feel his power,

And, silent, bow before his face.

2 Lo, God is here ! — him day and night United choirs of angels sing :

To him, enthroned above all height, Let saints their humble worship bring.

3 Lord God of hosts ! oh, may our praise Thy courts with grateful incense fill !

Still may we stand before thy face, Still hear and do thy sovereign will.

AAA c. M. " Light in thy Light." c. Wesley.

Eternal Sun of righteousness,

Display thy beams divine, And cause the glory of thy face

Upon my heart to shine.

2 Light, in thy light, oh, may I see, Thy grace and mercy prove,

Revived, and cheered, and blest by thee The God of pardoning love.

3 Lift up thy countenance serene, And let thy happy child

Behold, without a cloud between, The Father reconciled.

4 On me thy promised peace bestow, The peace by Jesus given ; —

The joys of holiness below, And then the joys of heaven.

Thus far the Lord has led me on;

Thus far his power prolongs my days; And every evening shall make known

Some fresh memorial of his grace.

2 Much of my time has run to waste, And I, perhaps, am near my home,

But he forgives my follies past,

And gives me strength for days to come.

3 I lay my body down to sleep; Peace is the pillow for my head;

While well-appointed angels keep

Their watchful stations round my bed.

4 Thus when the night of death shall come, My flesh shall rest beneath the ground,

And wait thy voice to break my tomb, With sweet salvation in the sound.

With thee my God in prayer.

3 With thee when day is done, And evening calms the mind;

The setting, as the rising, sun With thee my heart would find.

4 With thee, in thee, by faith Abiding I would be;

By day, by night, in life, in death, I would be still with thee.

So death will soon disrobe us all Of what we here possessed.

May angels guard us while we sleep, Till morning light appears.

4 And when we early rise, And view the unwearied sun,

May we set out to win the prize, And after glory run.

Oh, may we in thy bosom rest, The bosom of thy love !

Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us, For we have no help but thee;

Yet possessing Every blessing, If our God our Father be.

2 Saviour, breathe forgiveness o'er us; All our weakness thou dost know;

Thou didst tread this earth before us;

Thou didst feel its keenest woe; Lone and dreary, Faint and weary,

Through the desert thou didst go.

3 Spirit of our God, descending, Fill our hearts with heavenly joy;

Love with every passion blending, Pleasure that can never cloy;

Thus provided, Pardoned, guided, Nothing can our peace destroy.

When once the Judge appears, And sun and moon decay, That measure mortal years ;

But still the same, In radiant lines

The promise shines Through all the flame. Their harmony shall sound

Through my attentive ears, When thunders cleave the ground And dissipate the spheres;

Midst all the shock Of that dread scene,

I stand serene, Thy word my rock.

When I have felt its quickening power To draw me near the Lord.

«■"• Dull of Heart. 1. watts.

Laden with guilt, and full of fears,

I fly to thee, my Lord, And not a glimpse of hope appears,

But in thy written word.

2 This is the field where hidden lies The pearl of price unknown ;

That merchant is divinely wise, Who makes the pearl his own.

3 This is the judge that ends the strife, Where wit and reason fail;

My guide to everlasting life, Through all this gloomy vale.

4 Oh, may thy counsels, mighty God ! My roving feet command;

Nor I forsake the happy road, That leads to thy right hand.

AvJO Psalm 119. 1. watts.

Oh, how I love thy holy law !

'Tis daily my delight; And thence my meditations draw

Divine advice by night.

2 How doth thy word my heart engage ! How well employ my tongue !

And in my tiresome pilgrimage Yields me a heavenly song.

3 Am I a stranger, or at home, 'Tis my perpetual feast:

Not honey dropping from the comb, So much allures the taste.

4 No treasures so enrich the mind, Nor shall thy word be sold

For loads of silver well-refined, Nor heaps of choicest gold.

5 When nature sinks, and spirits droop, Thy promises of grace

Are pillars to support my hope, And there I write thy praise.

•*-W Psalm 119. 1. watts.

Lokd ! I have made thy word my choice,

My lasting heritage; There shall my noblest powers rejoice,

My warmest thoughts engage.

2 I' 11 read the histories of thy love, And keep thy laws in sight,

While through the promises I rove, With ever-fresh delight.

3 'T is a broad land of wealth unknown, Where springs of life arise ;

Seeds of immortal bliss are sown, And hidden glory lies : —

4 The best relief that mourners have; It makes our sorrows blest: —

Our fairest hope beyond the grave, And our eternal rest.

How shall the young secure their hearts, And guard their lives from sin?

Thy word the choicest rules imparts To keep the conscience clean.

2 When once it enters to the mind, It spreads such light abroad;

The meanest souls instruction find, And raise their thoughts to God.

3 'Tis like the sun, a heavenly light, That guides us all the day;

And, through the dangers of the night, A lamp to lead our way.

4 Thy precepts make me truly wise ; I hate the sinner's road;

I hate my own vain thoughts that rise, But love thy law, my God !

5 Thy word is everlasting truth; How pure is every page !

That holy book shall guide our youth, And well support our age.

Oh, that the Lord would guide my ways

To keep his statutes still: Oh, that my God would grant me grace

To know and do his will.

2 Oh, send thy Spirit down, to write Thy law upon my heart;

Nor let my tongue indulge deceit, Or act the liar's part.

3 From vanity turn-off my eyes ; Let no corrupt design,

Nor covetous desires, arise Within this soul of mine.

4 Order my footsteps by thy word, And make my heart sincere;

Let sin have no dominion, Lord ! But keep my conscience clear.

5 Make me to walk in thy commands — 'Tis a delightful road;

Nor let my head, or heart, or hands, Offend against my God.

That from the hallowed page, A lantern to our footsteps,

Shines on from age to age.

2 The Church from her dear Master Received the gift divine,

And still that light she lifteth

O'er all the earth to shine. It is the golden casket

Where gems of truth are stored, It is the heaven-drawn picture

Of Christ the living Word.

3 Oh, make thy Church, dear Saviour, A lamp of burnished gold,

To bear before the nations

Thy true light as of old; Oh, teach thy wandering pilgrims

By this their path to trace, Till, clouds and darkness ended,

They see thee face to face.

Altl Psalm 19. J. CONDER.

The heavens declare his glory,

Their Maker's skill the skies; Each day repeats the story,

And night to night replies. Their silent proclamation

Throughout the earth is heard; The record of creation,

The page of nature's word.

2 So pure, so soul-restoring, Is truth's diviner ray;

A brighter radiance pouring Than all the pomp of day:

The wanderer surely guiding, It makes the simple wise;

And, evermore abiding, Unfailing joy supplies.

3 Thy word is richer treasure Than lurks within the mine ;

And daintiest fare less pleasure Yields than this food divine.

How wise each kind monition ! Led by thy counsels, Lord,

How safe the saints' condition, How great is their reward !

The Everlasting thou !

Or grasses in the meadows That blossom but to die:

A sleep, a dream, a story, By strangers quickly told,

An unremaining glory

Of things that soon are old.

Teach us aright to number Our years before they fail 1

On us thy mercy lighten, On us thy goodness rest,

And let thy Spirit brighten The hearts thyself hast blessed !

On mountains and in valleys Where'er we go is God;

The cottage and the palace, Alike are his abode. 6

With watchful eye abiding

Upon us with delight; Our souls, in him confiding,

He keeps both day and night.

2 Above me and beside me,

My God is ever near, To watch, protect, and guide me,

Whatever ills appear. Though other friends may fail me;

In sorrow's dark abode, Though death itself assail me,

I'm ever safe with God.

*- 4 (J Sovereign Love. J. conder.

'Tis not that I did choose thee,

For, Lord ! that could not be; This heart would still refuse thee;

But thou hast chosen me; — Hast, from the sin that stained me,

Washed me and set me free, And to this end ordained me,

That I should five to thee.

2 'Twas sovereign mercy called me,

And taught my opening mind; The world had else enthralled me,

To heavenly glories blind. My heart owns none above thee;

For thy rich grace I thirst; This knowing, — if I love thee,

Thou must have loved me first.

Thy heights of love, thy depths of power.

Wait, O my soul ! thy Maker's will; Tumultuous passions, all be still ! Nor let a murmuring thought arise; His ways are just, his counsels wise.

2 He in the thickest darkness dwells, Performs his work, the cause conceals; But, though his methods are unknown, Judgment and truth support his throne.

3 In heaven, and earth, and air, and seas, He executes his firm decrees;

And by his saints it stands confessed, That what he does is ever best.

4 Wait, then, my soul ! submissive wait, Prostrate before his awful seat;

And, 'mid the terrors of his rod, Trust in a wise and gracious God.

*"'' In Nature. — Ps. 19. j. addison.

The spacious firmament on high,

With all the blue ethereal sky,

And spangled heavens, a shining frame,

Their great Original proclaim:

The unwearied sun, from day to day,

Does his Creator's power display;

And publishes to every land

The work of an almighty hand.

2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale; And nightly, to the listening earth, Repeats the story of her birth ; While all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll,

And spread the truth from pole to pole.

3 What though in solemn silence, all Move round the dark terrestrial ball, — What though no real voice nor sound Amid their radiant orbs be found, —

In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, For ever singing as they shine, — "The hand that made us is divine."

i"* In the Seasons. p. doddridgb.

Eternal Source of every joy,

Well may thy praise our lips employ,

While in thy temple we appear,

To hail thee, sovereign of the year 1

Wide as the wheels of nature roll,

Thy hand supports and guides the whole,

The sun is taught by thee to rise,

And darkness when to vail the skies.

2 The flowery spring at thy command, Perfumes the air, adorns the land; The summer rays with vigor shine,

To raise the corn, to cheer the vine. Thy hand, in autumn, richly pours, Through all our coasts redundant stores: And winters, softened by thy care, No more the face of horror wear.

3 Seasons and months, and weeks and days, Demand successive songs of praise ;

Arid be the grateful homage paid, With morning light and evening shade. Here in thy house let incense rise, And circling Sabbaths bless our eyes, Till to those lofty heights we soar, Where days and years revolve no more.

I am surrounded still with God.

Or who the almighty Three in One By searching, to perfection find ?

2 Bat weaker yet that thought must prove To search thy great eternal plan, —

Thy sovereign counsels, born of love Long ages ere the world began.

3 When my dim reason would demand Why that, or this, thou dost ordain,

By some vast deep I seem to' stand, Whose secrets I must ask in vain.

4 When doubts disturb my troubled breast, And all is dark as night to me,

Here, as on solid rock, I rest; That so it seemeth good to thee.

5 Be this my joy, that evermore Thou rulest all things at thy will:

Thy sovereign wisdom I adore,

And calmly, sweetly, trust thee still.

The Lord, our God, is full of might,

The winds obey his will; He speaks, — and, in his heavenly height,

The rolling sun stands still.

2 Rebel, ye waves, and o'er the land With threatning aspect roar;

The Lord uplifts his awful hand, And chains you to the shore.

3 Howl, winds of night, your force combine ; Without his high behest,

Ye shall not, in the mountain pine, Disturb the sparrow's nest.

4 His voice sublime is heard afar, In distant peals it dies;

He yokes the whirlwind to his car, And sweeps the howling skies.

'5 Ye nations, bend — in reverence bend;

Ye monarchs, wait his nod, And bid the choral song ascend

To celebrate your God.

Keep silence, all created things 1

And wait your Maker's nod ; My soul stands trembling, while she sings

The honors of her God.

2 Life, death, and hell, and worlds unknown, Hang on his firm decree;

He sits on no precarious throne, Nor borrows leave to be.

3 His providence unfolds the book, And makes his counsels shine;

Each opening leaf, and every stroke, Fulfills some deep design.

4 My God ! I would not long to see My fate, with curious eyes —

What gloomy lines are writ for me, Or what bright scenes may rise.

5 In thy fair book of life and grace, Oh, may I find my name

Recorded in some humble place, Beneath my Lord, the Lamb.

There is a book that all may read, Which heavenly truth imparts,

And all the lore its scholars need, Pure eyes and Christian hearts.

2 The works of God above, below, Within us and around,

Are pages in that book, to show How God himself is found.

3 The glorious sky, embracing all, Is like the Maker's love,

Wherewith encompassed, great and small In peace and order move.

4 The dew of heaven is like thy grace, It steals in silence down;

But where it lights, the favored place By richest fruits is known.

5 Thou, who hast given me eyes to see, And love this sight so fair,

Give me a heart to find out thee, And read thee everywhere.

G. BURDER.

X«7t! Love.

Come, ye that know and fear the Lord, And raise your thoughts above:

Let every heart and voice accord, To sing that " God is love."

2 This precious truth his word declares, And all his mercies prove;

Jesus, the gift of gifts, appears, To show that " God is love."

3 Behold his patience, bearing long With those who from him rove;

Till mighty grace their hearts subdues, To teach them — " God is love."

4 Oh, may we all, while here below, This best of blessings prove ;

Till warmer hearts, in brighter worlds, Proclaim that "God is love."

*•"" Omnipresence. — Ps. 139. 1. watts

In all my vast concerns with thee,

In vain my soul would try To shun thy presence, Lord ! or flee

The notice of thine eye.

2 Thine all-surrounding sight surveys My rising and my rest,

My public walks, my private ways, And secrets of my breast.

3 My thoughts lie open to the Lord, Before they're formed within;

And, ere my lips pronounce the word, He knows the sense I mean.

4 Oh, wondrous knowledge, deep and high, Where can a creature hide ?

Within thy circling arms I lie, Enclosed on every side.

5 So let thy grace surround me still, And like a bulwark prove,

To guard my soul from every ill, Secured by sovereign love.

£i"£i Omniscience.— Ps. 139. 1. watts.

Lord ! where shall guilty souls retire,

Forgotten and unknown ? In hell they meet thy dreadful fire —

In heaven thy glorious throne.

2 If, winged with beams of morning light, I fly beyond the west,

Thy hand, which must support my flight, Would soon betray my rest.

3 If, o'er my sins, I think to draw The curtains of the night,

Those flaming eyes, that guard thy law, Would turn the shades to light.

4 The beams of noon, the midnight hour, Are both alike to thee:

Oh, may I ne'er provoke that power, From which I cannot flee. .

If I survey the ground I tread, Or gaze upon the sky !

By order from thy throne. Creatures that borrow life from thee

Are subject to thy care; There's not a place where we can flee,

Sing the sweet promise of his grace, And the performing God.

3 His very word of grace is strong, As that which built the skies;

God moves in a mysterious way

His wonders to perform ; He plants his footsteps in the sea,

And rides upon the storm.

2 Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill,

He treasures up his bright designs, And works his sovereign will.

3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take ! The clouds ye so much dread,

Are big with mercy, and will break In blessings on your head.

4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust him for his grace;

Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face.

5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour;

The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower.

6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan his work in vain;

God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain.

Lift with thy hands a holy heart To his sublime abode.

3 With sacred awe pronounce his name, Whom words nor thoughts can reach;

A broken heart shall please him more Than the best forms of speech.

4 Thou holy God ! preserve our souls From all pollution free;

The pure in heart are thy delight, And they thy face shall see.

For the bliss thy love bestows; For the pardoning grace that saves me,

And the peace that from it flows: Help, 0 God, my weak endeavor;

This dull soul to rapture raise; Thou must light the flame, or never

Can my soul be warmed to praise.

Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee From the paths of death away;

Praise, with love's devoutest feeling, Him who saw thy guilt-born fear,

And, the light of hope revealing, Bade the blood-stained cross appear.

3 Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling Vainly would my lips express:

Low before thy footstool kneeling, Deign thy suppliant's prayer to bless;

Let thy grace, my soul's chief treasure, Love's pure flame within me raise;

And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth thy praise.

There is mercy with the Saviour; There is healing in his blood.

3 For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind;

God of Hosts! when heaven and earth, Out of darkness, at thy word

Issued into glorious birth, All thy works before thee stood, And thine eye beheld them good, While they sung with sweet accord, Holy, holy, holy Lord !

One Jehovah evermore, Father, Son, and Spirit ! we,

Dust and ashes, would adore:

Divine Presence.

Lord of earth ! thy forming hand Well this beauteous frame hath planned ; Woods that wave, and hills that tower, Ocean rolling in his power: Yet, amid this scene so fair, Should I cease thy smile to share, What were all its joys to me? Whom have I on earth but thee ?

2 Lord of heaven ! beyond our sight Shines a world of purer light ; There in love's unclouded reign Parted hands shall meet again: Oh, that world is passing fair ! Yet, if thou wert absent there, What were all its joys to me? Whom have I in heaven but thee?

0 God, to us show mercy,

And bless us in thy grace; Cause thou to shine upon us

The brightness of thy face: That so throughout all nations

Thy way may be well known, And unto every people

Thy saving health be shown.

2 0 God, let people praise thee, Let all the people praise;

Oh, let the nations joyful

Their songs of gladness raise:

For thou shalt judge the people In truth and righteousness;

And on the earth all nations Shall thy just rule confess.

3 0 God, let people praise thee; Thy praises let them sing;

And then in rich abundance The earth her fruit shall bring:

The Lord our God shall bless us, God shall his blessing send;

And people all shall fear him To earth's remotest end.

God is love ; his mercy brightens All the path in which we rove ;

Bliss he wakes and woe he lightens ; God is wisdom, God is love.

2 Chance and change are busy ever ; Man decays, and ages move ;

But his mercy waneth never ; God is wisdom, God is love.

3 Ev'n the hour that darkest seemeth, Will his changeless goodness prove ;

From the gloom his brightness streameth ; God is wisdom, God is love.

4 He with earthly cares entwineth Hope and comfort from above;

Everywhere his glory shineth ; God is wisdom, God is love.

GOD: — THE FATHER.

3 These speak of thee with loud acclaim; They thunder forth thy praise —

The glorious honor of thy name,

The wonders of thy ways ; But thou art not in tempest-flame,

Nor in the noon-day blaze.

4 We hear thy voice, when thunders roll Through the wide fields of air :

The waves obey thy dread control ;

Yet still thou art not there : Where shall I find him, 0 my soul !

Who yet is everywhere %

5 Oh, not in circling depth or height, But in the conscious breast,

Present by faith, though vailed from sight,

There doth his Spirit rest : Oh, come, thou Presence infinite !

And make thy creature blest.

Or bow at thy right hand,

And pay their homage there ; But strive in vain with loudest chord, To sound thy wondrous love, 0 Lord.

3 Yet sinners saved by grace, In songs of lower key,

In every age and place,

Have sung the mystery, — Have told in strains of sweet accord, Thy love, thy sovereign love, 0 Lord.

The weakest shall prevail,

And grasp the heavenly prize, And through an endless age record Thy love, thy changeless love, 0 Lord.

And on the wings of mighty winds Came flying all abroad.

And he, as sovereign Lord and King, For evermore shall reign.

4 The Lord will give his people strength, Whereby they shall increase ;

And he will bless his chosen flock With everlasting peace.

Give worship to his majesty, Upon his holy throne.

3 To God I cried when troubles rose ; He heard me, and subdued my foes ; He did my rising fears control,

And strength diffused thro' all my soul.

4 Amidst a thousand snares I stand, Upheld and guarded by thy hand ; Thy words my fainting soul revive, And keep my dying faith alive.

5 Grace will complete what grace begins, To save from sorrows and from sins ; The work that wisdom undertakes, Eternal mercy ne'er forsakes.

The wind that tossed my foundering bark. Deep horror then my vitals froze;

Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem; When suddenly a star arose,

It was the Star of Bethlehem !

3 It was my guide, my light, my all; It bade my dark forebodings cease,

And through the storm and danger's thrall It led me to the port of peace.

Now safely moored, my perils o'er, I'll sing, first in night's diadem,

When Jordan hushed his waters still, And silence slept on Zion's hill; When Salem's shepherds thro' the night Watched o'er their flocks by starry light;

2 Hark ! from the midnight hills around, A voice of more than mortal sound

In distant hallelujahs stole,

Wild murmuring o'er the raptured soul.

3 On wheels of light, on wings of flame, The glorious hosts to Zion came;

High heaven with songs of triumph rung, While thus they struck their harps and sung :

4 "O Zion! lift thy raptured eye; The long expected hour is nigh: The joys of nature rise again,

The Prince of Salem comes to reign.

5 "He comes to cheer the trembling heart, Bids Satan and his host depart;

Again the Daystar gilds the gloom, Again the bowers of Eden bloom."

6 O Zion ! lift thy raptured eye; The long-expected hour is nigh; The joys of nature rise again:

The Prince of Salem comes to reign.

2 Once did the skies before thee bow; A virgin's arms contain thee now; Angels, who did in thee rejoice,

Now listen for thine infant voice.

3 A little child, thou art our guest, That weary ones in thee may rest; Forlorn and lowly is thy birth,

That we may rise to heaven from earth.

4 Thou comest in the darksome night To make us children of the light;

To make us, in the realms divine, Like thine own angels round thee shine.

And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise.

Before the heavens were spread abroad, From everlasting was the Word;

With God he was, the Word was God ! And must divinely be adored.

2 Ere sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the host of morning stars:

His generation who can tell,

Or count the number of his years ?

3 But lo, he leaves those heavenly forms: The Word descends and dwells in clay,

That he may converse hold with worms, Dressed in such feeble flesh as they.

4 Mortals with joy behold his face, The eternal Father's only Son:

How full of truth, how full of grace, When in his eyes the Godhead shone !

The love of our descending God, The glories of Immanuel.

Hark ! the herald angels sing " Glory to the new-born King; Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled 1" Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With the angelic host proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem !

2 Christ, by highest heaven adored; Christ, the everlasting Lord;

Late in time behold him come, Offspring of the Virgin's womb: Y ailed in flesh the Godhead see; Hail the incarnate Deity, Pleased as man with men to dwell; Jesus, our Immanuel !

3 Hail 1 the heaven-born Prince of Peace Hail the Sun of Righteousness !

Light and life to all he brings, Risen with healing in his wings: Mild he lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die: Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth.

/w40 " The Christ of God." h. bonar.

He has come ! the Christ of God Left for us his glad abode ; Stooping from his throne of bliss, To this darksome wilderness. He has come ! the Prince of Peace; Come to bid our sorrows cease; Come to scatter with his light All the shadows of our night.

2 He the mighty King has come ! Making this poor earth his home; Come to bear our sin's sad load; Son of David, Son of God !

He has come, whose name of grace Speaks deliverance to our race; Left for us his glad abode; Son of Mary, Son of God 1

He has come from God's own heaven, Bringing with him from above Holy peace and holy love.

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

iW^O c. m, Dj "The Age of Gold." e. h. sears.

It came upon the midnight clear,

That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth

To touch their harps of gold ; " Peace to the earth, good-will to man,

From heaven's all-gracions King : " The earth in solemn stillness lay,

To hear the angels sing.

2 Still through the cloven skies they With peaceful wings unfurled ; [come,

And still celestial music floats

O'er all the weary world ; Above its sad and lowly plains

They bend on heavenly wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds,

The blessed angels sing.

3 0 ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low,

Who toil along the climbing way, With painful steps and slow ; —

Look up ! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing ;

Oh, rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing !

4 For lo ! the days are hastening on, By prophet-bards foretold,

When with the ever-circling years Comes round the age of gold !

When peace shall over all the earth Its final splendors fling,

And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing !

'•^f 7S, D. " All hail the morn J '" German.

Hail the night, all hail the morn, When the Prince of Peace was born ! When, amid the wakeful fold, Tidings good the angels told Now our solemn chant we raise Duly to the Saviour's praise Now with carol hymns we bless Christ the Lord, our righteousness.

2 While resounds the joyful cry, " Glory be to God on high, Peace on earth, good-will to men ! " Gladly we respond, " Amen ! " Thus we greet this holy day, Pouring forth our festive lay ; Thus we tell, with saintly mirth, Of Immanuel's wondrous birth.

2 Cold on his cradle the dew-drops are

shining ; Low lies his head with the beasts of

the stall : Angels adore him, in slumber reclining, Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of

all!

3 Say shall we yield him, in costly de-

votion, Odors of Edom, and offerings divine ? Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine ?

4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gold would his favor secure:

Richer, by far, is the heart's adoration; Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

2 God with us ! the eternal Son Took our soul, our flesh, and bone ; Now, ye saints, his grace admire, Swell the song with holy fire.

3 God with us ! but tainted not With the first transgressor's blot ; Yet did he our sins sustain, Bear the guilt, the curse, the pain.

That we may Immanuel sing, As we ought, our God and King !

Awake, awake the sacred song

To our incarnate Lord ! Let every heart and every tongue

Adore the eternal Word.

2 That awful Word, that sovereign

Power, By whom the worlds were made — Oh, happy morn ! illustrious hour ! — Was once in flesh arrayed !

3 Then shone almighty power and love, In all their glorious forms,

When Jesus left his throne above, To dwell with sinful worms.

4 Adoring angels tuned their songs To hail the joyful day ;

With rapture then let mortal tongues Their grateful worship pay.

Hark, the glad sound ! the Saviour The Saviour promised long ; [comes,

Let every heart prepare a throne, And every voice a song.

2 He comes, the prisoner to release, In Satan's bondage held ;

The gates of brass before him burst, The iron fetters yield.

3 He comes, from thickest films of vice To clear the mental ray,

And, on the eyes long closed in night, To pour celestial day.

4 He comes, the broken heart to bind, The bleeding soul to cure,

And, with the treasures of his grace, Enrich the humble poor.

5 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace, Thy welcome shall proclaim,

And heaven's eternal arches ring With thy beloved name.

Mortals, awake, with angels join

And chant the solemn lay ; Joy, love, and gratitude combine

To hail the auspicious day. 2 In heaven the rapturous song began,

And sweet seraphic fire Through all the shining legions ran,

And strung and tuned the lyre.

97

3 Swift through the vast expanse it flew, And loud the echo rolled ;

The theme, the song, the joy, was new, 'T was more than heaven could hold.

4 Down through the portals of the sky The impetuous torrent ran •

And angels flew, with eager joy, To bear the news to man.

5 Hark ! the cherubic armies shout, And glory leads the song ;

"Good- will and peace" are heard thro'- Th' harmonious angel-throng. [out

Good- will and peace are now complete ; Jesus was born to die ! "

And seraphs find employ For their sublimest strains ;

Jesus forsakes the sky,

To earth his footsteps bend ; He comes to bless our fallen race ; He comes with messages of grace.

What love in God is found, What pity he can show ; Ye winds that blow ! ye waves that roll \ Bear the glad news from pole to pole.

How sweetly flowed the gospel sound From lips of gentleness and grace,

When listening thousands gathered round, And joy and gladness filled the place !

2 From heaven he came, of heaven he spoke, To heaven he led his followers' way ;

Dark clouds of gloomy night he broke, Unvailing an immortal day.

3 " Come, wanderers, to my Father's home, Come, all ye weary ones, and rest:"

Yes, sacred Teacher, we will come, Obey thee, love thee, and be blest!

4 Decay then, tenements of dust; Pillars of earthly pride, decay:

A nobler mansion waits the just , And Jesus has prepared the way.

ttOO "Holy, harmless.'" A. c. coxe.

How beauteous were the marks divine, That in thy meekness used to shine, That lit thy lonely pathway, trod In wondrous love, O Son of God !

2 Oh, who like thee, so calm, so bright, So pure, so made to live in fight ?

Oh, who like thee did ever go

So patient through a world of woe ?

3 Oh, who like thee so humbly bore The scorn, the scoffs of men, before? So meek, forgiving, godlike, fiigh, So glorious in humility ?

4 Even death , which sets the prisoner free , Was pang, and scoff, and scorn to thee; Yet love through all thy torture glowed, And mercy with thy life-blood flowed.

5 Oh, in thy fight be mine to go, Illuming all my way of woe ! And give me ever on the road

To trace thy footsteps, Son of God.

â„¢ww " He healed them."1 j. Montgomery.

When, like a stranger on our sphere, The lowly Jesus wandered here, Where'er he went, affliction fled, And sickness reared her fainting head

2 The eye that rolled in irksome night, Beheld his face — for God is light; The opening ear, the loosened tongue, His precepts heard, his praises sung.

3 With bounding steps the halt and lame, To hail their great Deliverer came;

O'er the cold grave he bowed his head, He spake the word, and raised the dead.

4 Despairing madness, dark and wild, In his inspiring presence smiled;

The storm of horror ceased to roll, And reason lightened through the soul.

5 Through paths of loving-kindness led, Where Jesus triumphed we would tread; To all, with willing hands dispense

The gifts of our benevolence.

Appears each grace divine ! The virtues, all in Jesus met,

2 To spread the rays of heavenly light, To give the mourner joy,

To preach glad tidings to the poor, Was his divine employ.

3 'Mid keen reproach and cruel scorn, He meek and patient stood;

His foes, ungrateful, sought his life, Who labored for their good.

4 In the last hour of deep distress, Before his Father's throne,

With soul resigned he bowed and said, — "Thy will, not mine, be done !"

5 Be Christ our pattern, and our guide, His image may we bear;

Oh, may we tread his holy steps, — His joy and glory share.

Then I am dead to all the globe, And all the globe is dead to me.

5 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small;

Love so amazing, so divine,

Demands my soul, my life, my all.

''For me."

H. BONAR.

276

Jesus, whom angel hosts adore, Became a man of griefs for me ;

In love, though rich, becoming poor, That I through him enriched might be.

2 Though Lord of all, above, below, He went to Olivet for me:

There drank my cup of wrath and woe, When bleeding in Gethsemane.

3 The ever-blessed Son of God Went up to Calvary for me;

There paid my debt, there bore my load. In his own body on the tree.

4 Jesus, whose dwelling is the skies, Went down into the grave for me;

There overcame my enemies, There won the glorious victory.

5 'Tis finished all: the vail is rent, The welcome sure, the access free: — ■

Now then, we leave our banishment, O Father, to return to thee !

1. A-Ias ! and did my Saviour deed, And did my Sovereign die ? Would he deTote that sacred, head For such a worm as 1 ?

â– I I " Grace unknown." i. watts.

Alas ! and did my Saviour bleed,

And did my Sovereign die? Would he devote that sacred head

For such a worm as I?

2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree ?

Amazing pity ! grace unknown ! And love beyond degree !

3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in,

When Christ, the great Creator, died For man, the creature's sin.

4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While his dear cross appears;

Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes to tears.

5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe ;

Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'T is all that I can do.

â„¢ ' O Suffered for sin. I. watts-

Oh, if my soul were formed for woe,

How would I vent my sighs I Repentance should like rivers flow

From both my streaming eyes.

2 'Twas for my sins my dearest Lord Hung on the curse'd tree,

And groaned away a dying life For thee, my soul ! for thee.

3 Oh, how I hate these lusts ot mine That crucified my Lord;

Those sins that pierced and nailed his flesh Fast to the fatal wood !

4 Yes, my Redeemer — they shall die; My heart has so decreed;

Nor will I spare the guilty things That made my Saviour bleed.

5 While with a melting, broken heart, My murdered Lord I view,

I'll raise revenge against my sins, And slay the murderers too.

U to The two Looks. J. newton.

1 saw One hanging on a tree, In agony and blood;

Who fixed his languid eyes on me, As near the cross I stood.

2 Sure, never, till my latest breath, Can I forget that look:

It seemed to charge me with his death, Though not a word he spoke.

3 Alas 1 I knew not what I did, — But now my tears are vain;

Where shall my trembling soul be hid, For I the Lord have slain !

4 A second look he gave, that said, "I freely all forgive:

This blood is for thy ransom paid; I die that thou may'st five."

5 Thus while his death my sin displays In all its blackest hue,

Such is the mystery of grace, It seals my pardon too 1

<W O" " He remembers Calvary?' I. watts.

How condescending and how kind

Was God's eternal Son 1 Our misery reached his heavenly mind,

And pity brought him down.

2 He sunk beneath our heavy woes,

To raise us to his throne ; There's ne'er a gift his hand bestows,

But cost his heart a groan.

3 This was compassion, like a God, That when the Saviour knew

The price of pardon was his blood, His pity ne'er withdrew.

4 Now, though he reigns exalted high, His love is still as great;

Well he remembers Calvary, Nor let his saints forget.

&0 *- "O Christ of God!" ray palmer.

0 Jesus, sweet the tears I shed, While at thy cross I kneel,

Gaze on thy wounded, fainting head, And all thy sorrows feel.

2 My heart dissolves to see thee bleed, This heart so hard before;

1 hear thee for the guilty plead,

And grief o'erflows the more.

3 I know this cleansing blood of thine Was shed, dear Lord, for me:

For me, for all, — oh, grace divine ! — Who look by faith on thee.

4 0 Christ of God, O spotless Lamb, By love my soul is drawn ;

Henceforth, for ever, thine I am; Here life and peace are born.

5 In patient hope, the cross I'll bear, Thine arm shall be my stay ;

And thou, enthroned, my soul shalt spare, On thy great judgment-day.

Hail, thou once despised Jesus !

Crowned in mockery a king ! Thou didst suffer to release us ;

Thou didst free salvation bring. Hail, thou agonizing Saviour,

Bearer of our sin and shame ! By thy merits we find favor;

Life is given through thy name.

2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,

All our sins on thee were laid; By Almighty Love anointed,

Thou hast full atonement made: All thy people are forgiven

Through the virtue of thy blood; Opened is the gate of heaven,

Peace is made 'twixt man and God.

Now the gracious Mediator Risen to the courts of bliss,

Claims for me, a sinful creature, Pardon, righteousness, and peace

3 Sure such infinite affection

Lays the highest claims to mine ; All my powers, without exception,

Should in fervent praises join. Jesus, fit me for thy service;

Form me for thyself alone ; I am thy most costly purchase, —

Take possession of thine own.

MORAVIAN

On the cross.

283

When I view my Saviour bleeding,

For my sins, upon the tree ; Oh, how wondrous ! — how exceeding

Great his love appears to me ! Floods of deep distress and anguish,

To impede his labors, came; Yet they all could not extinguish

Love's eternal, burning flame.

2 Now redemption is completed, Full salvation is procured;

Death and Satan are defeated, By the sufferings he endured.

284

Cross, reproach, and tribulation !

Ye to me are welcome guests, When I have this consolation,

That my soul in Jesus rests. The reproach of Christ is glorious !

Those who here his burden bear, In the end shall prove victorious,

And eternal gladness share.

2 Bonds and stripes, and evil story,

Are our honorable crowns; Pain is peace, and shame is glory,

Gloomy dungeons are as thrones. Bear, then, the reproach of Jesus,

Ye who five a life of faith ! Lift triumphant songs and praises

Ev'n in martyrdom and death.

£OtF "Near the Cross." ]. w. Alexander, tr.

Near the cross was Mary weeping, There her mournful station keeping,

Gazing on her dying Son: There in speechless anguish groaning, Yearning, trembling, sighing, moaning,

Through her soul the sword had gone !

2 But we have no need to borrow Motives from the mother's sorrow,

At our Saviour's cross to mourn : 'Twas our sins brought him from heaven, These the cruel nails had driven:

All his griefs for us were borne.

3 When no eye its pity gave us, When there was no arm to save us,

He his love and power displayed: By his stripes he wrought our healing, By his death, our life revealing,

He for us the ransom paid.

4 Jesus, may thy love constrain us, That from sin we may refrain us,

In thy griefs may deeply grieve: Thee our best affections giving, To thy glory ever living,

May we in thy glory live.

rffiOO " it is finished.''' H. bonar.

From the cross the blood is falling, And to us a voice is calling

Like a trumpet silver-clear : 'Tis the voice announcing pardon — It is finished, is its burden,

Pardon to the far and near.

2 Peace that glorious blood is sealing, All our wounds for ever healing,

And removing every load; Words of peace that voice has spoken, Peace that shall no more be broken,

Peace between the soul and God.

H. HEDGE, tr.

»" * "Day of darkness."

'Twas the day when God's Anointed Died for us the death appointed,

Bleeding on the dreadful cross; Day of darkness, day of terror, Deadly fruit of ancient error,

Nature's fall, and Eden's loss !

2 Haste, prepare the bitter chalice ! Gentile hate and Jewish malice

Lift the royal Victim high; Like the serpent, wonder-gifted, Which the prophet once uplifted,

For a sinful world to die.

3 Conscious of the deed unholy, Nature's pulses beat more slowly,

And the sun his light denied; Darkness wrapped the sacred city, And the earth with fear and pity

Trembled, when the Just One died

4 Not in vain for us uplifted, Man of sorrows, wonder-gifted,

May that sacred symbol be; Eminent amid the ages, Guide of heroes and of sages,

May it guide us still to thee.

Thy gracious Name we sing: That Name hath brought salvation,

That Name, in life our stay; Our peace, our consolation

When life shall fade away.

2 Yet doth the world disdain thee, Still pressing by thy cross:

Lord, may our hearts retain thee;

All else we count but loss. The grief thy soul endured,

Who can that grief declare ? Thy pains have thus assured

That thou thy foes wilt spare.

3 Ah, Lord, our sins arraigned thee, And nailed thee to the tree :

Our pride, 0 Lord, disdained thee; — Yet deign our hope to be.

Alone can keep me clean.

2 'Tis only in thee hiding I know my life secure —

Only in thee abiding, The conflict can endure:

Thine arm the victory gaineth O'er every hateful foe;

Thy love my heart sustaineth In all its care and woe.

3 Soon shall my eyes behold thee, With rapture, face to face;

One half hath not been told me Of all thy power and grace:

Thy beauty, Lord, and glory, The wonders of thy love,

Shall be the endless story Of all the saints above.

He knelt, the Saviour knelt and prayed,

When but his Father's eye Looked through the lonely garden's shade,

On that dread agony ; The Lord of all above, beneath, Was bowed with sorrow unto death.

2 The sun set in a fearful hour, The skies might well grow dim,

When this mortality had power

So to o'ershadow him ! That he who gave man's breath, might The very depths of human woe. [know

3 He knew them all ; the doubt, the The faint, perplexing dread ; [strife,

The mists that hang o'er parting life,

All darkened round his head ; And the Deliverer knelt to pray ; Yet passed it not, that cup, away.

4 It passed not, though the stormy wave Had sunk beneath his tread ;

It passed not, though to him the grave

Had yielded up its dead. But there was sent him from on high, A gift of strength for man to die.

5 And was his mortal hour beset With anguish and dismay ?

How may we meet our conflict yet,

In the dark, narrow way ? How but through him, that path who Save or we perish, Son of God ! [trod %

3 And while at thy command we pray, Give us our bread from day to day, May we with thee, O Christ, be fed, Thou Word of God, thou Living Bread.

Chkist, the Lord, is risen to-day, Sons of men, and angels, say ; Raise your joys and triumphs high ! Sing, ye heavens ! and earth, reply !

2 Love's redeeming work is done, Fought the fight, the battle won; Lo, our Sun's eclipse is o'er;

Lo, he sets in blood no more.

3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal; Christ hath burst the gates of hell; Death in vain forbids his rise; Christ hath opened Paradise.

4 Lives again our glorious King; "Where, O Death, is now thy sting?" Once he died our souls to save; "Where's thy victory, boasting Grave?"

5 Soar we now where Christ has led, Following our exalted Head; Made like him, like him we rise; Ours the cross, the grave, the skies !

»"W Joy in the Lord. T. kell

Joyful be the hours to-day;

Joyful let the seasons be; Let us sing, for well we may:

Jesus ! we will sing of thee.

2 Should thy people silent be, Then the very stones would sing:

What a debt we owe to thee,

Thee our Saviour, thee our King !

3 Joyful are we now to own, Rapture thrills us as we trace

All the deeds thy love hath done, All the riches of thy grace.

4 'Tis thy grace alone can save; Every blessing comes from thee —

All we have, and hope to have, All we are, and hope to be.

5 Thine the Name to sinners dear ! Thine the Name all names before !

Blessed here and everywhere; Blessed now and evermore !

Hail the day that sees him rise, Glorious, to his native skies ! Christ, awhile to mortals given, Enters now the gates of heaven.

2 There the glorious triumph waits; Lift your heads, eternal gates ! Christ hath vanquished death and sin; Take the King of glory in.

3 See, the heaven its Lord receives ! Yet he loves the earth he leaves:

Though returning to his throne, Still he calls mankind his own.

4 Still for us he intercedes, His prevailing death he pleads; Near himself prepares a place, Great Forerunner of our race.

5 What, though parted from our sight, Far above yon starry height; Thither our affections rise, Following him beyond the skies.

Jesus comes, his conflict over, — Comes to claim his great reward;

Angels round the "Victor hover, Crowding to behold then* Lord;

Haste, ye saints ! your tribute bring,

Crown him, everlasting King.

2 Yonder throne for him erected, Now becomes the Victor's seat;

Lo, the Man on earth rejected !

Angels worship at his feet: Haste, ye saints ! your tribute bring, Crown him, everlasting King.

3 Day and night they cry before him,- "Holy, holy, holy Lord!"

All the powers of heaven adore him,

All obey his sovereign word; Haste, ye saints ! your tribute bring, Crown him, everlasting King.

©A" Isaiah 63: 1. t. kelly

Who is this that comes from Edom, All his raiment stained with blood;

To the slave proclaiming freedom; Bringing and bestowing good:

Glorious in the garb he wears,

Glorious in the spoils he bears ?

2 'Tis the Saviour, now victorious, Travelling onward in his might;

'Tis the Saviour, oh, how glorious To his people is the sight !

Jesus now is strong to save ;

Mighty to redeem the slave.

v-

3 Why that blood his raiment staining ? 'Tis the blood of many slain;

Of his foes there 's none remaining,

None the contest to maintain: Fallen they, no more to rise, All their glory prostrate lies.

4 Mighty Victor, reign for ever; Wear the crown so dearly won;

Never shall thy people, never

Cease to sing what thou hast done ; Thou hast fought thy people's foes; Thou hast healed thy people's woes.

Q1 1

WAX All glory to Christ. t. kelly.

Glory, glory to our King !

Crowns unfading wreathe his head; Jesus is the name we sing, —

Jesus, risen from the dead; Jesus, Conqueror o'er the grave; Jesus, mighty now to save.

2 Jesus is gone up on high: Angels come to meet their King;

Shouts triumphant rend the sky,

While the Victor's praise they sing: "Open now, ye heavenly gates ! 'Tis the King of glory waits."

3 Now behold him high enthroned, Glory beaming from his face,

By adoring angels owned,

God of holiness and grace ! Oh, for hearts and tongues to sing — " Glory, glory to our King !"

See, the Conqueror mounts in triumph

See the King in royal state, Riding on the clouds, his chariot,

To his heavenly palace gate ! Hark ! the choirs of angel voices

Joyful hallelujahs sing, And the portals high are lifted

To receive their heavenly King.

2 Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee?

Lord of battles, God of armies,

He has gained the victory; He, who on the cross did suffer,

He, who from the grave arose, He has vanquished sin and Satan,

He by death has spoiled his foes.

3 Thou hast raised our human nature, On the clouds to God's right hand;

There we sit in heavenly places, There with thee in glory stand;

Jesus reigns, adored by angels; Man with God is on the throne;

Mighty Lord I in thine ascension, We by faith behold our own.

4 Lift us up from earth to heaven, Give us wings of faith and love,

Gales of holy aspirations, Wafting us to realms above;

That, with hearts and minds uplifted, We with Christ our Lord may dwell.

Where he sits enthroned in glory, In the heavenly citadel.

5 So at last, when he appeareth,

We from out our graves may spring, With our youth renewed like eagles',

Flocking round our heavenly King, Caught up on the clouds of heaven,

And may meet him in the air — Rise to realms where he is reigning,

And may reign for ever there.

In his word his light arises,

Brightest beams of truth and grace ;

Bind, oh, bind your sacrifices, In his courts your offerings place.

Highest honors, never failing, Rise eternal round thy throne;

Through earth's most bitter misery

To pass unto thy crown. And girt with griefs and fears

With all the bright ones of the sky

Attendant in thy train. Oh, by thy saving power

O Christ, the Lord of heaven ! to thee, Clothed with all majesty divine,

Eternal power and glory be ! Eternal praise, of right, is thine.

2 Reign, Prince of life ! that once thy brow Didst yield to wear the wounding thorn ;

Reign, throned beside the Father now, Adored the Son of God first-born.

3 From angel hosts that round thee stand, With forms more pure than spotless snow,

From the bright burning seraph band, Let praise in loftiest numbers flow.

4 To thee, the Lamb, our mortal songs, Born of deep fervent love, shall rise;

All honor to thy name belongs,

Our lips would sound it to the skies.

5 "Jesus ! " — all earth shall speak the word ; "Jesus !" — all heaven resound it still;

Immanuel, Saviour, Conqueror, Lord ! Thy praise the universe shall fill.

WtPX Psalm 45. I. watts.

Now be my heart inspired to sing The glories of my Saviour King, — Jesus the Lord ; how heavenly fair His form l how bright his beauties are !

2 O'er all the sons of human race , He shines with a superior grace: Love from his lips divinely flows, And blessings all his state compose.

3 Thy throne, O God, for ever stands; Grace is the sceptre in thy hands; Thy laws and works are just and right; Justice and grace are thy delight.

4 Gocl, thine own God, has richly shed His oil of gladness on thy head;

And with his Sacred Spirit blessed His first-born Son above the rest.

2 In thy dear cross a grace is found, — It flows from every streaming wound, — Whose power our inbred sin controls, Breaks the firm bond, and frees our souls.

3 Thou didst create the stars of night; Yet thou hast vailed in flesh thy fight, Hast deigned a mortal form to wear. A mortal's painful lot to bear.

4 When thou didst hang upon the tree, The quaking earth acknowledged thee; When thou didst there yield up thy breath. The world grew dark as shades of death.

5 Now in the Father's glory high, Great Conqueror ! never more to die, TJs by thy mighty power defend, And reign through ages without end.

He lives ! the great Redeemer lives ! What joy the blest assurance gives ! And now, before his Father, God, Pleads the full merits of his blood.

2 Repeated crimes awake our fears, And justice armed with frowns appears; But in the Saviour's lovely face Sweet mercy smiles, and all is peace.

3 In every dark, distressful hour, When sin and Satan join their power, Let this dear hope repel the dart, That Jesus bears us on his heart.

For Jesus pleads, and must prevail.

tflfi^ " Behold the Way!" j. cennick.

Jesus, my All, to heaven is gone, He whom I fix my hopes upon; His track I see, and I '11 pursue The narrow way till him I view.

2 The way the holy prophets went, The road that leads from banishment, The King's highway of holiness,

I'll go for all his paths are peace.

3 This is the way I long had sought, And mourned because I found it not; My grief, my burden, long had been Because I could not cease from sin.

P

4 The more I strove against its power, I sinned and stumbled but the more; Till late I heard my Saviour say, "Come hither, soul, I am the Way !"

5 Lo ! glad I come ; and thou, dear Lamb, Shalt take me to thee as I am, Nothing but sin I thee can give; Nothing but love shall I receive.

6 Then will I tell, to sinners round, What a dear Saviour I have found; I'll point to thy redeeming blood, And say, "Behold the way to God !"

Now to the power of God supreme

Be everlasting honors given; He saves from hell, — we bless his name, —

He guides our wandering feet to heaven.

2 'Twas his own purpose that began To rescue rebels doomed to die:

He gave us grace in Christ, his Son, Before he spread the starry sky.

3 Jesus, the Lord, appears at last,

And makes his Father's counsels known; Declares the great transactions past, And brings immortal blessings down.

4 He dies; and in that dreadful night Doth all the powers of hell destroy,

Rising, he brings our heaven to light, And takes possession of the joy.

Now to the Lord, who makes us know

The wonders of his dying love, Be humble honors paid below,

And strains of nobler praise above. 'Twas he who cleansed our foulest sins,

And washed us in his precious blood; 'Tis he who makes us priests and kings,

And brings us rebels near to God. 3 To Jesus, our atoning Priest,

To Jesus, our eternal King,

Be everlasting power confessed ! Let every tongue his glory sing.

4 Behold ! on flying clouds he comes, And every eye shall see him move;

Though with our sins we pierced him once, He now displays his pardoning love.

5 The unbelieving world shall wail, While we rejoice to see the day;

Come, Lord ! nor let thy promise fail, Nor let thy chariot long delay.

When all the notes that angels sing, Are far inferior to thy name ?

The Prince of Peace that groaned and died, Worthy to rise, and live, and reign At his almighty Father's side.

3 All riches are his native right, Yet he sustained amazing loss;

To him ascribe eternal might,

Who left his weakness on the cross.

While glory shines around his head, And a bright crown without a thorn.

Let angels sound his sacred name, And every creature say, Amen.

Our Lord is risen from the dead,

Our Jesus is gone up on high; The powers of hell are captive led,

Dragged to the portals of the sky. There his triumphal chariot waits,

And angels chant the solemn lay: "Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates !

Ye everlasting doors ! give way." 2 Loose all your bars of massy light,

And wide unfold the ethereal scene: He claims these mansions as his right;

Receive the King of glory in.

10

Who is this King of glory — who ?

The Lord who all our foes o'ercame ; Who sin, and death, and hell o'erthrew ;

And Jesus is the conqueror's name.

3 Lo ! his triumphal chariot waits,

And angels chant the solemn lay: — "Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates !

Ye everlasting doors ! give way. " Who is this King of glory — who ?

The Lord of boundless power possessed; The King of saints and angels, too,

God over all, for ever blessed.

The Passover of God. From death to life eternal,

From earth unto the sky, Our Christ hath brought us over,

"With hymns of victory.

Of resurrection-light ; And, listening to his accents,

May hear, so calm and plain, His own " All hail ! " and, hearing,

May raise the victor-strain.

3 Gird on thy sword, victorious Prince ! Eide with majestic sway ;

Thy terrors shall strike through thy foes, And make the world obey.

4 Thy throne, 0 God ! for ever stands ; Thy word of grace shall prove

A peaceful sceptre in thy hands, To rule the saints by love.

And God, thy God, thy soul shall fill With most peculiar joys.

Bright King of glory, dreadful God !

Our spirits bow before thy feet : To thee we lift an humble thought,

And worship at thine awful seat.

2 A thousand seraphs strong and bright Stand round the glorious Deity ;

But who, among those sons of light, Pretends comparison with thee ?

3 Yet there is One of human frame, Jesus, arrayed in flesh and blood,

Thinks it no robbery to claim A full equality with God.

4 Then let the name of Christ our King With equal honors be adored ;

His praise let every angel sing,

And all the nations own their Lord.

3 Sinners, see your ransom paid, Peace with God for ever made : With your risen Saviour rise ; Claim with him the purchased skies.

Tell all above, and all below,

The debt of love to him you owe.

2 He left his starry crown, And laid his robes aside,

On wings of love came down,

And wept, and bled, and died ; What he endured, oh, who can tell, To save our souls from death and hell ?

And thence his mighty foes In glorious triumph led ; Up through the sky the Conqueror rode, And reigns on high, the Saviour God.

Why should the children of a King Go mourning all their days ?

Great Comforter, descend, and bring Some tokens of thy grace.

2 Dost thou not dwell in all the saints, And seal the heirs of heaven ?

When wilt thou banish my complaints, And show my sins forgiven ?

3 Assure my conscience of her part In the Redeemer's blood;

And bear thy witness with my heart, That I am born of God.

4 Thou art the earnest of his love, The pledge of joys to come;

And thy soft wings, celestial Dove, Will safe convey me home.

Eternal Spirit, God of truth,

Our contrite hearts inspire; Revive the flame of heavenly love,

And feed the pure desire

2 'T is thine to soothe the sorrowing mind, With guilt and fear oppressed ;

'Tis thine to bid the dying live, And give the weary rest.

3 Subdue the power of every sin, Whate'er that sin may be,

That we, with humble, holy heart, May worship only thee.

4 Then with our spirits witness bear That we are sons of God,

Redeemed from sin, from death and hell, Through Christ's atoning blood.

When God, of old, came down from heaven,

In power and wrath he came ; Before his feet the clouds were riven,

Half darkness and half flame.

2 But when he came the second time, He came in power and love ;

Softer than gales at morning prime, Hovered his holy Dove.

3 The fires that rushed on Sinai down In sudden torrents dread,

Now gently light a glorious crown On every sainted head.

Lord, how secure my conscience was, And felt no inward dread !

And thought my sins were dead.

2 My hopes of heaven were firm and bright ; But since the precept came

With a convincing power and light, I find how vile I am.

3 My guilt appeared but small before, Till terribly I saw

How perfect, holy, just, and pure, Was thine eternal law.

4 Then felt my soul the heavy load; My sins revived again:

I had provoked a dreadful God, And all my hopes were slain.

5 My God, I cry with every breath For some kind power to save,

To break the yoke of sin and death, And thus redeem the slave.

WOW The load of Sin. a. stei

How helpless guilty nature lies,

Unconscious of its load ! The heart, unchanged, can never rise

To happiness and God.

,2 Can aught, beneath a power divine,

The stubborn will subdue ? ?Tis thine, almighty Spirit! thine,

To form the heart anew.

3 'Tis thine, the passions to recall, And upward bid them rise;

To make the scales of error fall From reason's darkened eyes ; —

4 To chase the shades of death away, And bid the sinner live;

A beam of heaven, a vital ray, 'Tis thine alone to give.

5 Oh change these wretched hearts of ours, And give them life divine;

Then shall our passions and our powers, Almighty Lord ! be thine.

WOW No escape. I. watts.

In vain we seek for peace with God

By methods of our own : Nothing, O Saviour ! but thy blood

Can bring us near the throne.

OtJ" The Soul ruined. I. watts.

How sad our state by nature is !

Our sin — how deep it stains ! And Satan holds our captive minds

Fast in his slavish chains.

2 But there 's a voice of sovereign grace, Sounds from the sacred word ;

" Ho ! ye despairing sinners, come, And trust a pardoning Lord."

3 My soul obeys the almighty call, And runs to this relief;

I would believe thy promise, Lord: Oh, help my unbelief !

4 A guilty, weak, and helpless worm, On thy kind arms I fall ;

Be thou my Strength and Righteousness, My Saviour and my All. 11

Q01

tf «/ X Utter helplessness. I. watts.

Not all the outward forms on earth, Nor rites that God has given,

Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth, Can raise a soul to heaven.

2 The sovereign will of God alone Creates us heirs of grace ;

Born in the image of his Son, A new, peculiar race.

3 The Spirit, like some heavenly wind, Breathes on the sons of flesh,

New-models all the carnal mind, And forms the man afresh. #

4 Our quickened souls awake and rise From the long sleep of death ;

On heavenly things we fix our eyes, And praise employs our breath.

Broad is the road that leads to death,

And thousands walk together there; But wisdom shows a narrow path,

With here and there a traveler. 2 "Deny thyself and take thy cross,"—

Is the Redeemer's great command: Nature must count her gold but dross,

If she would gain this heavenly land.

KEPENTANCE. L. M,

3 The fearful soul that tires and faints, And walks the ways of God no more,

Is but esteemed almost a saint,

And makes his own destruction sure.

Which hypocrites could ne'er attain, Which false apostates never knew.

How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believed !

4:1/ d " 7^ saw the lost." e. c. clephane.

There were ninety and nine that safely lay

In the shelter of the fold, But one was out on the hills away,

Far off from the gates of gold — Away on the mountains wild and bare, Away from the tender Shepherd's care.

2 " Lord , thou hast here thy ninety and nine : Are they not enough for thee?"

But the Shepherd made answer: "This of Has wandered away from me: [mine

And although the road be rough and steep

I go to the desert to find my sheep."

3 But none of the ransomed ever knew How deep were the waters crossed;

Nor how dark was the night that the Lord passed through Ere he found his sheep that was lost; Out in the desert he heard its cry — 'Twas helpless and sick, and ready to die.

4 But all through the mountains, thunder- And up from the rocky steep, [riven,

There rose a cry to the gate of heaven, "Rejoice ! I have found my sheep !" And the angels echoed around the throne, "Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own ! "

4U1 l. M. Loving-kindness. s. medl

Awake, my soul, to joyful lays, And sing thy great Redeemer's praise; He justly claims a song from me: His loving-kindness, oh, how free ! 2 He saw me ruined in the fall, Yet loved me, notwithstanding all; He saved me from my lost estate: His loving-kindness, oh, how great !

3 Though numerous hosts of mighty foes, Though earth and hell my way oppose, He safely leads my soul along:

His loving-kindness, oh, how strong !

4 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud, Has gathered thick and thundered loud, He near my soul has always stood: His loving-kindness, oh, how good !

He took the robe the Saviour wrought, And cast it all around.

How far the heavenly robe exceeds

What earthly princes wear ! These ornaments, how bright they shine !

How white the garments are !

And hope and every grace ; But Jesus spent his life to work

The robe of righteousness. Strangely, my soul, art thou arrayed,

Great God, when I approach thy throne,

And all thy glory see; This is my stay, and this alone,

That Jesus died for me.

2 How can a soul condemned to die, Escape the just decree?

Helpless, and full of sin am I, But Jesus died for me.

3 Burdened with sin's oppressive chain, Oh, how can I get free ?

No peace can all my efforts gain, But Jesus died for me.

4 And Lord, when I behold thy face, This must be all my plea;

Save me by thy almighty grace, For Jesus died for me.

Jesus, — and didst thou leave the sky,

To bear our griefs and woes ? And didst thou bleed, and groan and die,

For thy rebellious foes ?

2 Well might the heavens with wonder view A love so strange as thine !

No thought of angels ever knew Compassion so divine !

3 Is there a heart that will not bend To thy divine control?

Descend, 0 sovereign love, descend, And melt that stubborn soul.

4 Oh ! may our willing hearts confess Thy sweet, thy gentle sway;

Glad captives of thy matchless grace, Thy righteous rule obey.

From the cross uplifted high, Where the Saviour deigns to die, What melodious sounds we hear, Bursting on the ravished ear ! — "Love's redeeming work is done — Come and welcome, sinner, come ! 2 " Sprinkled now with blopd the throne- Why beneath thy burdens groan ? Ou my pierced body laid, Justice owns the ransom paid — Bow the knee, and kiss the Sou — Come and welcome, sinner, come !

3 "Spread for thee, the festal board See with richest bounty stored;

To thy Father's bosom pressed, Thou shalt be a child confessed, Never from his house to roam; Come and welcome, sinner, come !

4 " Soon the days of life shall end — Lo, I come — your Saviour, Friend ! Safe your spirit to convey

To the realms of endless day,

Up to my eternal home —

Come and welcome, sinner, come ! "

Tell me the old, old story

Of unseen things above, Of Jesus and his glory,

Of Jesus and his love. Tell me the story simply,

As to a little child, For I am weak and weary,

And helpless and defiled. — Cho. 2 Tell me the story slowly,

That I may take it in — That wonderful Redemption,

God's remedy for sin ! Tell me the story often,

For I forget so soon ! The "early dew" of morning

Has passed away at noon 1 — Cho.

3 Tell me the story softly, With earnest tones and grave;

Remember ! I 'm the sinner

Whom Jesus came to save. Tell me that story always,

If you would really be, In any time of trouble,

A comforter to me. — Cho.

4 Tell me the same old story, When you have cause to fear

That this world's empty glory

Is costing me too dear. Yes, and when that world's glory

Is dawning on my soul, Tell me the old, old story:

"Christ Jesus makes thee whole." — Cho.

I saw the cross of Jesus,

When burdened with my sin;

I sought the cross of Jesus, To give me peace within ;

1 brought my soul to Jesus,

He cleansed it in his blood; And in the cross of Jesus I found my peace with God.

Cho. — No righteousness, no merit, No beauty can I plead; Yet in the cross I glory, My title there I read.

2 Sweet is the cross of Jesus 1 There let my weary heart

Still rest in peace unshaken,

Till with him, ne'er to part ; And then in strains of glory

I'll sing his wondrous power, Where sin can never enter,

And death is known no more. Cho. — I love the cross of Jesus, It tells me what I am; A vile and guilty creature, Saved only through the Lamb.

Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched, Weak and wounded, sick and sore,

Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of pity, love and power.

He is able, He is willing, doubt no more.

2 Ho, ye needy; come, and welcome; God's free bounty glorify !

True belief and true repentance, Every grace that brings us nigh,

Without money, Come to Jesus Christ, and buy. ,

All the fitness he requireth Is to feel your need of him;

This he gives you; 'Tis the Spirit's rising beam.

iWU " Mercy 's Call." j. ALLEN.

Sinners, will you scorn the message, Coming from the courts above ?

Mercy beams in every passage ; Every line is full of love ;

Oh ! believe it, Every line is full of love.

2 Now the heralds of salvation Joyful news from heaven proclaim !

Sinners freed from condemnation, Through the all-atoning Lamb !

Life receiving Through the all-atoning Lamb !

3 O ye angels, hovering round us, Waiting spirits, speed your way;

Haste ye to the court of heaven, Tidings bear without delay:

Rebel sinners Glad the message will obey.

^Oi CM. "Oh, amazing Love ! "

Plunged in a gulf of dark despair,

We wretched sinners lay, Without one cheerful beam of hope,

Or spark of glimmering day.

2 With pitying eyes the Prince of grace Beheld our helpless grief ;

He saw, and — oh, amazing love ! — He ran to our relief.

3 Down from the shining seats above, With joyful haste he fled,

Entered the grave in mortal flesh, And dwelt among the dead.

4 Oh, for this love let rocks and hills Their lasting silence break ;

And all harmonious human tongues The Saviour's praises speak.

5 Angels ! assist our mighty joys ; Strike all your harps of gold ;

But, when you raise your highest notes, His love can ne'er be told;

I. WATTS.

^dt) L. M. Psalm 136.

Give to our God immortal praise ; Mercy and truth are all his ways ; Wonders of grace to God belong ; Repeat his mercies in your son

2 He sent his Son, with power to save From guilt, and darkness, and the grave: Wonders of grace to God belong; — Repeat his mercies in your song.

feet, And leads us to his heavenly seat; His mercies ever shall endure, When this vain world shall be no more.

Come, happy souls, approach your God With new, melodious songs ;

Come, render to almighty grace The tribute of your tongues.

2 So strange, so boundless was the love That pitied dying men,

The Father sent his equal Son To give them life again.

3 Thy hands, dear Jesus, were not

armed With an avenging rod, No hard commission to perform The vengeance of a God.

4 But all was merciful and mild, And wrath forsook the throne,

When Christ on the kind errand came, And brought salvation down.

5 See, dearest Lord, our willing souls Accept thine offered grace ;

We bless the great Redeemer's love, And give the Father praise.

^tfO l. M. "To Save Sinners." 1. watts.

Not to condemn the sons of men, Did Christ, the Son of God, appear ;

No weapons in his hands are seen, No flaming sword nor thunder there.

2 Such was the pity of our God, He loved the race of man so well,

He sent his Son to bear our load

Of sins, and save our souls from hell.

3 Sinners, believe the Saviour's word ; Trust in his mighty name, and live :

A thousand joys his lips afford,

His hands a thousand blessings give.

Drooping souls, no longer mourn,

Jesus still is precious ; If to him you now return,

Heaven will be propitious ; Jesus now is passing by,

Calling wanderers near him ; Drooping souls, you need not die,

Go to him and hear him !

2 He has pardons, full and free, Drooping souls to gladden ;

Still he cries — " Come unto me,

Weary, heavy-laden ! " Though your sins, like mountains high,

Rise, and reach to heaven, Soon as you on him rely,

All shall be forgiven.

A refuge from the wrath to come !

Would you win a soul to God ? Tell him of a Saviour's blood, Once for dying sinners spilt, To atone for all their guilt.

Let thy will in me be done. Long from thee my footsteps straying,

Thorny proved the way I trod; Weary come I now, and praying —

Take me to thy love, my Gfod ! 2 Fruitless years with grief recalling,

Humbly I confess my sin; At thy feet, 0 Father, falling,

To thy household take me in.

A wretched wanderer from my Lord ? Can this dark world of sin and woe One glimpse of happiness afford ?

Here sweeter comforts cheer my heart, Than all the round of nature gives

4 Thy name my inmost powers adore; Thou art my life, my joy, my care;

Still let me live beneath thine eye, For life, eternal life, is thine.

2 Oh, wash my soul from every sin, And make my guilty conscience clean; Here on my heart the burden lies, And past offences pain mine eyes.

3 My lips with shame my sins confess, Against thy law, against thy grace: Lord ! should thy judgments grow severe, I am condemned, but thou art clear.

4 Should sudden vengeance seize my breath, I must pronounce thee just in death ; And, if my soul were sent to hell,

Prostrate, dear Jesus ! at thy feet,

A guilty rebel lies , And upwards, to thy mercy-seat,

Presumes to lift his eyes.

2 Let not thy justice frown me hence ; Oh, stay the vengeful storm ;

Forbid it, that Omnipotence Should crush a feeble worm.

3 If tears of sorrow could suffice To pay the debt I owe,

Tears should, from both my weeping eyes, In ceaseless currents flow.

4 But no such sacrifice I plead

To expiate my guilt ; [shed, —

No tears, but those which thou hast No blood, but thou hast spilt.

5 Think of thy sorrows, dearest Lord ! And all my sins forgive ;

Then justice will approve the word, That bids the sinner live.

* I * l. m. Pardon Implored. t. Hastings.

Forgive us, Lord ! to thee we cry, Forgive us thro' thy matchless grace ;

On thee alone our souls rely,

Be thou our strength and righteousness.

2 Forgive thou us, as we forgive The ills we suffer from our foes ;

Restore us, Lord ! and bid us live ; Oh ! let us in thine arms repose.

3 Forgive us, for our guilt is great ! Our wretched souls no merit claim ;

For sovereign mercy still we wait, And ask but in the Saviour's name.

4 Forgive us, — 0 thou bleeding Lamb ! Thou risen, thou exalted Lord !

Thou great High-Priest, our souls re- deem, And speak the pardon-sealing word.

ilWcn, Psalm 42. H. F. LYTE.

As pants the hart for cooling streams,

When heated in the chase, So longs my soul, 0 God, for thee,

And thy refreshing grace. 2 For thee, my God — the living God,

My thirsty soul doth pine ; Oh, when shall I behold thy face,

Thou Majesty divine !

3 Why restless, why cast down, my soul ? Trust God ; who will employ

His aid for thee, and change these sighs To thankful hymns of joy.

4 I sigh to think of happier days, When thou, 0 Lord ! wast nigh ;

When every heart was tuned to praise, And none more blest than I.

5 Why restless, why cast down, my soul ? Hope still ; and thou shalt sing

The praise of him who is thy God, Thy health's eternal spring.

A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring : The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice.

3 Then will I teach the world thy ways j Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace ; I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood, And they shall praise a pardoning God.

4 Oh, may thy love inspire my tongue ! Salvation shall be all my song ;

And all my powers shall join to bless The Lord, my Strength and Righteous- ness.

Yet do I trust in thee.

And I would seek, where'er I go, To cast on thee my care.

3 Thou knowest, Lord, my flesh how Strong though my spirit be ; [frail,

Oh, then assist, when foes assail, The soul that clings to thee.

All my sufferings to sustain, By thy sorer griefs to cheer me,

By thy more than mortal pain.

2 Call to mind that unknown anguish, In thy days of flesh below ;

When thy troubled soul did languish Under a whole world of woe ;

When thou didst our curse inherit, Groan beneath our guilty load,

Burdened with a wounded spirit, Bruised by the wrath of God.

3 By thy most severe temptation, In that dark, satanic hour ;

By thy last mysterious passion,

Screen me from the adverse power !

By thy fainting in the garden, By thy bloody sweat, I pray,

Write upon my heart the pardon, Take my 6ins and fears away.

His voice proclaims my pardon found — Seraphio transport wings the sound.

3 Earth has a joy unknown in heaven, The new-born peace of sin forgiven !

Tears of such pure and deep delight, Ye angels ! never dimmed your sight.

4 Ye saw of old, on chaos rise

The beauteous pillars of the skies : Ye know where morn exulting springs, And evening folds her drooping wings.

5 Bright heralds of the eternal Will, Abroad his errands ye fulfill ;

Or, throned in floods of beamy day, Symphonious, in his presence play.

Jesus, to thee: Help me the cross to bear, Thy wondrous love declare, Some song to raise, or prayer,

Something for thee. 3 Give me a faithful heart —

Likeness to thee, That each departing day

Henceforth may see Some work of love begun, Some deed of kindness done, Some wanderer sought and won,

Something for thee.

Sweet was the time when first I felt The Saviour's pardoning blood

Applied to cleanse my soul from guilt, And bring me home to God.

2 Soon as the morn the light revealed, His praises tuned my tongue;

And, when the evening shade prevailed, His love was all my song.

3 In prayer, my soul drew near the Lord, And saw his glory shine ;

And when I read his holy word, I called each promise mine.

4 Now, when the evening shade prevails, My soul in darkness mourns;

And when the morn the light reveals, No light to me returns

By the dread mysterious hour Of the insulting tempter's power, — Turn, oh, turn a favoring eye; Hear our solemn Litany !

By the cross, the nail, the thorn, Piercing spear, and torturing scorn; By the gloom that vailed the skies O'er the dreadful sacrifice; — Listen to our humble cry, Hear our solemn Litany !

Oh, this soul, how dark and blind I Oh, this foolish, earthly mind ! Oh, this froward, selfish will, Which refuses to be still ! Oh, these ever-roaming eyes, Upward that refuse to rise ! Oh, these wayward feet of mine, Found in every path but thine !

2 Oh, this stubborn, prayerless knee, Hands so seldom clasped to thee, Longings of the soul, that go

Like the wild wind, to and fro ! To and fro, without an aim, Turning idly whence they came, Bringing in no joy, no bliss, Only adding weariness !

3 Giver of the heavenly peace ! Bid, oh, bid these tumults cease; Minister thy holy balm;

Fill me with thy Spirit's calm: Thou, the Life, the Truth, the Way, Leave me not in sin to stay; Bearer of the sinner's guilt, Lead me, lead me, as thou wilt.

That sinners may approach thy face, And hope and love, as well as fear.

3 As the benighted pilgrims wait, Aud long, and wish for breaking day,

So waits my soul before thy gate : When will my God his face display ?

Let mourning souls address the Lord, And find relief from all their pain.

Kept in peace by Jesus' name, Supported by his smile.

Joyful thus my faith to show, I find his service my reward;

Every work I do below, I do it to the Lord.

In this evil world I dwell, Unhurt, unspotted, I.

Here I find a house of prayer, To which I inwardly retire ;

Jesus, I my cross have taken,

All to leave, and follow thee; Naked, poor, despised, forsaken,

Thou, from hence, my all shalt be ! Perish, every fond ambition,

All I 've sought, or hoped, or known, Yet how rich is my condition,

God and heaven are still my own ! 2 Let the world despise and leave me,

They have left my Saviour, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me —

Thou art not, like them, untrue; Oh, while thou dost smile upon me,

God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends disown me,

Show thy face, and all is bright. ESSEX. 8s, 7s,

rTT-'t i â–  - 1 1 k i ii iJTi

3 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to thy breast;

Life with trials hard may press me;

Heaven will bring me sweeter rest ! Oh, 'tis not in grief to harm me,

While thy love is left to me; Oh, 'twere not in joy to charm me,

Were that joy unmixed with thee.

4 Go then, earthly fame and treasure ! Come disaster, scorn, and pain !

In thy service pain is pleasure,

With thy favor, loss is gain. I have called thee — Abba, Father !

I have stayed my heart on thee ! Storms may howl, and clouds may gather,

All must work for good to me.

Stand up, my soul, shake off thy fears, Aud gird the gospel armor on;

March to the gates of endless joy,

Where Jesus, thy great Captain's gone.

2 Hell and thy sins resist thy course, But hell and sin are vanquished foes;

Thy Saviour nailed them to the cross, And sung the triumph when he rose.

3 Then let my soul march boldly on, — Press forward to the heavenly gate;

There peace and joy eternal reign,

And glittering robes for conquerors wait.

4 There shall I wear a starry crown, And triumph in almighty grace,

While all the armies of the skies Join in my glorious Leader's praise.

Awake, our souls ! away, our fears !

Let every trembling thought be gone ; Awake, and run the heavenly race,

And put a cheerful courage on !

2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road, And mortal spirits tire and faint;

But they forget the mighty God,

Who feeds the strength of every saint —

3 The mighty God, whose matchless power Is ever new and ever young,

And firm endures, while endless years Their everlasting circles run.

4 From thee, the overflowing spring, Our souls shall drink a fresh supply;

While such as trust their native strength Shall melt away, and droop, and die.

5 Swift as an eagle cuts the air, We'll mount aloft to thine abode;

On wings of love our souls shall fly, Nor tire amid the heavenly road !

Fountain of grace, rich, full, and free, What need I, that is not in thee ? Full pardon, strength to meet the day, And peace which none can take away.

2 Doth sickness fill my heart with fear, 'Tis sweet to know that thou art near; Am I with dread of justice tried,

'Tis sweet to know that Christ hath died.

3 In life, thy promises of aid Forbid my heart to be afraid;

In death, peace gently vails the eyes, — Christ rose, and I shall surely rise.

l»»l Jesus is forever mine. A. STEELE.

When sins and fears, prevailing, rise, And fainting hope almost expires,

To thee, 0 Lord, I lift my eyes ; To thee I breathe my soul's desires.

2 Art thou not mine, my living Lord? And can my hope, my comfort die ?

'Tis fixed on thine almighty word — That word which built the earth and sky.

3 If my immortal Saviour lives, Then my immortal life is sure;

His word a firm foundation gives; Here may I build and rest secure.

4 Here, 0 my soul, thy trust repose; If Jesus is for ever mine,

Not death itself — that last of foes — Shall break a union so divine.

"â„¢(J "Complete in Him." g. w. hinsdale.

My soul complete in Jesus stands ! It fears no more the law's demands; The smile of God is sweet within, Where all before was guilt and sin.

2 My soul at rest in Jesus lives ; Accepts the peace his pardon gives; Receives the grace his death secured, And pleads the anguish he endured.

3 My soul its every foe defies, And cries — 'Tis God that justifies ! Who charges God's elect with sin? Shall Christ, who died their peace to win ?

4 A song of praise my soul shall sing, To our eternal, glorious King !

Shall worship humbly at his feet, In whom alone it stands complete.

" *^ 2 Cor. 12: 9. I. WATTS.

Let me but hear my Saviour say, "Strength shall be equal to thy day;" Then I rejoice in deep distress, Leaning on all-sufficient grace.

2 I can do all things — or can bear All suffering, if my Lord be there; Sweet pleasures mingle with the pains, While he my sinking head sustains.

3 I glory in infirmity,

That Christ's own power may rest on me; When I am weak, then am I strong; Grace is my shield, and Christ my song.

In time of fear, when trouble 's near,

I look to thine abode; Though helpers fail, and foes prevail,

I '11 put my trust in God.

2 And what is life, 'mid toil and strife ? What terror has the grave?

Thine arm of power, in peril's hour, The trembling soul will save.

O God of light, and boundless might, My soul on thee is stayed!

""I " I shall be -with Him." r. Baxter.

Lord, it belongs not to my care

Whether I die or live; To love and serve thee is my share,

And this thy grace must give.

2 If life be long, I will be glad That I may long obey;

If short, yet why should I be sad To soar to endless day?

3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms Than he went through before ;

No one into his kingdom comes, But through his opened door.

4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me Thy blessed face to see; [meet,

For if thy work on earth be sweet, What will thy glory be ?

â– v-

5 Then shall I end my sad complaints, And weary, sinful days,

And join with all triumphant saints Who sing Jehovah's praise.

God's glory is a wondrous thing, Most strange in all its ways,

And of all things on earth, least like What men agree to praise.

2 Oh, blest is he to whom is given The instinct that can tell

That God is on the held, when he Is most invisible!

3 And blest is he who can divine Where real right doth he,

And dares to take the side that seems Wrong to man's blindfold eye!

4 Oh, learn to scorn the praise of men ! Oh, learn to lose with God!

For Jesus won the world through shame, And beckons thee his road.

5 And right is right, since God is God; And right the day must win;

To doubt would be disloyalty, To falter would be sin!

Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God ?

4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign ; Increase my courage, Lord !

Supported by thy word.

5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die ;

They view the triumph from afar, And seize it with their eye.

6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thine armies shine

In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be thine.

I'm not ashamed to own my Lord,

Or to defend his cause; Maintain the honor of his word,

The glory of his cross.

2 Jesus, my God ! — I know his name — His name is all my trust ;

Nor will he put my soul to shame, Nor let my hope be lost.

3 Firm as his throne his promise stands, And he can well secure

What I've committed to his hands, Till the decisive hour.

4 Then will he own my worthless name Before his Father's face,

And in the new Jerusalem Appoint my soul a place.

Must Jesus bear the cross alone, And all the world go free ?

No, there's a cross for every one, And there's a cross for me.

2 How happy are the saints above, Who once went sorrowing here !

But now they taste unmingled love, And joy without a tear.

3 The consecrated cross I '11 bear, Till death shall set me free;

And then go home my crown to wear, For there 's a crown for me.

4 Upon the crystal pavement, down At Jesus' pierced feet,

Joyful, I'll cast my golden crown, And his dear name repeat.

5 And palms shall wave, and harps shall ring, Beneath heaven's arches high ;

The Lord that lives, the ransomed sing, That lives no more to die.

We follow thee, through grace supplied From heaven's eternal spring.

3 We soon shall see the day When all our toils shall cease;

When we shall cast our arms away, And dwell in endless peace.

4 This hope supports us here; It makes our burdens light;

'T will serve our drooping hearts to cheer. Till faith shall end in sight.

And ever with our Leader rest, On yonder peaceful shore.

3 Whate'er events betide, Thy will they all perform;

Safe in thy breast my head I hide. Nor fear the coming storm.

It must be good for me, — Secure of having thee in all Of having all in thee.

Wait thou his time ; so shall this night Soon end in joyous day.

OOO Matthew 6 : 25-34.

Sometimes a light surprises

The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord who rises

With healing in his wings: When comforts are declining,

He grants the soul again A season of clear shining,

To cheer it after rain.

2 In holy contemplation,

We sweetly then pursue The theme of God's salvation,

And find it ever new: Set free from present sorrow,

We cheerfully can say, Let the unknown to-morrow

Bring with it what it may.

3 It can bring with it nothing, But he will bring us through;

Who gives the lilies clothing, Will clothe his people too:

Beneath the spreading heavens, No creature but is fed;

And he who feeds the ravens, Will give his children bread.

4 Though vine nor fig-tree neither, Their wonted fruit should bear,

Though all the fields should wither, Nor flocks, nor herds be there;

Yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice,

For while in him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.

556

Perfect peace.

A. E. WARING.

In heavenly love abiding,

No change my heart shall fear, And safe is such confiding,

For nothing changes here: The storm may roar without me,

My heart may low be laid, But God is round about me,

And can I be dismayed?

2 Wherever he may guide me, No want shall turn me back;

My Shepherd is beside me, And nothing can I lack:

His wisdom ever waketh, His sight is never dim:

He knows the way he taketh, And I will walk with him.

3 Green pastures are before me, Which yet I have not seen;

Bright skies will soon be o'er me, Where darkest clouds have been:

My hope I cannot measure; My path to life is free;

My Saviour has my treasure, And he will walk with me.

OOx Psalm 23. J.MONTGOMERY.

The Lord is rny Shepherd, no want shall

I know;

I feed in green pastures, safe-folded I rest ;

He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow,

Restores me when wandering, redeems

when oppressed.

2 Through the valley and shadow of death

though I stray, Since thou art my Guardian, no evil I fear ; Thy rod shall defend me, thy staff be my stay ; Xoharm can befall, with my Comforter near.

3 In the midst of affliction, my table is spread ; With blessings unmeasured my cup run- neth o'er;

With perfume and oil thou anointest my head ; Oh, what shall I ask of thy providence

565

4 Letgoodnessandmercy, my bountiful God !

Still follow my steps till I meet thee above; I seek, by the path which my forefathers trod

Through the land of their sojourn, thy kingdom of love.

" Faint, yet pursuing" j. n. darby.

Though faint, yet pursuing, we go on our way ; The Lord is our Leader, his word is our stay; Tho' suffering, and sorrow, and trial be near, TheLordisour Refuge, and whom can we fear?

2 He raiseth the fallen, he cheereth the faint ; The weak, and oppressed — he will hear

their complaint; The way may be weary, and thorny the road, But how can we falter ? — our help is in God !

3 And to his green pastures our footsteps

he leads; His flock in the desert how kindly he feeds ! The lambs in his bosom he tenderly bears, And brings back the wanderers all safe from

the snares.

4 Though clouds may surround us, our God

is our light; Though storms rage around us, our God is

our might; So, faint yet pursuing, still onward we come ; The Lord is our Leader, and heaven is our

home !

wOv "Allfullness." c. Wesley.

Jesus, thou source of calm repose, All fullness dwells in thee divine;

Our strength to quell the proudest foes; Our light, in deepest gloom to shine;

Thou art our fortress, strength, and tower,

Our trust and portion, evermore.

2 Jesus, our Comforter thou art; Our rest in toil, our ease in pain;

The balm to heal each broken heart,

In storms our peace, in loss our gain; Our joy, beneath the worldling's frown; In shame, our glory and our crown; —

3 In want, our plentiful supply;

In weakness, our almighty power; In bonds, our perfect liberty;

Our refuge in temptation's hour; Our comfort when in grief and thrall ; Our life in death; our all in all.

***J\J "Just Stick as I." J. EDMESTON.

As oft with worn and weary feet, We tread earth's rugged valley o'er,

The thought, how comforting and sweet, Christ trod this very path before !

Our wants and weaknesses he knows,

From life's first dawning till its close.

WILMOT, 8s, 7s.

2 If Satan tempt our hearts to stray, And whisper evil things within,

So did he, in the desert way,

Assail our Lord with thoughts of sin: When worn, and in a feeble hour, The tempter came with all his power.

3 Just such as I, this earth he trod, With every human ill but sin;

And, though indeed the very God,

As I am now, so he has been: My God, my Saviour ! look on me With pity, love, and sympathy.

tfv.X "My Strength, my Tower." j. wesley, tr.

Thee will I love, my Strength, my Tower !

Thee will I love, my Joy, my Crown; Thee will I love, with all my power,

In all thy works, and thee alone: Thee will I love, till the pure fire Fill my whole soul with chaste desire.

2 Thee will I love, my Joy, my Crown !

Thee will I love, my Lord, my God ! Thee will I love, beneath thy frown

Or smile, thy sceptre or thy rod. What though my heart and flesh decay ? Thee shall I love in endless day.

Since Jesus is my friend,

And I to him belong, It matters not what foes intend,

However fierce and strong.

2 He whispers in my breast Sweet words of holy cheer,

How they who seek in God their rest Shall ever find him near; —

3 How God hath built above A city fair and new,

Where eye and heart shall see and prove What faith has counted true.

4 My heart for gladness springs; It cannot more be sad;

For very joy it smiles and sings, — Sees naught but sunshine glad.

What can I want beside?

2 He leads me to the place Where heavenly pasture grows,

Where living waters gently pass, And full salvation flows.

3 If e'er I go astray,

He doth my soul reclaim; And guide me in his own right way, For his most holy name.

4 While he affords his aid, I cannot yield to fear;

Tho' I should walk thro' death's dark shade, My Shepherd's with me there

5 In spite of all my foes, Thou dost my table spread;

My cup with blessings overflows, And joy exalts my head.

Unspeakable, like those above, And heaven begins below.

2 Ashamed of Jesus ! sooner far Let evening blush to own a star; He sheds the beams of light divine O'er this benighted soul of mine.

3 Ashamed of Jesus ! that dear Friend On whom my hopes of heaven depend ! No; when I blush, be this my shame, That I no more revere his name.

4 Ashamed of Jesus ! yes, I may, When I've no guilt to wash away; No tear to wipe, no good to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save.

That Christ is not ashamed of me !

Thou savest those that on thee call; To them that seek thee thou art good,

To them that find thee, All in All.

We drink of thee, the Fountain Head, And thirst our souls from thee to fill 1

The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want:

He makes me down to lie In pastures green; he leadeth me

The quiet waters by.

2 My soul he doth restore again; And me to walk doth make

Within the paths of righteousness, Ev'n for his own name's sake.

3 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale, Yet will I fear no ill;

For thou art with me, and thy rod And staff me comfort still.

4 My table thou hast furnished In presence of my foes ;

My head thou dost with oil anoint, And my cup overflows.

5 Goodness and mercy, all my life, Shall surely follow me;

And in God's house for evermore My dwelling-place shall be.

Behold my heart, and see; And turn the dearest idol out

That dares to rival thee.

Doth not each pulse with pleasure bound, My Saviour's voice to hear ?

3 Hast thou a lamb in all thy flock I would disdain to feed ?

Hast thou a foe, before whose face I fear thy cause to plead?

4 Would not my heart pour forth its blood In honor of thy name ?

And challenge the cold hand of death To damp the immortal flame ?

Far from the sphere of mortal joys, And learn to love thee more.

For ever doth for sinners plead, — For me, ev'n for my soul, was shed.

3 When from the dust of death I rise To claim my mansion in the skies — Ev'n then, this shall be all my plea: Jesus hath lived, hath died for me.

4 This spotless robe the same appears, When ruined nature sinks in years; No age can change its glorious hue, The robe of Christ is ever new.

Oh, sweetly breathe the lyres above, When angels touch the quivering string,

And wake, to chant ImmanuePs love, Such strains as angel-lips can sing !

When pardoned souls their raptures tell, And, grateful, hymn Immanuel's praise.

3 Jesus, thy name our souls adore;

We own the bond that makes us thine; And carnal joys that charmed before, For thy dear sake we now resign.

4 Our hearts, by dying love subdued, Accept thine offered grace to-day;

Beneath the cross, with blood bedewed, We bow, and give ourselves away.

5 In thee we trust, — on thee rely; Though we are feeble, thou art strong ;

Oh, keep us till our spirits fly

To join the bright, immortal throng !

Jesus, who on his glorious throne

Rules heaven, and earth, and sea, Is pleased to claim me for his own

And give himself to me. 2 His person fixes all my love,

His blood removes my fear; And while he pleads for me above,

His arm preserves me here.

3 His word of promise is my food, His Spirit is my guide ;

Thus daily is my strength renewed, And all my wants supplied.

Well may I glory in my cross, While he prepares my crown.

To those who fall, how kind thou art ! How good to those who seek !

4 But what to those who find ? Ah ! this, Nor tongue nor pen can show;

The love of Jesus, what it is, None but his loved ones know.

5 Jesus, our only joy be thou, As thou our prize wilt be;

Jesus, be thou our glory now. And through eternity.

WIO " He is precious." J. newton.

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

In a believer's ear ! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,

And drives away his fear. '

2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, And calms the troubled breast;

'Tis manna to the hungry soul, And to the weary, rest.

3 Jesus ! my Shepherd, Guardian, Friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King;

My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring.

4 Weak is the effort of my heart, And cold my warmest thought;

But when I see thee as thou art, I'll praise thee as I ought.

5 Till then I would thy love proclaim, With every fleeting breath;

And may the music of thy name, Refresh my soul in death.

Oh, tell me, thou life and delight of my soul, Where the flock of thy pasture are feed- ing;

1 seek thy protection, I need thy control,

I would go where my Shepherd is leading.

2 Oh, tell me the place where thy flock are

at rest, Where the noontide will find them re- posing; The tempest now rages, my soul is dis- tressed, And the pathway of peace I am losing.

3 And why should I stray with the flocks

of thy foes, In the desert where now they are rov- ing,

Where hunger and thirst, where affliction and woes, And temptations their ruin are proving ?

4 Ah, when shall my woes and my wander-

ings cease, And the follies that fill me with weeping ? Thou Shepherd of Israel, restore me that

peace, Thou dost give to the flock thou art

keeping.

5 A voice from the Shepherd now bids

me return By the way where the footprints are

lying; No longer to wander, no longer to mourn: And homeward my spirit is flying.

Love and assurance. R. M. MC CHEYNE.

619

I once was a stranger to grace and to God; I knew not my danger, and felt not my load; Though friends spoke in rapture of Christ

on the tree, Jehovah, my Saviour, seemed nothing to me.

2 When free grace awoke me by light from

on high, Then legal fears shook me : I trembled to die : No refuge, no safety, in self could I see : Jehovah, thou only my Saviour must be !

3 My terrors all vanished before his sweet

name; My guilty fears banished, with boldness I

came To drink at the fountain, so copious and free : Jehovah, my Saviour, is all things to me.

4 Jehovah, the Lord, is my treasure and

boast; Jehovah, my Saviour, I ne'er can be lost; In thee I shall conquer, by flood and by

field, Jehovah my anchor, Jehovah my shield!

Oftv "Looking unto Jesus." j. n. darby.

0 eyes that are weary, and hearts that

are sore! Look off unto Jesus, now sorrow no more! The light of his countenance shineth so

bright, That here, as in heaven, there need be no

night.

2 While looking to Jesus, my heart can-

not fear;

1 tremble no more when I see Jesus near; I know that his presence my safeguard

will be, For, "Why are you troubled?" he saith unto me.

3 Still looking to Jesus, oh, may I be found, When Jordan's dark waters encompass me

round: They bear me away in his presence to be : I see him still nearer whom always I see.

4 Then, then shall I know the full beauty

and grace Of Jesus, my Lord, when I stand face to face ; Shall know how his love went before me

each day, And wonder that ever my eyes turned away.

And softer than music his voice; His presence can banish my gloom,

And bid all within me rejoice.

And thou art my light and my song; Say, why do I languish and pine,

And why are my winters so long ? Oh, drive these dark clouds from the sky,

Where winters and storms are no more.

My soul from the confines of hell, To live on the smiles of my God,

And in his sweet presence to dwell: — To shine with the angels in light,

With saints and with seraphs to sing, To view, with eternal delight,

Ye angels ! who stand round the throne,

And view my Immanuel's face, — In rapturous songs make him known,

Oh, tune your soft harps to his praise: He formed you the spirits you are,

So happy, so noble, so good; When others sank down in despair,

Confirmed by his power, ye stood.

2 Ye saints ! who stand nearer than they, And cast your bright crowns at his feet,

His grace and his glory display, And all his rich mercy repeat;

He snatched you from hell and the grave, He ransomed from death and despair:

For you he was mighty to save, Almighty to bring you safe there.

3 Oh, when will the period appear When I shall unite in your song?

I 'm weary of lingering here, And I to your Saviour belong !

I want — oh, I want to be there, To sorrow and sin bid adieu —

Your joy and your friendship to share — To wonder, and worship with you !

"»" " Not seen, ye love." w. cowper.

My Saviour, whom absent I love,

Whom, not having seen, I adore, Whose name is exalted above

All glory, dominion, and power, — Dissolve thou these bands that detain

My soul from her portion in thee; Ah, strike off this adamant chain,

And make me eternally free !

2 When that happy era begins, When arrayed in thy glories I shine,

Nor grieve any more, by my sins, The bosom on which I recline,

Oh, then shall the vail be removed,

And round me thy brightness be poured 1

I shall meet him, whom absent I loved, I shall see, whom unseen I adored.

3 And then, nevermore shall the fears, The trials, temptations, and woes,

Which darken this valley of tears, Intrude on my blissful repose:

To Jesus, the crown of my hope, My soul is in haste to be gone;

Oh, bear me, ye cherubim, up, And waft me away to his throne !

Earth has nothing sweet or fair, Lovely forms or beauties rare, But before my eyes they bring Christ, of beauty Source and Spring.

2 When the morning paints the skies, When the golden sunbeams rise, Then my Saviour's form I find Brightly imaged on my mind.

3 When the star-beams pierce the night, Oft I think on Jesus' light;

Think how bright that light will be, Shining through eternity.

4 Come, Lord Jesus ! and dispel This dark cloud in which I dwell, And to me the power impart

To behold thee as thou art.

"wC? "Itnmanuel." j. newton.

Sweeter sounds than music knows Charm me in Immanuel's name;

All her hopes my spirit owes

To his birth, and cross, and shame.

2 When he came the angels sung, " Glory be to God on high: "

Lord, unloose my stammering tongue; Who should louder sing than I ?

3 Did the Lord a man become, That he might the law fulfill,

Bleed and suffer in my room, —

And canst thou, my tongue, be still ?

4 No; I must my praises bring, Though they worthless are, and weak;

For should I refuse to sing,

Sure the very stones would speak.

5 0 my Saviour ! Shield, and Sun, Shepherd, Brother, Lord, and Friend—

Every precious name in one ! I will love thee without end.

Still in thee let me be found, Still for thee my powers employ.

Till I close my earthly race, Be it " Christ for me to live I"

3 Firmly trusting in thy blood, Nothing shall my heart confound.;

Safely I shall pass the flood,

Safely reach Immanuel's ground.

4 When I touch the blesse'd shore, Back the closing waves shall roll I

Death's dark stream shall nevermore Part from thee my ravished soul.

Having known it "Christ to live," Let me know it "gain to die."

Surpassing all the joys we know, All tbat we can desire, —

4 May every heart confess thy name, And ever thee adore ;

And, seeking thee, itself inflame To seek thee more and more.

5 Thee may our tongues for ever bless Thee may we love alone ;

And ever in our life express The image of thine own.

\Jt»C? c. M. Christ above all. j, nswton.

Let worldly minds the world pursue —

It has no charms for me ; Once I admired its trifles too,

But grace hath set me free.

2 Its joys can now no longer please, Nor ev'n content afford :

Far from my heart be joys like these, For I have seen the Lord.

3 As by the light of opening day The stars are all concealed,

So earthly pleasures fade away When Jesus is revealed.

4 Creatures no more divide my choice — I bid them all depart ;

His name, his love, his gracious voice, Have fixed my roving heart.

5 And may I hope that thou wilt own A worthless worm like me ?

Dear Lord ! I would be thine alone, And wholly live to thee.

""» 7s, 6s, D. " God, our Saviour."

To thee, my God and Saviour !

My heart exulting sings, Kejoicing in thy favor,

Almighty King of kings !

1 '11 celebrate thy glory,

With all thy saints above, And tell the j oy ful story Of thy redeeming love.

2 Soon as the morn with roses Bedecks the dewy east,

And when the sun reposes

Upon the ocean's breast, My voice, in supplication,

Well-pleased the Lord shall hear : Oh, grant me thy salvation,

And to my soul draw near.

3 By thee, through life supported, I'll pass the dangerous road,

With heavenly hosts escorted,

Up to thy bright abode ; Then cast my crown before thee,

And, all my conflicts o'er, Unceasingly adore thee : —

What could an angel more ?

V^EA Charity. c. winkworth, tr.

Though 1 speak with angel tongues Bravest words of strength and fire,

They are but as idle songs, If no love my heart inspire;

All the eloquence shall pass

As the noise of sounding brass.

2 Though I lavish all I have On the poor in charity,

Though I shrink not from the grave,

Or unmoved the stake can see, — Till by love the work be crowned, All shall profitless be found.

3 Come, thou Spirit of pure love, Who didst forth from God proceed,

Never from my heart remove ; Let me all thy impulse heed; Let my heart henceforward be Moved, controlled, inspired by thee.

Upright, simple, free from art, Make me as a weaned child :

From distrust and envy free,

Pleased with all that pleases thee.

What to-morrow may betide,

Calmly to thy wisdom leave: 'Tis enough that thou wilt care; Why should I the burden bear ?

On a care beyond his own, Knows he's neither strong nor wise,

Fears to stir a step alone ; — Let me thus with thee abide, As my Father, Guard, and Guide.

Trust thee all my journey through; Trust thee till my feet shall be Planted on the crystal sea.

I look to thee with prayers and tears, And cry for strength and light.

3 Lord, I believe ; but oft, I know, My faith is cold and weak:

My weakness strengthen, and bestow The confidence I seek.

4 Yes ! I believe ; and only thou Canst give my soul relief:

Lord, to thy truth my spirit bow; "Help thou mine unbelief!"

4 The more I triumph in thy gifts, The more I wait on thee;

3 How can my soul divinely soar, How keep the shining way,

And not more tremblingly adore, And not more humbly pray!

647

Calm me, my God, and keep me calm;

Let thine outstretched wing Be like the shade of Elim's palm,

Beside her desert spring.

2 Yes, keep me calm, though loud and rude The sounds my ear that greet, —

Calm in the closet's solitude, Calm in the bustling street, —

3 Calm in the hour of buoyant health, Calm in my hour of pain,

Calm in my poverty or wealth, Calm in my loss or gain, —

4 Calm in the sufferance of wrong, Like him who bore my shame,

Calm 'mid the threatening, taunting throng, Who hate thy holy name.

5 Calm me, my God, and keep me calm, Soft resting on thy breast;

Soothe me with holy hymn and psalm, And bid my spirit rest.

Who hear and know his guiding voice, When on their hearts it falls?

Shall his own peace our spirits keep, And Christ's dear love be ours.

For God by grace shall dwell in thee, And God himself is light.

That balm the saddest heart can cheer; And make the dying live.

3 Wide it unvails celestial worlds, Where deathless pleasures reign;

And bids me seek my portion there, Nor bids me seek in vain.

4 It shows the precious promise sealed With the Redeemer's blood;

And helps my feeble hope to rest Upon a faithful God.

5 There — there unshaken would I rest, Till this frail body dies;

And then, on faith's triumphant wings, To endless glory rise.

3 The wilderness affords no food, But God for my support prepares,

We can be calm and free from care On any shore, since God is there.

3 While place we seek, or place we shun, The soul finds happiness in none;

But with our God to guide our way, 'Tis equal joy to go or stay.

4 Could we be cast where thou art not, That were indeed a dreadful lot;

But regions none remote we call, Secure of finding God in all.

'Tis by the faith of joys to come,

We walk through deserts dark as night;

Till we arrive at heaven, our home, Faith is our guide, and faith our light.

2 The want of sight she well supplies ; She makes the pearly gates appear;

Far into distant worlds she pries, And brings eternal glories near.

Though lions roar, and tempests blow, And rocks and dangers fill the way.

If on our daily course our mind Be set, to hallow all we find, Xew treasures still, of countless price, God will provide for sacrifice.

2 Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be, As more of heaven in each we see ; Some softening gleam of love and prayer Shall dawn on every cross and care.

3 The trivial round, the common task, Will furnish all we ought to ask ; — Room to deny ourselves, a road

To bring us daily nearer God.

4 Only, O Lord, in thy dear love, Fit us for perfect rest above ; And help us, this and every day, To live more nearly as we pray.

"\IO Love. I. WATTE

Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews, And nobler speech than angels use, If love be absent, I am found Like tinkling brass, an empty sound.

2 Were I inspired to preach and tell All that is done in heaven and hell — Or could my faith the world remove, Still I am nothing without love.

3 Should I distribute all my store To feed the hungry, clothe the poor; Or give my body to the flame,

To gain a martyr's glorious name : —

4 If love to God and love to men Be absent, all my hopes are vain ; Nor tongues, nor gifts, nor fiery zeal. The work of love can e'er fulfill.

"vl^fc Consistency. I. watts.

So let our lips and lives express The holy gospel we profess; So let our works and virtues shine, To prove the doctrine all divine.

2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad The honors of our Saviour God; When his salvation reigns within, And grace subdues the power of sin.

Lokd, how secure and blest are they Who feel the joys of pardoned sin!

Should storms of wrath shake earth and sea, Their minds have heaven and peace within.

2 The day glides sweetly o'er then* heads, Made up of innocence and love;

And soft and silent as the shades, Their nightly minutes gently move

3 Quick as their thoughts their joys come on, But fly not half so swift away:

Their souls are ever bright as noon, And calm as summer evenings be.

4 How oft they look to heavenly hills, Where streams of living pleasures flow ;

And longing hopes and cheerful smiles Sit undisturbed upon their brow !

5 They scorn to seek earth's golden toys, But spend the day, and share the night,

In numbering o'er the richer joys

That heaven prepares for their delight.

Remembrance.

J. BOWRING.

Earth's transitory things decay; Its pomps, its pleasures pass away; But the sweet memory of the good Survives in the vicisitude.

2 As, 'mid the ever-rolling sea, The eternal isles established be, 'Gainst which the surges of the main Fret, dash, and break themselves in vain ;-

3 As in the heavens, the urns divine Of golden light for ever shine ;

Tho' clouds may darken, storms may rage, They still shine on from age to age; —

4 So, through the ocean tide of years, The memory of the just appears;

So , through the tempest and the gloom, The good man's virtues light the tomb.

And their salvation to fulfill,

Behold him rising from the dead!

3 He lives! he lives! and sits above, For ever interceding there:

Who shall divide us from his love, Or what shall tempt us to despair ?

4 Shall persecution or distress, Famine, or sword, or nakedness?

He who hath loved us bears us through, And makes us more than conquerors too,

5 Not all that men on earth can do, Nor powers on high, nor powers below,

Shall cause his mercy to remove,

Or wean our hearts from Christ, our love.

Peace, troubled soul, whose plaintive moan Hath taught each scene the notes of woe

Cease thy complaint, suppress thy groan, And let thy tears forget to flow;

Behold, the precious balm is found,

To lull thy pain, to heal thy wound.

2 Come, freely come, by sin oppressed;

On Jesus, cast thy weighty load; In him thy refuge find, thy rest,

Safe in the mercy of thy God; Thy God's thy Saviour — glorious word ! For ever love and praise the Lord.

t "tf " Eben-ezer." J. NEWTON.

Be still, my heart ! these anxious cares To thee are burdens, thorns, and snares; They cast dishonor on thy Lord, And contradict his gracious word; Brought safely by his hand thus far, Why wilt thou now give place to fear?

2 When first before his mercy-seat Thou didst to him thy all commit,

He gave thee warrant from that hour To trust his wisdom, love, and power: Did ever trouble yet befall And he refuse to hear thy call ?

3 He who has helped thee hitherto, Will help thee all thy journey through; Though rough and thorny be the road, It leads thee home, apace, to God; Then count thy present trials small, For heaven will make amends for all.

• "" " As thy days." L. H. SIGOURNEY.

When adverse winds and waves arise, And in my heart despondence sighs; When life her throng of cares reveals, And weakness o'er my spirit steals, Grateful I hear the kind decree, That "as my day, my strength shall be."

2 One trial more must yet be past, One pang — the keenest and the last; And when, with brow convulsed and pale, My feeble, quivering heart-strings fail, Redeemer ! grant my soul to see That "as my day, my strength shall be."

At evening time let there be light;

Life's little day draws near its close; Around me fall the shades of night,

The night of death, the grave's repose ;

To crown my joys, to end my woes, At evening time let there be light.

2 At evening time let there be light; Stormy and dark hath been my day —

Yet rose the morn divinely bright;

Dews, birds, and blossoms cheered the way;—

Oh, for one sweet, one parting ray! At evening time let there be light.

3 At evening time there shall be light ! For God hath spoken; it must be;

Fear, doubt, and anguish take their flight;

His glory now is risen on me;

Mine eyes shall his salvation see; 'Tis evening time, and there is light!

From heavenly virtue's narrow way,

To fly the good I would pursue,

Or do the sin I would not do,

Still he, who felt temptation's power, Shall guard me in that dangerous hour.

3 When sorrowing o 'er some stone, I bend, Which covers all that was a friend, And from his voice, his hand, his smile, Divides me, for a little while,

My Saviour sees the tears I shed, For Jesus wept o'er Lazarus dead.

4 And, oh, when I have safely passed

Through every conflict, but the last,

Still, still unchanging, watch beside My painful bed, — for thou hast died; Then point to realms of cloudless day, And wipe my latest tear away.

And leave us at thy word.

How soon we found a smiling God, Where deep distress had been !

3 A Father's hand we felt, A Father's heart we knew;

With tears of penitence we knelt, And found his word was true.

4 We told him all our grief, We thought of Jesus' love;

A sense of pardon brought relief, And bade our pains remove.

For ever be his name adored; For there is none beside.

Holy Father, thou hast taught me

I should live to thee alone; Year by year thy hand hath brought me

On through dangers oft unknown. When I wandered, thou hast found me;

When I doubted, sent me light; Still thine arm has been around me,

All my paths were in thy sight. 2 In the world will foes assail me,

Craftier, stronger far than I ; And the strife may never fail me,

Well I know, before I die.

M. NEALE.

Therefore, Lord, I come believing Thou canst give the power I need;

Through the prayer of faith receiving Strength — the Spirit's strength, indeed

3 I would trust in thy protection,

Wholly rest upon thine arm; Follow wholly thy direction,

Thou, mine only guard from harm 1 Keep me from mine own undoing,

Help me turn to thee when tried, Still my footsteps, Father, viewing,

Keep me ever at thy side.

O'er the spoils that death has won, We would at this solemn meeting,

Calmly say, — thy will be done. 2 Though cast down, we're not forsaken;

Though afflicted, not alone; Thou didst give, and thou hast taken;

Blessed Lord, — thy will be done.

Deem not that they are blest alone Whose days a peaceful tenor keep;

The anointed Son of God makes known A blessing for the eyes that weep.

2 The light of smiles shall fill again The lids that overflow with tears;

And weary hours of woe and pain Are promises of happier years.

3 There is a day of sunny rest

For every dark and troubled night;

And grief may bide an evening guest,

But joy shall come with early light.

4 Nor let the good man's trust depart, Though life its common gifts deny,

W00DW0RTH, L. M.

Though with a pierced and broken heart, And spurned of men, he goes to die.

5 For God has marked each sorrowing day, And numbered every secret tear;

And heaven's long age of bliss shall pay For all his children suffer here.

i UU Resignation. j. roscoe.

Thy will be done ! I will not fear The fate provided by thy love;

Though clouds and darkness shroud me here, I know that all is bright above.

2 Father, forgive the heart that clings, Thus trembling, to the things of time:

And bid my soul, on angel wings, Ascend into a purer clime.

3 There shall no doubts disturb its trust, No sorrows dim celestial love;

But these afflictions of the dust, Like shadows of the night, remove.

4 Ev'n now, above, there's radiant day, While clouds and darkness brood below ;

Then, Father, joyful on my way To drink the bitter cup, I go.

Till the morning ; then awake me— Morning of eternal rest !

More like a trustful child. Less, less of self each day,

And more, my God, of thee ; Oh, keep me in the way,

For the Lord, your faith rewarding,

'Tis not a cause of small import

The pastor's care demands, But what might fill an angel's heart,

And filled a Saviour's hands.

2 They watch for souls for whom the Lord Did heavenly bliss forego —

For souls that must for ever live In rapture or in woe.

3 All to the great tribunal haste, The account to render there;

And shouldst thou strictly mark our faults. Lord ! how should we appear ?

4 May they that Jesus whom tney preach Their own Redeemer, see,

And watch thou daily o'er their souls, That they may watch for thee.

• O" For Dedication. w. c. Bryant.

O thou, whose own vast temple stands,

Built over earth and sea, Accept the walls that human hands

Have raised to worship thee.

2 Lord, from thine inmost glory send, Within these courts to bide,

The peace that dwelleth without end, Serenely by thy side !

3 May erring minds that worship here Be taught the better way;

And they who mourn and they who fear, Be strengthened as they pray.

4 May faith grow firm, and love grow warm, And pure devotion rise,

While round these hallowed walls the storm Of earth-born passion dies.

How blest are those, how truly wise, Who learn and keep the sacred road !

How happy they whom heaven employs To turn rebellious hearts to God: —

2 To win them from the fatal way, Where erring folly thoughtless roves,

And that blest righteousness display Which Jesus wrought and Godapproves.

3 The shining firmament shall fade, And sparkling stars resign their light ;

But these shall know nor change nor shade, For ever fair, for ever bright.

• OO retaliation. J. MONTGOMERY.

We bid thee welcome in the name

Of Jesus, our exalted Head; Come as a servant: so he came,

And we receive thee in his stead.

2 Come as a shepherd; guard and keep This fold from hell, and earth, and sin ;

Nourish the lambs, and feed the sheep, The wounded heal, the lost bring in.

3 Come as a teacher, sent from God, Charged his whole counsel to declare;

Lift o'er our ranks the prophet's rod, While we uphold thy hands with prayer.

4 Come as a messenger of peace, Filled with the Spirit, fired with love !

Live to behold our large increase, And die to meet us all above. G

For Dedication.

764

The perfect world, by Adam trod, Was the first temple, — built by God; His fiat laid the corner-stone, And heaved its pillars, one by one.

2 He hung its starry roof on high — The broad, illimitable sky;

He spread its pavement, green and bright, And curtained it with morning light.

3 The mountains in their places stood, The sea — the sky — and "all was good;" And when its first pure praises rang, The "morning stars together sang."

4 Lord, 'tis not ours to make the sea, And earth, and sky, a house for thee; But in thy sight our offering stands — An humbler temple, "made with hands."

â–  Utl The Ministry. B. beddome.

Father of mercies, bow thine ear, Attentive to our earnest prayer; We plead for those who plead for thee; Successful may they ever be.

2 Clothe thou with energy divine

Their words, and let those words be thine; Teach them immortal souls to gain, Nor let them labor, Lord, in vain.

3 Let thronging multitudes around Hear from their lips the joyful sound; And light through distant realms be spread Till Zion rears her drooping head.

Far as thy name is known,

The world declares thy praise ;

Thy saints, O Lord, before thy throne, Their songs of honor raise.

2 With joy thy people stand On Zion's chosen hill,

Proclaim the wonders of thy hand, And counsels of thy will.

3 Let strangers walk around The city where we dwell,

Compass and view thine holy ground, And mark the building well —

4 The order of thy house, The worship of thy court,

The cheerful songs, the solemn vows ; And make a fair report.

5 How decent, and how wise ! How glorious to behold !

Beyond the pomp that charms the eyes, And rites adorned with gold.

The Church's one foundation

Is Jesus Christ her Lord ; She is his new creation

By water and the word : From heaven he came and sought her,

To be his holy bride ; With his own blood he bought her,

And for her life he died.

2 Elect from every nation, Yet one o'er all the earth,

Her charter of salvation

One Lord, one faith, one birth ;

One holy name she blesses, Partakes one holy food,

And to one hope she presses, With every grace endued.

3 Though with a scornful wonder, Men see her sore oppressed.

By schisms rent asunder,

By heresies distressed, Yet saints their watch are keeping,

Their cry goes up, " How long ? " And soon the night of weeping

Shall be the morn of song. G

3 In Zion God is known, A refuge in distress ;

How bright has his salvation shone Through all her palaces !

4 Oft have our fathers told, Our eyes have often seen,

How well our God secures the fold Where his own sheep have been.

We '11 think upon his wondrous grace, And seek deliverance there.

And scattered their legions, was might- ier far ; They fled, like the chaff, from the scourge that pursued them ;

And sow abroad the precious seed Of truth in every place: —

And trees spring up of righteousness, Where'er life's river flows.

Father of mercies ! send thy grace,

All powerful from above, To form in our obedient souls

The image of thy love.

2 Oh, may our sympathizing breasts The generous pleasure know,

Kindly to share in others' joy, And weep for others' woe !

3 When the most helpless sons of grief In low distress are laid,

Soft be our hearts their pains to feel, And swift our hands to aid.

4 So Jesus looked on dying men, When throned above the skies;

And mid the embraces of his God, He felt compassion rise.

5 On wings of love the Saviour flew, To raise us from the ground,

And made the richest of his blood A balm for every wound.

i U\f Minute fidelity. anon.

Scorn not the slightest word or deed,

Nor deem it void of power; There 's fruit in each wind-wafted seed,

That waits its natal hour.

2 A whispered word may touch the heart, And call it back to life;

A look of love bid sin depart, And still unholy strife.

3 No act falls fruitless; none can tell How vast its power may be,

Nor what results infolded dwell Within it silently.

4 Work on, despair not, bring thy mite, Nor care how small it be;

God is with all that serve the right, The holy, true, and free.

Lord, lead the way the Saviour went,

By lane and cell obscure, And let love's treasures still be spent,

Like his, upon the poor.

2 Like him, through scenes of deep distress, Who bore the world's sad weight,

We, in their crowded loneliness, Would seek the desolate.

3 For thou hast placed us side by side In this wide world of ill ;

And that thy followers may be tried, The poor are with us still.

4 Mean are all offerings we can make; Yet thou hast taught us, Lord,

If given for the Saviour's sake, They lose not their reward.

Blest is the man whose softening heart

Feels all another's pain; To whom the supplicating eye

Was never raised in vain: —

2 Whose breast expands with generous A stranger's woes to feel; [warmth

And bleeds in pity o'er the wound He wants the power to heal.

3 He spreads his kind supporting arms To every child of grief;

His secret bounty largely flows, And brings unasked relief.

4 To gentle offices of love His feet are never slow:

He views, through mercy's melting eye, A brother in a foe.

And, when he kneels before the throne, His trembling soul shall live.

Come, happy souls, adore the Lamb, Who loved our race ere time began, Who vailed his Godhead in our clay, And in an humble manger lay.

2 To Jordan's stream the Spirit led,

To mark the path his saints should tread; With joy they trace the sacred way, To see the place where. Jesus lay.

3 Baptized by John in Jordan's wave, The Saviour left his watery grave; Heaven owned the deed, approved the way, And blessed the place where Jesus lay.

4 Come, all who love his precious name, Come, tread his steps, and learn of him; Happy beyond expression they

Who find the place where Jesus lay.

Our Saviour bowed beneath the wave, And meekly sought a watery grave; Come, see the sacred path he trod, A path well pleasing to our God.

2 His voice we hear, his footsteps trace, And hither come to seek his face,

To do his will, to feel his love,

And join our songs with songs above.

We love thy cross, the shame, the pain, 0 Lamb of God, for sinners slain!

2 Water can cleanse the flesh, we own, But Christ well knows, and Christ alone, How dear to him our cleansing stood, Baptized in fire, and bathed in blood.

Of his unspotted righteousness. G

0*w0 " One Family." c. wesley.

Let saints below in concert sing

With those to glory gone; For all the servants of our King

In earth and heaven are one. One family — we dwell in him —

One church above, beneath, Though now divided by the stream,

The narrow stream of death; —

2 One army of the living God, To his command we bow;

Part of the host have crossed the flood,

And part are crossing now. Ev'n now to their eternal home

Some happy spirits fly ; And we are to the margin come,

And soon expect to die.

3 Ev'n now, by faith, we join our hands With those that went before,

And greet the ransomed, blessed bands

Upon the eternal shore. Lord Jesus! be our constant guide:

And, when the word is given, Bid death's cold flood its waves divide,

And land us safe in heaven. G

O"* Hebrews, 12 : 18-24. 'â–  watts.

Not to the terrors of the Lord,

The tempest, fire, and smoke; Not to the thunder of that word

Which God on Sinai spoke; — But we are come to Zion's hill,

The city of our God; Where milder words declare his will,

And speak his love abroad.

2 Behold the innumerable host Of angels clothed in light;

Behold the spirits of the just, Whose faith is turned to sight!

Behold the blest assembly there, Whose names are writ in heaven !

And God, the Judge of all, declare Their vilest sins forgiven.

3 The saints on earth, and all the dead, But one communion make;

All join in Christ, their living Head,

And of his grace partake. In such society as this

My weary soul would rest; The man that dwells where Jesus is,

Must be for ever blest

Oh, still from thy celestial throne, In one another's peace delight,

Let gifts of love descend. And so fulfill his word !

OtffW Christian Obedience. M. s. newcomer.

While darkness reigns o'er Olive's brow,

And sad disciples meet, Christ, the Anointed, deigns to bow,

And wash his people's feet.

2 Rejoicing with God's only Son, We still his words repeat,

Eager to do what he hath done, And wash each other's feet.

3 Xot mine to ask the reason why, If I am Christ's alone;

He speaks, and shall my soul deny His sceptre and his throne ?

4 Wash me, dear Lord, and mine thou art, Wash me with blood again,

And let thy voice, within my heart, Repeat the glad amen!

5 Did Christ abase himself for me, And shall my heart disdain

To bow itself as low as he, The King of endless reign ?

6 0 God! thou Helper, crucify Our selfishness and pride;

And 'neath the glance of Jesus' eye, We'll crown the Prince who died! G

COO Christ our Example, john winebrenner.

The Church of God believes it right To think and do as Jesus bade,

When on that dark and doleful night He gave his law, and plainly said: —

2 Mark the example which I give; Keep it, and show your mutual love:

My precepts do, and you shall live, In bliss below, and heaven above.

3 Then, do we love our brethren now ? And are we bound in union sweet?

If so, like Jesus, let us bow,

And let us wash each other's feet.

4 Let no one be ashamed of this, — Or, Peter-like, turn and say, no;

But as we aim for heavenly bliss, We '11 in our Master's footsteps go.

5 Now, Lord, we '11 wash thy people's feet And here enjoy their fond embrace;

Each with a kiss of friendship greet; And hope in love to see thy face.

6 And then we '11 feast on heavenly love And find our joys to be complete:

Yes, then we '11 sing thy praise above, And bow, with angels, at thy feet.

If I would be a child of God,

With cheerful heart and willing mind, To all his precepts be inclined. Cho. — 0 blessed Redeemer!

Thou who hast died for me; Whatever thy will may be, dear Lord,

I '11 gladly follow thee.

2 The last great Feast-time having come Before our Lord was going home — Adorned in humbleness complete,

He washed his twelve disciples' feet.

3 Then, seated in their midst again, This new example to explain,

He taught them how to understand, And to observe this plain command.

4 "Ye call me Lord and Master, — true, For so I am." Then ought ye too

Be of a meek and lowly mind; In sweet obedience pleasure find.

5 If I, your Lord, have seen it meet, To stoop and wash my brethren's feet; No greater than your Lord are ye; Then in this act do follow me.

6 Dear Lord, we'll gladly follow thee: We come in deep humility;

Oh, bless us now, while here we meet, Thy will to do in washing feet.

Q Q K Feet-washing a Church Ordifiauce. OOO C. M. H. c. s

In Jesus' name once more we meet,

To honor him who said: Ye ought to wash each other's feet

As I the way have led.

2 Shall we forget the sacred rite, Our dying Lord ordained,

Upon that dark and solemn night, When he our woe-cup drained ?

3 With words of love, sublime and sweet, He cheered each fainting heart,

And washed and wiped those loved one's feet, From whom he soon must part.

4 Girded to serve, the Lord of all Thus taught humility;

And still his voice doth on us call, "Fear not, but follow me."

5 "If I, your Lord and Master, thought A servant's office meet,

Be not ashamed, but know ye ought To wash each other's feet."

6 Yea, Lord, we will remember thee, And keep this plain command;

Oh, may our hearts obedient be In one united band.

For ever here my rest shall be,

For me the Saviour died.

2 My dying Saviour, and my God, Fountain for guilt and sin,

Oh, wash me ever with thy blood, And cleanse and keep me clean.

3 Wash me, and make me thus thine own Wash me, and mine thou art;

Wash me, but not my feet alone, — My hands, my head, my heart.

Till hope in full fruition die, And all my soul be love.

Know, my soul! thy full salvation,

Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find in every station,

Something still to do or bear: Think what Spirit dwells within thee;

What a Father's smile is thine; What a Saviour died to win thee!

Child of heaven I should'st thou repine ?

2 Haste thee on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer ; G

Heaven's eternal day 's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there.

Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days,

Hope shall change to glad fruition Faith to sight and prayer to praise.

That tramples down, and casts behind The lures of pleasing ill; —

3 I want a godly fear, A quick-discerning eye,

That looks to thee when sin is near, And sees the tempter fly; —

4 A spirit still prepared,

And armed with jealous care, For ever standing on its guard3 And watching unto prayer.

Prepare us, Lord, to view thy cross, Who all our griefs hast borue ;

To look on thee, whom we have pierced — To look on thee and mourn.

2 While thus we mourn, we would rejoice;

And as thy cross we see, Let each exclaim, in faith and hope,

"The Saviour died for me 1"

Oe>0 Feeding on Christ. J- cennick.

Together with these symbols, Lord,

Thy blessed self impart; And let thy holy flesh and blood

Feed the believing heart.

2 Let us from all our sins be washed In thy atoning blood;

And let thy Spirit be the seal That we are born of God.

3 Come, Holy Ghost, with Jesus' love, Prepare us for this feast;

Oh, let us banquet with our Lord, And lean upon his breast.

oOt/ " Friend of Sinners." R. burnham.

Jesus! thou art the sinner's Friend;

As such I look to thee; Now, in the fullness of thy love,

0 Lord ! remember me.

2 Remember thy pure word of grace, — Remember Calvary;

Remember all thy dying groans, And then remember me.

3 Thou wondrous Advocate with God !

1 yield myself to thee;

While thou art sitting on thy throne, Dear Lord ! remember me.

4 Lord ! I am guilty — I am vile, But thy salvation's free;

Then, in thine all-abounding grace, Dear Lord ! remember me. G

Persistent Love.

861

How sweet and awful is the place, With Christ within the doors,

While everlasting love displays The choicest of her stores.

2 While all our hearts, and all our songs, Join to admire the feast,

Each of us cries with thankful tongue, — "Lord, why was I a guest?"

3 "Why was I made to hear thy voice, And enter while there's room,

When thousands make a wretched choice, And rather starve than come ? "

4 'T was the same love that spread the feast, That sweetly drew us in;

Else we had still refused to taste, And perished in our sin.

5 Pity the nations, 0 our God ! Constrain the earth to come;

Send thy victorious word abroad, And bring the strangers home.

THE LORD'S SUPPER.

OUiW u I will remember thee." j. MONTGOMERY.

According to thy gracious word,

In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord,

I will remember thee.

2 Thy body, broken for my sake, My bread from heaven shall be;

Thy testamental cup I take, And thus remember thee.

3 Gethsemane can I forget? Or there thy conflict see,

Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember thee ?

4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes, And rest on Calvary,

O Lamb of God, my sacrifice ! I must remember thee: —

5 Remember thee, and all thy pains And all thy love to me;

Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains, Will I remember thee.

6 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee,

When thou shalt in thy kingdom come, Then, Lord, remember me !

^"** " The cup of blessing." c. wesley.

Jesus, at whose supreme command,

We now approach to God, Before us in thy vesture stand,

Thy vesture dipped in blood. 22 G

2 Now, Saviour, now thyself reveal, And make thy nature known;

Affix thy blessed Spirit's seal, And stamp us for thine own.

3 Obedient to thy gracious word, We break the hallowed bread,

Commemorate our dying Lord, And trust on thee to feed.

4 The cup of blessing, blessed by thee, Let it thy blood impart;

The broken bread thy body be, To cheer each languid heart.

C"^: "Greater love hath no man." g. t. noel.

If human kindness meets return,

And owns the grateful tie: If tender thoughts within us burn,

To feel a friend is nigh ; —

2 Oh, shall not warmer accents tell The gratitude we owe

To him, who died our fears to quell — ■ Who bore our guilt and woe !

3 While yet in anguish he surveyed Those pangs he would not flee,

What love his latest words displayed, — "Meet and remember me !"

4 Remember thee — thy death, thy shame, Our sinful hearts to share ! —

0 memory ! leave no other name But his recorded there.

Hush, be every murmur dumb; It is only — "Till he come."

Thy hallelujah chorus, —

In glory and renown, And Jesus, Judah's lion,

Shall wear his rightful crown,

Let songs, instead of sadness,

Thy jubilee proclaim; The Lord, in strength victorious,

Upon thy foes hath trod; Behold, 0 earth ! the glorious

Salvation of our God !

Our country's voice is pleading.

Ye men of God, arise ! His providence is leading,

The land before you lies; Day-gleams are o'er it brightening,

And promise clothes the soil ; Wide fields, for harvest whitening,

Invite the reaper's toil.

2 Go, where the waves are breaking On California's shore,

Christ's precious gospel taking, More rich than golden ore;

On Alleghany's mountains, Through all the western vale,

Beside Missouri's fountains, Rehearse the wondrous tale.

3 The love of Christ unfolding, Speed on from east to west,

Till all, his cross beholding,

In him are fully blest. Great Author of salvation,

Haste, haste the glorious day, When we, a ransomed nation,

Thy sceptre shall obey.

CJvtF Christian Union. j, BORTHWICK.

And is the time approaching, By prophets long foretold,

G

When all shall dwell together, One shepherd and one fold?

Shall every idol perish,

To moles and bats be thrown,

And every prayer be offered To God in Christ alone ?

2 Shall Jew and Gentile, meeting From many a distant shore,

Around one altar kneeling, One common Lord adore?

Shall all that now divides us Remove and pass away,

Like shadows of the morning Before the blaZe of day ?

3 Shall all that now unites us More sweet and lasting prove,

A closer bond of union, In a blest land of love ?

Shall war be learned no longer. Shall strife and tumult cease,

All earth his blessed kingdom, The Lord and Prince of Peace?

4 0 long-expected dawning, Come with thy cheering ray !

When shall the morning brighten, The shadows flee away ?

0 sweet anticipation ! It cheers the watchers on,

To pray, and hope, and labor, Till the dark night be gone.

O VT Psalm 72. J. MONTGOMERY.

Hail to the Lord's anointed,

Great David's greater Son ! Hail, in the time appointed,

His reign on earth begun ! He comes to break oppression,

To set the captive free, To take away transgression,

And rule in equity.

2 He comes, with succor speedy, To those who suffer wrong;

To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong;

To give them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to light,

Whose souls, condemned and dying, "Were precious in his sight.

3 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth,

And love, and joy, like flowers, Spring in his path to birth :

Before him, on the mountains, Shall peace the herald go,

And righteousness in fountains From hill to valley flow.

4 Arabia's desert-ranger

To him shall bow the knee; The Ethiopian stranger His glory come to see:

G

With offerings of devotion,

Ships from the isles shall meet,

To pour the wealth of ocean In tribute at his feet.

5 Kings shall fall down before him, And gold and incense bring:

All nations shall adore him;

His praise all people sing; For he shall have dominion

O'er river, sea, and shore, Far as the eagle's pinion

Or dove's light wing can soar.

6 For him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend;

His kingdom still increasing,

A kingdom without end. The heavenly dew shall nourish

A seed in weakness sown, Whose fruit shall spread and flourish,

And shake like Lebanon.

1 O'er every foe victorious,

He on his throne shall rest; From age to age more glorious,

All-blessing and all-blessed. The tide of time shall never

His covenant remove; His name shall stand for ever;

His great, best name of Love!

The morning light is breaking;

The darkness disappears! The sons of earth are waking

To penitential tears; Each breeze that sweeps the ocean

Brings tidings from afar, Of nations in commotion,

Prepared for Zion's war.

2 See heathen nations bending Before the God we love,

And thousand hearts ascending In gratitude above:

While sinners, now confessing,

The gospel call obey, And seek the Saviour's blessing — >

A nation in a day.

Pursue thine onward way; Flow thou to every nation,

Nor in thy richness stay: Stay not till all the lowly

Triumphant reach their home: Stay not till all the holy

Proclaim — "The Lord is come!"

Lest, for want of thine assistance, Every plant should droop and die.

Then thy word our spirits nourished: Happy seasons we have seen.

4 But a drought has since succeeded, And a sad decline we see:

Lord, thy help is greatly needed: Help can only come from thee.

5 Let our mutual love be fervent: Make us prevalent in prayer;

Let each one esteemed thy servant Shun the world's bewitching snare.

And begin from this good hour To revive thy work afresh.

Worn out with these long years of ill, These ages of delay.

4 Come, and make all things new, Build up this ruined earth,

Restore our faded paradise, — Creation's second birth.

5 Come, and begin thy reign Of everlasting peace;

Come, take the kingdom to thyself, Great King of Righteousness !

Oh, for the happy hour

When God will hear our cry,

And send, with a reviving power, His Spirit from on high.

We listen to the word, In vain; — we see no cheering ray,

No cheering voice is heard.

O Lord, thy work revive,

In Zion's gloomy hour, And make her dying graces live

By thy restoring power.

2 Awake thy chosen few To fervent earnest prayer;

Again may they their vows renew, Thy blessdd presence share.

3 Thy Spirit then will speak Through lips of feeble clay,

And hearts of adamant will break, And rebels will obey.

4 Lord, lend thy gracious ear; Oh, listen to our cry;

Oh, come and bring salvation here: Our hopes on thee rely.

6 Zion enjoys her Monarch's love, Secure against a threatening hour;

Nor can her firm foundation move,

Built on his truth, and armed with power.

*fU\J Psalm 72. 1. watts.

Great God ! whose universal sway The known and unknown worlds obey; Now give the kingdom to thy Son; Extend his power, exalt his throne.

2 As rain on meadows newly mown, So shall he send his influence down; His grace, on fainting souls, distills Like heavenly dew on thirsty hills.

3 The heathen lands, that lie beneath The shades of overspreading death, Revive at his first dawning light, And deserts blossom at the sight.

v JL v Psalm 46. 1. watts.

God is the refuge of his saints,

When storms of sharp distress invade ;

Ere we can offer our complaints, Behold him present with his aid.

2 Let mountains from their seats be hurled Down to the deep, and buried there,

Convulsions shake the solid world — Our faith shall never yield to fear.

3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar — In sacred peace our souls abide ;

While every nation, every shore,

Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide.

4 There is a stream, whose gentle flow Supplies the city of our God;

Life, love, and joy, still gliding through, And watering our divine abode.

5 That sacred stream, thy holy word, 4 The saints shall flourish in his days,

Our grief allays, our fear controls; Dressed in the robes of joy and praise;

Sweet peace thy promises afford, Peace, like a river, from his throne,

And give new strength to fainting souls. Shall flow to nations yet unknown.

2 Put all thy beauteous garments on, And let thy various charms be known: The world thy glories shall confess, Decked in the robes of righteousness.

3 No more shall foes unclean invade, And fill thy hallowed walls with dread ; No more shall hell's insulting host Their victory and thy sorrows boast.

4 God, from on high, thy groans will hear; His hand thy ruins shall repair; Nor will thy watchful Monarch cease To guard thee in eternal peace.

VUU Ancient Israel. j. Joyce.

Why on the bending willows hung, Israel ! still sleeps thy tuneful string ?-

Still mute remains thy sullen tongue, And Zion's song denies to sing ?

2 Awake ! thy sweetest raptures raise ; Let harp and voice unite their strains:

Thy promised King his sceptre sways: Jesus, thine own Messiah, reigns !

3 No taunting foes the song require ; No strangers mock thy captive chain ;

But friends provoke the silent lyre, And brethren ask the holy strain.

4 Nor fear thy Salem's hills to wrong, If other lands thy triumphs share:

A heavenly city claims thy song; A brighter Salem rises there.

5 By foreign streams no longer roam ; Nor, weeping, think of Jordan's flood:

In every clime behold a home, In every temple see thy God.

vUtt Home Missions. w. C. bryant

Look from thy sphere of endless day, O God of mercy and of might !

In pity look on those who stray, Benighted in this land of light.

2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen,

In crowded mart, by stream or sea, How many of the sons of men

Hear not the message sent from thee !

3 Send forth thy heralds, Lord, to call The thoughtless young, the hardened old,

A scattered, homeless flock, till all Be gathered to thy peaceful fold.

4 Send them thy mighty word to speak, Till faith shall dawn, and doubt depart,

To awe the bold, to stay the weak, And bind and heal the broken heart.

5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene, That makes us sadden as we gaze,

Shall grow with living waters green, And lift to heaven the voice of praise.

V &*£■ L. M. Psalm 87. I. WATTS.

God, in his earthly temple, lays Foundations for his heavenly praise ; He likes the tents of Jacob well ; But still in Zion loves to dwell.

2 His mercy visits every house

That pay their night and morning vows, But makes a more delightful stay Where churches meet to praise and pray.

3 What glories were described of old ! What wonders are of Zion told ! Thou city of our God below !

Thy fame shall Tyre and Egypt know.

4 Egypt and Tyre, and Greek and Jew, Shall there begin their lives anew ; Angels and men shall join to sing

The hill where living waters spring.

5 When God makes up his last account Of natives in his holy mount,

'T will be an honor to appear,

As one new-born, or nourished there.

vUtf l. M. Psalm 80. I. WATTS.

Great Shepherd of thine Israel ! Who didst between the cherubs dwell, And lead the tribes, thy chosen sheep, Safe through the desert and the deep ; —

2 Thy Church is in the desert now ; Shine from on high and guide us through ; Turn us to thee, thy love restore ;

We shall be saved, and sigh no more.

3 Hast thou not planted, with thy hand, A lovely vine in this our land ?

Did not thy power defend it round, And heavenly clews enrich the ground ?

4 Return, almighty God ! return, Nor let thy bleeding vineyard mourn : Turn us to thee, thy love restore ; We shall be saved, and sigh no more.

UU\) 8s, 7s, 6 1. "Alleluia." anon.

Hallelujah ! song of gladness,

Song of everlasting joy ; Hallelujah ! song the sweetest

That can angel-hosts employ ; Hymning in God's holy presence

Their high praise eternally. 2 Hallelujah ! church victorious,

Thou mayst lift this joyful strain : Hallelujah ! songs of triumph

Well befit the ransomed train : We our song must raise with sadness, While in exile we remain.

3 Hallelujah ! strains of gladness Suit not souls with anguish torn ;

Hallelujah ! notes of sadness Best befit our state forlorn :

For, in this dark world of sorrow, We, with tears, our sin must mourn.

4 But our earnest supplication, Holy God, we raise to thee ;

Bring us to thy blissful presence, Make us all thy joys to see ;

Then we '11 sing our Hallelujah, — Sing to all eternity.

Oh, that the Lord's salvation

Were out of Zion come, To heal his ancient nation,

To lead his outcasts home ! How long the holy city

Shall heathen feet profane ? Return, 0 Lord, in pity,

Rebuild her walls again. 2 Let fall thy rod of terror,

Thy saving grace impart ; Roll back the vail of error,

Release the fettered heart ; Let Israel, home returning,

Their lost Messiah see ; Give oil of joy for mourning,

And bind thy Church to thee.

In every land unfurled ; And be the shout, — " Hosanna ! "

Re-echoed through the world ; Till every isle and nation,

Till every tribe and tongue, Receive the great salvation,

And join the happy throng. 2 Yes, — thou shalt reign for ever,

O Jesus, King of kings ! Thy light, thy love, thy favor,

Each ransomed captive sings : The isles for thee are waiting,

The deserts learn thy praise, The hills and valleys greeting,

The song responsive raise.

See ! how great a flame aspires,

Kindled by a spark of grace ! Jesus' love the nations fires, —

Sets the kingdoms on a blaze ; Fire to bring on earth he came ;

Kindled in some hearts it is ; Oh, that all might catch the flame,

All partake the glorious bliss !

2 When he first the work begun, Small and feeble was his day :

Now the word doth swiftly run ;

Now it wins its widening way : More and more it spreads and grows,

Ever mighty to prevail ; Sin's strongholds it now o'erthrows, —

Shakes the trembling gates of hell.

3 Sons of God ! your Saviour praise ; He the door hath opened wide ;

He hath given the word of grace ;

Jesus' word is glorified ; Jesus, mighty to redeem —

He alone the work hath wrought ; Worthy is the work of him, —

Him who spake a world from naught.

LErZion and her sons rejoice —

Behold the promised hour ! Her God hath heard her mourning voice,

And comes to exalt his power.

2 Her dust and ruins that remain Are precious in our eyes ;

Those ruins shall be built again, And all that dust shall rise.

3 The Lord will raise Jerusalem, And stand in glory there ;

Nations shall bow before his name, And kings attend with fear.

4 He sits a sovereign on his throne, With pity in his eyes ;

He hears the dying prisoners' groan, And sees their sighs arise.

Shall it be said that praying breath Was ever spent in vain.

The day of freedom dawns at length, — The Lord's appointed day.

Say to the south, — " Give up thy charge, And keep not back, 0 north ! "

4 They come ! they come ! thine exiled

937

Behold the western evening light!

It melts in deepening gloom : So calmly Christians sink away,

Descending to the tomb. The winds breathe low, the withering leaf

Scarce whispers from the tree: So gently flows the parting breath,

When good men cease to be.

2 How beautiful on all the hills The crimson light is shed!

'Tis like the peace the Christian gives

To mourners round his bed. How mildly on the wandering cloud

The sunset beam is cast! 'Tis like the memory left behind

When loved ones breathe their last.

3 And now above the dews of night The rising star appears:

So faith springs in the heart of those Whose eyes are bathed in tears.

But soon the morning's happier light Its glory shall restore,

And eyelids that are sealed in death Shall wake to close no more.

QQQ

Otf(J "Number our days." r. heber.

Beneath our feet and o'er our head

Is equal warning given; Beneath us he the countless dead,

Above us is the heaven! Death rides on every passing breeze,

And lurks in every flower; Each season hath its own disease,

Its peril every hour!

2 Our eyes have seen the rosy light Of youth's soft cheek decay;

And fate descend in sudden night

On manhood's middle day. Our eyes have seen the steps of age

Halt feebly to the tomb; And yet shall earth our hearts engage,

And dreams of days to come?

3 Then, mortal, turn! thy danger know; Where'er thy foot can tread,

The earth rings hollow from below, And warns thee of her dead!

Turn, mortal, turn! thy soul apply To truths divinely given:

The dead, who underneath thee lie, Shall live for hell or heaven!

How blest the righteous when he dies, — When sinks a weary soul to rest !

How mildly beam the closing eyes !

How gently heaves the expiring breast !

2 So fades a summer-cloud away;

So sinks the gale when storms are o'er; So gently shuts the eye of day ; So dies a wave along the shore.

3 A holy quiet reigns around, —

A calm which life nor death destroys; And naught disturbs that peace profound, Which his unfettered soul enjoys.

Through every age, eternal God ! Thou art our Rest, our safe Abode; High was thy throne, ere heaven was made. Or earth thy humble footstool laid.

2 Long hadst thou reigned, ere time began. Or dust was fashioned into man;

And long thy kingdom shall endure, When earth and time shall be no more.

3 Death, like an overflowing stream. Sweeps us away; our life's a dream; An empty tale; a morning flower, Cut down, and withered in an hour

4 Teach us, 0 Lord, how frail is man; And kindly lengthen out our span, Till thine own grace, so rich, so free. Fit us to die and dwell with thee.

So fades the lovely, blooming flower,- Frail smiling solace of an hour ! So soon our transient comforts fly, And pleasure only blooms to die. 2 Is there no kind, no lenient art, To heal the anguish of the heart? Spirit of grace ! be ever nigh, Thy comforts are not made to die.

3 Thy powerful aid supports the soul, And nature owns thy kind control; While we peruse the sacred page, Our fiercest griefs resign their rage.

4 Then gentle patience smiles on pain, And dying hope revives again;

Hope wipes the tear from sorrow's eye, And faith points upward to the sky.

"For ever with the Lord !"

So, Jesus 1 let it be ; Life from the dead is in that word;

'Tis immortality.

2 Here, in the body pent, Absent from thee I roam:

Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer home.

3 My Father's house on high, Home of my soul ! how near,

At times, to faith's aspiring eye, Thy golden gates appear !

4 "For ever with the Lord !" Father, if 'tis thy will,

The promise of thy gracious word Ev'n here to me fulfill.

5 So, when my latest breath Shall rend the vail in twain,

By death I shall escape from death, And life eternal gain.

6 Knowing as I am known, How shall I love that word,

And oft repeat before the throne, "For ever with the Lord !"

Resurrection.

947

Oh, for the death of those Who slumber in the Lord !

Oh, be like theirs my last repose, Like theirs my last reward !

S. F. SMITH.

2 Their bodies in the ground, In silent hope may lie,

Till the last trumpet's joyful sound Shall call them to the sky.

3 Their ransomed spirits soar On wings of faith and love,

To meet the Saviour they adore, And reign with him above.

4 With us their names shall live Through long succeeding years,

Embalmed with all our hearts can give, Our praises and our tears.

WIu " I will wait."

A few more years shall roll,

H. BONAR.

A few more seasons come; And we shall be with those that rest. Asleep within the tomb; —

2 A few more storms shall beat ' On this wild rocky shore;

And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more: —

3 A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er,

A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more.

4 Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day;

Oh, wash me in thy precious blood, And take my sins away !

One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er, —

Nearer my home, to-day, am I Than e'er I've been before.

2 Nearer my Father's house, Where many mansions be;

Nearer to-day the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea.

3 Nearer the bound of life, Where burdens are laid down;

Nearer to leave the heavy cross; Nearer to gain the crown.

4 But, lying dark between, Winding down through the night,

There rolls the deep and unknown stream That leads at last to light.

5 Ev'n now, perchance, my feet Are slipping on the brink,

And I, to-day, am nearer home, — Nearer than now I think.

6 Father, perfect my trust ! Strengthen my power of faith !

Nor let me stand, at last, alone Upon the shore of death.

Oh, for an overcoming faith,

To cheer my dying hours ; To triumph o'er approaching death,

And all his frightful powers !

2 Joyful, with all the strength I have, My quivering lip should sing, —

"Where is thy boasted victory, grave; And where, 0 death, thy sting?"

3 Now to the God of victory Immortal thanks be paid; —

Who makes us conquerors, while we die, Through Christ, our living Head !

OttM. "I shall go to him."1 h. k. white.

Through sorrow's night, and danger's path,

Amid the deepening gloom, We, followers of our suffering Lord,

Are marching to the tomb.

2 There, when the turmoil is no more, And all our powers decay,

Our cold remains, in solitude, Shall sleep the years away.

3 Our labors done, securely laid In this our last retreat,

Unheeded o'er our silent dust The storms of earth shall beat.

4 Yet not thus buried or extinct, The vital spark shall lie:

For o'er life's wreck that spark shall rise To seek its kindred sky.

5 These ashes, too, this little dust, Our Father's care shall keep,

Till the last angel rise and break The long and dreary sleep.

6 Then love's soft dew o'er every eye Shall shed its mildest rays,

And the long silent voice awake With shouts of endless praise.

RAY PALMER.

vvU Resurrection sure.

When downward to the darksome tomb

I thoughtful turn my eyes, Frail nature trembles at the gloom,

And anxious fears arise.

2 Why shrinks my soul ? — in death's embrace Once Jesus captive slept:

And angels, hovering o'er the place, His lowly pillow kept.

3 Thus shall they guard my sleeping dust, And, as the Saviour rose,

The grave again shall yield her trust, And end my deep repose.

4 My Lord, before to glory gone, Shall bid me come away;

And calm and bright shall break the dawn Of heaven's eternal day,

5 Then let my faith each fear dispel, And gild with light the grave;

To him my loftiest praises swell, Who died, from death to save.

Why do we mourn departing friends, Or shake at death's alarms?

'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends, To call them to his arms.

2 Are we not tending upward, too, As fast as time can move ?

Nor would we wish the hours more slow, To keep us from our love.

3 Why should we tremble to convey Their bodies to the tomb ?

There the dear flesh of Jesus lay, And scattered all the gloom.

4 The graves of all the saints he blessed, And softened every bed;

Where should the dying members rest, But with the dying Head ?

5 Thence he arose, ascending high, And showed our feet the way;

Up to the Lord we, too, shall fly At the great rising-day.

6 Then let the last loud trumpet sound, And bid our kindred rise ;

Awake! ye nations under ground; Ye saints! ascend the skies.

How vain is all beneath the skies !

How transient every earthly bliss ! How slender all the fondest ties

That bind us to a world like this !

2 The evening-cloud, the morning dew, The withering grass, the fading flower,

Of earthly hopes are emblems true, — The glory of a passing hour.

3 But, though earth's fairest blossoms die, And all beneath the skies is vain,

There is a land whose confines lie Beyond the reach of care and pain.

4 Then let the hope of joys to come Dispel our cares and chase our fears :

If God be ours, we 're traveling home, Though passing through a vale of tears.

Otftf Psalm 17. 1. watts.

What sinners value I resign;

Lord ! 'tis enough that thou art mine;

1 shall behold thy blissful face, And stand complete in righteousness.

2 This life's a dream — an empty show; But the bright world, to which I go, Hath joys substantial and sincere; When shall I wake, and find me there ?

3 Oh, glorious hour ! oh, blest abode ! I shall be near, and like my God; And flesh and sin no more control The sacred pleasures of the soul.

4 My flesh shall slumber in the ground, Till the last trumpet's joyful sound; Then burst the chains, with sweet surprise, And in my Saviour's image rise !

To vast eternity!

2 Our fathers, where are they, With all they called their own?

Their joys and griefs, and hopes and cares, And wealth and honor gone.

3 God of our fathers, hear, Thou everlasting Friend!

While we, as on life's utmost verge, Our souls to thee commend.

May we the footsteps trace, Till with them, in the land of light, We dwell before thy face.

The Church has waited long

Her absent Lord to see; And still in loneliness she waits,

A friendless stranger she.

2 How long, 0 Lord our God, Holy and true and good,

Wilt thou not judge thy suffering Church, Her sighs and tears and blood ?

3 Saint after saint on earth, Has lived and loved and died;

And as they left us, one by one, We laid them side by side.

4 We laid them down to sleep, But not in hope forlorn;

We laid them but to ripen there, Till the last glorious morn.

To share thy crown and glory then, As now we share thy grace. ,

And make this blighted world of ours Thine own fair world again.

Who followed him, obeyed, adored, Our grateful hymu receive.

Who counted Christ their great reward, And yearned for him to die.

3 They all, in life and death, With him, their Lord, in view,

Learned from thy Holy Spirit's breath To suffer and to do.

4 For this thy name we bless, And humbly pray that we

May follow them in holiness, And live and die in thee.

It is not death to die —

To be at home with God.

2 It is not death to close

The eye long dimmed by tears, And wake, in glorious repose To spend eternal years.

3 It is not death to bear

4 It is not death to fling Aside this sinful dust,

And rise, on strong exulting wing, To live among the just.

Servant of God, well done !

Rest from thy loved employ: The battle fought, the victory won,

Enter thy Master's joy !

2 The voice at midnight came;

He started up to hear; A mortal arrow pierced his frame;

He fell, but felt no fear.

3 His spirit with a bound Left its encumbering clay:

His tent, at sunrise, on the ground A darkened ruin lay.

4 The pains of death are past, Labor and sorrow cease,

And, life's long warfare closed at last, His soul is found in peace.

5 Soldier of Christ, well done ! Praise be thy new employ;

And, while eternal ages run, Rest in thy Saviour's joy.

To move in idleness through earth — This, this is not to live.

3 Make haste, 0 man, to do Whatever must be done;

Thou hast no time to lose in sloth, Thy day will soon be gone.

4 Up, then, with speed, and work; Fling ease and self away —

This is no time for thee to sleep — Up, watch, and work, and pray !

VVF A C. M. D. Psalm 90. I. WATTS.

Our God, our help in ages past7

Our hope for years to come ; Our shelter from the stormy blast,

And our eternal home : — Under the shadow of thy throne

Thy saints have dwelt secure ; Sufficient is thine arm alone,

And our defence is sure.

2 Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame,

From everlasting thou art God,

To endless years the same. A thousand ages, in thy sight,

Are like an evening gone ; Short as the watch that ends the night,

Before the rising sun.

3 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away ;

They fly, forgotten, as a dream

Dies at the opening day. Our God, our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come, Be thou our guard while troubles last,

And our eternal home.

*• P. M. Death is Transition. R. P. dunn, tr.

No, no, it is not dying

To go unto our God ; This gloomy earth forsaking, Our journey homeward taking,

Along the starry road.

2 No, no, it is not dying Heaven's citizen to be ;

A crown immortal wearing, And rest unbroken sharing, From care and conflict free.

3 No, no, it is not dying

To wear a heavenly crown ; Among God's people dwelling, The glorious triumph swelling,

Of him whose sway we own.

4 Oh, no ! this is not dying, Thou Saviour of mankind !

Can reach the peaceful sleeper here, "While angels watch the soft repose.

3 So Jesus slept ; God's dying Son Passed thro' the grave and blessed the

bed ! Rest here, blest saint ! till, from his throne, The morning break, and pierce the shade.

4 Break from his throne, illustrious morn ! Attend, 0 earth ! his sovereign word ;

Restore thy trust ; — a glorious form . Shall then arise to meet the Lord.

""' Irr. M. The Soul Departing. a. pope.

Vital spark of heavenly flame ! Quit, oh, quit this mortal frame ; Trembling, hoping, lingering, flying — Oh, the pain ! — the bliss of dying ! Cease, fond nature, cease thy strife, And let me languish into life !

2 Hark ! they whisper ; angels say, " Sister spirit, come away ; " What is this absorbs me quite ? — Steals my senses, shuts my sight, Drowns my spirits, draws my breath ? — Tell me, my soul, can this be death %

3 The world recedes — it disappears ! Heaven opens on my eyes ! — my ears With sounds seraphic ring !

Lend, lend your wings ! I mount ! I fly ! " 0 Grave ! where is thy victory ? 0 Death ! where is thy sting ? "

WUO L. M. John 17: 24. C.ELLIOTT.

Let me be with thee where thou art, My Saviour, my eternal Rest ;

Then only will this longing heart Be fully and for ever blest.

2 Let me be with thee where thou art, Thine unvailed glory to behold ;

Then only will this wandering heart Cease to be false to thee and cold.

3 Let me be with thee where thou art, Where none can die, where none remove j

There neither death nor life will part Me from thy presence and thy love.

How still and peaceful is the grave !

Where, life's vain tumults past, The appointed house, by heaven's decree,

Receives us all at last.

2 The wicked there from troubling cease ; Their passions rage no more ;

And there the weary pilgrim rests From all the toils he bore.

3 There servants, masters, small and Partake the same repose ; [great,

And there, in peace, the ashes mix Of those who once were foes.

Till God in judgment calls them forth To meet their final doom.

When God recalls his own ; And bids them leave a world of woe

For an immortal crown ?

2 Is not ev'n death a gain to those Whose life to God was given 1

Gladly to earth their eyes they close, To open them in heaven.

3 Their toils are past, their work is done, And they are fully blest :

They fought the fight, the victory won, And entered into rest.

And let our hearts in every woe, Still say,—" Thy will be done ! "

2 Behold the bed of death,

The pale and mortal clay ! Heard ye the sob of parting breath ?

Marked ye the eye's last ray ? No ! life so sweetly ceased to be, It lapsed in immortality.

3 Bury the dead, and weep

In stillness o'er the loss ! Bury the dead ! in Christ they sleep

Who bore on earth his cross ; And from the grave their dust shall rise, In his own image to the skies.

O Son of God, in glory crowned,

The Judge ordained of quick and dead!

O Son of man, so pitying found For all the tears thy people shed !

2 Be with us in this darkened place, — This weary, restless, dangerous night;

And teach, oh, teach us by thy grace, To struggle onward into light !

3 And since, in God's recording book, Our sins are written, every one, —

The crime, the wrath, the wandering look, The good we knew, and left undone ; —

4 Lord, ere the last dread trump be

heard, And ere before thy face we stand, Look thou on each accusing word, And blot it with thy bleeding hand.

Day of judgment ! day of wonders !

Hark ! — the trumpet's awful sound, Louder than a thousand thunders,

Shakes the vast creation round: How the summons

Will the sinner's heart confound !

2 See the Judge, . our nature wearing, Clothed in majesty divine I

You, who long for his appearing, Then shall say, "This God is mine!"

Gracious Saviour ! Own me in that day for thine.

3 At his call, the dead awaken, Rise to life from earth and sea;

All the powers of nature, shaken By his looks, prepare to flee:

Careless sinner ! What will then become of thee ?

Great God, what do I see and hear !

The end of things created 1 The Judge of man I see appear,

On clouds of glory seated: The trumpet sounds; the graves restore The dead which they contained before;

Prepare, my soul, to meet him.

z The dead in Christ shall first arise, At the last trumpet's sounding —

Caught up to meet him in the skies, With joy their Lord surrounding;

No gloomy fears their souls dismay,

His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet him.

3 But sinners, filled with guilty tears, Behold his wrath prevailing;

For they shall rise, and find their tears

And sighs are unavailing: The day of grace is past and gone ; Trembling they stand before the throne,

All unprepared to meet him.

4 Great God ! what do I see and hear ! The end of things created !

The Judge of man I see appear,

On clouds of glory seated: Beneath his cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away,

And thus prepare to meet him

v ■ • Into thine hand." E. A. bo wring, tr.

When my last hour is close at hand,

My last sad journey taken, Do thou, Lord Jesus ! by me stand;

Let me not be forsaken: O Lord ! my spirit I resign Into thy loving hands divine ;

'Tis safe within thy keeping.

2 Countless as sands upon the shore, My sins may then appall me;

Yet, though my conscience vex me sore,

Despair shall not enthrall me; For as I draw my latest breath, I'll think, Lord Christ ! upon thy death, And there find consolation.

3 I shall not in the grave remain, Since thou death's bonds hast severed:

By hope with thee to rise again,

From fear of death delivered, I'll come to thee, where'er thou art, — Live with thee, from thee never part;

Therefore I die in rapture.

4 And so to Jesus Christ I '11 go, My longing arms extending;

So fall asleep, in slumber deep,

Slumber that knows no ending; Till Jesus Christ, God's only Son, Opens the gates of bliss, leads on To heaven, to life eternal.

THE GENERAL JUDGMENT.

Earth is past away and gone, All her glories, every one, All her pomp is broken down ; God is reigning, God alone !

2 All her high ones lowly lie, All her mirth hath passed by, All her merry -hearted sigh ; God is reigning, God on high !

3 No more sorrow, no more night ; Perfect joy and purest light ! With his spotless saints and bright, God is reigning in the height !

4 Blessing, praise and glory bring ; Offer every holy thing ; Everlasting praises sing ;

God is reigning, God our King !

H. ALFORD.

B. BEDDOME.

V I v s. M. The Last Day.

Behold, the day is come;

The righteous Judge is near ; And sinners, trembling at their doom,

Shall soon their sentence hear.

2 How awful is the sight ! How loud the thunders roar !

The sun forbears to give his light, And stars are seen no more.

3 The whole creation groans ; But saints arise and sing :

They are the ransomed of the Lord, And he their God and Bang.

vOV s. M. Now is the time. p. doddridge

And will the Judge descend,

And must the dead arise, And not a single soul escape

His all-discerning eyes ?

2 How will my heart endure The terrors of that day,

When earth and heaven before his face Astonished shrink away ?

3 But, ere the trumpet shakes The mansions of the dead,

Hark, from the gospel's cheering sound What joyful tidings spread !

4 Ye sinners ! seek his grace Whose wrath ye cannot bear;

Fly to the shelter of his cross, And find salvation there.

L. M. " The Day of the Lord."

w. SCOTT.

981

The day of wrath ! that dreadful day, When heaven and earth shall pass away ! What power shall be the sinner's stay ? How shall he meet that dreadful day ? —

2 When, shriveling like a parched scroll, The flaming heavens together roll, And louder yet, and yet more dread, Swells the high trump that wakes the

dead!

3 Oh, on that day, that wrathful day, When man to judgment wakes from clay, Be thou, 0 Christ, the sinner's stay, Though heaven and earth shall pass away.

Lo ! the mighty God appearing — From on high Jehovah speaks !

Eastern lands the summons hearing, O'er the west his thunder breaks :

Earth beholds him : Universal nature shakes.

2 Zion, all its light unfolding, God in glory shall display :

Lo ! he comes, — nor silence holding, Fire and clouds prepare his way :

Tempests round him Hasten on the dreadful day.

3 To the heavens his voice ascending, To the earth beneath he cries —

"Souls immortal now descending, Let the sleeping dust arise !

Rise to judgment ; Let my throne adorn the skies.

4 " Gather first my saints around me, Those who to my covenant stood ;

Those who humbly sought and found me, Through the dying Saviour's blood :

Blest Redeemer ! Choicest sacrifice to God!"

5 Now the heavens on high adore him, And his righteousness declare :

Sinners perish from before him, But his saints his mercies share :

Just his judgment ! God, himself the Judge, is there.

The Lord shall come ! the earth shall

2 The Lord shall come ! but not the same As once in lowly form he came, —

A silent Lamb before his foes, A weary man, and full of woes.

3 The Lord shall come ! a dreadful form, With wreath of flame, and robe of storm, On cherub-wings, and wings of wind, Anointed Judge of human kind !

4 While sinners in despair shall call,

" Rocks, hide us ! mountains, on us fall ! " The saints, ascending from the tomb, Shall sing for joy, "The Lord is come !"

And one dread adjudication Sends each soul to either side !

Sweet fields arrayed in living green, And rivers of delight !

3 O'er all those wide extended plains Shines one eternal day;

There God, the Son, for ever reigns, And scatters night away.

4 No chilling winds, or poisonous breath, Can reach that healthful shore;

Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and feared no more.

5 When shall I reach that happy place, And be for ever blest ?

When shall I see my Father's face, And in his bosom rest?

Though Jordan's waves around me roll, Fearless I'd launch away.

With vials full of odors sweet, And harps of sweeter sound.

3 Now to the Lamb that once was slain, Be endless blessings paid!

There is a land of pure delight,

Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night,

And pleasures banish pain. There everlasting spring abides,

And never-withering flowers; Death, like a narrow sea, divides

This heavenly land from ours.

2 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood Stand dressed in living green ;

So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between.

But timorous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea;

And linger, shivering on the brink, And fear to launch away.

3 Oh, could we make our doubts remove, These gloomy doubts that rise,

And see the Canaan that we love

With unbeclouded eyes: — Could we but climb where Moses stood,

And view the landscape o'er, Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood,

Should fright us from the shore.

Oh, for a voice to praise our King. Nor weary day or night !

But there are perfectness and peace,

Beyond our best desire. Oh, by thy love and anguish, Lord,

And by thy life laid down, Grant that we fall not from thy grace,

Who are these in bright array, This innumerable throng

'Round the altar, night and day- Hymning one triumphant song?—

"Worthy is the Lamb, once slain, Blessing, honor, glory, power,

Wisdom, riches, to obtain, New dominion every hour."

2 These through fiery trials trod; These from great afflictions came:

Now, before the throne of God, Sealed with his almighty name,

I 'MA PILGRIM. P.M.

Clad in raiment pure and white, Victor-palms in every hand,

Through their dear Redeemer's might, More than conquerors they stand.

3 Hunger, thirst, disease unknown,

On immortal fruits they feed; Them the Lamb, amid the throne,

Shall to living fountains lead : Joy and gladness banish sighs —

Perfect love dispel all fears — And for ever from their eyes

God shall wipe away the tears.

AW J. "Mighty to save." c. l. Bancroft.

He comes in blood-stained garments;

Upon his brow a crown; The gates of brass fly open,

The iron bands drop down; From off the fettered captive »

The chains of Satan fall, While angels shout triumphant,

That Christ is Lord of all.

2 Oh, Christ, his love is mighty !

Long-suffering is his grace; And glorious is the splendor

That beameth from his face. Our hearts up-leap in gladness

When we behold that love, As we go singing onward

To dwell with him above.

If thou, my God and Teacher, Vouchsafe to be my own,

Though poor, I shall be richer Than monarch on his throne.

3 If, while on earth I wander,

My heart is right and blest, Ah, what shall I be yonder,

In perfect peace and rest ? Oh, blessed thought ! in dying

We go to meet the Lord, Where there shall be no sighing,

A kingdom our reward.

In tbee is life provided For all mankind and me:

Because I live in thee;

Sweet words of soothing power, How God to him that seeketh

Is Jesus Christ alone: To have him always near me

They raise thy holy tower; Thine is the victor's laurel,

And thine the golden dower.

To him alone will turn: What are they but forerunners

To lead you to his sight ? What are they save the effluence

What are they, but his jewels Of right celestial worth ?

What are they but the ladder, Set up to heaven on earth?

Oh, for a faith that will not shrink

Though pressed by every foe, That will not tremble on the brink

Of any earthly woe ! —

2 That will not murmur nor complain Beneath the chastening rod,

But, in the hour of grief or pain, Will lean upon its God; —

3 A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without;

That, when in danger, knows no fear, In darkness, feels no doubt; —

4 Lord, give us such a faith as this, And then, whate'er may come,

We'll taste, ev'n here, the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home.

When shall I come to thee ? When shall my sorrows have an end?

Thy joys when shall I see ?

In thee no sorrow can be found, Nor grief, nor care, nor toil.

3 No dimly cloud o'ershadows thee, Nor gloom, nor darksome night;

But every soul shines as the sun, For God himself gives light.

Thy gates are all of orient pearl — O God ! if I were there !

Every trace of sin's sad story, All the curse, hath passed away.

Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of victory in their hands.

3 They have come from tribulation, And have washed their robes in blood,

Washed them in the blood of Jesus; Tried they were and firm they stood.

4 Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented. Sawn asunder, slain with sword,

They have conquered death and Satan By the might of Christ the Lord.

3 From the throne a river issues, Clear as crystal, passing bright,

And it traverses the City Like a sudden beam of light.

4 There the wind is sweetly fragrant, And is laden with the song

Of the seraphs, and the elders, And the great redeemed throng.

0 dear and future vision That eager hearts expect !

Ev'n now by faith I see thee, Ev'n here thy walls disceru ;

To thee my thoughts are kindled, And strive, and pant, and yearn !

2 The Cross is all thy splendor, The Crucified, thy praise;

His laud and benediction

Thy ransomed people raise; — -'

Jerusalem ! exulting On that securest shore,

1 hope thee, wish thee, sing thee,

And love thee evermore !

3 0 sweet and blessed Country ! Shall I e'er see thy face ?

0 sweet and blessdd Country !

Shall I e'er win thy grace ? Exult, 0 dust and ashes !

The Lord shall be thy part ; His only, his for ever,

Thou shalt be, and thou art !

"Lamps trimmed." J. borthwick, tr.

Rejoice, rejoice, believers ! And let your lights appear !

3SL

The shades of eve are thickening, And darker night is near ;

The Bridegroom is advancing; Each hour he draws more nigh;

Up ! watch and pray, nor slumber; At midnight comes the cry.

2 See that your lamps are burning, Your vessels filled with oil;

Wait calmly your deliverance From earthly pain and toil.

The watchers on the mountains Proclaim the Bridegroom near,

Go, meet him, as he cometh, With hallelujahs clear.

3 The saints, who here in patience Their cross and sufferings bore,

With him shall reign for ever, When sorrow is no more:

Around the throne of glory The Lamb shall they behold,

Adoring cast before him Their diadems of gold.

4 Our hope and expectation, 0 Jesus, now appear !

Arise, thou Sun so looked-for, O'er this benighted sphere !

With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, 0 Lord, to see

The day of our redemption, And ever be with thee.

Jerusalem, the golden,

With milk and honey blest !

Beneath thy contemplation

Sink heart and voice oppressed:

1 know not, oh, I know not,

What social joys are there, What radiancy of glory,

What light beyond compare.

2 They stand, those halls of Zion, All jubilant with song,

And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng;

The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene;

The pastures of the blessed Are decked in glorious sheen.

3 There is the throne of David; And there, from care released,

The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast:

And they who, with their Leader, Have conquered in the fight

For ever and for ever

Are clad in robes of white.

X\JU O "Short toil." j. m. neale, tr.

Brief life is here our portion;

Brief sorrow, short-lived care; The life, that knows no ending,

The tearless life, is there: Oh, happy retribution !

Short toil, eternal rest; For mortals, and for sinners,

A mansion with the blest !

2 And there is David's fountain, And life in fullest glow;

And there the light is golden, And milk and honey flow;

The light, that hath no evening, The health, that hath no sore,

The life, that hath no ending, But lasteth evermore.

3 There Jesus shall embrace us, There Jesus be embraced, —

That spirit's food and sunshine;

Whence earthly love is chased: Yes ! God my King and Portion,

In fullness of his grace, We then shall see for ever,

And worship face to face.

Bride of the Lamb, awake, awake !

Why sleep for sorrow now ? The hope of glory, Christ, is thine,

A child of glory thou. Thy spirit, through the lonely night,

From earthly joy apart, Hath sighed for one that's far away, —

The Bridegroom of thy heart.

2 But see ! the night is waning fast,

The breaking morn is near; And Jesus comes, with voice of love,

Thy drooping heart to cheer. Then weep no more; 'tis all thine own,

His crown, his joy divine; And, sweeter far than all beside,

He, he himself is thine !

As brethren dear they welcome us,

And lead us to the throne, Where angels bow their vailed heads,

Before the Three in One; —

3 Where we, with all the saints of God,

A white-robed multitude, Shall praise the ascended Lord, who deigns

To bear our flesh and blood ! Our lot shall be for aye to share

His reign of peace above: And drink, with unexhausted joy,

The river of. his love.

The Son of God, is here ! Come, let us haste to meet our Lord,

And hail him with delight; Who saved us by his precious blood,

And sorrows infinite !

2 Beside him all the patriarchs old, And holy prophets stand;

The glorious apostolic choir, And noble martyr band.

]S"o loveliness we see; Our eye is on the royal crown, Prepared for us — and thee !

2 But, dearest Lord, however bright,

That crown of joy above, What is it to the brighter hope

Of dwelling in thy love ? What to the joy, the deeper joy,

Unmingled, pure, and free, Of union with our living Head,

Of fellowship with thee ?

A silent sentry stands ; He only can undo it,

And open wide the door; And mortals who pass through it,

Are mortal nevermore.

2 Though dark and drear the passage That leadeth to the gate,

Yet grace attends the message, To souls that watch and wait:

And at the time appointed A messenger comes down,

And guides the Lord's anointed Prom cross to glory's crown.

3 Their sighs are lost in singing, They're blessed in their tears;

Their journey heavenward winging, They leave on earth their fears:

Death like an angel seemeth; "We welcome thee," they cry;

Their face with glory beameth — 'Tis life for them to die !

O paradise eternal !

What bliss to enter thee, And, once within thy portals,

2 There all around shall love us, And we return their love;

One band of happy spirits,

One family above: There God shall be our portion,

And we his jewels be; And gracing his bright mansions,

His smile reflect and see.

3 So songs shall rise for ever, While all creation fair,

Still more and more reveale'd, Shall wake fresh praises there :

O Paradise eternal !

What joys in thee are known !

O God of mercy ! guide us, Till all be felt our own.

So near to heaven's eternal joys ?

And dying is but going home.

Is the young dawn of heaven below.

XVFt»t» "A Rest." RAY PALMER.

Lord, thou wilt bring the joyful day !

Beyond earth's weariness and pains, Thou hast a mansion far away,

Where for thine own a rest remains.

2 No sun there climbs the morning sky, There never falls the shade of night;

God and the Lamb, for ever nigh, O'er all shed everlasting light.

3 The bow of mercy spans the throne, Emblem of love and goodness there ;

While notes to mortals all unknown, Float on the calm celestial air.

4 Around that throne bright legions stand,. Redeemed by blood from sin and hell;

And shining forms, an angel band, The mighty chorus join to swell.

5 0 Jesus, bring us to that rest, Where all the ransomed shall be found,

In thine eternal fullness blest,

While ages roll their cycles round !

"Many mansions."

RAY PALMER.

Thy Father's house ! thine own bright home !

And thou hast there a place for me ! Though yet an exile here I roam,

That distant home by faith I see.

2 I see its domes resplendent glow, Where beams of God's own glory fall;

And trees of life immortal grow,

Whose fruits o'erhang the sapphire wall

3 I know that thou, who on the tree Didst deign our mortal guilt to bear,

Wilt bring thine own to dwell with thee, And waitest to receive me there !

4 Thy love will there array my soul In thine own robe of spotless hue ;

And I shall gaze, while ages roll, On thee, with raptures ever new !

5 Oh, welcome day ! when thou my feet Shalt bring the shining threshold o'er;

A Father's warm embrace to meet, And dwell at home for evermore !

But day-spring is at hand, And glory, glory dwelleth

In Immanuel's land.

2 Oh, Christ, he is the fountain, The deep sweet well of love;

The streams of earth I 've tasted, More deep I '11 drink above.

There to an ocean fullness His mercy doth expand,

And glory, glory dwelleth In Immanuel's land.

3 The bride eyes not her garment,

But her dear bridegroom's face; I will not gaze at glory,

And can no longer rest ; I, too, must sing when all things sing, And from my heart the praises ring

The Highest loveth best.

2 If thou, in thy great love to us, Wilt scatter joy and beauty thus

O'er this poor earth of ours ; What nobler glories shall be given Hereafter in thy shining heaven,

Set round with golden towers !

3 What thrilling joy when on our sight Christ's garden beams in cloudless light

Where all the air is sweet , Still laden with the unwearied hymn From all the thousand seraphim

Who God's high praise repeat !

4 Oh, were I there ! oh, that I now Before thy throne, my God, could bow,

And bear my heavenly palm ! Then, like the angels, would I raise My voice, and sing thine endless praise

In many a sweet-toned psalm.

And, with delightful worship, own His smile their bliss, their heaven, their all.

F. M. KNOLLIS.

LyflM S- M_ D- "No night there."

There is no night in heaven ;

In that blest world above Work never can bring weariness,

For work itself is love. There is no grief in heaven ;

For life is one glad day, And tears are of those former things

Which all have passed away.

2 There is no want in heaven ; The Lamb of God supplies

Life's tree of twelve-fold fruitage still, Life's spring which never dries.

There is no sin in heaven ; Behold that blessed throng !

All holy is their spotless robe, All holy is their song.

3 There is no death in heaven ; For they who gain that shore

Have won their immortality,

And they can die no more. There is no death in heaven ;

But when the Christian dies, The angels wait his parted soul,

And waft it to the skies !

A"^tA cm. The New Song. I. watts.

Earth has engrossed my love too long ;

;T is time I lift mine eyes Upward, dear Father, to thy throne,

And to my native skies.

2 There the blest Man, my Saviour, sits;

The God, how bright he shines ! And scatters infinite delights

On all the happy minds.

3 Immortal glories crown his head,

While tuneful hallelujahs rise, And love and joy, and triumph spread And move, and charm the starry plains

Through all the assemblies of the skies. With an immortal sound.

3 Seraphs with elevated strains Circle the throne around :

4 He smiles, — and seraphs tune their

songs To boundless rapture, while they gaze ; Ten thousand thousand joyful tongues Resound his everlasting praise.

5 There all the followers of the Lamb Shall join at last the heavenly choir :

Oh, may the joy-inspiring theme Awake our faith and warm desire !

4 Jesus, the Lord, their harps employs ; Jesus, my love, they sing ;

Jesus, the life of both our joys, Sounds sweet from every string.

5 Now let me dwell on earth no more, But mount in haste above,

To bless the God that I adore, And sing the Man I love.

There is a holy city,

A happy world above, Beyond the starry regions,

Built by the God of love ; An everlasting temple—

And saints arrayed in white, There serve their great Redeemer,

And dwell with him in light.

2 The meanest child of glory Outshines the radiant sun ;

But who can speak the splendor

Of that eternal throne Where Jesus sits exalted,

In god-like majesty ? . The elders fall before him,

The angels bend the knee.

3 The hosts of saints around him Proclaim his work of grace ;

The patriarchs and prophets,

And all the godly race, Who speak of fiery trials

And tortures on their way — They came from tribulation

To everlasting day.

4 And what shall be my journey, How long my stay below,

Or what shall be my trials, Are not for me to know ;

In every day of trouble,

I '11 raise my thoughts on high ;

I '11 think of the bright temple, And crowns above the sky.

And patient hope is crowned, And everlasting light

Good angels know it well ; Glad songs that never cease

Within its portals swell ; Around its glorious throne

Ten thousand saints adore Christ, with the Father One,

And Spirit, ever more.

3 Look up, ye saints of God,

Nor fear to tread below The path your Saviour trod

Of daily toil and woe ; Wait but a little while

In uncomplaining love, His own most gracious smile

Shall welcome you above.

And, by angel-guards' protected, Dost in bridal-pomp appear.

2 From the heaven of heavens descend- All prepared to meet thy Head, [ing,

In thy robes of light attending, Thou art to his presence led ;

Golden glories, richly blending,

Round thy streets and walls are shed.

Thither come, through grace redeeming, All who wear Christ's lowly chain :

And, his last award esteeming, Gladly share his cup of pain.

Heaven opes its portals fair ! Hark ! the harps of God are ringing, Hark ! the seraph's hymn is flinging

Music on immortal air.

2 There, no more at eve declining, Suns without a cloud are shining

O'er the land of life and love ; There the founts of life are flowing, Flowers unknown to time are blowing,

In that radiant scene above.

3 There no sigh of memory swelleth ; There no tear of misery welleth ;

Hearts will bleed or break no more ; Past is all the cold world's scorning, Gone the night and broke the morning

Over all the golden shore !

3 For the Lord our God shall come, And shall take his harvest home: From his field shall in that day

All offences purge away: Give his angels charge at last In the fire the tares to cast: But the fruitful ears to store In his garner evermore.

Thou who roll'st the year around,

Crowned with mercies large and free, Rich thy gifts to us abound,

Warm our praise shall rise to thee. Kindly to our worship bow,

While our grateful thanks we tell, That, sustained by thee, we now

Bid the parting year — farewell 1

2 All its numbered days are sped, All its busy scenes are o'er,

All its joys for ever fled, All its sorrows felt no more.

Mingled with the eternal past, Its remembrance shall decay;

Yet to be revived at last At the solemn judgment-day.

3 All our follies, Lord, forgive ! Cleanse us from each guilty stain;

Let thy grace within us live, That we spend not years in vain.

Then, when life's last eve shall come, Happy spirits, may we fly

To our everlasting home,

To our Father's house on high 1

While, with ceaseless course, the sun

Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have ruu,

Nevermore to meet us here: Fixed in an eternal state,

They have done with all below; We a little longer wait, —

But how little none can know.

2 As the wingdd arrow flies Speedily the mark to find;

As the lightning from the skies Darts, and leaves no trace behind,

Swiftly thus our fleeting days Bear us down life's rapid stream ;

Upward, Lord, our spirits raise, All below is but a dream.

3 Thanks for mercies past receive; Pardon of our sins renew ;

Teach us henceforth how to live,

With eternity in view: Bless thy word to young and old;

Fill us with a Saviour's love; And, when life's short tale is told,

May we dwell with thee above!

Praise to God, immortal praise, For the love that crowns our days ! Bounteous Source of every joy, Let thy praise our tongues employ. For the blessings of the field, For the stores the gardens yield; For the fruits in full supply, Ripened 'neath the summer sky ; —

2 All that spring with bounteous hand Scatters o'er the smiling land; All that liberal autumn pours From her rich, o'erflowing stores; These to thee, my God, we owe, Source whence all our blessings flow: And for these my soul shall raise Grateful vows and solemn praise.

With prosperous times our cities crown, Our fields with plenteousness.

How are thy servants blest, 0 Lord !

How sure is their defence ! Eternal wisdom is their guide,

Their help, Omnipotence.

2 In foreign realms, and lands remote,

Supported by thy care, Through burning climes they pass unhurt,

And breathe in tainted air.

3 When by the dreadful tempest borne High on the broken wave,

They know thou art not slow to hear, Nor impotent to save.

4 The storm is laid, the winds retire, Obedient to thy will;

The sea, that roars at thy command, At thy command is still.

5 In midst of dangers, fears, and deaths, Thy goodness we '11 adore ;

We'll praise thee for thy mercies past, And humbly hope for more.

6 Our life, while thou preserv'st that life. Thy sacrifice shall be;

And death, when death shall be our lot, Shall join our souls to thee.

Our Father ! through the coming year We know not what shall be;

And all the good we thought to gain Deceive and prove but care.

3 It may be it shall darkly blend Our love with anxious fears,

And snatch away the valued friend, The tried of many years.

4 It may be it shall bring us days And nights of lingering pain ;

And bid us take a farewell gaze Of these loved haunts of men.

5 But calmly, Lord, on thee we rest; No fears our trust shall move;

Thou knowest what for each is best, And thou art Perfect Love.

M-\Jlrt> Close of the Year. i. watts

Thee we adore, eternal Name !

And humbly own to thee How feeble is our mortal frame,

What dying worms are we !

2 The year rolls round, and steals away The breath that first it gave;

Whate'er we do, where'er we be, We're traveling to the grave.

3 Great God ! on what a slender thread Hang everlasting things !

The eternal state of all the dead Upon life's feeble strings !

4 Infinite joy, or endless woe, Attends on every breath;

And yet, how unconcerned we go Upon the brink of death !

5 Waken, O Lord, our drowsy sense To walk this dangerous road !

And if our souls are hurried hence, May they be found with God.

Close of the Year. p. Doddridge.

1056

Awake, ye saints ! and raise your eyes,

And raise your voices high: Awake, and praise the sovereign love,

That shows salvation nigh.

2 Swift on the wings of time it flies, Each moment brings it near:

Then welcome each declining day, Welcome each closing year.

3 Not many years their rounds shall run, Nor many mornings rise,

Ere all its glories stand revealed, To our admiring eyes.

4 Ye wheefs of nature ! speed your course: Ye mortal powers ! decay;

Fast as ye bring the night of death, Ye bring eternal day.

Let freedom ring ! 2 My native country, thee — Land of the noble, free —

Thy name I love; I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills ; My heart with rapture thrills

Sweet freedom's song: Let mortal tongues awake; Let all that breathe partake ; Let rocks their silence break,-

And when they trod the wintry strand, With prayer and psalm they worshiped thee.

prayer — Thy blessing came; aDd still its power Shall onward through all ages bear The memory of that holy hour.

3 What change I through pathless wilds

no more The fierce and naked savage roams: Sweet praise, along the cultured shore, Breaks from ten thousand happy homes.

4 Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God Came with those exiles o'er the waves,

And where their pilgrim feet have trod, The God they trusted guards their graves.

5 And here thy name, 0 God of love, Their children's children shall adore,

Till these eternal hills remove,

And spring adorns the earth no more.

AVUi The New Year. p. doddridge.

Great God ! we sing that mighty hand By which supported still we stand; The opening year thy mercy shows; Let mercy crown it till it close.

2 By day, by night, at home, abroad, Still we are guarded by our God;

By his incessant bounty fed, By his unerring counsel led.

3 With grateful hearts the past we own; The future, all to us unknown,

We to thy guardian care commit, And peaceful leave before thy feet.

4 In scenes exalted or depressed, Be thou our joy, and thou our rest; Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise, Adored through all our changing days.

5 When death shall interrupt our songs, And seal in silence mortal tongues, Our Helper, God, in whom we trust,

In better worlds our souls shall boast.

r. DODDRIDGE.

Our Helper, God ! we bless thy name, Whose love forever is the same ; The tokens of thy gracious care Open, and crown, and close the year.

2 Amid ten thousand snares we stand, Supported by thy guardian hand; And see, when we review our ways, Ten thousand monuments of praise.

3 Thus far thine arm has led us on; Thus far we make thy mercy known; And while we tread this desert land, Xew mercies shall new songs demand.

4 Our grateful souls, on Jordan's shore, Shall raise one sacred pillar more; Then bear in thy bright courts above, Inscriptions of immortal love.

With songs and honors sounding loud Address the Lord on high;

Over the heavens he spread his cloud, And waters vail the sky. 27G

His steady counsels change the face

Of the declining year; He bids the sun cut short his race,

And wintry days appear.

2 He sends his word and melts the snow,

The fields no longer mourn; He calls the warmer gales to blow,

And bids the spring return. The changing wind, the flying cloud,

Obey his mighty word; With songs and honors sounding loud

Praise ye the sovereign Lord.

And chance and change defy.

2 The covenant of the King of kings

Shall stand for ever sure; Beneath the shadow of thy wings

Thy saints repose secure. In earth below, in heaven above,

Who, who is Lord like thee? Oh, spread the gospel of thy love,

Till all thy glories see !

of I our sal- 1 vation. Let us come before his presence | with thanks- 1 giving; || And show ourselves | glad

in I him with | psalms. For the Lord is a | great — | God; |[ And a great | King a- | bove all | gods. In his hands are all the corners | of the | earth ; 1 1 and the strength of the | hills is )

his — ) also. The sea is his | and he | made it; || And his hands pre- | pared | the dry | land. Oh, come, let us worship | and fall [ down; || And kneel be- | fore the | Lord our 1

Maker.

7 For he is the | Lord our | God; || And we are the people of his pasture, and the |

Oh, for the peace which floweth like a river, Making life's desert places bloom and smile ! Oh, for the faith to grasp heaven's bright "forever," Amid the shadows of earth's " little while!"

2 A little while for patient vigil-keeping, To face the storm, to battle with the strong; A little while to sow the seed with weeping, Then bind the sheaves and sing the har- vest song !

3 A little while to keep the oil from failing, A little while faith's flickering lamp to

trim ; And then, the Bridegroom's coming foot- steps hailing, To haste to meet him with the bridal hymn!

4 And he who is himself the gift and

giver, — The future glory and the present smile, — With the bright promise of the glad "for

ever" Will light the shadows of the "little

while!"
