PREFACE TO THE REVISED AND ENLARGED EDITION.
The work of revising and enlarging the Magnificat has resulted in so many and such important corrections in the words, tunes and indexes, and such extensive additions of desirable material, both in hymns and music, as to make the present edition practically a new book, and one which can hardly be used in connection with the former edition without great inconvenience. The plan of retaining as strict a similarity as possible to the old book would have hindered the freedom of selection and addition for the new, and so would have defeated in part the object in view in making the new book ; at the same time the endeavor has been to retain all the essential features of the old book and to arrive at the utmost accuracy possible in giving these their best and most au- thentic literary and musical form. In all only about thirty old hymns have been altogether omitted as hardly used by anyone in the church, and about sixty entirely new hymns have been added. The number of changes, in the bringing together of hymns and tunes originally associated, but in some way separated in the first edition, in the provision of new and better tunes, in the revision of words, harmonies and indexes, have been too numerous to record. Entirely new and valuable features are, the Scripture texts provided for each hymn, the metrical index which it is hoped will make the book's contents more accessible to our church organists, and the topical index, a feature of all modern hymnbooks, which will be of special interest to the ministers and all who have a coherent service at heart.
In the addition of new hymns the Committee have had in mind the wide variety of uses the church's hymnal may subserve, not only in the formal public worship but in the home circle and in the informal and social religious meetings. Some of the most modern and popular of the songs^used in the large "revival " and missionary meetings have been obtained, at considerable copyright expense, with a view to two results ; — ( i ) the extension of the church's influence through its service of song as widely as possible, and ( 2 ) the prevention of the introduction into our church circles of hymnals contain- ing undesirable words and music for the sake of these really valuable selections otherwise unobtainable. Another and a substantial reason for embodying these popular religious songs is that they seem to be the utterance of a new affection in the religious world directed to the Lord Jesus in Person, in recognition of his Divinity, of his redeeming love, and of his constant presence as Saviour and Comforter.
It has been the careful endeavor of the committee to eliminate from these and from all the hymns introduced every expression of false doctrine or unwor- thy sentiment. Expressions in the language of the holy letter of the Word even when imperfectly understood heretofore, have been retained when, in the church's truer understanding, they acquire new beauty and force ; and in making changes in old and well-known hymns the effort has been wherever possible to return to the author's original version, subject always to the re- quirements of strict doctrinal purity of expression. In revising the indexes resort has been had by thorough research to the highest and most critical hymnological sources both in England and in this country.
While the work doubtless contains many imperfections the committee nev- ertheless hope that the church may find in the new Magnificat a hymnal that in both literary and musical scholarship will bear comparison with any that are in use.
The Committee desire to acknowledge with gratitude the free use of copy- rights accorded by the Rev. Louis F. Benson of the Presbyterian Board of Pub- lication of Philadelphia ; Mr. George Schirmer of New York ; Mr. Philip Goepp and Dr. Gilchrist of Philadelphia ; the valuable assistance rendered by Messrs W. T. Brooks and Charles Higham of London ; and especially the continuous, exacting work of Miss Maud G. Sewall in tracing hymns to their original sources and other textual, musical and indexical revision and correction.

THE MAGNIFICAT
Magnificat anima mea Dominum.
S. Luke i : 46.
PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION
This volume of sacred song takes its title "Magnificat" from the opening words of the Song of Mary :— " My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour."
These words declare the distinctive doctrine of the New Church, that Jesus Christ in His Divine Humanity is the one Lord, God, and Saviour of mankind ; and this volume is designed for the use of those who in this faith desire to magnify and rejoice in Him.
The collection has been made by a Committee of the General Convention whose names appear below. Their object has been to obtain a very liberal supply, both of words and of music, to meet a wide range of wants and tastes, not only in public worship, but in smaller religious gatherings, in homes, and in the social circle. In making the collection, entire unanimity in taste and judgment has not been insisted upon.
While a large proportion of the material here offered is that which has happily passed into general use by Christians of all denominations, and consti- tutes in so far a common confession of faith and worship, there are neverthe- less a considerable number of original contributions which may, in turn, it is hoped, prove to be not unworthy additions to the common treasury of Christian song.
To the collection of Hymns and Tunes in the present New-Church " Book of Worship " and those of the " Christian Hymnal " and a large number of the "Hymns of the English Conference Collection," the Committee have added se- lections from the best of the hymnals recently published both in this country and in England ; and the many kind favors which the Committee have received both from publishers and from authors and composers are hereby gratefully acknowledged. Especially do the Committee desire to express their indebted- ness to the Rev. Charles L. Hutchins, Mr. George C. Stebbins, the Century Company, the Chautauqua Circle, Messrs. Roberts Brothers, Mr. 0. B. Brown, and Mr. Wm. W. Gilchrist, for the free use of valuable hymns and tunes ; and to Messrs. Oliver Ditson & Company and the Biglow & Main Company for the use of tunes of which they own the copyrights ; all of which will be found in- dicated in the indexes.
Part X, including music for the Responses, Sanctus, Doxologies and Can- ticles, has been added in response to a strongly-felt need of a larger musical provision for these parts of our stated liturgical service.

I myself will awake early. Ps. cviii : 2.
i Awake, my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run ; Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise To pay thy morning sacrifice.
2 Let all thy converse be sincere,
Thy conscience as the noon-day clear ; Think how the all-seeing God, thy ways And all thy secret thoughts surveys.
3 Glory to Thee, who safe hast kept, And hast refresh' d me while I slept ; Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake, I may of endless light partake.
4 Lord, I my vows to Thee renew ; Scatter my sins as morning dew ;
Guard my first spring of thought and will, And with Thyself my spirit fill.
5 Direct, control, suggest this day All I design, or do, or say ;
That all my pow'rs, with all their might, In Thy sole glory may unite. Dox. x.

As thy days, so shall thy strength be. Deut. xxxm : 25.
1 New every morning is the love Our wakening and uprising prove ; Through sleep and darkness safely brought, Restored to life, and power, and thought.
2 New mercies, each returning day, Hover around us while we pray ; New perils past, new sins forgiven,
New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.
3 If on our daily course our mind Be set to hallow all we find,
New treasures still, of countless price God will provide for sacrifice.
4 The trivial round, the common task, Will furnish all we need to ask, Room to deny ourselves, a road
To bring us daily nearer God.
5 Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be, As more of heav'n in each we see ; Some soft'ning gleam of love and prayer, Shall dawn on every cross and care.
6 Only, 0 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. Do*. X.

Our grateful songs of praise we sing ; Thy mercy and Thy loving care Are over every living thing.
2 Throughout the night in safety kept
Oh, through the day we pray Thee, guide Our footsteps in the heavenly way ; May we not wander from Thy side.

Our prayers and songs to Thee we'll raise, Each gift received, each victory won,
To Thee alone belongs the praise. Dox. t.

Lift up the light of thy countenance upon us. Ps. iv : 6.
i 0 God, before Thy sun's bright beams All night's dark shadows fly; So on the soul Thy mercy gleams ; And doubts and terrors die.
2 So freshly falls Thy heaven-sent grace
As morning's gladdening breath; Gives light to all to seek Thy face And guides in life and death.
3 0 holy light ! 0 light of God !
0 light unseen below, Which fills the courts of Thine abode, Which there the blest shall know !
4 Swift comes the hour when none can toil,
Short is the rugged way : Teach us our lamps to fill with oil, Whilst it is called to-day.
5 Then we shall see that glorious light
Which to the saints is given, So sweet, so fair, so passing bright, The eternal morn of heaven. Dox.'l,

K?ep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
i Now that the daylight fills the sky, We lift <ur hearts to God on high : That He, in all we do or say Would keep us free from harm to-day.
2 Would guard our hearts and tongues
from strife, From anger's din would hide our life : From all ill sights would turn our
eyes : Would close our ears from vanities.
3 Would keep our inmost conscience
pure, Our souls from folly would secure ; Would bid us check the pride of sense With due and holy abstinence.
4 So we, when this new day is gone, And night, in turn, is drawing on, With conscience by the world un-
stain'd, Shall praise His Name for vict'ry gain'd. Dox. x.

The Lord's mercies are new every morning. Lam. iii : 23.
i Every morning mercies new Fall as fresh as early dew ; Every morning let us pay Tribute with the early day ; For Thy mercies, Lord, are sure : Thy compassion doth endure.
2 Still the greatness of Thy love Daily would our sins remove ; Daily, far as east to west, Lift the burden from the breast ; Give unbought to those who pray Strength to stand in evil day.
3 Let our prayers each morn prevail, That these gifts may never fail ; And, as we confess the sin
And the tempter's power within, Feed us with the Bread of Life ; Fit us for our daily strife.
4 As the morning light returns, As the sun with splendor burns, May we lift our hearts to Thee, Sun of heaven's radiancy! That beneath Thy blessed light We may live to serve Thee right.

God is in His temple,
Let us fall before Him, And with reverence adore Him.

Hushed all earthly feeling, Every heart to Him be kneeling.
To His own He is known:
Gaze with eye adoring, Self to God restoring.
Lo ! our God is present, To Whom, morn and even,
Sing the cherubim in heaven. Holy, holy, holy 1 Angel-choirs are singing,
Where the censers bright are swing- ing. Lord, give ear : deign to hear Humbler voices praising,
Songs on earth upraising.
Spirit ever present,
In whom all are living, To all things their substance giving!
Sea unfathomed, boundless,
Mystery amazing !
Lo 1 I fall, in wonder gazing, I in Thee, Thou in me : Let me thus but find Thee,
Leaving earth behind me.
Make me simple-hearted, Patient, and enduring,
Safe at rest 'mid earth's al- luring. Lord, renew my spirit, That in truth' s uprightness
I may see Thy glory's bright- ness. So let me, up to Thee As the eagle soaring,
Live but in adoring.
Lord, come, rest within me,

Pure, unbounded love Thou art ; Visit us with Thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart.

Finish then Thy new creation,
Pure and spotless let us be : Let us see our whole salvation,
Perfectly secured in Thee : Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place : Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

My trust is in His name; And they whose hope on Him relies Shall never suffer shame.

For Thy salvation, Lord, I wait,
And ask Thy heavenly aid.

Our Father, we adore Thee, We humbly bow before Thee,
Thou glorious Lord of all; In mercy now draw near us, In Thy compassion hear us,
As on Thy name we call.
We feel our imperfection, And ask Thy kind protection,
From error, sin and harm ; Of all good gifts the Giver, Thou canst our souls deliver,
By Thine Almighty arm.
Thy sun doth shine above us, We know that Thou dost love us,
Thou Light of life Divine ; May Thy good Spirit cheer us, Thy angels e'er be near us,
May we be wholly Thine.
In all our tribulation, In trial and temptation,
Our hope is but in Thee ; We do confess in meekness, Our strength is only weakness,
Thy truth can make us free.

Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines, and the fields shall yield no meat, yet I will rejoice in the Lord. Habak. iii: 17, 18.
Sometimes a light surprises
The Christian while he sings : It is the Lord, Who rises
With healing on His wings. When comforts are declining,
He grants the soul again A season of clear shining,
To cheer it after rain.
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, "E'en let the unknown morrow
Bring with it what it may I
"It can bring with it nothing
But He will bear 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."
Though vine nor fig-tree neither,
Their wonted fruit shall bear, Though all the field 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. Dox. xiii,

Pray to thy Father which is in secret. Matt, vi : 6.
Go when the morning shineth,
Go when the noon is bright, Go when the eve declineth,
Go in the hush of night ; Go with pure mind and feeling,
Fling earthly thought away, And, in thy closet kneeling,
Do thou in secret pray.
Or, if 'tis e'er denied thee
In solitude to pray, Should holy thoughts come o'er thee
When friends are round thy way,
E'en then the silent pleading Thy spirit sends above,
Will reach His throne of glory, Where dwells eternal love.
Oh, not a joy or blessing
With this can we compare, — The power that He has given us
To pour our souls in prayer : Whene'er thou pin'st in sadness,
Before His footstool fall; Remember in thy gladness,
His grace, Who gives thee all.
Dox. XIII.

I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it ; that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. John xvii: 26.
i In boundless mercy, gracious Lord, appear, Darkness dispel, the humble mourner cheer ; Vain thoughts remove, melt down the flinty heart, Draw every soul to choose the better part.
2 Thy presence fills the universal space, Thy grace appears to all the human race, Oh I visit us with light and life divine, Fill every soul, — for every soul is Thine.
3 The blessed Jesus is my Lord, my Love:
He is my King; from Him I would not move. Hence earthly charms, far, far, from me depart, Nor seek to draw from my dear Lord my heart.

And left no room for any other guest. Dox. xi.

All their load on Thee ; When the troubled, seeking peace,

At Thy feet shall fall : Hear then, in love, 0 Lord, the cry, In heav'n, Thy dwelling-place on high!

When the stranger asks a home,
All his toils to end ; When the hungry craveth food,
And the poor a friend ; When the sailor on the wave
Bows the humble knee ; When the soldier on the field
Lifts his heart to Thee : Hear then, in love, 0 Lord, the cry, In heav'n, Thy dwelling-place on high!
When the man of toil and care,
In the city crowd ; When the shepherd on the moor
Names the Name of God ; When the learned and the high,
Tired of earthly fame, Upon higher joys intent,
Name the blessed Name ; Hear then, in love, 0 Lord, the cry In heav'n, Thy dwelling-place on high!
When the child, with guileless lip,
Youth, or maiden fair; When the aged, weak and gray,
Seek Thy face in prayer ; When Thy waiting, longing church,
Looking for a home, Sendeth up her silent sigh,
Come, Lord Jesus, come ! Hear then, in love, 0 Lord, the cry, In heav'n, Thy dwelling-place on high!

Evening and morning and at noon will I pray. Ps. lv: 17
i My God, is any hour so sweet,
From blush of morn to evening star, As that which calls me to Thy feet, The hour of prayer?
2 Blest is that tranquil hour of morn,
And blest that solemn hour of eve, When, on the wings of pray'r upborne, The world I leave.
3 Then is my strength by Thee renewed ;
Then are my sins by Thee forgiven ; Then dost Thou cheer my solitude With hopes of Heaven.
4 No words can tell what sweet relief
Here for my every want I find ; What strength for warfare, balm for grief, What peace of mind.
5 Hushed is each doubt, gone every fear;
My spirit seems in heaven to stay ; And e'en the penitential tear Is wiped away.

No privilege so dear should be As thus my inmost soul to pour In prayer to Thee.

Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee, Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.
3 Holy, holy, holy ! though the darkness hide Thee, Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see,
Only Thou art holy : there is none beside Thee Perfect in power, in love, and purity.
4 Holy, holy, holy I Lord God Almighty ! All Thy works shall praise Thy name, in earth, and sky, and
Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty ; Father and Saviour, glory be to Thee.

i Jesus, in Thee our hopes shall rest,
Fountain of peace, and joy, and love; Be Thy great name on earth confessed, As by the hosts of heaven above.
2 Thine is all wisdom, Thine alone:
Mercy and truth before Thee stand ; Justice and judgment form Thy throne, And love divine impels Thy hand.
3 No other can Thy honors claim,
Or join in Thy redeeming care ; No rival bear Thy sacred name; No equal in Thy glory share.
4 Worship to Thee alone belongs ;
Worship to Thee alone we give : Thine be our hearts, and Thine our songs, 0 Lord, in whom alone we live. Dox. i.

A i* Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it : thou greatly enrichest it with the river of
God, which is full of water. Ps. lxv: 9.
i With songs and honors sounding loud, Address the Lord on high ; Over the heavens He spreads His cloud, And waters vail the sky.
2 He sends His showers of blessings down
To cheer the plains below ; He makes the grass the mountains crown, And corn in valleys grow.
3 His steady counsels change the face
Of the declining year; He bids the sun cut short his race, And wintry days appear.
4 His hoary frost, His fleecy snow,
Descend and clothe the ground ; The liquid streams forbear to flow, In icy fetters bound.
5 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.
6 The changing wind, the flying cloud,
Obey His mighty word : With songs and honors sounding loud, Praise ye the sovereign Lord. Dox. iv.

It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.

K A There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth in the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky. Deut. xxxiii ; 26.
i None is like Jeshurun' s God,
So great, so strong, so high; Lo, He spreads His wings abroad,
He rides upon the sky ! Israel is His chosen son ;
God, the mighty God, is thine : See Him to thy help come down,
The Excellence Divine.
2 Thee the great Jehovah deigns <
To succour and defend : Thee the eternal God sustains,
Thy Maker and thy Friend. Israel what hast thou to dread,
Safe from all impending harms? Round thee and beneath are spread
The everlasting arms.
3 In a land of corn and wine Thy lot shall be below ;
Comforts shall with blessings join, And milk and honey flow.
Jacob's well shall ne'er be dry : Gracious dew shall heaven distil;
Joy descending from on high Each humble heart shall fill.
4 Blest, 0 Israel, blest art thou 1 What people is like thee ?
Saved and kept by Jesus now Thou art and still shalt be.
Jesus is thy sevenfold shield : Jesus is thy flaming sword :
Earth, and hell, and sin shall yield To His almighty Word.

2 To Him shall endless prayer be made, And endless praises crown His head ; His name like sweet perfume shall rise With every morning sacrifice.
3 People and realms of every tongue Dwell on His love with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His Name.

Let earth adore its Lord; Through earth's rejoicing lands:
Bright cherubs His attendants stand, Great is His mercy, sure His word, Swift to fulfill His word. His truth forever stands.

His Church shall make His wonders Will guide us till we die;

i Thou art, 0 God, the life and light Of all this wondrous world we see ; Its glow by day, its smile by night,
Are but reflections, Lord, from Thee : Where'er we turn, Thy glories shine, And all things fair and bright are Thine.
2 When day, with farewell beam, delays
Among the opening clouds of even, And we can almost think we gaze
Through golden vistas into heaven ; Those hues, that mark the sun's decline, So soft, so radiant, Lord, are Thine.
3 When night, with wings of starry gloom,
O'ershadows all the earth and skies, Like some dark beauteous bird, whose plume
Is sparkling with unnumbered eyes ; That sacred gloom, those fires Divine, So grand, so countless, Lord, are Thine.

The trees that wave their arms above, The hills that gird our dwellings round, As Thou didst gird Thine own with love.
3 Yet teach us still how far more fair,
More glorious, Father ! in Thy sight, Is one pure deed, one holy prayer,
One heart that owns Thy Spirit's might.

On all the gifts Thy love has given, Help us in Thee to live and die,
By Thee to rise from earth to heaven.

The light had first its birth ; On thee for our salvation
Christ rose from depths of earth ;
On thee our Lord victorious The Spirit sent from heaven;
And thus on thee most glorious A triple light was given.
Thou art a cooling fountain
In life's dry dreary sand ; From thee, like Pisgah's mountain,
We view our promised land; A day of sweet reflection,
A day of holy love, A day of resurrection
From earth to things above.

The heavenly manna falls, To holy convocations
The silver trumpet calls, Where gospel-light is glowing
With pure and radiant beams, And living water flowing
With soul-refreshing streams.

To spirits of the blest. To Thee, 0 Lord! be praises,
For every good begun ; The church her voice upraises

On all the world around, Uplifts my soul, 0 God ! to Thee, Where rest is found.

As weekly labors cease ; No voice, but those that sweetly sing Sweet songs of peace.

Glad songs of heavenly love, Shall sing, when songs on earth have ceased, With saints above.

Brighten Thou my Sabbath morning ; With Thy joyous sunshine blest,
Happy be my day of rest.

To Thy living waters lead me ; Thou from earth my soul release,
And with grace and mercy feed me ; Bless Thy Word, that it may prove
Rich in fruits that Thou dost love.

That upon my lips is lying; Clear the shadows from mine eyes,
That, from every error flying, No strange fire in me may glow,
Which Thine altar doth not know.

Come, Thou glorious Majesty ! Deign to fill this temple lowly ;
Nought to-day my soul shall move, Simply resting in Thy love.

Call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable. Isa. Jviii : 13.
i The dawn of God's own Sabbath
Breaks o'er the earth again, As some sweet summer morning
Succeeds a night of pain. It comes as cooling showers
To some exhausted land, 3
As shade of clustered palm-trees
'Mid weary waste of sand.
2 0 day, when earthly sorrow Is merged in heavenly joy, And trial changed to blessing That foes may not destroy ;
When want is turned to fulness,
And weariness to rest, And pain to wondrous rapture,
Upon the Saviour's breast !
Grant, Lord, our gracious Saviour 1
That we may evermore, In Thy most holy presence,
Thy sacred Name adore ! 0 bless this peaceful Sabbath,
Within these temple walls ; Type of the stainless worship
In Zion's golden halls !
Pox. XIII.

Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Ps. cl : 6.
i Oh, come, and let us all, with one accord, Lift up our cheerful voice, and praise the Lord ! His goodness let our grateful hearts proclaim, Yea, let us laud and magnify His Name.
2 Let universal nature ever raise
A cheerful voice to give Him thanks and praise ; Let us and all His saints His glory sing, Who is our blessed Saviour, Lord, and King.
3 For by His word the heavens and earth were made, The earth's foundation also firmly laid ;
All things were done at His divine command, And shall throughout all ages surely stand.
4 Therefore let all in heaven and earth agree To sing His praise in perfect unity; Yea, let His servants all, with one accord, With joyful hallelujahs praise the Lord.
THE LORD'S DAY.

Fix within our hearts Thy home; With Thy bright appearing cheer us, In Thy blessed freedom come.

From harm and danger keep Thy children free, For dark and light are both alike to Thee.

In Thy wide grasp, and comprehensive eye, Worlds upon worlds, and suns unnumber'd lie; Systems enclosed in Thy perception roll, Whose all-informing mind directs the whole : Led by Thy hand, their certain ways they know, Placed in that sight from whence they cannot go.
Around Thy throne the flaming seraphs stand, And touch the golden lyre with trembling hand, Transported with the ardors of Thy praise, The holy, holy, holy anthem raise. To them, responsive, let creation sing The omnipresent and almighty King I
Even the night shall be light about me. Ps. cxxxix: n.

Oppressed with various ills, draw near : What if Thy form we cannot see ? We know and feel that Thou art here.

For some are sick, and some are sad, And some have never loved Thee well, And some have lost the love they had ;

Yet from the world they" break not free; And some have friends who give them pain, Yet have not sought a friend in Thee ;

For none are wholly free from sin ; And they, who fain would love Thee best, Are conscious most of wrong within.

We joyful wake in heaven above. Dox. hi.

Abide with us : for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. Luke xxiv : 29.
i Abide with me! fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens ; Lord, with me abide I When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me !
2 Swift to its close'ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away ; Change and decay in all around I see;
0 Thou, who changest not, abide with me I
3 I need Thy presence every passing hour ;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me!
4 I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless ; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is Death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
1 triumph still if Thou abide with me.
5 Hold Thou Thy Word before my closing eyes ; Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies. Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's Vain shadows flee! In life, in death, 0 Lord, abide with me! Dox. xi.

ie duteous day now closeth, ^ach flower and tree reposeth,
Shade creeps o'er wild and wood : Let us, as night is falling, On God our Maker calling,
Give thanks to Him, the Giver good.

For joy of beauty not his own.

To heaven his soul doth steal : This life he disesteemeth, The day it is that dreameth,

And grope in faithless strife : But when life's day is over Shall death's fair night discover
The fields of everlasting life.

It is a good thing to sing praises unto thy name, O most High, and to show forth thy faithfulness every night. Ps. xcii : 1,2.
i The shadows of the evening hours
Fall from the darkening sky, Upon the fragrance of the flowers
The dews of evening lie ; Before Thy throne, 0 Lord of heaven 1
We kneel at close of day ; Look on Thy children from on high,
And hear us while we pray.
2 The sorrows of Thy servants, Lord,
Oh, do not Thou despise, But let the incense of our prayers
Before Thy mercy rise; The brightness of the coming night
Upon the darkness rolls ; With hopes of future glory chase
The shadows of our souls.
-I— o — I
E VENING.
Slowly the rays of daylight fade ;
So fade within our heart The hopes in earthly love and joy,
That one by one depart ; Slowly the bright stars, one by one,
Within the heavens shine: — Give us, 0 Lord, fresh hopes in heaven,
And trust in things divine.
123
I flee unto thee to hide me. Ps. cxliii : 9
i Now, Lord, be with us, for the night is closing ; The light and darkness are of Thy disposing ; And 'neath Thy shadow here to rest we yield us ; For Thou wilt shield us.
2 Let evil thoughts and spirits flee before us,
Till morning cometh, watch, 0 Father ! o'er us ; In soul and body Thou from harm defend us, Thine angels send us.
3 Let holy thoughts be ours when sleep o'ertakes us; Our earliest thoughts be Thine when morning wakes us All sick and mourners, we to Thee commend them,
Do Thou befriend them.
4 We have no refuge, none on earth to aid us,
But Thee, 0 Father ! who Thine own hast made us ; But Thy blest presence will not leave them lonely Who seek Thee only.

We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. Ps. lxv: 4.
i Again as evening's shadow falls, We gather in these hallowed walls ; And evening hymn and evening prayer Rise mingling on the holy air.
2 May struggling hearts that seek release, Here find the rest of God's own peace ; And, strengthened here by hymn and prayer, Lay down their burden and their care.
3 0 God our Light 1 to Thee we bow ; Within all shadows standest Thou ; Give deeper calm than night can bring ; Give sweeter songs than life can sing.
4 Life's tumult we must meet again, We cannot at the shrine remain ; But in the spirit's secret cell May hymn and prayer for ever dwell.

He appointed the moon for seasons : the sun knoweth his going down. Ps. civ: \<j,
i The day is gently sinking to a close,
Fainter and yet more faint the sunlight glows ; 0 Brightness of the Father's Glory, Thou, Eternal Light of Light, be with us now ; Where Thou art present, darkness cannot be : Midnight is glorious noon, 0 Lord, with Thee.

2 Thou, Who in darkness walking didst appear Upon the waves, and Thy disciples cheer,
Come, Lord, in lonesome days, when storms assail, And earthly hopes and human succors fail : When all is dark, may we behold Thee nigh, And hear Thy voice," Fear not, for it is I."
3 Our earthly life draws daily to its close, Labor and care await their sweet repose.
0 Conqu'ror of the grave, be Thou our Guide, Be Thou our Light in death's brief eventide ; Then in out mortal home will be no gloom, No sting in death, no terror of the tomb.
Fine.
At evening time it shall be light. Zech. xiv : 7
Softly now the light of day :
Fades upon my sight away ; Free from care, from labor free, Lord, I would commune with Thee. Thou whose all-pervading eye Naught escapes, without, within, Pardon each infirmity, Open fault and secret sin.
Soon the light of this world's day From my sight shall pass away ; Then from sin, from sorrow free, Take me, Lord, to dwell with Thee. With the blessed angel throng In the realms of light above, Then shall rise my grateful song, Praising Thy redeeming love.

Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh, Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky. Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose, With Thy tend' rest blessing
May our eyelids close. Grant to little children
Visions bright of Thee, Guard the sailors, tossing
On the deep blue sea. Comfort every sufferer,
Watch o'er all in pain ; Those who plan some evil
From their sin restrain. Through the long night-watches
May Thine angels spread Their white wings above me,
Watching round my bed. When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise Pure, and fresh and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
1 Jesus, meek and gentle,
Holy Lord most high, Pitying, loving Saviour, Hear Thy children's cry.
2 Pardon our offences,
Loose our captive chains, Break down every idol Which our soul detains.
3 Give us holy freedom,
Fill our hearts with love ; Draw us, holy Jesus, To the realms above.
4 Lead us on our journey,
Be Thyself the way Through terrestrial darkness To celestial day.
5 Jesus, meek and gentle,
Holy Lord most high, Pitying, loving Saviour, Hear Thy children's cry.

0 how shall I receive Thee,
How greet Thee, Lord, aright ! All nations long to see Thee,
My hope, my heart's delight ! 0, kindle, Lord, most holy,
Thy lamp within my breast, To do, in spirit lowly,
All that may please Thee best.
Thy Zion palms is strewing,
And branches fresh and fair : My heart, its powers renewing,
An anthem shall prepare: My soul puts off her sadness
Thy glories to proclaim ; With all her strength and gladness
She fain would serve Thy name.
3 Love caused Thy incarnation, Love brought Thee down to me ;
Thy thirst for my salvation
Procured my liberty: 0, love beyond all telling!
That led Thee to embrace In love all love excelling,
Our lost and fallen race!
4 0, this blest truth remember All ye who sit in gloom ;
Within your hearts' best chamber For this dear guest make room.
He only who can cheer you, Is standing at the door;
He brings His pity near you, And bids you weep no more.

Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given. Isa. ix: 6.
i Joy fills our inmost heart to-day ; The royal Child is born : And angel hosts in glad array His advent keep this morn. Rejoice, rejoice! The Incarnate Word
Has come on earth to dwell ; No sweeter sound than this is heard, " Emanuel!"
2 Low at the cradle throne we bend,
We wonder and adore ; And feel no bliss can ours transcend,
No joy so sweet before. Rejoice, rejoice! etc»
3 For us the world must lose its charms
Before the manger shrine, When, folded in the mother's arms
We see Thee, Child divine. Rejoice, rejoice! etc.
4 Thou Light of uncreated Light,
Shine on us, Holy Child; That we may keep Thy birthday bright, With service undefiled. Rejoice, rejoice 1 The Incarnate Word
Has come on earth to dwell : No sweeter sound than this is heard, "Emanuel!"

Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger. Luke ii : 12.
i Dost Thou in a manger lie,
Who hast all created, Stretching infant hands on high,
Saviour long awaited? If a monarch, where Thy state? Where Thy court on Thee to wait?
Royal purple, where? Here no Tegal pomp we see ; Nought but need and penury:
Why thus cradled here ?
2 Pitying love for fallen man
Brought Thee down thus low; For a race deep lost in sin,
Camest Thou to woe. By this lowly Birth of Thine
Thou hast brought to be all mine
Matchless gifts and free ; Willingly Thy yoke I take, And the sacrifice I make, Asked in turn by Thee.
Fervent praise would I to Thee
Evermore be raising; For Thy wondrous love to me
Thee be ever praising. Glory, glory, be for ever Unto that most bounteous Giver,
And that loving Lord ! Better witness to Thy worth, Purer praise than ours on earth,
Angel's songs afford.

From angels bending near the earth, To touch their harps of gold. " Peace on the earth, good-will to men," From heaven's All-gracious King, The world in solemn stillness lay

With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing : 0 rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing.

Hark ! the herald angels sing
Glory to the new-born King.
2 Christ, by highest heaven aaored, Christ, the everlasting Lord, Late in time behold him come Offspring of a virgin's womb I Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, Hail the incarnate Deity I Pleased as man with man to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel.
Hark ! the herald angels sing Glory to the new-born King.
Hail I the heav'n-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. Hark! The herald angels sing Glory to the new-born King.

God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest. Luke ii : 13, 14.
i Hark ! what mean those holy voices,
Sweetly sounding through the skies ? Lo ! the angelic host rejoices,
Heavenly alleluias rise. Listen to the wond'rous story,
Which they chant in hymns of joy : — Glory in the highest, glory,
Glory be to God on high !
2 Peace on earth, good-will from heav'n,
Thus they sing with harps of gold; Christ is born, the Son is given,
Of the prophets long foretold. Haste, ye mortals, to adore Him,
Heaven and earth His praises bring ; Men and angels fall before Him,
Hail your Saviour, Lord, and King. Dox. viii.

14-^ Unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord. ■■■*• Luke ii: n.
i Christians ! awake, salute the happy morn, Whereon the Saviour of mankind was born ; Rise to adore the mystery of love, Which hosts of angels chanted from above; With them the joyful tidings first begun Of God Incarnate and the Virgin's Son.
Then to the watchful shepherds it was told, Who heard th' angelic herald's voice: Behold, I bring good tidings of a Saviour' s birth, To you and all the nations upon earth I This day hath God fulfilled His promised word ; This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord.
He spake : and straightway the celestial choir In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire; The praises of redeeming love they sang, And heaven's whole orb with hallelujah's rang; God's highest glory was their anthem still, Peace upon earth, and unto men good will I
To Bethlehem straight th' enlightened shepherds ran, To see the wonder God had wrought for man ; Then to their flocks, still praising God, return. While their glad hearts with holy rapture burn- To all, the joyful tidings they proclaim, The first apostles of the Saviour's Name.
0 may we keep and ponder in our mind God's wondrous love in saving lost mankind! Trace we the Babe, who hath retrieved our loss, From the poor manger to the bitter cross ; Tread in His steps, assisted by His grace, Till man's first heavenly state again takes place.

Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy. Luke ii : 10.
Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing ; Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King ! Sion the marvelous story be telling,
The Son of the Highest, how lowly His birth I The brightest archangel in glory excelling, He stoops to redeem thee, He reigns upon earth. Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing, Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King !
Tell how He cometh; from nation to nation,
The heart-cheering news let the earth echo round : How free to the faithful He offers salvation,
How His people with joy everlasting are crowned. Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing ; Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King!
Mortals, your homage be gratefully bringing, And sweet let the gladsome Hosanna arise ; Ye angels, the full Alleluia be singing;
One chorus resound through the earth and the skies. Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing ; Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King !

Move on, ye throngs of men 1 Chances and changes come and go;
God changeth not 1 Amen.
And on the throngs of men,
On worrying care and strife, Sinks down, as if from angel tongues,
The word of hope and life.
2 Down in the darksome ways And worrying whirl of life
Sinks, like a strain of vesper-song, The thought of His great strife,
Who of the Virgin born, Made all our chains His own, And broke them with His own right arm, Nor left us more alone.
3 Amid the weak, One strong, Amid the false, One true,
Amid all change, One changing not, — One hope we ne'er shall rue. In whose sight all is now, In whose love all is best :
The things of this world pass away, Come, let us in Him rest.

1 All praise to Thee, eternal Lord, Clothed in garb of flesh and blood ; Choosing a manger for Thy throne, While worlds on worlds are Thine alone.
Alleluia.
2 Once did the skies before Thee bow ; Mother-arms contain Thee now ; Angels who did in Thee rejoice Now listen for Thine Infant voice.
Alleluia.
3 A little Child, Thou art our guest, Yet by angels God confessed ; Forlorn and lowly is Thy birth,
That we may rise to heaven from earth.
Alleluia.
4 Thou comest in the darksome night That we may be sons of light,
To make us, in the realms divine, Like all Thine angels, round Thee shine.
Alleluia.
5 All this for us Thy love hath done ; Thus to Thee our love is won ; For this we tune our cheerful lays,
And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise.

And calms the troubled breast : 'Tis manna to the hungry soul, And to the weary, rest.

My shield and hiding place, My never-failing treasury, filled "With boundless stores of grace.
4 Though weak the effort of my heart,

5 Till then I would Thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath ; And may the music of Thy Name Refresh my soul in death.

lOt) The star which they saw in the East
i Lo, the pilgrim Magi
Leave their royal halls, And with eager footsteps
Speed to Bethlehem's walls ; As they onward journey,
Faith, which firmly rests Upon hope unswerving,
Triumphs in their breasts.
2 Oh, what joys ecstatic
Thrilled each heart, from far, When, to guide their footsteps
Gleamed that beacon star ; O'er that home so holy,
Pouring down its ray, Where the cradled Infant
With His mother lay.
3 Costly pomp and pageant
Earthly kings array ; He, a mightier Monarch, Hath a nobler sway ;

Straw may be His pallet, Mean His garb may be,
Yet with power transcendent He all hearts can free.
At His crib they worship,
Prostrate on the floor ; And their God, there present,
In that Babe adore : Let us to that Infant,
As their followers true, Hearts with faith o'erflowing
Give, our tribute due ;—
Holiest Love presenting,
Gold unto our King ; To the Man pure bodies,
Myrrh-like, chastely bring ; Unto Him, as incense,
Vow and prayer address ; So, with meetest off' rings
Him our God confess.

lOl The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. Isa. xl 5.
1 All ye Gentile lands, awake I
Thou, 0 Salem, rise and shine I See the day-spring o'er you break,
Heralding a morn divine ; Telling God hath called to mind Those who long in darkness pined.
2 Lo ! the glory of the Lord
Hath aris'n on us to-day ; We have seen the light outpoured
That must surely drive away All things that to night belong, All the sad earth's woe and wrong.
3 Thy arising, Lord, shall fill
All my thoughts in sorrow's hour ; Thy arising, Lord, shall still All my dread of death's dark pow'r ; Through my smiles and through my
tears, Still Thy light, 0 Lord, appears.
4 Let me, Lord, in peace depart
From all evil unto Thee ; Where Thyself sole brightness art,
Thou hast kept a place for me ; In the shining city there, Crowns of light Thy saints shall wear. Do*, xv.

IXC His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of peace. Isa. ix : 6.
i Alone to God on high be praise
And thankful adoration, That we may now, and all our days,
Rejoice in His salvation. Let high in heaven His praises sound, Peace and good-will on earth abound,
All feud and strife be ended.
2 Ye Christian people, all rejoice,
Each soul with joy upspringing;
Pour forth one song with heart and voice, With love and gladness singing.
Give thanks to God, the Lord above,
Thanks for His miracle of love ; In love hath He redeemed us.

But cometh of Thy hand ; Root quickly out the weeds of sin, My cunning foe withstand.

Odors of Edom and off'rings divine? Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest and gold from the mine ?

Vainly with gifts would His favor secure ; Richer by far is the heart's adoration; Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

And break the tyrant's rod, As in the day when Midian fell Before the sword of God.

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. Matt, ii: 10.
i As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold ; As with joy they hail'd its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee.
3 As they offered gifts most rare At that cradle rude and bare ; So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Lord I to Thee our heavenly King.
2 As with joyous steps they sped 4 Holy Jesus ! every day
To the Infant Saviour's bed ; There to bend the knee before Him whom heaven and earth adore So may we with willing feet Ever seek the mercy-seat.
Keep us in the narrow way ; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide.
In the heavenly country bright, Need they no created light ; Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown, Thou its Sun which goes not down, There forever may we sing Hallelujahs to our King. Dox. xv.

1 We saw Thee not when Thou didst come
To this poor world of sin and death, Nor e'er beheld Thy cottage-home
In that despised Nazareth ; But we believe Thy footsteps trod Its streets and plains, Thou Lamb of God.
2 We did not see Thee lifted high
Amid that wild and savage crew, Nor heard Thy meek, imploring cry,
44 Forgive, they know not what they do; " Yet we believe the deed was done, Which shook the earth and veiled the sun.
3 We stood not by the empty tomb
Where late Thy sacred body lay, Nor sat within that upper room,
Nor met Thee in the open way ; But we believe that angels said, " Why seek the living with the dead ?"

We did not mark the chosen few,
When Thou didst through the clouds ascend, First lift to heaven their wondering view,
Then to the earth all prostrate bend; Yet we believe their open'd eyes Beheld Thy journey to the skies.
And now that Thou dost reign on high, And thence Thy waiting people bless ;
A ray of glory from Thy sky Doth shine upon our wilderness ;
And we believe Thy faithful word,
And trust in our redeeming Lord.

i My dear Redeemer and my Lord, I read my duty in Thy Word; But in Thy life the law appears Drawn out in living characters.
2 Such is Thy truth, and such Thy
zeal Thy work of mercy to fulfil; Such love, and meekness so divine, I would transcribe and make them
mine.
3 Cold mountains and the midnight

i 0 Love, how deep ! how broad ! how high 1 It fills the heart with ecstasy, That God, th' eternal Word, should take Our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 He sent no angel of our race Of higher or of lower place, But wore the robe of human frame Himself, and to this lost world came.
3 For us He was baptized, and bore His holy fast, and hungered sore ; For us temptation sharp He knew; For us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us He prayed, for us He taught, For us His daily works He wrought, By words, and signs, and actions, thus Still seeking not Himself, but us.
5 For us to wicked men betrayed, Scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed, He bore the shameful cross and death, For us at length gave up His breath.
6 For us He rose from death again,
For us He went on high to reign,
For us He sends His spirit here
To guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.

The chastisement of our peace was upon him : and with his stripes we are healed. Isa. liii : 5.
i Go to dark Gethsemane,
Ye that feel the tempter's power ; Your Redeemer's conflict see,
Watch with Him one bitter hour ; Turn not from His griefs away, Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.
2 See Him at the judgment-hall, Beaten, bound, reviled, ar- raigned; See Him meekly bearing all !
Love to man His soul sustained ! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss ; Learn of Him to bear the cross.
3 Calvary's mournful mountain
climb ;
There, adoring at His feet, Mark that miracle of time,
Love's own sacrifice complete. "It is finished" hear Him cry ; Learn of Jesus Christ to die.

Where His lifeless body lay; Angels keep their vigils there :
Who hath taken Him away? "Christ is risen!" He meets our

Close to Jesus at the last. Through her soul, of joy bereaved, Bowed with anguish, deeply grieved, Now at length the sword hath passed.
2 Hear that word of love descending, Unto John her care commending,
Naming him henceforth her son. Bidding him:"Behold thy mother"; Bidding men "Love one another ;
Prove your love; as I have done."
3 To his home the mother leading, Still her tears to us are pleading,
Lest we should forget her care :
She the faith that needs protecting,
Ours the love that needs perfecting
That we may true succour bear.

May Thy love all foes forgiving,
And Thy Word of endless living
Give me in Thy death a part.

I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously. Exod. xv: r.
Come, ye faithful, raise the strain
Of triumphant gladness ; God hath brought His Israel
Into joy from sadness ; Loosed from Pharaoh's bitter yoke
Jacob's sons and daughters; Led them with unmoistened foot
Through the Red Sea waters.
'Tis the spring of souls to-day; ,
Christ hath burst His prison, And from three days' sleep in death
As a sun hath risen : All the winter of our sins,
Long and dark, is flying From His Light, to Whom we give
Laud and praise undying.
Now the Queen of seasons, bright
With the Day of splendor, With the royal Feast of Feasts,
Comes its joy to render; Comes to glad Jerusalem,
Which with true affection Welcomes in unwearied strains
Jesus' resurrection.
Neither might the gates of death
Nor the tomb's dark portal, Nor the watchers, nor the seal,
Hold Thee as a mortal: But to-day amidst the Twelve
Thou didst stand, bestowing That Thy peace, which evermore
Passeth human knowing.

1 Lift up, lift up your voices now ! The whole wide world rejoices now ; The Lord hath triumphed gloriously, The Lord shall reign victoriously !
2 In vain with stone the cave they barred ; In vain the watch kept ward and guard Majestic from the spoiled tomb,
In pomp of triumph Christ is come 1
3 He binds in chains the ancient foe ; A countless host He frees from woe, And heav'n's high portal open flies, For Christ has risen, and man shall rise.
4 And all He did, and all He bare, He gives us as our own to share ; And hope and joy and peace begin,
For Christ has won, and man shall win.
5 0 Victor, aid us in the fight,
And lead through death to realms of light ; We safely pass where Thou hast trod ; Through death we rise to Thee our God. Dox.

I am the resurrection and the life. John xi : 25
The day of Resurrection !
Earth, tell it out abroad; The Passover of gladness,
The Passover of God. From death to life eternal,
From earth unto the sky, Our Christ hath brought us over,
With hymns of victory.
2 Our hearts be pure from evil,
That we may see aright The Lord in rays eternal
Of resurrection-light ; And, listening to His accents,
May hear so calm and plain His own u All hail," and hearing
May raise the victor strain.
Now let the heavens be joyful,
And earth her song begin, The round world keep high triumph,
And all that is therein; Let all things seen and unseen
Their notes of gladness blend, For Christ the Lord is risen
Our Joy that hath no end Dox. xiii.

He is not here, but is risen. Luke xxiv: 6.
"He is risen," uHe is risen;" Tell it out with joyful voice :
He has burst His three days' prison ; Let the whole wide earth rejoice :
Death is conquered, man is free,
Christ has won the victory.
"He is risen," uHe is risen ;" He hath opened heaven's gate :
We are loosed from sin's dark prison, Called unto a holier state.
Soon a brighter Easter beam
On our longing eyes shall stream.
Risen Lord, let all adore Thee,
Saints on earth and saints in heaven ;
Every creature bow before Thee, Who hast all their being given ;
Who by grace dost us restore
Praise to Thee for evermore. Dox. xviii.

Sing with all the sons of glory,
Sing the resurrection song ! Death and sorrow, earth's dark story,
To the former days belong ; All around the cloudsare breaking,
Lo ! the storms of time do cease, In God's likeness, man awaking,
Knows the everlasting peace.

All that eye has yet perceived I Holiest hearts for ages pleading,
Never that full joy conceived. God has promised, and prepares it,
There on high our welcome waits ; Every humble spirit shares it,
Christ has passed the eternal gates.

Jesus lives who once was dead ; Join, 0 man, the deathless voices,
Child of God, lift up thy head! Patriarchs from the distant ages,

i Angels, roll the rock away ; Death, yield up thy mighty prey : See ! He rises from the tomb, Bright with heaven's immortal
bloom. 'Tis the Saviour ! Angels, raise Your triumphant songs of praise ; Let the world's remotest bound Hear the joy-inspiring sound.
2 0 ye people, lift your eyes, <
High in glory see Him rise ; Hosts of angels on the road Hail and sing th' incarnate God. Praise Him, all ye heavenly choirs, Praise, and sweep your golden lyres ; All on earth, in humble strain, Sing the mighty Saviour's reign.
3 Where, 0 death, is now thy sting ? Over thee the Lord is King ; Where, 0 grave, thy victory ? Christ no more in thee doth lie. Heaven unfolds her portals wide, Glorious Hero, through them ride ; King of Glory, mount Thy throne, Heaven and earth are all Thine own.

Who triumphed o'er the grave, And rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save ; His glories now we sing
Who died, and rose on high, Who died, eternal life to bring,
And lives that death may die.

With glad songs 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.
2 Now our heavenly Aaron enters,

g\IO He shall give you another Comforter . . . even the Spirit of truth. John xiv : 16.
i Come, Thou holy Spirit, come; 3 0 most blessed Light Divine,
And from Thine eternal home
Shed the ray of light divine; Come, Thou Father of the poor, Come, Thou source of all our store, Come, within our bosoms shine !
Thou of Comforters the best, Thou the soul's most welcome Guest,
Sweet Refreshment here below ! In our labor rest most sweet, Grateful shadow from the heat,
Solace in the midst of woe !
Shine within these hearts of Thine,
And our inmost being fill ; If Thou take Thy grace away, Nothing pure in man will stay, All our good is turned to ill.
Heal our wounds ; our strength
renew ; On our dryness pour Thy dew ;
Wash the stains of guilt away ; Bend the stubborn heart and will, Melt the frozen, warm the chill,
Guide the steps that go astray.
On the faithful, who adore And confess Thee, evermore
* In Thy sevenfold gifts descend ; Give them virtue's sure reward, Give them Thy salvation, Lord, Give them joys that never end.
THE HOLY SPIRIT.

i Come Thou, 0 come,
Sweetest and kindliest, Giver of tranquil rest Unto the weary soul : In all anxiety,
With power from heaven on high Console.
2 Come Thou, 0 come,
Help in the hour of need, Strength of the broken reed, Guide of each lonely one: Orphans' and widows' stay, Who tread in life's hard way Alone.
3 Come Thou, 0 come,
Glorious and shadow-free, Star of the stormy sea, Light of the tempest-tost : Harbor our souls to save, When hope upon the wave Is lost.
4 Come Thou, 0 come,
Joy in life's narrow path, Hope in the hour of death, Come, Blessed Spirit, come : Lead Thou us tenderly, Till we shall find with Thee Our home.

I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever. John xiv: 16.
i Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed His tender last farewell, A Guide, a Comforter, bequeathed With us to dwell.
2 He came in semblance of a Dove
With sheltering wings outspread, The holy balm of peace and love On earth to shed.
3 He came sweet influence to impart,
A gracious, willing guest, While He can find one humble heart Wherein to rest.
4 And His that gentle voice we hear,
Soft as the breath of even, That checks each thought, that calms each fear, And speaks of heaven.
5 And every virtue we possess,
And every victory won, And every thought of holiness Are His alone.
6 Spirit of purity and grace,
Our weakness, pitying, see; 0 make our hearts Thy dwelling-place, And meet for Thee

A sacred flame unending. Soon shall that fire behold Vile earth transformed to fine wrought gold, And gloom of shad'wy night That flame shall kindle into light. || : Therefore, Thou mighty Wind, blow on^: ||

And waft to realms unbounded The notes of Faith and Hope, and tender Love,
The Gospel trump hath sounded. Those sweetly piercing tones, That charm all woes and tears and groans, Through earth and sea and sky, Upon Thy rushing wings shall fly || : Therefore, Thou mighty Wind, blow on. : ||
3 Blow on, Thou mighty Wind,
For tempest tossed and lonely The Church upon the rolling billows rides,
And trusts in Thy breath only. She spreads her swelling sails For Thee to fill with favoring gales Till, through the stormy sea, Thou bring her home where she would be : || : Therefore, Thou mighty Wind, blow on.:||
4 Blow on, Thou mighty Wind,
On hearts contrite and broken, And bring in quick'ning pow'r Thy gracious words
That once on earth were spoken. Lol then, from death and sleep, The list'ning soul to life shall leap, Then love shall reign below And joy the whole wide world o'er-flow: || : Therefore, Thou mighty Wind, blow on. : ||

3 See barbarous nations at thy gates attend, Walk in thy light and in thy temple bend.
See thy bright altars thronged with prostrate kings, While every land its joyous tribute brings.

But keep thou watch and ward ; Fair bride, all pure and lowly,

To be His holy bride, With His own life He bought her,
And for her life He died.
3 'Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore ; Till with the vision glorious,
Her longing eyes are blest ; And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.
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.
4 Yet she with Thee hath union,
0 Saviour, God triune ! And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won ; 0 happy ones and holy !
Lord! give us grace, that we, Like them, the meek and lowly,
On high may dwell with Thee.

O send out thy light and thy truth. Ps. xliii
Arise, 0 Lord, and shine
In all Thy saving might,
And prosper each design
To spread Thy glorious light: Let healing streams of mercy flow, That all the earth Thy truth may know.
Oh, bring the nations near,
That they may sing Thy praise;
Let all the people hear
And learn Thy holy ways : Reign, mighty God, assert Thy cause, And govern by Thy righteous laws.
Put forth Thy glorious power:
The nations then shall see,
And earth present her store,
In converts born to Thee : God, our own God, His Church shall bless, And earth be filled with righteousness.

The gifts of God are strewn ; For him who in his blindness
Bows down to wood and stone.

Give, and it shall be given unto you ; good measure, pressed down and shaken togethc and running over shall men give into your bosom. Luke vi : 38.
i Is thy cruse of comfort wasting ? 5 Numb and weary on the mountains, Rise, and with -thy brother share, Wouldst thou sleep amidst the snow?
And through all the years of famine Chafe the frozen form beside thee, On its bounty ye shall fare. And together both shall glow.
2 Love divine will fill thy storehouse, 6 Art thou stricken in life's battle?
Or thy handful still renew ; Many wounded round thee moan ;
Scanty fare for one will often Lavish on their wounds thy balsams,
Make a royal feast for two. And that balm shaU heal thine own.
3 For the heart grows rich in giving ; All its wealth is living grain ;
Seeds, which mildew in the garner, Scattered, fill with gold the plain.
4 Is thy burden hard and heavy, Do thy steps drag wearily ?
Help to bear thy brother' s burden : God will bear both it and thee.
7 Is the heart a well left empty? None but God its void can fill ;
Nothing but a ceaseless fountain Can its ceaseless longings still.
8 Is the heart a living power? Self-entwined, its strength sinks
low ; It can only live in loving,
And by serving love will grow.

<wOO Thou art my hope, O Lord God, thou art my trust from my youth. Ps. lxxi 15.
i When all Thy mercies, gracious Lord, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise.
2 Unnumbered comforts on my soul
Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed.
3 While in the slippery paths of youth,
With heedless steps, I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe From childhood up to man.
4 Through every period of my life
Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in happier worlds, The glorious theme renew. Dox. iv.

^ In the world ye shall have tribulation:
/^Ol) hut be of good cheer: T have overcome the world. John xvi : 33.
i 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 Him their rest Shall ever find Him near ;
3 How He 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, In heaven's sunshine glad.

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 need not 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.
6 The bounties of Thy love
Shall crown my future days ; Nor from Thy house will I remove, Nor cease to speak Thy praise.

How excellent is thy loving kindness, O God I therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. Ps. xxxvi: 7.
i Whoso in God alone confideth,
Whose hope is fixed in Him always, He 'neath th' Almighty's wing abideth
Safe and unmoved in evil days. Who trusts in God's unchanging love, Builds on a rock that none can move.
2 0 man, cease from thy restless yearning,
And wait in cheerful hope, content To take what His all-wise discerning
His perfect love to thee has sent. No doubt our inmost wants are known To Him who calleth us His own.

He sends it as He sees it meet ; When thou hast proved thy spirit's power,
And art made free from all deceit, Then comes He to thee unaware, And makes thee own His loving care.

But trust Him for His grace ; Behind a frowning Providence He hides a smiling face.

Wealth, peace, and gladness,

Thine eye observes us,
From danger preserves us, Causing Thy mercy upon us to shine.

Welcome whatever Thy word hath decreed. My kind Physician Knows well my condition, That which will hurt me, Or heal and convert me,
God will not chasten us more than we need.
3 Griefs of God's sending,
All have an ending,
Clouds may be pouring,
Wind and wave roaring, Sunshine will come when the tempest has past.
Joys still increasing,
And peace never ceasing,
Faith lost in vision,
And hope in fruition, These are the joys which are promised at last.

His tender mercies are over all his works. Ps. cxlv: 9.
i As above the darkest storm-cloud 2
Shines the sun, serenely bright, Waiting to restore to nature
All the glory of his light, So, behind each cloud of sorrow,
So, in each affliction, stands, Hid, an angel, with a blessing
From the Father in his hands.
As without the tempest, pouring
O'er the earth the welcome rain, All were but a fruitless desert,
Barren sand for ripening grain, So if ne'er a cloud of sadness
Veiled the sunshine of the soul, — If affliction's waves were never
Suffered o'er the heart to roll, —

3 Love and faith might fail forever To bring forth their fruits of
Heaven's good seed of truth would perish
In a thorny wilderness. So, with cloud and storm and tempest
Grows our earthly summer dim, That the rebel heart, our Father
Thus may win to turn to Him.
4 And like Israel's tribes we wander In the desert waste and drear, Hungering, thirsting, faint and weary, Month by month and year by year. Till, how late ! we learn the lesson,
Not by bread alone we live, But by every word of blessing Which the mouth of God doth give.

2 Where is the blessedness I knew
When first I saw the Lord ? Where is the soul-refreshing view Of Jesus and His Word?
3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed !
How sweet their memory still ! But they have left an aching void The world can never fill.
4 Return, 0 holy Dove ; return,
Sweet messenger of rest ; I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, And drove Thee from my breast.
5 The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be, Help me to tear it from Thy throne, And worship only Thee.
6 So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame ; So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb. Dox. iv.

Bend from heaven Thy gracious ear; While our waiting souls adore Thee, Friend of helpless sinners, hear :

By Thy mercy, 0 deliver us, good Lord.

In the day of Satan's power, In our times of deep distresses,
In each dark and trying hour :

4 When the world around is smiling,
In the time of wealth and ease,
Earthly joys our hearts beguiling,
In the day of health and peace:
By Thy mercy, 0 deliver us, good Lord.

In the times of grief and pain, When we feel our mortal weak-
When the creature's help is vain; By Thy mercy, 0 deliver us, good Lord.

Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near.
3 The while I fain would tread the heavenly way, Evil is ever with me day by day;
Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall,

Pleasures that can never cloy. Thus provided, pardoned, guided,
Nothing can our peace destroy. Dox vii.

I will be with him in trouble. Ps. xci : 15.
In the hour of trial,
Jesus, strengthen me ; Lest by base denial,
I depart from Thee. When Thou see'st me waver,
With a look recall, Nor for fear or favor
Suffer me to fall.
With forbidden pleasures
Would this vain world charm, Or its sordid treasures
Spread to work me harm ; Bring to my remembrance
Sad Gethsemane, Or in darker semblance
Cross-crowned Calvary.
Should Thy mercy send me
Sorrow, toil, and woe ; Or should pain attend me
On my path of woe : Grant that I may never
Fail Thy hand to see ; Grant that I may ever
Cast my care on Thee.
When my lamp low burning
Sinks in death's last pain ; Earth to earth returning.
Dust to dust again ; On Thy truth relying,
Through that mortal strife, Saviour, take me dying
To eternal life.

Who reigns enthroned above, Ancient of everlasting days,
And God of love : Who was, and is, the same,
And evermore shall be : Eternal Father, great I AM,

Their power I shall withstand ; My race I run, through strength Divine, At God's command.
The watery deep I pass ;
My heavenly way pursue ; And through the lonely wilderness
I Jesus view.

To worlds of bliss. In Him secure I stand :

In sweetest strains : His servants there shall live,
In peace before His throne: And all the joys their God can give

Mingled according to Thy will, Though bitter to the taste it be, 'Tis full of heavenly mercy still.
3 Be Thou, 0 Rock of Ages, nigh !
So shall each murmuring thought be gone, And grief, and fear, and care shall fly, As clouds before the mid-day sun.
4 0 Thou, who bad'st the tempest cease,
And lo 1 the waves obeyed Thy will, Speak to my warring passions, peace !
Say to my trembling heart, "Be still." Dox. i.

My spirit hath rejoiced in God, my Saviour. Luke i : 47.
1 Rest of the weary,
Joy of the sad, Hope of the dreary,
Light of the glad ; Home of the stranger,
Strength to the end, Refuge from danger,
Saviour and Friend !
When my feet stumble,
To Thee I'll cry, Crown of the humble,
Cross of the high ; When my steps wander,
Over me bend Truer and fonder,
Saviour and Friend I
Pillow where lying
Love rests its head, Peace of the dying,
Life of the dead : Path of the lowly,
Prize at the end, Breath of the holy,
Saviour and Friend !
Ever confessing
Thee, I will raise Unto Thee blessing,
Glory and praise: All my endeavor,
World without end, Thine to be ever,
Saviour and Friend I

A man shall be as a hiding place from the wind and a covert from the tempest ; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. Isa. xxxii : 2.
i Ever gracious Lord! I fly- To the haven of Thy breast ;
When destruction draweth nigh, There may I in safety rest;
Till the storm is overpast, Thou wilt my protection be ;
From the flood and furious blast, Refuge I shall find in Thee.
2 Welcome as the water-springs, In a dry and desert place, Is Thy Spirit, for it brings Plenteous streams of truth and grace; As a great rock spreads its shade O'er a parched and weary land, So shall my defenceless head Find the shadow of Thy hand.
3 Be my shelter from the storm ;
Be my shadow from the sun ; Day by day the work perform
Which Thou hast in me begun : Weary, parch'd with thirst, and faint,
What, but Thy almighty breath, Can supply my every want,
Can redeem my soul from death?
4 Glory to Thy holy Name I
Jesus ! life and light Thou art, Love, immutably the same,
Thou canst never thence depart ; Love Thy very essence is,
All Thy doings spring from love : 'Tis the source of all our bliss,
Here, and in Thy heavens above.

OIA That the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them and I in them.
d 1V John xvii: 26.
1 Thou hidden love of God, whose height,
Whose depth unfathom'd no man knows; I see from far Thy beauteous light,
Inly I sigh for Thy repose : My heart is pained nor can it be At rest till it find rest in Thee.
2 Is there a thing beneath the sun
That strives with Thee my heart to share? Ah 1 tear it thence, and reign alone,
The Lord of every motion there. Then shall my heart from earth be free, When it hath found repose in Thee.

No more, but Thou in me, may live ;
My vile affections crucify,
Nor let one darling lust survive ;
In all things nothing may I see,
Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee.
Each moment draw from earth away My heart, that lowly waits Thy call ;
Speak to my inmost soul, and say, I am thy Love, thy God, thy All :
To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice,
To taste Thy love, be all my choice.

In the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. Ps. lvii: i.
i Jesus, lover of my soul!
Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll,
While the tempest still is high; Hide me, 0 my Saviour ! hide,
Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide;
0 receive my soul at last !
2 Other refuge have I none ;
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee ; Leave, ah ! leave me not alone ;
Still support and comfort me; All my trust on Thee is stayed;
All my help from Thee I bring : Cover my defenceless head,
With the shadow of Thy wing.
3 Plenteous grace with Thee is found,
Truth to cleanse from every sin ; Let the healing streams abound,
Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the Fountain art :
Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart;
Rise to all eternity.

For want and weakness known, The fear that sends me to Thy breast For what is most mine own.

That waits all day on Thee ; The service of a watchful heart Which no one else can see.

No other eye may know, Finds all its daily work prepared, And loves to have it so.

Neither sigh nor moan, But sweet songs of gladness

Then first true joy shall warm and bless thy heart, And heavenly blossoms by thy side awake.

And, in thy self-forgetfulness hast thought, The world too little to be gained by sin ;

0<w4: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Ps. xlvi : i.
i God is our strength and refuge high; A sure and present help is He, When dark and troublous days are nigh ; Hence free from fear our hearts shall be. Though earthquakes move the world, And hills 'midst seas be hurled, Though waters of the deep In turmoil roar and leap, And swelling shake the mountains steep.
2 A river flows, whose waters clear
The city of our God make glad ; The holy tabernacle, where
The Highest One His dwelling made. In midst of her hath God Established his abode ; No trouble can her move, For God her help will prove, When morning light dawns from above.
3 The nations rage, the kingdoms shake,
His voice goes forth, earth melts away, The Lord of Hosts our part doth take, And Jacob's God is shield and stay. Come then, let all draw near, And view with holy fear, The works surpassing thought Jehovah's arm hath wrought, What ruins He on earth hath brought.
4 To earth's remotest bounds He turns
Wars into peace ; He breaks the bow ; He cuts the spear, the chariot burns; uThat I am God, be still and know, Among the heathen I Will be exalted high ; • ' On earth supreme, the Lord Of hosts doth aid afford, And Jacob's God is shield and sword.

The Lord is a man of war : the Lord is his name. Ex. xv : 3.
A mighty fortress is our God :
A bulwark never failing : Our refuge He amid the flood, Of mortal ills prevailing : For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe : „ His craft and power are great * And armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal.
By our own might we naught can do: To trust it were sure losing, For us must fight the Right and True, The Man of God's own choosing.

Dost ask us for His Name? Christ Jesus is the same : The Lord, the God of Hosts : The only God : vain boasts Of others fall before Him.
God's Word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them— abideth. The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through Him who with us sideth. Let goods and kindred go : This mortal life also : The body they may kill : God's truth abideth still : His kingdom is forever.

Guide me to the fold above ; Let me hear Thy gentle voice ; More and more in Thee rejoice ; From Thy fulness grace receive ; Ever in Thy spirit live.

3 Thus, my Saviour, let me be Even here at rest in Thee: And forever in Thee blest, Find Thee my eternal rest. Rest remaineth, oh, how sweet, Home, at last, for weary feet : Peaceful calm for sleepless eyes, Life for death, and songs for sighs.

Ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. John xvi: 20.
i When, in the hour of utmost need, We know not where to look for aid; When days and nights of anxious thought Nor help nor counsel yet have brought;
2 Then this our comfort is alone,
That we may meet before Thy throne, And cry, 0 faithful God, to Thee, For rescue from our misery.
3 We lift to heaven our heart and eye With true contrition's sorest sigh; To all our sins be pity sent,
And soften all our chastisement ;
4 That so, with all our hearts, may we Once more with joy give thanks to Thee, And walk obedient to Thy Word, And now and ever praise the Lord. Dox. ii.

Ye now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice. John xvi : 22.
i Come, ye disconsolate, wheresoe'er ye languish ; Come, at the mercy-seat fervently kneel : Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.
2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,
Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure : Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying : Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot cure.
3 Here see the Bread of Life: see waters flowing
Forth from the throne of God, pure from above : Come to the feast of love: come, ever knowing Earth has no sorrow but Heaven can remove.

1 Lord, on Thee alone I stay me,
Safely hide beneath Thy wing ; Death can neither hurt nor slay me,
Thou dost take away its sting, That I may in Thee have part, Comfort, strengthen, heal my heart, Light, and life, and love bestowing, All from Thy free mercy flowing.
2 Well of life, if Thou art with me,
Springing deep within my heart, Then whatever hour shall try me,
I can feel no deadly smart: If I hide myself in Thee, Not a foe can injure me. He shall overcome who hideth In Thy love, and there abideth.

But still the thought doth tranquillize and heal, All, all is known, 0 Lord, to Thee.

Each sickening fear I ne'er the prize shall win, Each pang from irritation, turmoil, din, All, all are known, 0 Lord, to Thee.
4 Nay, all by Thee is ordered, chosen, planned ; Each drop that fills my daily cup, Thy hand Prescribes for ills none else can understand :
All, all is known, 0 Lord, to Thee.
5 And welcome, precious, can Thy Spirit make My little drop of suffering for Thy sake ! Father, the cup I drink, the path I take,
All, all are known, 0 Lord, to Thee.

Far from my Father's breast, A dark and toilsome road ;

And speed me to my rest. And reach the saints' abode.

will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of. Gen. xxviii: 15.
i 0 let him, whose sorrow No relief can find, Trust in God, and borrow Ease for heart and mind.
2 Where the mourner, weeping,
Sheds the secret tear, God His watch is keeping, Though none else is near.
3 God will never leave thee;
All thy wants He knows, Feels the pains that grieve thee, Sees thy cares and woes.
Raise thine eyes to heaven
When thy spirits quail, When, by tempests driven,
Heart and courage fail. All our woe and sadness,
In this world below, Balance not the gladness
We in heaven shall know. Jesu, Holy Saviour,
In the realms above Crown us with Thy favor,
Fill us with Thy love.
I close my heavy eye,
Saviour, ever near ! I lift my soul on high
Through all the darkness drear; Be Thou my light, I cry,
Saviour, ever dear! I feel Thine arms around,
Saviour, ever near I With Thee let me be found,
So shall I never fear Whatever ill abounds;
Saviour, ever dear I
Thine is the day and night,
Saviour, ever near; Thine is the dark and light,
Be Thou my covert here ; 0 shield me with Thy might,
Saviour, ever dear! And when I come to die,
Saviour, ever near, Receive my parting sigh ;
Then with Thy heavenly cheer Be to my spirit nigh,
Saviour, ever dear!

Come unto me, all ye that labour. Matt, xi : 28.
1 u Come unto Me, ye weary,
And I will give you rest." Oh, blessed voice of Jesus,
Which comes to hearts oppress'd! It tells of benediction,
Of mercy, grace, and peace, Of joy that hath no ending,
Of love which cannot cease.
2 "Come unto Me, dear children,
And I will give you light." Oh, loving voice of Jesus,
Which comes to cheer the night ! Our hearts were fill'd with sadness,
And we had lost our way, But morning brings us gladness,
And songs the break of day.
" Come unto Me, ye fainting,
And I will give you life." Oh, peaceful voice of Jesus,
Which comes to end our strife I The foe is stern and eager,
The fight is fierce and long ; But Thou hast made us mighty,
And stronger than the strong.
"And whosoever cometh,
I will not cast him out." Oh, patient voice of Jesus,
Which drives away our doubt I Which calls us, very sinners,
Unworthy though we be Of love so free and boundless,
To come dear Lord, to Thee.

Lord, thou knowest all. Johnxxi: 17.
Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow Of the sad heart that comes to Thee for rest ;
Cares of to-day, and burdens of to-morrow, Blessings implored, and sins to be confessed ;
We come before Thee at Thy gracious word,
And lay them at Thy feet : Thou knowest, Lord.
Thou knowest all the past : how long and blindly On the dark mountains the lost wanderer strayed ;
How the good Shepherd followed, and how kindly He bore it home, upon His shoulder laid ;
And healed the bleeding wounds, and soothed the pain.
And brought back life, and hope, and strength again.
Thou knowest all the present; each temptation, Each toilsome duty, each foreboding fear;
All to each one assigned of tribulation, Or to beloved ones, than self more dear;
All pensive memories, as we journey on,
Longings for vanished smiles and voices gone.
Thou knowest, not alone as God, all-knowing;
As man, our mortal weakness Thou hast proved : On earth, with purest sympathies o'erflowing,
0 Saviour, Thou hast wept, and Thou hast loved ; And love and sorrow still to Thee may come, And find a hiding-place, a rest, a home.
Therefore we come, Thy gentle call obeying, And lay our sins and sorrows at Thy feet ;
On everlasting strength our weakness staying, We hear Thy Word, we feel its light and heat;
Then rising and refreshed, we go our way
And follow on unto eternal day.

Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John xiv: 27.
i Yes, He knows the way is dreary, Knows the weakness of our frame,
Knows that hand and heart are weary, He in all points felt the same.
He is near to help and bless ;
Be not weary, onward press.
2 Look to Him, the Lord of Glory, Tasting death to win thy life ;
Gazing on that wondrous story, Canst thou falter in the strife?
Is it not new life to know
That the Lord hath loved thee so ?
3 Look to Him, and faith shall brighten, Hope shall soar, and love shall burn,
Peace once more thy heart shall lighten; Rise, He calleth thee, return I
Be not weary on thy way ;

3o2 Faint, yet pursuing. Jud. viii: 4.
1 Though faint, yet pursuing, we go on our way ; The Lord is our Leader, His Word is our stay ; Though suffering, and sorrow, and trial be near, The Lord is our 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 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 !

4 If I ask Him to receive me,
Will He say me nay ? "Not till earth, and not till heaven 5 Pass away."

Rankle in thy breast ? Jesus is the Good Physician ; Come and rest !
Art thou shrinking from the battle,
Impotent confessed ?
Jesus is the only Helper ;
Come and rest !
Hath the fear of death appalled thee,
Hope and joy repressed ? Jesus is of death the Victor ; Come and rest !
Art thou weeping, broken-hearted,
Friends no more possessed ? Jesus ever lives to love us ; Come and rest !
0 ye weary, heavy laden, Howsoe'er distressed, Jesus bids you to His bosom ; Come and rest !

i Lord Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end; Be Thou forever near me, My Master and my Friend 1 AflW I shall not fear the battle, If Thou art by my side, £j£ • Nor wander from the pathway, If Thou wilt be my Guide.
2 0! let me feel Thee near me —
The world is ever near; I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear. My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within ; But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer,
And shield my soul from sin.
Lord Jesus, Thou hast promised
To all who follow Thee, That where Thou art in glory
There shall Thy servant be; And I to Thee have promised
To serve Thee to the end ; 0, give me grace to follow,
My Master and my Friend!
0 let me see Thy foot-prints,
And in them plant mine own; My hope to follow duly
Is in Thy strength alone. 0 guide me, call me, draw me,
Uphold me to the end; And then in heaven receive me,
My Saviour and my Friend.

I wholly followed the Lord my God. Josh, xiv : 8.
i Saviour 1 I follow on !
Guided by Thee, Seeing not yet the hand
That leadeth me; Hushed be my heart and still, Fear I no further ill ; Only to meet Thy will
My will shall be.
2 Riven the rock for me
Thirst to relieve, Manna from heaven falls
Fresh every eve; Never a want severe Causeth my eye a tear, But Thou dost whisper near,
"Only believe I"
Often to Marah's brink
Have I been brought, Shrinking the cup to drink,
Help I have sought ; And with the prayer's ascent, Thou, Lord, the branch hast rent- Quickly relief hast sent,
Sweetening the draught.
Saviour! I long to walk
Closer with Thee; Led by Thy guiding hand,
Ever to be ; Constantly near Thy side, Quickened and purified, Living for Him who died
Freely for me!

Jesus is our Shepherd,
Wiping every tear, Folded in His bosom,
What have we to fear ? Only let us follow
Whither He doth lead, To the thirsty desert,
Or the dewy mead.
Jesus is our Shepherd :
Well we know His voice, How its gentlest whisper
Makes our heart rejoice; Even when it chideth,
Tender is its tone ; Only He shall guide us,
We are His alone.
Jesus is our Shepherd :
Guarded by His arm, Though the wolves may raven,
None can do us harm ; Even death's dark valley,
Now has lost its gloom, We will fear no evil,
Victors o'er the tomb.
Jesus is our Shepherd ;
With His goodness now, And His tender mercy,
He doth us endow; Let us sing His praises
With a gladsome heart, Till in heaven we meet Him,
Never more to part.

OKO He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
John viii : 12.
i Lead, kindly Light I amid the encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on; The night is dark, and I am far from home,
Lead Thou me on; Keep Thou my feet ; I do not ask to see The distant scene ; one step enough for me.
2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on ; I loved to choose and see my path ; but now
Lead Thou me on; I loved the garish day, and spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
3 So long Thy power hath blessed me, sure it still
Will lead me on O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone; And with the morn those angel faces smile Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

i 0 Jesus ever present,
0 Shepherd ever kind! Thy very Name is music
To ear and heart and mind. It woke my wondering childhood
To muse on things above ; ? It drew my harder manhood
With cords of mighty love.
3 How oft to sure destruction My feet had gone astray, Wert Thou not, patient Shepherd, The guardian of my way !
How oft, in darkness fallen, And wounded sore by sin,
Thy hand has gently raised me, And healing balm poured in!
0 Shepherd good ! I follow
Wherever Thou wilt lead ; No matter where the pasture,
With Thee at hand to feed : Thy voice, in life so mighty,
In death shall make me bold ; 0 bring my ransomed spirit
To Thine eternal fold !

Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matt, xi : 28.
i I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto Me and rest ; Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon My breast !" I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary, and worn, and sad ; I found in Him a resting-place,
And He has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Behold, I freely give The living water ; thirsty one, Stoop down, and drink,and live!"
I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream ;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in Him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's light ; Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise,
And all thy day be bright!" I looked to Jesus, and I found
In Him my Star, my Sun ; And in that Light of life I'll walk
Till travelling days are done.

Onward, Christians ! onward go ; Fight the fight, maintain the strife, Strengthened with the Bread of Life.
2 Onward, Christians 1 onward go; Join the war, and face the foe ; Faint not : much doth yet remain ; Dreary is the long campaign.
3 Shrink not, Christians ! will ye yield ? Will ye quit the painful field ?
Will ye flee in danger's hour ? Know ye not your Captain's power ?
4 Let your drooping hearts be glad ; March, in heavenly armour clad : Fight, nor think the battle long, Victory soon shall tune your song.
5 Let not sorrow dim your eye, Soon shall every tear be dry ; Let not fears your course impede, Great your strength, if great your need.

More than conquerors ye shall prove : Though opposed by many a foe, Christian soldiers ! onward go.

i 01 for a heart to praise my God, A heart from sin set free ; A heart that's cleansed by the Word - Which He has given for me.
2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
My dear Redeemer's throne ; Where only Christ is heard to speak, Where Jesus reigns alone.
3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart,
Believing, true, and clean ; Which neither life nor death can part, From Him that dwells within.
4 A heart in every thought renewed,
And filled with love divine ; Perfect, and right, and pure, and good, An image, Lord, of Thine.
5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart,
Come quickly from above ; Write Thy new name upon my heart, Thy new best name of love.

I am with thee. Isa. xliii : 5.
i Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh, When wake the birds, and all the shadows flee ; Fairer than morning, lovelier than the daylight, Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with Thee 1
2 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil to slumber ; Its closing eye looks up to Thee in prayer ; Sweet the repose, beneath Thy wings o'ershading, But sweeter still to wake and feel Thee there.
3 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning,
When the soul waketh, and life's shadows flee ; Oh, in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning, Shall rise the glorious thought, I am with Thee I

The Lord is my shepherd. Ps. xxiii: i.
i The King of love my Shepherd is, Whose goodness faileth never; I nothing lack if I am His And He is mine forever.
2 Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul He leadeth, And, where the verdant pastures grow, With food celestial feedeth.
3 Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
But yet in love He sought me, And on His shoulder gently laid, And home, rejoicing, brought me.
4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill
With Thee, dear Lord, beside me; Thy rod and staff my comfort still, Thy Cross before to guide me.
5 Thou spread' st a table in my sight;
Thy unction grace bestoweth ; And oh, what transport of delight From Thy pure chalice flowetht
6 And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never : Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise Within Thy house forever.

Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. John xx : 29.
i Jesus, these eyes have never seen That radiant form of Thine : The veil of sense hangs dark between Thy blessed face and mine.
2 I see Thee not, I hear Thee not,
Yet art Thou oft with me; And earth hath ne'er so dear a spot, As where I meet with Thee.
3 Like some bright dream that comes unsought,
When slumbers o'er me roll; Thine image ever fills my thought, And charms my ravished soul.
4 Yet, though I have not seen, and still
Must rest in faith alone, I love Thee, dearest Lord, and will, Unseen, but not unknown.
5 When death these mortal eyes shall seal,
And still this throbbing heart, The rending veil shall Thee reveal All glorious as Thou art. Dox. iv.

Nor can the memory find A sweeter sound than Thy blest Name, 0 Saviour of mankind.

Behold the beauty of the Lord. Psjxxvii: 4.
1 0 Jesus, Thou the Beauty art
Of angel-worlds above ; Thy name is music to the heart, Inflaming it with love.
2 Celestial sweetness unalloyed !
Who eat thee, hunger still ; Who drink of Thee still feel a void, Which naught but Thou can fill.
3 0 most sweet Jesus, hear the sighs
Which unto Thee we send ;
To Thee our inmost spirit cries,
To Thee our prayers ascend.
4 Abide with us, and let the light
Shine, Lord, on every heart; Dispel the darkness of our night, And joy to all impart.
5 Jesus, our Love and Joy, to Thee,
The Father, Spirit, Son, All might and praise and glory be While endless ages run.

Then truth begins to shine ; Then earthly vanities depart, Then kindles love divine.

Thou Fount of living fire, Surpassing all the joys we know And all we can desire.

OCJ X I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Ps.
i I love the Lord ; He heard my voice, And owned my humble prayer : He makes my broken heart rejoice: He makes my soul His care.
2 When hosts of foes beset me round,
And threatened to destroy, In Him the wished relief I found; My heart revived with joy.
3 The pains of hell, and fears of death,
Encompassed me around : To Him I cried with faltering breath, And full deliverance found.
4 Long as I live, I'll bless His Name,
And triumph in His Word ; By Him alone salvation came, Who is the mighty Lord.
5 Trust ye the Lord, nor yield to fear;
On His rich love depend: He will preserve you while you're here, And save you to the end. Dox. iv.

Simon, son of Jonas, Lovest thou me? John xxi : 15.
i Hark ! my soul, it is the Lord ; 'Tis thy Saviour, hear His word ; Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee — Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou Me ?
2 I delivered thee when bound,
And when wounded healed thy wound ; Sought thee wandering, set thee right, Turned thy darkness into light.
3 Can a woman's tender care, Cease toward the child she bare ? Yes, she may forgetful be,
Yet will I remember Thee.
4 Mine is an unchanging love, Higher than the heights above, Deeper than the depths beneath, Knowing neither change nor death.
5 Thou shalt see My glory soon, When the work of grace is done; Thou the Father's house shalt see, Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou Me ?
6 Lord, it is my chief complaint, That my love is weak and faint ; Yet I love Thee and adore ;
0 for grace to love Thee more !

peace I give unto you : not as the world giveth, give I unto you. John xiv : 27.
i Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin? The voice of Jesus, whispers peace within.
2 Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed? To do the will of Jesus, this is rest.
3 Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round? On Jesus' bosom nought but calm is found.
4 Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away ? In Jesus' keeping we are safe and they.
5 Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown? Jesus we know, and He is on the throne.
6 Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours? Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers.
7 It is enough : earth's struggles soon shall cease, And Jesus call us to heaven's perfect peace.

will fear no evil : for thou art with me. Ps. xxiii : 4.
i In heavenly love abiding,
No change my heart shall fear, And safe is my confiding,
When He, my strength is near. The storm may roar without me,
My hopes may low be laid, My God is round about me,
I cannot be dismayed.
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 frowning clouds have been ; My hope I cannot measure,
My path to life is free, My Saviour is my treasure,
And He will walk with me.

I rest my weary soul in Thee ; I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be.

I yield my flickering torch to Thee; My heart restores its borrowed ray, That in Thy sunshine's blaze its day May brighter, fairer be.
3 0 Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee ; I trace the rainbow through the rain, And feel the promise is not vain, That morn shall tearless be.

I lay in dust, life's glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red Life that shall endless be.

Beauty and light; So many glorious things are here, Noble and right. 2 We thank Thee too, that Thou hast made Joy to abound ; So many gentle thoughts and deeds Circling us round; That in the darkest spots of earth Some love is found.
3 We thank Thee, too, that all our
joy Is touched with pain ; That shadows fall on brightest hours,
That thorns remain ; So that earth's bliss may be our guide, And not our chain.
4 We thank thee, Lord, that Thou
hast kept
The best in store ; We have enough, yet not too much,
To long for more ; A yearning for a deeper peace
Not known before.
5 We thank Thee, Lord, that here our souls, Though amply blest, Can never find, although they seek,
A perfect rest; Nor ever shall, until they lean Upon Thy breast.

Life from the dead is in that word, At times to faith's foreseeing eye
'Tis immortality. Thy golden gates appear!

Absent from Him I roam, To reach the land I love,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent The bright inheritance of saints,
A day' s march nearer home. Jerusalem above.

And all my prospect flies; Like Noah's dove, I flit between
Rough seas and stormy skies. Anon the clouds depart,

Expands the bow of peace.
I hear at morn and even,
At noon and midnight hour, The choral harmonies of heaven
Earth's Babel-tongues o'erpower. That resurrection word,
That shout of victory, Once more, For ever with the Lord;
Amen, so let it be.

OQK And I John saw the holy city new Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven.
Rev. xxi: 2.
0 Mother dear, Jerusalem !
What joy to come to thee 1 To find my sorrows at an end,
In thy tranquility 1 0 happy harbor of God's saints !
0 sweet and pleasant soil 1 In thee no sorrow can be found,
Nor grief, nor care, nor toil. No murky cloud o'ershadows thee,
Nor gloom, nor darksome night; But every soul shines as the sun :
For God Himself gives light. 0 my sweet home, Jerusalem I
What joy thy gates to see, The King that sitteth on the throne
In His felicity. Thy gardens and thy gallant walks
Continually are green,
Where grow such sweet and pleas- ant flowers As nowhere else are seen. Right through thy streets, with pleasing sound, The living waters flow, And on the banks on either side, The tree of life doth grow.
That tree each month yields ripened fruit,
For ever more it springs ; And every nation of the earth
To thee its honor brings. 0 Mother dear, Jerusalem I
What joy to come to thee I In thee to find my sorrows end,
And Love's eternity.

o\j 4 The city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. Rev. xxi : 18.
i Jerusalem, the golden ! 0 city of the blest ! 0 heavenly land of promise 1 the weary pilgrim's rest; Safe through the thorny journey ; freed from the strife of sin ; Within the walls of jasper ; the pearly gates within.
2 What peace beyond all telling ; what joy, for them whose feet Stand by the crystal river, and walk the golden street ! With boughs of palms, like victors, arrayed in robes of white, With hymns of glad thanksgiving they throng the halls of light.
3 They thirst not, neither hunger, who gain that bright abode, With oil of love anointed ; as kings and priests to God. 0 dear and blessed vision ; the Seer of Patmos tells 1 What glad and hopeful tidings, the prophet's voice reveals.
HEA VEN. 413
4 Behold the Tabernacle of God is now with men :
And He will dwell among them and heal their grief and pain, And he that overcometh shall be the Father's heir, Within the glorious city I and dwell forever there.
OtfO We have a strong city ; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. Isa. xxvi: i.
i Thou City of the angels, thou City of the Lord, Whose everlasting music is e'er in sweet accord ; Jerusalem, exulting on that securest shore, I hope thee, wish thee, sing thee, and love thee evermore.
0 fields that know no sorrow I 0 state that fears no strife I 0 princely bowers, 0 land of flowers, 0 realm and home of life ! There, through the sacred lilies, and flowers on every side, The happy ransomed people go wandering far and wide.
3 0 one, 0 heavenly mansion ! 0 Paradise of joy !
Where tears are ever banished and smiles have no alloy :
With jasper glow thy bulwarks, thy streets with emeralds blaze,
The sardius and the topaz unite in thee their rays.
4 Thou hast no night, fair heaven ; thou hast no time, bright day 1 Dear fountain of refreshment to pilgrims far away 1 Upon the Rock of Ages they raise thy holy tower ; Thine is the victor's laurel, and thine the golden dower.
5 0 sweet and blessed country, the home of God's elect ! 0 sweet and blessed country that eager hearts expect I In mercy, Saviour, bring us to that dear land of rest, Who art our heavenly Father and Saviour ever blest.

i Brief life is here our portion ; Brief sorrow, short-lived care ; The life that knows no ending, The tearless life, is there.
2 0 happy retribution !
Short toil, eternal rest ; For mortals and for sinners A mansion with the blest !
3 And now we fight the battle,
But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting And passionless-renown :
4 And now we watch and struggle,
And now we live in hope, And Zion, in her anguish, With Babylon must cope.
5 For He whom now we trust in,
Shall then be seen and known ;
And they that know and see Him
Shall have Him for their own :
6 With light that hath no darkness,
And health that hath no sore, And life that hath no ending, But lasteth evermore.

The strife and toil away at last ; On whom — so calm their rest and

Amid the hills of Paradise, Where foot of man hath never trod, Proceeding from the throne of God ; 0 give me sickness here, or strife, So I may reach that spring of life. 2 There is a rock that nigh at hand Gives shadow in a weary land.
Who by that stricken rock hath rest, 4 Thou only Good I Thou only Wise 1 Finds waters gushing from its Who dost so lovingly chastise
breast; To give more strength and add more
Here grant me, Lord, my wand' rings grace —

To rest, and drink, and thirst no The more, the more that nature faints,

Torn sails, provisions short, And only not a wreck :

And bare not always well : But he may smile at troubles gone Who sets the victor-garland on !

0 sins, and doubts, and fears ; What matter now this bitter fray? The King has wiped those tears away.

1 Long did I toil, and knew no earthly rest,
Far did I rove, and found no certain home ; At last I sought them in His sheltering breast,
Who opes His arms, and bids the weary come : With Him I found a home, a rest divine, And I since then am His, and He is mine.
2 The good I have is from His stores supplied,
The ill is only what He deems the best; He for my Friend, I'm rich with nought beside,
And poor without Him, though of all possessed : Changes may come, I take, or I resign, Content, while I am His, while He is mine.

Dwell the raptured saints above, This innumerable throng, Far beyond our feeble sight,
Happy in Immanuel's love. Pilgrims in this vale of tears,
Once they knew, like us below, Gloomy doubts, distressing fears,
Torturing pain, and heavy woe.
Round the altar night and day Tuning their triumphant song r
Worthy is the Lamb once slain, Blessing, honor, glory, power,
Wisdom, riches to obtain, New dominion every hour.
Happy spirits, ye are fled 2
Where no grief can entrance find ; Lulled to rest the aching head,
Soothed the anguish of the mind. Every tear is wiped away,
Sighs no more shall heave the breast, Night is lost in endless day,
Sorrow in eternal rest. Dox. vi-
These through fiery trials trod,
These from great affliction came ; Now before the throne of God,
Sealed with His almighty name ; Clad in raiment pure and white,
Victor palms in every hand — Through their dear Redeemer's might,
More than conquerors they stand.

Though he were dead, yet shall he live. John xi : 25.
i Gone I yes, but for a little while, 2 Gone! no, they dwell with us unseen,
The parting and the pain, They share our hopes and fears,
Heaven shall restore the near and dear In our rejoicing they rejoice,
To those they love again. And sorrow in our tears.
Gone, whither we shall follow soon, Unseen, God sets His angels watch,
With them the joys to share, With constant care to keep
Which for His servants here below, The ways His children walk by day,
The Lord hath treasured there. And guard their nightly sleep.
3 Departed, but not dead ; yea, more
Alive than when they dwelt With us on earth in mortal flesh,
And all its weakness felt. They only lose their earthly part,
They gain immortal youth, Who in the fear of God have lived,
And kept His Word of truth.

2 Open, Lord, the crystal fountain
Whence the healing streams do flow; Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Guide me all my journey through : Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer, Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.
3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside ; Bear me through the swelling current,
Land me safe on Canaan's side: Songs of praises, songs of praises I will ever give to Thee.

i Father, to us Thy children, humbly kneeling, Conscious of weakness, ign'rance, sin, and shame, Give such a force of holy thought and feeling, That we may live to glorify Thy name ;
2 That we may conquer base desire and passion, That we may rise from selfish thought and will, O'ercome the world's allurement, threat, and fashion,
Walk humbly, gently, leaning on Thee still.
3 Lord, let Thy goodness by our minds be seen, Tokens of mercy on our souls be sealed :
Lord, if Thou wilt, Thy power can make us clean ; Oh, speak the word, Thy servants shall be healed 1

Whosoever doth not bear his cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple. Luke xiv : 27.
i Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow Thee : Destitute, 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 1
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 man, untrue ; And while Thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends may shun me.
Show Thy face and all is bright.

Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. 0 'tis not in grief to harm me
While Thy love is left to me ; 0 'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with Thee.
4 Take, 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. Soon shall close thy earthly mission,
Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days, Hope soon change to glad fruition,

And make our hearts o'erflow with love; With patience firm, and virtue high, The weakness of our flesh supply.

To Him who merits all my love :
Let cheerful anthems fill the house,
While to His altar now I move.
Firm on the Rock of ages, rest : Here have I found a nobler part, Here heavenly pleasures fill my breast.

Night to day is giving place.
Lo, this angels' food descending Heavenly love is hither sending,
Pilgrim lips on earth to feed. So the paschal lamb was given, So the manna came from heaven,
This the manna is indeed.

They are no more twain, but one flesh. Matt, xix: 6.
How sweet the charm where Love unites
Two kindred souls, to make A heav'n of their terrestrial home, And all the kindly graces come, Their blessings to partake.
There Friendship finds a welcome seat,
And Charity's a guest ; And every day of all the year Brings peace, contentment, and good cheer,
With angels at the feast.

i How blest the sacred tie that binds In union sweet, according minds I How swift the heavenly course they run, Whose hearts, whose faith, whose hopes, are one I
2 To each the soul of each how dear I What jealous love, what holy fear I How does whe generous flame within Refine from earth, and cleanse from sin 1
3 In secret, or within the place Where Jesus shows His glorious face, Their ardent prayers together rise, Like mingling flames in sacrifice.
4 They range the intellectual fields,
And taste the joys that wisdom yields ; And, while engaged in sweet discourse, Together rise to wisdom's Source.
5 Age shall not cool the sacred fire, Nor shall the flame with death expire, But brighter burn in heaven above ; A heaven of joy, because of love.

Of tender charity and steadfast faith, Of patient hope, and quiet, brave endurance,

i Blessed city, heavenly Salem, Vision dear of peace and love,
Who of living stones art builded In the height of heaven above,
And, with angel hosts encircled, As a bride to earth dost move.
2 From celestial realms descending,
Bridal glory round thee shed, Meet for Him whose love espoused thee,
To thy Lord shalt thou be led ; All thy streets and all thy bulwarks
Of pure gold are fashioned.
3 Come Thou now, and be among us,
Lord and Maker, while we pray ; Let Thy presence fill the temple
Which we dedicate to-day, And Thyself, its consecrator, Dwell within its walls alway.
Grant that all Thy faithful people May Thy truer temple be ;
Neither flesh, nor soul, nor spirit, Know another Lord than Thee ;
But to Thee once dedicated, Serve Thee everlastingly.

Well may Thy praise our lips employ, While in Thy temple we appear : Thy goodness crowns the circling year.
2 The flow'ry Spring, at Thy command, Embalms the air and paints the land : And summer's rays with vigor shine, To raise the corn, and cheer the vine.
3 Thy hand, in Autumn, richly pours, Through all our coasts, redundant stores : E'en Winter, softened by Thy care,
A face of horror cannot wear.

Our grateful homage shall be paid,
With opening light, and evening shade. Dox. ii

2 Our native land in mercy view!
From heaven, 0 Lord, look down ! Thy kingdom in each heart erect 1 Maintain Thy rightful crown I
3 On people and on ruler let
Thy blessing, Lord, be shed ; To God and country true, may we In wisdom's paths be led.
4 As Thee, their God our fathers owned,
So Thou art still our King : Thou only canst our peace maintain, Or our deliverance bring.
5 To Thee all glory we ascribe, From whom salvation came ; In God, our shield, we will rejoice. And ever bless Thy Name.

Thou crownest the year with thy goodness. Ps. lxv : ii.
i At Thy feet, our God and Father,
Who hast blest us all our days We with grateful hearts would gather,
And begin the year with praise — Praise for light so brightly shining
On our steps from heaven above ; Praise for mercies daily twining
Round us golden cords of love.
2 Jesus, for Thy love most tender
Here on earth for sinners shown, We would praise Thee and surrender
All our hearts to be Thine own. With Thy Word's true Light provided,
We upon our way will go, Sure of being safely guided,
Guarded well from every foe.
3 Every day will be the brighter,
WTien Thy gracious face we see ; Every burden will be lighter,
When we know it comes from Thee. Spread Thy love's broad banner o'er us,
Give us strength to serve and wait, Till Thy glory breaks before us,
Through the City's open gate. Dox. viii.
The Lord hath done great things for us ; whereof we are glad. Ps. cxxvi : 3.
i From glory unto glory ! Be this our joyous song ;
As on the King's own highway, we bravely march along.
From glory unto glory ! 0 worn of stirring cheer,
As dawns the solemn brightness of another glad New Year.
2 From glory unto glory ! What great things He hath done, What wonders He hath shown us, what triumphs He hath won ! From glory unto glory ! What mighty blessings crown
The lives for which our Lord hath laid His own so freely down !
3 The fulness of His blessing encompasseth our way ;
The fulness of His promises crowns every brightening day ;
The fulness of His glory is beaming from above,
While more and more we learn to know the fulness of His love.
4 And closer yet and closer the golden bonds shall be, Uniting all who love our Lord in pure sincerity ; And wider yet and wider shall the circling glory glow, As more and more are taught of God that mighty love to know.

4.C A No man having put his hand to the plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God. *OV Luke ix : 62.
Saviour, blessed Saviour,
Listen while we sing, Hearts and voices raising
Praises to our King. All we have, we offer,
All we hope to be, Body, soul, and spirit,
All we yield to Thee. Nearer, ever nearer,
Lord, we draw to Thee, Deep in adoration
Bending low the knee : Thou for our redemption
Cam' st on earth to die: Thou, that we might follow,
Hast gone up on high. Great and ever greater
Are Thy mercies here, True and everlasting
Are the glories there.
Where no pain or sorrow,
Toil, nor care is known, Where the angel-legions
Circle round Thy Throne. Brighter still and brighter
Glows the western sun, Shedding all its gladness
O'er our work that's done ; Time will soon be over,
Toil and sorrows past, May we blessed Saviour,
Find a rest at last. Onward, ever onward,
Journeying o'er the road Worn by saints before us,
Journeying on to God : Leaving all behind us,
May we hasten on, Backward never looking
Till the prize is won.

At our army's head ; Who shall dream of shrinking,
By Jehovah led ? Forward through the desert,
Through the toil and fight Jordan flows before us, Zion beams with light.

By the souls that love Him One day to be shared :

Shedding joys untold. Thither, onward thither,

One, the earnest looking forward, One, the hope our God inspires.
One, the strain the lips of thousands
Lift as from the heart of one ; One the conflict, one. the peril,
One, the march in God begun : One, the gladness of rejoicing
On the far eternal shore, Where the. One, Almighty Father

That His arm had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen His kind look when He said, Let the little ones come unto Me.
3 Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go,
And ask for a share in His love ; And if I thus earnestly seek Him below, I shall see Him and hear Him above —
4 In that beautiful place He has gone to prepare For all the redeemed and forgiven ; And many dear children shall be with Him there, For of such is the kingdom of heaven.

4: «7 J. Let the weak say, I am strong. Joel iii : io.
i We are but little children weak, Nor born in any high estate; What can we do for Jesus' sake,
Who is so high and good and great?
2 When deep within our swelling hearts
The thoughts of pride and anger rise, When bitter words are on our tongues And tears of passion in our eyes ;
3 Then we may stay the angry blow',
Then we may check the hasty word, Give gentle answers back again, And fight a battle for our Lord.
4 With smiles of peace, and looks of love,
Light in our dwellings we may make, Bid kind good-humor brighten there, And do all still for Jesus' sake.
5 There's not a child so small and weak
But has his little cross to take, His little work of love and praise That he may do for Jesus' sake.

When, His salvation bringing,
To Zion Jesus came, The children all stood singing 11 Hosanna " to His Name : \ Nor did their zeal offend Him, But, as He rode along, || : He let them still attend Him, \ And smiled to hear their song.

Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord. Deut. vi : 4
i To God, the Father, Spirit, Son, In soul and mind and person one, Be glory, praise, and service given, By all on earth and all in heaven. Jesus, our Lord, we praise in Thee The ever-blessed Trinity; And while before Thy throne we fall, We own Thee God and Lord of all.
2 In childhood's blissful days descend, Inspire us for our being's end; And when our outward nature dies, Own us Thy children in the skies. To Thee our morning song of praise, To Thee our evening prayer we raise : Thy glory, suppliant, we adore Forever and for evermore.

i Saw you never, in the twilight, 2 Heard you never of the story
When the sun had left the skies, Up in heaven the clear stars shining Through the gloom, like silver eyes? So of old the wise men, watching,
Saw a little stranger star, And they knew the King was given, And they followed it from far.

How they crossed the desert wild, Journeyed on by plain and mountain, Till they found the holy Child? How they opened all their treasure, Kneeling to that Infant King ; Gave the gold and fragrant incense, Gave the myrrh in offering?

Suffer the little children to come unto me. ( June 498, using slurs )
Luke xviii : 16
I love to hear the story
Which angel voices tell, How once the King of glory
Came down on earth to dwell. I am both weak and sinful,
But this I surely know, The Lord come down to save me,
Because He loved me so.
I'm glad my blessed Saviour Was once a child like me,
So gentle and obedient As we should also be.
And if I try to follow His footsteps here below,
He never will forsake me, Because He loves me so.
To tell His love and mercy
My sweetest songs I'll raise; And though I cannot see Him,
I know He hears my praise ; For He Himself has promised
That even I may go To sing among His angels,
Because He loves me so.

They found him in the temple. Luke li: 46.
By cool Siloam's shady rill
How fair the lily grows ! How sweet the breath, beneath the hill,
Of Sharon's dewy rose 1
Lo 1 such the child, whose early feet
The paths of peace have trod, Whose secret heart, with influence sweet,
Is upward drawn to God.
By cool Siloam's shady rill
The lily must decay ; The rose that blooms beneath the hill
Must shortly fade away.
And soon, too soon, the wintry hour
Of man's maturer age Will shake the soul with sorrow's power,
And stormy passion's rage.
0 Thou, whose infant feet were found
Within Thy Father's shrine, Whose years, with growing virtue crowned,
Were filled with life divine :
Dependent on Thy bounteous breath,
We seek Thy grace alone, In childhood, manhood, age and death,
To keep us still Thine own.

Where in Thy house Thou art, Or watches at Thy gates 1

The heavenly Babe you there shall find To human view displayed, All meanly wrapped in swathing bands, And in a manger laid."
Thus spake the angel ; and forth- with
Appeared a shining throng Of angels, praising God, and thus
Address'd their joyful song : " All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace; Good-will henceforth from heaven to men

i Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for His bed ; Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ, that little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall; With the poor, the mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 And, thro* all His wondrous child-
hood, He would honor and obey, Love and watch the lowly maiden , In whose gentle arms He lay ;
Unto us a child is born. Isa. ix : 6.
Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as He.
4 For He is our childhood's pattern, Day by day like us He grew,
He was little, weak, and helpless, Tears and smiles like us He knew; And He feeleth for our sadness, And He shareth in our gladness.
5 And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming
love, For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in Heaven above ; And He leads His children on To the place where He is gone.

For lowly and poor was He, Whose throne is the splendors of heav'n,
Whose pow'r is infinity ; And He bore His cross to save us,
To save us from death and sin, And He trod all alone the wine- press,
To make us pure and clean.

'Twas by an angel unto them That night revealed and told. Glad tidings, etc.

The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light. Is. ix 2.
i All this night bright angels sing ; Never was such caroling. Hark ! a voice which loudly cries : " Mortals, mortals, wake and rise. Lol to gladness Turns your sadness, From the earth is ris'n a Sun, Shines all night, though day be done.
2 Wake, 0 earth, wake, everything 1 Wake, and hear the joy I bring ; Wake and joy, for all this night Heaven and every twinkling light, All amazing, Still stand gazing: Angels, powers, and all that be, Wake and joy this Sun to see ! ' '
Hail! 0 Sun, 0 blessed Light! Sent into this world by night: Let Thy rays and heavenly pow'rs Shine in these dark souls of ours.
For most duly,
Thou art truly God and man we do confess — Hail, 0 Sun of righteousness !

i All my heart this night rejoices, As I hear, Farand near, Sweetest angel voices ; "Christ is born," their choirs are singing,
TiU the air 4
Everywhere Now with joy is ringing.
2 Hark, a voice from yonder manger,
Soft and sweet,
Doth entreat, uFlee from woe and danger; Brethren, come; from all that grieves you
You are freed ; 5
All you need I will surely give you."
3 Come, then, let us hasten yonder
Here let all, Great and small, Kneel in awe and wonder ;
Love Him who with love is yearn- ing ;
Hail the Star
That from far Bright with hope is burning.
Ye who pine in weary sadness,
Weep no more,
For the door Now is found of gladness : Cling to Him, for He will guide you
Where no cross,
Pain or loss, Can again betide you.
Heedfully my Lord m cherish,
Live to Thee,
And with Thee Dying, shall not perish; But shall dwell with Thee forever,
Far on high,
In the joy That can alter never

They presented unto him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. Matt, ii : u.
Waken, Christian children,
Up, and let us sing, With glad hearts and voices,
Of our newborn King. Up I 'tis meet to welcome
With a joyous lay Christ, the King of Glory,
Born for us to-day.
In a manger lowly
Sleeps the heavenly Child, O'er Him fondly bendeth
Mary, Mother mild. Far above that stable,
Up in heaven so high, One bright star outshineth.
Watching silently.
Fear not, then, to enter,
Though we cannot bring Gold, or myrrh, or incense,
Fitting for a King. Gifts He asketh richer,
Offerings costlier still, Yet may Christian children
Bring them if they will.
Brighter than all jewels
Shines the modest eye ; Best of gifts, He loveth
Infant purity. Haste we, then, to welcome
With a joyous lay Christ, the King of Glory,
Porn for us to-day.

Q&G And thou, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah. Matt, ii : 6.
i 0 little town of Bethlehem I
How still we see thee lie, Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
The silent stars go by. Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light ; The hopes and fears of all the years || : Are met in thee to-night. :||
2 For Christ is born of Mary,
And, gathered all above, While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love. 0 morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth ! And praises sing to God the King, || : And peace to men on earth. :||
3 How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given, So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him stillj || : The dear Christ enters in. :||
4 0 holy child of Bethlehem t
Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sins and enter in,
Be born in us to-day. We hear the Christmas angels
The great, glad tidings tell ; 0 come to us, abide with us, II: Our Lord Emmanuel 1 :||

Glory to God in the highest. Luke ii: 14.
i Clear upon the night-air sounding,
Sweetly echoing o'er the plain, Fell the angel-voice, announcing,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem.'* Clearer, sweeter, swelled the chorus,
From the angel host around, "Glory, glory in the highest,
And on earth good will abound.' * As the angels sang we sing,
Glory to the new-born King, And our song we'll never cease, II : Glory to the Prince of Peace I : ||
Prophets told the wondrous story
Of the future King and Lord; Who from upper realms of glory
Should descend, our Light and Word. But they knew not all His brightness
Nor the fulness of His grace, — Could not join the heavenly chorus,
Nor the song of triumph raise. As the angels sang we sing,
Glory to our God and King, And our song we'll never cease, ||: Glory to the Prince of Peace 1 : ||

Q^O Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea. Matt, ii : i.
i Come, children, with singing,
With sweet voices ringing, Come kneel to the Babe that in Bethlehem lies,
While angels a-choir,
With pinions of fire, Are filling with music the list'ning skies,
2 Repeat the dear story
How, veiling His glory, The Hope of the Ages came down to the earth,
Oh, worship Him lowly,
The lofty and holy ! Our Star of the Morning shone out at His birth.
3 See Mary enfold Him,
While shepherds behold Him,
And sages are bent at His beautiful feet. Come, haste to adore Him, And, bowing before Him,
The Lord who redeems you in reverence greet.
4 This wonderful Stranger,
His couch is a manger, His cradle is made with the cattle in stall;
Yet God of creation,
In blest incarnation, He stoops to our nature to ransom us all.
5 Rock, bells, in the steeple,
Shout loudly, good people, And, children, oh, merrily, merrily sing!
O'er land and o'er ocean,
With joyful commotion, Send forth the glad tidings that Jesus is King !

i Come, children, raise your voices I The King of Love Comes from above, The heavenly host rejoices.
2 The Babe lies in the manger ;
God seeks His own, By angels known But unto men a stranger.
3 Though weak and helpless lying,
From Him is given Through earth and heaven New life, and peace undying.
4 But who on earth do greet Him ?
A shepherd band With staff in hand Sets forth by night to meet Him.
5 And lo 1 from eastward riding
The wise men three ; The star they see, And follow it confiding.

May we find grace To claim our place Where shepherds kneel and sages.

He will swallow up death in victory. Isa. xxv : 8.
i *« Welcome, happy morning 1" age to age shall say : Hell to-day is vanquished ; heaven is won to-day ; Lo! the Dead is living, God forevermore 1 Him their true Creator all His works adore. " Welcome, happy morning," age to age shall say.
2 Earth with joy confesses, clothing her for spring, All good gifts returned with her returning King; Bloom in every meadow, leaves on every bough, Speak His sorrow ended, hail His triumph now. Hell to-day is vanquished, heaven is won to-day.
3 Months in due succession, days of lengthening light, Hours and passing moments praise Thee in their flight ; Brightness of the morning, sky, and fields, and sea, Vanquisher of darkness, bring their praise to Thee.
* 'Welcome, happy morning," age to age shall say.
4 Maker and Redeemer, life and health of all, Thou from heaven beholding human nature's fall, Able to restore us, Thou the only One, Manhood to deliver, manhood didst put on.
Hell to-day is vanquished ; heaven is won to-day.
5 Loose the souls long prisoned, bound with Satan's chain ; AH that now is fallen raise to life again ;
Show Thy face in brightness, bid the nations see ; Bring again our daylight : day returns with Thee. 11 Welcome, happy morning," age to age shall say.

The Lord is risen indeed. Luke xxiv : 34.
Let the whole creation sing Joyous carols to our King ; Your voices raise In songs of praise
On this glad day. All praise to Him is given, For the hope He gives of heav'n, For life and love that come to us This Easter morn. Gone the night I The world is filled with light, For He hath risen indeed,
And we no more shall mourn. He rose, He rose, In triumph o'er our foes, For us the Lord of life arose
This Easter morn. (D.c. first ten lines.)
Now a nobler song of love Let us sing to Him above Whose gladsome light Dispels the night
On this glad day. Let every heart and voice In this happy hour rejoice, The earth now stirs with gladness;
Death is no more King. Gone the night ! etc.

When Thomas first the tidings heard, He doubted if it were the Lord, Until he came and spake this word :
Alleluia 1

f>t>4: He hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder. Ps. cvii *Ni6.
i Lift your glad voices in triumph on high, For Jesus hath risen, and man shall not die, Vain were the terrors that gathered around Him,
And vain the dominion of death and the grave ; He burst from the fetters of darkness that bound Him,
Resplendent in glory to live and to save.
Retrain, Loud lift your voices in triumph on high
For Jesus hath risen, and man shall not die.
2 Glory to God in full anthems of joy;
The being He gave us death cannot destroy. Sad were the life we must part with tomorrow,
If tears were our birth-right and death were our end. But Jesus hath cheered the dark valley of sorrow, And bade us, immortal, to heaven ascend. Refrain. Loud lift, etc.

And I beheld many angels. Rev. v : n.
i Ten thousand times ten thousand
In sparkling raiment bright, The armies of the ransomed saints
Throng up the steeps of light : 'Tis finished, all is finished,
Their fight with death and sin : Fling open wide the golden gates,
And let the victors in.
2 What rush of alleluias
Fills all the earth and sky; What ringing of a thousand harps
Bespeaks the triumph nigh. 0 day, for which Creation
And all its tribes were made ; 0 joy, for all our former woes A thousand fold repaid.
3 0 then what raptured greetings On heaven's happy shore ; What knitting severed friendships

In my Father's house are many mansions. John xiv: a.
i As, when the weary traveller gains
The height of some commanding hill, His heart revives, if o'er the plains He sees his home, though distant still ;
2 Thus when the Christian pilgrim views By faith his mansion in the skies, The sight his fainting strength renews, And wings his speed to reach the prize.
3 The thought of home his spirit cheers ; No more he grieves for troubles past ; Nor any future trial fears So he may safe arrive at last.

i When through the torn sail the wild tempest is streaming, When o'er the dark wave the red lightning is gleaming, Nor hope lends a ray the poor seaman to cherish, We fly to our Saviour : — "Save, Lord, or we perish."
2 0 Jesus, once rocked on the breast of the billow, Aroused by the shriek of despair from Thy pillow, Now seated in glory, the mariner cherish, Who cries in his anguish, "Save, Lord, or we perish."

In my Father's house are many mansions. John xiv : a.
i Thou Lord, who here hast made my life so pleasant, Leave not its tenant when its walls decay ;
0 Love divine, 0 Helper ever present, Be Thou my strength and stay!
2 Be near me when all else is from me drifting,
Earth, sky, home's picture, days of shade and shine, And kindly faces to my own uplifting The love which answers mine.
3 I have but Thee, 0 Father! Let Thy Spirit
Be with me then to comfort and uphold ; No gate of pearl, no branch of palm, I merit, Nor street of shining gold.
4 Suffice it if, my good and ill unreckoned,
And all forgiven through Thy abounding grace,
1 find myself by hands familiar beckoned
Unto my fitting place.
5 Some humble door among Thy many mansions,
Some sheltering shade where sin and striving cease \ And flows forever through heaven's green expansions The river of Thy peace.
6 There from the music round about me stealing,
I fain would learn the new and holy song, And find at last, beneath Thy trees of healing, The life for which I long.

What within me and without
Hourly on my spirit weighs, Burdening heart and soul with doubt,
Darkening all my weary days.
In it I behold Thy will,
God, who givest rest and peace ; And my heart is calm and still,
Waiting till Thou send release.
Yea, on Thee, my God, I rest,
Letting life float calmly on, For I know the last is best,
When the crown of joy is won.
In Thy might all things I bear, In Thy love find bitter sweet,
And, with all my grief and care, Sit in patience at Thy feet.
Let Thy mercy's wings be spread O'er me — keep me close to Thee ;
In the peace Thy love doth shed Let me dwell eternally.
Be my all ; in all I do,
Let me only seek Thy will ; Where the heart to Thee is true,
All is peaceful, calm, and still. Dox. vi.

We long to track the footprints That Thou Thyself hast trod ;
We long to see the pathway That leads to Thee our God.

Incline Thy gracious ear to me, And leave me not forsaken,
For who that feels the power within,
Of past remorse and present sin, Can stand, 0 Lord, before
Thee? A
On Thee alone my stay I place,
All human help rejecting, Relying on Thy sovereign grace,
Thy sovereign aid expecting. I rest upon Thy sacred word: Thou wilt repel him not, 0 Lord,
Who to Thy mercy fleeth.
And though I travail all the night,
And travail all the morrow, My trust is in Jehovah's might,
My triumph in my sorrow ; Forgetting not that Thou of old
Did'st Israel, though weak, up- hold,
When weakest then most loving. What tho' my sinfulness be great,
Redeeming love is greater ; What though all hell should lie in wait,
Supreme is my Creator ; And He my rock and fortress is, And when most helpless, most I'm His,

Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. Habakkukii: 2.
i There is a book, who runs 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, 6
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 7 and small In peace and order move.
4 The moon above, the Church below,
A wondrous race they run ; 8 But all their radiance, all their glow, Each borrows of its sun.
5 The Saviour lends the light and
heat
That crown His holy hill : The saints, like stars, around His seat Perform their courses still.
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.
One Name above all glorious names, With its ten thousand tongues,
The everlasting sea proclaims, Echoing angelic songs.
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.

" Lord, Thou hast here Thy ninety and nine ;
Are they not enough for Thee?" But the Shepherd made answer: " This of mine

He bowed the heavens also and came down 2 Sam. xxii: 10.
i Holy Love, from heav'n descended,
Let us feel Thy kindling flame I
Thou hast earth and heaven blended,
Love, that out of heaven came.
Thou hast thrown a smile of beauty
Over meadow, hill and grove, Thou hast quickened us to duty, Thou hast warmed our hearts to love.
2 Holy Love, from heaven descended, Let us feel Thy kindling flame ! Thou hast earth and heaven blended, Love that out of heaven came.
Thine the gift of smiling flowers, Thine the lofty mountain pine ;
Thine the fruit-tree's golden shower, Thine the close entwining vine.
Stay Thou with us, and replenish
Still our hearts with warmest love; Discord and dissension banish,
Loving Spirit from above. Holy Love, from heaven descended,
Let us feer Thy kindling flame I Thou hast earth and heaven blended,
Love that ouKof heaven came.

had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Ps. xxvii : 13.
Father ! in Thy mysterious presence kneeling, Fain would our souls receive Thy kindling love;
For we are weak, and need some deep revealing Of trust, and strength, and calmness from above.
2 Lord ! we have wandered forth through doubt and sorrow, And Thou hast made each step an onward one ; And we will trust in each unknown to-morrow Thou wilt sustain us till its work is done.
3 In the heart's depths, a peace serene and holy
Lingers; and when pain seems to have her will, Or we despair, ohl may that peace rise slowly, Stronger than agony, and we be still.
4 Now, Father ! now in Thine own presence kneeling, Our spirits yearn to feel Thy kindling love ; 0 make us strong ; we need Thy deep revealing Of trust, and strength, and calmness from above.

Only be thou strong and very courageous. Josh, i : 7.
i Father, hear the prayer we offer ; Not for ease that prayer shall be ; But for strength that we may ever Live our lives courageously.
2 Not for ever in green pastures
Do we ask our way to be ; But the steep and rugged pathway May we tread rejoicingly.
3 Not for ever by still waters
Would we idly rest and stay ; But would smite the living fountains From the rocks along our way.
4 Be our strength in hours of weakness, Inour wanderings be our Guide ; Through endeavor, failure, danger,
Father, be Thou at our side. Dox. ix.

I trust in the mercy of God forever. Ps. Hi : 8.
i From every stormy wind that blows, From every swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat ; 'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat.
2 There is a place where Jesus sheds
The oil of gladness on our heads ; A place than all beside more sweet ; It is the cleansing mercy-seat.
3 There is a spot where spirits blend,
Where friend holds fellowship with friend ; Though sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy-seat.
4 There, there, on eagles' wings we soar, And time and sense seem all no more ; And heaven comes down, our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy-seat,

Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee ; that it may be displayed because of thy truth. Ps. lx : 4.
i Fling out the banner ! let it float
Skyward and seaward, high and wide, — The sun that lights its shining folds, The Cross on which the Saviour died.
2 Fling out the banner I heathen lands
Shall see from far the glorious sight, And nations, crowding to be born, Baptize their spirits in its light.
3 Fling out the banner ! sin-sick souls
That sink and perish in the strife, Shall touch in faith its radiant hem, And spring immortal into life.
4 Fling out the banner I wide and high, Seaward and skyward let it shine ; Nor skill, nor might, nor merit ours : We conquer only in that sign.

Those hours of toil and danger. For, oh I we stand on Jordan's strand ;
Our friends are passing over; And, just before, the shining shore

i Out on an ocean all boundless we ride :
We're homeward bound. Tossed on the waves of a rough, restless tide,
We're homeward bound. Far from the safe, quiet harbor we rode, Seeking our Father's celestial abode, Promise of which on us each He bestowed :
We're homeward bound.
2 Wildly the storm sweeps us on as it roars :
We're homeward bound. Look! yonder lie the bright heavenly shores :
We're homeward bound. Steady, 0 pilot I stand firm at the wheel ; Steady, we soon shall outweather the gale ; Oh, how we fly 'neath the loud-creaking sail i
We're homeward bound !
3 Into the harbor of heaven now we glide :
We're home at last. Softly we drift on its bright silver tide :
We're home at last. Glory to God! all our dangers are o'er ; We stand secure on the glorified shore.
Glory to God ! we will shout evermore : We're home at last.

To him shatt thou cleave. Deut. x : 20.
1 As helpless as a child who clings
Fast to his father's arm, And casts his weakness on the strength
That keeps him safe from harm ; So I, my Father, cling to Thee,
And, every passing hour, Would link my earthly feebleness
To Thine Almighty power.
2 As trustful as a child who looks
Up in his mother's face, And all his little griefs and fears
Forgets in her embrace; So I to Thee, my Saviour, look,
And in Thy face Divine, Can read the love that will sustain As weak a faith as mine.
3 As loving as a child who sits Close by his parent's knee, And knows no want while it can have That sweet society; So, sitting at Thy feet, my heart
"Would all its love outpour, And pray that Thou wouldst teach me, Lord, To love Thee more and more.

C /* Q There arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves. «*"«/ Matt, viii: 24.
With Thee my soul securely rests
From evil's blight restored ; And isles of green and fragrant
2 0 as Thou didst on Galilee The waters calm at will, When torrents raised by evil breath The sinking ship did fill: So now in my storm-shaken soul
Awake with strength divine, 4 No hand but Thine can safely And whisper 'peace' to warring guide
winds The wearied mariner ;
And let Thy glory shine.
Bring peace and sweet reward.
3 Be Thou my pilot through the mists And storms that darkly rise, As o'er life's vast and dangerous sea My frail bark lightly flies.
No love but Thine can solace bring,— 0 Christ, dear Comforter ! Now trusting in Thy tender care
We fear no dark unrest, — Life's storms are passed ; our troubled souls Lie pillowed on Thy breast.

In my Father's house are many mansions. John xiv ■ i.
0 I love to talk with Jesus,
For it smooths the rugged road ; And it seems to help me onward,
When I faint beneath my load ; When my heart is crushed with sorrow,
And my eyes with tears are dim, There is nought can yield me comfort
Like a little talk with Him.
Oft I tell Him I am weary,
And I fain would be at rest ; That I'm daily, hourly, longing
To repose upon His breast ; And He answers me so kindly,
In the tend 'rest tones of love, 4 'I am coming soon to take thee
To thy happy home above. ' '
Though the way seems lon^ and dreary
To that heavenly,blissful clime, Yet I know that my Redeemer
Journeys with me all the time ; And the morel come to know Him,
And His wondrous grace explore, How my longing groweth stronger
Still to know Him more and more.
So I'll wait a little longer,
Till my Lord's appointed time, And along the upward pathway
Still my pilgrim feet shall climb ; Soon within my Father's dwelling,
Where the many mansions be, I shall see my blessed Saviour,
And He then will talk with me.

He is willing: doubt no more. Come, ye needy, come and welcome;
God's free bounty glorify ; True belief and true repentance,
Every grace that brings you nigh, Without money, ( 3 times)
Come to Jesus Christ and buy.
Bruised and mangled by your fall; If you tarry till you're tetter You will never come at all ;
Not the righteous ( 3 times') Sinners, Jesus came to call. 4 Lo, the incarnate God ascended Feeds you with immortal food ; Ventun 01 Him, venture wholly, L?t no other trust intrude. Non± but Jesus ( 3 times) Can do helpless sinners good.

He bringeth them unto their desired haven. Ps. cvii : 30.
i Jesus, Saviour, pilot me Over life's tempestuous sea; Unknown waves before me roll, Hiding rock, and treach'rous shoal ; Chart and compass came from Thee : Jesus, Saviour, pilot me.
2 As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild ; Boisterous waves obey Thy will
Be
When Thou say'st to them,
still!" Wondrous Sovereign of the sea, Jesus, Saviour, pilot me.
3 When at last I near the shore, And the fearful breakers roar 'Twixt me and the peaceful rest, Then, while leaning on Thy breast, May I hear Thee say to me, "Fear not, I will pilot thee!"

At the hour of prayer. Acts iii : i.
i Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour 2
of prayer, That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne Make all my wants and wishes
known ! In seasons of distress and grief My soul has often found relief, And oft escaped the tempter's
snare, By thy return, sweet hour of
prayer.
Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour
of prayer, Thy wings shall my petition bear To Him whose truth and faithful- ness Engage the waiting soul to bless. And since He bids me seek His face, Believe His Word and trust His
grace, I'll cast on Him my every care, And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.

i Fairest of all the lights above !
Thou sun, whose beams adorn the spheres, And with unwearied swiftness move
To form the circles of our years. Praise the Creator of the skies,
That dressed thine orb in golden rays ; Or may the sun forget to rise,
If he forget his Maker's praise.
2 Thou reigning beauty of the night,
Fair queen of silence, silver moon, Whose gentle beams and borrowed light
Are softer rivals of the noon; Arise, and to that sovereign power
Waxing and waning honors pay, Who bade thee rule the dusky hour,
And half supply the absent day.

Ye twinkling stars, who gild the skies
When darkness has its curtains drawn, Who keep your watch, with wakeful eyes
When business, cares, and day are gone; Proclaim the glories of your Lord,
Dispersed through all the earthly street, Whose boundless treasures can afford
So rich a pavement for His feet.
Thou heaven of heavens, supremely bright,
Praise thou thy great Inhabitant, Who scatters gracious beams of light
On every angel, every saint. 0 God of glory, God of love I
Thou art the sun that makes our days ; With all Thy shining works above,
Let earth and dust attempt Thy praise !

Thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the Lord thy God hath given unto thee. Deut. xxvi: ii.
Summer suns are glowing
Over land and sea, Happy light is flowing
Bountiful and free. Every thing rejoices
In the mellow rays, All earth's thousand voices
Swell the psalm of praise.
God's free mercy streameth
Over all the world, And His banner gleameth
Everywhere unfurled. Broad and deep and glorious
As the heaven above, Shines in might victorious
His eternal Love.
Lord, upon our blindness
Thy pure radiance pour; For Thy loving-kindness
Make us love Thee more. And when clouds are drifting
Dark across our sky, Then, the veil uplifting,
Father, be Thou nigh.
We will never doubt Thee,
Though Thou veil Thy light ; Life is dark without Thee;
Death with Thee is bright. Light of Light ! shine o'er us
On our pilgrim way, Go Thou still before us
To the endless day.

will love thee, O Lord, my strength. Ps. xviii : t.
i King of glory, King of peace,
I will love Thee ; And that love may never cease,
I will move Thee. Thou hast granted my request,
Thou hast heard me ; Thou didst note my working breast,
Thou hast spared me.
2 Wherefore with my utmost art I will sing Thee, And the cream of all my heart I will bring Thee.
Though my sins against me cried, Thou didst clear me ;
And alone, when they replied, Thou didst hear me.
3 Seven whole days, not one in seven,
I will praise Thee ; In my heart, though not in heaven,
I can raise Thee, Small it is, in this poor sort
To enrol Thee : E'en eternity's too short
To extol Thee. JfiW

Watchman, what of the night ? Isa. xxi
i Watchman, tell us of the night, —
What its signs of promise are ;
"Traveller, o'er yon mountain's
height,
See that glory-beaming star ? "
Watchman, does its beauteous ray
Aught of hope or joy foretell? "Traveller, yes; it brings the day, — Promised day of Israel.' '
2 Watchman, tell us of the night : Higher yet that star ascends. "Traveller, blessedness and light, Peace and truth, its course por- tends." Watchman, will its beams alone
Gild the spot that gave them birth? "Traveller, ages are its own: See ! it bursts o'er all the earth. ' \
3 Watchman, tell us of the night ; For the morning seems to dawn. "Traveller, darkness takes its flight, Doubt and terror are with- drawn." Watchman, let thy wandering cease : Hie thee to thy quiet home. "Traveller, lo! the Prince of Peace, Lol the Saviour God, is come."

Fear thou not ; for I am with thee : be not dismayed; for I am thy God. Isa. xli: 10.
1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His excellent word! What more can He say than to you He hath said, You who unto Jesus for refuge have fled ?
2 Fear not, I am with thee ; oh, be not dismayed ! I, I am thy God, and will still give thee aid ;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow;
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4 When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply ; The flame shalt not hurt thee ; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
5 The soul that to Jesus hath fled for repose, I will not, I will not desert to His foes ;
That soul, though all hell shall endeavor to shake, J'U never, no, never, no, never forsake,

The Benedictus. [Lukei: 68.]
( After the New Testament lesson in the morning service.)
Blessed be the Lord God' of I Isra- I el :
For He hath visited' | and re- I deemed • His | people, And hath raised up an horn' of sal- | vation | for us,
In' the | house ■ of His I servant | David.
As He spake by the mouth' of His | holy I prophets, Who' have | been ■ since the | world be- | gan :
That we should be saved* from our I ene- I mies, And from' the | hand of | all that | hate us.
To perform the mercy promised' | to our | fathers, And to remember' His | holy | cove- I nant :
The oath which He sware to our Father' | Abra- | nam. That He' would | grant — I unto | us.
That we being delivered from the hand' of our | ene- I mies,
Might' I serve Him I without | fear, In holiness' and | righteous- | ness,
Be'- I fore Him | all our | days. Amen.

Ps. i. Blessed' I is the I man

And in his law' doth he I medi- • tate | day and I night. And He shall be like a tree planted' by the | rivers • of | waters.
That bringeth forth' his | fruit — I in his | season : His leaf also' I shall not | wither ;
And whatsoever' he I doeth | shall — | prosper. The ungodly' | are not I so :
But are like the chaff' which the I wind doth | drive a- I way. Therefore the ungodly' shall not | stand ■ in the I judgment,
Nor sinners' in the congre- I gation I of the I righteous. For the Lord knoweth' the | way • of the | righteous ;
But the way' of the un- | godly | shall — | perish. Amen.
