DIRECTIONS FOR THE USE OF THIS BOOK.
I.-TO THOSE WHO CONDUCT PUBLIC WOESHIP.
This book is designed to be used for congregational singing, in connection with the Psalm-Book " approved and authorized by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, in the United States of America." Accordingly, the psalms and hymns have been copied into it with the same numbers which they bear in that collection. So that, in using the two books together, it will be necessary to announce the number of the selection, and the number of the psalm or hymn. When the present book is used by itself, the number of the selection only need be named.
H-TO THOSE WHO DIRECT THE SINGING.
1. In order that the continued and successful cooperation of the congrega- tion in congregational singing may be secured, it is absolutely essential that those psalms in which they are expected to sing should be unfailingly set to tunes perfectly familiar. A single disappointment of the congregation by the substitu- tion of an unfamiliar tune where an old one was expected, may undo all that has been accomplished in many weeks, for the encouragement of hearty and unani- mous singing from all the people.
The tunes in this book have been chosen chiefly on the ground of their familiarity to the people ; and of these it will be well, for the first few Sundays, if the minister will give out hymns for the commonest and easiest. If there are three or four tunes in it which are not already known to all the people, they will soon become so when the book is faithfully used.
It is a great and obvious advantage to singing in public worship, where a particular hymn is strongly associated with a particular tune. This advantage also will be secured by the proper use of this book, according to its plain, intention.
IV DIRECTIONS FOR THE USE OF THIS BOOK.
It is, therefore, very urgently recommended, that this book be not introduced into the worship of any church, except with the explicit understanding that the hymns which it contains, when read in those parts of the service appointed for congregational singing, shall be invariably sung in the tunes with which they are here printed.
2. This book is not intended in any measure to embarrass or discourage the choir. It has been prepared with a full recognition of the usefulness and import- ance of the choir, not only to lead in the singing of the congregation, but also to perform church-music with reference to its impression upon the people as listeners. But it is evidently impossible to unite these two sorts of singing in the same exercise. It is impossible to have tasteful, impressive, and effective choir-singing, so long as scattering voices in the congregation attempt to join in it, at the pleasure of each individual. It is also impossible to have unanimous, hearty, devout singing from the whole congregation, so long as there is a studious effort after choir effects, either in the selection or in the performance of the music, on the part of those who conduct it. Sudden pauses and holds, crescendoes and diminnendoes, accelerandoes, ritardandoes, &c, are among the necessary arts of choir-singing, although even in this they are often used injudiciously and excess- ively ; but if used by the choir in leading congregational singing, they serve only to distract the attention of the worshiper, and to discourage the less practiced voices from joining in the psalm.
It is therefore recommended to the choir, in leading the singing of the people, to attempt nothing more than to maintain correct tune and a proper and steady movement.
3. It should be the duty of the director of the music to see that the tunes to be used by the congregation are taught by rote, if not to the whole con- gregation, at least to all the younger portion of it.
m.-TO THE CONGREGATION.
1. Devotional singing is not a proper subject for criticism. It is not intended to be impressive upon those of the congregation who listen to it in^ silence, but to be the means of expressing the feelings of those who engage in it. Congrega.- tions should remember that it devolves on them — and not upon any particular portion of them — by God's help to make this exercise what it should be ; and that if it is feeble, and insincere, and unedifying, it is not necessarily by any fault of the choir, but rather of themselves.
2. Wherever, in our American churches, congregational singing is attempted, the result is apt to be a confused and feeble hum, accompanying the music of the choir and organ. Some of the causes of this result have already been adverted
DIRECTIONS FOR THE USE OF THIS BOOK. V
to. Where these are obviated, there seems to be no reason why the songs of Zion should not be taken up boldly and confidently — why the great congregation should not learn to make " a loud noise," u a joyful noise to the Rock of their salvation." When such singing as this shall have become general, there is no man so uncultivated in voice, or so untutored in ear, that he need fear to join the chorus. Individual peculiarities and defects will be drowned in the tide of har- mony, and voices otherwise uncertain or discordant will be sustained and carried along in the general current.
3. It ought to be a care to all parents to see that their children learn the tunes which are used in the services of the Lord's house.
rV-FTNALLY :
By all means let there be a perfectly plain understanding between min- ister, choir, and people, as to what part the latter two are to take in public worship. Where there is a choir whose performances are attractive, impressive, and edify- ing, let it be decided by the proper authority in the church, what part, if any, in the services of the Lord's house, shall be assigned to them ; and then let the sentiments of their song be listened to with silence and respect. Let it also be decided at what place in the service the people shall unite in a psalm of worship, and then let familiar words be sung in a familiar tune, and let all the people sing with a loud voice. Thus the singing of the choir will not be disturbed by a con- fused attempt, on the part of one and another in the congregation, at humming an unfamiliar tune ; and, on the other hand, the psalm of praise will not be the feeble, hesitating song of a few individuals, but the full, hearty, and sincere voice of the great congregation.

4. For Him shall endless prayer be made, And endless praises crown his head, His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise, With every morning's sacrifice.
5. People and realms of every tongue Dwell on his love with sweetest song ; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on his name.
6. Blessings abound where'er He reigns, The joyful prisoner bursts his chains ; The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.
7. Where He displays his healing power, Death and the curse are known no more, In Him the tribes of Adam boast
More blessings than their father lost.
Let every creature rise and bring Peculiar honors to our King ; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud amen.
Sel. HI. Psalm 100, i.
1. YE nations round the earth, rejoice
Before the Lord, your sovereign King ; Serve Him with cheerful heart and voice, With all your tongues his glory sing.
2. The Lord is God ; 'tis He alone
Doth life, and breath, and being give ; We are his work, and not our own ; The sheep that on his pastures live.
3. Enter his gates with songs of joy ;
With praises to his courts repair, And make it your divine employ
To pay your thanks and honors there.

Sel. IV. Psalm 100, ii.
1. BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne,
Ye nations, bow with sacred joy: Know that the Lord is God alone ; He can create, and He destroy.
2. His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men ; And when like wandering sheep we strayed, He brought us to his fold again.
3. We are his people, we his care,
Our souls, and all our mortal frame : What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to thy name !
4. "We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs,
High as the heavens our voices raise, Arid earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.
5. Wide as the world is thy command,
Vast as eternity thy love ; Firm as a rock thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.
Sel. Y. Psalm 117, ii.
1. FROM all that dwell below the skies Let the Creator's praise arise ;
Let the Redeemer's name be sung Through every land, by every tongue.

Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore, Till suns shall set and rise no more.

From distant worlds where creatures dwell : Let heaven begin the solemn word, And sound it dreadful down to helL

Make the Creator's name be known; Loud as his thunder shout his praise, And sound it lofty as his throne.
11. Jehovah! 'tis a glorious word!
0 may it dwell on every tongue ! But saints, who best have known the Lord, Are bound to raise the noblest song.
12. Speak of the wonders of that love
Which Gabriel plays on every chord ; From all below, and all above, Loud hallelujahs to the Lord.

1. ALL people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice : Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell ; Come ye before Him and rejoice.
2. Know that the Lord is God indeed,
Without our aid He did us make : We are his flock, He doth us feed, And for his sheep He doth us take.
3. 0 enter then his gates with praise,
Approach with joy his courts unto; Praise, laud, and bless his name always, For it is seemly so to do.
4. Because the Lord our God is good,
His mercy is for ever sure : His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age endure.
Sel. VIII. Hymn 480.
1. DISMISS us with thy blessing, Lord, Help us to feed upon thy word ;
All that has been amiss forgive, And let thy truth within us live.

Sel. IX, Psalm 84, i.
[Stanzas 1 and 2 in the music]
3. The sparrow chooses where to rest, And for her young provides her nest ; But will my God to sparrows grant That pleasure which his children want ?
4. Blest are the saints who sit on high, Around thy throne above the sky ; Thy brightest glories shine above, And all their work is praise and love.
5. Blest are the saints who find a place Within the temple of thy grace ; There they behold thy gentler rays, And seek thy face, and learn thy praise.
6. Blest are the men whose hearts are set To find the way to Sion's gate ;
God is their strength ; and thro' the road They lean upon their Helper, God.
1. Cheerful they walk with growing strength, Till all shall meet in heaven at length, Till all before thy face appear, And join in nobler worship there.
Sell Psalm 85, ii.
1. SALVATION is for ever nigh
The souls that fear and trust the Lord : And grace descending from on high Fresh hopes of glory shall afford.
2. Mercy and truth on earth are met,
Since Christ the Lord came down from heaven ; By his obedience, so complete,
Justice is pleased, and peace is given.
3. Now truth and honor shall abound,
Religion dwell on earth again, And heavenly influence bless the ground, In our Redeemer's gentle reign.
4. His righteousness is gone before,
To give us free access to God ; Our wandering feet shall stray no more, But mark his steps, and keep the road.
Sel, XL Hymn 351.
1. JESUS, and shall it ever be,
A mortal man ashamed of Thee ? Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endles-s days
2. Ashamed of Jesus ! sooner far Let evening blush to own a star ; He sheds the beams of light divine O'er this benighted soul of mine.
3. Ashamed of Jesus ! just as soon Let midnight be ashamed of noon ; 'Tis midnight with my soul, till He, Bright Morning Star, bid darkness flee.
4. Ashamed of Jesus ! that dear friend On whom my hopes of heaven depend No, wThen I blush, be this my shame, That I no more revere his name.
5. Ashamed of Jesus ! Yes, I may, When I've no guilt to wash away, No tear to wipe, no good to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save.
6. Till then — nor is my boasting vain — Till then, I boast a Saviour slain : And 0 may this my glory be,
That Christ is not ashamed of me.
Sel. XII. Hymn 446.
1. MY God, how endless is thy love !
Thy gifts are every evening new ; And morning mercies from above, Gently distill, like early dew.
2. Thou spread'st the curtain of the night,
Great Guardian of my sleeping hours ; Thy sovereign word restores the light, And quickens all my drowsy powers.
3. I yield my powers to thy command,
To Thee I consecrate my days ; Perpetual blessings from thy hand, Demand perpetual songs of praise.

8d.H0. Psalm 72, i,
[1st stanza in the music]
2. Thy sceptre well becomes bis hands, All heaven submits to his commands ; His justice shall avenge the poor, And pride and rage prevail no more.
3. With power He vindicates the just, And treads th' oppressor in the dust ; His worship and his fear shall last, Till hours, and years, and time be past.
4. As rain on meadows newly mown, So shall He send his influence down ; His grace on fainting souls distills, Like heavenly dew on thirsty hills.
5. The heathen lands that lie beneath The shades of overspreading death, Revive at his first dawning light, And deserts blossom at the sight.
6. The saints shall flourish in his days, Drest in the robes of joy and praise; Peace, like a river from his throne, Shall flow to nations yet unknown.
Sel. XIV. Psalm 97, iii.
1. THE Almighty reigns, exalted high O'er all the earth, o'er all the sky ; Though clouds and darkness veil his feet, His dwelling is the mercy-seat.
2. 0 ! ye that love his holy name, Hate every work of sin and shame ; He guards the souls of all his friends, And from the snares of hell defends.
3. Immortal light, and joys unknown, Are for the saints in darkness sown ; Those glorious seeds shall spring and rise, And the bright harvest bless our eyes.
4. Rejoice, ye righteous, and record The sacred honors o[ the Lord ; None but the soul that feels his srace
Sel, XV. HvmnlOj,

1. NOW to the Lord a noble song ; Awake, my soul, awake, my tongue ; Hosanna to th' eternal Name,
And all his boundless love proclaim.
2. See where it shines in Jesus' face, The brightest image of his grace ; God, in the person of his Son,
Has all his mightiest works outdone.
3. The spacious earth, and spreading flood, Proclaim the wise and powerful God; And thy rich glories from afar Sparkle in every rolling star.
4. But in his looks a glory stands, The noblest labor of thine hands ; The pleasing lustre of his eyes Outshines the wonders of the skies.
5. Grace ! 'tis a sweet, a charming theme, My thoughts rejoice at Jesus' name ; Ye angels, dwell upon the sound ;
Ye heavens, reflect it to the ground.
6. 0 ! may I live to reach the place Where He unveils his lovely face ! "Where all his beauties you behold, And sing his name to harps of gold.
Sel. XVI. Hymn 238.
1. WHAT equal honors shall we bring
To thee, O Lord, our God, the Lamb, When all the notes that angels sing Are far inferior to thy name !
2. Worthy is He that once was slain, [died,
The Prince of Peace, that groaned and Worthy to rise, and live, and reign, At his almighty Father's side.
3. Blessings for ever on the Lamb,
Who bore the curse for wretched men : Let angela sound his sacred name, And every creature say — Amen.

Round the whole earth, and never stand. So, when thy truth began its race, It touched and glanced on every land.
•1. Nor shall thy spreading gospel rest.
Till through the world thy truth has run ; Till Christ has all the nations blest, That see the light, or feel the sun.
5. Great Sun of Righteousness, arise,
Bless the dark world with heavenly light; Thy gospel makes the simple wise,
Thy laws are pure, thy judgments right.

In souls renewed, and sins forgiven ; Lord, cleanse my sins, my soul renew, And make thy word my guide to heaven.

1. HIGH in the heavens, eternal God,
Thy goodness in full glory shines ; Thy truth shall break through every cloud That veils and darkens thy designs.

As mountains their foundations keep; Wise are the wonders of thy hands, Thy judgments are a mighty deep.
3. Thy providence is kind and large,
Both man and beast thy bounty share The whole creation is thy charge, But saints are thy peculiar care.
•i. My God. how excellent thy grace !
Whence all our hope and comfort springs; The sons of Adam in distress Fly to the shadow of thy wings.
5. From the provisions of thy house
We shall be fed with sweet repast, There, mercy, like a river, flows, And brings salvation to our taste.
6. Life, like a fountain rich and free,
Springs from the presence of my Lord, And in thy light our souls shall see The glories promised in thy word.

That pay their night and morning vows : But makes a more delightful stay "Where churches meet to praise and pray.
3. What glories were described of old ! What wonders are of Sion told ! Thou city of our God below,
Thy fame shall Tyre and Egypt know.
4. Egypt and Tyre, and Greek and Jew, Shall there begin their lives anew : Angels and men shall join to sing The hill where living waters spring.
5. When God makes up his last account Of natives in his holy mount, 'Twill be an honor to appear
A.s one new-born and nourished there.
Sel. XX. IIynm275.
1. AH wretched souls, who strive in vain,
Slaves to the world, and slaves to sin, A nobler toil may I sustain ; A nobler satisfaction win.
2. May I resolve with all my heart.
With all my powers to serve the Lord ; Nor from his precepts e'er depart, Whose service is a rich reward.
3. 0 ! be his service all my joy !
Around let my example shine, 'Till others love the blest employ, And join in labors so divine.
4. Be this the purpose of my soul,
My solemn, my determined choice, To yield to his supreme control, And in his kind commands rejoice.
5. 0 ! may I never faint nor tire,
Nor wandering leave his sacred ways : Great God, accept my soul's desire, And give me strength to live thy praise.

Sel.XXL Psalm 84. ii.
[Stanzas 1—3 in the music]
4. All needful grace will God bestow. And crown that grace with glory, too : He gives us all things, and withholds No real good from upright souls.
5. 0 God, our King, whose sovereign sway The glorious hosts of heaven obey, And devils at thy presence flee ;
Blest is the man that trusts in thee.
Sel.XXII. Hymn 108.
1. NO more, my God, I boast no more
Of all the duties I have done ; I quit the hopes I held before, To trust the merits of thy Son.
2. Now for the love I bear his name,
What was mv gain, I count my loss : My former pride I call my shame, And nail my glory to his cross.
3. Yes, and I must and will esteem
All things but loss for Jesus' sake; 0 may my soul be found in Him, And of his righteousness partake.
4. The best obedience of my hands
Dares not appear before thy throne ; But faith can answer thy demands, By pleading what my Lord has done.
SeLXXHI. Hymn 349.
1. SO let our lips and lives express The holy gospel we profess ;
So let our works and virtues shine, To prove the doctrine all divine.
2. Thus shall we best proclaim abroad The honors of our Saviour God, "When his salvation reigns within. And grace subdues the power of sin.
3. Our flesh and sense must be denied, Passion and envy, lust and pride ; "While justice, temperance, truth, and love, Our inward piety approve.
4. Religion bears our spirits up, "While we expect that blessed hope, The bright appearance of the Lord, And faith stands leaning on his word.
Sf 1. XXIV. Hvmn454,
1. COME, gracious Lord, descend and dwell
By faith and love in every breast :
Then shall we know, and taste, and feel
The joys that cannot be expressed.
2. Come, fill our hearts with inward strength,
Make our enlarged souls possess, And learn the height, and breadth, and length Of thine immeasurable grace.
3. Now to the God whose power can do More than our thoughts or wishes know, Be everlasting honors done,
By all the church, through Christ his Son.
Sel. XXY. Hymn 577.
1. O SUN of righteousness, arise,
With gentle beams on Si on shine ; Dispel the darkness from our eyes, And souls awake to life divine.
2. On all around let grace descend,
Like heavenly dew, or copious showers ; That we may call our God our friend; That we may hail salvation curs.
SeLXXTI. Hymn 639.
1. UNYEIL thy bosom, faithful tomb,
Take this new treasure to thy trust, And give these sacred relics room To slumber in the silent dust.
2. Nor pain, nor grief, nor anxious fear
Invades thy bounds — no mortal woes Can reach the peaceful sleeper here, "While angels watch his soft repose.
3. So Jesus slept, God's dying Son
Passed thro' the grave, and blessed the bed; Rest here, blest saint, till from his throne The morning break, and pierce the shade.
4. Break from his throne, illustrious morn,
Attend, 0 earth, his sovereign word ; Restore thy trust — a glorious form Shall then arise to meet the Lord.

Sel. XXVII. Psalm 68, ii.
[Slanzas 1 and 2 in the music]
3. How bright the triumph none can tell, When the rebellious powers of hell, That thousand souls had captive made, "Were all, in chains, like captives, led.
4. Raised by his Father to the throne, He sent his promised Spirit down, With gifts and grace for rebel men, That God might dwell on earth again.
ScLXXVffl. Hymn 207.
1. NOW to the Lord that makes us know
The wonders of his dying love, Be humble honors paid below,
And strains of nobler praise above.
2. 'Twas He that cleansed our foulest sins,
And washed us in his richest blood ; 'Tis He that makes us priests and kings, And brings us rebels near to God.
3. To Jesus our atoning Priest,
To Jesus our exalted King, Be everlasting power confessed, And every tongue his glory sing.
4. Behold, on flying clouds He comes,
And every eye shall see Him move ;
Tho' with our sins we pierced Him once,
Still He displays his pardoning love.
5. The unbelieving world shall wail,
While we rejoice to see the day ;
Come, Lord, nor let thy promise fail,
Nor let thy chariots long delay.
Sel. XXIX. Hymn 553.
1. ARM of the Lord, awake, awake, Put on thy strength, the nations shake, And let the world, adoring, see Triumphs of mercy, wrought by thee.
2. Say to the heathen, from thy throne, " I am Jehovah — God alone :"
Thy voice their idols shall confound, And cast their altars to the ground.
3. No more let human blood be spilt, — Vain sacrifice for human guilt ;
But to each conscience be applied The blood that flowed from Jesus' side.

4. Almighty God, thy grace proclaim, In every land, declare thy name, Let adverse powers before thee fall, And crown the Saviour — Lord of all.
Sel. XXX. Hymn 564.
1. SOVEREIGN of worlds, display thy power, Be this thy Sion's favored hour ;
Bid the bright morning star arise, And point the nations to the skies.
2. Set up thy throne where Satan reigns, On western wilds, and heathen plains ; Far let the gospel's sound be known, And be the universe thine own.
3. Speak — and the world shall hear thy voice' Speak — and the nations shall rejoice ; Scatter the shades of moral night,
With the blest beams of heavenly light.
Sel. XXXI. Hymn 661.
1. DESCEND from heaven, immortal Dove,
Stoop down and take us on thy wings, And mount and bear us far above The reach of these inferior things.
2. Beyond, beyond this lower sky,.
Up where eternal ages roll, Where solid pleasures never die, And fruits immortal feast the soul.
3. 0, for a sight, a pleasing sight
Of our almighty Father's throne ! There sits our Saviour, crowned with light, Clothed in a body bike our own.
4. Adoring saints around Him stand,
And thrones and powers before Him fall ; The God shines gracious thro' the man, And sheds sweet glories on them all.
5. 0, what amazing joys they feel,
While to their golden harps they sing, And sit on every heavenly hill,
And spread the triumphs of their King.
6. When shall the day, dear Lord, appear,
That I shall mount to dwell above, And stand and bow amongst them there, And view thy face, and sing, and love ?

Sel.XXXffl. Hymn 219.

But in thy life the law appears, Drawn out in living characters.
2. Such was thy truth, and such thy zeal, Such deference to thy Father's will, Such love, and meekness so divine,
I would transcribe and make them mine.
3. Cold mountains and the midnight air Witnessed the fervor of thy prayer; The desert thy temptatious knew, Thy conflict and thy victory too.
4. Be thou my pattern ; make me bear More of thy gracious image here ; Then God the Judge shall own my name Among the followers of the Lamb.
SeLXffl?. Hymn 263.
1. SAY, sinner, hath a voice within,
Oft whispered to thy secret soul, Urged thee to leave the ways of sin, And yield thy heart to God's control ?
2. Hath something met thee in the path
Of worldliness and. vanity, And pointed to the coming wrath,
And warned thee from that wrath to flee ?
3. Sinner, it was a heavenly voice,
It was the Spirit's gracious call ; It bade thee make the better choice, And haste to seek in Christ thine all.
4. Spurn not the call to life and light ;
Regard in time the warning kind ; That call thou may'st not always slight, And yet the gate of mercy find,
5. God's Spirit will not always strive
With hardened, self-destroying man; Ye. who persist his love to grieve, May never hear his voice again.
6. Sinner, perhaps this very day
Thy last accepted time may be ; 0, shouldst thou grieve Him now away, Then hope may never beam on thee.
Sel, XXXV. Hymn 267.
1. COME, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove, "With light and comfort from above : Be Thou our guardian, Thou our guide ; O'er every thought and step preside.
2. The light of truth to us display,
And make us know and choose thy way ; Plant holy fear in every heart. That we from God may not depart.
3. Lead us to holiness — the road
That we must take to dwell with God ; Lead us to Christ, the living way, Nor let us from his precepts stiay.
4. Lead us to God, our final rest, In his enjoyment to be blest ; Lead us to heaven, the seat of bliss, Where pleasure in perfection is.
Sel. XXXVI. Hymn 487.
1. THINE earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love, But there's a nobler rest above ;
To that our longing souls aspire, With ardent love and strong desire.
2. In thy blest kingdom we shall be From every mortal trouble free ;
No groans shall mingle with the songs Which warble from immortal tongues.
3. No rude alarms of raging foes, No cares to break the long repose, No midnight shade, no clouded sun, But sacred, high, eternal noon.
4. O, long-expected day, begin ; Dawn on this world of woe and sin : Fain would we leave this weary road, And sleep in death, and rest in God.
Sel. XXXVII. Hymn 526.

LStanzas 1—4 in the music]
5. Should sudden vengeance seize ray breath, I must pronounce Thee just in death ; And if my soul were sent to hell,
Thy righteous law approves it well.
6. Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord, Whose hope, still hovering round thy word, "Would light on some sweet promise there, Some sure support against despair.
Sel. XXXIX. Psalm 51, ii.
[Stanzas 1—4 omitted.]
5. A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring ;
The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice.
6. My soul lies humbled in the dust, And owns thy dreadful sentence just ; Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, And save the soul condemned to die.
7. Then will I teach the world thy ways : Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace ; I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood, And they shall praise a pardoning God.
8. O, may thy love inspire my tongue ! Salvation shall be all my song ;
And all my powers shall join to bless The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness.
Sel. XL. Psalm 88, iii.
1. WHILE life prolongs its precious light,
Mercy is found, and peace is given ;
But soon, ah, soon ! approaching night
Shall blot out every hope of heaven.
2. While God invites, how blest the day !
How sweet the gospel's charming sound! " Come, sinners, haste, 0 ! haste away, While yet a pardoning God He's found.
3. " Soon, borne on time's most rapid wing,
Shall death command you to the grave, Before his bar your spirits bring, And none be found to hear, or save.
4. " In that lone land of deep despair,
No Sabbath's heavenly light shall rise ; No God regard your bitter prayer, Nor Saviour call you to the skies."
23
5. No wonders to the dead are shown,
(The wonders of redeeming love ;) No voice his glorious truth makes known, Nor sings the bliss of climes above.
6. Silence, and solitude, and gloom,
In these forgetful realms appear ; Deep sorrows fill the dismal tomb, And hope shall never enter there.
SeLXLL flynm278.
1. BROAD is the road that leads to death,
And thousands walk together there ; But wisdom shows a narrow path, With here and there a traveller.
2. " Deny thyself, and take thy cross,"
Is the Redeemer's great command: Nature must count her gold but dross, If she would gain this heavenly land.
3. The fearful soul that tires and faints,
And walks the ways of God no more, Is but esteemed almost a saint, And makes his own destruction sure.
4. Lord, let not all my hopes be vain ;
Create my heart entirely new ; Which hypocrites could ne'er attain, Which false apostates never knew.
Sel. XLE Hymn 424.
1. WAIT, 0 my soul, thy Maker's will, Tumultuous passions, all be still ; Nor let a murmuring thought arise ; His ways are just, his counsels wise.
2. He in the thickest darkness dwells, Performs his work, the cause conceals ; And tho' his footsteps are unknown, Judgment and truth support his throne.
3. In heaven and earth, in air and seas, He executes his wise decrees ;
And by his saints it stands confessed, That what he does is ever best.
4. Then, 0 my soul, submissive wait, With reverence bow before his seat ; And, 'midst the terrors of his rod, Trust in a wise and gracious God.

I shall be near, and like my God ; And flesh and sia no more control The sacred pleasures of the soul.
6. My flesh shall slumber in the ground, Till the last trumpet's joyful sound^ Then burst the chains with sweet surprise, And in my Saviour's image rise.
fcL XLIY.
Psalm 92, i,
1. SWEET is the work, my God, my King, To praise thy name, give thanks and sing, To show thy love by morning light, And talk of all thy truth at night.
2. Sweet is the day of sacred rest ;
No mortal care shall seize my breast ; O ! may my heart in tune be found, Like David's harp of solemn sound !
3. My heart shall triumph in my Lord, And bless his works, and bless his word ; Thy works of grace how bright they shine ! How deep thy counsels ! how divine !
4. Fools never raise their thoughts so high ; Like brutes they live, like brutes they die ; Like grass they flourish, till thy breath Blast them in everlasting death.
5. But I shall share a glorious part, "When grace hath well refined my heart, And fresh supplies of joy are shed, Like holy oil to cheer my head.
6. Sin (my worst enemy before)
Shall vex my eyes aud ears no more, My inward foes shall all be slain, Nor Satan break my peace again.
7. Then shall I see, and hear, and know All I desired or wished below ; And every power find sweet employ In that eternal world of joy.

2. He lives ; the everlasting God,
That built the world, that spread the flood ; The heavens, with all their hosts, He made, And the dark regions of the dead.
3. He guides our feet, He guards our way ; His morning smiles adorn the day :
He spreads the evening veil, and keeps The silent hours while Israel sleeps.
4. Israel, a name divinely blest, May rise secure, securely rest ; Thy holy Guardian's wakeful eyes Admit no slumber nor surprise.
5. No sun shall smite thy head by day, Nor the pale moon, with siekly ray, Shall blast thy couch ; no baleful star Dart his malignant fire so far.
6. Should earth and hell with malice burn, Still thou shalt go, and still return, Safe in the Lord ; his heavenly care Defends thy life from every snare.
7. On thee foul spirits have no power ; And in thy last departing hour Angels that trace the airy road, Shall bear thee homeward to thy God.
Sel. XLYf. Hymn 486.
1. ANOTHER six days' work is done, Another Sabbath is begun ; Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest, Improve the day thy God hath blest.
2. 0 that our thoughts and thanks may rise As grateful incense to the skies ;
And draw from heaven that sweet repose, Which none but he that feels it knows.
3. This heavenly calm within the breast, L| the dear pledge of glorious rest, Which for the church of God remains, The end of cares, the end of pains.
4. In holy duties let the day,
In holy pleasures, pass away ;
How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend,
In hope of one that ne'er shall end 1

Sel. XLVin. Hymn 279.
1. I SEND the joys of earth away ;
Away, ye tempters of the mind, False as the smooth, deceitful sea, And empty as the whistling wind.
2. Your streams were floating me along,
Down to the gulf of black despair, And whilst I listened to your song, Your streams had e'en conveyed me there.
3. Lord, I adore thy matchless grace,
That warned me of that dark abyss, That drew me from those treacherous seas And bade me seek superior bliss.
4. Now to the shining realms above
I stretch my hands, and glance my eyes : 0 for the pinions of a dove, To bear me to the upper skies.
5. There from the bosom of my God,
Oceans of endless pleasure roll ; There would I fix my last abode, And drown the sorrows of my soul.
SeLXLIX, Hymn 283.
[Stanza 4 omitted.]
1. WHEN I survey the wondrous cross,
On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
2. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ, my God ; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood.
3. See, from his head, his hands, hi3 feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down ■ Did e'er such love and sorrow meet. Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4. "Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small ; Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
Sel. I. Hymn 447,
1. MY God, permit me not to be A stranger to myself and thee ; Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove, Forgetful of my highest love.
2. Why should my passions mix with earth, And thus debase my heavenly birth ? Why should I cleave to things below, And let my God, my Saviour, go ?
3. Call me away from flesh and sense ;
One sovereign word can draw me thence ; I would obey the voice divine, And all inferior joys resign.
4. Be earth, with all her scenes, withdrawn ; Let noise and vanity be gone ;
In secret silence of the mind,
My heaven, and there my God, I find.
Sel. LI. Hymn 672.
1. NOW let our souls, on wings sublime, Rise from the vanities of time ; Draw back the parting veil, and see The glories of eternity.
2. Born by a new celestial birth,
Why should we grovel here on earth ? Why grasp at transitory toys, So near to heaven's eternal joys ?
3. Shall aught beguile us on the road, When we are walking back to God ? For strangers into life we come, And dying is but coming home.
4. Welcome, sweet hour of full discharge, That sets our longing souls at large ; Unbinds our chain, breaks up our cell, And gives us with our God to dwell
5. To dwell with God, to feel his love, Is the full heaven enjoyed above ; And the sweet expectation now,
Is the young dawn of heaven below.

Sel. LIL Psalm 70.
[Stanzas 1—3, omitted ; 4, 5, in the music]
6. Saints shall be glad before thy face, And grow in love, and truth, and grace ; Thy church shall blossom in thy sight, And yield her fruits of pure delight.
7. O, hither, then, thy footsteps bend ; - Swift as a roe, from hills descend ;
Mild as the Sabbath's cheerful ray, Till life unfolds eternal day !
SeLIIII. Psalm 110, i.
1. Thus God, th' eternal Father, spake
To Christ the Son : " Ascend and sit At my right hand, till I shall make Thy foes submissive at thy feet."
2. " From Sion shall thy -word proceed,
Thy word, the sceptre in thy hand, Shall make the hearts of rebels bleed, And bow their wills to thy command.
3. " That day shall show thy power is great,
When saints shall flock with willing minds, And sinne s crowd thy temple gate, Where holiness in beauty shines."
4. 0, blessed power ! 0, glorious day !
What a large victory shall ensue ! And converts, who thy grace obey, Exceed the drops of morning dew.
Sel.LIV. Hymn 21.
1. FATHER of all, whose love profound A ransom for our souls hath found, Before thy throne we sinners bend ; To us thy pardoning love extend.
2. Almighty Son, incarnate Word,
Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord, Before thy throne we sinners bend ; To us thy saving grace extend.
3. Eternal Spirit, by whose breath
The soul is raised from sin and death, Before thy throne we sinners bend ; To us thy quickening power extend.
4. Jehovah ! Father, Spirit, Son,
Mysterious Godhead, Three in One 1 Before thy throne we sinners bend ; Grace, pardon, life, to us extend.
Sel.LV. Hymn 212.
1. NOT to condemn the sons of men,
Did Christ the Son of God appear : No weapons in his hands are seen, No flaming sword or thunder there.
2. Such was the pity of our God,
He loved the race of men so well, He sent his Son to bear our load
Of sins, and save our souls from hell.
3. Sinners, believe the Saviour's word,
Trust in his mighty name and live ; A thousand joys his lips afford,
His hands a thousand blessings give.
Sel.LVI. Hymn 470.
1. 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 besides more sweet, It is the blood-bought mercy-seat.
3. There is a scene, where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend; Tho' sundered far, by faith they meet, Around one common mercy-seat.
4. Ah ! whither could we flee for aid, When tempted, desolate, dismayed? Or how the hosts of hell defeat, Had suffering saints no mercy-seat ?
5. There, there, on eagles' wings we soar, And sin and sense seem all no more ; And heaven comes down our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy-seat.
6. 0, let my hand forget her skill. My tongue, be silent, cold, and still, This sounding heart forget to beat, If I forget thy mercy-seat.

Sel. LVII. Hymn 144.
[Stanzas 1 and 2 in the Music]
S Not so your eyes will always view Those objects which you now pursue ; Not so will heaven and hell appear, When death's decisive hour is near.
4. Almighty God, thy grace impart ; Fix deep conviction on each heart; Nor let us waste, on trifling cares, That life which thy compassion spares.
Sel. MIL Hymn 155.
1. COME hither, all ye weary souls,
Ye heavy-laden sinners, come ; I'll give you rest from all your toils, And raise you to my heavenly home.
2. They shall find rest that learn of me ;
I'm of a meek and lowly mind ; But passion rages like the sea, And pride is restless as the wind.
3. Blest is the man whose shoulders take
My yoke, and bear it with delight ; My yoke is easy to his neck,
My grace shall make the burden light.
4. Jesus, we come at thy command,
With faith, and hope, and humble zeal ; Resign our spirits to thy hand,
To mould and guide us at thy will.
Sel.LLX. Hymn 451.
1. COME, Christian brethren, ere we part, Join every voice, and every heart ; One solemn hymn to God we raise, One final song of grateful praise.
2. Christians, we here may meet no more ; But there is yet a happier shore ; And there, released from toil and pain, Dear brethren, we shall meet again.
31 SfcLLX. Hymn 528.
1. HERE at thy cross, incarnate God,
I lay my soul beneath thy love,
Beneath the droppings of thy blood,
Jesus, nor shall it e'er remove.
2. Not all that tyrants think or say,
With rage and lightning in their eyes ; Nor hell shall fright my heart away, Should hell with all its legions rise.
3. Should worlds conspire to drive me thence,
Moveless and firm this heart should lie ; Resolved, for that's my last defence, If I must perish, there to die.
4. But speak, my Lord, and calm my fear ;
Am I not safe beneath thy shade ? Thy vengeance will not strike me here, Nor Satan dare my soul invade.
5. Yes, I'm secure beneath thy blood,
And all my foes shall lose their aim ; Hosanna to my Saviour God, And my best honors to his name.
Sel. LH. Hymn 557.
1. O, SPIRIT of the living God,
In all thy plenitude of grace, Where'er the foot of man hath trod, Descend on our apostate race,
2. Be darkness, at thy coming, light,
Confusion, order, in thy path ; Souls without strength inspire with might ; Bid mercy triumph over wrath.
3. Baptize the nations ; far and nigh,
The triumphs of the cross record ; The name of Jesus glorify,
Till every kindred call Him, Lord.
4. God from eternity hath willed
All flesh shall his salvation see ; So be the Father's love fulfilled,
The Saviour's sufferings crowned through thee.

[Stanzas 1, 2, and 3, in the music]
When trouble, like a gloomy cloud, Has gathered thick, and thundered loud, He near my soul hath always stood ; His loving-kindness ! O ! how good ! Often I feel my sinful heart Prone from my Saviour to depart ; But though I oft have Him forgot, His loving-kindness changes not.
6. Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale. Soon all my mortal powers must fail : 0 may my last expiring breath
His loving-kindness sing in death.
7. Then let me mount, and soar away To the bright world of endless day ; And sing, with rapture and surprise, His loving-kindness in the skies.

Sel. LXVIII. Psalm 65, iii.
[Stanzas 1, 2, and 3, in the music]
In answering what thy church requests,
Thy truth and terror shine, And works of dreadful righteousness
Fulfill thy kind design.
Thus shall the wondering nations see
The Lord is good and just ; And distant islands fly to thee,
And make thy name their trust.
They dread thy glittering tokens, Lord, When signs in heaven appear ;
But they shall learn thy holy word, And love as well as fear.
Sel, LUX. Psalm 67.
1. SHINE, mighty God, on Sion shine,
With beams of heavenly grace ; Reveal thy power through all our coasts, And show thy smiling face.
2. When shall thy name from shore to shore
Sound all the earth abroad ; And distant nations know and love Their Saviour and then* God ?
3. Sing to the Lord, ye distant lands,
Sing loud with solemn voice ; Let every tongue exalt his praise And every heart rejoice.
4. He, the great Lord, the sovereign Judge,
That sits enthroned above, In wisdom rules the worlds He made, And bids them taste his love.
6. Earth shall obey his high command, And yield a full increase ; Our God shall crown his chosen land With fruitfulness and peace.
6. God the Redeemer scatters round His choicest favors here, While the creation's utmost bound Shall see, adore, and fear.
Sel. LXX. Psalm 150,
1. IN God's own house pronounce his praise,
His grace He there reveals ; To heaven your joy and wonder raise, For there his glory dwells.
2. Let all your sacred passions move,
While you rehearse his deeds ; But the great work of saving love Your highest praise exceeds.
3. All that have motion, life, and breath,
Proclaim your Maker blest ; Yet when my voice expires in death, My soul shall praise Him best.
Sel. LXXI. Hymn 81.
1. ARISE, my soul, my joyful powers,
And triumph in thy God ; Awake, my voice, and loud proclaim His glorious grace abroad.
2. He raised me from the depths of sin,
The gates of gaping hell, And fixed my standing more secure Than 'twas before I fell.
3. The arms of everlasting love
Beneath my soul He placed, And on the Rock of ages set My slippery footsteps fast.
4. The city of my blest abode
Is walled around with grace ; Salvation for a bulwark stands To shield the sacred place.
5. Satan may vent his sharpest spite,
And all his legions roar ; Almighty mercy guards my life, And bounds his raging power.
6. Arise, my soul, awake my voice,
And tunes of pleasure sing ; Loud hallelujahs shall address My Saviour and my King.

3. Up to her courts, with joy unknown,
The holy tribes repair ; The Son of David holds his throne, And sits in judgment there.
4. He hears our praises and complaints

2. It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts
In this dark vale of tears ; Life, light, and joy, it still imparts, And quells our rising fears.
3. This lamp, through all the tedious night
Of life, shall guide our way, Till we behold the clearer light Of an eternal day.
Sel. LXXXIV. Hymn 266.
1. COME, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all thy quickening powers, Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours.
2. Look how we grovel here below,
Fond of these trifling toys : Our souls can neither fly nor go, To reach eternal joys.
3. In vain we tune our formal songs,
In vain we strive to rise ; Hosannas languish on our tongues, And our devotion dies.
4. Dear Lord, and shall we ever live
At this poor, dying rate ; Our love so faint, so cold to thee, And thine to us so great ?
5. Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all thy quickening powers, Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love, And that shall kindle ours.

[Stanzas 1—3, in the music ; 6—8, omitted] 4. But to thy house will I resort, 6. 0 may thy Spirit guide my feet
To taste thy mercies there
I will frequent thy holy court,
4nd worship in thy fear.
In ways of righteousness 1 Make every path of duty straight And plain before my face.

Sel. LXXXYI. Hymn 158.
1 YE wretched, hungry, starving poor, Behold a royal feast ; Where mercy spreads her bounteous store, For every humble guest.
2. See, Jesus stands with open arms,
He calls, He bids you come ; Guilt holds you back, and fear alarms ; But see, there yet is room.
3. Room in the Saviour's bleeding heart,
There love and pity meet ; Nor will He bid the soul depart, That trembles at his feet.
4. 0 ! come, and with his children, taste
The blessings of his love : "While hope attends the sweet repast Of nobler joys above.
5. There, with united heart and voice,
Before the eternal throne, Ten thousand thousand souls rejoice, In ecstasies unknown.
6. And yet ten thousand thousand more
Ave welcome still to come ; Ye longing souls, the grace adore, — Approach, there yet is room.
Sel. LXXXYII. Hymn 400.
' SWEET was the time, when first I felt The Saviour's pardoning blood Applied to cleanse my soul from guilt, And bring me home to God.
2.. Soon as the morn the light revealed, His praises tuned my tongue ; And when the evening shades prevailed, His love was all my song.
3. In prayer my soul drew near the Lord,
And saw his glory shine ; And when I read his holy word, I called each promise mine.
4. But now, when evening shade prevails,
My soul in darkness mourns : And when the morn the light reveals, No light to me returns.
5. Rise, Lord, and help mc to prevail, O make my soul thy care ; I know thy mercy cannot fail, Let me that mercy share.
Sel.LXXXYffl. Hymn 463.
1. LOXG have I sat beneath the sound
Of thy salvation, Lord ; But still how weak my faith is found, And knowledge of thy word.
2. Oft I frequent thy holy place,
And hear almost in vain : How small a portion of thy grace Can my false heart retain!
3. How cold and feeble is my love
How negligent my fear ! How low my hope of joys above ! How few affections there !
4. Great God, thy sovereign power impart,
To give thy word success ; Write thy salvation in my heart, And make me learn thy grace.
5. Show my forgetful feet the way
That leads to joys on high ; There knowledge grows without decay, And love shall never die.
Sel.LnXH Hymn 489.
1. FREQUEXT the day of God returns,
To shed its quickening beams ; And yet how slow devotion burns ; How languid are its flames !
2. Accept our faint attempts to love ;
Our frailties, Lord, forgive : We would be like thy saints above, And praise thee while we live.
3. Increase, 0 Lord, our faith and hope,
And fit us to ascend, Where the assembly ne'er breaks up, The Sabbath ne'er shall end.
4. Where we shall breathe in heavenly air,
With heavenly lustre shine ; Before the throne of God appear, And feast on love divine.

[Stanzas 1 and 2 in the music]
3. From vanity turn off my eyes ;
Let no corrupt design. Nor covetous desires arise Within this soul of mine.
4. Order my footsteps by thy -word,
And make my heart sincere ; Let sin have no dominion, Lord, But keep my conscience clear.
5. My soul hath gone too far astray,
My feet too often slip ; Yet, since I've not forgot thy way, Restore thy -wandering sheep.
6. Make me to -walk in thy commands,
'Tis a delightful road; Nor let my head, nor heart, nor hands Offend against my God.
Sel. XCI, Psalm 145. iii.
1. SWEET is the memorv of thy grace,
My God, my heavenly King ; Let age to age thy righteousness In sounds of glory sing.
2. God reigns on high, but ne'er confines
His goodness to the skies ; Through the whole earth his bounty shines, And every -want supplies.
3. With longing eyes thy creatures -wait
On thee for daily food ; Thy liberal hand provides their meat, And fills their mouths -with good.
4. Ho-w kind are thy compassions, Lord !
How slow thine anger moves ! But soon He sends his pardoning -word To cheer the souls He loves.
5 Creatures, -with all their endless race, Thy po-wer and praise proclaim ; But saints, that taste thy richer grace, Delight to bless thy name.

SeLXCII. Hymn 111.
1. SOVEREIGN of all the worlds on high,
Allow our humble claim ; Nor -while poor worms would raise their Disdain a Father's namt-. [heads.
2. Our Father God ! how sweet the sound !
How tender and how dear ! Not all the melody of heaven Could so delight the ear.
3. Come, sacred Spirit, seal the name
On my expanding heart ; And show, that in Jehovah's grace I share a filial part.
4. Cheered by a signal so divine,
Unwavering I believe ; Thou knowest I, Abba, Father, ery, Nor can thy word deceive.
Sel. XCffl. Hymn 390.
AM I a soldier of the cross,
A follower of the Lamb, And shall I fear to own his cause.
Or blush to speak his name ?
Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease. While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed through bloody seas !
Are there no foes for me to face ?
Must I not stem the flood I Is this dark world a friend to grace.
To help me on to God I
Sure I must fight, if I would reign ;
Increase my courage. Lord; Til bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by thy word.
Thy saints, in all this glorious war. Shall conquer though they die ;
They see the triumph from afar, With faith's discerning eye.
When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thine armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be thine.

[1st stanza in the music]
2. Sweet is thy speech, and heavenly grace Upon thy lips is shed ; Thy God, with blessings infinite, Hath crowned thy sacred head.
8. Gird on thy sword, victorious Prince, Ride with majestic sway ; Thy terror shall strike through thy foes, And make the world obey.
4. Thy throne, 0 God, for ever stands ;
Thy word of grace shall prove A peaceful sceptre in thy hands, To rule thy saints by love.
5. Justice and truth attend thee still,
But mercy is thy choice ; And God, thy God, thy soul shall fill With most peculiar joys.
Sel.XCV. Psalm 71, ii.
[Stanzas 3, 4, omitted.]
1. MY Saviour, my amiighty Friend,
"When I begin thy praise, "Where will the growing numbers end, The numbers of thy grace ?
2. Thou art my everlasting trust,
Thy goodness I adore ; And since I knew thy graces first, I speak thy glories more.
5. How will my lips rejoice to tell
The victories of my King ; My soul, redeemed from sin and hell, Shall thy salvation sing.
6. My tongue shall all the day proclaim
My Saviour and my God ; His death has brought my foes to shame, And saved me by his blood.
7. Awake, awake, my tuneful powers ;
With this delightful song
Til entertain the darkest hours,
Nor think the season long.
51 Sel.XCH. IIymn35.
1. THOU lovely Source of true delight,
Whom I, unseen, adore ; Unveil thy beauties to my sight, That I may love thee more.
2. Thy glory o'er creation shines ;
But in thy sacred word, I read in fairer, brighter lines, My bleeding, dying Lord.
3. 'Tis here, whene'er my comforts droop,
And sins and sorrows rise, Thy love, with cheerful beams of hope, My fainting heart supplies.
4. Jesus, my Lord, my life, my light,
O come, with blissful ray ; Break radiant through the shades of night, And chase my fears away.
5. Then shall my soul with rapture trace
The wonders of thy love ; But the full glories of thy face Are only known above.
Scl.XCYE Hymn 335.
1. JESUS, I love thy charming name,
'Tis music to mine ear ; Fain would I sound it out so loud, That earth and heaven should hear.
2. Yes, thou art precious to my soul,
My joy, my hope, my trust ; Jewels, to thee, are gaudy toys, And gold is sordid dust.
3. All my capacious powers can wish,
In thee most richly meet ; Nor to mine eyes is light so dear, Nor friendship half so sweet.
4. Thy grace still dwells upon my heart,
And sheds its fragrance there ; The noblest balm of all its wounds, The cordial of its care.
o. I'll speak the honors of thy name With my last, laboring breath, Then speechless, clasp thee in my arms, The antidote of death.

Sel. XCYIH. Psalm 119, Tiii,
[Stanzas 1 and 2 in the music]
3. 'Tis a broad land of -wealth unknown, Where springs of life arise ; Seeds of immortal bliss are sown, And hidden glory lies.
4. The best relief that mourners have, It makes our sorrows blest ; Our fairest hope beyond the grave, And our eternal rest.

Scl.XCK, Hymn 218.
1. WE bless the Prophet of the Lord,
Who comes -with truth and grace ; Jesus, thy Spirit and thy word, Shall lead us in thy ways.
2. "We reverence our High Priest above,
Who offered up his blood,
And lives to carry on his love,
By pleading with our God.
3. "We honor our exalted King ;
How sweet are his commands ! He guards our souls from hell and sin, By his almighty hands.
4. Hosanna to his glorious name,
Who saves by different ways ; His mercies lay a sovereign claim To our immortal praise.
Sel. C. Hymn 449.
1. I LOVE to steal awhile away
From every cumbering care ; And spend the hours of setting day In humble, grateful prayer.
2. I love in solitude to shed
The penitential tear, And all his promises to plead, Where none but God can hear.
3. I love to think on mercies past,
And future good implore, And all my cares and sorrows east On Him whom I adore.
4. I love by faith to take a view
Of brighter scenes in heaven ; The prospect does my strength renew, While here by tempests driven.
6. Thus, when life's toilsome day is o'er, May its departing ray Be calm as this impressive hour, And lead to endless day.
Sel. CI. Hymn 517.
1. HOW large the promise, how divine,
To Abraham and his seed ! " I '11 be a God to thee and thine, Supplying all their need."
2. The words of his extensive love,
From age to age endure ; The Angel of the covenant proves And seals the blessings sure.
3. Jesus the ancient faith confirms
To our great father given ; He takes young children to his arms, And calls them heirs of heaven.
4. Our God ! how faithful are his ways ! His love endures the same ; Nor from the promise of his grace, Blots out the children's name.
Sel. Gil. Hymn 665.
1. WHEN" I can read my title clear,
To mansions in the skies, I '11 bid farewell to every fear, And wipe my weeping eyes.
2. Should earth against my soul engage,
And hellish darts be hurled,
Then I can smile at Satan's rage,
And face a frowning world.
3. Let cares like a wild deluge come,
And storms of sorrow fall ;
May I but safely reach my home,
My God, my heaven, my all.
4. There shall I bathe my weary soul
In seas of heavenly rest, And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast.

Sel. Cm. Hymn 88.
tSlanzas 1, 2, and 3 in the music]
4. He spoiled the powers of darkness thus,
And brake our iron chains ; Jesus has freed our captive souls From everlasting pains.
5. 0 ! for this love, let rocks and hills
Their lasting silence break ; And all harmonious human tongues The Saviour's praises speak.
Sel. CIV. Hymn 95.
1. FATHER, how wide thj glory shines !
How high thy wonders rise 1 [signs,
Known through the earth by thousand By thousands through the skies.
2. But when we view thy strange design,
To save rebellious worms ; Where vengeance and compassion join In their divinest forms ; —
3. Here the whole Deity is known,
Nor dares a creature guess, "Which of the glories brightest shone, The justice or the grace.
4. Now' the full glories of the Lamb
Adorn the heavenly plains : Bright seraphs learn Immanuel's name, And try their choicest strains.
5. 0 may I bear some humble part,
In that immortal song ! Wonder and joy shall tune my heart, And love command my tongue.
Sel. CV. Hymn 98.
1. DEAREST of all the names above,
My Jesus and my God, Who can resist thy heavenly love, Or trifle with thy blood ?
2. 'Tis by the merits of thy death
The Father smiles again ; 'Tis by thine interceding breath The Spirit dwells with men.
3. 'Till God in human flesh I see,
My thoughts no comfort find ; The holy, just and sacred Three Are terrors to my mind.
4. But if Immanuel's face appear,
My hope, my joy begins, His name forbids my slavish fear, His grace removes my sins.
5. While Jews on their own law rely,
And Greeks of wisdom boast, I love the incarnate mystery, And there I fix my trust.
Sel. CVL Hymn 119.
1. FIRM as the earth thy Gospel stands,
My Lord, my hope, my trust : If I am found in Jesus hands, My soul can ne'er be lost.
2. His honor is engaged to save
The meanest of his sheep ; All that his heavenly Father gave, His hands securely keep.
3. Nor death nor hell shall e'er remove
His favorites from his breast ; In the dear bosom of his love, They must forever rest.
Sel. CHI. Hymn 348.
1. I'M not ashamed to own my Lord,
Nor to defend his cause, Maintain the honor of his word, The glory of his cross.
2. Jesus, my God, I know his name,
His name is all my trust ; Nor will he put my soul to shame, Nor let my hope be lost.
3. Firm as his throne his promise stands,
And He can well secure What I 've committed to his hands, Till the decisive hour.
4. Then will He own my worthless name,
Before his Father's face, And in the new Jerusalem, Appoint my soul a place.

Hail Him who saves you by his grace, And crown Him Lord of all.

SALVATION! 0 the joyful sound ;

At hell's dark door we lay ; But we arise, by grace divine, To see a heavenly day.
3. Salvation ! let the echo fly
The spacious earth around ;
"While all the armies of the sky
Conspire to raise the sound.*

In latter days shall rise Above the mountains and the hills, And draw the wondering eyes.

All tribes and tongues, shall flow ; " Up to the hill of God," they say. " And to his courts we '11 go."
3. The beams that shine on S ion's hill
Shall lighten every land ; The King who reigns in Sion's towers Shall all the world command.
4. No strife shall vex Messiah's reign,
Or mar the peaceful years ; To plowshares men shall beat their swords, To pruning-hooks their spears.
5. Conn then — 0 come from every land,
To worship at his shrine ; And walking in the light of God, With holy beauties shine.
Sel. CXI. nymn673.

Through all the blissful road ; Till to the sacred mount you rise, And see your smiling God.
3. The garlands of immortal joy
Shall bloom on every head ; "While sorrow, sighing, and distress, Like shadows all are fled,
4. March on in your Redeemer's strength,
Pursue his footsteps still ; And let the prospect cheer your eye, "While laboring up the hill.

In Him unite their rays ; Ye that have e'er beheld his face, Can ye forbear his praise ?

The glories of our King, We long to love as angels do, And wish like them to sing.

When heaven and earth shall raise, With all their powers, the raptured lay, To celebrate thy praise.

And pearly gates behold I Thy bulwarks with salvation strong, And streets of shining gold ?
3. 0 when, thou city of my God,
Shall I thy courts ascend, Where congregations ne'er break up, And Sabbaths have no end.

5. Why should I shrink at pain and woe,
Or feel at death dismay I I 've Canaan's goodly land in view, And realms of endless day.

Around my Saviour stand ; And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band.

[Stanzas 1 and 2 in the music]
3. Let heaven proclaim the joyful day,
Joy through the earth be seen: Let cities shine in bright array, Aud fields in cheerful green.
4. The joyous earth, the bending skies,
His glorious train display ; Ye mountains siuk, ye valleys rise, Prepare the Lord his way.
5. Behold He comes, He comes to bless
The nations as their God ; To show the world his righteousness, And send his truth abroad.
6. His voice shall raise the slumbering dead,
And bid the world draw near ; But how will guilty nations dread To see their Judge appear !
Sel. CXYII. Hymn 326.
1. MY God, the spring of all my joys,
The life of my delights, The glory of my brightest days, And comfort of my nights.
2. In darkest shades if he appear,
My dawning is begun ; He is my soul's bright morning star, And He my rising sun.
3. The opening heavens around me shine
With beams of sacred bliss, While Jesus shows his heart is mine, And whispers I am his.
4. My soul would leave this heavy clay,
At that transporting word ; Run up with joy the shining way, To embrace- my dearest Lord.
5. Fearless of hell and ghastly death,
I 'd break through every foe ; The wings of love and arms of faith Should bear me conqueror through.
Sel. CXVIII. Hymn 337.
1. FROM thee, my God, my joys shall rise,
And run eternal rounds Beyond the limits of the skies, And all created bounds.
2. The holy triumphs of my soul
Shall death itself outbrave,
Leave dull mortality behind,
And fly beyond the grave.
3. There, where my blessed Jesus reigns,
In heaven's unmeasured space, I '11 spend a long eternity In pleasure and in praise.
4. Millions of years my wondering eyes
Shall o'er thy beauties rove, And endless ages I '11 adore The glories of thy love.
5. Sweet Jesus, every smile of thine
Shall fresh endearments bring, And thousand tastes of new delight From all thy graces spring.
6. Haste, my Beloved, fetch my soul
Up to thy blest abode ; Fly, for my spirit iongs to see My Saviour and my God.
Sel. CXG. Hymn 492.
1. DAUGHTER of Sion, from the dust,
Exalt thy fallen head ; Again in thy Redeemer trust, He calls thee from the dead.
2. Awake, awake, put on thy strength,
Thy beautiful array ; The day of freedom dawns at length, The Lord's appointed day.
3. They come, they come — thine exiled bands,
Where'er they rest or roam, Have heard thy voice in distant lands, And hasten to their home.
4. Thus, though the universe shall burn,
And God his works destroy, With songs thy ransomed shall return, And everlasting joy.

Sel. CXI Psalm 47.
[1st stanza in the music]
Jesus, our God, ascends on high ;
His heavenlv guards around Attend Him rising through the sky,
"With trumpet's joyful sound.
While angels shout and praise their King, Let mortals learn their strains ;
Let all the earth his honors sing ; O'er all the earth He reigns.
Rehearse his praise with awe profound ;
Let knowledge guide the song ; Nor mock Him with a solemn sound
Upon a thoughtless tongue.
In Israel stood his ancient throne ;
He loved that chosen race ; But now he calls the world his own,
And heathens taste his grace.
The Gentile nations are the Lord's, There Abraham's God is known ;
"While powers and princes, shields and Submit before his throne. [swords
Sel. CHI. Hymn 259.
[1st stanza omitted.]
A glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic, like the sun; It gives a light to every age,
It gives, but borrows none.
The hand that gave it still supplies That gracious light and heat ;
His truths upon the nations rise ; They rise but never set.
Let everlasting thanks be thine For such a bright display,
As makes a world of darkness shine "With beams of heavenly day.
My soul rejoices to pursue
The steps of him I love, Till glory breaks upon my view
In brighter worlds above.
G3 Sel. CXXn. Hymn 657.
OX Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land,
"Where my possessions lie.
0 the transporting, rapturous scene, That rises to my sight ;
Sweet fields arrayed in living green, And rivers of delight.
There generous fruits, that never fail,
On trees immortal grow ; There rocks and hills, and brooks and vales,
"With milk and honey flow.
On all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day ; There God the Son forever reigns,
And scatters night away.
No chilling winds nor poisonous breath Can reach that healthful shore ;
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and feared no more.
Sel. CXXm. Hymn 674.
GIVE me the wings of faith, to rise
"Within the vail, and see The saints above, how great their joys,
How bright their glories be.
Once they were mourning here below, And wet their couch with tears ;
They wrestled hard, as we do now, With sins, and doubts, and fears.
1 ask them, whence their victory came ? They, with united breath,
Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb, Their triumph to his death.
They marked the footsteps that He trod, His zeal inspired their breast ;
And following their incarnate God, Possessed the promised rest.
Our glorious leader claims our praise
For his own pattern given ; While the long cloud of witnesses
Show the same path to heaven.

5. Now shall my head be lifted high Above my foes around, And songs of joy and victory Within thy temple sound.

Sel. CXXV. Psalm 108, i.
1. AWAKE my soul to sound his praise,
Awake my harp to sing ; Join all my powers the song to raise, And morning incense bring.
2. Among the people of his care,
And through the nations round, Glad songs of praise will I prepare, And there his name resound.
3. Be thou exalted, 0 my God,
Above the starry train ; Diffuse thy heavenly grace abroad, And teach the world thy reign.
4. So shall thy chosen sons rejoice,
And throng thy courts above ; While sinners hear thy pardoning voice, And taste redeeming love.
Sel. CXXVL Psalm 118, iv.
1. THIS is the day the Lord hath made,
He calls the hours his own ; Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad, And praise surround the throne.
2. To-day He rose and left the dead,
And Satan's empire fell ; To-day the saints his triumph spread, And all his wonders tell.
3. Hosanna to th' anointed King,
To David's holy Son ; Help us, 0 Lord, descend and bring Salvation from thy throne.
4. Blest is the Lord who comes to men
With messages of grace ; Who comes in God his Father's name, To save our sinful race.
5. Hosanna in the highest strains
The church on earth can raise ; The highest heavens, in which He reigns, Shall give Him nobler praise.
Sel. CXXTIL Psalm 119, xiii.
1. WITH my whole heart I 've sought thy 0 ! let me never stray [face,
From thy commands, 0 God of grace, Nor tread the sinner's way.
2. Thy word I 've hid within my heart,
To keep my conscience clean, To be an everlasting guard From every rising sin.
3. I 'm a companion of the saints
Who fear and love the Lord ; My sorrows rise, my nature faints, When men transgress thy word.
4. While sinners do thy Gospel wrong,
My spirit stands in awe ; My soul abhors a lying tongue, But loves thy righteous law.
5. My heart with sacred reverence hears
The threatenings of thy word ; My flesh with holy trembling fears The judgments of the Lord.
6. My God, I long, I hope, I wait
For thy salvation still ; While thy whole law is my delight, And I obey thy wilh
Sel. CXXVin. Psalm 132, ii.

4. Arise, 0 King of grace, arise,
And enter to thy rest ; Lo ! thy church waits with longing eyes, Thus to be owned and blest.
5. Enter, with all thy glorious train,
Thy Spirit and thy word ; All that the ark did once contain Could no such grace afford.
6. Here, mighty God, accept our vows,
Here let thy praise be spread ; Bless the provisions of thy house, And fill thy poor with bread.
7. Here let the Son of David reign,
Let God's Anointed shine ; Justice and truth his court maintain, With love and power divine.
8. Here let Him hold a lasting throne,
And as his kingdom grows, Fresh honors shall adorn his crown, And shame confound his foes.

[Stanzas 1 and 2 in the music]
3. I pay this evening sacrifice ;
And when my work is done, Great God, my "faith and hope relies Upon thy grace alone.
4. Thus with my thoughts composed to peace
I '11 give mine eyes to sleep ; Thy hand in safety keeps my days, And will my slumbers keep.
Sel. CXXX. Hymn 64.
1. COME, humble sinner, in whose breast
A thousand thoughts revolve ; Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed, And make this last resolve :
2. " I '11 go to Jesus, though my sin
High as a mountain rose ; I know his courts, I '11 enter in, Whatever may oppose.
3 " Prostrate I '11 lie before his throne,
And there my guilt confess ;
I '11 tell him I'm a wretch undone
Without his sovereign grace.
4. " I '11 to the gracious King approach,
Whose scepter pardon gives : Perhaps He may command my touch, And then the suppliant lives.
5. " Perhaps He will admit my plea,
Perhaps will hear my prayer ; But if I perish, I will pray, And perish only there.
6. " I can but perish if I go,
I am resolved to try ; For if I stay away, I know I must forever die."
Sel.CIXXI. Hymn 392.
1. O ! FOR a closer walk with God,
A calm and heavenly frame ; A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb.
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.
Scl. CXXXIL Hymn 533.
1. HOW sweet and awful is the place
With Christ within the doors, While everlasting love displays The choicest of her stores !
2. While all our hearts, in this our song,
Join to admire the feast, Each of us cries, with thankful tongue, " Lord, why was I a guest ?"
3. " Why was I made to hear thy voice,
And enter while there 's room ; When thousands make a wretched choice, And rather starve than come ?"
4. 'Twas the same love that spread the feast
That sweetly forced us in : Else we had still refused to taste, And perished in our sin.
5. Pity the nations, 0 our God,
Constrain the earth to come ;
Send thy victorious word abroad,
And bring the strangers home.
6. We long to see thy churches full,
That all the chosen race May, with one voice, and heart, and soul, Sing thy redeeming grace.

[Stanzas 1—3 in the music]
4. What if the springs of life were broke,
And flesh and heart should faint, God is rny soul's eternal rock, The strength of every saint.
5. Behold ! the sinners that remove
Far from thy presence, die : Not all the idol-gods they love Can save them when they cry.
6. But to draw near to thee, my God,
Shall be my sweet employ ; My tongue shall sound thy works abroad, And tell the world my joy.
Sel.CXHIV. Hymn 371.
1. FATHER, whate'er of earthly bliss
Thy sovereign will denies, Accepted at thy throne of grace, Let this petition rise : —
2. Give me a calm, a thankful heart,
From every murmur free ; The blessings of thy grace impart, And make me live to thee.
3. Let the sweet hope that thou art mine
My life and death attend ; Thy presence through my journey shine, And crown my journey's end.
Sel. CXXXV. Hymn 466.
1. O GOD of Bethel, by whose hand
Thy people still are fed ; Who through this weary pilgrimage Hast all our fathers led ;
2. Our vows, our prayers, we now present
Before thy throne of grace ; God of our fathers, be the God Of their succeeding race.
3. Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide ; Give us each day our daily bread, And raiment fit provide.
4. 0 spread thy covering wings around,
Till all our wanderings cease, And at our Father's loved abode Our souls arrive in peace.
5. Such blessings from thy gracious hand Our humble prayers implore ; And thou shalt be our chosen God, And portion evermore.
Sel. mm Hymn 532.
1. THE promise of my Father's love
Shall stand forever good ; He said, and gave his soul to death, And sealed the grace with blood.
2. To this dear covenant of thy word
I set my worthless name ; I seal the engagement to my Lord, And make my humble claim.
3. Thy light, and strength, and pardoning
And glory shall be mine ; [grace,
My life and soul, my heart and flesh, And all my powers are thine.
4. I call that legacy my own
Which Jesus did bequeath ; 'Twas purchased with a dying groan, And ratified in death.
5. Sweet is the memory of his name
Who blessed us in his will, And to Ms testament of love Made his own blood the seal.
Sel. CXXXYII. Hymn 619.
1. HEAR what the voice from heaven pro-
For all the pious dead ; [claims
Sweet is the savor of their names, And soft their sleeping bed.
2. They die in Jesus, and are blest
How calm their slumbers are ! From sufferings and from sin released, And freed from every snare.
3. Far from this world of toil and strife,
They 're present with the Lord ; The labors of their mortal life End in a large reward.

Sel. fXXXVIII. Hymn 193.
[Stanzas 1 and 2 in the Music]
3. The almighty Former of the skies
Stooped to our vile abode ; "While angels viewed with wondering And hailed the incarnate God.
4. 0 the rich depths of love divine !
Of bliss a boundless store ! Dear Saviour, let me call thee mine ; I can not wish for more.
6. On thee alone my hope relies, Beneath thy cross I fall ; My Lord, my Life, my Sacrifice, My Saviour, and my All !
Sel. CmEL Hymn 330.
1. HOW sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear ! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his fear.
2. It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast ; 'Tis manna to the hungry soul, And to the weary rest.
3. Dear Name, the Rock on which I build,
My shield and hiding-place ; My never-failing treasury, filled With boundless stores of grace.
4. Jesus, my Shepherd, Husband, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest, and King ; My Lord, my Life, my way, my End, Accept the praise I bring.
5. Weak is the effort of my heart,
And cold my warmest thought ; But when I see thee as thou art, I '11 praise thee as I ought.
6. Till then I would thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath ; And may the music of thy name Refresh my soul in death.
Sel. CXL. Hymn 338.
1. O ! FOR a thousand tongues to sing My dear Redeemer's praise ; The glories of my God and King, The triumphs of his grace.
71
2. My gracious Master, and my God,
Assist me to proclaim, To spread through all the earth abroad The honors of thy name.
3. Jesus, the name that calms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease ; 'T is music in the sinner's ears : 'T is life, and health, and peace.
4. He breaks the power of reigning sin;
He sets the prisoner free ; His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood availed for me.
5. Let us obey, we then shall know,
Shall feel our sins forgiven : Anticipate our heaven below, And own that love is heaven.
Sel. CXLI. Hymn 537.
1. ACCORDING to thy gracious word.
In meek humility This will I do, my dying Lord — I will remember thee.
2. Thy body, broken for my sake,
My bread from heaven shall be ; -Thy testamental cup I take, And thus remember thee.
3. Gethsemane can I forget,
Or there thy conflict see,
Thine agony and bloody sweat,
And not remember thee ?
4. When to the cross I turn mine eyes,
And rest on Calvary, 0 Lamb of God, my sacrifice, I must remember thee :
5. Remember thee, and all thy pains,
And all thy love to me ; Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains, Will I remember thee.
6. And when these failing lips grow dumb
And mind and memory flee, When thou shalt in thy kingdom come, Jesus, remember me.

[Stanzas 1 and 2 in the music]
3. Yet I may plead with bumble cries,
Remove tby sbarp rebukes : My strength consumes, my spirit dies, Through thy repeated strokes.
4. Crushed as a moth beneath thy hand,
We molder to the dust ; Our feeble powers can ne'er withstand, And all our beauty 's lost.
5. I 'm but a stranger here below,
As all my fathers were ; May I be well prepared to go, When I the summons hear !
5. An 1 if my life be spared awhile Before my last remove, Thy praise shall be my busiaess still, And I '11 declare thy love.
SeL CXL1II. Psalm 130, i.
LStanzas 5 and 6 omitted.]
1. OUT of the deeps of long distress,
The borders of despair, I sent my cries to seek thy grace, My groans to reach thine ear.
2. Great God, should thy severer eye,
And thine impartial hand,
Mark and revenge iniquity, Xo mortal flesh could stand.
3. But there are pardons with my God
For crimes of high degree ; Thy Son hath bought them with his blood, To draw us near to thee.
4. I wait for thy salvation, Lord,
"With strong desires I wait ; My soul, invited by thy word, Stands watching at thy gate.
1. Then in the Lord let Israel trust, Let Israel seek his face ; The Lord is good as well as just, And plenteous is his grace.
8. There 's full redemption at his throne For sinners long enslaved ; The great Redeemer is his Son, And Israel shall be saved.
SeL CXL1Y. Hymn 72.
1. O THOU, whose tender mercy hears
Contrition's humble sigh ; "Whose hand indulgent wipes the tears From sorrow's weeping eye :
2. See, low before thy throne of grace,
A wretched wanderer mourn ; Hast thou not bid me seek thy face ? Hast thou not said — Return ?
3. And shall my guilty fears prevail
To drive me from thy feet ? 0 ! let not this dear refuge fail, This only safe retreat.
4. Absent from thee, my Guide, my Light,
Without one cheering ray ; Through dangers, tears, and gloomy night, How desolate my way !
5. 0 ! shine on this benighted heart :
With beams of mercy shine ! And let thy healing voice impart A taste of joys divine.
SeL CXLT. Hymn 622.
1. WHY do we mourn departing friends,
Or shake at deaths alarms ? 'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends To call them to his arms.
2. Are we not tending upward too,
As fast as time can move ? Xor should we wish our hours more slow, To keep us from our love.
3. Why should we tremble to convey
Their bodies to the tomb ? There the dear flesh of Jesus lay, And left a long perfume.
4. The graves of all the saints He blest,
And softened every bed ; Where should the dying members rest, But with their dying Head '.
5. Thence He arose, ascending high,
And showed our feet the way ; Up to the Lord our flesh shall fly At the great rising day.

2. Blest be the Lamb, my dearest Lord,
Who bought me with his blood, And quenched his Father's flaming sword In his own vital flood.
8. All glory to the dying Lamb, And never ceasing praise ; While angels live to know his name, Or saints to feel his grace.
Sel. OLE. Hymn 549.
HAIL, mighty Jesus, how divine
Is thy victorious sword ! The stoutest rebel must resign
At thy commanding word.
Deep are the wounds thine arrows give, They pierce the hardest heart ;
Thy smiles of grace the slain revive, And joy succeeds to smart.
Still gird thy sword upon thy thigh,
Ride with majestic sway ; Go forth, great Prince, triumphantly,
And make thy foes obey.
And when thy victories are complete,
And all the chosen race Shall round the throne of mercy meet,
To sing thy conquering grace ;
0 may my humble soul be found
Among that favored band ; And I, with them, thy praise will sound,
Throughout Immanuers land.

In Satan's bondage held ; The gates of brass before Him burst, The iron fetters yield.
4. He comes from thickest films of vice
To clear the inward sight ; And on the eyes obscured by sin To pom- celestial light.
5. He comes the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure ; And with the treasures of his grace To enrich the humble poor.
6. Our glad Hosannas. Prince of Peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim; And heaven s eternal arches ring "With thy beloved name.
Sel, DLL Hymn 490.
1. HOW glorious is the sacred place
Where we adoring stand;
Sion, the joy of all the earth,
The beauty of the land.
2. Bulwarks of m'ghty grace defend
The city where we dwell ; The walls, of strong salvation made, Defy the assaults of hell.
3. Lift up the everlasting gates,
The doors wide open fling ; Enter ye nations that obey The statutes of your King.
4. Here shall you taste unmingled joys,
And live in perfect peace ; You that have known Jehovah's name, And ventured on his grace.
Trust in the Lord, forever trust,
And banish all your fears ; Strength in the Lord Jehovah dwells,
Eternal as his years.
Sel. CLII. Hymn 491.
LO ! what a srlorious sight appears
To our believing eyes ! The earth and seas are passed away,
And the old rolling skies.
From the third heaveu where God resides,
That holy, happy place, The new Jerusalem comes down,
Adorned with shining grace.
Attending angels shout for joy,
And the bright armies sing ; " Mortals, behold the sacred seat
Of your descending King.
" The God of glory down to men
Removes his blest abode ; Men, the dear objects of his grace,
And He the loving God
■* His own soft hand shall wipe the tears
From every weeping eye ; And pains and groans, and griefs and fears,
And death itself shall die."
How long, dear Saviour, 0 how long
Shall this bright hour delay ] Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time,
And bring the welcome day.
Sel. CLffl. Hymn 573.
COME. Lord, and warm each languid heart,
Inspire each lifeless tongue ; And let the joys of heaven impart
Their influence to our song.
Come, Lord, thy love alone can raise
In us the heavenly flame ; Then shall our lips resound thy praise,
Our hearts adore thy name.
Dear Saviour, let thy glory shine,
And fill thy dwellings here, Till life, and love, and joy divine,
A heaven on earth appear.

Scl. CLIV. Hymn 58.
[Stanzas 1 and S omitted.]
2. I Baw one hanging on a tree,
In agonies and blood ; "Who fixed his languid eyes on me, As near his cross I stood.
3. Sure, never to my latest breath,
Can I forget that look ; It seemed to charge me with his death, Though not a word he spoke.
4. My conscience felt and owned the guilt,
And plunged me in despair ;
I saw my sins Ins blood had spilt,
And helped to nail Him there.
5. Alas ! I knew not what I did,
But now my tears are rain ; "Where shall my trembling soul be hid ? For I the Lord have slain.
6. A second look He gave, which said,
" I freely all forgive ; This blood is for thy ransom paid ; I die, that thou mayst live."
7. Thus, while his death my sin displays
In all its blackest hue, Such is the mystery of grace, It seals my pardon too.
Scl. CLV, flyiiin59.
1. ALAS ! and did my Saviour bleed,
And did my Sovereign die ? "Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I ?
2. Thy body slain, dear Jesus, thine,
And bathed in its own blood, "While all exposed to wrath divine, The glorious sufferer stood.
3. "Was it for crimes that I had done,
He groaned upon the tree ]
Amaziug pity ! grace unknown !
And love beyond degree !
4. "Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut his glories in, "When God, the mighty Maker, died, For man, the creature's sin.
5. Thus might I hide my blushing face,
"While his dear cross appeals. Dissolve my heart iu thaukfuluess, Aud melt my eyea to tears.
6. But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe : Here, Lord. I give myself away ; 'Tis all that I can do.
Sel. CLVL IIywii3e37.
1. JESUS, my Saviour, bind me fast,
In cords of heavenly love ; Then sweetly draw me to thy breast, Nor let me thence removed
2. Draw me from all created good,
From self, the world, and sin ; To the dear fountain of thy blood, And make me pure within.
3. 0 lead me to thy mercy-seat,
Attract me nearer still ; Draw me, like Mary, to thy feet, - To sit and learn thy will.
4. 0 draw me by thy providence,
Thy Spirit and thy word, From all the things of time and sense, To thee, my gracious Lord.
Sel. Cim. Hymn 426.
1. MY times of sorrow and of joy,
Great God. are in thy hand ; All my enjoyments come from thee, And go at thy command.
2. 0 Lord, shouldst thou withhold them all,
Yet would I not repine ; Before they were by me possessed, They were entirely thine.
3. Nor would I drop a murmuring word
If all the world were gone, But seek substantial happiness, In thee and thee alone.

[Stanzas 1 and 2 in the music]
3. In each event of life, how clear
Thy ruling hand I see ; Each blessing to my soul most dear, Because conferred by thee.
4. In every joy that crowns my days,
In every pain I bear, My heart shall find delight in praise, Or seek relief in prayer.
5. "When gladness wings the favored hour,
Thy love my thoughts shall fill ; Resigned, when storms of sorrow lower. My soul shall meet thy will.
6. My lifted eye, without a tear,
The gathering storm shall see, My steadfast heart shall know no fear ; That heart will rest on thee.
Sel. CLG. Hymn 431.
1. WHEN languor and disease invade
This trembling house of clay, 'Tis sweet to look beyond my pains, And long to fly away.
2. Sweet to look inward, and attend
The whispers of his love ;
4*
Sweet to look upward, to the place Where Jesus pleads above.
3. Sweet to look back, and see my name
In life's fair book set down ; Sweet to look forward, and behold Eternal joys my own.
4. Sweet to reflect how grace divine
My sins on Jesus laid ; Sweet to remember that his blood My debt of suffering paid.
5. Sweet in his righteousness to stand,
Which saves from second death ; Sweet to experience, day by day, His Spirit's quickening breath.
6. Sw eet on his faithfulness to rest,
"Whose love can never end; Sweet on his covenant of grace For all tilings to depend.
7. Sweet in the confidence of faith
To trust his firm decrees ; Sweet to lie passive in his hands, And know no will but his.
8. If such the sweetness of the streams,
What must the fountain be ; Where saints and angels draw their bliss Immediatelv from thee !

5. Amid surrounding foes
Thou dost my table spread, My cup with blessings overflows, And joy exalts my head.

Shall crown my following days ; Nor from thy house will I remove, Nor cease to speak thy praise.
St!. CLXYI. Hymn 89.
1. NOT all the blood of beasts
On Jewish altars slain, Could give the guilty conscience peace, Or wash away the stain.
2. But Christ, the heavenly Lamb,
Takes all our sins away ; A sacrifice of nobler name, And richer blood than they.

On that dear head of thine, While like a penitent I stand, And there confess my sin.
4. My soul looks back to see
The burdens thou didst bear When hanging on the cursed tree, And hopes her guilt vrds there.
5. Believing, we rejoice
To see the curse remove ; We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice And sing his bleeding love.
Sel. CLXVII. Hymn 110.
1. BEHOLD, what wondrous grace

To call them sons of God.
2. 'Tis no surprising thing

3. Nor doth it yet appear
How great we must be made : But when we see our Saviou^ here We shall be like our head.
4. A hope so much divine
May trials well endure, May purge our souls from sense and sin, As Christ the Lord is pure.
5. If in my Father's love
I share a filial part, Send down thy Spirit like a dove, To rest upon my heart.
6. We would no longer lie
Like slaves beneath the throne ; My faith shall Abba, Father, cry, And thou the kindred own.
Sel. CLXYIII. Hymn 457.
1. HOW charming is the place
Where my Redeemer God
Unvails the beauties of his face,
And sheds his love abroad !
2. Not the fair palaces
To which the great resort Are once to be compared with this, Where Jesus holds his court.
3. Here on the mercy-seat,
With radiant glory crowned, Our joyful eyes behold Him sit, And smile on all around.
4. To Him their prayers and cries
All humble souls present ; He listens to the broken sighs, And grants them all they want.
5. To them his sovereign will
He graciously imparts ; , And in return accepts with smiles The tribute of their hearts.
6. Give me, O Lord, a place
Within thy blest abode, Among the children of thy grace, The servants of my God.

2. 0 ! bless the Lord, my soul,
Nor let his mercies lie Forgotten in unthankfulness, And without praises die.
3. Tis He forgives thy sins,
Tis Ee relieves thy pain, 'Tis He that heals thy sicknesses, And makes thee young again.
4. He crowns thy life with love,
"When ransomed from the grave ; He that redeemed my soul from hell Hath sovereign power to save.
SeL CLXXI. Psalm 103, it.
1. MY soul, repeat his praise,
"Whose mercies are so great ; Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate.
2. God will not always chide ;
And when his strokes are felt, His strokes are fewer than our crimes, And lighter than our guilt.
3. High as the heavens are raised
Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of his grace Our highest thoughts exceed.
4. His power subdues our sins ;
And his forgiving love, Far as the east is from the west, Doth all our guilt remove.
5. The pity of the Lord
To those that fear his Eame,
Is such as tender parents feel ;
He knows our feeble frame.
6. He knows we are but dust,
Scattered with every breath : His auger, like a rising wind, Can send us swift to death.
1. Our days are as the grass,
Or like the morning flower : If one sharp blast sweeps o'er the field It withers in an hour.
8. But thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure ; And children's children ever find Thy words of promise sure.
Sel, CLXXII. Psalm 137, ii.
1. I LOYE thy kingdom, Lord,
The house of thine abode ; The church our blest Redeemer saved With his own precious blood.
2. I love thy church, 0 God !
Her walls before thee stand, Dear as the apple of thine eye, And graven on thy hand.
3. If e'er to bless thy sons,
My voice or hands deny, These hands let useful skill forsake, This voice in silence die.
4. If e'er my heart forget
Her welfare or her woe, Let every joy this heart forsake, And every grief o'erflow.
5. For her my tears shall fall ;
For her my prayers ascend : To her my cares and toils he given, Till toils and cares shall end.
6. Beyond my highest joy
1 prize her heavenly ways ; Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise.
7. Jesus, thou friend divine,
Our Saviour and our King, Thy hand from every snare and foe Shall great deliverance bring.
8. Sure as thy truth shall last,
To Sion'shall be given The brightest glories earth can yield, And brighter blis3 of heaven.

The worship of thy court, The cheerful songs, the solemn vows, And make a fair report.
5. How decent and how wise I
How glorious to behold ! Beyond the pomp that charms the eyes, And rites adorned with gold.
6. The God we worship now
Will guide us till we die ; Will be our God while here below, And ours above the sky.

His honors are divine ; His church shall make his wonders known, For there his glories shine.

How terrible his praise ! Justice, and truth, and judgment join In all his works of grace.
Sel. CLXXYI. Psalm 118, y.
1. SEE what a living stone
The builder's did refuse Yet God hath built his church thereon In spite of envious Jews.
2. The scribe and angry priest
Reject thine only Son ; Yet on this Rock shall Sion rest, As the chief corner-stone.
3. The work, 0 Lord, is thine,
And wondrous in our eyes : This day declares it all divine, This day did Jesus rise.
4. This is the glorious day
That our Redeemer made ; Let us rejoice, and sing, and pray ; Let all the church be glad.
5. Hosanna to the King
Of David's royal blood : Bless him, ye saints ; He comes to bring Salvation from your God.
6. We bless thine holy word,
Which all this grace displays; And offer on thine altar, Lord, Our sacrifice of praise.
Scl. CLXXYIL Hymn 164.
[Stanzas 2 — 4 omitted.] 1. COME, we that love the Lord, And let our joys be known ; Join in a song with sweet accord, And thus surround the throne.
5. The men of grace have found
Glory begun below : Celestial fruits on earthly ground From faith and hope may grow.
6. The hill of Sion yields
A thousand sacred sweets, Before we reach the heavenly fields, Or walk the golden streets.
7. Then let our songs abound,
And every tear be dry ; We're marching through Immanuel's ground To fairer worlds on high.

Psalm 95, ii.
[Slanzas 1—3 in the music]
4. To-day attend his Toice,
Xor dare provoke his rod ; Come, lite the people of his choice, And ovn your gracious God.
5. But if your ears refuse
The language of his grace, And hearts grow hard, like stubborn Jews,
That unbelieving race :
i 6 The Lord, in vengeance drest, "Will lift his hand and swear, " You that despise my promised rest, Shall have no portion there."
Sel. CLXXIX. Hymn 87.
1. GRACE ! *t is a charming sound.
Harmonious to mine ear : Heaven with the echo shall resound, And all the earth shall hear.
2. Grace first contrived the way
To save rebellious man ; And all the steps that grace display, Which drew the wondrous plan.
3. Grace first inscribed my name
In God's eternal book ; 'T was grace that gave me to the Lamb, Who all my sorrows took.
4. Grace led my roving feet
To tread the heavenly road ; And new supplies each hour I meet, While pressing on to God.
5. Grace taught my soul to pray,
And made my eyes overflow; 'T was grace that kept me to this day, And will not let me go.
6. Grace all the work shall crown,
Througli everlasting days ; It lays in heaven the topmost stone, And well deserves the praise.
Sel. CLXXX. Hymn 175.
1. RAISE your triumphant songs To an immortal tune, Let the wide earth resound the deeds Celestial grace has done.
95
2. Sing how eternal love
Its cbief Beloved chose, And bade Him raise our wretched race From their abyss of woes.
3. His hand no thunder bears,
Xor terror clothes his brow ; Xo bolts to drive our guiltv souls To fiercer flames below/
4. 'T was mercy filled the throne,
And wrath stood silent by, When Christ was sent with pardons down To rebels doomed to die.
5. Xow, sinners, dry your tears,
Let hopeless sorrow cease ; Bow to the scepter of his love, And take the offered peace.
6. Lord, we obey thy call ;
We lay an humble claim To the salvation thou hast brought, And love and praise thy name.
Sel. CLXXXI. Hymn 265.
1. COME. Holy Spirit, come ;
Let thy bright beams arise ; Dispel the darkness from our minds, And open thou our eyes.
2. Revive our drooping faith ;
Our doubts and fears remove ; And kindle in our breasts the flame Of never-dying love.
3. Convince us of our sin,
Then lead to Jesus' blood ; And to our wondering view reveal The gracious love of God.
4. 'Tis thine to cleanse the heart,
To sanctify the soul, To pour fresh life on every part, And new create the whole.
5. Dwell, therefore, in our hearts ;
Our minds from bondage free ; Then shall we know, and praise, and love, The Father, Son, and Thee.

1. 0! BLESSED souh are they
Whose sins are covered o'er,
Divinely blest, to whom the Lord
Imputes their guilt no more.
2. They mourn their follies past,
And keep their hearts with care ; Their lips and lives without deceit Shall prove tiaeir faith sincere.
3. While I concealed my guilt,
I felt the festering wound, Till I confessed my sins to thee, And ready pardon found.
4. Let sinners learn to pray,
Let saints keep near the throne ; Our help in times of deep distress, Is found in God alone.
Sel. CLXnni. Hymn 342.
1. BLEST be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love ; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above.
2. Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent pravers : Our fears, our hopes, our amis are one, Our comforts and our cares.
3. We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear, And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear.
i. When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain ; But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again.
5. This glorious hope revive*
Our courage by the way ; While each in expectation lives, And longs to see the day.
6. From sorrow, toil, and pain,
And sin we shall be free ; And perfect love and friendship reign. Through all eternity.

5. Turn, turn us, mighty God, And mold our souls afresh ; Break, sovereign grace, these hearts of And give us hearts of flesh. [stone
5. Let past ingratitude
Provoke our weeping eyes, And hourly as new mercies fall, Let hourly thanks arise.

1. YOUR harps, ye trembling saints,
Down from the willows take ; Loud to the praise of love divine, Bid every string awake.
2. Though in a foreign land,
We are not far from home, And nearer to our house above We every moment come.
3. His grace will, to the end,
Stronger and brighter shine ; Nor present things, nor things to come, Shall quench the love divine.
4. When we in darkness walk,
Nor feel the heavenly flame ; Then is the time to trust our God, And rest upon his name.
5. Soon shall our doubt* and fears
Subside, at his control : His loving-kindness shall break through The midnight of the soul.
6. Blest is the man, 0 God,
That stays himself on thee ; Who waits for thy salvation, Lord, Shall thy salvation see.

4. Lord, what is worthless man,

And wondrous are thy ways : Of dust and worms thy power can frame A monument of praise.
Sel. CLXXXYII. Psalm 19, ii.
[The first four stanzas.]
1. BEHOLD, the morning sun
Begins his glorious way ; His beams through all the nations run, And life and light convey.
2. But where the Gospel comes,
It spreads diviner light ; It calls dead sinners from their tombs, And gives the blind their sight.
3. How perfect is thy word !
And all thy judgments just; Forever sure thy promise, Lord, And men securely trust.
4. My gracious God, how plain
Are thy directions given ! O ! may I never read in vain, But find the path to heaven !
Sel. CLXXXVIII. Hymn 118.
1. TO God, the only wise,
Our Saviour and our King, Let all the saints below the skies Their humble praises bring.
2. 'T is his almighty love,
His counsel and his care, Preserves us safe from sin and death, And every hurtful snare.
3. He will present our souls,
Unblemished and complete, Before the glory of his face, With joys divinely great.
99
4. Then all the chosen seed
Shall meet around the throne ;
Shall bless the conduct of his grace,
And make his wonders known.
5. To our Redeemer God
Wisdom and power belongs, Immortal crowns of majesty, And everlasting songs.
Sel. CLXXXIX. Hymn 295.
1. MY soul, be on thy guard,
Ten thousand foes arise ; And hosts of sins are pressing hard, To draw thee from the skies.
2. 0 watch, and fight, and pray,
The battle ne'er give o'er ; Renew it boldly every day, And help divine implore.
3. Ne'er think the victory won,
Nor once at ease sit down ; Thy arduous work will not be done Till thou hast got the crown.
4. Fight on, my soul, till death
Shall bring thee to thy God ; He '11 take thee, at thy parting breath, Up to his blest abode.
Sel. CXC. Hymn 373.
1. AWAKE, and sing the song
Of Moses and the Lamb ; Wake, every heart, and every tongue, To praise the Saviour's name.
2. Sing of his dying love,
Sing of his rising power ; Sing how He intercedes above For those whose sins He bore.
3. Sing on your heavenly way,
Ye ransomed sinners, sing ; Sing on, rejoicing every day In Christ, the eternal King.
4. Soon shall we hear Him say,
" Ye blessed children, come !"
Soon will He call us hence away,
And take his wanderers home.

Sel. CXCL Hymn 23.
[Stanzas 1 and 2 in the music]
3. The smilings of thy face
How amiable they are ! 'T is heaven to rest in thy embrace, And nowhere else but there.
4. To thee, and thee alone,
The angels owe their bliss ; They sit around thy gracious throne, And dwell where Jesus is.
5. Not all the harps above
Can make a heavenly place, If God his residence remove, Or but conceal his face.
6. Nor earth, nor all the sky,
Can one delight afford ; Xo. not a drop of real joy Without thy presence, Lord.
T. Thou art the sea of love,
Where all my pleasures roll; The circle where my passions move, And center of my souL
8. To thee my spirits fly With infinite desire ; And yet how far from thee I lie ! Dear Jesus, raise me higher.
Sel. CXCn. Hymn 231.
1. LIKE sheep we went astray,
And broke the fold of God ; Each wandering in a different way, But all the downward road.
2. How dreadful was the hour
When God our wanderings laid, And did at once his vengeance pour Upon the Shepherd's head !
3. How glorious was the grace
When Christ sustained the stroke ! His life and blood the Shepherd pays A ransom for the flock.
4. His honor and his breath
Were taken both away ; Joined with the wicked in his death, And made as vile as they.
5. But God shall raise his head
O'er all the sons of men, And make Him see a numerous seed To recompense his pain.
6. " I '11 give Him," saith the Lord,
" A portion with the strong ;
He shall possess a large reward,
And hold his honors long."
Sel. CXCni. Hymn 485.
1. WELCOME, sweet day of rest,
That saw the Lord arise ; Welcome to this reviving breast, And these rejoicing eyes.
2. The King himself comes near,
And feasts his saints to-day ; Here we may sit, and see Him here, And love and praise and pray.
3. One day amid the place
Where my dear God hath been Is sweeter than ten thousand days Of pleasurable sin.
4. My willing soul would stay In such a frame as this, And sit and sing herself away To everlasting bliss.
Sel. CXCIV. Hynin650.
1. PREPARE me, gracious God,
To stand before thy face ; Thy Spirit must the work perform, For it is all of grace.
2. In Christ's obedience clothe,
And wash me in his blood: So shall I lift my head with joy, Among the sons of God.
3. Do thou my sins subdue,
Thy sovereign love make known ; The spirit of my mind renew, And save me in thy Son.
4. Let me attest thy power,
Let me thy goodness prove, Till my full soul can hold no more Of everlasting love.

Till evening shades arise, For thy salvation, Lord, I wait, "With ever-longing eyes.
4. Remember all thy grace,
And lead me in thy truth : Forgive the sins of riper days, And follies of my youth.
5. The Lord is just and kind,
The meek shall learn his ways, And every humble sinner find The methods of his grace.
6. For his own goodness' sake
He saves my soul from shame ; He pardons, though my guilt be great, Through my Redeemer's name.

1. LET sinners take their course,
And choose the road to death ; But in the worship of my God I '11 spend my daily breath.

"When morning brings the light ; I seek his blessing every noon, And pay my vows at night.
3. Thou wilt regard my cries,
0 my eternal God ! "While sinners perish in surprise Beneath thine angry rod
4. Because they dwell at ease,
And no sad changes feel, They neither fear nor trust thy name, Nor learn to do thy will.

The children of his love ; The ground on which their safety stands No earthly power can move.

To meet the wrath of heaven ; But, in his righteousness arrayed, "We see our sins forgiven.
3. Unholy and impure
Are all our thoughts and ways ; His hands infected nature cure, "With sanctifying grace.
4. The powers of hell agree
To hold our souls in vain ; He sets the sons of bondage free, And breaks the accursed chain.
5. Lord, we adore thy ways
To bring us near to God ; Thy sovereign power, thy healing grace, And thy atoning blood.
Sel. CXCVin. Hyum642.
1. AND must this body die,
This mortal frame decay ? And must these active limbs of mine Lie moldering in the clay ?
2. God my Redeemer lives,
And often from the skies Looks down and watches all my dust Till He shall bid it rise.
3. Arrayed in glorious grace
Shall these vile bodies shine, And every shape and every face Look heavenly and divine.
4. These lively hopes we owe
To Jesus' dying love ; "We would adore his grace below, And sing his power above.
6. Dear Lord, accept the praise
Of these, our humble songs, Till tunes of nobler sound we raise "With our immortal tongues.

Yet we rejoice to hear his name,
And love Him in his word.
2. On earth we want the sight
Of our Redeemer's face ; Yet, Lord, our inmost thoughts delight To dwell upon thy grace.
3. And when we taste thy love,
Our joys divinely grow, Unspeakable, like those above, And heaven begins below.

Who stand on Sion's hill, "Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal !

How sweet their tidings are ! " Sion, behold thy Saviour King, He reigns and triumphs here."
3. How happy are our ears

4. How blessed are our eyes

Maintains our fainting breath, By union with our living Lord, And interest in his death.

Of the same broken bread ; One body hath its several limbs, But Jesus is the head.

His glorious name to raise : Pleasure and love fill every mind, And every voice be praise

Sel.CCV. Hymn 49.
1. AH ! how shall fallen man
Be just before bis God ? If be contend in righteousness, We fall beneath his rod
2. If He our ways should mark
With strict inquiring eyes, Could we for one of thousand faults A just excuse devise ?
3. All-seeing, powerful God,
Who can with thee contend; Or who that tries the unequal strife Shall prosper in the end ?
4. The mountains, in thy wrath,
Their ancient seats forsake ; The trembling earth deserts her place, Her rooted pillars shake.
5. Ah ! how shall guilty man
Contend with such a God ! None, none can meet Him and escape, But through the Saviour's blood.
M, CCVL Hymn 140.
1. AND will the Judge descend ?
And must the dead arise ? And not a single soul escape His all-discerning eyes !
2. How will my heart endure
The terrors of that day, When earth and heaven, before his face, Astonished shrink away ?
3. But ere that trumpet shakes
The mansions of the dead, Hark, from the Gospel's cheering sound, What joyful tidings spread !
4. Ye sinners, seek his grace,
Whose wrath ye can not bear ! Fly to the shelter of his eross, And find salvation there.
5. So shall that curse remove
By which the Saviour bled ; And the last awful day shall pour His blessings on your head.
Sel. CCV1I. Hymn 324.
0 WHERE shall rest be found,
Rest for the weary 6oul ? 'T were vain the ocean depths to sound,
Or pierce to either pole : The world can never give
The bliss for which we sigh ; 'T is not the whole of life to live,
Nor all of death to die.
2. Beyond this vale of tears
There is a life above, Unmeasured by the flight of years ;
And all that life is love. There is a death whose pang
Outlasts the fleeting breath ; 0 what eternal horrors hang
Around " the second death l"
3. Lord God of truth and grace,
Teach us that death to shun, Lest we be banished from thy face,
And evermore undone. Here would we end our quest :
Alone are found in thee, The life of perfect love, the rest
Of immortality.
Sel. CCVIII. Hymn 497.
0 ! CEASE, my wandering soul, On restless wing to roam ;
All the wide world to either pole, Has not for thee a home.
Behold the ark of God, Behold the open door ;
Hasten to gain that dear abode, And rove, my soul, no more.
There, safe thou shalt abide, There, sweet shall be thy rest,
And every longing satisfied, With full salvation blest.

Sel. CCEL Hymn 233.
1. DID Christ o'er sinners weep?
And shall our cheeks be dry ? Let floods of penitential grief Burst forth from every eye.
2. The Son of God in tears
Angels with wonder see ; Be thou astonished, O my soul, He shed those tears for thee.
3. He wept that we might weep ;
Each sin demands a tear : In heaven alone no sin is found, And there 's no weeping there.
SeLCCX. Hymn 261.
L AND canst thou, sinner, slight The call of love divine ? Shall God with tenderness invite, And gain no thought of thine ?
2. "Wilt thou not cease to grieve
The Spirit from thy breast, Till He thy wretched soul shall leave "With all thy sins oppressed ?
3. To-day a pardoning God
"Will hear the suppliant pray; To-day, a Saviour's cleansing blood "Will wash thy guilt away.
4. But grace so dearly bought,
If yet thou wilt despise, Thy fearful doom with vengeance fraught, "Will fill thee with surprise.
Sel. CCXI. Hymn 608.
TO-MORROW, Lord, is thine, Lodged in thy sovereign hand,
And if its sun arise and shine, It shines by thy command.
2. The present moment flies,
And bears our life away ; 0 make thy servants truly wise, That they may live to-day.
3. Since on this winged hour
Eternity is hung, "Waken, by thy almighty power, The aged and the young.
4. One thing demands our care ;
O be it still pursued, Lest, slighted once, the season fair Should never be renewed.
5. To Jesus may we fly,
Swift as the morning light, Lest life's young golden beam should die, In sudden, endless night.
Sel. CCXn. Hymn 625.
L 0 ! FOR the death of those Who slumber in the Lord ! 0 be like theirs my last repose, Like theirs my last reward !
2. Their bodies in the ground
In silent hope may lie, Till the last trumpet's joyful sound Shall call them to the sky.
3. Their ransomed spirits soar,
On wings of faith and love,
To meet the Saviour they adore,
And reign with Him above.
4. "With us their names shall live
Through long succeeding year3, Embalmed with all our hearts can give, Our praises and our tears.
5. 0 for the death of those,
"Who slumber in the Lord !
0 be like theirs my last repose,
Like theirs my last reward.

Sel. CCXVII. Psalm 121, iii.
1. UPWARD I lift my eyes,
From God is all my aid ; The God that built the skies,
And earth and nature made ; God is the tower to which I fly ; His grace is nigh in every hour.
2. My feet shall never slide,
And fall in fatal snares, Since God, my guard and guide,
Defends me from my fears. Those wakeful eyes that never sleep Shall Israel keep when dangers rise.
3. No burning heats by day,
For blasts of evening air, Shall take my health away,
If God be with me there ; Thou art my sun, and thou my shade, To guard my head by night or noon.
4. Hast thou not given thy word
To save my soul from death ? And I can trust my Lord
To keep my mortal breath : I '11 go and come, nor fear to die, Till from on high thou call me home.
Sel. CCXVIII. Hymn 1.
1. THE Lord Jehovah reigns,
His throne is built on high ; The garments He assumes
Are light and majesty. His glories shine with beams so bright, No mortal eye can bear the sight.
2. The thunders of his hand
Keep the wide world in awe ; His wrath and justice stand
To guard his holy law ; And where his love resolves to bless, His truth confirms and seals the grace.
3. Through all his ancient works Surprising wisdom shines ; Confounds the powers of hell,
And breaks their curst designs. Strong is his arm, and shall fulfill His great decrees, his sovereign will.
4. And can this mighty King Of glory condescend, And will He write his name, My Father and my Friend ? I love his name, I love his word ; Join all my powers, and praise the Lord.
Sel. CCXLX. Hymn 581.
1. O SION, tune thy voice,
And lift thy hands on high ; Tell all the world thy joys, And shout salvation nigh ; Cheerful in God, arise and shine, "While rays divine stream all abroad.
2. He gilds the mourning face
With beams that can not fade ; His all-resplendent grace
He pours around thy head : The nations round thy form shall view, With luster new divinely crowned.
3. In honor to his name
Reflect that sacred light, And loud that grace proclaim
Which makes thy darkness bright : Pursue his praise till sovereign love In worlds above thy glory raise.
4. There on his holy hill
A brighter sun shall rise, And with his radiance fill
Those fairer, purer skies : While round his throne ten thousand stars, In nobler spheres, his influence own.

I LOVE the volume of thy Word ; What light and joy those leaves afford
To souls benighted and distressed ! Thy precepts guide my doubtful way, Thy fear forbids my feet to stray,
Thy promise leads my heart to rest.
2. From the discoveries of thy law The perfect rules of life I draw:
These are my study and delight : Not honey so invites the taste, Nor gold that hath the furnace passed Appears so pleasing to the sight.
3. Thy threatenings wake my slumbering eyes, And warn me where my danger lies ; But 't is thy blessed Gospel, Lord, That makes my guilty conscience clean, Converts my soul, subdues my sin, And gives a free, but large reward.
4. Who knows the errors of my thoughts ? My God, forgive my secret faults,
And from presumptuous sins restrain ; Accept my poor attempts of praise, That I have read thy book of grace
And book of nature, not in vain.
Sel. CCXXI. Psalm 146, ii.
1. I 'LL praise my Maker with my breath, And when my voice is lost in death,
Praise shall employ my nobler powers My days of praise shall ne'er be past, While life, and thought, and being last, Or immortality endures.
115
Why should I make a man my trust ? Princes must die and turn to dust ;
Vain is the help of flesh and blood ; Their breath departs, their pomp and
power, And thoughts, all vanish in an hour ;
Nor can they make their promise good.
Happy the man whose hopes rely On Israel's God : He made the sky, And earth, and seas, with all their train : His truth forever stands secure : He saves th' oppressed, He feeds the poor, And none shall find his promise vain.
4. The Lord hath eyes to give the blind ; The Lord supports the sinking mind ;
He sends the laboring conscience peace : He helps the stranger in distress, The widow and the fatherless,
And grants the prisoner sweet release.
5. He loves his saints, He knows them well, But turns the wicked down to hell ;
Thy God, O Sion, ever reigns : Let every tongue, let every age, In this exalted work engage ;
Praise Him in everlasting strains.
6. I'll
praise Him breath ;
while He lends me
And when my voice is lost in death
Praise shall employ my nobler powers : My days of praise shall ne'er be past, While life and thought, and being last, Or immortality endures.

1. O ! COULD I speak the matchless worth,
0 ! could I sound the glories forth, Which in my Saviour shine,
1 'd soar and touch the heavenly strings, And vie with Gabriel, while he sings,
In notes almost divine.
2. I 'd sing the precious blood He spilt, My ransom from the dreadful guilt
Of sin and wrath divine : I'd sing his glorious righteousness, In which all-perfect, heavenly dress
My soul shall ever shine.
3. I 'd sing the characters He bears, And all the forms of love He wears,
Exalted on his throne ; In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, I would to everlasting days
Make all his glories known.
4. Soon the delightful day will come, When my dear Lord will call me home,
And I shall see his face : Then, with my Saviour, Brother, Friend, A blest eternity I'll spend,
Triumphant in his grace.
Sel. CCXXffl. Hymn 317.
0 THOU, that hearest the prayer of faith, Wilt thou not save a soul from death,
That casts itself on thee ?
1 have no refuge of my own,
But fly to what my Lord has done And suffered once for me.
Slain in the guilty sinner's stead, His spotless righteousness I plead,
And his atoning blood : Thy righteousness my robe shall be, Thy merit shall avail for me,
And bring me near to God.
Then snatch me from eternal death, The Spirit of adoption breathe,
His consolation send : By Him some word of life impart, And sweetly whisper to my heart,
" Thy Maker is thy Friend."
The king of terrors then would be A welcome messenger to me,
To bid me come away : Unclogged by earth, or earthly things, I 'd mount, I 'd fly with eager wings,
To everlasting day.

[Stanza 1 in the music]
2. 0 God, my inmost soul convert, And deeply on my thoughtless heart
Eternal things impress : Give me to feel their solemn weight, And save me ere it be too late ;
Wake me to righteousness.
3. Before me place in bright array The pomp of that tremendous day,
When thou with clouds shalt come To judge the nations at thy bar : And tell me, Lord, shall I be there,
To meet a joyful doom ?
4 Be this my one great business here, With holy trembling, holy fear,
To make my calling sure ; Thine utmost counsel to fulfill, And suffer all thy righteous will, And to the end endure.
5. Then, Saviour, then my soul receive, Transported from this vale, to live
And reign with thee above ; Where faith is sweetly lost in sight, And hope, in full, supreme delight,
And everlasting love.
Sel.CCXXV. Hymn 618.
1. WHEN thou, my righteous Judge, shalt
come, To take thy ransomed people home,
Shall I among them stand ? Shall such a worthless worm as I, Who sometimes am afraid to die,
Be found at thy right hand ?
2. I love to meet among them now, Before thy gracious feet to bow,
Though vilest of them all ; But can I bear the piercing thought, What if my name should be left out,
When thou for them shalt call ?
3. Prevent, prevent it by thy grace ; Be thou, dear Lord, my hiding-place,
In this the accepted day ; Thy pardoning grace, 0 let me hear, To still my unbelieving fear,
Nor let me fall, I pray.
4. Let me among thy saints be found, Whene'er the archangel's trump shall
To see thy smiling face ; [sound,
Then loudest of the crowd I '11 sing, While heaven's resounding mansions ring
With shouts of sovereign grace.

In vain the noisy crowd,
Like billows fierce and loud, Against thine empire rage and roar ;
In vain with angry spite
The surly nations fight, And dash like waves against the shore.
Let floods and nations rage, And all their powers engage ;
Let swelling tides assault the sky ; The terrors of thy frown Shall beat their madness down ;
Thy throne for ever stands on high.
Thy promises are true,
Thy grace is ever new, There fixed, thy church shall ne'er remove
Thy saints with holy fear
Shall in thy courts appear, And sing thine everlasting love.

He sits for grace and judgment there :

All my times are in thy hand, All events at thy command.
2. His decree who formed the earth, Fixed my first and second birth : Parents, native place, and time, All appointed were by Him.
3. He that formed me in the womb, He shall guide me to the tomb ; All my times shall ever be Ordered by his wise decree.
4. Times of sickness, times of health, Times of penury and wealth ; Times of trial and of grief ; Times of triumph and relief ;
5. Times the tempter's power to prove ; Times to taste a Saviour's love ;
All must come, and last, and end, As shall please my heavenly Friend.
6. Thee at all times will I bless ; Having thee, I all possess ; How can I bereaved be Since I can not pai t with thee !
Sel. CCXXXI. Hymn 132.
1. NOW begin the heavenly theme, Sing aloud in Jesus' name ;
Ye who his salvation prove, Triumph in redeeming love.
2. Ye, who see the Father's grace Beaming in the Saviour's face, As to Canaan on ye move, Praise and bless redeeming love.
3. Mourning souls, dry up your tears ; Banish all your guilty fears ;
See your guilt and curse remove, Canceled by redeeming love.
4. Ye, alas ! who long have been Willing slaves to death and sin, Now from bliss no longer rove, Stop and taste redeeming love.
5. Welcome all, by sin oppressed, Welcome to his sacred rest ; Nothing brought Him from above, Nothing but redeeming love.
6. When his Spirit leads us home, When we to his glory come, We shall all the fullness prove Of our Lord's redeeming love.

2. Praise Him, ye celestial choirs, Praise and sweep your golden lyres ; Praise Him in the noblest songs, From ten thousand thousand tongues.
3. Every note with rapture swell, And the Saviour's triumph tell ; Where, 0 death, is now thy stiug? Where thy terrors, vanquished king ?
4. Let Immanuel be adored, Ransom, Mediator, Lord! To creation's utmost bound Let the eternal praise resound.

Sel. CCXXXIV. Hymn 117.
1. CHILDREN of the heavenly King, As ye journey, sweetly sing : Sing your Saviour's worthy praise, Glorious in his works and ways.
2. Ye are traveling home to God, In the way the fathers trod ; They are happy now, and ye Soon their happiness shall see.
3. O ye mourning souls be glad ; Christ our advocate is made ; Us to save, our flesh assumes. Brother to our souls becomes.
4. Shout, ye little flock, and blest, Soon you '11 enter into rest ; There your seat is now prepared, There your kingdom and reward.
6. Fear not, brethren, joyful stand On the borders of your land ; Jesus Christ, our Father's son, Bids us undismayed go on.
6. Lord, submissive make us go, Gladly leaving all below ; Only thou our leader be, And we still will follow thee.
Sel. CCXXXV. Hymn 242.
1. HARK ! the herald angels say, Christ the Lord is risen to-day ; Raise your joys and triumphs high, Let the glorious tidings fly.
2. Love 's redeeming work is done, Fought the fight, the battle won ; Lo ! the sun's eclipse is o'er,
Lo I he sets in blood no more.
3. Vain the stone, the watch, the seal ; Christ has burst the gates of hell : Death in vain forbids Him rise, Christ has opened Paradise.
4. Lives again our glorious King ; Where, 0 death, is now thy sting ? Once He died our souls to save ; Where 's thy victory, boasting grave ?
5. What though once we perished all, Partners of our parents' fall ? Second life we now receive,
And in Christ forever live.
6. Hail ! thou dear almighty Lord, Hail ! thou great incarnate Word, Hail ! thou suffering Son of God, Take the trophies of thy blood.
Sel, CCfflYl. Hymn 268.
1. GRACIOUS Spirit! Love divine, Let thy light within me shine ; All my guilty fears remove, Fill me full of heaven and love.
2. Speak thy pardoning grace to me, Set the burdened sinner free ; Lead me to the Lamb of God, Wash me in his precious blood.
3. Life and peace to me impart, Seal salvation on my heart ; Breathe thyself into my breast, Earnest of immortal rest.
4. Let me never from thee stray, Keep me in the narrow way ; Fill my soul with joy divine, Keep me, Lord, forever thine.
Sel.CCXXXYIL Hymn 474.
1. LORD, we come before thee now, At thy feet we humbly bow ;
O do not our suit disdain ;
Shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain ?
2. Lord, on thee our souls depend ; In compassion now descend ;
Fill our hearts with thy rich grace ; Tune our lips to sing thy praise.
3. In thine own appointed way, Now we seek thee, here we stay ; Lord, we know not how to go, Till a blessing thou bestow.
4. Send some message from thy word That may joy and peace afford ; Let thy Spirit now impart
Full salvation to each heart.

3. Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord ; Late in time behold Him come, Offspring of a virgin's womb.
4. Vailed in flesh, the Godhead see, Lo ! the incarnate Deity! Pleased as man with men to appear, Jesus our Immanuel here.
5. 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.
6. Come, Desire of nations, come, Fix in us thy humble home ;
Rise, th*1 woman's conquering Seed, Bruise in us the serpent's head.
Sel. CCXHIX. Hymn 192.
1. HARK, my soul, 'tis the Lord; 'T is thy Saviour, hear his word ; Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee : '• Say, poor sinner, lovest 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, Free and faithful, strong as death.
5. " Thou shalt see my glory soon, "When the work of grace is done ; Partner of my throne shalt be ; Say, poor sinner, lovest 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.

129 Sel. CCXL. Hymn 305.
1. COME, my soul, thy suit prepare, Jesus loves to answer prayer ; He himself has bid thee pray, Therefore will not say thee nay.
2. Thou art coming to a King, Large petitions with thee bring ; For his grace and power are such, Kone can ever ask too much.
3. With my burden I begin, Lord, remove this load of sin ; Let thy blood, for sinners spilt, Set my conscience free from guilt
4. Lord, I come to thee for rest, Take possession of my breast ; There thy blood-bought right maintain, And without a rival reign.
5. "While I am a pilgrim here, Let thy love my spirit cheer ;
As my Guide, my Guard, my Friend, Lead me to my journey's end.
6. Show me what I have to do, Every hour my strength renew ; Let me live a life of faith,
Let me die thy people's death.
Sel. COIL Hymn 339.
1. BOUNDLESS glory, Lord, be thine ; Thou hast made the darkness shine : Thou hast sent a cheering ray ; Thou hast turned our night to day.
2. Darkness long involved us round, Till we knew the joyful sound : Then our darkness fled away, Chased by truth's effulgent ray.
3. They are blest, and none beside, They who in the truth abide ; Clear the Hght that marks their way Leading to eternal day.
4. Guide us, Saviour, through the road, Till we reach the saints' abode ; Till we see thee throned above,
As thou art, the God of love.

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

May thy glory meet our eyes, "While we in thy house appear : Here afford us/Lord, a taste Of our everlasting feast.

2. Sprinkled now with blood the throne, "Why beneath thy burdens groan ? On my pierced body laid,
Justice owns the ransom paid ; Bow the knee and kiss the Son, Come and welcome, sinner, come.
3. Spread for thee the festal board, See with richest dainties stored ; To thy Father's bosom pressed, Yet again a child confessed, Never from his house to roam, Come and welcome, sinner, come.
4. Soon the days of life shall end,
Lo ! I come, your Saviour, Friend I
Safe your spirits to convey
To the realms of endless day :
Up to my eternal home,

Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to thy cross I cling ; Naked, come to thee for dress, Helpless, look to thee for grace Vile, I to the fountain fly — Wash me, Saviour, or I die.
While I draw this fleeting breath, When my heart-strings break in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See thee on thy judgment-throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee.

Sel. CCXLHII. Hymn 677.
[1st stanza ia the music.]
2. Oft the big, unbidden tear,
Stealing down the furrowed cheek, Told, in eloquence sincere,
Tales of woe they could not speak. But these days of weeping o'er,
Past this scene of toil and pain, They shall feel distress no more,
Xever, never weep again.
3. Mid the chorus of the skies,
Mid the angelic lyres above, Hark ! their songs melodious rise,
Songs of praise to Jesus' love. Happy spirits, ye are fled
Where no grief can entrance find ; Lulled to rest the aching head,
Soothed the anguish of the mind.
4. All is tranquil and serene,
Calm and undisturbed repose, There no cloud can intervene,
There no angry tempest blows. Every tear is wiped away,
Sighs no more shall heave the breast, Night is lost in endless day,
Sorrow, in eternal rest.
Sel. CCXLLX. Hymn 679.
1. PALMS of glory, raiment bright,
Crowns that never fade away,
Gird and deck the saints in light,
Priests, and kings, and conquerors they.
Yet the conquerors bring their palms To the Lamb amid the throne ;
And proclaim in joyful psalms Victory through his cross alone.
3. Kings their crowns for harps resign, Crying, as they strike the chords,
" Take the kingdom, it is thine, King of kings and Lord of lords."
4. Round the altar priests confess, " If these robes are white as snow,
'T was the Saviour's righteousness, And his blood that made them so."
5. Who were these ? on earth they dwelt. Sinners once of Adam's race ;
Guilt, and fear, and suffering felt, But were saved from all by grace.
They were mortal, too, like us ;
Ah ! when we like them shall die, May our souls, translated thus,
Triumph, reign, and shine on high.

2. Sinners, turn, why will ye die ? God your Saviour asks you why ; He who did your soul retrieve, Died himself that ye might live, Will ye let Him die in vain, Crucify your Lord again ? Why, ye rebel sinners, why, Will ye slight his cross and die ?
3. Sinners, turn, why will ye die ? God the Spirit asks you why ; Many a time with you He strove, Wooed you to embrace his love ; Will ye not his grace receive ? Will ye still refuse to live ? Why will ye for ever die,
0 ye guilty sinners, why ?
Sri. CCLI. Bvmn 589.
WHILE with ceaseless course the sun Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run, Never more to meet us here ; Fixed in their eternal state, They have done with all below; We a little longer wait, But how little none can know.
As the winged arrow flies Speedily the mark to find ; As the lightning from the skies Darts, and leaves no trace behind: Swiftly thus our fleeting days Bear us down life's rapid stream ; Upward, Lord, our spirits raise ; All below is but a dream.
Thanks for mercies past receive, Pardon of our sins renew ; Teach us henceforth how to live With eternity in view. Bless thy word to young and old, Fill us with a Saviour's love ; And when life's short tale is told May we dwell with thee above.

Nor stay in all their course ; Fire ascending seeks the sun :
Both speed them to their source ; So a soul that's horn of God,
Pants to view his glorious face, Upward tends to his abode,
To rest in his embrace.
Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn ;
Press onward to the prize ; Soon our Saviour will return,
Triumphant in the skies. Yet a season, and you know,
Happy entrance will be given; All our sorrows left below,
And earth exchanged for heaven.

[Slanza 1 in the music]
"What, though the spicy breezes
Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle, Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile ; In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strown ; The heathen, in his blindness,
Bows down to wood and stone.
Shall we, whose souls are lighted
"With wisdom from on high, Shall we, to men benighted,
The lamp of life deny? Salvation 1 0 salvation 1
The joyful sound proclaim, Till earth's remotest nation
Has learned Messiah's name.
"Waft, waft, ye winds, his story,
And you, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory,
It spreads from pole to pole ; Till, o'er our ransomed nature,
The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator,
In bliss returns to reism.
SeLCCLV. Hymn 571.
1. NOW be the gospel banner
In every land unfurled ; And be the shout, hosanna !
Re-echoed through the world : Till every isle and nation,
Till every tribe and tongue, Receive the great salvation,
And join the happy throng.
2. "What though the embattled legions
Of earth and hell combine ? His arm throughout their, regions
Shall soon resplendent shine : Ride on, 0 Lord, victorious ;
Immanuel, Prince of peace, Thy triumph shall be glorious ;
Thy empire still increase.
3. Yes, thou shalt reign for ever,
O Jesus, King of kings ; Thy light, thy love, thy favor,
Each ransomed captive sings ; The isles for thee are waiting,
The deserts learn thy praise ; The hills and valleys greeting,
The song responsive raise.

Mercy stream in streams of blood, Precious drops, my soul bedewing, Plead and claim my peace with God.
3. Truly blessed is this station,
Low before his cross to lie ;
While I see divine compassion
Floating in his languid eye.
4. Here it is I find my heaven
While upon the cross I gaze ; Love I much ? I 'm much forgiven, I 'm a miracle of grace.
5. Love and grief my heart dividing,
With my tears his feet I bathe ; Constant still in faith abiding, Life deriving from his death.
SeLCCLIL Hymn 494.
1. GLORIOUS things of thee are spoken,
Sion, city of our God ; He whose word can not be broken,
Formed thee for his own abode : On the Rock of Ages founded,
What can shake thy sure repose ? With salvation's walls surrounded, kThou may'st smile at all thy foes.
2. See the streams of living water8
Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove. Who can faint, while such a river
Ever flows their thirst to assuage ; Grace, which like the Lord, the giver,
Never fails from age to age ?
3. Round each habitation hovering,
See the cloud and fire appear, For a glory and a covering,
Showing that the Lord is near : Thus deriving from their banner,
Light by night, and shade by day ; Safe they feed upon the manna
Which He gives them when they pray.

Sel. CCLX. Hymn 286.
[1st stanza in the music]
2. Perish, earthly fame and treasure,
Come, disaster, scorn and pain : In thy service pain is pleasure ;
With thy favor loss is gain: 0 'tis not in grief to harm me,
"While thy bleeding love I see ; 0 "tis not in joy to charm me,
When that love is hid from me.
Sel. CCLXI. Hymn 345.
1. LOVE divine, all love excelling,
Joy of heaven to earth come down ; Fix in us thy humble dwelling,
All thy faithful mercies crown. Jesus, thou art all compassion,
Pure uubounded love thou art ; Visit us with thy salvation,
Enter every longing heart.
2. Breathe, 0 breathe thy loving Spirit
Into every troubled breast ; Let us all in thee inherit,
Let us find thy promised rest : Take away the love of sinning,
Alpha and Omega be, End of faith, as its beginning,
Set our hearts at liberty.
3. Come, almighty to deliver,
Let us now thy life receive, Suddenly return, and never
Xever more thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve thee as thine hosts above ; Pray, and praise thee without ceasing,
Glory in thy precious love.
4. Finish then thy new creation,
Pure, unspotted may we be : Let us see our whole salvation
Perfectly secured by 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.
7
Sel. CCLXII. Hymn 375.
1. COME, thou fount of every blessing,
Time my heart to sing tby grace ; Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above ; Praise the mount — 0 fix me on it,
Mount of God's unchanging love.
2. Here I raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by thy help I 'm come ; And I hope, by* thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God ; He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed with precious blood.
3. 0 to grace how great a debtor,
Daily I 'm constrained to be ! Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it ;
Prone to leave the God I love ; Here 's my heart, Lord, take and seal it,
Seal it from thy courts above.
Sel. CCLXffl. Hymn 105.
1. GENTLY, Lord, 0 ! gently lead us,
Through this lonely vale of tears ; Through the changes thou 'st decreed us,
Till our last great change appears. "When temptation's darts assail us,
"When in devious paths we stray, Let thy goodness never fail us,
Lead us in thy perfect way.
2. In the hour of pain and anguish,
In the hour when death draws near, Suffer not our hearts to languish,
Suffer not our souls to fear. And when mortal life is ended,
Bid us in thine arms to rest, Till by angel bands attended,
"We awake among the blest.

1. GUIDE me. 0 thou gnat Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land ; I am weak, but thou art mighty. Hold me with thy powerful hand :
Bread of heaven, Feed me, till I want no more.
2. Open now the crystal fountain

1. SAVIOUR, visit thy plantation,

Lord, revive us ; All our help must come from thee,
2. Seep no longer at a distance.

Sel. CCLXVHI. Hymn 28,
[Stanza 6 and 7 omitted.]
1. THOUGH troubles assail, and dangers affright ; Though friends should all fail, and foes all unite ; Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide ;
The Scripture assures us, the Lord will provide.
2. The birds, without barn or storehouse, are fed ; From them let us learn to trust for our bread: His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied ; So long as 'tis written, the Lord will provide.
3. "We may, like the ships, by tempests be tossed On perilous deeps, but .can not be lost: Though Satan enrages the wind and the tide, The promise engages, the Lord will provide.
4. His call we obey, like Abram of old,
Not knowing our way, but faith makes us bold; For though we are strangers, we have a good guide And trust in all dangers, the Lord will provide.
5. "When Satan appears to stop up our path, And fills us with fears, we triumph by faith ;
He can not take from us, though oft he has tried, This heart-cheering promise, the Lord will provide.
8. When life sinks apace, and death is in view, The word of his grace shall comfort us through : No fearing or doubting, with Christ on our side, We hope to die shouting, the Lord will provide.
Sel. CCLXH Hymn 374.
1. TE servants of God, your Master proclaim, And publish abroad his wonderful name : The name all-victorious of Jesus extol ;
His kingdom is glorious, He rules over all.
2. God ruleth on high, almighty to save ;
And still He is nigh— his presence we have : The great congregation his triumph shall sing, Ascribing salvation to Jesus our King.
3. Salvation to God, who sits on the throne, Let all cry aloud, and honor the Son : The praises of Jesus the angels proclaim,
Fall down on their faces, and worship the Lamb.
4. Then let us adore, and give Him his right, All glory and power, and wisdom and might, All honor and blessing, with angels above, And thanks never ceasing, for infinite love.

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?
3. "Fear not, I am with thee, 0! 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.
4. "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.
5. " When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply ; The flame shall not hurt thee ; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
6. " E'en down to old age, all my people shall prove My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love ;
And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn, Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be borne.
7. " The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose, / will not, I will not, desert to his foes ;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, Til never, no never, no never forsake 1"
