New Peaises oe Jesus:
A COLLECTION OP
CHOICE HYMNS AND TUNES ESPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR SEASONS OF DEEP EELIGIOUS INTEREST,
AND FOR USE IN THE
Sabbath School^ Prayer Meeting^ and the Family.
Containing, in addition to many new Hymns and Tunes, a number of the attractive compositions ©J the late WM. B. BRADBURY, and others, in this and foreign lands.
Edited by Ret. EDWARD PAYSON HAMMOND, Author of "Sketches of Palestine," "Littie Ones in the Fold," "Jesus the Way," "Jesus' Lambs," "The Better Life," ctc^ etc,
<fiew §01(11 and ^hicuga ;
PaMislied by BIGLOW & MAIN, (Successors to WM. B. BRABBUBY,)
425 BROOME ST., NEW YORK, 726 WABASH AVE., cmCAGO, AND FOR SALE BY BOOKSELLERS GENERALLY.
"JPREFA-GE.
About one 'hundred thousand copies of the " Praises of Jesus" have been sold in this country and in Great Britain.
The hymns and tunes which were the greatest favorites in that book have been retained in the "New Praises op Jesus;" also, from forty to fifty new pages of choice material have been added, containing nearly one hundred new hymns, and yet the publishers sell it at the same price as before.
It lias long been our study to learn what hymns and tunes the Holy Spirit has most repeatedly and signally used in leading sinners to the Saviour, and in strengthening the faith of God's dear peo- ple, knowing that it is only ■'«« workers together with Rim" that we accomplish anything for His glory.
Jesus has Himself said : " And I ; if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all unto me." We bj.ve therefore sought to select and write hymns which point to Him who was lifted up, that we might not perish, but have eternal life.
A number of the hymns were written diiring our recent visit to the Holy City, where "JTe wgs wounded for our transgressions."
The Sunday-school teachers everywhere will fin 1 Vhis a safe and useful book in assisting them to lead those under their instruction at once to the lovinj; Jesus' open arms.
It is my most earnest prayer that, as these sweet ongs of Zion are sung, multitudes may be led to hear God entreating them : "Repent ye tuerefoee, and be converted tha-t your sins may be
BLOTTED OUT WHEN THE TIME OF REFRESHING SHALL COME FROM THE PRESENCE OF THE LoRD." ActS
iii. 19. Oh! may all those whose voices shall blend in these "spiritual songs," be found at last among the " ransomed of the Lord ; and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy," and for ever dwell there where "sorrowing and sighing shall flee awa^.'"'
E. PAYSON HAMMOND. Vebnon, Conn., January, 1869.

" It was with shame i anbwekkd, no."
If yon, :ny dear frienri, -witli this Sabbath-school scholar, who wrote, these words, have sometimes felt ashamed, that yon did not love Jesus, and an; anxious to t:now what you should do to be saved, this letter may hi'lp you to find tlie Saviour:
■ The first afternoon of the children's meetings, I did not stay to the inquiry meeting. As 1 was pa.ssing out, you asked me ifl loved Jesus. It was with shame I anmvered,'no. The next day 1 remained ; some ore spolie to me, and when lie told m« to believe, 1 could not understand it. I did believe that Jesus died to save sinners, that I was one of tliat number, and he was willing and ready to save me, and 1 thought that I was, at least, not for from being a Christian. But I wat undi'ceived Monday, when I heard you speali. That illustration of the men in the cave was so clear: I saw that I, like them, had got my leet upon the promise, but that would not save me, it needed something more, and I could only say: • Loiil, I bJlieve, hulp thou my unbelief.' I made up my mind that 1 would ask God for Christ's sake to pardon me, and Ivaw it with him. All! it was then 1 understood what was meant by believing ; 1 felt that he did forgive me. I expected that I sliould feel some great and sudden change, that the burden wllich oppressed me would be immediately removed, and
05 I cxpeiienced no such change, I almost despaired, I thought I had not asked as I should, for he has said : 'Tliose that seek irii! shall find me,' and I tjelieved it; what then was I to do? But, just then, as if you knew my thoughts, you gave me a little tract, ' Oh ! for more feeling,' and I saw I was wrong. It told me that God has not said we mu.st feel so and so iu regard to our sin before we may have Christ and his free grace, but we were only to feel, our need of him. It lifted o great cloud from my mind, and 1 now feel that I have a hope in the dear Saviour. Hove to sing that little hymn, ' Jeini« paid it all' but it always brings the tears to my eyes, for J see him whom I have rejected so long, nailed to Hie cross, and suffering, oh I hew 7nuch,for me. God help me to love him more and more every day I live."

2. Then hasten all who feel your need. From s'n's dread burden to be freed — To Calvary's victim look and livi. He only can salvation give.

Now listen to the gospel's sound. Seek Jesus where he may be found-
In him the Father, reconciled, Will own and bless you as his child. Oh. will you longer slight his love. And grieve away the Heavenly Dove?—
t: Itefiise the Saviour to embrace.
And perish in this day of grace-? :|1 i. Forbid it. Lord ! Thy power display And draw these lingering souls to-day; Convince of sin, thy grace impart To cleanse and sanctify the heart. May many hear thy gracious voice. And in thy pardoning love rejoice,

A DEAR little boy, only nine years eld, in Brooklyn, who hail learned to love Jesus, was one day last summer run over cjr the cai-s, and so badly hurt that he only lived a fdw hours. When the policeman took, him up, he opened nis eyes, and said, "Tell mother I'm going straight to iny Saviour." And when his mother found him at the hospital, he said to her, 'Mother, I'm going to Jesus, and he's here, in this room, all around me. Oh! I love him xo much. Don't let them cut off My leg, but if they do, never mind, it won't hurt me .is much as they hurt Jesus." When his father arrived, he looked up, lad said, " Papa, I am going to my Saviour, t-;ll brotlier Eddy if he feels lonely now, because ho has no brother, to learn to love Jesus, and he will be his brother and love him no much." These were the last wcu-ds ho said, for, in about two hours, ho bled to death ; and the hospital nurse said, as she closed his eyes, "He has gone to that Saviour he talked so much about, and /will try to love him too." When his mother returned to her home, her only words were: ''The Lord has taken my Charlie, though he slay me, yet will I trust him." Tl.at you may the better remember this touching story, I have written it for you in simple verse, that you may sing about this dear angel-boy. Could you, my little friend, say I'e going straight to Jesus, if called to die to-day ?

This tnne, as it now pfantts, was first snug, I think, in Rcntlanct, where hnncireds were asking " What shall we do to he saved f" Those who have never heard it under snch circumstances, cannot .indge of its persuasive power to lead trembling sinners to the cross. The verses, of which we have given the first lines, can easily be filled out. Thousands will remember this hymn to all eternity, as having been used by God to lead them to .lesus. Tt has often, also, impressed upon the careless the solemn declaration of God's word, " Behold, now is the accepted time, behold, now is the day of salvation."—! Cor. vi. 2.

Suffered death on Calvary, Oh ! how wonderful the story —
Thou didst bleed and die for mb Ye.s, that I might be forgiven,
Thou didst leave th}' home on high ; And, that I might sing in heaven,
On the cruel cross didst die.
Now my heart is filled with gladness,
Since my hope I stay on Thee ; Thou wilt drive away all sadness,
All my sins are pardoned free. I shall join the heavenly chorus,
Singing praise to JesHs' love ; Trusting Him, he'll go before us,
He will bring us home above. E.P.H-

2. From men, great skill professing,

And added to my pain. Some said that nothing ailed me,
Some gave me up for lost ; Thus every refuge failed me.
And all my hopes were crossed. 8. At length, this great Physician- How matchless is his grace ! Accepted my petition,
And undertook my case; First gave me sight to vifW him —
For sin my siglit had sealed- Then bade mc look unto him ;
I looked, and I was healed. 4 A dying, risen Jesus,
Seen by the eye of ftfitli, At once from anguish frees us.

His help he'll freely give; He makes no hard condition;

2. What language shall I borrow,
To thank thee, dearest Friend, For this thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end I Oh, make me thine forever,
And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never.
Outlive my love to thee. If I, -a wretch, should leave thee,
O Jesus, leave not me ; In faith may I receive thfte,
When death shall set iiie free When strength and comfort languish.
And I must hence depart.
Ech'ase me then from anguish.
By thine own wounded heart, 4. Be near when I am dying.
Oh, show thy cross to me I And for my succor flying.
Come, Lord, to set me free. These eyes new faith receiving.
From Jesus shall not move ; ' For he wlio dies believing,
Dies safely— through thy love.

THE PSAISS OF JESUS.
1. Our scarlet crimes nre m.ido as wool.
And we brought nigh to God ; Thanks to that wrath-appeasing death, That heaven-procuring blood,—
2. The blood that makes his glorious
Church Frotn every blemish free ; And oil ! the riches of his love. Ho poured it out for mo. 8. Guilty aad worthless as I am. It all for me was given ; And boldness through his blood I have To enter into heaven.
4. Thitlior. in my great Surety's right,
I'surely sliall be brought; He could not agonise in vain. Nor spend liis strength for nought.
5. The Father's everlasting love,
And Jesus' precious blood. Shall be our endless themes of praise In yonder blest abode.
6. In patience let us then possess
Our souls till he appear; Our Head already is in heaven, And we shall soon be there.
CLEAKSING IN THE BLOOD OF
JESUS.
1. O PRECI0U3 blood, O glorious death.
By which the sinner lives ! When stung with sin, this blood we view, And all our joy revives.
2. The blood that purchased our release,
And washes out our stains, We challenge earth and hell to show A sin it cannot cleanse.
THE CEOWN OF JESUS.
1. The head that once was crowned with
thorns, Is crowned with glory now ; A royal diadem adorns The mighty Victor's brow.
2. The joy of all who dwell above I
The joy of all below ! To whorn he manifests his love. And grants his name to know I
3. To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace, is given 1
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy the joy of heaven.
-. They suffer with their Lord below. They reign with him above ; Their profit and theij- joy to know The mystery of thy love. . The cross he bore is life and health, Though shame and death to him, His people's hope, his people's wealth, Their everlasting theme.
FAITH IN JESUS.
. Faith is not what we feel or see.
It is a .simple trust In what the God of Love has said
Of Jesus, as the '-Just" What Jesus is, and that alone,
Is faith's delightful plea ; It never deals with sinful self
Nor righteous self, in me. , It tells me I am cnunted " dead*
By God, in his own Word ; It tells me I am " born again"
In Christ, my risen Lord. If he is free, then I am free
From all unrighteousness; If he is just, then I am just,
He is my righteousness.

These are the words oi a liule girl, a part or %\mose letter i tlnnK you will ITKe to re»a. Tou will then tue Detter enjoy Binding some little verses which I have written for jou, ch^ar children, as expressive of her feelings : — "I think that I have found the dear Jesus. 1 find him so precious to my soul, I do not see how 1 could have rejected him so long. I think I can sing, with the rest of those who have found Jesus, 'Jesus is mine.' The iirst time that I came to these ureetinijs I cried; but now I feel like singing all the time. The devil did not like it when 1 found the dear Jesus. This mornins'l am afraid he was a-tryiiii; to tempt me, but I went into my room and prayed that Jesus would help me to resist him, and I think he did. 1 told the devil that ho could go away to somebody else aud tempt them: that I did not want him to tempt me, and that he should not. Will you please pray for two very dear friends who are yet without Jesus ? May they shed tears when they hear the melting story of the Lau'b 1 And pray for me, your little friend, just thirteen years old."

IT is not stranfce that the little child of seven years, who wrote these words, should love to sing about Jesus. There was once a little girl who, the great President Edwards believes, was led to Jesus when she was only four years old ; and, before she was six years old, this good man wrote an account of her conversion, which was republished in Eno-land! For sixty years she lived to honor her Saviour. This little one talks as if she were one of the lambs of Jesus. She says :
" I am happy. I have been sorry that I was such a sinner. I have loved Jesus ever since the meetings commenced, and I hope I shall love him till I die. I have been singing ever since the meetings began. I love ' Just now ' the best of alL
" Tour little friend, * * *, seven years old."
I hope that you too, my dear friend, may be able with the heart to sing the words which I have put into the mouth of this little girl.
L " Precious Jesus, he is mine !" Siuce I heard bis loving call I've been singing all the time, One sweet hymn is best of all. Chorus. 1): Yes, Jesus loves me, :| The Bible tells me so. 2. Yes, I love to sing, " Just no-w," Jesus is in every line ;
Since I saw his thorn-clad brow,
I've been happy all the time. — Chorus. 3. Oh I that all my little friends
"Would to Jesus come "just now!" He would wash away their sins. Lighting up with joy each brow Chorus, j: Yes, come to Jesus, :|
Oh ! come to him " jxisl^ now T
Thesk are the words of a little girl of eleven summers, who says in her letter: "I wish to tell you the way I gave my heart to the Saviour. When I went to your meetings, and heaid you tell of the love of Jesus, I could not stand it anv longer, so I gave myself up to Jesus. I prayed this evening that he would talce me just as I was. I can now sing with alJ xny heart, ' I love Jesus, yes, I do.' I feel a great deal happier now. My age is eleven years. Pray for your little friend." When this little child wrote those words in her little letter, I don't suppose that she knew she spoke in " numbers " as noeia do. Let us see if we can put some more words to hers, and so make a little child's hymn. '
1. I can sing with all my heart,
" I love Jesus, yes, I do ;" I have chosen him my " part," He has made my heart all new. Cho. J: Yes, I love Jesus, :| I know, I know I do.

have been a very little fellow who spelled out these words. You will see that this boy has beeu struck by ftuotber boy because he talked to him about Jesus. But the Lord has helped him to light upon a sweet verse to comfort him. He came to a great churcG in New Jersey one day, where were, I suppose, fifteen hundred children and many grown people. The day before, the children were asked to bring in Bome verses from the Bible, which they loved most. Many of them, when they took their pens iu hand, were not satisfied with simply writing a passage of Scripture, for their little hearts were so full of joy that they found that verse in Matt. xii. 34 true : " For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." But you will be more interested to read this dear boy's letter than with any words of mine. So here it is. " The first day i went i did not have an instrest in the meetings but the next i went I did not fel good untill i asked you to pray for me And as soon as you got through i went right straight home and i went up stairs and asked god to take away my stonny heart and give me a heart of fleash And the next morning when I got up i Prayed and then i felt leal happy i felt as though I chonld sing Jesus is mine This is the verse i love ' ye have heard that it hath been said Thou shalt love thy neighbour and hate thine enemies But i say unto you love your enemies Bless them that curse you and pray for them that despitefully yous you and do good fo ihera that hate you' I Ipvo to read the bible which i did not yourse to the more i read the bible the more i love to read it i love my enemies row — the other day i whas talking to a boy about Jesus and he smaked me in the face for it but i said to myself that he would be sorry lor it at the Judgement when god would ask him what he done that for how can ho answer and then would say get the away thou cursed i never new you BLESSED. AuE They Which Ark PersecitTed FoR RighTEousNESS Sacke Fore THeiks Is ThE Kingdom OF Ueaven." So you see how this boy learned to love the Bible. He was once blind to all its beauties, but after he had prayed and asked God for a " new heart," then with the new heart came a new light upon the " Guide-book," which God has given us to point the way to heaven. And if you, my little reader, wish really to love the Bible aiid the Sabbath School, you must get this new heart too. When I was in Scotland and Italy, I used to get long letters from my dear mother. But what if I had scarcely read them— had left them in my trunk for a long time — would that mother have believed me, if I had written home that my heart was full of love to her? No, no— she would have known better. And if you say that you love God, and yet don't love to read the precious letter which he has so kindly written to you, will He or your friends be- lieve you ? Oh, no ! If you do not love the Bible, you must ask God for a new heart, and then you will love not only the Bible, but you will find it as a little girl in Bath, in Maine, did. who had just become a Christian, once said to me, "All full about Jesus." Will you not, then, "just now" offer this little prayer? " 0 Lord, show me wJiat a sinner I have been not to love the piecious Bible. Please to give me a new heart, so that I shall love to read in the Bible all about how Jesus suffered on the cross for me — how the cruel nails were driven through his hands and feet for my sake. May I see what ray wicked sins have done, and I hate them. Oh, help me as I read in God's Book about the loving Jesus, to believe in him and he saved. Hear this, my prayer, for Christ's sake. Amen."
1. Now the book I love to read That speaks of Jesus' love, There I find that he indeed For me has shed his blood.
Chorus— The. Bible tells to me All I need to know, Of Jesu,»' sufferings on the tree For me so long ago.
2. "Full of Je.sus" every page,
Blessed, blessed book ! Joy it brings to youth and age,
Who for its treasures lodk^^Chorus,
3. In this blessed, precious mine
Is the pearl of greatest worth ; Seek for it, and you will find The richest prize on earth. — Ckoru.'..

Thus writes a litt/e girr, only ten yeurs of a^e. Tiiougli so young, she felt herself to be a sinner. Have you, my little friend, been led to see tliat you too are a sinner? Have you ever thought how it was that your sins nailed the dear Saviour to the cross ? I pray that you, like this little child, may be able to say, " Jesus forgave me my sins," and then you will love to sing the words which 1 supposed her to utter.
" Dkab Fkiend :— When 1 first came to those meetings, I merely came to hear some stories, but I began to feel very diflfereutly, before I came out, when one of the kind ministers asked me if I loved Jesus. 1 told him I did, but I am afraid I told him a lie, but when I went out, I began to think about my sins, and I prayed to Jesus to forgive me my sins, and he did so, and now I feel happier than I did before. Will you pray for me that I may never go back ?

How wicked is my heart,
How can I be forgiven. Should I with earth be called to part,
I could not sing in heaven^ But Jesus he has died
For little ones like me, Ha on the cross was crucified.
From sin to set me free.
4. With all my load of sin,
I'll go to Jesus' feet, I'll tell him all, how bad I've been, His mercy I'll entreat.
5. I know my prayer he'll hear,
He'll fill my heart with love. He'll drive away my guilty fear, And take me home above.

In a children's meeting, in New Jersey, where many were seeking the forsiveness of their sins, was a little girl, weeping as though her heart would break. We tried to soothe her by telling her how Jesus had died to save' sinners like her, and that if she would give herself to him, he would receive her, and wash away her sins— but her only answer was, " I can't, 3 can't. It is so hard." Her little heart seemed very stubborn. She went home with a heart full of sorrow. Nest day sht jiressed her way through a crowd of children, and, seizing me by the hand, with a face beaming with joy, said, " I've done it, I've done it." " What is it you've done ?" I asked. " Why," said she, " I just gave myself right up to Jesus, and he took ;vway my stubborn heart, and now I lo^e him." You will, perhaps, like to sing these simple lines, which I have written about the way this little one came to the Saviour.

Oh I why -was he there as the bearer of sin, If on Jesus tliy sins were not laid ?
Oh 1 why from liis side flowed the sin-cleansing If his dying thy debt has not paid ?
It is not thy tears of repentance or prayers, But THE BLOOD that atones for the soul :
On him, then, who slied it thou mayest at once Thy weight of iniquities roll.
We are healed by his stripes ; — would'st thou add to word?
And he is onr righteousness made : The best robe of heaven he bids thee put on*.
Ok t could'st thou be better arrayed ?
Then doubt not thy welcome, since God has declared,
There remaineth no more to be done ; That once in the end of the world he appeared.
And comideted the whole he begun.
6.
But take, with rejoicing, from Jesus at once
The life everlasting he gives ; And know, with assurance, thou never canst die^
Bince Jesus, thy righteousness, lives.
There is trrie for a look at the Crucified One;
There is life at this moment for thee , Then look, sinner — look unto him, and be saved.
And know thyself spotless as he.

Tlie following note was read at one of the large union prayer meetings iu the First Presbyterian church, (0. S.) Eochestei-.
"Mr. H: — Thank you for singing that hymn, 'Even me/ for it was the singing of that hymn that has saved me. I was a lost woman, a wicked mother. I have stolen, and lied, and been so bad to my dear little innocent children. I have no friead. I have attended your inquiry meetings, but no one came to me on account of the crowd, so I went away always wretched — lost. But Saturday afternoon, at
the First Presbyterian Church, when they all sung those beautiful words, "Let some droppings light on me, and blessing others, O bless me, even me. It seemed to reach my very soul. I thought Jesus can accept 'me, even me.' a bad, wicked, passionate mother: and it brought me to His feet, and I feel my burden of sin removed. Jesus has accepted MB, even ME. Can you wonder that Hove those words, or love to hear them sung ? Ah 1 may I too sing them when He shall take me before his throne at the last and accept even me. God bless you. Yours truly.

1 Here it was the Lord of Glory
At Golgotha died for me, Here I read the wond'rous story Of his death to set me free.

Fast were nailed unto the cross ; Here his wounds for me were pleading, "When my gain was all his loss.

For his sake I now am taken

Love thee till my latest breath. And in heaven I will adore thee,

My dear Mr. Hammond,-! want to tell you how I found Jesus. I went to hear you speak to the children on Fri- day night, May 31st. I had heard about the children cry- ing for their sins, and I thought to myself that I would 1 not cry, nor let it have any effect on me. I know now that it was the devil who made me think so, but Jesus is ] stronger than the devil ; and all the time you were speak- ing He softened my heart, yet Satan kept whispering to i me not to be sorry for my sins, not to ask Jesusfora new heart. But at the close of the service a dear friend asked me if I loved Jesus. I cried then, for I could not say No. and I dare not say Yes ; then a gentleman came and talked ' long and earnestly with me; then I felt what a sinner Ij
was, how wicked I had been ; then I prayed that Jesusjlife;" and please pray for my papa and three brothers^ would forgive me, and give me a new heart, and so He who have not yet sought Jesus. With much love to your did; and I went home from chapel that night, happy iU|Self and Mrs, Hammond, and many tliauks to Mr Noe.
the Lord. 1 have had many little trials to bear at home,jfor k^is kinohiess, I remain yours ever, ,
but I try, with Jesus' help, to bear them patiently. Satan] thirteen years old
»lten tries to make me unhappy, and doubting whether
I have really found Jesus; out when I pray to God, Satan goes away, for he hates to see me on my knees ; but he
omes again and tempts me as before, but the dear Jesus keeps me from yielding, and then I feel so happy. Day by day I love Jesus more, but I want to serve Him. Oh, how I long to do something for Jesus, who has done so much for me ! I mean to try and get as many of my companions as I can to come ; then I sincerely hope that they will go home rejoicing because they have found a precious Saviour
I can now smg with all my heart, " Jesus is mine,"' and
I love Jesus." Do pray for me, dear Mr. Hammond, tliat I may keep in the way " that leadeth unto everlasting
1 When I read of little ones
Weeping o'er their sinful ways, Sad to think they left undone
That which should begin their days When I see them in such crowds
Flocking to the Saviour's arms, Like the little 'doves' in 'clouds,'
Gathering safe from all aJarms.
2 When I hear the Saviour say,
'Suffer little ones to come,' Oh, how can I stay away?
Now, at once, to Him I'll run He will make me happy, too,
He will wipe away my tears, Lead me all my journey through. Drive away my doubts and fears.
He who bled and died for me,
Sure will give me all I need ; From my sins will set me free,
Every prayer of mine will heed ; Of his wondrous love I'll sing,
Thus my faith shall grow more strong, Till at last heaven's arches ring
With our glad, triumphant song.

A Chsistian Child's Dbath-Bsd. — Little Georgie D * • ' , of Newark, N.J., for two years a consislint member of the Cburch of Christ was suddenly called to his death-bed. Trusting in Jesus, he was " not afraid to die." His mother beni over him trying to relieve his sufferings ; when he looked at her tenderly, and said, " I don't think you can do anything niori» to help me, mother." Then extending his arms, and lifting his eyes, with an earnest gaze as if eager to welcome the bright messengers sent to bear him to his Father's house, he exclaimed, " The angels are rnming for me, they are coming !" Blessed boy, but a few moments more and he was with them winging his way to the realms of the blest.

Now gently I'm going to sleep, mother,
Going, going, going to sleep, To wake where I never shall weep, mother,
Or suffer a moipent of pain. Glad voices are calling for me, mother,
CoUing, calling, calling for m^ ,
Their pinions of glory I see, mother.
Farewell till I meet thee again. Yes, we shall meet by the river that ilowB,
Tranquil and bright on that beautiful shoro , There will thy sorrow be lost in repose,
There I will leave thee no more.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul ? and why art thou disquieted in me ? hope thou in God : for I shall y«| praise him for the help of his countenance. Ps. xlii, 5.
1 Why art thou, my soul cast down ? Why art thou disquieted? Let the world upon me frown, God will raise my drooping head. Cho. — I shall praise him, praise him,
Praise him who dwelleth above ; Yes praise him, praise him For all of his infinite love.
2 Though I now am filled with fears,
Smarting 'neath the afflicting rod, He will wipe away my tears ; Then, my soul, have faith in god —CAo.
3 Hope in him and ne'er despair.
Though the threat'ning billows roll, Thou art still his constant care.
Thou SHAiii pbaise him yet my souii. — Cho. E.P.H.
Tune — " I feel like singing all the time." page 28.
I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because i me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. Ps. cxvi. I, 2.
hath inclined his ear unta
1 I love the Lord my God because
That he hath heard my cry ; With joy I'll now obey his laws, I'll serve him till I die. Cho. — Singing glory, glory, glory be to God on high.
2 The fears of death encompassed me,
The pains of hell alarmed, 'Twas then, O Lord, I called on thee, And all my fears were calmed.
3 Return into thy rest, my soul ;
Thou, Lord, art all my stay, I yield myself to thy control. Oh teach me. Lord, thy way,
4 My soul is rescued now from death,
Mine eyes are free from tears, I'll praise thee with my daily breath, Till Christ our Lord appears.

1 Why my soul, these anxious longings ?
Why this seeking after peace ? Why do tears flow like a fountain, An-d I cannot bid them cease ? Cho. — I want Jesus, want to love him, I want Jesus, yes, I do : I do want Jesus for ray Saviour, Will he take and love me too ?
2 Oh, my soul is dark as midnight,
And no light I find within : Oft I look with sickening horror. At my dark and loathsome sin. — Cho

And be reconciled in Me,

•'Let thy sorrowing all be o'er; Neither now do I condemn thee.
Go thy way and sin no more." — Uho.
The following lines were the full expression of my but my heart now sings with joy : —
5 Jesus turned, and looked upon me. With a bright and smiling face, Saying "Daughter, take good comfort. Faith hath saved thee, go in peace." Cho.— I love Jesus, Hallelujah, I love Jesus, yes, 1 do ; I do love Jesus, He's my Saviour, Jesus smiles and loves me too. T. C. B.

2 Sweet this hour of benediction,
When such unions come to mind ' When each holy heart-conviction, With the promises combined,
Tell of meetings By the Lord for us designed.
3 Oh, what meetings are before us !
Brighter far than tongtie can tell— Glorious meetings to restore us Him with whom we long to dwell.
With what raptures Will the sight our bosoms swell I
4 Now indeed we meet and sever ;
Chequered is our transient da;y Life's best flowers perish, eveif
Tending to a long decay.
Fairest flowers Bud, and bloom, and die away.
Soon will cease such short-lived pleasures, Soon will fade this earth away ;
Brighter, fairer, nobler treasures Wait the full redemption-day.
Hail the rising Of the wished-for new-born ray !
Thus we part, but not for ever ;
Joyful hopes our bosoms swell : They who love the Saviour never
Know a last, a long farewell. Blissful unions
Lie beyond this parting vale. J. D. Smith.
