PREFACE

This Book of Hymns and Tunes has been prepared by a Pastor in charge of a Church. He has undertaken the work with the single aim and hope of encouraging singing by the Congregation, as a part of divine worship. He has not sought to compile a Manual of Hyrnnology, nor to iurnish a collection of pieces of Lyric Poetry. Everything has been bent to the one purpose of actual use.

All the Selections are set to music in sight. But it is not to be understood that each must be sung exactly and invariably to the tune under which it i3 printed. In most cases a choice is presented; a new or fresher one being matched with one older or more familiar. It may be that mere mechanical reasons have forced the hymn into the place it occupies, when the more appro- priate music will be found below, or across on the opposite page. A quiet care in noting the metres will avoid all confusion.

Xot all the Tunes are precisely and rigidly adapted to congregational sing- ing. Most of them, however, can be easily learned. It is expected that the people will be led by a competent precentor, or — better still — by a large and trained Choir. And oftentimes skilled and cultivated musicians will desire a slight license of artistic excellence for their own enjoyment and performance on rare occasions; thus quickening their own zest, while instructing others, and elevating the general iaste.

PSALM 1 WATTS.

The righteous and the wicked.

Blbst is the man who slums the place, Where sinners love to meet;

Who fears to tread their wicked ways, And hates the scoffer's seat: —

But in the statutes of the Lord Has placed his chief delight;

By day he reads or hears the word, And meditates by night.

He, like a plant of generous kind By living waters set,

Safe from the storms and blasting wind, Enjoys a peaceful state.

Green as the leaf, and ever fair,

Shall his profession shine; While fruits of holiness appear,

Like clusters on the vine. Not so the impious and unjust:

What vain designs they form! Their hopes are blown away like dust,

Or chaff before the storm. Sinners in judgment shall not stand

Among the sons of grace, When Christ, the Judge, at his right hand

Appoints his saints a place.

PSALM 1. scotch.

The Believer's Advantage.

That man hath perfect blessedness

Who walketh not astray In counsel of ungodly men,

Nor stands in sinners' way, —

Nor sitteth in the scorner's chair:

But placeth his delight Upon God's law, and meditates

On his law day and night.

He shall be like a tree that grows

Near planted by a river, Which in his season yields his fruit,

And his leaf fadeth never: —

And all he doth shall prosper well.--

The wicked are not so; But like they are unto the chaff,

Which wind drives to and fro.

In judgment therefore shall not stand

Such as ungodly are: Nor in the assembly of the just

Shall wicked men appear; —

Because the way of godly men

Unto the Lord is known: Whereas the way of wicked men

Shall quite be overthrown.

) Christ exalted.

Why did the nations join to slay The Lord's anointed Son?

Why did they cast his laws away, And tread his gospel down?

2 The Lord, who sits above the skies,

Derides their rage below ; lie speaks with vengeance in his eyes, And strikes their spirits through: —

3 "I call him my beloved Son,

And raise him from the dead; I make my holy hill his throne, And wide his kingdom spread."

4 Be wise, ye rulers of the earth!

Obey the anointed Lord; Adore the king of heavenly birth, And tremble at his word.

5 With humble love address his throne.

For, if he frown, ye die ; Those are secure, and those alone, Who on his grace rely.

. PSALM 3. watts.

+ Doubts and Fears suppressed.

My God! how many are my fears!

How fast my foes increase! Conspiring my eternal death, They break my present peace. 2 But thou, my glory and my strength, Shalt on the tempter tread; Shalt silence all my threatening guilt, And raise my drooping head. 12

And tread his gos - pel down ?

m

3 I cried, and from his holy hill He bowed a listening ear; I called my Father and my God, And he subdued my fear.

i He shed soft slumbers on mine eyes, In spite of all my foes; I woke, and wondered at the grace That guarded my repose.

3 What though the hosts of death and hell All armed against me stood? Terrors no more shall shake my soul; My refuge is my God.

5 PSALM 4. watts.

Evening Devotion.

Lord! thou wilt hear me when I pray;

I am for ever thine; I fear before thee all the day,

Nor would I dare to sin.

2 And, while I rest my weary head,

From cares and business free, 'Tis sweet conversing on my bed With my own heart and thee.

3 I pay this evening-sacrifice;

And, when my work is done, Great God! my faith, my hope relies Upon thy grace alone.

4 Thus, with my thoughts composed to peace,

-I'll give mine eyes to sleep; Thy hand in safety keeps my days, And will my slumbers keep.

But thou, 0 Lord, how long? — Let urn in prace and righteousness,

And make thy love my song.

3 Death utters forth no note of praise,

The silent grave no prayer; Oh, do not now cut short my days, Nor leave me to despair!

4 Long weary nights of pain and grief

My wasting strength destroy; Lord, give these weeping eyes relief, And change my tears to joy.

He bids my foes depart; While shame o'erwhelms them suddenly, His mercy cheers my heart.

Then let them tread my life to dust, And lay mine honor low\

If there were malice hid in me, — I know thy piercing eyes, —

I should not dart; appeal to thee, Nor ask my God to rise.

Arise, my God! lift up thy hand, Their pride and power control;

Awake to judgment, and command Deliverance lor my soul.

God's Condescension,

How excellent in all the earth, Lord, our Lord, is thy name!

Who hast thy glory far advanced Above the starry frame.

When I look up unto the heavens,

Which thine own fingers framed, Unto the moon, and to the stars,

Which were by thee ordained ; — Then say I, What is man, that he

Remembered is by thee ? Or what the Son of man, that thou

So kind to him shouldst be? For thou a little lower hast

Him than the angels made; With glory and with dignity

Thou crowned hast his head.

PSALM 8. Creation and Redemption.

O Lord our Lord! how wondrous great

Is thine exalted name! The glories of thy heavenly state

Let men and babes proclaim.

When I behold thy works on high, The moon that rules the night,

And stars that well adorn the sky, Those moving worlds of light; —

Lord! what is man, or all his race,

Who dwells so far below, That thou shouldst visit him with grace,

And love his nature so? — 14

4 That thine eternal Son should bear

To take a mortal form, Made lower than his angels are, To save a dying worm ?

5 Yet, while he lived on earth unknown,

And men would not adore, Behold obedient nature own His Godhead and his power!

6 Let him be crowned with majesty,

Who bowed his head in death; And be his honors sounded high, By all things that have breath.

PSALM 9. Wrath and Mercy.

With my whole heart I'll raise my song,

Thy wonders I '11 proclaim ; Thou sovereign judge of right and wrong

Wilt put my foes to shame.

My God prepares his throne To judge the world in righteousness, And make his vengeance known.

3 Then shall the Lord a refuge prove

For all who are oppressed,

To save the people of his love,

And give the weary rest.

Who dwells on Zion's hill; Who executes his threatening word, And doth his grace fulfill.

2 Whose hands are pure, whose heart is clean, Whose lips still speak the thing they mean ; No slanders dwell upon his tongue ;

He hates to do his neighbor wrong.

3 Firm to his word he ever stood, And always makes his promise good; Nor dares to change the thing he swears, Whatever pain or loss he bears.

4 He never deals in bribing gold,

And mourns that justice should be sold: While others scorn and wrong the poor, Sweet charity attends his door.

5 He loves his enemies, and prays For those that curse him to his face; And doth to all men still the same That he would hope or wish from them.

6 Yet, when his holiest works are done, His soul depends on grace alone: This is the man thy face shall see, And dwell forever, Lord, with thee.

While my Redeemer's near, My Shepherd and my guide,

I bid farewell to arxioiis fear:

My wants are all supplied. To ever fragrant meads.

Where rich abundance crows, His gracious hand indnlgent leads,

And guards my sweet repose. Dear Shepherd, if I stray,

My wandering feet restore; To thy fair pastures guide my way,

And let me r°ve no more. Unworthy, as I am,

Of thy protecting care, Jesus, I plead thy gracious name,

For all my hopes are there.

The Lord my Shepherd is,

I shall be well supplied; Since he is mine, and 1 am his,

What can I want beside? He 1 sads me to the place

Where heavenly pasture grows, Where living waters gently pass,

And full salvation Hows. If e'er I go astray,

He doth my soul reclaim: And guide me in his own right way,

For hLs most holy name.

4 While he affords his aid,

I cannot yield to fear; Though I should walk through deaths dark shade. My Shepherd's with me there.

5 In spite of all my foes,

Thou dost my table spread; My cup with blessings overflows. And joy exalts my head.

6 The bounties of thy love

Shall crown my future days;

Nor from thy house will I remove,

Nor cease to speak thy praise

This is the man may rise, and take The blessings of his grace;

This is the lot of those, that seek The God of Jacob's face.

Our Lord is risen from the dead, Our Jesus is gone up on high ;

The powers of hell are captive led, Dragged to the portals of the sky.

2 There his triumphal chariot waits,

And angels chant the solemn lav: — "Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates! Ye everlasting doors ! give way."

3 Loose all your bars of massy light,

And wide unfold the ethereal scene: He claims those mansions as his right ; Receive the King of glory in.

4 Who is the King of glory — who?

The Lord who all our foes o'ercame ;

Who sin, and death, and hell o'erthrew;

And Jesus is the conqueror's name.

5 Lo! his triumphal chariot waits,

And angels chant the solemn lay: — "Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates! Ye everlasting doors! give way.''

2 But there's a brighter world on high, Thy palace, Lord, above the sky; Who shall ascend that blest abode, And dwell so near his Maker, God?

3 He that abhors and fears to sin, Whose heart is pure, whose hands are clean; Him shall the Lord, the Saviour, bless, And clothe his soul with righteousness.

4 These are the men, the pious race, That seek the God of Jacob's face; These shall enjoy the blissful sight, And dwell in everlasting light.

5 Rejoice, ye shining worlds on high! Behold the King of glory nigh, Who can this King of glory be? The mighty Lord, the Saviour's he!

And brought salvation nigh. 9 He raised me from a horrid pit,

Where, mourning, long I lay; And from my bonds released my feet —

Deep bonds of miry clay.

3 Firm on a rock he made me stand,

And taught my cheerful tongue, To praise the wonders of his hand, In a new thankful song.

4 I '11 spread his works of grace abroad ;

The saints with joy shall hear; And sinners learn to make my God Their only hope and fear.

Without thy cheering grace.

Through all thy temple shine; My God, repeat that heavenly hour, That vision so divine.

Can my best passions move, Or raise so high my cheerful voice,

Wherein no waters be, —

And brightness of thy face, As I have seen thee heretofore Within thy holy place.

3 Since better is thy love than life,

My lips thee praise shall give, I in thy name will lift my hands,

And bless thee while I live: — 48

Remember with delight,

Against their ill design; Display thy love and covenant grace, And show me I am thine.

3 Forgive the sins my heart laments,

The inward thoughts of wrong; The listless hours of case misspent, And make thy grace my song.

From hill to valley flow.

Ships from the isles shall meet, To pour the wealth of ocean In tribute at his feet.

O'er river, sea, and shore, Far as the eagle's pinion

And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing,

A kingdom without end. The heavenly dew shall nourish

A seed in weakness sown, "Whose fruit shall spread and flourish,

And shake like Lebanon.

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. 70

3 Oh, 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 For why? 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.

Mercy and judgment are my song;

And, since they both to thee belong, My gracious God! my righteous King!

To thee my songs aud vows I bring.

2 I will not set mine eyes to wrong,

Reproach shall not to me belong; The faithful in my sight shall be;

The true shall dwell in peace with me.

3 Let wisdom all my actions guide, And let my God with me reside:

No wicked thing shall dwell with me, Which may provoke thy jealousy.

4 Deceivers will I turn away,

Nor in my house shall liars stay; The wicked will I thus reward, And clear the city of the Lord.

0 Lord! to thee my praise I bring, Of mercy and of judgment sing;

In wisdom will I walk at home.

When wilt thou to my dwelling come?

3 Not half so far hath nature placed The rising morning from the west, As his forgiving grace removes The daily guilt of those he loves.

How slowly doth his wrath arise! On swifter wings salvation flies; And if he lets his anger burn, How soon his frowns to pity turn!

Amid his wrath compassion shines; His strokes are lighter than our sins; And while his rod corrects his saints, His ear indulges their complaints.

3 Yet thou canst breathe on dust again, And fill the world with beasts and men; A word of thy creating breath Repairs the wastes of time and death.

4 The earth stands trembling at thy stroke, And at thy touch the mountains smoke;. Yet humble souls may see thy face, And tell their wants to sovereign grace.

Thank and praise Jehovah's name;

For his mercies firm and sure, From eternity the same,

To eternity endure.

2 Let the ransomed thus rejoice,

Gathered out of every land, As the people of his choice,

Plucked from the destroyer's hand.

3 In the wilderness astray,

Hither, thither, while they roam, Hungry, fainting by the way,

Far from refuge, shelter, home, —

4 Then unto the Lord they cry;

He inclines a gracious ear, Sends deliverance from on high, Rescues them from all their fear.

5 To a pleasant land he brings,

Where the vine and olive grow,

Where from flowery hills the springs

Through luxuriant valleys flow.

6 Oh, that men would praise the Lord

Fur his goodness to their race; For the wonders of his word, And the rjches of his grace.

1 O ~ j-fie Dangers of the Ocean.

They who toil upon the deep,

And, in vessels light and frail, O'er the mighty waters sweep,

With the billow and the gale, Mark what wonders God performs, —

When he speaks, and, uncoufined, Rush to battle all his storms,

In the chariots of the wind.

2 Up to heaven their bark is whirled.

On the mountain of the wrave; Down as suddenly 't is hurled

To the abysses of the grave; To and fro they reel — they roll,

As intoxicate with wine; Terrors paralyze their soul,

Helm they quit, and hope resign.

3 Then unto the Lord they cry;

He inclines a gracious ear, Sends deliverance from on high.

Rescues them from all their fear: Oh, that men would praise the Lord,

For his goodness to their race; For the wonders of his word,

And the riches of his grace.

And whence the fright that Sinai feels?

Lyy Tlu Word quickens.

Mv soul lies cleaving to the dust;

Lord, give me life divine; From vain desires and every lust,

Turn ull* these eyes of mine.

2 I need the influence of thy grace

To speed me in thy way. Lest I should loiter in my race Or turn my feet astray.

3 Are not thy mercies sovereign still,

And thou a faithful God' Wilt thou not grant me wanner zeal To run the heavenly road?

4 Does not my heart thy precepts love,

And Ipng to see thy face?

And yet how slow my spirits move Without enlivening grace!

5 Then shall I love thy gospel more,

And ne'er forget thy word, When I have felt its quickening power To draw me near the Lord.

The Holy Low.

Oh how I love thy holy law!

Tifl daily my delight; And thence my meditations draw

Divine advice by night. How doth thy word my heart engage!

How well employ my tongue! And in my tiresome pilgrimage

Yield- me a heavenly song.

'3 Am I a stranger, or at home, 'Tis my perpetual feast: Xot honey dropping from the comb, So much allures the taste.

4 Xo treasures so enrich the mind,

Nor shall thy word be sold

For loads of silver well-refined,

Nor heaps of choicest gold.

5 When nature sinks, and spirits droop,

Thy promises of grace Are pillars to support my hope, And there I write thy praise.

201

PSALM 119. Comfort from the Bible.

Lord! I have made thy won] my choice,

My lasting heritage; There shall my noblest powers rejoice,

My warmest thoughts engage.

2 I'll read the histories; of thy love,

And keep thy laws in sight, While through the promises I rove, With ever-fresh delight.

3 'Tis a broad land of wealth unknown,

Where springs of life arise; Seeds of immortal bliss are sown, And hidden glory lies: —

The best relief that mourners have;

It makes our sorrow- blest: — Our fairest hope beyond the grave,

And our eternal rest.

How precious is the book divine,

By inspiration given! Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine,

To guide our souls to heaven. 3 O'er all the strait and narrow way

Its radiant beams are cast; A light whose never weary ray

Grows brightest at the last.

3 It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts,

In this dark vale of tears; Life, light, and joy it still imparts, And quells our rising fears.

4 This lamp, through all the tedious night

Of life, shall guide our way, Till we behold the clearer light Of an eternal day.

4 Order my footsteps by thy word,

And make my heart sincere; Let sin have no dominion, Lord! But keep my conscience clear.

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

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

To keep his statutes still: Oh, that my Go<f would grant me grace

To know and do his will.

2 Oh, send thy Spirit down, to write

Thy law upon my heart; Nor let my tongue indulge deceit, Or act the liar's part.

3 From vanity turn off my eyes;

Let no corrupt design, Nor covetous desires, arise Within this soul of mine. 82

By what means shall a young man learn

His way to purify? If he according to thy word

Thereto attentive be.

2 Unfeignedly thee have I sought With all my soul and heart:

Oh, let me not from the right path Of thy commands depart.

3 Thy word I in my heart have hid,

That I offend not thee. 0 Lord, thou ever blesse'd art, Thy statutes teach thou me.

4 The judgments of thy mouth each ono

My lips declared have: More joy thy testimonies' way Than riches all me gave.

Shall constantly be set: And, by thy grace, I never will Thy holy word forget.

The holy tribes repair; The Son of David holds his throne, And sits in judgment there.

And, while his awful voice

Divides the sinners from the saints,

We tremble and rejoice. 84

At God's mysterious ways.

Wrought for his captives sad; The Lord hath done.great wonders,

And therefore we are glad. Lord, all the remnant weary

Bring back to Zion still, As brooks in south lands dreary

Their thirsty channels fill.

And strength diffused through all my soul.

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

I pray to be released from guilt,

And freed from sin and Satan's power.

2 More of thy presence, Lord, impart ;

More of thine image let me bear: Erect thy throne within my heart, And reign without a rival there

3 Give me to read my pardon sealed,

And from thy joy to draw my strength: Oh, be thy boundless love revealed In all its height and breadth and length.

4 Grant these requests — I ask no more,

But to thy care the rest resign: Sick, or in health, or rich, or poor, All shall be well, if thou art mine.

O^ The Mercy-sent.

From every stormy wind that blows, From every swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat; 'T is 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; Though sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy-seat.

4 There, there, on eagle wings we soar, . And sense and sin molest no more, And heavencomesdown our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy-seat.

5 Oh, let my hand forget her skill, My tongue be silent, cold, and still, This throbbing heart forget to beat, If I forget the mercy-seat.

Thou, Saviour, from thy throne on high,

Enrobed with light and girt with power, Dost note the thought, the prayer, the sigh,

Of hearts that love the tranquil hour. 2 Now to our souls, withdrawn awhile

From earth's rude noise, thy face reveal ; And as we worship, kindly smile,

And for thine own our spirits seal. 116

3 To thee we bring each grief and care, To thee we fly while tempests lower; Thou wilt the weary burdens bear Of hearts that love the tranquil hour.

That we may here converse with thee: Ah, Lord! behold us at thy feet; Let this the "gate of heaven" be.

That we by faith may see thy face:

Oh, speak, that we thy voice may hear

And let thy presence fill this place.

He hath an ear to hear; To him there's music in a sigh, And beauty in a tear.

And spend the hours of setting day In humble, grateful prayer.

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 cast On him whom I adore.

4 I love by faith to take a view

Of brighter scenes in heaven; The prospect doth my strength renew, While here by tempests driven.

O ■ O Prayer a Power.

There is an eye that never sleeps

Beneath the wing of night; There is an ear that never shuts,

When sink the beams of light. 2 There is an arm that never tires,

When human strength gives way; There is a love that never fails,

When earthly loves decay.

3 That eye is fixed on seraph throngs;

That arm upholds the sky; That ear is filled with angel songs; That love is throned on high.

4 But there's a power which man can wield

When mortal aid is vain, That eye, that arm, that love to reach, That listening ear to gain.

5 That power is prayer, which soars on high.

Through Jesus, to the throne; And moves the hand which moves the world. To bring salvation down!

Up to Jehovah's throne; llr listens to their humble sighs, And sends his blessings down.

Before the morning light — Once on the chilling mount did stay, And wrestle all the night.

4 So Jesus still doth pray

Before the morning bright,

On heavenly mountains far away,

While we toil here in night.

Descend upon life's wave; Come to the bark through midnight air, The storm shall cease to rave.

Nor dare provoke his rod; Come, like the people of his choice, And own our gracious God.

Some fresh memorial of his grace.

And I, perhaps, am near my home; But he forgives my follies past,

And gives me strength for days to come.

Too oft regardless of thy love, Ungrateful, can from thee depart,

And soft the sunbeams lingering there» For these blest hours, the world I leave, Wafted on wings of faith and prayer.

Peace; shines and smiles on all below,— The plain, the stream, the wood, the hill, — ■ All fair with evening's setting glow.

Season of rest! the tranquil soul

Feels the sweet calm, and melts to love,—

And while these sacred moments roll, Faith sees a smiling heaven above.

Nor will our days of toil be long, Our pilgrimage will soon lie trod:

And we shall join the ceaseless song, — The endless Sabbath of our God.

O / O Evening Confession,

From the recesses of a lowly spirit, Our humble prayer ascends; 0 Father!

hear it, Upsoaring on the wings of awe and meek- ness; Forgive its weakness! 2 Let evil thoughts and spirits flee before us; 2 We see thy hand; it leads us, it supports us!

Till morning cometh, watch, 0 Father!

o'er us; In soul and body thou from harm defend us, Thine angels send us.

3 Let pious thoughts be ours when sleep

o'ertakes us;

Our earliest thoughts be thine when morn- ing wakes us;

All sick and mourners, we to thee com- mend them,

Do thou befriend them.

4 We have no refuge, none on earth to

aid us, But thee, 0 Father! who thine own hast

made us; Keep us in life; forgive our sins; deliver Us now and ever.

5 Praise be to thee through Jesus our salva-

tion, God, three in one, the Ruler of creation, High throned, o'er all thine eye of mercy

casting,

Lord everlasting! 140

We hear thy voice; it counsels and it

courts us: And then we turn away; and still thy kindness Forgives our blindness. 3 Oh, how long-suffering, Lord! but thou delightest To win with love the wandering; thou in-

vitest, By smiles of mercy, not by frowns orterr< irs, Man from his errors. 1 Father and Saviour! plant within each bosom The seeds of holiness, and 1 >id them 1 >loss< mi Infragraneeandinbeautybright and vernal, And spring eternal.

5 Then place them in thine everlasting gar- dens, Where angels walk, and seraphs are the

wardens; Where every flower escaped through death's dark portal, Becomes immortal.

?. Here, sinners of an humble frame

May taste his grace, and learn his name; May read, in characters of blood, The wisdom, power, and grace of God.

3 Here, faith reveals, to mortal eyes, A brighter world beyond the skies; Here, shines the light which guides our way From earth to realms of endless day.

4 Oh, grant us grace, almighty Lord! To read and mark thy holy word, Its truths with meekness to receive, And by its holy precepts live.

New regions blest, new powers unfurled, Expanding with the expanding soul, Its radiance shall o'erflow the world,—.

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

And night to night replies. Their silent proclamation

Throughout the earth is heard; The record of creation,

A brighter radiance pouring Than all the pomp of day:

The wanderer surely guiding, It makes the simple wise;

And, evermore abiding, Unfailing joy supplies.

And daintiest fare less pleasure Yields than this food divine.

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

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

The spacious firmament on high,

With all the blue ethereal sky.

And spangled heavens, a sliming frame.

Their great Original proclaim:

The unwearied son, from day to day,

Does his Creator's power display;

And publishes to every land

The work of an almighty hand.

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

And spread the truth from pole to pole.

3 What though in solemn silence, all More round the dark terrestrial bail, — What though do real voire nor sound Amid their radiant orbs be found, — In reason's ear they all rejoice,

And utter forth a glorious voice, For ever singing as they shine, — " The hand that made US is divine."

With better hopes be filled! Thy love the power of thought bestowed;

To thee my thoughts would soar: Thy mercy o'er my life has flowed;

That mercy I adore.

Thy ruling hand I see! Each blessing to my soul more dear

Because conferred by thee. In every joy that crowns my days.

In every pain I bear, My heart shall find delight in praise

Or seek relief in prayer.

3 When gladness wings my favored hour,

Thy love my thoughts shall fill; Resigned, wdien storms of sorrow lower.

My steadfast heart shall know no fear; That heart will rest on thee.

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

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

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

Can my love be warmed to praise.

2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee,

Wretched wanderer, far astray; Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee

From the paths of death away ; Praise, with love's devoutest feeling,

Him who saw thy guilt-born fear, And, the light of hope revealing,

Bade the blood-stained cross appear.

Vainly would my lips express : Low before thy footstool kneeling,

Deign thy suppliant's prayer to bless; Let thy grace, my soul's chief treasure,

Love's pure flame within me raise; And, since words can never measure,

Let my life show forth thy praise.

Angels rejoiced and sweetly sung

At our Redeemer's birth; Mortals! awake; let every tongue

Proclaim his matchless worth.

2 Glory to God, who dwells on high,

And sent his only Son To take a servant's form, and die, For evils we had done!

3 Good-will to men; ye fallen race!

Arise, and shout for joy; He conies, with rich abounding grace, To save, and not destroy.

4 Lord! send the gracious tidings forth,

And fill the world with light, That Jew and Gentile, through the earth, May know thy saving might.

4 / O " The Saviour Comes."

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

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

2 He comes, the prisoner to release,

In Satan's bondage held; The gates of brass before him burst, The iron fetters yield.

3 He comes, from thickest films of vice

To clear the mental ray, And, on the eyes long closed in night,

To pour celestial dav. 176

4 He comes, the broken heart to bind,

The bleeding soul to cure, And, with the treasures of his grace, Enrich the humble poor.

5 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,

Thy welcome shall proclaim, And heaven's eternal arches ring With thy beloved name.

At-t A E. H. SEARS.

4/4 " Glory to God."

Calm on the listening ear of night, Come heaven's melodious strains,

Where wild Judea stretches far Her silver-mantled plains.

2 Celestial choirs, from courts above,

Shed sacred glories there, And angels, with their sparkling lyres, Make music on the air.

3 The answering hills of Palestine

Send back the glad reply; And greet, from all their holy heights, The day-spring from on high.

4 O'er the blue depths of Galilee

There comes a holier calm, And Sharon waves, in solemn praise, Her silent groves of palm.

5 "Glory to God!" the sounding skies

Load with their anthems ring— "Peace to the earth, good-will to men, From heaven's eternal Kin";!"

It came upon the midnight clear,

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

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

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

To hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they come,

With peaceful wings unfurled; And still celestial music floats

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

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

The blessed angels sing.

0 ye, beneath life's crushing load,

Whose forms are bending lew, Who toil along the climbing way,

With painful steps and slow; — Look up! for glad and golden hours

Come swiftly on the wing; Oh, rest beside the weary road,

And hear the angels sing!

For lo! the days are hastening on,

By prophet-bards foretold. When with the ever-circling years

Comes round the age of gold! 182

When peace shall over all the earth

Its final splendors fling, And the whole world send back the song

Which now the angels sing!

I heard the voice of Jesus say. — ■

"Come unto me and rest; Lay down, thou weary one, lay down

Thy head upon my breast!" I came to Jesus as I was,

Weary, and worn, and sad. I found in him a resting-place,

And he hath made me glad.

2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, —

" Behold, I freely give The living water; thirsty one.

Stoop down, and drink, and live!" I came to Jesus, and I drank

Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,

And now I live in him.

3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, —

" 1 am this dark world's light; Look unto me, thy morn shall rise

And all thy day be1 bright!" I looked to Jesus, and I found

In him my Star, my Sun; And in that light of life I'll walk,

Till all my journey's done.

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

CfWO WATTS.

j"« Glorying- in the Cross.

When I survey the wondrous cross, On which the Prince of glory died,

My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt od 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, his feet,

Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown ? .

4 His dying crimson, like a robe,

Spreads o'er his body on the tree; Then I am dead to all the globe, And all the globe is dead to me.

5 Were the whole realm of nature mine,

That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine,

Lemands my soul, my life, my all.

r /-> O CUNNINGHAM.

0UJ "Eloi, Eloi!"

From Calvary a cry was heard —

A bitter and heart-rending cry; M • Saviour! every mournful word

Bespoke thy soul's deep agony. 2 A horror of great darkness fell

On thee, thou spotless, holy One! And all the eager hosts of hell

Conspired to tempt God's only Son.

3 Thescourge, the thorns, thedeepdisgrace —

These thou couldst bear, nor once repine ; But when Jehovah vailed his face, Unutterable pangs were thine.

4 Let the dumb world its silence break;

Let pealing anthems rend the sky; Awake, my sluggish soul, awake! He died, that we might never die.

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

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

2 Though Lord of all, above, below,

He went to Olivet for me: There drank my cup of wrath and woe, When bleeding in Gethsemane.

3 The ever-blessed Son of God

Went up to Calvary for me; There paid my debt, there bore my load, In his own body on the tree.

4 Jesus, whose dwelling is the skies,

Wen! down into the grave for me; There overcame my enemies, There won the glorious victory.

5 'T is finished all: the vail is rent,

The welcome sure, the access free: — - Now then, we leave our banishment, 0 Father, to return to thee!

5UO "The Mystery of Grace."

In evil long I took delight, Unawed by shame or fear,

Till a new object struck my sight, Ami stopped my wild career.

2 I saw One hanging on a tree,

In agony and blood, "Who feed his languid eyes on me, As near his cross I stood.

3 Sure never, till my latest breath,

Can I forget that look; It Beemed to charge m<' with his death, Though not a word he spoke.

4 My conscience felt and owned the guilt;

And plunged me in despair;

i a my -in- his blood had spilt,

And helped to nail him there.

5 A second look he gave, which said,

"I freely all forgive; This blood is for thy ransom paid;

I die, that thou mayst live." G Thus, while his death my sin displays

In all its blackest hue, Such is the mystery of grace,

Jt seals my pardon too.

Z> U y "O Christ of Cod."

O JesjusI sweet the tears I shed,

"While at thy cross 1 kneel, Gaze on thy wounded, fainting head, And all thy sorrows feel.

2 My heart dissolves to see thee bleed,

This heart so hard before; I hear thee for the guilty plead, And grief o'erflows the more.

3 O Christ of God! 0 spotless Lamb!

By love my soul is drawn; Henceforth for ever thine I am; Here life and peace are born.

4 In patient hope the cross I '11 bear,

Thine arm shall be my stay; And thou, enthroned, my soul shalt spare On thy great judgment-day.

How condescending and how kind

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

And pity brought him down.

2 He sunk beneath our heavy woes,

To raise us to his throne; There's ne'er a gift his hand bestows, But cost his heart a groan.

3 This was compassion, like a God,

That when the Saviour knew The price of pardon was his blood, His pity ne'er withdrew.

4 Now, though he reigns exalted high,

His love is still as great ;

Well he remembers Calvary,

Nor let his saints forget.

O sacred Head, now wounded,

With grief and shame weighed down, Now scornfully surrounded

With thorns, thine only crown; O sacred Head, what glory,

What bliss, till now was thine! Yet, though despised and gory,

I joy to call thee mine.

2 What thou, my Lord, hast suffered

Was all for sinners' gain: Mine, mine was the transgression,

But thine the deadly pain: Lo, here I fall, my Saviour!

'Tis I deserve thy place; Look on me with thy favor,

Vouchsafe to me thy grace.

Above all joys beside, When in thy body broken

I thus with safety hide: My Lord of life, desiring

Thy glory now to see, Beside thy cross expiring,

I 'd breathe my soul to thee. 192

To praise thee, heavenly Friend: For this, thy dying sorrow,

Thy pity without end? Lord, make me thine for ever,

Nor let me faithless prove: Oh, let me never, never,

Abuse such dying love.

5 Forbid that I should leave thee;

O Jesus, leave not me! By faith I would receive thee;

Thy blood can make me free! When strength and comfort languish.

And I must hence depart, Release me then from anguish,

By thine own wounded heart.

6 Be near when I am dying,

Oh, show thy cross to me! And for my succor flying,

Come, Lord, and set me free! These eyes, new faith receiving,

From Jesus shall not move; For he who dies believing,

Dies safely — through thy love.

So to o'ershadow him! That lie whogave man's breath,mightknow The very depths of human woe.

The faint, perplexing dread, The mists that hang o'er parting life,

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

Had sunk beneath his tread; It passed not, though to him the grave

Had yielded up its dead. But there was sent him from on high, A gift of strength for man to die. b And was his mortal hour beset

With anguish and dismay? How may we meet our conflict yet,

In the dark, narrow way? How but through him, that path who trod ? Save or we perish, Son of God! 194

In yonder world above, His saints on earth admire his ways,

" 77^ Debt of Love "

Come, every pious heart,

That loves the Saviour's name, Your noblest powers exert

To celebrate his fame; Tell all above, and all below, The debt of love to him you owe. He left his starry crown,

And laid his robes aside, On wings of love came down,

And wept, and bled, and died; What he endured, oh, who can tell, To save our souls from death and hell ? From the dark grave he .rose,

The mansions of the dead, And thence his mighty foes

In glorious triumph led; Up through the sky the Conqueror rode, And reigns on high, the Saviour God. Jesus, we ne'er can pay

The debt we owe thy love; Yet tell us how we may

Our gratitude approve; Our hearts, our all to thee we give; The gift, though small, thou wilt receive. 212

C. WESLEY.

33 ~7 "Rejoice the Lord is King !"

Rejoice ! the Lord is King ;

Your Lord and King adore: Mortals, give thanks and sing,

And triumph evermore! Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice; Rejoice! — again I say, rejoice!

2 Jesus, the Saviour, reigns,

The God of truth and love; When he had purged our stains,

He took his seat above: Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice; Rejoice! — again I say, rejoice!

3 His kingdom can not fail;

He rules o'er earth and heaven; The keys of death and hell

Are to our Jesus given: Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice; Rejoice! — again I say, rejoice!

4 Rejoice in glorious hope:

-Jesus, the Judge, shall come, And take his servants up

To their eternal home: We soon shall hear the archangel's voice; The trump of God shall sound, Rejoice I

THE RISEN LORD.

But wisdom shows a narrow path, With here and there a traveler.

2 "Deny thyself and take thy cross," —

Is the Redeemer's great command: Nature must count her gold but dross, If she would gain this heavenly land.

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.

Create my heart entirely new: Which hypocrites could ne'er attain, Which false apostates never knew.

" One tiling needful."

Jesus, engrave it on my heart, That thou the one thing needful art; I could from all things parted be, But never, never, Lord, from thee. Needful is thy most precious blood, To reconcile my soul to God; Needful is thy indulgent care; Needful thy all-prevailing prayer. Needful thy presence, dearest Lord, True peace and comfort to afford; Needful thy promise, to impart Fresh life and vigor to my heart. 226

4 Needful art thou, my guide, my stay, Through all life's dark and weary way) Nor less in death thou 'It needful be, To bring my spirit home to thee.

2 Behold! he puts his trust in none Of all the spirits round his throne; Their natures, when compared with his, Are neither holy, just, nor wise.

3 But how much meaner things arc they Who spring from dust, and dwell in clay/ Touched by the finger of thy wrath,

We faint and vanish like a moth.

4 From night to day, from day to night, We die by thousands in thy sight; Buried in dust whole nations lie, Like a forgotten vanity.

Not all the outward forms on earth, Nor rites that God has given,

Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth, Can raise a soul to heaven.

2 The sovereign will of God alone

Creates us heirs of grace; Born in the image of his Son, A new, peculiar race.

Breathes on the sons of flesh, New-models all the carnal mind, And forms the man afresh.

From the long sleep of death;

On heavenly things we fix our eyes,

And praise employs our breath.

'■'All become guilty. ' '

Vain are the hopes, the sons of men On their own works have built;

Their hearts, by nature, all unclean, And all their actions, guilt.

Let Jew and Gentile stop their mouths, Without a murmuring word;

And the whole race of Adam stand Guilty before the Lord.

Our faith receives a righteousness, That makes the sinner just.

And trust a pardoning Lord."

When but one .-inner turns, And, with an humble, broken heart,

His sins and errors mourns.

2 Pleased with the news, the saints below

In songs their tongues* employ; Beyond the skies the tidings go, And heaven is filled with joy.

3 Nor angels can their joys contain,

But kindle with new fire; — "The sinner lost is found," they sing, And strike the sounding lyre.

(\nj STEELB.

'-'O God's compassion.

Jesus, — and didst thou leave the sky,

To bear our griefs and woes? And didst thou bleed, and groan and die,

For thy rebellion- foes?

■1 Well might the heaven- with wonder view A love bo strange as thine! No thought of angels ever knew Compassion so divine!

I- there a heart that will not bend

To thy divine control? Descend, <) sovereign love, descend,

And melt that stubborn soul. Oh. may our willing hearts coi

Thy sweet, thy gentle sway; Glad captives of thy matchless grace,

Thy righteous rule obey

To wrestle with my God: I'd plead for his own mercy's sake — I'd plead my Saviour's blood.

And drive my foes away; He know- the meaning of his saints When they in sorrow pray.

«" " Cleanseth from all sin."

I am coming to the cross;

I am poor and weak and blind;

I am counting all but dross;

I shall full salvation find. — Cho.

2 Long my heart has sighed for thee;

Long lias evil dwelt within; Jesus sweetly speaks to me,

I will cleanse you from all siu. — Clio.

3 Here I give my all to thee, —

Friends and time and earthly store; Soul and body thine to be —

Wholly thine for evermore. — Cuo.

4 In the promises I trust;

Now I feel the blood applied; I am prostrate in the dust ;

I with Christ am crucified. — Cno.

+iy-l NEWTON.

1^1 " Come unto Me."

Does the Gospel word proclaim Rest for those thai weary lie? Then, my soul, advance thy claim — Sure that promise speaks to thee! 2 B irdened with a load of sin,

Harrassed with tormenting doubt, Hourly conflicts from within.

Sourly crOS8es from without; — '6 All my little strength is gone,

Sink I must without supply;

Sure upon the earth is none Can more weary be than 1.

4 In the ark the weary dove

Found a welcome resting-place; Thus my spirit longs to prove Rest in Christ, the Ark of grace.

5 Tempest-tossed I long have been,

And the flood increases fast; Open, Lord, and take me in, Till the storm be overpast!

(-7 o Q NEWTO

/ » O "Lovest thou Me?"

'Tis a point I long to know, Oft it causes anxious thought;

Do I love the Lord, or no? Am I his, or am I not?

2 Could my heart so hard remain,

Prayer a task and burden prove, Every trifle give me pain, If I knew a Saviour's love?

3 Yet I mourn my stubborn will,

Find my sin a grief and thrall; Should I grieve for what I feel, If I did not love at all?

4 Could T joy with saints to meet,

Choose the ways I once abhorred, Find at times the promise sweet, If I did not love the Lord?

5 Lord, decide the doubtful case,

Thou who art thy people's Sun; Shine upon thy work of grace, If it be indeed begun.

While the tempest still is high ; Hide me, O my Saviour! hide,

Till the storm of life is past ; Safe into the haven guide;

Oh, receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none;

Hangs my helpless soul on thee; Leave, ah! leave me not alone,

Still support and comfort me. All my trust on thee is stayed;

All my help from thee I bring; Cover my defenceless head

Thou, 0 Christ! art all I want;

More than all in thee I find; Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,

Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name,

I am all unrighteousness; Yile and full of sin I am,

Thou art full of truth and grace.

Plenteous grace with thee is found, —

Grace to pardon all my sin; Let the healing streams abound,

Make and keep me pure within; Thou of life the fountain art,

Freely let me take of thee; Spring thou up within my heart,

Rise to all eternity.

Stand up, my soul, shake off thy fears, And gird the gospel armor on;

March to the gates of endless joy, Where Jesus, thy great Captain's gone.

2 Hell and thy sins resist thy course;

But hell and sin are vanquished foes; Thy Saviour nailed them to the cross, And sung the triumph when he rose.

3 Then let my soul march boldly on,—

Press forward to the heavenly gate; There peace and joy eternal reign,

Anil glittering robes for conquerors wait.

4 There shall I wear a starry crown,

And triumph in almighty grace, While all the armies of the skies Join in my glorious Leader's praise.

Awake, our souls! away, our fears!

Let every trembling thought be gone; Awake, and run the heavenly race,

And put a cheerful courage on!

And mortal spirits tire and faint; But they forget the mighty God,

Who feeds the strength of every saint —

3 The mighty God, whose matchless powei

I< ever new and ever young, And firm endures, while endless years

Their everlasting circles run. 278

From thee, the overflowing spring, Our souls shall drink a fresh supply;

While such as trust their native strength Shall melt away, and droop, and die.

Swift as an eagle cuts the air,

We'll mount aloft to thine abode;

On wings of love our souls shall fly, Nor tire amid the heavenly road!

Has thousands and ten thousands slain.

3 Thou treadest on enchanted ground; Perils and snares beset thee round; Beware of all, guard every part — But most the traitor in thy heart.

The powers of earth, and powers of hell: The Man of Calvary triumphed here: Why should his faithful followers fear?

/jj Our Salvatioti near. — Rom. 13:11-

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

St longer and brighter shine; Nor present things, nor things to come, Shall quench the spark 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 di ibts and fears

Subside at his control; His loving-kindness shall break through The midnight of the soul.

6 B'est is the man, 0 Lord,

Who stays himself on thee; Who waits for thy salvation, Lord, Shall thy salvation see.

2 Through waves, and clouds, and storms,

He gently clears thy way ; Wait thou his time; so shall this night Soon eud iu joyous day.

3 Far, far above thy thought

His counsel shall appear, When fully he the work hath wrought. That caused thy needless fear.

4 What though thou rulest not!

Yet heaven, and earth, and hell Proclaim, God sitteth on the throne, And ruleth all things well.

Concealed from mortal sight, His counsels are divinely wise, And all his judgments right.

3 In God my trust shall stand,

While waves of sorrow roll; In life or death his name shall be The refuge of my soul.

Cease, cease my heart to moan; Betide what may to me, I'll say, His holv will be done!

Is earthly shame or loss? Bright shall the crown of glory be,

My joy still ebbs and flows; But peace with him remains the same, No change Jehovah knows.

I HEATH,

"Watch."— Matt. 26:41.

My soul, be on thy guard,

Ten thousand foes arise; And hosts of sin are pressing hard

To draw thee from the skies.

2 Oh, watch, and fight, and pray I

The battle ne'er give o'er; Renew it boldly every day, And help divine implore.

3 Ne'er think the victory won,

Nor lay thine armor down; Thine arduous work will not be done, Till thou obtain thy crown.

4 Fight on, mv soul, till death

Shall bring thee to thy God! He'll take thee ..t thy parting breath, Up to his blest abode.

4 That, having all things done,

And all your conflicts past, You may o'ercoine through Christ alone, And stand entire at last.

5 From strength to strength go on;

Wrestle, and fight, and pray; Tread all the powers of darkness down, And win the well-fought day.

6 Still let the Spirit cry

In all his soldiers, come! Till Christ the Lord descend from high, And take the conquerors home.

762

C. WESLEY.

The Warfare.— Ef>!i. 6 : 14.

Soldiers of Christ, arise,

And put your armor on, Strong in the strength which God supplies

Through his eternal Son. Strong in the Lord of hosts

And in his mighty power, Who in the strength of Jesus trusts

Is more than conqueror. Stand then in his great might,

With all his strength endued, And take, to arm you for the fight,

The panoply of God.

And watchful at his gate.

2 Let all your lamps be bright,

And trim the golden flame; Gird up your loins as in his sight, For awful is his name.

3 Watch, — 'tis your Lord's command;

And while Ave speak he's near; Mark the first signal of his hand, And ready all appear.

In such a posture found! He shall his Lord with rapture see, And be with honor crowned.

To cheer it after rain. In holy contemplation,

We sweetly then pursue The theme of God's salvation,

Bat he will bear us through; Who gives the lilies clothing,

Will clothe his people too: Beneath the spreading heavens,

No creature but is fed; And he who feeds the ravens,

Will give his children bread. Though vine nor fig-tree neither,

Their wonted fruit should bear, Though all the fields should wither,

Nor flocks nor herds be there;

Yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice,

For while in him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace."

In heavenly love abiding,

No change my heart shall fear, And safe is such confiding,

For nothing changes here: The storm may roar without me,

My heart may low be laid, But God is round about me,

And can I be dismayed?

2 Wherever he may guide me,

No want shall turn me back; My Shepherd is beside me,

And nothing can I lack: His wisdom ever waketh,

His sight is never dim: He knows the way he taketh,

And I will walk with him.

3 Green pastures are before me,

Which yet I have not seen; Bright skies will soon be o'er me,

Where darkest clouds have been; My hope I cannot measure;

My path to life is free; My Saviour has my treasure,

And he will walk with me.

Crown with life beyond the grave.

Come on, my partners in distress, My comrades through the wilderness,

Who still your bodies feel: Awhile forget your griefs and fears, And look beyond this vale of tears,

To that celestial hill.

2 Beyond the bounds of time and space, Look forward to that heavenly place,

The saints' secure abode, On faith's strong eagle pinions rise, And force your passage to the skies,

And scale the mount of God.

H Who suffer with our Master here, We shall before his face appear,

And by his side sit down; To patient faith the prize is sure; And all that to the end endure The cross, shall wear the crown.

4 Thrice blessed, bliss-inspiring hope! It lifts the fainting spirits up;

It brings to life the dead: Our conflicts here shall soon be past, And you and I ascend at last,

Triumphant with our Head. 296

If we from self could rest ; And feel, at heart, that One above, In perfect wisdom, perfect love,

Is working for the best!

2 How far from this our daily life, Ever disturbed by anxious strife,

By sudden, wild alarms! Oh, could we but relinquish all Our earthly props, and simply fall

On thine almighty arms! —

3 Could we but kneel, and cast our load, Ev'n while we pray, upon our God,

Then rise, with lightened cheer, Sure that the Father, who is nigh To still the famished raven's cry,

Will hear, in that we fear!

i Lord! make these faithless hearts of oura Such lessons learn from birds and flowers;

Make them from self to cease, Leave all things to a Father's will, And taste, before him lying still,

Ev'n in affliction, peace.

Yet art thou oft with me;

And earth hath ne'er BO dear a spot, As where I meet with thee.

3 Like some bright dream that comes un-

When slumbers o'er me roll, [sought. Thine image ever fills my thought, And charms my ravished soul.

4 Yet though I have not seen, aud still

Must rest in faith alone; I love thee, dearest Lord! — and will, Unseen, but not unknown.

5 When death these mortal eyes shall seal,

And still this throbbing heart, The rending vail shall thee reveal, All glorious as thou art!

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, begin: His name forbids my slavish fear; His grace removes my sin.

5 While Jews on their own law rely,

And Greeks of wisdom boast, I love the incarnate Mystery, And there I fix my trust.

J- O "To live is Christ."

Jesus, who on his glorious throne Rules heaven, and earth, and sea,

Is pleased to claim me for his own And give himself to me.

2 His person fixes all my love,

His blood removes my fear; And while he pleads for me above, His arm preserves me here.

3 His word of promise is my food,

His Spirit is my guide; Thus daily is my strength renewed, And all my wants supplied.

4 For him I count as gain each loss,

Disgrace for him renown; • Well may I glory in my cross, While he prepares my crown.

And comfort of my'nightsl

My dawuing is begun: He is my soul's sweet morning star, And he my rising sun.

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!

In a believer's ear!

Sowing much and reaping none; Telling us that in the future

Golden harvests shall be won. :} With us when the storm is sweeping

O'er our pathway dark and drear; Waking hope within our bosoms,

Stilling every anxious fear.

4 With us in the lonely valley,

When we cross the chilling stream; Lighting up the steps to glory With salvation's radiant beam.

E ter every trembling heart. 2 Breathe, oh, breathe thy loving Spirit

Tossed upon life's raging billow,

Sweet it is, O Lord! to know Thou didst press a sailor's pillow,

And canst feel a sailor's woe; Never slumbering, never Bleeping,

Though the ni.uht be dark and drear, Than the faithful watch art keeping;

"All, all's well," thy constant cheer.

2 And though loud the wind is howling,

Fierce though Hash the lightnings v<'<\. Darkly though the storm-cloud's scowling

O'er the sailor's anxious head; — Thou canst calm the raging ocean,

All its noise and tumult still. Hush the tempest's wild commotion,

At the bidding of thy will.

3 Thus my heart the hope will cherish,

While to thee I lift mine eve, Tin hi wilt save me * re I perish,

Thou wilt hear the sailor's cry: And though mast and sail be riven,

Soon life's voyage will be o'er; Safely moored in heaven's wide haven,

Storm and tempest vex no more.

Almighty to bring you safe there. ?> Oh, when will the period appear

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

All other ground is sinking .-and.

And earth and hell my course withstand, I triumph over all by faith,

Guarded by his almighty hand. :•> The wilderness affords no food.

But God for my support prepares, Provides me every needful good,

And frees my soul from wants and cares.

2 To us remains nor place nor time; Our country is in every clime:

We can be calm and free from care On any shore, since God is there.

3 While place we seek, or place we shun, The soul finds happiness in none;

But with our God to guide our way, 'Tis equal joy to go or stay.

4 Could we be cast where thou art not, That were indeed a dreadful lot; But regions none remote we call, Secure of finding God in all.

Thou didst from heaven come down, Thou didst of flesh and blood partake,

In all our sorrows one.

Confessed and borne by thee; The gall, the curse, the wrath were thine, To Bet thy members free.

Still one with us thou art; Nor life, nor death, nor depth, nor height, Thy saints and thee can part.

When, seated on thy throne, Thou shalt to wondering worlds display, That thou with us art one.

Hope, to stay our souls on thee; But, oh,— best of all thy graces — Give us thine own charity.

More laborers for the Lord!" 2 We hear the call; in dreams no more

In selfish ease we lie, Bat girded for our Father's work,

0 Holy Saviour! Friend unseen, Since on thine arm thou bid'st me lean, Help me, throughout life's changing scene,

By faith to cling to thee!

2 What though the world deceitful prove, And earthly friends and hopes remove; With patient, uncomplaining love,

Still would I cling to thee.

Still whispers, "Cling to me!"

I ask not now fur gold to gild,

With mocking shine, an aching frame;

The yearning of the mind is stilled — I ask not now for fame.

2 But, bowed in lowliness of mind,

I make my humble wishes known; I only ask a will resigned, 0 Father, to thine own.

3 In vain I task my aching brain,

In vain the sage's thoughts I scan; I only feel how weak I am, How poor and blind is man.

4 And now my spirit sighs for home,

And longs for light whereby to see; And, like a weary child, would come, 0 Father, unto thee.

When sorrowing o'er some stone, I bend, Which covers all that was a friend, And from his voice, his hand, his smile, Divides me, for a little while, My Saviour sees the tears 1 shed, For Jesus wept o'er Lazarus dead.

And oh, when I have safely passed Through every conflict, but the last, — Still, still unchanging, watch beside My painful bed, — for thou hast died; Then point to realms of cloudless day, And wipe my latest tear away.

Christ is our Corner-stone; On him alone we build; With his true saints alone

The courts of heaven are filled: On his great love Of present grace

Our hopes we place, And joys above.

2 Oh, then with hymns of praise

These hallowed courts shall ring! Our voices we will raise, The Three in One to siner:

And thus proclaim In joyful song,

Both loud and long, That glorious Name.

Here may we gain from heaven The grace which we implore,

And may that grace, once given, Be with us evermore, —

Until that day When all the blest

To endless rest Are called away.

O thou that hearest prayer!

Attend our humble cry; And let thy servants share

Thy blessing from on high: We plead the promise of thy word, Grant us thy Holy Spirit, Lord!

Their children when they cry: 372 J "

If they, with love sincere,

Their children's wants supply; Much more wilt thou thy love display, And answer when thy children pray. 3 Our heavenly Father thou, — We — children of thy grace, — Oh, let thy Spirit now

Descend and fill the place; That all may feel the heavenly flame And all unite to praise thy name.

One sole baptismal sign,

One Lord below, above, One faith, one hope divine,

One only watchword, love; From different temples though it rise, One song ascendeth to the skies.

2 Our sacrifice is one,

One Priest before the throne, The slain, the risen Son,

Redeemer, Lord alone; And sighs from contrite hearts that (spring Our chief, our choicest offering.

3 Head of thy church beneath,

The catholic, the true, On all her members breathe,

Her broken frame renew; Then shall thy perfect will be done When Christians love and live as one.

Empower them still to call, And tell each creature under heaven.

From age to age endure: The Angel of the covenant proves, And seals the blessings sure.

To our great fathers given ; He takes young children to his arms, And calls them heirs of heaven.

His love endures the same; Nor from the promise of his grace Blots out the children's name.

While everlasting love displays The choicest of her stores.

And enter while there's room, When thousands make a wretched choice, And rather starve than come ? "

u / ^ Penitent Prayer.

Not worthy, Lord! to gather up the crumbs With trembling hand that from thv table fall, 394

A weary, heavy-laden sinner comes To plead thy promise and obey thy call.

2 I am not worthy to be thought thy child,

Nor sit the last and lowest at thv board ; Too long a wanderer and too oft beguiled, I only ask one reconciling word.

3 One word from thee, my Lord! one smile,

one look, And I could face the cold, rough world

again, And with that treasure in my heart could

brook The wrath of devilsand the scorn ofmen.

4 And is not mercy thy prerogative —

Freemercy, boundless, fat hornless, divine?

Me, Lord! the chief of sinners, me forgive,

And thine the greater glory, only thine.

5 I hear thy voice; thou bid'st me come and

rest; I come, I kneel, I clasp thy pierced feet; Thou bid'st me take my place, a welcome

guest, Among thy'saints,and of thy banquet eat.

6 My praise can only breathe itself in prayer,

My prayer can only lose itself in thee; Dwell thoufor ever in my heart, and there, Lord! let me sup with thee; sup thou with me.

I should live to thee alone; Year by year thy hand hath brought me

On through dangers oft unknown.

When I doubted, sent me light,

Still thine arm has been around me,

All my paths were in thy sight.

Thou canst give the power I need; Through the prayer of faith receiving Strength — the Spirit's strength, indeed.

Wholly rest upon thine arm ; Follow wholly thy direction,

Help me turn to thee when tried, Still my footsteps, Father, viewing, Keep me ever at thy side!

"if " 1 7uould not live ahvay."—Job 1 : 16.

I would not live alway: I ask not to stay Where storm after storm rises dark o'er

the way; The few lurid mornings that da wn on us here Are enough for life's woes, full enough for

its cheer.

Iwouldnotlivealway,thusfetteredbysin — Temptation without and corruption within: Ev'n the rapture of pardon is mingled with

fears. And the cup of thanksgiving with peni- tent tears. I would not live alway; no, welcome the

tomb; Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not

its gloom; There sweet be my rest till he bid me arise To haUhimm triumph descending theskies.

Who, who would live alway, away from

his God, A way fin mi yon heaven, that blissful abode, "Where the rivers of pleasure How o'er

the bright plains. And the noontide of glory eternally reigns? 4 Where t he saintsofallagesin harmony meet, Their Saviour and brethren transported

to greet; While the anthems of rapture unceas- ingly roll, And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul.

Irjft HEBER.

/ U (St'lg also SCOTLAND, /. 237. )

Thou art gone to the grave ! but we will not deplore thee, Though sorrows and darkness encom- pass the tomb, The Saviour hath passed through its portals before thee, And the lamp of his love is thy guide through the gloom. Thou art gone to the grave! we no longer behold thee, Nor tread the rough paths of the world by thy side; But the wide arms of mercy are spread to enfold thee, And sinners may hope, for the Sinless hath died. Thou art gone to the grave! and, its man- sion forsaking, Perchance thy weak spirit in doubt lingered long; But the sunshine of glory beamed bright on thy waking, And the sound thou didst hear was the seraphim's song. Thou art gone to the grave! but we will not deplore thee, Since God was thy ransom, thy guar- dian, and guide: lie gave thee, he took thee, and he will restore thee; And death has no sting, since the Saviour hath died.

Why should we start, and fear to die ?

What timorous worms we mortals are! Death is the gate of endless joy,

And yet we dread to enter there.

2 The pains, the groans, the dying strife

Fright our approaching souls away; We still shrink back again to life, Fond of our prison and our clay.

3 Oh, if my Lord would come and meet,

My soul should stretch herwingsin haste, Fly fearless through death's iron gate, Nor feel the terrors as she passed.

4 Jesus can make a dying bed

Feel soft as downy pillows are, While on his breast I lean my head, And breathe my life out sweetly there!

•*■■*■/" " He shall enter into peace.

Gently, my Saviour, let me down, To slumber in the arms of death;

I rest my soul on thee alone,

Ev'n till my last, expiring breath.

2 Soon will the storm of life be o'er,

And I shall enter endless rest; There I shall live to sin no more, And bless thy name, for ever blest.

3 Bid me possess sweet peace within;

Let child-like patience keep my heart; Then shall I feel my heaven begin,

Before my spirit hence depart. 428

Oh, speed thy chariot, God of love!

And take me from this world of woe; I long to reach those joys above,

And bid farewell to all below.

There shall my raptured spirit raise Still louder notes than angels sing, —

High glories to Immanuel's grace, My God, my Saviour, and my King!

*■ I O Death of the Righteous.

How blest the righteous when he dies, — When sinks a weary soul to rest!

How mildly beam the closing eyes! How gently heaves the expiring breast !

So fades a summer-cloud away;

So sinks the gale when storms are o'er; So gently shuts the eye of day;

So dies a wave along the shore.

A holy quiet reigns around, —

A calm which life nor death destroys; Nothing disturbs that peace profound,

Which his unfettered soul enjoys.

Farewell, conflicting hopes and fears!

Where lights and shades alternate dwell; How bright the unchanging morn appears !

Farewell, inconstant world! farewell!

Life's duty done, as sinks the clay, Light from its load the spirit flies;

While heaven and earth combine to say, — . " How blest the righteous when he dies !"

That death hath lost its venomed sting!

The hour of my departure's come; I hear the voice that calls me home; At last, O Lord! let trouble cease, And let thy servant die in peace.

2 Not in mine innocence I trust; I bow before thee in the dust; And through my Saviour's blood alone I look for mercy at thy throne.

3 I leave the world without a tear, Save for the friends I held so dear; To heal their sorrows, Lord! descend, Aud to the friendless prove a Friend.

1 I come, I come, at thy command; I give my spirit to thy hand; Stretch forth thine everlasting arms, And shield me in the last alarms.

2 Is there no kind, no lenient art, To heal the anguish of the heart ? Spirit of grace! be ever nigh, Thy comforts are Hot made to die.

3 Thy powerful aid supports the soul, And nature owns thy kind control; While we peruse the sacred page, Our fiercest griefs resign their rage.

Then gentle patience smiles on pain, And dying hope revives again; Hope wipes the tear from sorrow's eye, And faith points upward to the sky.

Why do we mourn departing friends, Or shake at death's alarms ?

As fast as time can move? Nor would we wish the hours more slow, To keep us from our love.

Their bodies to the tomb? There the dear flesh of Jesus lay,

And scattered all the gloom. i The graves of all the saints he blessed,

And softened every bed; Where should the dying members rest,

But with the dying Head?

5 Thence he arose, ascending high,

And showed our feet the way; Up to the Lord we, too, shall fly, At the great rising day.

And bid our kindred rise; Awake! ye nations under ground; Ye saints! ascend the skies.

Whose life to God was given? Gladly to earth their eyes they close, To open them in heaven.

Where, life's vain tumults past, The appointed house, by heaven's decree,

Receives us all at last.

2 The wicked there from troubling cease;

Their passions rage no more; And there the weary pilgrim rests From all the toils he bore.

And, as the Saviour rose, The grave again shall yield her trust, And end my deep repose.

1 I pp ■• Ye sliall live also."— John 14

Jesus lives! no longer now

Can thy terrors, Death, appall me;

Jesus lives! and well I know, From the dead he will recall me;

Better life will then commence,

This shall be my confidence.

2 Jesns lives! to him the throne

Over all the world is given; I shall go where he is gone,

Live and reign with him in heaven: God is pledged; weak doubtings, hence! This shall be my confidence.

3 Jesus lives! I know full well,

Naught from him my heart can sever; Life nor death, nor powers of hell,

Joy nor grief, henceforth, for ever: God will power and grace dispense, This shall be my confidence.

4 Jesus lives! henceforth is death

Entrance into life immortal; 438

Calmly I can yield my breath,

Fearless tread the frowning portal ; Lord, when faileth flesh and sense, Thou wilt be my confidence!

4VJKJ Death of an infant.

Tender Shepherd, thou hast stilled Now thy little lamb's brief weeping;

Ah, how peaceful, pale, and mild In its narrow bed 'tis sleeping,

And no sigh of anguish sore

Heaves that little bosom more.

2 In this world of care and pain,

Lord, thou wouldst no longer leave it; To the sunny heavenly plain

Thou dost now with joy receive it ; Clothed in robes of spotless white, Now it dwells with thee in light.

3 All, Lord Jesus, grant that we

Where it lives may soon be living, And the lovely pastures see

That its heavenly food are giving; Then the gain of death we prove, Though thou take what most we love.

Cease, ye mourners, cease to languish O'er the grave of those you love;

Pain and death, and night and anguish Enter not the world above.

2 While our silent steps are straying

Lonely thro' night's deepening shade, Glory'- brightest beams are playing Round the happy Christian's head.

3 Light and peace at once deriving

From the hand of God most high, In liis glorious presence living, They shall never, never die.

4 Now, ye mourners, cease to languish

O'er the grave of those you love; Far removed from pain and anguish, They are chanting hymns above.

Tarkv with me, O my Saviour!

For the day is passing by; See! the shades of evening gather,

And the night is drawing nigh.

2 Deeper, deeper grow the shadows,

Paler now the glowing west, Swift the night of death advances; Shall it be the night of rest?

3 Lonely seems the vale of shadow;

Sinks inv heart with troubled fear; Give me faith for clearer vision,

Speak thou, Lord, in words of cheer.

-1 Let me hear thy voice behind me, Calming all these wild alarms; Let me, underneath my weakness, Feel the everlasting arms.

5 Feeble, trembling, fainting, dying, Lord, I cast myself on thee; Tarry with me through the darkness; While I sleep, still watch by me.

G Tarry with me, 0 my Saviour! Lay my head upon thy breast Till the morning; then awake me — Morning of eternal rest!

ITAO HASTINGS.

Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding O'er the spoils that death has won,

We would at this solemn meeting, Calmly say, — thy will be done.

2 Though cast down, we're not forsaken;

Though afflicted, not alone; Thou didst give, and thou hast taken; Blessed Lord, — thy will be done.

3 Though to-day we're fdled with mourning,

Mercy still is on the throne; With thy smiles of love returning, We can sing — thy will be done.

4 By thy hands the boon was given,

Thou hast taken but thine own: Lord of earth, and God of heaven, Evermore, — thy will be done!

Prepare, my soul, to meet him.

At the last trumpet's sounding, Caught up to meet him in the skies,

With joy their Lord surrounding; No gloomy fears their souls dismay, His presence sheds eternal day

On those prepared to meet him.

3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears,

Behold his wrath prevailing; For they shall rise, and find their tears

And sighs are unavailing: The day of grace is past and gone; Trembling they stand before the throne,

All unprepared to meet him.

"Depart from me, ye cursed!" The blissful saints ascend on high,

Clothed with the light of heaven; Their Saviour leads them thro' the sky; —

What burst of joy is given! For now they see, with raptured eyes, That faith and love receive the prize,

Through grace rich, free, abounding. : And see! — they take the mansions bright,

Where God prepared their dwelling; Like angels now; — and, to their sight,

Their joys are onward swelling; They knew in part, — now, all is clear; Nor doubt, nor sorrow enters here,

Adoring saints and angels fall; And, with delightful worship, own Hissmile their bliss, their heaven, their all.

While tuneful hallelujahs rise, And love and joy, and triumph spread Through all the assemblies of the skies.

4 He smiles, — and seraphs tune their songs

To boundless rapture, while they gaze; Ten thousand thousand joyful tongues Resound his everlasting praise.

Shall join at last the heavenly choir: Oh, may the joy-inspiring theme Awake our faith and warm desire!

Now let our souls, on wings sublime, Rise from the vanities of time, Draw back the parting vail, 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 ? 450

3 Should aught beguile us on the road, When we are walking back to God? For strangers into life we come, And dying is but going home.

4 Welcome, sweet hour of full discharge! That sets our longing souls at large. Unbinds our chains, breaks up our cell, And gives us with our God to dwell.

Is the young dawn of heaven below.

Hours, how tardy is your pace! Ere with Him, the high and holy,

I hold converse face to face. Here is naught but care and mourning;

Comes a joy, it will not stay; Fairly shines the sun at dawning,

Night will soon o'ercloud the day.

2 Onward then! not long I wander

Ere my Saviour comes for me, And with him abiding yonder,

All his glory I shall see. Oh, the music and the singing

Of the host redeemed by love! Oh, the hallelujahs ringing

Through the halls of light above!

Can I trust an angel's care? 0 thou merciful All-seeing!

Beam around my spirit there.

2 Blessed fold! no foe can enter;

And no friend departeth thence; Jesus is their sun, their centre,

.And their shield Omnipotence! Blessed, for the Lamb shall feed them,

All their tears shall wipe away, To the living fountains lead them,

Till fruition's perfect day.

3 Lo! it comes, that day of wonder!

Louder chorals shake the skies: Hades' gates are burst asunder;

See! the new-clothed myriads risef Thought! repress thy weak endeavor;

Hark! the sound of holy voices

Chanting at the crystal sea, Hallelujah, hallelujah,

Hallelujah, Lord, to thee!

2 Multitudes, which none can number,

Like the stars in glory stand, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of victory in their hands.

3 They have come from tribulation,

And have washed their robes in blood, Washed them in the blood of Jesus; Tried they wer,e and firm they stood

Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented, Sawn asunder, slain with sword,

They have conquered death and Satan By the might of Christ the Lord.

5 Now they reign in heavenly glory, Now they walk in golden light,

Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bliss and infinite.

6 Love and peace they taste for ever, And all truth and knowledge see

In the Beatific Vision Of the blessed Trinity!

Great Redeemer, Friend of sinners!

Thou hast wondrous power to save; Grant me grace, and still protect me,

Over life's tempestuous wave.

May my soul, with sacred transport, View the dawn while yet afar;

And, until the sun arises,

Lead me by the Morning Star.

See the happy spirits, waiting

On the banks beyond the stream;

Sweet responses still repeating, — Jesus, Jesus is their theme.

Swiftly roll, ye lingering hours,

Seraphs, lend your glittering wings;

Love absorbs my ransomed powers, Heavenly sounds around me ring!

Jerusalem, the golden,

With milk and honey blest! Beneath thy contemplation

Sink heart and voice oppressed: I know not, oh, I know not

What social joys are there, What radiancy of glory,

What light beyond compare.

2 They stand, those halls of Zion,

All jubilant with song, And bright with many an angel,

And all the martyr throng; The Prince is ever in them,

The daylight is serene; The pastures of the blessed

Are decked in glorious sheen.

3 There is the throne of David;

And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph,

The shout of them that feast: And they who, with their Leader,

Have conquered in the fight, For ever and lor ever

Are clad in robes of white. 464

Short toil, eternal rest; For mortals, and for sinners,

A mansion with the blest!

2 And there is David's fountain,

And life in fullest glow; And there the light is golden,

And milk and honey flow; The light, that hath no evening,

The health, that hath no sore, The life, that hath no ending,

But lasteth evermore.

3 There Jesus shall embrace us,

There Jesus be embraced, — That spirit's food and sunshine,

Whence earthly love is chased: Yes! God, my King and Portion.

In fullness of his grace, We then shall see for ever,

And worship- face to face.

Proclaim the Bridegroom near, Go, meet him, as he cometh,

With hallelujahs clear. The saints, who here in patience

Their cross and sufferings bore, With him shall reign for ever,

When sorrow is no more: Around the throne of glory

The Lamb shall they behold, Adoring casl before him

Their diadems of gold.

While, with ceaseless course, the sun

Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run,

Nevermore to meet us here: Fixed in an eternal state,

They have done with all below; We a little longer wait;

But how little none can know.

2 As the 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.

3 Thanks for mercies past receive;

Pardon of our sins renew ; Teach us henceforth how to live,

With eternity in view: Bless thy word to old and young;

Fill us with a Saviour's love; When our life's short race is run,

May we dwell with thee above. 472

While our grateful thanks we tell, That, sustained by thee, we now Bid the parting year — farewell!

3 All its numbered days are sped,

All its busy scenes are o'er, All its joys for ever fled, All its sorrows felt no more.

4 Mingled with the eternal past,

Its remembrance shall decay; Yet to be revived at last At the solemn judgment-day.

5 All our follies, Lord, forgive!

Cleanse us from each guilty stain; Let thy grace within us live,

That we spend not years in vain. G Then, when life's last eve shall come,

3 For the Lord our God shall come, And - 1 1 iA 1 1 take bis harvest home: From his field shall in that day All offences pnrge away:

Give his angels charge at last In the fire the tares to cast: Bat the fruitful ears to store In his garner evermore.

4 Then, thou Church Triumphant, come, Raise the song of Harvest Home! All are safely gathered in, Free from sorrow, free from siu: There, for ever purified, In God's garner to abide: Come, ten thousand angels, come, Raise the glorious Harvest Home!

Swell the anthem, raise the song; Praises to our God belong; Saint- and angels join to sing Praises to the heavenly King.

2 Blessings from his liberal hand Flow around this happy land: Kent by him, no foes annoy; Peace and freedom we enjoy.

3 Here, beneath a virtuous sway May we cheerfully obey; Never feel oppression's rod, Ever own and worship God.

4 Hark! the voice of nature sings Praises to the King of kings; Let as join the choral song, And the grateful notes prolong.

Of every clime and coast, Oh, hear us for our native land,

The land we love the most.

With peace our borders bless, With prosperous times our cities crown, Our fields with plenteousness.

3 Unite us in the sacred love

Of knowledge, truth, and thee: And let our hills and valleys shout The songs of liberty.

Since Jesus freely did appear

To grace a marriage feast, Dear Lord, we ask thy presence here,

To make a wedding guest. 2 Upon the bridal pair look down,

Who now have plighted hands; Their union with thy favor crown,

And bless the nuptial bands. 474

3 Oh, may each soul assembled here, Be married, Lord, to thee! Clad in thy robes, made white and fair, To spend eternity !

See, gracious God, before thy throne, Thy mourning people bend!

'Tis on thy sovereign grace alone, Our humble hopes depend.

2 Alarming judgments from thy hand,

Thy dreadful power display; Yet mercy spares this guilty land, And yet we live to pray.

3 Oh, bid us turn, almighty Lord,

By thy resistless grace; Then shall our hearts obey thy word, And humbly seek thy face.

We come, O Lord, before thy throne,

And, with united plea, We meet and pray for those who roam

Far off upon the sea.

2 Oh, may the Holy Spirit bow

The sailor's heart to thee, Till tears of deep repentance flow, Like rain-drops in the sea!

3 Then may a Saviour's dying love

Pour peace into his breast, And waft him to the port above Of everlasting rest.

Thee we adore, eternal Name!

And humbly own to thee How feeble is our mortal frame,

What dying worms are we! 2 Th<> year rolls round, and steals away

The breath that first it gave; Whate'er we do, whate'er we be,

We 're traveling to the grave.

Great God! on what a slender thread

Hang everlasting things! The eternal state of all the dead

Upon life's feeble strings!

Infinite joy, or endless woe,

Attends on every breath; And yet, how unconcerned we go

Upon the brink of death !

5 Waken, 0 Lord, our drowsy sense, To walk this dangerous road! And if our souls are hurried hence, May they be found with God.

Awake, ye saints! and raise your eyes, And raise your voices high:

Awake, and praise that sovereign love, That shows salvation nigh.

2 On all the wings of time it flies, Each moment brings it near: Then welcome each declining day, Welcome each closing year.

o Not many years their rounds shall run, Nor many mornings rise, Ere all its glories stand revealed To our admiring eyes.

Thus far thine arm has led us on; Thus far we make thy mercy known; And while we tread this desert land, New mercies shall new songs demand.

1 How amiable are thy | tab-er- | nacles, O | Lord— | of— | hosts! ||

PSALM 90.

Lord, thou hast been our | dwelling- | place, || In | all — | gener- | ations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the | earth the | world, || Even from everlasting to ever- | lasting, | thou art | God.

3 Thou turnest man | tode-| struction; || And say est, Re- 1 turn, ye | children- -of

4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday, | when • • it is | past,

as a | watch — | in the | night.

5 Thou earnest them away as with a flood; they are | as a | sleep: || In the morning

they are like | grass which | groweth | up.

6 In the morning it flourisheth, and | groweth | up; || In the evening it is cut | down,

and j wither- | eth. 1 For we are consumed | by thine | anger, || And by thy | wrath — | are we | troubled.

8 Thou hast set our iniquities | before | thee, || Our secret sins in the | light- -of thy |

counte- | nance.

9 For all our days are passed away | in thy | wrath: || We spend our years as a |

tale — | that is | told.

10 The days of our years are three-score years and ten; and if by reason of strength

they be | four-score | years, || Yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, | and we | fly a- | way.

11 Who knoweth the power | of thine | anger? || Even according to thy fear, | so — | is thy | wrath.

So teach us to | number- -our | days, |[ That we may apply our | hearts — | unto |

wisdom. Glory be to the Father, etc.

From all iniquity release; Oh, remember Calvary, And bid us go in peace!

Thine holy day's returning

Think gently of the erring one

This child we dedicate to thee

This is not my place of resting

This is the day the Lord hath made

Thou art gone to the grave ! but we will. .

Thou art gone up on high

Thou art my hiding-place, O Lord

Thou art my portion, O my God

Thou art the Way : to thee alone

Thou from whom we never part

Though famt, yet pursuing, we go our. . .

Though I speak with angel tongues

Though now the nations sit beneath

Though sorrows rise and dangers roll

Though troubles assail

Thou God of hope, to thee we bow

Thou God of love, thou ever blest

Thou God of sovereign grace

Thou lovely source of true delight

Thou only Sovereign of my heart

Thou, Saviour, from thy throne on high . .

Thou shalt arise, and mercy have

Thou very present Aid

Thou who art enthroned above

Thou who roll'st the year around

Thou ! whose almighty word

Through all the changing scenes of life . . .

Through every age, eternal God !

Through sorrow's night, and danger's path.

Thus far the Lord has led me on

Thy Father's house ! thine own bright . . .

Thy glory, Lord, the heavens declare

Thy home is with the humble, Lord

Thy listening ear, O Lord, incline

Thy mercy, Lord, is in the heavens

Thy name, Almighty Lord

Thy way, not mine, O Lord

Thy way, O Lord, is in the sea

' ' Thy will be done !" In devious way

Time is winging us away

Time, thou speedest on but slowly

'T is a point I long to know

'T is by the faith of joys to come

'T is by thy strength the mountains stand . " 'T is finished !" — so the Saviour cried . . .

T is God the Spirit leads

Tis midnight ; and on Olive's brow

'T is my happiness below

T is not that I did choose thee

To-day the Saviour calls

Together with these symbols, Lord

To God the only wise

To heaven I lift my waiting eyes

To him that chose us first

To Jesus, our exalted Lord

To our Redeemer's glorious name

To spend one sacred day

Tossed upon life's raging billow

To thee I lift my spul

To thee, most high and holy God

To thee my God and Saviour

To thee, O God, we raise

Welcome, delightful morn

Welcome, sweet day of rest

We stand in deep repentance

We would see Jesus — for the shadows-

What are those soul-reviving strains

What cheering words are these

What equal honors shall we bring

What finite power, with ceaseless toil

What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone . . .

What is life ? 't is but a vapor

What shall I render to my God

What shall we render, bounteous Lord . . .

What sinners value I resign

What various hindrances we meet

When adverse winds and waves arise

When all thy mercies, O my God

When along life's thorny road

When downward to the darksome tomb. . When gathering clouds around I view. . . .

When God arose, the nation

When God is nigh, my faith is strong. . . .

When God, of old, came down from

When human hopes all wither

When I can read my title clear

When Israel, freed from Pharaoh's hand. .

When I survey the wondrous cross

When I view my Saviour bleeding

When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay

When Jordan hushed his waters still
