BE IT REMEMBERED, That on the sixteenth day of October. A. D. 1830, in the fifty-fifth year of the Independence of the United States of America, Joshua Leavitt, of the said Distiict, has deposited in tnis office, the title of a book, the right whereof he claims as author, in the words following, to wit:

" The Christian Lyre. By Joshua Leavitt." In conformity to the Act of Congress of the United States, entitled, ■An >ct for the encouragement of learning, oy securing the copies Of Maps, Charts U"d Books, to the Luthors and proprietors of cue h copies, during t 'e time therein mentioned." And also to an Act, en- titled " An A'U. supplementary to an Act, entitled an Act for the en- couragement ot Learning, by seeming tne copies of Maps, Charts, and Books, to the authors and proprietors of such copies, during the times theicin mentioned, and extending the benefits thereof to the arid of de&iguiug, engraving, and etching historical and other prints."

FRED. J. BETTrf, Clerk of the Southern District of New York.

PREFACE.

Every person conversant with revivals must have observed, tbf whenever meetings for prayer and conference assume a special in- terest, there is a desire to use hymns and music of a different charac- ter from those ordinarily heard in the church. Nettleron's Village Hymns iti a good decree meets the first want. Joeelyn's Zion's Harp partially supplies the other. But both are felt to be incomplete, as they are wanting in many pieces, which have proved of great use in revivals.

The usefulness also of many excellent hymns in all our modera collections, has been prevented by the inability of singers to find tunes adapted to the various subjects and metres. The " Christian Lyre" is undertaken with a view to meet both these deficiencies. It is in- tended to contain a collection of such pieces as are specially adapted to evening meetings and social Worship, and chiefly such as are not found in our common collections of sacred music.

As the work is not designed to please scientific musicians, so much as to profit plain christians, reference will be had, chiefly, to the known popularity and good influence of what is selected. And it is intended to embrace the music that is most current among different denominations of christians.

As the number of parts is apt to distract the attention of an audience, or to occupy them with the music instead of the sentiment, the tunes here printed will generally be accompanied with only a simple bass, and sometimes not even with that. In a vast multitude of cases the religious effect of a hymn is heightened by having ail sing the air only. Possessing no musical skill hpvpnd that of ordinary plain singers. I send out my work, without pretensions. If it aids the progress of Christ's cause, I shall be rewarded. If not, I shall be accepted accord- ing to what I had, and not according to what L had not. And it will prepare the way for some other person to do it better. OBSERVE, In the treble the lines and spaces, beginning at the space beneath the lower line, are calleo, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Iu the bass they are F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A, B. The natural place of Mi is in B.

If B be flat, Mi is in E.

If B and E be flat, Mi is in A.

If B, E, and A be flat, Mi is in D.

If B, E, A, and D be flat, Mi is in G.

If B, E, A, D, and G be flat, Mi is in C

If F be sharp, Mi i.5 in F.

If F and C be sharp, Mi is in C.

If F, C and G bo sharp, Mi is in G.

If F, C, G and D be sharp, Mi is in D.

If F, C, G, D and A be sharp, Mi is in A.

1. THE NEW YEAR.

1 WHILE with ceaseless course

the sun Hasted through the former year. Many souls their race have run, Never more to meet us here; Fix'ii in an eternal state, They have done with all be- low, 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 skiefl Darts, and leaves no trace be- hind ; Swiftly thus our fleeting days Bear us down life's rapid stream ; Upwards, Lord, our spirits raise; All below is but a dream.

3 Thanks for mercies past re-

ceive, Pardon of our sins renew: Teach us henceforth how to Jive, With eternity in view : Bless thy word to young and old, Fill us with a Savior's love; And when life's short tale is told, May we dwell with thee above.

2. TURN, WHY WILL YE DIE.

1 Sinner's, turn, why will ye

die? God, your Maker, asks you

why? God, who did your being give, Made you with himself to live; He the fatal cause demands, A?ks the work ofhisown hands, Why, ye thankless creatures,

why Will ye cross his love, and die ?

2 Sinners, turn, why will ye die 7 Christ your Savior, asks you

why? Hp who did your souls retrieve, Died himself that ye might iive. Will you let him die in vain? Crucify your Lord again ? Why, ye ransom'd sinners, why Will ye slight his grace, and

die?

3 Sinners, turn, why will ye die ? God, the Spirit, asks you why ? He who all your lives hath

strove, Woo'd you to embrace his love: Will ye not his grace receive 1 Will ye still refuse to live ? Why, ye long sought sinners

why Will you grieve your God, anA

die?

3. Hearts of Stone.

HEARTS of stone, relent, relent, Break, by Jesus' cross subdued ;

See his body, mangled — rent, Cover'd with a gore of blood,

Sinful soul, what hast thou done!

Murder'd God's eternal Son.

Yes, our sins have done the deed, Drove the nails that fix'd him there

Crowu'd with thorns his sacred head, Pierced him with a soldier's spear;

Made his soul a sacrifice,

For a sinful world he dies.

Will you let him die in vain,

Still to death pursue your Lord ;

Open tear his wounds again, Trample on his precious blood ?

No ! with all my sins I'll part,

Savior, take my broken heart.

1 * MERCY, O thou son of David !"

Thus the blind Bartimeus pray'd ; " Others by thy word are saved, Now to me afford thine aid."

2 Many for his crying chid him,

"But he call'd the louder still; Till the gracious Savior bid him,

" Come, and ask me what you will."

3 Money was not what he wanted,

Though by begging used to live; But he ask'd, and Jesus granted

Alms which none but he could give.

4 " Lord, remove this grievous blindness,

Let my eyes behold the day !" Straight he saw, and won by kindness, Follow'd Jesus in the way.

5 Now, methinks, I hear him praising,

Publishing to all around ; " Friends, is not my case amazing ? What a Savior I have found !

6 " Oh ! that all the blind but knew him,

And would be advised by me ! Surely they would hasten to him, He would cause them all to see."

5. GENTLY, LORD.

1 Gently, Lord, oh ! gently lead

us Through this lowly vale of tears, And, oh Lord, in mercy give us Thy rich grace in all our fears. Oh! refresh us — Oh ! refresh us with thy grace.

2 Though ten thousand ills beset

us, From without and from with- in, Jesus says he'll ne'er forget us, But will save from every sin. Therefore praise him — Praise the great Redeemer's name.

3 Though distresses now attend

thee, And thou tread'st the thorny

road ; His ri<:ln hand shall still defend

thee ; Soon he'll bring thee home

to God !

Therefore praise him — Praise the great Redeemer's

name.

4 Oh, that I could now adore him,

Like the heavenly host above, Who for ever bow before him,

And unceasing sing his love! Happy songsters! When shall I your chorus join ?

6. ONE THERE IS.

1 One there is, above all others,

Well deserves the name of

Friend ;

His is love, beyond a brother's,

Co6tly,free,and knows no end.

Which of all our friends to save us, Could or would have shed his blood 1 But this Savior died to have us Reconciled in him to God.

2 When he lived on earth abased, Friend of sinners was hia name ; Now, above all glory raised,

He rejoices in the same Oh, for grace our hearts to soft- en ! Teach us, Lord, at length to love ; We, alas ! forget too often, What a friend we have above.

7. OXCE, O LORD.

1 Once, O Lord, thy garden flou-

rish'd, Every part look'd gay and green ; Then thy word our spirits nou- rish'd, Happy seasons we haveseen ! But a drought has since suc- ceeded, And a sad decline we see ; Lord, thy help isgreatly needed, Help can only come from thee.

2 Some, in whom we once de-

lighted, We shall meet no more below; Some, alas ! we fear are blight- ed,— Scarce a single leaf they show. Dearest Savior, hasten hither, Thou canst make them bloom again ; Oh, permit them not to wither Let not all our hopes be vain !

8. LIFE'S BILLOWS.

a LIGHT OF THOSE.

1 Toss'd upon life's raging bil-

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

And canst feel a sailor's wo. Never slumbering, never sleep- ing, Though the night be dark and drear, Thou the faithful watch art keep-

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

2 And though loud the wind is

howling, Fierce though flash the light- nings red ; Darkly, though the storm-clcud'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 commo- tion, At the bidding of thy will.

3 Thus my heart the hope will

cherish. While to thee I lift mine eye ; Thou wilt save me ere I perish,

Thou wilt hear the sailor's cry. And though mast and sail be riven, Life's short voyage will soon be o'er ; Safely moor d in heaven's wide haven, Storm and tempest vex no more.

1 Light of those whose dreary dwelling Borders on the shades of death, Come, and by thy love's reveal- ing, Dissipate the clouds beneath : The new heaven and earth's Cre- ator, Tn our deepest darkness rise, Scattering all the night of nature, Pouring eye-sight on our eyes.

2 Still we wait for thine appear- ing ; Life and joy thy beams impart, Chasing all our fears, and cheer- ing Every poor, benighted heart : Come, ami manifest the favor Thou hast for the rausom'd race ; Come, thou glorious God and Sa- vior, Come, and bring thy gospel grace.

3 Save us, in thy great compas sion,

O thou mild, pacific Prince ! Give the knowledge of salvation,

Give the pardon of our sins ; By thine all-sufficient merit,

Every burden'd soul release J Every weary, wandering spirit,

Guide into thy perfect peace.

10. 'TIS A POINT.

t 'Tis a point T Ion? to know, Oft it causes anxious thought: Do I love the Lord, or no ?

Am [ his or am I not 1

2 If I love, whv am I thus?

Why this dull, this lifeless

frame ? Hard'y,sure. can theybe worse, Who have never heard his

name.

3 Could my heart so hard remain,

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

4 When [ turn mine eyes within,

All is dark, and vain, and wild; Fill'd with unbelief and sin — Can I deem myself a child?

5 If I pray, or hear, or read,

Sin is mix'd with all I do ; You who love the Lord indeed, Tell me — is it thus with you 1

6 Yet I mourn my stubborn will,

Find my sin a gief arid thrall ; Should I brieve lor what I feel, If I did not love at all !

7 Lord decide the doubtful case :

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

8 Let me love thee more and

more, If I love at all, I pray ; If I have not loved before, Help me to begin to-day.

11. IIASTEX. SINNER.

1 Hastkn, sinner, to be wise; Stay not for the morrow's sun

Wisdom, if you still despise, Harder is it to be won.

2 Hasten, mercy to implore;

Stay not for the morrow's

sun ; Lest thy season should be o'er, Ere tii is evening's stage be

run.

3 Hasten, sinnnor, to return ;

Stay not for the morrow's

sun ; Lest thy lamp should cease to

burn, Ere salvation's work is done

4 Hapten sinner, to be blest:

Stay not for the morrow's sun ; Lest uerdition thee arrest, Ere the morrow is begun.

12. SEEK MY SOUL.

1 Seek, my soul, the narrow

gate, Enter, ere it be too late; Many ask to enter there, When too late to offer prayer.

2 God from mercy's seat shall rise, And for ever bai the skies: Then, though sinners cry with- out,

He will say, "I know you not."

3 Mournfully will they exclaim — Lord ! we have profess'd thy

name ; We have ate with thee, and

heard Heavenly teaching in thy word

4 Vain, alas! will be their plea, Workers of iniquity ;

Sad their everlasting lot — Christ will say u I know you not."

17 13. Longing for heaven

O WHEN shall I see Jesus,

And reign with him above; And from that flowing fountain,

Drink everlasting love? When shall I be delivered

From this vain world of sin, And with my blessed Jesu>,

Drink endless pleasures Li?

But now I am a soMier,

My Captain's gone before, He's given me my orders,

And bid me not give o'er ; And since he has proved faithful,

A righteous crown he'll give, And all his valiant soldiers

Eternal life shall have.

Through grace, I am determined

To conquer, though I die ; And then away to Jesus,

On wings of love, I'll fly. Farewell to sin and sorrow,

1 bid you all adieu; Then O my friends prove faithful;

And on your way pursue.

Whene'er you meet with troubles

And trials on your way, O cast your care on Jesus,

And don't forget to pray. Gird on the heavenly armor

Of faith, and hope, and love ; Then, when the combat's ended.

He'll carry you above.

1 BRETHREX, while we sojourn here, Fight we must, but should not fear; Foes we have, but we've a Friend, One that loves us to the end : Forward, then, with courage go, Long we shall not dwell below ; Soon the joyful news will come,

** Child, your Father calls, Come home."

2 In the way. a thousand snares Lie to take us unawares; Satan, with malicious art. Watches each unguarded heart: But from Satan's malice free, Samts shall soon in glory be; Soon the joyful news will come,

M Child, your Father calls, Come home."

3 But of all the foes we meet. None so oft mislead our feet, None betray us iuto sin,

Like the foes that dwell within : Yet let nothing spoil your peace, Christ shall also conquer these ; Then the joyful news will come, "Child, your Father calls. Come home."

1 SINNERS, will you scorn the message,

iSent in mercy from above? Every sentence — O, how tender! Every line is full of love ;

Listen to it — Every line is full of love.

2 Hear the heralds of the Gospel,

News from Zion's king proclaim, To each rebel sinner — *■ Pardon, 44 Free forgiveness in his name?

How important ! Free forgiveness in his name !

3 Tempted souls, they bring you succor;

Fearful hearts, they quell your fears; And with news of consolation, Chase away the falling tears :

Tender heralds — Chase away the falling tears.

4 Who hath our report believed ?

Who received the joyful word ? Who embraced the news of pardon, Oifer'd to you by the Lord?

Can you slight it — Oifer'd to you by the Lord !

5 O, ye angels, hovering round us,

Waiting spirits, speed your way, Hasten to the court of heaven, Tidings bear without delay:

Rebel sinners Glad the message will obey.

4 When trouble, like a gloomy clor. J, Has gathered thick, and thuuder'd loud, He near my soul has always stood,

His loving-kindness, O, how good !

5 Often I feel my sinful heart, Prone from my Jesns to depart ; But though I have him oft forgot, His loving-kindness changes not.

6 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale, Soon all my mortal powers must fail; O! may my last expiring breath

His loving-kindness sing in death.

7 Then let me mount and soar away, To the bright world of endless day, And sing, with rapture and surprise, His loving- kindness in the skies.

25 17. Missionary Hymn.

1. FROM Greenland's icy mountains,

From India's coral strand ; Where Afric's sunny fountains

Roll down their golden sand ; From many an ancient river,

From many a palmy plain, They rail us to deliver

Their land from error's chain,

2. What though the spicy breezes

Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle, Though every prospect pleases,

And only man is vile ; In vain with lavish kindness

The gifts of God are strown; The heathen in his blindness

Bows down to wood and stone.

3. Shall we, whose souls are lighted

With wisdom from on high, Shall we to men benighted

The lamp of life deny ? Salvation! O Salvation!

The joyful sound proclaim, Till earth's remotest nation .

Has learn'd Messiah's name.

4. Waft, waft, ye winds, his story,

And you, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory,

It spreads from pole to pole Till o'er our ransom'd nature,

The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator,

In bliss returns to reign.

18. The love of Jesus.

1 There's a friend above all

others, Oh, how he loves ! Hi3 is love beyond a brother's,

Oh, how he loves ! Earthly friends may fail and

leave us, This day kind, the next bereave

us, But this friend will ne'er deceive us, Oh, how he loves !

2 Blessed Jesus ! would'st thou

know him, Oh, how he loves ! Give thyself e'en this day to him,

Oh, how he loves ! Is it sin that pains and grieves

thee, Unbelief and trials tease thee 7 Jesus can from all release thee, Oh, how he loves !

3 Love this friend who longs to

save thee, Oh, how he loves ! Dost thou love 1 He will not leave thee, Oh, how he loves ! Think no more then of to-mor- row, Take his easy yoke and follow, Jesus carries all thy sorrows, Oh, how he loves !

4 All thy sins shall be forgiven,

Oh, how he loves ! Backward all thy foes be driven,

Oh, how he loves ! Best of blessings he'll provide

thee, Nought but good shall e'er betide

thee, Safe to glory he will guide thee j

Oh, how he loves I

5 Pause, ray soui ! adore and wonder,

Oh, how he loves! Nought can cleave this love asunder,

Oh, how he loves ! Neither trial, nor temptation, Doubt, nor fear, nor tribulation, Can bereave us of salvation ;

Oh, how he loves !

6 Let us still this love be view- ing, Oh, how he loves! And though /faint keep on pur suing, Oh, how he loves ! He will strengthen each endeavor, And when pass'd o'er Jordan'!

river, This shall be our song for ever, Oh, how he loves !

Note. — This is a favorite piece among the Welch, and much used in their revivals. It was sent in MS. from Bristol to a gentleman in New- York, who kindly gave it for the Lyre.

29 19. Awaked by SinaVs.

1. AWAKED by Sinai's awful sound. My soul in bouds of guilt I found,

And knew not where to go ; Eternal truth did loud proclaim, " The sinner must be born again,

Or sink to endless wo."

2. When to the law I trembling fled, It pour'd its curses on my head,

I no relief could find ; This fearful truth increased my pain, " The sinner must be born again,"

And whelm 'd my tortured mind.

3. Again did Sinai's thunders roll, And guilt lay heavy on my soul,

A vast, oppressive load : Alas, I read, and saw it plain, "The sinner must be born again,

Or drink the wrath of God,"

4. The saints 1 heard with rapture tell, How Jesus conquer'd Death and Hell,

And broke the fowler's snare ; Yet, when I found this truth remain, "The sinner must be born again,"

I sunk in deep despair.

5. But while I thus in anguish lay, The gracious Savior pass'd this way,

And felt his pity move ; The sinner, by his justice slain, Now by his grace is born again,

And sings redeeming love.

20. Though troubles assail.

1. THOUGH troubles assail, and dangers affright, Though friends should all fail, and foes all unite, Vet one thing secures us, whatever betide — The scripture assures us, the Lord will provide.

2. The birds without barn or store-house are fed, From them let us learn to trust in our Head ; His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied, So long as 'tis written the Lord will provide.

3. We may, like the ships, by tempests be tost On perilous deeps, but need not be lost ; Though Satan enrages the wind and the tide, The promise engages, the Lord will provide.

4. Plis call we obey, like Abraham of old ;

Not knowing our way, but faith makes us bold : For though we are strangers, we have a good guide And trust, in all dangers, the Lord will provide.

5. When Satan appears to stop up the path, And fills us with fears, we'll triumph by faith, He cannot take from us. (though oft he has tried,) The heart-cheering promise, the Lord will provide.

6. No strength of our own, or goodness we claim ; Yet since we have known the Savior's great name, In this our strong tower for safety we hide,

The Lord is our power, the Lord will provide,

7. When life sinks apace, and death is in view, This word of his grace shall comfort us through : No fearing or doubting, with Christ on our side, We hope to die shouting, "tile Lord will peo-

vide."

21. JOY IN HOPE.

1 Children of the heavenly Kinji, As ye journey, sweetly sil

Si riir your Savior's worthy praise, Glorious in his works and ways;

2 We are travelling home to God, In the way the fathers trod ; They are happy now, and we Soon their happiness shall see.

3 Shout, ye little flock, and blest, You near Jesus* throne shall rest; There your seats are now pre- pared,

[ There your kingdom and reward.

4 Fear not, brethren, joyful stand On the borders of your land : Jesus Christ, your Father's son, Bids you, undisuiay'd, go on.

5 Lord ! submissive make us go, Gladly leaving all below ;

Only thou our leader be, i And we still will follow thee.

REDEEMING LOVE.

1 Now begin the heavenly theme, Sing aloud in Jesus' name ; Ye, who Jesus' kindness prove, i Triumph in redeeming love.

'2 Ye, who see the Father's grace, Beaming in the Savior's face, As to Canaan on ye move, , Praise and bless redeeming love.

3 Mourning souls, dry up your

tears" Banis'i all your guilty fears ; See your »uilt and ciirse remove, Cancell'd by redeeming love.

4 Ye. alas ! who long have been Willing slaves of death and sin ! Now from bliss no longer rove, Stop, and taste redeeming love.

5 Welcome, all by sin oppress'd- Welcome to his sacred rest ; Nothing brought him from above, Nothing — but redeeming love.

6 Hither, then, your music bring, Strike aloud each joyful string ; Mortals, join the hosts above — Join to praise redeeming love.

FULL REDEMPTION.

1 When, my Savior, shall I be, Perfectly resign'd to thee ? Poor and vile in my own eyes, Only in thy wisdom wise 1

2 Only thee content to know, Ignorant of all below 1

Only guided by thy light, Only mighty in thy might.

3 Fully in my life express All the heights of holiness ; Sweely let my spirit prove, All the depths of humble love.

PERFECT LOVE.

1 Jesus comes with all his grace, Comes to save a fallen race ; Object of our glorious hope, Jesus conies to lift us up I

2 He hath our salvation wrought ; lie our captive souls hath bought: He hath reconciled to God :

He hath wash'd us in his blood.

3 We are now his lawful right; Walk as children of the light ; We shall soon obtain the grace, Pure in heart to see his face.

4 We shall gain our calling's

prize ; After God we all shall rise, Fill'd with joy, and love, and

peace, Perfected in holiness.

22. FREE GRACE.

1. Tiib voice of free grace Cries, escape to the mountain, For Adam's lost race, Christ has opened a fountain, For sin and transgression And every pollution,

The hJood it flows freely In streams of salvation.

Hallelujah to the L-amb, Who purchased our pardon, We'll praise him again, Whenwcpass over Jordan.

2. This fountain so clear,

In which all may find pardon, From Jesus' side flows In plenteous redemption: Though your sins they were

raised

As high as a mountain,

The blood it flows freely

From Jesus the fountain.

Hallelujah, S,-c.

3. O Jesus ! ride on,

Thy kingdom is glorious, Over sin. death and hell Thou wilt make us victorious, Thy name shall be praised In the great congregation, And saints shall delight Ascribing salvation. Hallelujah, <$c

4. When on Zion we stand, Having gain'd the blest shore, With our harps in our hands We will praise him evermore, We will range the blest fields On the banks of the river, And sing hallelujahs

For ev^r end ever. Hallelujah, be.

23. Wake, Isles of the South.

Composed by W. B.Tappan,and sung on the wharf, in New Ha- ven, at the embarkation of the missionaries for the Sandwich Islands, in 1822.

1. Wake, Isles of the South ! Your redemption is near, No longer repose

In the borders of gloom ; The strength of his chosen, In love will appear, And light shali arise On the verge of the tomb.

2. The billows that girt ye, The wild waves that roar, The zephyrs that play Where the ocean storms cease, Shall bear the rich freight

To your desolate shore, Shall waft the glad tidings Of pardon and peace.

3. On the islands that sit In the regions of night, The lands of despair, To oblivion a prey, The morning will open With healing and light;

The young Star of Bethlehem Will ripen to-day.

4. The altar and idol, In dust overthrown, The incense forbade

That was hallowed with blood , The Priest of Melchiaedec, There shall atone, And the shrines of Atooi Be sacred to Go*. 5. The heathen will hasten To welcome the time, The day-spring, the prophet In vision once saw, When the beams of Messiah Will 'lumine each clime, And the isles of the ocean Shall wait for his law.

1 O tuhn ye, O turn ye, for why will you die, When God iu great mercy is coming so nigh ? Now Jesus invites you, the Spirit says, Come, And angels are wailing to welcome you home.

2 ITow vain the delusion, that while you delay, Your hearts may grow better by staying away; Come wretched, come starving, come just as yoa be, Wlkile streams of salvation are flowing so free.

3 And now Christ is ready your souls to receive, O how can you question, if you will believe? If sin is your burden, why will you not come? 'Tis you he bids welcome ; he bids you come home*

4 In riches, in pleasures, what can you obtain, To soothe your affliction, or banish your pain ? To bear up your spirit when sumrnon'd to die, Or wait you' to mansions of glory on hi^h ?

5 Why will yon be starving and feeding on air? There's mercy in Jesus, enough and to spare; If still you are doubting, make trial and see, And prove that his mercy is boundless and free.

6 Come, give us your hand, and the Savior your heart* And trusting in Heaven, we never shall jmrt ;

O how can we leave you ? why will you not come? We'll journey together, and soon be at home.

27. Lord with glowing.

1. LORD, with glowing heart I'd praise thee,

For the bliss th\ lo\e bestows; For the pardoning grace that saves me,

And the peace that from it Hows: Help, O Lord, my weak endeavor,

This dull soul to rapture raise : Thou must light the tlame, or never

Can my love be warm'd to praise.

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

Wretched wanderer, far r*stra) ; 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-stain'd cross appear.

3. Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling

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

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

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

Let my life show forth thy praise.

28. Far from mortal.

1. FAR from mortal cares retreating,

Sordid hopes, and vain desires, Here, our willing footsteps meeting,

Every heart to heaven aspires. From the fount of glory beaming,

Light celestial cheers our eyes; Mercy from above proclaiming

Peace and pardon from the skies. 2. Who may share this great salvation ?

Every pure and humble mini ; Every kindred, tongue, wnd nation,

From the stains of guilt refined. Blessings all around bestowing,

God withholds his care from none, Grace and mercy ever flowing

From the fountain of his throne.

29. Recital Blessings.

1 The Lord into his garden comes, The spices yield their rich per- fumes ; The lilies grow and thrive ; Retreshin2 showers of grace di- vine, From Jesus flow to every vine, Aiid make the dead revive.

2 This makes the dry and barren

ground, In springs of water to abound,

And fruitful soil become; The desert blossoms like the rose, When .lesus conquers all his foes,

And makes his people one.

3 The glorious time is rolling on, The gracious work is m.W begun,

My soul a witness is ; Come, taste and see the pardon

free To all mankind, as well as ne ;

vVno come to Christ may live.

4 The worst of sinners here may

find A Savior pitiful and kind,

Who will them all relieve : None are too late if they repent ; Out of one sinner legions went,

Jesus did him receive.

5 Come, brethren, you that love

the Lord, Who taste the sweetness of his word, Tn Jesus' ways go on ; Our trouble and our trials here, Will only make us richer there, When we arrive al home.

6 We feel that heaven is now be-

gun, It issues from the shining throne,

From Jesus' throne on high ; It conies like floods, we can't con- tain, We drink, and drink, and drink again, And yet we still are dry.

7 But when we come to reign

above, And all surround the throne of love, We'll drink a full supply; Jesus will lead his armies through, To living fountains where they flow, That never will run dry.

8 There we shall reign, and shout

and sing, And make the upper regions ring, When all the saints get home ; Come on, come on, my brethren

dear, Soon we shall meet together there For Jesus bids us come.

1. LETthy kingdom, blessed Sa- vior, Come, and bid our jarring cease ; Come, oh come ! and reign for ever, God of love and Prince of peace ; Visit now poor bteeding Zion, Hear thy people mourn and weep ; Day and night thy lambs are crying, Come, good Shepherd, feed thy sheep.

2. Some for Paul, some for Apol- los, Some for Cephas — none agree ; Jesus, let us hear thee call us ; Help us, Lord, to follow thee ; Then we'll rush through what encumbers. Over every hindrance leap; Not upheld by force or num- bers, Come, good Shepherd, feed thy sheep.

4. Come, good Lord, with cou- rage arm us, Persecution rages here — Nothing, Lord, we know can harm us, While our Shepherd is so near. Glory, glory, be to Jesus, At his nauie our hearts do leap ; He both comforts us and frees us, The good Shepherd feeds his sheep.

5. Hear the Prince of our salva- lion Saying, " Fear not, little flock ; I, myself, am your Foundation, You are built upon this Rock : Shun the paths of vice and folly, Scale the mount, although it's steep ; Look to me, and be ye holy ; 1 delight to feed my sheep."

3. Lord, in us there is no merit, We'vt been sinners from our youth ; Guide us, Lord, by thy good Spirit, Which shall teach us all the truth. On thy gospel word we'll ven- ture, Till in death's cold arms we Bleep, Love our Lord, and Christ our Savior, Oh! good Shepherd, feed thy sheep. 5

6. Christ alone, whose merit saves us, TLught by him, we'll own his name ; Sweetest of all names is Je- sus ! How it doth our souls in- flame ! Glory, glory, glory, g?ory,

Give him glory, he will keep, He will clear our way before us, The good Shepnerd feeds his sheep.

31. PROBATION.

1 Lo ! on a narrow neck of land, 'Twi.u two unbounded seas 1 viand, Yet ho." insensible ; A point of time, a moment's

space, Removes me to that heavenly place, Or shuts meup in hell.

2. O God, my inmost soul con- vert, And deeply on my thoughtful heart Eternal things impress: Give me to feel their solemn

weight, And make me, ere it he too late, Awake to righteousness.

?. Before me place in dread ar- ray, The pomp of that tremendous day, When thou with clouds shalt come, To judge the nations at thy

bar ; And tell me, Lord, shall I be there To meet a joyful doom 7

4. Be this my one great business here With serious industry and fear

To make my calling sure : Thine utmost counsel to fulfil, And surfer all thv righteous will, And to the end endure.

32. THE PILGRIM'S LOT.

1. How happy is the pilgrim's lot; How fret; from every anxious thought, From worldly hope and fear !

Confined to neither court nor

cell, His soul disdains on earth to

dwell. He only sojourns here.

2. This happiness in part ismine, Already saved from low design,

From every creature love ! Blest with the scorn of finite

good, M\ soul is lighten'd of its load,

And seeks the things above.

3. The things eternal I pursue, A happiness beyond the view

Of those, that basely pant For things by nature felt and

seen : Their honors, wealth, and plea- sures mean, I neither have nor want.

4. Nothing on earth I call my

own ; A stranger to the world, un- known, I all their goods despise ; I trample on their whole de- light, And seek a city out of sight, A city in tne skies.

5. There is my house and portion

fair, My treasure and my heart are there, And my abiding home; For me my elder brethren stay, And angels beckon me away,. And Jesus bids me come !

6. 1 come, thy servant, Lord, re

plies,

I come to meet thee in the

skies,

And claim my heavenly rest!

Now let the pilgrim's journey

end, Now, O my Savior, Brother* Friend, Receive me to thy breast I

1. IN songs of sublime adoration and praise ;

Ye pilgrims, for Zion who press, Break forth and extol the great Ancient of days, His rich and distinguishing grace.

2. His love from eternity fixed upon you, —

Broke forth and discover' d its flame, When each with the cords of his kindness he drew, And brought you to love his great name.

C O, had not he pitied the state you were in, Your bosoms his love had ne'er felt: You all would have lived, would have died too in sin, And sunk with the load of your guilt.

4. What was there in you, that couid merit esteem,

Or give the Creator delight? 'Twas "Even so, Father," you ever must sing, "Because it seemed good in thy sight."

5. Twas all of thy grace we were brought to obey ;

While others were suliered to go The road, which by nature, we chose as our way, That leads to the regions of woe.

6. Then give all the glory to his holy name,

To him all the glory belongs ; Be yours the high joy stili to sound forth his fame, A_id crown him in each of your songs. 5*

1. VAIN delusive world adieu, 'With all of creature good, Only Jesus I'll pursue,

Who bought me with his blood ; All thy pleasure I'll forego, I'll trample on thy wealth and pride ; Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus crucified !

2. Other knowledge I disdain, 'Tis all but vanity ;

Christ, the Lamb of God, was slain,

He lasted death for me ! Me to save from endless wo, The sin atoning victim died ; Only Jesus will I know,

And Jesus crucified !

3. Him to know is life and peace, And pleasure without end, This is all my happiness,

On Jesus to depend; Daily in his grace to grow, And ever in his love abide ; Only Jesus will I know,

And Jesus crucified !

4. O that T could all invite, This saving truth to prove;

Show the length, and breadth, and heigln.

And depth of Jesus' love,- Fain I would to sinners show, This blood alone by faith applied; Only Jesus will I know,

And Je*us crucified !

35. The gospel trumpet

1. HARK, how the gospel trumpet sounds, Through all the world the echo bounds, And Jesus, with redeeming blood

Js bringing sinners home to God, And guides them safely by his word To endless day.

2. Hail, all victorious conquering Lord, By all the heavenly hosts adored ; Who undertook for fallen man,

And brought salvation through thy name, That we with thee might live and reign In endless day.

•3. Fight on ye conquering saints, fight on, And when the conquest you have won, Then palms of victory you shall bear, And ill his kingdom have a share, And crowns of glory you shall wear, In endless day.

4. Thy blood, dear Jesus, once was spilt, To save our souls from sin and guilt ; An ! sinners now may come to God, And find salvation through his word, And sail by faith upon that flood

To endless day.

5. There we shall in sweet chorus join, And saints and angels all combine, To sing of his redeeming love,

When rolling years shall cease to move ; And that shall be the theme above, In endless day.

36. WALKING WITH GOD.

1 O for a closer walk with God, A calm aiui heavt n!y frame ;

A liclit to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb !

2 Where is the blessedness I knew When first I saw the Lord I

Where is the soul refreshing view Of Jesus, and his word ?

3 What peaceful hours I then en-

joy'd ! How sweet their memory still ! Put they have left an aching void The world can never till."

4 Return, O Holy Dove ! return, Sweet messenger of rest !

I hale the sins that made thee mourn And drove thee from my breast.

5 The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be,

Help me to tear it from thy throne, And worship only thee.

6 So shall mv walk be close with

God, Calm and serene my frame : So purer light shall mark ihe road That leads me to the Lamb.

37. LORD'S DAY MORNING.

1. This is the day, when Christ arose So early from the dead; Why should I keep my eyelids closed, And waste my hours in bed 1

2 This is the day, when Jesus broke The powers of earth and hell;

And shall I still wear Sawn v yoke, And love my sins so well ?

3. To day with pleasure chris-

tians me»*t. To pray, and rend thy word; And I would go with cheenul feet. To learn thy will, O Lord.

4. I'll quit the world, to read and

pray, And so prepare for heaven ; O ! may 1 love this nlessed day The best of all the seven.

38. THE GOOD SHEPHERD

1. Sle Israel's gentle Shepherd

stand With all engaging charms ; Hark, how he calls the tender

Lambs, And folds them in his arms

2. •• Permit them to approach,"

he cries, 11 Nor scorn their humble

name ; " For 'twas to bless such souls

as these, " The Lord of angels came.''

3. We bring them, Lord, in thank-

ful hands, And yield them up to thee ; Joyful that we ourselves are thine, Thine let our offspring be.

4. If orphans they are left behind,

Thy guardian care we trust ; That care shall heal our bleed- ing heart, If weeping o'er their dust

1 THE chariot! the chariot! its wheels roll in fire, As the Lord cometh down in the pomp of his ire ; Lo, self-moving it drives on its pathway of cloud, And the heavens with the burden of Godhead are

bow'd.

2 The glory ! the °;lory ! around him are pour'd, Mighty hosts of the angels that wait on the Lord ; And the glorified saints, and the martyrs are there, And there all who the palm-wreaths of victory

wear !

3 The trumpet ! the trumpet ! the dead have all

heard : Lo, the depths of the stone-cover'd charnel are

stirr'd ! From the sea. from the earth, from the south, from

the north, All the vast generations of man are come forth!

4 The judgment! the judgment! the thrones are

all set, Where the Lamb and the white-vested elders are

met ! There all flesh is at once in the sight of the Lord, And the doom of eternity hangs on his word.

5 O mercy ! O mercy ! look down from above,

Great Creator, on us. thy sad children, with love! When beneath to their darkness the wicked are

driven. May our justified souls find a welcome in heaven !

41 Sovereign Grace.

1 Sovcreio* grace has power

alone To subdue a heart of ?tone : And the moment trace is fVIt, Then the hardest heart will melt.

2 When the Lord was crucified,

Two transgressors wi:Ji him died ; One, with vile blaspheming

tongue, ScofTd at Jesus as he hung.

3 Thus he spent his wicked

breath, In the very jaws of death ; Pmsh'd, as too many do. With the Savior in his view.

4 But the othe/, touch'd with

grace, Saw the danger of his case, Faith received to own the Lord. Whom the scribes and priests

abhor'd.

5 " Lord," he pray'd, M remember

me. When in glory thou shalt be:" "Soon with me," the Lord re- plies, " Thou shalt rest in paradise."

6 This was wondrous grace in-

deed, Grace besiow'd in time of need ! Sinners, trust in Jesus' name, You slsall and him still the same.

Sinner ! rouse thee.

1 St5KKR ! rouse thee from thy

sleep, Wake, ai;d o'er thy folly weep ; RaUe thy spirit dark and dead, J asm wain ait light to shed.

2 Wake from sleep, arise from

death, Foe the bright n.nd living path : Watchful tread that path ; be

wise, Leave thy folly, seek the skies

3 Leave thy folly, cease from

crime, From this hour redeem thy time ; Life secure without delay, Evil is the mortal dav.

4 Be not blind and foolish still, Call'd of Jesu*, learn his will : Jesus calls from death and nighti Jesus waits to shed his Light.

Sing, my soul.

1 Sing, my soul, his wondrous

love, Who, from yon bright throne

above. Ever watchful o'er our race, Still to man extends his grata

2 Heaven and earth by him were

made, All is by his sceptre rway'd ; What are we that he should

show So much love to us below 1

3 God, the merciful and good. Bought us with the Sav*or*l

blood ; And, to make our safety sure, Guides us by his Spirit pure*

Safe in'o the haven guide, Oh, receive my soul at last !

2. Other refuge have I none,

Lo ! I, helpless, nang on thee :

Leave, Oh leave me not alone,

Lest I b.isely shrink and flee :

Thou art all my trust and aid,

All mv help from thee I

bring ;

Cover my defenceless head

With the shadow of thy wing.

3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want ; Boundless love in thee I find ; Raise the feeble, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name ; I am all unrighteousness, Vile and full of sin I am ; Thou art lull of truth and grace.

4. Plenteous grace with thee Is found, Grace to pardon all my sin ; Let the healing streams abound, Make and keep me pure with- in. Thou of life the fountain art, Freely lot me take of thee : Reign, O Lord, within my hixl, Reign to all eternity.

«4 O THAT MY LOAD.

1. O that my load of sin were

O that I could at last submit,

At Jesus' feel to lay ine down !

To lay my .soul at Jesus' feet !

2. Rest for my soul I long to find :

Savior of all, if mine tfiou

art, Give me thy meek and lowly

mind, And stamp thine image on

my heart.

o. Break off the yoke of inbred sin, And fuily set my spirit free ; I cannot rest till pure within, Till i am wholly lost in thee.

4. Fain would I learn of thee, my God, Thy ligut and easy burden prove, The cross all stain'd with hal- low'd blood, The labor of thy dying love.

5 T would : but thou must give the power ; My heart from every sin re- lease ; Bring near, bring near the joy- ful hour, And rill me with thy perfect peace.

6. Come, Lord, the drooping sin- ner cheer, Nor let thy chariot wheels delay ; Appear in my poor heart, ap- pear ; My God, my Savior, come away !

45. MY HOPE.

1. My hope, my all, my Savior

tllOII,

To thee, my soul I humbly bow; I feel tin- bli*s thy wounds im- part, I find thee. Savior, in my heart.

2. Be thou my strength, be thou

my way, Protect me through my life's

short day : In all my acts by wisdom

guide, And keep me, Savior, near thy

side.

3. Correct, reprove, and comfort

me ! As! have need, my Savior be : And if I would from thee de- part, Then clasp me, Savior, to thy heart.

4. In fierce temptation's darkest

hour, Save me from sin and Satan's

power ; Tear every idol from thy throne, And reign, my Savior, reign

alone.

5. My suffering time shall soon be

o'er, Then shali I sigh and weep no

more ; My ransom'd s^ul shall soar

away, To sing thy praise in endle*

day.

47. Attend ye saints.

I Attend, ye saints, and hear me tell The ponders of Immanuel, Who saved me from a burning

ben. And brought my soul with him to dwell, And gave me heavenly union.

42 When Jesus saw me from on high, Beheld my soul in ruin lie, He look'd on me with pitying

eye, And said to me as he pass'd by, 11 With God you have no union."

3 Then I began to weep and cry, And look'd this way and that,

to fly, It grieved me so that I must

die ; I strove salvation for to buy : But still 1 had no union.'

4 But when T hated all my sin, My dear Redeemer took me in, And with his blood he wash'd

me clean ; And oh ! what seasons I have seen Since first I felt this union.

5 I prais'd the Lord both night

and day, And went from house to house

to pray, And if I met one on the way, I found I'd something still to

say Abom this heavenly union.

6 I now with saints can join to

sing, And mount on faith'i trium- phant wing,

And make the heavenly arches

ring With loud hosannas to our

Kin::, Who brought our souls to

union.

7 Oh come backsliders, come

away, And learn to do as well as say, And learn to watch as well as

pray, And bear your cross from day

to day ; And then you'll feel this

union.

8 We soon shall leave all things

below, And quit these climes of pain

and wo, And then we'll all to glory go, And then well see, and hear,

and know, And feel a perfect union.

9 Come, heaven and earth, uni'e

your lays, And give to Jesus endless

praise ; And oh my soul, look on and

gaze ! He bleeds, he dies, your debt he

pays. To give you heavenly union.

10 Oh could I, like an angel, sound Salvation through the earth

around,

The devils kingdom to con- found ;

I'd triumph on Immanueri ground, And spread this floriout union.

When will my sorrows have an end? Thy joys when shall 1 see ?

2 Thy walls are all of precious stone,

Most glorious to behold ; Thy gates are richly set with pearl, Thy streets are paved with gold.

3 Thy gardens and thy pleasant walks,

My study long have been ; Such dazzling views by human sight, Have never yet been seen.

4 If heaven be thus glorious, Lord,

Why should I stay from thence ? What folly's this, that I should dread To die and %o from hence !

5 Reach down, O Lord, thine arm of grace;

And cause me to ascend, Where congregations ne'er break up, And sabbaths never end.

6 Jesus, my Lord, to glory's gone,

Him will I go and see ; And all my brethren here below, Will soon come after me.

7 My friends, I bid you all adieu,

1 leave you in God's care ; And if I never more see you,

Go on, I'll meet you there.

8 When we've been there ten thousand ye art,

Bright shining as the sun ; We've no less days to sing Viod's praise. Than when we first begun.

2 Yes, thou art precious to my soul,

my joy, my nope, my trust; Jewels, to thee, are gaudy toys, And gold is sordid dust.

3 All my capacious powers can wish,

In thee most richly meet : Nor to mine eyes is light so dear, Nor friendship half so sweet.

4 Thy grace still dwells upon my heart,

And sheds its fragrance there ; The noblest balm of all its wounds, The cordial of its care.

5 I'll speak the honors of thy name

With my last laboring breath ; Then speechless clasp thee in mine arms, The antidote of death.

50. Daily Mercies.

1 O God, thy gifts of tender love

Are every evening new ; And morning mercies from above Distil like early dew.

2 Thou spread'st the curtain of the night

To guard our sleeping hours ; Thy sovereign word restores the light, And wakes our drowsy powers.

3 We yield ourselves to thy command,

To thee devote our days; For constant blessings from thy hand Demand our constant praise.

And loud the billows roar ; Full swiftly we are going, To our dear native shore.

2 The billows breaking o'er us,

The storms that round us swell, Are aiding to restore us, To all we loved so well.

3 So sorrow often presses,

Life's mariner along ; Afflictions and distresses, Are gales and billows strong.

4 The sharper and severer

The storms of life we meet, The sooner and the nearer Is Heaven's eternal seat.

5 Come then, afflictions dreary,

Sharp sickness pierce my breast ; You only bear the weary More quickly home to rest.

83 52. The Gospel Pool.

2 Here streams of virtue How,

To heal a sin-sick soul; To wash the filthy white as snow, And make the wounded whole.

3 The dumb break forth in praise,

The blind their sight receive; The cripple run in wisdom's ways, The dead revive and live.

4 Not bound to case or time,

These waters always move ;

Sinners, in every age and clime,

Tneir vital influence prove.

5 Yet numbers near them lie,

Who meet with no relief; With life in view they pine and die, In hopeless unbelief.

6 'Tis strange they will not bathe,

And yet frequent the pool ; But none can have a saving faith, While love of sin bears rule.

7 Their conscience sin has seal'd,

And stupified their thought ; For were they willing to be heal'd, The cure would soon be wrought.

8 Dear Savior, interpose,

Their stubborn will constrain ; Or else to them the waters flow, And grace is preach'd in vain.

Yet will I remember thee.

5 " Thou shalt see my glory soon, When the work of faith is done, — Partner of my throne shalt be : Say, poor sinner, lovest thou me?'

O for grace to love thee more .'

1 O'l i. on in whose preseace my sou! takes delight,

On whom in affliction I call;

My comfort by day, and my song in the night, My hope, my salvation, my all.

2 Where dost thou at noon-tide resort with thy sheep,

To feed on the pastures of love? Say, why in the valley of death should I weep, Or alone in the wilderness rove?

3 O why should I wander an alien from thee;

Or cry in the desert for bread ? Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see, And smile at the tears I have shed.

4 Ye daughters of Zion. declare, have you seen,

The Star that on Israel shone : Say, if in your tent? my Beloved has been, And where with his "flock he has gone 1

5 This is my Beloved, his form is divine,

His vestments shed odors around , The locks on his head are as grapes on the vine, When autumn with plenty is crown'd.

6 His voice as the sound of the dulcimer sweet,

Is heard through the shadow of deatn, The cedars of Lebanon bow at his feet, The air is perfumed with his breath.

7 His lips as a fountain of righteousness flow,

To water the gardens of grace; From which their salvation the Gentiles shall know And bask in the smiles of his face.

8 He looks, and ten thousands of angels rejoice,

And myriads wait for his word ; lie speaks, and eternity fill'd with his voice, Re-echoes the praise of the Lord.

now springs, And to her .luthor thus she sings,

" Tliy will be done."

2 As bearing up to gain the port, A blood stain'd cross and heaven in view, A Savior's wounds my harbor — fort— The beacon — to my vessel true ; Again my faith her soundings

tries, And to my soul's sure Pilot cries,

" A blessed Hope."

Savior dear, And Jong with joy to see hfs face. Once more my faith now tries

her ground, And thus re-echoes back the sound,

" Christ is my rock."

3 The nearer still she draws to land, More eager all her powers ex- pand : With steady helm, and free

GO. How happy are they.

1 How happy are they, Who the Savior obey,

And have laid up their "treasure above ! Tongue cannot express The sweet comfort and peace

Of a soul in its earliest love !

2 That comfort was mine, When the favor el i vine

I first found in the blood of the L^mb ; When my heart it believed, What a joy I received. *What a heaven in Jesus's name !

3 'Twas a heaven below My Redeemer to know.

The* ansels could do nothing

Than fall down at his feet, And the story repeat, And the Lover of sinners adore.

4 Jesus all the day long Was my joy and my song:

O that all his salvation might see ! He hath loved me, T cried, He hath suffered and died,

To redeem such a rebel as me.

5 On the wings of his love, I was carried above

All sin, and temptation. and pain; And I could not believe That J ever should grieve,

That I ever should suffer again.

G I rode on the sky, Freely justified I, Nor did envy Elijah his scat :

il mounted higher In a chariot of fire, And the moon it was under my feet.

7 O the rapturous height Of that holy delight

Which J felt in the life-giving blood ! Of my Savior possest, I was perfectly blest, As if filled with the fulness of God.

8 Ah ! where am I now ! When was it. or how,

That I fell from my heaven of grace? I am brought into thrall ; I am stript of my all ; I am banished from Jesus's face !

9 Hardly yet do I knew, How I let my Lord go,

So insensibly starting aside ; When the tempter came in, With his own subtle sin,

And infected my spirit with pride.

10 But I felt it too soon, That my Savior was gone, Swiftly vanishing out of my sight ; My triumph and boast On a sudden were lost, And my day it wa3 turned into night.

1 I'm not ashamed to own my Lord,

Or to defend his cause,

Maintain the honor of his word,

The glory of his cross. Jesus, my God ! I know his name,

His name is all my trust; Nor will he put my soul to shame,

Nor let my hope be lost.

2 Firm as his throne his promise stands,

And he can well secure What I've committed to his hands,

Till the decisive hour. Then will he own my worthless name

Before his Father's face, And in the new Jerusalem

Appoint my soul a place.

62. Am I a soldier.

1 Am I a soldier of the cross,

A follower of the Lamb ? And shall I fear to own his cause,

Or blush to speak his name ? Are there no foes for me to face 1

Must I not stem the flood ? Is this dark world a friend to grace,

To help me on to God ?

2 Sure I must fight if I would reign;

Increase my courage, Lord! Fll bear the toil, endure the pain,

Supported by thy word. Thy saints in all this glorious war Shall conquer enough they die ; They see the triumph from afar,

And seize it with their eye.

S I have |ong withstood his grace, Long provoked him to his Would not hearken to his calls, Grieved him by a thousand Talis.

3 Kindled his reientings are. Me he now delights to spare; Cries, '; How shall I give thee

up !"

Lets the lifted thunder drop.

4 There for me the Savior stands, Shows his wounds, and spreads

his hands ! God is love ! I know, I feel ; Jesus weeps and loves me still.

5 Jesus, answer from above, Is not all thy nature love 1 Wilt thou not the wrong forget ? Suffer me to kiss thy feet !

C Xow incline me to repent! Let me now my fall lament ! Xow my soul's revolt deplore ! Weep, believe, and sin no more.

61. LORD, HOW LARGE.

1 Lord, how large thy bounties

are, Tender, gracious, sinner's

friend ! What a feast dost thou prepare, And what invitations send!

2 Now fulfil thy great design, Who didst first the message

bring : Every heart to thee incline ; — Now compel them to come in.

3 Rushing on the downward road, Sinners no compulsion need,

Heaven to forsake, and God , they run with rapid speed!

4 Draw them back by love divine, With thy grace their spirits win ;

!• art to thee incline, Now compel them to come in.

.> Thus their willing souls compel, Thus their happy minds con- strain, From the wavs of death and

hell, Home to God, and grace again.

6 Stretch that conquering arm of thine, Once stretched out to bleed for

sin : Every heart to thee incline, Xow compel them to come in.

65. COME YE WEARY.

1 Come, ye weary souJs opprest, Find in Christ the promised rest; On him all your burdens roll, He can wound, and he make whole.

3 Ye that dread the wrath of God, Come and wash in Jesus blood : To the son of David cry, In his word he's passing by.

3 Xaked, guilty, poor, and blind, All you want in Jesus find : This the day of mercy is, Now accept" the proffer'd bliss.

4 Debtors, who have nought to

pay, Come to Jesus, haste away; All your sins on him were laid, All "your debts the Surety paid

5 " It is finish'd," lo ! he cries, Ere on yonder cross he dies ; O believe the record true, Jesus died for such as you.

1 TnK day of death 's a doleful

day; To those who know not Cod ; Fly. sinner, Hy ! nn more delay,

Till wash'd in Jesus' blood.

2 How wretched is the sinner's

state, Who sleeps to wake no more ! He knecks, alas: he knocks too late, When death hath shut the door.

3 But now, O Lord, 'tis not too late To hear thy people pray ;

For tho' thy justice locks the gate, Thy viercij keeps the key.

69. Thro" sorrow's night.

1 Thro' sorrow's night and dan-

cer's path, Amid the deepening sloom, Wc, soldiers of an injured King, Are marching to the tomb.

2 There, when the turmoil is no

more, And all our powers decav, Our cold remains, in solitude, Shall sleep the years away.

3 Oui labors done, securely laid In this our last retreat,

Unheeded, o'er our silent dust, The storms of life shall beat.

4 These ashes poor, this Iittledust, Oui Father's care shah keep,

Till the last angel rise, and break The long and dreary sleep.

5 Then love's soft dew o'er every •

Shall shed its mildest rays, And the long silent dust shall burst

With shouts of endless praise.

70. Hoping, yet trembling.

1 Mx soul would fain indulge a

hope To reach the heavenly shore ; And when I drop this dying flesh, Then I shall sin no mote*.

2 I hope to hear, and join the song, That saints and angels raise ;

And while eternal ages roll, To sing eternal praise.

3 But oh— this dreadful heart of

sin ! It may deceive me still ; And while 1 look for joys above. May plunge me down to helL

4 The scene must then forever

close, Probation at an end ; No gospel grace can reach mo

tiiere, No pardon there descend.

5 Come then, O blessed Jesui,

come, To me thy Spirit give ; Shine thro' a dark, benign, ted SOUl, And uid a sinner live.

71. Babel's Streams.

Written for the Lyre, by the Rev. D.R. Thomason, recently from England.

1 Oh no. we cannot sing the songs, Made for Jehovah's praise :

Our sorrowing harps refuse their strings. To Ziou's gladsome strains.

2 They bid us be in mirthful mood And dry these tears so sad :

But Judaif s hearths are desolate, And how can we be glad ?

3 Silent our harps o'er Babel'3

streams Are hung on willows wet ; And Zion we no more shall see ; But we can ne'er forget.

4 Jerusalem, thy banish'd ones, Prove anguish and regret ;

But heaven's own curse'shall rest on them, If thee they e'er forget.

72. Light in darkness.

1 O thou who driest the mourn-

er's tear, How dark this world' would be, If, pierced by sins and sorrows

here, We could not fly to thee !

2 The friends, who in our sun-

shine live, When winter comes, are flown ; And he who has but tears to give, Must weep those tears alone.

3 Oh ! who could bear life's

stormy doom, Did not thy wing of love Come brightly wafting thro' the gloom Our peace-branch from above 1

4 Then sorrow touch'd by thee,

grows bright, With more than rapture's ray ; As darkness shows us worlds of

light, We never saw by day.

And I must lanch thro" boundless deeps Where endless ages roll.

2 The grave is near the cradle seen, How swift the moments pass between!

And whisper as they fly— Unthinking man, remember this, Thou, midst thy sublunary bliss,

Must groan, and gasp, and die !

3 My soul, attend the solemn call, Thine earthly tent must quickly fall,

And thou must take thy flight, Beyond the vast ethereal blue, To love and sing as angels do,

Or sink in endless night.

4 Long ere the sun lias run its round, I may be buried under ground,

And there in silence rot: Alas! one hour may close the scene, And ere twelve months shall intervene

My name be quite forgot.

5 But shall my soul be then extinct, And cease to be, or cease to think?

It cannot, cannot be : Thou ! my immortal, cannot die, What wilt thou do, or whither fly,"

When death shall set thee free ?

6 Will mercy then, its arms extend ? Will Jesus be thy guardian friend ?

And heaven thy dwelling-place? Or shall insulting fiends appear, To drag thee down to black despair,

Beyond the reach of grace 1

2 The worst of all diseases

Is light, compared with sin; On even' part it siezes

But rages most within : 'Tis palsy, plague, and fever,

And m;ulness all combined; And none but a believer

The least relief can find.

3 From men great skill professing,

I sought a cure to gain ; But this proved more distressing,

And added to my pain. Some said that nothing ail'd me,

Some gave me up for lost; Thus every refuse fa i I'd me,

And all my hopes were cross'd.

4 At length this great Physician

(How matchless is his grace) Accepted my petition, And undertook my case :

First gave me sight to view him, For sin mine eyes had seal'd ;

Then bade me look unto him; I look'd — and I was heaPd.

5 A dying, risen Jesus, ■

Seen by an eye of faith, At onee from danger frees us,

And saves the soul from death : Come, then, to this Physician,

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

'Tis onlv u Look and live."

76. The Alarm.

1 Stop, poor sinner, stop and

think, Before you farther no — Will you sport upon the brink Of everlasting wo 1

CHORUS.

Be entreated now to stop !

I »Uss yuu learning take, Ere you are aware you'll drop

Into the burning lake !

2 Hell beneath is gaping wide ! And waits the dread command,

Soon to stop your sport and pride, And sink you with the damn'd.

3 Ghastly death will quickly come, And drag you to the bar ;

Then to hear your awful doom, Will rill you with despair.

4 All your sins will round you

crowd, Of bloody crimson die. Each for vengeance crying loud, And what can you reply ?

5 Say, have you an arm like God, That you his will oppose ?

Fear you not his iron rod,

With which lie breaks ids foes?

C Can you stand in thatsreat day.

When judgment is prociaim'd, When tiie earth shail melt away,

Like wax before the flame ?

7 Though your heart were made

of steel, Your forehead lined with brass, God at length will make you t'etl, He will not let you pass.

8 Sinners then in vain will call,

Who now despise his grace,

1 Rocks and mountains on us faK And hide us from his face.'

9 But as yet there is a hope, That you may mercy know;

Though his arm is lilted up, He still forbears the blow.

10 'Twas for sinners Jesus died, Sinners be calls to come ,

None who come shall be denied, He says, " There yet is room.'

77. Striving of the Spirit.

Written for the Lyre.

1 Sinner, hath a voice within Oft whisper'd to thy soul,

Bid thee leave the ways of sin, And yield to God's control 7

2 Hath it met thee in the path, Of earthly vanity,

Fointed to the coming wrath. And warn'd thee now to flee 1

3 Sinner, 'twas a heavenly voict

Spirit's gracious call, Bade thee make a better choice, A iid seek in Christ thine all.

4 Hear the call to life and light ; Regard the warning kind :

If that call thou always slight, Thou mercy ne'er shalt And.

5 Soon thy season will be o'er, The Spirit cease to strive ;

Thy slumbers he will break no more ; His love then do not grieve.

6 Sinner, should this very day Thy last of mercy be !

Shouid'st thou grieve him now away, Hope ne'er may beam on thee S. G

1 F Ki riFR, T Inn?. I faint to see The place ol thine abode :

I'd leave thine earthly courts, and

Up to thy seat, my God !

2 Here I behold thy distant fac^v, And 'tis a pleasing sight ;

But In abide in thine embrace, Is infinite de'igl.t.

3 There all the heavenly hosts are

seen, In shining ranks they move, And drink immoral vi_ror in, With wonder and with love.

4 Then at thy feet with awful fear TIT adoring armies fall ;

Willi joy they shrink to nothing there, Before ih' eternal All.

5 There I would vie with all the

host in duty and in bliss ; While te«a than nothing I could boast, And canity confess.

6 The more thy glories strike my

eyes, The humbler I shall lie : Thus wh.le I sink, my joys shall

rise Unmc.'isurably high.

79. TJie Scriptures.

1 Fattter of mcr-ies, in thy word Wha: endless glory shines!

For ever be thy na^ne adored For these celestial lines.

2 Ilerr, the Redeemer's welcome

Spreads heavenly pecce around, And life, and everlasting joyi

Attend the blissful sound.

3 Oh, may these heavenly pages be

u delight ; And still new beauties may I see, And still increasing light !

4 Divine instructer, gracious Lord, Be thou for ever near,

Teach me to love thy sacred word, And view my Savior there.

80. Brotherly Love.

1 Bt.tsT be the dear, uniting love,

That will not let us part ; Oar bodies may far off' remove— ill are one in heart.

! in one spirit to our Head, Where he appoints we'll go ;

I in Jesus' foorsteps fead, And show his praise below.

3 Partakers of the Savior's grace, The same in mind and heart,

Nor joy, nor grief, nor time, nor place, Nor life, nor death can part.

4 But let ns hasten to the day,

•_h shall our flesh restore ; When death shall all be dene away. And christians part no more !

Written for the Lyre, hy th-c au- thor of *r Advice to a Young Christian."'

1 Sinner, is thy heart a*

Is thy bosom void of fear 1 Art thou not by guili op| • Speaks not conscience in thine earl

2 Can this world afford thee bliss ? Can it chase away thy g

Flattering, false, and vain it is: — Tremble at the worldling's doom.

3 Long the gospel thou hast

spurn'd, Long delay'd to seek thy God ; Stifled conscience, nor hast turn'd Woo'd though, by a Savior's blood.

4 Think, O sinner, on t*w end ; See the judgment duy appear !

Thither must tliy spirit wend ; There thy righteous sentence hear.

5 Wretched, ruin'd, helpless soul, To a Savior's blood apply ;

He alone can make thee whole ; Fly to Jesus, — sinner, fly !

J. B. W.

82. Sinner, prepare.

1 Sinner, art thou still secure ? Wilt thou still refuse to pray 1

Can thy heart or hands endure In the Lord's avenging day 1

2 See, his mighty arm is bared '. Awful terrors clothe his brow !

For his judgment stand prepared, Thou must either break or bow.

3 At his presence nature shakes, Earth allYL to flee;

Solid mountains melt like wax,

it will then become of thee1

. his advent may abide ? You your shame,

Will you find a place to hide,

world is wrapt in flame ?

5 Lord, prepare us by thy grace ! Soon we must resign our breath,

And our souls be call'd to pass Through the iron gate of death.

C Let us now our day improve, Listen to the gospel voice ;

Seek the things that are above; Scorn the world's pretended joys.

83. The Narrow Gate.

1 Seek, my soul, the narrow gate, Enter, ere it be too late ;

Many ask to enter there, When too late to ofl'er prayer.

3 God from mercy's seat shall rise, And for ever bar the skies :

Then, though sinners cry without, lit will say, "I know you not."

3 Mournfully will they exclaim — 1 Lord ! we have profess'd thy

name ; We have ate with thee, and heard Heavenly teaching in thy word.'

4 Vain, alas ! will be their plea, Workers of iniquity ;

Sad their everlasting lot — Christ will say, 'I know you not.'

1 From whence doth this union arise, That hatred is conquer'd by love ! Jt fastens our souls in such ties,

As distance and time can't remove.

2 It cannot in Eden be found, Nor yet in a Paradise lost :

It grows on Immanuel's ground, And Jesus' dear blood it did cost.

3 My friends are so dear unto me, Our hearts all united in love : "Where Jesus has gone, we shall be, In yonder bright mansions above.

4 O why then so loth now to part ? Since we shall ere long meet again; Engraved on Immanuel's heart,

At distance we cannot remain.

5 And when we shall see that bright day, And join with the angels above,

And leaving these bodies of clay, Unite with our Jesus in love,

6 With Jesus we ever shall reign ; Wc all his bright glory shall see, And sing, ' Hallelujah, Amen :' Amen, even so let it be.

1 There is a land of pure delight, Win-re saints immortal reign ;

Infinite nay 'xcludes (lie I And pleasures banish pain.

2 There everlasting spring abides, And never-withering flowers ;

Dentil, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours.

3 Sweet fields beyond the swell-

in? flood, Stand dress'd in living green ; So hi the Jews old Canaan stood, Whiie Jordan roll'd between.

4 But timorous mortals start and

shrink, To cross this narrow sea ; And li'i^er, shivering on the brink, And fear to launch away.

5 Oh ! could we make our doubts

remove, Those gloomy doubts that rise, An<! see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes !

6 Could we but climb where Mo- , sps stood,

And view the landscape o'er, Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood, Could fright us from the shore.

86. The Soul. ,

1 What is the thing of greatest

price, The whole creation round ?— That which was lost in Paradise, That which in Christ is found :

2 The soul of man — Jehovah's

breath— That keeps two worlds in strife ; Hell moves beneath to work its death, Heaver, noops to give it life.

3 God, to redeem It, did not spare His well beloved Son ;

to save it, d« i«n'd to bear The sins of all — in one.

4 And is this treasure borne be-

low, In parthen vessels frail ? Can none its utmost value know, Till flesh and spirit fail ?

5 Then let us gather round the

cross, That knowledge to obtain ; Not hy the soul's eternal loss, But everlasting gain.

87. htdecming Lore.

1 Yn saints, assist me in my song-- Let all your passions move ;

To Jesus all the notes bpJong— I sing redeeming love.

2 Opposing spirits 'gainst hiscrosa, Their force united prove ;

Butquit t lie field with mighty loss, Crush'd by redeeming love.

3 Around the circle of his friends His tender passions move ;

And while he lived, his constant theme Was still redeeming love.

4 Gently he raised his sacred

hands, Before his last remove ■ And the last whispers of his > tongue,

Sigh'd forth redeming love.

5 Thro' life's wide waste, with

weary feet, In darkness I may rove ; But never can my heart forget Redeeming, dying love.

1 Awake, ami sing the song Of MuSCS ami tin- Lamb ;

Wake, every heart and every tongue.

To praise the Savior's name.

2 Sinn of his dying leve : Sing of his rising power !

Si ii2, how he intercedes ahove, For those whose sins he bore.

3 Sin?, till we feel our hearts Ascending with our tongues :

Sin?, till the love of sin departs, And grace inspires our songs.

4 Sing on your heavenly way — Ye ransom'd sinners, sing!

Sinn on. rejoicing every day, In Christ, the exalted King.

5 Soon we shall hear him say.

u Ye blessed children, come :"'

Soon will he call us hence away,

And take his wanderers home.

6 Soon shall our raptured tongue His endless praise proclaim ;

And sweeter voices tune the song Of Moses and the Lamb.

And every promise in his word, Declares ll there yet is room."

4 Lord, draw reluctant souls, And feast them with th> love:—

Then will the angels clap their wings, And bear the news above.

5.Assembled round his throne, They shall his face behold :

And sing of all his dying pains, Whose love can ne'er be told.

89. The Accepted Tunc.

1 Now is the accepted time — Now is the day of grace : —

Now. sinners, come without delay

And seek the Savior's face.

2 Now is the accepted time, The Savior cals to-day ; —

Pardon and peace he freely uives; Then why should you delay]

3 Now is the accepted time, The gospel bids you come ;

90. TJie Love of Jesus.

TV^itten for the Lyre.

1 My Jesus, thou hast taught This heart to love bet. thee ;

The sweetest joys below are fraught With emptiness to ni3.

2 If sorrow shades my eyes, It is when thou art fled ;

Deep in the dust my spirit lies, And mourns its comforts dead.

3 The world has lost its power To sooihe this inward pain ;

To me it is a faded flower, That cannot bloom again.

4 Rut when thy smile appears, To chase my gloom away,

How bursts my song ! how sink my fears ; My night is turn'd to day.

5 Then, Lord, no more permit This heart from thee to rovo

CHORUS.

For soon the reaping- time will come, And angels shout the harvest home.

2 Will it relieve their horrors there, To recollect their stations here;

How much they heard, how much they knew, How much among the wheat they grew ?

3 No! this will aggravate their case, They perish'd under means of grace; To them the word of lite and faith Became an instrument of death.

4 We seem alike when thus we meet, Strangers might think we all were wheat; But to the Lord's ail-searching eyes, Each heart appears without disguise.

5 The tares are spared for various ends, Some for the sake of praying friends : Others the Lord, against their will, Employs his counsels to fulfil.

6 But though they grow so tall and strong, His plan will not require them long;

In harvest, when he saves his own, The tares shall into hell be thrown.

7 Oh ! awful thought, and is it so ? Must all mankind the harvest know? Is every man a wheat or tare ?

Me, for that harvest, Lord, prepare.

The Christian while lie sings; It is the Lord who ri

With healing on his wings: When comforts are declining,

He grants the sonl again A season of clear shining,

To cheer it after rain.

2 In holy contemplation,

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

And find it ever new : Set free from present sorrow,

We cheerfully can say, Let the unknown to morrow

Bring with it what it may.

3 It can bring with it nothing,

But he will 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.

4 Though vine nor fig-tree neither,

Their wonted fruit shall 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.

2 I would not live alway, thus fetter'd by sin ; Temptation without, and corruption within : E'en the rapture of pardon is mingled with fears, And the cup of thanksgiving with penitent tears.

3 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 hail him in triumph descending the skies.

4 Who, who would live alway, away from his God ; Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode,

Where the rivers of pleasure (low o'er the bright plains, And the noontide of glory eternally reigns :

5 Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet, Their Savior and brethr3n, transported to greet; While the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll, And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul !

1 'Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints, How sweet to my soul is conun union with saints' To find at the banquet of mercy there's room, And feel in the presence of Jesus at home.

CHORUS.

Home, home, siccet, sweet home,

Prepare me, dear Savior, for glory, my home*

2 Sweet bonds that unite all the children of peace ! And thrice precious Jesus, whose love cannot cease 1 Though oft from thy presence in sadness I roam,

I long to behold thee, in glory at home.

3 I sigh from this body of sin to be free,

Which hinders my joy and communion with thee; Thougli now my temptations like billows may foam, All, all will be peace, when I'm with thee at home.

4 While here in the valley of conflict I stay,

O give me submission and strength as my day; In all my afflictions to thee would I come, Rejoicing in hope of my glorious home.

5 Whate'er thou deniest, O give me thy grace, The Spirit's sure witness, and smiles of thy face; Indulge me with patience to wait at thy throne, And find even now a sweet foretaste of home.

6 I long, dearest Lord, in thy beauties to shine, No more as an exile, in sorrow to pine, And in thy dear image, arise from the tomb, With glorified millions to praise thee, at Home.

Home, home, sweet, sweet home,

Receive me, dear Savior, in glory, my home.

145 96. Sweet Home.

1 A.v alien from God, and n Btranger to grace,

I wandered through earth, its gay pleasures to trace In the pathway of sin I continued to roam, Unmindful, alas! that it led me from home. Home, home, sweet, sweet home, O Savior! direct me to heaven, my home.

2 The pleasures of earth, I have seen fade away, They bloom for a season, but soon they decay, But pleasures more lasting, in Jesus are given, Salvation on earth, and a mansion in heaven.

Home, home, sweet, sweet home,

The saints in those mansions are ever at home.

3 Allure me no longer, ye false glowing charms ' The savior invites me, I'll go to his arms;

At the banquet of mercy, I hear there is room,

0 there may I feast with his children at home!

Home, home, sweet, sweet home,

O Jesus, conduct me to heaven, my home

4 Farewell, vain amusements, my follies, adieu, While Jesus, and heaven, and glory I view;

1 feast on the pleasures that (low from his throne, The foretaste of heaven, sweet heaven, my home.

Home, home, sweet, sweet home,

O when shall I share the fruition of home !

5 The days of'my exile are passing away,

The time is approaching, when Jesus will say, 1 Well done, faithful servant, sit down on my throne, And dwell in my presence forever at home.' Home, home, sweet, sweet home, O there I shall rest with the Savior at home.

C Afflictien, and sorrow, and death shall be o'er, The saints shall unite to be parted no more; There loud hallelujahs fill heaven's high dome, They dwell with the Savior for ever at home. Home, home, sweet, sweet home, Thev dwell with the Savior for ever at home. 13

To cheat me; but I fly the em- brace, "To be with Christ is b

M To be with Christ is best."

4 'Tis de=ert here, and thorns and

So often seeks my overthrow, — " To be with Christ is best."

3 Should friends and kindred on

down, " To be with Christ is best."

4 Had I a voice so loud and strong, To sound from east to west ;

I'd Ml the honor-seeking"throng, " To be with Christ is best."

5 O come, sweet Jesus, quickly

come, And cheer my fainting breast ; 1 /onir to reach my heavenly home, " To be with Christ is best."

G Pinion'd with love, I'd take the wing, And p.y to thee, my rest : There with the church triumphant sing, " To be with Christ is best"

From every transient joy, From every mortal treasure

That soon will fade and die ; No longer these desiring,

Upwards our wishes tend, To nobler bliss aspiring,

And joys that never end.

2 From every piercing sorrow, That heaves our breast to- day, Or threatens us to-morrow, Hope turns our eyes away ;

On wings of faith ascending, We see the land of light,

And feel our sorrows ending, In infinite delight.

3 'Tis true, we are but strangers, And sojourners below; And countless snares and dan- gers Surround the path wp go: Though painful and distressing

Yet there is a rest acuve ; And onward still we're prew

To reach that land of love

And still are upwards borne ; So grief is rooted in our souls, And man grows up to mourn :

3 Yet with my God I leave my

4 Not all the pains that e'er I bore, Shall spoil my future peace,

For death and hell can do no more Than what my Father please.

face ! Hast tbou not said— Return 7

1 O why did I my Savior leave, So soon unfaithful prove :

How could 1 thy good Spirit grieve, And sin against thy love 1

2 I forced thee first to disappear, I turn'd thy face aside ;

Ah, Lord! if thou hadst still been here, Thy servant had not died.

3 But O, how soon thy wrath is

o'er, And pardoning love takes place ! As-ist me. Savior, to adore The riches of thy grace.

4 O could I lose myself in thee ; Thy depth of mercy prove ;

Thou vast, unfathomable sea Of unexhausted love !

5 My humble soul, when thou art

near, In dust and ashes lies : How shall a sinful worm appear, Or meet thy purer eyes 1

6 I loathe myself, when God I see, And into nothing fall ;

Content, if thou exalted be, And Christ be Ml in All.

109. The Bible a precious treasure,

1 Precious Bible! whal a tremame

D m the word of God afford ! All I want for life or j leasure,

Food and medicine, Bhieid and sword. Let the world account n

Having this, I want no more.

2 Food to which the world's a stranger,

Here my hungry soul enjoys; Of excess there is no danger,

Though it fills, it never cloys : On a dying Christ I {ced, He is meat and drink indeed!

3 When my faith is faint and sickly,

Or when .Satan wounds my mind, Cordials to revive rne quickly,

Heafing medicine here 1 find ; To the promises I flee, Each affords a remedy.

4 In the hour of dark temptation

Satan cannot make me yield; For the word of consolation

Is to me a mighty shield : While the Scripture truths are sure From liis malice I'm secure.

5 Vain hi* threats to overcome me,

When I lake the Spirit's Bword: Then with ease I drive him from me,

Satan trembles at the word: 'Tis a sword for conquest ma !e, Keen the edge, and strong the blade.

6 Shall I envy then the miser,

Doating on his golden store ? Sure I am, or should be wiser,

I am rich, 'tis he is poor. Jesus gives me, in his word, Food and medicine, shield and sword.

161 110. The Atonement.

1 Saw ye my Savior — Saw yc my Savioi; Saw ye my Savior and God ?

O! he died on Calvary,

To atone for yon and me,

And to purchase our pardon with ulood.

2 He was extended — He was extended, Painfully nail'd to the cross;

Here he bow'd his head and died,

Thus my Lord was crucified,

To atone for a world tiiat was '.ost.

3 Jesus baqg bleeding — Jesus hung bleeding, Three dreadful hours Hi pain,

And the solid rocks were rent, Through creation's vast extent, When the Jews crucified the God-man.

4 Darkness prevailed — Darkness prevailed, Darkness prevailed o'er the land,

And the sun refused to shine,

When his majesty divine,

Was derided, insulted and slain.

5 When it was flnisii'd — When it was finish'd, And the atonement was made,

He was taken by the great, And embalm'd with spices sweet, And was in a new sepulchre laid.

6 Hail, mighty Savior — Hail, mighty Savior, Prince, and the author of peace ;

O! he burst the bars of death, And, triumphant from the earth, He ascended to mansions of bliss.

7 There interceding — There interceding, Pleading that sinners may live, Crying, " Father, I have died,

O, behold my hands aud side,

O, forgive them, I pray thee, forgive."

8 " I will forgive them — I will forgive them When they repent and b?lieve,

Let them now return to thee,

And be reconciled to me,

And salvation thev all shall receive."

163 111. The Hiding-plate.

1 Hail, sovereign love, that first began Thr - le fallen man ;

Hail, matchless, free, eternal grace, That gave my soul a hiding-place !

i nst the God. that built the sky, I fought with hands uplifted high :

wed the mansions of his grace, Too proud to seek a hiding-place.

3 En wrapt in dark Egyptian night. And fond of darkness more than light Madly I ran the sinful race.

Secure without a hiding-place !

4 But lo ! the eternal counsel rant 1 Almighty love arrest the man-,'

I felt the arrows of disti

And. found I had no hiding-place.

5 Vindictive justice stood in view, To Sinai's fiery mount 1 flew ;

But justice cried, with frowuiug face, This mouutain is no hiding-place.

6 But lo ! a heavenly voice I heard, And mercy's angel soon appear'd ; Who led me on a pleasing pace, To Jesus Christ, my hiding-place.

7 On him Almighty vengeance fell, Which must have sunk a wo;ld to hell He bore it for his chosen race,

And thus became their hiding-place.

107 113. Why Sleep We"}

WRITTEN BY REV. J. HOPKINS.

1 Why sleep Ave, my brethren ? come, let us arise, O, why should we slumber in sight of the prize 1 Salvation is nearer, our clays are far spent,

O, let us be active; awake ! and repent.

2 O, how can we slumber ! the Master is come, And calling on sinners to seek them a home; The Spirit and Bride wow in concert unite, The weary they welcome, the careless invite.

3 O, how can we slumber! our foes are awake ; To ruin poor souls every effort they make ;

To accomplish their object no means are untried, The careless they comfort, the wakeful misguide.

4 O, how can we slumber! when so much was done, To purchase salvation by Jesus the Son!

Now mercy is proffer'd, and justice display'd, Now God can be honor'd, and sinners be saved.

5 O, how can we slumber! when death is so near, And sinners are sinking to endless despair;

Now prayers may avail, and they gain the high prize, Before they in torment shall lift up their eyes.

6 O, how can ye slumber! ye sinners, look round, Before the last trumpet your hearts shall confound; O, fly to the Savior, he calls you to-day ;

While mercy is waiting, O make no delay.

The year of Jubilee is come; Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home.

Ye mournful souls, be glad ! The year of Jubilee is come ; Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home. 15

Say, will you have this Christ or no ?

3 Come, bloominsr youth, for ruin bound, Obey the gospel's joyful sound ; Come, go with us, and you shall prove The joys of Christ's red.eeming love.

4 Behold, he's waiting at your door ! Make now your choice ; O, halt no more Say, sinner, say, what will you do ? Say, will you have this Christ or no ?

5 Your sport?, and all your flittering toys, Compared to our celestial joys,

Like momentary dreams appear ; Come, go with us — your souls are dear.

6 Why rush in carnal pleasures on ? Why madly plunge in sorrow down ? Say," without Christ what can you do ? Say, will you have this Christ or no ?

7 O, must we bid you all farewell ;

We bound to heaven, and you to bell ? Still God may hear us while we pray, And change you, ere that burning day.

8 Once more we ask you in his name, We know his love remains the same; Say, will you to mount Zion go ? Say, will you have this Christ or no ?

116. The Star of Bethlehem. 117. The Ransomed Spirit.

1 When marshall'd on the nightly

plain, The grlitterinjz host bestud tho sky, One star alone, of all the train, Can fix the sinner's wandering

eye : Hark ! hark ! to God the chorus

breaks, From every host, from every pern ; But one alone the Savior speaks, It is the Star of Bethlehem.

2 Once on the raging seas I rode, The storm was loud, the night

was dark, The ocean yawn'd, and rudely

blow'd The wind that toss'd my found- ering hark. Deep horror then my vitals froze, Death-struck, I ceased the tide to

stem : When suddenly a Star arose, It was the Star of Bethlehem.

3 It was mv guide, my licht, my all,

It bade my dark foreboding cease ;

And through the sLorni and dan- ger's thrall,

It led me to the port of peace.

Now safely moor'd — my perils o'er,

I'll sing, first in night's diadem,

For ever and forevermore,

The Star— the Star of Bethlehem.

BY W. B. TAPPAS.

1 The ransom'd spirit to her home, The clime of cloudless beauty flies; No mora on stormy seas to roam, She hails her haven in the skies : But cheerless are those heavenly

fields, That cloudless clime no pleasure

yields, There is no bliss In bowers above, U thou art absent, Holy Love !

2 The cherub near the viewless

throne,

Hath smote the harp with trem- bling hand ;

And one with incense-fire hath flown,

To touch with flame the angel band ;

But tuneless is the quivering string,

No melody can Gabriel bring,

Mute are its arches, when above

The harps of heaven wake not to Love !

3 Earth, sea and sky one lan-

guage speak. Tn harmony that soothes the soul ; 'Tis heard when scarce the

zephyrs wake, And when on thunders thunders

roll: That voice is heard, and tumults

cease, It whispers to the bosom peace ; Speak, thou Inspirer, from above, And cheer our hearts, celestial

Love!

The fellowship of kindred minds, Is like to that above.

2 Before our Father's throne We pour our ardet.t prayers ;

Our fears, our hopes, our aims aie one, Our comforts and our cares.

3 We share our mutual woes Our mutual burdens hew ;

\nc\ often for each other flows The sympathizing tear.

4 When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain ;

But we shall still be join'd in heart, And hope to meet again.

5 This glorious hope revives Our courage by the way ;

While each in expectation lives, And longs to see the day.

6 From sorrow, toil and pain, And sin, we shall be free ;

And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.

2 No longer now delay ;

une : He bid? you come to dayj Tho1 poor, and blind, and lamf1 : All things are ready, Burners,

come ! For every trembling soul there's room.

3 Compell'd by bleeding love, Ye wandering souls, draw neat ; Christ calls you from above — His charming accents hear !

Let whosoever will, now come ; In mprcy's arms there still is room.

120. Pastoral Cares.

1 Who can describe the pain, Which faithful preachers feel, Constraint to preach in vain, To hearts as hard as steel !

Or who can tell the pleasures felt, When stubborn hearts besin to melt?

2 The Savior's dying love, The soul's amazing worth, Their warm affections move, And draw their efforts forth :

They pray and strive — their rest

departs, Till Christ be form'd in sinner's

hearts.

8 If some small hope appear, They still are not content ; But with a jealous fear, They watch for the event : Too oft they find their hopes de- ceived ; Then how their inmost souls are grieved.

4 But when their pains succeed, And from the tender blade, The ripening * an proceed, Ttif ir toils are overpaid :

No harvest jovs can equal theirs, To find the fruit of all their care9

5 On what lias now been sown, Thy blessing, Lord, bestow ; Tii.- power is thine alone, To make it spriim and grow:

on the gracious harvest

And thou alone shall have the

praise.

121. Doxology.

1 We £iive immortal praise To God the Father's love, For all our comforts here, And all our hopes above :

He sent his own Eternal Son, To die for sins that man had done.

2 To God the Son belongs Immortal glory too,

Who saved us by his blood,

From everlasting wo : And now he lives', and now he

r< iens, And sees the fruit of all his pains.

3 To God the Spirit, praise

n worship give, new-creating power Makes the dead sinner live : His work completes the great de- sign, And fills the soul with joy divine

4 Almighty God ! to thee Be endless honors done ; The sacred Persons three, The Godhead only one :

Where reason fails with all he/

powers, There faith prevails, and Jove

adores.

1 Ye angels, who stand round the throne,

And view my mmanuel's face, Iu rapturous songs make him known ,

Tune, tune your soft harps to his praise He form'd you the spirits you are,

So happy, so noble, so good ; When others sunk down in despair,

Confirm'd by his power, ye stood.

2 Ye saints, who stand nearer than they,

And cast your bright crowns at his feet, His grace and his giory display,

And all his rich mercy repeat: H*» match'd you from hell and the grave- He ransom rd from death and despair: For you he was mighty to save, Almighty to bring you safe there

3 Oh, when will the period appear,

When I shall unite in your song? I'm weary of lingering here,

And I to your Savior belong! I'm fetter'd and chain'd up in clay;

I struggle and pant to be free ; I long to be soaring away,

My God and my Savior to see !

4 I want to put on rr.y attire,

Wash'd white in the blood of the Lamb,*

I want to be one of your choir.

And tune my sweet harp to his name;

I want — Oh, I wanl to be there, Where "sorrow and sin bid adieu —

Your joy and your friendship to share- To wonder, and worship with you !

180 123. Longing for Christ.

1 How tedious and tasteless the hours,

When Jesus no longer I see ; Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flowers,

Have all lost their sweetness to me : The midsummer sun shines but dim,

The fields strive in vain to look gay; But when I am happy in him,

December's as pleasant as May.

2 His name yields tne richest perfume, And sweeter than music his voice ; His presence disperses my gloom,

And makes all within me rejoice : I should, were he always thus nigh,

Have nothing to wish or to fear ; No mortal so happy as 1,

My summer would last all the year.

3 Content with beholding his face,

My all to his pleasure resign'd ; No changes of season or place

Would make any change in my mind : While bless'd with a sense of his love,

A palace a toy would appear ; And prisons would palaces prove,

If Jesus would dwell with me there.

4 Dear Lord, if indeed I am thine,

If thou art my sun and my son?, Say, why do I languish and pine ?

And why are my winters so long ? O drive these dark clouds from my sky,

Thy soul-cheering presence restore : Or take me to thee up on high,

Where winter and clouds are no more.

1 Once I thought my mountain

strong, Firmly hx'd, no more to move ; Then my Savior was my sons. Then "my soul was filTd with love ; Those were happy, golden days, y spent ia prayer and praise.

2 Little then myself I knew, Liule (bought of Satan's power;

Now I feel my sii.s anew ;

Now I feel the stormy hour ! Sin has put ray joys to ffig Sin lias turn'd my day to night.

3 Savior, shine and cheer my soul, Bid my dying hope? revive r

Make my wounded spirit whole,

Far away the tempter drive ; Speak the word and set me free, Let me live alone to thee.

]*2S. Faith Encouraged.

1 Pensive, doubting, fearful heart, Hear what Christ the Savior says ; Every word should joy impart. Change thy mourning into praise.

Fearful soul, attend and >ce ;

Yes, he speaks, and speaks to thee.

2 " Fear thou not, n >r be ashamed,

All thy sorrows -*->n shall end ;

I, who heaven and earth have framed,

Am thy husband and thy friend : I, the High and Holy One, As thy Savior will be known.

3 "For a moment I withdrew,

And thy heart was tiii'd with pain;

But thy mercies I'll renew.

Thou shalt soon rejoice asain : 'J' hough I seem to hide my face, *Tis but for a moment's space

Comfortless awhile thou art,

Faithful souls shall ne er be lost ;

129. Backslider's Confession. 130. Christ at the Door

Written for the Lyre.

1 Met. O God, to ask thy presence, Join our souls to seek thy grace;

Oh. deny us not, nor spurn us, Guilty rebels from thy face.

2 All is sin, we own, our Father, All our lives are mark'd with

guilt ; Nought we plead, our sins to cover, Save^he blood that Jesus spilt.

3 We have wander'd — long have

wander'd, Much we need thy chastening rod ; But we come to own our folly: Heal and pardon, O our God !

4 May thy people wake from

slumber, Ere their lamps shall fail and

die : Bridegroom of the Church, awake

them ! Rouse them by the " midnight

cry."

5 Let conviction seize the care-

less,

Through their souls thine ar- rows dart ; Let thy truth, so long rejected,

Break and melt the flinty heart.

C Oh, t'^ou kind, forciving Spirit, Comforter, on thee we call !

Cheer the saint— alarm the sinner, Qh. ie\r «a revive us all.

J. B. W.

Written for the Lyre.

1 Jehus stands, oh, how amazing, Stands and knocks at every

door ; In his hands ten thousand bless- ings, Profler'd to the wretched poor.

2 See me bleeding, dying, rising, To prepare yon heavenly rest ;

Listen, while I kindly call you, Hear — and be for ever blest.

3 Will you spurn my richest mer-

cy, Spurn— and sink to endless pain ; Or to realms of bliss and glory Rise, and with me ever reign ?

4 Now I have not come to judg-

ment, To condemn your wretched race ; But to ransom ruin'd sinners, And display unbounded grace.

5 Will you plunge in endless

darkness, There to bear eternal pain ; Or to realms of glorious bright- ness Rise — and with me ever reign ?

6 Will you hear my invitation, That your sins may be forgiven ;

Or now make the guilty pre- ference, Which shall bar your souls from heaven ?

1 God of my life, look gently down,

Behold the pains 1 feel ; But I am dumb before thy throne. Nor dare dispute thy will.

2 Diseases are thy servants, Lord,

They come at thy command ;

I'll not attempt a murmuring word

Against thy chastening hand.

3 Yet I may plead, with humble cries,

Remove thy sharp rebukes : My strength consumes, my spirit dies, Through thy repeated strokes.

4 Crush'd as a moth beneath thy hand,

We moulder to the dust ; Our feeble powers can ne'er withstand And all our beauty's lost.

5 I'm but a stranger here below,

As all my fathers were ; May I be well prepared to go, When I the summons hear !

6 And if my life be spared awhile,

Before my last remove ; Thy praise shall be my business still, And I'll declare thy love.

Written for the Lyre. 1 Soldiers of the cross, arise ! Lo ! your leader from the skies Waves before you dory's prize,

The prize of victory. Seize your armor — gird it on ; TlR' battle's yours, it will be won ; Though fierce the strife 'twill soon be done ;

Then struggle manfully.

2 Jesus conquer'd when lie fell, Met and vanquish'd earth and

hell; Now he leads you on, to swell

The triumphs of his cross.

Though all earth and hel! appear,

Who will doubt or who can fear ?

M God our strength and shield" is

near ;

We cannot lose our cause.

3 Onward, then, ye hosts of God! Jesus points the victor's rod ; Follow where your Leader trod ; You soon shall see his face. Boon, your enemies all slain, The crown of glory you shall

gain ; And walk among that glorious train, Who shout their Savior's praise.

J. B. W.

Christian Warrior.

Written fur the Lyre.

1 Servants of the living God, When the paths of sin ye trod, Grace restrain'd the angry rod ;

Bless Messiah's name. Satan's bondmen once ye were, Willing captives in his snare, Till with mighty arm made bare,

Christ your rescue came.

2 Now the fight of faith begin ; Be no more the slaves of sin ; Strive the victor's palm to win,

Trusting in the Lord.

Gird ye on the armor bright,

Warriors of the King of light,

Never yield, nor lose by flight

Your divine reward.

3 Fear not, though a feeble band, Marching through a hostile land ; Guided by a mighty hand,

Ye shall win the day. Faithful to your banner be, Ever fighting manfully ; Laurels shall be won by thee,

Fading not away.

4 Sinners, long estratiged from God, Path>< of sorrow ve have trod, Oft have felt the avenging rod ;

Peace have never known. Give to Christ the glory due, Be his soldieis faithful, true ; Then he will award to you,

An immortal crown.

A mansion of rest ; We see, not regretting,

The shadows arise, The sun of life setting

And night on the skies.

Thousrh starless the skies, Extinguish'd all tight,

And death on our An unclouded morning

Shall rise on the tomb, Before whose bright dawning

Shall vanish its doom.

136. 0 Sacrd Head. Translated from Gerhard's faro-

fits (Jmiuin Ifinini, "O Ilaupt VdII biut and nvuihIoii,"

BY REV. J. W. ALEXANDER.

I O sacred Head, now wounded,

With grief and shame weigh'd down ; Now scornfully surrounded

Wiin thorns, thy only crown : O sacred Head, what glory,

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

I joy to call thee mine/

2 O noblest brow and dearest,

In other days the world All fear'd when thon appearedst ;

What shame on thee is hurl'd ! Hew art thou pale with anguish,

With sore abuse and scorn ; Clow does that visage languish,

Which once was bright as morn.

3 What hou, my Lord, hast suf- ferM,

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

But thine rhe deadly pain. Lo, here T fall, my Savior !

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

Vouchsafe to me thy grace !

i Receive me, my Redeemer, My Shepherd, make me thine ;

Of every good the fountain, Thou art the spring of mine.

Thy lips with love distilling, And milk of truth sincere,

With heaven's blin are filling The soul that trembles lure.

5 The joy can ne'er be spoken

— 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 the cross expiring,

I'd breathe my soul to thee.

6 What language shall I borrow, To thank thee, dearest Friend,

For this thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end !

O make me thine for ever, And should I fainting be,

Lord, let me never, never, Outlive my love to thee.

7 If I, a wretch, should leave thee,

O Jesus, leave not me ; In faith may I receive thee,

When death shall set me free. When strength and comfort lan- guish.

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

By thine own wounded heart.

8 Be near when 1 am dying,

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

Come, Lord, to set me free. These eyes new faith receiving,

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

Dies safely — through thy love.

Is not to be found in this life-giving food.

2 Did Jesus ordain His supper in vain, And furnish a feast

For none but his earliest servants to taste ?

3 Nay, but this is his will. (We know it and feel) That we should partake

The banquet, for all he so freely did make.

4 In rapturous bliss He bids us do this ; The joy it imparts,

Hath witnessed his glorious design in our heart*.

5 'Tis God, we believe, Who cannot deceive ; The witness of God

Is present, and speaks in the mystical blood.

6 Receiving the bread, On Jesus we feed ; It doth not appear,

Kis maimer of working, but Jesus is here.

138. Kedron.

1 Thou sweet gliding Kedron, by thy silver streams, Our Savior at midnight, when moonlight's pale beams Shone bright on the waters, would frequently stray, And lose, in thy murmurs, the toils of the day.

2 How damp were the vapors that fell on his head ' How hard was his pillow, how humble his bed! Ine angels, astonish'd, grew sad at the sight, And follow'd their Master with solemn delight.

3 O garden of Olivet, thou dear honor'd spot, The fame of thy wonders shall ne'er be forgot; The theme most transporting to seraphs above ; The triumph of sorrow, — the triumph of love !

4 Come, saints, and adore him ; come, bow at his feet! O, give him the glory, the praise that is meet; Let joyful hosannahs unceasing arise, And join die full chorus, that gladdens the skies.

1 Brother, thou art gone before us, And iliy saintly son) is flown, Where tears are wiped from eve- ry eye, And sorrow is unknown. From the burden of the flesh,

And from care and sin n Where the wicked cease from troubling, And the weary are ai rest.

2 The toilsome way, thou'st tra- vel'd o'er, And hast borne the heavy load ; But Christ hath taught thy lan- guid feet To reach his blest abode. Thou rt Bleeping now, like Laza- rus, On his Father's faithful b east, Where the wicked cease from troubling, And the weary are at rest.

3 Sin can never taint thee now, Nor can doubt thy faith assail,

Nor tny meek trust in Jesus Christ And the Holy Spirit faL.

And then thou'rt sure to meet the good, Whom on earth thou lovedst

best, Where the wicked cease from troubling, And the weary are at rest

4 " Earth to earth, and dust to

dust," Thus the solemn priest hath said ; So we lay the turf above thee now, And seal thy narrow bed; But thy spirit, brother, so.'rsaway,

Among the faithful blest, Where the wicked cease from troubling, And the weary are at rest.

5 And when the Lord shall sum-

mon us, Whom thou now hast left be- hind. May we, untainted by the world,

As sure a welcome find ; May each, like thee, depart in peace, To be a g'orious, happy guest, Where the wicked cease from troubling, And the weary are at rest

140. The Voice of Warning.

1 Ah, guilty sinner, ruin'd by transgression,

What shall thy doom be, when array'd in terror, God shall command thee, eover'd with pollution, Up to the judgment?

2 Wilt tliou escape from his omniscient notice, Flv to the caverns, court annihilation ?

Vain thy presumption, justice still shall triumph In thy destruction.

3 Stop, thoughtless sinner, stop awhile and ponder, Ere death arrest thee, and the Judge, in vengeance, Hurl from his presence thine affrighted spirit,

Swift to perdition.

4 Oft has he called thee, but thou wouldst not hear him, Mercies and judgments have alike been slighted; Yet he is gracious, and with arms unfolded,

Waits to embrace thee.

5 Come, then, poor sinner, come away this moment, Just as you are, come, filthy and polluted,

Come to the fountain open for uncleanness;

Jesus invites you.

6 But, if you trifle with his gracious message, Cleave to the world and love its guilty pleasures, Mercy, grown wean-, shall in righteous judgment,

Quit you for ever.

7 Then you shall call, but he will not regard you, Seek lor his favor, yet shall never find it,

Cry to the rocks to lude you from his presence,

Deep in their caverns.

8 Where the worm dies not, and the fire eternal, Fills the lost soul with anguish and with terror, There shall the sinner spend a long for ever,

Dying unpardoned.

9 Oh ! guilty sinner, hear the voice of warning ; Fly to the Savior, and embrace his pardon ; Bo shall your spirit meet, with joy triumphant,

Death and the judgment !

341. Escape for thy Life.

Written for the Lyre.

1 See Sodom wrapt in fire! And hark, what piercing shrieks!

Those daring retx la now expire, For God in justice speaks.

2 O sinner, mark thy fate ! Soon will the Judge appear;

And then thy cries will come too late ; Too late for God to hear.

3 Thy day of mercy gone, The Spirit grieved away.

Thy cup, long filling, now o'er- flown, Demands the vengeful day.

4 Thy God, insulted, seems

To draw his glitterinz sword ; And o'er thy guilty head it gleams, To vindicate his word.

5 One only hope T see ;

Oh, Binner, seize it now. — The blood that Jesus shed for thee ! No other hope hast thou.

J. B. \V.

14*2. Invitation.

1 Sinners, the call obey, The latest call of grace:

The day is come, the vengeful day Of a devoted race.

2 Enter into the Rock.

Ye trembling slaves of sin, The Rock of your salvation, struck And cleft to take you in.

3 Jesus, to thee we fly From the devouring sword ;

Our city of defence is nigh ; , Our help is in the Lord.

4 Our life with thee we hide Above the furious blast,

And shelter'd in thy wounds abide Till all the storms are past.

143. Justification.

1 flow can a sinner know His sins on earth forgiven ?

How can my gracious Savior show My name inscribed in heaven ?

2 We who in Christ believe That he for us hath died,

We all his unknown peace receive, And feel his blood applied.

3 Exults our rising soul, Disburthen'd of her load,

And swells unutterably full Of glory and of God.

4 His love, surpassinz far The love of all beneath,

We find within our hearts, and dare The pointless darts of death.

5 We by his Spirit prove, And know the things of God,

The things which freely of his love He hath on us beslow'd.

6 His Spirit to us he gave, And dwells in us we know ;

The witness in ourselves we have And all its fruits we show.

7 Whate'er our pardoning Lord Commands, we gladly do ;

And guided by hie sacred word, We all his steps pursue.

8 His g'ory our design,

We live our God to please ; And rise with filial fear divine, To perfect holiness.

144. Closet Hymn.

Written for the I.yrs

1 \N hen, O my Savior, shall this

heart So feel the influence of thy grace, That from thy cross 'twill ne'er

depart ; But live around that hallow'd

place ?

2 The brightest scenes of earth

are dim, If Jesus be not with me there; All worldly joys, compared with

him, Seem vain as fleeting shadows

are.

3 O could I live beneath his smile, And lean upon his sacred breast, No fond allurement should be- guile

A heart so privileged — so blest.

4 Come then, my Savior, and con-

strain This wayward soul, nor let it

rove ; Recal me to thine arms again, And bind me there -i with cords of

love." J. B. W.

145. Repentance.

1 Stay, thou insulted Spiri:, stay, Though I have done thee such

despite ; Nor cast the sinner quite away, Nor take thine everlasting flight.

2 Though I have most unfaithful

been, Of all who e'er thy grace received ! Ten thousand times thy goodness

seen ; Ten thousand times thy goodness

grieved :

18*

3 Yet, O ! the chief of sinners

spare, In honor of my great Tlish Priest : Nor in thy righteous anger swear I shall not see thy people's rest.

4 This only wo I deprecate ; This only plague I pray remove ; Nor leave me in my lost estate, Nor curse me with this want of

love.

5 Now, Lord, my weary soul re-

lease, And raise me with thy gracious

hand ; Guide me into thy perfect peace, And bring me to the promised

land.

146. Prayer for Zeal.

1 O thou who all things canst

control, Chase tins dead slumber from my

soul, With joy and fear, with love and

awe. Give me to keep thy perfect law.

2 O mav one beam of thy blest

light,

Pierce through, dispel the shade of night ;

Touch my cold breast with hea- venly fire,

With holy, conquering zeal in- spire.

3 With out-stretch'd hands, and

streaming eyes, Oft I begin to grasp the prize ; I groan, I st:ive, I watch, I pray; But, ah ! how soon it dies away 1

4 The deadly slumber soon I feel, Afresh upon my spirit seal ; Rise, Lord ; stir up thy quickening

power, And wake me that I sleep no more

147. Oh fly, Mourning Sinner.

WRITTEN* FOR THE LYRE.

1 O fly, mourning sinner, saith Jesus,to me, Thy guilt I will pardon — thy soul I will free ;

From the chains that have bound thee, my grace shall te-

lease, And thy stains I will wash, and thy sorrows shall cease.

2 Too long, guilty wanderer — too long hast tlwu been In the broad road of rain, in bondage to sin ;

Thee the world has allured, and enslaved, and deceived, While my counsel thou'st spurn'd, and my Spirit hast grieved.

3 Though countless thy sins, and though crimson thy guilt, Yet for crimes such as thine was my blood freely spilt; Come, sinner, and prove me; come, mourner, and see The wounds that I bore, when I suffer'd for thee.

4 Thou doubt'st not my power— deny not my will ; Come, needy — come, helpless, thy soul T will fill; My mercy is boundless; no sinner shall say, That he sued at my feet— but was; driven away,

Oft shall death and sorrow reign, Ere we all shall meet again.

2 Though in distant lands we sigh, Parch'd beneath the hostile sky ; Though the deep between us rolls, Friendship shall unite our souls ; And in fancy's wide domain, There shall we all meet again.

When the dreams of life are fled, When its wasted lamps are dead, When in cold oblivion's shade, Beauty, wealth, and fame are laid ; Where immortal spirits reign, There may we all meet again. •

I. Nothing true but Heaven. 1 Tmi world \<n\\ a fleettngahow,

J! VIMI,

joy, the learn of wo, ill shine, deceitful fl >W ; 's nothiugtrue but Im aven!

;!ie light on glory's

ling hues of even ; And l-.ve, and Dope, and beauty's

bloom, Arc bkkeonifl gather'd for tlio

tomb ;

re's nothing bright but

heaven !

3 Poor wanderers of a stormy day, From wave to wave we're driven ;

And fancy's flash, and reason's

l.!> ,

Serve but to light the troubled Why : Tbere*i nothing calm but heaven !

2. Heaven on earth.

1 Tin? world's not " all a fleeting

show, For man's illuninn niven :" He thai hath soothed a widow's

wo. Or wiped an orphan's tear, doth know There's something here of beaten.

2 And lie chat walks life's thorny

way,

With feelings calm and even ; Whose pat ii \r lit from day to day By virtue's bright and steady ray ;

Jlatii something felt of heaven.

3 He, that the Christian's course bat run, And all his foes forciven ; Who measures out life's little

In love Ui God, and love to man, On earth has tasted heaven.

3. The Heavenly Rest.

1 There is an hour of peaceful

rest,

To m mrnimr wanderers given ; There is a joy i*or souls distreas'd, A balm tor every wounded breast—

Tis found above — in heaven.

2 There is a soft, a downy bed, 'Tis lair as breath of even ;

A rmirh tor weary mortals sprp°d, Where thev may rest the aching head! And find repose — in heaven.

3 There is a home for weary souls, By sin and sorrow driven ;

When tnss'd on life's tempestuous

shoals, Where storms arise, and ocean ro"s, And all is drear — but heaven.

4 There, faith lifts up her cheerful

eye,

To brighter prospects civen ; And views the tempest passing by, The evening shadows quickly fly,

And jl! serene — in heaven.

5 Thpre, fragrant flow era immor-

tal bloom, And joys supreme are given : There j ys divine disperse the

gloom : — Beyond the conrir.es of the tomb> Appears the dawn of heaven

4. Creation.

1 Begin, my sou), the exalted lay, Let each enraptured thought obey,

And praise the Almighty's name ; Lo! heaven and earth, and seas

and skies, In one melodious concert rise, To swell the inspiring theme.

2 Ye fields of light, celesdal

plains, Where gay transporting beauty reigns, Ye scenes divinely fair ; Your Maker's wondrous power

proclaim, Tell how he form'd your shining frame, And breathed the fluid air.

3 Ye angels, catch the thrilling

sound ; While all the adoring thrones around, His boundless mercy sing : Let every listening ear above Wake all the tuneful soul of love, And touch the sweetest string.

4 Join, ye loud spheres, the vocal

choir ; Thou, dazzling orb of liquid fire,

The mighty chorus aid ; Soon as gray evening gilds the

plain, Thou, moon, protract the melting strain, And praise him in the shade.

5 Whate'er a blooming world

contains, That, wings the air, that skims the plains, United praise bestow : Ye dragons, sound his awful

name, To heaven aloud ; and roar ac- claim. Ye swelling deeps below.

6 Let man, by nobler passlonj

sway'd, The feeling heart, the judging

head, Tn heavenly praise employ ; Spread his tremendous name

around, Till heaven's broad arch rings

back the sound, The general burst of joy.

5. Perfect Lore,

1 O oloriotts hope of perfect love! It lifts me up to thinus above ;

It Lears on eagle's wrings ; It gives my ravish'd soul a taste, And makes me tor some moments feast

With Jesus' priests and kings.

2 Rejoicin? now in earnest hope, I stand, and from the mountain top

See all the land below : Rivers of milk and honey rise, And all the fruits of Paradise,

In endless pienty grow.

3 A land of corn, and wine, and

oil, Favor'd with God's peculiar

smile With every blessing blest ; There dwells the Lord our

Righteousness, And keeps his own in perfect

peace, And everlasting rest.

4 O that I might at once go up ! No more on this side Jordan stop,

Bu: now the land possess ! This moment end my legal years; Sorrows and sins, and doubis and fears,

A howling wilderness.

6. Perfect Confidence.

1 Although the vine its fruit deny, The budiing fig-tree droop and ciie,

No oil the olive yield ; Vet will I trust me in my (Sod,

Yea, I >eml rejoicing to his rod, And by his grace be lieai'd.

2 Though fields, in verdure once array'd, By whirlwinds desolate be laid,

Or parch'd by scorching beam; Still in the Lord shall be my trust, My joy; for, though his frown is just,

liis mercy is supreme.

3 Though from the fold the flock decay, Though heids lie famish'd o'er the lea,

And round the empty stall ; My sot.i above the wreck shall rise, lis better joys are in. the skies;

There, God is ad in all.

4 In God my strength, howe'er distrest, 1 yet will hope, and calmly rest,

Nay, triumph in his love; M" lingering soul, my tardy feet, Free as the hind he makes, and fleet,

To speed my course above.

7. The Martyr* $ Death Song.

WRITTEN FOR THE LYRE.

1 I have fought the good fight — I have finish'd my race, And Thee, O my Sa\i.'i\ I booh shall embrace;

They may torture this body — my spirit is tree, And the billows of death shall but waft it to thee.

2 Let thy strength, Lord, but gird me — thy smile be hut mine, A\\i\ my soul on thy faithfulness, firmly recline ;

The dungeon — 'be sword, or the s'ake, I can dare, And in transports e\pirc, — if my Jesus be there.

3 Did my Lord feel the scourge ? Did the thorns pierce hrsbrow? la the darkue.-s of d- ath, on the cross did he bow ]

All this didst thou puffer, my Savior, for me? Then welcome the fe'ters, that link, me to thee.

4 United in sufferings — the promise is clear, I shall with niv Jesus in glory appear; Oat of great tribulation in triumph I go,

"With my robe uasli'd in blood, and made whiter than snow.

5 T go to my Savior — I go to my God,

I tread the same path my Redeemer once trod:

L'nworthy. my Jesus, unworthy am I,

E*en to fall in. thy cause — for thy truth e'en to die.

6 Lo ! on my clear vision, the sear? of the Mess'd Seem calmly to shine, and invi'e me to /est; Then unshaken my soul on the promise relies; "Though I die, 1 shall live — though 1 iali, I shall ri-e."

T trust thy faithfulness unA p »weT, To save me in tJie try in? hour.

4 By faith T see the land, The port <>t endless rest ; My sou!, thy sails expand, And fly to Jesus' breast.

Oh, may I reach the heavenly

shore, Where winds and waves distress

And storms and winds subside ; Lord, to my succor fly, Ami keep me near thy side : For more fhe treacherous calm £

And high the waters flow, And o'er my sides break in : But still my little ship out -In aves The blustering winds, and surging waves.

6 When through this jrulf T ?et, (Though rough it is but short) The Pilot angels meet,

And brief me into jrort : And wliciil land on that blest

shore, I shall be safe forevermore.

1 Ro to dark Getbsemane,

V** that fee! the tempter's power, If on r IJi tdeemer's conflict see,

Watrh wiih him one bitter hour ; T\ir<\ not from his <rriefs away, Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.

2 Follow to the judgment hall. View thp Lord of life arrai«rn*d ;

O the Mmnnwood and the pnill ! O the pauir< his soul snstain'd !

Shun not siifferiiis,suanie,oi loss;

Lea/u of hiw to bear the cross.

3 Calvary's mournful mountain

climb ;

There adoring at his feet, Mark that miracle of time,

(iod's own sacrifice ro.nplete: ' li is tinisird,' hear him cry ; Learn of Jesus Christ lo die.

4 Burly hasten to the tomb, VVliere they laid liis breathless clay :

All is solitude and doom, Who hath taken him awav?

17. The Child.

] Qtikt. Lord, my fro ward heart, Make me reachable ami mild,

Uptight, simple, tree iVom art, Make me as a weaned child;

From distrust and envy free,

Fieased with all that pleases thee.

2 Wlial thou shalf to-day provide, Let me as a child receive ;

What to-morrow may betide, C Jmly to thy wisdom leave:

•THs enough that thou wilt rare;

Why should I tiie burden bear 1

3 As a little child relies On a care beyond his own,

Knows lie's neither strong nor arise, Fears to srir a step alone ;

Let me thus with thee abide,

As my Father, guard, and guide.

4 Thus preserved from Satan's wiles, Sate tVoin dai.rers, free from fears, Majr 1 live upon thy smiles. Till 'he promised hour appears,

Ch< is; isri>en: He meets our eyes! When the sons. of God stall prove Savior, teach us so to rise. All tU-ir Father's boundless love.

1 J.:srs, fnl' of all compassion.

Hear thy humble suppliant's cry; Lei me know thy great salvation,

See, 1 (anguish, faint, and die. Guilty, hut with heart relenting,

Overwhelmed with helpless grief — Prostrate at thy feet repenting —

Send, O send me quick relief!

2 Whither should a wretch he fly- ing,

But to him who comfort rives? Wnither, from the dread of dying,

Saved— the deed shall spread new glory

20. Miracle of Grace.

1 Hah.! my ever-blessed Jesus, Only thee, I Wbill to Mim ;

T.» my soul, thy name is precious, Thou my prophet, pnest, and king : O! whai merry flows from heaven,

O! what joy and happiness! Love I Dutch 1 — I've much for- given, I'm a miracle of grace.

2 Once with Adam's race in ruin,

I'nconcern'd in sin I lay ; Swift destruction siiil pursuing,

Till my Savior pass*d that way : Witness, all ye host of heaven!

My Redeemer's tenderness: Love i much 1 — I've much for- given,

I'm a miracle of grace.

3 Shout, ye bright angelic choir. Praise the Lamb, enthroned

above : Whilst astonish'd, I admire God's t'v^e grace and boundless love. That blest moment I received him, Fill'd my soul with joy and peace ; Love I mr h ? — I've much for- given, I'm a miracle of grace.

2 .\r»' \vp no' !**tk1 i hit upward too, As t;ist as tunc can move ?

Noc should v., w i.-h the Jiours more siiuv, To keep us front our love.

3 Why should we tremble to con-

vey Their bodies to the tomb ? There the dear ilesh <>f .Jesus lay, And lo 1 1 a long perfume.

4 The graves of all his saints he

blest,

And s'-tUMi'd every bed ; Where should the dying members rest. But witii their dying Head ?

5 Thence he arose, ascending

h,»h, And show'd our feet the way: Up to the Lord our flesh shall fly, At the great rising day.

6 Then let the last loud trumpet

win nd,

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

22. FAITH.

11 God hath not called us to fear."

J Flar ye, beneath the torturing power

Of stem disease to moan 1 Faith can illume the darkest hour

And hush the deepest groan.

2 Shrink ye from sorrow ? Who can tell With what berrgn intent

3

Into your bosom's secret cell, By heaven's decree 'twas sent?

3 If hatred frown, with fearful

face, Approacli ! its niiuht declare :

lire and its dwelling place Are but the poison'd air.

4 With many a thorn our pilgrim

path Adversity may sow: — Is there no hand to check its wrath, And mitigate its wo ?

5 There's peril even in prosperous

days :—

Heaven can their sway con- trol,— Ere to destructive folly's ways

They lure the cheaied soui.

6 There's fear in death ? No, not

to those, Who reel it break their chain, And bear them high, o'er all their woes, From weeping, change, and pain. H.

23. In riling.

1 On, what amazing words of

grace Are in the j-ospel found ! Suited to every sinner s case. Who knows the joyful sound

2 Come, then, with all your wants

ami wounds. Your every burden bring ; Here love, eternal love abounds, A deep celettial spring,

3 This spring with living water

flows, And living joy imparts ; Come, tlorsty souls, your wants disclose, And drink with thankful heart*.

30. Great Redeemer.

Great Redeemer, friend of sin- ners,

Thou hast wondrous power to save :

Grant me grace, and still protect me, Over life's tempestuous wave.

2 May my soul, with sacred trans-

port, View the dawn while yet afar; And until the sun arises, Lead me by the morning star.

3 Oh, what madness ! oh, what

folly ! That my heart should go astray After vain and foolish trifles — Trifles only of a day.

4 This vain world, with all its

pleasures, Very soon will be no more : There's no object worth admiring, But the God whom we adore.

5 See the hanpy spirits waiting, On the banks beyond the

stream : Sweet responses still repeating, Jesus, Jesus is their theme.

6 Hark ! they whisper ; lo ! they

call me, Sister spirit, come awav : Lo ! I come ; earth can't contain

me, — Hail the realms of endless day.

7 Swiftly roll, ye lingering hours, Seraphs, lend your glittering

wins: ; Love absorbs my ransom'd powers, Heavenly sounds around me ring:

8 Worlds of light and crowns of

glory, Far above yon azure sky ! T hough by faith I now behold

you, I'll enjoy you soon on high.

1 One there is, above all others, Well deserves the name of

friend ; His is love beyond a brother's,

Costly, free, and knows no end : They who once his kindness prove, Find it everlasting love !

2 Which of all our friends, to

save ns. Could or would have shed his blood ? But this Savior died to have us

Reconciled in him to God : It was boundless love to bleed ; J^sus is a friend indeed.

3 When he lived on earth abased '•Friend of sinners," was his

name ; Now, above all glory raised,

He rejoices in the same : Still he calls them brethren,

friends, And to all their wants attends.

4 Oil ! for grace our hearts to

soften : Teach us, Lord, at length to love : We. alas ! forget too often,

What a friend we have above : When to heaven our souls are

brought, We will love thee as we ought.

36. Anthem of Harmony.

1 Otr souls, by love together knit. Cemented, mix'd in one, One hope, one heart, one mind, one voice ; 'Tis heaven on earth begun : Our hearts have often burn'd within. And glow'd with sacred fire, While Jesus spoke, and fed, and blesB'd, And rili'd the enlarged desire.

" A Savior :" let creation sinsr, 11 A Savior !" let the heavens line ; 'Tis God with us, we feel him

ours, His fulness in our souls he pours : 'Tis almost done, 'tis almost o'er ; We'll join with those who've gone

before, We soon shall reach the blissful

shore, Where we shall meet, to part no

more.

2 We're soldiers fighting for our God, Let trembling cowards fly ;

We'll stand unshaken, firm and fix'd,

With Christ to live and die. Let devils rage, and hell assail,

We'll fight our passage through; Let foe's unit'', and friends desert,

We'll seize the crown in view.

Chorus

1 A Savior !" &c.

3 The little cloud increases still, The heavens are big with rain ;

We wait to catch the teeming shower, And all its moisture drain ; A rill, a stream, a torrent flows,

But pour a mighty flood , O sweep the nations, shake the earth, Till all proclaim thee God. Chorus — "A Savior!" &c.

4 And when thou makest thy

je\v»!s up, And set's: thy starry crown, When all thy sparkling gems shall shine, Proclaim'd by thee thine own ; May we. a little hand of love.

We, sinners, saved by grace, From glory unto glory changed, Behold thee face to face

Chorus — " A Savior I" &c.

And " Holy, Holy, Holy," cry, " Almighty Kins ! Who was. and is the same, And evermore shall be : Jehovah — Father — Great I Am ! We worship thee."

11 Before the Savior's face The ransnm'd nations bow:

1 GlUBAT God, what do I see and hear ' The end of things created! The Judge of man I see appear,

On clouds of glory scaled : The trumpet sounds ; the graves restore The dead which they contain'd before : Prepare, my soul, to meet him.

The dead in Christ shall first arise, At the last trumpet's sounding,

Caught up to meet him in the skies, With joy their Lord surrounding

No gloomy fears their souls dismay

His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet him.

3 But sinners, fill'd with guilty fears, Behold his wrath prevailing.

For they shall rise, and find their tears And sighs are unavailing :

The day of ^race is past and gone;

Trembling they stand before the throne, All unprepared to meet him.

4 Great God, what do T see and hear!

The end of things created ! The Judge of man I see appear,

On clouds o( glory seated : Beneath his cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away

And thus prepare to meet him.

39. Trembling Saints.

1 Yot k harps, ye trembling saints, Dow u from the willows take :

Loud to toe praise of love divine] Bid every string awake.

2 Though in a foreign land, We are not far from home ;

And nearer to out house above, We every moment come.

3 His mace will to the end, Stronger and brighter shine ;

Nor present tilings, nor tilings to come, Shall quench the love divine.

4 Fasten'd within the veil, Hope be our anchor strong ;

His loving Spirit the sweet gate, That wafts you smooth along.

5 The people of his choice, He will not cast aw ay ;

Yet do not always here expect, On Tabor's mount to stay.

G When we in darkness walk, Nor feel the heavenly flame,

Then is the time to trust our God, And rest upon his name.

7 Wait till the shadows flee ; Wait thy appointed hour ;

Wait till the bridegroom of thy soul, Reveals his love with power.

8 The time of love will come, Then we shall clearly see

Not. only that he shed his blood, But each shall say, " >or me."

40. Sacrifice.

1 Nor all the blood of beasts, On Jewish altars slain,

Could give the guilty conscience

pence. Or Wash away the stain.

2 But Christ, the heavenly Lamb, Takes all our sins away ;

A sacrifice of nobler name, And richer blood than they.

3 My faith would lay hor hand On that dear head of thine,

While like a penitent I stand, And there confess my sin.

4 Believing, we rejoice To bee the curse remove ;

We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice, And sing his bleeding love.

41. Walking icith God.

1 That we may walk with God, He forms our hearts anew ;

Takes us, "like Ephraim, by the hand, And teaches us to go.

2 He by his Spirit leads,

In paths before unknown ; Tiie work to be perform'd is ours, The strength is all his own.

3 Assisted by his grace, We still pursue our way ;

And hope at last to reach the prize, Secure in endless day.

4 'Tis He that works to will, 'Tis He that works to do ;

His is the power by which we act, His be the glory" too.

Soft as the evening zephj

Soft as the tuneful lyres above.

2 Soft a? the morning dews de-

scend, While the sweet lark exulting

soars ; So soft, .o your Almighty Friend, Be every sigh your bosom pours.

3 Pure as the sun's enlivening ray, That scatters life and joy abroad ; Pure as the lucid car of day, That wide proclaims its Maker,

God.

4 True as the magnet to the pole, So true let your contrition be —

So true let all your sorrows roll, To Him who bled upon the tree.

43. To ichom shall ice go ?

1 Thou only Sovereign of my

2 Whither, ah ! whither shall T

go— A wretched wanderer from my

Lord? Can this dark world of sin and

wo. One glimpse of happiness afford ?

3 Eternal life thy words impart, On these my feinting spirit lives ; Here sweeter comforts cheer my

heart. Than all the round cf nature gives.

4 Let earth's alluring joys com-

bine ; While thou art near, in vain they eall:

One smile, one blissful smile of

thine, My dearest Lord, outweighs them

all.

Thou art my lite, my joy, my care; Depart from thee ; — 'tis death —

'tis more! 'Tis endless ruin ! deep despair !

6 Low at thy feet my soul would lb',

Here safety dwells and peace di- vine ;

Still let me live beneath thine eye,

For life, eternal life, is thine !

44. Peace of conscience.

1 Sweet peace of conscience,

heavenly guest ! Come, fix thy mansion in my

breast ; Dispel my doubts, my fears control, And heal the anguish of my soul.

2 Come, smiling hope, and joy

sincere,

Come, make your constant dwell- ing here ;

Still let your presence cheer my heart,

Nor sin compel you to depart.

3 Thou God of hope, and peace

divine, O, make these sacred pleasures

mine ! Fonrive my sins, my fears remove, And send the tokeus of thy love.

4 Then should mine eyes, with-

out a tear, See death, with all his terrors,

near ; My heart should then in death re-

J Flpst is the pious house-, Where zeal, and friendship meet, Their songs of praise, their min- ded vows .Make their communion sweet.

Where jov like morning dew dis- tils. And all the air is love.

1 0;-r Captain leads us on, Re beckons from the skies,

He reaches out a starry crown, And bids us take the prize.

2 " F»e faithful unfo death, Partake my victory,

Aad thou shall wear this glorious wreath, And thou shalt reign with me."

3.'Tis thus the righteous Lord

To every soldier saith ; Eternal life is the reward

Of all-victorious faith.

4 Who conquer in his might The victor's meed receive ;

They claim a kingdom in his right, Which God shall freely give.

1 Gl?I to the winds thy fears, Hope, and he undismay'd ;

Gpd bears thy sighs, and counts thy tears ; He shall lift up thy head.

2 Through waves, and clouds, and

storms. He gently clears thy way ; Wail thou his time, so shall this

night Soon end in joyous day.

3 Still heavy is thy heart? Still sink thy spirits down 1

Cast off the weight, let fear depart, And every care begone.

4 What though thou rules, nor, Yet heaven, and earth, and hell,

Proclaim God sitteth on the throne, And ruleth all things well.

5 Leave to his sovereign sway To choose and to command :

So shait thou, wondering, own his way How wise, how strong his hand !

G Far, far above thy thought His counsel shall appear.

When fully he the work hath wrought That caused thy needless fear.

7 Thou seest our weakness. Lord, Our hearts are known to thee :

O, lift thou up the sinking hand, Confirm the feeble knee !

8 Let us, in life, in death, Thy steadfast truth declare ;

And publish with our latest breath, Thy love and guardian care.

51. The sufferings of Jesus.

1 All ye that pass by, To Jesus draw nigh ; To you is it nothing that Jesus should die 1 Our ransom and peace, Our surety he is ; Come, see if there ever was sor- row like this.

The Lord, in the day Of his anger, did lay

Our sins on the Lamb, and he bore thf-m away : He dies to atone For sins not his own. The Father hath punish'd for us his dear Son.

3 For sinners, like me, He died on the tree ;

His death is accepted, the sinner is free ;

My pardon I claim,

A sinner 1 am, A sinner believing in Jesus's name.

4 Love moved him to die, On this I rely,

My Savior hath loved me, I can- not tell why ; Rut this I can rind, We two are so join'd, He'll not be in glory, and leave me behind !

5 With joy we approve, The plan of his love ;

A wonder to all, both below and above ! When time is no more, We still shall adore That ocean of love, without bot- tom or shore.

1 O THOU, from whom a!l goodness llows, I lift my soul to ihcc ; In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes, Good Lord, remember me.

Z When on my aching, burdeu'd heart My sins lie heavily. Thy pardon gnBil, new peace impart ; Good Lord, remember me.

3 When Trials sore obstruct my way, And ills I cannot tlee, O let my strength be as my day; Good Lord, remember me.

If, for thy sake, upon my name, Shame and reproach shall be,

All hail reproach, and welcome shame! Good Lord, remember me.

5 When worn with pain, disease, and grief,

This feeble body sec : Grant patience, rest, and kind relief; Good Lord, remember me.

6 When in the solemn hour of death,

I wait thv in*, decree, Be this the prayer of my last breath, Good Lord, remember me.

7 And when before thy throne I stand,

And lift m\ soul to ihee, Then with the saints, at thy right hand, Good Lord, remember me.

53. Pearl of great price.

1 Yk glittering loyi of earth,

adieu : A nobler choice be mine : A real prize attracts my view,

A treasure all divine.

2 Begone, unworthy of my rares, Vt specious baits of sense ;

Inestimable worth appears, The pearl of price immense I

3 Jesus, to multitudes unknown, O name divinely sweet !

Jtsns, in thee, in thee alone, Wealth, honor, pleasure meet

4 Should both the Indies at my

call, Their boasted stores resinn ; With joy I would renounce them all, F ->r leave to call thee mine.

5 Should earth's vain treasures all

depart, Of this dear gift pose I'd clasp it to my joyful heart, And think myself most bless'd.

6 Dear sovereign of my soul's de-

sires, Thy love is bliss divine ; Accept the wish that love inspires, And bid me call thee mine.

54. TJic Downward Road.

1 Sinners, behold that downward

road Which lead* to endless wo ; What multitudes of thoughtless souls The road to ruin go !

2 But yonder see that narrow

way Which leads to endless bliss ;

6

There see a happy chosen few Iledeem'd by sovereign grace.

3 They from destruction's city

came, To Zion upward tend : The bible is their precious guide, And God himself their friend.

4 Lord, I would now a pilgrim

be— Guide thou my feet aright ; I would not (for ten thousand worlds) Be bauish'd from thy sight.

55. Down to the Tomb.

Funeral Hymn for a Sunday Scholar, to be sung by the children.

Written for the Lyre.

1 Down to the tomb our brother

noes, In its cold arms to rest, As, smit by sudden storms, the rose Sinks on the garden's breast.

2 No more with us his tuneful

voice

The hymn of praise shall swell ; No more his gentle heart re- joice,

To hear the Sabbath bell.

3 But if, in yon celestial sphere, Amid the glorious throng,

He warbles to his Maker's ear, The everlasting song

4 No more we'll mourn our bu-

ried friend ; But lift the ardent prayer, And every tnought and effort bend, To rise and join him there.

On wings of love came down, And wept^ and bleu, and died :

What he endured,

Oh, who can tell ?

To save our souls

From death and hell.

2 On lands that lie beneath Foul superstition's sway,

Whose horrid shades of death Admit no heavenly ray,

Their hearts illume ;

Dispel the gloom

With light divine.

And thence his mighty foes In glorious triumph led : l'p through the sky The conqueror rode, And reigns on high, The Savior God.

3 Father, who to thy Son Thy steadfast word hast given,

That through the earth shall run The news of peace with heaven ;

Extend his fame ;

Thy grace diffuse,

And let the news

The world reclaim.

4 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 wo give: The gift, though small, Do thou receive.

4 Few be the years that roll, Ere all shall worship thee ;

The travail of his soul, Soon let the Savior see ; O God of grace ! Thy power employ, Fill earth with joy, And heaven with praise.

Meetly beaming In my face, May the world thine image see.

Fi\ my thoughts on things above,

Stay my heart on thee alone.]

3 Humble, holy, all resign'd,

To thy will, — thy will be done ■ Give me, Lord, the perfect mind, Of thy well beloved Son.

4 Counting gain and glory loss, May I tread the path he trod,

Die with Jesus on tho cravs, Rise with him to thee, my God.

CO. Jf'cary Sinners.

1 Come, ye weary sinners, come, All, who feel your heavy load ;

Jesus calls the wanderers home ; Hasten to your pardoning God.

2 Come, ye guilty souls, opprest, Answer to the Savior's call :

" Come, and 1 will give you rest ; Come, and I will save you all."

3 Jesus, — full of truth and love, We thy kindest call obey,

Faithful let thy mercies prove, Take our load of guilt away :

4 Weary of this war within, Weary of this endless strife,

Weary of ourselves and sin, Weary Dfa wretched life;

r> Burden'dwith a world of grief, Rurden'd with our sinful load,

Burden'd with this unbelief, Burden'd with the wrath of God:

6 Lo, we come to thee for ease, True and gracious as thou art ;

Now our weary souls release, Write forgiveness on our heart

61. Christian Felloicship.

1 Jesus, Lord, we look to thee, Let us in thy name agree ; Show thyself the Prince of Peace Bid our jars for ever cease.

2 By thy reconciling love, Every stumbling- block remove ; Each to each unite, endear ; Come, and spread thy banner here.

3 Make us of one heart and mind, Courteous, pitiful, and kind : Lowly, meek in thought and

word, Altogether like our Lord.

4 Let us for each other cr.re, Each the other's burden bear: To thy church the pattern give; Show how true believers live,

f> Fre<* from an»er and from pride* Let us thus in God abide ; All the depths of love express, All the heights of holiness.

6 Let us then with joy remove To the family above ; On the wings of ausels fly; Show how true believers die.

65. The Great High Priest.

1 Grkat High Priest, we view

thee stooping,

Willi our names upon tliy breast ; In the garden groaning, drooping,

To the ground with sorrow

Weeping angels stood confound- ed. To behold their Maker thai : And can are remafn unwounded, \\*ht*ii are know 'twas all lor us?

2 On the cross thy body broken, Cancels every penal tie ;

Tempted souls produce this token,

All demands to satisfy. All is finished ; do not doubt it,

Hut believe your dying Lord; Never reason more about it,

Only take him at his word.

3 Lord, we fain would trust thee

solely, Twaa fir us thy blood was spilt ; Gracious Savior, take us wholly, Take and make us what thou wilt. Grant us now thy heavenly bless- ing, Let thy love our sonns employ ; Thus we'll rind, thy peace pus- sring, In thy service all our joy.

66. Source of Pleasure.

1 Savior, richest source of plea- sure, Fountain whence our comfort flows,

More to be desired than treasure, Treasure which this world be- ■towi : Dearesl source of consolation,

:'<■ Id the poor di>trr>-'d, Thou canst calm our perturba- tion. Thou canst give the weary rest.

2 Bid the billows, loudly raging, Calmly at thy voice suhside ;

Bid the clouds, that storms pre- saiziiur,

Soon to distant quarters glide. As the evening sun declining,

Sheds around a softer ray, May thy milder radiance shining,

Calmly gild our closing day.

3 As the soul, released from trou-

ble, Views with joy its sorrows past, Views them as an empty bubble

On the billowy ocean cast: Oh : how sweet in retrospection, Pains and sorrows well en- dured ; 'Twas through suffering — sweet reflection, ChrL>t our brightest hopes pro- cured.

4 Let us, then, on him reclining,

For his sake our patience prove ; Sure we oft. without repining,

Suffer much for those we love Soon this path, so dark and dreary,

Shall in fairer scenes expand ; Soon the traveller, faint and weary,

Shall behold the promised land.

Still thou wilt not leave thine own.

1 Ha.il, thou happy morn so glo-

rious ! Come, ye saints, your griefs give o'er : Sins, how Jesus rose victorious, By h's own almighty power :

'Hallelujah, To the glorious Son of God.

2 Tell ns, Seraph.--, ye that wan-

der, When ye saw the Lord arise, When ye saw him soaring yonder, Wnat were then your heavenly joys ? Then 'twas " Glory To the conquering King of kings."

3 Countless bands of angels glo-

rious, Clothed in bright ethereal blue ; Straight the sound of Christ vic- torious, From their silver trumpets flew.

Christ triumphant Rises conqueror o'er the tomb.

3 See, my friends, is that the Sa- vior, Who was erown'd with cruel thorns 1

Glorious majesty and power^ Now his sacred head adorns.

Hallelujah ; That dear head no more shall bleed.

4 Is that he, who died on Calvary, Who was pierced with many a

spear ? Clad with countless suns of glory, See, he rises through the air.

Hallelujah; Ziou's mourner, now rejoice.

5 Was the person, then, so glo-

rious, Which the Jews so marr'd and BpoiTd !

Yes, ye saints, we own his God- head, Though by some he is reviled ;

All crear ion Soon shall own him Lord of all.

6 Tremble, ye who him rejected, Lo ! he hreaks through yonder

cloud ; Rise, ye saints, and shout tri- umphant, Victory ! through Jesus' blood.

Hark ! the trumpet Sounds the resurrection morn.

Thru listen to the plaintive >.>und Ot" a poor sinner's prater.

2 Jesus, thine aid afford, If still the same thou art,

To thee I look, to thee, my Lord! Lift up a helpless heart.

3 Thou seest my troubled breast, The struggles of my will,

The foes that interrupt my rest, The agonies I feel.

4 The daily death I prove, Savior, to thee is known ;

'Tis worse thau death my God to love, And not my God alone.

5 O my offended Lord, Restore my inward peace,

I know thou canst ; pronounce the word. And bid the tempest cease !

6 T lone to see thy face, Thy Spirit I implore,

The living water of thy grace, That I may thirst no more.

72. Looking to God.

1 When shall thy love constrain, And force me to thy breast ?

When shall my soul return again To her eternal rest ?

2 Ah ! what avails my strife, My wandering to and fro ?

Thou hast the words of endless

Ah ! whither should I go ?

3 Thy condescending grace To 'me did freely move ;

It calls me still to seek thy face, And stoops to ask my love.

4 Lord, at thy feet I fall,

\\ noid now obey the call, And give up all for thee.

5 To rescue me from wo,

Thou didst with all things parr ; Didst lead a suffering life below, To gain my worthless heart.

6 My worthless heart to gain, The God of all that breathe

Was found in fashion as a man, And died a cursed dea.h.

7 And can I yet delay, My little all to sive ?

To tear my soul from earth away, My Jesus to receive ?

8 Nay, but I yield, I yield ! I can hold out no more :

I sink by dying love compell'd, And own Thee conqueror !

9 Though late, I all forsake, My friends, my all resign ;

Gracious Redeemer, take, 0 take, And seal me ever thine !

10 Come, and possess me whole, Nor hence again remove :

Settle and fix my wavering soul With all thy weight of love.

11 My one desire be this — Thy only love to know ;

To seek and taste no other bliss, No other good below.

12 My life, my portion thou, Thou all-sufficient art :

My hope, my heavenly treasure, now. Enter and keep my heart.

73. Divine Love.

1 Love divine, all love excelling, Joy of heaven, to earth come

down ! Fix in us thy humble dwelling,

Ail thy faithful mercies crown ; Jesus ! thou art all compassion,

Pure, unbounded love thou art ; Visit us with thy salvation,

Enter every trembling heart.

2 Breathe, O breathe thv loving

Spirir,

Into every troubled breast ! Let us all in thee inherit,

Let us find thy promised rest : Take away the iove of sinning,

Alpha and Omega be, End of faith, as its beginning,

Set our hearts at liberty.

3 Come, almighty to deliver, Let us all thy fife receive !

Suddenly return, and never,

Never more thy temple leave ! Thee we would be always bless- "ing, Serve thee as thine hosts above ; Pray, arid praise thee without ceasing, Glory in thy perfect love.

4 Finish then thy new creation, Happy, holy may we be :

Let us see our whole salvation Perfectly secured by thee 1

Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place ; Till we cast our crowns before thee, Lost in wonder, love and praise.

74. The Penitent.

1 Savior, canst thou love a trai-

tor?

Canst thou love a child of wrath? Can a hell-deserving creature

Be the purchase of thy death? Is thy blood so efficacious,

As to make my nature clean ? Is thy sacrifice so precious,

As to free me from my sin ?

2 Sill on every side surrounds me; No acquittance can I hear;

Pangs of unbelief confound me, Help me, Lord, my grief to bear.

Here, then, is my resolution, At thy dearest feet to fall :

Here I'll meet my condemnation, Or a freedom from my thrall.

3 Now denv thy grace and mercy, If thou canst, to wretched me;

Lay aside thy love and pity, If thou canst, and let me die!

If I meet with condemnation, Justly I deserve the same;

If I meet with free salvation, I will magnify thy name.

Let angels prostrate fall ; Bring forth the royal diadem,

And crown him* Lord of all.

2 Let high-born seraphs tune the lyre, And as they tune it fall Before his face, who tunes their choir, And crown him Lord of all.

3 Crown him, ye morning stars of light,

Who fix'd this floating ball ; Now hail the strength of Israel's misfit, And crown him Lord of all.

4 Crown him, ye martyrs of our God,

Who from his altar call ; Extol the stem of Jesse's rod,

And crown him Lord of ail.

5 Ye chosen seed of Israel's race, Ye ransom'd from the fall ;

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

6 Hail him, ye heirs of David's

line, Whom David, Lord, did call ; The God incarnate ! Alan divine! And crown him Lord of all.

7 Sinners, whose love can ne'er

forcpt The wormwood and the gall : Go, spread your trophies at his

feet. And crown him Lord of all.

8 Let every kindred, every tribe, On this terrestrial ball,

To him all majesty ascribe, And crown him Lord of all.

throng, We at his feet may fall ; We'll join the everlasting song And crown him Lord of all

4 Sweet Ipirit ! attend me, till Jesus shall romp, Protect and defend mo until I'm call'd home ; Though worms my poor body may claim as their prey, Twill outshine when rising, the sun at noonday.

5 The sun shall he darken'd, the moon turn'd to blood, The mountains all melt at the presence of God ;

Kul lightnings may flash, and lo»'d thunders may roar, All this cannot dam*, me on Canaan's hiest shore.

■'.ipsp of b-izht glory surprises my soul, I sink in sweet visions to view the bright goal ; My soul, while I'm - i n ^ i ; i Lr , is leaping to go,

This moment lor heaven I'd leave all below.

I'm going, — I'm going, — I'm going, — I'm gone ! — Oh, gloiy : oh. glory ! — 'tis done, — it is done.

9 To the regions of plory the spirit is fled, And left this poor hody inactive and dead; With angelic armies l<»r ever to

On Jesus s beauties lur ever to gaze.

77. Taking up the Cross'.

1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,

All to leave, and follow thee ; Naked, poor, despised, forsaken,

Thou, from hence, my nil shalt be; Perish every fond ambition,

All I've sought, or hoped, or known, Yet how rich is my condition,

God and heaven are still my own !

2 Let the world despise and leave me;

Tiiey have left my Savior too; Human hearts and looks deceive me —

Thou art not, like them, untrue; And whilst thou shalt smile upon me,

God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends disown me ;

Show thy tace, and all is bright, 8*

Hymn continued

3 Go, then, earthly fame and treasure,

Come, disaster, scorn, and pain, In thy service pain k pleasure,

With thy favor k)ss is gain. I have calTd thee Abba, Father,

I have set my heart on thee; Storms may how], and clouds may gather,

All must work for good to me.

4 Man may trouble and distress me,

'Twill but drive me to thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me,

Heaven vsill bring me sweeter rest. Oh ! 'tis not in grief to harm me,

While thy love is left -to me ; * Oh ! 'twere not in joy to charm me,

Were that joy unmix'd with thee.

5 Soul, then know thy full salvation ;

Rise o'er sin, and fear, and caie; Joy to find, in every station,

Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee ;

Think what Father's smiles are thine; Think that Jesus died to win thee ;

Child of heaven, canst thou repine ?

6 Haste thee on from grace to glory,

Ann'd by faith, and wing'd by prayer, Heaven's eternal days before thee,

God's own hand shall ejnMe x!.»ie there. Soon shall close thy eanhlv mission,

Soon shaii pass thy pilgrim days, Hope shall change to glad fruition,

Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

78. The Eden of Love.

WRITTEN BY W. C. TILI.OU.

1 How sweet to reflect on the se joys that await me,

Ii: yon blissful region, the haven of rest, Where glorified spirits with welcome shall greet me,

And lead me to mansions prepared for the blest; Encircled in light, and with glory enshrouded, My happiness perfect, my mind's sky unclouded, I'll bathe in the ocean of pleasure unbounded,

And range with delight through the Eden of Love.

2 While angelic legions, with harps tuned celestial,

Harmoniously join in the concert of praise, The saints, as they flock from the regions terrestrial,

In loud hallelujahs their voices will raise : Then songs to the Lamb shall re-echo through heaven, My soul will respond, To Immanuel be given All glory, all honor, all might and dominion,

Who brought us through grace to the Eden of Love.

3 Then hail, blessed state ! Hail, ye songsters of glory I

Ye harpers of bliss, soon I'll meet you above ! And join your full choir in rehearsing the story,

11 Salvation from sorrow, through Jesus's love :" Though 'prison'd in earth, yet by anticipation, Already my soul feels a sweet prelibation, Of joys that await me, when freed from probation :

My heart's now in Heaven, the Eden of Love.

84. Tta Namt of Jesus.

1 Jesus, the Name high over all, In hell, or earth, or sky !

Angels and men before it fall, And devils tear and tly.

2 Jesns. the Name to sinners dear, The Name to sinners given !

It scatters all their g'lilt ami fear ; It turns their he!', to heaven.

3 Jesus the prisoner's fetters

breaks, And bruises Satan's head ; Power into strengthless souls it speaks. And life into the dead.

4 O that the world might taste

and see The riches of his grace ; The arms of love that compass

me. Would all mankind embrace.

5 His only righteousness I show, His saving truth proclaim :

'Tis all my business here below, To cry, il Behold the Lamb:"

6 Happy, if with my latest breath I may but gasp Mis Name !

Preach him to all, and cry in death, "Behold, behold the Lamb!"

85. Zions Prosperity.

1 Shine, mighty God, on Zion

shine, With beams of heavenly grace ; Reveal thy power through all our coasts, And show thy smiling face.

2 When shall thy name, from

shore to shore, Sound all the earth abroad : And distant nations know and

love Their Savior and their God ?

3 Sing to the Lord, ye distant

lands. Sins loud with solemn voice ; Let every tongue Hall his praise,

And every heait rejoice.

4 Earth shall obey his high com-

mand. And vied a full increase : Our God wiil ciown his chosen land With fruitfulness and peace.

5 God, the Redeemer, scatters

round

Lis choicest favors here, While the creation's utmost • bound

ShaJl see, adore, and fear.

To sound the depths of love divine ! 'Tis mercy all ! let earth adore : Let angel-minds inquire no more.

3 He left his Father's throne above ;

(So free, so infinite his crace !) Emptied himself of all but love,

And bled for Adam's helpless race : 'Tis mercy all. immense and free, For, O my God, it found out me !

4 Lone my imprison'd spirit lay,

Fast bound in si:i and nature's niuht: Thine eye diffused a quickening ray : I woke ; the dungeon flamed with light ! nin< fell off, my heart was free, . went forth, and foliow'd thee.

5 No condemnation now I drpad,

Bold I approach the eternal throne,

And clumi the crown, through Cnrist, my own.

87. Thought on Death.

1 And am T only born to die 1 And must I suddenly comply

With nature's stern decree? What after death for me remains 1 Celestial joys, or hellish pains,

To all eternity •

4 No matter which my thoughts

employ , A moment's misery or joy ;

But oh ! when both shall end, Where shall I find my destined

place ? Shnll I my everlasting days With fiends, or angels, spend 1

2 How then ought I on earth to

live. While God prolongs the kind re- prieve, And props the house of clay: My sole concern, my single care, To watch and tremble, and pre- pare Against that fatal day !

5 Nothing is worth a thought be- neath, But how I may escape the death

That never, never dies ! How make my own election

sure ; And when I fail on earth, se- cure A mansion in the skies.

3 Xo room for mirth or trifling

here, For worldly hope or worldly fear,

If life so soon is gone : If now the judge is at the door, And all mankind must stand be- fore The inexorable throne !

6 Jesus, vouchsafe a pitying ray, Es thou my guide, be thou, my way To glorious happinpss ! Ah ! write the pardon on my

heart .' And whensoe'er I hence depart, Let me depart in peace !

O Son of Man, I fly ! Be my refuge and my rest,

3 In the time of my 6 Thou hast my succor been,

In my utter helplessness Restraining me from sin ;

O how swiftly didst thou move To save me in the trying hour !

Still protect me with thy love, And shield me with thy power.

4 First and last in me perform

The work thou hast begun : Be my shelter from the storm,

My shadow from the sun : Weary, parcli'd with thirst, and faint,

Till thou the abiding Spirit breathe. Every moment, Lord, I want

The merit of thy death.

0 Never shall T want it lesg, Wbpn thou the sift hast given,

Fill'd me with thy righteousness, And seal'd the heir of heaven ;

1 shall hang upon my God, Till I thy perfect glory see ;

Till the sprinkling of thy blood Shall speak me up to thee.

Hymns continued.

Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God;

He, to save my soul from danger, Interposed his precious blood.

3 O ! to grace, how great a debtor,

Daily I'm constraint to be '. Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,

Bind my wandering heart to thee ! Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,

Prone to leave the God I love — Here's my heart, O ! take and seal it ;

Seal it from thy courts above.

90. Christian Comfort.

1 Tempted, tossed, troubled spi-

rit, Dost thou groan beneath thy load? Fearing thou shalt not inherit In the kingdom of thy God 1 "View thy Savior oti the mountain,

In temptation's painful hour ; Though of grace himself the foun- tain, And the Lord of boundless power.

2 Do thy blooming prospects Ian

guish ? Say'st thou still. " I'm not his child?" View thy Savior's dreadful an- guish, Famish'd in the gloomy wild. Not a step in all thy journey, Through this gloomy vale of tears, But thy Lord hath trod before thee, And thy way to glory clears.

3 Though through seas of tribu-

lation Jesus calis thee here to go, He hath wrought thy great salva- tion In far deeper seas of wo. Jesus, though by God anointed,

Christ, the co-eternal Son, As by love divine appointed, Treads the wine-prgss all alone.

4 Sinks thy soul in waves of sor-

row ? Pass o'er Kedron's rolling flood Witness there the doleful horror

Of the suffering Son of God. There the victim groaning, weep- ing, Bears the wrath of God alone, While his senseless followers sleeping, Scarce regard a single groan.

5 On the chilly ground extended, Lo, he takes the bitter cup !

With Almighty vengeance blend- ed, Drinks the dreadful contents up; Now the avenging sword pursues him Up to Calvavy's rugged brow : There the wrath of God doth bruise him, But my soul escapes the blow.

6 Glory, honor, power, and bless-

ing, Be unto the Father given : Sin? his praises without ceasing, Sons of earth, and hosts of heaven. Glory be to Christ the Savior, Who hath bought us with his blood ; Glory to the blessed "Spirit, Glory to the mighty God.

For the heaven of heavens is love.

4 Who on earth can conceive How happy we live

In the palace of God the great King! What a concert of praise, When our Jesus's grace, The whole heavenly company sing !

5 What a rapturous sons, When the glorified throng

In the spirit of harmony join; Join all the glad choirs, Hearts, voices, aud lyres,

And the burden is mercy divine.

Whom no man can comfort, whom no man can save; With darkness surrounder1 by terrors dismay'd, In toiling and rowing thy strength is decay'd.

His wisdom conducts thee, his power thee defends, In safety and quiet thy warfare he ends.

Yet all are most needful, not one is in vain.

2 Him though highest heaven re-

ceives, Still he loves the earth he leaves; Though returning to his thrctie,

Sfi:i he calls mankind his own : Still for us he intercedes, Prevalent his death he pleads ; Next himself prepares a place, Harbinger of human race.

3 Master, imay we ever say,) Taken from the world away, See thy faithful servants, see, Ever gazing up to thee: Grant, though parted from our

sight, H'urh above yon azure height, — Grant our souls may thither rise — Following thee beyond the skies.

4 Ever upward let us move, Wafted on the wings of love ; Looking when our Lord shall

come— Looking for a happier home : There we shall with thee re- main, Pnrrners of thy endless reign ; Then thy face unclouded jee — Find a heaven of heavtns in thee.

1 Sintk I've known I Snvior's

name,

And sin's strong tetters broke, Careful without rare I am,

Nor feel my easy yoke ; Joyful now my faith to show,

I fi'id his service my reward ; All the work I do below

Is light, for such a Lord.

2 To the desert or the cell, Let others blindly rly,

In this evil world I dwell,

Xor fear its enmity : Here I find an house of prayer,

To which I inwardly retire; Walking unconcern' d in care,

And unconsumed in fire.

3 O that all the world might know Of living, Lord, to thee.

Find their heaven begun below, And here thy poodueas see :

Walk in all the works prepared By thee to exercise their grace,

Ti!J they gain tfieir full reward, And see thee lace to face.

98. Saved by Grace.

1 Let the world their virtue boast,

Their works of righteousness ! I, a wretch undone and lost,

Am freely saved by grace ; Other title I disclaim ;

This, only this, is all my plea : I the chief of sinners am,

But Jesus died for iue.

2 Happy they whose joys abound, Like Jordan's swelling stream : Mir heaven in Christ have found, And -ive tlm praise to him ; Meanest follower of the Lamb, Jlis steps I at a distance see ' I the chief of sinners am, But Je?us died for me.

3 I, like Gideon's fleece am found,

Unwater'd still and dry; While the dew on all around,

Falls plenteous from the skv ; Yet my Lord I cannot b ame,

The Savior's grace for all is free : I the chief of sinners am,

But Jesus died for me

4 Surely he will lift me up,

For I of hirti have need ; I cannot give up my hope,

Tnough I am cold and dead ; To bring fire on earth he came ;

O that it now might kindled be I I the chief of sinnera am,

But Jesus died for me.

5 Jesus, thou for me hast died,

And thou i ri me wilt live ; I shall feel thy death appiied

I shall thy life receive : Yet when melted in the flame

Of love, this shall be all my plea, — I the chief of sinners am,

But Jesus died for me.

1 Wire* languor and disease in-

vade This trembling house of clay, 'Tis sweet to look beyond my

pains, And long to fly away.

2 Bweel to lonk inward, and attend The whispers of his love :

Sweet to look upward, to the place Where Jesus pleads above.

3 Sweet to look back, and see my

name In life's lair book set down ; Sweet to look forward, and behold Eternal joys my own.

4 Sweet lo reflect how urace divine My sins on .Jesus laid ;

Sweet to remember that his blood My debt of suffering paid.

5 Sweet in his righteousness to

stand. Which saves from second death ; Sweet to experience, day by day, 11 is Spirit's quickening breath.

6 Sweet on his faithfulness to rest, Whose love can never end ;

Sweet on his covenant of grace, For all things to depend.

7 Sweet in the confidence of faith, To trust his firm decreet! ;

Sweet to lie passive in his hands, And know no wiil but his.

8 If such the sweetness of the

streams, What mu&i the fountain be,

Where saints and angels draw their b'Lss Immediately from thee !

93. A Litcly Hope.

1 Swekt to rejoice in lively hope That when my change shall

come, Angels will hover round my bed, And waft my spit it home.

2 There shall my disembodied

soul View Jesus and adore ; Be with his likeness satisfied, And grieve and sin no more.

3 Shall see him wear that very

flesh On which-my guilt was lain ; His love intense, his merit fresh, As though but newly slain.

4 Soon too my slumbering dust

shall hear The t rum pet's quickening sound, And by my Savior's power rebuilt, At his right hand be found.

5 If such the views which grace

unfolds, Weak as it is below ; What raptures must the church

above In Jesus' presence know!

6 O may the unction of the?e

truths, For H\er with me stay ; Till from her sinful cage dis- missal, My spirit tlies away.

past ; Live tins day, as if 'twere thy 'ast : To improve ihy lalentp take due care ; 'Gainst tiie great duy th> sell prepare.

3 Let all thy converse be sincere. Thy conscience as the noonday clear: Think how the all-seeing God, thy

ways And all thy secret thoughts surveys.

4 Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart, And wiih the angels bear thy part ; Who all night long unwearied aiug, Gloiy to thee, eternal King.

5 I wake, T wake, ye heavenly choir ; May your devotion me inspire : That 1 like you my age may spend, Like you may on my God attend.

6 May I like you in God delight, Have all day long my God in sight-, Perform like you my Maker's will :

0 ! may I never more do ill.

7 Glory to thee, who safe hast kept, And hast refiesh'd me while I slept : Grant, Lord, when I from death shad

wake,

1 may of endless life partake.

8 Lord, I my vow? to thee renew ; Scatter my sins as morning d\ Guard my first spring of thought and

will, And witii thyself my spirit fill.

4 A deeper shade shall soon impend, A deeper sleep mine eyes oppress; Yet then thy strength shall still defwnd, Thy goodness still delight to bless.

5 That deeper shade shall break away, That deeper sleep shall leave mine

eyes; Thy light 6hall give eternal day— Thy love, the rapture of tiie skies '

1 Great God! to thee my evening

Snug

With humMe gratitude I raise: C) \>i thy merry tune my tongue, And fill my heart with lively praise.

2 My days unclouded as they pass, And every onward rolling hour. Are monuments of wondrous grace, And witness to ihy love and power.

3 And yet this thoughtless, wretched

heart, Too ofi regardless of thy love, Unatare/ul, can from ihee depart. And ftom the path of duty rove.

4 S>al my forgiveness in the blood Of Christ, my Lord . his name alone 1 plead for pardon, gracious God, And kind acceptance at thy throne.

5 With hope in him mine eyelids

close. With sleep refresh my feeble frame ; Safe in thy care may I repose ^ And wake with piaises to thy Narao

104. Night.

1 When restless on my b^d T lie. Still courting sleep, which still will

fly. Then shall reflection's brighter power Illume the lone and midiught hour.

2 If huslfd the breeze, and calm the

tide. Soft will the stream of memory glide, A nd all the past, a gentle train, Waked by remembrauce, live again.

3 If loud the wind, the tempest

And darkness wraps the sullen sky, I muse on life's tempestuous sea. And sigh, O Lord, to come to thee.

4 Toss'd on the deep and swelling

wave, O mark my trembling soul, and save ! C've to my view that harbor near. Where thou wilt cha*e each ghat

and ftvar !

1 How pleasant 'tis to see Kindred ind frieuds agree ;

in his proper station move, And each fulfil his part, With sympathizing heart, In all the cares of life and love!

2 'Tis like the ointment shed On Aaron's sacred head,

Divinely rich, divi lely sweet: The oil through all the room Diffused a choice perfume,

Ran throusrh his rubes, end blest his feet.

3 Like frni'fn! shower? of rain, That water all the plain,

Descending from the neighboring

hills :

Si tIi streams of pl< asure ro'l

Through every friendly soul,

Where love like heavenly dew

distils.

106. Public Worship.

] How plra^pd and blest was I,

To hear the people cry, "Come, let us seek our God to- day :" Yes. with a chr-prful zeal, We'll haste to Zion's hill, And there our vows and honors pay.

11*

2 Zion, thrice happy place,

Adorn'd wkh wondrous grace,

And walls of strength embrace thee round ! In thee our turn's appear, To pray, and praise, and hear

The sacred gospel's joyful sound

3 There David's greater Son Has rix'd his royal throne; He >its lor grace and judgment there : He bids the saint be glad, He makes the sinner sad, And humble souls rejoice with fear.

4 May peace attend thy sate, And joy w illlin thee wait,

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

A thousand blessings on him rest !

5 My tonsrue repeats her vows, '• Peace to this sacred house !

For here my friends and kindied dwell':" And since my glorious God Makes thee his blest abode,

My soul shall ever love thee well.

Offering free salva'.ion. Here may the poor, the lame, the blind, Every needed blessing find : Justice and mercy here combine,

Offering free salvation.

2 Sinners, repair to Jesus' arms,

Why will you slight his favor ? Now he invites you to his charms,

Willing to be your Savior. O that you would on him believe, All your transgressions he'll forgive; Comfort and peace shall you receive,

Flowing from Christ for ever.

3 Now i.i the time, no more delay,

Fly from the path of nature ; Fear not what scoffing sinners say ;

Yield to your great Creator. So shall your dying souls obtain Freedom from all your guilt and pain \ So shall you soon in glory reign,

Praising your great Creator.

4 Then shall the heavenly arches ring—

M Glory to God our Savior!" Angels and saints shall join to sing

Praises for all his favor. Then shall the theme of perfect love, Sounding through all the courts above, Every tuneful passion move,

Praising the Lord for ever.

1 How firm a foundation, ye mint! of the Lord, Is laid lor your faith in his excellent word; What more ran he say thai) to you he hath said? You, w ho unto Jesus, h»r refuge have fled.

2 In every condition — in sickness, in health, In poverty's \ale, or abounding ill wealth,

At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea, As thy days may demand, so thy succor shall be.

3 M Fear not, I am with thee ; O he not dismnvM ! For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid ;

I'll strengthen thpe, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent band.

4 " When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of sorrow shall not thee o'erflow ;

For I will he with thee, thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.

5 "When through firry trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace all-sufficient shall be thy supply ;

The flame shall not hurt thee; 1 only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.

6 " E'en down to old age, all my people shall prove My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;

Aixl then, when grey hairs shall their temples adorn, Like Jambs they shall still in my bosom be borne.

7 "The soul that on Jesus hath lean'd for repose, I will not, I cannot desert to his foes;

That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never — no, never — no, never forsake !"

2 See the rocks and mountains

snaking, Earth unto her centre quaking,

Nature'sjiroans awake ilinli -ad ; Look on Phoebus, struck with

wonder, While the peals of legal thunder

Smite the blest Redeemer's head :

3 Heaven's bright melodious le- gions, Chanting to the tuneful region.*, Cease to trill the quivering string : Songs seraphic all suspended, Till the mighty war is ended By the all- victorious King :

4 Hell, and all the powers infer-

nal, Vanquish'd by the Kins Pternal,

When he pour'd the vital flood ! By his groans, which shook crea- tion, Lo ! we lound the proclamation, 'Peace and pardon through his blood.'

5 Shout, ye saints, with admira-

tion ; Fill with songs the wide creation,

Since he's risen from the grave: Shout with joy and acclamation, To the rock of your salvation,

Who alone hath power to save.

G Rear with patience tribulation, Overcoming all temptation,

"fill the glorious jubilee ; Soon he'll come, with bursts of

thunder, Then shall we adore and wonder,

Singing on the highest key.

7 See the blissful scene before us ; Join the universal chorus;

Bid the flowing numbers rise ! Songs immortal sweetly *ou tiding.

Notes angelic loud rebounding, Trembling round the vocal skies.

1 Show pity, L«>rH, O I,ord, forgive, Let a reptNHMM rebel live ;

A rr no! lliy nierCMSi larffl :ui(i Tree 7 May nol a sinner trust in thee ?

2 My crimes are great, but don't sur-

pass The power and glory of thy grace; Great God, thy nature hath no bound, So let thy paidoning love be found.

3 Oh, wash my 60ul I'rom every sin, And make my guilty conscience

clean ; Here on my heart the burden lies, And past oifences pam my eyes.

4 My lips with shame my sins con-

fe?s!,

Against thy law, against thy grace ; Lord, should thy judgments grow se- vere, I am coudemn'd, but thou art clear.

5 Should sudden vengeance seize my

breath, I must pronounce thee just in depth; And if my soul were sent to hell, Thy righteous law approves it well.

C Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord, \\ hose hone, still hovering round thy

word, Would light on some sweet promise

there, Some sure support against despair.

4 Father of mercy, drop thy frown, A'. I give me shelter in thy Son ; And with my broken heart comply, O give me Jesus, or 1 uie.

5 O Lord, deny me what fhou wilt. If thou wilt eat-e me of my uuilt ; GixhI Lord, in mercy hear me cry,

0 have me, Jesus, or 1 die.

112. A Dying Savior

1 Slrctch'd on the cross, the Savior

dies, Hark! his expiring groans arise : See, from his hands, his feet, his side, Runs down the sacred crimson tide.

2 Put life attends thedeathful sound, And ilows from every bleeding

wound ; The vita! stream, how free it flows, To save and cleanse his rebel foes.

3 Can I survey this scene of wo, Where mingling griel" and wonder

How, And yet my heart unmoved remain, Insensible to love or pain 1

4 Come, dearest Lord, thy grace im-

part, To warm this cold, this stupid heart! Till all its powers and pnssions move In melting grief, and ardent love.

113. Frailty of Man.

111. Mourning for Sin

1 Oh ! give me,

mourn. My sins winch have thy body torn ; Give me, with broken heart to see Thy last tremendous agony.

2 Oh, could I gain the mountain's

height, And gaze upnn the wondro'is s;ght : O that with Salem's ilauL'iiters, I Could stand and see my Savior die.

3 I'd hang around his feet and cry, Lord, save a soul condemn'd tw die ; Aud let a wretch come near thy

throne, To plead the merit* of thy Son.

12

1 Almighty Maker of my frame, Teach me the measure of my days! Teach me to Know how frail 1 am, Lord, my sins to And spend the remnant to thy praise.

2 My day9 are shorter than a span, A little point my life appears ; How frail at best is dyins man ' How vain are all his hopes and fears,

3 Vain his ambition, noise and show ! Vain are the cares which rack his

mind ! He heaps up treasures mix'd with wo. And dies and leaves them all behind.

4 Oh, be a nobler portion mine ; My God, 1 bow before thy throne, Earth's fleeting treasures I resign, And fix my hopes on thee alone-

116. Rejoicing and Praise.

1 Read of the church triumphant, We joyfully adore thee ;

Till thmi appear, thy members here Shall sin? like those in glory: We liri our hearts and voices With t^t-st anticipation,

And cry aloud, and give to God The praise of our salvation.

Wnile in affliction's furnace, AikI passing through the tire,

Thy love we praise, \\ Inch knows no days, And ever brings u« nicher: We clap our hands exulting In thine almighty favor ;

The love divine, which made us thine, Can keep us thine for ever.

12*

3 Thou dost conduct thy people Through torrent* of temptation,

Nor will we .'ear, while thou a»t near, The tire of tribulation ; The world, wi h sin and Satan, In vain our march opposes ;

By thee we shall break through Hum all, And sing tue song of Moses.

4 fly faith we see the glory, To which thou shall restore us ;

The cro~s despise, lor that high prize, Which thou hast set before us; And if thou count us worthy, We each, as dying Stephen,

Shall see thee staud at God'i right hand, To take us up to heaven.

117. Come, ye Sinners. 1 Comb, ye sinners, poor and

Weak and wounded, sick and

sort-, Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of pity, love.

I able, He is willing, doubt no more.

2 Now, yp ii<m .!y. rorae and wel- come. God's tree bounty glorify; True belief and true refinance, Every grace that brings you ni2h. Without mon^y Come to Je^us Christ and buy.

3 Let not conscience make you _■

: y dream , All the fitness he requireth Is to fed your n^ed of him ;

This lie uiv' s you, 'Tis the Spirit's rising beam.

4 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden, Bruised" and mangled bv the fall, If you tarry till you're better, You will berer come at al! ;

Not the righteous, Sinners. Jesus came to call.

5 Agonizing in the garden,

Lo : your Maker prostrate lies !

On the bloody tree behold liim ! Hear him try before he di^,

M It is finbh'd :" Sinners, will not this suffice ?

G Lo : the incarnate God ascend* tog,

Fiends the merit of his blood; \ ire on him, venture freely; Let do other trust intrude:

but Jesu3 Can do helpless sinners good.

7 Saints and angels join'd in con- cert, Sins the praises of the Lamb,

•:ie Wistful s<ats of heaven Sweetly echo with hid name:

Hallelujah ! Sinners here may sing the same.

IIS. Idolatry Falling.

1 S:e. how many lately bowing

To their idols, wood and stone,

blessed change avowing,

Bow be ore ibe Savior's throne,

And with gladness Praise the Savior's name alone.

2 This is cause of joy and won- der, God has set the captives free, He has burst their bond* asunder, Happy they and glorious he ,

. . jor! Who can be compared to thee ?

3 When thou workest, who shall stay thee ? Who /hall stay tlie work be- gun ? Lord, go on, thy people pray thee, Till the glorious day is won ;

And the propel Takes i^s circuit like Jie sun.

119. Pressing Forward.

1 Come, let us arise, And aim at the prize, The hope of our calling, on this side the skies.

2 By works let us show, That Jesus we know, While steadily on to perfection we go.

4 Then lot us not s*op, But continue in hope,

Rejoicing, till all ia his linage wake up.

5 His purity share, His character bear,

And the truth of his hallowing promise declare.

6 Thus, thus let us stay, And wait 'or the day

When the angels are sent to con- duct 14s away :

3 We rest on his word, 7 When with joy we remove,

We shall be restored To our brethren above,

To his linage, the servant shall be And ily up to heaven in a chariot

as his Lord of love.

120. Guidance through Life.

1 Thoit who didst for Peter's

faith Kindly condescend to pray, Thou, who&e loving kindness

hnth Kept me to the present day,

Kind Conductor, Still direct my devious way !

2 When a tempting wor'il in view (Jams upon my \ ii-hli im heart, Wlien its plea.-nres I |iursue, Then one look of pity dait,

Teach ine pleasures, Wliich tlie world can ne'er im- part.

3 When with horrid thoughts pro-

fane, Satan would my soul invade, When he calls religion vain, Mighty Victor ! he my aid !

Send the Spirit, Bid me conflict undismay'd.

4 When my unbelieving fear Makes me think myself too vile, When the legal curse I hear, Cheer me with a gospel smile,

Or if hiding, Hide thee only tor a while.

5 When I sit beneath thy word, At tliy table cold and dead, When I cannot see my l.oid, All my little day-light rled,

Sun of glory, Beam again around my head.

6 When thy statutes I forsake, When my traces dimly shine, When the covenant I break, Jesus, then remember thine '

Check my wanderings By a look of love divine.

7 Then, if heavenly dews distil, If my hopes are bright and clear, While I sit on Zinn's hill, Temper joy with holy fear;

Keep me watchful. Safe alone when thou art near.

8 When afflictions cloud my sky, When the tide of sorrow Mows, When thy rod is lifted high,

Let me on thy love repose;

Stay i by rough wind, When thy chilling eastern blows.

12l« Support in Death.

1 When the vale of death ap-

pears, (Faint and cold this mortal clay,) Kind Forerunner, sooth my tears, Light me through the darksome

way : Break the shadows, Usher in eternal day.

2 Starting from this dying state, Upward bid my soul aspire, Open thou the crystal gate,

To thy praise attune my lyre:

Dwell tor ever, Dwell ou each immortal wire.

3 From the sparkling turrets there, O t I'll trace my pilgrim way, Often bless thy guardian care,

Fire by night, and cloud by day,

While my triumphs At my Leader's feet I lay.

4 And when mighty trumpet*

blown, Shall the judgment dawn pro- claim, From the central burning throne, 'Mid creation's final flame, With the ransotn'd,

Judge and Savior, own niy name !

122. Come aicay.

1 Com away to the skies, My beloved, arise,

And rejoice in the day thou wast born :

On this festival day,

Come exulting away, And with siugiug to Zion return.

2 We have laid up our love, And our treasure above,

Though our bodies continue be- low :

The redeemed of our Lord,

We remember his word, And with singing to paradise go.

3 With sincir.2 we praise 1 Ye people away, The original grace, Nor talk of delay ,

By our heavenly Father bestow'd; The time for exertion is come; Our being receive The summons is given,

From his bounty, and live The Lord calls from heaven:

To the honor and glory of God. Let no man now tarry at home.

Hallelujah, we sing,

To onr Father and King, And his rapturous praises repeat:

To the Laud) that was slain,

Hallelujah, again, Sing all heaven, and fall at his f( el :

P f n :i ;su ance of hope, We to Jesus look UD, Till lu> banner unfurPd in the air From our graves we shall see, And cry out, " It is he !" And fly up to acknowledge him there.

123. IhlptotheLord.

4 For thy glory we are, Created to share

Both the nature and kingdom di- vine :

Created again,

That our souls may remain In time and eternity thine.

5 With thanks we approve The design of thy love,

Which hath join'd lis in Jesus's name ; So united in heart, That we never can part, Till we meet at the feast of the Lamb.

6 There, there at his feet, W< shall suddenly meet,

And be parted in body no more! We shall sing to our lyres, With the heavenly choirs,

And our Savior in glory adore.

2 The Lord in his might Is gone to the furht. ;

And if we should shrink from the

toii, Tie.- day will be won, The work will be done And others will gathe: the spoil.

3 And should we decline, His standard to join ;

Our slackness will meet its re- ward,

A wo they will find,

"Who tarry behind, Nor go to the help of the Lord.

4 Then cast off delay,

ik To arms," and away; To arms — 'tis the Lord gives the word :

With sword and with shield,

Away to the field ; 11 Away to the help of the Lord."

148 SAVE, LORD, OR WE PERISH.

2 How blest is our brother, bereft Of all that could burden his mind, How easy the soul that lias left Tliis wearisome body behind ! Of evil incapable thou, Whose relics with envy I see, No longer in misery now.

No longer a sinner like me.

3 This earth is affected no more With sickness, nor shaken with

pain ; The war in the members is o'er, And never shall vex him again : No anger, henceforward, nor

shame, Shall redden this innocent clay: Extinct is the animal flame, And passion is vanish'd away.

4 This languishing head is at rest, Its thinking and aching are o'er ; This quiet, immoveable breast

Is heaved by affliction no more : This heart is no longer the seat Of trouble and torturing pain ;

Tt ceases to flutter and beat, It never shall flutter again.

5 The lids lie so seldom could

close,

By sorrow forbidden to sleep,

N ' a aid in their mortal repose,

Have strangely forgotten to weep!

These fountains can yield no sup- plies :

These hollows from water are free :

The tears are all wiped from these eyes,

And evil they never shall see.

6 To mourn and to suffer is mine, While bound in a prison I

breathe,

And still for deliverance I pine,

And press to the issues of death ;

What now with my tears I be- dew, p

O might I this moment become!

My spirit created anew,

My flesh be consign'd to the tomb,

1 TnRo' all the changing scenes of life,

In trouble atH in joy, TIih praises of my Und shall still

My lit-art and tongue employ.

-' Of his deliverance I will boast, Till all who are d is t rest

From my example comfort take, Ami charm their griefs to rest.

3 The hos's of God encamp

around The dwellings of the jusr : Deliverance he affords to all, Who on his succor trust.

4 C mak but trial of his love, — Experience will decide

How blest they are, and only they, Who in his truth confide.

5 Fear him, ye saints ; and you

will then

Have nothing else to fear: Make vo his service vour de- light—

Le'll make your wants his care.

130. O'er mountain tops.

1 O'er mountain tops the mount of God

In latter days shall rise,

Above the summits of the hills, And draw the w mderiug eyes.

2 To this the joyful i ntions round, All tribes and tong.jes shall

flow; Up to ihe mount of God, they'll say, And to his house we'll go.

3 The beams that shine from

/ion's hill, Shall lighten every 'and ; The King who reigns in Salem>

towers, Shall all the world command.

4 Anions »he nati.ms he shall

j n dre, His judgments truth shall guide, His >cepne shall protect the just, And crush the sinner's pride.

5 For peaceful implements shall

men Exchange their swords and

spears ; Nor shall they study war again Throughout those happy years.

6 Come, O ye house of Jacob .

2 Thy strength and thy power,

Through Jesus's name: For thou art still by me,

And holdest my hand ; No ill can come nigh me,

By faith while I stand.

1 Come, ye disconsolate, where'er you languish,

Come, at the mercy-seat fervently kneel : Here bring your wounded hearts, — here tell your anguish. Earth hath no Borrow that Heaven cannot heal.

2 Joy of the desolate, f:ght of the straying,

Hope, when all others die, fadeless and pure; Here speaks the Comforter, in mercy saying,

"Earth hath no sorrow that Heaven cauuut cure."

13G. The Dawn of Day.

1 Father of mercies, when the day is dawning, Then will I pay my vows to thee; Like incense wafted on the breath of morning, My heartfelt praise to thee shall be.

S Yes — thou art near me, sleeping or waking, Still doth thy love unchanged remain; Where'er I wander, thy ways forsaking, O lead me gently back again.

138. Christmas Hymn.

1 Come, thou long expected Je-

sus, Born to set thy people free ; From our fears and sins release us, Let us find our re?t in thee. Israel's strength and consolation, Hope of all the earth thou art ; Dear desire i#f every narion, Joy of every longing heart.

2 Born thy people to deliver ; Born a child, and yet a King ;

Born to reign in us for ever, Now thy gracious kingdom brins.

By thine own eternal Spirit, rule in all our hearts alone ;

By thine all sufficient merit, Raise us to thy glorious throne.

Jb9. Universal Praise.

1 Praise to God, the great Crea

tor,

Bounteous source of all our joy

He whose hand upholds all na

ture,

He whose nod can all destroy-

Saints, with pious zeal attending, Now the grateful tribute raise;

Solemn songs to heaven ascend- ing, Join the universal praise.

2 Round his awful footstool kneeling,

Lowly bend with contrite souls; Here, his milder grace revealing,

Here, his wrath no thunder rolls : Lo. the eternal page before us,

Bears the covenant of his love; Full of mercy to restore us,

Mercy beaming from above.

3 Every secret fault confessing, Deeds unrighteous, tnoughts of sin ; Seize, O seize the proffer'd bless- ing, Grace from God, and peace within : Heart and voice with rapture swelling Still the song of glory raise ; On the theme immortal dwelling Join the universal praise.

Hurden'd, ami ~irk. and ainf ! To •rlioiii BhouM I my trouble* show. And pour out my complaint ?

S Mj Savior bids me come,

Ah ' why no I de ay ' Be mils 'he nreary sinner home, And yet from him I May !

3 What is it keeps mp hack FrOfH which I cannot part ?

Which will not let the Savior take Possession of my heart 1

4 Some cursed Thine unknown, Must rii rely lurk wtthi i ;

Some idol winch I will not own, Some seciet bosom-sin.

5 .I"sus, the hinderance show, Which I have fear'd to cee :

And let me now consent to know What keeps me hack from thee.

6 Searcher of hearts, in mine Thy Frying power display ;

Into its darkest corners shine, And take the veil away.

7 I now believe in thee Compaction reigns alone ;

According to my faith, to me O let it, Lord, be done !

3 In me is all the bar,

Which thou wouldst fain re- move : Remov» it. and I shad declare

That God is only love.

141. Uncertainty nf Life.

1 To-morrow, Lord, is thine, Lodged in thy sovereign hand ;

And if its sun arise and shine, It ■bines by thy command.

2 The present moment nVs, A ml hear* our li*'e ,u\ ny ;

0 make thy servants truly wise, That they may iive to-day.

■n this winced hour Eternity h hung. Waken by thine almighty power The aged and the young.

4 One thins demands our care ; Oh, be it still pursued —

Lest, Plighted once, the season lair, Should never be renew'd

5 To Jesus may we fly, Swift as the morning light.

Lest life's young golden beam should die In sudden, endless night.

14*2. The Stream nf lAfe.

1 Hn.v swift the torrent rolls, That hastens to the sea ;

How strung the tide that bean our souls On — to eternity !

2 Our faMiers, where are thev ? Wi,!, all they call'd their own;

Their joys and griefs, and hope* and cares And wealth and honor, gone!

3 There, where the fathers lie, Must all the children dwell ;

Nor n her heritage possess, But such a gloomy cell.

4 (Tod of our fathers, hear. Thou everlas ing Friend !

While we, on iife's extrt^ea verge, Our souls to thee commend.

5 Or all the pious dead

Mav we the -not steps trace, Till with them in the land of ligt '. We dwell beiore thy face.

(place, But strangers and pilgrims our-selves we con - fess.

2 At Jesus's call

We give up our all, And still we forego For Jesus' sake, our enjoyments below ; No longing we find For the country behind ; But onward we move, And still we are seeking a coun- try above.

3 A country of joy, Without any alioy ; We thither repair :

Our hearts and our treasure al- ready are there: We march hand in hand To Immanuers land ; No matter what cheer We meet with on earth, for eter- nity's near !

4 The rougher the way, The shorter our stay ; The tempests that rise,

Shall gloriously hurry our souls

to the skies :

The fiercer the blast,

The sooner 'tis past ;

The troubles thai come,

ShaJ come to our rescue, and

hasten us home.

144. The New Year.

1 Come, let us anew Our journey pursue, Roll round "with the year,

And never stand still till the Mas- ter appear ! H^ adorable will Let us gladly fulfil, And our talent* improve, By the patience of hope and the labor ot' love.

2 Our life as a dream, Our time as a stream, Glides swiftly away,

And the fugitive moment refuses to stay ; The arrow is flown, The moment is cone : The millennial year Rushes on to our view, and eter nity's here !

3 O that each in the day Of his coming may say

" 1 have fought my way thro', I havt fiuish'd the work ihou didst give me to do '" O that each from his Lord May receive the glad word, " Well and faithfully don* ' Enter inr< my joy, and sit down on my throne.'

145. Sounds Symphonious.

1 Whevce those sounds sym-

phonious ?

Solemn, sweet, and rare, Music most harmonious,

Filling all the air : Hark ! 'tis angels singing,

Singing here on earth : Joyful tidings bringing

Of the Savior's birth.

2 In that region yonder,

Where the angels sing,

Bursts of" joy ami wonder Make the air to ring : "Praise and adoration Be to God above : And to man, salvation, Object of his love."

3 Now ye heavens, sing ye ;

Earth, break forth and cry ; O ye mountains, ring ye

With the sound of joy ; For the Lord has done it:

His the victory, His own arm has won it :

Israel shall be free.

146. The Fall of Idols.

1 Hark ! the sounds of gladness From a distant shore j

Like relief from sadness, Sadness, now no more :

'Tis the Lord has done it, He has won the day,

His own arm has won it, Joyful let us say.

2 Idols lately bow'd to,

Lie by all abhorr'd ; And the people crowd to

Tempted of the Lord : What a change ! how glorioUi!

Lord, thine arm is strong, Thou hast proved victorious,

Though the fight was long.

3 Long the foe resisted,

Loth to yield his prey ; Every power enlisted,

And maintain'd the day: But his arm is shatter'd,

And the slaves are free ; All his force is scatter'd ;

Glory, Lord, to thee.

4 Hence those sounds of gladness

From a distant shore ; Then away with sadness,

And despond no more: Ye who mourn with Zion,

And her welfare seek, Think of Judah's lion,

Never faint nor weak.

5 When he wakes from slumber,

And puts on his might, What is force or number

Match'd with him in fight? When his foes assemble,

Hoping to prevail, Soon the valiant tremble,

And the mighty fail.

3 When self-accused I trembling

stood, I promised fair, as any could, But never counted on thy blood, My Savior !

4 Too soon the promise vain I

proved That sinners make, while sin is

loved, But still to thee, this heart ne'er

moved, My Savior!

5 Tj pleasure prone, I thought it

hard

From pleasure's path to be de- barr'd,

Nor pleasure sought from thy re- gard, My Savior!

6 At length, despairing to be free, A villincr slave I meant to be ; 'Twas then thou didst appear for

me, My Savior!

7 Thou, whom I had so long with-

stood, Thou didst redeem my soul with

blood, And thou hast brought me nigh

to God, My Savior f

8 Through storms and waves of

conflict past. Thy potent arm has held me fast, And thou wilt save me to the last, My Savior !

9 And when I reach the happy

shore, T hope to rest, but not before, And never to offend thee more, My Savior!

143. TJie Sacred Season.

day ! Bv God himself ordain'd and

bless'd ; A foretaste in a weary way,

Of endless rest.

2 Spirit of heavenly grace, de-

scend, Breathe on this sinful heart of

mine ; And as 1 trust thee for my friend, Give life divine.

3 De%-oted day of calm repose, Close of creation, sweetly bless'd, A pause to labor,— balm of woes—

An hour of rest.

4 Great Spirit, who ordain'd and

bletU'd, Shed on this heart its tranquil

powers ; And teach my bosom how to rest In sacred hours.

2 Lord, send a beam of light di-

vine, To guide our upward aim ! With one nviving touch of thine,

Our languid hearts inflame. Then shall, on faith's sublimest wing, Our ardent wishes rise To those bright scenes, where pleasures spring, Immortal in the skies _

1 BxCOMPAS8*9 \\ it ll clouds of di>:

Just ready :i'i hope to resign,

1 pant for in.' ligill r>f thy lace, And t « • .- 1 r it never will !»•' luine :

Disfieai trrf (1 wiih waiiiii}! so long, I sink at iliy feel \\ till my load ;

All plaintive I pour out my long, Ami st.etch forth my Lands uiuo God.

2 Shine, Lord ! and my terror

shall cease ; The blood of atonement apply ;

And lead Ukk to Jesus lor peace, —

The rock ihar. is higher than I:

Speak, Savior ! for sweet is thy

voice,

Thv presence is fair to beho'd ;

Attend to my sorrows and eries —

My groaniugs that cannot be

told.

3 If sometime? [strive as I mourn, My hold of thy promise to keep,

The billows more fiercely return, And plunge me again in the deep : While harassed and cast from thy sight, The tempter suggests, with a roar, — "The Lord has forsaken thee quite ; Thy God will be gracious no more."

4 Yet, Lord, if thy love hath de-'

s'uzn'd No covenant blessing for me, Ah ! tell me how is it 1 rind Some pleasure in wailing for thee ! Almighty to rescue thou art : Thy grace is my shield and my tower : Come, succor and gladden my heart, — Let this be the day of thy power.

153. Faith conquering.

1 Tun moment a sinner believes, And trusts in his crucified God,

Ills pardon at once he receives, — Redemption in lull through his blood:

Though thousands and thousands

Of IOCS

Against lilrti in malice unite, Their rage he through Christ can

oppose, Led forth by the Spirit to fight.

2 The faith, that unites to the

Lamb, And brings such Salvation as tliis, IS more than merenot'nn or name; The work of God's Spirit it is ; A principle, active and young, That lives under pressure and load ; That makes out of weakness more strong, And draws the soul upward to God.

3 It treads on the world and on

hell ;

It vanquishes death and despair; And oh ! let us wonder to tell,

It overcomes heaven by prayer; Permits a vile worm of the dust,

With God to commune as a friend : To hope ins forgiveness as just,

And look for his love to the end

4 It says to the mountains, l De-

part," That stand betwixt God and the soul ; It binds up the broken in heart, And makes wounded con sciences whole ; Bids sins of a crimson-like dye Be spotless as snow, and as white ; And raises the sinner on high, To dwell with the angels of light.

Bless him. ye mints; He comes to brine

And offer on thine altar, Lord, Our sacrifice of praise.

They rather choose the way that's wide, And strive to think it best.

And make them, ere the storm

5 Thy scene each vision brings Of beamy in decay ;

Of fair and early-faded things, Too exquisite to stay.

6 Of joys that come no more ; Of flowers whose bloom is fled;

Of farewells wept upon the shore; Of friends estranged or dead,

The vanished beauty of a" dream, O'er which wo gaze and sigh.

For low at thy feel I would lie ; I know that thou Dearest my feeble complaints ; Thou Dearest the young raven's cry.

O 1 come, in thy chariot of love ; From earth's vain enchantments, O ! help us to flee, And to set our alTections above.

1 O God of salvation, in mercy attend

The voice of contrition and wo ; While a suppliant knee at thy footstool we bend, Thy pardon and favor bestow.

2 And may we, kind Father, stiil hope in thy grace?

And may we stil! seek t;iee in prayer ? With the heirs of thy love wilt thou give us a place, And grant us thy presence to share ?

3 Unworthy, unholy, and sinful we are;

Forgetful of mercies received : From the paths of thy children we've wander'd afar, And often thy spirit have grieved.

4 O jrrant us repentance for every misdeed,

And help us our ways to amend ; With the erace of thy Spirit supply us in need ; In every temptation defend.

181. The Harvest, or the end of the ivorld.

1 THE fields are all white, the harvest is near, The reapers now with their sharp sickles appear, To reap down the wheat and gather in barns, While wild plants of nature are suffcrM to burn,

2 Come, then, O my soul, meditate on that day, When all things in nature shall cease and decay; When the trumpet shall sound, and the angels appear, To reap down the earth, both the wheat and the tare.

3 But hear the sad cry that ascendsto the sky, Of those in distress and have no where to fly; But will call on the rocks and the mountains to fall On their naked souls, to conceal them withall.

4 But 'twill be in vain, for the mountains must flee, The rocks fly like hailstones and shall no more be; The earth too shall quake, and the seas shall retire, And this solid world shall then be on fire.

5 Then, O wretched mortals, look up and espy, The glorious Redeemer descend from the sky, On a chariot of fire to the earth lie is bound, With a guard of bright angels attending around.

6 " Come hither, ye nations, your sentence receive, No more shall my spirit now strive and be grieved; My judgment is right, and my sentence is just, Come hither, ye bless'd; but depart all ye cursed!"

To its brink my step* I'll bend ; Thence to plunge 'twill be delightful; There my pilgrimage will end.

SUPPLEMENT

CHRISTIAN LYRE;

CONTAINING

MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED PSALM TUNES,

SUCH AS ARE MOST USED IN CHURCHES OF ALL DENOMINATIONS.

BY JOSHUA LEAVITT.

NEW-YORK :

PUBLISHED BY JONATHAN LEAYITT,

182, Broadway.

boston: crocklr and brewstkr;

47, Washington Street.

1831.

ADVERTISEMENT.

Many friends have expressed a wish, to have a collection of the best and most common psalm tunes, printed in a shape to be bound with the Christian Lyre, for use in family worship and in prayer meetings. The present collection was made to meet this wish. It contains more than one hundred tunes; and the compiler flatters himself that he has selected the best, and those most used, in churches generally. The music is given in two parts only, as those who re- quire other harmony will of course make use of professedly scientific works. It is believed, that the base here given will be found agreea- ble to our best standards. In its separate form, the Supplement may be a cheap and convenient companion to the Hymn Book at church. In multitudes of cases, it would doubtless answer every needed purpose for singing schools, and save much expense in purchasing larger works. Round in the volume with the Christian Lyre, to which it is supplementary, it will complete that work into a system of sacred music for social and private singing.

THE ORDER.

The tunes are classed in four parts— S. M., C. M., L. M., and P. M. And those of each class are arranged in alphabetical order, so that all necessity for an index is avoided.

THE PRICE.

The Supplement, separate, is twenty-five cents, single. Added to either volume of the Lyre, or to the two volumes bound in one, it will be twelve and a half cents.

THE CHRISTIAN LYRE.

The Christian Lyre was commenced in November, J830, as a monthly repository of music and hymns, for social worship. Vol. I., containing six No's, or 21b pa»es, was completed the first of April, and Vol. II. the first of October, 1831. At tnat time, there had been published no less than Nine Editions of Vol. I., each edition con- sisting of 2000 copies.

The price is sixty-two and a half cents for each volume. The two volumes bound in one, for one dollar. The Supplement added for twelve and a half cents.
