Once I thought my mountain strong, Firmly fixed no more to move;
Then my Saviour was my song. Then my soul was filled with love;
Those were happy, golden days,
Sweetly spent in prayer and praise.
2 Little then mj^self I knew , Little thought of Satan's power;
Now I feel ray sins anew;
Now I feel the stormy hour 1 Sin has put my joys to flight ; Sin has turned my day to night.
3 Saviour, shine and cheer my soul. Bid my dying hopes revive;
Make my wounded spirit whole, Far away the tempter drive; Speak the word and set me free. Let me live alone to thee.

Hast thou not bid me seek thy face? Hast thou not said — "Return?"

SPIRITUAL SONGS
WITH MUSIC
FOR USE IN SOCIAL MEETINGS.
SELECTED AND ARRANGED BY
REV. CHARLES S. "^RG BI NSC N, D.D
SCRIBNER & CO., NEW-YORK.
Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1878, by
SCRIBNER & Co., In the Office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington.
Copyright, 1879, by Scribner & Co.
MUSIC IN SOCIAL MEETINGS.
One reason why the music in many prayer-meetings gives so little assistance, is found in the worn-out familiarity of the hymns and tunes employed. There is no growth in the exercise. What is wanted is a wider range and a fresher adaptation. But there is no adequate chance for increase, unless the experience of the Sabbath successes can be taken into the week-day monotony.
Then, on the other hand, one reason why the music on the Lord's Day often has so feeble a force, is found in its exclusiveness as a thing of high art. It remains too far out of reach of the people. What is wanted is that the tunes should be learned, and the hymns should be rendered usable by frequent repetition.
Both of these ends will best be secured by the employment of the same Manual for all the services. Then the skill of the choir will tell on the social meetings; and the education of the people Will react powerfully upon the singing in the great congregation. The advantage to each from the other can hardly be overestimated. A delightful surprise will be noticed when a piece, which gave unmistakable satisfaction on the Sabbath, is suddenly attempted in the social circle. And when the choir try the same thing over again, a like pleasurable surprise will be noticed; for the people are always actually welcomed by the real artists if they do their own part well.
Spiritual Songs, in its larger form for the church and choir, and in this, its smaller form for the social meetings of the congre- gation, is designed to furnish just this sort of help. It has been hoped that a wholesome influence may be exerted by it in elevating the style of music in the prayer-meetings, and in keeping the range of songs used in the Sabbath services within reach.

3 May peace attend thy gate, And joy within thee wait,
To bless the soul of every guest : The man who seeks thy peace, And wishes thine increase,
A thousand blessings on him rest !
A Psalm 122. 1. WA
How PLEASED and blest was I,
To hear the people cry, "Come, let us seek our God to-day I"
Yes, with a cheerful zeal,
We haste to Zion's hill, And there our vows and honors pay.
2 Zion — thrice happy place — 4 My tongue repeats her vows,
Adorned with wondrous grace, "Peace to this sacred house 1"
While walls of strength embrace thee round: For here my friends and kindred dwell; In thee our tribes appear, And since my glorious God
To pray, and praise, and hear Makes thee his blest abode,
The sacred gospel's joyful sound. My soul shall ever love thee well.

Lord, we come before thee now, At thy feet we humbly bow; Oh, do not our suit disdain 1 Shall we seek thee. Lord, in vain?
2 Lord, on thee our souls depend, In compassion now descend ;
Fill our hearts with thy rich grace, Tune our lips to sing thy praise.
3 In thine own appointed way, Now we seek thee ; here we stay ; Lord, we know not how to go, Till a blessing thou bestow.
4 Comfort those who weep and mourn; Let the time of joy return ;
Those that are cast down lift up ; Make them strong in faith and hope.
5 Grant that all may seek and find Thee a God supremely kind ; Heal the sick ; the captive free ; Let us all rejoice in thee.

Jesus intercedes. j. Montgomery.
To THY temple we repair — Lord, we love to worship there. When within the vail we meet Thee upon the mercy-seat.
2 While thy glorious name is sung, Tune our lips — unloose our tongue ; Then our joyful souls shall bless Thee, the Lord our Righteousness.
3 While to thee our prayers ascend, Let thine ear in love attend ; Hear us, for thy Spirit pleads — Hear, for Jesus intercedes.
4 While thy word is heard with awe. While we tremble at thy law.
Let thy gospel's wondrous love Every doubt and fear remove.
5 From thy house when we return, Let our hearts within us burn ; That at evening we may say — "We have walked with God to-day."

Love divine, all love excelling, —
Joy of heaven, to earth come down! Fix in us thy humble dwelling,
All thy faithful mercies crown: Jesus 1 thou art all compassion.
Pure, unbounded love thou art; Visit us with thy salvation,
Enter every trembling heart. 2 Breathe, oh, breathe thy loving Spirit
Into every troubled breast 1 Let us all in thee inherit.
Let us find the promised rest:
Come, almighty to deliver,
Let us all thy life receive I Speedily return, and never.
Never more thy temples leave 1 3 Finish then thy new creation,
Pure, unspotted may we be: Let us see our whole salvation
Perfectly secured by thee! Changed from glory into glory.
Till in heaven we take our place; Till we cast our crowns before thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

HASTINGS.
The Pilgrim.
Gently, Lord, oh, gently lead us,
Through this lonely vale of tears ; Through the changes thou'st decreed us.
Till our last great change appears. When temptation's darts assail us,
When in devious paths we stray. Let thy goodness never fail us,
Lead us in thy perfect way.
2 In the hour of pain and anguish.
In the hour when death draws near, Suffer not our hearts to languish,
Suifer not our souls to fear. And when mortal life is ended.
Bid us in thine arms to rest, Till by angel bands attended,
We awake among the blest.

F. W. FABER.
God's lVe!co7>ie.
There 's a wideness in God's mercy.
Like the wideness of the sea: There's a kindness in his justice,
Which is more than liberty. There is welcome for the sinner,
And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Saviour;
There is healing in his blood.
2 For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple.
We should take him at his word; And our lives would be all sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord.

A O Psahn 2$. I. WATTS.
Mine eyes and my desire Are ever to the Lord;
1 love to plead his promises,
And rest upon his word.
2 Lord, turn to thee my soul; Bring thy salvation near:
When will thy hand release my feet From sin's destructive snare?
3 When shall the sovereign grace Of my forgiving God
Restore me from those dangerous ways My wandering feet have trod?
4 Oh, keep my soul from death, Nor put my hope to shame !
For I have placed my only trust In my Redeemer's name.
5 With humble faith I wait To see thy face again ;
Of Israel it shall ne'er be said. He sought the Lord in vain.
A i Psalm 6o. T. KELLY.
Arise, ye saints, arise !
The Lord our Leader is; The foe before his banner flies.
And victory is his.
2 We follow thee, our Guide, Our Saviour, and our King !
We follow thee, through grace supplied From heaven's eternal spring.
3 We soon shall see the day When all our toils shall cease;
When we shall cast our arms away, And dwell in endless peace.
4 This hope supports us here; It makes our burdens light;
'T will serve our drooping hearts to cheer, Till faith shall end in sight.
5 Till, of the prize possessed, We hear of war no more;
And ever with our Leader rest, On yonder peaceful shore.
■'• ^ Psalm 31. H. F. LYTE.
My spirit on thy care.
Blest Saviour, I recline; Thou wilt not leave me to despair,
For thou art love divine.
2 In thee I place my trust; On thee I calmly rest:
I know thee good, I know thee just, And count tliy choice the best.
3 Whate'er events betide, Thy will they all perform;
Safe in thy breast my head I hide, Nor fear the coming storm.
4 Let good or ill befall,
It must be good for me, — Secure of having thee in all, Of having all in thee.

Brethren, 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 part:

None so oft mislead our feet,
None betray us into sin,
Like the foes that dwell within;
Yet let nothing spoil our peace,
Christ shall also conquer these;
Soon the joyful news will come,

Where streams of pleasure ever flow, And every heart is love.

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, Aud bids me, at my Father's throne. Make all my wauts aud wishes known:
1 u seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief. And oft escaped the tempter's snare, ^y thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
2 Sweet hour of prayer ! sweet hour of prayer I Thy wings shall my petition bear
To him whose truth and faithfulness Engage the waiting soul to bless: Aud, since he bids me seek his face, Believe his word, and trust his grace, I '11 cast on him my every care. And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

My life flows on in endless song; Above earth's lamentation,
1 catch the sweet, though far-oflf, hymn That hails a new creation;
Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul —
How can I keep from singing?
2 What though my joys and comforts die? The Lord my Saviour hveth;
What though the darkness gather round?
Songs in the night he giveth ; No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that refuge clinging; Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?
3 I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin; I see the blue above it;
And day by day this pathway smooths, Since first I learned to love it;
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart, A fountain ever springing;
All things are mine since I am his — How can I keep from singing?

Lord ! I cannot let thee go. Till a blessing thou bestow; Do not turn away thy face. Mine's an urgent, pressing case,
2 Once a sinner, near despair, Sought thy mercy-seat by prayer; Mercy heard and set him free — Lord ! that mercy came to me.
3 Many days have passed since then. Many changes I have seen;
Yet have been upheld till now; Who could hold me up but thou?
4 Thou hast helped in every need- This emboldens me to plead; After so much mercy past. Canst thou let me sink at last?
5 No — I must maintain my hold; 'Tis thy goodness makes me bold; I can no denial take.
Since I plead for Jesus' sake.

What prayer is. j. Montgomery.
Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,
Uttered or unexpressed; The motion of a hidden fire
That trembles in the breast.
2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear.
The upward glancing of an eye, When none but God is near.
3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try ;
Prayer the sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high.
4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air:
His watchword at the gates of death — He enters heaven with prayer.
5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, Returning from his ways;
While angels in their songs rejoice, And cry — "Behold he prays !"
6 O thou, by whom we come to God- The Life, the Truth, the Way;
The path of prayer thyself hast trod ; Lord ! teach us how to pray.

'^The tacred fire."
B. BEDDOME.
Prayer is the breath of God in man,
Returning whence it came; Love is the sacred fire within.
And prayer the rising flame.
2 It gives the burdened spirit ease, And soothes the troubled breast;
Yields comfort to the mourning soul, And to the weary rest.
3 When God inclines the heart to pray, He hath an ear to hear;
To him there's music in a sigh, And beauty in a tear.
4 The humble suppliant cannot fail To have his wants supplied,
Since He for sinners intercedes. Who once for sinners died.

Before Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations I bow with sacred joy :
Know that the Lord is God alone : He can create, and he destroy.
2 His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men ;
And when, like wandering sheep, we strayed, He brought us to his fold again.
3 We are his people, we his care, — Our souls, and all our mortal frame :
What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker 1 to thy name?
4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs. High as the heavens our voices raise ;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.
5 Wide as the world is thy command, Vast as eternity, thy love ;
Firm as a rock tliy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.
§U Psalm TOO. W. KETHE.
All people that on earth do dwell, Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice:
Him serve with mirth, his praise fortli tell, Come ye before him and rejoice.
2 Know that the Lord is God indeed ;
Without our aid he did us make : We are his flock, he dotli us feed,
And for his sheep he doth us take.
3 Oh, enter then his gates with praise, Approach with joy his courts unto :
Praise, laud, and bless his name always, For it is seemly so to do.
4 For why ? the Lord our God is good, His mercy is for ever sure ;
His truth at all times firmly stood, And shall from age to age eudure.

3 Thou didst create the stars of night; Yet thou hast vailed in flesh thy light, Hast deigned a mortal form to wear A mortal's painful lot to bear.
4 When thou didst hang upon the tree. The quaking earth acknowledged thee; When thou didst there yield up thy breath, The world grew dark as shades of death,

Abide with us, and rest; Our hearts' desires are fully bent
On making thee our guest.

Where holy angels round thee stand, Whose sun can never set.

O Sun of Righteousness, do thou Shine on us evermore I

I would be still with thee. 2 With thee when dawn comes in.
And calls me back to care, Eacli day returning to begin
AVith thee my God in prayer.

3 With thee when day is done, And evening calms the mind;
The setting, as the I'ising, sun With thee my heart would find.

By day, by night, in life, in death, I would be still with thee.

Oh, may we all remember well The night of death draws near!

So death will soon disrobe us all Of what we here possessed.
3 Lord, keep us safe this night, Secure from all our fears;
May angels guard us while we sleep, Till morning light appears.

Because conferred by thee. In every joy that crowns my days,
In every pain I bear, My heart shall find delight in praise
Or seek relief in prayer.
3 When gladness wings my favored hour, Thy love my thoughts shall fill;
Resigned, when storms of sorrow lower, My soul shall meet thy will.
My lifted eye, without a tear, The gathering storm shall see;
My steadfast heart shall know no fear; That heart will rest on thee.
AtlJ. Psalm 116. 1. WATTS.
What shall I render to my God,
For all his kindness shown? My feet shall visit thine abode,
My songs address thy throne.
2 Among the saints that fill thine house, My offering shall be paid;
There shall my zeal perform the vows, My soul in anguish made.
3 How much is mercy thy delight. Thou ever blessed God !
How dear thy servants in thy sight 1 How precious is their blood !
4 How happy all thy servants are I How great thy grace to me !
My life, which thou hast made thy care. Lord, I devote to thee.

2 My thoughts, before they are my own, Are to my God distinctly known;
He knows the words I mean to speak. Ere from my opening lips they break.

I am surrounded still with God.

Or who the almighty Three in One By searching, to perfection find?

The laboring thought sinks down, opprest, And praises die upon their tongues.
3 Yet would I lift my trembling voice A portion of his ways to sing;
And mingling with his meanest works, My humble, grateful tribute bring.

By some vast deep I seem to stand. Whose secrets I must ask in vain.
4 When doubts disturb my troubled breast, And all is dark as night to me,
Here, as on solid rock, I rest; That so it seemeth good to thee.

3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take 1 The clouds ye so much dread,
.A.re big with mercy, and will break In blessings on your head.
4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust him for his grace;
Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face.
5 His purposes will ripen fast. Unfolding every hour;

And pray to be forgiven, So let thy life our pattern loe,
And form our souls for heaven.

Like thee, to do our Father's will, Our brother's griefs to share.
3 Let grace our selfishness expel, Our earthhness refine;
And kindness in our bosoms dwell As free and true as thine.
4 If joy shall at thy bidding fly, And grief's dark day come on,
We, in our turn, would meekly cry, "Father, thy will be done!"

Oh, may we lead the pilgrim's life, And follow thee to heaven !

And never bring to mind The grace that paid our hopeless debt,

Thy locks with mountain vapors wet, To save us from despair?
3 Gethsemane can we forget — Thy struggling agony
When night lay dark on Olivet, And none to watch with thee?
4 Our sorrows and our sins were laid On thee, alone on thee;
Thy precious blood our ransom paid — Thine all the glory be 1
5 Life's brightest joys we may forget— Our kindred cease to love;
But he who paid our hopeless debt, Our cofistancj shall prove.

" The ■wondrous Cross.'' l. watts.
When I survey the woudrous cross, Oil which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord ! that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ, my God;
All the vain things that charm me most I sacrifice them to his blood.
3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 His dying crimson, like a robe, Spreads o'er his body on the tree;
Then I am dead to all the globe, And all the globe is dead to me.
5 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine.
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

"J-'or »te.'
H. BONAR-
Jesus, whom angel hosts adore, Became a man of griefs for me ;
In love, though rich, becoming poor, That I through him enriched might be.
2 Though Lord of all, above, below. He went to Olivet for me:
There drank my cup of wrath and woe, When bleeding in Gethsemaue.
3 The ever-blessed Son of God Went up to Calvary for me;
There paid my debt, there bore ray load^ In his own body on the tree.
4 Jesus, whose dwelling is the skies, Went down into the grave for me;
There overcame my enemies, There won the glorious victory.
5 'Tis finished all: the vail is rent. The welcome sure, the access free: —
Now then, we leave our banishment, O Father, to return to thee !

Alas 1 and did iny Saviour bleed,
And did my Sovereign die? Would lie devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I ?
2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree ?
Amazing pity ! grace unknown ! And love beyond degree !
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the great Creator, died For man, the creature's sin.
4 Thus might I hide ray blushing face While his dear cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness. And melt my eyes to tears.
5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe ;
Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'T is all that I can do.

Oh, if my soul were formed for woe,
How would I vent my sighs ! Repentance should like rivers flow
From both my streaming eyes.
2 'Twas for my sins my dearest Lord Hung on the cursed tree.
And groaned away a dying life For thee, my soul ! for thee.
3 Oh, how I hate these lusts of mine That crucified my Lord;
Those sins that pierced and nailed his flesh Fast to the fatal wood I
4 Yes, my Redeemer — they shall die; My heart has so decreed ;
Nor will I spare the guilty things That made my Saviour bleed.
5 While with a melting, broken heart, My umrdered Lord I view,
I'll raise revenge against my sins, And slay the murderers too.

AoU The two Looks. j. newton.
1 SAW One hanging on a tree, In agony and blood;
Who fixed his languid eyes on me, As near the cross I stood.
2 Sure, never, till my latest breath, Can I forget that look:
It seemed to charge me with his death, Though not a word he spoke.
3 Alas ! I knew not what I did, — But now my tears are vain;
Where shall my trembling soul be hid, For I the Lord have slain !
4 A second look he gave, that said, "I freely all forgive:
This blood is for thy ransom paid; I die that thou may'st live."
5 Thus while his death my sin displays In all its blackest hue.
Such is the mystery of grace, It seals my pardon too 1
J-O f "-^ He remembers Calvary.'" I. WATTS.
How CONDESCENDING and how kind
Was God's eternal Son ! Our misery reached his heavenly mind.
And pity brought him down.
2 He sunk beneath our heavy woes,
To raise us to his throne; There's ne'er a gift his hand bestows,
But cost his heart a grpan.
f^

3 This was compassion, like a God, That when the Saviour knew
The price of pardon was his blood, His pity ne'er withdrew.
4 Now, though he reigns exalted high, His love is still as great;
Well he remembers Calvary, Nor let his saints forget.
loo " o Christ of God!" ray palmkr.
0 Jesus, sweet the tears I shed. While at thy cross I kneel,
Gaze on thy wounded, fainting head, And all thy sorrows feel.
2 My heart dissolves to see thee bleed;. This heart so hard before;
1 hear thee for the guilty plead.
And grief o'erflows the more.
3 I know this cleansing blood of thine Was shed, dear Lord, for me:
For me, for all, — oh, grace divine ! — Who look by faith on thee.
4 0 Christ of God, 0 spotless Lamb, By love my soul is drawn ;
Henceforth, for ever, thine I am; Here life and peace are born.
5 In patient hope, the cross I'll bear. Thine arm shall be my stay;
And thou, enthroned, my soul shalt spare,. On thy great judgment-day.

Lord of battles, God of armies.
He has gained the victory; He, who on the cross did suffer,
He, who from the grave arose, He has vanquished sin and Satan,
He by death has spoiled his foes.
3 Thou hast raised our human nature. On the clouds to God's right hand;
There we sit in heavenly places. There with thee in glory stand;
Jesus reigns, adored by angels; Man with God is on the throne;
Mighty Lord ! in thine ascension. We by faith behold our own.
4 Lift us up from earth to heaven, Give us wings of faith and love,
Gales of holy aspirations. Wafting us to realms above;
That, with hearts and minds uplifted. We with Christ our Lord may dwell,
Where he sits enthroned in glory, In the heavenly citadel.
5 So at last, when he appeareth,
We from out our graves may spring. With our youth renewed like eagles'.
Flocking round our heavenly King, Caught up on the clouds of heaven.
And may meet him in the air — Rise to realms where he is reigning,
And may reign for ever there.

Jesus, my All, to heaven is gone, He whom I fix my hopes upon ; His track I see, and I '11 pursue The narrow way till him I view.

I'll go for all his paths are peace.
3 This is the way I long had sought. And mourned because I found it not; My grief, my burden, long had been Because I could not cease from sin.

4 The more I strove against its power, I sinned and stumbled but the more; Till late I heard my Saviour say, "Come hither, soul, I am the Way !"
5 Lo ! glad I come ; and thou, dear Lamb, Shalt take me to thee as I am. Nothing but sin I thee can give; Nothing but love shall I receive.

Be everlasting honors given ; He saves from hell, — we bless his name, —
He guides our wandering feet to heaven,
2 'T was his own purpose that began To rescue rebels doomed to die:
He gave us grace in Christ, his Son, Before he spread the starry sky.
3 Jesus, the Lord, appears at last,
And makes his Father's counsels known; Declares the great transactions past. And brings immortal blessings down.
4 He dies; and in that dreadful night Doth all the powers of hell destroy;
Rising, he brings our heaven to light, And takes possession of the joy.

2 I heard the law its thunders roll, While guilt lay heavy on my soul —
A vast oppressive load; All creature-aid I saw was vain; "The sinner must be born again,"
Or drink the wrath of God.
3 But while I thus in anguish lay, The bleeding Saviour passed that way,
My bondage to remove. The sinner, once by justice slain, Now by his grace is born again.
And sings redeeming love.

Out in the desert he heard its cry —
'Twas helpless and sick, and ready to die.

Come, trembling sinner, in whose breast A thousand thoughts revolve;
Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed. And make this last resolve; —
2 "I'll go to Jesus, though my sins Like mountains round me close;
I know his courts, I '11 enter in, Whatever may oppose.
3 "Prostrate I'll he before his throne, And there my guilt confess;
I '11 tell him I 'm a wretch undone, Without his sovereign grace.
4 "Perhaps he will admit my plea, Perhaps will hear my prayer;
But if I perish, I will pray, And perish only there.
5 "I can but perish if I go; I am resolved to try;
For if I stay away, I know I must for ever die,"

5 Soon shall our doubts and fears Subside at his control;
His loving-kindness shall break through The midnight of the soul.
6 Blest is the man, 0 God,
Who stays himself on thee; Who waits for thy salvation. Lord,
Shall thy salvation see.
^^^ " Be of good courage." j. Wesley, /r.
Give to the winds thy fears;
Hope, and be undismayed; God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears;
God shall lift up thy head.
2 Through waves, and clouds, and storms. He gently clears thy way;
Wait thou his time ; so shall this night Soon end in joyous day.
3 What tnough thou rulest not I Yet heaven, and earth, and hell
Proclaim, God sitteth on the throne, And ruleth all things well.
4 Far, far above thy thought His counsel shall appear,
When fully he the work has wrought, That caused thy needless fear.

"Whether I die or live; To love and serve thee is my share,
And this thy grace must give.
2 If life be long, I will be glad That I may long obey;
If short, yet why should I be sad To soar to endless day ?
3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms Than he went through before ;
Ko one into his kingdom comes, But through his opened door.
4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me Thy blessed face to see; [meet,
For if thy work on earth be sweet, What will thy glory be ?
5 Then shall I end my sad complaints, And weary, sinful days,
And join with all triumphant saints Who sing Jehovah's praise.
6 My knowledge of that life is small; The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all, And I shall be with him.

God's glory is a wondrous thing.
Most strange in all its ways, And of all things on earth, least like
What men agree to praise.
2 Oh, blest is he to whom is given. The instinct that can tell
That God is on the field, when he Is most invisible!
3 And blest is he who can divine Where real right doth lie.
And dares to take the side that seems Wrong to man's blindfold eye!
4 Oh, learn to scorn the praise of men I Oh, learn to lose with God!
For Jesus won the world through shame. And beckons thee his road.
5 And. right is right, since God is God; And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty, To falter would be sin!

Sometimes a light surprises
The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord who rises
With healing in his wings: When comforts are declining,
He grants the soul 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 bring 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 should bear,
Though all the fields should wither, Nor flocks, nor herds be there;
Yet God the same abiding. His praise shall tune my voice.
For while in him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.

In heavenly love abiding,
No change my heart shall fear, And safe is such confiding,
For nothing changes here: The storm may roar without me,
My heart may low be laid. But God is round about me,
And can I be dismayed ?
2 Wherever he may guide me. No want shall turn me back;
My Shepherd is beside me. And nothing can I lack:
His wisdom ever wakcth, His sight is never dim:
He knows the way he taketh, And I will walk with him.
3 Green pastures arc before me, Which yet I have not seen;
Bright skies will soon be o'er me. Where darkest clouds have been?
My hope I cannot measure; My path to life is free;
My Saviour has my treasure. And he will walk with me.

With perfume and oil thou anointest my head ; Oh, what shall I ask of thy providence more?

I seek, by the path which my forefathers trod Through the land of their sojourn, thy kingdom of love.

4 If I find him, if I follow. What his guerdon here? —
"Many a sorrow, many a labor. Many a tear."
5 If I still hold closely to him, What hath he at last? —
"Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan passed."
6 If I ask him to receive me, Will he say me nay ? —
"Not till earth, and not till heaven Pass away."

When, marshaled on the nightly plain,
The glittering host bestud the 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 gem ; But one alone the Saviour 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 yawned, and rudely blowed
The wind that tossed my foundering bark. 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 my guide, my light, my all; It bade my dark forebodings cease,
And through the storm and danger's thrall It led me to the port of peace.
Now safely moored, my perils o'er, I'll sing, first in night's diadem,
For ever and for evermore.
The Star, the Star of Bethlehem !

Telling us that in the future Golden harvests shall be won.

Waking hope within our l^osoms, Stilling every anxious fear.

Lighting up the steps to glory With salvation's radiant beam.

How they who seek in God their rest Shall ever find him near; —

2 Lord, I believe thy precious blood, — Which, at the mercy-seat of God,
For ever doth for sinners plead, — For me, ev'n for my soul, was shed.
3 When from the dust of death I rise To claim my mansion in the skies — Ev'n then, this shall be all my plea: Jesus hath lived, hath died for me.
4 This spotless robe the same appears, When ruined nature sinks in years; No age can change its glorious hue, The robe of Christ is ever new.

And wake, to chant Immanuel's love, Such strains as angel-lips can sing !

When pardoned souls their raptures tell. And, grateful, hymn Immanuel's praise.
3 Jesus, thy name our souls adore;
We own the bond that makes us thine; And carnal joys that charmed before, For thy dear sake we now resign.
4 Our hearts, by dying love subdued. Accept thine offered grace to-day;
Beneath the cross, with blood bedewed, We bow, and give ourselves away.

"^" Strength, Fortress, Refuge. A. steelb.
Dear Refuge of my weary soul,
On thee, when sorrows rise, On thee, when waves of trouble roll.
My fainting hope relies.
2 To thee I tell each rising grief.
For thou alone canst heal; Thy word can bring a sweet relief
For every pain I feel.
3 Like some bright dream that comes un- 3 But oh, when gloomy doubts prevail, When slumbers o'er me roll, [sought, I fear to call thee mine;
Thine image ever fills my thought, And charms my ravished soul.
4 Yet though I have not seen, and still
Must rest in faith alone; I love thee, dearest Lord I — and will,
Unseen, but not unknown.
The springs of comfort seem to fail. And all my hopes decline.
4 Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee?
Thou art my only trust; And still my soul would cleave to thee,
Though prostrate in the dust.
5 When death these mortal eyes shall seal, 5 Thy mercy-seat is open still, And still this throbbing heart, Here let my soul retreat.
The rending vail shall thee reveal, With humble hope attend thy will,
All glorious as thou art 1 And wait beneath thy feet.

How SWEET the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear ! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds.
And drives away his fear.

'Tis manna to the hungry soul, And to the weary, rest.

With heaven, my journey's end, in view; Secure of finding God in all
We can be calm and free from care On any shore, since God is there.

But with our God to guide our way, 'Tis equal joy to go or stay.
4 Could we be cast where thou art not, That were indeed a dreadful lot; But regions none remote we call,
Supported by his staff and rod. My road is safe and pleasant too.
2 Though snares and dangers throng my
path, And earth and hell my course withstand, I triumph over all by faith. Guarded by his almighty hand.
3 The wilderness affords no food, But God for my support prepares,
Provides me every needful good,
And frees my soul from wants and cares.
4 With him sweet converse I maintain ; Great as he is, I dare be free;
I tell him all ray grief and pain, And he reveals his love to me.

0 BLKssED God, to thcc I raise My voice in thankful hymns of praise; And when my voice shall silent be, My silence shall be praise to thee.
2 For voice and silence doth impart The filial homage of my heart; And both alike are understood
By thee, thou Parent of all good —
3 Whose grace is all unsearchable. Whose care for me no tongue can tell. Who loves my loudest praise to hear, And loves to bless my voiceless prayer.

OOtf Faith. 1. WATTS.
'Tis by the faith of joys to come,
We walk through deserts dark as night;
Till we arrive at heaven, our home, Faith is our guide, and faith our light.
2 The want of sight she well supplies; She makes the pearly gates appear;
Far into distant worlds she pries, And brings eternal glories near.
3 Cheerful we tread the desert through, While faith inspires a heavenly ray;
Though lions roar, and tempests blow, And rocks and dangers fill the way.
d / " Self-denial. j. keble.
If on our daily course our mind Be set, to hallow all we find, New treasures still, of countless price, God will provide for sacrifice.
2 Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be, As more of heaven in each we see; Some softening gleam of love and prayer Shall dawn on every cross and care.
3 The trivial round, the common task, Will furnish all we ought to ask ; — Room to deny ourselves, a road
To bring us daily nearer God.
4 Only, O Lord, in thy dear love, Fit us for perfect rest above ; And help us, this and every day, To live more nearly as we pray.
Q71
" * -■- Love. I. WATTS
Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews, And nobler speech than angels use, If love be absent, I am found Like tiukhng brass, an empty sound.
2 Were I inspired to preach and tell All that is done in heaven and hell — Or could my faith the world remove. Still I am nothing without love.
3 Should I distribute all my store To feed the hungry, clothe the poor; Or give my body to the flame.
To gain a martyr's glorious name: —
4 If love to God and love to men Be absent, all my hopes are vain; Nor tongues, nor gifts, nor fiery zeal. The work of love can e'er fulfill.
tf § n^ Consistency. i. watts.
So LET our lips and lives express The holy gospel we profess; So let our works and virtues shine. To prove the doctrine all divine.
2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad The honors of our Saviour God; When his salvation reigns within. And grace subdues the power of sin,
3 Religion bears our spirits up, While we expect that blessed hope, — The bright appearance of the Lord: And faith stands leaning on his word.

In whom no darkness is.

Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss, And saves me from its snares;
Its aid, in every duty, brings, And softens all my cares.
2 The wounded conscience knows its power The healing balm to give ;
That balm the saddest heart can cheer; And make the dying live.
3 Wide it unvails celestial worlds, Where deathless pleasures reign;
And bids me seek my portion there. Nor bids me seek in vain.
4 It shows the precious promise sealed With the Redeemer's blood;
And helps my feeble hope to rest Upon a faithful God.
5 There — there unshaken would I rest, Till this frail body dies;
And then, on faith's triumphant wings, To endless glory rise.

Come, thou glorious God and Saviour! Come, and bring the gospel grace.

With fear and meekness, every task Of duty to fulfill.

And sow abroad the precious seed Of truth in every place: —

And trees spring up of righteousness, Where'er life's river flows.

And, persevering to the end, Work while it is to-day.

Hark I the voice of Jesus calling, —
Who will go and work to-day ? Fields are white, the harvest waiting, —
"Who will bear the sheaves away? Loud and long the Master calleth,
Rich reward he offers free; Who will answer, gladly saying,
"Here am I, 0 Lord, send me"
2 If you cannot cross the ocean And the heathen lands explore,
You can find the heathen nearer, You can help them at your door;
If you cannot speak like angels, if you cannot preach like Paul,
You can teU the love of Jesus, You can say he died for all.
3 While the souls of men are dying, And the Master calls for you,
Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do I"
Gladly take the task he gives you, Let his work your pleasure be;
Answer quickly when he calleth, •Here am I, 0 Lord, send me."
TCVfV ;. lyy^it thy hand firuUtk." E. H. GATES.
If you cannot on the ocean Sail among the swiftest fleet,
Rocking on the highest billows, Laughing at the storms you meet,
You can stand among the sailors. Anchored yet within the bay,
You can lend a hand to help them As they launch their boat away.
2 If vou are too weak to journey Up the mountain steep and high,
You can stand within the valley, While the multitude go by;
You can chant in happy measure, As they slowly pass along;
Though they may forget the singer, They will not forget the song.
3 If you have not gold and silver Ever ready to command;
If vou cannot toward the needy Reach an ever open hand,
You can visit the afflicted, O'er the erring you can weep;
You can be a true disciple Sitting at the Saviour's feet.
4 If you cannot in the harvest Garner up the richest sheaf,
Many a grain both ripe and golden Will the careless reapers leave;
Go and glean among the briers. Growing rank against the wall.
For it may be that the shadow Hides the heaviest wheat of all.

We, in their crowded loneliness, Would seek the desolate.
3 For thou hast placed us side by side In this wide world of ill;
And that thy followers may be tried, The poor are with us still.

If given for the Saviour's sake. They lose not their reward.

And call it back to life; A look of love Itid sin depart, And still unholy strife.
3 No act falls fruitless; none can tell How vast its power may be,
Nor what results infolded dwell Within it silently.

3 By cool Siloam's shady rill The lily must decay;
The rose that blooms beneath the hill Must shortly fade away.
4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour Of man's mature r age
May shake the soul with sorrow's power And stormy passion's rage.
5 0 thou, whose infant feet were found Within thy Father's shrine,
Whose years, with changeless virtue crowned. Were all alike divine !
6 Dependent on thy bounteous breath, We seek thy grace alone
In childhood, manhood, age and death, To keep us still thine own.

Let saints below in concert sing
With those to glory gone; For all the servants of our King
In earth and heaven are one. One family — we dwell in him —
One churcli above, beneath, Though now divided by the stream,
The narrow stream of death j —
2 One army of the living God, To his command we bow;
Part of the host have crossed the flood,
And part are crossing now. Ev'n now to their eternal home
^ome happy spirits fly; And we are to the margin come,
And soon expect to die.
3 Ev'n now, by faith, we join our hands ^Vith those that went before,
And greet the ransomed, blessed bands
Upon the eternal shore. Lord Jesus! be our constant guide:
And, when the word is given, Bid death's cold flood its waves divide,
And land us safe in heaven.
^'^^ Hebrews, 12 : 18-24. '• watts.
Not to the terrors of the Lord,
The tempest, fire, and smoke; Not to the thunder of that word
Which God on Sinai spoke; — But we are come to Zion's hill.
The city of our God; Where milder words declare his will,
And speak his love abroad.
2 Behold the innnmerable host Of angels clothed in light;
Behold, the spirits of the just. Whose faith is turned to sight I
Behold the blest assembly there, "Whose names are writ in heaven!
And God, the Judge of all, declare Their vilest sins forgiven.
3 The saints on earth, and all the dead, But one communion make;
All join in Christ, their living Head,
And of his grace partake. In such society as this
My weary soul would rest; The man that dwells where Jesus is.
Must be for ever blest.

By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored, We keep the memory adored, And show the death of our dear Lord, Until he come.
2 His body broken in our stead Is here, in this memorial bread; And so our feeble love is fed,
Until he come.
3 His fearful drops of agony, His life-blood shed for us we see: The wme shall tell the mystery,
Until he come.
4 And thus that dark betrayal night, With the last advent we unite — The shame, the glory, by this rite,
Until he come.
5 Until the trump of God be heard, Until the ancient graves be stirred, And with the great commanding word,
The Lord shall come.
6 Oh, blessdd hope 1 with this elate, Let not our hearts be desolate, But, strong in faith, in patience wait,

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 call 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, oh, salvation !
The joyful sound proclaim, Till earth's remotest nation
Has learned 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 ransomed nature The Lamb for sinners slain.

Hail to the Lord's anointed,

His reign on earth begun ! He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free, To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.
2 He comes, with succor speedy, To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to hght,
Whose souls, condemned and dying, Were precious in his sight.
3 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth,
And love, and joy, like flowers. Spring in his path to birth:
Before him, on the mountains, Shall peace the herald go.
And righteousness in fountains From hill to valley flow.
4 Arabia's desert-ranger
To him shall bow the knee; The Ethiopian stranger ■ His glory come to see:
With offerings of devotion,
Ships from the isles shall meet,
To pour the wealth of ocean In tribute at his feet.
5 Kings shall fall down before him, And gold and incense bring:
All nations shall adore him;
His praise all people sing; For he shall have dominion
O'er river, sea, and shore. Far as the eagle's pinion
Or dove's light wing can soar.
6 For him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end. The heavenly dew shall nourish
A seed in weakness sown, Whose fruit sliall spread and flourish.
And shake like Lebanon.
*l O'er every foe victorious,
He on his throne shall rest; From age to age more glorious,
All-blessing and all-blessed. The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove; His name shall stand for ever;
His great, best name of Love!

4:0 e/ Psalm 46. i. watts.
God is the refuge of his saints,
When storms of sharp distress invade;
Ere we can offer our complaints, Behold him present with his aid,
2 Let mountains from their seats be hurled Down to the deep, and buried there,
Convulsions shake the solid world — Our faith shall never yield to fear.
3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar — In sacred peace our souls abide;
While every nation, every shore.
Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide.
4 There is a stream, whose gentle flow Supplies the city of our God;
Life, love, and joy, still gliding through. And watering our divine abode.
5 That sacred stream, thy holy word. Our grief allays, our fear controls;
Sweet peace thy promises afford.
And give new strength to fainting souls.
WARD. L. M,
6 Zion enjoys her Monarch's love, Secure against a threatening hour;
Nor can her firm foundation move.
Built on his truth, and armed with power.
^"^ Psalm -ji. I. WATTS.
Great God ! whose universal sway The known and unknown worlds obey; Now give the kingdom to thy Son; Extend his power, exalt his throne.
2 As rain on meadows newly mown, So shall he send his influence down; His grace, on fainting souls, distills Like heavenly dew on thirsty hills.
3 The heathen lands, that lie beneath The shades of overspreading death, Revive at his first dawning light, And deserts blossom at the sight.
4 The saints shall flourish in his days, Dressed in tiie robes of joy and praise; Peace, like a river, from his throne, Shall flow to nations yet unknown.

Still mute remains thy sullen tongue, And Zion's song denies to sing ?

Thy promised King his sceptre sways: Jesus, thine own Messiah, reigns !

But friends provoke the silent lyre. And brethren ask the holy strain. 13
A scattered, homeless flock, till all Be gathered to thy peaceful fold.
4 Send them thy mighty word to speak. Till faith shall dawn, and doubt depart.
To awe the bold, to stay the weak, And bind and heal the broken heart.

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

Hope wipes the tear from sorrow's eye, And faith points upward to the sky.

One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er, —
Nearer my home, to-day, am I Than e'er I've been before.
2 Nearer my Father's house, Where many mansions be;
Nearer to-day the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea.
3 Nearer the bound of Ufe, Where burdens are laid down;
Nearer to leave the heavy cross; Nearer to gain the crown.
4 But, lying dark between. Winding down through the night.
There rolls the deep and unknown stream That leads at last to light.
5 Ev'n now, perchance, my feet Are slipping on the brink.
And I, to-day, am nearer home, — Nearer than now I think.

To cheer my dying hours ; To triumph o'er approaching death,

Through sorrow's night, and danger's path,
Amid the deepening gloom, We, followers of our suffering Lord,
Are marching to the tomb.
2 There, when the turmoil is no more. And all our powers decay,
Our cold remains, in solitude. Shall sleep the years away.
3 Our labors done, securely laid In this our last retreat.
Unheeded o'er our silent dust The storms of earth shall beat.
4 Yet not thus buried or extinct, The vital spark shall lie:
For o'er life's wreck that spark shall rise To seek its kindred sky.
5 These ashes, too, this little dust, Our Father's care shall keep.
Till the last angel rise and break The long and dreai'y sleep.
6 Then love's soft dew o'er every eye Shall shed its mildest rays,
And the long silent voice awake With shouts of endless praise.

2 Why shrinks my soul ? — in death's embrace Once Jesus captive slept:
And angels, hovering o'er the place, His lowly pillow kept.
3 Thus shall they guard my sleeping dust, And, as the Saviour rose.
The grave again shall yield her trust, And end my deep repose.
4 My Lord, before to glory gone, Shall bid me come away;
And calm and bright shall break the dawn Of heaven's eternal day,

When thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come To take thy ransomed people home,
Shall I among them stand? Shall such a worthless worm as I, Who sometimes am afraid to die,
Be found at thy right hand?
2 I love to meet thy people now, Before thy feet with them to bow,
Though vilest of them all; But, can I bear the piercing thought, What if my name should be left out,
When thou for them shalt call?
3 0 Lord, prevent it by thy grace ; Be thou my only hiding-place,
In this the accepted day; Thy pardoning voice, oh, let me hear, To still my unbelieving fear,
Nor let me fall, I pray.
4 Among thy saints let me be found, Whene'er the archangel's trump shall sound,
To see thy smiling face; Then loudest of the throng I'll sing. While heaven's resounding mansions ring
With shouts of sovereicrn grace.

*'"" ^^ Into thine hand." German,
When my last hour is close at hand,
My last sad journey taken, Do thou, Lord Jesus ! by me stand;
Let me not be forsaken:
0 Lord ! my spirit I resign Into thy loving hands divine;
'Tis safe within thy keeping,
2 Countless as sands upon the shore, My sins may then appall me;
Yet, though my conscience vex me sore,
Despair shall not enthrall me; For as I draw my latest breath,
1 '11 think, Lord Christ ! upon thy death,
And there find consolation.
3 I shall not in the grave remain. Since thou death's bonds hast severed:
By hope with thee to rise again, From fear of death delivered, I'll come to thee, where'er thou art, — Live with thee, from thee never part; Therefore I die in rapture.
4 And so to Jesus Christ I'll go, My longing arms extending;
So fall asleep, in slumber deep,
Slumber that knows no ending; Till Jesus Christ, God's only Son, Opens the gates of bliss, leads on To heaven, to life eternal.

So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between.
But timorous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea;
And linger, shivering on the brink, Aud fear to launch away.

And see the Canaan that we love
With unbeclouded eyes: — Could we but climb where Moses stood.

There rays divine disperse the gloom; Beyond the confines of the tomb Appears the dawn of heaven !

But, in heavenly vesture shining, Soon they shall thy glory see;

Thou hast a mansion far away,
Where for thine own a rest remains.

God and the Lamb, for ever nigh. O'er all shed everlasting light.

While notes to mortals all unknown. Float on the calm celestial ah".
4 Around that throne bright legions stand, Redeemed by blood from sin and hell;
And shining forms, an angel band. The mighty chorus join to swell.

In thine eternal fullness blest,
While ages roll their cycles round 1

And trees of life immortal grow,
Whose fruits o'erhang the sapphire wall,
3 I know that thou, who on the tree Didst deign our mortal guilt to bear,
Wilt bring thine own to dwell with thee. And waitest to receive me there 1
4 Thy love will there array my soul In thine own robe of spotless hue;
And I shall gaze, while ages roll. On thee, with raptures ever new 1

Life has many a pleasant hour,
Many a bright and cloudless day; Singing bird and smiling flower, Scatter sunbeams on our way; But the sweetest blossoms grow In the land to which we go.
2 Earth has many a cool retreat, Many a spot to memory dear; Oft we find our weary feet
Lingering by some fountain clear; Yet the purest waters flow In the land to which we go.
3 Like a cloud that floats away, Lilie the early morning dew,
Here the fairest things decay; There, are pleasures ever new. Ouly joy the heart will know In the land to which we go.
4 'Tis the Christian's promised land; There is everlasting day;
There a Saviour's loving hand Wipes the mourner's tears away; Oh ! the rapture we shall kuow In the laud to which we go.

This is not my place of resting, —
Mine's a city yet to come; Onward to it I am hasting —
On to my eternal home.
2 In it all is light and glory; O'er it shines a nightless day:
Every trace of sin's sad story, All the curse, hath passed away.
3 There the Lamb, our Shepherd, leads us By the streams of life along, —
On the freshest pastures feeds us, Turns our sighing into song.
4 Soon we pass this desert dreary, Soon we bid farewell to pain;
Never more are sad or weary, Never, never sin again !

Hark ! the sound of holy voices,
Chanting at the crystal sea, Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Lord, to thee 1
2 Multitudes, which none can number. Like the stars in glory stand,
Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of victory in their hands.
3 They have come from tribulation. And have washed their robes in blood,
Washed them in the blood of Jesus; Tried they were and lirm they stood.
4 Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented, Sawn asunder, slain with sword.
They have conquered death and Satan By the might of Christ the Lord.
5 Love and peace they taste for ever, And all truth and knowledge see
In the Beatific Vision Of the blessdd Trinity.

3 From the throne a river issues. Clear as crystal, passing bright,
And it traverses the City Like a sudden beam of light.
4 There the wind is sweetly fragrant, And is lad(!ii with the song
Of tlie soraplis, and the ciders, And the great redeemed throng.

While, with ceaseless course, the sun
Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run,
Nevermore to meet us here: Pixed in an eternal state.
They have done with all below; We a little longer wait, —
But how little none can know.
2 As the winged arrow flies Speedily the mark to find;
As the lightning from the skies Darts, and leaves no trace behind,
Swiftly thus our fleeting days Bear us down life's rapid stream;
Upward, Lord, our spirits raise, All below is but a dream.
3 Thanks for mercies past receive ; Pardon of our sins renew ;
Teach us henceforth how to live,
With eternity in view: Bless thy word to young and old;
Fill us with a Saviour's love; And, when life's short tale is told,
May we dwell with thee above!
tf^Xf Independence Day. n. strong.
Swell the anthem, raise the song; Praises to our God belong; Saints and angels join to sing Praises to the heavenly King.
Blessings from his liberal hand Plow around this happy land: Kept by him, no foes annoy ; Peace and freedom we enjoy.
2 Here, beneath a virtuous sway May we cheerfully obey; Never feel oppression's rod, Ever own and worship God. Hark ! the voice of nature sings Praises to the King of kings; Let us join the choral song, And the gratefiil notes prolong.
Thanksgiving. a. l. barbauid.
541
Praise to God, immortal praise, For the love that crowns our days I Bounteous Source of every joy. Let thy praise our tongues employ. For the blessings of the field. For the stores the gardens yield; For the fruits in full supply. Ripened 'neath the summer sky ; —
2 All that spring with bounteous hand Scatters o'er the smiling land; All that liberal autumn pours From her rich, o'erflowing stores; These to thee, my God, we owe, Source whence all our blessings flow; And for these my soul shall raise Grateful vows and solemn praise.

O God, beneath thy guiding hand. Our exiled fathers crossed the sea,
And when they trod the wintry strand. With prayer and psalm they worshiped thee.
2 Thou heardst, well pleased, the song, the
prayer — Thy blessing came; and still its power Shall onward through all ages bear The memory of tliat holy hour.

no more The fierce and naked savage roams: Sweet praise, along the cultured shore. Breaks from ten thousand happy homes.
4 Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God Came with those exiles o'er the waves.
And where their pilgrim feet have trod. The God they trusted guards their graves.
5 And here thy name, 0 God of love. Their children's children shall adore,
Till these eternal liills remove.
And spring adorns the earth no more.

Great God 1 we sing that mighty hand By which supported still we stand; The opening year thy mercy shows; Let mercy crown it till it close.
2 By day, by night, at home, abroad, Still we are guarded by our God;
By his incessant bounty fed, By his unerring counsel led.
3 With grateful hearts the past we own; The future, all to us unknown.
We to thy guardian care commit, And peaceful leave before thy feet.
4 In scenes exalted or depressed, Be thou our joy, and thou our rest; Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise, Adored through all our changing days.
5 When death shall interrupt our songs. And seal in silence mortal tongues. Our Helper, God, in whom we trust,
In better worlds our souls shall boast.

^^^ The New Year.
Our Helper, God 1 we bless thy name, Whose love forever is the same; Tlie tokens of thy gracious care Open, and crown, and close the year.
2 Amid ten thousand snares we stand, Supported by thy guardian hand; And see, when we review our ways, Ten thousand monuments of praise.
3 Thus far thine arm has led me on; Thus far we make thy mercy known ; And while Ave tread this desert land. New mercies shall new songs demand.
4 Our grateful souls, on Jordan's shore. Shall raise one sacred pillar more; Then bear in thy bright courts above. Inscriptions of immortal love.

Of the declining year; He bids the sun cut short his race,
And wintry days appear.
