PREFACE.
Twenty-two years ago, " a "book of Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs," known
as The Church Hymn Book, was published by the authority of the General Elder-
ship of the Church of God. At the time of its publication, this book was equal
in every respect to any hymn book then in use, and it has proved during all this
time an acceptable book for the service of song in the congregations of the Church
of God. But during these years a revolution has been effected in books of sacred
song, and an almost universal demand has arisen for collections having both hymns
and tunes. The General Eldership recognized this want in some measure when,
in 1878, it passed an action constituting the Board of Publication " a Eevision Com-
mittee on The Church Hymn Book," and by adding to said Committee two members
"to revise The Church Hymn Book," and granting this Committee "discretionary
powers to publish a smaller edition with the music."
For reasons which seemed fully to justify its action, this Committee decided not to
revise The Church Hymn Book, nor to issue "a smaller edition with the music,"
during the triennial period following the Eldership of 1878. But the demand among
the churches for an improved hymn and tune book continued to spread and inten-
sify, and at the General Eldership in May, 1881, it found expression in imper-
ative action. The former Committee reported the reasons for not issuing a
hymnal, and also recommended "that a Committee be appointed or elected, in con-
nection with the Board of Publication, who shall constitute a Committee to publish a
hymnal for the use of the Church at as early a day as possible." This recommenda-
tion was adopted. At a subsequent stage of the proceedings, the Board of Publica-
tion, together with the three brethren elected by the Eldership, was constituted
the Hymnal Committee. The undersigned, composing said Committee, have given
diligent attention to the work committed to their hands, and they are now, at this
early date, offering this collection of " Spiritual Songs" to the Brotherhood of the
Church of God, for use in the service of public praise.
In adopting this selection we have kept in view what we considered the real
needs of the Church. A less complete and expensive book, which would have
met in some degree the immediate and most urgent wants of the body, could
have been published, but it might have proved very injudicious economy in the
end. We therefore concluded to provide the Church with a hymn and tune book
which should compare favorably with the various excellent denominational
books now so extensively used ; and one, too, which should contain nearly as large,
and equally as varied, a collection of hymns as that found in The Church Hymn
Book. The Committee feel assured that the mature and enlightened judgment of the
Brotherhood will fully approve their action; and they anticipate that "Spiritual
Songs " will be cordially accepted as a manual of worship helpful in the public services
of the house of God, and contributing to the glory of the great Head of the Church.
If the use of a hymn and tune book in the congregations of the Church of God shall
anywise serve to perpetuate the good old practice of having all the people sing,
an important incidental end will have been gained. Artistic singing is very desira-
ble, but when it tends to discourage congregational singing, or leads to annoying
differences of opinion, it may become the occasion of grave spiritual evils in the
body of Christ. To avoid this, let all the people be heartily invited to take an unre-
strained part in this feature of divine worship, led by one or more whose artistic
training is qualification for so important a service.
The work assigned to the Committee is one which has occasioned much per-
plexity and considerable labor ; but it has been conducted with increasing satisfac-
tion and with the growing consciousness of rendering an important service to the
churches. The result of the Committee's labors is now confidently commended to
the Brotherhood, in the assured expectation that it will meet a want which has
been widely felt, and with the fervent prayer that the blessing of Him who inhabits
the praises of Israel may attend our labors and sanctify our songs.

We haste to Zion's hill,
And there our vows and honors pay.

Adorned with wondrous grace, "Peace to this sacred house I"

To thy pastures fair and large,
Heavenly Shepherd, lead thy charge,
And my couch, with tenderest care,
'Mid the springing grass prepare.
2 When I faint with summer's heat,
Thou shalt guide my weary feet
To the streams that, still and slow,
Through the verdant meadows flow.
3 Safe the dreary vale I tread,
By the shades of death o'erspread,
With thy rod and staff supplied,
This my guard — and that my guide.
4 Constant to my latest end,
Thou my footsteps shalt attend;
And shalt bid thy hallowed dome
Yield me an eternal home.

Twilight. S. F. SMITH.
Softly fades the twilight ray
Of the holy Sabbath day;
Gently as life's setting sun,
When the Christian's course is run.
2 Peace is on the world abroad;
'Tis the holy peace of Grod —
Symbol of the peace within
When the spirit rests from sin.
3 Still the Spirit lingers near,
Where the evening worshiper
Seeks communion with the skies,
Pressing onward to the prize.
4 Saviour! may our Sabbaths be
Days of joy and peace in thee,
Till in heaven our souls repose,
Where the Sabbath ne'er shall close.

Thy gracious presence here afford,
And send thy people joyful home;
Of thee our King, oh, may we sing,
And none with such a theme be dumb.
3 Oh, hasten, Lord, the day when those
Who know thee here shall see thy face ;
When suffering shall for ever close,
And they shall reach their destined place;
Then shall they rest, supremely blest,
Eternal debtors to thy grace.

When, streaming from the eastern skies,
The morning light salutes mine eyes,
O Sun of righteousness divine,
On me with beams of mercy shine !
Oh, chase the clouds of guilt away,
And turn my darkness into day.
2 And when to heaven's all-glorious King
My morning-sacrifice I bring,
And, mourning o'er my guilt and shame,
Ask mercy in my Saviour's name;
Then, Jesus, cleanse me with thy blood,
And be my Advocate with God.
3 When each day's scenes and labors close,
And wearied nature seeks repose,
With pardoning mercy richly blest,
Guard me, my Saviour, while I rest;
And, as each morning sun shall rise,
Oh, lead me onward to the skies !

Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in his courts to-day:
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.

Through the dear Redeemer's name,
Show thy reconciling face —
Take away our sin and shame;
From our worldly cares set free, —
May we rest this day in thee.
3 Here we come thy name to praise;
Let us feel thy presence near;
May thy glory meet our eyes,
While we in thy house appear:
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast.
4 May thy gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
Make the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief for all complaints:
Thus let all our Sabbaths prove,
Till we rest in thee above.

O dat of rest and gladness,
0 day of joy and light,
O balm of care and sadness,
Most beautiful, most bright;
On thee, the high and lowly,
Bending before the throne,
Sing, Holy, Holy, Holy,
To the Great Three in One.
2 To-day on weary nations
The heavenly manna falls;
To holy convocations
The silver trumpet calls,
Where gospel light is glowing
With pure and radiant beams,
And living water flowing
With soul-refreshing streams.
3 New graces ever gaining
From this our day of rest,
We reach the rest remaining
To spirits of the blest.
To Holy Ghost be praises,
To Father and to Son;
The Church her voice upraises
To thee, blest Three in One.

Thine holy day's returning,
Our hearts exult to see;
And with devotion burning,
Ascend, O God, to thee !
To-day with purest pleasure,
Our thoughts from earth withdraw.
We search for heavenly treasure,
We learn thy holy law.
2 We join to sing thy praises,
Lord of the Sabbath day;
Each voice in gladness raises
Its loudest, sweetest lay !
Thy richest mercies sharing,
Inspire us with thy love,
By grace our souls preparing
For nobler praise above.
Communion in love.

Hail, happy day I thou day of holy rest,
What heavenly peace and transport fill
our breast I
When Christ, the God of grace, in love
descends,
And kindly holds communion with his friends.
2 Let earth and all its vanities be gone,
Move from my sight, and leave my soul alone ;
Its flattering, fading glories I despise,
And to immortal beauties turn my eyes.
3 Fain would I mount and penetrate the
skies,
And on my Saviour's glories fix my eyes :
Oh, meet my rising soul, thou God of love,
And waft it to the blissful realms above !

■*• *» Psalm 1 1 8. I. watt;
This is the day the Lord hath made ;
He calls the hours his own ;
Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad,
And praise surround the throne.
2 To-day he rose, and left the dead,
And Satan's empire fell ;
To-day the saints his triumph spread,
And all his wonders tell.
3 Hosanna to the anointed King,
To David's only Son ;
Help us, 0 Lord ; descend, and bring
Salvation from thy throne.
4 Blest be the Lord who comes to men
With messages of grace ;
Who comes, in God his Father's name,
To save our sinful race.
5 Hosanna in the highest strains
The church on earth can raise ;
The highest heavens, in which he reigns,
Shall give him nobler praise.

*»V Psalm 122. i. watts.
How did my heart rejoice to hear
My friends devoutly say, —
"In Zion let us all appear,
And keep the solemn day."
2 I love her gates, I love the road ;
The Church, adorned with grace,
Stands like a palace built for God,
To show his milder face.
3 Up to her courts, with joys unknown,
The holy tribes repair ;
The Son of David holds his throne,
And sits in judgment there.
4 Peace be within this sacred place,
And joy a constant guest ;
With holy gifts and heavenly grace,
Be her attendants blest.
5 My soul shall pray for Zion still,
While life or breath remains ;
There my best friends, my kindred dwell,
There God, my Saviour reigns.

Through all thy temple shine;

Sing we the song of those who stand
Around the eternal throne,
Of every kindred, clime, and land,
A multitude unknown.
2 Life's poor distinctions vanish here:
To-day the young, the old,
Our Saviour and his flock appear
One Shepherd and one fold.
3 Toil, trial, sufferings still await
On earth the pilgrim throng;
Yet learn we in our low estate
The Church Triumphant's song.
4 "Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain," —
Cry the redeemed above,
" Blessing and honor to obtain,
And everlasting love ! "
5 "Worthy the Lamb," on earth we sing,
"Who died our souls to save !
Henceforth, O Death ! where is thy sting ?
Thy victory, O Grave ! "
WTC Psalm 122. H. F. LYTE.
With joy we hail the sacred day
Which God hath called his own;
With joy the summons we obey
To worship at his throne.
2 Thy chosen temple, Lord, how fair I
Where willing votaries throng
To breathe the humble, fervent prayer,
And pour the choral song.
3 Spirit of grace ! oh, deign to dwell
Within thy church below;
Make her in holiness excel,
With pure devotion glow.
4 Let peace within her walls be found;
Let all her sons unite
To spread with grateful zeal around
Her clear and shining light.
5 Great God, we hail the sacred day
Which thou hast called thine own;
With joy the summons we obey
To worship at thy throne.
UfJ " The Rising Day." 1. watts.
Once more, my soul, the rising day
Salutes thy waking eyes;
Once more, my voice, thy tribute pay
To him that rules the skies.
2 Night unto night his name repeats,
The day renews the sound,
Wide as the heaven on which he sits
To turn the seasons round.
3 'Tis he supports my mortal frame;
My tongue shall speak his praise;
My sins would rouse his wrath to flame,
And yet his wrath delays.
4 Great God, let all my hours be thine,
While I enjoy the light;
Then shall my sun in smiles decline,
And bring a pleasant night.

» O T^c Sanctuary.
How charming is the place
Where my Redeemer, God,
Unvails the beauty of his face,
And sheds his love abroad !
2 Not the fair palaces,
To which the great resort,
Are once to be compared with this,
Where Jesus holds his court.
3 Here on the mercy-seat,
With radiant glory crowned,
Our joyful eyes behold him sit
And smile on all around.
4 Give me, O Lord, a place
Within thy blest abode,
Among the children of thy grace,
The servants of my God.
*Wt/ Psalm 63. i.wat
My God ! permit my tongue
This joy, to call thee mine;
And let my early cries prevail
To taste thy love divine.
2 My thirsty fainting soul
Thy mercy doth implore;
Not travelers, in desert lands,
Can pant for water more.
3 For life, without thy love,
No relish can afford;
No joy can be compared to this, —
To serve and please the Lord.
4 In wakeful hours at night,
I call my God to mind;
I think how wise thy counsels are,
And all thy dealings kind.
5 Since thou hast been my help,
To thee my spirit flies;
And, on thy watchful providence,
My cheerful hope relies.
6 The shadow of thy wings
My soul in safety keeps;
1 follow where my Father leads,
And he supports my steps.
d v Psalm 84. 1. wv
Welcome, sweet day of rest,
That saw the Lord arise !
Welcome to this reviving breast,
And these rejoicing eyes !
2 The King himself comes near,
And feasts his saints to-day;
Here may we sit and see him here,
And love, and praise, and pray.
3 One day, amid the place
Where my dear Lord hath been,
Is sweeter than ten thousand days
Within the tents of sin.
4 My willing soul would stay
In such a frame as this,
And sit and sing herself away
To everlasting bliss.

Praise ye the Lord; exalt his name,
While in his earthly courts ye wait,
Ye saints, that to his house belong,
Or stand attending at his gate.
2 Praise ye the Lord, the Lord is good;
To praise his name is sweet employ-
Israel he chose of old, and still
His church is his peculiar joy
3 Bless ye the Lord who taste his love,
People and priests exalt his name;
Among his saints he ever dwells;
His church is his Jerusalem.

"A nobler Rest."
P. DODDRIDGE.
44
Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love,
But there's a nobler rest above;
To that our longing souls aspire,
With cheerful hope and strong desire.
2 No more fatigue, no more distress,
Nor sin nor death shall reach the place;
No groans shall mingle with the songs
That warble from immortal tongues.
3 No rude alarms of raging foes,
No cares to break the long repose,
No midnight shade, no clouded sun,
But sacred, high, eternal noon.
4 O long-expected day, begin !
Dawn on these realms of woe and sin;
Fain would we leave this weary road,
And sleep in death, to rest with God.
Invocation.

*■" Morning. j. hutton.
My opening eyes with rapture see
The dawn of thy returning day;
My thoughts, 0 God, ascend to thee,
While thus my early vows I pay.
2 Oh, bid this trifling world retire,
And drive each carnal thought away;
Nor let me feel one vain desire —
One sinful thought through all the day.
3 Then, to thy courts when I repair,
My soul shall rise on joyful wing,
The wonders of thy love declare,
And join the strains which angels sing.
4-7
*• " Return, my soul!" j. stennett.
Another six days' work is done,
Another Sabbath is begun;
Return, my soul 1 enjoy thy rest,
Improve the day thy God hath blessed.
2 Oh, that our thoughts and thanks may rise,
As grateful incense to the skies;
And draw from heaven that sweet repose,
Which none, but he that feels it, knows.
45
Come, gracious Lord, descend and dwell,
By faith and love, in every breast;
Then shall we know, and taste, and feel
The joys that cannot be expressed.
2 Come, fill our hearts with inward strength, 3 This heavenly calm, within the breast,
Make our enlarged souls possess, Is the dear pledge of glorious rest,
Andlearnthe height, and breadth, and length Which for the church of God remains —
Of thine eternal love and grace. The end of cares, the end of pains.
3 Now to the God whose power can do 4 In holy duties, let the day,
More than our thoughts and wishes know, In holy pleasures, pass away;
Be everlasting honors done, How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend,
By all the Church, through Christ his Son. In hope of one that ne'er shall end.

How surely kept ! how richly fed !
Saviour of all in earth and sea,
How happy they who rest in thee !
3 Thy hand sets fast the mighty hills,
Thy voice the troubled ocean stills !
Evening and morning hymn thy praise,
And earth thy bounty wide displays.
4 The year is with thy goodness crowned;
Thy clouds drop wealth the world around;
Through thee the deserts laugh and sing,
And nature smiles and owns her king.

Such as did the Father move :

Loved the world, and gave his Son.
3 Sing the Son's amazing love :
How he left the realms above,
Took our nature and our place,
Lived and died to save our race.

With our wretched hearts he strove,
Took the things of Christ, and showed

Blest hour ! when mortal man retires
To hold communion with his God,
To send to heaven his warm desires,
And listen to the sacred word.

Their empire o'er his anxious breast,
While all around, the calm divine
Proclaims the holy day of rest.
3 Blest hour ! when God himself draws
nigh,
Well pleased his people's voice to hear,
To hush the penitential sigh,
And wipe away the mourner's tear.
4 Blest hour! for where the Lord resorts,
Foretastes of future bliss are given ;
And mortals find his earthly courts
The house of God, the gate of Heaven !

Ah, Lord ! behold us at thy feet ;

May we give them, Lord, to thee ;
Cheered by hope, and daily strengthened,
May we run, nor weary be,
Till thy glory
Without cloud in heaven we see.

6 0 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.
"O "The sacred 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.
D 4 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 !"

I A " God pities." p. Doddridge.
Our heavenly Father calls.
And Christ invites us near;
With both, our friendship shall be sweet,
And our communion dear.
2 God pities all our griefs:
He pardons every day;
Almighty to protect our souls,
And wise to guide our way.
3 How large his bounties are !
What various stores of good,
Diffused from our Redeemer's hand,
And purchased with his blood I
4 Jesus, our living Head,
We bless thy faithful care;
Our Advocate before the throne,
And our Forerunner there.
5 Here fix, my roving heart 1
Here wait, my warmest love !
Till the communion be complete,
In nobler scenes above.

• "• "The throne of grace." ]. newton.
Behold the throne of grace !
The promise calls me near;
There Jesus shows a smiling face,
And waits to answer prayer.
2 That rich atoning blood,
Which sprinkled round I see,
Provides for those who come to God
An all-prevailing plea.
3 My soul ! ask what thou wilt;
Thou canst not be too bold:
.Since his own blood for thee he spilt,
What else can he withhold ?
4 Thine image, Lord, bestow,
Thy presence and thy love;
I ask to serve thee here below,
And reign with thee above.
5 Teach me to live by faith;
Conform my will to thine:
Let me victorious be in death,
And then in glory shine.

M. BRUCE.
75
Where high the heavenly temple stands,
The house of God not made with hands,
A great High Priest our nature wears, —
The Guardian of mankind appears.
2 Though now ascended up on high,
He bends on earth a brother's eye;
Partaker of the human name,
He knows the frailty of our frame.
3 Our Fellow-sufferer yet retains
A fellow-feeling of our pains ;
And still remembers, in the skies,
His tears, his agonies, and cries.
4 In every pang that rends the heart,
The Man of Sorrows had a part;
He sympathizes with our grief,
And to the sufferer sends relief.
5 With boldness, therefore, at the throne,
Let us make all our sorrows known;
And ask the aid of heavenly power,
To help us in the evil hour.
I" "What thou will." j. newton.
And dost thou say, "Ask what thou wilt?"
Lord, I would seize the golden hour:
1 pray to be released from guilt,
And freed from sin and Satan's power.
2 More of thy presence, Lord, impart ;
More of thine image let me bear :
Erect thy throne within my heart,
And reign without a rival there.
3 Give me to read my pardon sealed,
And from thy joy to draw my strength:
Oh, be thy boundless love revealed
In all its height and breadth and length.
4 Grant these requests — I ask no more,
But to thy care the rest resign :
Sick, or in health, or rich, or poor,
All shall be well, if thou art mine.
■ • Prayers hindered. w. cowper.
What various hindrances we meet
In coming to a mercy-seat !
Yet who that knows the worth of prayer
But wishes to be often there ?
2 Prayer makes the darkened cloud with-
draw;
Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw,
Gives exercise to faith and love,
Brings every blessing from above.
3 Restraining prayer, we cease to fight ;
Prayer makes the Christian's armor bright ;
And Satan trembles when he sees
The weakest saint upon his knees.
4 Have you no words ? ah ! think again ;
Words flow apace when you complain,
And fill a fellow-creature's ear
With the sad tale of all your care.
5 Were half the breath thus vainly spent
To heaven in supplication sent,
Our cheerful song would oftener be,
"Hear what the Lord hath done for me!"

To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Be honor, praise, and glory given,
By all on earth, and all in heaven.
^4 Psalm 117. 1. watts.
From all that dwell below the skies,
Let the Creator's praise arise :
Let the Redeemer's name be sung,
Through every land, by every tongue.
2 Eternal are thy mercies, Lord !
Eternal truth attends thy word :
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.
i CJ Psalm 100. 1. watts.
Before Jehovah's awful throne,
Ye nations ! bow with sacred joy :
Know that the Lord is God alone :
He can create, and he destroy.
2 His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men ;
And when, like wandering sheep, we strayed,
He brought us to his fold again.
3 We are his people, we his care, —
Our souls, and all our mortal frame :
"What lasting honors shall we rear,
Almighty Maker ! to thy name ?
4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs,
High as the heavens our voices raise ;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.
5 Wide as the world is thy command,
Yast as eternity, thy love ;
Firm as a rock thy truth must stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move.
Psalm 100.
W. KETHE.
79
All people that on earth do dwell,
Siug to the Lord with cheerful voice:
Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell,
Come ye before him and rejoice.
2 Know that the Lord is God indeed ;
Without our aid he did us make :
We are his flock, he doth us feed,
And for his sheep he doth us take.

As mountains their foundations keep:
Wise are the wonders of thy hands;
Thy judgments are a mighty deep.

Whence all our hope and comfort springs;

Fly to the shadow of thy wings.

We shall be fed with sweet repast;

And brings salvation to our taste.

And in thy light our souls shall see
The glories promised in thy word.

Throughout the world exalts thy praise;

Praise ye the Lord : my heart shall join
In work so pleasant, so divine ;
Now while the flesh is mine abode,
And when my soul ascends to God.
2 Praise shall employ my noblest powers,
While immortality endures ;
My days of praise shall ne'er be past,
While life, and thought, and being last.
3 Happy the man whose hopes rely
On Israel's God : he made the sky,
And earth, and seas, with all their train ;
And none shall find his promise vain.
4 His truth for ever stands secure ;
He saves the oppressed, he feeds the poor ;
He helps the stranger in distress,
The widow and the fatherless.
5 He loves his saints, he knows them well,
But turns the wicked down to hell ;
Thy God, 0 Zion, ever reigns ;
Praise him in everlasting strains.
O I Psalm 147. I. watts.
Praise ye the Lord ! — 'tis good to raise
Our hearts and voices in his praise ;
His nature and his works invite
To make this duty our delight.
2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem,
And gathers nations to his name;
His mercy melts the stubborn soul,
And makes the broken spirit whole.
3 He formed the stars-those heavenly flames,
He counts their numbers, calls their names:
His wisdom 's vast, and knows no bound, —
A deep, where all our thoughts are drowned.
4 Great is our Lord, and great his might,
And all his glories infinite :
He crowns the meek, rewards the just,
And treads the wicked to the dust.
5 But saints are lovely in his sight ;
He views his children with delight ;
He sees their hope, he knows their fear,
And looks, and loves his image there.
OO Psalm 29. 1. watts.
Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame,
Give to the Lord renown and power ;
Ascribe due honors to his name,
And his eternal might adore.
2 The Lord proclaims his power aloud,
O'er all the ocean and the land;
His voice divides the watery cloud,
And lightnings blaze at his command.
3 The Lord sits Sovereign on the flood;
The Thunderer reigns for ever King ;
But makes his church his blest abode,
Where we his awful glories sing.
4 In gentler language, there the Lord
The counsels of his grace imparts:
Amid the raging storm, his word
Speaks peace and courage to our hearts.

2 The wings of every hour shall bear
Some thankful tribute to thine ear;
And every setting sun shall see
New works of duty done for thee.
3 Thy works with sovereign glory shine,
And speak thy majesty divine:
Let Zion in her courts proclaim
The sound and honor of thy name.
4 But who can speak thy wondrous deeds ?
Thy greatness all our thoughts exceeds:
Yast and unsearchable thy ways;
Yast and immortal be thy praise.

Let all cry aloud and honor the Son;
The praises of Jesus the angels proclaim,
Fall down on their faces and worship the
Lamb.
4 Then let us adore and give him his right,
All glory, and power, and wisdom and
might;
All honor and blessing, with angels above,
And thanks never ceasing, and infinite love.

"O " Worship the King." r. grant.
Oh, worship the King, all-glorious above,
And gratefully sing his wonderful love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of
days,
Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with
praise.
2 Oh, tell of his might and sing of his
grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy
space ;
His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-
clouds form,
And dark is his path on the wings of the
storm.
3 Thy bountiful care what tongue can
recite ?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light,
It streams from the hills, it descends to the
plain,
And sweetly distils in the dew and the
rain.
4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as
frail,
In thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail ;
Thy mercies how tender ! how firm to the
end!
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and
Friend.

Praise the Lord, for he is kind,
For his mercies shall endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
Let us sound his name abroad,
For of gods he is the God
Who by wisdom did create
Heaven's expanse and all its state; —
2 Did the solid earth ordain
How to rise above the main;
Who, by his commanding might,
Filled the new-made world with light:
Caused the golden-tressed sun
All the day his course to run;
And the moon to shine by night,
'Mid her spangled sisters bright.
3 All his creatures God doth feed,
His full hand supplies their need;
Let us, therefore, warble forth
His high majesty and worth.

Gathered out of every land,
As the people of his choice,
Plucked from the destroyer's hand.
2 In the wilderness astray
Hither, thither, while they roam,
Hungry, fainting by the way,
Far from refuge, shelter, home, —
Then unto the Lord they cry;
He inclines a gracious ear,
Sends deliverance from on high,
Rescues them from all their fear.
3 To a pleasant land he brings,
Where the vine and olive grow,
Where from flowery hills the springs
Through luxuriant valleys flow.
Oh, that men would praise the Lord
For his goodness to their race;
For the wonders of his word,
And the riches of his grace.

God eternal, Lord of all !
Lowly at thy feet we fall:
All the world cloth worship thee;
We amidst the throng would be.
All the holy angels cry,
Hail, thrice-holy, God most high !
Lord of all the heavenly powers,
Be the same loud anthem ours.
2 Glorified apostles raise,
Night and day, continual praise ;
Hast thou not a mission too
For thy children here to do ?
With the prophets' goodly line
We in mystic bond combine ;
For thou hast to babes revealed
Things that to the wise were sealed.
3 Martyrs, in a noble host,
Of thy cross are heard to boast;
Since so bright the crown they wear,
We with them thy cross would bear.
All thy church, in heaven and earth,

Seated on the judgment-throne,
Number us among thine own 1

Hail, the everlasting Lord !
Thee with thankful hearts we prove —
God of power, and God of love !

Take, oh, take our sins away !

Art with thy great Father one;

When devotion fills the breast,
When we dwell within thy house,
Hear thy word, and pay our vows ;

Sound Jehovah's praise on high !
4 Praise to God, the great Creator,

2 He gave to the light its beneficent

He controlleth the councils of senates

From his throne in the clouds the light-

And he ruleth the factions that rage

Him, from whom all good proceeds,
Let earth and heaven adore.
2 Publish, spread to "all around,
The great Immanuel's name ;
Let the gospel trumpet sound,
The Prince of Peace proclaim !
Praise him, every tuneful string ;

All the power of music bring,
The music of the heart.
3 Him, in whom they move and live,

Let all things praise the Lord.

Songs of praise the angels sang,
Heaven with hallelujahs rang,
When Jehovah's work begun,
When he spake, and it was done.
Songs of praise awoke the morn,
When the Prince of Peace was born ;
Songs of praise arose, when he
Captive led captivity.
2 Heaven and earth must pass away —
Songs of praise shall crown that day ;
God will make new heavens and earth —
Songs of praise shall hail their birth.
And shall man alone be dumb,
Till that glorious kingdom come ?
No ; the Church delights to raise
Psalms and hymns and songs of praise.
3 Saints below, with heart and voice,
Still in songs of praise rejoice ;
Learning here, by faith and love,
Songs of praise to sing above.
Borne upon their latest breath
Songs of praise shall conquer death ;
Then, amid eternal joy,
Songs of praise their powers employ.

No mortal can sustain the sight.
2 His terrors keep the world in awe ;
His justice guards his holy law ;
Yet love reveals a smiling face,
And truth and promise seal the grace.
3 Through all his works his wisdom
shines,
And baffles Satan's deep designs ;
His power is sovereign to fulfill
The noblest counsels of his will.

To him, enthroned above all height,
Let saints their humble worship bring.

Still may we stand before thy face,

And let thy happy child
Behold, without a cloud between,

Softly now the light of day
Fades upon my sight away;
Free from care, from labor free,
Lord, I would commune with thee.
2 Thou, whose all-pervading eye
Naught escapes without, within,
Pardon each infirmity,
Open fault, and secret sin.
3 Soon, for me, the light of day
Shall for ever pass away;
Then, from sin and sorrow free,
Take me, Lord, to dwell with thee.
4 Thou who, sinless, yet hast known
All of man's infirmity;
Then from thine eternal throne,
Jesus, look with pitying eye.

A *J\J "Foretastes.'' j. Montgomery.
For the mercies of the day,
For this rest upon'our way,
Thanks to thee alone be given,
Lord of earth and King of heaven !
2 Cold our services have been,
Mingled every prayer with sin:
But thou canst and wilt forgive;
By thy grace alone we live.
3 While this thorny path we tread,
May thy love our footsteps lead ;
When our journey here is past,
May we rest with thee at last.
4 Let these earthly Sabbaths prove
Foretastes of our joys above;
While their steps thy children bend
To the rest which knows no end..

Fading, still fading, the last beam is shining,
Father in heaven, the day is declining;
Safety and innocence fly with the light,
Temptation and danger walk forth with the night:
From the fall of the shade till the morning bells chime,
Shield me from danger, save me from crime! — Ref.
2 Father in heaven, oh, hear when we call!
Hear, for Christ's sake, who is Saviour of all;
Feeble and fainting, we trust in thy might;
In doubting and darkness, thy love be our light ;
Let us sleep on thy breast while the night taper burns,
Wake in thine arms when morning returns. — Ref.

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

Peace shines and smiles on all below ;
The plain, the stream, the wood, the hill,
All fair with evening's setting glow.
3 Season of rest ! the tranquil soul
Feels the sweet calm, and melts to love;
And while these sacred moments roll,
Faith sees the smiling heaven above.

Our pilgrimage will soon be trod ;
And we shall join the ceaseless song,
The endless Sabbath of our God.

His words of grace revoke ;
They stand secure Not Zion's hill

2 The mountains melt away
When once the Judge appears,
And sun and moon decay,
That measure mortal years ;
But still the same,
In radiant lines
The promise shines
Through all the flame.
Their harmony shall sound
Through my attentive ears,
When thunders cleave the ground
And dissipate the spheres;
Midst all the shock
Of that dread scene,
I stand serene,
Thy word my rock.

Stastd up, and bless the Lord,
Ye people of his choice ;
Stand up and bless the Lord your God,
With heart and soul and voice.
2 Though high above all praise,
Above all blessing high,
Who would not fear his holy name,
And laud, and magnify ?
3 Oh, for the living flame
From his own altar brought,
To touch our lips, our souls inspire,
And wing to heaven our thought !
4 God is our strength and song,
And his salvation ours :
Then be his love in Christ proclaimed,
With all our ransomed powers.
5 Stand up, and bless the Lord ;
The Lord your God adore ;
Stand up, and bless his glorious name,
Henceforth, for evermore.
At) I 8s, 7s, 4s. "Lord, keep us." T. keli
Keep us, Lord, oh, keep us ever :
Vain our hope, if left by thee ;
We are thine ; oh, leave us never,
Till thy glorious face we see ;
Then to praise thee
Through a bright eternity.
2 Precious is thy word of promise,
Precious to thy people here ;
Never take thy presence from us,
Jesus, Saviour, still be near :
Living, dying,
May thy name our spirits cheer.

The heavens declare thy glory, Lord 1
la every star thy wisdom shines;
But, when our eyes behold thy word,
We read thy name in fairer lines.
2 The rolling sun, the changing light,
And nights and days thy power confess;
But the blest volume thou hast writ
Reveals thy justice and thy grace.
3 Sun, moon, and stars convey thy praise
Bound the whole earth, and never stand ;
So, when thy truth began its race,
It touched and glanced on every land.
4 Nor shall thy spreading gospel rest,
Till through the world thy truth has run,
Till Christ has all the nations blessed,
That see the light, or feel the sun.
5 Great Sun of righteousness ! arise;
Bless the dark world with heavenly light;
Thy gospel makes the simple wise,
Thy laws are pure, thy judgments right.
6 Thy noblest wonders here we view,
In souls renewed, and sins forgiven:
Lord ! cleanse my sins, my soul renew,
And make thy word my guide to heaven.

'Twas by an order from the Lord
The ancient prophets spoke his word !
His Spirit did their tongues inspire,
And warmed their hearts with heavenly fire.
2 The works and wonders which they wrought
Confirmed the messages they brought:
The prophet's pen succeeds his breath,
To save the holy words from death.
3 Great God, mine eyes with pleasure look
On the dear volume of thy book;
There my Redeemer's face I see,
And read his name who died for me.

Makes his eternal counsels known:
Where love in all its glory shines,
And truth is drawn in fairest lines.
2 Here sinners, of an humble frame,
May taste his grace, and learn his name;
May read, in characters of blood,
The wisdom, power, and grace of God.
3 The prisoner here may break his chains;
The weary rest from all his pains;
The captive feel his bondage cease;
The mourner find the way of peace.
4 Here faith reveals to mortal eyes
A brighter world beyond the skies;
Here shines the light which guides our way
From earth to realms of endless day.
5 Oh, grant us grace, Almighty Lord,
To read and mark thy holy word;
Its truth with meekness to receive,
And by its holy precepts live.
-*- O A Psalm 19. R. GRANT.

Yet shine not to thy praise, O Lord,

Its truths divine and precepts wise,
In each a heavenly beam I see,
And every beam conducts to thee.
3 Almighty Lord, the sun shall fail,
The moon forget her nightly tale,
And deepest silence hush on high
The radiant chorus of the sky; —

Unmoved, amid the wreck of spheres,
Thy word shall shine in cloudless day,
When heaven and earth have passed

AOO Psalm 119. I. WATTS.
My soul lies cleaving to the dust;
Lord, give me life divine;
From vain desires and every lust,
Turn off these eyes of mine.
2 I need the influence of thy grace
To speed me in thy way,
Lest I should loiter in my race
Or turn my feet astray.
3 Are not thy mercies sovereign still,
And thou a faithful God ?
Wilt thou not grant me warmer zeal
To run the heavenly road ?
4 Does not my heart thy precepts love,
And long to see thy face ?
And yet how slow my spirits move
Without enlivening grace !
5 Then shall I love thy gospel more,
And ne'er forget thy word,
When I have felt its quickening power
To draw me near the Lord.
«■"• Dull of Heart. 1. watts.
Laden with guilt, and full of fears,
I fly to thee, my Lord,
And not a glimpse of hope appears,
But in thy written word.
2 This is the field where hidden lies
The pearl of price unknown ;
That merchant is divinely wise,
Who makes the pearl his own.
3 This is the judge that ends the strife,
Where wit and reason fail;
My guide to everlasting life,
Through all this gloomy vale.
4 Oh, may thy counsels, mighty God !
My roving feet command;
Nor I forsake the happy road,
That leads to thy right hand.
AvJO Psalm 119. 1. watts.
Oh, how I love thy holy law !
'Tis daily my delight;
And thence my meditations draw
Divine advice by night.
2 How doth thy word my heart engage !
How well employ my tongue !
And in my tiresome pilgrimage
Yields me a heavenly song.
3 Am I a stranger, or at home,
'Tis my perpetual feast:
Not honey dropping from the comb,
So much allures the taste.
4 No treasures so enrich the mind,
Nor shall thy word be sold
For loads of silver well-refined,
Nor heaps of choicest gold.
5 When nature sinks, and spirits droop,
Thy promises of grace
Are pillars to support my hope,
And there I write thy praise.
•*-W Psalm 119. 1. watts.
Lokd ! I have made thy word my choice,
My lasting heritage;
There shall my noblest powers rejoice,
My warmest thoughts engage.
2 I' 11 read the histories of thy love,
And keep thy laws in sight,
While through the promises I rove,
With ever-fresh delight.
3 'T is a broad land of wealth unknown,
Where springs of life arise ;
Seeds of immortal bliss are sown,
And hidden glory lies : —
4 The best relief that mourners have;
It makes our sorrows blest: —
Our fairest hope beyond the grave,
And our eternal rest.

The spacious firmament on high,
With all the blue ethereal sky,
And spangled heavens, a shining frame,
Their great Original proclaim:
The unwearied sun, from day to day,
Does his Creator's power display;
And publishes to every land
The work of an almighty hand.
2 Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The moon takes up the wondrous tale;
And nightly, to the listening earth,
Repeats the story of her birth ;
While all the stars that round her burn,
And all the planets in their turn,
Confirm the tidings as they roll,
And spread the truth from pole to pole.
3 What though in solemn silence, all
Move round the dark terrestrial ball, —
What though no real voice nor sound
Amid their radiant orbs be found, —
In reason's ear they all rejoice,
And utter forth a glorious voice,
For ever singing as they shine, —
"The hand that made us is divine."

To hail thee, sovereign of the year 1
Wide as the wheels of nature roll,
Thy hand supports and guides the whole,
The sun is taught by thee to rise,
And darkness when to vail the skies.
2 The flowery spring at thy command,
Perfumes the air, adorns the land;
The summer rays with vigor shine,
To raise the corn, to cheer the vine.
Thy hand, in autumn, richly pours,
Through all our coasts redundant stores:
And winters, softened by thy care,
No more the face of horror wear.
3 Seasons and months, and weeks and days,
Demand successive songs of praise ;
Arid be the grateful homage paid,
With morning light and evening shade.
Here in thy house let incense rise,
And circling Sabbaths bless our eyes,
Till to those lofty heights we soar,
Where days and years revolve no more.

For all his kindness shown ?
My feet shall visit thine abode,
My songs address thy throne.

My offering shall be paid;
There shall my zeal perform the vows,
My soul in anguish made.

Thou ever blessed God !

To thee my thoughts would soar:
Thy mercy o'er my life has flowed;
That mercy I adore.
2 In each event of life how clear
Thy ruling hand I see !
Each blessing to my soul more dear
Because conferred by thee.
In every joy that cfowns 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 rising and my resting hours,
My heart and flesh, with all their powers.
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.
3 Within thy circling power I stand;
On every side I find thy hand;
Awake, asleep, at home, abroad,
I am surrounded still with God.
4 Amazing knowledge, vast and great !
What large extent ! what lofty height !
My soul, with all the powers I boast,
Is in the boundless prospect lost.

And praises die upon their tongues.

And mingling with his meanest works,
My humble, grateful tribute bring.

God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform ;
He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill,
He treasures up his bright designs,
And works his sovereign will.
3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take !
The clouds ye so much dread,
Are 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;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
6 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.

Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise thee
For the bliss thy love bestows;
For the pardoning grace that saves me,
And the peace that from it flows:
Help, 0 God, my weak endeavor;
This dull soul to rapture raise;
Thou must light the flame, or never
Can my soul be warmed to praise.
2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee,
Wretched wanderer, far astray;
Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee
From the paths of death away;
Praise, with love's devoutest feeling,
Him who saw thy guilt-born fear,
And, the light of hope revealing,
Bade the blood-stained cross appear.
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;
And, since words can never measure,
Let my life show forth thy praise.

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.
2 There is welcome for the sinner,
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Saviour;
There is healing in his blood.
3 For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of man's mind;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
4 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.

Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work his woe;
His craft and power are great,
And armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.

Our striving would be losing;
Were not the right man on our side,
The man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be ?
Christ Jesus, it is he;
Lord Sabaoth is his name,
From age to age the same,
And he must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us ;
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim, —
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo ! his doom is sure, —
One little word shall fell him !

While shepherds watched their flocks by
All seated on the ground; [night,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around.
2 "Fear not," said he, — for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind, —
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring,
To you and all mankind.
3 "To you in David's town this day,
Is born of David's line,
The Saviour, who is Christ, the Lord,
And this shall be the sign; —
4 "The heavenly babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid."
5 Thus spake the seraph — and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels, praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song: —
6 "All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace;
Good-will henceforth from heaven to men
Begin, and never cease 1 "

From every host, from every gem;

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 !

When Jordan hushed his waters still,
And silence slept on Zion's hill;
When Salem's shepherds thro' the night
Watched o'er their flocks by starry light;
2 Hark ! from the midnight hills around,
A voice of more than mortal sound
In distant hallelujahs stole,
Wild murmuring o'er the raptured soul.
3 On wheels of light, on wings of flame,
The glorious hosts to Zion came;
High heaven with songs of triumph rung,
While thus they struck their harps and sung :
4 "O Zion! lift thy raptured eye;
The long expected hour is nigh:
The joys of nature rise again,
The Prince of Salem comes to reign.
5 "He comes to cheer the trembling heart,
Bids Satan and his host depart;
Again the Daystar gilds the gloom,
Again the bowers of Eden bloom."
6 O Zion ! lift thy raptured eye;
The long-expected hour is nigh;
The joys of nature rise again:
The Prince of Salem comes to reign.

All praise to thee, eternal Lord,
Clothed in a garb of flesh and blood;
Choosing a manger for thy throne,
While worlds on worlds are thine alone !
2 Once did the skies before thee bow;
A virgin's arms contain thee now;
Angels, who did in thee rejoice,
Now listen for thine infant voice.
3 A little child, thou art our guest,
That weary ones in thee may rest;
Forlorn and lowly is thy birth,
That we may rise to heaven from earth.
4 Thou comest in the darksome night
To make us children of the light;
To make us, in the realms divine,
Like thine own angels round thee shine.
5 All this for us thy love hath done;
By this to thee our love is won;
For this we tune our cheerful lays,
And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise.

Before the heavens were spread abroad,
From everlasting was the Word;
With God he was, the Word was God !
And must divinely be adored.
2 Ere sin was born, or Satan fell,
He led the host of morning stars:
His generation who can tell,
Or count the number of his years ?
3 But lo, he leaves those heavenly forms:
The Word descends and dwells in clay,
That he may converse hold with worms,
Dressed in such feeble flesh as they.
4 Mortals with joy behold his face,
The eternal Father's only Son:
How full of truth, how full of grace,
When in his eyes the Godhead shone !
5 Archangels leave their high abode,
To learn new mysteries here, and tell
The love of our descending God,
The glories of Immanuel.

Bringing with him from above
Holy peace and holy love.

It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold ;
" Peace to the earth, good-will to man,
From heaven's all-gracions King : "
The earth in solemn stillness lay,
To hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they
With peaceful wings unfurled ; [come,
And still celestial music floats
O'er all the weary world ;
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on heavenly wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds,
The blessed angels sing.
3 0 ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way,
With painful steps and slow ; —
Look up ! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing ;
Oh, rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing !
4 For lo ! the days are hastening on,
By prophet-bards foretold,
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold !
When peace shall over all the earth
Its final splendors fling,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing !
'•^f 7S, D. " All hail the morn J '" German.
Hail the night, all hail the morn,
When the Prince of Peace was born !
When, amid the wakeful fold,
Tidings good the angels told
Now our solemn chant we raise
Duly to the Saviour's praise
Now with carol hymns we bless
Christ the Lord, our righteousness.
2 While resounds the joyful cry,
" Glory be to God on high,
Peace on earth, good-will to men ! "
Gladly we respond, " Amen ! "
Thus we greet this holy day,
Pouring forth our festive lay ;
Thus we tell, with saintly mirth,
Of Immanuel's wondrous birth.

How sweetly flowed the gospel sound
From lips of gentleness and grace,
When listening thousands gathered round,
And joy and gladness filled the place !
2 From heaven he came, of heaven he spoke,
To heaven he led his followers' way ;
Dark clouds of gloomy night he broke,
Unvailing an immortal day.
3 " Come, wanderers, to my Father's home,
Come, all ye weary ones, and rest:"
Yes, sacred Teacher, we will come,
Obey thee, love thee, and be blest!
4 Decay then, tenements of dust;
Pillars of earthly pride, decay:
A nobler mansion waits the just ,
And Jesus has prepared the way.
ttOO "Holy, harmless.'" A. c. coxe.
How beauteous were the marks divine,
That in thy meekness used to shine,
That lit thy lonely pathway, trod
In wondrous love, O Son of God !
2 Oh, who like thee, so calm, so bright,
So pure, so made to live in fight ?
Oh, who like thee did ever go
So patient through a world of woe ?
3 Oh, who like thee so humbly bore
The scorn, the scoffs of men, before?
So meek, forgiving, godlike, fiigh,
So glorious in humility ?
4 Even death , which sets the prisoner free ,
Was pang, and scoff, and scorn to thee;
Yet love through all thy torture glowed,
And mercy with thy life-blood flowed.
5 Oh, in thy fight be mine to go,
Illuming all my way of woe !
And give me ever on the road
To trace thy footsteps, Son of God.
™ww " He healed them."1 j. Montgomery.
When, like a stranger on our sphere,
The lowly Jesus wandered here,
Where'er he went, affliction fled,
And sickness reared her fainting head
2 The eye that rolled in irksome night,
Beheld his face — for God is light;
The opening ear, the loosened tongue,
His precepts heard, his praises sung.
3 With bounding steps the halt and lame,
To hail their great Deliverer came;
O'er the cold grave he bowed his head,
He spake the word, and raised the dead.
4 Despairing madness, dark and wild,
In his inspiring presence smiled;
The storm of horror ceased to roll,
And reason lightened through the soul.
5 Through paths of loving-kindness led,
Where Jesus triumphed we would tread;
To all, with willing hands dispense
The gifts of our benevolence.

2 Such was thy truth and such thy zeal,
Such deference to thy Father's will,
Such love, and meekness so divine,
I would transcribe and make them mine.
3 Cold mountains and the midnight air
Witnessed the fervor of thy prayer;
The desert thy temptations knew,
Thy conflict and thy victory too.
4 Be thou my pattern; make me bear
More of thy gracious image here;
Then God, the Judge, shall own my name
Among the followers of the Lamb.

A weight of sorrow hung;
Yet no ungentle, murmuring word
Escaped thy silent tongue.

Thy friends unfaithful prove;
Unwearied in forgiveness still,
Thy heart could only love.
4 Oh, give us hearts to love like thee !
Like thee, 0 Lord, to grieve
Far more for others' sins, than all
The wrongs that we receive.

Behold, where, in a mortal form,
Appears each grace divine !

With mildest radiance shine.
2 To spread the rays of heavenly light,
To give the mourner joy,
To preach glad tidings to the poor,
Was his divine employ.
3 'Mid keen reproach and cruel scorn,
He meek and patient stood;
His foes, ungrateful, sought his life,
Who labored for their good.
4 In the last hour of deep distress,
Before his Father's throne,
With soul resigned he bowed and said, —
"Thy will, not mine, be done !"
5 Be Christ our pattern, and our guide,
His image may we bear;
Oh, may we tread his holy steps, —

When I survey the wondrous cross,
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord 1 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.

Jesus, whom angel hosts adore,
Became a man of griefs for me ;
In love, though rich, becoming poor,
That I through him enriched might be.
2 Though Lord of all, above, below,
He went to Olivet for me:
There drank my cup of wrath and woe,
When bleeding in Gethsemane.
3 The ever-blessed Son of God
Went up to Calvary for me;
There paid my debt, there bore my load.
In his own body on the tree.
4 Jesus, whose dwelling is the skies,
Went down into the grave for me;
There overcame my enemies,
There won the glorious victory.

Alas ! and did my Saviour bleed,
And did my Sovereign die?
Would he 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 my 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,

Hung on the curse'd tree,
And groaned away a dying life
For thee, my soul ! for thee.
3 Oh, how I hate these lusts ot mine
That crucified my Lord;
Those sins that pierced and nailed his flesh
Fast to the fatal wood !
4 Yes, my Redeemer — they shall die;
My heart has so decreed;
Nor will I spare the guilty things
That made my Saviour bleed.

And slay the murderers too.

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 1 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 five."
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
<W O" " He remembers Calvary?' I. watts.
How condescending and how kind
Was God's eternal Son 1
Our misery reached his heavenly mind,
And pity brought him down.
2 He sunk beneath our heavy woes,
To raise us to his throne ;
There's ne'er a gift his hand bestows,
But cost his heart a groan.
3 This was compassion, like a God,
That when the Saviour knew
The price of pardon was his blood,
His pity ne'er withdrew.
4 Now, though he reigns exalted high,
His love is still as great;
Well he remembers Calvary,
Nor let his saints forget.

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 ! —

4 0 Christ of God, O spotless Lamb,
By love my soul is drawn ;
Henceforth, for ever, thine I am;

And thou, enthroned, my soul shalt spare,
On thy great judgment-day.

Thou didst suffer to release us ;

Hail, thou agonizing Saviour,
Bearer of our sin and shame !
By thy merits we find favor;
Life is given through thy name.

All our sins on thee were laid;
By Almighty Love anointed,
Thou hast full atonement made:
All thy people are forgiven
Through the virtue of thy blood;
Opened is the gate of heaven,
Peace is made 'twixt man and God.
Now the gracious Mediator
Risen to the courts of bliss,
Claims for me, a sinful creature,
Pardon, righteousness, and peace
3 Sure such infinite affection
Lays the highest claims to mine ;
All my powers, without exception,
Should in fervent praises join.
Jesus, fit me for thy service;
Form me for thyself alone ;
I am thy most costly purchase, —
Take possession of thine own.

When I view my Saviour bleeding,
For my sins, upon the tree ;
Oh, how wondrous ! — how exceeding
Great his love appears to me !
Floods of deep distress and anguish,
To impede his labors, came;
Yet they all could not extinguish
Love's eternal, burning flame.
2 Now redemption is completed,
Full salvation is procured;
Death and Satan are defeated,
By the sufferings he endured.

Cross, reproach, and tribulation !
Ye to me are welcome guests,
When I have this consolation,
That my soul in Jesus rests.
The reproach of Christ is glorious !
Those who here his burden bear,
In the end shall prove victorious,
And eternal gladness share.
2 Bonds and stripes, and evil story,
Are our honorable crowns;
Pain is peace, and shame is glory,
Gloomy dungeons are as thrones.
Bear, then, the reproach of Jesus,
Ye who five a life of faith !
Lift triumphant songs and praises
Ev'n in martyrdom and death.

£OtF "Near the Cross." ]. w. Alexander, tr.
Near the cross was Mary weeping,
There her mournful station keeping,
Gazing on her dying Son:
There in speechless anguish groaning,
Yearning, trembling, sighing, moaning,
Through her soul the sword had gone !
2 But we have no need to borrow
Motives from the mother's sorrow,
At our Saviour's cross to mourn :
'Twas our sins brought him from heaven,
These the cruel nails had driven:
All his griefs for us were borne.
3 When no eye its pity gave us,
When there was no arm to save us,
He his love and power displayed:
By his stripes he wrought our healing,
By his death, our life revealing,
He for us the ransom paid.
4 Jesus, may thy love constrain us,
That from sin we may refrain us,
In thy griefs may deeply grieve:
Thee our best affections giving,
To thy glory ever living,
May we in thy glory live.
rffiOO " it is finished.''' H. bonar.
From the cross the blood is falling,
And to us a voice is calling
Like a trumpet silver-clear :
'Tis the voice announcing pardon —
It is finished, is its burden,
Pardon to the far and near.
2 Peace that glorious blood is sealing,
All our wounds for ever healing,
And removing every load;
Words of peace that voice has spoken,
Peace that shall no more be broken,
Peace between the soul and God.
H. HEDGE, tr.
»" * "Day of darkness."
'Twas the day when God's Anointed
Died for us the death appointed,
Bleeding on the dreadful cross;
Day of darkness, day of terror,
Deadly fruit of ancient error,
Nature's fall, and Eden's loss !
2 Haste, prepare the bitter chalice !
Gentile hate and Jewish malice
Lift the royal Victim high;
Like the serpent, wonder-gifted,
Which the prophet once uplifted,
For a sinful world to die.
3 Conscious of the deed unholy,
Nature's pulses beat more slowly,
And the sun his light denied;
Darkness wrapped the sacred city,
And the earth with fear and pity
Trembled, when the Just One died
4 Not in vain for us uplifted,
Man of sorrows, wonder-gifted,
May that sacred symbol be;
Eminent amid the ages,
Guide of heroes and of sages,
May it guide us still to thee.

WuO " Upon the cross." anon.
0 Jesus, we adore thee,
Upon the cross, our King:
We bow our hearts before thee ;
Thy gracious Name we sing:
That Name hath brought salvation,
That Name, in life our stay;
Our peace, our consolation
When life shall fade away.
2 Yet doth the world disdain thee,
Still pressing by thy cross:
Lord, may our hearts retain thee;
All else we count but loss.
The grief thy soul endured,
Who can that grief declare ?
Thy pains have thus assured
That thou thy foes wilt spare.
3 Ah, Lord, our sins arraigned thee,
And nailed thee to the tree :
Our pride, 0 Lord, disdained thee; —
Yet deign our hope to be.
O glorious King, we bless thee,
No longer pass thee by;
O Jesus, we confess thee
Our Lord enthroned on high.

0 Lamb of God ! still keep me
Near to thy wounded side;
'Tis only there in safety
And peace I can abide !
What foes and snares surround me,
What doubts and fears within !
The grace that sought and found me,
Alone can keep me clean.
2 'Tis only in thee hiding
I know my life secure —
Only in thee abiding,
The conflict can endure:
Thine arm the victory gaineth
O'er every hateful foe;
Thy love my heart sustaineth
In all its care and woe.
3 Soon shall my eyes behold thee,
With rapture, face to face;
One half hath not been told me
Of all thy power and grace:
Thy beauty, Lord, and glory,
The wonders of thy love,
Shall be the endless story
Of all the saints above.

With grief and shame weighed down,
Now scornfully surrounded
With thorns, thine only crown;
0 sacred Head, what glory,
What bliss, till now was thine !
Yet, though despised and gory,
I joy to call thee mine.
2 What thou, my Lord, hast suffered
Was all for sinners' gain:
Mine, mine was the transgression,
But thine the deadly pain ;
Lo, here I fall, my Saviour !
'Tis I deserved thy place;
Look on me with thy favor,
Youchsafe to me thy grace.

3 What language shall I borrow,
To thank thee, dearest Friend,
For this, thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end ?
Lord, make me thine for ever,
Nor let me faithless prove:
Oh, let me never, never,
Abuse such dying love.
4 Be near when I am dying,
Oh, show thy cross to me !
And for my succor flying,
Come, Lord, and set me free !
These eyes, new faith receiving,
From Jesus shall not move;
For he who dies believing,
Dies safely — through thy love.

9Q1
UvM. c. L. m. Gethsemane.
He knelt, the Saviour knelt and prayed,
When but his Father's eye
Looked through the lonely garden's shade,
On that dread agony ;
The Lord of all above, beneath,
Was bowed with sorrow unto death.
2 The sun set in a fearful hour,
The skies might well grow dim,
When this mortality had power
So to o'ershadow him !
That he who gave man's breath, might
The very depths of human woe. [know
3 He knew them all ; the doubt, the
The faint, perplexing dread ; [strife,
The mists that hang o'er parting life,
All darkened round his head ;
And the Deliverer knelt to pray ;
Yet passed it not, that cup, away.
4 It passed not, though the stormy wave
Had sunk beneath his tread ;
It passed not, though to him the grave
Had yielded up its dead.
But there was sent him from on high,
A gift of strength for man to die.
5 And was his mortal hour beset
With anguish and dismay ?
How may we meet our conflict yet,
In the dark, narrow way ?
How but through him, that path who
Save or we perish, Son of God ! [trod %
Christ in the Desert.
J. F. THRUPP.
292 L
Awhile in spirit, Lord, to thee
Into the desert would we flee j
Awhile upon the barren steep
Thy fast with thee in spirit keep ; —
2 Awhile from thy temptation learn
The daily snares of sin to spurn,
And in our hearts to feel and own
Man liveth not by bread alone.
3 And while at thy command we pray,
Give us our bread from day to day,
May we with thee, O Christ, be fed,
Thou Word of God, thou Living Bread.
4 Incarnate Lord, we come to thee,
Thou knowest our infirmity ;
Be thou our Helper in the strife,
Be thou our true, our inward Life.

U if tf yg, " Jesus, Saviour."
Thou who didst on Calvary bleed,
Thou who dost for sinners plead,
Help me in my time of need,
Jesus, Saviour, hear my cry !
2 In my darkness and my grief,
With my heart of unbelief,
I, who am of sinners chief,
Jesus, lift to thee mine eye !
3 Foes without and fears within,
With no plea thy grace to win,
But that thou canst save from sin,
Jesus, to thy cross I fly !
4 There on thee I cast my care,
There to thee I raise my prayer,
Jesus, save me from despair,
Save me, save me, or I die !
5 When the storms of trial lower,
When I feel temptation's power,
In the last and darkest hour,
Jesus, Saviour, be thou nigh !

Jesus, Lamb of God, for me
Thou, the Lord of life, didst die ;
Whither — whither, but to thee,
Can a trembling sinner fly !
Death's dark waters o'er me roll,
Save, oh, save my sinking soul !
2 Never bowed a martyr's head
Weighed with equal sorrow down ;
Never blood so rich was shed,
Never king wore such a crown ;
To thy cross and sacrifice
Faith now lifts her tearful eyes.
3 All my soul, by love subdued,
Melts in deep contrition there j
By thy mighty grace renewed,
New-born hope forbids despair :
Lord ! thou canst my guilt forgive,
Thou hast bid me look and live.
4 While with broken heart I kneel,
Sinks the inward storm to rest ;
Life — immortal life — I feel
Kindled in my throbbing breast ;
Thine — for ever thine — I am !
Glory to thee, bleeding Lamb !

The Lord of glory dies for men ;

Sing how he spoiled the hosts of hell,
And led the tyrant Death in chains.

Glorious in the spoils he bears ?

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 I 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.

Sounded through the wide creation —

Grand, beyond a seraph's thought;
For the wonders of creation,
Works with skill and kindness wrought;
For thy providence, that governs
Through thine empire's wide domain,
Wings an angel, guides a sparrow; —
Blessed be thy gentle reign.
3 For thy rich, thy free redemption,
Bright, though vailed in darkness long,
Thought is poor, and poor expression;
Who can sing that wondrous song?
Brightness of the Father's glory !
Shall thy praise unuttered lie ?
Break, my tongue ! such guilty silence,
Sing the Lord who came to die: — ■

To the cross of deepest woe, .
Came to ransom guilty captives ! —

Hail, ye saints, the exalted Saviour,
Let his courts with praise resound.
2 Lo, Jehovah, we adore thee;
Thee our Saviour ! thee our God !
From his throne his beams of glory
Shine through all the world abroad.
In his word his light arises,
Brightest beams of truth and grace ;
Bind, oh, bind your sacrifices,
In his courts your offerings place.
3 Jesus, thee our Saviour hailing,
Thee our God in praise we own;
Highest honors, never failing,
Rise eternal round thy throne;
Now, ye saints, his power confessing,
In your grateful strains adore;
For his mercy, never ceasing,
Flows, and flows for evermore.

O Christ, the Lord of heaven ! to thee,
Clothed with all majesty divine,
Eternal power and glory be !
Eternal praise, of right, is thine.
2 Reign, Prince of life ! that once thy brow
Didst yield to wear the wounding thorn ;
Reign, throned beside the Father now,
Adored the Son of God first-born.
3 From angel hosts that round thee stand,
With forms more pure than spotless snow,
From the bright burning seraph band,
Let praise in loftiest numbers flow.
4 To thee, the Lamb, our mortal songs,
Born of deep fervent love, shall rise;
All honor to thy name belongs,
Our lips would sound it to the skies.
5 "Jesus ! " — all earth shall speak the word ;
"Jesus !" — all heaven resound it still;
Immanuel, Saviour, Conqueror, Lord !
Thy praise the universe shall fill.

Now be my heart inspired to sing
The glories of my Saviour King, —
Jesus the Lord ; how heavenly fair
His form l how bright his beauties are !
2 O'er all the sons of human race ,
He shines with a superior grace:
Love from his lips divinely flows,
And blessings all his state compose.
3 Thy throne, O God, for ever stands;
Grace is the sceptre in thy hands;
Thy laws and works are just and right;
Justice and grace are thy delight.

2 In thy dear cross a grace is found, —
It flows from every streaming wound, —
Whose power our inbred sin controls,
Breaks the firm bond, and frees our souls.
3 Thou didst create the stars of night;
Yet thou hast vailed in flesh thy fight,
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.

Great Conqueror ! never more to die,
TJs by thy mighty power defend,
And reign through ages without end.

The road that leads from banishment,
The King's highway of holiness,
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.
P
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.

What a dear Saviour I have found;
I'll point to thy redeeming blood,
And say, "Behold the way to God !"

He saves from hell, — we bless his name, —
He guides our wandering feet to heaven.
2 'Twas 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.

Now to the Lord, who makes us know
The wonders of his dying love,
Be humble honors paid below,
And strains of nobler praise above.
'Twas he who cleansed our foulest sins,
And washed us in his precious blood;
'Tis he who makes us priests and kings,
And brings us rebels near to God.
3 To Jesus, our atoning Priest,
To Jesus, our eternal King,
Be everlasting power confessed !
Let every tongue his glory sing.
4 Behold ! on flying clouds he comes,
And every eye shall see him move;
Though with our sins we pierced him once,
He now displays his pardoning love.
5 The unbelieving world shall wail,
While we rejoice to see the day;
Come, Lord ! nor let thy promise fail,
Nor let thy chariot long delay.

What equal honors shall we bring
To thee, O Lord our G-od, the Lamb,
When all the notes that angels sing,
Are far inferior to thy name ?
2 Worthy is he that once was slain,
The Prince of Peace that groaned and died,
Worthy to rise, and live, and reign
At his almighty Father's side.
3 All riches are his native right,
Yet he sustained amazing loss;
BENNINGTON. L. M, D.
To him ascribe eternal might,
Who left his weakness on the cross.
4 Honor immortal must be paid,
Instead of scandal and of scorn;
While glory shines around his head,
And a bright crown without a thorn.
5 Blessings for ever on the Lamb,
Who bore the curse for wretched men;
Let angels sound his sacred name,
And every creature say, Amen.

OO" Psalm 04.
Our Lord is risen from the dead,
Our Jesus is gone up on high;
The powers of hell are captive led,
Dragged to the portals of the sky.
There his triumphal chariot waits,
And angels chant the solemn lay:
"Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates !
Ye everlasting doors ! give way."
2 Loose all your bars of massy light,
And wide unfold the ethereal scene:
He claims these mansions as his right;
Receive the King of glory in.
10
Who is this King of glory — who ?
The Lord who all our foes o'ercame ;
Who sin, and death, and hell o'erthrew ;
And Jesus is the conqueror's name.
3 Lo ! his triumphal chariot waits,
And angels chant the solemn lay: —
"Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates !
Ye everlasting doors ! give way. "
Who is this King of glory — who ?
The Lord of boundless power possessed;
The King of saints and angels, too,
God over all, for ever blessed.

The day of resurrection,
Earth, tell it out abroad :
The Passover of gladness,
The Passover of God.
From death to life eternal,
From earth unto the sky,
Our Christ hath brought us over,
"With hymns of victory.
2 Our hearts be pure from evil,
That we may see aright
The Lord in rays eternal
Of resurrection-light ;
And, listening to his accents,
May hear, so calm and plain,
His own " All hail ! " and, hearing,
May raise the victor-strain.
OtA c, M- Psalm 45. I. watts.

His form divinely fair ;
None of the sons of mortal race
May with the Lord compare.

Upon thy lips is shed ; [grace
Thy God, with blessings infinite,
Hath crowned thy sacred head.
3 Gird on thy sword, victorious Prince !
Eide with majestic sway ;
Thy terrors shall strike through thy foes,
And make the world obey.
4 Thy throne, 0 God ! for ever stands ;
Thy word of grace shall prove
A peaceful sceptre in thy hands,
To rule the saints by love.
5 Justice and truth attend thee still,
But mercy is thy choice ;
And God, thy God, thy soul shall fill
With most peculiar joys.
ftEAJ l. m. Full Equality.'" I. watts.
Bright King of glory, dreadful God !
Our spirits bow before thy feet :
To thee we lift an humble thought,
And worship at thine awful seat.
2 A thousand seraphs strong and bright
Stand round the glorious Deity ;
But who, among those sons of light,
Pretends comparison with thee ?
3 Yet there is One of human frame,
Jesus, arrayed in flesh and blood,
Thinks it no robbery to claim
A full equality with God.
4 Then let the name of Christ our King
With equal honors be adored ;
His praise let every angel sing,
And all the nations own their Lord.
*JTtP 7s. The Risen Redeemer. anon.

Where, 0 Death ! is now thy sting ?
Lo ! he claims his native sky !
Grave ! where is thy victory ?
3 Sinners, see your ransom paid,
Peace with God for ever made :
With your risen Saviour rise ;
Claim with him the purchased skies.

Our triumphant holy-day ;
Loud the song of victory raise ;
Shout the great Redeemer's praise.

Come, every pious heart,
That loves the Saviour's name,
Your noblesf powers exert
To celebrate his fame ;
Tell all above, and all below,
The debt of love to him you owe.
2 He left his starry crown,
And laid his robes aside,
On wings of love came down,
And wept, and bled, and died ;
What he endured, oh, who can tell,
To save our souls from death and hell ?
3 From the dark grave he rose,
The mansion of the dead,
And thence his mighty foes
In glorious triumph led ;
Up through the sky the Conqueror rode,
And reigns on high, the Saviour God.

Adorned with majesty and grace,

To his fair palace in the skies ;
And all thy sons, a numerous train,

O 4 " c. M. Pentecost. J. KEBLE
When God, of old, came down from
heaven,
In power and wrath he came ;
Before his feet the clouds were riven,
Half darkness and half flame.
2 But when he came the second time,
He came in power and love ;
Softer than gales at morning prime,
Hovered his holy Dove.
3 The fires that rushed on Sinai down
In sudden torrents dread,
Now gently light a glorious crown
On every sainted head.
4 Like arrows went those lightnings
forth,
"Winged with the sinner's doom ;
But these, like tongues, o'er all the earth
Proclaiming life to come.

What our Lord for us hath done ;
May we God the Father know
Through his well-beloved Son.

2 Let me in thy love rejoice,

The bliss for which we sigh:
'T is not the whole of life to live,
Nor all of death to die.
3 Beyond this vale of tears
There is a life above,
Unmeasured by the flight of years;
And all that life is love.

Outlasts the fleeting breath:

Around the second death !

To see the curse remove ;

And sing his dying love.

Hath answered these demands;

Lord, how secure my conscience was,
And felt no inward dread !
1 was alive without the law,
And thought my sins were dead.
2 My hopes of heaven were firm and bright ;
But since the precept came
With a convincing power and light,
I find how vile I am.
3 My guilt appeared but small before,
Till terribly I saw
How perfect, holy, just, and pure,
Was thine eternal law.
4 Then felt my soul the heavy load;
My sins revived again:
I had provoked a dreadful God,
And all my hopes were slain.
5 My God, I cry with every breath
For some kind power to save,
To break the yoke of sin and death,
And thus redeem the slave.
WOW The load of Sin. a. stei

Unconscious of its load !

,2 Can aught, beneath a power divine,

?Tis thine, almighty Spirit! thine,
To form the heart anew.
3 'Tis thine, the passions to recall,
And upward bid them rise;
To make the scales of error fall
From reason's darkened eyes ; —
4 To chase the shades of death away,
And bid the sinner live;
A beam of heaven, a vital ray,
'Tis thine alone to give.
5 Oh change these wretched hearts of ours,
And give them life divine;
Then shall our passions and our powers,
Almighty Lord ! be thine.

Born in the image of his Son,
A new, peculiar race.
3 The Spirit, like some heavenly wind,
Breathes on the sons of flesh,
New-models all the carnal mind,
And forms the man afresh. #

From the long sleep of death ;
On heavenly things we fix our eyes,
And praise employs our breath.

3 How glorious was the grace,
When Christ sustained the stroke !
His life and blood the Shepherd pays,
A ransom for the flock.
4 But God shall raise his head,
O'er all the sons of men,
And make him see a numerous seed,
To recompense his pain.
"•'" " Jesus only.'" h. bonar.
Not what these hands have done
Can save this guilty soul:
Not what this toiling flesh has borne
Can make my spirit whole.
2 Not what I feel or do
Can give me peace with God;
Not all my prayers, and sighs, and tears.
Can bear my awful load.
3 Thy work alone, O Christ,
Can ease this weight of sin;
Thy blood alone, 0 Lamb of God,
Can give me peace within.

t»v:t Pardon and Purity.
Can sinners hope for heaven,
Who love this world so well ?
Or dream of future happiness,
While on the road to hell ?
2 Shall they hosannas sing,
With an unhallowed tongue ?
Shall palms adorn the guilty hand
Which does its neighbor wrong ?
3 Thy grace, 0 God, alone,
Good hope can e'er afford !
The pardoned and the pure shall see
The glory of the Lord.
OUfJ " All downward." I. WATT
Like sheep we went astray,
And broke the fold of God —
Each wandering in a different way,
But all the downward road.
2 How dreadful was the hour,
When God our wanderings laid,
And did at once his vengeance pour
Upon the Shepherd's head !

There is a fountain filled with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel's veins;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.
2 The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, though rile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
3 Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed church of Grod
Be saved to sin no more.
4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be, till I die.

I'll sing thy power to save,
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave.

Suited to every sinner's case
Who hears the joyful sound !

Your every burden bring; [wounds;
Here love, unchanging love, abounds, —
A deep celestial spring.

And heavenly joy imparts:
Come, thirsty souls ! your wants disclose
And drink, with thankful hearts.

4:1/ d " 7^ saw the lost." e. c. clephane.
There were ninety and nine that safely lay
In the shelter of the fold,
But one was out on the hills away,
Far off from the gates of gold —
Away on the mountains wild and bare,
Away from the tender Shepherd's care.
2 " Lord , thou hast here thy ninety and nine :
Are they not enough for thee?"
But the Shepherd made answer: "This of
Has wandered away from me: [mine
And although the road be rough and steep
I go to the desert to find my sheep."
3 But none of the ransomed ever knew
How deep were the waters crossed;
Nor how dark was the night that the Lord
passed through
Ere he found his sheep that was lost;
Out in the desert he heard its cry —
'Twas helpless and sick, and ready to die.
4 But all through the mountains, thunder-
And up from the rocky steep, [riven,
There rose a cry to the gate of heaven,
"Rejoice ! I have found my sheep !"
And the angels echoed around the throne,
"Rejoice, for the Lord brings back his own ! "
4U1 l. M. Loving-kindness. s. medl
Awake, my soul, to joyful lays,
And sing thy great Redeemer's praise;
He justly claims a song from me:
His loving-kindness, oh, how free !
2 He saw me ruined in the fall,
Yet loved me, notwithstanding all;
He saved me from my lost estate:
His loving-kindness, oh, how great !
3 Though numerous hosts of mighty foes,
Though earth and hell my way oppose,
He safely leads my soul along:
His loving-kindness, oh, how strong !
4 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,
Has gathered thick and thundered loud,
He near my soul has always stood:
His loving-kindness, oh, how good !

Awake, my heart, arise, my tongue,
Prepare a tuneful voice;
In God, the life of all my joys,
Aloud will I rejoice.
'Tis he adorned my naked soul,
And made salvation mine;
Upon a poor, polluted worm,
He makes his graces shine.
2 And lest the shadow of a spot
Should on my soul be found,
He took the robe the Saviour wrought,
And cast it all around.
How far the heavenly robe exceeds
What earthly princes wear !
These ornaments, how bright they shine !
How white the garments are !
3 The Spirit wrought my faith and love,
And hope and every grace ;
But Jesus spent his life to work
The robe of righteousness.
Strangely, my soul, art thou arrayed,
By the great sacred Three;
In sweetest harmony of praise,
Let all thy powers agree.

" yesus died for me"
408
Great God, when I approach thy throne,
And all thy glory see;
This is my stay, and this alone,
That Jesus died for me.
2 How can a soul condemned to die,
Escape the just decree?
Helpless, and full of sin am I,
But Jesus died for me.
3 Burdened with sin's oppressive chain,
Oh, how can I get free ?
No peace can all my efforts gain,
But Jesus died for me.
4 And Lord, when I behold thy face,
This must be all my plea;
Save me by thy almighty grace,
For Jesus died for me.
tt"«7 Divine compassion. a. Steele.
Jesus, — and didst thou leave the sky,
To bear our griefs and woes ?
And didst thou bleed, and groan and die,
For thy rebellious foes ?
2 Well might the heavens with wonder view
A love so strange as thine !
No thought of angels ever knew
Compassion so divine !
3 Is there a heart that will not bend
To thy divine control?
Descend, 0 sovereign love, descend,
And melt that stubborn soul.
4 Oh ! may our willing hearts confess
Thy sweet, thy gentle sway;
Glad captives of thy matchless grace,
Thy righteous rule obey.

Tell me the old, old story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and his glory,
Of Jesus and his love.
Tell me the story simply,
As to a little child,
For I am weak and weary,
And helpless and defiled. — Cho.
2 Tell me the story slowly,
That I may take it in —
That wonderful Redemption,
God's remedy for sin !
Tell me the story often,
For I forget so soon !
The "early dew" of morning
Has passed away at noon 1 — Cho.
3 Tell me the story softly,
With earnest tones and grave;
Remember ! I 'm the sinner
Whom Jesus came to save.
Tell me that story always,
If you would really be,
In any time of trouble,
A comforter to me. — Cho.
4 Tell me the same old story,
When you have cause to fear
That this world's empty glory
Is costing me too dear.
Yes, and when that world's glory
Is dawning on my soul,
Tell me the old, old story:
"Christ Jesus makes thee whole." — Cho.

I love to tell the story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and his glory,
Of Jesus and his love.
1 love to tell the story,
Because I know 'tis true;
It satisfies my longings
As nothing else can do. — Cho.
2 I love to tell the story:
'Tis pleasant to repeat
What seems each time I tell it,
More wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the story:
For some have never heard
The message of salvation,
From God's own holy word. — Cho.
3 I love to tell the story;
For those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting
To hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory,
I sing the New, New Song,
'Twill be the Old, Old Story
That I have loved so long. — Cho.
Tit) yesus' Cross. anon.
I saw the cross of Jesus,
When burdened with my sin;
I sought the cross of Jesus,
To give me peace within ;
1 brought my soul to Jesus,
He cleansed it in his blood;
And in the cross of Jesus
I found my peace with God.
Cho. — No righteousness, no merit,
No beauty can I plead;
Yet in the cross I glory,
My title there I read.
2 Sweet is the cross of Jesus 1
There let my weary heart
Still rest in peace unshaken,
Till with him, ne'er to part ;
And then in strains of glory
I'll sing his wondrous power,
Where sin can never enter,
And death is known no more.
Cho. — I love the cross of Jesus,
It tells me what I am;
A vile and guilty creature,
Saved only through the Lamb.

Like mountains round me close;
I know his courts, I '11 enter in,

Without his sovereign grace.

And perish only there.

^Oi CM. "Oh, amazing Love ! "
Plunged in a gulf of dark despair,
We wretched sinners lay,
Without one cheerful beam of hope,
Or spark of glimmering day.
2 With pitying eyes the Prince of grace
Beheld our helpless grief ;
He saw, and — oh, amazing love ! —
He ran to our relief.
3 Down from the shining seats above,
With joyful haste he fled,
Entered the grave in mortal flesh,
And dwelt among the dead.
4 Oh, for this love let rocks and hills
Their lasting silence break ;
And all harmonious human tongues
The Saviour's praises speak.
5 Angels ! assist our mighty joys ;
Strike all your harps of gold ;
But, when you raise your highest notes,
His love can ne'er be told;
I. WATTS.
^dt) L. M. Psalm 136.
Give to our God immortal praise ;
Mercy and truth are all his ways ;
Wonders of grace to God belong ;
Repeat his mercies in your son
2 He sent his Son, with power to save
From guilt, and darkness, and the grave:
Wonders of grace to God belong; —
Repeat his mercies in your song.
3 Through this vain world he guides our
feet,
And leads us to his heavenly seat;
His mercies ever shall endure,
When this vain world shall be no more.

Come, happy souls, approach your God
With new, melodious songs ;
Come, render to almighty grace
The tribute of your tongues.
2 So strange, so boundless was the love
That pitied dying men,
The Father sent his equal Son
To give them life again.
3 Thy hands, dear Jesus, were not
armed
With an avenging rod,
No hard commission to perform
The vengeance of a God.
4 But all was merciful and mild,
And wrath forsook the throne,
When Christ on the kind errand came,
And brought salvation down.
5 See, dearest Lord, our willing souls
Accept thine offered grace ;
We bless the great Redeemer's love,
And give the Father praise.
^tfO l. M. "To Save Sinners." 1. watts.
Not to condemn the sons of men,
Did Christ, the Son of God, appear ;
No weapons in his hands are seen,
No flaming sword nor thunder there.
2 Such was the pity of our God,
He loved the race of man so well,
He sent his Son to bear our load
Of sins, and save our souls from hell.
3 Sinners, believe the Saviour's word ;
Trust in his mighty name, and live :
A thousand joys his lips afford,
His hands a thousand blessings give.

Come to the land of peace ;
From shadows come away ;
Where all the sounds of weeping cease,
And storms no more have sway.
2 Fear hath no dwelling here;
But pure repose and love
Breathe through the bright, celestial air
The spirit of the dove.

Gathered from every land;
For here thy soul shall find its rest,
Amid the shining band.

Drooping souls, no longer mourn,
Jesus still is precious ;
If to him you now return,
Heaven will be propitious ;
Jesus now is passing by,
Calling wanderers near him ;
Drooping souls, you need not die,
Go to him and hear him !
2 He has pardons, full and free,
Drooping souls to gladden ;
Still he cries — " Come unto me,
Weary, heavy-laden ! "
Though your sins, like mountains high,
Rise, and reach to heaven,
Soon as you on him rely,
All shall be forgiven.
3 Precious is the Saviour's name,
Dear to all that love him ;
He to save the dying came ; —
Go to him and prove him !
Wandering sinners, now return ;
Contrite souls, believe him !
Jesus calls you, cease to mourn :
Worship him ; receive him.

Beset thy path, nor refuge near.

A covert from the wind and rain ;
A hiding-place, a rest, a home,
A refuge from the wrath to come !

Look not behind ; make no delay ;

Would you win a soul to God ?
Tell him of a Saviour's blood,
Once for dying sinners spilt,
To atone for all their guilt.

Led thee first to seek his face ;
Made thee choose the better part,
Wrought salvation in thy heart.

Wherewith Jesus makes thee free !
Sweetly speak of sins forgiven,
Earnest of the joys of heaven.

Thy mercy has prepared for us !
The costliest gems, the richest ores
Could never have endowed us thus.

Can draw from suffering souls the sting:
And thy rich bounty to our board
Can bread for hungering sinners bring.

The opening door that leads to heaven.

So full and freely proffered thee,
Remembering that it cost the blood
Of him who died on Calvary.

2 Whither, ah ! whither shall I go,
A wretched wanderer from my Lord ?
Can this dark world of sin and woe

On these my fainting spirit lives;
Here sweeter comforts cheer my heart,

4 Thy name my inmost powers adore;

Depart from thee — 'tis death, 'tis more;
'Tis endless ruin, deep despair !

Here safety dwells, and peace divine ;
Still let me live beneath thine eye,
For life, eternal life, is thine.

2 Oh, wash my soul from every sin,
And make my guilty conscience clean;
Here on my heart the burden lies,
And past offences pain mine eyes.
3 My lips with shame my sins confess,
Against thy law, against thy grace:
Lord ! should thy judgments grow severe,
I am condemned, but thou art clear.
4 Should sudden vengeance seize my breath,
I must pronounce thee just in death ;
And, if my soul were sent to hell,
Thy righteous law approves it well.

Whose hope, still hovering round thy word,
Would light ou some sweet promise there,
Some sure support against despair.

Prostrate, dear Jesus ! at thy feet,
A guilty rebel lies ,
And upwards, to thy mercy-seat,
Presumes to lift his eyes.
2 Let not thy justice frown me hence ;
Oh, stay the vengeful storm ;
Forbid it, that Omnipotence
Should crush a feeble worm.
3 If tears of sorrow could suffice
To pay the debt I owe,
Tears should, from both my weeping eyes,
In ceaseless currents flow.
4 But no such sacrifice I plead
To expiate my guilt ; [shed, —
No tears, but those which thou hast
No blood, but thou hast spilt.
5 Think of thy sorrows, dearest Lord !
And all my sins forgive ;
Then justice will approve the word,
That bids the sinner live.
* I * l. m. Pardon Implored. t. Hastings.
Forgive us, Lord ! to thee we cry,
Forgive us thro' thy matchless grace ;
On thee alone our souls rely,
Be thou our strength and righteousness.
2 Forgive thou us, as we forgive
The ills we suffer from our foes ;
Restore us, Lord ! and bid us live ;
Oh ! let us in thine arms repose.
3 Forgive us, for our guilt is great !
Our wretched souls no merit claim ;
For sovereign mercy still we wait,
And ask but in the Saviour's name.
4 Forgive us, — 0 thou bleeding Lamb !
Thou risen, thou exalted Lord !
Thou great High-Priest, our souls re-
deem,
And speak the pardon-sealing word.
ilWcn, Psalm 42. H. F. LYTE.
As pants the hart for cooling streams,
When heated in the chase,
So longs my soul, 0 God, for thee,
And thy refreshing grace.
2 For thee, my God — the living God,
My thirsty soul doth pine ;
Oh, when shall I behold thy face,
Thou Majesty divine !
THE GOSPEL: — REPENTANCE.
3 Why restless, why cast down, my soul ?
Trust God ; who will employ
His aid for thee, and change these sighs
To thankful hymns of joy.
4 I sigh to think of happier days,
When thou, 0 Lord ! wast nigh ;
When every heart was tuned to praise,
And none more blest than I.
5 Why restless, why cast down, my soul ?
Hope still ; and thou shalt sing
The praise of him who is thy God,
Thy health's eternal spring.

The God of grace will ne'er despise
A broken heart for sacrifice.
2 My soul lies humbled in the dust,
And owns thy dreadful sentence just ;
Look down, 0 Lord, with pitying eye,
And save the soul condemned to die.
3 Then will I teach the world thy ways j
Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace ;
I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood,
And they shall praise a pardoning God.
4 Oh, may thy love inspire my tongue !
Salvation shall be all my song ;
And all my powers shall join to bless

For though I sink beneath thy rod,
Yet do I trust in thee.

My burden thou dost bear,
And I would seek, where'er I go,
To cast on thee my care.
3 Thou knowest, Lord, my flesh how
Strong though my spirit be ; [frail,
Oh, then assist, when foes assail,
The soul that clings to thee.
4 And, gracious Lord, whate'er befall,
A thankful heart be mine, —
A heart that answers to thy call,
One that is wholly thine.

Full of trembling expectation.
Feeling much, and fearing more,
Mighty God of my salvation !
I thy timely aid implore ;
Suffering Son of Man ! be near me,
All my sufferings to sustain,
By thy sorer griefs to cheer me,
By thy more than mortal pain.
2 Call to mind that unknown anguish,
In thy days of flesh below ;
When thy troubled soul did languish
Under a whole world of woe ;
When thou didst our curse inherit,
Groan beneath our guilty load,
Burdened with a wounded spirit,
Bruised by the wrath of God.
3 By thy most severe temptation,
In that dark, satanic hour ;
By thy last mysterious passion,
Screen me from the adverse power !
By thy fainting in the garden,
By thy bloody sweat, I pray,
Write upon my heart the pardon,
Take my 6ins and fears away.

Contend I oh, smile and heal the strife !
2 The Saviour smiles I upon my soul
New tides of hope tumultuous roll —
His voice proclaims my pardon found —
Seraphio transport wings the sound.
3 Earth has a joy unknown in heaven,
The new-born peace of sin forgiven !
Tears of such pure and deep delight,
Ye angels ! never dimmed your sight.
4 Ye saw of old, on chaos rise
The beauteous pillars of the skies :
Ye know where morn exulting springs,
And evening folds her drooping wings.
5 Bright heralds of the eternal Will,
Abroad his errands ye fulfill ;
Or, throned in floods of beamy day,
Symphonious, in his presence play.
6 But I amid your choirs shall shine,
And all your knowledge will be mine :
Ye on your harps must lean to hear
A secret chord that mine will bear.

And departing to rejoice.

And would learn, 0 Lord, of thee ;

My will shall be.

Thirst to relieve,
Manna from heaven falls
Fresh every eve;
Never a want severe
Cause th my eye a tear;
But thou dost whisper near,
"Only believe!"

Have I been brought;
Shrinking the cup to drink,
Help I have sought;
And with the prayer's ascent,
Jesus the branch hath rent —
Quickly relief hath sent,
Sweetening the draught.
4 Saviour ! I long to walk
Closer with thee;
Led by thy guiding hand,
Ever to be;
Constantly near thy side,
Quickened and purified,
Living for him who died
Freely for me !

In love my soul would bow,
My heart fulfill its vow,
Some offering bring thee now,

Sweet was the time when first I felt
The Saviour's pardoning blood
Applied to cleanse my soul from guilt,
And bring me home to God.
2 Soon as the morn the light revealed,
His praises tuned my tongue;
And, when the evening shade prevailed,
His love was all my song.
3 In prayer, my soul drew near the Lord,
And saw his glory shine ;
And when I read his holy word,
I called each promise mine.
4 Now, when the evening shade prevails,
My soul in darkness mourns;
And when the morn the light reveals,
No light to me returns

Long provoked him to his face;
Would not hearken to his calls;
Grieved him by a thousand falls.

Me he now delights to spare;
Cries, How shall I give thee up ? —
Lets the lifted thunder drop.

Bending from thy throne on high,

By the cross, the nail, the thorn,
Piercing spear, and torturing scorn;
By the gloom that vailed the skies
O'er the dreadful sacrifice; —

Which refuses to be still !

Oh, these wayward feet of mine,
Found in every path but thine !

Hands so seldom clasped to thee,
Longings of the soul, that go
Like the wild wind, to and fro !
To and fro, without an aim,
Turning idly whence they came,
Bringing in no joy, no bliss,
Only adding weariness !

Bid, oh, bid these tumults cease;
Minister thy holy balm;
Fill me with thy Spirit's calm:

Oh, turn, great Ruler of the skies !
Turn from my sin thy searching eyes ;

Within thy book recorded stand.

A conscience pure, a soul renewed ;
Nor let me, wrapt in endless gloom,

With tearful eyes I look around ;
Life seems a dark and stormy sea ;
Yet, 'mid the gloom, I hear a sound,
A heavenly whisper, "Come to me."
2 It tells me of a place of rest;
It tells me where my soul may flee:
Oh, to the weary, faint, oppressed,
How sweet the bidding, "Come to mel"
3 " Come, for all else must fail and die !
Earth is no resting-place for thee ;
To heaven direct thy weeping eye,
I am thy portion ; come to me."
4 0 voice of mercy ! voice of love !
in conflict, grief, and agony,
Support me, cheer me from above !
And gently whisper, " Come to me."

My God ! permit me not to be
A stranger to myself and thee ;
Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove,
Forgetful of my highest love.

And thus debase my heavenly birth %
Why should I cleave to things below,
And let my God, my Saviour, go ?
3 Call me away from flesh and sense ;
One sovereign word can draw me thence j

And all inferior joys resign.

And kindle love's meridian day :
My Saviour God, to me appear,
So love shall triumph over fear.
OAO l. m. Psalm 130. 1. watts.
From deep distress and troubled thoughts,
To thee, my God, I raise my cries ;
If thou severely mark our faults,
No flesh can stand before thine eyes.
2 But thou hast built thy throne of grace,
Free to dispense thy pardons there ;
That sinners may approach thy face,
And hope and love, as well as fear.
3 As the benighted pilgrims wait,
Aud long, and wish for breaking day,
So waits my soul before thy gate :
When will my God his face display ?
4 My trust is fixed upon thy word,
Nor shall I trust thy word in vain ;
Let mourning souls address the Lord,
And find relief from all their pain.
5 Great is his love, and large his grace,
Through the redemption of his Son ;
He turns our feet from sinful ways,
And pardons what our hands have
done.
" ■*•-*- 7s. Psalm 13. W. GOODE.
Lord of mercy, just and kind !
Wilt thou ne'er my guilt forgive ?
Never shall my troubled mind,
In thy kind remembrance, live ?
2 Lord ! how long shall Satan's art
Tempt my harassed soul to sin,
Triumph o'er my humbled heart, —
Fears without and guilt within "?
3 Lord, my God ! thine ear incline,
Bending to the prayer of faith ;
Cheer my eyes with light divine,
Lest I sleep the sleep of death.
"■*-tf c. M. '''IVeary, Heavy-laden" J. newton.
Approach, my soul ! the mercy-seat,
Where Jesus answers prayer ;
There humbly fall before his feet,
For none can perish there.
2 Thy promise is my only plea,
With this I venture nigh :
Thou callest burdened souls to thee,
And such, 0 Lord ! am I.
3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin,
By S^tan sorely pressed ;
By war without, and fears within,
I come to thee for rest.
4 Be thou my shield and hiding-place,
That, sheltered near thy side,
f may my fierce accuser face,
And tell him — thou hast died.
5 Oh, wondrous Love — to bleed and die,
To bear the cross and shame
That guilty sinners, such as I,
Might plead thy gracious name !
OlD 7s, 6s, 8s. "Without Care."
Thou, 0 Lord, in tender love,
Dost all my burdens bear ;
Lift my heart to things above,
And fix it ever there !
Cnlm in tumult's whirl I sit,
'Midst busy multitudes* alone;
Sweetly waiting at thy feet,
Till all thy will be done.
2 Careful without care I am,
Nor feel my happy toil !
Kept in peace by Jesus' name,
Supported by his smile.
Joyful thus my faith to show,
I find his service my reward;
Every work I do below,
I do it to the Lord.
3 To the desert or the cell,
Let others blindly fly,
In this evil world I dwell,
Unhurt, unspotted, I.
Here I find a house of prayer,
To which I inwardly retire ;
Walking unconcerned in care,
And unconsumed in fire.

Aud gird the gospel armor on;
March to the gates of endless joy,
Where Jesus, thy great Captain's gone.
2 Hell and thy sins resist thy course,
But hell and sin are vanquished foes;
Thy Saviour nailed them to the cross,
And sung the triumph when he rose.
3 Then let my soul march boldly on, —
Press forward to the heavenly gate;
There peace and joy eternal reign,
And glittering robes for conquerors wait.
4 There shall I wear a starry crown,
And triumph in almighty grace,
While all the armies of the skies
Join in my glorious Leader's praise.

And firm endures, while endless years
Their everlasting circles run.
4 From thee, the overflowing spring,

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

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

And peace which none can take away.
2 Doth sickness fill my heart with fear,
'Tis sweet to know that thou art near;

Forbid my heart to be afraid;
In death, peace gently vails the eyes, —

When sins and fears, prevailing, rise,
And fainting hope almost expires,
To thee, 0 Lord, I lift my eyes ;
To thee I breathe my soul's desires.
2 Art thou not mine, my living Lord?
And can my hope, my comfort die ?
'Tis fixed on thine almighty word —
That word which built the earth and sky.
3 If my immortal Saviour lives,
Then my immortal life is sure;
His word a firm foundation gives;
Here may I build and rest secure.

If Jesus is for ever mine,
Not death itself — that last of foes —
Shall break a union so divine.

Accepts the peace his pardon gives;
Receives the grace his death secured,
And pleads the anguish he endured.
3 My soul its every foe defies,
And cries — 'Tis God that justifies !
Who charges God's elect with sin?
Shall Christ, who died their peace to win ?
4 A song of praise my soul shall sing,
To our eternal, glorious King !
Shall worship humbly at his feet,
In whom alone it stands complete.

OdD "■ What time I am afraid." t. Hastings.
In time of fear, when trouble 's near,
I look to thine abode;
Though helpers fail, and foes prevail,
I '11 put my trust in God.
2 And what is life, 'mid toil and strife ?
What terror has the grave?
Thine arm of power, in peril's hour,
The trembling soul will save.
3 In darkest skies, though storms arise,
I will not be dismayed:
O God of light, and boundless might,
My soul on thee is stayed!

""I " I shall be -with Him." r. Baxter.
Lord, it belongs not to my care
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 ;
No 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 ?
■v-
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.
W. FABER.
0«O " If God be for us." f
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 held, when he
Is most invisible!
3 And blest is he who can divine
Where real right doth he,
And dares to take the side that seems
Wrong to man's blindfold eye!
4 Oh, learn to scorn the praise of men !
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!

Am I a soldier of the cross,

And shall I fear to own his cause,

2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease ?
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed through bloody seas?
3 Are there no foes for me to face ?
Must I not stem the flood ?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God ?
4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign ;
Increase my courage, Lord !
1 '11 bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by thy word.
5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war,
Shall conquer, though they die ;
They view the triumph from afar,
And seize it with their eye.

And all thine armies shine
In robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be thine.

2 Jesus, my God ! — I know his name —
His name is all my trust ;
Nor will he put my soul to shame,
Nor let my hope be lost.
3 Firm as his throne his promise stands,
And he can well secure
What I've committed to his hands,
Till the decisive hour.
4 Then will he own my worthless name
Before his Father's face,
And in the new Jerusalem
Appoint my soul a place.

And dwell in endless peace.

Yet heaven, and earth, and hell

And ruleth all things well.

When fully he the work has wrought,
That caused thy needless fear.

OOO Matthew 6 : 25-34.
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.
556
Perfect peace.
A. E. WARING.
In heavenly love abiding,
No change my heart shall fear,
And safe is such confiding,
For nothing changes here:
The storm may roar without me,
My heart may low be laid,
But God is round about me,
And can I be dismayed?
2 Wherever he may guide me,
No want shall turn me back;
My Shepherd is beside me,
And nothing can I lack:
His wisdom ever waketh,
His sight is never dim:
He knows the way he taketh,
And I will walk with him.
3 Green pastures are before me,
Which yet I have not seen;
Bright skies will soon be o'er me,
Where darkest clouds have been:
My hope I cannot measure;
My path to life is free;
My Saviour has my treasure,
And he will walk with me.

Fear not, 0 little flock, the foe
Who madly seeks your overthrow;
Dread not his rage and power;
What tho' your courage sometimes faints,
His seeming triumph 0 'er God's saints
Lasts but a little hoar.
2 Be of good cheer; your cause belongs
To him who can avenge your wrongs;
Leave it to him, our Lord!
Though hidden yet from mortal eyes,
He sees the Gideon that shall rise
To save us, and his word.
3 As true as God's own word is true,
Not earth nor hell with all their crew
Against us shall prevail;
A jest and by-word are they grown ;
God is with us, we are his own,
Our victorv cannot fail!
4 Amen, Lord Jesus, grant our prayer!
Great Captain, now thine arm make bare,
Fight for us once again!
So shall thy saints and martyrs raise
A mighty chorus to thy praise,
World without end: Amen!

' Casting; all care on God.'
0 Lord! how happy should we be,
If we could cast our care on thee,
If we from self-could rest;
And feel, at heart, that One above,
In perfect wisdom, perfect love,
Is working for the best!
2 How far from this our daily life,
Ever disturbed by anxious strife,
By sudden, wild alarms!
Oh, could we but relinquish all
Our earthly props, and simply fall
On thine almighty arms!

Let not faithless fears 0 'ertake us,
Let not faith and hope forsake us;
For, through many a foe,
To our home we go.

From a long-felt grief,
When temptations come, alluring,

Still support, console, protect us,

OOx Psalm 23. J.MONTGOMERY.
The Lord is rny Shepherd, no want shall
I know;
I feed in green pastures, safe-folded I rest ;
He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow,
Restores me when wandering, redeems
when oppressed.
2 Through the valley and shadow of death
though I stray,
Since thou art my Guardian, no evil I fear ;
Thy rod shall defend me, thy staff be my stay ;
Xoharm can befall, with my Comforter near.
3 In the midst of affliction, my table is spread ;
With blessings unmeasured my cup run-
neth o'er;
With perfume and oil thou anointest my head ;
Oh, what shall I ask of thy providence
565
4 Letgoodnessandmercy, my bountiful God !
Still follow my steps till I meet thee above;
I seek, by the path which my forefathers trod
Through the land of their sojourn, thy
kingdom of love.
" Faint, yet pursuing" j. n. darby.
Though faint, yet pursuing, we go on our way ;
The Lord is our Leader, his word is our stay;
Tho' suffering, and sorrow, and trial be near,
TheLordisour Refuge, and whom can we fear?
2 He raiseth the fallen, he cheereth the faint ;
The weak, and oppressed — he will hear
their complaint;
The way may be weary, and thorny the road,
But how can we falter ? — our help is in God !
3 And to his green pastures our footsteps
he leads;
His flock in the desert how kindly he feeds !
The lambs in his bosom he tenderly bears,
And brings back the wanderers all safe from
the snares.
4 Though clouds may surround us, our God
is our light;
Though storms rage around us, our God is
our might;
So, faint yet pursuing, still onward we come ;
The Lord is our Leader, and heaven is our
home !

Arise ! arise ! the light breaks o'er thee ;

Calmly composed, and dauntless stand,
For lo ! beyond those scenes emerges
The height that bounds the promised

Behold ! behold ! the land is nearing,
Where the wild sea-storm's rage is o'er ;
Hark ! how the heavenly hosts are cheer-

See in what throngs they range the

3 Dear Shepherd, if I stray,
My wandering feet restore 5
To thy fair pastures guide my way,
And let me rove no more.

Of thy protecting care,
Jesus, I plead thy gracious name,
For all my hopes are there.

Soldiers of Christ, arise,
And put your armor on,
Strong is the strength which God sup-
Through his eternal Son. [plies
2 Strong in the Lord of hosts,
And in his mighty power,
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.
3 Stand then in his great might,
With all his strength endued,
And take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God.
4 Till, having all things done,
And all your conflicts past,
You may o'ercome, through Christ alone,
And stand entire at last.
5 From strength to strength go on ;
Wrestle, and fight, and pray ;
Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day.
6 Still let the Spirit cry
In all his soldiers, come !
Till Christ the Lord descend from high,
And take the conquerors home.
tfOXf yS) gSj D- Psalm 77. J. MONTGOMERY.
In time of tribulation,
Hear, Lord ! my feeble cries ;
With humble supplication
To thee my spirit flies :
My heart with grief is breaking ;
Scarce can my voice complain :
Mine eyes, with tears kept waking,
Still watch and weep in vain.
2 Thee, with the tribes assembled,
0 God, the billows saw ;
They saw thee and they trembled,
Turned, and stood still with awe ;
The clouds shot hail, — they lightened, —
The earth reeled to and fro ;
The fiery pillar brightened
The gulf of gloom below.
3 Thy way is in great waters :
Thy footsteps are not known :
Let Adam's sons and daughters
Confide in thee alone :
Through the wild sea thou leddest
Thy chosen flock of yore :
Still on the waves thou treadest,
And thy redeemed pass o'er.

Purer yet and purer
I would be in mind,
Dearer yet and dearer
Every duty find ;
Hoping still and trusting
God without a fear,
Patiently believing
He will make all clear.
2 Calmer yet and calmer
Trial bear and pain,
Surer yet and. surer
Peace at last to gain ;
Suffering still and doing,
To his will resigned,
And to God subduing
Heart and will and mind.

Out of clouds and night,
Nearer yet and nearer
Rising to the light —
Light serene and holy,
Where my* soul may rest,
Purified and lowly,
Sanctified and blest.

Ever onward press,
Firmer yet and firmer

Oft these earnest longings
Swell within my breast,
Yet their inner meaning
Ne'er can be expressed.

Fight the good fight ! lay hold
Upon eternal life ;
Keep but thy shield, — be bold !
Stand through the hottest strife :
With thy great Captain on the field,
Thou canst not fail, unless thou yield.
2 No force of earth or hell,
Though fiends with men unite,
Truth's champion can compel,
However pressed, to flight :
He stands unmoved upon the field ;
He cannot fall, unless he yield.

Children of God, who, faint and slow,
Your pilgrim-path pursue,
In strength and weakness, joy and woe,
To God's high calling true ! —
Why move ye thus, with lingering tread,
A doubting, mournful band?
Why faintly hangs the drooping head ?
Why fails the feeble hand ?
2 Oh, weak to know a Saviour's power,
To feel a Father's care !
A moment's toil, a passing shower,
Is all the grief ye share.
The orb of light, though clouds awhile
May hide his noon-tide ray,
Shall soon in lovelier beauty smile
To gild the closing day, —
3 And, bursting through the dusky
shroud
That dared his power invest,
Ride throned in light o'er every cloud,
Triumphant to his rest.
Then, Christian, dry the falling tear,
The faithless doubt remove ;
Redeemed at last from guilt and fear,
Oh ! wake thy heart to love.

Seem peculiar still to thee,

Always with us, always with us —
Words of cheer and words of love ;
Thus the risen Saviour whispers,
From his dwelling-place above.
2 With us when we toil in sadness,
Sowing much and reaping none;
Telling us that in the future
Golden harvests shall be won.
3 With us when the storm is sweeping
O'er our pathway dark and drear;
Waking hope within our bosoms,
Stilling every anxious fear.
4 With us in the lonely valley,
When we cross the chilling stream —
Lighting up the steps to glory
With salvation's radiant beam.

Well deserves the name of Friend;
His is love beyond a brother's,
Costly, free, and knows no end.
2 Which of all our friends, to save us,
Could or would have shed his blood ?
But our Jesus died to have us
Reconciled in him to God.
3 When he lived on earth abase'd,
Friend of sinners was his name ;
Now above all glory raisdd,
He rejoices in the same.

Teach us, Lord, at length, to love;
We, alas! forget too often
What a friend we have above.

And whisper evil things within,
So did he, in the desert way,
Assail our Lord with thoughts of sin:

The tempter came with all his power.

With every human ill but sin;
And, though indeed the very God,
As I am now, so he has been:
My God, my Saviour ! look on me
With pity, love, and sympathy.

Where living waters gently pass,
And full salvation flows.

And guide me in his own right way,
For his most holy name.

And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
Ev'n for his own name's sake.
3 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
Yet will I fear no ill;
For thou art with me, and thy rod
And staff me comfort still.

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.

Oh, sweetly breathe the lyres above,
When angels touch the quivering string,
And wake, to chant ImmanuePs love,
Such strains as angel-lips can sing !
2 And sweet, on earth, the choral swell,
From mortal tongues, of gladsome lays ;
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.
5 In thee we trust, — on thee rely;
Though we are feeble, thou art strong ;
Oh, keep us till our spirits fly
To join the bright, immortal throng !

And sorrow crown each lingering year.

Our hearts still whispering, thou art near.

"AA 'To live is Christ.''1 j. newton.
Jesus, who on his glorious throne
Rules heaven, and earth, and sea,
Is pleased to claim me for his own
And give himself to me.
2 His person fixes all my love,
His blood removes my fear;
And while he pleads for me above,
His arm preserves me here.
3 His word of promise is my food,
His Spirit is my guide ;
Thus daily is my strength renewed,
And all my wants supplied.
4 For him I count as gain each loss,
Disgrace for him renown;
Well may I glory in my cross,
While he prepares my crown.

With sweetness fills my breast;

And in thy presence rest.

Nor can the memory find
A sweeter sound than thy blest name,
O Saviour of mankind !

And calms the troubled breast;

And to the weary, rest.

My Prophet, Priest, and King;

And cold my warmest thought;
But when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.

With every fleeting breath;

Refresh my soul in death.

2 Oh, tell me the place where thy flock are

Where the noontide will find them re-

The tempest now rages, my soul is dis-
tressed,
And the pathway of peace I am losing.
3 And why should I stray with the flocks
of thy foes,
In the desert where now they are rov-

Where hunger and thirst, where affliction
and woes,
And temptations their ruin are proving ?
4 Ah, when shall my woes and my wander-
ings cease,
And the follies that fill me with weeping ?
Thou Shepherd of Israel, restore me that
peace,
Thou dost give to the flock thou art
keeping.
5 A voice from the Shepherd now bids
me return
By the way where the footprints are
lying;
No longer to wander, no longer to mourn:
And homeward my spirit is flying.

I once was a stranger to grace and to God;
I knew not my danger, and felt not my load;
Though friends spoke in rapture of Christ
on the tree,
Jehovah, my Saviour, seemed nothing to me.
2 When free grace awoke me by light from
on high,
Then legal fears shook me : I trembled to die :
No refuge, no safety, in self could I see :
Jehovah, thou only my Saviour must be !
3 My terrors all vanished before his sweet
name;
My guilty fears banished, with boldness I
came
To drink at the fountain, so copious and free :
Jehovah, my Saviour, is all things to me.
4 Jehovah, the Lord, is my treasure and
boast;
Jehovah, my Saviour, I ne'er can be lost;
In thee I shall conquer, by flood and by
field,
Jehovah my anchor, Jehovah my shield!
Oftv "Looking unto Jesus." j. n. darby.
0 eyes that are weary, and hearts that
are sore!
Look off unto Jesus, now sorrow no more!
The light of his countenance shineth so
bright,
That here, as in heaven, there need be no
night.
2 While looking to Jesus, my heart can-
not fear;
1 tremble no more when I see Jesus near;
I know that his presence my safeguard
will be,
For, "Why are you troubled?" he saith
unto me.
3 Still looking to Jesus, oh, may I be found,
When Jordan's dark waters encompass me
round:
They bear me away in his presence to be :
I see him still nearer whom always I see.
4 Then, then shall I know the full beauty
and grace
Of Jesus, my Lord, when I stand face to face ;
Shall know how his love went before me
each day,
And wonder that ever my eyes turned away.

Ye angels ! who stand round the throne,
And view my Immanuel's face, —
In rapturous songs make him known,
Oh, tune your soft harps to his praise:
He formed you the spirits you are,
So happy, so noble, so good;
When others sank down in despair,
Confirmed 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 glory display,
And all his rich mercy repeat;
He snatched you from hell and the grave,
He ransomed 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 Saviour belong !
I want — oh, I want to be there,
To sorrow and sin bid adieu —
Your joy and your friendship to share —
To wonder, and worship with you !

Whom, not having seen, I adore,

My soul from her portion in thee;
Ah, strike off this adamant chain,
And make me eternally free !
2 When that happy era begins,
When arrayed in thy glories I shine,
Nor grieve any more, by my sins,
The bosom on which I recline,
Oh, then shall the vail be removed,
And round me thy brightness be poured 1
I shall meet him, whom absent I loved,
I shall see, whom unseen I adored.
3 And then, nevermore shall the fears,
The trials, temptations, and woes,
Which darken this valley of tears,
Intrude on my blissful repose:
To Jesus, the crown of my hope,
My soul is in haste to be gone;
Oh, bear me, ye cherubim, up,
And waft me away to his throne !

Uwi " Altogether lovely." f. e. cox, iV.
Earth has nothing sweet or fair,
Lovely forms or beauties rare,
But before my eyes they bring
Christ, of beauty Source and Spring.
2 When the morning paints the skies,
When the golden sunbeams rise,
Then my Saviour's form I find
Brightly imaged on my mind.
3 When the star-beams pierce the night,
Oft I think on Jesus' light;
Think how bright that light will be,
Shining through eternity.
4 Come, Lord Jesus ! and dispel
This dark cloud in which I dwell,
And to me the power impart
To behold thee as thou art.
"wC? "Itnmanuel." j. newton.
Sweeter sounds than music knows
Charm me in Immanuel's name;
All her hopes my spirit owes
To his birth, and cross, and shame.
2 When he came the angels sung,
" Glory be to God on high: "
Lord, unloose my stammering tongue;
Who should louder sing than I ?
3 Did the Lord a man become,
That he might the law fulfill,
Bleed and suffer in my room, —
And canst thou, my tongue, be still ?
4 No; I must my praises bring,
Though they worthless are, and weak;
For should I refuse to sing,
Sure the very stones would speak.
5 0 my Saviour ! Shield, and Sun,
Shepherd, Brother, Lord, and Friend—
Every precious name in one !
I will love thee without end.
: To live is Christ.'
R. WARDLAW.

Christ, of all my hopes the Ground,
Christ, the Spring of all my joy,
Still in thee let me be found,
Still for thee my powers employ.
2 Fountain of o'erflowing grace !
Freely from thy fullness give;
Till I close my earthly race,
Be it " Christ for me to live I"
3 Firmly trusting in thy blood,
Nothing shall my heart confound.;
Safely I shall pass the flood,
Safely reach Immanuel's ground.
4 When I touch the blesse'd shore,
Back the closing waves shall roll I
Death's dark stream shall nevermore
Part from thee my ravished soul.
5 Thus — oh, thus an entrance give
To the land of cloudless sky;
Having known it "Christ to live,"
Let me know it "gain to die."
LOVE, AND COMMUNION WITH CHRIST.

Saviour ! teach me, day by day,
Love's sweet lesson to obey;
Sweeter lesson cannot be,
Loving him who first loved me.
2 With a childlike heart of love,
At thy bidding may I move;
Prompt to serve and follow thee,
Loving him who first loved me.

Strong to follow in thy grace ;
Learning how to love from thee,
Loving him who first loved me.
4 Love in loving finds employ —
In obedience all her joy;
Ever new that joy will be,
Loving him who first loved me.

Of his love who first loved me.

2 Not softest strains can charm my ears,
Like thy beloved name ;
Nor aught beneath the skies inspire
My heart with equal flame.
3 Where'er I look, my wondering eyes
Unnumbered blessings see ;
But what is life, with all its bliss,
If once compared with thee ?
4 Hast thou a rival in my breast ?
Search, Lord, for thou canst tell
If aught can raise my passions thus,
Or please my soul so well.

\JdO c M. D. yesus' Words.
I heard the voice of Jesus say, —
" Come unto me and rest :
Lay down, thou Weary one, lay down
Thy head upon my breast ! "
I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary, and worn, and sad,
1 found in him a resting-place,
And he hath made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, —
" Behold I freely give
The living water ; thirsty one,
Stoop down, and drink, and live ! "
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream ;
My thirst was quenched, my soul re-
And now I live in him. [vived,
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, —
"I am this dark world's light ;
Look unto me, thy morn shall rise
And -all thy day be bright ! "
I looked to Jesus, and I found
, In him my Star, my Sun ;
And in that light of life I '11 walk,
Till all my journey 's done.
"**'* 7s, 61. Psalm z^. an
Shepherd ! with thy tenderest love,
Guide me to thy fold above ;
Let me hear thy gentle voice ;
More and more in thee rejoice ;
From thy fullness grace receive,
Ever in thy Spirit live.
2 Filled by thee my cup o'erflows,
For thy love no limit knows :
Guardian angels, ever nigh,
Lead and draw my soul on high ;
Constant to my latest end,
Thou my footsteps wilt attend.
3 Jesus, with thy presence blest,
Death is life, and labor rest ;
Guide me while I draw my breath,
Guard me through the gate of death ;
And at last, oh, let me stand,
With the sheep at thy right hand.
""" L. M. D, " I love thee \ Lord ! '" r. heber.
Though sorrows rise and dangers roll,
In waves of darkness o'er my soul ;
Though friends are false, and love de-
And few and evil are my days ; [cays,
Though conscience, fiercest of my foes,
Swells with remembered guilt my woes ;
Yet ev'n in nature's utmost ill,
1 love thee, Lord ! I love thee still !
2 Though Sinai's curse, in thunder dread,
Peals o'er mine unprotected head,
And memory points, with busy pain,
To grace and mercy given in vain ;
Till nature, shrinking in the strife,
Would fly to hell to 'scape from life ;
Though every thought has power to kill,
I love thee, Lord ! I love thee still !
3 Oh, by the pangs thyself hast borne,
The ruffian's blow, the tyrant's scorn,
By Sinai's curse, whose dreadful doom
Was buried in thy guiltless tomb ;
By these my pangs, whose healing smart,
Thy grace hath planted in my heart —
I know, I feel thy bounteous will,
Thou lov'stme,Lord ! thoulov'st me still !

My Shepherd will supply my need,
Jehovah is his name ;
In pastures fresh he makes me feed,
Beside the living stream.
He brings my wandering spirit back,
When I forsake his ways ;
And leads me, for his mercy's sake,
In paths of truth and grace.
2 When I walk through the shades of
Thy presence is my stay 5 [death,
A word of thy supporting breath
Drives all my fears away.
Thy hand, in sight of all my foes,
Doth still my table spread ;
My cup with blessings overflows,
Thine oil anoints my head.
3 The sure provisions of my God
Attend me all my days ;
Oh, may thy house be mine abode,
And all my works be praise :
There would I find a settled rest,
While others go and come, —
No more a stranger, or a guest,
But like a child at home.

O Jesus ! King most wonderful,
Thou Conqueror renowned;
Thou sweetness most ineffable,

Then truth begins to shine,
Then earthly vanities depart,
Then kindles love divine.
3 0 Jesus, Light of all below !

Surpassing all the joys we know,
All tbat we can desire, —
4 May every heart confess thy name,
And ever thee adore ;
And, seeking thee, itself inflame
To seek thee more and more.

Thee may we love alone ;
And ever in our life express
The image of thine own.

Let worldly minds the world pursue —

Once I admired its trifles too,
But grace hath set me free.
2 Its joys can now no longer please,
Nor ev'n content afford :
Far from my heart be joys like these,
For I have seen the Lord.
3 As by the light of opening day
The stars are all concealed,
So earthly pleasures fade away
When Jesus is revealed.
4 Creatures no more divide my choice —
I bid them all depart ;
His name, his love, his gracious voice,
Have fixed my roving heart.
5 And may I hope that thou wilt own
A worthless worm like me ?
Dear Lord ! I would be thine alone,
And wholly live to thee.

And tell the j oy ful story

2 Soon as the morn with roses
Bedecks the dewy east,
And when the sun reposes
Upon the ocean's breast,
My voice, in supplication,
Well-pleased the Lord shall hear :
Oh, grant me thy salvation,
And to my soul draw near.
3 By thee, through life supported,
I'll pass the dangerous road,
With heavenly hosts escorted,
Up to thy bright abode ;
Then cast my crown before thee,
And, all my conflicts o'er,
Unceasingly adore thee : —

Though 1 speak with angel tongues
Bravest words of strength and fire,
They are but as idle songs,
If no love my heart inspire;
All the eloquence shall pass
As the noise of sounding brass.
2 Though I lavish all I have
On the poor in charity,
Though I shrink not from the grave,
Or unmoved the stake can see, —
Till by love the work be crowned,
All shall profitless be found.
3 Come, thou Spirit of pure love,
Who didst forth from God proceed,
Never from my heart remove ;
Let me all thy impulse heed;
Let my heart henceforward be
Moved, controlled, inspired by thee.

Lord, I believe; thy power I own;
Thy word I would obey;

When from thy truth I stray.
2 Lord, I believe; but gloomy fears
Sometimes bedim my sight;
I look to thee with prayers and tears,
And cry for strength and light.

My faith is cold and weak:
My weakness strengthen, and bestow
The confidence I seek.
4 Yes ! I believe ; and only thou
Canst give my soul relief:
Lord, to thy truth my spirit bow;
"Help thou mine unbelief!"
4 The more I triumph in thy gifts,
The more I wait on thee;
The grace that mightily uplifts
Most sweetly humbleth me.

And stronger grow the yearning sweet,
My holy One ! for thee.

For thee, my Helper, more.

How keep the shining way,
And not more tremblingly adore,
And not more humbly pray!

Calm me, my God, and keep me calm;
Let thine outstretched wing
Be like the shade of Elim's palm,
Beside her desert spring.
2 Yes, keep me calm, though loud and rude
The sounds my ear that greet, —
Calm in the closet's solitude,
Calm in the bustling street, —
3 Calm in the hour of buoyant health,
Calm in my hour of pain,
Calm in my poverty or wealth,
Calm in my loss or gain, —
4 Calm in the sufferance of wrong,
Like him who bore my shame,
Calm 'mid the threatening, taunting throng,
Who hate thy holy name.
5 Calm me, my God, and keep me calm,
Soft resting on thy breast;
Soothe me with holy hymn and psalm,
And bid my spirit rest.

And many a tempest lowers,
Shall his own peace our spirits keep,
And Christ's dear love be ours.

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.

My God, how endless is thy love !
Thy gifts are every evening new;
And morning mercies from above,
Gently distill like early dew.
2 Thou spread'st the curtains of the night.
Great Guardian of my sleeping hours;
Thy sovereign word restores the light,
And quickens all my drowsy powers.
3 I yield my powers to thy command;
To thee I consecrate my days;
Perpetual blessings from thine hand
Demand perpetual songs of praise.
"t'^ Faith. j. newton.
Bv faith in Christ I walk with God,
With heaven, my journey's end, in view;
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 my grief and pain,
And he reveals his love to me.
"" *J Contentment. w. cowper, tr.
0 Lord, how full of sweet content
Our years of pilgrimage are spent !
Where'er we dwell, we dwell with thee,
In heaven, in earth, or on the sea.
2 To us remains nor place nor time :
Our country is in every clime:
We can be calm and free from care
On any shore, since God is there.
3 While place we seek, or place we shun,
The soul finds happiness in none;
But with our God to guide our way,
'Tis equal joy to go or stay.
4 Could we be cast where thou art not,
That were indeed a dreadful lot;
But regions none remote we call,
Secure of finding God in all.
GREEK HYMN.
vPWV Voiceless Prayer.
0 blessed God, to thee 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.

OO-l Faith. I. 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.
'-''-''w Self-denial. J. keble.
If on our daily course our mind
Be set, to hallow all we find,
Xew 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.
"\IO Love. I. WATTE
Had I the tongues of Greeks and Jews,
And nobler speech than angels use,
If love be absent, I am found
Like tinkling 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.
"vl^fc 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.

And follow where he leads the way,

L. M. Living to Christ. p. doddridgi
My gracious Lord, I own thy right
To every service I can pay,
And call it my supreme delight
To hear thy dictates and obey.
2 What is my being, but for thee,
Its sure support, its noblest end ?
Thine ever-smiling face to see,
And serve the cause of such a Friend.
3 I would not breathe for worldly joy,
Or to increase my worldly good ;
Nor future days nor powers employ
To spread a sounding name abroad.
4 'T is to my Saviour I would live,
To him who for my ransom died ;
Nor could the bowers of Eden give
Such bliss as blossoms at his side.
5 His work my hoary age shall bless,
When youthful vigor is no more ;
And my last hour of life confess
His dying love, his saving power.
Psalm 103.
669
Oh, bless the Lord, my soul !
Let all within me join,
And aid my tongue to bless his name,
Whose favors are divine.
2 Oh, bless the Lord, my soul,
Nor let his mercies lie
Forgotten in unthankfulness,
And without praises die.
3 ;T is he forgives thy sins,
'T is he relieves thy pain,
'T is he that heals thy sicknesses,
And makes thee young again.
4 He crowns thy life with love,
When ransomed from the grave ;
He that redeemed my soul from hell,
Hath sovereign power to save.
5 He fills the poor with good ;
He gives the sufferers rest:
The Lord hath judgments for the proud
And justice for the oppressed.
6 His wondrous works and ways
He made by Moses known;
But sent the world his truth and grace
By his beloved Son.

Lokd, how secure and blest are they
Who feel the joys of pardoned sin!
Should storms of wrath shake earth and sea,
Their minds have heaven and peace within.
2 The day glides sweetly o'er then* heads,
Made up of innocence and love;
And soft and silent as the shades,
Their nightly minutes gently move
3 Quick as their thoughts their joys come on,
But fly not half so swift away:
Their souls are ever bright as noon,
And calm as summer evenings be.
4 How oft they look to heavenly hills,
Where streams of living pleasures flow ;
And longing hopes and cheerful smiles
Sit undisturbed upon their brow !
5 They scorn to seek earth's golden toys,
But spend the day, and share the night,
In numbering o'er the richer joys
That heaven prepares for their delight.
Remembrance.
J. BOWRING.

Earth's transitory things decay;
Its pomps, its pleasures pass away;
But the sweet memory of the good
Survives in the vicisitude.
2 As, 'mid the ever-rolling sea,
The eternal isles established be,
'Gainst which the surges of the main
Fret, dash, and break themselves in vain ;-
3 As in the heavens, the urns divine
Of golden light for ever shine ;
Tho' clouds may darken, storms may rage,
They still shine on from age to age; —
4 So, through the ocean tide of years,
The memory of the just appears;
So , through the tempest and the gloom,
The good man's virtues light the tomb.

And their salvation to fulfill,
Behold him rising from the dead!
3 He lives! he lives! and sits above,
For ever interceding there:
Who shall divide us from his love,
Or what shall tempt us to despair ?
4 Shall persecution or distress,
Famine, or sword, or nakedness?
He who hath loved us bears us through,
And makes us more than conquerors too,
5 Not all that men on earth can do,
Nor powers on high, nor powers below,
Shall cause his mercy to remove,
Or wean our hearts from Christ, our love.

And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Saviour's blood ?
Died he for me, who caused his pain ?
For me, who him to death pursued ?
Amazing love ! how can it be,
That thou, my Lord, shouldst die for me ?
2 He left his Father's throne above ;
(So free, so infinite his grace !)
Emptied himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam's helpless race;
'Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For, 0 my God, it found out me !

Jesus, with all in him, is mine ;
Alive in him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold I approach the eternal throne,
And claim the crown, thro' Christ my own.

Grace ! 'tis a charming sound !
Harmonious to mine ear 1
Heaven with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.
2 Grace first contrived a way
To save rebellious man;
And all the steps that grace display,
Which drew the wondrous plan.
3 Grace led my roving feet
To tread the heavenly road;
And new supplies each hour I meet
While pressing on to God.
4 Grace all the work shall crown,
Through everlasting days;
It lays in heaven the topmost stone,
And well deserves the praise.
Owl God our Father, c. winkworth, tr.
Here I can firmly rest;
I dare to boast of this,
That God, the highest and the best,
My Friend and Father is.
2 Naught have I of my own,
Naught in the life I lead;
What Christ hath given, that alone
I dare in faith to plead.
3 I rest upon the ground
Of Jesus and his blood;
It is through him that I have found
My soul's eternal good.
4 At cost of all I have,
At cost of life and limb,
1 cling to God who yet shall save;
I will not turn from him.
5 His Spirit in me dwells,
O'er all my mind he reigns ;
My care and sadness he dispels,
And soothes away my pains.
6 He prospers day by day
His work within my heart,
Till I have strength and faith to say,
"Thou, God, my Father art 1"
\9wnt "It is well." j. KENT,
What cheering words are these;
Their sweetness who can tell?
In time, and to eternal days,
'"Tis with the righteous well !"
2 Well when they see his face,
Or sink amidst the flood;
Well in affliction's thorny maze,
Or on the mount with God.
3 'Tis well when joys arise,
'Tis well when sorrows flow,
'Tis well when darkness vails the skies.
And strong temptations grow.
4 'Tis well when Jesus calls, —
" From earth and sin arise,
To join the hosts of ransomed souls.

He that hath made his refuge God,
Shall find a most secure abode ;
Shall walk all day beneath his shade,
And there, at night, shall rest his head.
2 Then will I say, "My God! thy power
Shall be my fortress and my tower ;
I, who am formed of feeble dust,
Make thine almighty arm my trust."
3 Thrice happy man ! thy Maker's care
Shall keep thee from the fowler's snare ; —
Satan, the fowler, who betrays
Unguarded souls a thousand ways.
4 If burning beams of noon conspire
To dart a pestilential fire ,•
God is thy life, — his wings are spread,
To shield thee with a healthful shade.
5 If vapors, with malignant breath,
Rise thick and scatter midnight death,
Israel is safe, the poisoned air
Grows pure, if Israel's God be there.

Since Christ, the Lord, came down from

Justice is pleased, and peace is given.

Religion dwell on earth again,

Delighted at the Saviour's feet ;
Behold the form I love so well,
And all his tender words repeat !

And heaven brought in with all its bliss, —
Oh ! is there aught, from pole to pole,
One moment to compare with this ?
3 This is the hidden life I prize —
A life of penitential love ;
When most my follies I despise,
And raise my highest thoughts above ;
4 When all I am I clearly see,
And freely own, with deepest shame ;
When the Kedeemer's love to me
Kindles within a deathless flame.
5 Thus would I live till nature fail,
And all my former sins forsake ;
Then rise to God within the vail,
And of eternal joys partake.

Beneath my Father's eye ?

I calmly would resign
For thou art just, and good, and wise;
Oh, bend my will to thine.

Oh, give me strength to bear ;

And trust his tender care.

Is not thy mercy still the same,
To cheer my drooping heart ?

And drive my fears away ?

Cease thy complaint, suppress thy groan,

Be still, my heart ! these anxious cares
To thee are burdens, thorns, and snares;
They cast dishonor on thy Lord,
And contradict his gracious word;
Brought safely by his hand thus far,
Why wilt thou now give place to fear?
2 When first before his mercy-seat
Thou didst to him thy all commit,
He gave thee warrant from that hour
To trust his wisdom, love, and power:
Did ever trouble yet befall
And he refuse to hear thy call ?
3 He who has helped thee hitherto,
Will help thee all thy journey through;
Though rough and thorny be the road,
It leads thee home, apace, to God;
Then count thy present trials small,
For heaven will make amends for all.
• "" " As thy days." L. H. SIGOURNEY.

And in my heart despondence sighs;
When life her throng of cares reveals,
And weakness o'er my spirit steals,
Grateful I hear the kind decree,
That "as my day, my strength shall be."

One pang — the keenest and the last;
And when, with brow convulsed and pale,
My feeble, quivering heart-strings fail,
Redeemer ! grant my soul to see
That "as my day, my strength shall be."

That my poor heart yearned upon,-
Desolate, bereft, alone,
Saviour, comfort me !
3 Thou, who wast so sorely tried,
In the darkness crucified,
Bid me in thy love confide;
Saviour, comfort me !
4 Comfort me; I am cast down:
'Tis my heavenly Father's frown;
I deserve it all, I own:
Saviour, comfort me !
5 So it shall be good for me
Much afflicted now to be,
If thou wilt but tenderly,
Saviour, comfort me !

Cast thy burden, on the Lord,
Only lean upon his word;
Thou wilt soon have cause to bless
His unchanging faithfulness.

From his grace are never moved.

Not to live without the cross,

Sanctifying every loss.

But with humble faith to see
Love inscribed upon them all, —
This is happiness to me.

Of affliction, pain and toil;

No chastisement by the way,

And rest delay to come,
Blest be the sorrow — kind the storm,

All yield to thy control:

How tender is thy hand,

Afflictions come at thy command,
And leave us at thy word.
2 How gentle was the rod
That chastened us for sin !
How soon we found a smiling God,
Where deep distress had been !
3 A Father's hand we felt,
A Father's heart we knew;
With tears of penitence we knelt,
And found his word was true.
4 We told him all our grief,
We thought of Jesus' love;
A sense of pardon brought relief,
And bade our pains remove.
5 Now we will bless the Lord,
And in his strength confide ;
For ever be his name adored;
For there is none beside.
Psalm 103.

Whose mercies are so great;
Whose anger is so slow to rise,
So ready to abate.
2 God will not always chide ;
And when his strokes are felt,
His strokes are fewer than our crimes,
And lighter than our guilt.
3 The pity of the Lord
To those that fear his name,
Is such as tender parents feel:
He knows our feeble frame.
4 Our clays are as the grass,
Or like the morning flower;
If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field,
It withers in an hour.

To endless years endure;
And children's children ever find
Thy words of promise sure.

Since on thine arm thou bid'st me lean,
Help me, throughout life's changing scene,
By faith to cling to thee!
2 What though the world deceitful prove,
And earthly friends and hopes remove ;
With patient, uncomplaining love,
Still would I cling to thee.

Life's dreary waste, with thorns o'ergrown,
Thy voice of love, in gentlest tone,
Still whispers, "Cling to me!"

So safe, so calm, so satisfied,
The soul that clings to thee!

With mocking shine, an aching frame ;

I make my humble wishes known;
I only ask a will resigned,
O Father, to thine own.
3 In vain I task my aching brain,
In vain the sage's thoughts I scan;
I only feel how weak I am,
How poor and blind is man.
4 And now my spirit sighs for home,
And longs for light whereby to see;
And, like a weary child, would come,
0 Father, unto thee.

There is an hour when I must part
With all I hold most dear ;
And life, with its best hopes, will then
As nothingness appear.
2 There is an hour when I must sink
Beneath the stroke of death ;
And yield to him, who gave it first,
My struggling vital breath.
3 There is an hour when I must stand
Before the judgment-seat ;
And all my sins, and all my foes,
In awful vision meet.
4 There is an hour when I must look
On one eternity ;
And nameless woe, or blissful life,
My endless portion be.
5 0 Saviour, then, in all my need
Be near, be near to me :
And let my soul, by steadfast faith,
Find life and heaven in thee.

In every trying hour
My soul to Jesus flies ;

When swelling billows rise.
2 His comforts bear me up ;
I trust a faithful God ;
The sure foundation of my hope
Is in my Saviour's blood.

To our Redeemer's name ;
In joy or sorrow — life or death —
His love is still the same.

To break the dream of human power,
For now my shallow cistern 's spent,
I find thy fount and thirst no more.
2 I take thy hand and fears grow still :
Behold thy face, and doubts remove ;
Who would not yield his wavering will
To perfect truth and boundless love !
3 That truth gives promise of a dawn,
Beneath whose light I am to see,
When all these blinding vails are drawn,
This was the wisest path for me.

The strength of thy eternal calm ;
And tunes its sad and broken speech,
To sing ev'n now the angels' psalm.

Tarry with me, 0 my Saviour !
For the day is passing by ;
See ! the shades of evening gather,
And the night is drawing nigh.
2 Deeper, deeper grow the shadows,
Paler now the glowing west,
Swift the night of death advances ;
Shall it be the night of rest %
3 Lonely seems the vale of shadow ;
Sinks my heart with troubled fear ;
Give me faith for clearer vision,
Speak thou, Lord, in words of cheer.
4 Let me hear thy voice behind me,
Calming all these wild alarms ;
Let me, underneath my weakness,
Feel the everlasting arms.
5 Feeble, trembling, fainting, dying,
Lord, I cast myself on thee ;
Tarry with me through the darkness ;
While I sleep, still watch by me.
6 Tarry with me, 0 my Saviour !
Lay my head upon thy breast
Till the morning ; then awake me—
Morning of eternal rest !

I did thee wrong, my God,
I wronged thy truth and love ;

Against thy power I strove.
Come nearer, nearer still ;
Let not thy light depart ;
Bend, break this stubborn will ;
Dissolve this iron heart !
2 Less wayward let me be,
More pliable and mild ;
In glad simplicity
More like a trustful child.
Less, less of self each day,
And more, my God, of thee ;
Oh, keep me in the way,
However rough it be.

Less of the world and sin :
More of thy Son, I pray,
More of thyself within.
More moulded to thy will,

And words of peace reveal.
How charming is their voice !
How sweet their tidings are !
"Zion, behold thy Saviour King;

And sought, but never found.

But died without the sight.

Into thy Church abroad;
And let them speak thy word of power,
As workers with their God.

The word of general grace;

Thy universal grace proclaim
Thy all-redeeming love.
On all mankind forgiven,
Empower them still to call,
And tell each creature under heaven,
That thou hast died for all.

Springing from eternal love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove :

Never fails from age to age.

See the cloud and fire appear

Showing that the Lord is near !

Safe they feed upon the manna

Hear what God, the Lord hath spoken;
0 my people, faint and few,
Comfortless, afflicted, broken,
Fair abodes I build for you;
Scenes of heartfelt tribulation
Shall no more perplex your ways;
You shall name your walls "Salvation,"
And your gates shall all be "Praise."
2 There, like streams that feed the garden,
Pleasures without end shall flow ;
For the Lord, your faith rewarding,
All his bounty shall bestow.
Still in undisturbed possession
Peace and righteousness shall reign;
Never shall you feel oppression,
Hear the voice of war again.
3 Ye, no more your suns descending,
Waning moons no more shall see,
But, your griefs for ever ending,
Find eternal noon in me.
God shall rise, and shining o'er you,
Change to day the gloom of night;
He, the Lord, shall be your Glory,
God, your everlasting Light.

The perfect world, by Adam trod,
Was the first temple, — built by God;
His fiat laid the corner-stone,
And heaved its pillars, one by one.
2 He hung its starry roof on high —
The broad, illimitable sky;
He spread its pavement, green and bright,
And curtained it with morning light.
3 The mountains in their places stood,
The sea — the sky — and "all was good;"
And when its first pure praises rang,
The "morning stars together sang."
4 Lord, 'tis not ours to make the sea,
And earth, and sky, a house for thee;
But in thy sight our offering stands —
An humbler temple, "made with hands."

Teach them immortal souls to gain,
Nor let them labor, Lord, in vain.

Hear from their lips the joyful sound;
And light through distant realms be spread
Till Zion rears her drooping head.

• • * S. M. Psalm 48. 1. wat
Great is the Lord our God,
And let his praise be great ;
He makes his churches his abode,
His most delightful seat.
2 These temples of his grace,
How beautiful they stand !
The honors of our native place,
The bulwarks of our land.
3 In Zion God is known,
A refuge in distress ;
How bright has his salvation shone
Through all her palaces !
4 Oft have our fathers told,
Our eyes have often seen,
How well our God secures the fold
Where his own sheep have been.
5 In every new distress
We '11 to his house repair,
We '11 think upon his wondrous grace,
And seek deliverance there.

Daughter of Zion ! awake from thy sad-
ness :
Awake, for thy foes shall oppress thee
no more ;
Bright o'er thy hills dawns the day-star
of gladness ;
Arise ! for the night of thy sorrow is
o'er.
2 Strong were thy foes, but the arm
that subdued them,
And scattered their legions, was might-
ier far ;
They fled, like the chaff, from the scourge
that pursued them ;
For vain were their steeds and their
chariots of war !
3 Daughter of Zion ! the Power that
hath saved thee,
Extolled with the harp and the tim-
brel should be :
Shout ! for the foe is destroyed that en-
slaved thee,
Th' oppressor is vanquished, and Zion
is free !

With thy word, the heavenly bread:

Work while it is to-day !

With docile miuds let us obey,
As learners in his school.

Of thee the power and will,
With fear and meekness, every task
Of duty to fulfill.

Adorn redeeming grace;
And sow abroad the precious seed
Of truth in every place: —
4 That thus the wilderness
May blossom like the rose,
And trees spring up of righteousness,
Where'er life's river flows.

Still may we watch and pray,
And, persevering to the end,
Work while it is to-day.

Whate'er the gift may be:

And gladly, as thou blessest us,
To thee our first-fruits give.

Whate'er for thine we do, O Lord,
We do it unto thee.

Lost by the fiery, maddening bowl,
And turned to hopeless night.
3 Mourn for the lost, — but call,
Call to the strong, the free;
Rouse them to shun the dreadful fall,
And to the refuge flee.

Pray to our God above,
To break the fell destroyer's sway,
And show his saving love.

Rich reward he offers free;
Who will answer, gladly saying,

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 tell 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 ! "
Gladly take the task he gives you,
Let his work your pleasure be;

Up the mountain steep and high,

Reach an ever open hand,

To form in our obedient souls

The generous pleasure know,
Kindly to share in others' joy,
And weep for others' woe !

In low distress are laid,
Soft be our hearts their pains to feel,
And swift our hands to aid.
4 So Jesus looked on dying men,
When throned above the skies;
And mid the embraces of his God,
He felt compassion rise.

To raise us from the ground,
And made the richest of his blood
A balm for every wound.

Scorn not the slightest word or deed,
Nor deem it void of power;
There 's fruit in each wind-wafted seed,
That waits its natal hour.

And call it back to life;
A look of love bid 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.

Nor care how small it be;

Who bore the world's sad weight,
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.

Yet thou hast taught us, Lord,
If given for the Saviour's sake,
They lose not their reward.

A stranger's woes to feel; [warmth
And bleeds in pity o'er the wound
He wants the power to heal.
3 He spreads his kind supporting arms
To every child of grief;
His secret bounty largely flows,
And brings unasked relief.
4 To gentle offices of love
His feet are never slow:
He views, through mercy's melting eye,

Great God, now condescend
To bless our rising race ;
Soon may their willing spirits bend,
The subjects of thy grace.
2 Oh, what a pure delight
Their happiness to see;
Our warmest wishes all unite
To lead their souls to thee.

"Suffer them to come." h. u. onderdonk.
The Saviour kindly calls
Our children to his breast;
He folds them in his gracious arms,
Himself declares them blest.
2 "Let them approach," he cries,
"Nor scorn their humble claim;
The heirs of heaven are such as these,
For such as these I came."
3 With joy we bring them, Lord,
Devoting them to thee,
Imploring, that, as we are thine,
Thine may our offspring be.

While the lambs thy bosom share;

Fold them in thy gracious arm;
There, we know, thy word believing,
Only there, secure from harm.
2 Never, from thy pasture roving,
Let them be the lion's prey;
Let thy tenderness, so loving,
Keep them all life's dangerous way;
Then, within thy fold eternal,
Let them find a resting-place,
Feed in pastures ever vernal,
Drink the rivers of thy grace.

Who vailed his Godhead in our clay,
And in an humble manger lay.
2 To Jordan's stream the Spirit led,
To mark the path his saints should tread;
With joy they trace the sacred way,
To see the place where. Jesus lay.
3 Baptized by John in Jordan's wave,
The Saviour left his watery grave;
Heaven owned the deed, approved the way,
And blessed the place where Jesus lay.
4 Come, all who love his precious name,
Come, tread his steps, and learn of him;
Happy beyond expression they
Who find the place where Jesus lay.

Our Saviour bowed beneath the wave,
And meekly sought a watery grave;
Come, see the sacred path he trod,
A path well pleasing to our God.
2 His voice we hear, his footsteps trace,
And hither come to seek his face,
To do his will, to feel his love,
And join our songs with songs above.

Come, Holy Spirit, Dove divine,
On these baptismal waters shine,
And teach our hearts, in highest strain,
To praise the Lamb for sinners slain.

And joyfully embrace thy cause;
We love thy cross, the shame, the pain,

3 We sink beneath thy mystic flood,
Oh, bathe us in thy cleansing blood;
We die to sin, and seek a grave
With thee, beneath the yielding wave.

Oh, let the Holy Spirit give

Buried in baptism with our Lord,
We rise with him, to life restored;
Not the bare life in Adam lost,
But richer far, for more it cost.

But Christ well knows, and Christ alone,
How dear to him our cleansing stood,
Baptized in fire, and bathed in blood.

This precious blood can wash us clean;
And he arrays us in the dress
Of his unspotted righteousness.

OtffW Christian Obedience. M. s. newcomer.
While darkness reigns o'er Olive's brow,
And sad disciples meet,
Christ, the Anointed, deigns to bow,
And wash his people's feet.
2 Rejoicing with God's only Son,
We still his words repeat,
Eager to do what he hath done,
And wash each other's feet.
3 Xot mine to ask the reason why,
If I am Christ's alone;
He speaks, and shall my soul deny
His sceptre and his throne ?
4 Wash me, dear Lord, and mine thou art,
Wash me with blood again,
And let thy voice, within my heart,
Repeat the glad amen!
5 Did Christ abase himself for me,
And shall my heart disdain
To bow itself as low as he,
The King of endless reign ?
6 0 God! thou Helper, crucify
Our selfishness and pride;
And 'neath the glance of Jesus' eye,
We'll crown the Prince who died!
G
COO Christ our Example, john winebrenner.
The Church of God believes it right
To think and do as Jesus bade,
When on that dark and doleful night
He gave his law, and plainly said: —
2 Mark the example which I give;
Keep it, and show your mutual love:
My precepts do, and you shall live,
In bliss below, and heaven above.
3 Then, do we love our brethren now ?
And are we bound in union sweet?
If so, like Jesus, let us bow,
And let us wash each other's feet.
4 Let no one be ashamed of this, —
Or, Peter-like, turn and say, no;
But as we aim for heavenly bliss,
We '11 in our Master's footsteps go.
5 Now, Lord, we '11 wash thy people's feet
And here enjoy their fond embrace;
Each with a kiss of friendship greet;
And hope in love to see thy face.
6 And then we '11 feast on heavenly love
And find our joys to be complete:
Yes, then we '11 sing thy praise above,
And bow, with angels, at thy feet.

With cheerful heart and willing mind,
To all his precepts be inclined.
Cho. — 0 blessed Redeemer!
Thou who hast died for me;
Whatever thy will may be, dear Lord,
I '11 gladly follow thee.
2 The last great Feast-time having come
Before our Lord was going home —
Adorned in humbleness complete,
He washed his twelve disciples' feet.
3 Then, seated in their midst again,
This new example to explain,
He taught them how to understand,
And to observe this plain command.
4 "Ye call me Lord and Master, — true,
For so I am." Then ought ye too
Be of a meek and lowly mind;
In sweet obedience pleasure find.
5 If I, your Lord, have seen it meet,
To stoop and wash my brethren's feet;
No greater than your Lord are ye;
Then in this act do follow me.
6 Dear Lord, we'll gladly follow thee:
We come in deep humility;
Oh, bless us now, while here we meet,
Thy will to do in washing feet.
Q Q K Feet-washing a Church Ordifiauce.
OOO C. M. H. c. s
In Jesus' name once more we meet,
To honor him who said:
Ye ought to wash each other's feet
As I the way have led.
2 Shall we forget the sacred rite,
Our dying Lord ordained,
Upon that dark and solemn night,
When he our woe-cup drained ?
3 With words of love, sublime and sweet,
He cheered each fainting heart,
And washed and wiped those loved one's feet,
From whom he soon must part.
4 Girded to serve, the Lord of all
Thus taught humility;
And still his voice doth on us call,
"Fear not, but follow me."
5 "If I, your Lord and Master, thought
A servant's office meet,
Be not ashamed, but know ye ought
To wash each other's feet."
6 Yea, Lord, we will remember thee,
And keep this plain command;
Oh, may our hearts obedient be
In one united band.

Entirely to thy hands.
2 To thee we still would cleave
With ever-growing zeal;
If millions tempt us Christ to leave,
Oh, let them ne'er prevail !
3 Thy Spirit shall unite
Our souls to thee, our Head;
Shall form in us thine image bright,
And teach thy paths to tread.
4 Death may our souls divide
From these abodes of clay ;
But love shall keep us near thy side,
Through all the gloomy way.

Why should we doubt or fear?
If he in heaven has fixed his throne,
He'll fix his members there.

A parting hymn we sing,
Around thy table, Lord;
Again our grateful tribute bring,
Our solemn vows record.
2 Here have we seen thy face,
And felt thy presence here;
So may the savor of thy grace
In word and life appear.
3 The purchase of thy blood —
By sin no longer led —
The path our dear Redeemer trod
May we rejoicing tread.

Until we join the church above,
And know as we are known.

A self-renouncing will,
That tramples down, and casts behind
The lures of pleasing ill; —
3 I want a godly fear,
A quick-discerning eye,
That looks to thee when sin is near,
And sees the tempter fly; —

And armed with jealous care,
For ever standing on its guard3
And watching unto prayer.

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

That sweetly drew us in;

And perished in our sin.

And bring the strangers home.

According to thy gracious word,
In meek humility,
This will I do, my dying Lord,
I will remember thee.

My bread from heaven shall be;

And thus remember thee.

Or there thy conflict see,
Thine agony and bloody sweat,
And not remember thee ?

And rest on Calvary,

I must remember thee: —
5 Remember thee, and all thy pains
And all thy love to me;
Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains,
Will I remember thee.

And mind and memory flee,
When thou shalt in thy kingdom come,
Then, Lord, remember me !

And owns the grateful tie:
If tender thoughts within us burn,
To feel a friend is nigh ; —
2 Oh, shall not warmer accents tell
The gratitude we owe
To him, who died our fears to quell — ■
Who bore our guilt and woe !
3 While yet in anguish he surveyed
Those pangs he would not flee,
What love his latest words displayed, —
"Meet and remember me !"
4 Remember thee — thy death, thy shame,
Our sinful hearts to share ! —
0 memory ! leave no other name
But his recorded there.

On this earthly bread and wine,

On the cross, to make us thine.

With the still small voice of love;
Whispering words of peace to cheer us—

Of thy life, and death of woe;
And, with hopes of endless glory,

Enter on their rest above,
Seems the earth so poor and vast,
All our life joy overcast ?
Hush, be every murmur dumb;

Drink the wine, and break the bread;

Wide fields, for harvest whitening,
Invite the reaper's toil.
2 Go, where the waves are breaking
On California's shore,
Christ's precious gospel taking,
More rich than golden ore;
On Alleghany's mountains,
Through all the western vale,
Beside Missouri's fountains,
Rehearse the wondrous tale.
3 The love of Christ unfolding,
Speed on from east to west,
Till all, his cross beholding,
In him are fully blest.
Great Author of salvation,
Haste, haste the glorious day,
When we, a ransomed nation,
Thy sceptre shall obey.
CJvtF Christian Union. j, BORTHWICK.
And is the time approaching,
By prophets long foretold,
G
When all shall dwell together,
One shepherd and one fold?
Shall every idol perish,
To moles and bats be thrown,
And every prayer be offered
To God in Christ alone ?
2 Shall Jew and Gentile, meeting
From many a distant shore,
Around one altar kneeling,
One common Lord adore?
Shall all that now divides us
Remove and pass away,
Like shadows of the morning
Before the blaZe of day ?
3 Shall all that now unites us
More sweet and lasting prove,
A closer bond of union,
In a blest land of love ?
Shall war be learned no longer.
Shall strife and tumult cease,
All earth his blessed kingdom,
The Lord and Prince of Peace?
4 0 long-expected dawning,
Come with thy cheering ray !
When shall the morning brighten,
The shadows flee away ?
0 sweet anticipation !
It cheers the watchers on,
To pray, and hope, and labor,
Till the dark night be gone.

O VT Psalm 72. J. MONTGOMERY.
Hail to the Lord's anointed,
Great David's greater Son !
Hail, in the time appointed,
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 light,
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:
G
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 shall spread and flourish,
And shake like Lebanon.
1 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!

The morning light is breaking;
The darkness disappears!
The sons of earth are waking
To penitential tears;
Each breeze that sweeps the ocean
Brings tidings from afar,
Of nations in commotion,
Prepared for Zion's war.
2 See heathen nations bending
Before the God we love,
And thousand hearts ascending
In gratitude above:
While sinners, now confessing,
The gospel call obey,
And seek the Saviour's blessing — >
A nation in a day.

Pursue thine onward way;
Flow thou to every nation,
Nor in thy richness stay:
Stay not till all the lowly
Triumphant reach their home:
Stay not till all the holy
Proclaim — "The Lord is come!"

Unless thou return again.

Shine upon us from on high,
Lest, for want of thine assistance,
Every plant should droop and die.

Every part looked gay and green;
Then thy word our spirits nourished:
Happy seasons we have seen.
4 But a drought has since succeeded,
And a sad decline we see:
Lord, thy help is greatly needed:
Help can only come from thee.
5 Let our mutual love be fervent:
Make us prevalent in prayer;
Let each one esteemed thy servant
Shun the world's bewitching snare.

Turn the stony heart to flesh,
And begin from this good hour
To revive thy work afresh.

And make her dying graces live
By thy restoring power.
2 Awake thy chosen few
To fervent earnest prayer;
Again may they their vows renew,
Thy blessdd presence share.
3 Thy Spirit then will speak
Through lips of feeble clay,
And hearts of adamant will break,
And rebels will obey.
4 Lord, lend thy gracious ear;
Oh, listen to our cry;
Oh, come and bring salvation here:
Our hopes on thee rely.

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.
*fU\J Psalm 72. 1. 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.
v JL v Psalm 46. 1. 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, 4 The saints shall flourish in his days,
Our grief allays, our fear controls; Dressed in the robes of joy and praise;
Sweet peace thy promises afford, Peace, like a river, from his throne,
And give new strength to fainting souls. Shall flow to nations yet unknown.

Triumphant Zion, lift thy head
From dust, and darkness, and the dead;
Though humbled long, awake at length,.
And gird thee with thy Saviour's strength.
2 Put all thy beauteous garments on,
And let thy various charms be known:
The world thy glories shall confess,
Decked in the robes of righteousness.
3 No more shall foes unclean invade,
And fill thy hallowed walls with dread ;
No more shall hell's insulting host
Their victory and thy sorrows boast.
4 God, from on high, thy groans will hear;
His hand thy ruins shall repair;
Nor will thy watchful Monarch cease
To guard thee in eternal peace.
VUU Ancient Israel. j. Joyce.
Why on the bending willows hung,
Israel ! still sleeps thy tuneful string ?-
Still mute remains thy sullen tongue,
And Zion's song denies to sing ?
2 Awake ! thy sweetest raptures raise ;
Let harp and voice unite their strains:
Thy promised King his sceptre sways:
Jesus, thine own Messiah, reigns !
3 No taunting foes the song require ;
No strangers mock thy captive chain ;
But friends provoke the silent lyre,
And brethren ask the holy strain.
4 Nor fear thy Salem's hills to wrong,
If other lands thy triumphs share:
A heavenly city claims thy song;
A brighter Salem rises there.
5 By foreign streams no longer roam ;
Nor, weeping, think of Jordan's flood:
In every clime behold a home,
In every temple see thy God.
vUtt Home Missions. w. C. bryant
Look from thy sphere of endless day,
O God of mercy and of might !
In pity look on those who stray,
Benighted in this land of light.
2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen,
In crowded mart, by stream or sea,
How many of the sons of men
Hear not the message sent from thee !
3 Send forth thy heralds, Lord, to call
The thoughtless young, the hardened old,
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.
5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene,
That makes us sadden as we gaze,
Shall grow with living waters green,
And lift to heaven the voice of praise.

V &*£■ L. M. Psalm 87. I. WATTS.
God, in his earthly temple, lays
Foundations for his heavenly praise ;
He likes the tents of Jacob well ;
But still in Zion loves to dwell.
2 His mercy visits every house
That pay their night and morning vows,
But makes a more delightful stay
Where churches meet to praise and pray.
3 What glories were described of old !
What wonders are of Zion told !
Thou city of our God below !
Thy fame shall Tyre and Egypt know.
4 Egypt and Tyre, and Greek and Jew,
Shall there begin their lives anew ;
Angels and men shall join to sing
The hill where living waters spring.
5 When God makes up his last account
Of natives in his holy mount,
'T will be an honor to appear,
As one new-born, or nourished there.
vUtf l. M. Psalm 80. I. WATTS.
Great Shepherd of thine Israel !
Who didst between the cherubs dwell,
And lead the tribes, thy chosen sheep,
Safe through the desert and the deep ; —
2 Thy Church is in the desert now ;
Shine from on high and guide us through ;
Turn us to thee, thy love restore ;
We shall be saved, and sigh no more.
3 Hast thou not planted, with thy hand,
A lovely vine in this our land ?
Did not thy power defend it round,
And heavenly clews enrich the ground ?
4 Return, almighty God ! return,
Nor let thy bleeding vineyard mourn :
Turn us to thee, thy love restore ;
We shall be saved, and sigh no more.
UU\) 8s, 7s, 6 1. "Alleluia." anon.
Hallelujah ! song of gladness,
Song of everlasting joy ;
Hallelujah ! song the sweetest
That can angel-hosts employ ;
Hymning in God's holy presence
Their high praise eternally.
2 Hallelujah ! church victorious,
Thou mayst lift this joyful strain :
Hallelujah ! songs of triumph
Well befit the ransomed train :
We our song must raise with sadness,
While in exile we remain.
3 Hallelujah ! strains of gladness
Suit not souls with anguish torn ;
Hallelujah ! notes of sadness
Best befit our state forlorn :
For, in this dark world of sorrow,
We, with tears, our sin must mourn.
4 But our earnest supplication,
Holy God, we raise to thee ;
Bring us to thy blissful presence,
Make us all thy joys to see ;
Then we '11 sing our Hallelujah, —
Sing to all eternity.
v""» • 7s, 6s, D. Psalm 14. h. f. i.ytk.
Oh, that the Lord's salvation
Were out of Zion come,
To heal his ancient nation,
To lead his outcasts home !
How long the holy city
Shall heathen feet profane ?
Return, 0 Lord, in pity,
Rebuild her walls again.
2 Let fall thy rod of terror,
Thy saving grace impart ;
Roll back the vail of error,
Release the fettered heart ;
Let Israel, home returning,
Their lost Messiah see ;
Give oil of joy for mourning,
And bind thy Church to thee.

The deserts learn thy praise,
The hills and valleys greeting,
The song responsive raise.

www 7S, D. Gospel Increase.
See ! how great a flame aspires,
Kindled by a spark of grace !
Jesus' love the nations fires, —
Sets the kingdoms on a blaze ;
Fire to bring on earth he came ;
Kindled in some hearts it is ;
Oh, that all might catch the flame,
All partake the glorious bliss !
2 When he first the work begun,
Small and feeble was his day :
Now the word doth swiftly run ;
Now it wins its widening way :
More and more it spreads and grows,
Ever mighty to prevail ;
Sin's strongholds it now o'erthrows, —
Shakes the trembling gates of hell.
3 Sons of God ! your Saviour praise ;
He the door hath opened wide ;
He hath given the word of grace ;
Jesus' word is glorified ;
Jesus, mighty to redeem —
He alone the work hath wrought ;
Worthy is the work of him, —
Him who spake a world from naught.

t/lfXJ c. M. Psalm 102.
LErZion and her sons rejoice —
Behold the promised hour !
Her God hath heard her mourning voice,
And comes to exalt his power.
2 Her dust and ruins that remain
Are precious in our eyes ;
Those ruins shall be built again,
And all that dust shall rise.
3 The Lord will raise Jerusalem,
And stand in glory there ;
Nations shall bow before his name,
And kings attend with fear.
4 He sits a sovereign on his throne,
With pity in his eyes ;
He hears the dying prisoners' groan,
And sees their sighs arise.
5 He frees the souls condemned to death ;
Nor, when his saints complain,
Shall it be said that praying breath
Was ever spent in vain.

t»WX c. M. Isaiah 52: 1,2. J.MONTGOMERY.
Daughter of Zion ! from the dust
Exalt thy fallen head ;
Again in thy Redeemer trust, —
He calls thee from the dead.
2 Awake, awake, put on thy strength, —
Thy beautiful array-;
The day of freedom dawns at length, —
The Lord's appointed day.
3 Rebuild thy walls, thy bounds enlarge,
And send thy heralds foriJh ;
Say to the south, — " Give up thy charge,
And keep not back, 0 north ! "
4 They come ! they come ! thine exiled
bands,
Where'er they rest or roam,
Have heard thy voice in distant lands,
And hasten to their home.
5 Thus, though the universe shall burn,
And God his works destroy,
With songs, the ransomed shall return,
And everlasting joy.

In its narrow bed 'tis sleeping!
And no sigh of anguish sore
Heaves that little bosom more.
2 In this world of care and pain,
Lord, thou wouldst no longer leave it;
To the sunny heavenly plain
Thou dost now with joy receive it;
Clothed in robes of spotless white,
Now it dwells with thee in light.
3 Ah, Lord Jesus, grant that we

That its heavenly food are giving;

Though thou take what most we love.

Behold the western evening light!
It melts in deepening gloom :
So calmly Christians sink away,
Descending to the tomb.
The winds breathe low, the withering leaf
Scarce whispers from the tree:
So gently flows the parting breath,
When good men cease to be.
2 How beautiful on all the hills
The crimson light is shed!
'Tis like the peace the Christian gives
To mourners round his bed.
How mildly on the wandering cloud
The sunset beam is cast!
'Tis like the memory left behind
When loved ones breathe their last.
3 And now above the dews of night
The rising star appears:
So faith springs in the heart of those
Whose eyes are bathed in tears.
But soon the morning's happier light
Its glory shall restore,
And eyelids that are sealed in death
Shall wake to close no more.
QQQ
Otf(J "Number our days." r. heber.
Beneath our feet and o'er our head
Is equal warning given;
Beneath us he the countless dead,
Above us is the heaven!
Death rides on every passing breeze,
And lurks in every flower;
Each season hath its own disease,
Its peril every hour!
2 Our eyes have seen the rosy light
Of youth's soft cheek decay;
And fate descend in sudden night
On manhood's middle day.
Our eyes have seen the steps of age
Halt feebly to the tomb;
And yet shall earth our hearts engage,
And dreams of days to come?
3 Then, mortal, turn! thy danger know;
Where'er thy foot can tread,
The earth rings hollow from below,
And warns thee of her dead!
Turn, mortal, turn! thy soul apply
To truths divinely given:
The dead, who underneath thee lie,
Shall live for hell or heaven!

Fright our approaching souls away ;

How blest the righteous when he dies, —
When sinks a weary soul to rest !
How mildly beam the closing eyes !
How gently heaves the expiring breast !
2 So fades a summer-cloud away;
So sinks the gale when storms are o'er;
So gently shuts the eye of day ;
So dies a wave along the shore.
3 A holy quiet reigns around, —
A calm which life nor death destroys;
And naught disturbs that peace profound,
Which his unfettered soul enjoys.
4 Life's labor done, as sinks the clay,
Light from its load the spirit flies;
While heaven and earth combine to say, —
" How blest the righteous when he dies ! "

*J^*3 Psalm 90. 1. watts.
Through every age, eternal God !
Thou art our Rest, our safe Abode;
High was thy throne, ere heaven was made.
Or earth thy humble footstool laid.
2 Long hadst thou reigned, ere time began.
Or dust was fashioned into man;
And long thy kingdom shall endure,
When earth and time shall be no more.
3 Death, like an overflowing stream.
Sweeps us away; our life's a dream;
An empty tale; a morning flower,
Cut down, and withered in an hour
4 Teach us, 0 Lord, how frail is man;
And kindly lengthen out our span,
Till thine own grace, so rich, so free.
Fit us to die and dwell with thee.

VMltf Death, of an Infant. A. Steele,
So fades the lovely, blooming flower,-
Frail smiling solace of an hour !
So soon our transient comforts fly,
And pleasure only blooms to die.
2 Is there no kind, no lenient art,
To heal the anguish of the heart?
Spirit of grace ! be ever nigh,
Thy comforts are not made to die.
3 Thy powerful aid supports the soul,
And nature owns thy kind control;
While we peruse the sacred page,
Our fiercest griefs resign their rage.
4 Then gentle patience smiles on pain,
And dying hope revives again;
Hope wipes the tear from sorrow's eye,
And faith points upward to the sky.

"For ever with the Lord !"
So, Jesus 1 let it be ;
Life from the dead is in that word;
'Tis immortality.
2 Here, in the body pent,
Absent from thee I roam:
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home.
3 My Father's house on high,
Home of my soul ! how near,
At times, to faith's aspiring eye,
Thy golden gates appear !
4 "For ever with the Lord !"
Father, if 'tis thy will,
The promise of thy gracious word
Ev'n here to me fulfill.
5 So, when my latest breath
Shall rend the vail in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
6 Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word,
And oft repeat before the throne,
"For ever with the Lord !"
Resurrection.

Oh, for the death of those
Who slumber in the Lord !
Oh, be like theirs my last repose,
Like theirs my last reward !
S. F. SMITH.
2 Their bodies in the ground,
In silent hope may lie,
Till the last trumpet's joyful sound
Shall call them to the sky.
3 Their ransomed spirits soar
On wings of faith and love,
To meet the Saviour they adore,
And reign with him above.
4 With us their names shall live
Through long succeeding years,
Embalmed with all our hearts can give,
Our praises and our tears.
WIu " I will wait."
A few more years shall roll,
H. BONAR.
A few more seasons come;
And we shall be with those that rest.
Asleep within the tomb; —
2 A few more storms shall beat '
On this wild rocky shore;
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more: —
3 A few more struggles here,
A few more partings o'er,
A few more toils, a few more tears,
And we shall weep no more.
4 Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that glad day;
Oh, wash me in thy precious blood,
And take my sins away !

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 life,
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.
6 Father, perfect my trust !
Strengthen my power of faith !
Nor let me stand, at last, alone
Upon the shore of death.

Oh, for an overcoming faith,
To cheer my dying hours ;
To triumph o'er approaching death,
And all his frightful powers !
2 Joyful, with all the strength I have,
My quivering lip should sing, —
"Where is thy boasted victory, grave;
And where, 0 death, thy sting?"
3 Now to the God of victory
Immortal thanks be paid; —
Who makes us conquerors, while we die,
Through Christ, our living Head !
OttM. "I shall go to him."1 h. k. white.
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 dreary 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.
RAY PALMER.
vvU Resurrection sure.
When downward to the darksome tomb
I thoughtful turn my eyes,
Frail nature trembles at the gloom,
And anxious fears arise.
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,
5 Then let my faith each fear dispel,
And gild with light the grave;
To him my loftiest praises swell,
Who died, from death to save.

2 Are we not tending upward, too,
As fast as time can move ?
Nor would we wish the hours more slow,

3 Why should we tremble to convey
Their bodies to the tomb ?
There the dear flesh of Jesus lay,
And scattered all the gloom.
4 The graves of all the saints he blessed,
And softened every bed;
Where should the dying members rest,
But with the dying Head ?
5 Thence he arose, ascending high,
And showed our feet the way;
Up to the Lord we, too, shall fly
At the great rising-day.

And bid our kindred rise ;
Awake! ye nations under ground;

How vain is all beneath the skies !
How transient every earthly bliss !
How slender all the fondest ties
That bind us to a world like this !
2 The evening-cloud, the morning dew,
The withering grass, the fading flower,
Of earthly hopes are emblems true, —
The glory of a passing hour.
3 But, though earth's fairest blossoms die,
And all beneath the skies is vain,
There is a land whose confines lie
Beyond the reach of care and pain.
4 Then let the hope of joys to come
Dispel our cares and chase our fears :
If God be ours, we 're traveling home,
Though passing through a vale of tears.
Otftf Psalm 17. 1. watts.
What sinners value I resign;
Lord ! 'tis enough that thou art mine;
1 shall behold thy blissful face,
And stand complete in righteousness.
2 This life's a dream — an empty show;
But the bright world, to which I go,
Hath joys substantial and sincere;
When shall I wake, and find me there ?
3 Oh, glorious hour ! oh, blest abode !
I shall be near, and like my God;
And flesh and sin no more control
The sacred pleasures of the soul.
4 My flesh shall slumber in the ground,
Till the last trumpet's joyful sound;
Then burst the chains, with sweet surprise,
And in my Saviour's image rise !

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 1
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 sovereign grace.

To vast eternity!

With all they called their own?
Their joys and griefs, and hopes and cares,
And wealth and honor gone.

Holy and true and good,
Wilt thou not judge thy suffering Church,
Her sighs and tears and blood ?

Has lived and loved and died;
And as they left us, one by one,
We laid them side by side.

But not in hope forlorn;

As now we share thy grace. ,

And make this blighted world of ours

Who counted Christ their great reward,
And yearned for him to die.
3 They all, in life and death,
With him, their Lord, in view,
Learned from thy Holy Spirit's breath
To suffer and to do.

And wake, in glorious repose
To spend eternal years.

From dungeon chain, — to breathe the air

Enter thy Master's joy !
2 The voice at midnight came;
He started up to hear;
A mortal arrow pierced his frame;
He fell, but felt no fear.
3 His spirit with a bound
Left its encumbering clay:
His tent, at sunrise, on the ground
A darkened ruin lay.
4 The pains of death are past,
Labor and sorrow cease,
And, life's long warfare closed at last,
His soul is found in peace.

Rest in thy Saviour's joy.

To move in idleness through earth —
This, this is not to live.

Whatever must be done;
Thou hast no time to lose in sloth,
Thy day will soon be gone.

VVF A C. M. D. Psalm 90. I. WATTS.
Our God, our help in ages past7
Our hope for years to come ;
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home : —
Under the shadow of thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure ;
Sufficient is thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure.
2 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting thou art God,
To endless years the same.
A thousand ages, in thy sight,
Are like an evening gone ;
Short as the watch that ends the night,
Before the rising sun.
3 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away ;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home.

And rest unbroken sharing,

Can reach the peaceful sleeper here,
"While angels watch the soft repose.
3 So Jesus slept ; God's dying Son
Passed thro' the grave and blessed the

2 Hark ! they whisper ; angels say,
" Sister spirit, come away ; "
What is this absorbs me quite ? —
Steals my senses, shuts my sight,
Drowns my spirits, draws my breath ? —
Tell me, my soul, can this be death %

Thine unvailed glory to behold ;
Then only will this wandering heart
Cease to be false to thee and cold.
3 Let me be with thee where thou art,
Where none can die, where none remove j
There neither death nor life will part
Me from thy presence and thy love.
THE CHRISTIAN'S DEATH.
363
t/O U c. M, Job 3 : 17-20. R. BLAIR.
How still and peaceful is the grave !
Where, life's vain tumults past,
The appointed house, by heaven's decree,
Receives us all at last.
2 The wicked there from troubling cease ;
Their passions rage no more ;
And there the weary pilgrim rests
From all the toils he bore.
3 There servants, masters, small and
Partake the same repose ; [great,
And there, in peace, the ashes mix
Of those who once were foes.
4 All, leveled by the hand of death,
Lie sleeping in the tomb,
Till God in judgment calls them forth
To meet their final doom.
"•"c.M. To die is gain. w. H. bathurst.
Why should our tears in sorrow flow,
When God recalls his own ;
And bids them leave a world of woe
For an immortal crown ?
2 Is not ev'n death a gain to those
Whose life to God was given 1
Gladly to earth their eyes they close,
To open them in heaven.
3 Their toils are past, their work is done,
And they are fully blest :
They fought the fight, the victory won,
And entered into rest.
4 Then let our sorrows cease to flow, —
God has recalled his own ;
And let our hearts in every woe,
Still say,—" Thy will be done ! "
071
" ■ ■*■ p. M. The Cemetery. j. Montgomery.
This place is holy ground !
World, with its cares, away !
A holy, solemn stillness, round
This lifeless, mouldering clay ;
Nor pain, nor grief, nor anxious fear,
Can reach the peaceful sleeper here.
2 Behold the bed of death,
The pale and mortal clay !
Heard ye the sob of parting breath ?
Marked ye the eye's last ray ?
No ! life so sweetly ceased to be,
It lapsed in immortality.
3 Bury the dead, and weep
In stillness o'er the loss !
Bury the dead ! in Christ they sleep
Who bore on earth his cross ;
And from the grave their dust shall rise,
In his own image to the skies.
*» • W ios. Death at Prime. j. Montgomery.
Go to the grave in all thy glorious prime !
In full activity of zeal and power ;
A Christian cannot die before his time ;
The Lord's appointment is the servant's
hour.
2 Go to the grave ; at noon from labor
cease ; [done ;
Rest on thy sheaves, thy harvest-task is
Come from the heat of battle, and in
peace, [won.
Soldier ! go home ; with thee the fight is
3 Go to the grave, for there thy Saviour
lay
In death's embraces, ere he rose on high ;
And all the ransomed, by that narrow
way,
Pass to eternal life beyond the sky.
4 Go to the grave ? no, take thy seat
above !
Be thy pure spirit present with the Lord,
Where thou for faith and hope hast per-
fect love,
And open vision for the written Word.
l. m. Be Pitiful, O God. c. f. Alexander.
973
O Son of God, in glory crowned,
The Judge ordained of quick and dead!
O Son of man, so pitying found
For all the tears thy people shed !
2 Be with us in this darkened place, —
This weary, restless, dangerous night;
And teach, oh, teach us by thy grace,
To struggle onward into light !
3 And since, in God's recording book,
Our sins are written, every one, —
The crime, the wrath, the wandering look,
The good we knew, and left undone ; —
4 Lord, ere the last dread trump be
heard,
And ere before thy face we stand,
Look thou on each accusing word,
And blot it with thy bleeding hand.

Great God, what do I see and hear !
The end of things created 1
The Judge of man I see appear,
On clouds of glory seated:
The trumpet sounds; the graves restore
The dead which they contained before;
Prepare, my soul, to meet him.
z 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, filled with guilty tears,
Behold his wrath prevailing;
For they shall rise, and find their tears
And sighs are unavailing:
The day of grace is past and gone ;
Trembling they stand before the throne,
All unprepared to meet him.
4 Great God ! what do I see and hear !
The end of things created !
The Judge of man I see appear,
On clouds of glory seated:
Beneath his cross I view the day
When heaven and earth shall pass away,
And thus prepare to meet him
077
v ■ • Into thine hand." E. A. bo wring, tr.
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:
O 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,
I'll 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 '11 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.

All her mirth hath passed by,
All her merry -hearted sigh ;
God is reigning, God on high !
3 No more sorrow, no more night ;
Perfect joy and purest light !

Shall soon their sentence hear.

How loud the thunders roar !

And stars are seen no more.

But saints arise and sing :
They are the ransomed of the Lord,
And he their God and Bang.
vOV s. M. Now is the time. p. doddridge
And will the Judge descend,
And must the dead arise,
And not a single soul escape
His all-discerning eyes ?
2 How will my heart endure
The terrors of that day,
When earth and heaven before his face
Astonished shrink away ?
3 But, ere the trumpet shakes
The mansions of the dead,
Hark, from the gospel's cheering sound
What joyful tidings spread !
4 Ye sinners ! seek his grace
Whose wrath ye cannot bear;
Fly to the shelter of his cross,
And find salvation there.

The flaming heavens together roll,
And louder yet, and yet more dread,
Swells the high trump that wakes the

Be thou, 0 Christ, the sinner's stay,

God in glory shall display :
Lo ! he comes, — nor silence holding,
Fire and clouds prepare his way :
Tempests round him
Hasten on the dreadful day.
3 To the heavens his voice ascending,
To the earth beneath he cries —
"Souls immortal now descending,
Let the sleeping dust arise !
Rise to judgment ;
Let my throne adorn the skies.
4 " Gather first my saints around me,
Those who to my covenant stood ;
Those who humbly sought and found me,
Through the dying Saviour's blood :
Blest Redeemer !
Choicest sacrifice to God!"
5 Now the heavens on high adore him,
And his righteousness declare :
Sinners perish from before him,
But his saints his mercies share :
Just his judgment !

As once in lowly form he came, —
A silent Lamb before his foes,
A weary man, and full of woes.
3 The Lord shall come ! a dreadful form,
With wreath of flame, and robe of storm,
On cherub-wings, and wings of wind,
Anointed Judge of human kind !

" Rocks, hide us ! mountains, on us fall ! "
The saints, ascending from the tomb,
Shall sing for joy, "The Lord is come !"

And is there, Lord, a rest
For weary souls designed,
Where not a care shall stir the breast,
Or sorrow entrance find?
2 Is there a blissful home,
Where kindred minds shall meet,
And live, and love, nor ever roam
From that serene retreat?

Whose joyful feet shall stand,

UOi "Go over this Jordan." I. WA
There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
There everlasting spring abides,
And never-withering flowers;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heavenly land from ours.
2 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood
Stand dressed in living green ;
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,
And fear to launch away.
3 Oh, could we make our doubts remove,
These gloomy doubts that rise,
And see the Canaan that we love
With unbeclouded eyes: —
Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o'er,
Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood,
Should fright us from the shore.
ftfU "Holdfast" C.F.ALEXANDER,
The roseate hues of early dawn,
The brightness of the day,
The crimson of the sunset sky,
How fast they fade away !
Oh, for the pearly gates of heaven 1
Oh, for the golden floor !
Oh, for the Sun of Righteousness,
That setteth nevermore !
2 The highest hopes we cherish here.
How soon they tire and faint !
How many a spot defiles the robe
That wraps an earthly saint !
Oh, for a heart that never sins !
Oh, for a soul washed white !
Oh, for a voice to praise our King.
Nor weary day or night !
3 Here faith is ours, and heavenly hope,
And grace to lead us higher;
But there are perfectness and peace,
Beyond our best desire.
Oh, by thy love and anguish, Lord,
And by thy life laid down,
Grant that we fall not from thy grace,
Nor fail to reach our crown 1

These from great afflictions came:

Sealed with his almighty name,

Clad in raiment pure and white,
Victor-palms in every hand,
Through their dear Redeemer's might,
More than conquerors they stand.

On immortal fruits they feed;

Shall to living fountains lead :
Joy and gladness banish sighs —
Perfect love dispel all fears —
And for ever from their eyes
God shall wipe away the tears.

He comes in blood-stained garments;
Upon his brow a crown;
The gates of brass fly open,
The iron bands drop down;
From off the fettered captive »
The chains of Satan fall,
While angels shout triumphant,
That Christ is Lord of all.
2 Oh, Christ, his love is mighty !
Long-suffering is his grace;
And glorious is the splendor
That beameth from his face.
Our hearts up-leap in gladness
When we behold that love,
As we go singing onward
To dwell with him above.
If thou, my God and Teacher,
Vouchsafe to be my own,
Though poor, I shall be richer
Than monarch on his throne.
3 If, while on earth I wander,
My heart is right and blest,
Ah, what shall I be yonder,
In perfect peace and rest ?
Oh, blessed thought ! in dying
We go to meet the Lord,
Where there shall be no sighing,
A kingdom our reward.

Beneath the chastening rod,
But, in the hour of grief or pain,
Will lean upon its God; —

When tempests rage without;
That, when in danger, knows no fear,
In darkness, feels no doubt; —

We'll taste, ev'n here, the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home.

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 firm 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.
A" X f The City. s. baring-gould.
Daily, daily sing the praises
Of the City God hath made ;
In the beauteous fields of Eden
Its foundation-stones are laid.
2 In the midst of that dear City
Christ is reigning on his seat,
And the angels swing their censers
In a ring about his feet.
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 laden with the song
Of the seraphs, and the elders,
And the great redeemed throng.
5 Oh, I would my ears were open
Here to catch that happy strain !
Oh, I would my eyes some vision
Of that Eden could attain 1

Time, thou speedest on but slowly,
Hours, how tardy is your pace !
Ere with Him, the high and holy,
I hold converse face to face.
Here is naught but care and mourning;
Comes a joy, it will not stay;
Fairly shines the sun at dawning,
Night will soon o'ercloud the day.
z Onward then ! not long I wander
Ere my Saviour comes for me,
And with him abiding yonder,
All his glory I shall see.
Oh, the music and the singing
Of the host redeemed by love !
Oh, the hallelujahs ringing
Through the halls of light above !
A"A<7 The Constimmation.
Jesus, blessed Mediator !
Thou the airy path hast trod;
J. CONDER.
Thou the Judge, the Consummator !
Shepherd of the fold of God !
Can I trust a fellow-being ?
Can I trust an angel's care ?
0 thou merciful All-seeing !
Beam around my spirit there.
2 Blessed fold ! no foe can enter,
And no friend departeth thence;
Jesus is their sun, their centre,
And their shield — Omnipotence !
Blesse'd, for the Lamb shall feed them,
All their tears shall wipe away,
To the living fountains lead them,
Till fruition's perfect day.
3 Lo! it comes, that day of wonder!
Louder chorals shake the skies:
Hades' gates are burst asunder;
* See! the new-clothed myriads rise!
Thought! repress thy weak endeavor;
Here must reason prostrate fall;
Oh, the ineffable Forever!
And the eternal All in All!

The shades of eve are thickening,
And darker night is near ;
The Bridegroom is advancing;
Each hour he draws more nigh;
Up ! watch and pray, nor slumber;
At midnight comes the cry.
2 See that your lamps are burning,
Your vessels filled with oil;
Wait calmly your deliverance
From earthly pain and toil.
The watchers on the mountains
Proclaim the Bridegroom near,
Go, meet him, as he cometh,
With hallelujahs clear.
3 The saints, who here in patience
Their cross and sufferings bore,
With him shall reign for ever,
When sorrow is no more:
Around the throne of glory
The Lamb shall they behold,
Adoring cast before him
Their diadems of gold.

Jerusalem, the golden,
With milk and honey blest !
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice oppressed:
1 know not, oh, I know not,
What social joys are there,
What radiancy of glory,
What light beyond compare.
2 They stand, those halls of Zion,
All jubilant with song,
And bright with many an angel,
And all the martyr throng;
The Prince is ever in them,
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen.
3 There is the throne of David;
And there, from care released,
The song of them that triumph,
The shout of them that feast:
And they who, with their Leader,
Have conquered in the fight
For ever and for ever
Are clad in robes of white.
X\JU O "Short toil." j. m. neale, tr.
Brief life is here our portion;
Brief sorrow, short-lived care;
The life, that knows no ending,
The tearless life, is there:
Oh, happy retribution !
Short toil, eternal rest;
For mortals, and for sinners,
A mansion with the blest !
2 And there is David's fountain,
And life in fullest glow;
And there the light is golden,
And milk and honey flow;
The light, that hath no evening,
The health, that hath no sore,
The life, that hath no ending,
But lasteth evermore.
3 There Jesus shall embrace us,
There Jesus be embraced, —
That spirit's food and sunshine;
Whence earthly love is chased:
Yes ! God my King and Portion,
In fullness of his grace,
We then shall see for ever,
And worship face to face.

Why sleep for sorrow now ?
The hope of glory, Christ, is thine,
A child of glory thou.
Thy spirit, through the lonely night,
From earthly joy apart,
Hath sighed for one that's far away, —
The Bridegroom of thy heart.

The breaking morn is near;
And Jesus comes, with voice of love,
Thy drooping heart to cheer.
Then weep no more; 'tis all thine own,
His crown, his joy divine;
And, sweeter far than all beside,
He, he himself is thine !

Where angels bow their vailed heads,

Shall praise the ascended Lord, who deigns
To bear our flesh and blood !
Our lot shall be for aye to share

The river of. his love.

Come, let us haste to meet our Lord,
And hail him with delight;
Who saved us by his precious blood,
And sorrows infinite !
2 Beside him all the patriarchs old,
And holy prophets stand;
The glorious apostolic choir,
And noble martyr band.
]S"o loveliness we see;
Our eye is on the royal crown,
Prepared for us — and thee !
2 But, dearest Lord, however bright,
That crown of joy above,
What is it to the brighter hope
Of dwelling in thy love ?
What to the joy, the deeper joy,
Unmingled, pure, and free,
Of union with our living Head,
Of fellowship with thee ?

There is a land immortal,
The beautiful of lauds ;
Beside its ancient portal
A silent sentry stands ;
He only can undo it,
And open wide the door;
And mortals who pass through it,
Are mortal nevermore.
2 Though dark and drear the passage
That leadeth to the gate,
Yet grace attends the message,
To souls that watch and wait:
And at the time appointed
A messenger comes down,
And guides the Lord's anointed
Prom cross to glory's crown.
3 Their sighs are lost in singing,
They're blessed in their tears;
Their journey heavenward winging,
They leave on earth their fears:
Death like an angel seemeth;
"We welcome thee," they cry;
Their face with glory beameth —
'Tis life for them to die !

And, once within thy portals,

As heaven's benignant throne.
2 There all around shall love us,
And we return their love;
One band of happy spirits,
One family above:
There God shall be our portion,
And we his jewels be;
And gracing his bright mansions,
His smile reflect and see.
3 So songs shall rise for ever,
While all creation fair,
Still more and more reveale'd,
Shall wake fresh praises there :
O Paradise eternal !
What joys in thee are known !

XVFt»t» "A Rest." RAY PALMER.
Lord, thou wilt bring the joyful day !
Beyond earth's weariness and pains,
Thou hast a mansion far away,
Where for thine own a rest remains.
2 No sun there climbs the morning sky,
There never falls the shade of night;
God and the Lamb, for ever nigh,
O'er all shed everlasting light.
3 The bow of mercy spans the throne,
Emblem of love and goodness there ;
While notes to mortals all unknown,
Float on the calm celestial air.
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.
5 0 Jesus, bring us to that rest,
Where all the ransomed shall be found,
In thine eternal fullness blest,
While ages roll their cycles round !
"Many mansions."

Thy Father's house ! thine own bright home !
And thou hast there a place for me !
Though yet an exile here I roam,
That distant home by faith I see.
2 I see its domes resplendent glow,
Where beams of God's own glory fall;
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 !
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 !
5 Oh, welcome day ! when thou my feet
Shalt bring the shining threshold o'er;
A Father's warm embrace to meet,
And dwell at home for evermore !

Singing bird and smiling flower,
Scatter sunbeams on our way;
But the sweetest blossoms grow

Oft we find our weary feet
Lingering by some fountain clear;
Yet the purest waters flow
In the land to which we go.

The sands of time are sinking,
The dawn of heaven breaks,
The summer morn I 've sighed for,
The fair sweet morn awakes:
Dark, dark hath been the midnight,
But day-spring is at hand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
2 Oh, Christ, he is the fountain,
The deep sweet well of love;
The streams of earth I 've tasted,
More deep I '11 drink above.
There to an ocean fullness
His mercy doth expand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
3 The bride eyes not her garment,
But her dear bridegroom's face;
I will not gaze at glory,
But on my King of Grace —
Not at the crown he gifteth,
But on his pierce'd hand; —
The Lamb is all the glory
Of Immanuel's land.

Thy mighty working, mighty God !
Wakes all my powers ; I look abroad,
And can no longer rest ;
I, too, must sing when all things sing,
And from my heart the praises ring
The Highest loveth best.
2 If thou, in thy great love to us,
Wilt scatter joy and beauty thus
O'er this poor earth of ours ;
What nobler glories shall be given
Hereafter in thy shining heaven,
Set round with golden towers !
3 What thrilling joy when on our sight
Christ's garden beams in cloudless light
Where all the air is sweet ,
Still laden with the unwearied hymn
From all the thousand seraphim
Who God's high praise repeat !
4 Oh, were I there ! oh, that I now
Before thy throne, my God, could bow,
And bear my heavenly palm !
Then, like the angels, would I raise
My voice, and sing thine endless praise
In many a sweet-toned psalm.

The blissful realms where Jesus reigns !
2 There, low before his glorious throne,
Adoring saints and angels fall ;
And, with delightful worship, own
His smile their bliss, their heaven,
their all.
F. M. KNOLLIS.
LyflM S- M_ D- "No night there."
There is no night in heaven ;
In that blest world above
Work never can bring weariness,
For work itself is love.
There is no grief in heaven ;
For life is one glad day,
And tears are of those former things
Which all have passed away.
2 There is no want in heaven ;
The Lamb of God supplies
Life's tree of twelve-fold fruitage still,
Life's spring which never dries.
There is no sin in heaven ;
Behold that blessed throng !
All holy is their spotless robe,
All holy is their song.
3 There is no death in heaven ;
For they who gain that shore
Have won their immortality,
And they can die no more.
There is no death in heaven ;
But when the Christian dies,
The angels wait his parted soul,
And waft it to the skies !
A"^tA cm. The New Song. I. watts.
Earth has engrossed my love too long ;
;T is time I lift mine eyes
Upward, dear Father, to thy throne,
And to my native skies.
2 There the blest Man, my Saviour, sits;
The God, how bright he shines !
And scatters infinite delights
On all the happy minds.
3 Immortal glories crown his head,
While tuneful hallelujahs rise,
And love and joy, and triumph spread And move, and charm the starry plains
Through all the assemblies of the skies. With an immortal sound.
3 Seraphs with elevated strains
Circle the throne around :
4 He smiles, — and seraphs tune their
songs
To boundless rapture, while they gaze ;
Ten thousand thousand joyful tongues
Resound his everlasting praise.
5 There all the followers of the Lamb
Shall join at last the heavenly choir :
Oh, may the joy-inspiring theme
Awake our faith and warm desire !
4 Jesus, the Lord, their harps employs ;
Jesus, my love, they sing ;
Jesus, the life of both our joys,
Sounds sweet from every string.
5 Now let me dwell on earth no more,
But mount in haste above,
To bless the God that I adore,
And sing the Man I love.

lUlng ?Si 6s, d. " A Holy City." an
There is a holy city,
A happy world above,
Beyond the starry regions,
Built by the God of love ;
An everlasting temple—
And saints arrayed in white,
There serve their great Redeemer,
And dwell with him in light.
2 The meanest child of glory
Outshines the radiant sun ;
But who can speak the splendor
Of that eternal throne
Where Jesus sits exalted,
In god-like majesty ? .
The elders fall before him,
The angels bend the knee.
3 The hosts of saints around him
Proclaim his work of grace ;
The patriarchs and prophets,
And all the godly race,
Who speak of fiery trials
And tortures on their way —
They came from tribulation
To everlasting day.
4 And what shall be my journey,
How long my stay below,
Or what shall be my trials,
Are not for me to know ;
In every day of trouble,
I '11 raise my thoughts on high ;
I '11 think of the bright temple,
And crowns above the sky.

There is a blessed home
Beyond this land of woe,
Where trials never come,
Nor tears of sorrow flow ;
Where faith is lost in sight,
And patient hope is crowned,
And everlasting light
Its glory throws around.
2 There is a land of peace,
Good angels know it well ;
Glad songs that never cease
Within its portals swell ;
Around its glorious throne
Ten thousand saints adore
Christ, with the Father One,
And Spirit, ever more.
3 Look up, ye saints of God,
Nor fear to tread below
The path your Saviour trod
Of daily toil and woe ;
Wait but a little while
In uncomplaining love,
His own most gracious smile
Shall welcome you above.

Blessed Salem, long expected,
Vision bright of peace and dear !
Who, of living stones erected,
Moulded in the heavenly sphere,
And, by angel-guards' protected,
Dost in bridal-pomp appear.
2 From the heaven of heavens descend-
All prepared to meet thy Head, [ing,
In thy robes of light attending,
Thou art to his presence led ;
Golden glories, richly blending,
Round thy streets and walls are shed.
3 Bright with pearls thy gates are beam-
Wide unfolded they remain : [ing,
Thither come, through grace redeeming,
All who wear Christ's lowly chain :
And, his last award esteeming,
Gladly share his cup of pain.

Lo, the seal of death is breaking ;
Those who slept its sleep are waking,
Heaven opes its portals fair !
Hark ! the harps of God are ringing,
Hark ! the seraph's hymn is flinging
Music on immortal air.
2 There, no more at eve declining,
Suns without a cloud are shining
O'er the land of life and love ;
There the founts of life are flowing,
Flowers unknown to time are blowing,
In that radiant scene above.
3 There no sigh of memory swelleth ;
There no tear of misery welleth ;
Hearts will bleed or break no more ;
Past is all the cold world's scorning,
Gone the night and broke the morning
Over all the golden shore !

Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of Harvest Home 1
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin:
God our Maker doth provide
For our wants to be supplied:
Come to God's own temple, come,
Raise the song of Harvest Home !
2 We ourselves are God's own field,
Fruit unto his praise to yield:
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unto joy or sorrow grown:
First the blade, and then the ear,
Then the full corn shall appear:
Grant, O Harvest-Lord, that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be !
3 For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take his harvest home:
From his field shall in that day
All offences purge away:
Give his angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast:
But the fruitful ears to store
In his garner evermore.
4 Then, thou Church Triumphant, come,
Raise the song of Harvest Home!
All are safely gathered in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin :
H. ALFORD.
There, for ever purified,
In God's garner to abide:
Come, ten thousand angels, come,
Raise the glorious Harvest Home !
i""tl The close of the year. ray palmer.
Thou who roll'st the year around,
Crowned with mercies large and free,
Rich thy gifts to us abound,
Warm our praise shall rise to thee.
Kindly to our worship bow,
While our grateful thanks we tell,
That, sustained by thee, we now
Bid the parting year — farewell 1
2 All its numbered days are sped,
All its busy scenes are o'er,
All its joys for ever fled,
All its sorrows felt no more.
Mingled with the eternal past,
Its remembrance shall decay;
Yet to be revived at last
At the solemn judgment-day.
3 All our follies, Lord, forgive !
Cleanse us from each guilty stain;
Let thy grace within us live,
That we spend not years in vain.
Then, when life's last eve shall come,
Happy spirits, may we fly
To our everlasting home,
To our Father's house on high 1

Many souls their race have ruu,
Nevermore to meet us here:
Fixed in an eternal state,
They have done with all below;
We a little longer wait, —

Speedily the mark to find;

Darts, and leaves no trace behind,

Bear us down life's rapid stream ;

All below is but a dream.

Pardon of our sins renew ;
Teach us henceforth how to live,
With eternity in view:

And, when life's short tale is told,
May we dwell with thee above!

Supported by thy care,
Through burning climes they pass unhurt,
And breathe in tainted air.

High on the broken wave,
They know thou art not slow to hear,
Nor impotent to save.

Obedient to thy will;
The sea, that roars at thy command,
At thy command is still.
5 In midst of dangers, fears, and deaths,
Thy goodness we '11 adore ;
We'll praise thee for thy mercies past,
And humbly hope for more.

And death, when death shall be our lot,

The breath that first it gave;
Whate'er we do, where'er we be,
We're traveling to the grave.
3 Great God ! on what a slender thread
Hang everlasting things !
The eternal state of all the dead
Upon life's feeble strings !
4 Infinite joy, or endless woe,
Attends on every breath;
And yet, how unconcerned we go
Upon the brink of death !
5 Waken, O Lord, our drowsy sense
To walk this dangerous road !
And if our souls are hurried hence,
May they be found with God.

Awake, and praise the sovereign love,

Each moment brings it near:
Then welcome each declining day,
Welcome each closing year.
3 Not many years their rounds shall run,
Nor many mornings rise,
Ere all its glories stand revealed,
To our admiring eyes.
4 Ye wheefs of nature ! speed your course:
Ye mortal powers ! decay;
Fast as ye bring the night of death,
Ye bring eternal day.

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; aDd still its power
Shall onward through all ages bear
The memory of that holy hour.
3 What change I through pathless wilds
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 hills remove,
And spring adorns the earth no more.

Great God ! 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.

Supported by thy guardian hand;
And see, when we review our ways,
Ten thousand monuments of praise.
3 Thus far thine arm has led us on;
Thus far we make thy mercy known;
And while we tread this desert land,
Xew mercies shall new songs demand.

Shall raise one sacred pillar more;
Then bear in thy bright courts above,

A "Oil Giving of thanks, w. F. sherwin.
Grander than ocean's story,
Or songs of forest trees —
Purer than breath of morning,
Or evening's gentle breeze —
Clearer than mountain echoes
Ring out from peaks above —
Rolls on the glorious anthem
Of God's eternal love.
i r 9 9 I r^
2 Dearer than any lovings,
The truest friends bestow;
Stronger than all the yearnings,
A mother's heart can know;
Deeper than earth's foundations,
And far above all thought;
Broader than heaven's high arches —
The love that Christ has brought.
3 Richer than all earth's treasure,
The wealth my soul receives;
Brighter than royal jewels,
The crown that Jesus gives;
Wondrous the condescension,
And grace beyond degree !
I would be ever singing
The love of Christ to me.

As shadows cast by cloud and sun,
Flit o'er the summer grass,
So, in thy sight, Almighty One,
Earth's generations pass.
And as the years, an endless host,
Come swiftly pressing on,
The brightest names that earth can boast
Just glisten and are gone.
2 Yet doth the star of Bethlehem shed
A lustre pure and sweet;
And still it leads, as once it led,
To the Messiah's feet.
O Father, may that holy star
Grow every year more bright,
And send its glorious beams afar
To fill the world with light.
The Seasons.
1068
With songs and honors sounding loud
Address the Lord on high;
Over the heavens he spread his cloud,
And waters vail the sky.
27G
His steady counsels change the face
Of the declining year;
He bids the sun cut short his race,
And wintry days appear.
2 He sends his word and melts the snow,
The fields no longer mourn;
He calls the warmer gales to blow,
And bids the spring return.
The changing wind, the flying cloud,
Obey his mighty word;
With songs and honors sounding loud
Praise ye the sovereign Lord.
God's Mercies.
H. F. LYTE.
1069
The mercies of my God and King
My tongue shall still pursue:
Oh, happy they, who, while they sing
Those mercies, share them too !
As bright and lasting as the sun,
As lofty as the sky,
From age to age, thy word shall run,
And chance and change defy.
2 The covenant of the King of kings
Shall stand for ever sure;
Beneath the shadow of thy wings
Thy saints repose secure.
In earth below, in heaven above,
Who, who is Lord like thee?
Oh, spread the gospel of thy love,
Till all thy glories see !

Oh, for the faith to grasp heaven's bright

Amid the shadows of earth's " little

2 A little while for patient vigil-keeping,
To face the storm, to battle with the

A little while to sow the seed with weeping,
Then bind the sheaves and sing the har-

3 A little while to keep the oil from failing,
A little while faith's flickering lamp to

And then, the Bridegroom's coming foot-

To haste to meet him with the bridal

4 And he who is himself the gift and

The future glory and the present smile, —
With the bright promise of the glad "for

Will light the shadows of the "little

Why doth thy heart shrink back at duty's
call?
Art thou obeying this — "Abide in me,"
And doth the Master's word abide in thee?
2 Oh, blest assurance from our risen Lord !

Word!
How great the promise ! could there great-

3 "Ask what thou wilt," but, oh, remember
this, —
We ask and have not, for we ask amiss
When, weak in faith, we only half believe
That what we ask we really shall receive.
4 Increase our faith, and clear our vision,
Lord;
Help us to take thee at thy simple word,
No more with cold distrust to bring thee

lUoO Selections.
Blessed are the dead, who die in the | Lord from | henceforth; || Yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, | and their | works do | follow them.
Our days on earth are as a shadow, and there is | none a- | biding ; 1 1 We are but
of yesterday; there is but a | step " between | us and | death;
Man's days are as grass: as a flower of the field, | so he | flourisheth; || Heappear-
eth for a little time, then | van-ish-| eth a- | way.
Watch ! for ye know not what hour your | Lord doth | come; || Be ye also ready;
for in such an hour as ye think not, the | Son of | Man — | cometh.
It is the Lord; let him do what | seemeth"him | good; || The Lord gave, and the
Lord hath taken away, and | blessed * * be the | name ■ ■ of the | Lord.
Blessed are the dead, who die in the | Lord from | henceforth; |[ Yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, | and their | works do | follow them.

XvfOO Christ for the World, s. wolcott.
Christ for the world we sing;
The world to Christ we bring,
With loving zeal;
The poor, and them that mourn,
The faint and overborne,
Sin-sick and sorrow-worn,
Whom Christ doth heal.
2 Christ for the world we sing;
The world to Christ we bring,
With fervent prayer;
Gr
The wayward and the lost,
By restless passions tossed,
Redeemed, at countless cost,
From dark despair.
3 Christ for the world we sing;
The world to Christ we bring,
With one accord;
With us the work to share,
With us reproach to dare,
With us the cross to bear,
For Christ our Lord.
4 Christ for the world we sing;
The world to Christ we bring,
With joyful song;
The new-born souls, whose days,
Reclaimed from error's ways,
Inspired with hope and praise,
To Christ belong.

O Paradise eternal! 1031
O Paradise, O Paradise '. 993

O'er the gloomy hills of darkness 901
On Jordan's rugged banks I stand 989
On mountains and in valleys 177
On the mountain's top appearing 900
Once I thought my mountain strong 482
Once more, before we part 126
Once more, my soul, the rising day 25
One more day's work for Jesus 140
One prayer I have — all prayers in one 710
One sole baptismal sign 752
One sweetly solemn thought 949
One there is, above all others 840
Onward, Christian soldiers 518
Onward, Christian, though the region 788
Our blest Redeemer, ere he breathed 373

The people of the Lord 544
The perfect world, by Adam trod 764
The promises I sing 150
The roseate hues of early dawn 998
The sands of time are sinking 1037

The Saviour kindly calls 802
The Saviour! oh, what endless charms 270
The spacious firmament on high 183

They who seek the throne of grace 64
Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love 44
Thine for ever! God of love 854
Thine holy day 's returning 17
This is not my place of resting 1015
This is the day the Lord hath made 19
This place is holy ground 971
Thou art gone to the grave! but we will 934
Thou art gone up on high 319

Thy way, O Lord, is in the sea 206
Thy will be done! I will not fear 736
Thy will be done! in devious way 730

HYMN.
"Till he come : " oh, let the words 873
Time is winging us away 940
Time, thou speedest on hut slowly 1018
'Tis a point I long to know 499
'Tis by the faith of joys to come 661
"'Tis finished I "—so the Saviour cried 274
'Tis God the Father we adore 817
'Tis God the Spirit leads 365
'Tis midnight; and on Olive's brow 273
'Tis my happiness below 720
'Tis not a cause of small import 761
'Tis not that I did choose thee 178
To God the Father, God the Son 81
To God the only wise 121
To our Redeemer's glorious name 296
To thee, my God and Saviour 639
To thee, O God, we raise 219
To thy pastures fair and large 4
To thy temple we repair 3
To us a Child of hope is born 237
Together with these symbols, Lord 858
Traveling to the better land.... 573
Trembling before thine awful throne 477
Triumphant, Lord, thy goodness reigns 228
Triumphant Zion, lift thy head 921
'Twas by an order from the Lord 159
'Twas the day when God's Anointed 287
Unshaken as the sacred hill 571
Unvail thy bosom, faithful tomb 966
Upon the gospel's sacred page 163
Upward I lift mine eyes 701
Vain are the hopes the sons of men 3S8
Vain, delusive world, adieu 473
Vainly through night's weary hours 791
Vital spark of heavenly flame 967
Wait, my soul, upon the Lord 584
Wait, O my soul! thy Maker's will 182
Wake, O my soul, and hail the morn 255
Wake I the welcome day appeareth 778
Walk in the light! so Shalt thou know 655
Watchman! tell us of the night 932
We are on our journey home 1035
We are watching, we are waiting 787
We bid thee welcome in the name 763
We bless thee for thy peace, O God 697
We come, O God, before thy throne 1053
We give immortal praise 230
We give thee but thine own 780
We may not climb the heavenly steeps 271
We praise thee, O God; we acknowledge 1074
We shall see Him, in our nature 304
We stand in deep repentance 465
We would see Jesus — for the shadows 878
Weary, Lord, of struggling here 483
Weeping will not save me 430
Welcome, delightful morn 10
Welcome, sweet day of rest 30
What a Friend we have in Jesus 567
What cheering words are these 692
What equal honors shall we bring 338
What finite power, with ceaseless toil 190
What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone 264
What ia life! 'tia but a vapor 956
Hymn.
What shall I render to my God 186
What sinners value I resign 955
What various hindrances we meet 77
When adverse winds and waves arise 706
When all thy mercies, O my God 187
When along life's thorny road 717
WTien, as returns this solemn day 53
When downward to the darksome tomb 952
Wken gathering clouds around I view 708
When God, of old, came down from heaven 370
When human hopes all wither 886
When I can read my title clear 682
When I survey the wondrous cross 275
When I view my Saviour bleeding 283
When Jordan hushed his waters still 242
When languor and disease invade 711
When, like a stranger on our sphere 259
When, marshaled on the nightly plain 241
When musing sorrow weeps the past 714
When my last hour is close at hand 977
When on Sinai's top I see 855
When, overwhelmed with grief 699
When our heads are bowed with woe 716
When, rising from the bed of death 988
When sins and fears, prevailing, rise 527
When streaming from the eastern skies 9
When thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come 957
When waves of trouble round me swell 715
Where high the heavenly temple stands 75
Where the woodman's axe is ringing 899
Where two or three, with sweet accord 59
While darkness reigns o'er Olive's brow 832
While in sweet communion feeding 865
While my Redeemer's near 578
While shepherds watched their flocks 238
While thee I seek, protecting Power 185
While we lowly bow before thee 153
While, with ceaseless course, the sun ...1048
Who are these in bright array 999
Who is this that comes from Edom 310
Who shall the Lord's elect condemn 679
Why do we mourn departing friends 953
Why is thy faith, O child of God 1083
Why on the bending willows hung 922
Why should our tears in sorrow flow 970
WThy should the children of a King 359
Why should we start, and fear to die 941
Why will ye waste on trifling cares 423
With all my powers of heart and tongue 233
With broken heart and contrite sigh 456
With deepest reverence at thy throne 180
With heavenly power, O Lord, defend 768
With joy we hail the sacred day 24
With joy we lift our eyes 33
With songs and honors sounding loud 1068
With tearful eyes I look around 508
Witness, ye men and angels, now 819
Work, for the night is coming 783
Work while it is to-day 779
Would you win a soul to God 443
Ye angels! who stand round the throne 625
Ye messengers of Christ 775
Ye servants of God, your Master proclaim 97
Your harps, ye trembling saints 553
Zion! awake, thy strength renew 906
