PREFACE.
This Book of Hymns and Tunes has been prepared by a Pastor in charge
of a Church. He has undertaken the work with the single aim and hope of
encouraging singing by the Congregation, as a part of divine worship. He has
not sought to compile a Manual of Hymnology, nor to iurnish a collection of
pieces of Lyric Poetry. Everything has been bent to the one purpose of
actual use.
All the Selections are set to music in sight. But it is not to be understood
that each must be sung exactly and invariably to the tune under which it is
printed. In most cases a choice is presented; a new or fresher one being
matched with one older or more familiar. It may be that mere mechanical
reasons have forced the hymn into the place it ocoupies, when the more appro-
priate music will be found below, or across on the opposite page. A quiet care
in noting the metres will avoid all confusion.
Not all the Tunes are precisely and rigidly adapted to congregational sing-
ing. Most of them, however, can be easily learned. It is expected that the
people will be led by a competent precentor, or — better still — by a large and
trained Choir. And oftentimes skilled and cultivated musicians ^n\l desire a
slight license of artistic excellence for their own enjoyment and performance on
rare occasions; thus quickening their own zest, while instructing others, and
elevating the general iaste.

J PSALM 1. WATTS.
•■• The righteous and the ivicked.
Blest is the man who shuns the place,
Where sinners love to meet;
Who fears to tread their wicked ways,
And hates the scoffer's seat: —
2 But in the statutes of the Lord
Has placed his chief delight;
By day he reads or hears the word,
And meditates by night.
3 He, like a plant of generous kind
By living waters set.
Safe from the storms and blasting wind,
Enjoys a peaceful state.
4 Green as the leaf, and ever fair,
Shall his profession shine;
While fruits of holiness appear,
Like clusters on the vine.
5 Not so the impious and unjust:
What vain designs they form!
Their hopes are blown away like dust,
Or chaff before the storm. •
6 Sinners in judgment shall not stand
Among the sons of grace,
When Christ, the Judge, at his right hand.
Appoints his saints a place.
PSALM 1. SCOTCH,
The Believer's Advantage.
That man hath perfect blessedness
Who walketh not astray
In counsel of ungodly men,
Nor stands in sinners' way, —
Nor sitteth in the scorner's chair:
But placeth his delight
Upon God's law, and meditates
On his law day and night.
He shall be like a tree that grows
Near planted by a river,
Which in his season yields his fruit,
And his leaf fadeth never: —
And all he doth shall prosper well.--
The wicked are not so;
But like they are unto the chaff,
Which wind drives to and fro.
In judgment therefore shall not stand
Such as ungodly are:
Nor in the assembly of the just
Shall wicked men appear; —
Because the way of godly men
Unto the Lord is known:
Whereas the way of wicked men
Shall quite be overthrown.

PSALM 2. WATTS.
Christ exalted.
Why did the nations join to slay
The Lord's anointed Son?
Why did they cast his laws away,
And tread his gospel down?
The Lord, who sits above the skies,
Derides their rage below ;
He speaks with vengeance in his eyes,
And strikes their spirits through: —
"I call him my beloved Son,
And raise him from the dead;
I make my holy hill his throne,
And wide his kingdom spread."
Be Avise, ye rulers of the earth!
Obey the anointed Lord;
Adore the king of heavenly birth,
And tremble at his word.
With humble love address his throne.
For, if he frown, ye die ;
Those are secure, and those alone.
Who on his grace rely.
PSALM 3. WATTS.
Do7ibts a?ui Fears suppressed.
My God! how many are my fears!
How fast my foes increase!
Conspiring my eternal death,
They break my present peace.
But thou, my glory and my strength,
Shalt on the tempter tread;
Shalt silence all my threatenmg guilt.
And raise my drooping head.
^3 I cried, and from his holy hill
He bowed a listening ear;
I called my Father and my God,
And he subdued my fear.
4 He shed soft slumbers on mine eyes,
In spite of all my foes;
I woke, and wondered at the grace
That guarded my repose.
5 What though the hosts of death and hell
All armed against me stood?
Terrors no more shall shake my soul;
My refuge is my God.
5 PSALM 4. WATTS.
Everting Devotion.
Lord! thou wilt hear me when I pray;
I am for ever thine;
I fear before thee all the day,
Nor would I dare to sin.
2 And, while I rest my weary head,
From cares and business free,
'Tis sweet conversing on my bed
With mv own heart and thee.
12
3 I pay this evening-sacrifice;
And, when my work is done.
Great God! my' faith, my hope relies
Upon thy grace alone.
4 Thus, with my thoughts composed to peace,
-I'll give mine eyes to sleep;
Thy hand in safety keeps my days,
And will my slumbers keep.

And change my tears to joy.
My prayer is heard — the Lord is nigh!
He bids my foes depart;
While shame o'erwhelms them suddenly,
His mercy cheers my heart.

Rise, and my helpless life defend
From those who seek my blood.
If I indulge in thoughts unjust.
And wish and seek their Avoe;
Then let them tread my life to dust,
And lay mine honor low.
If there were malice hid in me, —
I know thy piercing eyes, —
I should not dare appeal to thee.
Nor ask my God to rise.
Arise, my God! lift up thy hand.
Their pride and power control;
Awake to judgment, and command
DeUverance for my soul.

God's Condescension.
How excellent in all the earth,
I^ord, our Lord, is thv name!
Who hast thy glory far advanced
Above the starry frame.
When I look up unto the heavens,
Which thine own fingers framed,
Unto the moon, and to the stars,
Which were by thee ordained ; —
Then say I, What is man, that he
Remembered is by thee ?
Or what the Son of man, that thou
So kind to him shouldst be?
For thou a little lower hast
Him than the angels made;
With glory and with dignity
Thou crowned hast his head.
how wondrous great

Who dwells so far below,
That thou shouldst visit hun with grace
And love his natui-e so? —

To take a mortal form,
Made lower than his angels are.
To save a dying worm?
5 Yet, while he lived on earth unknown,
And men would not adore,
Behold obedient nature own

Who bowed his head in death;
And be his honors sounded high,

When great calamities appear,

Shall they advance their heads in pride,

And perished from thy land.

And cause thine ear to hear;
Accept the vows thy children pay,
And free thy saints from fear.

Why bid me like a bird
Before the fowler flee?
The Lord is on his heavenly throne,
And he will shield and save his own.

All nature's springs be dry;
Yet God is in his holy shrine.
And I am strong while he is mine.
3 His flock to him is dear,
He watches them from high;
He sends them trials here
To form them for the sky;
But safely will he tend and keep
The humblest, feeblest, of his sheep.

May triumph and prevail;
But ah! the hour is near
When all their hopes must fail;
While, hke the sun, his saints shall rise,
And shine with him above the skies,

All Men, Sintters.
Fools, in their hearts, believe and say,
That all religion's vain;
There is no God Avho reigns on high.
Or minds the affairs of men.
The Lord, from his celestial throne,
Looked down on things below,
To find the man who sought his grace.
Or did his justice know.
By nature, all are gone astray,
Their practice all the same ;
There 's none that fears his Maker's hand,
There's none that loves his name.
Their tongues are used to speak deceit:
Their slanders never cease:
How swift to mischief are their feet!
Nor know the paths of peace.
Such seeds of sin — that bitter root-
In every heart are found;
Nor can they bear diviner' fruit,
Till grace refine the ground.

And worketh righteousness;
And as he thinketh in his heart,
So doth he truth express.
Who doth not slander with his tongue,
Nor to his friend doth hurt ;
Nor yet against his neighbor doth
Take up an ill report.
In whose eyes vile men are despised ;
But those that God do fear
He honoreth; and changeth not,
Though to his hurt he swear.
Ilis coin puts not to usury,
Nor take reward will he
Aorainst the guiltless. Who doth thus
Shall never moved be.

Who shall ascend thy heavenly place,
Great God, and dwell before thy face ?
The man that minds religion now,
And humbly walks with God l)elow:
2 Whose hands are pure, whose heart is clean,
Whose lips still speak the thing they mean ;
No slanders dwell upon his tongue;
He hates to do his neighbor wrong.
S Fu-m to his word he ever stood.
And always makes his promise good;
Nor dares to change the thing he swears,
Whatever pain or loss he bears.
4 He never deals in bribing gold,
And mourns that justice should be sold:
While others scorn and wrong the poor,
Sweet charity attends his door.
5 He loves his enemies, and prays
For those that curse him to his face;
And doth to all men still the same
That he would hope or wish from them.
6 Yet, when his holiest works are done,
His soul depends on grace alone:
This is the man thy face shall see,
And dwell forever, Lord, with thee.
2 Though in the dust I lay my head.
Yet, gracious God, thou wilt not leave
My soul forever with the dead,
Nor lose thy children in the grave.
3 My flesh shall thy first call obey,
Shake off the dust and rise on high;
Then shalt thou lead the wondrous way,
Up to thy throne above the sky.

And full discoveries of thy grace:

Bless the dark world with heavenly light ;

In souls renewed, and sins forgiven:

Trust VI God,
WKANGHAM.
The Lord unto thy prayer attend,
In trouble's darksome hour:
The name of Jacob's God defend,
And shield thee by his power.
In thy salvation we'll rejoice,
And triumph in the Lord;
For, wlien in prayer he hears thy voice,
He will relief afford.
Our land, 0 Lord ! with songs of praise
Shall in thy strength rejoice,
And, blest Avith thy salvation, raise
To heaven a cheerful voice.
2 Thy sure defence through nations round
Hath spread our country's name,
And all her humble efforts crowned
With freedom and with fame.
3 In deep distress our injured land
Implored thy poAver to save;
For life we prayed; thy bounteous han(i
• The timely blessing gave.
4 On thee, in want, or woe, or pain.
Our hearts alone rely;
Our rights thy mercy Avill maintain.
And all our wants supi)ly.
5 Thus, Lord, thy wondrous jwwcr declare
And still exalt thy fame;
While we glad soni2:s of praise prepare
For thine almighty name.

"Xow. in the hour of cbep distress,
My God I support thy Son,
When horrors dark my soul oppress,
Oh, leave me not alone!"
2 Thus did our suffering Saviour pray,
With mig-htv cries and tears;
God heard him, in that dreadful day,
And chased away his fears.
3 Great was the victory of his death,
ITis throne's exalted high;
And all the kindreds of tlie earth
Shall worship, — or shall die.
4 A numerous offspring must arise
From his expiring groans;
They shall be reckoned in his eyes
For daughters and for sons.
5 The meek and humble souls shall sec
His table richly spread;
And all that seek the Lord shall bo
With joys immortal fed.
G Tiie isles shall know the righteousncs.3
Of our incarnate God,
And nations yet unborn profess
Salvation in his blood.

My Shepherd Avill supply my need,
Jehovah is his name ;
In pastures fresh he makes me feed,
Beside the living stream.
He brings my Avandering spirit back.
When I forsake his ways;
And leads me, for his mercy's sake,
In paths of truth and grace.
When I walk through the shades of death,
Tliy presence is my stay;
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 liead.
The sure provisions of my God
Attend me all my days;
Oh, may thy house be mine abode,
And all my works be praise:
Tliere Avould I find a settled rest,
AVhlle others go and come, —
No more a stranger,
But like a child at home.

Though storms rage around us, our God is

4T PSALM 23. SCOTCH.
A r//^ Good Shepherd.
The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want:
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; he leadeth me
The quiet waters by.
2 My soul he doth restore again ;
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
Ev'n for his own name's sake,
3 Yea, though I Avalk in death's dark vale,
Yet will I fear no ill;
For thou art with me, and thy rod
And staff me comfort still.
4 My table thou hast furnished
In presence of my foes;
My head thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.
5 Goodness and mercy, all my life.
Shall surely follow me;
And in God's house for evermore
My dwelling-place shall be.
PSALM 23. TATE-BRADV.
The Lord, our Shepherd.
42
The Lord himself, the mighty Lord,
Vouchsafes to be my guide;
The shepherd, by whose constant care
My wants are all supplied.
In tender grass he makes me feed,
And gently there repose;
Then leads me to cool shades, and where
Refreshinir water flows.
I pass the gloomy vale of death,
From fear and danger free;
For there his aiding rod and staff
Defend and comfort me.
Since God doth thus his wondrous love
Through all my life extend,
That life to him I will devote,
And in his temple spend.
PSALM 24.
The A bode of Saints.
43
The earth for ever is the Lord's,
With Adam's numerous race;
He raised its arches o'er the floods,
And built it on the seas.
2 But who, among the sons of men.
May visit thine abode?
He that has hands from mischief clean,
Whose heart is right with God.
This is the man may rise, and take
The blessings of his grace;
This is the lot of those, that seek
The God of Jacob's face.
Now let our souls' immortal powers
To meet the Lord prepare,
Lift up their everlasting doors;
The King of glory's near.
The King of glory! avIio can tell
The wonders of his might?
He rules the nations; but to dwell
With saints is his delight.

Leap at the terror of the sound.
To Lebanon he turns his voice,
And lo! the stately cedars break;
The mountains tremble at the noise,
The valleys roar, the deserts quake.
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.
In gentler language there the Lord
The counsels of his grace imparts;
Amid the raging storm, his word
Speaks peace and courage to our heart.s.

And o'er my head are gone;

And make my God my all.

/y The Church Safe.
God is our refuge and our strength,
In straits a present aid:
Therefore, although the earth remove
We will not be afraid: —
2 Though hills amidst the seas be cast ;
Though waters roaring make.
And troubled be; yea, though the hills
By swelling seas do shake.
3 A river is, whose streams do glad
The city of our God;
The holy place, wherein the Lord
Most high hath his abode.
4 God in the midst of her doth dwell;
Nothmg shall her remove:
The Lord to her an helper will,
And that right early, prove.
PSALM 47. WATTS.
TJie Ascensiofi atui Reign of Christ.
Oh, for a shout of sacred joy
To God, the sovereign King;
Let every land their tongues employ,
And hymns of triumph sing.
Jesus, our God, ascends on high;
His heavenly guards around
Attend him rising through the sky.
With trumpets' joyful sound.
While angels shout and praise their King,
Let mortals learn their strains;
Let all the earth his honor sing; —
O'er all the earth he reisrns.

4 Rehearse his praise with awe profound;
I Let knowledge lead the song;
I Xor mock him with a solemn sound
I Upon a thoughtless tongue.

', But now he calls the world his own;
1 The heathen taste his orrace.

The joy of all the land;
The city of the mighty King
On her north side doth stand.
3 The Lord within her palaces
Is for a refuge known.
For, lo, the kings that gathered were
Together, by have gone.
4 Encompass Zion, and go around,
Her lofty towers tell;

I For this God doth abide
Our God for evermore; he will

Their songs of honor raise.
2 With joy thy people stand
On Zion's chosen hill,
Proclaim the Avonders of thy hand,
And counsels of thy will.
3 Let strangers walk around
The city where we dwell.
Compass and view thine holy ground.
And mark the building well —
4 The order of thy house.

The cheerful songs, the solemn vows;
And make a fair report.
5 How decent, and how wise!
How glorious to behold!
Beyond the pomp that charms the eyes,
And rites adorned with gold.

Will guide us till we die;

84
Why doth the rich man grow
To insolence and ])ride,
To see his wealth and honors flow
With every rising tide?
2 Why treat the poor with scorn,
Made of the self-same clay,
And boast as though his flesh were born
Of better dust than they ?
3 Xo treasures can procure
His soul a short reprieve,
Redeem from death one guilty hour,
Or make his brother live.

Saints at the Jiidgtneiit.
The Lord, the Judge, before his throne
Bids the whole earth draw nigh,
The nations near the rising sun,
And near the western sky.
2 Throned on a cloud our God shall come.
Bright flames prepare his way,
Thunder and darkness, fire and storm
Lead on the dreadful day.
3 Heaven from above his call shall hear,
Attending angels come.
And earth and hell shall know and fear
His justice and their doom.
4 "But gather all my saints," he cries,
"That made their peace with God,
By the Redeemer's sacrifice.
And sealed it with his blood.
5 Their faith and works,brought forth to light,
Shall make the world confess,
My sentence of reward is right,
And heaven adore my grace."
3 All my iniquities blot out,
My sin hide from thy view.
Create a clean heart, Lord, in me
A spirit right renew.
4 And from thy gracious presence, Lord,
Oh, cast me not away;
i Thy Holy Spirit utterly
j Take not from me, I pray.
5 The joy which thy salvation brings
j Again to me restore;
I With thy free Spirit, oh, do thou

Oh, wash me thoroughly from sin;
From all my guilt me cleanse:
For my transgressions I confess;
I ever see my sins.
42
hear my call.
My load of guilt remove;
Break down this separating wall,
That bars me from thy love.
2 Give me the presence of thy grace;
Then my rejoicing tongue
Shall speak aloud thy righteousness,
And make thy praise my song.
3 ^0 blood of goats, nor heifer slain,
For sin could e'er atone:
The death of Christ shall still remain
Sufficient and alone.
4 A soul, oppressed with sin's desert,
My God will ne'er despise;
An humble groan, a broken heart,
Is our best sacrifice.

And, strong in his protection,
Again through faith I stand.

Round thy altars, 0 Most High!

No repose on earth around,
They can to their ark repair, •
And enjoy it ever there.
3 Happy souls! their praises flow.
Even in this vale of woe ;
Waters in the desert rise.
Manna feeds them from the skies;
On they go from strength to strength,
Till they reach thy throne at length;
At thy feet adoring fall,
Who hast led them safe through all.
4 Lord, bo mine this prize to win,
Guide me through this world of sin;
Keep me by thy saving grace,
Give me at thy side a place;

'Tis thine to heal the bleeding wound,
And grant the plaintive soul to live.

Attend my voice, my suppliant cry!
I call thee in affliction's day,
For thou wilt listen, thou reply.

God, in his earthly temple, lays
Foundation 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.

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.
Egypt and T}Te, and Greek and Jew,
Shall there begin their lives anew;
Angels and men shall join to sing
The hill where living waters spring.

Of natives in his holy mount,
'T will be an honor to appear.
As one new-born, or nourished there.

Thy promise, and thy power to save ?
2 Cease, cease, ye vain, desponding fears!
When Christ, our Lord, from darkness
sprang,
Death, the last foe, was captive led,
And heaven with praise and wonder rang.
3 Faith sees the bright eternal doors
L'nfold to make her children way;
They shall be clothed with endless life,
And shine in everlasting day.
4 The trump shall sound, the dead shall wake,
From the cold tomb the slumb'rers spring;
Thro' heaveii, with joy, their myriads rise
And hail their Saviour and their King!

154 God's Eternity.
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 But man, weak man, is born to die.
Made up of *guilt and vanity;
Thy dreadful sentence, Lord! was just,
"Return, ye sinners! to your dust."
4 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.
5 Teach us, 0 Lord! how frail is man;
And kindly lengthen out our span,
Till a wise care of piety
Fit us to die, and dwell with thee.
PSALM 91.
DivifU ProtectioK amid Danglers.
155
\ 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."
66
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 wmgs 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.
PSALM 92.
The church is t/ie garden of God,
156
Lord, 'tis a pleasant thing to stand
In gardens planted by thy hand;
Let me within thy courts be seen,
Like a young cedar fresh and green.
2 There grow thy saints in faith and love,
Blest with thine influence from above;
Not Lebanon, with all its trees,
Yields such a comely sight as these.
3 The plants of grace shall ever live;
Nature decays, but grace must thrive:
Time, that doth all things else impair.
Still makes them flourish strong and fair
4 Laden with fruits of age, they show,
1 The Lord is holy, just and true:
I None t'hat attend his gates, shall find
1 A God unfaithful or unkind.

3 Shall he, who framed the human mind,
And bade its kindling spark to glow,
Who all its varied powere combined,

Vain hope! his eye at once surveys
Whatever fills creation's space;
He sees our thoughts, and marks our ways,
He knows no bounds of time and place.
Surrounded by his saints, the Lord
Shall armed with holy vengeance come;
To each his final lot award,
And seal the sinner's fearful doom.

^^ i God's Supremacy.
All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell,
Come ye before him and rejoice.
2 Know that the Lord is God indeed;
Without our aid he did us make:
We arc his flock, he doth us feed,
And for his sheep he doth us take.
70
3 Oh, enter then his gates with praise.
Approach with joy his courts unto:
Praise, laud, and bless his name always,
For it is seemly so to do.
4 For why ? the Lord our God is good,
His mercy is for ever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.
PSALM 101.

WATTS.
1 68
Mercy and judgment are my song;
And, since they both to thee belong,
My gracious God! my righteous King!
To thee my songs and vows I bring.
2 I will not set mine eyes to wrong,
Reproach shall not to me belong;
The faithful in my sight shall be;
The true shall dwell in peace with me.
3 Let wisdom all my actions guide,
And let my God with me reside:
No wicked thing shall dwell with me,
Which may provoke thy jealousy.
4 Deceivers will I turn away,
Nor in my house shall liars stay;
The wicked will I thus reward.
And clear the city of the Lord.
5 0 Lord! to thee my praise I bring,
Of mercy and of judgment sing;
In wisdom will I walk at home.
When wilt thou to my dwelling come?

Let Zion 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 remam
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 soul condemned to death,
Nor, when his saints complain,
Shall it be said that praying breath
Was ever spent m vain.

Upon thy Zion yet;
The time to favor her is come,
The time that thou hast set.
2 For in her rubbish and her stones
Thy servants pleasure take;
Yea, they the very dust thereof
Do favor for her sake.
3 So shall the heathen people fear

Built up again shall be.

Whose favors are divine.
2 Oh, bless the Lord, my soul!
Nor let his mercies lie
Forgotten in unthankfulness,
And without praises die.
3 'Tis he forgives thy sins;
'Tis he relieves thy pain;
'Tis he that heals thy sicknesses,
And makes thee young again.
4 He crowns thy life with love,
When ransomed from the grave ;
He, who redeemed my soul fi'om 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.
2 God will not always chide;
And when his strokes are felt,
His strokes are fewer than our crimes,
And Hghter than our guilt.
3 High as the heavens are raised
Above the ground we tread,
So far the riches of his grace
Our highest thoughts exceed.
4 His power subdues our sins,
And his forgiving love,
Far as the east is from the west,
Doth all our guilt remove.

To those that fear his name,
Is such as tender parents feel;
He knows our feeble frame.
2 He knows we are but dust,
Scattered with every breath:
His anger, Uke a rising wind,
Can send us swift to death.
3 Our days are as the grass.
Or like the morning flower:
If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field
It withers in an hour.
4 But thy compassions, Lord,
To endless years endure;
And children's children ever find
Thy words of promise sure.

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

And Avhile his rod corrects his saints,

All nature rests upon thy word;
And the whole race of creatures stand
Waiting their portion from thy hand.
2 But when thy face is hid they mourn.
And, dying, to their dust return;
Both man and beast their souls resign;
Life, breath, and spirit, all are thine.
3 Yet thou canst breathe on dust again,
And fill the Avorld with beasts and men;
A word of thy creating breath
Repairs the wastes of time and death.
4 The earth stands trembling at thy stroke,
And at thy touch the mountains smoke;.
Yet humble souls may see thy face.
And tell their wants to sovereign grace.
5 In thee my hopes and wishes meet,
And make my meditations sweet; ^
Thy praises shall my breath employ.
Till it expire in endless joy.

* / O "die thanks to God."
Give thanks to God, invoke his name,
In lofty psalms exalt his praise;
His deeds through the whole world proclami,
And talk of all his works and ways.
2 Ye who have made the Lord your choice,
Recall to mind his works of love;
Recount his wonders, and rejoice
In him who Uves and reigns above.
3 Jehovah is our God alone,
His words to endless years endure:
His judgments through the earth are known,
His covenant shall stand secure.
4 For Zion's Lord is true and just,
And he will crown with sure success
The patient souls, who in him trust
And rest upon his faithfulness.
5 Exalt the glory of his name;
His saving strength betimes implore;
Let heart and lip declare his fame —
And seek his presence evermore.
3 Extend to me that favor. Lord!
Thou to thy chosen dost afTord;
When thou returnest to set them free,
Let thy salvation visit me.
Oh, render thanks to God above,
The fountaui of eternal love;
Whose mercy firm, through ages past,
Has stood, and shall for ever last.

Oh. render thanks to God above.

Whose mercy firm, through ages past,
Has stood, and shall for ever last.
2 AVho can his mighty deeds express,
Not only vast, but numberless?
What mortal eloquence can raise
His tribute of immortal praise?
74
PSALM 107. WATTS.
Israel led to Canaan, and Christians to Heaven,
Give thanks to God — he reigns above;
Kind are his thoughts, Ms name is love;
His mercy ages past have known,
And ages long to come shall own.
Let the redeemed of the Lord
The wonders of his grace record;
Israel, the nation whom he chose,
And rescued from their mighty foes.
So when our first release we gain
From sin's own yoke, and Satan's chain,
We have this desert world to pass, —
A dangerous and a tiresome place.
He feeds and clothes us all the way,
He guides our footsteps, lest we stray;
He guards us with a powerful hand.
And brings us to the heavenly land.
Oh, let us, then, with joy record
The truth and goodness of the Lord;
How great his works — how kind his wajsl
Let every tongue pronounce his praise.

Prayer for Divine Guidance.
Thank and praise Jehovah's name;
For his mercies firm and sure,
From eternity the same,
To eternity endure.
Let the ransomed thus rejoice,
Gathered out of every land,
As the people of his choice,
Plucked from the destroyer's hand.
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.
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.

PSALM 107. MONTGOMERY.
The Dangers of the Ocean.
They who toil upon the deep,
And, in vessels light and frail.
O'er the mighty waters sweep,
With the billow and the gale,
Mark what wonders God performs, —
When he speaks, and, uucoufined.
Rush to battle all his storms,
\\\ the chariots of the wind.
Up to heaven their bark is whirled.
On the mountain of the wUve;
Down as suddenly 'tis hurled
To the abysses of the grave;
To and fro they reel — they roll,
As intoxicate with wine;
Terrors paralyze their soul,
Helm they quit, and hope resign.
Then unto the Lord they cry;
He inclines a gracious ear.
Sends deliverance from on high,
Rescues them fi-om all their fear:
Oh, that men would praise the Lord,
For his goodness to their race ;
For the wonders of his word,
And the riches of his grace.

That dread name which we adore:
Round the world his praise be sung.

3 O'er all nations God alone.
Higher than the heavens his throne;
Who is like to God most high,
Infinite in majesty ?
4 Yet to view the heavens he bends;
Yea, to earth he condescends;
Passing by the rich and great,
For the low and desolate.
5 He can raise the poor to stand
With the princes of the land ;
Wealth upon the needy shower;
Set the meanest high in power.
6 He the broken spirit cheers;
Turns to joy the mourner's tears;
Such the wonders of his ways ;
Praise his name — for ever praise.

Left the proud tyrant and his land.
The tribes, with cheerful homage, own

The deep divides to make them way:
Jordan beheld their march, and fled.
With backward current, to his head.

Make Jordan backward roll his tide ?
Why did ye leap, ye little hills?
And whence the fi'ight that Sinai feels ?
4 Let every mountain, every flood
Retire and know the approaching God,
The King of Israel: see him here;
Tremble, thou earth ; adore and fear.

And fires and seas confess the Lord.

Unto thy quiet rest;
For largely, lo, the Lord to thee
His bounty hath expressed.
3 For my distressed soul from death
Delivered was by thee;
Thou didst my mourning eyes from tears,
My feet from falling, free.

To build our heavenly hopes upon,

And saints adore his name:
They trust their whole salvation here,
Nor shall they suffer shame.

Yet on this rock the church shall rest.
And envy rage in vain.

Yet must the building rise:
'Tis thine own work, almighty God!
And wondrous in our eves.

J-y" The Lord's Day.
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 emph-e fell;
To-day the saints his triumph spread,
And all his wonders tell.
3 Hosanna to the anointed King,
To David's holy 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.

y I "^he Blessi7ig 0/ Obedience.
Blessed are they that undefiled
And straight are in the way;
Who in the Lord's most holy law
Do walk, and do not stray.
2 Blessed are they who to observe
His statutes are inclined;
And who do seek the hving God
With their whole heart and mind.
80
3 Such in his ways do walk, and they
Do no iniquity.
Thou hast commanded us to keep
Thy precepts carefully.
4 Oh, that thy statutes to observe
Thou wouldst my ways direct!
Then shall I not be shamed when I
Thy precepts all respect.
5 Tlien, with integrity of heart,
Thee will I praise and bless.
When I the judgments all have learned
Of thy pure righteousness.
PSALM 119.
Siricerity attd Obedience.
Thou art my portion, 0 my God!
Soon as I know thy way.
My heart makes haste to obey thy word,
And suffers no delay.
2 I choose the path of heavenly truth,
And glory in my choice;
Not all the riches of the earth
Could make me so rejoice.
3 The testimonies of thy grace
I set before mine eyes;
Thence I derive my daily strength.
And there my comfort lies.
4 Xow I am thine, — for ever thine; — ■
Oh, save thy servant, Lord!
Thou art my shield, my hiding-place,
My hope is in thy word.

^^£. Prayer for the Rei^ n 0/ Ch rist.
Arise, O King of grace! arise,
And enter to thy rest;
Lo! thy church waits, with longing eyes.
Thus to be owned and blest.
2 Enter, with all thy glorious train, —
Thy Spirit and thy word;
All that the ark did once contain
Could no such grace afford.
3 Here, mighty God! accept our vows;
Here let thy praise be spread:
Bless the provisions of thy house,
And fill thy poor with bread.
4 Here let the Son of David reign.
Let God's Anointed shine;
Justice and truth ] is .ourt maintain.
With love and power divine.
5 Here let hhn hold a lasting throne;
And, as his kingdom grows,
Fresh honors shall adorn his crown.
And shame confound his foes.
200 PSALM 133. SCOTCH.
^^O Christian Fellowship.
Behold, how good a thing it is.
And how becoming well.
Together such as bi'ethren are
In unity to dwell !
2 Like precious ointment on the head,
That down the beard did flow,
Ev'n Aaron's beard, and to the skirts
Did of his garments go
3 As Hermon's dew, the dew that doth
On Zion hills descend;
For there the blesshig God commands,
Life that shall never end.
2 2^ PSALM 133 LYTE
^^4 Excellence 0/ Christian Unanimity.
Spirit of peace! celestial Dove!
How excellent thy praise!
No richer gift than Christian love
Thy gracious power displays.
2 Sweet as the dew on herb and flower,
i That silently distils,
At evening's soft and balmy hour.
On Zion's fruitful hills: —
3 So, with mild influence from above.
Shall promised grace descend,
Till universal peace and love
O'er all the earth extend.
/^^^ PSALM 134. WATTS.
^^O Constant Devotion.
Bless ye the Lord Avith solemn rite, —

Ye who, within his house, by night.
Watch roiind the altar's flame.
2 Lift up )'our hands amid the i)lacc.
Where burns the sacred sign,
And pray, that thus Jehovah's face
O'er all the earth may shine
3 From Zion, from his holy hill,
The Lord, our Maker, send
The perfect knowledge of his will, — ■

Repents the sorrows that he sends.

We wept, with doleful thoughts oppressed,
And Zion was our mournful theme.
2 Our harps, that when with joy we sung,
Were wont their tuneful parts to bear,
With silent strings, neglected hung,
On willow-trees that withered there.
3 How shall we tune our voice to sing.
Or touch our harps Avith skillful hands?.
Shall hymns of joy, to God our King,
Be sung by slaves in foreign lands?

Let then my trembling hand forget
The tuneful strings with art to move.

I'll praise my Maker in my song:
Angels shall hear the notes I raise.
Approve the song, and join the praise.
2 I'll sing thy truth and mercy, Lord;
I'll sing the wonders of thy word;
Not all the works and names below,
So much thy power and glory show.
3 To God I cried when troubles rose;
He heard me and subdued my foes;
He did my rising fears control.
And strength diffused through all my soul.
4 Amidst a thousand snares I stand,
Upheld and guarded by thy hand;
Tiiy words my fointing soul revive,
And keep my dying faith alive.

To save from sorrows and from sins;
The work that wisdom undertakes,
Eternal mercy ne'er forsakes.

Safely through another week,
God has brought us on our way;
Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in his courts to-day;
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.
2 While we seek supplies of grace,
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 rest.
4 May the gospel's joyful sound
Wake our minds to raptures new ;
Let thy victories abound, —
Unrepenting souls subdue;
Thus let all our Sabbaths prove,
Till we rest in thee above.

^O " Prayer with Thanks."
Heavenly Father, sovereign Lord^
Be thy glorious name adored!
Lord ! thy mercies never fail ;
Hail, celestial goodness, hail!
2 Though unworthy. Lord, thine ear,
Deign our humble songs to hear;
Purer praise we hope to bring,
When around thy throne we sing.
3 While on earth ordained to stay,
Guide our footsteps in thy way,
Till we come to dAvell with thee,
Till we all thy glory see.
4 Then, with angel-harps again,
We will wake a nobler strain;
There, in joyful songs of praise,
Our triumphant voices raise.

But there's a nobler rest above;
To that onr longing souls aspire,
With cheerful hope and strong desire.

Nor sin nor death shall reach the place ;
No groans shall mingle with the songs
That warble from immortal tongues.

No cares to break the long repose,
No midnight shade, no clouded sun.

Fain would we leave this weary road.
And sleep in death to rest with God.

While thus my early vows I pay.

And drive each carnal thought away;
Nor let me feel one vain desire —
One sinful thought through all the day.

My soul shall rise on joyful wing,
The wonders of thy love declare.
And join the strains which angels sing.

This is the day that proves it thine.

A thousand honors on his head,

Salvation to our dying race;
Let the whole church address their King,
With hearts of joy, and songs of praise.

Forth from the dark and stormy sky,

Forth from the world, its hope and fear,
Father, we seek thy shelter here;
Weary and weak thy grace we pray;
Turn not, O Lord, thy guests away.

Long have we sought thy rest in vain;
Wildered in doubt, in darkness lost.
Long have our souls been tempest-tossed;
Low at thy feet our sins we lay;

On me with beams of mercy shine!
Oh, chase the clouds of guilt away,
And turn my darkness into day.
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.
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!

2 O I Thirsting for God. —Ps. 42.
As, panting in the sultry beam,
The hart desires the cooling stream,
So to thy presence, Lord, I flee.
So longs my soul, 0 God, for thee;
Athirst to taste thy living grace.
And see thy glory face to face.
2 But rising griefs distress my soul.
And tears on tears successive roll;
For many an evil voice is near
To chide my woe and mock my fear;
And silent memory weeps alone
O'er hours of peace and gladness flown.
Ah, why, by passing clouds oppressed.
Should vexingthoughts distract thy breast?
Turn, turn to him, in every pain,
Whom suppliants never soi>ght in vainj
Thy strength, in joy's ecstatic day.
Thy hope, when joy has passed away.

The Lord my pasture shall prepare.
And feed me with a shepherd's care;
His presence shall my wants supply.
And guard me with a watchful eye ;
My noonday walks he shall attend.
And all my midnight hours defend.
2 When in the sultry glebe I faint.
Or on the thirsty mountain pant,
To fertile vales, and dewy meads.
My weary, wandering steps he leads;
Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow.
Amid the verdant landscape flow.
3 Though in the paths of death I tread,
With gloomy horrors overspread,
My steadfast heart shall fear no ill.
For thou, 0 Lord, art with me still ;
Thy friendly rod shall give me aid,
And guide me through the dreadful shade.
4 Though in a bare and rugged way,
Through devious, lonely wilds I stray.
Thy presence shall my pains beguile:
The barren wilderness shall smile.
With sudden greens and herbage crowned;
And streams shall murmur all around.

What Prayer is.
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 reacli
The Majesty on high.
4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath,
The Christian's native air:
His watchAvord 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"
6 O thou, by whom we come to God —
The Life, the Truth, the Way;
The path of prayer thyself hast trod;
Lord! teach us how to pray.
f^f\t-t HASTINGS.
O ^ / " IVaL/i and Pray. ' '
The Saviour bids thee watch and pray
Through life's momentous hour;
And grants the Spirit's quickening ray
To those who seek his power.
2 The Saviour bids thee watch and pray,
Maintain a warrior's strife;
0 Christian! hear his voice to-day:
Obedience is thy life.
3 The Saviour bids thee watch and pray,
For soon the hour will come
That calls thee from the earth away
To thy eternal home.
4 The Saviour bids thee watch and pray,
Oh, hearken to his voice.
And follow where he leads the way.
To heaven's eternal joys !
BEDDOME.
3 ^ " Comfort in Prayer.
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.

I LOVE to steal awhile away
From every cumbering care,
And spend the hours of setting day
In humble, grateful prayer.
2 I love in solitude to shed
The penitential tear,
And all his promises to plead,
AVhere none but God can hear.
3 I love to think on mercies past,
And future good implore.
And all my cares and sorrows cast
On him whom I adore.
4 I love by faith to take a view
Of brighter scenes in heaven;
The prospect doth my strength rencAv
While here by tempests driven.
5 Thus, when life's toilsome day is o'er,
May its departing ray
Be calm as this impressive hour,
And lead to endless day.

O «5 Prayer a Power.
There is an eye that never sleeps
Beneath the wing of night;
There is an ear that never shuts.
When sink the beams of light.
2 There is an arm that never tires,
When human strength gives way;
There is a love that never fails,
When earthly loves decay.
3 That eye is fixed on seraph throngs;
That arm upholds the sky;
That ear is filled with angel songs;
That love is throned on high.
4 But there's a power which man can wield
When mortal aid is vain.
That eye, that arm, that love to reach,
That listening ear to gain.
5 That power is prayer, which soars on high,
Through Jesus, to the throne;
And moves the hand which moves the world.

"■• ^ Morning Prayer.
How sweet tlie melting lay
Which breaks upon the ear,
When at the hour of rising day
Christians unite in prayer.
2 The breezes waft their cries
Up to Jehovah's throne;
He Hstens to their humble sighs,
And sends his blessings down.
3 So Jesus rose to pray
Before the morning light —
Once on the chilling mount did stay,
And wrestle all the night.
4 So Jesus still doth pray
Before the morning bright,
On heavenly mountains far away,
AVhile we toil here in night.
5 Leave, Lord, thy vigil there.
Descend upon life's wave;
Come to the bark through midnight air,
The storm shall cease to rave.

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.

On all thy people here,
And when we raise our longing eyes
Oh, may we find thee near!

To quicken every soul;
And hearts the most rebellious bend
To thy divine control.
3 Let all that own thy name
Thy sacred image bear;
And light in every heart the flame
Of watchfulness and prayer.
4 Since in thy love we see
Our only sure relief.
Oh, raise our earthly minds to thee,
And help our unbeUef.

Thus far his power prolongs mv days;
And every evening shall make known
Some fresh memorial of his grace.
2 Much of my time has run to waste.
And I, perhaps, am near my home;
But he forgives my follies past,
And gives me strength for days to come.

Peace is the pillow for my head ;
While well-appointed angels keep
Their watchful stations round my bed.

My flesh shall rest beneath the ground,
And wait thy voice to break my tomb,
With sweet salvation in the sound.

Bless, oh, bless us, ere we go;

To save the holy words from death.

Why doth thy hand so kindly rear
A useless cumberer of the ground,
On which so little fruit is found ?

I And let its fruit and verdure be
A gratefal tribute. Lord, to thee.

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.
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 bm*n.
And all the planets in their turn,
Confirm the tidings as they roll.
And spread the truth from pole to pole.
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."
T-'^ / In the Seasons.
Eternal Source of every joy,
Well may thy praise our lips employ.
While in thy temple we appear,
To hail thee, Sovereign of the year!
2 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.
1 3 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.
4 Thy hand, in autumn, richly pours,
Through all our coasts, redundant stores:
And winters, softened by thy care,
Xo more the face of horror wear.
Seasons and months, and weeks and days.
Demand successive songs of praise;
And 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.

While thee I seek, protecting Power!
Be my vain wishes stilled;
And may this consecrated hour
With better hopes be filled!
Thy love the power of thought bestowed;
To thee my thoughts would soar:
Thy mercy o'er my life has flowed;
That mercy I adore.
2 In each event of life, hoAv clear
Thy ruling hand I see!
Each blessing to my soul more dear
Because conferred by thee.
In every joy that crowns my days,
In every pain I bear,
My heart shall find delight in praise
Or seek relief in prayer.
3 When gladness wings my favored hour,
Thy love my thoughts shall fill;
Resigned, when storms of sorrow lower,
My soul shall meet thy will.

The gathering storm shall see ;
My steadfast heart shall knoAv no fear;
That heart will rest on thee.

Wretched wanderer, far astray;
Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee
From the paths of death away ;
Praise, with love's devoutest feeling,

And, the light of hope revealing.
Bade the blood-stained cross appear.

Yainly 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.

Lord of earth ! thy forming hand
Well this beauteous frame hath planned;
W'oods that wave, and hills that tower,
Ocean rolling in his power:
Yet, amid this scene so fair.
Should I cease thy smile to share,
What w^re all its joys to me?
Whom have I on earth but thee?
2 Lord of heaven ! beyond our sight
Shines a world of purer light;
There in love's unclouded reign
Parted hands shall meet again:
Oh, that world is passing fair!
Yet, if thou wert absent there.
What were all its joys to me?
Whom have I in heaven but thee?

The Lord Jehovah reigns;
His throne is built on high ;
The garments he assumes
Are light and majesty:
His glories shine with beams so bright,
No mortal eye can bear the sight.
2 Through all his ancient works,
Surprising wisdom shines;
Confounds the powers of hell,
And breaks their cursed designs:
Strong is his arm — and shall fulfill
His great decrees — his sovereign will.

Of glory condescend, —

Hail! the Sun of Righteousness!

Risen with healing in his wings.

Born that man no more may die :
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.

Wiien the Prince of Peace was born;
Songs of praise arose, when he

The ghttering host bestud the sky,
One star alone, of all the train,
Can fix the sinner's wandering eye.
Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks
From every host, fi-om every gem;
But one alone the Saviour speaks, —
It is the Star of Bethlehem.
2 Once on the raging seas I rode.
The storm was loud, the night was dark.
The ocean yawned, and rudely blowed
The wind that tossed my founderingbark .
Deep horror then my vitals froze;
Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem:
When suddenly a star aro.se.
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.
Xow 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 !

And silence slept on Zion's hill;
When Salem's shepherds thro' the night
Watched o'er their flocks by starry hght;
Hark! from the midnight hills around,
A voice of more than mortal sound
In distant hallelujahs stole,
Wild murmuring o'er the raptured soul.
On wheels of light, on wings of flame,
The glorious hosts of Zion came ;
High heaven with songs of triumph rung,
Wliile thusthey struck theirharpsaudsung:

Bids Satan and his host depart;
Again the Daystar gilds the gloom,
Again the bowers of Eden bloom."

4 / U <'The Word -was God. ' '
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 By his own power were all things made:
By him supported, all things stand;
He is the whole creation's head,
And angels fly at his command.
3 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?
i 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.
5 Mortals with joy l)ehold his face,
The eternal Father's only Son:
How full of truth, how full of grace,
When in his eyes the Godhead shone I
G Archangels leave their high abode.
To learn new mysteries here, and tell
The love of our descending God,
The glories of Immanuel.

All praise to thee, eternal Lord,
Clothed in a garb of flesh and blood;
Choosing a manger for thy throne.
While worlds on worlde 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 coniest 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 ns 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.

At our Redeemer's birth;
Mortals! awake; let every tongue
Proclaim his matchless worth.
2 Glory to God, who dAvells on high,
And sent his only Son
To take a servant's form, and die,
For evils we had done!
3 Good-will to men; ye fallen race!
Arise, and shout for joy;
He comes, with rich abounding grace.
To save, and not destroy.
4 Lord! send the gracioiis tidings forth,
And fill the world with light.
That Jew and Gentile, through the earth,
May know thy saving might.

T- / O " The Saviour Conies."
Hark, the glad -sound! the Saviour comes.
The Saviour promised long;
Let every heart prepare a throne.
And every voice a song.
2 He comes, the prisoner to release.
In Satan's bondage held;
The gates of brass before him burst,
The iron fetters yield.
3 He comes, from thickest films of vice
To clear the mental ray,
And, on the eyes long closed in night,
To pour celestial dav.
176
4 He comes, the broken heart to bind.
The bleeding soul to cure,
And, with the treasures of his grace,
Enrich the humble poor.
5 Our glad hosannas. Prince of Peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim.
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With thy beloved name.

" Glory to God."
Calm on the listening ear of night,
Come heaven's melodious strains,
Where wild Judea stretches far
Her silver-mantled plains.
2 Celestial choirs, from courts above.
Shed sacred glories there.
And angels, with their sparkhng lyres.
Make music on the air.
3 The answering hills of Palestine
Send back the glad reply;
And greet, from all their holy heights,
The day-spring from on high.
4 O'er the blue depths of Galilee
There comes a holier calm,
And Sharon waves, in solemn praise.
Her silent groves of palm.
5 "Glory to God!'' the sounding skies
Loud with their anthems ring —
''Peace to the earth, good-will to men,
From heaven's eternal King!"

It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold;
" Peace to the earth, good-will to man,
From heaven's all-gracious King:"
The earth in solemn stillness lay,
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come,
AVith peaceful wings unfurled;
And still celestial music floats
O'er all the weary world;
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on heavenly wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds,
The blessed angels sing.
O ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way,
AVith painful steps and slow; —
Look up! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh, rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing!
For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophet-bards foretold,
When v\ith 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!

I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary, and worn, and sad,
I found in him a resting-place,
And he hath made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, —
" Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one,
Stoop down, and drhik, and live!"
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream ;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And noAV I live in hhn.
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 l)right !''
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In him my Star, inv Sun;
And in that light of life I'll walk,

"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 hfe.
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'.''

How sweetly flowed the gospel sound
From lips of gentleness and grace,
When listening thousands gathered round,
And joy and gladness tilled 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,
Uuvailing an immortal day.

Come, all ye weary ones, and rest:"
Yes, sacred Teacher, we will come,
Obey thee, love thee, and be blest!

Pillars of earthly pride, decay:
A nobler mansion waits the just.
And Jesus has prepared the way.

How beauteous were the marks divine,
That in thy meekness used to shine,
That lit thy lonely pathway, trod
In wondrous love, 0 Son of God!
2 Oh, who like thee, so calm, so bright,
So pure, so made to live in light?
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, high,
So glorious in humility ?

Ev'n 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.
Oh, in thy light be mine to go,
Illuming all my way of woe!
And give me ever on the road
To trace thy footsteps, .Son of God.

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.
Through paths of loving-kindness led.
Where Jesus triumphed we would tread;
To all, with willing hands dispense
The gifts of our benevolence.

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! 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,
riemands my soul, my life, my all.

5^3 ''Eloi, Eloir
From Calvary a cry was heard —
A bitter and heart-rending cry;
My Saviour! every mournful word
Bespoke thy soul's deep agony.
2 A horror of great darkness fell
On thee, thou spotless, holy One!
And all the eager hosts of hell
Conspired to tempt God's only Son.
3 Thescourge,the thorns, thedeepdisgrace —
These thou couldst bear, nor once repine ;
But when Jehovah vailed his face,
Unutterable pangs were thine.
4 Let the dumb world its silence break ;
Let pealing anthems rend the sky ;
Awake, my sluggish soul, awake!
He died, that we might never die.
0Vi4 Wounded /or us.
Jesus, whom angel hosts adore,
Became a man of griefs for me ;
In love, though rich, becoming poor,
That 1 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.
5 'T is finished all: the vail is rent.
The welcome sure, the access free: — -
Now then, we leave our banishment,
0 Father, to return to thee !

Alas! and did my Saviour bleed,
And did my Sovereign die ?
Would be devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I ?

He groaned upon the tree?

And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the great Creator, died
For man, the creature's sm.

While his dear cross appears;

And melt my eyes to tears.

The debt of love I owe ;

Nailed to the shameful tree!

To bleed and die for me!

And earth's strong pillars bend!
The temple's vail asunder breaks,
The solid marbles rend.

In evil long I took delight,
TJnawed by shame or fear,
Till a new object struck my sight,
And stopped my wild career.
2 I saw One hanging on a tree,
In agony and blood.
Who fixed his languid eyes on me,
As near his cross I stood.
3 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.
4 My conscience felt and owned the guilt;
And plunged me in despair;
I saw my sins his blood had spilt.
And helped to nail him there.
5 A second look he gave, which said,
"I freely all forgive;
This blood is for thy ransom paid;
I die, that thou mayst hve."
G Thus, while his death my sin displays
In all its blackest hue,
Such is the mystery of grace.
It seals my pardon too.
D^y "O Christ of God. ' •
0 Jesus! sweet the tears I shed.
While at thy cross I kneel.
Gaze on thy wounded, fainting head,
And all thy sorrows feel.
2 My heart dissolves to see thee bleed,
This heart so hard before;
I hear thee for the guilty plead.
And grief o'erflows the more.
3 O Christ of God! 0 spotless Lamb!
By love my soul is drawn;
Henceforth for ever thine I am;
Here life and peace are born.
4 In patient hope the cross I '11 bear,
Thine arm shall be my stay;
And thou, enthroned, my soul shalt spare
On thy great judgment-day.

■•■ ^ "He re}ne7nbers Calvary."
How condescending and how kind
Was God's eternal Son!
Our misery reached his heavenly mind,
And pity brought him down.
2 He sunk beneath our heavy woes,
To raise us to his throne;
There's ne'er a gift his hand bestows.
But cost his heart a groan.
3 This was compassion, like a God,
That when the Saviour knew
The price of pardon was his blood,
His pity ne'er withdrew.
4 Now, though he reigns exalted high,
His love is still as great;
Well he remembers Calvary,
Nor let his saints forget.

O SACRED Head, now wounded,
With grief and shame weighed down,
Now scornfully surrounded
AVith thorns, thine only crown;
O sacred Head, what glory.
What bliss, till now was thine!
Yet, though despised and gory,
I joy to call thee mine.
2 What thou, my Lord, hast suffered
Was all for sinners' gain:
Mine, mine was the transgression,
But thine the deadly pain:
Lo, here I fall, my Saviour!
'Tis I deserve thy place;
Look on me with thy favor,
Vouchsafe to me thy grace.
3 The joy can ne'er be spoken,
Above all joys beside,
When in thy body broken
I thus with safety hide:
My Lord of life, desiring
Thy glory now to see.
Beside thy cross expiring,
I'd breathe my soul to thee.

What language shall I borrow,
To praise thee, heavenly Friend:
For this, thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end?
Lord, make me thine for ever,
Xor let me faithless prove:
Oh, let me never, never,
Abuse such dying love.
Forbid that I should leave thee;
0 Jesus, leave not me!
By faith 1 Avould receive thee;
Thy blood can make me free!
When strength and comfort languish.
And I must hence depart.
Release me then from anguish,
By thine own wounded heart.
Be near when I am dying.
Oh, show thy cross to me!
And for my succor flying.
Come, Lord, and set me free I
These eyes, new faith receiving,
From Jesus shall not move;
For he who dies believing,
Dies safely — through thy love.

What joy the blest assurance gives!
And now, before his Father, God,
Pleads the full merit of his blood.
2 Repeated crimes awake our fears,
And justice armed with frowns appears;
But in the Saviour's lovely face
Sweet mercy smiles, and all is peace.

When sin and Satan join their power,
Let this dear hope repel the dart,

0^4 2 Timothy 1: 9, 10.
Now to the power of God supreme
Be everlasting honors given;
He saves from hell, — we bless his name, —
He guides our wandering feet to heaven
2 Not for our duties or deserts.
But of his own abounding grace,
He works salvation in our hearts,
And forms a people for his praise.
8 '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.
4 Jesus, the Lord, appears at last.
And makes his Father's counsel known ,
Declares the great transaction past,
And brings immortal blessings down.
5 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.
Weep }ioi."—Ltcke 24: 46.

He dies! — the friend of sinners dies;
Lo! Salem's daughters weep around;
A solemn darkness vails the sides;
A sudden trembling shakes the ground.
2 Here's love and grief beyond degree:
The Lord of glory dies for men;
But lo! what sudden joys we see,
Jesus, the dead, revives again.
3 The rising God forsakes the tomb;
Up to his Father's court he flies;
Cherubic legions guard him home.
And shout him welcome to the skies.
4 Break off your tears, ye saints, and tell
How high our great Deliverer reigns;
Sing how he spoiled the hosts of hell.
And led the tyrant Death in chains.
5 Say — live for ever, glorious King,
Born to redeem, and strong to save!
Where now, 0 Death, where is thy sting?
And where thy victory, boasting Grave ?

To cleanse from every sinful stain.
And make us kings and priests to God —

To pass unto thy crown.

Our onward course must be;
But only let that path of tears
Lead us at last to thee!

Through all eternity.
2 Crown him the Lord of love!
Behold his hands and side, —
Those wounds, yet visible above,
In beauty glorified:
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends his wondering eye
At mysteries so bright.
3 Crown him the Lord of heaven!
One with the Father known, —
And the blest Spirit through him given
From yonder Triune throne!
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For thou hast died for me:
Thy praise and glory shall not fail
Throughout eternity.

There in the boundless world of light
Our great Redeemer dwells.

In countless armies shine;
And ever, in exalted lays,
They offer songs divine.
3 "Hail, Prince of life!" they cry,
"Whose unexampled love,
Moved thee to quit these glorious realms
And royalties above."
4 And when he stooped to earth,
And suffered rude disdain,
They cast their honors at his feet,
And Avaited in his train.
5 They saw him on the cross,
While darkness vailed the skies,
And when he burst the gates of death,
They saw the conqueror rise.
6 They thronged his chariot Avheels,
And bore him to his throne;
Then swept their golden harps and sung, —
"The glorious work is done."

Thou hast raised our human nature.
On the clouds to God's right hand;
There we sit in heavenly places,
There with thee in glory stand;
Jesus reigns, adored by angels;
Man with God is on the throne;
Mighty Lord! in thine ascension,
We by faith behold our own.
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.
So at last, when he appeareth,
We ft'om 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.

" The Debt of Lozie"
CoMEj every pious heart,
That loves the Saviour's name,
Your noblest powers exert
To celebrate his fame;
Tell all above, and all below,
The debt of love to him you owe.
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 hej'ose,
The mansions of the dead.
And thence his mighty foes
In glorious triumph led;
Up through the sky the Conqueror rode,
And reigns on high, the Saviour God.
4 Jesus, we ne'er can pay
The debt we owe thy love;
Yet tell us how we may
Our gratitude approve;
Our hearts, our all to thee we give;
The gift, though small, thou wilt receive.

And triumph evermore!

Kejoice! — again I say, rejoice!
2 Jesus, the Saviour, reigns,
The God of truth and love;
When he had purged our stains,
He took his seat above:
Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice;
Rejoice! — again I say, rejoice!
3 His kingdom can not fail;
He rules o'er earth and heaven;
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Jesus given:
Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice;
Rejoice! — again I say, rejoice!
4 Rejoice in glorious hope:
Jesus, the Judge, shall come,
And take his servants up
To their eternal home:
We soon shall hear the archangel's voice;
The trump of God shall sound, Rejoice/

So, in the secrecy of love.
Falls the sweet influence from above.
2 That heavenly influence let me find
In holy silence of the mind.
While every grace maintains its bloom,
Difi'using wide its rich perfume.
3 Nor let these blessings be confined
To me, but poured on all mankind.
Till earth's wild wastes in verdure rise,
And a young Eden bless our eyes.

O / ^ Prayer for the Spirit.
0 Spirit of the living God,
In all thy plentitude of grace.
Where'er the foot of man hath trod,
Descend on our apostate race.
2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love,
To preach the reconciling word;
Give power and unction from above,
Where'er the joyful sound is heard.
3 Be darkness, at thy coming, light;
Confuvsion, order, in thy path;
Souls without strength in pire with might;
Bid mercy triumph over wrath.
4 Baptize the nations! far and nigh
The triumphs of the cross record;
The name of Jesus glorify,
Till every people call him Lord,
THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Touched by the finger of thy wrath,
We faint and vanish like a moth.
4 From night to day, from day to night,
We die by thousands in thy sight;
Buried in dust whole nations lie,
Like a forgotten vanity.
5 Almighty Power, to thee we bow;
How frail are we! how glorious thou!
No more the sons of earth shall dare
With an eternal God compare.

Lol on a narrow neck of land,
'Twixt two unbounded seas, I stand,
Secure! insensible!
A point of time, a moment's space,
Removes me to yon heavenly place,
Or shuts me up in hell.
2 0 God! my inmost soul convert.
And deeply on my thou<rhtful heart
Eternal things impress:
Give me to feel their solemn weight,
And save me ere it be too late;
AVake me to righteousness.
3 Before me place, in dread array,
The pomp of that tremendous day.
When thou with clouds shalt come
To judge the nations at thy bar;
And tell me, Lord ! shall I be there
To meet a joyful doom !
4 Be this my one great business here, —
With holy trembling, holy fear.
To make my calling sure!
Thine utmost counsel to fulfil],
And suffer all thy righteous will,
And to the end endure!
5 Then Saviour, then my soul receive,
Then bid me in thy presence hve,
And reign with thee above;
Where faith is sweetly lost in sight,
And hope, in full, supreme delight,
And everlasting love.

Awaked by Sinai's awful sound,
My soul in bonds of guilt I found,
And knew not where to go;
One solemn truth increased iny pain,
" The sinner must be born again,"
Or sink to endless woe.
2 I heard the law its thunders roll,
W^hile guilt lay heavy on my soul —
A vast oppressive load ;
All creature-aid I saw Avas vain;
" The sinner must be born again,"
Or drink the wrath of God.
j3 The saints I heard with rapture tell-^-
How Jesus conquered death and hell
To bring salvation near;
Yet still I found this truth remain —
" The sinner must l)e born again,"
Or sink in deep despair.
But while I thus in anguish lay,
The bleeding Saviour passed that way.
My bondage to remove;
The sinner, once by justice slain.
Now by his grace is born again,
And sings redeeming love.

Not all the outward forms on earth,
Nor rites that God has given,
Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth,
Can raise a soul to heaven.
2 The sovereign Avill of God alone
Creates us heirs of grace;
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.
4 Our quickened souls awake and rise
From the long sleep of death;
On heavenly things we fix our eyes,
And praise employs our breath.

'J ^ y ''All become guilty. ' '
Vain are the hopes, the sons of men
On their own works have built;
Their hearts, by nature, all unclean.
And all their actions, guilt.
2 Let Jew and Gentile stop their mouths,
Without a murmuring word;
And the whole race of Adam stand
Guilty before the Lord.
3 Jesus! how glorious is thy grace; —
When in thy name we trust,
Our faith receives a righteousness.
That makes the sinner just.

While crowds mistake and die.
2 Beloved self must be denied,
The mind and will renewed,
Passion suppressed, and patience tried,
And vain desires subdued.
3 Lord! can a feeble, helpless worm,
Fulfill a task so hard !
Thy grace must all my work perfonn,
And give the free reward.

How sad our state by nature is!
Our sin — how deep it stains!
And Satan holds our captive minds
Fast in his slavish chains.
2 But there's a voice of sovereign grace,
Sounds from the sacred word:
"Ho! ye despairing sinners, come.
And trust a pardoning Lord."
3 My soul obeys the almighty call,
And runs to this relief;
I would believe thy promise. Lord:
Oh, help my unbelief!
4 A guilty, weak, and helpless worm.
On thy kind arms I fall;
Be thou my Strength and Righteousness,
My Saviour and my All.

Hath answered these demands;

Lord, how secure my conscience was,
And felt no inward dread!
I 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,
Is 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 ever}' breath
For some kind power to save.
To break the yoke of sin and death,
And thus redeem the slave.

But all the downward road.
How dreadful was the hour,
When God our wanderings laid.
And did at once his vengeance pour,
L^pon the Shepherd's head I
How glorious was the grace,
When Christ sustained the stroke!

And make him see a numerous seed,
To recompense his pain.

For Adam's lost race Christ hath opened

For sin and uncleanness, and every trans-

O'er sin, death, and hell, thou art more

Thy name is the theme of the great con-

While angels and men raise the shout of

With harps in our hands, we'll praise

And sing of salvation for ever and ever!

Awake, my soul, to joyful la)^,
And sing the great Redeemer's praise;
He justly claims a song from me:
His loving-kindness, oh, how fi-ee!
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!
Though numerous hosts of mighty foes,
Though earth and hell my way oppose,
He safely leads my soul along:
His lovinsr-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!
5 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale;
Soon all my mortal powers nuist fail:
Oh, may my last expiring breath
His loving-kindness sing in death!
6 Then let me mount and soar away
To the bright world of endless day;
And sing, with rapture and surprise,
His loving-kindness in the skies!

^JO A hiding-place— Ps. 22:1.
Hail, sovereign love, that formed the plan
To save rebelhouc, ruined man!
Hail, matchless, free, eternal grace,
That gave my soul a hiding-place.
2 An^ainst the God that rules the sky
I fought, with weapons lifted high;
I madly ran the sinful race,
Regardless of a hiding-place.
8 Yet when God's justice rose in view,
To Sinai's burning mount I flew;
Keen were the pangs of my distress-
The mountain was no hiding-place.
But a celestial voice I heard,
A bleeding Saviour then appeared;
Led by the Spirit of his grace,
I found in him a hiding-place.
On him the weight of vengeance fell.
That else had sunk a world to hell;
Then, O my soul, for ever praise
Thy Saviour God, thy hiding-place!

Why will ye waste on trifling cares

While, in the various range of thought,
The one thing needful is forgot?
2 Shall God invite you from above ?
Shall Jesus urge his dying love ?
Shall troubled conscience give you pain ?
And all these pleas unite in vain?

Those objects which you now pursue :
Not so will heaven and hell appear,

How sweet the gospel's charming sound !
Come, sinners, haste, oh, haste away.

It was the Spirit's gracious call;
It bade thee make the better choice.
And haste to seek in Christ thine all.

My raptured song shall ever be,
God hath been merciful to me!
AQo watts.
^O^ Psalm 130.
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.

Thou only Sovereign of my heart,

And can my soul from thee depart,
On whom alone my hopes depend!
2 Whither, ah! whither shall I go,
A wretched wanderer from my Lord ?
Can this dark world of sin and woe
One glimpse of happiness afford?
3 Eternal life thy words impart;
On these my fainting spirit lives;
Here sweeter comforts cheer my heart,
Than all the round of nature gives.
4 Thy name my inmost powers adore;
Thou art my life, my joy, my care ;
Depart from thee — 'tis death, 'tis more;
'Tis endless ruin, deep despair!
5 Low at thy feet my soul would lie;
Here safety dwells, and peace divine;
Still let me live beneath thine eye,
For life, eternal life, is thine.

I SEXD the joys of earth away;
Away, ye tempters of the mind,
False as the smooth, deceitful sea.
And empty as the whistling wind.

Down to the gulf of dark despair;

I stretch my hands and glance my eyes;
Oh, for the pinions of a dove,
To bear me to the upper skies!

Oceans of endless pleasure roll;
There would I fix my last abode,
And drown the sorrows of my soul,

Lost and undone, for aid I flee;
Weary of earth, myself, and sin,
Open thine arms and take me in.
2 Pity and save my ruined soul;
'Tis thou alone canst make me whole;
Dark, till in me thine image shine,
And lost I am, till thou art mine.

Now to thy footstool let me come.

From sorrow's Aveeping eye; —
2 See, Lord, before thy throne of grace,

Hast thou not bid me seek thy face ?
Hast thou not said — " Return ?''
3 And shall my guilty fears prevail
To drive me from thy feet ?
Oh, let not tliis dear refuge fail,

And let thy healing voice impart

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 Satan sorely pressed;
By wars without, and fears within,
I come to thee for rest.

That, sheltered near thy side,

And tell him — thou hast died.

To bear the cross and shame.
That guilty sinners, such as I,
Might plead thy gracious name!

With heavy heart and downcast eye.

Of thy forgiving love;
Take all our heinous guilt away;
This heavy load remove.
3 'Tis mercy — mercy we implore;
We would thy pity move:
Thy grace is an exhaustless store,
And thou thyself art love.
4 Oh, for thine own, for Jesus' sake,

And pour my woes abroad.

What sorrows I sustain;

And leaves my heart in pain.

To wrestle with my God:

A guilty rebel lies ;
And upwards, to thy mercy-seat.
Presumes to lift his eyes.

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.
But no such sacrifice I plead
To expiate my guilt;
No tears, but those which thou hast shed,—
No blood, but thou hast spilt.
Think of thy sorrows, dearest Lord !
And all my sins forgive;
Then justice will approve the word,
That bids the sinner live.

Which from repentance flow;
That sense of guilt which, trembhng, fears

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

Weary, Lord, of struo:p:ling here
With this constant doubt and fear,
Burdened by the pains I bear,
And the trials I must share —
Help me, Lord, again to flee
To the rest that's found in thee.
Weakened by the wayward will
Which controls, yet cheats me still;
Seeking something undefined
With an earnest, darkened mind —
Help me. Lord, again to flee
To the light that breaks from thee.
Fettered by this earthly scope
In the reach and aim of hope,
Fixing thought in narrow bound
Where no living truth is found —
Help me, Lord, again to flee
To the hope that's fixed in thee.
Fettered, burdened, wearied, weak,
Lord, once more thy grace I seek;
Turn, oh, turn me not away,
Help me, Lord, to Avateh and pray —
That I never more may flee
From the rest that's found in thee.
Hear and save me, gracious Lord I
For my trust is in thy word;
Wash me from the stain of sin.
That thy peace may rule within t
]\[ay I know myself thy child,
Ransomed, pardoned, reconciled.

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;
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, bleedhig Lamb!

XX <« Where is the blessedness ?"
Sweet was the time wlien 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 th^. 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 NoAv, when the evening shade prevails,
My soul in darkness mourns;
And when the morn the light reveals,
No light to me returns.
5 Rise, Saviour! l.e'.p me to prevail,
And make my soul thy care;
I know thy mercy cannot fail,
Let me that mercy share.
/ X ^ ^- Mcner ivas a heart so base."
With tears of anguish I lament,
Here, at thy feet, my God,
My passion, pride, and discontent,
And vile ingratitude.
2 Sure, never was a heart so base,
So false as mine has been;
So faithless to its promises,
So prone to every sin.
263
STENNETT.
3 Reason, I hear, her counsels weigh,
And all her words approve;
But still I find it hard to obey,
And harder yet to love.
4 How long, dear Saviour, shall I feel
These struggles in my breast?
When wilt thou bow my stubborn will,
And give my conscience rest?
5 Break, sovereign grace, oh,break thecharm,
And set the captive free;
Reveal, almighty God, thine arm.
And haste to rescue me.

*• ^ "Nearer to thee."
Oh, could I find, from day to day
A nearness to my God,
Then would my hours glide sweet away
While leaning on his word.
2 Lord, I desire with thee to live
Anew from day to day,
In joys the world can never give.
Nor ever take away.
3 Blest Jesus, come and rule my heart,
And make me wholly thine.
That I may never more depart.
Nor grieve thy love divine.
4 Thus, till my last, expiring breath,
Thy goodness I '11 adore ;
And when my frame dissolves in death,
My soul shall love thee more.

Stand up, my soul, shake off thy fears,
And gh'cl 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 Avhen 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 iu my glorious Leader's praise.

Awake, our souls! away, our fears!
Let every trembling thought be gone;
Awake, and run the heavenly race.
And put a cheerful courage on!
2 True, 't is a strait and tliorny road,
And mortal spirits tire and faint;
But they forget the mighty God,
Who feeds the strength of every saint — ,
3 The mighty God, whose matchless power
Is ever new and ever young, ;
And firm endures, while endless vears i
From thee, the overflowing spring.
Our souls shall drink a fresh supply;
While such as trust their native strength
Shall melt away, and droop, and die.
Swift as an eagle cuts the air,
We'll mount aloft to thhie abode;
On wings of love our souls shall fly.
Nor tire amid the heavenly road!

Awake, my soul! lift up thine eyes;
See where thy foes against thee rise,
In long array, a numerous host;
Awake, my soul! or thou art lost.
2 See where rebellious passions rage.
And fierce desires and lusts engage;
The meanest foe of all the train
Has thousands and ten thousands slain.
3 Thou treadest on enchanted groimd;
Perils and snares beset thee round;
Beware of all, guard every part —
But most the traitor in thy heart.
4 The terror and the charm repel,
The powers of earth, and powers of hell:
The Man of Calvary triumphed here:
Why should his faithful followers fear?
5 Come then, my soul! now learn to wield
The weight of thine immortal shield;
Put on the armor, from above,
Of heavenlv truth, and beavenlv love.

The Christiau while he sings;
It is the Lord, who rises
With healing in his wings:
When comforts are declining,
H3 grants the soul again
A season of clear shining,
To cheer it after rain.

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 tlie unknown to-morrow *

3 It can bring with it nothing,
Bat he will hear us through;
Wiio gives the lilies clothing,
Will cloth? his people too:
Beneath the spreading heavens,
No creature but is fed;
And lie who feeds the ravens.
Will give his children bread.

Their wonted fruit should bear,
Though all the fields should wither,
Nor flocks nor herds be there;

His praise shall tune my voice,
For while in him confidmg,

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?
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.
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.

In the way the fathers trod;

Soon their happiness shall see.

You on Jesus' throne shall rest;
There your seat is now prepared;
There your kingdom and reward.

On the borders of your land;

Bids you undismayed go on.

Gladly leaving all below;
Only thou our Leader be,
And we still will follow thee.

As to Canaan on ye move.

Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave, and follow thee;
Naked, poor, despised, forsaken,
Thou, from hence, my all shalt be!
Perish, every fond ambition,
All I've sought, or hoped, or known,
Yet how rich is my condition,
God and heaven are still my own!
I Let the world despise and leave me,
They have left my Saviour, too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me —
Thou art not, like them, untrue;
Oh, while thou dost smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might.
Foes may hate, and friends disown me,
Show thy face, and all is bright.
3 Man may trouble and distress me,
'T will but drive me to thy breast,
Life with trials hard may press me.
Heaven will bring me sweeter rest!
Oh, 'tis not in grief to harm me.
While thy love is left to me;
Oh, 't were not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with thee.
Go then, earthly fame and treasure!
Come disaster, scorn, and pain!
In thy service pain is pleasure,
With thy favor, loss is gain.
I have called thee Abba, Father!
I have stayed my heart on thee!
Storms may howl and cl uds may gather,
All must work for good to me.
Soul, then know thy full salvation.
Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care;
Joy to find in every station
Something still to do or bear.
Think what Spirit dwells within thee;
Think what Father's smiles are thine;
Think that Jesus died to win thee;
Child of heaven, canst thou repine?
Haste thee on from grace to glory.
Armed by faith, and winged by prayer J
Heaven's eternal day 's before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there:
Soon shall close thy earthly mission,
Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days,
Hope shall change to glad fruition.
Faith to sight, and praver to praise.

In perfect wisdom, perfect love,

How far from this our daily life.

Then rise, with lightened cheer,
Sure that the Father, who is nigh
To still the famished raven's cry,
Will hear, in that we fear!

dismayed,
For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid ;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause
thee to stand,
Upheld by my gracious, omnipotent hand.
3 " When through the deep waters I call
thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow ;
For I will be with thee thy trials to bless.
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.

"When through fiery trials thy pathway
shall lie.
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply,
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only
design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
" Ev'n down to old age all my people shall
prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And then, when gray hairs shall their
temples adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be
borne.

repose,
I will not — I will not desert to his foes;
That soul — though all hell should en-

I'll never — no never — no never forsake 1"

Though cisterns be broken,

Forbids me to think
He'll leave me at last
In trouble to sink:
Each sweet Ebenezer

Confirms his good pleasure
To help me quite through,

The bitter is sweet.

Though painful at present,

" The Lord will provide."
Though troubles assail,
And dangers affright.
Though friends should all fail.
And foes all unite:
Yet one thing secures us.
Whatever betide,
The Scripture assures us
The Lord will provide.
The birds without barn
Or storehouse are fed.
From them let us learn
To trust for our bread:
His saints, what is fitting,
Shall ne'er be denied,'
So long as 't is written.
The Lord will provide.
We may, like the ships,
By tempests be tossed
On perilous deeps,
But cannot be lost:
Though Satan enrages
The wind and the tide,
The promise engages
The Lord will provide.
His call we obey.
Like Abra'm of old,
Not knowing our way,
But faith makes us bold:
For though we are strangers.
We have a good guide,
And trust, in all dangers,
The Lord will provide.

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

He loved me ere I knew him;

And thus he bound me to him.
And round my heart still closely twine
Those ties which naught can sever,
For I am his, and he is mine.
For ever and for ever.
I've found a friend; oh, such a friend!
He bled, he died to save me;
And not alone the gift of life.
But his own self he gave me.
Naught that I have my own I call,
I hold it for the Gi^rer:
My heart, my strength, my hfe, my all,
Are his, and his tor ever.
I've found a friend; oh, such a friend I
All power to him is given.
To guard me on my onward course,
And bring me safe to heaven.
The eternal glories gleam afar,
To nerve my faint endeavor:
So now to watch, to work, to war,
And then to rest for ever!

Have we beheld the Lord;
Yet we rejoice to hear his name;
And love him in his word.
2 On earth we want the sight
Of our Redeemer's face;
Yet, Lord, our inmost thoughts delight
To dwell upon thy grace.
3 And when we taste thy love,
Our joys divinely grow
T7nspeakable, like those above,
And heaven begins below.

XO " yesus, my strength."
Jesus, my strength, my hope,
On thee I cast my care,
With humble confidence look up,
And know thou hear'st my prayer.
2 Give me on thee to Avait,
Till I can all things do;
On thee, almighty to create,
Almighty to renew.
3 I want a sober mind,
A self-renouncing will.
That tramples down, and casts behind
The lures of pleasing ill ; —
4 A soul inured to pain.
To hardship, grief and loss,
Bold to take up, firm to sustain
The consecrated cross; —
308
5 I want a godly fear,
A quick-discerning eye,
That looks to thee when sin is near,
And sees the tempter fly; —
6 A spirit still prepared.
And armed with jealous care,
For ever standing on its guard,
And watching unto prayer.

Dear Lord and Master mine!
Thy happy servant see;
My Conqueror! with what joy divine
Thy captive clings to thee!
2 I would not walk alone,
But still with thee, my God,
At every step my blindness own.
And ask of thee the road.
3 The weakness I enjoy
That casts me on thy breast:
The conflicts that thy strength employ
Make me divinely blest.
4 Dear Lord and Master mine!
Still keep thy servant true;
My Guardian and my Guide divine?
Bring, bring thy pilgrim through.
5 My Conqueror and my King!
Still keep me in thy train;
And with thee thy glad captive bring
When thou return'st to reiffn.

Since Jesus is my friend,
And I to him belong,
It matters not what foes intend,
However fierce and strong.
2 He whispers in my breast
Sweet words of holy cheer,
How they Avho seek in God their rest
Shall ever find him near; —
3 How God hath built above
A city fair and new,
Where eye and heart shall see and prove
AVhat faith has counted true.
4 My heart for gladness springs;
It cannot more be sad;
For very joy it smiles and sings, —
Sees naught but sunshine glad.
5 The sun that lights mine eyes
Is Christ, the Lord I love;
I sing for joy of that which lies
Stored up for me above.
O O T WATTS.
%J£i X. " iVkotH have I but thee?"
My God, my Life, my Love,
To thee, to thee I call;
I cannot live, if thou remove.
For thou art all in all.
2 To thee, and thee alone.
The angels owe their bliss:
They sit around thy gracious throne,
And dwell where Jesus is.
3 Not all the harps above
Can make a heavenly place,
If God his residence remove,
Or but conceal his face.
4 Nor earth, nor all the sky,
Can one delight afford —
No, not a drop of real joy
Without thy presence, Lord.
5 Thou art the sea of love.
Where all my pleasures roll ;
The circle Avhere my passions move,
And centre of my soul.
To live is Christ."
For me to Hve is Christ,
To die is endless gain,
For him I gladly bear the cross,
And welcome grief and pain.
2 Faithful may I endure,
And hear ray Saviour say.
Thrice welcome home, beloved child.
Inherit endless day!
3 A pilgrimage my lot,
My home is in the skies,
I nightly pitch my tent below,
And daily higher rise.
4 My journey soon will end,
My scrip and staff" laid down;
Oh, tempt me not with earthly toys,
I 2:0 to wear a crown.

O^^ " Closer than a brother."
One there is, above all others,
Well deserves the name of Friend;
His is love beyond a brother's,
Costly, free, and knows no end.
2 Which of all our fi-iends, 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 abased.
Friend of sinners was his name;
Now above all glory raised,
He rejoices in the same.
4 Oh, for grace our hearts to soften,
Teach us, Lord, at Lnigth, to love;
We, alas! forget too often
What a friend we have above.

Cold and sullen o'er me roll;

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.

Joy of heaven, to earth come down I
Fix in lis thy hnmble dwelling,
All thy faithful mercies crown:
Jesus! thou art all compassion.
Pure, unbounded love thou art;
Visit us with thy salvation.
Enter every trembling heart.
Breatne, oh, breathe thy loving Spirit
Into every troubled breast!
Let us all in thee inherit,
Let us finl thy promised rest:
Come,-almiu:hty to deliver.
Let us all thy life receive!
Speedily return, and never,
Never more thy temples leave!
Finish then thy new creation,
Pure, unspotted may we be:
Let us see our whole salvation
Perfectly secured by thee!

Till in heaven we take our place;
Till we cast our crowns before thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Tossed upon life's raging billow,
Sweet it is, O Lord! to know
Thou didst press a sailor's pillow,
And canst feel a sailor's woe;
Xever slumbering, never sleeping,
Though tlie night be dark and drear,
Thou the faithful watch art keeping;
"All, all's well," thy constant cheer.
2 And though loud the wind is howling,
Fierce though flash the lightnings red.
Darkly though the storm-cloud's scowling
O'er the sailor's anxious head; —
Thou canst calm the raging ocean,
All its noise and tumult still,
Hush the tempest's wild commotion,
At the bidding of thy will.
3 Thus my heart the hope will cherish,
While to thee I lift mine eye,
Thou wilt save me ere I perish.
Thou wilt hear the sailor's cry:
And though mast and sail be riven.
Soon life's voyage will be o'er;
Safely moored in heaven's wide haven.
Storm and tempest vex no more.

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, Avith boldness
I came
To drink at the fountain, so copious and
free :
Jehovah, my Saviour, is all things to mo.
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!

" Lookins; U7ito Jesus." — Heb. 12: 2.
0 EYES that are weary, and hearts that

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 cannot
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.

Strength to my fainting heart;

And griefs around me spread,

Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From thee aside.

When death's cold, sullen stream

Quickly relief hath sent.

Oh, let your mingling voices rise
In grateful rapture to the skies,
And hail a Saviour's birth;
Let songs of joy the day proclaim,
When Jesus all-triumphant came
To bless the sons of earth.
He came to bid the weary rest;
To heal the sinners wounded breast;
To bind the broken heart';
To spread the light of truth around;
And to the world's remotest bound,
The heavenly gift impart.
He came our trembling souls to save,
From sin, from sorrow, and the graven
And chase our fears away;
Victorious over death and time,
To lead us to a happier clime.
Where reigns eternal day.

From life's first dawning till its close.
2 If Satan tempt our hearts to stray,
And whisper evil things within,
So did he in the desert way.
Assail our Lord with thoughts of sin
When worn, and in a feeble hour,
The tempter came with all his power.
Just such as I, this earth he trod,
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.
Q^ r» E. MOTE.
lO^O The Solid Rock.
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness ;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name :
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
2 When darkness seems to vail his face,
I rest on his unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale.
My anchor holds within the vail:
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
3 His oath, his covenant, and blood,
I Support me in the whelming flood:
When all around my soul gives wav,
I He then is all my hope and stay:
t On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;
j All other ground is sinking sand.

My God, bow 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.

OOy Faith.— Ps. 23:4.
By 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 Tho' snares and dangers throng my path.
And earth and hell my course withstand,
I triumph over all by faith,
Guarded by his almighty hand,
o 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 AYith him sweet converse I maintain;
Great as he is, I dare be free;
T tell him all my grief and pain,
And he reveals his love to me.

0 Lord, how full of sweet content
Our years of pilgrimage are spent!
AVhere'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 findino- God in all.

Meekness. — Matt. 5 : 5.
Happy the meek whose gentle breast,
Clear as the summer's evening ray,
Calm as the regions of the blest.
Enjoys on earth celestial day.
His heart no broken friendships sting,
No storms his peaceful tent invade;
He rests beneath the Almighty's wing,
Hostile to none, of none afraid.
Spirit of grace, all meek and mild!
Inspire our breasts, our souls possess:
Repel each passion rude and wild,
And bless us as we aim to bless.

She makes the pearly gates appear;

As more of heaven in each we see ;

Where love inspires the breast:
Love is the brightest of the train,
And strengthens all the rest.

And all in vain our fear;
Our stubborn sins will fight and reign,
If love be absent there.
This is the grace that lives and sings.
When faith and hope shall cease;
'Tis this shall strike our joyful strings,
In the sweet realms of bliss.
Before we quite forsake our clay,
Or leave this dark abode,
The wings of love bear us awav,
To see our smilino; God.

Rejoice in God alway;
When earth looks heavenly bright.
When joy makes glad the livelong day,
And peace shuts in the night.

The fainting soul oppress;
When tears at wakeful midnight flow,
And morn brings heaviness.
3 Rejoice in hope and fear;
Rejoice in life and death;
Rejoice when threatening storms are near,
And comfort languisheth.
4 When should not they rejoice,
Whom Christ his brethren calls;
Who hear and know his guiding voice,
When on their hearts it falls?
5 So, though our path is steep,
And many a tempest lowers,
Shall his own peace our spirits keep.
And Christ's dear love be ours.

And me he loveth still.
5 'Tis he who saveth me,

Where streams of living pleasures flow;
And longing hopes and cheerful smiles
Sit undisturbed upon their brow!

Who shall the Lord's elect condemn?
'Tis God who justifies their souls;
And mercy, like a mighty stream.
O'er all their sins divinely rolls.
Who shall adjudge the saints to hell?
'Tis Christ who suffered in their stead;
•Vnd their salvation to fulfill
Behold him risino: from the dead!
The eternal isles established be,
'Gainst which the surges of the main
Fret, dash, and break themselves in vain ;- —
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 ;- -
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.

When I can read my title clear
To mansions in the skieSj

And wipe my weeping eyes.
2 Should earth against my soul engage,
And fiery darts be hurled,
Then I can smile at Satan's rage,
And face a frowning world

And storms of sorrow fall;

In seas of heavenly rest;

Thou very present Aid
In suffering and distress,
The mind which still on thee is stayed,
Is kept in perfect peace.
2 The soul by faith reclined
On the Redeemer's breast,
'Mid raging storms, exults to find
An everlasting rest.
3 Sorrow and fear are gone,
Whene'er thy face appears;
It stills the sighing orphan's moan,
And dries the widow's tears.
4 It hallows every cross;
It sweetly comforts me;
Makes me forget my every loss,
And find my all in thee.
5 Jesus, to whom I fly,
Doth all my wishes fill;
What though created streams are dry?
I have the fountain still.
6 Stripped of each earthly Mend,
I find them all in one,
And peace and joy which never end,
And heaven, in Christ, begun.

His love is still the same.

And all the earth shall hear.

To save rebellious man;
And all the steps that grace display,
Which drew the wondrous plan.

Till I have strength and faith to say,
Thou, God, my Father art!

Or on the mount with God.

'Tis well when sorrows flow,
'Tis well when darkness vails the skiee.
And strong temptations grow.

"From earth and sin arise.
To join the hosts of ransomed souls,
Made to salvation wise!"

Consent a servant's form to bear
That I a kingly crown might wear?
Is his deep loss my boundless gain.
And comes my victory from his pain?

That wounded him and rescued me!

Instruct repentance how to weep;
He poured for me the vital flood;
My tears shall mingle with his blood.

To them thy promises are sure:

One cup of healing oil and wine.
One offering laid on mercy's shrine,
Is thrice more grateful, Lord, to thee,
Than lifted eye or bended knee.
2 In true and inward faith we trace
The source of every outward grace;
Within the pious heart it plays,
A living fount of joy and praise.
3 Kind deeds of peace and love betray
Where'er the stream has found its way;
But, where these spring not rich and fair,
The stream has never wandered there.

What were his Avorks from day to day,
But miracles of power and grace.

Thy pattern, and thy steps pursue ;
Let alms bestow^ed, let kindness done,
Be witnessed by each rolling sun.
3 That man may last, but never lives.
Who much receives, but nothing gives;
Whom none can love, whom none can
thank.
Creation's blot, creation's blank!
4 But he who marks, from day to day,
In generous acts his radiant way,
Treads the same path his Saviour trod,
The path to glory and to God.

Go, labor on, while it is day;
The world's dark night is hastening on ;
Speed, speed thy work, — cast sloth away !
It is not thus that souls are Avon.
Men die in darkness at your side,
Without a hope to cheer the tomb:
Take up the torch and wave it Avide —
The torch that lights time's thickest
gloom.
Toil on, — faint not ; keep watch and pray !
Be wise the erring soul to win ;
Go forth into the world's highway;
Compel the wanderer to come in.
Go, labor on; your hands are weak;
Your kneesare faint,yoursoulcastdown ;
Yet falter not; the prize you seek

Around the majesty of heaven?

2 Go, imitate the grace divine —
The grace that blazes like a sun;
Hold forth your fair, though feeble light,
Through all your lives let mercy run.
3 When all is done, renounce your deeds,
Renounce self-righteousness with scorn:
Thus will you glorify your God,
And thus the Christian name adorn.

Sweet to look inward, and attend
The whispers of his love;
Sweet to look upward to the place
AVhere Jesus pleads above; —
Sweet on his faithfulness to rest,
Whose love can never end;
Sweet on his covenant of grace
For all things to depend; —
Sweet, in the confidence of faith,
To trust his firm decrees;
Sweet to lie passive in his hands,
And know no will but his.
If such the sweetness of the streams,
What must the fountain be.
Where saints and angels draw their bli:
Immediatelv from thee!
3 May I remember that to thee
Whate'er I have I owe;
And back, in gratitude, from
Mav all thv bounties flow.
And though thy wisdom takes away,
Shall I arraign thy will?
Xo, let me bless thy name, and say,
"The Lord is gracious still."
A pilgrim through the earth I roam,
Of nothing long possessed;
And all must fail when I go home,
For this is not mv rest.

If, when deceived and wounded here,
We could not fly to thee!

And ev'n the hope that threw
A moment's sparkle o'er our tears,
Is dimmed and vanished too; —
3 Oh, who would bear life's stormy doom,
Did not thy wing of love
Come, brightly wafting through the gloom
Our peace-branch from above?
4 Then sorrow touched by thee grows bright,
With more than rapture's ray;
As darkness shows us worlds of light
We never saw by day,

My times of sorrow and of joy,
Great God! are in thy hand;
My choicest comforts come from thee,
And go at thy conmiand.
2 If thou shouldst take them all away,
Yet would I not repine;
Before they were possessed by me,

Though the whole world were gone,
But seek enduring happiness,

When musing sorrow weeps the past,
And mourns the present pain ;
How sweet to think of peace at last,
And feel that death is gain!
2 Tis not that murmuring thoughts arise,
And dread a Father's will;
'Tis not that meek submission flies,
And would not suffer still.
3 It is that heaven-born faith surveys
The path that leads to light,
And longs her eagle plumes to raise.
And lose herself in sight.
4 Oh, let me wing my hallowed flight
From earth-born woe and care.
And soar above these clouds of night,
My Saviour's bliss to share.

And storms my path invade.
Those accents tranquilize each fear, —

Saviour, be near to aid!
Whisper, when my frail ])ark is tossed, —

If, throug-h unruffled seas,
Toward heaven we calmly sail.
With grateful hearts, 0 God, to thee
We'll own the favoring gale.
But should the surges rise,
And rest delay to coine,
Blest be the sorrow — kind the storm,

All yield to thy control:

To live by faith alone.

At evening time let there be light;
Life's little day draws near its close
Around me fall the shades of night,
The night of death, the grave's repose ; 2
To crown my joys, to end my woes,
At evening time let there be light.
2 At evening time let there be light;
Stormy and dark hath been my day;
Yet rose the morn divinely bright; j
Dews, birds, and blossoms cheered the
way ; ^
Oh, for one sweet, one parting ray!
At evening time let there be light.
3 At evening time there shall be light!
For God hath spoken; it must be;
Fear, doubt, and anguish take their flight ;|
His glory now is risen on me;
Mine eyes shall his salvation see;
Tis evening time, and there is light!

When gathering clouds around I view,
And days are dark, and friends are few
On him I lean, who, not in vain,
Experienced every human pain;
He sees my wants, allays my fears.
And counts and treasures up my tears.
If aught should tempt my soul to stray
From heavenly virtue's narrow way, —
To fly the good I would pursue.
Or do the sin I would not do, —
Still he, who felt temptation's power,
Shall guard me in that dangerous hour.
"When sorrowing o'er some stone, I bend,
Which covers all that Avas a friend.
And from his voice, his hand, his smile.
Divides me, for a little while,
^ry Saviour sees the tears I shed.
For Jesus wept o'er Lazarus dead.
And oh, when I have safelv passed
Through every conflict, but the last, —
Still, still unchanging, watch beside
My painful bed, — for thou hast died;
Then point to realms of cloudless day,
And wipe mv latest tear awav.

Of Jesus, our exalted Head;
Come as a servant: so he came,
And we receive thee in his stead.

This fold from hell, and earth, and sin;
Nourish the lambs, and feed the sheep,
The wounded heal, the lost bring in. ,

Charged his whole counsel to declare;
Lift o'er our ranks the prophet's rod.

For Dedication.
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.^

Clothe thou with energy divine
Their words, and let those words be thine ;
Teach them immortal souls to gain,
Xor let them labor. Lord in vain.
Let thronging multitudes around
Hear from their lips the joyful sound;
And light throughdistant realms be spread.
Till Zion rears her drooping head.

The Church's one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord;
She is his new creation
By water and the word:
From heaven he came and sought her
To be his holy bride;
With his own blood he bought her,
And for her life he died.
2 Elect from every nation,
Yet one o'er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation
One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy name she blesses.
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses.
With every grace endued.
3 Though with a scornful wonder,
Men see her sore oppressed,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distressed.
Yet saints their watch are keeping,
Their cry goes up, "How long?"
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song.
Yet she on earth hath union
With God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won;
With all her sons and daughters,
Who by the Masters hand
Led through the deathly waters,
Repose in Eden-land.
Oh, happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we,
Like them, the meek and lowly.
On high may dwell with thee:
There past the border mountains.
Where in sweet vales the bride,
With thee by living fountains,
For ever shall abide.
'Mid toil and tribulation
And tumult of her war.
She waits the consummation
Of peace for evermore;
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious.
Shall be the Church at rest.

Let saints below in concert sing
With those to glory gone;
For all the servants ol our King
III earth and heaven are one.
2 One family — we dwell in him —
One church above, beneath,
Though now divided by the stream.
The narrow stream of death ; —
3 One army of the living God, '
To his command we bow;
Part of the host have crossed the flood.
And part are crossing now.
376
4 Ev'n now to their eternal home
Some happy spirits fly;
And we are to the margin come,
And soon expect to die.
5 Ev'n now, by faith, we join our hands
With those that went before.
And greet the ransomed, blessed bands
Upon the eternal shore.
6 Lord Jesus! be our constant guide:
And, when the word is given,
Bid death's cold flood its waves divide,
And land us safe in heaven.

We yield to thee, 0 Lord!

One inward life partake;
One be our heart, one heavenly hope
In every bosom wake.
3 In prayer, in effort, tears, and toils,
One wisdom be our guide;
Taught by one Spirit from above,
In thee may we abide.

Our joyful spirits shine,
Shall anthems of immortal praise,

Not to the terrors of the Lord,

Not to the thunder of that word
Which God on Sinai spoke; —
2 But we are come to Zion's hill,
The city of our God;
Where milder words declare his will,
And speak his love abroad.
3 Behold the innumerable host
Of angels clothed in light;
Behold the spirits of the just,
Whose faith is turned to siffht!
4 Behold the blest assembly there.
Whose names are writ in heaven!
And God, the Judge of all, declare
Their vilest sins forgiven.
5 The saints on earth, and all the dead
But one communion make;
All join in Christ, their living Head,
And of his grace partake.

My weary soul would rest:
The man that dwells where Jesus is,
Must be for ever blest.

Whom one communion blends,
Council to hold in converse sweet.
And talk as Christian friends.
2 T is joy to think the angel train.
Who 'mid heaven's temple shine,
To seek our earthly temples deign,
And in our anthems join.
3 But chief 'tis joy to think that he
To whom his church is dear.
Delights her gathered flock to see,
Her joint devotions hear.
4 Then who would choose to walk abroad.
While here such joys are given ;
"This is indeed the house of God,
And this the gate of heaven!"

Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love :
The fellowship of kindred minds

2 Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and om* cares.
3 We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
4 When we asunder part.
It gives us inward pain ;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.
5 This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way;
While each in expectation lives,
And longs to see the day.

And sin, we shall be free,
And perfect love and friendship reign
Throudi all eternitv.

That we may meet in heaven.

But oh, thyself reveal!

Let them find a resting-place.

Come, thou Fount of every blessinir,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise;
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise the mount — I'm fixed upon it!—
Mount of thy redeeming love.
2 Here I'll raise mine Eben-ezer;
Hither by thy help I'm come;
And I hope, by thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed his predous blood.
3 Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter.
Bind my Avandering heart to thee;
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it;
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart; oh, take and seal it;
Seal it for thy courts above.

Hail, thou once despised Jesus!
Crowned in mockery a king!
BAKEWELL.
Thou didst suffer to release us;
Thou didst free salvation bring.
Hail, thou agonizing Saviour,
Bearer of our sin and shame!
By thy merits we find favor;
Life is given through thy name.
Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
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.
Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory!
There for ever to abide;
All the heavenly hosts adore thee.
Seated at thy Father's side:
There for sinners thou art pleading;
There thou dost our place prepare,
Ever for us interceding,
Till in glory Ave appear.
Worship, honor, power and blessing.
Thou art worthy to receive;
Loudest praises without ceasing.
Meet it is for us to give;
Help, ye bright angelic spirits.
Bring your sweetest, noblest lays;
Help to sing our Saviour's merits,
Help to chant Immauuel's praise!

With joy shall I lift up my head.

Which, at the mercy-seat of God,
For ever doth for sinners plead, —
For me, ev'n for my soul, was shed.
3 Rold shall I stand in thy great day,
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully absolved through these I am,
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
4 When from the dust of death I rise
To claim my mansion in the skies —
Ev'n then, this shall be all my plea:
Jesus hath lived, hath died for me.
5 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.

J low sweet and awful is the place,
AVith Christ within the doors,
While everlasting love displays
The choicest of her stores.
2 While all our hearts, and all our songs,
Join to admire the feast.
Each of us cries, with thankful tongue, —
"Lord, why was I a guest?-'
3 '"Why was I made to hear thy voice,
And enter while there's room,
When thousands make a wretched choice
And rather starve than come ? "
4 T was the same love that spread the feast
That sweetly drew us in;
Else we had still refused to taste,
And perished in our sin.
5 Pity the nations, O our God!
Constrain the earth to come;
Send thy victorious word abroad,
And bring the strangers home.
1 005 ''Prepare its Lord."— 2 Chron. 30: 18. j
Prepare us, Lord, to view thy cross.
Who all our griefs hast borne;
To look on thee, whom we have pierced —
To look on thee and mourn.
2 While thus we mourn, we would rejoice ;
And, as thy cross we see, i
Let each exclaim, in faith and hope, |
"The Saviour died for me I"

Not worthy , Lord ! to gather up the crumbs
With treml)ling hand that from thv
table fall,
394
A weary, heavy-laden sinner comes
To plead thy promise and obey thy call.
I am not worthy to be thought thy child,
Nor sit the last and lowest at thy board ;
Too long a wanderer and too oft beguiled,
I only ask one reconciling word.
One word from thee, my Lord! one smile,
one look,
And I could face the cold, rough world
again.
And with that treasure in my heart could
brook
The wrath of devils and the scorn of men.
And is not mercy thy prerogative —
Free mercy, boundless,fathomless,divine?
Me, Lord! the chief of sinners, me forgive,
And thine the greater glory, only thine.
I hear thy voice; thou bid'st me come and
rest ;
I come, I kneel, I clasp thy pierced feet;
Thou bid'st me take my place, a welcome
guest,
Among thysaints,and of thy banquet eat.
My praise can only breathe itself in prayer,
My prayer can only lose itself in thee;
Dwell thou for ever in my heart, and there.
Lord! let me sup with thee; sup thou
with me.

Wash tne."—Ps. 51 : 2.
Jesus, who on Calvary's mountain
Poured thy precious blood for me,
Wash me in its flowing fountain,
That my soul may spotless be.
2 I have sinned, but oh, restore me I
For unless thou smile on me,
Dark is all the world before me,
Darker yet eternity.
3 In thy word I hear thee saying,
Come and I will give you rest;
Now the gracious call obeying,
See, I hasten to thy breast.
4 Grant, oh, grant thy Spirit's teaching,
That I may not go astray.
Till the gate of heaven reaching.

He ez'er livethr—Heb. 7: 25.
Christ, above all glory seated!
King eternal, strong to save!
To thee, Death, by death defeated,
Triumph high and glory gave.
Tliou art gone, where now is given,
What no mortal might could gain;
On the eternal throne of heaven,
In thy Father's power to reign.
There thy kingdoms all adore thee,
Heaven above and earth below.
While the depths of hell before thee,
Trembling and defeated bow.
We, O Lord! with hearts adoring,
Follow thee above the sky:
Hear our prayers thy grace imploring,
Lift our souls to thee on high.
So when thou again in glory
On the clouds of heaven shalt shine,
We thy flock shall stand before thee,
Owned for evermore as thine.
^ ■*■ ^«J Glorying in the Cross
Cross, reproach, and tribulation!
Ye to rae are welcome guests,
When I have this consolation,
That my soul in Jesus rests.
2 The reproach of Christ is glorious!
Those who here his burden bear.
In the end shall prove victorious,
And eternal gladness share.

3 Bonds and stripes, and evil story,
Are our honorable crowns;
Pain is peace, and shame is glory,
Gloomy dungeons are as thrones.

Ye who live a life of faith!
Lift triumphant songs and praises
Ev'n in martyrdom and death.

Holy Father, thou hast taught me
I should live to thee alone;
Year by year thy hand hath brought me
On through dangers oft unknown.
2 When I wandered, thou hast found me;
When I doubted, sent me light,
Still thine arm has been around me.
All my paths were in thy sight.
3 Therefore, Lord, I come, believing
Thou canst give the power I need;
Through the prayer of faith receiving
Strength — the Spirit's strength, indeed.
4 I would trust in thy protection,
Wholly rest upon thine arm;
Follow wholly thy direction.
Thou, mine only guard from harm!
j5 Keep me from mine own undoing,
I Help me turn to thee when tried,
I Still my footsteps. Father, viewing,
I Keep me ever at thy side!

Hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
Never shall the cross forsake me:

While the multitude go by;
You can chant in happy measure,
As they slowly pass along;

They will not forget the song.

Ever ready to command;
If you cannot toward the needy
Reach an ever open hand,
You can visit the aflflicted,
O'er the erring you can weep;
You can be a true disciple
Sitting at the Saviour's feet.
If you cannot in the harvest
Garner up the richest sheaf,
Many a grain both ripe and golden
Will the careless reapers leave;
Go and glean among the briers,
Growing rank against the wall,

Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad
morning 1
Joy to the lands that in darkness have
lain!
Hushed be the accents of sorrow and
mourning;
Zion in triumph begins her mild reign.
2 Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad
morning,
Long by the prophets of Israel foretold ;
Hail to the millions from bondage return-
ing;
GentilesandJewstheblestvisionbehold.
3 Lo ! in the desert rich flowers are springing,
Streams ever copious are gliding along;
Loud from the mountain-tops echoes are
ringing,
Wastes rise in verdure, and mingle in
song.
4 See, from all lands — from the isles of the
ocean.
Praise to Jehovah ascending on high ;
Fallen are the engines of war and commo-
tion.
Shouts of salvation are rending the sky.

X X U 1 "Days of thy mourning." —Isa. 60: 20.
Wake thee, 0 Zion, thy mourning is ended,
God, thine own God, hath regarded thy
prayer:
424
Wake thee, and hail him, in glory de-
scended,
Thy darkness to scatter, thy wastes to
repair.
2 Wake thee, 0 Zion, his Spirit of power
To newness of life is awaking the dead;
Array thee in beauty, and greet the glad
hour
That brings thee salvation through Jesus
who bled.
3 Saviour! we gladly with voices resounding,
Loud as the thunder, our chorus would
swell ;
Till from rock, wood, and mountain its
echoes rebounding.
To all the wide world of salvation shall
tell!

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

Heathen tribes his name adore;
Satan and his host, o'erthrown,
Bound in chains, shall hurt no more.
3 Then shall wars and tumults cease,
Then be banished grief and pain;
Righteousness and joy and peace
Undisturbed shall ever reign.
4 Bless we, then, our gracious Lord;
Ever praise his glorious name;
All his mighty acts record;
All his wondrous love proclaim.

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

Why should we start, and fear to die?
What timorous -svorms we mortals are!
Death is the gate of endless joy,
And yet we dread to enter there.
2 The pains, the groans, the dying strife
Fright our approaching souls away;
We still shrink back again to life,
Fond of our prison and our clay.
3 Oh, if my Lord would come and meet,
My soul should stretch her wings in haste,
Fly fearless through death's iron gate,
Kor feel the terrors as she passed.
4 Jesus can make a dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are,
While on his breast I lean my head,
And breathe my life out sweetly there!
1 I 7 2 "He shall enter into peace."
Gently, my Saviour, let me down,
To slumber in the arms of death;
I rest my soul on thee alone,
Ev'n till my last, expiring breath.
2 Soon will the storm of life be o'er,
And I shall enter endless rest;
There I shall live to sin no more,
i^ nd bless thy name, for ever blest.
3 Bid me possess sweet peace within;
Let child-like patience keep my heart ;
Then shall I feel my heaven begin,
Before mv spirit hence depart.

4 Oh, speed thy chariot, God of love!
And take me from this world of woe;
I long to reach those joys above,
And bid farewell to all below.

Still louder notes than angels sing, —
High glories to Immanuel's grace.
My God, my Saviour, and my King!

How mildly beam the closing eyes!
How gently heaves the expiring breast I
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;
Nothing disturbs that peace profound,
AVhich his unfettered soul enjoys.
4 Farewell, conflicting hopes and fears!
Where lights and shades alternate dwell ;
How bright the unchanging morn appears !
Farewell, inconstant world! farewell!

Light from its load the spirit flies;
While heaven and earth combine to say, — .

Why do we mourn departing friends,
Or shake at death's alarms?
Tis but the voice that Jesus sends,
To call them to his arms.
2 Are we not tending upward, too,
As fast as time can move ?
Nor would we wish the hours more slow,
To keep us from our love.
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.
6 Then let the last loud trumpet sound,
And bid our kindred rise;
Awake! ye nations under ground;
Ye saints! ascend the skies.
I I 78 " To die is gain."— Phil. 1 : 21.
Why should our tears in sorrow flow,
When God recalls his own;
And bids them leave a world of woe
For an immortal crown?
430
2 Is not ev'n death a gain to those
Whose life to God was given?
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!"

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 great.
Partake the same repose;
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.

Thro' 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.
These ashes, too, this little dust,
Our Father's care shall keep.
Till the last angel rise and break
The long and dreary sleep.
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.

•* ^O^ Resurrection sure. — 2 Cor.
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.

A day's march nearer home.
3 My Father's house on high,
Home of my soul I bow near,
At times, to faith's aspiring eye.
Thy golden gates appeal*!
4 "For ever with the Lord!"
Father, if 'tis thy will,
The promise of thy gracious word
Ev'u 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!''

To vast eternity!

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

Our souls to thee commend.

Till with them, in the land of hght,
We dwell before thy face.

One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er, —
Nearer my home, to-day, am I
Then e'er I Ve been before.
2 Nearer my Father's house,
Where many mansions l3e;
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.

And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more: —
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: —
Then, 0 my Lord, prepare
My soul for that blest day;
Oh, wash me in thy precious blood.

And breaks the turf-sealed ground,

Awake! come forth and sing!

But bright shall be your spring.

Wilt thou not judge thy suffering church

And as they left us one by one,
We laid them side by side.

To see thee face to face,

Who counted Christ their great reward,
And yearned for him to die.

To suffer and to do.

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 2
Scarce whispers from the tree:
So gently flows the parting breath,
When good men cease to be.
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.
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.

Beneath our feet and o'er our head
Is equal warning given ;
Beneath us lie 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!
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?
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!

Nor stay in all their course;

Both speed them to their source;
So a soul, that's born of God,
Pants to view his glorious face,
Upward tends to his abode,
To rest in his embrace.

Heaves that little bosom more.

Clothed in robes of spotless white,
Now it dwells with thee in light.

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

Prepare, my soul, to meet him.
2 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 fears,
Behold his wrath prevailing;
For they shall rise, and find their tears
And sighs are unavailing:
The day of grace is past and gone;
Trembling they stand before the throne,
All unprepared to meet him.
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.

My last sad journey taken,
Do thou, Lord Jesus! by me stand-,
Let me not be forsaken;
0 Lord! my spirit I resign
Into thy loving hands divine;
'Tis safe within thy keeping.
2 Countless as sands upon the shore,
My sins may then appall me;
Yet, though my conscience vex me sore,
Despair shall not enthrall me;
For as I draw my latest breath,
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,
1 '11 come to thee, where'er thou art,
Live with thee, from thee never part;
Therefore I die in rapture. .
4 And so to Jesus Christ I'll go,
My longing arms extending;
So fall asleep, in slumber deep.
Slumber that knows no ending;
Till Jesus Christ, God's only Son,
Opens the gates of bliss, leads on
To heaven, to life eternal.

To men the day of final doom —
Their state for ever sealing:
He comes! — the Son of man is here,
Borne on a cloud, see him appear
Arrayed in robes of judgment!
2 He speaks! — the listening skies are still;
All eyes on Jesus centre.
While awe and dread the bosom fill: —
"Come ye your kingdom enter!" —
He says to those who mercy sought:
And then, — to all who prized it not, —
"Depart from me, ye cursed!"
The blissful saints ascend on high,
Clothed with the light of heaven;
Their Saviour leads them thro' the sky; —
What burst of joy is given!
For now they see, with raptured eyes,
That faith and love receive the prize.
Through grace rich, free, abounding.
And see! — they take the mansions bright,
Where God prepared their dwelling;
Like angels now; — and, to their sight.
Their jo3's are onward swelling;
They knew in part, — now, all is clear;
Nor doubt, nor sorrow enters hero,
To break their bliss unceasing.

Louder than a thousand thunders,
Shakes the vast creation round:
How the summons
Will the sinner's heart confound!

Then shall say, "This God is mine!'^

Rise to life from earth and sea;
All the powers of nature, shaken
By his looks, prepare to flee:

Loved and served the Lord below,

See the kingdom I bestow;

Let my throne adorn the skies.
"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:

And his righteousness declare:

But his saints his mercies share:

And thou hast there a place for me I
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 I
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!

^O^ " A'^ w^r^ death."— Rev. 21 : 3, 4.
Tpiere is an hour of peaceful rest,
To mourning wanderers given;
There is a joy for souls distressed,
A balm for every Avounded breast:
'Tis found above — in heaven.
2 There is a home for weary souls,
By sin and sorrow driven, —
When tossed on life's tempestuous shoals,
Where storms arise, and ocean rolls,
And all is drear — but heaven.
3 There faith lifts up her cheerful eye
To brighter prospects given;
And views the tempest passing by
The evening shadows quickly fly,
And all serene — in heaven.
4 There fragrant flowers immortal bloom,
And joys supreme are given;
There rays divine disperse the gloom;
Beyond the confines of the tomb
Appears the dawn of heaven!

CrivE me the wings of faith, to rise
Within the vail, and see
The saints above, how great their joys,
How bright their glories be.
2 I ask them — whence their victory came?
They, with united breath,
Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb,—
Their triumph to his death.

3 They marked the footsteps he had trod;
His zeal inspired their breast;
And following their incarnate God,
Possess the promised rest.

For his own pattern given, —

Show the same path to heaven.

Father! I long, I faint, to see
The place of thine abode;
I'd leave thine earthly courts, and flee
Up to thy seat, my God!
2 Here I behold thy distant face.
And 't is a pleasing sight ;
But, to abide in thine embrace
Is infinite delight!
3 I'd part with all the joys of sense,
To gaze upon thy throne;
Pleasure springs fresh for ever thence,
Unspeakable, unknown.

In shining ranks they move;
And drink immortal vigor in.
With wonder and with love.

The moment after death.
The glories that surround a saint
When yielding up his breath.
One gentle sigh the bondage breaks;
We scarce can say — he's gone!
Before the willing spirit takes
Its mansion near the throne.
Thus much, and 'tis enough to know,
Saints are completely blest;
Have done with sin, and care, and woe.
And with their Saviour rest.
On harps of gold they praise his name, "

Oh, let us catch the heavenly flame,
And live in his embrace!

There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
2 There everlasting spring abides,
And never withering flowers;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heavenly land from ours.
3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood
Stand dressed in living green;
So to the Jews old Canaan stood,
"While Jordan rolled between.
4 But timorous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea;
And linger, shivering on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
5 Oh, could we make our doubts remove,
Those gloomy doubts that rise,
And see the Canaan that we love
With unbeclouded eyes: —
C) Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o'er,
Not Jordan'sstream, nor death's cold flood
Should fright us from the shore.

Oh, the music and the singing
Of the host redeemed by love!
Oh, the hallelujahs ringing
Through the halls of light above!
1250 The Consummation. —Rev. 7 :
Jesus, blessed Mediator!

462
Thou the airy path hast trod;
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.
Blessed fold! no foe can enter;
And no friend departeth thence;
Jesus is their sun, their centre,
.And their shield Omnipotence!
Blessed, for tlie Lamb shall feed them,
All their tears shall wipe away,
To the living fountains lead them,
Till fruition's perfect day.
Lo! it comes, that day of wonder!
Louder chorals shake the skies:
Hades' gates are burst asunder;
See! the new-clothed myriads risef
Thought! repress thy weak endeavor;
Here must reason prostrate fall;
Oh, the ineffable Forever!
And the eternal All in All I
HEAVEN.

Z U U "The sea of glass. ' '—Rev. 15:2.
Hark! the sound of holy voices
Chanting at the crystal sea,
Hallelnjah, hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Lord, to thee!
2 Multitudes, which none can number,
Like the stars in glory stand,
Clothed in white apparel, holding
Palms of victory in their hands.
3 They have come from tribulation.
And have washed their robes in blood,
Washed them in the blood of Jesus;
Tried they wei;e and firm they etood.
4 Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented,
Sawn asunder, slain with sword,
They have conquered death and Satan
By the might of Christ the Lord.
5 Now they reign in heavenly glor}",
Now they walk in golden light,
Now they drink, as from a river,
Holy bliss and infinite.
6 Love and peace they taste for ever,
And all truth and knowledge see
In the Beatific Vision
Of the blessed Trinity!

Great Redeemer, Friend of sinners!
Thou hast wondrous power to save;
Grant me grace, and still protect me.
Over life's tempestuous wave.
2 May my soul, with sacred transport,
Yiew the dawn while yet afar;
And, until the sun arises.
Lead me by the Morning Star.
3 See the happy spirits, waiting
On the banks beyond the stream;
Sweet responses still repeating, —
Jesus, Jesus is their theme.
4 Swiftly roll, ye lingering hours.
Seraphs, lend your glittering wings;
Love absorbs my ransomed powers,
Heavenly sounds around me ring!

Of every clime and coast,
Oh, hear ns for our native land,
The land we love the most.
2 Oh, guard our shore from every foe,
With peace our borders bless,
With prosperous times our cities crown,
Our fields with plenteousness.
3 Unite us in the sacred love
Of knowledge, truth, and thee:
And let our hills and valleys shout
The songs of liberty.
4 Here may religion, pure and mild,
Smile on our Sabbath hours;
And piety and virtue bless
The home of us and ours.

Our country we commend;
Be thou her refuge and her trust,
Her everlasting friend.

Since Jesus freely did appear
To grace a marriage feast,
Dear Lord, we ask thy presence here,
To make a wedding guest.

Who now have plighted hands;
Their union with thy favor crown,
And bless the nuptial bands.

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

Thy dreadful poAver display;
Yet mercy spares this guilty land,
And yet we live to pray.
3 Oh, bid us turn, almighty Lord,
By thy resistless grace;
Then shall our hearts obey thy word,
And humbly seek thy face.

We meet and pray for those who roam
Far off upon the sea.
2 Oh, may the Holy Spirit bow
The sailor's heart to thee,
Till tears of deep repentance flow,
Like rain-drops in the sea!
3 Then may a Saviour's dying love
Pour peace into his breast,
And waft him to the port above
Of everlasting rest.

For what the world holds fair;
And all the good we thought to gain,

And snatch away the valued friend.

Thee we adore, eternal Name!
And humbly own to thee
How feeble is our mortal frame.
What dying worms are we!
2 The year rolls round, and steals away
The breath that first it gave;
Whate'er we do, whate'er we be,
We 're traveling to the grave.
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, 0 Lord, our drowsy sense,
To walk this dangerous road!
And if our souls are hurried hence,
May they be found with God.

Awake, ye saints! and raise your eyes,
And raise your voices high:
Awake, and praise that sovereign love,
That shows salvation nigh.
2 On all the wings of time it flies,
Each moment brings it near:
Then welcome each declining day.
Welcome each closing year.
3 Not many years their rounds shall run.
Nor many mornings rise.
Ere all its glories stand revealed
To our admiring eyes.
4 Ye wheels of nature! speed your course;
Ye mortal powers! decay;
Fast as ye bring the night of death.
Ye bring eternal dav.

8 Our life is a dream; our time as a stream
Glides swiftly away,
And the fugitive moment refuses to stay.
4 The arrow is flown, the moment is gone;
* The millennial year
Rushes on to our view, and eternity's here.
5 Oh, that each in the day of his coming
may say,
''I have fought my way through;
I have finished the work thou didst give
me to do."
Oh, that each from his Lord may receive
the glad word,
''Well and faithfully done!
Enter into my joy, and sit down on my
throne."

1 Lord, thou hast been our | dwelUng- | place, || lu | all — | gener- | ations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the | earth" "and
the I world, || Even from everlasting to ever- | lasting, | thou art | God.
3 Thou turnest man | to de -| struction; || And sayest, Re- 1 turn, ye | children- -of | men.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday, | when* 'it is | past, | And
as a I watch — | in the | night.
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are | as a I sleep: || In the morning
they are like | grass which | groweth | up.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and | groweth | up; || In the evening it is cut | down,
and i wither- | eth.
t For we are consumed | by thine | anger, || And by thy | wrath — | are we | troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities | before | thee, || Our secret sins in the | light' "of thy |
counte- I nance.
9 For all our days are passed away | in thy | wrath: || We spend our years as a |
tale — I that is | told.
10 The days of our years are three-score years and ten; and if by reason of strength
they be | four-score | years, || Yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is
soon cut off, I and we | fly a- | way.
11 Who knoweth the power | of thine | anger? || Even according to thy fear, | so — |
is thy I wrath.
12 So teach us to | number* 'our [ days, || That we may apply our | hearts — | unto |
