1 Ye servants of God ! your Master proclaim,
And publish abroad his wonderful name;
The name, all-victorious, of Jesus extol ;
His kingdom is glorious and rules over all.
2 God ruleth on high, almighty to save;
And still he is nigh — his presence we have:
The great congregation his triumph shall
sing.
Ascribing salvation to Jesus, our King.
3 Salvation to God, who sits on the throne !
Let all cry aloud, and honor the Son :
The praises of Jesus the angels proclaim.
Fall down on their faces and worship the
Lamb.
4 Then let us adore, and give him his right,
All glory and power, and wisdona and might,
All honor and blessing, with angels above.
And thanks never ceasing, and infinite love.

1 Before Jehovah's awfnl throne.
Ye nations, bow with sacred joy:
Know that the Lord is God alone;
He can create, and he destroy.
2 His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men ;
And when, like wandering sheep, we strayed,
He brought us to his fold again.
3 We are his people, we his care.
Our souls, and all our mortal frame:
What lasting honors shall we rear,
Almighty Maker! to thy name?
4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs:
High as tlie heavens our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues.
Shall till thy courts with sounding praise.
5 Wide as the world is thy command.
Vast as eternity, thy love;
Firm as a rock thy truth must stand.
When rolling years shall cease to move.
1 Ye nations round the earth, rejoice
Before the Lord, your sovereign King;
Serve him with cheerful heart and voice;
With all your tongues his glory sing.
2 The Lord is God; 'tis he alone
Doth life and breath and lieing give;
We are his work, and not our own ;
The sheep that on his pastures live.
3 Enter his gates with songs of joy ;
With praises to his courts repair:
8
And make it your divine emploj'
To pay your thanks and honors there.
4 The Lord is good, the Lord is kind :
Great is his grace, his mercy sure ;
And the whole race of man shall find
His truth from age to age endure.
1 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 are his flock, he doth us feed,
And for his sheep he doth us take.
3 Oh, enter then his gates with praise.
Approach with joy his courts unto;
Praise, laud and bless his name always,
For it is seemly so to do.
4 Because 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.

1 From all that dwell below the skies.
Let the Creator's praise arise:
Let the Redeemer's name be sung
Through every land, by every tongue.

Eternal truth attends thy word;
Thy praise shall sound from shore to sliore,
Till suns shall set and rise no more.

1 To God, the great, the ever-blessed,
Let songs of honor be addressed ;
His mercy Ann for ever stands;
Give liim the thanks his love demands.
2 Who knows the wonders of thy ways?
Who shall fulfill thy boundless praise?
Blessed are the souls that fear thee still,
And pay their duty to thy will.
3 Remember what thy mercy did
For Jacob's race, thy chosen ^eed;
And, with the same salvation, bless
The meanest suppliant of thy grace.
4 Oh, may I see thy tribes rejoice.
And aid their triumphs with my voice :
This is my glory. Lord, to be
Joined to thy saints, and near to thee.
1 Praise ye the Lord, exalt his name.
While in his earthly courts ye wait.
Ye saints that to his house belong.
Or stand attending at his gate.
2 Praise ye the Lord, the Lord is good ;
To praise his name is sweet employ;
Israel he chose of old, and still
His church is his peculiar joy.
3 The Lord himself will judge his saints;
He treats his servants as his friends ;
And when he hears their sore complaints.
Repents the sorrows that he sends.
4 Through every age the Lord declares
His name, and breaks th' oppressor's rod ;
He gives his sufTering servants rest,
And will be known th' Almighty God.
5 Bless ye the Lord who taste his love;
People and priests, exalt his name;
Among his saints he ever dwells;
His church is his Jerusalem.

1 Abound the Saviour's lofty throne.
Ten thousand times ten thousand sing;
They worship him as God alone.
And crown him— everlasting King.
2 Approach, ye saints! this God is yours;
'Tis Jesus fills the throne above:
Ye cannot want while God endures;
Ye cannot fail while God is love.
3 Jesus, thou everlasting King!
To thee the praise of heaven belongs ;
Yet, smile on us who fain would bring
The tribute of our humble songs.
4 Though sin defile our worship here.
We hope ere long thy face to view ;
And when our souls in heaven appear,
We'll praise thy name as angels do.

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

In the wasteful wilderness :

Looked upon our misery:

To praise thy name, give thanks and sin^
To show thy love by morning light,
And talk of all thy truth at night.

And bless his works and bless his word;
Thy works of grace liow bright they shine!
How deep thy counsels ! how divine !

When grace hath well refined my heart.
And fresh supplies of joy are shed.

And griefs would tear my throbbing breast,
Thy tuneful praises, raised on high.

And all its powers of language fail ;
Joy thro' my swimming eyes shall break.
And mean the thanks I cannot speak.
4 But, oh, when that last conflict's o'er.
And I am chained to flesh no more.
With what glad accents shall I rise
To join the music of the skies.
5 Soon shall I learn th' exalted strains.
Which echo o'er the heavenly plains.
And emulate, with joy unknown,
The glowing seraphs round thy throne.

Call home thy thoughts that rove abroad;
Let all the powers within me join
In work and worship so divine.
2 Bless, O my soul, the God of grace;
His favors claim thy highest praise;
2
Why should the wonders he hath wrought
Be lost in silence, and forgot?
3 'Tis he, my soul, that sent his Son
To die for crimes which thou hast done;
He owns the ransom, and forgives
The hourly follies of our lives.
4 Let the whole earth his power confess,
Let the whole earth adore his grace;
The Gentile with the Jew shall join

Nor let my feet incline to tread
The guilty path where sinners lead.
3 Oh, may the righteous, when I stray,
Smite, and reprove my wandering way;
Their gentle words, like ointment shed,
Shall never bruise, but cheer my head.
4 When I behold them pressed with grief,
I'll cry to heaven for their relief;
And, by my warm petitions, prove
How much I prize their faithful love.

To thee, O Lord, our God, the Lamb !
When all the notes, that angels sing,
Are far inferior to thy name?

The Prince of peace, wlio groaned and died-
Worthy to rise, and live, and reign,
At his almighty Father's side.

Who bore the curse for wretched men :
Let angels sound his sacred name,
And every creature say, — Amen.

Love from his lips divinely flows,
And blessings all his state compose.
3 Thy throne, O God ! for ever stands;
Grace is the sceptre in thy hands;
Thy laws and works are just and right;
Justice and grace are thy delight.

His oil of gladness on thy head;
And, with his sacred .Spirit, blest

Awake, my soul, awake, my tongue;

Proclaim the wise and powerful God ;
And thy rich glories from afar
Sparkle in every rolling star.
4 Grace ! 'tis a sweet, a charming theme.
My thoughts rejoice at Jesus' name;
Ye angels, dwell upon the sound,
Ye heavens, reflect it to the ground.
5 Oh! may I reach that happy place,
Where he unveils his lovely face,
Where all his beauties you behold,
And sing his name to harps of gold.

That bids my sorrows cease;
'Tis music to my ravished ears ;
'Tis life, and health, and peace.

He sets the pris'ner free;
His blood can naake the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.

Shall feel our sins forgiven ;
Anticipate our heaven below.
And own. that love is heaven.

And triumph in thy God;
Awake, my voice, and loud proclaim
His glorious grace abroad.
2 The arms of everlasting love
Beneath my soul he placed.
And on the Rock of ages set
My slippery footsteps fast.
3 The city of my blest abode
Is walled around with grace;
Salvation for a bulwark stands.
To shield the sacred place.
4 Arise, my soul, awake, my voice.
And tunes of pleasure sing;
Loud hallelujahs shall address
My Saviour and my King.
35
1 To our Redeemer's glorious name.
Awake the sacred song!
Oh ! may his love— immortal flame —
Tune every heart and tongue !
2 His love, what mortal thought can reach?
What mortal tongue display?
Imagination's utmost stretch.
In wonder, dies away.
3 Dear Lord! while we adoring pay
Our humble thanks to thee.
May every heart with rapture say,
"The Saviour died for me!"
4 Oh ! may the sweet, the blissful theme.
Fill every heart and tongue.
Till strangers love thy charming name,
And join the sacred song.

1 Come, let us join our cheerful songs,
With angels round the throne;
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.
2 " Worthy the Lamb that died," they cry,
" To be exalted thus !"
" Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply,
" For he was slain for us !"
3 Jesus is worthy to receive
Honor and power divine;
And blessings, more than we can give,
Be, Lord! for ever thine.
4 Let all who dwell above the sky,
And air, and earth, and seas.
Conspire to lift thy glories high.
And speak thine endless praise.
5 The whole creation join in one,
To bless the sacred name
Of him who sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.
37
1 Come, happy souls ! approach your God,
With new melodious songs ;
Come, render to almighty grace
The tribute of your tongues.
2 So strange, so boundless was the love.
That pitied dying men.
The Father sent his equal Son,
To give them life again.
3 Thy hands, dear Jesus ! were not armed
With a revenging rod;
No hard commission to perform
The vengeance of a God.
4 But all was mercy, all was mild.
And wrath forsook the throne.
When Christ, on the kind errand, came,
And brought salvation down.
5 Here, sinners! you may heal your wounds,
And wipe your sorrows dry;
Trust in the mighty Saviour's name,
Vnd you shall never die.
6 See, dearest Lord ! our willing souls
Accept thine offered grace;
We bless the great Redeemer's love.
And give the Father praise.

1 Yes, I will bless thee, O my God,
Through all my jnortal days;
And to eternity prolong
Thy vast, thy boundless praise.
2 Nor shall my tongue alone proclaim
The honors of my God ;
My life, with all its active powers,
Shall spread thy praise abroad.
3 Not death itself shall stop my song.
Though death will close my eyes:
My thoughts shall then to nobler heights.
And sweeter raptures rise.
4 There shall my lips in endless praise.
Their grateful tribute pay ;
The theme demands an angel's tongue.
And an eternal day.
39
1 With my whole heart I'll raise my song.
Thy wonders I'll proclaim:
Thou, sovereign Judge of right and wrong.
Wilt put thy foes to shame.
2 I'll sing thy majesty and grace;
My God prepares his throne
To judge the world in righteousness.
And make his justice known.
3 Then shall the I.ord a refuge prove
For all the poor oppressed,
24
To save the people of his love,
And give the weary rest.
4 The men that know thy name, will trust
In thy abundant grace;
For thou wilt ne'er forsake the just,
Who humbly seek thy face.
5 Sing praises to the righteous Lord,
Who dwells on Sion's hill.
Who executes his threatening word,
And doth his grace fulfill.
40
1 Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme,
And speak some boundless thing,
The mighty works, or mightier name,
Of our eternal King.
2 Tell of his wondrous faithfulness.
And sound his power abroad;
Sing the sweet promise of his grace.
And the performing God.
3 His very word of grace is strong,
As that which built the skies;
The voice that rolls the stars along.
Speaks all the promises.
4 Oh, might I hear thy heavenly tongue
But whisper, " Thou art mine!"
Those gentle words sliould raise mj song
To notes almost divine.

1 Great Father of each perfect gift!
Behold thy servants wait;
"With longing eyes, and lifted hands,
We flock around thy gate.
2 Oh ! shed abroad that choicest gift,—
Thy Spirit from above.
To cheer our eyes with sacred light,
And fire our hearts with love.
3 Blest Earnest of eternal joy!
Declai-e our sins forgiven :
And bear, with energy divine.
Our raptured thoughts to heaven.
4 ►Diffuse, O God! thy copious showers,
That earth its fruit may yield.
And change the barren wilderness
To Carmel's flowery field.
74
1 Come, thou desire of all thy saints!
Our humble strains attend.
While, with our praises and complaints.
Low at thy feet we bend.
2 How should our songs, like those above.
With warm devotion rise !
How should our souls, on wings of love.
Mount upward to the skies!
38
Come, Lord! thy love alone can raise
In us the heavenly flame;
Then shall our lips resound thy praise,
Our hearts adore thy name.
4 Dear Saviour! let thy glory shine.
And fill thy dwellings here.
Till life, and love, and joy divine
A heaven on earth appear.
5 Then shall our hearts enraptured say,—
Come, great Redeemer! come.
And bring the bright, the glorious day,
That calls thy children home.
75
1 O THOU, who hast thy servants taught
That not by words alone.
But by the fruits of holiness,
The life of God is shown !
2 While in thy house of prayer we meet.
And call thee God and Lord,
Give us a heart to follow thee,
Obedient to thy word.
3 Through all the dangerous paths of life
Uphold us as we go.
That with our lips, and in our live.s.
Thy glory we may show.

1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove!
With all thy quickening powers,
Kindle a flame of sacred love,
In these cold hearts of ours.
2 Look— how we grovel here below.
Fond of these trifling toys!
Our souls can neither fly nor go
To reach eternal joys.
3 In vain we tune our formal songs,
In vain we strive to rise;
Hosannas languish on our tongues.
And our devotion dies.
4 Dear Lord ! and shall we ever live.
At this poor dying rate,
Onr love so faint, so cold to thee.
And thine to us so great?
5 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove!
With all thy quickening powers ;
Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love.
And that shall kindle ours.
77
1 CoMK, Holy Ghost, Creator ! come !
Inspire these souls of thine;
Till eveiT heart, which thou hast made,
Is filled with grace divine.
2 Thou art the Comforter, the gift
Of God, and fire of love ;
The everlasting spring of joy.
And unction from above.
3 Enlighten our dark souls, till they
Thy sacred love embrace;
Assist our minds, by nature frail.
With thy celestial grace.
4 Teach us the Father to confess.
And Son, from death revived.
And with them both. Thee, Holy Ghost
Who art from both derived.
78
i Lord, when we bend before thy throne,
And our confessions pour.
Teach us to feel the sins we own.
And hate what we deplore.
2 Our broken spirit pitying see;
True penitence impart;
Then let a kindling glance from thee
Beam hope on every heart.
a When we disclose our wants in prayer,
May we our wills resign ;
And not a thought our bosom share,
Which is not wholly thine.
4 Let faith each meek petition All,
And waft it to the skies;
And teach our hearts— 't is goodness still
That grants it, or denies.

Scarce we lift our weeping eyes ;
Oh, by all the pains and woe
Suflered once for man below,
Bending from thy throne on high,

By thy days of sore distress
In tlie lonely wilderness;
By the dread mysterious hour
Of the insulting tempter's power;
Turn, oh turn a favoring eye;
Hear our solemn Litany !
3 By the sacred griefs that wept
O'er the grave where Lazarus slept;
By the boding tears that flowed
Over Salena's loved abode ;

By the anguished sigh that told
Treachery lurked within thy fold;
From thy seat above tlie sky.
Hear our solemn Litany !
4 By thine hour of dire despair;
By thine agony of prayer ;
By the cross, the nail, the thorn,
Piercing spear, and torturing scorn;
By the gloom that veiled the skies
O'er the dreadful sacrifice;
Listen to our humble cry.
Hear our solemn Litany !
5 By thy deep expiring groan ;
By the sad sepulchral stone;
By the vault, whose dark abode
Held in vain the rising God;
Oh, from earth to heaven restored.
Mighty reascended Lord,
Listen, listen to the cry

Hearts and voices raising
Praises to our King.
All we have we offer.
All we hope to be.
Body, soul, and spirit,
All we yield to thee.
2 Nearer, ever nearer,
Christ, we draw to thee.
Deep in adoration
Bending low the knee:
Thou for our redemption
Cam'st on earth to die ;
Thou, that we might follow,
Hast gone up on high.
3 Great and ever greater
Are thy mercies here,
True and everlasting
Are the glories there.
Where no pain, or sorrow,
Toil, or care, is known,
Where the angel-legions
Circle round thy throne.
1 Bkighter still and brighter
Glows the western sun,
Shedding all its gladness
O'er our work that's done.
Time will soon be over.
Toil and sorrow past.
May we, blessed Saviour,
Find a rest at last.
2 Onward, ever onward,
Journeying o'er the road
Worn by saints before us,
Journeying on to God ;
Leaving all behind us
May we hasten on.
Backward never looking
Till the prize is won.
3 Higher then and higher
Bear the ransomed soul,
Earthly toils forgotten.
Saviour, to its goal;
Where in joys unthouglit of
Saints with angels sing,
Never weary raising
Praises to their King.

Wandering from the fold of God ;

Interposed his precious blood.

And glory shone around.
2 "Fear not," said he,— for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind,—
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring,

The Saviour, who is Christ, the Lord,
And this shall be the sign ; —

Appeared a shining throng

Addressed their joyful song :—

And to the earth be peace;
Good-will henceforth from heaven to men

While light and grace are given ;

Will show them how to go.
3 As yet we know thee but in part:
But still we trust thy word.

We wretclied sinners lay,
Without one cheerful beam of hope.

Beheld our helpless grief;
He saw, and— oh! amazing love! —
He ran to our relief.
3 Down from the shining seats above.
With joyful haste he fled,
Entered the grave in mortal flesh.
And dwelt among the dead.
4 Oh! for this love let rocks and hills
Their lasting silence break ;
And all harmonious human tongues
The Saviour's praises speak.
5 Angels! assist our mighty joys;
Strike all your harps of gold;
But, when you raise your highest notes.
His love can ne'er be told.

Make music on the air.
3 The answering hills of Palestine
S6nd 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 !"

1 The people that in darkness sat
A glorious Light have seen ;
The Light has shined on them who long
In shades of death have been.
2 To us a child of hope is born.
To us a Son is given ;
Him shall the tribes of earth obey,
Him all the hosts of heaven.
3 His name shall be the Prince of peace
For e-'ermore adored,

The great and mighty Lord.

His reign no end shall know ;
Justice shall guard his throne above,

1 When, marshaled on the nightly plain,
The glittering hosts bestud the sky;
One star alone, of all the train.
Can fix the sinner's wandering eye.
2 Hark ! hark !— to God the chorus breaks.
From every host, from every gem ;
But one alone the Saviour speaks,—
It is the Star of Bethlehem.
3 Once on the raging seas I rode,
The storm was loud, the night was dark,—
The ocean yawned— and rudely blowed
The wind that tossed my foundering bark.
4 Deep horror then my vitals froze.
Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem ;—
When suddenly a star arose,—
It was the Star of Bethlehem.
5 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 tlie port of peace.
6 Now safely moored— my perils o'er,
I'll sing, first in night's diadem.
For ever and for evermore.
The Star— the Star of Bethlehem !

1 When Jordan hushed liis waters still,
And silence slept on Zion's hill, [night,
Wlien Bethlehem's shepherds through the
Watched o'er their flocks by starry light—
2 Hark! from the midnight hills around,
A voice of more than mortal sound.
In distant hallelujahs stole.
Wild murmuring o'er the raptured soul.
3 On wheels of light, on wings of flame,
The glorious hosts of Zion came;
High heaven with songs of triumph rung.
While thus they struck their harps and sung:
4 "O Zion, lift thy raptured eye;
The long-expected hour is nigh ;
The joys of nature rise again ;
The Prince of Salem comes to reign.
5 "See, Mercy, from her golden urn.
Pours a rich stream to them that mourn ;
Behold, she binds, with tender care,
The bleeding bosom of despair.
6 " He comes to cheer the trembling heart;
Bids Satan and his host depart;
Again the day-star gilds the gloom,
Again the bowers of Eden bloom.

Illumine Ihose wlio sit in niglit;
Let tliose afar now hear thy voice,
And in thy fold witli us rejoice.

Oh, gently seek ! thy healing be
To every wounded conscience given,
And let them also share thy heaven.
3 Oh, make the deaf to hear thy word,
And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord,
Who dare not yet the faith avow.
Though secretly they hold it now.

Recall the wanderers from thy fold;
Unite those now who walk apart.
Confirm the weak and doubting heart.

Such grace with wondering thanks adore.
And endless praise to thee be given,
By all thy Church in earth and heaven.

Clothed in a garb of flesh and blood,
Choosing a manger for thy throne,
While worlds on worlds are thine alone.

That weary ones in thee may rest;
Forlorn and lowly is thy birth,
That we may rise to heaven from earth.
3 Thou comest in the darksome night
To inake us cliildren of tlie liglit,—
To make us, in tlie realms divine,
Like thine own angels round thee shine.

By this to thee our love is won ;
For this we tune our cheerful lays,
And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise.

The star of Jacob's ancient line:
The Eastern Sages hail its rays.
And raptured stand in anxious gaze.
3 Without, the Star informs their sight:
Within, there shines faith's brigliter light,
Wliich gently summons them to rise,
And trust the guidance of the skies.
4 When God commands, the wise obey;
Love sees no danger in tlie way :
House, neighbors, friends, theirsteps recall;
The voice of God outweighs them all.
5 Oh, while the star of heavenly grace
Invites us. Lord, to seek thy face,
I^et not our hearts from slotli refuse
Tlie guidance of that light to use.

1 Brightest and best of the sons of the
morning,
Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid;
Star of the East, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid !
2 fold on his cradle the dew-drops are shining;
IjOW lies his head with the beasts of the stall;
Angels adore him, in slumber reclining,
Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all !
3 Say, shiill we yield him in costly devotion.
Odors of Edom, and oflTerings divine,
64
Gems of llie mountain, and pearls of the
ocean,
Myrrli from the forest, or gold from the mine?
4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation ;
Vainly with gifts would his favor secure:
Richer by far is the heart's adoration;
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning.
Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid ;
Star of the l'"ast, the horizon adorning,

Roll o'er the heavenly plains,
And seraphs And employ
For their sublimest strains;
Some new delight in heaven is known,
Loud sound the harps around the throne.
2 Hark! hark !— the sounds draw nigh.
The joyful hosts descend;
Jesus forsakes the sky,
To earth his footsteps bend;
He comes to bless our fallen race ;
He comes with messages of grace.
3 Bear, bear the tidings round ;
Let every mortal know
What love in God is found.
What pity he can show ;
Ye winds that blow ! ye waves that roll !
Bear the glad news from pole to pole.
4 Strike, strike the harps again.
To great Immanuels name ;
Arise, ye sons of men !
And all his grace proclaim ;
Angels and men ! wake every string,
'Tis God the Saviour's praise we sing.

Of wisdom, love, and power,
That ever mortals knew,
That angels ever bore, —
All are too mean to speak his worth,
Too mean to set my Saviour forth.
2 But oh, what gentle terms,
What condescending ways
Doth our Redeemer use.
To teach his heavenly grace!
My eyes with joy and wonder see
What forms of love he bears for me,
3 Great Prophet of my God,
My tongue would bless thy name;
By thee the joyful news
Of our salvation came ; —
The joyful news of sins forgiv'n.
Of hell subdued, and peace with heav'n.

1 As WITH gladness men of old
Did the guiding star behold ;
As with joy they hail'd its light,
Leading onward, beaming bright;
So, most gracious Lord, may we
Evermore be led to thee.
2 As with joyous steps they sped
To that lowly manger-bed,
There to bend the knee before
Him whom heaven and earth adore;
So may we with willing feet
Ever seek the mercy-seat.
3 As they offered gifts most rare
At that manger rude and bare;
So may we with holy joy,
Pure and free from sin's alloy,
AU-our costliest treasures bring,
Christ! to thee our heavenly King.
4 Holy Jesus ! every day
Keep us in the narrow way ;
And, when earthly things are past,
Bring our ransomed souls at last
Where they need no star to guide,
Where no clouds thy glory hide.
5 In the heavenly country bright,
Need they no created light;
Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown,
Thou its Sun which goes not down,
There for ever may we sing
Hallelujahs to our King.

1 Raise your triumphant songs
To an immortal tune.;
Let the wide eartli resound the deeds
Celestial grace has done.
2 Sing— how eternal love
Its chief beloved chose,
And bade him raise our ruined race
From their abyss of woes.
3 His hand no thunder bears,
Nor terror clothes his brow,
No bolts to drive our guilty souls
To fiercer flames below.
4 'T was mercy filled the throne.
And wrath stood .silent by.
When Christ was sent, with pardons, down
To rebels doomed to die.
5 Now, sinners! dry your tears,
Let hopeless sorrow cease ;
Bow to the sceptre of his love,
And take the offered peace.
6 Lord ! wo obey thy call ;
We lay an humble claim
To the salvation thou hast brought.
And love and praise thy name.

Is born on earth to dwell."
3 See how the shepherd-band
Speed on with eager feet;
Come to the hallowed cave with them
The holy Babe to greet.
4 But oh ! what siglit appears
Within that lowly door;
A manger, stall, and swaddling clothes,
A Child and Mother poor.
5 Art thou the Christ? the Son ?
The Father's Image bright?
And see wc him whose arm upholds
Earth and the starry height?
6 Yea, faith can pierce the cloud
Which veils thy glory now;
We hail thee God, before whose throne
The angels prostrate bow.
7 A silent Teacher, Lord.
Thou bidst us not refuse
To bear what flesh would have us shun,
To shun what flesh would choose.

With that pure love of thine.
Oh, be thou born within our hearts,
Most holy Child divine.

\ Within the Father's house
The Son hath found his home;
And to his temple suddenly
The Lord of Life hath come.
2 The doctors of the law
Gaze on the wondrous Child,
And marvel at his gracious word
Of wisdom undefiled.
3 Yet not to them is given
The mighty truth to know,
To lift the fleshy veil which hides
Incarnate God below.
4 The secret of the Lord
Escapes each human eye.
And faithful pondering hearts await
The full Epiphany.
6 Lord, visit thou our souls,
And teach us by thy grace
Each dim revealing of thyself
With loving awe to trace;
6 Till from our darkened sight
The cloud shall pass away.
And on the cleans&d soul shall burst
The everlasting day.
1 Fierce raged the storm of wind,
The surging waves ran high,
Filled thy disciples' hearts with fear.
Though thou, their Lord, wast nigh.
2 But at the stern rebuke
Of thine Almighty word.
The wind was hushed, the billows ceased,
And owned thee God and Lord.
3 So, rrow, when depths of sin
Our souls with terror fill,
Arise, and be our helper. Lord,
And speak thy " Peace, be still."
120
1 All praise to thee, O Lord,
Who by thy mighty power
Didst manifest thy glory forth.
In Cana's marriage hour.
2 Thou speakest: it is done:
Obedient to thy word.
The water reddening into wine
Proclaims the present Lord.
3 Blest were the eyes which saw
That wondrous mystery.
The great beginning of thy works,
That kindled faith in thee.
4 And blessed they who know
Thine unseen Presence true.
When in the kingdom of thy grace
Thou makest all things new.
5 For by thy loving hand
Thy people still are fed;
Thou art the Cup of blessing, Lord,
And thou the Heavenly Bread.
6 Oh, may that grace be ours,
In thee for aye to live.
And drink of those refreshing streams
Which thou alone canst give.

1 Lord, in thy temple we appear,
As happy Simeon came,
And hope to meet our Saviour here ;
Oli make our joys tlie same !
2 With wliat divine and vast delight
The good old man was filled,
When fondly in his withered arms
He clasped the Holy Child !
3 " Now I can leave this world," he cried,
" Behold, thy servant dies ;
I've seen thy great salvation, Loi'd,
And close my peaceful eyes."
4 Jesus, the vision of thy face
Hath overpowering charms;
Scarce shall I feel death's cold embrace,
If Christ be in my arms.
5 When flesh shall fail, and heart-strings break,
Sweet will the minutes roll ;
A mortal paleness on my cheek,
But glory in my soul.
123
1 In stature grows the Heavenly Child,
With death before his eyes ;
A Ijamb unblemished, meek and mild.
Prepared for sacrifice.
2 Those mighty hands that rule the sky
No earthly toil refuse;
The Maker of the stars on high
An humble trade pursues.
62
3 He whom the hosts of angels praise.
At whose command they fly,
His earthly parents now obeys.
And lays his glory by.
4 For this thy lowliness revealed,
We, Jesus, thee adore.
And praise to God the Father yield
And Spirit evermore.
123
1 What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone
Around thy steps below ;
What patient love was seen in all
Thy life and death of woe.
2 For, ever on thy burdened heart
A weight of sorrow hung;
Yet no ungentle, murmuring word
Escaped thy silent tongue.
3 Thj' foes might hate, despise, revile.
Thy friends unfaithful prove;
Unwearied in forgiveness still,
Thy heart could only love.
4 Oh, give us hearts to love like thee!
Like thee, O Lord, to grieve
Far more for others' sin than all
The wrongs that we receive.
5 One with thyself, may every eye.
In us. thy brethren, sec
The gentleness and grace that spring
From union. Lord, with thee.

1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Saviour's brow ;
His head witli radiant glories crowned,
His lips with grace o'erflow.
2 No mortal can with him compare
Among the sons of men ;
Fairer is he than all the fair,
That All the heavenly train.
3 He saw me plunged in deep distress.
And flew to my relief;
For me he bore the shameful cross,
And carried all my grief.
4 To him I owe my life and breath.
And all the joys I have;
He makes me triumph over death.
And saves me from the grave.
5 To heaven, the place of his abode.
He brings my weary feet.
Shows me the glories of my God,
And makes my joys complete.
6 Since from his bounty I receive
Such proofs of love divine,
Had I a thousand hearts to give.
Lord, they should all be thine.

1 How beauteous were the marks divine,
Tliat in thy meekness used to shine,
That lit thy lonely pathway, trod
In wondrous love, O Son of God !
2 Oh, who like thee so calm, so bright.
So pure, so made to live in 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 scoft's of men, before?
So meek, forgiving, godlike, high.
So glorious in humility?
4 And death, which sets the prisoner free.
Was pang, and scoff, and scorn to thee;
Yet love through all thy torture glowed,
And mercy with thy life-blood flowed.
5 Oh, in thy 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 !

1 When like a stranger on our sphere,
The lowly Jesus sojourned here.
Where'er he went, affliction fled.
And sickness reared her drooping head.
64
2 Tlie eye that rolled in irksome night.
Beheld his face, — for he was 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 Demoniac madness, dark and wild.
In his inspiring presence smiled;
The storm of horror ceased to roll.
And reason lightened through the soul.
127
1 How sweetly flowed the gospel's sound
From lips of gentleness and grace.
When list'ning thousands gathered round.
And joy and reverence filled the place!
2 From heaven he came, of heaven he spoke,
To heaven he led his foll'wers' way;
Dark clouds of gloomy night he broke,
Unveiling an immortal day.
3 "Come, wanderers! to my Father's home.
Come, all ye weary ones! and rest:"
Yes, sacred Teacher! we will come.
Obey thee, love thee, and be blest.

1 O Lord of health and life, what tongue can
tell
How at thy word were loosed the bands of
hell;
How thy pure touch removed the leprous
stain,
And the polluted flesh grew clean again?
2 Oh, wash our hearts, restore the contrite soul,
Stretch forth thy healing hand, and make us
whole;
Oh, bend our stubborn knees to kneel to thee;
Speak but the word, and we once more are
free.
3 Yea, Lord, we claim the promise of thy love.
Thy love, which can all guilt, all pain re-
move;
5
Nigh to our souls thy great salvation bring,
Then sickness hath no pang, and death no
sting.
4 We hail this pledge in all thy deeds of grace:
As once disease and sorrow fled thy face.
So, when that face again unveiled we see.
Sickness and tears and death no more shall
be.
5 Then grant us strength to pray "Thy king-
dom come,"
When we shall know thee in thy Father's
home.
And at thy great Epiphany adore
The Co-eternal Godhead evermore.

1 'Tis midnight; and on Olive's brow
The star is dimmed that lately shone:
Tis midnight; in the garden now,
The suffering Saviour prays alone.
2 'Tis midnight; and from all removed,
The Saviour wrestles lone with fears;
Ev'n that disciple whom he loved
Heeds not his Master's grief and tears.
3 'Tis midnight; and for others' guilt
The Man of Sorrows weeps in blood;
Yet he that hath in anguish knelt
Is not forsaken by his God.
4 'Tis midnight; and from ether-plains
Is borne the song that angels know ;
Unheard by mortals are the strains
That sweetly soothe the Saviour's woe.
130
1 He dies!— the friend of sinners dies!
Lo! Salem's daughters weep around!
A solemn darkness veils the skies—
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 tlies;
Cherubic legions guard him home.
And shout him— welcome to the skies.
6fi
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 monster, death, in chains.
5 Say,—" Live for ever, glorious King!
Born to redeem, and strong to save!"
Then ask, "O death ! where is thy sting?
And where thy vict'ry, boasting grave?"
131
1 Here at thy cross, incarnate God,
I lay my soul beneath thy love;
Beneath the droppings of thy blood,
Jesus, nor shall it e'er remove.
2 Not all that tyrants think or saj'.
With rage and lightning in their eyes,
Nor hell shall fright my heart away.
Should hell with all its legions rise.
3 Should worlds conspire to drive me thence,
Moveless and Arm this heart should lie;
Resolved, for that's my last defence,
If I must perish, there to die.
4 But speak, my Lord, and calm my fear;
Am I not safe beneath thy sliadc?
Thy vengeance will not strike me here.
Nor Satan dare my soul invade.
5 Yes, I'm secure beneath thy blood.
And all my foes shall lose their aim;
Hosanna to my Saviour God,
And my best honors to his name.

Oh, come ye to the Saviour's side;
Oh, come, together let us mourn ;
Jesus, our Lord, is crucitied.
2 Have we no tears to slied for him,
While soldiers scoff and Jews deride?
Ah, look how patiently he hangs •
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
3 How fast his hands and feet are nailed;
His throat with parching thirst is dried ;
His failing eyes are dimmed with blood :
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
4 Seven times he spake, seven words of love;
And all three hours his silence cried
For mercy on the souls of men :
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
5 Come let us stand beneath the cross,
So may the blood from out his side
Fall gently on us drop by drop:
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
C A broken heart, a fount of tears
Ask, and they will not be denied ;
Lord Jesus, may we love and weep.
Since thou for us art crucified.

My beauty are, my glorious dress ;
'Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed,

2 Bold 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.
3 When from the dust of death I rise
To claim my mansion in the skies—
E'en then, this shall be all my plea:
Jesus hath lived, hath died for me.
4 Thus Abraham, the Friend of God,
Thus all heaven'sarmiesbouglit with blood,
Saviour of Sinners, thee proclaim;
Sinners, of whom the chief I am.
5 This spotless robe the samj appears.
When ruined nature sinks in years;
No age can change its glorious hue,
The robe of Christ is ever new.
6 Oh, let the dead now liear thy voice:
Bid, Lord, thy mourning ones rejoice;
Their beauty this, their glorious dress,
Jesus, the Lord our Righteousness.

Takes all our sins away ;—
A sacrifice of nobler name.
And richer blood than they.

While, like a penitent, I stand,
And there confess my sin.

And broke the fold of God ;
Each wandering in a different way,
But all the downward road.
2 How dreadful was the hour.
When God our wanderings laid,
And did at once bis vengeance pour
LTpon the Shepherd's head !
3 How glorious was the grace
When Christ sustained the stroke!
His life and blood the Shepherd pays
A ransom for the flock.
4 But God shall raise his head
O'er all the sons of men.
And make him see a numerous seed.
To recompense his pain.

Drawn from Immanuel's veins;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood.
Lose all their guilty stains.
2 The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day ;
And there have I, as vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.
3 Dear dying Lamb ! thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved, to sin no more.
4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing thy power to save.
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave.

1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed,
And did my Sov'reign die?
Would lie devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I ?
2 Was it for crimes that I had done,
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity ! grace unknown }
And love beyond degree!
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut his glories in.
When God, the mighty Maker, died
For man, the creature's sin.
4 Thus miglit I liide my blushing face,
Wiiile his dear cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt my eyes to tears.

The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
'Tis all that I can do.

There— adoring at his feet,
Mark that miracle of Time-

In the tomb the Saviour lay;
Still he slept ; from head to feet
Shrouded in the winding sheet, —
Lying in the rock alone.
Hidden by the sealed stone.
2 Late at even there was seen
Watching long the Magdalene;
Early, ere the break of day.
Sorrowful she took her way
To the holy garden glade.
Where her buried Lord was laid.
3 So with thee till life shall end
I would solemn vigil spend;
I^et me hew thee. Lord, a shrine
In this rocky heart of mine.

Sounds alond from Calvary ;

1 In the cross of Christ I glory,
Towering o'er the wrecks of time;
All the liglit of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime.
2 When the woes of life o'ertake me,
Hopes deceive, and fears annoy.
Never shall the cross forsake me:
Lo! it glows with peace and joy.
3 When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way,
From the cross the radiance streaming
Adds more lustre to the day.
4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure.
By the cross are sanctified;
Peace is there, that knows no measure,
Joys that through all time abide.
5 In the cross of Christ I glory,
Tow'ring o'er the wrecks of time ;
All tlie light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime.

1 When, on Sinai's top, I see
God descend in majesty,
To proclaim his holy laAV,
All my spirit sinks with awe.
2 When, in ecstacy sublime,
Tabor's glorious steep I climb,
At the too-transporting light,
Darkness rushes o'er my sight.
3 When on Calvary I rest,
God, in flesh made manifest,
Shines in my Redeemer's face.
Full of beauty, truth, and grace.
4 Here I would for ever stay,
Weep and gaze my soul away;
Thou art heaven on earth to me,
Lovely, mournful Calvary!
143
1 " It is finished !" shall we raise
Songs of sorrow, or of praise?
Mourn to see the Saviour die,
Or proclaim his victory ?
2 If of Calvary we tell,
How can songs of triumph swell?
If of man redeemed from woe,
How shall notes of mourning flow?
3 Ours the guilt which pierced his side.
Ours the sin for which he died ;
But the blood which flowed that day
Washed our sin and guilt away.
4 Lamb of God ! thy death hath given
Pardon, peace, and hope of heaven :
" It is finished !" let us raise
Songs of thankfulness and praise.

1 Surely Christ thy griefs has borne;
Weeping soul, no longer mourn :
View him bleeding on the tree.
Pouring out his life for thee.
2 Weary sinner, keep thine eyes
On the atoning sacrifice;
There the incarnate Deity,
Numbered with transgressors, see.

3 Cast thy guilty soul on him.
Find him mighty to redeem;
At his feet thy burden lay.
Look thy doubts and cares away.

Ere I can by faith be healed ;
Since I scarce can look to thee.
Cast a gracious eye on me.

1 Beyond where Cedron's waters flow,
Behold the suffering Saviour go
To sad Gethsemane;
His countenance is all divine,
Yet grief appears in every line.
2 He bows beneath the sins of men;
He cries to God, and cries again,
In sad Gethsemane;
He lifts his mournful eyes above:
"My Father, can this cup remove?"
3 With gentle resignation still
He yielded to his Father's will,
In sad Gethsemane:
"Behold me here, thine only Son;
And, Father, let thy will be done.
4 The Father lieard; and angels, there.
Sustained the Son of God in prayer.
In sad Gethsemane •.
He drank the dreadful cup of pain,
Then rose to life and joy again.
5 When storms of sorrow round us sweep,
And scenes of anguish make us weep.
To sad Gethsemane
We'll look, and see the Saviour there.
And humbly bow like him in prayer.

1 Soft bo the gently breathing notes,
That sing the Saviour's dying love;—
Soft as the evening zephyr floats;
Soft as the tuneful lyres above:
2 Soft us the morning dews descend,
While the sweet lark exulting soars;
So soft, to your Almighty Friend,
Be every sigh your bosom pours :
3 Pure as the sun's enlivening ray.
That scatters life and joy abroad;
Pure as the lucid car of day.
That wide proclaims its Maker, God;
4 Pure as the breath of vernal skies;
So pure let our contrition be;
So purely let our love arise
To him who bled upon the tree.

On which the Prince of glory died.
My richest gain I count but loss.
And pour contempt on all my pride.

All tlie vain things that charm me most

Did e'er such love and sorrow meet.

1 We sing the praise of him who died, —
Of him who died upon the cross;
The sinner's hope let men deride.
For this we count the world but loss.
2 Inscribed upon the cross we see.
In shining letters, — "God is Love:"
He bears our sins upon the tree,
He brings us mercy from above.
3 The cross ! — it takes our guilt away,
It holds the fainting spirit up;
It cheers with hope the gloomy day,
And sweetens every bitter cup.
4 It maltes the coward spirit brave.
And nerves the feeble arm for fight;
It takes its terror from the grave,
And gilds the bed of death witli liglit.
5 The balm of life, the cure of woe.

1 O SACRED Head, now Avounded,
With grief and sliame weiglied down,
Now scornfully surrounded
Witli 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 suflfered
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 cro-;s expiring,
I'd breathe my soul to thee.
4 What language shall I borrow
To thank thee, dearest Friend,
For this thy dying sorrow.
Thy pity without end?
O make me thine for ever;
And should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
Outlive my love to thee!
5 And when I am departing,
O part not thou from nie !
When mortal pangs are darting.
Come, Lord, and set me free !
And when my heart must languish
Amidst the final throe.
Release me from mine anguish,
By thine own pain and woe!
6 Be near me when I'm dying ;
O show thy cross to me !
And for my succor flying.
Come, Lord, and set me free !
These eyes, new faith receiving.
From Jesus shall not move;
For he who dies believing.
Dies safely, through thv love.

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

1 O Saviour, who for man hast trod
The winepress of the wrath of God,
Ascend, and claim again on high.
Thy glory left for us to die.
2 A radiant cloud is now thy seat.
And earth lies stretched beneath thy feet;
Ten thousand thousands round thee sing,
And share the triumph of their King.
3 The angel-host enraptured waits:
" Lift up your heads, eternal gates !"
O God-and-Man ! the Father's Throne
Is now for evermore thine own.
4 Our great High Priest and Shepherd, thou
Within the veil art entered now.
To offer there thy precious Blood
Once poured on earth a cleansing flood.
.5 And thence the Church, thy chosen Bride,
With countless gifts of grace supplied.
Through all her members draws from thee
Her hidden life of sanctity.
6 O Christ, our Lord, of thy dear care
Thy lowly members heavenward be
Be ours with thee to sufl'er pain.
With thee for evermore to reign.
7 All praise from every heart and tongue
To thee, ascended Lord, be sung;
All praise to God the Father be
And Holy Ghost eternally.

Xear himself prepares our place,
Great Forerunner of our race.

Taken from our head to-day,
See thy faithful servants, see.

1 Come, every pious heart,
That loves the Saviour's name,
Your noblest pow'rs exert
To celebrate his fame;
Tell all above, and all below,
The debt of love to him you owe.
2 He left his starry crown,
And laid his robes aside,
On wings of love came down,
And wept, and bled, and died;
What he endured, oh, who can tell.
To save our souls from death and hell ?
3 From the dark grave he rose.
The mansion of the dead.
And thence his mighty foes
In glorious triumph led;
Up through the sky the Conqu'ror 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.
159
1 Yes, the Redeemer rose;
The Saviour left the dead ;
SO
And o'er .our hellisli foes
High raised his conquering head;
In wild dismay, I Fall to the ground,
The guards around I And sink away.
2 Ijo! the angelic bands
In full assembly meet.
To wait his high commands,
And worship at his feet:
Joyful they come, I From realms of day.
And wing their way, I To Jesus' tomb.
3 Then back to heaven they fly
And the glad tidings bear.
Hark ! as they soar on high.
What music fills the air!
Their anthems say, I Hath left the dead ;
"Jesus, who bled, I He rose to-day."
4 Ye mortals! catch the sound,
Redeemed by him from hell ;
And send the echo round
The globe, on which you dwell !
Transported, cry, I Hath loft the dead,
"Jesus, who bled, I No more to die."
5 All hail! triumphant Lord!
Who sav'st us with thy blood;
Wide be thy name adored,
Thou rising, reigning God!
With thee we rise. I And empires gain.
With thee we reign, I Royond the skies.

1 I KNOW that my Redeemer lives,
And ever prays for me :
A token of his love he gives,
A pledge of liberty.
2 I find him lifting up my head; .
He brings salvation near:
His presence makes me free indeed,
And he will soon appear.
3 He wills that I should holy be:
What can withstand his will?
The counsel of his grace in me
He surely shall fulfill.
4 Jesus, I hang upon thy word :
I steadfastly believe
Thou wilt return, and claim me. Lord,
And to thyself receive.
163
1 With joy we meditate the grace
Of our High-Priest above ;
His heart is made of tenderness.
His bowels melt with love.
2 Touched with a sympathy within,
He knows our feeble frame;
He knows what sore temptations mean,
For he has felt the same.
3 But spotless, innocent, and pure.
The great Redeemer stood ;
While Satan's flerj- darts he bore
And did resist to blood.
4 He, in the days of feeble flesh,
Poured out his cries and tears;
And, in his measure, feels afresh
What every member bears.
5 Then let our humble faith address
His mercy and his power;
We shall obtain delivering grace.
In the distressing hour.
164
1 Now let our cheerful eyes survey
Our great High-Priest above;
And celebrate his constant care,
And sympathetic love.
2 Though raised to a superior throne.
Where angels bow around.
And high o'er all the shining train,
With matchless honors crowned;
3 The names of all his saints he bears
Deep graven on his heart;
Nor shall the meanest Christian say.
That he hath lost his part.
4 Those characters shall fair abide
Our everlasting trust.
When gems, and monuments, and crowns.
Are mouldered down to dust.
5 So, gracious Saviour! on my breast,
May thy dear name be worn,
A sacred ornament and guard.
To endless ages borne.

3 For thy rich, thy free redemption.
Bright, tho' veiled in darkness long,
Thought is poor, and poor expression ;
Who can sing that wondrous song?
Brightness of the Father's glory !
Shall thy praise unuttered lie?
Break, my tongue! such guilty silence,
Sing the Lord who came to die :
4 From the highest throne of glory,
To the cross of deepest woe.
Came to ransom guilty captives !
Flow, my praise ! for ever flow :
Reascend, immortal Saviour!
Leave thy footstool, take thy throne;
Thence return and reign for ever;
Be the kingdom all thine own!
174
1 Crown his head with endless blessing,
"Who, in God the Father's name,
"With compassions never ceasing.
Comes salvation to proclaim.
Hail, ye saints, who know his favor.
Who within his gates are found ;
Hail, ye saints, the exalted Saviour,
Let his courts with praise resound.
2 Jesus, thee our Saviour hailing,
Thee our God in praise we own ;
Highest honors, never failing.
Rise eternal round thy throne;
Now, ye saints, his power confessing,
In your grateful strains adore;
For his mercy, never ceasing,
Flows, and flows for evermore.

1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does his successive journeys run ;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
2 For him shall endless prayer be made,
And endless praises crown his head;
His name, like sweet perfume, slaall rise
With every inorning sacrifice.
3 People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on his love with sweetest song,
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his name.
■1 Blessings abound where'er he reigns,
The prisoner leaps to lose his chains.
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.
5 Let every creature rise and bring
Peculiar honors to our King;
Angels descend with songs again.
And earth repeat the loud Amen.

1 LoKi), when thou didst ascend on hi
Ten thousand angels rilled the sky;
Those heavenly guarils around thee wait,
Ijike chariots that attend thy state.
2 Not Sinai's mountain could appear
More glorious when the liord was there;
While he pronounced his holy law.
And struck the cliosoii tril)es M'ith awe.
3 How bright the triumph none can tell,
When the rebellious powers of hell,
That thousand souls had captive made,
Were all in chains, like captives, led.
4 Raised by his Father to the throne,
He sent the promised Spirit down
With gifts and grace for rebel men.
That God might dwell on earth again.
177
1 He lives, the great Redeemer lives;
What joy the blest assurance gives!
And now, before his Father, God,
Pleads the full merits 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.
3 For us he prayed, for us he taught.
For us his daily works he wrought,
By words, and signs, and actions, thus
Still seeking not himself, but us.
4 For us to wicked men betrayed.
Scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed.
He bore the shameful cross and death;
For us at length gave up his breath.
5 For us he rose from death again.
For us he went on high to reign.
For us he sent his Spirit here
To guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
HIS EXALTATION.

Th' immortal honors of thy name;
Although ascended to thy throne,
Thou still art present with thine own.
2 High on his Father's royal seat,
Our Jesus shone divinely great ;
Ere Adam's clay with life was warmed.
Or Gabriel's nobler spirit formed.
3 Through all succeeding ages, he
The same hath been, the same shall be ;
Immortal radiance gilds his head,
While stars and suns wax old, and fade.
4 The same his power his flock to guard,
The same his bounty to reward ;
The same his faithfulness and love,
To saints on earth and saints above.
5 Let nature change, and sink, and die;
Jesus shall raise his chosen high ;
And fix them near his heavenly throne,
In glory changeless as his own.

1 1 WAS a wandering sheep,
I did not. love the fold,
I did not love my Shepherd's voice,
I would not be controlled:
I was a wayward child,
I did not love my home,
I did not love my Father's voice,
I loved afar to roam.
2 The Shepherd sought his sheep.
The Father sought his child ;
He followed me o'er vale and hill,
O'er deserts waste and wild :
He found me nigh to death,
Famished, and faint, and lone;
He bound me with the bands of love.
He saved the wandering one.
3 Jesus my Shepherd is;
'Twas he that loved my soul,
'Twas he that washed me in his blood,
'Twas he that made me whole:
'Twas he that sought the lost.
That found the wandering sheep;
Twas he that broujiht me to the fold,
'Tis he that still doth Iteep.
90
4 No more a wandering sheep,
I love to be controlled,
I love my tender Shepherd's voice,
I love the peaceful fold :
No more a wayward child,
I seek no more to roam ;
I love my heavenly Father's voice,
I love, I love his home!
180
1 Jesus, my Strength, my Hope!
On thee I cast my care;
With humble confidence look up,
And know thou hearst my prayer;
Give me on thee to wait,
Till I can all things do;
On thee,— almighty to create,
Almighty to renew.
2 I rest upon thy word;
The promise is for me;
My succor and salvation. Lord!
Shall surely come from thee;
But let me still abide.
Nor from my hope remove,
Till thou my patient spirit guide
Into thy perfect, love.
HIS PROVIDENCE.
I want a sober mind,
A self-renouncing will,
That tramples down, and casts behind,
The baits of pleasing ill;
A soul inured to pain.
To hardship, grief, and loss ;
Bold to take up, firm to sustain,
The consecrated cross.
4 I want a godly fear,
A quick discerning eye,
That looks to thee when sin is near.
And sees the teinpter fly ;
A spirit still prepared.
And armed with jealous care;
For ever standing on its guard.
And watching unto prayer.

Thy little flock in safety keep,
Theflock for which thou cam'st from heaven.
The flock for which thy life was given.
2 Thou saw'st them wandering far from thee.
Secure, as if from danger free ;
Thy love did all their wanderings trace.
And brought them to a wealthy place.
3 Oh, guard thy sheep from beasts of prey.
And guide them that they never stray ;
Cherish the young, sustain the old,
Let none be feeble in thy fold.
4 Secure them from the scorching beam.
And lead them to the living stream ;
In verdant pastures let them lie.
And watch them with a Shepherd's eye.
5 Oh, may thy sheep discern thy voice,
And in its sacred sound rejoice;
From strangers may they ever flee.
And know no other guide but thee !

And let the number be complete:
Then let thy flock from earth remove.
And gather in the fold above.

1 Jesus, the sinner's Friend! to tliee,
Lost and undone, for aid I flee;
Weary of eartli, myself, and sin,
Open tliine arms, and talie me in.
2 Pity and lieal my sin-siclj soul,
'T is thou alone canst make me whole ;
I cannot rest till thou art mine,
Until in me thine image shine.
3 At last I own it cannot be
That I should flt myself for thee;
Here then, to thee, I all resign •.
Thine is the work, and only thine.
4 What shall I say, thj' grace to move?
Lord! I am sin, but thou art love;
I give up every plea beside;
Lord ! I'm condemned, but thou hast died.
183
1 When sins and fears prevailing rise,
And fainting hope almost expires,
Jesus! to thee I lift mine eyes, —
To thee I breathe my soul's desires.
2 If my immortal Saviour lives.
Then my immortal life is sure;
His word a firm foundation gives;
Here let me build, and rest secure.
3 Here let my faith unshaken dwell.
For ever firm the jiromise stands;
Not all tlic powers of earth and hell
Can e'er dissolve the sacred bands.

4 Here, O my soul ! thy trust repose ;
If Jesus is for ever mine,
Not death itself— that last of foes-
Shall break a union so divine.

2 The way the holy prophets went.
The road that leads from banishment,
The King's highway of holiness,
I '11 go; for all his paths are peace.
3 This is the way I long have sought.
And mourned because I found it not;
My grief, my burden long has been.
Because I could not cease from sin.
4 The more I strove against its power
I sinned and stumbled but the more;
Till late I heard my Saviour say,
" Come hither, soul ! I am the way."
5 Lo! glad I come! and thou, blest Lamb.'
Shalt take me to thee as I am;
Nothing but sin I thee can give;
Nothing but love shall I receive.
G Then will I tell to sinners round
What a dear Saviour I have found ;
I'll point to thy redeeming blood.
And say, Behold the way to God!

2 Blest with this fellowship divine,
Take what thou wilt, I '11 ne'er repine ;
E'en as the branches to the vine,
My soul would cling to thee,— to thee.
3 Far from my home, fatigued, oppressed,
Here have 1 found a place of rest;
An exile still, yet not unblest,
While I can cling to thee,— to thee.
A What thougli the world deceitful prove,
And eartlily friends and hopes reniove?
Witli patient,uncomplaining love
Still would I cling to thee,— to thee.
6 Oft, when I seem to tread alone
Some barren waste, with thorns o'ergrown.
Thy voice of love in gentlest tone.
Whispers, " Still cling to me,— to me."
6 Though faith and hope may long be tried,
I ask not, need not, aught beside;
How safe, how calm, how satisfied,
The souls that cling to thee,— to thee !

1 O Love Divine! that stooped to share
Our sharpest pang, our bitterest tear.
On thee we cast each earth-born care.
We smile at pain while thou art near.
2 Though long the weary way we tread.
And sorrow crown each ling'ring year.
No patli we shun, no darkness dread.
Our heart still whisp'ring, thou art near.
3 On thee we fling our burd'ning woe,
O Love Divine, for ever dear;
Content to suffer while we know.
Living or dying, tliou art near.

1 O Tiiou, the contrite sinner's Friend,
Who loving, lov'st them to the end !
On this alone my hopes depend.
That thou wilt plead for me.— for me.
2 When, weary in the Cliristiau race,
Far off appears iny resting-place.
And fainting I mistrust thy grace.
Then, Saviour! plead for me,— for me.
3 When I have erred, and gone astray.
Afar from thine and wisdom's way.
And see no glimmering guiding ray,
Still, Saviour! plead for me,— for me.
4 When Satan, by my sins made bold.
Strives from thy cross to loose my hold.
Then, with thy pitying arms, enfold.
And plead, oh, plead for ine, — for me.
5 And, when my dying hour draws near.
Darkened with anguish, guilt, and fear,
Tlien to my fainting sight appear.
Pleading in heaven for me, — for me.
6 When the full light of heavenly day
Reveals my sins in dread array,
Say thou hast washed them all awaj';
Oh ! say thou plead'st for me,— for me.

1 O THOU, to whose all-searching sight
The darkness shineth as the light!
Search, prove my heart; it pants for thee;
Oh, burst these bonds, and set it free.
2 Wash out its stains, refine its dross;
Nail my affections to the cross;
Hallow each thought: let all within
Be clean, as thou, my Lord ! art clean.
3 If in this darksome wild I stray.
Be thou my Light, be thou my Way;
No foes, no violence I fear.
No harm, while thou, my God, art near.
4 When rising floods my soul o'erflow.
When sinks my heart in waves of woe,
Jesus ! thy timely aid impart,
And raise my head and cheer my heart.
5 Saviour! where'er thy steps I see.
Dauntless, untired, I follow thee;
Oh, let thy hand support me still,
And lead me to thy holy hill.

1 How sad our state by nature is !
Our sin, how deep it stains !
And Satan binds our captive minds
Fast in his slavisli chains.
2 But there 's a voice of sovereign grace
Sounds from the sacred word :
"Ho! ye despairing sinners! come,
And trust upon the Lord."
3 My soul obeys tli' almighty call,
And runs to this relief;
I would believe thy promise. Lord!
Oh, help my unbelief,
4 To the dear fountain of thy blood.
Incarnate God ! I fly ;
Here let me wash my spotted soul
From stains of deepest dye.
5 A guilty, weak and helpless worm.
On thy kind arms I fall ;
Be thou my strength and righteousness,
My Jesus and my all.

Dear Lord ! remember me.

When creature-helps all flee.
Then, O my dear Redeemer God!
I pray, remember me.

1 O Jesus, Saviour of the lost.
My Rock and Hiding-place,
By storms of sin and sorrow tost,
I seek thy sheltering grace.
2 Guilty, forgive me, Lord! I cry;
Pursued by foes, I come ;
A sinner, save me, or I die —
An outcast, take me home.
3 Once safe in thine almighty arms.
Let storms come on amain ;
There danger never, never harms;
There death itself is gain.
4 And when I stand before thy throne.
And all thy glories see,
Still be my righteousness alone
To liide myself in thee.

Close sheltered in thy bleeding side,
Who thence their life and strength derive,
And by thee move and in thee live !
3 What are our works but sin and death
Till thou thy quickening Spirit breatlie?
Thou giv'st the power thj' grace to move;
Oh, wondrous grace ! Oh, boundless love !
4 How can it be, thou heavenly King!
That thou shouldst us to glory bring?
Make slaves the partners of thy throne.
Decked with a never-fading crown?
5 Hence our hearts melt; our eyes o'erflow;
Our words are lost; nor will we know.
Nor will we think of aught beside—
My Lord, my Love, is crucified !

Because thou first hast lovOd me;
I seek no otlier liberty
But that of being bound to thee.

But shall to thy pure glory tend,

My understanding find no rest
Except in tliee, its only end.
3 All mine is thine; say but the word,
Whate'cr thou wiliest shall be done ;
I know thy love, all-gracious Lord!
I know it seeks my good alone.
A Apart from thee all things are naught;
Then grant, O my supremest Bliss,
Grant me to love thee as I ought;
Thou givest all in giving this.

Unite my thankful heart to thee.
And reign without a rival there.

All pain before its presence flies;
Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away
Where'er its healing beams arise.
3 Oh, let thy love my soul inflame.
And to thy service sweetly bind ;
Transfuse it through my inmost frame.
And mould me wholly to tliy mind.

Sinners, beliold the bleeding Lamb !
To him lift up your longing eyes,
And hope for mercy in his name.

3 This is the hidden life I prize—
A life of penitential love;
When most my follies I despise.
And raise my liighest thoughts above;
4 When all I am I clearly see.
And freely own, with deepest shame;
When the Redeemer's love to me
Kindles within a deathless flame.

And all my former sins forsake;
Then rise to God, within the veil,
And of eternal joys partake.

One glimpse of happiness afford?
3 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!

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

Thus, fond of trifles, vainly rove,
Forgetful of a Saviour's love!

At thy dear feet, repentant, mourn ;
There let me view thy pardoning love,
And never from thy sight remove.

Bind all the passions of my soul;
Bid every vanity depart.
And dwell for ever in my heart.

Ye cling to him, the Crucified.
3 Upon his grace ye banquet here;
Ye know him true, ye feel him near;
The balm of his dear blood ye bless;
Ye wear his robe of righteousness.
4 But greater shall the wonder grow.
But mightier shall the joy o'erflow;
Upon your Lord ye j'et shall gaze
And look your love and sweet amaze.
5 Oh, make me meet for joy like this !
Oh, grant me grace to bear the bUss!

And gazing on for evermore.
Glow with the beauty I adore.

4 Oh. may I never faint nor tire.
Nor wandering leave his sacred ways;
Great God! accept my soul's desire.
And give me strength to live thy praise.
209
4 'Tis to my Saviour I would live,
To him who for my ransom died;
Nor could untainted Eden give
Such bliss as blossoms at his side.
5 His work my hoary age shall bless
When youthful vigor is no more.
And my last hour of life confess
His dying love, his saving power.
210
^ My gracious Lord ! I own thy right
To every service I can pay;
And call it my supreme delight
To hear thy dictates and obey.
2 What is my being but for thee,
Its sure support, its noblest end,
Thine ever-smiling face to see.
And serve the cause of such a Friend?
3 I would not breathe for worldly joy.
Or to increase my worldly good;
Nor future days or powers employ
To spread a sounding name abroad.
lUO
1 On, happy day that fixed my choice
On thee, my Saviour and my God !
"V\^ell may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad.
2 Oh, happy bond that seals my vows
To him who merits all my love!
Let cheerful anthems fill his house
While to that sacred shrine I move.
3 'Tis done— the great transaction's done;
I am my Lord's, and he is mine;
He drew me, and I followed on,
Rejoiced to own the call divine.
•1 Now rest, my long-divided heart!
Fixed on this blissful centre, rest;
Here have I found a nobler part.
Here heavenly pleasures fill my breast.
5 High heaven, that hears the solemn vow.
That vow renewed shall daily hear;
Till in life's latest hour 1 bow.
And bless in death a bond so dear.

AFFECTIONS AND DUTIES.
214
1 Lord! I am thine, entirely tliine,
Purcliased and saved by blood divine;
With full consent thine I would be,
And own thy sovereign right in me.
2 Grant one poor sinner more a place
Among the children of thy grace—
A wretched sinner, lost to God,
But ransomed by Immanuel's blood.
3 Thee my new Master now I call,
And consecrate to thee my all ;
Thine would I live, thine would I die,
Be thine through all eternity.
212
1 Forth in thy name, O Lord ! I go,
My daily labor to pursue.
Thee, only thee, resolved to know,
In all I think or speak or do.
2 Give me to bear thine easy yoke.
And every moment watch and pra}'.
And still to things eternal look,
And hasten to thy glorious day.
3 Fain would I still for thee employ
Whate'er thy bounteous grace hath given,
And run my course with even joy.
And closely walk with thee to heaven.
213
1 And dost thou say, "Ask what thou wilt '"!
Lord ! I would seize the golden hour;
I pray to be released from guilt.
And freed from sin and Satan's power.
2 More of thy presence. Lord! impart;
More of thine image let me bear;
Erect tliy throne within my heart,
And reign without a rival there.
3 Give me to read my pardon sealed,
And from thy joy to draw my strength.
To have thy boundless love revealed
In all its height and breadth and length.
4 Grant these requests ; I ask no more,
But to thy care the rest resign
Sick or in health or rich or poor.
All shall be well if thou art mine.
1 Let me but hear my Saviour say,
"Strength shall be equal to thy day;"
Then I rejoice in deep distress,
Leaning on all-suflicient grace.
2 I glory in infirmity.
That Christ's own power may rest on me;
When I am weak, then am I strong;
Grace is my shield, and Christ my song.
3 I can do all things, or can bear
All suflferings, if my Lord be there;
Sweet pleasures mingle with the pains
While his kind hand my soul sustains.
215
1 So let our lips and lives express
The holy gospel we profess;
So let our works and virtues shine
To prove the doctrine all divine.
2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad
The honors of our Saviour God,
When his salvation reigns within.
And grace subdues the power of sin.
3 Religion bears our spirits up.
While we expect that blessed hope,
The bright appearance of the Lord,
And faith stands leaning on his word.
216
1 My dear Redeemer and my Lord !
I read my duty in thy word :
But in thy life the law appears
Drawn out in living characters.
2 Such was thy truth, and such thy zeal,
Such def'rence to thy Father's will,
Such love, and meekness so divine,
I would transcribe and make them mine.
3 Cold mountains and the midnight air
Witnessed the fervor of thy prayer;
The desert thy temptations knew.
Thy conflict and thy vict'ry too.
4 Be thou my pattern ; make me bear
More of thy gracious linage here;
Then God the Judge shall own my name.
Among (he foU'wers of the Lamb.

1 In evil long I took delight,
Uiiiiwed by shame or fear,
Till a new object s;truck my sight
And stopped my M'ild career.
2 I saw One hanging on a tree
In agonies and blood,
Who fixed his languid eyes on me
As near his ci'oss 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 Alas ! I knew not what I did !
But now my tears are vain :
Where shall my trembling soul be hid?
For I the Lord have slain !
6 A second look he gave, M-hich said,
"I freely all forgive;
This blood is for thy ransom jiaid ;
I die that thou mayst live."
7 Thus, while his death my sin displays
In all its blackest hue,
Such is the mystery of grace,
It seals niv pardon too.
102
1 On, may my heart, by grace renewed.
Be my Redeemer's throne;
And be my stubborn will subdued,
His government to own.
2 Let deep repentance, faith and love
Be joined with godly fear.
And all mj- conversation prove
ISIy heart to be sincere.
3 Preserve nie from the snares of sin
Through my remaining days.
And in me let each virtue shine
To my Redeenier's praise.
4 Let lively hope my soul inspire;
Let warm atTections rise;
And may I wait with strong desire
To mount above the skies !
219
1 Dear Saviour! when my thoughts recall
The wonders of thy grace,
Low at thy feet, ashamed, I fall.
And hide this wretched face.
2 Shall love like thine be thus I'epaid?
Ah, vile, ungrateful heart !
By earth's low cares so oft betrayed
From Jesus to depart.
3 Oh, while I breathe to thee, my Lord,
The penitential sigh.
Confirm the kind, forgiving word.
With pity in thine eye!

1 Prostrate, dear Jesus, at thy feet
A guilty rebel lies.
And upward to thy mercy-seat
Presumes to lift iiis eyes.
2 If tears of sorrow would sufHee
To pay the debt I owe.
Tears should from both my weeping eyes
In ceaseless torrents flow.
3 But no such sacrifice I plead
To expiate iny guilt;
No tears but tliose which thou hast slied.
No blood but thou hast spilt.
4 Think of thy sorrows, dearest Lord !
And all my sins forgive;
Justice will well approve the word
That bids the sinner live.
221
1 When, wounded sore, the stricken soul
Lies bleeding and unbound.
One only hand, a pierced hand,
Can heal the sinner's wound.
2 When sorrow swells the laden breast
And tears of anguish flow,
One only heart, a broken heart.
Can feel the sinner's woe.
3 Wlien penitence has wept in vain
Over some foul, dark spot,
One only sti-eain, a stream of blood,
Can wash away the blot.
4 'Tis Jesus' blood that washes white,
His hand that brings relief:
His heart that's touched with all our joys.
And feeleth for our grief.
5 Lift up thy bleeding hand, O Lord !
Unseal that cleansing tide;
We have no shelter from our sin
But in thy wounded side.
1 Oh, for that tenderness of heart
That bows before the Lord,
That owns how just and good thou art,
And trembles at thy svord.
2 Oh, for those humble, contrite tears
Which from repentance flow,
That sense of guilt which, trembling, fears
The long-suspended blow.
3 Saviour ! to me in pity give.
For sin, the deep distress.
The pledge thou wilt at last receive.
And bid me die in peace.
4 Oh, All my soul with faith and love,
And strength to do thy will ;
Raise my desires and hopes above,
Thyself to me reveal.

1 Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go ft-ee?
Xo ; there's a cross for every one,
And there's a cross for me.
2 The consecrated cross I'll bear
Till death shall set me free.
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there's a crown for me.
3 Upon the crystal pavement, down
At Jesus' pierced feet.
Joyful, I'll cast my golden crown,
And his dear name repeat.
4 And palms shall wave and harps shall rln^
Beneath heaven's arches high ;
The Lord that lives, the ransomed sing.
That lives no more to die.
5 Oh, precious cross! oh, glorious crown!
Oh, resurrection day !
Ye angels, from the stars come down,
And bear my soul away.
224
1 Ye men and angels! witness now.
Before the Lord we speak ;
To him we make our solemn vow,
A vow we dare not break—
2 That long aa life itself shall last
Oitrselves to Christ we yield;
104
Xor from his cause will we depart,
Xor ever quit the field.
3 We trust not in our native strength,
But on his grace rely ;
May he, with our returning wants,
A needful aid supply.
4 Oh, guide our doubtful feet aright.
And keep us in thy ways;
And while we turn our vows to prayers,
Turn thou our prayers t« praise.
1 I'M not ashamed to own my Lord,
Or to defend his cause.
Maintain the honor of his word.
The glory of his cross.
2 Jesus, my God ! I know his name,
His name is all my trust;
Nor will he put my soul to shame,
Xor let my hope be lost.
3 Firm as his throne his promise stands,
And he can well secure
"What I've committed to his hands
Till the decisive hour.
4 Then will he own my worthless name
Before his Father's face.
And in the new Jerusalem
Appoint my soul a place.

1 Lord ! as to thy dear cross we flee
And plead to be forgiven,
So let thy life our pattern be,
And form our souls for heaven.
2 Help us, through good report and ill.
Our daily cross to bear;
Like thee, to do our Father's will.
Our brethren's griefs to share.
3 Let grace our selfishness expel,
Our earthiiness refine.
And kindness In our bosoms dwell
As free and true as thine,
4 If joy shall at thy bidding fly.
And grief's dark day come on.
We, in our turn, would meekly cry,
"Father! thy will be done!"
227
1 And must I part with all I have.
My dearest Lord, for thee?
It is but right, since thou hast done
Much more than this for me.
2 Ten thousand worlds, ten thousand lives,
How worthless they appear.
Compared with thee, supremely good.
Divinely bright and fair !
3 Saviour of souls, while I from thee
A single smile obtain.
Though destitute of all things else,
I'll glory in my gain.
1 O Fount of good, to own thy love
Our thankful hearts incline:
What can we render. Lord, to thee,
When all the worlds are thine?
2 But thou hast needy brethren here,
Partakers of thy grace.
Whose names thou wilt thyself confess
Before the Father's face.
3 In each sad accent of distress
Thy pleading voice is heard;
In them thou mayst be clothed and fed.
And visited and cheered.
4 Help us then, Lord, thy yoke to wear,
To joy to do thy will ;
Each other's burdens gladly bear.
And love's sweet law fulflll.
5 Thy face with reverence and with love
We in thy poor would see,
And while we minister to them
Would do it as to thee.
6 Do thou, O Lord, our alms accept,
And with thy blessing speed;
Bless us in giving; greatly bless
Our gifts to them that need.
7 To Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
The God whom we adore.
Be glory, as it was, is now.
And shall be evermore.

1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds
And drives away his fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul.
And, to the weary, rest.
3 Jesus! mj' Shepherd, Husband, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest and King !
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End!
Accept the praise I bring.
4 Weak is the effort of my heart.
And cold my warmest thought;
But when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.
5 Till then I would thy love prcjelaim
With every fleeting breath ;
And may the music of thy name
Refresh my soul in death.

In cords of heavenly love;

To the dear fountain of thy blood,
And make me pure within.

Attract me nearer still :
Draw me, like Mary, to thy feet,
To sit and learn thy will.
4 Oh, draw me by thy providence,
Thy Spirit and thy word,
From all the things of time and sense,
To thee, my gracious Lord.

1 Jesus! these eyes have never seen
That radiant form of thine;
The veil of sense hangs dark between
Thy blessed face and mine.
2 I see thee not, I hear thee not,
Yet art thou oft with me.
And earth hath ne'er so dear a spot
As where I meet with thee.
3 Like some bright dream that comes unsoug
When slumbers o'er me roll.
Thine image ever fills my thought,
And charms my ravished soul.
4 Yet though I have not seen, and still
Must rest in faith alone,
I love thee, dearest Lord ! and will.
Unseen, but not unknown.
5 AVhen death these mortal eyes shall seal,
And still this throbbing heart.
The rending veil shall thee reveal
All glorious as thou art.

1 Jesus ! the very thought of thee
With sweetness fills my breast;
But sweeter far thy face to see.
And in thy presence rest.
2 Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
Nor can the memory find,
A sweeter sound than thy blest name,
O Saviour of mankind!
3 O Hope of every contrite heart,
O Joy of all the meek !
To those who fall how kind thou art.
How good to those who seek !
4 But what to those that find? Ah ! this
Nor tongue nor pen can show;
The love of Jesus— what it is
None but his loved ones know.
233
1 The Saviour ! oh what endless charms
Dwell in the blissful sound!
Its influence every fear disarms.
And spreads sweet comfort round.
2 Th' almighty Former of the skies
Stooped to our vile abode,
While angels viewed witli wond'ring eyes,
And hailed th' incarnate God.
3 Oh, the rich depth of love divine!
Of bliss a boundless store !
Dear Saviour! let me call thee mine,
I cannot wish for more.
4 On thee alone my hope relies,
Beneath thy ci-oss I fall ;

My Saviour and my All.

My Jesus and my God !
Who can resist thy heavenly love.
Or trifle with thy blood?

'Tis by thine interceding breath
The Spirit dwells with men.
3 Till God in human flesh I see
My thoughts no comfort find ;
The holy, just and sacred Three
Are terrors to my mind.
4 But if Immanuel's face appear.
My hope, my joy, begins;
His name forbids my slavish fear,
His grace removes my sins.

And Greeks of wisdom boast,
I love th' incarnate mystery,
And there I fix my trust.

If short, yet why should I be sad
To soar to endless day ?
3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than he went through before;

Must enter by this door.

Thy blessed face to see ;

What will thy glory be?

And earthly comforts flee;
He, the Dispenser of all good,
Is more than these to me.
'1 If he is mine, I'll fearless pass
Through death's tremendous vale;
He'll be my comfort and my stay
When heart and flesh shall fail.

When all the streams are dried.

1 Sweet was the time when first I felt
Tlie Saviour's pard'ning blood
Applied to cleanse my soul from guilt,
And bring me home to God.
2 Soon as the morn the light revealed
His praises tuned my tongue;
And when the evening shades 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.
i But now, when evening shade prevails.
My soul in darkness mourns;
And when the morn the light reveals.
No light to me returns.

Oh, make my soul thy care:
I know thy mercy cannot fail —
Let me that mercy share.

Proclaims thy conquering arm ;

1 My God ! I love thee, not because
I hope for heaven thereby ;
Nor yet because, if I love not,
I must for ever die.

Upon the cross embrace;
For me didst bear the nails and spear,
And manifold disgrace,
3 And griefs and torments numberless,
And sweat of agony,
Yea, death itself; and all for me,
Who was thine enemy.
4 Then why, O blessed Jesus Christ!
Should I not love thee well?
Not for the sake of winning heaven,
Nor of escaping hell :
5 Not with the hope of gaining aught;
Not seeking a reward;
But as thyself hast loved me,

1 Do NOT I love thee, O my Lord ?
Behold my heart, and see ;
And turn each worthless idol out
That dares to rival thee.
2 Do not I love thee from my soul ?
Then let me nothing love;
Dead be my heart to every joy
Which thou dost not approve.
3 Is not thy name melodious still
To mine attentive ear?
Doth not each pulse with pleasure bound
My Saviour's voice to hear?
4 Hast thou a lamb in all thy flock
I would disdain to feed?
Hast thou a foe before whose face
I fear thy cause to plead?
5 "Would not my heart pour forth its blood
In honor of thy name.
And challenge the cold hand of death
To damp the immortal flame?

Far from the sphere of mortal joys,
And learn to love thee more.

3 All my capacious powers can wish
In thee doth richly meet;
Nor to mine eyes is light so dear,
Nor friendship half so sweet.
4 Thy grace still dwells upon my heart.
And sheds its fragrance there.
The noblest balm of all its wounds.
The cordial of its care.
5 I'll speak the honors of thy name
With my last lab'ring breath ;
Then speechless clasp thee in mine arms.
The antidote of death.

1 O Jesus! thou the beauty art
Of angel worlds above;
Thy name is music to the heart.
Enchanting it with love.
2 O Jesus, Saviour! hear the sighs
Which unto thee I send ;
To thee mine inmost spirit cries,
My being's hope and end.
3 Stay with us. Lord! and with thy light
Illume the soul's abyss;
Scatter the darkness of our night.
And till the world with bliss.
i O Jesus, King of earth and heaven !
Our life and joy I to thee
Be honor, thanks and blessing given
Through all eternity!
251
1 O Jesus! King most wonderful.
Thou Conqueror i-enowned.
Thou sweetness most ineffable.
In whoni all joys are found !
2 When once thou visitest the heart,
Then truth begins to shine ;
Then earthly vanities depart;
Then kindles love divine.
3 O Jesus, Light of all below !
Thou Fount of life and fire !
Surpassing all the joys we know,
All that we can desire,
4 May every heart confess thy name.
And ever thee adore ;
And seeking thee, itself inflame
To seek thee more and more.
5 Thee may our tongues for ever bless;
Thee may we love alone;
And ever in our lives express
The image of thine own.

1 Jesus, thou art my righteousness,
For all my sins were thine;
Thy death hath bought of God mj' peace.
Thy life hath made him mine.
2 Spotless and just in thee I am ;
I feel my sins forgiven ;
I taste salvation in thy name.
And antedate my heaven,
3 For ever here my rest shall be,
Close to thy bleeding side ;
This all my hope and all my plea,
For me the Saviour died !
4 My dying Saviour and my God,
Fountain for guilt and sin,
Sprinkle me ever with thy blood.
And cleanse and keep me clean !
5 Wash me, and make me thus thine own ;
Wash me, and mine thou art;
Wash me, but not my feet alone—
My hands, my head, my heart!
6 The atonement of thy blood apply,
Till faith to sight improve,
Till hope in full fruition die,
And all my soul l)e love.

The thorny path of woe!
Forbid that I should slight the rod
Or faint beneath the blow.

Nor murmur at the heaviest yoke
That tells me I am thine.
3 Give me the spirit of tliy trust
To suffer as a son.
To sa5', though lying in the dust,
ISIy Father's will be done.
4 I know that trial works for ends
Too high for sense to trace.
That oft in dark attire he sends
Some embassy of grace.
5 May none depart till I have gained
The blessing which it bears,
And learn, though late, I entertain
An angel unawares.
6 So shall I bless the hour that sent
The mercy of the rod.
And build an altar by the tent
Where I have mot with God.

1 When languor and disease invade
TJiis trembling house of clay,
'Tia sweet to look beyond the flesh,
And long to fly away-
Sweet to look inward, and attend
The whispers of his love;
Sweet to look upward to the place
Where Jesus pleads above ;
'2 Sweet to reflect how grace divine
My sins on Jesus laid;
Sweet to remember that his blood
My debt of suflTerings paid ;
Sweet on his righteousness to stand.
Which saves from second death ;
Sweet to experience, day by day,
His Spirit's quickening breath;
3 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 stream,
What must the fountain be
Where saints and angels draw their bliss
Immediately from thee?
1 I HEARD the voice of Jesus say,
" Come unto me and rest ;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon my breast."
I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary, and worn, and sad;
I found in him a resting-place,
And he has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
" Behold, I freely give
The living water ; thirsty one,
Stoop down and drink, and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's light;
Look unto me: thy morn shall rise
And all thy day be bright."
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In him my Star, my Sun ;
And in that light of life I'll walk,
'Till traveling days are done.

1 O Jesus Christ! if aught there be
That, more than all beside,
111 ever painful memory
Must in my heart abide,
2 It is that deep ingratitude
Which I to thee have shown,
Who didst for me in tears and blood
Upon the cross atone.
3 Alas ! how with my actions all
Has this defect entwined !
How has it poisoned with its gall
My spirit, heart and mind!
4 Alas! through this, how many a gem
I've rudely cast away
That might have formed my diadem
In everlasting day !
5 Yet though the time be past and gone.
Though little more remains.
Though naught is all that can be done
E'en with my utmost pains,
C Still will I strive. O Saviour mine!
To do what in me lies ;
For never did thy glance divine
A contrite heart despise.
116
1 Shepherd divine, our wants relieve
In this our evil day;
To all thy tempted followers give
The power to trust and pray.
2 Long as our flery trials last.
Long as the cross we bear,
Oh, let our souls on thee be cast
In never-ceasing prayer.
3 Thy Holy Spirit's praying grace
Give us in faith to claim;
To wrestle till we see thy face.
And know thy hidden name.
4 Till thou the Father's love impart,
Till thou thyself bestow.
Be this the cry of every heart,
t will not let thee go—
5 I will not let thee go unless
Thou tell thy name to me;
With all thy great salvation bless,
And say, "I died for tliee."
G Then let me on the mountain-top
Behold thine open face,
Till faith in sight is swallowed up.
And prayer in endless praise.

1 O Jesus, Jesus, dearest Lord !
Forgive me if I say,
For very love, thy sacred name
A thousand times a day.
2 I love thee so I know not how
My transports to control ;
Thy love is like a burning Are
Within my very soul.
3 Oh, wonderful, that thou shouldst let
So vile a heart as mine
Love thee with such a love as tins.
And make so free with thine !
4 O Light in darkness ! Joy in grief!
O heaven begun on earth !
Jesus, my Love, my Treasure ! who
Can tell what thou art worth?

1 O THOU who driest the mourner's tear!
How dark this world would be
If, when deceived and wounded here.
We could not fly to thee !
2 The friends who in our sunshine live
When winter comes are flown ;
And he who has but tears to give
Must weep those tears alone.
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?
■i 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.

1 Awaked by Sinai's awful sound,
My soul in bonds of guilt. I found,
And knew not where to go;
Eternal truth did loud proclaim,
"The sinner must be born again,"
Or sink to endless woe.
2 When to the law I trembling fled,
It poured its curses on my head,
I no relief could find ;
This fearful truth increased my pain,
"The sinner must be born again,"
And whelmed my tortured mind.
3 Again did Sinai's thunders roll,
And guilt lay heavy on my soul,
A vast oppressive load ;
Alas ! I read and saw it plain,
"The sinner must be born again,"
Or drink the wrath of God.
1 Tlie saints I heard with rapture tell
How Jesus conquered death and hell.
And brolce the fowler's snare;
Yet when I found this truth remain,
"The sinner must be born again,"
I sunk in deep despair.
5 But while I thus in anguish lay
The gracious Saviour passed this way,
And felt his pity move;
The sinner by his justice slain
Now' by his grace is born again,
And sings redeeming love.
281
1 O THOU that hear'st the prayer of faith,
Wilt tliou not save a soul from death
That casts itself on thee?
I have no refuge of my own.
But fly to what my Lord has done
And suflfered once for me.
2 Slain in the guilty sinner's stead,
His spotless righteousness I plead,
And his availing blood ;
Thy merit. Lord, my robe shall be.
Thy merit sliall atone for me.
And bring me near to God.
3 Then snatch me from eternal deatli.
The spirit of adoption breathe,
His consolation send :
By him some wo>'d of life impart.
And sweetly whisper to my heart,
"Thy Maker is thy Friend."
4 The Icing of terrors then would be
A welcome messenger to me,
That bids me come away ;
Unclogg'd by earth or earthly things,
I'd mount upon his sable wings
To everlasting day.

And daj'S are dark and friends are few,
On liim I lean who not in vain
Experienced every human pain;
He sees my wants, allays my fears,
And counts and treasures up my tears.

Turn not, O Lord ! thy guests away.

1 As OFT, with worn and weary feet.
We tread earth's rugged valley o'er.
The thought— how comforting and sweet!
Christ trod this very path before!
Our wants and weaknesses he knows
From life's first dawning to its close.
2 Do sickness, feebleness or pain
Or sorrow in our path appear.
The recollection will remain.
More deeply did he suffer here :
His life, how truly sad and brief.
Filled up with sufTering and With grief!
3 If Satan tempt our hearts to stray,
And whisper evil thirigs 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.
4 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 ine
With pity, love and syjnpathy.

How my soul longs after thee !
When, my best, my dearest Friend!
Shall our separation end?

Without thee I find no peace ;
'Tis my constant cry to thee,
Jesus, Jesus! visit me.

'Tis thy Saviour; hear his word;
Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee:

And when wounded healed thy wound;
Sought thee wandering, set thee right.
Turned thy darkness into light.
3 " Can a woman's tender care
Cease toward the child she bare?
Yes, she may forgetful be,
Yet will I remember thee.

Higher than the heights above,
Deeper than the depths beneath.
Free and faithful, strong as death.
5 "Thou shalt see my glory soon,
When the work of grace is done;
Partner of my throne shalt be;
Say, poor sinner! lovest thou me?"

That my love is weak and faint;
Yet I love thee, and adore ;
Oh, for grace to love thee more I

Why this dull and lifeless frame?
Hardly, sure, can they be worse

3 Could my heart so hard remain,
Prayer a task and burden prove,
Every trifle give me pain.
If I knew a Saviour's love?

Should I grieve for what I feel
If I did not love at all ?
5 Lord! decide the doubtful case;
Thou who art thy people's Sun,
Shine upon thy work of grace.
If it be indeed begun.

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

Rest for those that weary be?
Then, my soul, put in thy claim ;
Sure that promise speaks to tiiee.

All polluted is my best;
But I weary am, I know.
And the weary long for rest.

Harassed with tormenting doubt,

Hourly crosses from without,

Sink I must without supply;
Sure upon the earth is none
Can more weary be than I.

Found a welcome resting-place;

And the flood increases fast ;

Lived that I might never die;

Deeper than the depths of sea,

Love that found me— wondrous thought!
Found me when I sought him not.

Balm to heal the smitten heart;
Peace that flows from sin forgiven,
Joy that lifts the soul to heaven ;
Faith and hope to walk with God,
In the way that Enoch trod.

Never king wore such a crown ;

Melts in deep contrition there;
By thy mighty grace renewed.

Not to live without the cross;
But the Saviour's power to know,
Sanctifying every Joss.
Trials must and will befall ;
But with humble faith to see
Love Inscribed upon them all,
This is happiness to me.
2 God in Israel sows the seeds
Of afHiction, pain and toil ;
These spring up and choke the weeds
Which would else o'erspread the soil.
Trials make the promise sweet.
Trials give new life to prayer;
Trials bring me to his feet,
Lay me low and keep me there.
3 Did I meet no trials here.
No chastisement by the way.
Might I not, with reason, fear
I should prove a castaway ?
Aliens may escape the rod,
Sunk in earthly, vain delight.
But the true-born child of God
Must not, would not, if he might.

On no other arm but thine

1 Lord ! I know thy grace is nigh me,
Thee thyself I cannot see ;
Jesus, Master! pass not by me;
Son of David ! pity me.
2 While I sit in weary blindness,
Longing for the blessed light,
Many taste thy loving-kindness;
" Lord ! I would receive my sight."
3 I would see thee and adore thee.
And thy word the power can give;
Hear the sightless soul implore thee;
Let me see thy face and live.
4 Ah ! what touch is this that thrills me?
What this I urst of strange delight?
Lo! the rapturous vision fills me !
This is .lesus ! this is sight !
5 Room, ye saints that throng behind him !
Let me follow in the way ;
I will teach the blind to find him
Who can turn their night to day.

1 Light of those whose dreary dwelling
Borders on the shades of death.
Come, and, by thyself revealing,
Dissipate the clouds beneath.
2 Thou, new heaven and earth's Creator!
In our deepest darkness rise;
Scattering all the night of nature,
Pouring day upon our eyes.
144
3 Still we wait for thy appearing;
Life and joy thy beams impart.
Chasing all our fears, and cheering
Every poor, benighted heart.
4 Conae, extend thy wonted favor
To our ruined, guilty race ;
Come, thou blest, exalted Saviour!
Come, apply thy saving grace.
5 By thine all-atoning merit
Every burdened soul release;
By the teachings of thy Spirit
Guide us into perfect peace.

1 OxK there is above all others
Well deserves the nanie of Friend;
His is love beyond a brother's,
Costly, free -.nd knows no end.
2 Which of all our friends to save us
Could or would have shed his blooil?
But our .Saviour 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 raisod,
He rejoices in the same.
4 Oh, for grace our hearts to soften !
Teacli us. Lord! at length to love;
We, alas ! forget too often
What a Friend we have above.

1 Hail, my ever blessed Jesus !
Only thee I wish to sing;
To my soul thy name is precious.
Thou my Prophet, Priest and King:
Oh, what mercy flows from heaven !
Oh, wl»at joy and happiness !
Love I much ? I 've much forgiven ;
I 'm a miracle of grace.
2 Once with Adam's race in ruin,
Unconcerned in sin, I lay ;
Swift destruction still pursuing,
Till my Saviour passM by :
Witness, all ye host of heaven !
My Redeemer's tenderness;
Love I much ? I 've much forgiven ;
I 'm a miracle of grace.
3 Shout, ye bright angelic choir !
Praise the Lamb enthroned above;
Whilst, astonished, I admire
God's free grace and boundless love;
That blest moment I received hini
Filled my soul with joy and peace;
Love I much ? I 've much forgiven ;
I 'm a miracle of grace.

Welcome to this heart of mine;
Lord ! I make a full surrender.
Every power and thought be thine;
Thine entirely.
Through eternal ages thine.

Earth and hell will disappear ;
Or in vain attempt possession,
When they find the Lord is near;
Shout, O Zion !
Shout, ye saints! the Lord is here.

1 The Lord is my Shepherd; no want shall I
know;

He leadeth my soul where the still waters
flow.
Restores me when wandering, redeems
when oppressetl.
2 Through the valley and shadow of death
though I stray.
Since thou art my Guardian, no evil I fear;
Thy rod shall defend me, thy statf be my
stay;
No harm can befall with my Comforter
near.
3 In the midst of affliction my table is spread;
With blessings unmeasured my cup run-
neth o'er;
With perfume and oil thou anointest my
head;
Oh, what shall I ask of thy providence
more ?
4 Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God !
Still follow my steps till I meet thee above;
I seek, by the path which my forefathers trod
Through the land of their sojourn, thy
kingdom of love.

1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the
Lord,
Is laid for your faith in his excellent word!
What more can he say than to you he hatli
said,
You who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?
2 When through flery 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.
3 E'en down to old age all my people shall
prove
My sov'reign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And when hoary hairs shall their temples
adorn,
lake lambs they shall still in my bosom be
borne.
4 The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose
I will not, I will not desert to his foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to
shake,
I'll never, no, never, no, never, forsake.

1 Begone, unbelief, my Saviour is near.
And for my relief lie will surely appear;
By prayer let me wrestle, and he will per-
form ;
With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the
storm.
2 Though dark be my way, thou. Lord ! art my
guide ;
'T is mine to obey, 't is thine to provide ;
Though cisterns be broken and creatures all
fail.
The word thou hast spoken shall surely pre-
vail.
3 Since all that I meet shall work for my good.
The bitter is sweet, the medicine food:
Though painful at present, 't will cease before

And then oh how pleasant the conqueror's

1 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, was 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 the sweet
name ;
My guilty fears banished, with boldness I
came
To drink at the fountain life-giving and free:
Jehovah, my Saviour, is all things to me.
•1 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 !
5 E'en treading the valley, the shadow of
death.
This watchword shall rally my faltering
breath ;
For while from life's fever my God sets me
free,
Jehovah, my Saviour, my death-song shall
be!

Since thou, the Most Mighty, my Helper, art

1 I LAY my sius on Jesus,
The spotless Lamb of God;
He bears them all, and frees us
From the accursed load ;
I bring my guilt to Jesus,
To wash my crimson stains
White in his blood most precious,
Till not a spot remains.
2 I lay my wants on Jesus;
All fullness dwells in him ;
He heals all my diseases,
He doth my soul redeem;
I lay my griefs on Jesus,
My burdens and my cares;
He from tliem all releases.
He all my sorrows shares.
3 I long to be like Jesus,
Meek, loving, lowly, mild;
I long to be like Jesus,
The Father's holy child;
I long to be with Jesus
Amid the heavenly throng.
To sing, with saints, his praises,
To learn tlie angels' song.

1 In heavenly love abiding.
No change my heart shall fear.
And safe is such confiding,
For nothing changes here;
The storm may roar without me.
My heart may low be laid.
But God is round about me.
And can I be dismayed ?
2 Wherever he may guide me,
No want shall turn me back;
My Shepherd is beside me.
And nothing can I lack ;
His wisdom ever waketh,
His sight is never dim;
He knows the way he taketh.
And I will walk with him.

Whicli yet I have not .seen ;
Bright skies will soon be o'er me
Where darkest clouds have been;

My Saviour lias my treasure.
And he will walk with me.

Th' eternal hills beyond the skies;.
Thence all her help mj^ soul derives,
There my almighty Refuge lives.
2 He lives— the everlasting God
That built the world, that .spread the flood;
The heavens with all their hosts he made,
And the dark regions of the dead.
3 He guides our feet, he guards our way;
His morning smiles bless all the day;
He spreads the evening veil, and keeps
The silent hours while Israel sleeps.
4 Israel, a name divinely blest.
May rise secure, securely rest;
Thy holy Guardian's wakeful ej-es
Admit no slumber nor surprise.
5 Should earth and hell with malice burn.
Still thou Shalt go, and still return,
Safe in the Lord ; his heavenly care
Defends thy life from every snare.

From world to world the joy shall ring:
The Lord omnipotent is King!

Resist his will, distrust his care?
Holy and true are all his ways;
Let every creature speak his praise.
3 The Lord is King ! exalt your strains.
Ye saints! your God, your Father, reigns;
One Lord, one empire, all secures;
He reigns, and life and death are yours.

His justice guards his holy law;

His truth and promise seal the grace.
3 Through all his works his wisdom shines,

His power is sovereign to fulfill

Round the whole earth, and never stand;
So, when thy truth began its race,

Till through the world thy truth has run.
Till Christ has all the nations blest
That see the light or feel the sun.

In souls renewed and sins forgiven ;

And make thy word my guide to heaven.

Are to iny God distinctly known ;
He knows the words I mean to speak
Ere from my opening lips they break.

On every side I find thy hand;
Awake, asleep, at home, abroad,
I am surrounded still with God.
4 Amazing knowledge, vast and great!
What large extent! what lofty height!
My soul, with all the powers I boast,
Is in the boundless prospect lost.

Where'er I rove, where'er I rest.
Nor let my weaker passions dare
Consent to sin, for God is there.

How firm his trutli, how large his grace!
He takes his mercy for his throne,
And thence he malces his glories known.
2 Not half so high his power hath spread
The starry heavens above our head,
As his rich love exceeds our praise —
Exceeds the highest hopes we raise.
3 Not half so far hath nature placed
The rising morning from the west.
As his forgiving gi-ace removes
The daily guilt of those he loves.
4 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 !
5 But his eternal love is sure
To aJl the saints, and shall endure;
P'rom age to age his truth shall reign,
Nor children's children hope in vain.

And views the nations from afar,
Let everlasting praises fly,
And tell how large his bounties are.

Bestows his counsels and his cares.

He hears us in the mournful hour,
And helps us bear the heavy load.

And marked the footsteps of thy grace.

Come, let us all exalt his name;

My secret groanings reached his ears,

And calmed the tumult of my fears.

With heavenly joy their faces shine;
A beam of mercy from the skies
Fills them with light and joy divine.

Oh, fear and love him, all his saints!
Taste of his grace and trust his word.

Though waters roar and troubled be.
And mountains, with their swelling, shake.

Make glad the city of our God,
The tents where heavenly glory beams,
Where God most high hath his abode.

And slie shall nevermore be moved ;
Her God shall early give her aid.
As he her help hath ever proved.

Why should I cleave to things below,

Your streams had e'en conveyed me there.

That warned me of that dark abyss,
That drew me from those treacherous seas,
And bade me seek superior bliss.

1 I ASKED the Lord that I might grow
In faith and love and every grace,
Miglit more of liis salvation know.
And seek more earnestly his face.
2 'T was he who taught me thus to pray,
And he, I trust, has answered prayer;
But it lias been in such a way
As almost drove me to despair.
3 I hoped that in some favored hour
At once he 'd answer my request.
And by his love's constraining power
Subdue my sins and give me rest.
4 Instead of this, he made me feel
The hidden evils of my heart,
And let the angry powers of hell
Assault my soul in every part.
5 Yea, more, with his own hand he seemed
Intent to aggravate my woe.
Crossed all the fair designs I schemed.
Blasted my gourds and laid me low.
6 "Lord! why is this?" I trembling cried:
" Wilt thou pursue thy worm to death ?'
"'Tis in this way," tlie Lord replied,
"I answer prayer for grace and faith.
7 "These inward trials I employ
From self and pride to set thee free.
And break thy schemes of earthly joy.
That thou mayest seek thine all in me."

Why doth thy love so long forget

To drive me from thy feet?

My groans to reach thine ear.
2 Great God ! should thy severer eye
And thine impartial hand
Mark and revenge iniquity,
No mortal flesh could stand.
S But there are pardons with my God
For crimes of high degree ;
Thy Son hath bought them with his blood
To draw us near to thee.
4 I wait for thy salvation, Loi'd !
With strong desires I wait;
My soul, invited by thy word,
Stands watching at thy gate.
5 Just as the guards that keep the night
Long for the morning slties,
Watch the first beams of breaking light.
And meet them with their eyes,
6 So waits my soul to see thy grace;
And more intent than they,
Meets the first openings of thy face,
And finds a brighter day.
7 Then in the Lord let Israel trust,
Let Israel seek his face;
The Lord is good as well as just.
And plenteous in his grace.

For sinners long enslaved ;
The great Redeemer is his Son,
And Israel shall be saved.

The Saviour died for mc.
3 Mid trials heavy to be borne,
When mortal strength is vain,
A heart with grief and anguish torn,
A body racked with pain ;
i Ah ! what could give the sufferer rest,
Bid every murmur tlee.
But this the witness in my breast
That Jesus died for me?
5 And when thine awful voice commands
This body to decay,
And life, in its last lingering sands.
Is ebbing fast away,
6 Then, though it be in accents weak.
And faint and tremblingly,
Oh, give me strength in deatli to speak,
"My Saviour died for me."
1 Mv God! thy service well demands
The remnant of my days;
Why was this fleeting breath renewed
But to renew thy praise?
2 Thine arm of everlasting love
Did this weak frame sustain,
When life was hovering o'er the grave,
And naluie sunk with pain.
3 Calmly 1 bowed my fainting head
On thy dear faithful breast.
Pleased to obey my Father's call
To his eternal rest.
4 Into thy hands, my f^aviour, God I
Did I my soul resign.
In firm dependence on that truth
Which made salvation mine.
5 Back from the borders of the grave
At thy command I come.
Nor would I urge a speedier flight
To my celestial home.
6 W^iere thou appointest my abode
There would I choose to be.
For in thy presence, death is life,
And earth is heaven with thee.

1 Father ! whate'er of earthly bliss
Thy sovereign will denies,
Accepted at thy throne of grace,
Let this petition rise :
2 " Give me a calm, a thankful lieart.
From every murmur free;
The blessings of thy grace impart.
And make me live to thee.

iMy life and death attend ;
Thy presence through my iourney shine,
And crown my journey's end."

In silence soft and sweet;
And thou, my soul, sit gently down
At thy great Sovereign's feet.
2 Jehovah's awful voice is heard,
Yet gladly I attend ;
For, lo! the everlasting God
Proclaims himself my friend.
3 Harmonious accents to my soul
The sounds of peace convey ;
The tempest at his word subsides,
And winds and seas obey.
4 By all its joys I charge my heart
To grieve his love no more,
188
But charmed by melody divine,
To give its follies o'er.

1 O Loud! my best desire fulfill.
And help me to resign
Life, health and comfort to thy will.
And make thy pleasure mine.
2 Why should I shrink at thy command.
Whose love forbids my fears?
Or tremble at the gracious- hand
That wipes away my tears?
3 No; let me rather freely yield
What most I prize to thee,
■■ho never hast a good wit hheld,
Or wilt withhold, from me.
4 Thy favor all my journey through
Thou art engaged to grant ;
What else I want, or think I do,
'Tis better still to want.
5 Wisdom and mercy guide my way;
Shall I resist them both?
A poor blind creature of a day,
And crushed before the moth.
6 But, ah ! my inmost spirit cries.
Still bind me lo thy sway ;
Else the next cloud that veils my skies
Drives all these thoughts away.

1 Father! 1 know that all my life
Is portioned out for me ;
The changes that will surely come
I do not fear to see;
I ask thee for a present mind,
Intent on pleasing tliee.
2 I ask thee for a thoughtful love,
Througii constant watching wise,
To meet the glad with joyful smiles.
And wipe the weeping eyes;
A heart at leisure from itself
To soothe and sympathize.
3 I ask thee for the daily strength
To none that ask denied,
A mind to blend with outward life
While keeping at thy side.
Content to fill a little space.
If thou be glorified.
4 And if some things I do not ask
Among my blessings be,
I'd have my spirit filled the more
With grateful love to thee;
More careful not to serve thee much,
But please thee perfectly.
46^
1 Beyond, beyond that boundless sea.
Above that dome of sky,
Farther than tliouglit itself can flee.
Thy dwelling is on higli;
Yet dear tlie awful thought to me
That thou, my God! art nigh—
2 Art nigh, and yet my lab'ring mind
Feels after lliee in vain.
Thee in these works of power to find
Or to tiiy seat attain ;
Tliy messenger, the stormy wind.
Thy path, the trackless main.
3 These speak of thee with loud acclaim ;
Tliey tliunder forth thy praise.
The glorious lionor of tliy name.
The wonders of thy ways;
But thou art not in tempest-flame,
Nor in the solar blaze.
4 We hear thy voice when tliunders roll
Through the wild fields of air;
The waves obey thy dread control ;
Yet still tliou art not there:
Where sliall I find him, O my soul !
Who yet Is everywhere?
5 Oh, not in circling depth or height.
But in the conscious breast,
Present to faith, though veiled from sight,
There does his Spirit rest;
Oh, come, thou Presence infinite!
And make thy creature blest.

On my sinful head, O God!
Stay thy wrath, in mercy stay.
Lest I sink before its sway.

Heal me, for thy grace I seek ;
This my only plea I make.
Heal me for thy mercy's sake.

Shall proclaim thy power to save?
Lord! my sinking soul reprieve;
Speak, and I shall rise and live.

Stay my heart on thee alone.
Humble, holy, all resigned
To thy will— thy will be done!
Give me, Lord ! tlie perfect mind
Of thy well-beloved Son.
4 Counting gain and glory loss.
May I tread the path he trod ;
Die with .lesus on the cross,
Rise, with him, to thee, my God!

Lord ! that inercy came to me.

This emboldens me to plead ;

Canst thou let me sink at last?

1 Sometimes a light surprises
The Christian while he sings;
It is the Lord, who rises
With healing in his wings;
When comforts are declining,
He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining,
To cheer it after rain.
2 In holy contemplation
We sweetly then pursue
The theme of God's salvation,
And find it ever new ;
Set free from present sorrow,
We cheerfully can say,
Let the unknown to-morrow
Bring with it what it may,

3 It can bring with it nothing
But he will boar us through ;
Who gives the lilies clothing
Win clothe his people too;
Beneath the spreading heavens
No creature but is fed ;
And he who feeds the ravens
Will give his children bread.
4 Though vine nor fig tree neither
Their wonted fruit should bear.
Though all the fields sliould wither.
Nor flocks nor herds be tliere;
Yet God the same abiding.
His praise shall tune my voice,
For while in him confiding
I cannot but rejoice.

A Guide, a Comforter, bequeathed
With us to dwell.

A willing guest,
While he can find one humble heart
Wherein to rest.

1 Faith is a living power from heaven
Which grasps the promise God lias given,
A trust that cannot be o'erthrown,
Securely fixed on Christ alone.
2 Faith finds in Christ whate'er we need
To save and strengthen, guide and feed;
Strong in his grace, it joys to share
His cross, in hope his crown to wear.
3 Faith to the conscience whispers peace.
And bids the mourner's sighing cease;
By faith the children's riglit we claim.
And call upon our Father's name.
4 Faith feels the Spirit's kindling breath
In love and hope tliat conquer death;
Faith brings us to delight in God,
And blesses e'en his smiting rod.
5 Such faith in us, O God! implant.
And to our prayers thy favor grant
In Jesus Christ, thy saving Son,
Who is our fount of health alone.

Press onward to the heavenly goal,
The blessedness no foes destroy.

Far into distant worlds she pries.
And brings eternal glories near.

While faith inspires a heavenly raj-,
Though lions roar and tempests blow.

Nor tongues, nor gifts, nor fiery zeal

Where love inspires the breast;
Love is the brightest of the train.

Wliat endless glory shines!
For ever be thy name adored
For these celestial lines.

Exhaustless riches find-
Riches above what earth can grant,
And lasting as the mind.

Spreads heavenly peace around,
DOWNS.
And life and everlasting joys
Attend the blissful sound.
4 Oh, may these heavenly pages be
My ever d?ar delight.
And still new beauties may I see.
And still increasing light.

Be thou for ever near ;
Teach me to love thy sacred word.
And view my Saviour there.

1 Behold thy waiting servant, Lord!
Devoted to tiiy fear;
Remember and confirm thy word,
For all my hopes are there.
2 Hast thou not sent salvation down.
And promised quickening grace?
Does not my heart address thy throne?
And yet thy love delays.
3 Mine eyes for thy salvation fail ;
Oh, bear thy servant up;
Nor let the scoffing lips prevail
That dare reproach my hope.
4 Didst thou not raise my faith, O Lord?
Then let thy truth appear;
Saints shall rejoice in my reward,
And trust as well as fear.
534
1 Oh, that thy statutes every hour
Might dwell upon my mind!
Thence I derive a quickening power,
And daily peace I find.
2 To meditate thy precepts. Lord !
Shall be my sweet employ ;
My soul shall ne'er forget thy word;
Thy word is all my joy.
3 How would I run in thy commands
If thou my heart discharge
From sin and Satan's hateful chains,
And set my feet at large !
4 My lips with courage shall declare
Thy statutes and thy name; [hear,
I '11 speak thy word, though kings should
Nor yield to sinful shame.
535
1 The Spirit breathes upon the word,
And brings the truth to sight;
Precepts and promises afford
A sanctifying light.
2 A glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic, like the sun ;
It gives a light to every age —
It gives, but borrows none.
3 The hand that gave it still supplies
The gracious light and heat;
His truths upon the nations rise —
They rise, but never set.
4 Let everlasting thanks be thine
For such a bright display
As makes a world of darkness shine
"With beams of heavenly day.
5 My soul rejoices to pursue
The steps of him I love.
Till glory breaks upon my view
In brighter worlds above.

1 Blessed are the souls that hear and know
The gospel's joyful sound;
Peace shall attend the path they go,
And light their steps surround.
2 Their joy shall bear their spirits up
Through their Redeemer's name;
His righteousness exalts their hope,
Nor Satan dares condemn.

Strength and salvation gives;
Isi'ael ! thy King for ever reigns,

My lasting heritage;
There shall my noblest powers rejoice,
My warmest thoughts engage.
2 I'll read the hist'ries of thy love.
And keep thy laws in sight.
While through the promises I rove
With ever-fresh delight.
3 'Tis a broad land of wealth unknown.
Where springs of life arise;
Seeds of immortal bliss arc sown.
And hidden glory lies.
4 The best relief that mourners have,
It makes our sorrows blest ;
240
Our fairest hope beyond the grave.
And our eternal rest.

1 Oh, how I love thy holy law !
'Tis daily my delight;
And thence my nieditations draw
Divine advice by night.
2 My waking eyes prevent the day
To meditate thy word;
M.v soul with longing melts away
To hear thy gospel. Lord !
3 How doth thy word my heart eng.aget
How well employ my tongue !
And in my tiresome pilgrimage
Yields me a heavenly song.
4 Am I a stranger or at home?
'Tis my perpetual feast;
Not honey dropi)ing from the comb
So much allures the taste.
5 No treasures so enrich the mind,
Nor shall thy word be sold
For loads of silver well refined.
Nor he.aps of choicest gold.
6 When nature sinks and spirits droop,
Thy promises of grace
Are i)illars to support my hope.
And there I write thy praise.

1 How precious is the book divine
By inspiration given !
Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine
To guide our souls to heaven.
2 It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts
In this dark vale of tears;
Life, light and joy it still imparts,
And quells our rising fears.
3 This lamp through all the tedious night
Of life shall guide our way.
Till we behold the clearer light
Of an eternal day.
540
1 How shall the young secure their hearts
And guard their lives from sin ?
Thy word the choicest rules imparts
To keep the conscience clean.
2 When once it enters to the mind.
It spreads such light abroad
The meanest souls instruction find.
And raise their thoughts to God.
3 'Tis, like the sun, a heavenly light,
That guides us all the day.
And through the dangers of the night
A lamp to lead our way.
4 Thy precepts make me truly wise;
I hate the sinner's road;
16
I hate my own vain thoughts that rise.
But love thy law, my God!
5 Thy word is everlasting truth ;
How pure is every page !
That holy book shall guide our youth
And well support our age.
541
1 Laden with guilt and full of fears,
I fly to thee, my Lord !
And not a glimpse of hope appears
But in thy written word.
2 The volume of my Father's grace
Does all my grief assuage;
Here I behold my Saviour's face
Almost in every page.
3 Here consecrated water flows
To quench my thirst of sin ;
Here the fair tree of knowledge grows;
No danger dwells therein.
i. This is the judge that ends the strife
Where wit and reason fail;
My guide to everlasting life
Through all this gloomy vale.
5 Oh, may thy counsels, mighty God!
My roving feet command.
Nor I forsake the happy road
That leads to thy right hand.

1 God, in the gospel of his Son,
Makes liis eternal counsels known;
'Tis here his richest mercy shines.
And truth is drawn in fairest lines.
2 Here sinners of a humble frame
May taste his grace and learn his name,
May read in characters of blood
The wisdom, power and grace of God.
3 The prisoner here may break his chains;
The weary rest from all his pains;
The captive feel his bondage cease;
The mourner find the way of peace.
i Here faith reveals to mortal eyes
A brighter world beyond tlie skies;
Here shines the light which guides our way
From earth to realms of endless day.
5 Oh, grant us grace, almighty Lord!
To read and mark thy holy word;
Its truth with meekness to receive,
And by its holy precepts live.
543
1 Let everlasting glories crown
Thy head, my Saviour and my Lord !
Thy hands have brought salvation down.
And writ the blessings in tliy word.
2 In vain the trembling conscience seeks
Some solid ground to rest upon ;
With long despair the spirit breaks
Till we apply to Christ alone.
3 How well thy blessed truths agree!
How wise and holy thy commands!
Thy promises, how firm they be!
How firm our hope, our comfort stands!
4 Should all the forms that men devise
Assault my faith with treacherous art,
I'd call them vanity and lies,
And bind the gospel to my heart.

1 Ho, every one that thirsts! draw nigh;
'Tis God invites tlie fallen race;
Mercy and free salvation buy,
Buy wine and milk and gospel grace.
2 Nothing ye in exchange shall give,
Leave all you have and are behind ;
Freely the gift of God receive,
Pardon and peace in Jesus find.
3 Come to the living waters, come;
Sinners, obey your Maker's call;
Return, ye weary wanderers, home.
And find my grace is free for all.
547
1 Return, O wanderer, return,
And seek an injured Father's face;
Those warm desires that in thee burn
Were kindled by reclaiming grace.
2 Return, O wanderer, return.
And seek a Father's melting heart;
His pitying eyes thy grief discern.
His hand shall heal thine inward smart.
3 Return, O wanderer, return.
Thy Saviour bids thy spirit live;
Go to his bleeding feet, and learn
How freely Jesus can forgive.
4 Return, O wanderer, return.
And wipe away the falling tear;
'Tis God who says, "No longer mourn,"
'Tis mercy's voice invites thee near.
548
1 Come, weary souls with sin distressed,
The Saviour offers heavenly rest;
244
The kind, the gracious call obey.
And cast your gloomy fears away.
2 Here mercy's boundless ocean flows
To cleanse your guilt and heal your woes;
Pardon and life and endless peace;
How rich the gift, how free the grace!
3 Lord! we accept with thankful heart
The hope thy gracious words impart;
We come, with trembling, yet rejoice,
And bless the kind inviting voice.
4 Dear Saviour! let thy powerful love
Confirm our faith, our fears remove;
Oh, sweetly reign in every breast,
And guide us to eternal rest.
549
1 Why will ye waste on trifling cares
That life which God's compassion spares,
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 tliese pleas unite in vain?
3 Not so your eyes will always view
Those objects which you now pursue;
Not so will heaven and hell appear
When death's decisive hour is near.
4 Almighty God! thy grace impart;
Fix deep conviction on each heart;
Nor let us waste on trifling cares
That life wliich thy compassion spares.

Ye heavy-laden sinners, come;
I'll give you rest from all your toils.
And raise you to my heavenly home.
2 They shall And rest that learn of me ;
I'm of a meek and lowly mind;
But passion rages like the sea.
And pride is restless as the wind.
3 Blessed is the man whose shoulders take
My yoke, and bear it with delight;
My yoke is easy to his neck.
My grace shall make the burden light.
4 Jesus ! we come at thy command.
With faith and hope and humble zeal,
Resign our spirits to thy hand.
To mould and guide us at thy will.

1 Behold a Stranger at the door!
He gently knocks, has knocked before.
Has waited long, is waiting still;
You treat no other friend so ill.
2 Oh, lovely attitude! he stands
With melting heart and laden hands;
Oh, matchless kindness ! and he shows
This matchless kindness to his foes.
3 But will he prove a friend indeed?
He will, the very friend you need —
The Friend of sinners; yes, 'tis he,
With garments dyed on Calvary.
4 Rise, touched with gratitude divine.
Turn out his enemy and thine.
That soul destroying monster sin,
And let the heavenly Stranger in.
5 Admit him ere his anger burn.
His feet, departed, ne'er return;
Admit him, or the hour 's at hand
When at his door denied you'll stand.
552
1 Life is the time to serve the Lord,
The time t" ensure the great reward;
And while the lamp holds out to burn
The vilest sinner may return.
2 Life is the hour that God hath given
T' escape from hell and fly to heaven.
The day of grace ; and mortals may
Secure the blessings of the day.
3 The living know that they must die.
But all the dead forgotten lie;
Tlielr memory and their sense are gone,
Alike unknowing and unknown.
4 Then what my thoughts design to do.
My hands, with all your might pursue;
Since no device nor work is found.
Nor faith nor hope, beneath the ground.
5 There are no acts of pardon passed
In the cold grave to which we haste.
But darkness, death and long despair
Reign in eternal silence there.

What light and joy those leaves afford
To souls benighted and distressed!
Thy precepts guide my doubtful way,
Thy fear forbids my feet to stray,
Thy promise leads my heart to rest.
2 From the discoveries of thy law
The perfect rules of life I draw;
These are my study and delight;
Not honey so invites the taste.
Nor gold that hath the furnace passed
Appears so pleasing to the sight.

And warn me where my danger lies.
But 'tis thy blessed gospel. Lord !
That makes my guilty conscience clean.
Converts my soul, subdues my sin,
And gives a free but large reward.
4 Who knows the errors of his thoughts?
My God ! forgive my secret faults.
And from presumptuous sins restrain;
Accept my poor attempts of praise.
That I have read thy book of grace.
And book of nature,not in vain.

Lo! your Maker prostrate lies;
On the bloody tree behold him;
Hear him cry, before he dies:
"It is finished!"

i Lo! the incarnate God ascended
Pleads the merits of his blood;
Venture on him, venture wholly,
Let no other trust intrude;

Can do helpless sinners good.

While the blissful seats of heaven
Sweetly echo with his name;

Hath like a mountain rose;
I know his courts ; I '11 enter in,
Whatever may oppose.
3 " Prostrate I "11 lie before his throne,
And there my guilt confess;
I '11 tell him I 'm a wretch undone
Without his sovereign grace.
4 " I '11 to the gracious King approach
Whose sceptre pardon gives;
Perhaps he may command my touch,
And then the suppliant lives.
5 "Perhaps he will admit my plea.
Perhaps will hear my prayer;
But if I perish, I will pray.
And perish only there.
6 " I can but perish if I go,
I am resolved to try ;
For if I stay away, I know
I must for ever die."

But see, there yet is room —
3 Room in the Saviour's bleeding heart;
There love and pity meet;
Nor will he bid the soul depart
That trembles at his feet.
4 Oh, come, and with his children taste
The blessings of his love,
While hope attends the sweet repast
Of nobler Joys above.
5 There, with united heart and voice,
Before the eternal throne.
Ten thousand thousand souls rejoice
In ecstasies unknown.
6 And yet ten thousand thousand more
Are welcome still to come;
Ye longing souls, the grace adore,
Approach, there yet is room.

Fulfill thy kind design.

Of old that went and came?
But, Lord! thy church is praying yet,
A thousand years the same.

And her foundations strong;
We hear within the solemn voice
Of her unending song.
3 For not like kingdoms of the world
Thy holy Church, O God!
Though earthquake shocks are threatening

And tempests are abroad.
4 Unshaken as eternal hills.
Immovable she stands,
A mountain that shall (ill the earth,
A house not made by hands.

1 O Lord of hosts ! how lovely is
The place where thou dost dwell!
The tabernacles of thy grace
In pleasantness excel.
2 My soul doth long, yea, even faint,
Jehovah's courts to see;
My heart and flesh are crying out,
O living God ! for thee.
3 Blest all who dwell within thy house;
They ever give thee praise;
And blest the man whose strength thou art,
In whose heart are thy ways;
4 Who, passing on through Baca's vale.
Do make of it a well ;
And copious rains descending there
The pools with water fill.
5 So they from strength unwearied go
.Still forward unto strength;
And they in Zion shall appear
Before the Lord at length.
571
1 The Lord of glory is my light,
And my salvation too;
God is my strength, nor will 1 fear
What all my foes can do.
2 One privilege my heart desires;
Oh, grant me an abode
Among the churches of thy saints,
The temples of my God.
3 There shall I otTer my requests.
And see thy beauty still,
Shall hear thy messages of love.
And there inquire thy will.
4 When troubles rise and storms appear,
There may his children hide;
God has a strong pavilion where
He makes my soul abide.
5 Now shall my head be lifted high
Above my foes around,
And songs of joy and victory
Within thy temple sound.
572
1 My soul, how lovely is the place
To which thy God resorts!
'Tis heaven to see his smiling face.
Though in his earthly courts.
2 There the great Monarch of the skies
His saving power displays.
And light breaks in upon our eyes
With kind and quickening rays.
3 With his rich gifts the heavenly Dove
Descends and Alls the place.
While Christ reveals his wondrous love,
And sheds abroad his grace.
4 There, mighty God! thy words declare
The secrets of thy will,
And still we seek thy mercy there.
And sing thy praises still.

Stands like a palace built for God

And sits in judgment there.

While life or breath remains;

Fill my soul with humble awe,

Life and immortality.

Her hymns of love and praise.

To Zion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield,

Makes thee his blest abode.

To watch thy flock, thy flock to feed.

Heal all our breaches, grant us peace;
Rouse us from sloth, our hearts inflame
With ardent zeal for Jesus' name.
4 May young and old thy word receive,
Dead sinners hear thy voice and live.
The wounded conscience healing flnd.
And joy refresh each drooping mind.
5 May aged saints matured with grace
Abound in fruits of holiness;
And when transplanted to the skies,
Maj- younger in their stead arise.
6 Thus we our suppliant voices raise.
And, weeping, sow the seed of praise,

In humble hope that thou wilt hear
Thy ministers' and people's prayer.

And thine ordained servants bless ;

Let all thy church's pastors be.

Firmness and meekness from above,
To bear thy people in their heart.
And love the souls whom thou dost love;
4 To love and pray and never faint.
By day and night their guard to keep.
To warn the sinner, form the saint.
To feed thy lambs and tend thy sheep.

They may in hope their charge resign;
So. when their Master shall appear.
They may with crowns of glory shine.

Does God's own house invade?

Be numbered witli the dead?

And mute th' instructive tongue,
3 Th' eternal Shepherd still survives,
New comfort to impart ;
His eye still guides us, and his voice
Still animates our heart.

Shine in their dying Lord.

And filled a Saviour's hands.

In rapture or in woe.

Cast thy dreams of ease away ;
Thou art in the midst of foes,
Therefore watch and pray.

Wear it ever, night and day;
Near thee lurks the evil one,
Therefore watch and pray.

It is he who speaks the word,
Therefore watch and pray.

Holy men of olden day
Won the palms and crowns they wear.
Therefore watch and pray.

Pray, for God must speed thy way ;
Narrow is the road and steep.
Therefore watch and pray.

Through an influence all divine.

1 Ye Christian lieralds, go, proclaim
Salvation in Emmanuel's name;
To distant climes the tidings bear,
And plant the rose of Sharon there.

"With flaming zeal your breasts inspire,
Bid raging winds their fury cease.
And calm the savage breast to peace.
3 And when our labors all are o'er.

Meet, with the blood-bought throng to fall,
And crown our Jesus Lord of all.

1 O Israel,! to thy tents repair;
Why thus secure on hostile ground?
Thy King comniands thee to bewai'e,
For many foes thy camp surround.
2 The trumpet gives a martial strain ;
O Israel ! gird thee for the flght;
Arise, the combat to maintain.
And put thine enemies to flight.

Awake, be vigilant, be brave;
The coward, and the sluggard too.
Must wear the fetters of the slave.

A kingdom waits thee in the skies;
With such a hope, shall Israel flee.
Or yield, through weariness, the prize?

And slumber on through life's short day,
While Israel to the conflict goes.
And bears the glorious prize away.

Outcasts from Zion's hallowed ground.
Oh, why should Israel's sons, once blessed,
Still roam the scorning world around ?

Back to thy fold the wanderers bring;
Teach them to seek thy slighted grace.
And hail in Christ their promised King.

Which hides their Shiloh's glorious light.
The severed olive branch again
Firm to its parent stock unite.
4 Hail, glorious day, expected long, [pour.
When Jew and Greek one prayer shall
With eager feet one temple throng.
With grateful pcaise one God adore.

And every knee before him bend?

The known and unknown worlds obey,
Now give the kingdom to thy Son,
Extend his power, exalt his throne.
2 Thy sceptre well becomes his hands,
All heaven submits to his commands;
His justice shall avenge the poor.
And pride and rage prevail no more.

And treads th' oppressor in the dust;
His worship and his fear shall last
Till hours and years and time be past.

So shall he send his influence down ;
His grace on fainting souls distills
Like heavenly dew on thirsty hills.

The shades of overspreading death
Revive at his first dawning light,
And deserts blossom at the sight.

Dressed in the robes of joy and praise ;

Thy voice their idols shall confound,
And cast their altars to the ground.

Vain sacrifice for human guilt,

The blood that flowed from Jesus' side.

And hasten to their home.

And God his works destroy.
With songs thy ransomed shall return.

In every land unfurled;

2 What though th' embattled legions
Of earth and hell combine?
His power throughout their regions
Shall soon resplendent shine;
Ride on, O Lord! victorious,
Immanuel, Prince of peace!
Thy triumph shall be glorious.
Thine empire still increase.
3 Yes, thou shalt reign for ever,
O .Tesua, King of kings!
Thy light, thy love, thy favor.
Each ransomed captive sings;
The isles for thee are waiting.
The deserts learn thy praise.
The hills and valleys, greeting.
The song responsive raise.

1 From Greenland's icy mountains,
From India's coral strand,
Wiiere Afric's sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand,
From many an ancient river.
From many a palmy plain,
They call us to deliver
Their land from error's chain.
2 What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle,
Though every prospect pleases.
And only man is vile?
In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are sf rown ;
The heathen, in his blindness.
Bows down to wood and stone.
3 Shall we whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high.
Shall we to men benighted
The lamp of life deny ?
Salvation ! oh, salvation !
The joyful sound proclaim,
Till earth's remotest nation
Has learned Messiah's name.

4 Waft, waft, ye winds! his story,
And you, ye waters ! roll.
Till, like a sea of glory.
It spreads from pole to pole ;
Till o'er our ransomed nature
The Lamb for sinners slain.
Redeemer, King, Creator,
In bliss returns to reign.

1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed,
Great David's greater Son ;
Hail, in the time appointed.
His reign on earth begun ;
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free.
To take away transgression.
And rule in equity.
2 He comes with succor speedy
To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy.
And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing.
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying.
Were precious in his sight.
MISSIONS.
3 He snail come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth,
And love, joy, hope, like flowers,
Spring in his path to birth;
Before him on the mountains
Shall peace, the herald, go.
And righteousness in fountains
From hill to valley flow.
4 For him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend.
His kingdom still increasing —
A kingdom without end;
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove ;
His name shall stand for ever;
That name to us is Love.

1 When, Lord ! to this our western land,
Led by thy providential hand.
Our wandering fathers came.
Their ancient homes, their friends in youth.
Sent forth the heralds of thy truth
To keep them in thy name.
2 Then through our solitary coast
The desert features soon were lost;
Thy temples then arose;
Our shores, as culture made them fair,
Were hallowed by thy rites, by prayer.
And blossomed as the rose.

3 And oh, may we repay this debt
To regions solitary yet.
Within our spreading land ;
Therp brethren from our common home
Still westward, like our fathers, roam,
Still guided by thy hand.
4 Saviour! we own this debt of love;
Oh, shed thy Spirit from above.
To move each Christian breast ;
Till heralds shall thy truth proclaim,
And temples rise to fix thy name,
Through all our desert west.

Thus deriving from their banner
Light by night and shade by day,
Safe they feed upon the manna
Which he gives them when they pray.

Oh, let them ne'er forgotten be;

Must shortly fade away.

Of man's maturer age
May sliake the soul with sorrow's power
And stormy passion's rage.

3 Gethsemane can I forget ?
Or there thy conflict see.
Thine agony and bloody sweat.
And not remember thee?
4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes,
And rest on Calvary,
O Lamb of God, my sacrifice !
I must remember thee—
5 Remember thee, and all thy pains.
And all thy love to me;
Yea, while a breath, a pulse, remains.
Will I remember thee.
G And when these failing lips grow dumb.
And mind and mem'ry flee,
Wlien in thy kingdom thou shalt come,
Jesus ! remember me.

1 How condescending and how kind
Was God's eternal 8on !
Our misery reached his heavenly mind,
And pity brought him down.
2 He sunk beneatli 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 lie reigns exalted high.
His love is still as great;
Well he remembers Calvary,
Nor lets his saints forget.
5 Here let our hearts begin to melt
While we his death record,
And with our joy for pardoned guilt
Mourn that we pierced the Lord.
(>83
1 In memor5' of the Saviour's love
We keep the sacred feast
Wiiere every humble, contrite lieart
Is made a welcome guest.
304
2 By faith we take the Bread of life
With which our souls are fed.
And cup in token of his blood
Tliat was for sinners shed.
3 Under his banner thus we sing
The wonders of his love,
And thus anticipate by faith
The heavenly feast above.
684
1 If human kindness meets return
And owns the grateful tie.
If tender thoughts within us burn
To feel a friend is nigh,
2 Oh, shall not warmer accents tell
The gratitude we owe
To him who died our fears to quell,
Our more than orphan's woe?
3 While yet his anguished soul surveyed
Tliose pangs he would not tlee,
What love his latest words displayed !
•' Meet and remember me!"
4 Remember thee, thy death, thy sliame,
Our sinful hearts to share!
O mem'ry ! leave no other name
But his recorded there.

1 How sweet and awful is the place
With 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
Tliat sweetly forced 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.
6 We long to see thy churches full,
That all the chosen race
May, with one voice and heart and soul.
Sing thy redeeming grace.
686
1 The promise of my Father's love
Shall stand for ever good;
He said, and gave his soul to death
And sealed the grace with blood.
20
2 To this dear covenant of thy word
I set my worthless name;
I seal th' engagement to my Lord,
And make my humble claim.
3 I call that legacy my own
Which Jesus did bequeath ;
'T was purchased with a dying groan,
And ratified in death.
4 The light and strength, the pard'ning grace,
And glory, shall be mine;
My life and soul, my heart and flesh
And all my powers are thine.
687
1 My God! accept my heart this day.
And make it always thine.
That I from thee no more may stray,
No more from thee decline.
2 Before the cross of him who died.
Behold, I prostrate fall ;
Let every sin be crucified.
Let Christ be all in all.
3 May the dear blood once shed for me
My blest atonement prove.
That I from first to last may be
The purchase of thy love.
4 Let every thought and work and word
To thee be ever given ;
Then life shall be thy service, Lord!
And death the gate of heaven.

Mercy's streams in streams of blood;

Low before his cross to lie,

While I see divine compassion
Floating in his languid eye.
4 Here it is I find my heaven.
While upon the Lamb I gaze;
Love I much ? I 'm much forgiven ;
I 'm a miracle of grace.
5 Love and grief my heart dividing,
With my tears his feet I bathe;
Constant still in faith abiding.
Life deriving from his death.

Flowing from his piercSd side ;

Gives his sacred blood for wine,
Gives his body for the feast,

Through the wave that drowns the foe.

1 Not worthy, Lord ! to gather up tlie crumbs
With trembling hand that from thy table fall,
A weary, heavy-laden sinner comes
To plead thy promise and obey thy call.
2 I am not worthy to be thought thy child,
Nor sit the last and lowest at thy board;
Too long a wanderer and too oft beguiled,
I only ask one reconciling word.
3 One word from thee, my Lord ! one smile, one look,
And I could face the cold, rough world again,
And with that treasure in my heart could brook
The wrath of devils and the scorn of men.
4 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.
5 I hear thy voice; thou bid'st me come and rest;
I come, I kneel, 1 clasp thy pierced feet;
Thou bid'st me take my place, a welcome guest,
Among thy saints, and of thy banquet cat.

My prayer can only lose itself in thee;
Dwell thou for ever in my heart, and there,

Brighten thou my Sabbath morning;
Witli thy joyous sunshine blest,
Happy is my day of rest.

To thy living waters lead me;

And with grace and mercy feed ine;
Bless thy word that it may prove
Ricli in fruit that thou dost love.

That upon my lips is lying;
Clear the shadows from mine eyes,
That, from every error flying.
No strange fire within me glow
That thine altar doth not Itnow.

Rapt a while from earth away.
All my Boul to thee upspringing,
Have a foretaste only given
How they worship thee in heaven.

Build a paradise within me;
Oh, reveal thyself to me.
Blessed Love ! who diedst to win me ;
Fed from thine exhaustless urn,
Pure and bright my lamp shall burn.

For the day to God is holy;

The dawn of thy returning day;
My thoughts, O God ! ascend to thee,
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.
3 Then, to thy courts when I repair,
My soul shall rise on joyful wing,
The wonders of thy love declare.
And join the strains which angels sing.

Another Sabbath is begun ;
Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest.
Improve the day thy God hath blessed.

As grateful incense to the skies.
And draw from heaven that sweet repose
Wiiich none but he that feels it knows.
^ This heavenly calm within the breast
Is the dear pledge of glorious rest
Which for the church of God remains—
The end of cares, the end of pains.

In holy pleasures, pass away;
How sweet the Sabbath thus to spend

And we are nearer to the tomb —
Nearer to join the heavenly song
Or hear the last eternal doom.
2 Sweet is the light of Sabbath eve,
And soft the sunbeams lingering there;
For these blest hours the world I leave,
Wafted on wings of faith and prayer.
3 The time how lovely and how still !
Peace shines and smiles on all below.
The plain, the stream, the wood, the liill,
All fair with evening's setting glow.
4 Season of rest! the tranquil soul
Feels the sweet calm, and melts in love,
And while these sacred moments roll
Faith sees a smiling heaven above.
5 Nor will our days of toil be long,
Our pilgrimage will soon be trod;
And we shall join the ceaseless song.
The endless Sabbath of our God.

And own as grateful sacrifice
The songs which from the desert rise.
2 Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord ! we love,
But there 's a nobler rest above ;
To that our laboring souls aspire
With ardent pangs of strong desire.
3 No more fatigue, no more distress,
Nor sin, nor hell, shall reach the place;
No groans to mingle with the songs
Which warble from immortal tongues;
4 No rude alarms of raging foes.
No cares to break the long repose ;
No midnight shade, no clouded sun.
But sacred, high, eternal noon.
5 O long-expected day, begin,
Dawn on these realms of woe and sin;
Fain would we leave this weary road.
And sleep in death to rest witli God.

Come, bear our thoughts from earth away;
Now let our noblest passions rise
With ardor to their native skies.

With rays of liglit upon us shine.
And let our waiting souls be blessed
On this sweet day of sacred rest.
3 Then, when our Sabbaths here are o'er,
And we arrive on Canaan's shore.
With all the ransomed we shall spend
A Sabbath which shall never end.

Exceeds a thousand days of mirth.

God is our shield, he guards our way
From all th' assaults of hell and sin,
From foes without and foes within.
3 All needful grace will God bestow,
And crown that grace with glory too;
He gives us all things, and withholds
No real good from upright souls.

The glorious hosts of heaven obey.
And devils at thy presence flee,
Blest is the man that trusts in thee.

With radiant glory crowned,
Our joyful eyes behold him sit
And smile on all around.
4 To him their prayers and cries
Each humble soul presents;
He listens to their broken sighs.
And grants them all their wants.
5 To them his sovereign will
He graciously imparts,
And in return accepts, with smiles,
The tribute of their hearts.

To make our graces grow.

In faith present our prayers,
And in the presence of our Lord
Unbosom all our cares.

Our fainting hope to raise,
And pour thy blessing from above,
That we may reader praise.

1 Again the Lord of life and light
Awakes the kindling ray,
Unseals the eyelids of the morn.
And pours increasing day.
2 Oh what a night was that which wrapt
A guilty world in gloom !
Oh what a sun which broke this day
Triumphant from the tomb!

3 This day be grateful homage paid.
And loud hosannas sung;
Let gladness dwell in every heart,
And praise on every tongue.
4 Ten thousand differing lips shall join
To hail this welcome morn.
Which scatters blessings from its wings
On nations yet unborn.

1 O DAY of rest ana gladness,
O day of joy and light,
O balm of care and sadness.
Most beautiful, most bright!
On thee the high and lowly
Before the eternal throne
Sing, Holy, Holy, Holy,
To God the three in one.
2 On thee at the creation
The light first had its birth;
On thee for our salvation
Christ rose from depths of earth ;
On thee our Lord victorious
The Spirit sent from heaven ;
And thus on thee most glorious
A triple light was given.
3 Thou art a cooling fountain
In life's dry dreary sand ;
From thee, like Pisgah's mountain,
We view our promised land ;
322
A day of sweet refection,
A day of holy love,
A day of resurrection
From earth to things above.
4 To-day on weary nations
The heavenly manna (alls;
To holy convocations
The silver trumpet calls;
Where gospel-light is glowing
With pure and radiant beams.
And living water flowing
Witli soul-refreshing streams,
5 New graces ever gaining
From this our day of rest.
We reach the rest remaining
To spirits of the blest;
To Holy Ghost be praises,
To Father and to Son ;
The church her voice upraises
To thee, blest three in one!

1 On this day, the first of days,
God the Father's name we praise;
Who, creation's Fount and Spring,
Did the world from darkness bring.
2 On this day tii' eternal Son
Over death his triumph won;
On this day the Spirit came
With his gifts of living flame,
3 Oh, that fervent love to-day
May in every heart have sway,
Teaching us to praise aright
God, tlie Source of life and light.
4 Father ! who didst fashion me
Image of thyself to be,
Fill me with thy love divine,
Let my every thought be thine.
5 Holy Jesus ! may I be
Dead and buried here with thee;
And, by love inflamed, arise
Unto thee a sacrifice.
6 Thou who dost all gifts Impart,
Shine, sweet Spirit! in my heart;
Best of gifts, thyself, bestow;
Make me burn thy love to know.

1 Eke another Sabbath's close,
Ere again we seek repose.
Lord ! our songs ascend to thee
At thy feet we bow the knee.
2 For the mercies of this day,
For this rest upon our way.
Thanks to thee alone be given,
Lord of earth and King of heaven !
3 Cold our services have been.
Mingled every prayer with sin,
But thou canst and wilt forgive ;
By thy grace alone we live.
4 Whilst this thorny path we tread.
May thy love our footsteps lead ;
When our journey here is past,
May we rest with thee at last!
5 Let these earthly Sabbaths prove
Foretastes of our joys above.
While their steps thy pilgrims bend
To the rest which knows nf) end.

And let your lights appear ;
The evening is advancing,
And darker night is near ;
The Bridegroom is arising.
And soon he will draw nigh;
Up! pray and watch and wrestle;
At midnight comes the cry.
2 The watchers on the mountain
Proclaim the Bridegroom near;
Go meet him as he conieth
With hallelujahs clear;
The marriage feast is waiting.
The gates wide open stand ;
Up, up! ye heii-s of glory.
The Bridegroom is at hand.
3 Ye saints, who here in patience
Your cross and suflerings bore,
Shall live and reign for ever.
When sorrow is no more;
Around the throne of glory
The Lamb ye shall behold,
In triumph cast before him
Your diadems of gold.
•1 Our Hope and Expectation,
O Jesus ! now appear;
Arise, thou Sun so longed for!
O'er this benighted sphere ;
With hearts and hands uplifted,
We plead, O Lord ! to see
The day of earth's redemption,
That brings us unto thee.

Let it echo o'er the sea ;
Now is come the promised hour;
Jesus reigns with glorious power.
2 All ye nations, join and sing,
Praise your Saviour, praise your King
Let it sound from shore to shore,
"Jesus reigns for evermore."
3 Hark ! the desert lands rejoice.
And the islands join their voice;
Joy ! the whole creation sings,
"Jesus is the King of kings!"
4 Praise the name of God most high.
Praise him, all below the sky.
Praise him, all ye heavenly host.

THE COMING OF THE LORD.
MORNINGTON.
S. M,
1 The church has waited long
Her absent Lord to see,
And still in loneliness she waits,
A friendless stranger she.
2 Age after age has gone,
Sun after sun has set,
And still in weeds of widowhood
She weeps a mourner yet.
3 Saint after saint on earth
Has lived and loved and died,
And as they left us one by one
"We laid them side by side —
4 We laid them down to sleep.
But not in hope forlorn ;
We laid them but to ripen there
Till the last glorious morn.
5 The whole creation groans,
And waits to hear that voice
That shall restore her comeliness,
And make her wastes rejoice.
6 Come, Lord ! and wipe away
The curse, the sin, the stain.
And make this blighted world of ours
Thine own fair world again.
1 Come, Lord! and tarry not;
Bring the long looked-for day ;
326
Oh, why these years of waiting here.
These ages of delay?
2 Come, for thy saints still wait;
Daily ascends their sigh;
The Spirit and the Bride say. Come !
Dost thou not hear the cry ?
3 Come, for the good are few.
They lift the voice in vain ;
Faith waxes fainter on the earth.
And love is on the wane.
4 Come, for love waxes cold.
Its steps are faint and slow ;
Faith now is lost in unbelief;
Hope's lamp burns dim and low.
5 Come, and make all things new,
Build up this ruined earth.
Restore our faded paradise.
Creation's second birth.
6 Come, for creation groans.
Impatient of thy stay,
Worn out with these long years of ill,
These ages of delay.
7 Come, and begin thy reign
Of everlasting peace;
Come, take the kingdom to thyself,
Gi-eat King of righteousness !
THE COMING OF THE LORD.

1 Hark! the song of jubilee,
Loud as mighty thunders roar,
Or tlie fulhiess of the sea
When it brealts upon the shore;
Hallelujah ! for the Lord
God omnipotent shall reign :
Hallelujah ! let the word
Echo round the earth and main.
2 Hallelujah ! hark ! the sound
From the centre to the skies
Wakes above, beneath, around.
All creation's harmonies.
See Jehovah's banner furled.
Sheathed his sword, he speaks— 'tis done;
And the kingdoms of this world
Are the kingdoms of his Son.
3 " He shall reign from pole to pole
With illimitable sway;
He shall reign when, like a scroll,
Yonder heavens have passed away ;
730
Then the end: beneath his rod,
Man's last enemy shall fall ;
Hallelujah! Christ in God,
God in Christ, is all in all."
1 See the ransom'd millions stand.
Palms of conquest in their hand;
This before the throne their strain,
"Hell is vanquish'd; death is slain;
Blessing, honor, glory, might.
Are the Conqueror's native right;
Thrones and powers before him fall.
Lamb of God and Lord of all !"
2 Hasten, Lord ! the promised hour;
Come in glory and in power ;
Still thy foes are unsubdued;
Nature sighs to be renew'd ;
Time has nearly reach'd its sum ;
All things with thy bride say " Come '
Jesus! whom all worlds adore,
Come, and reign for evermore;

1 O God! thy grace and blessing give
To us who on thy name attend,
That we this mortal life may live
Regardful of our journey's end.
2 Teach us to know that Jesus died
And rose again our souls to save;
Teach us to take him as our guide,
Our help from childhood to the grave.
3 Then shall not death with terror come,
But welcome as a bidden guest.
The herald of a better home,
The messenger of peace and rest.
732
1 Why should we start and fear to die?
What timorous worms we mortals are!
Death is the gate of endless joy,
And yet we dread to enter there,
2 The pains, the groans and dying strife
Fright our approaching souls away.
Still we shrink back again to life.
Fond of our prison and our clay.
3 Oh, if my Lord would come and meet,
My soul would stretch her wings in haste,
Fly fearless through death's iron gate.
Nor feel the terrors as she passed.
4 Jesus can make a dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are,
328
While on his breast I lean my head.
And breathe my life out sweetly there.
733
1 The hour of my departure 's come;
I hear the voice that calls me home;
At last, O Lord ! let trouble cease.
And let thy servant die in peace.
2 The race appointed I have run.
The combat 's o'er, the prize is won ;
And now my witness is on high.
And now my record 's in the sky.
3 Not in mine innocence I trust;
I bow before thee in the dust;
And through my Saviour's blood alone
I look for mercy at thy throne.
4 I leave the world without a tear.
Save for the friends I held so dear;
To heal their sorrows, Lord ! descend,
And to the friendless prove a Friend.
5 I come, I come, at thy command ;
I give my spirit to thy hand ;
Stretch forth thine evei'lasting arms,
And shield me in the last alarms.
6 The hour of my departure's come;
I hear the voice that calls me home;
Now, O my God! let trouble cease;
Now let thy servant die iu peace.

1 So fades the lovely, blooming flower,
P^'rall smiling solace of an hour;
So soon our transient comforts fly,
And pleasure only blooms to die.
2 Is there no kind, no lenient art
To heal the anguish of the heart?
Spirit of grace ! be ever nigh,
Thy comforts are not made to die.
3 Then gentle patience smiles on pain.
And dying liope revives again ;
Hope wipes the tear from sorrow's eye
And faith points upward to the sky.

1 Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep,
From whicli none ever wakes to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose.
Unbroken by the last of foes.
2 Asleep in Jesus! oh how sweet
To be for such a slumber meet !
With holy confidence to sing
That death has lost his venom'd sting!
3 Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest.
Whose waking is supremely blest;
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour
That manifests the Saviour's power.
4 Asleep in Jesus ! oh, for me
May such a blissful refuge be;
Securely shall my ashes lie.
Waiting the summons from on high.
736
1 How blest the righteous when he dies,
Wlien sinks a weary soul to rest !
How mildly beam the closing eyes !
How gently heaves th' expiring breast!
2 So fades a summer cloud away ;
So sinks the gale when storms are o'er;
So gently shuts the eye of day ;
So dies a wave along the shore.
3 A holy quiet reigns around,
A calm which life nor death destroys;
And naught disturbs that peace profound
Which Ills unfettered soul enjoys.
4 Farewell, conflicting hopes and fears,
Where lights and shades alternate dwell ;
How bright th' unchanging morn appears !
Farewell, inconstant world, farewell !
5 Life's labor done, as sinks the clay.
Light from its load the spirit flies;
While lieaven and earth combine to say,
"How blest the righteous when he dies!"

1 Oh, for a faith that will not shrink
Though pressed by every foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe ;
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chastening rod.
But in the hour of grief or pain
Will lean upon its God —
S A faitli tliat shines more bright and clear
Wlien tempests rage without.
That wlien in danger knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt;
4 A faith that lieeps the narrow way
Till life's last hour is fled,
And with a pure and heavenly ray
Liglits up a dying bed.
5 Lord ! give us such a faith as this,
And then, whate'er may come.
We '11 taste e'en here tiie hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home.
740
1 Faith adds new charms to eartlily bliss,
And saves me from its snares.
Its aid in every duty brings,
And softens all my cares.
2 The wounded conscience knows its power
The healing balm to give;
Tliat balm the saddest heart can cheer,
And make the dying live.
3 Wide it unveils celestial worlds,
Where deathless pleasures reign,
And bids me seek my portion there,
Nor bids me seek in vain ;
4 Shows me the precious promise, sealed
With the Redeemer's blood.
And helps my feeble hope to rest
Upon a faithful God.
5 There, there unshaken would I rest
Till this vile body dies.
And then, on faith's triumphant wings.
At once to glory rise.
741
1 Oh, for an overcoming faith
To cheer my dying hours.
To triumph o'er the monster Death,
And all his frightful powers.
2 Joyful with all the strength I have
My quiv'ring lips should sing,
" Where is thy boasted vict'ry, grave,
And where the monster's sting?"
3 If sin be pardoned, I 'm secure.
Death has no sting beside;
The law gives sin its damning power,
But Christ, my Ransom, died.
4 Now to the God of victory
In^raortal thanks be paid,
Who makes us conqu'rors while we die
Through Christ our living Head.

1 Hear what the voice from heaven proclaims
For all the pious dead :
"Sweet is the savor of their names,
And soft their sleeping-bed.
2 "They die in Jesus, and are blessed —
How kind their slumbers are,
From sufferings and from sins released,
And freed from every snare.
3 "Far from this world of toil and strife.
They 're present with the Lord ;
Tlie labors of their mortal life
End in a large reward."
743
1 Teach me the measure of my days,
Thou Maker of my frame!
I would survey life's narrow space,
And learn how frail I am.
2 A span is all that we can boast,
An inch or two of time;
Man is but vanity and dust
In all his flower and prime.
3 See the vain race of mortals move
Like shadows o'er the plain.
They rage and strive, desire and love,
But all their noise is vain.
4 What should I wish or wait for, then,
From creatures, earth and dust?
They make our expectations vain,
And disappoint our trust.
332
5 Now I forbid my carnal hope,
My fond desires recall ;
I give my mortal interest up,
And make my God my aU.
744
1 Why do we mourn departing friends
Or shake at death's alarms?
'Tis but the voice tliat Jesus sends
To call them to his arms.
2 Are we not tending upward too
As fast as time can move?
Nor should 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 left a long perfume.
4 The graves of all the saints he blessed,
And softened every bed ;
Where should the dying members rest
But with their dying Head?
5 Thence he arose, ascended high,
And showed our feet the way ;
Up to the Lord our flesh 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.

1 Through sorrow's night and danger's path,
Amid the deepening gloom,
We, soldiers of an injured King,
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 life shall beat.
4 Yet not thus buried or extinct
The vital spark shall lie ;
For o'er life's wreck that spark shall rise
To seek its kindred sky.
5 These ashes loo, this little dust,
Our Father's care shall keep.
Till the last angel rise and break
The long and dreary sleep.
6 Then love's soft dew o'er every eye
Shall shed its mildest rays.
And the long-silent voice awake
With .shouts of endless praise.
1 'T IS sweet to rest in lively hope,
That when my change shall come
Angels will hover round my bed,
And waft my spirit home.
2 There shall my disimprisoned soul
Behold him, and adore ;
Be with his likeness satisfied.
And grieve and sin no more;
3 Shall see him wear that very flesh
On which my guilt was lain.
His love intense, his merit fresh,
As though but newly slain.
4 Soon too my slumbering dust shall hear
The trumpet's quickening sound ;
And by my Saviour's power rebuilt,
At his right hand be found.
5 These e5'es shall see him in that day,
The Lord that died for me.
And I with all his saints shall say,
Lord! who is like to thee?
6 If such the views which grace unfolds.
Weak as it is below.
What raptures must the church above
In Jesus' presence know !

2 Released from earthly toil and strife.
With thee is hidden still their life;
Thine are their thoughts, their works, their
All thine, and yet most truly ours ; [powers.
For well we know, where'er they be,
Our dead are living unto thee.
3 Not spilt like water on the ground.
Not wrapped in dreamless sleep profound,
Not wandering in unknown despair
Beyond thy voice, thine arm, thy care,
336
Not left to lie like fallen tree,
Not dead, but living unto thee.
4 Thy word is true, thy will is just;
To thee we leave them. Lord ! in trust,
And bless thee for the love which gave
Thy Son to fill a human grave.
That none might fear that world to see
Where all are living unto thee.
5 O Breather into man of breath !
O Holder of the keys of death !
O Giver of the life within!
Save us from death, the death of sin.
That body, soul and spirit be
For ever living unto thee.

Though ashes to ashes and dust unto dust—
"Soon and for ever" our union sliali be
Made perfect, our glorious Redeemer! in thee;

Shall drive all the night clouds of sorrow away ;

And learn the deep meaning of things that have been :
When fightings without us and fears from within
Shall weary no more in the warfare of sin.
Where fears and wliere tears, and where death shall be never.
Christians with Christ shall be "soon and for ever."
3 'Soon and for ever" the work shall be done,
The warfare accomplished, the victory won;
" Soon and for ever " the soldier lays down
His sword for a harp and his cross for a crown ;
Tiien droop not in sorrow, despond not in fear,
A glorious to-morrow is brightening and near;
When— blessed reward of each faithful endeavor-
Christians with Christ shall be " soon and for ever."

1 And must this body die,
Tliis mortal frame decay?
And must tliese active limbs of mine
Lie mould'ring in the clay ?
2 God my Redeemer lives,
And often from the skies
Looks down and watches all my dust,
Till he shall bid it rise.
8 Arrayed in glorious grace
Shall these vile bodies shine,
And every shape and every face
Look heav'nly and divine.
4 These lively hopes we owe
To Jesus' dying love ;
We would adore his grace below.
And sing his power above.

Wlio slumber in the Lord ;
Oh be like theirs my last repose,
Like theirs my last reward!
2 Their bodies in the ground
In silent hope may lie
Till the last trumpet's joyful sound
Shall call them to the sky.
3 Their ransomed spirits soar.
On wings of faith and love,
To meet the Saviour they adore,
And reign with him above.
4 With us their names shall live
Through long succeeding years,
Embalmed with all our hearts can give,
Our praises and our tears.
5 Oh for the death of those
Who slumber in the Lord;
Oh be like theirs my last repose.
Like theirs my last reward !

1 It is not death to die,
To leave this weary road.
And midst the brotherhood on high
To be at home with God.
2 It is not death to close
The eye long dimmed by tears,
And wake in glorious repose
To spend eternal years.
3 It is not death to bear
The wrench that sets us free
From dungeon chain, to breathe the air
Of boundless liberty.
■1 It is not death to fling
Aside this sinful dust,
And rise on strong exulting wing
To live among the just.
5 Jesus, tliou Prince of life :
Thy chosen cannot die;
Like thee, they conquer in the strife,
To reign with thee on high.

And we shall be with those that rest
Asleep within the tomb.

A few more partings o'er,
A few more toils, a few more tears,

And take my sins away.

Still unprepared to die.

My anxious thoughts employed.
And time, unhallowed, unimproved,
Presents a fearful void.

Chase from my laboring breast;
Thy grace it is which prompts the prayer
That grace can do the rest.

And when thy sure decree
Bids me this fleeting breath resign.
Oh, speed my soul to thee.

Now thy little lamb's long weeping;
Ah ! how peaceful, pale and mild
In its narrow bed 'tis sleeping!
And no sigh of anguish sore
Heaves that little bosom more.
2 In this world of care and pain,
Lord ! thou wouldst no longer leave it;

To the sunny heavenly plain
Dost thou now in joy receive it.
Clothed in robes of spotless white,
Now it dwells with thee in light.

Where it lives may soon be living.
And the lovely pastures see
That its heavenly food are giving.
Then the gain of death we '11 prove.
Though thou take what most we love.

When our bitter tears o'ertlow.
Wlien we mourn the lost, the dear,
Jesus, Son of Mary ! hear.
2 Thou our throbbing flesh hast worn,
Thou our mortal griefs hast borne,
Thou hast shed the human tear;
Jesus, Son of Mary ! hear.
3 When the solemn death-bell tolls
For our own departing souls.
When our final doom is near,
Jesus, Son of Mary ! hear.
4 Thou hast bowed the dying head,
Thou tlie blood of life hast shed.
Thou hast filled a mortal bier;
Jesus, Son of Mary ! hear.
5 When the heart is sad within
With the thought of all its sin,
When the spirit shrinks with fear,
Jesus, Son of Mary ! hear.

Though the sins were not thine own ;
Thou hast deigned their load to bear;
Jesus, Son of Mary ! hear.

Swells full of peace and joy above!

No deep despair nor gloomy woe,
They feel while high their lofty strains
In noblest, sweetest concord flow.

Who sing Imnianuel's praise on high,
And leave behind our fears and doubts,
To swell the chorus of the sky ?

To animate our feeble strains.
From the bright realms of endless day,
The blissful realms where Jesus reigns.

Adoring saints and angels fall.

His smile their bliss, their heaven, their all.

While tuneful hallehijiilis rise,
And love ami joy and triumph spread
Through all th' assemblies of the skies.

Oh, may the joy-inspiring theme
Awake our faith and warm desire.

So near to heaven's eternal joys?

While we are traveling back to God?

And build their happy nest on high.

And sing their hymns in melting strains;

And now their souls begin to prove
The heights and depths of Jesus' love.

They sing hosannas all the while;
Or, overwhelined with raptui'e sweet,
Sink down adoring at his feet.

Yet strip me of this house of clay,

Removes his blest abode-

Where saints immortal reign ;
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
2 There everlasting spring abides,
And never- with'ring flow'rs;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heav'nly 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 tim'rous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea.
And linger, shiv'ring, on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
5 Oh, could we make our doubts remove.
These gloomy doubts that rise.
And see the Canaan that we love
With un beclouded eyes,
(i Could we but climb where Moses stood.
And view the landscape o'er.
Not Jordan's stream nor death's cold flood
Should fright us from the shore.

Might I be worthy found
To wait upon my God and King,
His praises there to sound.

1 O MY sweet home, Jerusalem !
Thy joys when shall I see?
The King that sitteth on thy throna
In his felicity?
2 Thy gardens and thy goodly walks
Continually are green.
Where grow such sweet and pleasant flowers
As no where else are seen.
3 Right thro' thy streets with pleasing sound
The flood of life doth flow ;
And on the banks, on either side,
The trees of life do grow.
352
4 Those trees each month yield ripened fruit;
For evermore they spring,
And all the nations of the earth
To thee their honors bring.
5 O mother dear, Jerusalem!
When shall I come to thee?
When shall mj' sorrows have an end?
Thy joys when shall I see?
786
1 Give me the wings of faith to rise
Within the veil, and sec
The saints above, how great their joys,
How bright their glories be.
2 Once they were mourning here below.
And wet their couch with tears ;
They wrestled hard as we do now,
With sins and doubts and fears.
3 I asked them whence their vict'ry came;
They, with united breath.
Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb,
Their triumph to his death.
4 They marked the footsteps that he trod.
His zeal inspired their breast.
And foU'wing their incarnate God,
Possess the promised rest.
5 Our glorious Leader claims our praise
For his own pattern given.
While the long cloud of witnesses
Show the same path to heaven.

1 Fab from these narrow scenes of night
Unbounded glories rise,
And realms of infinite delight
Unknown to mortal eyes.
2 Fair distant land! could mortal eyes
But half its joys explore,
How would our spirits long to rise
And dwell on earth no more !
3 There pain and sickness never come,
And grief no more complains;
Health triumphs in immortal bloom,
And endless pleasure reigns.
4 No cloud those blissful regions know,
P^or ever bright and fair;
For sin, the soui'c« of mortal woe.
Can never enter there.
5 There no alternate night is known,
Nor sun's faint sickly ray ;
But glory from the sacred throne
Spreads everlasting day.
23
6 Oh, may the heavenly prospect fire
Our hearts with ardent love,
Till wings of faith and strong desire
Bear every thought above.
788
1 There is a fold whence none can stray,
And pastures ever green.
Where sultry sun, or stormy day,
Or night is never seen.
2 Far up the everlasting hills
In God's own light it lies;
His smile its vast dimension fills
With joy that never dies.
3 Soon at his feet my soul will lie
In life's last struggling breath;
But I shall only seem to die—
I shall not taste of death.
4 Far from this guilty world to be
Exempt from toil and strife.
To spend eternity with thee,
My Saviour! this is life.

Brief life is here our portion.
Brief sorrow, short-lived care;
The life that knows "no ending.
The tearless life, is there;
Oh. happy retribution!
Short toil, eternal rest;
For mortals and for sinners,
A mansion with the blest.
2 There grief is turned to pleasure-
Such pleasure as below
No human voice can utter,
No human heart can know;
And after fleshl.y scandal.
And after this world's night,
And after storm and whirlwind,
Is calm and joy and light.
3 And there is David's fountain,
And life in fullest glow ;
And there the light is golden,
And milk and honey flow;
The li^;ht that hath no evening,
The health that hath no sore,
The life that hath no ending,
But lasteth evermore.
1 For thee, O dear, dear country !
Mine eyes their vigils keep;
For very love, beholding
Thy happy name, they weep;
The mention of thy glory
Is unction to the breast.
And medicine in sickness,
And love and life and rest.
2 O one, O only mansion !
O Paradise of joy !
Where tears are ever banished
And smiles have no alloy.
The Lamb is all thy splendor,
The Crucified thy praise;
His laud and benediction
Thy ransomed people raise.
3 O sweet and blessed country.
The home of God's elect!
O sweet and blessed country,
That eager hearts expect!
Jesus, in mercy bring us
To that dear land of rest,
Who art, with God the Father,
And Spirit, ever blest.

Dwell the raptured saints above,
Far beyond our feeble sight,
Happy in Immanuel's love;
Pilgrims in this vale of tears,
Once they knew, like us below.
Gloomy doubts, distressing feai-s.
Torturing pain and heavy woe.
2 'Mid the chorus of the skies,
'Mid th' angelic lyres above.
Hark ! their songs melodious rise-
Songs of praise to Jesus' love;
Happy spirits, they are fled
Where no grief can entrance find,
Lulled to rest the aching head.
Soothed the anguisli of the mind.
3 x\ll is tranquil and serene,
Calm and undisturbed repose;
There no cloud can intervene.
There no angry tempest blows;
Every tear is wiped awaj%
Sighs no more shall heave the breast;
Night is lost in endless day,
Sorrow in eternal rest.
1 What are these in bright array?
This innumerable throng.
Round the altar night and day
Hynining one triumphant song?
Worthy is the Lamb once slain.
Blessing, honor, glory, power,
Wisdom, riches, to obtain ;
New dominion every hour.
2 These through flery trials trod;
These from great affliction came;
Now before the throne of God,
Sealed with his eternal name.
Clad in raiment pure and white,
Victor palms in every hand.
Through their dear Redeemer's might,
More than conquerors they stand.
3 Hunger, thirst, disease, unknown.
On immortal fruits they feed;
Them the Lamb amidst the throno
Shall to living fountains lead;
Joy and gladness banish sighs;
Perfect love dispels all fear.
And for ever from their eyes
God shall wipe away the tear.

But how little none can know.

Speedily the mark to find.
As the lightning from the skies
Darts, and leaves no trace behind.
Swiftly thus our fleeting days
Bear us down life's rapid stream;
Upward, Lord ! our spirits raise;
All below is but a dream.
Thanks for mercies past receive,
Pardon of our sins renew ;

With eternity in view;

And when life's short tale is told.

1 With songs and honors sounding loud
Address the Lord on high ;
Over the heavens he spread his cloud,
And waters veil the sky.
2 He sends his showers of blessing down
To cheer the plains below ;
He makes the grass the mountains crown,
And corn in valleys grow.
3 His steady counsels change the face
Of the declining year;
He bids the sun cut short his race.
And wintry days appear.
4 His hoary frost, his fleecy snow,
Descend and clothe the ground;
The liquid streams forbear to flow,
In icy fetters bound.
5 He sends his word and melts the snow.
The fields no longer mourn ;
He calls the warmer gales to blow.
And bids the spring i-eturn.
C The changing wind, the flying cloud.
Obey his mighty word ;
With songs and honors sounding loud
Praise ye the sovereign Lord.

Who makes the earth his care,
Visits the pastures every spring.
And bids the grass appear.

Pour out, at his command,
Their watery blessings from the sky,
To cheer the thirsty land.
3 The softened ridges of the field
Permit the corn to spring,
The valleys rich provision yield,
And cheerful lab'rers sing.
4 The little hills on every side
Rejoice at falling showers;
The meadows, dressed in all their pride.
Perfume the air with flowers.
5 The barren clods, refreshed with rain,
Promise a joyful crop;
The parching grounds look green again,
And raise the reaper's hope.

How bounteous are thy ways !
The bleating flocks spread o'er the downs,
And shepherds shout thy praise.

If summer warms the fruitful earth,
When winter sweeps the naked plain.
Or autumn yields its ripened grain.

Through all their changes thou dost reign.

Bestows new plenty o'er the land,
When sounds of music fill the air,
As homeward all their treasures bear,
We too will raise
Our hymn of praise.
For we thy common bounties share.

The skill that makes our fruits abound;

New praises from our lips shall sound.

Who for lost man redemption won;

Then the full corn shall appear;

Wholesome grain and pure may be.

All that doth offend that day;
Give his angels charge at last
In the lire the tares to cast.

In his garner evermore.

To thy final harvest liome;
Gather thou thy people in.

In thy presence to abide;
Come with all thine angels, come.

The upward glancing of an eye
When none but God is near.
3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech
That infant lips can try ;
Prayer the sublimest strains that reach
The Majesty on high.
4 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice
Returning from his ways,
While angels in their songs rejoice,
And say, " Behold, he prays."
5 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath,
The Christian's native air,
His watchword at the gates of death;
He enters heaven with prayer.

1 In all my vast concerns with thee
In vain my soul would try
To shun thy presence. Lord! or tlee
The notice of thine eye.
2 Thine all-surrounding sight surveys
My rising and my rest,
My public walks, my private ways,
And secrets of my breast.
388
3 My thoughts lie open to the Lord
Before they 're formed within.
And ere my lips pronounce the word
He knows the sense I mean.
4 Oh, wondrous knowledge, deep and high ;
Where can a creature hide?
Within thy circling arms I lie,
Beset on every side.
5 So let thy grace surround me still.
And like a bulwarlt prove
To guard my soul froin every ill.
Secured by sovereign love.
853
1 Far from the world, O Lord ! I flee.
Prom strife and tumult far,
Froin scenes where Satan wages still
His most successful war.
2 The calm retreat, the silent shade,
With prayer and praise agree;
And seem, by thy sweet bounty, made
For those who follow thee.
3 There, if thy Spirit touch the soul.
And grace her mean abode.
Oh, with what peace and joy and love
She then communes with God !
4 Author and Guardian of my life,
Sweet Source of light divine.
And all harmonious names in one,
Blest Saviour! thou art mine.

1 My God ! is any hour so sweet.
From blush of morn to evening star,
As tliat which calls me to thy I'eet,
The hour of prayer?
2 Blest is the tranquil hour of morn.
And blest that solemn hour of eve
When, on the wings of prayer upborne,
The world I leave.
3 Then is my strength by thee renewed;
Then are my sins by thee forgiven ;
RETREAT.
Then dost thou cheer my solitude
With hopes of heaven.
4 No words can tell what sweet relief
Here for my every want I And,
What strength for warfare, bahn for grief.
What peace of mind.
5 Lord ! till I reach that blissful shore,
No privilege so dear shall be.
As thus my inmost soul to pour
In prayer to thee.

1 From every stormy wind that blows,
From every swelling tide of woes,
There is a calm, a sure retreat;
'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat.
2 There is a place where Jesus sheds
The oil of gladness on our heads—
A place than all besides more sweet;
It is the blood-bought mercy-seat.
3 There is a scene where spirits blend,
Where friend holds fellowship with friend;
Though sundered far, by faith they meet
Around one common mercy-seat.
4 There, there on eagle wings we soar,
And time and sense seem all no more.
And heav'n comes down our souls to greet,
And glory crowns the mercj'-seat.
5 Oh, let mj- hand forget her skill.
My tongue be silent, cold and still.
This bounding heart forget to beat,
If I forget the mercy-seat.

Pleasant are thy courts below.
In this land of sin and woe.
Oh, my spirit longs and faints
For the converse of thy saints.
For the brightness of thy face,
For thy fullness, God of grace !

Round thy altars, O Most High!
Happier souls that find a rest
In their heavenly Father's breast;
Like the wandering dove that found
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 froin strength to strength
Till they reach thy throne at length;
At thy feet adoring fall.
Who hast led them safe through all.

Closed no more by death and sin ;

Hark again ! the answering choir
Thus in strains of triumph sing:
3 " He whose powerful arm alone
On his foes destruction hurled;
He who hath the victory won.
He who saved a ruined world;
4 " He who God's pure law fulfilled,
•lesus, the Incarnate Word ;
He whose truth witli blood was scaled.
He is heaven's all-glorious Lord."

Who reared the spacious earth,
And raised our ruined frame.
He built the church who spread the SKy;
Sing and exalt his honors high,

By power and love divine;
Jesus, his first-born Son,
How bright his glories shine !
Low he descends, in dust he lies.
That from his tomb a church might rise.
3 But he for ever lives.
Nor for himself alone ;
Each saint new life derives
From him, the living Stone.
His influence spreads through every soul.
And in one house unites the whole.

In him cemented stand;
The living temple grows,
And owns the Founder's hand.

Attend our humble cry,
And let thy servants sliare

Their cliildren when they cry.
If they, with love sincere.
Their varied wants supply,
Much more wilt thou thy love display.
And answer when thy children pray.
3 Our heavenl J' Father, thou ;
We, children of thy grace;
Oh, let thy Spirit now
Descend, and fill the place;
So shall we feel the heavenly flame,
And all unite to praise thy name.
4 Oh, send thy Spirit down
On all the nations. Lord!
With great success to crown
The preaching of thy word.
Till heathen landsshall own thy sway.
And cast their idol-gods away.

And basely his kind care repay?
He calls me still; can I delay?

And shall I dare his Spirit grieve?

My soul for shelter flies;
'T is here I find a safe retreat
When storms and tempests rise.

If thou, my God! art near;
Thy grace can raise my comforts high,
And banish every fear.

Thy constant aid impart;
Oh, let thy kind, thy gracious word
Sustain my trembling heart.

From this divine retreat;
Still let me trust thy power and love,
And dwell beneath thy feet.

1 Now shall my solemn vows be paid
To that almighty power
Who heard the long requests I made
In my distressful hour.
2 My lips and cheerful heart prepare
To make his mercies known ;
Come, ye who fear my God, and hear
The wonders he has done.
3 When on my head huge sorrows fell,
I sought his heavenly aid ;
He saved my sinking soul from hell
And death's eternal shade.
4 If sin lay covered in my heart
While prayer employed my tongue,
The Lord had shown me no regard,
Nor I his praises sung.
5 But God— his name be ever blessed—
Has set my spirit free.
Nor turned from him my poor request.
Nor turned his heart from me.

Among thy saints a seat,
For ever to behold thy face.
And worship at thy feet;
2 In thy pavilion to abide
When storms of trouble blow.
And in thy tabernacle hide,
Secure from every foe.
3 Then leave me not when griefs assail
And earthly comforts flee ;
When father, mother, kindred, fail,
My God ! remember me.

My soul, disdain to fear;
The righteous Judge is at the gate.
And thy redemption near.

He heard me and subdued my foes;
He did my rising fears control.
And strength diffused through all my soul

Upheld and guarded by thy hand ;
Thy words my fainting 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.

Mercy is found and peace is given ;
But soon, all ! soon, approaching night
Shall blot out every hope of heaven.

And when they trod the wintry strand,
With prayer and psalm they worshiped

prayer ;
Thy blessing came, and still its power
Shall onward through all ages bear
The memory of that holy hour.

3 May faith, deep-rooted In the soul,
The flesh subdue, the mind control ;
May guile depart and discord cease,
And all within be joy and peace.
402
4 Oh, hallowed thus be every day;
Let meekness be our morning ray.
And faithful love our noonday light,
And hope our sunset, calm and bright.
5 O Christ ! with each returning morn.
Thine image to our hearts is borne;
Oh, may we ever clearly see
Our Saviour and our God in thee.
889
1 New every morning is the love
Our wakening and uprising prove;
Thro' sleep and darkness safely brought.
Restored to life and power and thought.
2 New mercies each returning day
Hover around us while we pray.
New perils past, new sins forgiven,
New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven,
3 If, on our daily course, our mind
Be set to hallow all we find.
New treasures still, of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.
4 The trivial round, the common task.
Will furnish all we need to ask.
Room to deny ourselves, a road
To bring us daily nearer God.
5 Only, O Lord ! in thy dear love,
Fit us for perfect rest above,
And help ns this and every day
To live more nearly as we pray.

Who, all night long, unwearied sing
High praise to thee, eternal King !

Salutes thy waking eyes;
Once more, my voice, thy tribute pay
To him who rules the skies.
2 Night unto night his name repeats.
The day renews the sound.
Wide as the heaven on which he sits
To turn the seasons round.
3 'T is he supports my mortal frame.
My tongue shall speak his praise;
My sins would rouse his wrath to flame.
And yet his wrath delays.
4 A thousand wretched souls are fled
Since the last setting sun.
And yet he lengthens out my thread,
And yet my moments run.
5 Great God ! let all my hours be thine
Whilst I enjoy the light;
Then shall my sun in smiles decline.
And bring a peaceful night.

And fills tlie circling iiours.

Secure and safe from every liarm,

And restless pains and woes,
In gentle sleep I closed my eyes,
In undisturbed repose.

My lieedless steps defend.

And guide my future days.

My morning sacrifice I bring,
And, mourning o'er my guilt and shame.
Ask mercy in my Saviour's name.

And be my Advocate with God.

2 Oh. to my longingeyes.once more
That view of glorious power restore
Which thv majestic house displays;
Because to me thy wondrous love
Than life itself does dearer prove.
My lips shall always speak thy praise.
3 My life, while I that life enjoy,
In blessing God I will employ.
With lifted hands adore his name;
As with its choicest food supplied.
My soul shall be full satisfied.
While I with joy his praise proclaim.

Thou, Lord ! art present to my mind.
And when I wake in dead of night;
Because thou still dost succor bring,
Beneath the shadow of thy wing

Thus far his power prolongs my days;
And every evening should make known
Some fresh memorials of his grace.

And I, perhaps, am near my home;
But he forgives my follies past,
He gives me strength for days to come.
3 I lay my body down to sleep.
Peace is the pillow for my head;
While well-appointed angels keep
Their watchful stations round my bed.
4 Thus, when the night of death shall come.
My' flesh shall rest beneath the ground.
And wait thy voice to rouse my tomb,
With sweet salvation in the sound.

1 Sweet Saviour! bless us ere we go;
Thy word into our minds instill,
And make our lukewarm hearts to glow
With lowly love and fervent will ;
Thro' life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus! be our Light.
2 The day is gone, its hours have run.
And thou hast taken count of all—
The scanty triumphs grace hath won.
The broken vow, the frequent fall ;
Thro' life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus ! be our Light.
3 Grant us, dear Lord ! from evil ways
True absolution and release,
And bless us more than in past days
With purity and inward peace;
Thro' life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus ! be our Light.
4 Do more than pardon, give us joy.
Sweet fear and sober liberty.
And simple hearts without alloy
That only long to be like thee;
Thro' life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus ! be our Light.
5 Labor is sweet, for thou hast toiled.
And care is light, for thou hast cared;
Ah ! never let our works be soiled
With strife, or by deceit ensnared ;
Thro' life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus ! be our Light.
6 For all we love, the poor, the sad.
The sinful, unto thee we call;
Oh, let thy mercy make us glad ;
Thou art our Jesus and our All ;
Thro' life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus ! be our Light.

Lilse holy Incense rise ;
Assist the offerings of my tongue
To reacli the lofty skies.

Thy hand was still my guard.
And still to drive my wants away
Thy mercy stood prepared.
3 Perpetual blessings from above
Encompass me around ;
But oh how few returns of love
Hath my Creator found !
4 What have I done for him who died
To save my wretched soul?
How are my follies multiplied,
Fast as the minutes roll !
5 Lord! with this guilty heart of nune
To thy dear cross I flee,
And to thy grace my soul resign,
To be renewed by thee.

I am for ever thine;
I fear before thee all the day.
Nor would 1 dure to sin.
2 And while 1 rest my weary head
From cares and business free,
412
'Tis sweet conversing on my bed
With my own heart and thee.
3 I pay this evening sacrifice;
And when my work is done,
Great God ! my faith, my hope, relies
Upon thy grace alone.
i Thus, with my thoughts composed to peace,
I '11 give mine eyes to sleep;
Thy hand fn safety keeps my days.
And will my slumbers keep.

Let flames of love arise;
Assist us. Lord ! to offer up
Our evening sacrifice.

Have made up all this day;
Minutes came quick, but mercies were
More fleet, more free, than they.

Do a new song require;
Till we shall praise thee as we would,
Accept our hearts' desire.

New time upon our score,
Thee may we praise for all our time,
Wlien time shall be no more.

1 Hail, tranquil hour of closing day!
Begone, disturbing care;
And look, my soul, from earth, away
To him who heareth prayer.
2 How sweet the tear of penitence
Before his throne of grace !
While to the contrite spirit's sense
He shows his smiling face.
3 How sweet, through long-remembered years.
His mercies to recall,
And, pressed with wants and griefs and fears.
To trust his love for all !
4 How sweet to look in thoughtful hope
Beyond this fading sky.
And hear him call his children up
To his fair home on high !
5 Calmly the day forsakes our heaven
To dawn beyond the west;
So let my soul in life's last even
Retire to glorious rest.
911
1 O Lord ! another day is flown,
And we, a lonely band.
Are met once more before thy throne
To bless thy fostering hand.
2 And wilt thou bend a listening ear
To praises low as ours?
Thou wilt; for thou dost love to hear
The song which meekness pours.
3 And, Jesus ! thou thy smiles wilt deign
As we before thee pray ;
For thou didst bless the infant train.
And we are less than they.
912
1 I LOVE to steal a while 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
Where none but God is near.
3 I love to think on mercies past
And future good implore,
And all my cares and sorrows cast
On him whom I adore.
4 I love by faith to take a view
Of brighter scenes in heaven ;
The prospect doth my strength renew
While here by tempests driven.
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.

To watch wiiiie thy saints are asleep;
By day and by niglit they attend,
The lieirs of salvation to keep;
Bright seraphs, despatclied from the throne.
Repair to their stations assigned;
And angels elect are sent down
To guard the redeemed of mankind.
3 Thy worship no interval knows;
Their fervor is still on the wing;
And while they protect my repose
They chant to the praise of my King.
I, too. at the season ordained.
Their chorus for ever shall join.
And love and adore without end
Their faithful Creator, and mine.

But as thou dwell'st with thy disciples, Lord!

But kind and good, with healing in thy wings;
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea;
Come, Friend of sinners ! thus abide with me.

And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left thee:
On to the close, O Lord ! abide with me.
6 I need thy presence every passing hour;
What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, oh abide witli me!
7 I fear no foe, with (hee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness;
Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory?
1 triumph still, if thou abide with me.
8 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes,
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies;
Heaven's moriung breaks and earth's vain shadows tiee:
In life, in death, O Lord! abide with rae.

God who madest earth and heaven,
Darkness and light.
Who the day for toil hast given,
For rest the night,
May thine angel-guards defend us.
Slumber sweet thy mercy send us.
Holy dreams and hopes attend us,
This livelong night.
2 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping,
And when we die.
May we in thy mighty keeping
All peaceful lie;
When the last dread call shall wake us
Do not thou our God forsake us.
But to reign in glory take us
With thee on high.

Dwelling in the midst of foes.

And when life's short day is past
Rest with thee in heaven at last.

Ere repose our spirits seal;
Sin and want we come confessing;
Thou canst save, and thou canst heal.

Though the arrows past us fly.
Angel-guards from thee surround us ;
We are safe if thou art nigh.

Darkness cannot hide from thee;

May the morn in heaven awake us.

Before thy throne, O Lord of heav'n !
We kneel at close of day ;
Look on thy children from on high,
And hear us while we pray.
2 The sorrows of thy servants, Lord!
Oh do not thou despise,
But let the incense of our prayers
Before thy mercy rise;
The brightness of the coming night
Upon the darkness rolls;
With hopes of future glory chase
The shadows from our souls.
3 Slowly the rays of daylight fade;
So fade within the heart
The hopes in earthly love and joy
That one by one depart ;
Slowly the bright stars, one by one,
Within the heavens shine;
Give us, O Lord! fresh hopes in heaven.
And trust in things divine.
4 Let peace, O Lord ! thy peace, O God !
Upon our souls descend.
From midnight fears and perils thou
Our trembling hearts defend;
Give us a respite from our toil.
Calm and subdue our woes;
Through the long day we suffer, Lord !
Oh, give us now repose !

1 O faith! thou workest miracles
Upon tlie hearts of men.
Choosing thy home in tliose same hearts
We know not how or when.
2 O Gift of gifts! O Grace of faitli !
My God! how can it be
That thou, who hast discerning love,
Shouldst give that gift to me?
3 There was a place, there was a time,
Whether by night or daj',
Thy Spirit came and left that gift,
And went upon his way.
4 How many hearts thou mightst have had
More innocent than mine!
How many souls more worthy far
Of that sweet touch of thine!

It is thy boast to come.

Will not refuse the less.

But meets tliine ear divine;

Beyond this land of woe
Where trials never come,
Nor tears of sorrow flow,
Where faith is lost in sight.
And patient hope is crowned,
And everlasting light
Its glory throws around.
2 There is a land of peace;
Good angels know it well ;
Glad songs that never cease
Within its portals swell;
Around its glorious throne
Ten thousand saints adore
Christ, with the Father one,
And Spirit, evei'more.
3 Oh, joy all joys beyond,
To see the Lamb who died.
And count each sacred wound
In hands and feet and side;
To give to him the praise
Of every triumph won.
And sing through endless days
The great things he hath done.
4 Look up, ye saints of God,
Nor fear to tread below
The path your Saviour trod
Of daily toil and woe;
Wait but a little while
In uncomplaining love;
His own most gracious smile
Shall welcome you above.

Or cry in the desert for bread?
Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they

1 Deak Saviour! ever at my side,
How loving thou must be,
To leave thy home in heaven to guard
A little child like me!
Thy beautiful and shining face
I see not, though so near;
The sweetness of thy soft low voice
I am too deaf to hear.
2 I cannot feel thee touch my hand
With pressure light and mild,
To check me, as my mother did
When I was but a child ;
THE CHILD'S DESIRE.
But I have felt thee in my thoughts
Fighting with sin for me;
And when my heart loves God, I know
The sweetness is from thee.
3 And when, dear Saviour! I kneel down
Morning and night to pray'r.
Something there is within my heart
Which tells me thou art there:
Yes, when I pray, thou prayest too,
Thy pray'r is then for me;
And when I sleep, thou, sleeping not,
Dost watch me lovingly.

1 I THINK, when I read that sweet story of old,
When Jesus was here among men.
How he called little children as lambs to his fold,
I should like to have been with them then.
2 I wish that his hands had been placed on my head,
That his arms had been thrown around me.
And that I might have seen his kind look when he said,
" Let the little ones come unto me."
3 Yet still to his footstool in prayer I may go,
And ask for a share in his love;
And if I thus earnestly seek him below,
I shall see him and hear him above,
4 In that beautiful place he is gone to prepare
For all who are washed and forgiv'n;
And many dear children are gathering there,
"For of such is the kingdom of heav'n."
5 I long for the joys of that glorious time.
The sweetest and brightest and best.
When the dear little children of every clime
Shall crowd to his arms and be blest.

Of all our golden dreams.
I love to tell the story,

I tell it now to thee.

'Tis pleasant to repeat
What seems, each time I tell it.
More wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the story.

The message of salvation
From God's own holy word.

For those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting
To hear It like the rest.

1 Our God stands firm, a rock and tow'r,
A shield when danger presses;
A ready help In ev'ry hour
When doubt or pain distresses ;
For our malignant foe
Unswerving aims his blow;
His fearful arms the while
Dark pow'r and darker guile;
His hidden craft is matchless.
2 Our strength is weakness in the flght,
Our courage soon defection ;
But comes a Warrior clad in might,
A Prince of God's election ;

Who is this wondrous Chief
That brings this glad relief?
The field of battle boasts
Christ Jesus, Lord of hosts,
Still conq'ring and to conquer,
3 Then, Lord! arise; lift up thine arm,
With mighty succor stay us;
Oh, turn aside the deadly harm
Wiien Satan would betray us.
That, rescued by thy hand.
In triumph we may stand.
And round thy footstool crowd
In joy to sing aloud
High praise to our Redeemer.

And hushed their raging at thy word,

Like rain-drops in the sea.

Pour peace into his breast.

1 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 Though with a scornful wonder
Men see her sore opprest,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distrebt,
Yet saints their watch are keeping
Their cry goes up, " How long?"
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song.
3 '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.

See Hymn 781.
1 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 inake our doubts remove,
Those gloomy doubts that rise,
And see the Canaan that we love
With unbeclouded eyes,
6 Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o'er, [flood
Not Jordan's stream nor death's cold
Should fright us from the shore.
970
See Hymn 783.
1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand.
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land.
Where my possessions lie.
2 Oh, the transporting, rapturous scene
That rises to my sight !
Sweet fields arrayed in living green,
And rivers of delight.
3 When shall I reach that happy place,
And be for ever blest?
When shall I see my Father's face.
And in his bosom rest?
4'Filled with delight, my raptured soul
Would here no longer stay ;
Though Jordan's waves around me roll.
Fearless I 'd launch away.

4 We see thy hand— it leads us, it supports us : —
We liear thy voice — it | counsels " and it | courts us:— ||
And then we turn away !— yet | still " thy | kindness |1
For- I gives •• our | blindness.
5 Who can resist thy gentle call,— appealing
To every generous thought and | grateful | feeling?— 1|
Oh, who can hear the accents | of " thy | mercy, 1!
And I nev " er | love thee?
6 Kind Benefactor! plant within this bosom
The I seeds •• of | holiness,— || and let them blossom
In fragrance,— and in beauty | bright •• and | vernal, — 1|
And I spring •• e- | ternal.
7 Then place them in those everlasting gardens
Where angels walk— and | seraphs •• are the | wardens; — 1|
Where every flower, brought safe through | death's •• dark | portal, |
Be- I comes •• im- | mortal.

1 Birds have their | quiet nest,

All creatures | have their rest:
But Jesus had not | where to lay his head.
2 And yet he | came to give
The weary and tlie | iieavy laden rest,
To bid the | sinner live.
And soothe our griefs to | slumber on his breast.
3 What, then, am | I, my God,
Permitted thus the | path of peace to tread? —
Peace purchased | by the blood
Of him who had not | where to lay his head —
4 I, who once | made him grieve,
I, who once bid his | gentle spirit mourn.
Whose hand es- | sayed to weave
For his meek brow the | cruel crown of thorn !
5 Oh, why should | I have peace?
Why? but for that on- ] changed, undying love
Which would not, | could not cease.
Until it made me | heir of joys above !
6 Yes; but for 1 pardoning grace,
I feel I never | should in glory see
The brightness | of that face
That once was pale and | agonized for me.
7 Let the birds | seek their nest.
Foxes their holes, and | man his peaceful bed;
Come, Saviour! | in my breast
Deign to repose thine | oft-rejected head.
8 Come, give me | rest, and take
The only rest on | earth thou lov'st, within
A heart that | for thy sake
Lies bleeding, broken, | penitent for sin.

1 He leadeth me! oh, blessed thought,
Ob, words with heav'nly comfort fraught !
Whate'er 1 do, where'er I be,
Still 't is God's hand that leadeth me.
He leadeth me, he leadeth me !
By his own hand he leadeth me;
His faithful foll'wer I would be,
For by his hand he leadeth me.
2 Sometimes 'mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom,
By waters still, o'er troubled sea,—
Still 'tis his liand that leadeth me!
He leadeth me, etc.
3 Lord ! I would clasp thy hand in mine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine.
Content, whatever lot I see.
Since 't is my God that leadeth me.
He leadeth me, etc.
4 And when my task on earth is doue.
When by thy grace the victory 's won.
E'en death's cold wave I will not flee.
Since God through Jordan leadeth me.
