PREFACE
This Book of Hymns and Tunes has been prepared by a Pastor in charge
of a Church. He has undertaken the work with the single aim and hope of
encouraging singing by the Congregation, as a part of divine worship. He has
not sought to compile a Manual of Hyrnnology, nor to iurnish a collection of
pieces of Lyric Poetry. Everything has been bent to the one purpose of
actual use.
All the Selections are set to music in sight. But it is not to be understood
that each must be sung exactly and invariably to the tune under which it i3
printed. In most cases a choice is presented; a new or fresher one being
matched with one older or more familiar. It may be that mere mechanical
reasons have forced the hymn into the place it occupies, when the more appro-
priate music will be found below, or across on the opposite page. A quiet care
in noting the metres will avoid all confusion.
Xot all the Tunes are precisely and rigidly adapted to congregational sing-
ing. Most of them, however, can be easily learned. It is expected that the
people will be led by a competent precentor, or — better still — by a large and
trained Choir. And oftentimes skilled and cultivated musicians will desire a
slight license of artistic excellence for their own enjoyment and performance on
rare occasions; thus quickening their own zest, while instructing others, and
elevating the general iaste.

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

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

Lord! in the morning thou shalt hear
My voice ascending high;
To thee will I direct my prayer,
To thee lift up mine eye; —
2 Up to the hills, where Christ has gone
To plead for all liis saints,
Presenting, at his Father's throne,
Our songs and our complaints.
3 Thou art a God, before whose sight
The wicked shall not stand;
Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight,
Nor dwell at thy right hand.
4 But to thy house will I resort,
To taste thy mercies there;
I will frequent thy holy court,
And worship in thy fear.
."1 Oh, may thy Spirit guide my feet,
In ways of righteousne.-s;
Make every path of duty straight,
And plain before my face.

Nor smite my guilty soul;
Let not thy righteous wrath be hot:
Save me and make me whole.
■J Mv heart is vexed with sore distress;
But thou, 0 Lord, how long? —
Let urn in prace and righteousness,
And make thy love my song.
3 Death utters forth no note of praise,
The silent grave no prayer;
Oh, do not now cut short my days,
Nor leave me to despair!
4 Long weary nights of pain and grief
My wasting strength destroy;
Lord, give these weeping eyes relief,
And change my tears to joy.
5 My prayer is heard — the Lord is nigh!
He bids my foes depart;
While shame o'erwhelms them suddenly,
His mercy cheers my heart.

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

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

PSALM 8.
Creation and Redemption.
O Lord our Lord! how wondrous great
Is thine exalted name!
The glories of thy heavenly state
Let men and babes proclaim.
When I behold thy works on high,
The moon that rules the night,
And stars that well adorn the sky,
Those moving worlds of light; —
Lord! what is man, or all his race,
Who dwells so far below,
That thou shouldst visit him with grace,
And love his nature so? —
14
4 That thine eternal Son should bear
To take a mortal form,
Made lower than his angels are,
To save a dying worm ?
5 Yet, while he lived on earth unknown,
And men would not adore,
Behold obedient nature own
His Godhead and his power!
6 Let him be crowned with majesty,
Who bowed his head in death;
And be his honors sounded high,
By all things that have breath.

With my whole heart I'll raise my song,
Thy wonders I '11 proclaim ;
Thou sovereign judge of right and wrong
Wilt put my 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 vengeance known.
3 Then shall the Lord a refuge prove
For all who are oppressed,
To save the people of his love,
And give the weary rest.
4 Sing praises to the righteous Lord,
Who dwells on Zion's hill;
Who executes his threatening word,
And doth his grace fulfill.

And humbly walks with God below:
2 Whose hands are pure, whose heart is clean,
Whose lips still speak the thing they mean ;
No slanders dwell upon his tongue ;
He hates to do his neighbor wrong.

And always makes his promise good;
Nor dares to change the thing he swears,
Whatever pain or loss he bears.
4 He never deals in bribing gold,
And mourns that justice should be sold:
While others scorn and wrong the poor,
Sweet charity attends his door.
5 He loves his enemies, and prays
For those that curse him to his face;
And doth to all men still the same
That he would hope or wish from them.

His soul depends on grace alone:
This is the man thy face shall see,
And dwell forever, Lord, with thee.

Where the noontide will find them re-

The tempest now rages, my soul is dis-

And the pathway of peace I am losing.
And why should I stray with the flocks

In the desert where now they are roving ;
Where hunger and thirst, where conten-

And fierce conflicts their ruin are
proving?
A!i, when shall my woes and my wander-

And the follies that fill me with weeping?
O Shepherd of Israel, restore me that
peace,
Thou dost give to the flock thou art

A voice from the Shepherd now Lids me
return,
By the way where the foot-prints are
lying;
No longer to wander, no longer to mourn:
And homeward my spirit is flying.

O / "/ will be with thee. "
Though faint, yet pursuing, we go on our
way;
The Lord is our Leader, his word is our stay;
Though suffering, and sorrow, and trial be
near,
The Lord is our Refuge, and whom can we
fear ?
2 He raiseth the fallen, he cheereth the faint ;
The weak, and oppressed — he will hear their
complaint;
The way may be weary, and thorny the road,
But how can we falter ? — our help is in God !
3 And to his green pastures our footsteps
he leads;
His flock in the desert -how kindly lie feeds!
The lambs in his bosom he tenderly bears,
And brings back the wanderers all safe
from the snares.
i Though clouds may surround us, our God
is our light ;
Though storms rage around us, our God is
our might;
So, faint, yet pursuing, still onward wc come;
Through the land of their sojourn, thy I The Lord" is our Leader, and lr-aven is our

The Lord is my Shepherd; no want shall
I know;
I feed in green pastures; safe-folded I rest;
ne leadeth my soul where the still waters
flow,
Restores me when wandering, redeems
when oppressed.
2 Through the valley and shadow of death
though I stray,
Since thou art my Guardian, no evil I fear:
Thy rod shall defend me, thy staff be my
stay ;
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

And built it on the seas.
2 But who, among the sons of men,
May visit thine abode?
He that has hands from mischief clean,
Whose heart is right with God.
This is the man may rise, and take
The blessings of his grace;
This is the lot of those, that seek
The God of Jacob's face.
4 Now let our souls' immortal powers
To meet the Lord prepare,
Lift up their everlasting doors;

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 lav: —
"Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates!
Ye everlasting doors ! give way."
3 Loose all your bars of massy light,
And wide unfold the ethereal scene:
He claims those mansions as his right ;
Receive the King of glory in.
4 Who is the King of glory — who?
The Lord who all our foes o'ercame ;
Who sin, and death, and hell o'erthrew;
And Jesus is the conqueror's name.
5 Lo! his triumphal chariot waits,
And angels chant the solemn lay: —
"Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates!

Thy palace, Lord, above the sky;
Who shall ascend that blest abode,
And dwell so near his Maker, God?
3 He that abhors and fears to sin,
Whose heart is pure, whose hands are clean;
Him shall the Lord, the Saviour, bless,
And clothe his soul with righteousness.
4 These are the men, the pious race,
That seek the God of Jacob's face;
These shall enjoy the blissful sight,
And dwell in everlasting light.

Behold the King of glory nigh,
Who can this King of glory be?

To make the Lord, the Saviour, way;
Laden with spoils from earth and hell,
The conqueror comes with God to dwell.

I will exalt thee, Lord,
Thou hast exalted me;
Since thou hast silenced Satan's boasts,

2 My sins had brought me near
The grave of black despair;
I looked, but there was none to save,
Till I looked up in prayer.
3 All through the night, I wept,
But morning brought relief:
That hand, which broke my bones before.
Then broke my bonds of grief.
4 My grief to dancing turns,
For sackcloth joy he gives;
A moment, Lord, thine anger burns,
But long thy favor lives.

With thanks recall the seasons when
Ye also sought his face.

My threatening foes restrain;
Oh, tell me thou my helper art,

How was their fury foiled:

And on themselves recoiled.

Their virtue he approves;
He'll ne'er deprive them of his grace,
Nor leave the men he loves.
3 The heavenly heritage is theirs,
Their portion and their home;
He feeds them now, and makes them heirs
Of blessings long to come.
4 The haughty sinner I have seen,
Not fearing man, nor God;
Like a tall bay-tree, fair and green,
Spreading his arms abroad.
5 And, lo! he vanished from the ground,
Destroyed by hands unseen;
Nor root, nor branch, nor leaf, was found,
Where all that pride had been.
6 But mark the man of righteousness,
His several steps attend:
True pleasure runs through all his ways,
And peaceful is his end

Thy terror shall strike through thy foes,
And make the world obey.

A peaceful sceptre in thy hands,

Soon would I stretch my wings,
And fly, and make a long remove
From all these restless things.

If he commands their aid.

Great God, how oft did Israel prove
By turns thine anger and thy love!

How fickle and how false they be.

And made their travels long and vain;
A tedious inarch through unknown ways,

3 Oft, when they saw their brethren slain,
They mourned, and sought the Lord again ;
Called him the Rock of their abode,
Their high Redeemer, and their God.

The men who ne'er deserved to live;
His anger oft away he.turned,

And led them to his holy hill.

154 God's Eternity.
Through every age, eternal God!
Thou art our Rest, our safe Abode;
High was thy throne, ere heaven was made,
Or earth thy humble footstool laid.
2 Long hadst thou reigned, ere time began,
Or dust was fashioned into man;
And long thy kingdom shall endure,
When earth and time shall be no more.
3 But man, weak man, is born to die,
Made up of 'guilt and vanity;
Thy dreadful sentence, Lord! was just,
"Return, ye sinners! to your dust."
4 Death, like an overflowing stream,
Sweeps us away; our life's a dream;
An empty tale; a morning flower,
Cut down, and withered in an hour.
5 Teach us, 0 Lord ! how frail is man ;
And kindly lengthen out our span,
Till a wise care of piety
Fit us to die, and dwell with thee.
PSALM 91.
Divine Protection amid Dangers.
155
y He that hath made his refuge God,
Shall find a most secure abode;
Shall walk all day beneath his shade,
And there, at night, shall rest his head.
2 Then will I say, — " My God! thy power
Shall be my fortress and my tower;
I, who am formed of feeble dust,
Make thine almighty arm my trust."
66
3 Thrice happy man! thy Maker's care
Shall keep thee from the fowler's snare ;-
Satan, the fowler, who betrays
Unguarded souls a thousand ways.
4 If burning beams of noon conspire
To dart a pestilential fire;
God is thy life, — his wings are spread,
To shield thee with a healthful shade.
5 If vapors, with malignant breath,
Rise thick and scatter midnight death,
Israel is safe; the poisoned air
Grows pure, if Israel's God be there.
psalm 92.
The church is the garden of God.
156
Lord, 'tis a pleasant thing to stand
In gardens planted by thy hand;
Let me within thy courts be seen,
Like a young cedar fresh and green.
2 There grow thy saints in faith and love,
Blest with thine influence from above;
Not Lebanon, with all its trees,
Yields such a comely sight as these.
3 The plants of grace shall ever live;
Nature decays, but grace must thrive:
Time, that doth all things else impair,
Still makes them flourish strong and fair
4 Laden with fruits of age, they show,
The Lord is holy, just and true:
None that attend his gates, shall find
A God unfaithful or unkind.

Plucked from the destroyer's hand.
3 In the wilderness astray,
Hither, thither, while they roam,
Hungry, fainting by the way,
Far from refuge, shelter, home, —
4 Then unto the Lord they cry;
He inclines a gracious ear,
Sends deliverance from on high,
Rescues them from all their fear.
5 To a pleasant land he brings,
Where the vine and olive grow,
Where from flowery hills the springs
Through luxuriant valleys flow.
6 Oh, that men would praise the Lord
Fur his goodness to their race;
For the wonders of his word,
And the rjches of his grace.
jOn PSALM 107. MONTGOMERY.
1 O ~ j-fie Dangers of the Ocean.
They who toil upon the deep,
And, in vessels light and frail,
O'er the mighty waters sweep,
With the billow and the gale,
Mark what wonders God performs, —
When he speaks, and, uncoufined,
Rush to battle all his storms,
In the chariots of the wind.
2 Up to heaven their bark is whirled.
On the mountain of the wrave;
Down as suddenly 't is hurled
To the abysses of the grave;
To and fro they reel — they roll,
As intoxicate with wine;
Terrors paralyze their soul,
Helm they quit, and hope resign.
3 Then unto the Lord they cry;
He inclines a gracious ear,
Sends deliverance from on high.
Rescues them from all their fear:
Oh, that men would praise the Lord,
For his goodness to their race;
For the wonders of his word,
And the riches of his grace.

Awake my harp to sing;
Join all my powers the song to raise,
And morning incense bring.

And through the nations round,
Glad songs of praise will I prepare,
And there his name resound.

Thy glory is my song;
Though sinners speak against thy grace
With a blaspheming tongue.
2 When, in the form of mortal man,
Thy Son on earth was found,
With cruel slanders, false and vain,
They compassed him around.
3 Their miseries his compassion move,
Their peace he still pursued;
They render hatred for his love
And evil for his good.

Their malice raged without a cause;
Yet, with his dying breath,
He prayed for murderers on his cross,
And blessed his foes in death.
Lord! shall thy bright example shine
In vain before my eyes?
Give me a soul a-kin to thine,
To love mine enemies.
The Lord shall on my side engage,
And, in my Saviour's name,
I shall defeat their pride and rage,
Who slander and condemn.

Hallelujah.
Hallelujah! raise, oh, raise
To our God the song of praise:
All his servants join to sing
God our Saviour and our King.
Blessecl be for evermore
That dread name which we adore:
Hound the world his praise be sung,
Through all lands, in every tongue.
O'er all nations God alone,
Higher than the heavens his throne;
Who is like to God most high,
Infinite in majesty?
4 Yet to view the heavens he bends;
Yea, to earth he condescends;
Passing by the rich and great,
For the low and desolate.
5 He can raise the poor to stand
With the princes of the land;
Wealth upon the needy shower;
Set the meanest high in power.
6 He the broken spirit cheers;
Turns to joy the mourners tears;
Such the wonders of his ways ;
Praise his name — for ever praise.

From age to age, for evermore.
2 Blest be that name, supremely blest,
From the sun's rising to its rest:
Above the heavens his power is known ;
Through all the earth his goodness shown,
3 Who is like God ?— so great, so high,
He bows himself to view the sky;
And yet, with condescending grace,
Looks down upon the human race.
4 He hears the uncomplaining moan,
Of those who sit and weep alone;
He lifts the mourner from the dust,
And saves the poor in him who trust.

J- 7" Miracles attending Israel's "Journey.
1 When Israel, freed from Pharaoh's hand,
Left the proud tyrant and his land,
The tribes, with cheerful homage, own
Their King, — and Judah was his throne.
2 Across the deep their journey lay;
The deep divides to make them way:
Jordan beheld their march, and fled,
With backward current, to his head.
78
3 What power could make the deep divide —
Make Jordan backward roll his tide?
Why did ye leap, ye little hills?
And whence the fright that Sinai feels?
4 Let every mountain, every flood
Retire and know the approaching God,
The King of Israel: see him here;
Tremble, thou earth ; adore and fear.
5 He thunders, and all nature mourns,
The rock to standing pools he turns;
Flints spring with fountains at his word,
And fires and seas confess the Lord.
PSALM 115. watts.
The true God; our hope and trust.
191
Not to ourselves, who are but dust,
Not to ourselves is glory due;
Eternal God! thou only just,
Thou only gracious, wise and true!
2 The God we serve maintains his throne,
Above the clouds, beyond the skies:
Through all the earth his will is done;
He knows our groans, he hears our cries
3 O Israel! make the Lord thy hope,
Thy help, thy refuge, and thy rest;
The Lord shall build thy ruins up,
And bless the people and the priest.
4 The dead no more can speak thy praise,
They dwell in silence in the grave;
But we shall live to sing thy grace,
And tell the world thy power to save.

He that iu God confideth,
Like Ziou Mount shall be,
Which evermore abideth
Unmoved eternally.
As mountains, which defend her,
Jerusalem surround,
His saints secure to render,
God compasseth around.
The sinner's rod shall never
On just men's lot abide,
Lest upriglrt men should ever
To sin be turned aside
Thy goodness, Lord, our Saviour,
To all the good imparl ;
And ever show thy favor
To men of upright heart.
But those whose choice is rather
In crooked ways to go;
With sinners God shall gather;
On Israel peace bestow.
Great God of earth and heaven!
To thee our songs we raise;
To thee be glory given
And everlasting praise!

When God arose, the nation
From bondage to redeem,
The joy of our salvation
Came to us like a dream.
Our hearts with triumph bounded,
Our lips ran o'er with praise,
The heathen stood confounded
At God's mysterious ways.
2 They said, The Lord hath wonders
Wrought for his captives sad;
The Lord hath done.great wonders,
And therefore we are glad.
Lord, all the remnant weary
Bring back to Zion still,
As brooks in south lands dreary
Their thirsty channels fill.
3 Full many east in sadness
Their seed on parching soil,
"Who yet shall reap in gladness
The harvest of their toil.
He who in tears departed
With precious seed at morn,
Shall homeward fare light-hearted
With sheaves of iroldcn corn.

And all his glories infinite:
He crowns the meek, rewards the just,
And treads the wicked to the dust.

And looks, and loves his image there.

Make the Creator's name be known;
Loud as his thunder, shout his praise,
And sound it lofty as his throne.
3 Jehovah — 'tis a glorious word!
Oh, may it dwell on every tongue!
Put saints who best have known the Lord,
Are bound to raise the noblest song.

Which Gabriel plays on every chord:
From all below and all above,
Loud hallelujahs to the Lord!

To God, their Creator, let all creatures
raise
The song of thanksgiving, the chorus of

2 Though hidden from sight, God sits on

Yet here by his works their Creator is
known:
The world shines a mirror its Maker to
show,
And heaven views its image reflected below.
3 By knowledge supreme, by wisdom divine,
Godgovernsthe earth with gracious design.
O'er beast, bird, and insect his providence
reigns,
Whose will first created, whose love still
sustains.
4 And man, his last work, with reason en-
dued,
Though fallen through sin, by grace is
renewed :
To God, his Redeemer, let man ever raise
The song of thanksgiving, the chorus of
praise.

to sing;
Before his Greator let Israel rejoice,
And children of Zion be glad in their

2 And let them his name extol in the dance,
With timbrel and harp his praises ex-
press ;
Jehovah takes pleasure his saints to ad-
vance,
And with his salvation the humble to
bless.
3 Aloud let his saints in glory rejoice,
And rest undismayed, with songs in the
night;
The praise of Jehovah their lips shall
employ;
A sword in their right hand, two-edged

To fetter their kings, their princes to
bind;
To execute on them the long-decreed doom ;
Such honor for ever the holy shall find.

No midnight shade, no clouded sun,

Prayer ia the soul's sincere desire,
Uttered or unexpressed;
The motion of a hidden fire
That trembles in the breast.
2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
Tlie falling of a tear,
The upward glancing of an eye,
When none but God is near.
3 Pray, r i< the simplest form of speech
That infant lips can try;
Prayer the sabhmest strains that rear1;
The Majesty on high.
4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath,
The Christian's native air:
His watchword at the gates of death —
He enters heaven with prayer.
5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice,
Returiiinir from his way-;
While angels in their songs rejoice,'
Ami cry — "Behold he prays!"
O thou, by whom we come to God —
The Life, the Truth, the Way;
The path of prayer thyself hast trod;
Lord! teach OS how to pray.

Prayer is the breath of God in man,
Returning whence it came;
Love is the sacred fire within,
And prayer the rising flame.

And soothes the troubled breast;
Yields comfort to the mourning soul,
And to the weary rest.

He hath an ear to hear;
To him there's music in a sigh,
And beauty in a tear.

To have his wants supplied,
Since he for sinners intercedes,
Who once for sinners died.

Before his throne of grace,

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

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

Sustain my trembling heart.

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

■ 7 " The Throne of Grace''
Behold the throne of grace!
The promise calls me near;
There .Ie-.ii< shows a smiling face,
And waits to answer prayer.
2 That rich atoning blood.
Which sprinkled round I see,
Provides for those who come to God
An all-prevailing plea.
3 My soul! ask what thou wilt;
Thou canst not be too bold:
Since his own blood for thee he spilt,
What else can he withhold?
4 Thine image, Lord, bestow,
Thy presence and thy love;
I ask to serve thee here below,
And reign with thee above.
5 Teach me to live by faith;
Conform my will to thine;
Let me victorious be in death,
And then in glory shine.
O ^ U " Thy Holy Spirit."
Lord, bid thy light arise
On all thy people here,
And when we raise our longing eyes
Oh, may we find thee near!
2 Thy Holy Spirit send,
To quicken every soul;
And hearts the most rebellious bend
To thy divine control.
3 Let all that own thy name
Thy sacred image bear;
And light in every heart the flame
Of watchfulness and prayer.
4 Since in thy love we see
Our only sure relief,
Oh, raise our earthly minds to thee,
And help our unbelief.

See, what a living stone
The builders did refuse:
Yet God hath built his church thereon,
In spite of envious Jews.
2 The Bcribe and angry priest
Reject thine only Son;
Yet on this rock shall Zion rest,
A- the chief corner-stone.
3 The work, 0 Lord! is thine,
And wondrous in our eyes;
This day declares it all divine;
This dav did Jesus rise.
4 This is the glorious day,
That our Redeemer made:
Let us rejoice, and sing, and pray;
Let all the church be glad.

Oh, may we all remember well
The night oi death draws near.

Upon our beds to rest;
So death will soon disrobe us all
Of what we here possessed.
S Lord, keep us safe this night,
Secure from all our fears;
May angels guard us while we sleep,
Till morning light appears.
4 And when we early rise,
And view the unwearied sun,
May we set out to win the prize,
And after glory run.

And we from time remove,
Oh, may we in thy bosom rest,
The bosom of thy love.

O / O Evening Confession,
From the recesses of a lowly spirit,
Our humble prayer ascends; 0 Father!
hear it,
Upsoaring on the wings of awe and meek-
ness;
Forgive its weakness!
2 Let evil thoughts and spirits flee before us; 2 We see thy hand; it leads us, it supports us!
Till morning cometh, watch, 0 Father!
o'er us;
In soul and body thou from harm defend us,
Thine angels send us.
3 Let pious thoughts be ours when sleep
o'ertakes us;
Our earliest thoughts be thine when morn-
ing wakes us;
All sick and mourners, we to thee com-
mend them,
Do thou befriend them.
4 We have no refuge, none on earth to
aid us,
But thee, 0 Father! who thine own hast
made us;
Keep us in life; forgive our sins; deliver
Us now and ever.
5 Praise be to thee through Jesus our salva-
tion,
God, three in one, the Ruler of creation,
High throned, o'er all thine eye of mercy
casting,
Lord everlasting!
140
We hear thy voice; it counsels and it
courts us:
And then we turn away; and still thy
kindness
Forgives our blindness.
3 Oh, how long-suffering, Lord! but thou
delightest
To win with love the wandering; thou in-
vitest,
By smiles of mercy, not by frowns orterr< irs,
Man from his errors.
1 Father and Saviour! plant within each
bosom
The seeds of holiness, and 1 >id them 1 >loss< mi
Infragraneeandinbeautybright and vernal,
And spring eternal.
5 Then place them in thine everlasting gar-

Where angels walk, and seraphs are the

Where every flower escaped through
death's dark portal,
Becomes immortal.

May taste his grace, and learn his name;

Throughout the earth is heard;

The wanderer surely guiding,
It makes the simple wise;
And, evermore abiding,
Unfailing joy supplies.

Than lurks within the mine;
And daintiest fare less pleasure
Yields than this food divine.
How wise each kind monition!

How safe the saints' condition,
How great is their reward!

<\v£ Sovereignty.— Rom. 9 : 20.
May not the sovereign Lord on high
Dispense his favors as he will,
Choose some to life, while others die,
And yet be just and gracious still?
2 What if he means to show his grace,
And his electing love employs
To mark out some of mortal race,
And form them fit for heavenly joys?
3 Shall man reply against the Lord,
And call his Maker's ways unjust,
The thunder of whose dreadful word
Can crush a thousand worlds to dust !
4 But, 0 my soul ! if truth so bright
Should dazzle and confound thy sight,
Yet still his written will obey,
And wait the great decisive day.
I /-) Q E. SCOTT.
*t'"'»3 Unsearchablencss.
What finite power, with ceaseless toil,
Can fathom the eternal Mind?
Or who the almighty Three in One
By searching, to perfection find ?
2 Angels and men in vain may raise,
Harmonious, their adoring songs;
The laboring thought sinks down, opprest,
And praises die upon their tongues.
3 Yet would I lift my trembling voice
A portion of his ways to sing;
And mingling with his meanest works,
My humble, grateful tribute bring.

Triumphant Lord, thy goodness reigns
Through all the wide celestial plains;
And its full streams unceasing flow
Down to the abodes of men below.
2 Through nature's work its glories shine;
The cares of providence are thine;
And grace erects our ruined frame
A fairer temple to thy name.
3 Oh, give to every human heart
To taste, and feel how good thou art ;
With grateful love and reverent fear,
To know how blest thy children are.

To him that earth's foundation laid;
Praise to the God whose strong decrees
Sway the creation as he please.
•2 Praise to the goodness of the Lord,
Who rules his people by his word;
And there, as strong as his decrees,
He sets his kindest promises.
3 Oh, for a strong, a lasting faith
To credit what the Almighty saith!
To embrace the message of his Son,
And call the joys of heaven our own!
4 Then, should the earth's old pillars shake,
And all the wheels of nature break,
Our steady souls should fear no more
Than solid rocks when billows roar.

The spacious firmament on high,
With all the blue ethereal sky.
And spangled heavens, a sliming frame.
Their great Original proclaim:
The unwearied son, from day to day,
Does his Creator's power display;
And publishes to every land
The work of an almighty hand.
2 Boob as the evening shades prevail,
The moon takes up the wondrous tale;
And nightly, to the listening earth,
Repeats the story of her birth;
While all the stars that round her burn.
And all the planets in their turn,
Confirm the tidings as they roll,
And spread the truth from pole to pole.
3 What though in solemn silence, all
More round the dark terrestrial bail, —
What though do real voire nor sound
Amid their radiant orbs be found, —
In reason's ear they all rejoice,
And utter forth a glorious voice,
For ever singing as they shine, —
" The hand that made US is divine."

He treasures up his bright designs,
And works his sovereign will.
3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take!
The clouds ye so much dread,
Are big with mercy, and will break
In blessings on vour head.

i Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
5 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
b' Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.

433 Holiness.— Psalm 111 : 9.
Holy and reverend is the name
Of our eternal King,
Thrice holy Lord! the angels cry;
Thrice holy! let us sing.
2 The deepest reverence of the mind,
Pay, O my soul! to God;
Lift with thy hands a holy heart
To his sublime abode.
3 With sacred awe pronounce his name,
Whom words nor thoughts can reach;
A broken heart shall please him more
Than the best forms of speech.
4 Thou holy God! preserve our souls
From all pollution free;
The pure in heart arc thy delight,
And they thy face shall see.

Holy, holy, holy Lord!
Heaven is still with anthems ringing;
Earth takes up the angels' cry,
Holy, holy, holy, singing,

2 Ever thus in God's high praises,
Brethren, let our tongues unite,
While our thoughts his greatness raises,
And our love his gifts excite:
With his seraph train before him,
With his holy church below,
Thus unite we to adore him,
Bid we thus our anthem flow.

162
Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise thee
For the bliss thy love bestows;
For the pardoning grace that saves me,
And the peace that from it flows :
Help, 0 God, my weak endeavor;
This dull soul to rapture raise;
Thou must light the flame, or never
Can my love be warmed to praise.
2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee,
Wretched wanderer, far astray;
Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee
From the paths of death away ;
Praise, with love's devoutest feeling,
Him who saw thy guilt-born fear,
And, the light of hope revealing,
Bade the blood-stained cross appear.
3 Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling
Vainly would my lips express :
Low before thy footstool kneeling,
Deign thy suppliant's prayer to bless;
Let thy grace, my soul's chief treasure,
Love's pure flame within me raise;
And, since words can never measure,
Let my life show forth thy praise.

7"Atf Nativity.
Hark! the herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born King;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!"
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Jo'm the triumph of the skies;
With the angelic host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
Christ, by highest heaven adored;
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold him come,
172
Offspring of the Virgin's womb :
Vailed in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail the incarnate Deity,
Pleased as man with men to dwell;
Jesus, our Tmmanuel!
3 Hail! the heaven-born Prince of peace!
Hail! the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
Risen with healing in his wings.
Mild he lavs his glory by,
Born thai man no more may die:
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.

Songs of praise shall crown that day;

Left for us his glad abode;
Stooping from his throne of bliss,
To this darksome wilderness.

Making this poor earth his home;
Come to bear our sin's sail load;

Bright and joyful is the morn;
For to us a Child is born;
From the highest realms of heaven
Unto us a Son is given.

On his vesture, and his thigh,
Names most awful, names most high.

Yield to Christ the homage meei ;
From his manger to his throne,
Homage due to God alone.

Hail the night, all hail the morn,
When the Prince of Peace was born!
When, amid the wakeful fold,
Tidings good the angels told.
2 Now our solemn chant we raise
Duly to the Saviour's praise;
Now with carol hymns we bless
Christ the Lord, our Righteousness.
:; While resounds the joyful cry,
" Glory be to God on high,
Peace on earth, good-will to men!"
Gladly we respond, "Amen!"
4 Thus we greet this holy day,
Pouring forth our festive lay;
Thus we tell, with saintly mirth,
Of Emmanuel's wondrous birth. 173

When Jordan hushed his waters still,
And silence slept on Zion's hill;
When Salem's shepherds thro' the night
Watched o'er their flocks by starry light;
2 Hark! from the midnight hills around,
A voice of more than mortal sound
In distant hallelujahs stole,
Wild murmuring o'er the raptured soul.
3 On wheels of light, on wings of flame,
The glorious hosts of Zion came;
High heaven with songs of triumph rung,
While thus they struck theirharpsandsung:
4 " 0 Zion, lift thy raptured eye;
The long-expected hour is nigh ;
The joys of nature rise again,
The Prince of Salem comes to reign.
5 " He comes to cheer the trembling heart,
Bids Satan and his host depart;
Again the Daystar gilds the gloom,
Again the bowers of Eden bloom."
6 O Zion! lift thy raptured eye;
The long-expected hour is nigh;
The joys of nature rise again:
The Prince of Salem comes to reign.

In Satan's bondage held;

The iron fetters yield.

To clear the mental ray,
And, on the eyes long closed in night,
To pour celestial dav.

And greet, from all their holy heights,

Her silent groves of palm.

It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold;
" Peace to the earth, good-will to man,
From heaven's all-gracious King:"
The earth in solemn stillness lay,
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still celestial music floats
O'er all the weary world;
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on heavenly wing.
And ever o'er its Babel sounds,
The blessed angels sing.
0 ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending lew,
Who toil along the climbing way,
With painful steps and slow; —
Look up! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh, rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing!
For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophet-bards foretold.
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold!
182
When peace shall over all the earth
Its final splendors fling,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing!

I 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 hath made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, —
" Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one.
Stoop down, and drink, and live!"
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, —
" 1 am this dark world's light;
Look unto me, thy morn shall rise
And all thy day be1 bright!"
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In him my Star, my Sun;
And in that light of life I'll walk,
Till all my journey's done.

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

Around thy steps below;

A weight of sorrow hung;
Yet no ungentle, murmuring word
Escaped thy silent tongue.
3 Thy 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, 0 Lord, to grieve
Far more for others' sins than all
The wrongs that we receive.

On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt od all my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord! that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ, my God;
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to his blood.

Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown ? .

Spreads o'er his body on the tree;
Then I am dead to all the globe,
And all the globe is dead to me.

Love so amazing, so divine,
Lemands my soul, my life, my all.

In evil long I took delight,
Unawed by shame or fear,
Till a new object struck my sight,
Ami stopped my wild career.
2 I saw One hanging on a tree,
In agony and blood,
"Who feed his languid eyes on me,
As near his cross I stood.
3 Sure never, till my latest breath,
Can I forget that look;
It Beemed to charge m<' with his death,
Though not a word he spoke.
4 My conscience felt and owned the guilt;
And plunged me in despair;
i a my -in- his blood had spilt,
And helped to nail him there.
5 A second look he gave, which said,
"I freely all forgive;
This blood is for thy ransom paid;
I die, that thou mayst live."
G Thus, while his death my sin displays
In all its blackest hue,
Such is the mystery of grace,
Jt seals my pardon too.

Of our unworthy race:

Ere stars were seen above;

Thou art gone up on high
To mansions in the skies,
And round thy throne unceasingly
The songs of praise arise.
2 But we are lingering here
With sin and care oppressed:
Lord! send thy promised Comforter,
And lead us to thy rest!
3 Thou art gone up on high:
But thou didst first come down,
Through earth's most bitter misery
To pass unto thy crown.
4 And girt with griefs and fears
Our onward course must be;
But only let that path of tears
Lead us at last to thee!
5 Thou art gone up on high:
But thou shalt come again
With all the brighl ones of the sky
Attendant in thy train.
G Oh, by thy saving power
So make us live and die,
That we may stand in that dread hour,
At thy right hand on high!

Lift us up from earth to heaven,
Give us wings of faith and love,
Gales of holy aspirations,
Wafting us to realms above;
That, with hearts and minds uplifted,
We with Christ our Lord may dwell,
Where he sits enthroned in glory,
In the heavenly citadel.
So at last, when he appeareth,
We from out our graves may spring,
With our youth renewed like eagles',
Flocking round our heavenly King,
Caught up on the clouds of heaven,
And may meet him in the air,
Rise to realms where he is reigning,
And may reign for ever there.

" 77^ Debt of Love "
Come, every pious heart,
That loves the Saviour's name,
Your noblest powers exert
To celebrate his fame;
Tell all above, and all below,
The debt of love to him you owe.
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 ?
From the dark grave he .rose,
The mansions of the dead,
And thence his mighty foes
In glorious triumph led;
Up through the sky the Conqueror rode,
And reigns on high, the Saviour God.
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.

Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice;
Rejoice! — again I say, rejoice!

Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice;
Rejoice! — again I say, rejoice!

And take his servants up

As when in silence vernal showers
Descend and cheer the fainting flowers,
So, in the secrecy of love,
Falls the sweet influence from above.

In holy silence of the mind,
While every grace maintains its bloom,
Diffusing wide its rich perfume.
3 Nor let these blessings be confined
To me, but poured on all mankind,
Till earth's wild wastes in verdure rise,
And a young Eden bless our eyes.

In all thy plentitude of grace,
Where'er the foot of man hath trod,
Descend on our apostate race.
2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love,
To preach the reconciling word;
Give power and unction from above,
Where'er the joyful sound is heard.
3 Be darkness, at thy coming, light;
Confusion, order, in thy path;
Souls without strength in phe with mighty
Bid mercy triumph over wrath.

The triumphs of the cross record;
The name of Jesus glorify,
Till every people call him Lord,

With ardent wish my heart aspires, —
Can it be less than power divine,
That animates these strong desires?
3 And, when my cheerful hope can say, —
I love my God and taste his grace, —
Lord! is it not thy blissful ray,
That brings this dawn of sacred peace ?

For ever dwell, O God of love!
And light and heavenly peace impart, —

Nature must count her gold but dross,

And walks the ways of God no more,
Is but esteemed almost a saint,

Of all the spirits round his throne;
Their natures, when compared with his,
Are neither holy, just, nor wise.

Who spring from dust, and dwell in clay/
Touched by the finger of thy wrath,

When thou with clouds shalt come
To judge the nations at thy bar;

Not all the outward forms on earth,
Nor rites that God has given,
Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth,
Can raise a soul to heaven.
2 The sovereign will of God alone
Creates us heirs of grace;
Born in the image of his Son,
A new, peculiar race.
3 The Spirit, like some heavenly wind,
Breathes on the sons of flesh,
New-models all the carnal mind,
And forms the man afresh.
4 Our quickened souls awake and rise
From the long sleep of death;
On heavenly things we fix our eyes,
And praise employs our breath.

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

Loving-kindness." — Ps. 36: 7.
Awake, my soul, to joyful lays,
And sing the great Redeemer's praise;
He justly claims a song from me:
His loving-kindness, oh, how free!
He saw me ruined in the fall,
Yet loved me, notwithstanding all;
He saved me from my lost estate:
Hi* loving-kindness, oh, how great!
Though numerous hosts of mighty foes,
Though earth and hell my way oppose,
He safely leads my soul along:
His loving-kindness, oh, how strong J
HIDING PLACE. L. M.
4 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,
Has gathered thick and thundered loud,
He near my soul has always stood:
His loving-kindness, oh, how good!
5 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale;
Soon all my mortal powers must fail:
Oh, may my last expiring breath
His loving-kindness sing in death!
G Then let me mount and soar away
To the bright world of endless day;
And sing, with rapture and surprise,
His loving-kindness in the skies!

While, in the various range of thought,

2 Shall God invite you from above?
Shall Jesus urge his dying love?
Shall troubled conscience give you pain :

UZJ.U Psalm 88.
While life prolongs its precious light,
Mercy is found, and peace is given ;
But soon, ah! soon, approaching night
Shall blot out every hope of heaven.
2 While God invites, how blest the day!
How sweet the gospel's charming sound!
Come, sinners, haste, oh, haste away,
While yet a pardoning God is found.
3 Soon, borne on time's most rapid wing,
Shall death command you to the grave,
Before his bar your spirits bring,
And none be found to hear or save.

4 In that lone land of deep despair
No Sabbath's heavenly light shall rise;
No God regard your bitter prayer,
Nor Saviour call you to the skies.
5 Now God invites — how blest the day!
How sweet the gospel's charming souncV
Come, sinners, haste, oh, haste away,
While yet a pardoning God is found.
vtf / "Not always strive."
Say, sinner! hath a voice within
Oft whispered to thy secret soul,
Urged thee to leave the ways of sin,
And yield thy heart to God's control?
2 Sinner ! it was a heavenly voice, —
It was the Spirit's gracious call;
It bade thee make the better choice,
And haste to seek in Christ thine all.
3 Spurn not the call to life and light;
Regard, in time, the warning kind;
That call thou mayst not always slight,
And yet the gate of mercy find.
4 God's Spirit will not always strive
With hardened, self-destroying man:
Ye who persist his love to grieve,
May never hear his voice again.
5 Sinner! perhaps, this very day,
Thy last accepted time may be:
Oh, shouldst thou grieve him now away,
Then hope may never beam on thee.

Now reveal thy smiling face;
Grant the joy of sin forgiven,
Foretaste of the bliss of heaven.
3 All my guilt to thee is known;
Thou art righteous, thou alone:
All my help is from thy cross,
All beside I count but loss.
4 Lord, in thee I now .believe;
Wilt thou, wilt thou not forgive?
Helpless at thy feet I lie;

«" " Cleanseth from all sin."
I am coming to the cross;
I am poor and weak and blind;
I am counting all but dross;
I shall full salvation find. — Cho.
2 Long my heart has sighed for thee;
Long lias evil dwelt within;
Jesus sweetly speaks to me,
I will cleanse you from all siu. — Clio.
3 Here I give my all to thee, —
Friends and time and earthly store;
Soul and body thine to be —
Wholly thine for evermore. — Cuo.

Now I feel the blood applied;
I am prostrate in the dust ;
I with Christ am crucified. — Cno.

Does the Gospel word proclaim
Rest for those thai weary lie?
Then, my soul, advance thy claim —
Sure that promise speaks to thee!
2 B irdened with a load of sin,
Harrassed with tormenting doubt,
Hourly conflicts from within.
Sourly crOS8es from without; —
'6 All my little strength is gone,
Sink I must without supply;
Sure upon the earth is none
Can more weary be than 1.
4 In the ark the weary dove
Found a welcome resting-place;
Thus my spirit longs to prove
Rest in Christ, the Ark of grace.
5 Tempest-tossed I long have been,
And the flood increases fast;
Open, Lord, and take me in,
Till the storm be overpast!
(-7 o Q NEWTO
/ » O "Lovest thou Me?"
'Tis a point I long to know,
Oft it causes anxious thought;
Do I love the Lord, or no?
Am I his, or am I not?
2 Could my heart so hard remain,
Prayer a task and burden prove,
Every trifle give me pain,
If I knew a Saviour's love?
3 Yet I mourn my stubborn will,
Find my sin a grief and thrall;
Should I grieve for what I feel,
If I did not love at all?
4 Could T joy with saints to meet,
Choose the ways I once abhorred,
Find at times the promise sweet,
If I did not love the Lord?
5 Lord, decide the doubtful case,
Thou who art thy people's Sun;
Shine upon thy work of grace,
If it be indeed begun.

Make and keep me pure within;

Freely let me take of thee;

/ O U Ephesians 6 : 14.
Stand up, my soul, shake off thy fears,
And gird the gospel armor on;
March to the gates of endless joy,
Where Jesus, thy great Captain's gone.
2 Hell and thy sins resist thy course;
But hell and sin are vanquished foes;
Thy Saviour nailed them to the cross,
And sung the triumph when he rose.
3 Then let my soul march boldly on,—
Press forward to the heavenly gate;
There peace and joy eternal reign,
Anil glittering robes for conquerors wait.
4 There shall I wear a starry crown,
And triumph in almighty grace,
While all the armies of the skies
Join in my glorious Leader's praise.

/ O / Isaiah 40 : 28 31.
Awake, our souls! away, our fears!
Let every trembling thought be gone;
Awake, and run the heavenly race,
And put a cheerful courage on!
2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road,
And mortal spirits tire and faint;
But they forget the mighty God,
Who feeds the strength of every saint —
3 The mighty God, whose matchless powei
I< ever new and ever young,
And firm endures, while endless years
Their everlasting circles run.
278
From thee, the overflowing spring,
Our souls shall drink a fresh supply;
While such as trust their native strength
Shall melt away, and droop, and die.
Swift as an eagle cuts the air,
We'll mount aloft to thine abode;
On wings of love our souls shall fly,
Nor tire amid the heavenly road!

Awake, my soul! lift up thine eyes;
See where thy foes against thee rise,
In long array, a numerous host;
Awake, my soul ! or thou art lost.
2 See where rebellious passions rage,
And fierce desires and lusts engage;
The meanest foe of all the train
Has thousands and ten thousands slain.
3 Thou treadest on enchanted ground;
Perils and snares beset thee round;
Beware of all, guard every part —
But most the traitor in thy heart.

The powers of earth, and powers of hell:
The Man of Calvary triumphed here:
Why should his faithful followers fear?

Of heavenly truth, and heavenly love.

/ 3 4 "If God be for us."— Rom. 8:31.
God's glory is a wondrous thing,
Most strange in all its ways,
And, of all things on earth, least like
What men agree to praise.
2 Oh, blest is he to whom is given
The instinct that can tell
That God is on the field, when he
Is most invisible!
:) And blest is he who can divine
Where real right doth lie,
And dares to take the side that seems
Wrong to man's blindfold eye!
4 Oh, learn to scorn the praise of men!
Oh, learn to lose with God!
For .Jesus won the world through shame,
And beckons thee his road.
5 And right is right, Bmce God is God;
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty.
To falter would be sin!

Your harps, ye trembling saints,
Down from the willows take:
Loud to the praise of love divine
Bid every string awake.

We are not far from home;
And nearer to our house above
We every moment come.

St longer and brighter shine;
Nor present things, nor things to come,
Shall quench the spark divine.

Nor feel the heavenly flame,
Then is the time to trust our God,
And rest upon his name.
5 Soon shall our di ibts and fears
Subside at his control;
His loving-kindness shall break through

I HEATH,
"Watch."— Matt. 26:41.
My soul, be on thy guard,
Ten thousand foes arise;
And hosts of sin are pressing hard
To draw thee from the skies.
2 Oh, watch, and fight, and pray I
The battle ne'er give o'er;
Renew it boldly every day,
And help divine implore.
3 Ne'er think the victory won,
Nor lay thine armor down;
Thine arduous work will not be done,
Till thou obtain thy crown.
4 Fight on, mv soul, till death
Shall bring thee to thy God!
He'll take thee ..t thy parting breath,
Up to his blest abode.
4 That, having all things done,
And all your conflicts past,
You may o'ercoine through Christ alone,
And stand entire at last.
5 From strength to strength go on;
Wrestle, and fight, and pray;
Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day.
6 Still let the Spirit cry
In all his soldiers, come!
Till Christ the Lord descend from high,
And take the conquerors home.
762
C. WESLEY.
The Warfare.— Ef>!i. 6 : 14.
Soldiers of Christ, arise,
And put your armor on,
Strong in the strength which God supplies
Through his eternal Son.
Strong in the Lord of hosts
And in his mighty power,
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.
Stand then in his great might,
With all his strength endued,
And take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God.
DODDRIDGE
7^3 Watchfulness.— Luke 12 : 37.
Ye servants of the Lord!
Each in his office wait,
Observant of his heavenly word,
And watchful at his gate.
2 Let all your lamps be bright,
And trim the golden flame;
Gird up your loins as in his sight,
For awful is his name.
3 Watch, — 'tis your Lord's command;
And while Ave speak he's near;
Mark the first signal of his hand,
And ready all appear.
4 Oh, happy servant he,
In such a posture found!
He shall his Lord with rapture see,
And be with honor crowned.

Matthew 6 : 25-34.
Sometimes a light surprises
The Christian while he sings;
It is the Lord, who rises
With healing in his wings:
When comforts are declining,
He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining,
To cheer it after rain.
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 •
B.'ing with it what it may.
It can bring with it nothing,
Bat he will bear us through;
Who gives the lilies clothing,
Will clothe his people too:
Beneath the spreading heavens,
No creature but is fed;
And he who feeds the ravens,
Will give his children bread.
Though vine nor fig-tree neither,
Their wonted fruit should bear,
Though all the fields should wither,
Nor flocks nor herds be there;
Yet God the same abiding,
His praise shall tune my voice,
For while in him confiding,
I cannot but rejoice.
769
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace."
In heavenly love abiding,
No change my heart shall fear,
And safe is such confiding,
For nothing changes here:
The storm may roar without me,
My heart may low be laid,
But God is round about me,
And can I be dismayed?
2 Wherever he may guide me,
No want shall turn me back;
My Shepherd is beside me,
And nothing can I lack:
His wisdom ever waketh,
His sight is never dim:
He knows the way he taketh,
And I will walk with him.
3 Green pastures are before me,
Which yet I have not seen;
Bright skies will soon be o'er me,
Where darkest clouds have been;
My hope I cannot measure;
My path to life is free;
My Saviour has my treasure,
And he will walk with me.

We are living, we are dwelling,
In a grand and awful time,
In an age on ages telling,
To be living is sublime.
Hark ! the waking up of nations,
Gog and Magog to the fray.
Hark! what soundeth? is creation
Groaning for its latter day?
2 AVill ye play, then, will ye dally,
With your music and your wine ?
Up! it is Jehovah's rally!
God's own arm hath need of thine.
Hark! the Onset! will you fold your
Faith-clad arms in lazy lock?
Up, oh, up, thou drowsy soldier;
Worlds are charging to the shock.
3 Worlds are charging — heaven beholding,
Thou hast but an hoar to fight;
Now the blazoned cross unfolding,
On — right onward, for the right!
On! let all the soul within you
For the truth's sake go abroad!
(Strike! let every nerve and sinew
Tell on ages — tell for God!

-Ps. 91.
i Is The Divine Protection.
Call Jehovah thy salvation,
Rest beneath the Almighty's shade;
In his secret habitation,
Dwell, and never be dismayed:
There no tumult can alarm thee,
Thou shalt dread no hidden snare;
Guile nor violence can harm -thee,
In eternal safeguard there.
2 From the sword, at noonday wasting,
From the noisome pestilence,
In the depth of midnight, blasting,
God shall be thy sure defence:
Fear not thou the deadly quiver,
When a thousand feel the blow;
Mercy shall thy soul deliver,
Though ten thousand be laid low.
3 Since, with pure and firm affection,
Thou on God hast set thy love,
With the wings of his protection,
He will shield thee from above;
Thou shalt call on him in trouble,
He will hearken, he will save;
Here, for grief, reward thee double,
Crown with life beyond the grave.

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

To that celestial hill.

On faith's strong eagle pinions rise,
And force your passage to the skies,
And scale the mount of God.

We shall before his face appear,
And by his side sit down;
To patient faith the prize is sure;
And all that to the end endure
The cross, shall wear the crown.

And you and I ascend at last,
Triumphant with our Head.

0 Lord! how happy should we be,
If we could cast our care on thee,
If we from self could rest ;
And feel, at heart, that One above,
In perfect wisdom, perfect love,
Is working for the best!
2 How far from this our daily life,
Ever disturbed by anxious strife,
By sudden, wild alarms!
Oh, could we but relinquish all
Our earthly props, and simply fall
On thine almighty arms! —
3 Could we but kneel, and cast our load,
Ev'n while we pray, upon our God,
Then rise, with lightened cheer,
Sure that the Father, who is nigh
To still the famished raven's cry,
Will hear, in that we fear!
i Lord! make these faithless hearts of oura
Such lessons learn from birds and flowers;
Make them from self to cease,
Leave all things to a Father's will,
And taste, before him lying still,
Ev'n in affliction, peace.

Jesus demands this heart of mine,
Demands my love, my joy, my care;
But ah! how dead to things divine,
How cold my best affections are!
2 'Tis sin, alas! with dreadful power,
Divides my Saviour from my sight;
Oh, for one happy, cloudless hour
Of sacred freedom, sweet delight!
3 Come, gracious Lord! thy love can raise
My captive powers from sin and death,
And fill my heart and life with praise,
And tune my last expiring breath.
Qnn RAY PALMER.
"U* " I am the living bread."1
Away from earth my spirit turns,
Away from every transient good;
With strong desire my bosom burns,
To feast on heaven's immortal food.
2 Thou, Saviour, art the living bread;
Thou wilt my every want supply:
By thee sustained, and cheered, and led,
I'll press through dangers to the sky.
3 What though temptations oft distress,
And sin assails and breaks my peace;
Thou wilt uphold, and save, and bless,
And bid the storms of passion cease.
4 Then let me take thy gracious hand,
And walk beside thee onward still;
Till my glad feet shall safely stand,
For ever firm on Zion's hill.

That hails a new creation;
Through all the tumult and the strife,

It finds an echo in my soul —

Songs in the night he giveth;
No Btorm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that refuge dinging;
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?
3 I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the blue above it ;
And day by day this pathway smooths,
Since Brsl I learned to love it;
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
A fountain ever springing;
All things are mine since I am his —

And thus he bound me to him.
And round my heart still closely twine
Those ties which naught can sever,
For I am his, and he is mine,
For ever and for ever.

He bled, he died to save me;
And not alone the gift of life,
But his own self he gave me.
Naught that I have my own I call,

All power to him is given,
To guard me on my onward course,
And bring me safe to heaven.

To nerve my faint endeavor:

And then to rest for ever!

Let worldly minds the world pursue —
It has no charms for me;
Once I admired its trifles too,
But grace hath set me free.
2 Its joys can now no longer please,
Nor ev'n content afford:
Far from my heart be joys like these,
For I have seen the Lord.
3 As by the light of opening day
The stars are all concealed,
So earthly pleasures fade away
When Jesus is revealed.

Creatures no more divide my choice — ■
I bid them all depart;
His name, his love, his gracious voice,
Have fixed my roving heart.

A worthless worm like me?

And wholly live to thee.

Like thy beloved name;
Nor aught beneath the skies inspire
My heart with equal flame.
Where'er I look, my wondering eyes
Unnumbered blessings sec;
But what is life, with all its bliss,
If once compared with thee?
Hast thou a rival in my breast ?
Search, Lord, for thou canst tell
If auglit can raise my passions thus,
Or please my soul so well.
No; thou art precious to my heart,

For ever let thy boundless grace
My sweetest thoughts employ.

Though the ni.uht be dark and drear,

Fierce though Hash the lightnings v<'<\.
Darkly though the storm-cloud's scowling
O'er the sailor's anxious head; —
Thou canst calm the raging ocean,
All its noise and tumult still.
Hush the tempest's wild commotion,
At the bidding of thy will.
3 Thus my heart the hope will cherish,
While to thee I lift mine eve,
Tin hi wilt save me * re I perish,
Thou wilt hear the sailor's cry:
And though mast and sail be riven,
Soon life's voyage will be o'er;
Safely moored in heaven's wide haven,
Storm and tempest vex no more.

o29 Philippians 1: 23.
Ye angels! who stand round the throne,
And view my Immanuel's face, —
In rapturous songs make him known,
Oh, tune your soft harps to his praise:
He formed you the spirits you are,
So happy, so noble, so good;
"When others sank down in despair,
Confirmed by his power, ye stood.
2 Ye saints! who stand nearer than they,
And cast your bright crowns at his feet,
His grace and his glory display,
And all his rich mercy repeat;
He snatched you from hell and the grave,
He ransomed from death and despair:
For you he was mighty to save,
Almighty to bring you safe there.
?> Oh, when will the period appear
"When I shall unite in your song?
I 'm weary of lingering here,
And I to your Saviour belong!
I want — oh, I want to be there,
To sorrow and sin bid adieu —
Your joy and your friendship to share —
To wonder, and worship with you!

My Saviour, whom absent I love,
Whom, not having seen, I adore,
"Whose name is exalted above
All glory, dominion, and power, —
Dissolve thou those bands that detain
My soul from her portion in thee;
Ah, strike off this adamant chain,
And make me eternally free!
2 When that happy era begins,
When arrayed in thy glories I shine,
Nor grieve any more, by my sins,
The bosom on which I recline,
Oh, then shall the vail be removed,
And round me thy brightness be poured!
I shall meet him, whom absent I loved,
I shall sec, whom unseen I adored.
3 And then, nevermore shall the fears,
The trials, temptations, and woes,
Which darken this valley of tears,
Intrude on my blissful repose:
To Jesus, the erown of my hope,
My soul is in haste to be gone;
Oh, bear me, ye cherubim, up,
And waft me away to his throne!

To cheer me on my way,
To guide my doubting footsteps,
To be my strength and stay.
I need thee, precious Jesus,
I need a friend like thee,
A friend to soothe and pity,
A friend to care for me:
I need the heart of Jesus
To feel each anxious care,
To tell my every trial,
And all my sorrows share.
I need thee, precious Jesus,
I need thee, day by day,
To fill me with thy fullness,
To lead me on my way;
I need thy Holy Spirit
To teach me what I am,
To show me more of Jesus,
And point me to the Lamb.

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

Waked from coming wrath to flee,
Hidden in the Saviour's side.

Teach me, Lord, on earth to show,
By my love, how much I owe.
Oft I walk beneath the cloud,
Dark as midnight's gloomy shroud:
But, when fear is at the height,
Jesus comes, and all is light;
Blessed Jesus! bid me show
Doubting saints how much I owe
:; Oft the nights of sorrow reign —
Weeping, Bickness, sighing, pain;
But a night thine auger burns —
Morning conies, and joy returns:
God of comforts! bid me show
To thy poor how much 1 ewe.

Oft by sin I 'm captive led;
Oft I fall, but still arise

No tho't can reach, no tongue declare
Oh, knit my thankful heart to thee,
And reign without a rival there :
Thine wholly, thine alone, I am;

My every act, word, thought, be love.

All pain before thy presence flies;
Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away,
Where'er thy healing beams arise:

Nothing desire, or seek but thee!

In death as life be thou my guide,
And save me, who for me hast died.

Our country is in every clime:
We can be calm and free from care
On any shore, since God is there.
3 While place we seek, or place we shun,
The soul finds happiness in none;
But with our God to guide our way,
'Tis equal joy to go or stay.

But regions none remote we call,
Secure of finding God in all.

Hostile to none, of none afraid.

Repel each passion rude and wild,
And bless us as we aim to bless.

The fainting soul oppress;

Whom Christ his brethren calls;

And many a tempest lowers,
Shall his own peace our spirits keep,

What cheering words are these;
Their sweetness who can tell?
In time and to eternal days,
"Tis with the righteous well!"
2 Well when they see his face,
Or sink amidst the flood;
AVell in affliction's thorny maze,
Or on the mount with God.
3 'Tis well when joys arise,
'Tis well when sorrows flow,
'Tis well when darkness vails the skies,
And strong temptations grow.
4 'Tis well when Jesus calls, —
"From earth and sin arise,
To join the hosts of ransomed souls,
Made to salvation wise!"

And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Saviour's blood ?
Died he for me, who caused his pain?
For me, who him to death pursued ?
Amazing love! how can it be,
That thou, my Lord, shouldst die for mc ?
2 'Tis myst'ry all, — the Immortal dies!
Who can explore his strange design?
In vain the first-born seraph tries
To sound the depths of love divine;
'Tis mercy all! let earth adore:
Let angel minds inquire no more.

(So free, so infinite his grace!)
Emptied himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam's helpless race;
'Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For, O my God, it found out me!
4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
Fast bound in sin and nature's night:
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray;
I woke; the dungeon (lamed with light:
My chains fell off, my heart was free, —
I rose, went forth, and followed thee.

No condemnation now I dread, —

Alive in him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine.

The object of paternal love,
Consent a servant's form to bear
That I a kingly crown might wear?
Is his deep loss my boundless gain,
And comes my victory from his pain?

Instruct repentance how to weep;
He poured for me the vital flood;

Where'er the stream has found its way;
But, where these spring not rich and fair,
The stream has never wandered there.

Thy pattern, and thy steps pursue;
Let alms bestowed, let kindness done,
Be witnessed by each rolling sun.
3 That man may last, but never lives,
WIki much receives, but nothing gives;
Whom none can love, whom none can
thank,
Creation's blot, creation's blank!

In generous acts his radiant way,
Treads the same path his Saviour trod,
The path to glory and to God.

Thy way, not mine, O Lord,
However dark it be!
Lead me by thine own hand; '
Choose out the path for me.
I dare not choose my lot:
I would not, if I might;
Choose thou for me, my God,
So shall I walk aright.
2 The kingdom that I seek
Is thine: so let the way
That leads to it be thine,
Klse I must surely stray.
Take thou my cup, and it
With joy or sorrow fill,
As best to thee may seem;
Choose thou my li<h <1 and ill.
3 Choose thou for me my friends
My sickness or my health;
Choose thou my cares for me,
My poverty or wealth.
Not mine, not mine the choice,
In things or greal or small;
Be thou my Guide, my Strength,
My Wisdom, and mv All.

My God, my Father, while I stray
Far from my home, on life's rough way,
Oh, teach me from my heart to say,
"Thy will be done, thy will be done!"
2 What though in lonely grief I sigh
For friends beloved no longer nigh;
Submissive still would I reply,
"Thy will be done, thy will^be done!"
3 If thou shouldst call me to resign
What most I prize, — it ne'er was mine;
I only yield thee what was thine:
"Thy will be done, thy will be done!"
t I f but my fainting heart be blest
With thy sweet Spirit for its guest,
My God, to thee I leave the rest;
"thy will be done, thy will be done!"
5 Renew my will from day to day;
Blend it with thine, and take away
Whate'er now makes it hard to say,
"Thy will be done, thy will be done!"
Then when on earth I breathe no more,
The prayer oft mixed with tears before,
I'll sing upon a happier shore:
"Thy Avill be done, thy will be done!"

Behold thy face, and doubts remove;
Who would not yield his wavering will
To perfect truth and boundless love!

Beneath whose light I am to see,
When all these blinding vails are drawn,
This was the wisest path for me.

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

When fear her chilling mantle flings
O'er earth, my soul to heaven above,
As to her native home, upsprings,
For God is love, for God is love.
When mystery clouds my darkened path,
I'll check my dread, my doubts reprove;
In this my soul sweet comfort hath,
That God is love, that God is love.
Ves, God is love; — a thought like this,
Can every gloomy thought remove,
And turn all tears, all woes, to bliss,
For God is love, for God is love.

By Sinai's curse, whose dreadful doom
Was buried in thy guiltless tomb;
By these my pangs, whose healing smart,
Thy grace hath planted in my heart —
I know, I feel thy bounteous will,
Thou lov'st me, Lord! thou lov'st me still!

How sweet to think of peace at last,
And feel that death is gain!

The path that leads to light,
And longs her eagle plumes to raise,
And lose herself in Bight.

From earth-born woe and care,
And soar above these clouds of night,

How soon we found a smiling God,
Where deep distress had been!

And found his word was true.
We told him all our grief,

Lead thoa me on; [gloom, Pride ruled my will. Remember not past
The night is dark, and I am far from home, years.
Lead thou me ou; ;; g0 longthy power has blessed me, Bure it
Keep thon my feet; I do not ask to sec Will lead me on f still
The distant scene; one step enough forme
2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou
Shouldst lead me on;
1 loved to choose and see my path; but now
Lead thou me on:
O'er moor and fen, o'ercrag and torrent, till
The night is gone;
And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since, and lost
awhile!
GOD IS NEAR.

you "Ebenrezer."—\ Sam. 7 : 12.
Be still, my heart! these anxious cares
To thee are burdens, thorns, and snares:
They cast dishonor on thy Lord,
And contradict his gracious word;
Brought safely by his hand thus far,
Why wilt thou now give place to fear?
2 "When first before his mercy-seat
Thou didst to him thy all commit,
364
He gave thee warrant from that hour
To trust his wisdom, love, and power:
Did ever trouble yet befall,
And he refuse to hear thy call?
He who has helped thee hitherto.
Will help thee all thy journey through;
Though rough and thorny be the road,
It leads thee home, apace, to God;
Then count thy present trials small,
For heaven will make amends for all.

When adverse winds and waves arise,
And in my heart despondence sighs;
When life her throng of cares reveals,
And weakness o'er my spirit steals,
Grateful I hear the kind decree,
That "as my day, my strength shall be."
2 One trial more must yet be past,
One pang — the keenest and the last;
And when, with brow convulsed and pale,
My feeble, quivering heart-strings fail,
Redeemer! granl my soul to see
That "as her day. her strength shall be."

At evening time let there be light.

Oh, for one Bweet, one parting ray!

"jTesus wept."— John 11 : 35.

And days are dark, and friends are i\;\v,
On him I lean, who, not in vain,
Experienced every human pain;
He sees my wants, allays my fears.
And counts and treasures up my tears.
If aught should tempt my soul to stray
From heavenly virtue's narrow way. —
To fly the good I would pursue,
Or do the sin I would not do, —
Still he, who felt temptation's power,
Shall guard me in that dangerous hour.
When sorrowing o'er some stone, I bend,
Which covers all that was a friend,
And from his voice, his hand, his smile,
Divides me, for a little while,
My Saviour sees the tears 1 shed,
For Jesus wept o'er Lazarus dead.
And oh, when I have safely passed
Through every conflict, but the last, —
Still, still unchanging, watch beside
My painful bed, — for thou hast died;
Then point to realms of cloudless day,
And wipe my latest tear away.

Yet saints their watch are keeping,

Where in sweet vales the bride,
With thee by living fountains,
For ever shall abide.

Of peace for evermore;

How beauteous are their feet
"Who stand on Zion's hill!
Who bring salvation on their tongues,
And words of peace reveal.

How sweet their tiding- are!
"Zion, behold thy Saviour King;
He reigns and triumphs here."
3 How happy ate our ear-.
That hear this joyful sound!
Which kiiiir- and prophets waited fur,
And sought, but never found.
4 How blessed are our eyes,
That see this heavenly light!
Prophets and kings desired it long,
But died without the sight.
5 The watchmen join their voice,
And tuneful QOteS employ;
Jerusalem breaks forth in son--.
And deserts learn the joy.

Through all the earth abroad;
Let every nation now- behold

1 OOO More laborers. — Watt. 9: 38.
Lord of the harvest! hear
Thy needy servants cry;
Answer our faith's effectual prayer,
And all our wants supply.
On thee we humbly wait;
Our wants are in thy view;
The harvest truly. Lord! is great,
The laborers are few.
2 Convert and send forth more
Into thy Church abroad;
And let them speak thy word of power,
As workers with their God.
Give the pure Gospel-word,
The word of general grace;
Thee let them preach, the common Lord,
The Saviour of our race.
3 Oh, let them spread thy name;
Their mission fully prove;
Thy universal grace proclaim,
Thy all-redeeming love.
On all mankind, forgiven,
Empower them still to call,
And tell each creature under heaven.
That thou hast died for all.

How blest the sacred tie that binds,
In union sweet, according minds!
How swift the heavenly course they run,
Whose hearts and faith and hopes are one!
2 To each the soul of each how dear!
What jealous care, what holy fear!
How doth the generous flame within,
Refine from earth and cleanse from sin!
3 Their streaming tears together flow,
For human guilt and human woe;
Their ardent prayers united rise,
Like mingling flames in sacrifice.
4 Nor shall the glowing flame expire
'Mid nature's drooping, sickening fire:
Soon shall they meet in realms above,
And heaven of joy, because of love.

To know the Saviour's precious name;
And shortly we shall meet in heaven,

Make our communications sweet.
And cause our hearts to burn with love.

When Christians see each other thus;

The path he marked for us to tread;
And what he's doing for us now.
6 Thus, as the moments pass away,
We'll love, and wonder, and adore;
And hasten on the glorious day,
When we shall meet to part no more.

Come in, thou blessed of the Lord,
Enter in Jesus' precious name;
We welcome thee with one accord,
And trust the Saviour does the same.
2 Those joys which earth cannot afford,
We'll seek in fellowship to prove;
Joined in one spirit to our Lord,
Together bound by mutual love.
3 And, while we pass this vale of tears,
We '11 make our joys andsorrowsknown ;
We'll share each others' hopes and fears,
And count a brother's cares our own.
4 Once more, our welcome we repeat;
Receive assurance of our love;
Oh, may we all together meet,
Around the throne of God above.

How sweet, how heavenly is the sight,
When those who love the Lord
In one another's peace delight,
And bo fulfill his word!
2 When each can feel his brother's sigh,
And with him bear a part !
When Borrow flows from eye to eye,
And joy from heart to heart!
3 When, free from envy, scorn and pride,
Our wishes all above,
Each can his brother's failings hide,
And show a brother's love!
4 Let love, in one delightful stream,
Through every bosom flow,
And union sweet, and dear esteem,
In every action glow,

The happy souls above;
And he's an heir of heaven who finds
His bosom glow with love.

And .-a veil by grace alone;
Walking in all his ways, they find
Their heaven on earth begun.

Their mighty joys we know:
They sing the Lamb in hymns above,
And we in hymns below
3 Thee in thy glorious realm they praise,
And bow before thy throne;
We in the kingdom of thy grace:
The kingdoms are but one.
The holy to the holiest leads,
And thence our spirits rise;
For he that in thy statutes treads,
Shall meet thee in the skies.

Let gifts of love descend.

His own eternal Son,
Fill all thy saints, till all shall be
In pure affection one.
As thou for us didst stoop so low,
Warmed by love's holy flame.
So let our deeds of kindness flow
To all that bear thy name.
One bleSS^d fellowship of love.
Thy living church should stand,
Till, faultless, she at last above
Shall shine at thy right hand.
Oh, glorious day, when she, the Bride,
With her dear Lord appears!
Then robed in beauty at his Bide,
She shall forget her tears!

With pressure light and mild,
To check me, as my mother doth,
While I am but a child;
Bat 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 prayer,
Something there is within my heart
Which tells me thou art there;
Yes! when I pray, thou prayest too —
Thy prayer is all for me;
But when I sleep, thou sleepest not,
But watchest patiently.

1UJ° The Covenant.— Gen. 17:7.
How large the promise! how divine
To Alir'hain and his seed:
"I'll be a God to thee and thine,
Supplying all their need."
2 The words of his extensive love
From age to age endure:
The Angel of the covenant proves,
And seals the blessings sure.
3 Jesus the ancient faith confirms,
To our great fathers given ;
He takes young children to his arms,
And calls them heirs of heaven.
4 Our God! — how faithful are his ways!
His love endures the same;
Nor from the promise of his grace
Blots out the children's name.

With all-cn<rainnrr charms!
Hark! how he calls the tender lambs,
And folds them in his arms!

"Nor scorn their bumble name;
For 't was to bless such souls as these,
The Lord of angels came."

And yield them up to thee;
Joyful that we ourselves are thine, —

How sweet and awful is the place,
AVith Christ within the doors,
While everlasting love displays
The choicest of her stores.
2 While all our hearts, and all our songs,
Join to admire the feast,
Each of us cries, with thankful tongue, —
"Lord, why was I a guest?"
3 ''Why was I made to hear thy voice,
And enter while there's room,
When thousands make a wretched choice,
And rather starve than come ? "
4 T was the same love that spread the feast.
That sweetly drew us in ;
Else we had still refused to taste,
And perished in our sin.
5 Pity the nations, 0 our God!
Constrain the earth to come;
Send thy victorious word abroad,
And bring the strangers home.

Not worthy, Lord! to gather up the crumbs
With trembling hand that from thv
table fall,
394
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 thv 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 devilsand the scorn ofmen.
4 And is not mercy thy prerogative —
Freemercy, boundless, fat hornless, 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, I clasp thy pierced feet;
Thou bid'st me take my place, a welcome
guest,
Among thy'saints,and of thy banquet eat.
6 My praise can only breathe itself in prayer,
My prayer can only lose itself in thee;
Dwell thoufor ever in my heart, and there,

Stronger than agony, and we be still!

2 Every human tie may perish;
Friend to friend unfaithful prove;
Mothers cease their own to cherish;
Heaven and earth at last remove:
But no changes
Can attend Jehovah's love.

Thence to bring thee forth more bright,
But can never cease to love thee;
Thou art precious in his sight;
God is with thee —

Joy to the lands that in darkness have
lain!
Hushed be the accents of sorrow and

Zion in triumph begins her mild reign.

Hail to the millions from bondage return-

3 Lo! in the desert rich flowers are springing,
Streams ever copious are gliding along;
Loud from the mountain-tops echoes are

Praise to Jehovah ascending on high ;

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

Though sorrows and darkness encom-

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

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, the dying strife
Fright our approaching souls away;
We still shrink back again to life,
Fond of our prison and our clay.
3 Oh, if my Lord would come and meet,
My soul should stretch herwingsin haste,
Fly fearless through death's iron gate,
Nor feel the terrors as she passed.

Feel soft as downy pillows are,
While on his breast I lean my head,
And breathe my life out sweetly there!

When sinks a weary soul to rest!
How mildly beam the closing eyes!
How gently heaves the expiring breast !
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.
A holy quiet reigns around, —
A calm which life nor death destroys;
Nothing disturbs that peace profound,
Which his unfettered soul enjoys.
Farewell, conflicting hopes and fears!
Where lights and shades alternate dwell;
How bright the unchanging morn appears !
Farewell, inconstant world! farewell!

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

One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er, —
Nearer my home, to-day, am I
Then e'er I 've been before.
Nearer my Father's house,
"Where many mansions be;
Nearer to-day the great white throne;
Nearer the crystal sea.
Nearer the bound of life,
Where burdens are laid down;
Nearer to leave the heavy cross;
Nearer to gain the crown.
But, lying dark between,
Winding down through the night,
There rolls the deep and unknown stream
That leads at last to light.
Ev'n now, perchance, my feet
Are slipping on the brink,
And I, to-day, am nearer home, —
Nearer than now I think.
Father, perfect my trust!
Strengthen my power of faith I
Nor let me stand, at last, alone

Behold the western evening light!
It melts in deepening gloom:
So calmly Christians sink away,
Descending to the tomb.
2 The winds breathe low, the withering leaf
Scarce whispers from the tree:
So gently flows the parting breath,
When good men cease to be.

The crimson light is shed!
'Tis like the peace the Christian gives
To mourners round his bed.
4 How mildly on the wandering cloud
The sunset beam is cast!
'Tis like the memory left behind
When loved ones breathe their last.
5 And now above the dews of night
The rising star appears:
So faith springs in the heart of those
Whose eyes are bathed in tears.

Its glory shall restore,
And eyelids that are sealed in death
Shall wake to close no more.

And lurks in every flower;
Each season hath its own disease,

Of youth's soft cheek decay;
And fate descend in sudden night
On manhood's middle day.

Halt feebly to the tomb;
And yet shall earth our hearts engage,
And dreams of days to come?
5 Then, mortal, turn! thy danger know;
Where'er thy foot can tread,
The earth rings hollow from below,
And warns thee of her dead!

To truths divinely given:
The dead, who underneath thee lie,
Shall live for hell or heaven!

Tender Shepherd, thou hast stilled
Now thy little lamb's brief 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
Thou dost now with 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 prove,
Though thou take what most we love.

Nor grief, nor care, nor toil.
3 No dimly cloud o'ershadows thee,
Nor gloom, nor darksome night;
But every soul shines as the sun,
For God himself gives light.

Thy bulwarks diamond-square,
Thy gates are all of orient pearl —

Beneath the chastening rod,

That, when in danger, knows no fear,
In darkness, feels no doubt; —

When shall my labors have an end,
In joy, and peace, in thee?
2 Oh, when, thou city of my God,
Shall I thy courts ascend,
Where congregations ne'er break up,
And Sabbaths have no end?

Nor sin nor sorrow know:
Blest seats! thru' rude and stormy scenes,

Or feel, at death, dismay?
I've Canaan's goodly land in view,
And realms of endless day.

Around my Saviour stand ;
And soon my friends in Christ below,
Will join the glorious band.

My soul still pants for thee;
Then shall my labors have an end.

My days are gliding swiftly by,
And I, a pilgrim stranger,
Would not detain them as they fly
Those hours of toil and danger.
For oh, Ave stand on Jordan's strand,
Our friends are passing over;
And just before, the Shining Shore
We may almost discover!
2 We'll gird our loins, my brethren dear,
Our heavenly home discerning;
Our absent Lord has left us word,
Let every lamp be burning. — Ref.
3 Should coming days be cold and dark,
We need not cease our singing;
That perfect rest naught can molest,
Where golden harps are ringing. — Ref.

Each chord on earth to sever;

For ever, oh, for ever!
For oh, we stand on Jordan's strand.

And just before, the Shining Shore

While thro' this changing world we roam
From infancy to age,
Heaven is the Christian pilgrim's home,
His rest at every stage.
2 From earth his freed affections rise,
To fix on things above,
Where all his hope of glory lies,
Where all is perfect love.
3 There, too, may we our treasure place —
There let our hearts be found;
That still, where sin abounded, grace
May more and more abound.
4 Henceforth, our conversation be
With Christ before the throne;
Ere long we, eye to eye, shall see,
And know as we are known.

^4U The New Song.
Earth has engrossed my love too long;
'Tis time I lift mine eyes
Upward, dear Father! to thy throne,
And to my native skies.
2 There the blest man, my Saviour, sits;
The God! how bright he shines!
And scatters infinite delights
On all the happy minds.
3 Seraphs, with elevated strains,
Circle the throne around;
And move, and charm the starry plains,
With an immortal sound.

4 Jesus, the Lord, their harps employs;
Jesus, my love, they sing;
Jesus, the life of both our joys,
Sounds sweet from every string.
5 Now let me mount, and join their song,
And be an angel too;
My heart! my hand! my ear! my tongue I
Here's joyful work for you.
6 I would begin the music here,
And so my soul should rise; —
Oh, for some heavenly notes to bear
My spirit to the skies.

In vain our fancy strives to paint
The moment after death,
The glories that surround a saint
When yielding up his breath.
2 One gentle sigh the bondage breaks;
We scarce can say — he's gone!
Before the willing spirit takes
Its mansion near the throne.
3 Thus much, and 't is enough to know,
Saints are completely blest;
Have done with sin, and care, and woe,
And with their Saviour rest.
4 On harps of gold they praise his name,
And see him face to face;
Oh, let us catch the heavenly flame,
And live in his embrace 1

And fear to launch away.

There is a blessed home
Beyond this land of woe,
Where trials never come,
Nor tears of sorrow flow;
Where faith is lost in sight,
And patient hope is crowned,
And everlasting light
Its glory throws around.
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, evermore.
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.
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.
1255 Rev. 21: 23-27.
There is no night in heaven;
In that blest world above
Work brings no weariness,
For work itself is love.
There is no grief in heaven ;
For life is one glad day,
And tears are of those things
Which all have passed away.
2 There is no want in heaven;
The Tree of Life supplies
Its twelve-fold fruitage still,
Life's spring which never dries.
There is no sin in heaven;
Behold that blessed throng!
All holy is their robe,
All holy is their song.
3 There is no death in heaven ;
For they who gain that shore
Win immortality,
And they can die no more.
There is no death in heaven;
But when the Christian dies,
The angels wait his soul,
And waft it to the skies 1

Clothed in white apparel, holding

Washed them in the blood of Jesus;
Tried they wer,e and firm they stood
Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented,
Sawn asunder, slain with sword,
They have conquered death and Satan
By the might of Christ the Lord.

At midnight comes the cry.

Wait calmly your deliverance
From earthly pain and toil.

Proclaim the Bridegroom near,
Go, meet him, as he cometh,
With hallelujahs clear.
The saints, who here in patience
Their cross and sufferings bore,
With him shall reign for ever,
When sorrow is no more:
Around the throne of glory
The Lamb shall they behold,
Adoring casl before him
Their diadems of gold.
Our hope and expectation,
O Jesus, now appear!
Arise, thou Sun so looked-for,
O'er this benighted sphere!
With hearts and hands uplifted,
We plead, O Lord, to see
The day of our redemption,
And ever be with thee.

A silent sentry stands;
He only can undo it,
And open wide the door;
And mortals who pass through it,
Are mortal nevermore.

From cross to glory's crown.

They're blessed in their tears;

The sands of time are sinking,
The dawn of heaven breaks,
The summer morn I've sighed for,
The fair sweet morn awakes:
Dark, dark hath been the midnight,
But day-spring is at hand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
2 Oh, Christ, he is the fountain,
The deep sweet well of love;
The streams of earth I've tasted,
More deep I'll drink above.
There to an ocean fullness
His mercy doth expand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Immanuel's land.
3 With mercy and with judgment,
My web of time he wove,
And aye the dews of sorrow
Were lustered with his love.
I'll bless the hand that guided,
I'll bless the heart that planned,
When throned where glory dwelleth,
In Immanuel's land.

'Gainst storm, and wind, and tide,

While, with ceaseless course, the sun
Hasted through the former year,
Many souls their race have run,
Nevermore to meet us here:
Fixed in an eternal state,
They have done with all below;
We a little longer wait;
But how little none can know.
2 As the winged arrow flies
Speedily the mark to find;
As the lightning from the skies
Darts, and leaves no trace behind, —
Swiftly thus our fleeting days
Bear us down life's rapid stream ;
Upward, Lord, our spirits raise,
All below is but a dream.
3 Thanks for mercies past receive;
Pardon of our sins renew ;
Teach us henceforth how to live,
With eternity in view:
Bless thy word to old and young;
Fill us with a Saviour's love;
When our life's short race is run,
May we dwell with thee above.

Crowned with mercies large and free,
Rich thy gifts to us abound,
Warm our praise shall rise to thee.
2 Kindly to our worship bow,
While our grateful thanks we tell,
That, sustained by thee, we now
Bid the parting year — farewell!
3 All its numbered days are sped,
All its busy scenes are o'er,
All its joys for ever fled,
All its sorrows felt no more.
4 Mingled with the eternal past,
Its remembrance shall decay;
Yet to be revived at last
At the solemn judgment-day.
5 All our follies, Lord, forgive!
Cleanse us from each guilty stain;
Let thy grace within us live,
That we spend not years in vain.
G Then, when life's last eve shall come,
Happy spirits, may we fly
To our everlasting home,
To our Father's house on high!

Dread Jehovah! God of nations!
From thy temple in the skies,
Hear thy people's supplications,
Now for their deliverance rise; —
Lo! with deep contrition turning,
In thy holy place Ave bend;
Hear us, fasting, praying, mourning;
Hear us, spare us, and defend.
2 Though our sins, our hearts confounding,
Long and loud for vengeance call,
Thou hast mercy more abounding,
Jesus' blood can cleanse them all;
Let that mercy vail transgression,
Let that blood our guilt efface;
Save thy people from oppression,
Save from spoil thy holy place.

My country] 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died!
Land of the Pilgrims' pride!
From every mountain side
Let freedom ring!
2 My native country, thee —
Land of the noble free —
Thy name — I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills:
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song:
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break, —
The sound prolong.
Our fathers' God! to thee,
Author of liberty,
To thee we sing:
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by thy might,
Great God, our King!

Ten thousand monuments of praise.
Thus far thine arm has led us on;
Thus far we make thy mercy known;

New mercies shall new songs demand.
Our grateful souls, on Jordan's shore,
Shall raise one sacred pillar more;
Then bear in thy bright courts above,

they be | four-score | years, || Yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is
soon cut off, | and we | fly a- | way.
11 Who knoweth the power | of thine | anger? || Even according to thy fear, | so — |
is thy | wrath.
So teach us to | number- -our | days, |[ That we may apply our | hearts — | unto |

13 PSALM 130.
1 Oct of the | depths || Have I cried unto thee, O | Lord. ||
2 Lord, hear my | voice: || Let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my suppli- |
cations. ||
3 If thou, Lord, shouldst mark in- | iquities, || 0 Lord, who shall | stand? ||
4 But there is forgiveness with | thee, || That thou mayst be | feared. ||
5 I wait for the Lord, my soul doth | wait, j| And in his word do I | hope. ||
6 My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the | morning: || I say,
more than they that watch for the | morning. ||
1 Let Israel hope in the | Lord: || For with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is
plenteous re- | demption. ||
8 And he shall redeem | Israel j| From all his in- | iquities. ||

1 Holy, holy, holy, | Lord- -God Al- | mighty! || which was, and | is, and | is to [
come.
2 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, and | honor- -and | power; || for thou
bast created all tilings, and for thy pleasure they | are and | were ere- | ated.
3 Worthy is the Lamb | that was | slain, || to receive power, and riches, and wisdom,
ami strength, and | honor,- 'and | glory,- "and | blessing.
4 Blessing, and honor, and | glory,- -and | power, || be unto him that sitteth upon the

Blessed are the dead, who die in the | Lord from | henceforth: || Yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may test from their labors; and their | works do | follow | them.
2 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second
death | hath no j power; || but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and
shall reign with | him a | thousand | years.
3 Unto him that loved as, and washed us from our sins in | his own | blood, [| and
hath made as kings and priests to God and his Father; to him be glory and do- j
minion - • for- | ever and | ever.
10 FUNEREAL.
1 Blessed are the dead, who die in the | Lord from | henceforth; l| Yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, | and their | works do | follow them.
2 Our days on earth are as a shadow, and there is | none a- | biding; || we are but of
yesterday; there is but a | step- -between | us and | death;
3 Man's day- are as grass: as a flower of the field | so be [ flourishcth; |J he appear-
eth for a little time, then | vanish-eth | a ) way.
Be ye also ready:
cometh.
Watch! for ye know not what hour your | Lord doth | come;
for in such an hour as ye think not, the | Son of | Man —
It i- tin' Lord; let him do what | seemeth' ■him | good; || The Lord gave, and tin
Lord hath taken away, and blessed be the | name — | of the | Lord.
Blessed are the dead, who die in the | Lord from | henceforth; || Yea, saith the Spir-

Thou, O Lord, art our Father, our Redeemer; from ever- | lasting | is thy | name.

2 By thine agonizing pain,
And bloody sweat, we pray —
By thy dying love to man,
Take all our sins away:
Burst our bonds, and set us free,
From all iniquity release;
Oh, remember Calvary,
And bid us go in peace!
SOLITUDE. 7. (See Hymn 131.)
Let thy blood, by faith applied,
The sinner's pardon seal ;
Own us freely justified,
And all our sickuess heal:
By thy passion on the tree,
Let all our griefs and troubles cease;
Oh, remember Calvary,
And bid us go in peace!

From deep distress and troubled thoughts.

From the cross uplifted high
From the recesses of a lowly spirit
From the table now retiring
Gently, Lord, oh, gently lead us
Gently, my Saviour, let me down

( !ive to our God immortal praise
Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame
Give to the winds thy fears
Give thanks to God— he reigns above. . . .
Give thanks to God, invoke his name. . . .
Glorious tilings of thee are spoken

Thine holy day's returning
Think gently of the erring one
This child we dedicate to thee
This is not my place of resting
This is the day the Lord hath made
Thou art gone to the grave ! but we will. .
Thou art gone up on high
Thou art my hiding-place, O Lord
Thou art my portion, O my God
Thou art the Way : to thee alone
Thou from whom we never part
Though famt, yet pursuing, we go our. . .
Though I speak with angel tongues
Though now the nations sit beneath
Though sorrows rise and dangers roll
Though troubles assail
Thou God of hope, to thee we bow
Thou God of love, thou ever blest
Thou God of sovereign grace
Thou lovely source of true delight
Thou only Sovereign of my heart
Thou, Saviour, from thy throne on high . .
Thou shalt arise, and mercy have
Thou very present Aid
Thou who art enthroned above
Thou who roll'st the year around
Thou ! whose almighty word
Through all the changing scenes of life . . .
Through every age, eternal God !
Through sorrow's night, and danger's path.
Thus far the Lord has led me on
Thy Father's house ! thine own bright . . .
Thy glory, Lord, the heavens declare
Thy home is with the humble, Lord
Thy listening ear, O Lord, incline
Thy mercy, Lord, is in the heavens
Thy name, Almighty Lord
Thy way, not mine, O Lord
Thy way, O Lord, is in the sea
' ' Thy will be done !" In devious way
Time is winging us away
Time, thou speedest on but slowly
'T is a point I long to know
'T is by the faith of joys to come
'T is by thy strength the mountains stand .
" 'T is finished !" — so the Saviour cried . . .
T is God the Spirit leads
Tis midnight ; and on Olive's brow
'T is my happiness below
T is not that I did choose thee
To-day the Saviour calls
Together with these symbols, Lord
To God the only wise
To heaven I lift my waiting eyes
To him that chose us first
To Jesus, our exalted Lord
To our Redeemer's glorious name
To spend one sacred day
Tossed upon life's raging billow
To thee I lift my spul
To thee, most high and holy God
To thee my God and Saviour
To thee, O God, we raise

Welcome, delightful morn
Welcome, sweet day of rest
We stand in deep repentance
We would see Jesus — for the shadows-
What are those soul-reviving strains
What cheering words are these
What equal honors shall we bring
What finite power, with ceaseless toil
What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone . . .
What is life ? 't is but a vapor
What shall I render to my God
What shall we render, bounteous Lord . . .
What sinners value I resign
What various hindrances we meet
When adverse winds and waves arise
When all thy mercies, O my God
When along life's thorny road
When downward to the darksome tomb. .
When gathering clouds around I view. . . .
When God arose, the nation
When God is nigh, my faith is strong. . . .
When God, of old, came down from
When human hopes all wither
When I can read my title clear
When Israel, freed from Pharaoh's hand. .
When I survey the wondrous cross
When I view my Saviour bleeding
When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay
When Jordan hushed his waters still
