PREFACE.
<§>— <$>

THE importance of sacred song, as a part of the worship of God, has


been recognized from the very beginning of the denomination in whose
behalf the present work is issued. Among their earliest publications was a
small collection of hymns, expressive of their faith, and breathing a spirit of
consecration and devotion to God and his work. This was revised and re-
published from time to time, till some four different editions had been issued,
accompanied by other smaller works.

But notwithstanding the good service done by these, it came to be gen-


more varied in its contents, and
erally felt that a larger work, of broader
scope —a work, in short, better suited to the present progress and develop-
ment of our cause — was demanded. Accordingly at the session of the
General Conference of October, 1884, a committee of five was appointed to
draw up a plan of action by which the new hymn book should be prepared.

The plan suggested by this committee was that a large committee of


twenty-five, located in different States, be appointed to gather material in
the form of hymns and tunes, for the book, taking care to secure those which
had been found to be useful, or had become favorites in any locality. The
work of this committee was to pass under the supervision of a central com-
mittee of seven, who should recommend definitely what selections should
be used.

This latter committee devoted considerable time to the work till the
Conference session of 1885, to which they reported accordingly. Their re-
port being approved, a committee of five was appointed to carry into effect
the plan proposed, and issue the book.

This committee was composed of Geo. I. Butler, Uriah Smith, J. H.

Waggoner, Henry, and Edwin Barnes, who took immediate steps


A. R.
to perform the duty assigned them. They employed F. E. Belden and
Edwin Barnes as musical editors of the work, the former devoting all his
PREFACE.
time while in the employ of the committee, and the latter a large portion
of his time, to the discharge of the duties to which they were appointed.
Their work has given eminent satisfaction to the committee, as we trust it

will to the Church at large.

The setting of the type, both of the music and the words, was allotted to
the "J. E. White Publishing Company;" the electrotyping, printing, and
binding, to the " S. D. Adventist Publishing Association." To the efficiency
of the work, in all departments, the appearance of these pages will bear
witness.

The plan book provides for one or more pieces of music for each
of the
page; and generally every hymn on the page can be sung to the tune which
there appears but as others may in some instances be preferred, two or three
;

appropriate tunes are referred to by numbers at the head of each hymn and ;

whenever a hymn is set to a new tune, the first reference is always to an old
and familiar tune. All references are to the number of the hymn, not to
the page. Whenever a hymn is given that cannot be sung to the tune given
on the same page, the tune in which it can be sung, together with its

number, is given at the head of the hymn. Due attention to these facts will
enable all to avoid mistakes. A few favorite tunes which have become
inseparably connected with a number of hymns, are for this reason repeated.

The theology of the present day is still largely tinged, in some particulars,
with pagan and papal errors. To it has been necessary to
eliminate these,
change the phraseology of some hymns. This has been done only so far as
it has been conscientiously felt to be a necessity. Some hymns found to
have been unnecessarily changed from their originals have been changed
back. Other changes which have been so long used that but few know
them in any other form, have been for this reason suffered to remain. The
hymns will be found generally of a high order of literary merit, and strictly
in harmony with the teachings of the Scriptures.

A special effort has been made to gather up and preserve some old melo-
dieswhich were favorites in the great Advent movement of 1840-44, but
which have for some reason fallen into disuse. The older members of the
household of faith, at least, will be pleased to meet with these again, in this
book.

That all will be pleased with everything in this collection, would be, of
course, too much to expect but that all will find enough in it to make it a

treasure to them, we confidently hope. It is printed on an all-linen paper,


and bound in a manner to make it substantial and durable. No pains nor
expense have been spared to make it first-class in every respect, a worthy —
representative of the cause to which it belongs.

For the use of those who do not care for the music, a book of words only,
containing all the hymns of the large book, and numbered in ex-
is issued,

actly the same manner, so that both books can be used simultaneously with-
out any confusion. But in order to promote congregational singing, and
uniformity in the rendering of the hymns, the committee recommend all to
procure the large book, and all to join in the singing. All the profits arising
from the sale of the book are to be appropriated to the missionary work.

Parties wishing to republish any of the pieces marked " copyrighted " or
"by permission," must obtain the privilege from those who own the copy-
rights.

We now commend this work to the charitable acceptance of that people


who are waiting for the coming and kingdom of Christ, humbly hoping
that it may prove a means of increasing their love to God and his worship,
and aid them in the preparation necessary to associate with the redeemed,
and join in singing the new song on Mount Zion.

2 Our humble gratitude we speak, 1 Father supreme, whose wondrous love
For all the blessings of the week, Our utmost thought so far exceeds,
As at thy throne of grace we bow We seek thy blessing from above,
And ask thee for a blessing now. A rich supply for all our needs.

3 bless us as we meet to-day, 2 On thee alone our hopes we rest,


While unto thee we sing and pray To theealone we lift our eyes
bless the word of truth we hear, Regard our prayer, though unexpressed,
And to each heart be very near. Accept our spirit's sacrifice.

4 'T is vain within these walls to kneel 3 'T isnot for present power or wealth,
Unless our need of thee we feel Or worldly fame, we look to thee
'T is vain to lift the voice in praise We ask thy gift of heavenly health,
Unless devotion tunes our lays. The gift of immortality.

5 Help us to worship thee aright 4 Fulfill in us thy faithful word,


Let self be banished from our sight, Through Him who died to make it sure
Unless thy Spirit prompts the view Our Mercy-seat, our Righteousness,
To search our motives through and through Who lives again to die no more.

2 I long to rest in thine abode, How sweet to leave the world awhile,
My panting heart cries out for God And seek the presence of our Lord
My God, my King, why should I be Dear Saviour, on thy people smile,
So far from all my joys and thee ? And come according to thy word.
3 Blest are the souls that find a place 2 From busy scenes we now retreat,
Within the temple of thy grace ; That we may here converse with thee
There they behold thy gentle rays, Dear Lord, behold us at thy feet 1

And seek thy face and learn thy praise. Let this the gate of heaven be.
4 Blest are the men whose hearts are set 3 Chief of ten thousand, now appear,
To find the way to Zion's gate That we by faith may see thy face
God is their strength and through the road ; speak, that we thy voice may hear
They lean upon their helper, God. And let thy presence fill this place.
Thomas Kelly.
5 Cheerful they walk, with growing strength,

Till all shall meet in heaven at length ;
Thy presence, gracious God, afford
Till all before thy face appear,
Prepare us to receive thy word
And join in nobler worship there. Now let thy voice engage our ear,
Isaac Watts.
And faith be mixed with what we hear.
4 47, 64, 68.
1 Lord, grant thy blessing here to-day 2 Distracting thoughts and cares remove,
give thy people joy and peace 1 And fix our hearts on things above
The tokens of thy love display, With food divine may we be fed,
And favor that shall never cease. And satisfied with living bread.
2 We seek the truth which Jesus brought 3 To each thy sacred word apply
His path of
light we long to tread With sovereign power and energy,
May here his holy word be taught, And may we in thy faith and fear
And here its purest influence shed. Reduce to practice what we hear.

3 May and hope and love abound,


faith 4 Father, in us thy Son reveal
Our sins and errors be forgiven ;
Teach us to know and do thy will
And we, from day to day, be found Thy saving power and love display,
Children of God and heirs of heaven. And guide us to the realms of day.

Great Shepherd of thy people, here 1 Come, thou Desire of all thy saints
Thy presence now display
Our humble strains attend,
We bow within thy house of prayer While with our praises and complaints,
give us hearts to pray !
Low at thy feet we bend.
The clouds which vail thee from our sight.
2 Dear Saviour, let thy glory shine,
In pity, Lord, remove And fill thy dwellings here,
Dispose our minds to hear aright Till life, and love, and joy divine,
The message of thy love. A heaven on earth appear.
The feeling heart, the melting eye, 3 Show us some token of thy love,
The humble mind, bestow Our fainting hopes to raise
And shine upon us from above, And pour thy blessing from above,
;

To make our graces grow. To aid our feeble praise.

2 What do we here without thy grace, 1 When, as returns this solemn day,
blessed Lamb of God ? Man comes to meet his God,
'T will be a dark and tiresome place What rites, what honors shall he pay ?
Unless we feel thy word. How spread his praise abroad ?

3 Come in with power to every soul, 2 From marble domes and gilded spires
thou immortal Dove ; Shall clouds of incense rise ?
Make every wounded spirit whole And gems, and gold, and garlands deck
With thy redeeming love. The costly sacrifice ?

4 We long to meet our God to-day, 3 Vain, sinful man ! creation's Lord
And taste his grace divine Thy offerings well may spare
That every soul with joy may say, But give thy heart, and thou shalt find
"My Lord, my God, I'm thine." Thy God will hear thy prayer.

2 Thy name salvation is, 1 Come, ye that fear the Lord,


Which here we come to prove And love him while ye fear,
Thy name is life, and health, and peace, Come, and with heart and hand record
And everlasting love. Your vow and covenant here.
3 Not in the name of pride 2 Here to his altar brought,
Or selfishness we meet Your holy vows renew,
From nature's paths we turn aside,
To be in heart, and deed, and thought.
And worldly thoughts forget. Faithful to him, and true.
4 We meet the grace to take 3 And true and faithful he
Which thou hast freely given ;
To you will ever prove,
We meet on earth for thy dear sake,
Though hills were swept into the seaf
That we may meet in heaven.

O thou almighty King! Where my Redeemer, God,
Here we present the solemn vow, Unvails the beauty of his face,
And hymns of praise we sing. And sheds his love abroad
3 While in thy house we kneel 2 Not earth's fair palaces,
With trust and holy fear, To which the great resort,
Thy mercy and thy truth reveal, Are once to be compared with this,
And lend a gracious ear. Where Jesus holds his court.
4 Lord, teach our hearts to pray, 3 Give me, Lord, a place
Andtune our lips to sing Within thy blest abode,
Nor from thy presence cast away Among the children of thy grace,
The sacrifice we bring. The servants of my God.

In compassion now descend, Deign our humble songs to hear
Fill our hearts with thy^rich grace, Purer praise we hope to bring
Tune our lips to sing thy praise. When around thy throne we sing.
3 Send some message from thy word 2 While on earth ordained to stay,
That may joy and peace afford Guide our footsteps in thy way,
Let thy Spirit now impart Till we come to dwell with thee,
Full salvation to each heart, Till we all thy glory see.

4 Comfort those who weep and mourn, 3 Then, with angel-harps again,
Let the time of joy return We will wake a nobler strain
Those that are cast down lift up, There, in joyful songs of praise,
Make them strong in faith and hope. Our triumphant voices raise.

Much of heaven and much of thee. Hear, for Jesus intercedes.

2 From thy gracious presence flows 3 While we hear thy word with awe,
Bliss that softens all our woes, While we tremble at thy law,
While thy Spirit's holy fire Let thy gospel's wondrous love
Warms our hearts with pure desire. Every doubt and fear remove.
3 Here we supplicate thy throne 4 From thy house when we return,
Here thy pardoning grace is known Let our hearts within us burn,
Here we learn thy righteous ways, That at evening we may say,
Taste thy love, and sing thy praise. " We have walked with God to-day."

1 Great God, attend while Zion sings


Eternal truth attends thy word
The joy that from thy presence springs
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
To spend one day with thee on earth
Till suns shall rise and set no more.
Exceeds a thousand days of mirth.
3 Your lofty themes, ye mortals, bring,
2 Might I enjoy the humblest place
In songs of praise divinely sing
Within thy house, God of grace

Not tents of ease, nor thrones of power,
And shout for joy his glorious name.
Should tempt my feet to leave thy door.
4 In every land begin the song,
3 God is our sun, he makes our day
To every land the strains belong
God is our shield, he guards our way
In cheerful sounds all voices raise,
From all assaults of hell and sin,
And fill the world with loudest praise.

Whom kings adored in songs sublime, No needed good from upright souls.

The grateful song, the fervent prayer I rest my hope on thee alone
The incense of the heart may rise — I '11 spread thy sacred truths abroad,

To heaven, and find acceptance there.
4 To thee shall age, with snowy hair, 3 With those who in thy grace abound,
And strength, and beauty, bend the knee, To thee I my thankful voice,

Till every land, the earth around,
And childhood lisp with reverent air
Its nraises and its prayers to thee. Shall near, and in thy name rejoice.

2 How terrible thy glories be 5 Now I am thine, forever thine,


Nor shall my purpose move
How bright thine armies shine !

Thy hand hath loosed my bonds of pain,


Where is the power that vies with thee,
Or truth compared with thine ?
And bound me with thy love.

3 Sing, all ye ransomed of the Lord,


6 Here in thy courts I leave my vow,

Your great Deliverer sing


And thy rich grace record
Witness, ye saints, who hear me now,
Ye pilgrims now for Zion bound,
If I forsake the Lord
Be joyful in your King. Isaac Watts.

4 Jesus, Lord of earth and heaven, 29 227, 646, 895.


Our life and joy, to thee Holy and reverend is the name
Be honor, thanks, and blessing given Of our eternal King
Through all eternity. Thrice holy Lord the angels cry !

Thrice holy let us sing. !

The deepest reverence of the mind,
1 What shall I render to my God Pay, my soul to God !

For all his kindness shown ? Lift with thy hands a holy heart
My feet shall visit thine abode, To his sublime abode.
My songs address thy throne.
With sacred awe pronounce his name
2 Among the saints who fill thy house Whom words nor thoughts can reach
My offering shall be paid ; -
A broken heart shall please him more
There shall my perform the vows
zeal
Than the best forms of speech.
My soul in anguish made.
Thou holy God, preserve our souls
3 How much is mercy thy delight,
From all pollution free ;
Thou ever-blessed God The pure in heart are thy delight,
How dear thy servants in thy sight And they thy face shall see.
How precious is their blood !

Tillthen thy service shall be ours,


4 How happy all thy servants are !
Thy praise our constant theme
How great thy grace to me !
We'll worship thee with all our powers.
My life, which thou hast made thy care,
Whose mercy doth redeem.
Lord, I devote to thee. John Nieedkam.

As mountains their foundations keep Justice and truth before thee stand
Wise as the wonders of thy hands, Yet, nearer to thy sacred throne
Thy judgments are a mighty deep. Mercy withholds thy lifted hand.

Whence all our hope and comfort spring Each rising morn thy plenteous grace
The sons of Adam, in distress, Thy wakened wrath doth slowly move,
Fly to the shadow of thy wing. Thy willing mercy flies apace.

We still shall find a sweet repast Father, this light, this breath, we owe
There mercy like a river flows, And all we have, and all we are,

And brings salvation to our taste. From thee, great Source of being, flow.

Praise ye the Lord


5, 19, 68.
!
— 't is good to raise
His works, through all this wondrous frame,
Our hearts and voices in his praise
Declare the glory of his name.
His nature and his works invite
4 Raised on devotion's lofty wing, To make this duty our delight.
Do thou, my soul, his glories sing
2 The Lord builds up Jerusalem,
And let his praise employ thy tongue And gathers nations to his name
Till listening worlds shall join the song.
Ttwmas Blacklock.
His mercy melts the stubborn soul,
And makes the broken spirit whole.
V2i 212, 336, 64.
1 The Lord King
lift up thy voice,
is !
3 He formed the stars, — those heavenly
earth, and
ye heavens, rejoice
all flames,
From world to world the joy shall ring, He counts their numbers, calls their names
The Lord omnipotent is King His wisdom's vast, and knows no bound,

2 The Lord is King child of the dust,


!
A deep, where all our thoughts are drowned
The Judge of all the earth is just, 4 "Great is our Lord, and great his might,
Holy and true are all his ways And all his glories infinite
Let every creature speak his praise. He crowns the meek, rewards the just,
And treads the wicked to the dust.
3 He reigns ! ye saints, exalt your strains,
Your God isKing, your Father reigns 5 But saints are lovely in his sight
And he is at the Father's side, He views his children with delight
The man of love, the Crucified. He sees their hope, he knows their fear,
And looks, and loves his image there.
4 Come, make your wants, your burdens
known, 6 Proclaim him King, pronounce him blest j
He will present them at the throne He's your defense, your joy, your rest
And angel bands are waiting there, When and nations faint,
terrors rise
His messages of love to bear. God is the strength of every saint,

2 I do not ask that I may see Thou rulest all things at thy will
What in the future waits for me Thy sovereign wisdom I adore,
Let righteousness attend my days, And calmly, sweetly, trust thee still.
And thine shall be the humble praise. Ray Palmer.

Resounds the goodness of the Lord.

In vain would wing her flight sublime,
To find creation's outmost bound. 67 768, 23, 51.

2 But weaker yet that thought must prove 1 WiTn deepest reverence at thy throne,
To search thy great eternal plan, Jehovah, peerless and unknown !

Long ages ere the world began. A glimpse of thee, great God 1 to gain.

3 When my dim reason would demand 2 Who, by the closest search, can find
Why that, cr this, thou dost ordain, The eternal, uncreated mind ?
By some vast deep I seem to stand, Nor men nor angels can explore
Whose secrets I must ask in vain.
Thy hights cf love, thy depths of power.

4 When doubts disturb my troubled breast, 3 That power we trace on every side
And all is dark as night to me, may thy wisdom be our guide
Here, as on solid rock, I rest And while wo live, and whet* weydie,
That so it seemeth good to thee May thy almighty love be nigh.

2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, Wide as the wheels of nature roll,
The moon takes up the wondrous tale Thy hand supports and guides the whole
And nightly, to the listening earth The sun is taught by thee to rise,
Repeats the story of her birth And darkness when to vail the skies
While all the stars that round her burn,
And all the planets in their turn, The flowery spring, at thy command
Confirm the tidings as they roll, Perfumes the adorns the land
air,
And spread the truth from pole to pole. The summer rays with vigor shine,
To raise the corn, to cheer the vine
3 What though in solemn silence, all
Thy hand, in autumn, richly pours
Move round the dark terrestrial ball ?
Through all our coasts redundant stores
What though no real voice nor sound And winters, softened by thy care,
Amid their radiant orbs be found ? No more the face of horror wear.
In reason's ear they all rejoice,
And utter forth a glorious voice,
Seasons and months, and weeks and days,
Forever singing as they shine,
" The hand that made us is divine."
Demand successive songs of praise
Joseph Addison.
And be the grateful homage paid,
With morning light and evening shade.
69 618, 667, 004,
Here in thy house let incense rise,
1 Eternal Source of every joy, And circling Sabbaths bless our eyes,
Well may thy praise our lips employ heights we soar,

While in thy temple we appear, Where days and years revolve no more.
To hail thee Sovereign of the year 1 Philip Doddridge.

4 Thy power is in the ocean deeps,
Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill,
And
reaches to the skies
Thine eye of mercy never sleeps,
He treasures up his bright designs,
And works his sovereign will. Thy goodness never dies.

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take 5 From morn till noon till latest — eve,

The clouds ye so much dread, Thy hand, God, we see


Are big with mercy, and shall break And all the blessings we receive
In blessings o'er your head. Proceed alone from thee.
John Thomson,
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
/O 720, 70, 895.
But trust him for his grace 1 Begin, my tongue, some heavenly theme,
Behind a frowning providence And speak some wondrous thing
He hides a smiling face. The mighty works or mightier name
Blind unbelief is sure to err, Of our eternal King.
And scan his work in vain
2 Tell of his wondrous faithfulness,
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.
And sound his praise abroad
William Ccnvper. Sing the sweet promise of his grace,
And the performing God.
75 70, 677, 120.

Jehovah, God, thy gracious power 3 His every word of grace is strong
On every hand we see ;
As that which built the skies
may the blessings of each hour The voice that rolls the stars along
Lead all our thoughts to thee Speaks all these promises.

If on the wings of morn we speed 4 Let every tongue his goodness speak,
To earth's remotest bound. The sovereign Lord of all
Thy hand will there our footsteps lead, Whose gracious hands uphold the weak,
Thy love our path surround. And raise the poor that fall.

How good thou art how large thy grace


!
5 0, might I hear that heavenly tongue
How ready to forgive !
But whisper, " Thou art mine,"
Thy mercies crown our fleeting days, Those gentle words should raise my song
And by thy love we live. To notes almost divine.

1 There 's a wideness in God's mercy, Through thine empire's wide domain,
Like the wideness of the sea Wings an angel, guides a sparrow,
There 's a kindness in his justice, Blessed be thy gentle reign.

Earth is with its fullness stored ; Him who saw thy guilt-born fear,
Unto thee be glory given, And, the light of hope revealing,
Holy, holy, holy Lord !
Bade the blood-stained cross appear.
Thus thy glorious name confessing,
Weadopt the angels' cry, Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling
Holy, holy, holy, blessing Vainly would my lips express

Nor envy the rich sinner's state.

Amid the business of the day. And join the chorus of the skies.

That face which I have often seen ? The matchless love of Christ, my King;
Arise, thou Sun of Righteousness, And finding there no end of days,
Scatter the clouds that intervene. So shall I find no end of praise.

He brings my weary feet \uu 648, 308, 395.

Shows me the glories of my God, 1 Thou dear Redeemer, dying Lamb,


And makes my joy complete. I love to hear of thee

6 Since from his bounty I receive


No music 's like thy charming name,
Such proofs of love divine,
Nor half so sweet can be.

Had I a thousand hearts to give, 2 let me ever hear thy voice


Lord, they should all be thine. In mercy to me speak
Samuel Stennett.
In thee, my Priest, will I rejoice,
121 395, 446, 183. And thy salvation seek.
i The head that once was crowned with
3 My Jesus shall be still my theme
thorns
While in this world I stay
Is crowned with glory now I '11 sing my Jesus' lovely name
A royaldiadem adorns
While all things else decay.
The mighty Victor's brow.
The highest place that heaven affords,
4 When I appear in yonder cloud,
With all thy favored throng,
Is his by sovereign right
Then will I sing more sweet, more loud,
The King of kings, and Lord of lords,
He reigns in glory bright ;
And Christ shall be my song.
John Cennick.

My ransom from the dreadful guilt
Alone in Jesus to rejoice,
Of sin and wrath divine !
And worship at his feet;
I'd sing his glorious righteousness, Come, take his praises on your tongues,
In which all-perfect heavenly dress And raise to him your thankful songs
My soul shall ever shine.
In him ye are complete

I'd sing the character he bears,


2 In him, who all our praise excels,
And allthe forms of love he wears, The fullness of the Godhead dwells,
Exalted on his throne And all perfections meet
In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, The head of all celestial powers,
I would to everlasting days Divinely theirs, divinely ours
Make all his glories known. In him ye are complete

Well, the delightful day will come, 3 Still onward urge your heavenly way,
When my dear Lord will take me home, Dependent on him day by day,
And I shall see his face His presence still entreat
Then, with my Saviour, Brother, Friend, His precious name forever bless,
A blest eternity I'll spend, Your glory, strength, and righteousness
Triumphant in his grace. In him ye are complete

Crown him the Lord of love
1 Beyond the starry skies,
Behold his hands and side,
Far as the eternal hills,
Those wounds, yet visible above,
There in the boundless world of light
In beauty glorified
Our great Redeemer dwells.
No angel in the sky Around him angels fair
Can fully bear that sight,
In countless armies shine
But downward bends his wondering eye And ever, in exalted lays,
At mysteries so great. They offer songs divine.
Crown him the Lord of peace " Hail, Prince of life " they cry, !

Whose hand a scepter sways " Whose unexampled love


From pole to pole, that wars may cease, Moved thee to quit these glorious realms
And all be prayer and praise And royalties above."
His reign shall know no end, And when he stooped to earth,
And round his pierced feet And suffered rude disdain,
Fair flowers of paradise extend, They cast their honors at his feet,
Their fragrance ever sweet. And waited in his train.
Crown him the Lord of years, They saw him on the cross,
The Potentate of time, While darkness vailed the skies
Creator of the rolling spheres, And when he burst the gates of death,
Ineffably sublime They saw the Conqueror rise.
All hail Kedeemer, hail!
! They thronged his chariot wheels,
For thou hast died for me And bore him to his throne
Thy praise shall never, never fail Then swept their golden harps and sung,
Throughout eternity. " That glorious work is done."

Lord of life, thy smile enlightens, Bow, my soul, no idle dreamer,
Cheers, and charms thy saints on earth Worship him who saves the race
"When we think of love like thine, He who reigned with God on high,
Lord, we own it love divine. He who laid his glory by:
Hallelujah! hallelujah! Sing his praises, sing his praises,
Hallelujah! amen. Sing of him who came to die.
3 King of glory, reign forever, 2 How shall mortal man adore thee,
Thine an everlasting crown Thou the high, In) mortal One?
Nothing from thy love shall sever Sinful dust might bow before thee
Those whom thou shalt call thine own While the countless ages run
Happy objects of thy grace, Yet 't were vain to worship thee
Destined to behold thy face l Unless love the motive be.
Hallelujah hallelujah
! l O my Saviour ! O
my Saviour
Hallelujah amen. ! Grant this gift of love to me.
4 Saviour, hasten thine appearing 3 Vain are all the words I 've spoken,
Bring, O bring, the glorious day Lord, to show that love is mine
When, the awful summons hearing, Godly life shall be the token
Heaven and earth shall pass away Of my love for things divine.
Then, with golden harps, we '11 sing, This I covet, this bestow,
" Glory, glory to our King Strength to live aright below
Hallelujah! hallelujah! Then how much thy child doth love thee,
Hallelujah! amen." my Saviour, thou shalt know

2 Ye daughters of Zion, declare, have you His lips, as a fountain of righteousness flow,
seen To water the gardens of grace
The star that on Israel shone ? From which their salvation the Gentiles
Say if in your tents my Beloved has been, shall know,
And where with his flock he has gone. And bask in the smiles of his face.
He looks, and ten thousands of angels
3 His voice, as the sound of the dulcimer rejoice,
sweet, And myriads wait for his word
Is heard through the shadows of death ; He speaks, and eternity, filled with his
The cedars of Lebanon how at his feet, voice,
The air is perfumed with his breath. Re-echoes the praise of the Lord.

Plant holy fear in every heart, Dispel the gloomy shades of night,
That we from God may ne'er depart. The thicker darkness of the mind.

That we must take to dwell with God The glorious truth thy words reveal
Lead us to Christ, the living way, me to run the heavenly way,

Nor let us from his precepts stray. Make me delight to do thy will.

As when Elijah felt its power? Till earth's wild wastes in verdure rise,
When glory beamed from Moses' brow,
And blooming Eden bless our eyes.

That animates these strong desires?
And heal the anguish of my soul.

O make thy light within me shine I love my God and taste his grace,
Forgive my sins, my guilt remove, Lord, is it not thy blissful ray
And send the tokens of thy love. That brings this dawn of sacred peace?

3 Come with thy healing from above, 4 thy good Spirit in my heart

2 raise our thoughts from things below, 4 Then with our spirits witness bear
From vanities and toys I
That we are sons of God,
Then shall we with fresh courage go Redeemed from sin, and death, and hell,
To reach eternal joys. Through Christ's atoning blood.

3 Awake our souls to joyful songs 5 God, through himself, we then shall know,
Let pure devotions rise If thou within us shine
Till praise employs our thankful tongues, And sound, with all thy saints below,
And doubt forever dies. The depths of love divine.

2 'Tis thine to soothe the sorrowing mind, 4 Come as the wind, with rushing sound,
With guilt and fear oppressed With Pentecostal grace
'Tis thine to bid the dying live, And make the great salvation known,
And give the weary rest. Wide as the human race.
3 Subdue the power of every sin, 5 Spirit Divine, attend our prayer,
Whate'er that sin may be And make our hearts thy home
That we, in singleness of heart, Descend with all thy gracious power
May worship only thee. Come, Holy Spirit, come !

2 Convince us all of sin, 1 Come, Spirit, source of light,


Then lead to Jesus' blood, Thy grace is unconfined
And to our wondering view reveal Dispel the gloomy shades of night,
The mercies of our God. The darkness of the mind.
3 Eevive our drooping faith, 2 Now to our eyes display
Our doubts and fears remove, The truth thy words reveal
And kindle in our breasts the flame Cause us to run the heavenly way,
Of never-dying love. Delighting in thy will.

4 'T is thine to cleanse the heart, 3 Thy teachings make us know


To sanctify the soul, The mysteries of thy love,
To pour fresh life in every part, The vanity of things below,
And new-create the whole. The joy of things above.

Holy Spirit, power divine, 1 Come, divine and peaceful Guest,
Cleanse this guilty heart of mine Enter each devoted breast
Long has sin, without control, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire,
Held dominion o'er my soul. Kindle there the gospel fire.

Holy Ghost, with joy divine, 2 God, the everlasting God,


Cheer this saddened heart of mine, Makes with mortals his abode
Bid my many woes depart, Whom the heavens cannot contain,
Heal my wounded, bleeding heart. He vouchsafes to dwell in man.
Holy Spirit, all divine, 3 Never will he thence depart,
Dwell within this heart of mine, Inmate of a humble heart
Cast down every idol-throne, Carrying on his work within,
Reign supreme, and reign alone. Striving till he cast out sin.

Wash me in his precious blood. Wake my spirit, clear my sight.
Life and peace to me impart, 2 Holy Spirit, love divine,
Seal salvation on my heart, Glow within this heart of mine,
Breathe thyself into my breast Kindle every high desire,
Earnest of immortal rest. Perish self in thy pure fire.

Fill my soul with joy divine, Be my law, and I shall be

1 Imposture shrinks from light,
In faith thy word obey
Anddreads the curious eye
send thy Spirit from above,
But sacred truths the test invite,
To teach me, Lord, thy way. They bid us search and try.
3 Thy counsels all are plain, 2 may we still maintain
Thy precepts all are pure A meek, inquiring mind,
And long as heaven and earth remain,
Assured we shall not search in vain,
Thy truth shall still endure. But hidden treasures find.

Trust in thy faithful word ; Created to be free,
Be it through life my glad employ, Our faith on man we dare not rest,
To keep thy precepts, Lord. We trust alone in thee.

1 Blessed Bible, how I love it
Precious treasure, thou art mine ! How it my bosom cheer
doth
Mine to tell me whence I came What hath earth like this to covet ?
Mine to teach me what I am 0, what stores of wealth are here
2 Mine to chide me when I rove 2 'T a fountain ever bursting,
is
Mine to show a Saviour's love Whence the weary may obtain
Mine art thou to guide my feet Water for the soul that's thirsting,
Mine to judge, condemn, acquit That it may not thirst again.
3 Mine to comfort in distress, 3 'T is a chart that never faileth,
If the Holy Spirit bless One which God to man has given ;

Mine to show by living faith, And though oft the storm assaileth,
Man can triumph over death j It will guide you safe to heaven.
4 Mine to tell of joys to come, 4 'T is a pearl of price exceeding
And the rebel sinner's doom All the gems in ocean found ;

O thou holy book divine And, its sacred precepts heeding,


Precious treasure, thou art mine So shall you in grace abound.

The church from her dear Master The heavens declare his glory,
Received the gift divine, Their Maker's skill, the skies
And that light she lifteth
still Each day repeats the story,
O'er all the earth to shine. And night to night replies.
It is the golden casket Their silent proclamation
Where gems of truth are stored, Throughout the earth is heard,
It is the heaven-drawn picture The record of creation,
Of Christ the living Word. The page of nature's word.
It floateth like a banner But there 's a radiance streaming
Before God's host unfurled, More bright than that of day,
It shineth like a beacon 'Tis God's own glory beaming
Above the stormy world In truth's celestial ray :

It is the chart and compass So pure, so soul restoring,


That o'er life's raging sea, It makes the simple wise
'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands, And, balm of comfort pouring,
Still guides, O Christ, to thee Each aching heart supplies.

0, make thy church, dear Saviour, Thy word is richer treasure


A lamp of burnished gold, Than lurks within the mine
To bear before the nations And daintiest fare less pleasure
Thy true light as of old Yields than this food divine.
0, teach thy wandering pilgrims How wise each kind monition
By this their path to trace, Led by thy counsels, Lord,
Till, clouds and darkness ended, How safe the saints' condition
They see thee face to face. How great is their reward !

Grows tarnished in our earthly clasp 1 Truth the gem for which we seek,

tell us where shall it be found !

Pure in itself, without a flaw,


For this we search, and pray, and weep,
It dims in our too worldly grasp.
That truth may in our hearts abound.
3 Forgive the sacrilege, and take
From every soul the unholy stain, 2 We want the truth on every point,
And help us for thy Son's dear sake, We want it all to practice by
To keep thy perfect law again. Do thou, Lord, our eyes anoint
Anon. With a fresh unction from on high.

3 Were not the ten commandments given
1 law of God ! blest and divine 1
By the great Source of light and truth.
Penned by the Everlasting Hand !
For all who tread the path to heaven
Long shall thy sacred precepts shine, From the dark wilderness of earth ?
Firm as the eternal hills shall stand.
4 Then, as we would our God obey,
2 God's covenant shall e'er abide, In letter and in spirit too,
Though heaven and earth shall pass
us keep the seventh day,

For it is plainly brought to view.

all perfect law of the Most High
I'llpublish 'mong the sons of men Law ever holy, just, and good
That sacred law, though others scorn No other code with thee can vie,
To keep thy holy precepts ten. Unrivaled thou hast ever stood.
4 that an angel's tongue were mine ! 2 Let thy ten words my soul convert
Then would I magnify that word, From
every false and sinful way ;

Which, echoing from lips divine, Write thy pure precepts on my heart,
From Sinai's rugged mount was heard. That from thy truth I may not stray.
5 And when old earth shall be restored 3 Then in the glorious world' to come,
To Eden beauty, fair and bright, No more I'll need the chastening rod
And God himself shall dwell with men, For all who reach that blissful home
Still in that law shall I delight. Will be in harmony with God.

2 My hopes of heaven were firm and bright 1 Thy law is perfect, Lord of light,

With a convincing power and light, The statutes ofthy realm are right,_

Till terribly I saw And make thy servant wise ;

How perfect, holy, just, and pure, Let these be gladness to my heart,
Was thy eternal law. The dayspring to mine eyes.

So sweet a rest to weary minds God's blessed rest-day all divine
A
blessed antepast is given, The labors of the week are past,
On this day more than all the seven Now let earth's cares aside be cast.
3 that our thoughts and thanks may rise 2 let us help repair the breach,
As grateful incense to the skies, And all of God's commandments teach,
And draw from Christ that sweet repose Calling his rest-day our delight,
Which none but he who feels it knows. Thus walking blameless in his sight,
4 This heavenly calm within the breast 3 This holy rest to us is given,
Is the best pledge of glorious rest, To our minds from earth to heaven
call
Which for the church of God remains, That we may not forget the Lord,

Proclaims the holy day of rest. And hail another Sabbath-day.
3 Blest hour, when God himself draws nigh, 2 Now met to praise his holy name,
Well pleased his people's voice to hear, Whose mercies flow each day the same,
To hush the penitential sigh, Whose kind compassions never cease,
And wipe away the mourner's tear. We seek instruction, pardon, peace.
4 Blest hour ! for, where the Lord resorts, 3 Let every tongue its silence break,
Foretastes of future bliss are given Let every one his goodness speak,
And mortals find his earthly courts Who deigns his glory to display
The house of God, the gate of heaven. On each returning Sabbath-day.

Thy works of grace how bright they shine And sanctified for man his rest
How deep thy counsels, how divine !

When grace has purified my heart, 3 It speaks of him whose wondrous might
Then I shall share a glorious part The heavens and earth from nothing
And fresh supplies of joy be shed, made;
Like holy oil to cheer my head. Who formed the glorious orbs of light,
Then shall I see and hear and know And the deep sea's foundations laid.

And every hour find sweet employ Remember with respect and love

Gently now thy moments run


Of creation's week the best
Balm to soothe our cares and woes, Last of all the chosen seven,
Till our labor here is done.
Blest of God, to man 't was given
3 Holy day that most we prize,
2 First his six day's work was done,
Day of solemn praise and prayer,
Then the Sabbath hour begun
Day to make the simple wise,
Thus he blessed the seventh day,
0, how great thy blessings are
Thus in resting we obey.
4 Welcome, welcome, day of rest,
3 While we praise our Maker's name,
With thy influence all divine
May thy hallowed hours be blessed
We his faithful promise claim
Meet with us, dear Lord, we pray,
To this waiting heart of mine.
Anon. Thine are we, and thine this day.

To eternity's glad day.
2 Ever since creation's birth,
24d 407, 467, 480,
1 Welcome, sacred day of rest
Thou hast been to cheer our earth
Sweet repose from worldly care
When the course of time began, Day above all day£ the best,
Thou wast made, and made for man.
When our souls for heaven prepare.
3 While thou bringest peaceful rest,
2 Gracious Lord, we love this day,
Man by thee is doubly blest When we hear thy holy word ;
Thou dost tend our thoughts to raise When we sing thy praise, and pray
To our great Creator's praise. Earth can no such joys afford.
4 Thus drawn nearer to our Lord, 3 But a better rest remains,
Hearts attuned to sweet accord, Heavenly Sabbaths, happier days,
We shall hail the glorious day Rest from sin, and rest from pains,
When all flesh shall own thy sway. Endless joys, and endless praise.

May thy glory meet our eyes Or has sweet communion shone

Of our everlasting feast. Prayerfully, with constant heart,
We might yield it up content,

The Sabbath-day was blessed, But, bruised for us, our stripes he bore,
Hallowed, and sanctified We'll go in peace and sin no more.
It was Jehovah's rest, R. F. CottrelL

And
so it must abide 253 859, 167, 254.
'T was set apart before the fall, Welcome, the Sabbath hour,
'T was made for man, 'twas made for all. The holy and the blest
And when from Sinai's mount, With sweet, subduing power
Amidst the fire and smoke, It calms the soul to rest

Jehovah did recount, And hope and love spring up anew,

And all his precepts spoke, To cheer us on our journey through.


He claimed the rest-day as his own, Our
only care and aim
And wrote it with his law on stone. Throughout this hallowed day,
The Son of God appeared To glorify thy name,
With tidings of great joy And grateful homage pay
God's precepts he revered,
Advance the glory of thy cause,
He came not to destroy And vindicate thy righteous laws.
None of the law was set aside, Descend, celestial Dove
But every tittle ratified. E'en while we wait and sing
Come from the throne of love,
Our Saviour did not die
With healing on thy wing
To render null and void
With ardent zeal each heart inspire,
The law of the Most High,
A.nd rebaptize with holy fire.
Which cannot be destroyed \

To living streams his little flock .Show us our weakness, let us see
May he in flowery pastures feed, Wehave our power, our all, from thee.
Shade us at noon beneath the rock.
3 Enrich us always with thy love
2 Now may we hear our Shepherd's voice, Our kind Protector ever prove
And gladly answer to his call Thy signet put upon each breast,
Now may our hearts in him rejoice And let thy Spirit on us rest.
Who knows, and names, and loves us all. John Cennick.

May honor thee, our God and King Which through thy grace we now have heard
That our example day by day may the precious seed take root,
May teach the sacred truths we sing. Spring up, and bear abundant fruit.

2 Lord, in thy grace we came, 1 To God, the only wise,
Thy blessing still impart Who keeps us by his word,
We met in Jesus' sacred name, Be glory now and evermore,
In Jesus' name we part. Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
3 May we receive his word, 2 Hosanna to the Word,
And feed thereon, and grow Who from the Father came
Go on to seek and know the Lord, Ascribe salvation to the Lord,
And practice what we know. And ever bless his name.
4 Soon shall we hear him say, 3 The grace of Christ our Lord,
"
" Ye blessed children, come ! The Father's boundless love,
Soon will he call us hence away The Spirit's blest communion, too,
To our eternal home. Be with us from above.

1 Lord, at this closing hour 2 With thee when dawn comes in,
Establish every heart And calls me back to care,
Upon thy word of truth and power. Each day returning to begin
To keep us when we part. With thee, my God, in prayer.
2 Peace to our brethren give, 3 With thee, when day is done,
Fill all our hearts with love And evening calms the mind
In faith and patience may we live, The setting, as the rising sun,
And seek our rest above. With thee my heart would find.
3 Through changes, bright or drear, 4 With thee, in thee, by faith
We would thy will pursue, Abiding I would be
And toil to spread thy kingdom here By day, by night, in life, in death,
Till we its glory view. I would be still with thee.

2 Jesus, hear our humble prayer 1 Christian brethren, ere we part,
Tender Shepherd of thy sheep, Every voice and every heart
Let thy mercy and thy care Join, and to our Father raise
All our souls in safety keep. One last hymn of grateful praise.
2 Though we here should meet no more,
3 In thy strength may we be strong
Yet there is a brighter shore
Sweeten every cross and pain,
There released from toil and pain,
And our wasting lives prolong
Saints with joy shall meet again.
Till we meet on earth again. Henry K. White.

4 Then if thou thy help afford,


Jilo 158, 407, 457.

Joyful songs to thee shall rise, 1 Thou, from whom we never part,

And our souls shall praise the Lord, Thou, whose love is everywhere,
Who regards our humble cries. Thou, who seest every heart,
John Newton. Listen to our closing prayer.

2iiO 15, 407, 531. 2 Father, fill our hearts with love,
1 For the mercies of the day, Love unfailing, full and free
For this rest upon our way, Love that no alarm can move,
Thanks to thee alone be given, Love that ever rests on thee.

If 't is sweet with them to raise
By thy grace alone we live.
Songs of holy joy and praise,
3 While this thorny path we tread, 0, how sweet that state must be,
May thy love our footsteps lead Where they meet eternally
When our journey here is past, Saviour, may these meetings prove
May we rest with thee at last. Preparations from above
4 Let these earthly Sabbaths prove As we leave this sacred place,
Foretastes of our joys above May we go from grace to grace,
While their steps thy children bend Tillwe each, in his degree,
To the rest that knows no end. Fit for endless glory be.

2 Once did the skies before thee bow 1 When Jordan hushed his waters still,
A virgin's arms contain thee now And silence slept on Zion's hill
Angels, who did in thee rejoice, When Salem's shepherds through the night
Now listen to thy infant voice. Watched o'er their flocks by starry light;
3 A little child, thou art onr guest,
2 Hark I from the midnight hills around,
That weary ones in thee may rest A voice of more than mortal sound
Forlorn and lowly is thy birth, In distant hallelujahs stole,
That we may rise to heaven from earth.
Like music o'er the raptured soul.
4 Thou comest in the darksome night,
3 On wheels of light, on wings of flame,
To make us children of the light The glorious hosts of Zion came
To make us, in the realms divine, High heaven with songs of triumph rung,
Like thy own angels round thee shine. While angels struck their harps and sung.
Thomas Campbell.
5 All this for us thy love hath done,
By this to thee our love is won £o ( 168, 64, 136.

For this we tune our cheerful lays, 1 Before the heavens were spread abroad,
And tell our thanks in songs of praise. From everlasting was the Word
Martin Luther. With God he was, the Word was God
285 108, 212, 197. And must divinely be adored.
i Wake ! myand hail the morn
soul, ;
2 Ere sin was born, or Satan fell,
For unto us a Saviour's born
See how the angels wing their way
He led the host of morning stars
His generation who can tell,
To usher in the glorious day !

Or count the number of his years ?


Hark what sweet music what a song
! !

Sounds from the bright, celestial throng 3 But lo he leaves those heavenly forms
!
!

Sweet song, whose melting strains impart The Word descends and dwells in clay,
Joy to each raptured, listening heart. That he may converse hold with worms,
Dressed in such feeble flesh as they.
Come, join the angels as they cry,
" Glory to God who reigns on high 4 The angels leave their high abode,
;

Let peace and love on earth abound, To learn new mysteries here, and tell

"While spheres revolve and years roll The love of our descending God,
round." The glories of Immanuel.

2 " Fear not," said he, — for mighty dread 3 Swift through the vast expanse it flew,
And loud the echo rolled
Had seized their troubled mind,
Glad tidings of great joy I bring The theme, the song, the joy, was new,
To you and all mankind. 'Twas more than heaven could hold.

3 " To you,
4 Down through the portals of the sky
in David's town this day
The impetuous torrent ran
Is born, of David's line,
The Saviour, who is Christ the Lord
And angels flew, with eager joy,

And To bear the news to man.


this shall be the sign

4 " The heavenly babe you there shall find " Glory to God on high !

To human view displayed, Good-will and peace are now complete,


All humbly wrapped in swathing-bands,
Through Christ who came to die.
And in a manger laid."
6 Hail, Prince of life, forever hail
5 Thus spake the seraph ; and forthwith Redeemer, Brother, Friend
Appeared a shining throng Though earth, and time, and life shall fail,
Of angels, praising God on high, Thy praise shall never end.
Who thus addressed their song Samuel Medley.

2 His name shall be the Prince of peace,
1 Mortals, awake, with angels join,
Forevermore adored,
And chant the solemn lay The Wonderful, the Counselor,
Joy, love, and gratitude combine,
The great and mighty Lord
To hail the auspicious day.
3 His power increasing still shall spread,
2 In heaven the rapturous song began,
His reign no end shall know
And sweet seraphic fire
Justice shall guard his throne above,*
Through all the shining legions ran,
And peace abound below.

2 through the cloven skies they come,
Still The answering hills of Palestine
With peaceful wings unfurled Send back the glad reply,
And still their heavenly music floats And greet from all their holy hights
O'er all the weary world The Dayspring from on high
Above its sad and lowly plains O'er the blue depths of Galilee
They bend on hovering wing, There comes a holier calm ;
And ever o'er its Babel sounds And Sharon waves in solemn praise
The blessed angels sing. Her silent groves of palm.
3 But with the woes of sin and strife " the lofty strain
The world has suffered long
" Glory to God !

The realm of ether fills


Beneath the angel-strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong How sweeps the song of solemn joy
O'er Judah's sacred hills
And man, at war with man, hears not " Glory to God " the sounding skies
!
The love song which they bring
Loud with their anthems ring
cease, ye mortals, cease your strife,
" Peace on the earth good will to men,
And hear the angels sing ;

Edmund H. Sears. From heaven's eternal King."


292 486, 450, 83. To-day shall Christian tongues be mute,
Calm on the listening ear of night, And Christian hearts be cold ?
Come heaven's melodious strains, catch the anthem that from heaven
Where wild Judea stretches far O'er Judah's mountains rolled
Her silver-mantled plains
When sweetly burst from seraph-harps
Celestial choirs from courts above The high and solemn lay,
Shed sacred glories there " Glory to God on earth be peace
;

And angels, with their sparkling lyres,


Salvation comes to-day !

Make music on the air. Edmund H. Sears.

5 " Hasten, mortals ! to adore him
2 Startled shepherds, all awaking,
Learn his name and taste his joy
Hear the song the angels sing,
Till in heaven you stand before him,
And their frightened flocks forsaking,
Go to seek the Saviour-king. And his praise your tongues employ."
John Cawood.

Prince of light and Lord of love CiWl 277, 92, 41.
King of heaven, high and holy, 1 Angels, from the realms of glory,

Boon on earth from courts above I Wing your flight o'er all the earth
Ye who sang creation's story,
4 We exalt thee, we adore thee, Now proclaim Messiah's birth.
We rejoice, and praise thy name
Every knee shall bend before thee, Cho. — Come and worship, come and worship.
Every tongue thy love proclaim. Worship Christ, the new-born King.
F. E. Belden.

2 Shepherds in the field abiding,

1 Hark ! what mean those holy voices, Watching o'er your flocks by night,

Sweetly warbling in the skies ? God with man is now residing,

All the heavenly host rejoices, Yonder shines the infant light.

Loudest hallelujahs rise. 3 Sages, leave your contemplations,


2 Listen to the wondrous story, Brighter visions beam afar
Which they chant in hymns of joy, Seek the great Desire of nations
" Glory in the highest, glory Ye have seen his natal star.
Glory be to God most high
4 Saints, before the altar bending,
3 " Peace on earth, good-will from heaven, Watching long in hope and fear,
Reaching far as man is found Suddenly the Lord, descending,
Souls redeemed, and sins forgiven ; In his temple shall appear.
Loud our golden harps shall sound.
5 Sinners, wrung with true repentance,
4 " Christborn, the great Anointed
is
Come with all your guilty stains
Heaven and earth his glory sing Justice now revokes the sentence,
Glad receive whom God appointed,
For your Prophet, Priest, and King.
Mercy calls you, break your chains. — James Montgomery.

Pure, and free from sin's alloy,
2 As with joyful steps they sped All our costliest treasures bring,
To that lowly manger-bed, Christ, to thee, our heavenly King.
There to bend the knee before
Him whom heaven and earth adore 4 Blessed Saviour, every day
So may we with willing feet Keep us in the narrow way ;

Ever seek the mercy-seat. And, when earthly things are past,
Bring our ransomed souls at last

At that manger rude and bare
Where no clouds thy glory hide.

Such zeal, and truth, and love divine, Yet love through all thy torture glowed,

So patient, pure, and undefiled ? To hail their great Deliverer came
Oh, who like thee did ever go O'er the cold grave he bowed his head,
So sinless through a world of woe ? He spake the word, and raised the dead.
3 Oh, who like thee so humbly bore 4 Despairing madness, dark and wild,
The scorn, the scoffs of men, before ? In his inspiring presence smiled ;

So meek, so lowly, yet so high, The storm of horror ceased to roll,


So glorious in humility? And reason lighted up the soul.

suffering life 5 Through paths of loving-kindness led,
Thou hadst not where to lay thy head Where Jesus triumphed, we would tread ;

And since, Lord, 't was all for me, To all with willing hands dispense

A weight of sorrow hung While Jesus bowed in prayer,
Yet no ungentle, murmuring word Beheld his vesture glow with light,
Escaped thy silent tongue. His face shine wondrous fair.

Unwearied in forgiveness still, With Carmel's hoary prophet stood
Thy heart could only love. The giver of the law.

To give the mourner joy, The blessed Saviour passed
To preach glad tidings to the poor, A mourner all his life was he,
Was his divine employ. A dying Lamb at last.
3 'Mid keen reproach and cruel scorn, 2 That tender heart that felt for all,

He meek and patient stood For all its life-blood gave


His foes, ungrateful, sought his life, It found on earth no resting-place,
Who labored for their good. Save only in the grave.
4 Be Christ our pattern and our guide, 3 Such was our Lord and shall we fear

His image may we bear The cross, with all its scorn ?

Till we his glory share That wreathed his brow with thorn ?

2 Behold him, all ye passers by


Would Jesus have the sinner die ?
The bleeding Prince of life and peace
Come, sinners, see your Saviour die,
Why hangs he then on yonder tree ?
What means that strange expiring cry ?
And say, was ever grief like his ?
Sinners, he prays for you and me
Come, feel with me his blood applied,
My Lord, my Love, is crucified
'
Forgive them, Father, O forgive
They know not that by me they live."

3 Is crucified for me and you, Jesus, descended from above,


To bring us rebels back to God Our loss of Eden to retrieve
Believe, believe the record true, Great God of universal love,
Ye all are bought with Jesus' blood If all the world through thee may live,
Pardon for all flows from his side, In us a quickening spirit be,
My Lord, my Love, is crucified. And witness thou hast died for me.
4 Then let us sit beneath his cross, 0, let thy love my heart constrain,
And gladly catch the healing stream ;
Thy every sinner free,
love, for
All things for him account but loss, That every fallen son of man

Of nothing think or speak beside, That all mankind his love may prove

When Christ the Lord was crucified And shed that sacred flood
That holy, reconciling tide
For man, the creature's sin.

While his dear cross appears,

Nailed to the shameful tree
How vast the love that him inclined Of love and agony,
To die for you and me I
When our Redeemer bowed his head,
And died on Calvary !

fainting under guilt's dread load,
And earth's strong pillars bend Unto the cross I'll fly,
The temple's vail in sunder breaks, And trust the merits of the blood
The solid marbles rend. That flowed at Calvary.

He bows his head, and dies. Repair to Calvary.

2 "Father, remove this bitter cup, 1 Jesus,sweet the tears I shed
If such thy sacred will While at thy cross I kneel,
If not, content to drink it up, Gaze on thy wounded, fainting head,
Thy pleasure I fulfill." And all thy sorrows feel,
3 Go to the garden, sinner, see 2 My heart dissolves to see thee bleed,
Those precious drops that flow This heart so hard before
The heavy load be bore for thee, I hear thee for the guilty plead,
For thee he lies so low. And grief o'erflows the more.
4 Then learn of him the cross to bear, 3 I know this cleansing blood of thine
Thy Father's will obey Was shed, dear Lord, for me
And, when temptations press thee near,
Awake to watch and pray.

Thy struggling agony Which did in Adam fail,


When night lay dark on Olivet, Should strive afresh against the foe,
And none to watch with thee ? Should strive and should prevail 1

2 Behold the Saviour's agony But in the light of dawning day


While groaning in Gethsemane Bright angels rolled the rock away,
Beneath the sins of men. And Christ, the Conqueror, rose.
3 With purple rohe and thorny crown, Now he who died on Calvary
And mocking soldiers bowing down, Still lives to plead for you and me
The Saviour bears my shame. And bids us look and live.

4 Behold, they shed his precious blood !


Soon he who once was scourged and bound
Shall come again, with glory crowned,
0, hear him cry, " My God, my God,
Hast thou forsaken me?
" And reign forevermore.

5 He died the earth was robed in gloom


! !
His saints shall crown him Lord of all

They laid him then in Joseph's tomb, Before him every foe shall fall,

While soldiers watched around. And every knee shall bow.

2 It was the Saviour's prayer For cruel voices filled the gale
That on the silence broke, That came from Kedron's gloomy vale.
Imploring strength from heaven to bear
The sin-avenging stroke [Tune Martyn, No. 464.] 7s. d.
As in Gethsemane he knelt, Bound upon the accursed tree,
And pangs unknown his bosom felt. Faint and bleeding, who is He ?
By the eyes so pale and dim,
3 The fitful starlight shone Streaming blood, and writhing limb,
In dim and misty gleams By the flesh with scourges torn,
Deep was his agonizing groan, By the crown of twisted thorn,
And large the vital streams
By the drooping, death-dewed brow
Which trickled to the dewy sod,
Son of man, 't is thou 't is thou ! !

While Jesus raised his voice to God.

4 The chosen three that staid Bound upon the accursed tree,
Their nightly watch to keep, Dread and awful, who is He ?
Left him through sorrows deep to wade, By the sun at noonday pale,
And gave themselves to sleep Shivering rocks, and rending vail,
Meekly and sad he prayed alone, By the earth enwrapt in gloom,
Strangely forgotten by his own. By the saints who burst their tomb,
Lord, our suppliant knees we bow !

5 Along the streamlet's bank Son of God 't is thou 't is thou
! ! !

The reckless traitor came,


And heavy on his bosom sank Bound upon the accursed tree,
The load of guilt and shame Dread and awful, who is He ?
Yet unto those who waited nigh, Bythe prayer for them that slew,
He gave the Lamb of God to die !
Lord they know not what they do
!
!

By the spoiled and empty grave,


6 Among the mountain trees
By the souls he died to save,
The winds were whispering low,
By the rainbow round his brow,
And night's ten thousand harmonies
Son of God 't is thou 't is thou
! ! !

Were harmonies of woe Henry H. Mitotan.

The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew The shining angels, as they speed,
And Jesus is the conqueror's name. Proclaim, " The Lord is risen indeed
!

5 Lo ! his triumphal chariot waits, 2 Vainly with rocks his tomb was barred,
And angels chant the solemn lay While Roman warriors stood on guard.
" Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates Majestic from the spoiled tomb
Ye everlasting doors, give way." In pomp of triumph, he has come
6 Who is this King of glory ? Who ? 3 When the amazed disciples heard,
The Lord, of glorious power possessed Their hearts with speechless joy were
The King of saints and angels too stirred
God over all, forever blest. Their Lord's beloved face to see,

Eager they haste to Galilee.

His face with love's own radiance glows
What joy the blest assurance gives
They with the angels' message speed,
He lives, he lives, who once was dead And shout, " The Lord is risen indeed !

He lives, my everlasting Head


5 Christ, thou King compassionate !

2 He lives to bless me with his love, Our hearts possess, on thee we wait
He lives to plead for me above, Help us to render praises due,
He lives my hungry soul to feed, To thee the endless ages through !

He lives to help in time of need. Ambrosian.

Hark his gracious lips bestow

Death in vain forbids him rise,
Blessings on his church below. He hath opened paradise.
5 Saviour, parted from our sight, 3 Lead us, Lord, where thou hast led,
High above yon azure hight, Thou, our high, exalted Head

Following thee beyond the skies. Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.

353 227, 354.
2 Touched with a sympathy within, Jesus, the Lord of glory, died
He knows our feeble frame That we might never die
He knows what sore temptations mean, And now he reigns supreme, to guide
For he hath felt the same. His people to the sky.

3 He, in the days of feeble flesh, Weak though we are, he still is near.
Poured out his cries and tears To lead, console, defend ;

And in full measure feels afresh In all our sorrow, all our fear,
What every member bears. Our all-sufficient Friend.

4 Then let our humble faith address From his high throne of grace he deigns
His mercy and his power Our every prayer to heed
We shall obtain delivering grace Bears with our folly, soothes our pains,
Tn the distressing hour. Supplies our every need.

2 He gives himself, his life, his all, 4 His work performed, he leaves the seat
A sinless Sacrifice. Of mercy, where found is

For man he drains the cup of gall, The law of God, the ten commands,
For man the victim dies. And comes with glory crowned.
3 And now before his Father's face 5 He that is holy then shall be
His precious blood he pleads In holiness preserved,
For those who seek the throne of grace While sinners vainly strive to flee
His love still intercedes. The wrath they 've long deserved.

For he has borne our grief;
1 Come, let us join our songs of praise
Our great High Priest once felt the same,
To our ascended Priest
And he can send relief.
He entered heaven with all our names
5 His love will not be satisfied, Engraven on his breast.
Till he in glory see
2 He died to wash our guilt away,
The faithful ones for whom he died
By his atoning blood,
From sin forever free.

1 Erected high in heaven stands 3 Clothed with our nature still, he knows
The tabernacle true The weakness of our frame,
And Jesus there in mercy pleads And how to shield us from the foes
For all the faithful few. Which he himself o'ercame.
2 His blood he offers freely now 4 Nor time, nor distance, e'er shall quench
For all who will receive, The fervor of his love
For all who to his truth will bow, For us he died in kindness here,
And in his word believe. For us he lives above.

8 The Jewish priesthood shadowed forth 5 0, may we ne'er forget his grace,
His ministration there, Nor blush to speak his name
The cleansing of the inner court, Still may our hearts hold fast his faith,
His coming to prepare. Our lips his praise proclaim.

Its wondrous power is breaking By thy merits we find favor
Each bond of guilt for me; Life is given through thy name.

Opened is the gate of heaven,
Her title to Thy throne.
Peace is made 'twixt man and God

1 Infinite Love what precious stores !

The storm was loud, the night was dark,


yawned, and blowed
Thy mercy has prepared for us

The costliest gems, the richest ores,
The wind that tossed my foundering
Could never have endowed us thus.

2 But thy soft hand, gracious Lord,
3 Deep horror then my vitals froze
Can draw from suffering souls the sting
Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem
When suddenly a star arose,
And thy rich bounty to our board
Can bread for hungering sinners bring.
It was the Star of Bethlehem.
3 How rich the grace the gift how free

It bade my dark forebodings cease
'T is only " ask," —

And through the storm and danger's thrall The opening door that leads to heaven.
It led me to the port of peace.

I could from all things parted be,
But never, never, Lord, from thee. 368 275, 307, 336.

2 Needful is thy most precious blood, Against the God that rules the sky
To reconcile my soul to God I fought, with weapons lifted high
Needful is thy indulgent care, I madly ran the sinful race,
Needful thy all-prevailing prayer. Regardless of a hiding-place.

3 Needful thy presence, dearest Lord, But a celestial voice I heard,


True peace and comfort to afford A bleeding Saviour then appeared
Needful thy promise, to impart Led by the Spirit of his grace,

Fresh life and vigor to my heart. I found in him a hiding-place.


4 Needful art thou, my Guide, my Stay, On him the weight of vengeance fell
Through all life's dark and weary way That else had sunk a world to hell
Nor will at last less needful be Then, my soul, forever praise
To bring me home to heaven and thee. Thy Saviour, God, thy hiding-place !

2 The sovereign will of God alone, 1 How sad our state by nature is
Creates us heirs
Born in the image
of grace
of his Son,

Our sin how deep it stains 1

And Satan holds our captive minds


Anew, peculiar race.
Fast in his slavish chains.
3 The Spirit, like some heavenly wind, 2 But there' s a voice of sovereign grace,
Breathes on the sons of flesh, Sounds from the sacred word
New-models all the carnal mind, " Ho ye despairing sinners, come
!

And forms the man afresh. And trust a pardoning Lord."


4 Our quickened souls awake and rise
3 My soul obeys the almighty call,
From the long sleep of death And runs to this relief;
On heavenly things we fix our eyes, I would believe thy promise, Lord
And praise employs our breath. 0, help my unbelief

Thou only canst inform the mind, 'T is but a few that find the gate,
And purify the heart. While thousands pass it by.
3 Thou art the Life the rending tomb
; 2 Beloved self must be denied,
Proclaims thy conquering arm ; The mind and will renewed,
And those who put their trust in thee, Passion suppressed, and patience tried,
Nor death nor hell shall harm. And vain desires subdued.
4 Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life 3 Lord ! can a feeble, helpless worm
Grant us that way to know, Fulfill a task so hard ?
That truth to keep, that life to win, Thy grace must all my work perform,
Whose joys eternal flow. And give the free reward.

Hath answered these demands, Without a murmuring word
And peace and pardon from the skies And the whole race of Adam own
Are offered by thy hands. Their guilt before the Lord.

With strict inquiring eyes,
Could we for one of thousand faults
Are these the thanks we owe,
Thus to abuse eternal love,
A just excuse devise ?
Whence all our blessings flow ?
3 All-seeing, powerful God
2 To what a stubborn frame
Who can with thee contend ?
Or who, that tries the unequal strife, Has sin reduced our mind
Shall prosper in the end ?
What strange rebellious wretches we,
And God as strangely kind

Their ancient seats forsake
The trembling earth deserts her place, And mold our souls afresh
Break,sovereign grace,these hearts of stone,
Her rooted pillars shake.
And give us hearts of flesh.

Will all the painful load remove.
5 Take up thy cross, and follow Christ
3 Here mercy's boundless ocean flows,
Nor think till death to lay it down
To cleanse your guilt, and heal your woes
For only he who bears the cross
Pardon, and life, and endless peace
May hope to wear the glorious crown.
How rich the gift ! how free the grace !
Charles W. Everest.

4 Lord, we accept, with thankful hearts, 00\J 431, 787, 216.


The hopes thy gracious word imparts 1 God calling yet shall I not hear?
!

We come with trembling, yet rejoice, Earth's pleasures shall I still hold dear ?
And bless the kind, inviting voice. Shall life's swift passing years all fly,
5 Dear Saviour, let thy powerful love And still my soul in slumber lie ?

Confirm our our fears remove


faith,
2 God calling yet ! shall I not rise ?
And sweetly influence every breast,
Can I his loving voice despise,
And guide us to eternal rest.
And basely his kind care repay?
Anne Steele.
He calls me still ; can I delay ?
DOU 428, 215, 47.
1 " Take up thy cross," the Saviour said, 3 God calling yet and shall he knock,
!

" If thou wouldst my


disciple be And I my
heart the closer lock ?
Deny thyself, the world forsake, He still is waiting to receive,
And humbly follow after me." And shall I dare his Spirit grieve ?
2 Take up thy cross not its weight
; let 4 God calling yet and shall I give
!

Fill thy weak with alarm


spirit No heed, but still in bondage live ?
His strength shall bear thy spirit up, I wait, but he does not forsake
And brace thy heart and nerve thy arm He calls me still ; my heart, awake
3 Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame ;
5 God calling yetI cannot stay
!

Nor let thy foolish pride rebel My heart I yield without delay ;
Thy Lord for thee the cross endured, Vain world, farewell from thee I part !

To save thy soul from death and hell. The voice of God hath reached my heart,
Jane Borthwick.

2 Shall God from above ?
invite us
1 Behold a Stranger at the door
Shall Jesus urge Lis dying love ?
He gently knocks, has knocked before,
Shall troubled conscience give us pain?
Has waited long, is waiting still
And all these pleas unite in vain ?
You treat no other friend so ill.
3 Not so our eyes will always view 2 0, lovely attitude he stands !

Those objects which we now pursue With melting heart and laden hands
Not so will heaven and hell appear, 0, matchless kindness and he shows !

When death's decisive hour is near. This matchless kindness to his foes.

4 Almighty God, thy grace impart 3 But will he prove a friend indeed ?
Fix deep conviction on each heart; He will,the very friend you need
Nor let us waste on trifling cares The Friend of sinners yes, 't is he,;

That life which thy compassion spares. With garments dyed on Calvary.
Philip Doddridge.
4 Rise, touched with gratitude divine,
OO 68, 101, 431.
Turn out his enemy and thine
1 Come hither, all ye weary souls
That soul-destroying monster, sin
Ye heavy-laden sinners, come
I'll give you rest from all your toils,
And let the heavenly Stranger in.

And raise you to my heavenly home. 5 Admit him ere his anger burn
His feet, departed, ne'er return
2 They shall find rest who learn of me
Admit him, or the hour 's at hand
I'm of a meek and lowly mind
But passion rages like the sea,
When at his door denied you '11 stand.
Joseph Grigg.
And pride is restless as the wind.
Dt/4 212, 336, 361.
3 Blest the man whose shoulders take

!

My yoke, and bear it with delight And many a shining hour is gone
My yoke is easy to his neck, The storm is gathering in the west,
My grace shall make the burden light. And thou art far from home and rest.

4 Jesus, we come at thy command Then linger not in all the plain,
With faith, and hope, and humble zeal, Flee for thy life, the mountain gain
Resign our spirits to thy hand, Look not behind, make no delay,
To mold and guide us at thy will. speed thee, speed thee on thy way.

When no one else is nigh. From sin's destructive way.

Thy Saviour bids thee live Through his abounding grace
Come to his cross, and, grateful, learn His mercy will the guilt forgive
How freely he'll forgive.
Of those, who seek his face.

Hope smiles reviving round. Whatever may oppose.
2 For every thirsty, longing heart,
3 Prostrate I '11 lie before his throne,
Here streams of bounty flow, And there my guilt confess
And life, and health, and bliss impart, I tell him, I 'm a wretch undone

To banish mortal woe. Without his sovereign grace.


3 Ye sinners, come

2 The day of mercy gone, 1 The Spirit in our hearts,


The Spirit grieved away, Is whispering, " Sinner, come
"
;

The cup, long filling, now o'erflown, The holy Bride of Christ proclaims
Demands the vengeful day. To all her children, " Come " !

3 Thy God, insulted, seems 2 Let him that heareth say


To draw his glittering sword To all about him, " Come " !

And o'er thy guilty head it gleams, Let him that thirsts for righteousness
To vindicate his word. To Christ, the Fountain, come.
4 One only hope I see 3 Yes, whosoever will,
sinner, seize it now let him freely come,
The blood that Jesus shed for thee And freely drink the stream of life
No other hope hast thou. 'Tis Jesus bids him come.
Anon.
4 Lo ! Jesus, who invites,
404 732, 266.
Declares, " I quickly come :

"All things are ready," come Lord, even so, we wait thy hour
Come to the supper spread blest Redeemer, come.
Come, rich and poor, come, old and young Henry Onderdonh.
Come, and be richly fed.
4UO 688, 236.
"All things are ready," come 1 Sinners, the call obey,
The invitation's given The latest call of grace
Through Him who now in glory sits —
The day will come the vengeful day
At God's right hand in heaven. Of a devoted race.
"All things are ready," come 2 To shelter the distressed,
The door is open wide He did the cross endure
feast upon the love of God Enter into the clefts, and rest
For Christ, his Son, has died. In Jesus' wounds secure.
"All things are ready," come 3 Jesus, to thee we fly
To-morrow may not be From the devouring sword
O sinner, come the Saviour waits
! Our city of defense is nigh,
This hour to welcome thee. Our help is in the Lord.

Never can by thee be won. What will then become of thee ?
2 Hasten, sinner, to return 3 Who his advent may abide?
Stay not for the morrow's sun, You that glory in your shame,
Lest thy lamp should fail to burn Will you find a place to hide,
Ere thy work of grace be done. When the world is wrapped in flame?

With many a conflict, many a doubt— Can for a single sin atone

2 Rest formy soul I long to find ;
1 Awaked from sin's delusive sfeep,
Saviour of all, if mine thou art, My heavy guilt I feel, and weep ;

Give me thy meek and lowly mind, Beneath a weight of woes oppressed,
And stamp thine image on my heart. I come to thee, my Lord, for rest.

3 Break off the yoke of inbred sin, 2 Now, from thy throne of grace above,
And fully set my spirit free ;
Look down upon my soul in love
I cannot rest till pure within, That smile shall sweeten all my pain,
Till I am wholly lost in thee. And make my soul rejoice again.

4 Fain would I learn of thee, my God 3 transforming power, By thy divine,


Thy light and easy burden prove, My ruined nature now restore
The cross all stained with hallowed blood, And let my life and temper shine,
The labor of thy dying love. In blest resemblance, Lord, to thine.

Bestore us, Lord, and bid us live Lord, should thy judgment be severe,

3 Forgive us, for our guilt is great, 4 Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord,
Our wretched souls no merit claim ;
Whose hope, stillhovering 'round thy word,
For sovereign mercy still we wait, Would light on some sweet promise there,
And ask but in the Saviour's name. Some sure support against despair.

From highest heaven to earth shall come 2 Lord, I was deaf: I could not hear
Then with my Lord I'll rise, and reign The thrilling music of thy voice

The road that leads from banishment, My come to thee


lifeless soul to

The King's highway of holiness, But now, since thou hast quickened me,
I'll go ; for all his paths are peace. I rise from sin's dark sepulcher.

3 This is the way I long have sought, 5 Lord, thou hast made the blind to see,
And mourned because I found it not The deaf to hear, the dumb to speak,
My grief a burden long has been, The dead to live and lo, I break ;

Because I was not saved from sin. The chains of my captivity

2 My Saviour bids me come 1 I seek the mercy-seat,
Ah why do I delay ?
!
WhereThou dost answer prayer
He calls the weary sinner home,
There humbly fall before thy feet,
And yet from him I stay.
For none can perish there.

3 What is it keeps
back, me 2 Thy promise is my plea
From which I cannot part, With this I venture nigh
Which will not let the Saviour take Thou callest burdened souls to thee,
Possession of my heart ?
And such, Lord, am I.
4 Searcher of hearts, in mine 3 Bowed down beneath my sin,
Thy trying power display By Satan sorely pressed
Into its darkest corners shine, By wars without and fears within ;

And take all sin away. I come to thee for rest.


Charles Wesley.

454 403, 384, 688.


4 Be thou my hiding-place
That, sheltered near thy side,
1 In mercy, not in wrath,
I may rejoice in Jesus' grace
Rebuke me, gracious God
In Jesus crucified.
Lest, if thy whole displeasure rise,
Anon.
I sink beneath thy rod.
45b 403, 89, 151.
2 Touched by thy quickening power, 1 Did Christ o'er sinners weep ?
My load of guilt I feel Andshall our cheeks be dry ?
The wounds thy Spirit hath unclosed Let floods of penitential grief
let that Spirit heal Burst forth from every eye.
3 In trouble and in gloom, 2 The Son of God in tears,
Must I forever mourn ? The wondering angels see !

And wilt thou not at length, God, Be thou astonished, my soul


In pitying love return ? He shed those tears for thee.
4 come ere life expire,
; 3 He wept that we might weep
Send down thy power to save Each sin demands a tear
For who shall sing thy name in death, In heaven alone no sin is found,
Or praise thee in the grave ? And there 's no weeping there.
Anon. Benjamin Beddotne.

2 I have long withstood his grace, 5 In the ark the weary dove
Long provoked him to his face, Found a welcome resting place
Would not hearken to his calls, Thus my spirit longs to prove
Grieved him by a thousand falls. Best in Christ, the Ark of grace.
John Newton.
3 Now incline me to repent 45*7 333, 272, 826.
Let me now my sins lament 1 Blessed Jesus, heavenly Lamb,
Now my foul revolt deplore, Thine and only thine I am
Weep, believe, and sin no more. Take me, body, spirit, soul
Only thou possess the whole.
4 There for me the Saviour stands,
Shows his wounds and spreads his hands 2 Thou my one thing needful be
God is love ! I know, I feel Let me ever cleave to thee
Jesus weeps, and loves me still. Let me choose the better part
Charles IVfsley. Let me give thee all my heart.

All polluted is my best


1 Lord, forgive me, day by day,
But I weary am, I know, Debts I cannot hope to pay ;

And the weary long for rest. Duties I have left undone,
Evils I have failed to shun ;

3 Burdened with a load of sin. 2 Trespasses in word or thought


Harassed with tormenting doubt Deeds from evil motive wrought
Hourly conflicts from within, Cold ingratitude distrust ;

Hourly crosses from without. Thoughts unhallowed, or unjust.

4 All my little strength is gone, 3 Much forgiven, may I learn


Sink must I without supply Love for hatred to return
Sure upon the earth is none Then assured my heart shall be
Can more weary be than I, Thou, my God, hast pardoned me.

To teach me what I am, Upon thy loving breast,
To show me more of Jesus, And givest all thy ransomed
To point me to the Lamb. A

Saved, dear Lord, and saved by thee !
Lead me as a helpless child
On no other arm but thine
3 From my back the burden rolled, Would my weary soul recline
Burden high of sins untold ;
— Thou art ready to forgive,
From my heart all sense of shame Thou canst bid the sinner live,
Passed away when Jesus came. Guide the wanderer, day by day,
what love in Christ I found In the strait and narrow way.
Love so high, so broad, profound 2 Thou canst fit me by thy grace
Love that I can never tell For the heavenly dwelling-place ;

Love that saved my soul from hell. All thy promises are sure,
Ever shall thy love endure
4 How I the debt repay,
shall
Then what more could I desire,
Debt that swells from day to day ? How to greater bliss aspire ?
How can I in words reveal All I need, in thee I see
That which in my heart I feel ?
Thou art all in all to me.
Ah my soul, it ne'er can be

3 Jesus, Saviour all divine,
Love divine 's too high for thee
What I owe to Christ to-day
Hast thou made me truly thine ?
"Words or deeds can ne'er repay.
Hast thou bought me by thy blood ?
Beconciled my heart to God ?
5 Bankrupt 'neath the cross I stand Hearken to my tender prayer,
Thus I sing, 0, sea 0, land — !
— Let me thine own image bear
" In my hand no price I bring, Let me love thee more and more,
Simply to thy cross I cling." Till I reach heaven's blissful shore.

Though you have much peace and comfort
2 Whither should my soul be flying Greater things you yet may find,
But to him who comfort gives ? Freedom from unholy tempers,
Whither from the dread of dying Freedom from the carnal mind.
But to him who ever lives ? To procure your perfect freedom,
While I view thee, wounded, grieving, Jesus suffered, groaned, and died
Breathless on the cursed tree,
On the cross the healing fountain
Fain I 'dfeel my heart believing
Gushes from his wounded side.
Thou didst suffer thus for me. Anon,
3 With thy righteousness and Spirit 468 601, 603, 844.
I am more than angels blessed 1 Take my heart, Father, take it
Heir with thee, all things inherit, Make and keep thine own
it all
Peace and joy, and endless rest: Let thy Spirit melt and break it,
Saved the deed shall spread new glory
!
This proud heart of sin and stone.
Through the shining realms above ; Father, make it pure and lowly,
Angels sing the pleasing story, Fond of peace and far from strife,
All enraptured with thy love. Turning from the paths unholy,
Daniel Turner.
Of this vain and sinful life.
467 132, 601, 635.
2 Ever let thy grace surround it,
Ye who know your sins forgiven,
Strengthen it with power divine
And are happy in the Lord,
Till thy cords of love have bound it,
Have you read that gracious promise Make it to be wholly thine.
Which is left us in his word ? May the blood of Jesus heal it,
I will sprinkle you with water,
And its sins be all forgiven
I will cleanse you from all sin,
Holy Spirit, take and seal it,
Sanctify and make you holy,
Guide it in the path to heaven.
I will dwell and reign within. Anon.

Since the favor divine 1 Thou that hearest the prayer of faith.
I received through the blood of the Lamb Wilt thou not save a soul from death
Since my heart first believed,
That casts itself on thee ?
What a joy I've received, I have no refuge of my own,
What a heaven in Jesus' dear name !
But fly to what my Lord hath done,
*
And suffered once for me.
'Tis a heaven below
My Redeemer to know 2 Slain in the guilty sinner's stead,
And the angels can do nothing more His spotless righteousness I plead,
Than to fall at his feet, And his availing blood
And the story repeat, That righteousness my robe shall be,
And the Lover of sinners adore. That merit shall atone for me,
And bring me near to God.
Jesus all the day long
Is my joy and my song 3 Then save me from the second death,

that all to this refuge might fly !


The Spirit of adoption breathe,

He hath loved me, indeed, His consolations send


He did suffer and bleed, By him some word of life impart,
To redeem such a rebel as I.
And sweetly whisper to my heart,
" Thy Maker is thy friend."
On the wings of his love, 4 Now, Lord, I would be thine alone
I am carried above
Come, take possession of thine own
All my sin, and temptation, and pain ;
For thou hast set me free
0, that all would believe, Released from Satan's hard command,
And by sin never grieve, See all my powers in waiting stand,
And thus cause him to suffer again. To be employed by thee.

Forever to behold thy face,
Glory and praise to Jesus give
And worship at thy feet, For his redeeming grace.
2 In thy pavilion to abide 2 What troubles have we seen,
When storms of trouble blow, What conflicts have we passed,
And in thy tabernacle hide, Fightings without, and fears within,
Secure from every foe.
Since we assembled last
3 " Seek ye my face !
" Without delay, 3 But out of all, the Lord
When thus I hear thee speak, Hath brought us by his love
My heart would leap for joy, and say, And still his help he doth afford,
Thy face, Lord, will I

4 Then leave me not when griefs assail, 4 Let us take up the cross
And earthly comforts flee Till we the crown obtain
When father, mother, kindred fail, And gladly reckon all things loss,
My God, remember me So we may Jesus gain.

2 From thee that I no more may part, 2 The shield of faith repels the dart

No more thy goodness grieve, That Satan's hand may throw


The filial awe, the fleshly heart, His arrow cannot reach thy heart
The tender conscience, give. If Christ control the bow.
Quick as the apple of an eye, The glowing lamp of prayer will light

God, my conscience make Thee on thy anxious road


Awake my soul when sin is nigh, 'Twill keep the goal of heaven in sight,

And keep it still awake. And guide thee to thy God.


Anon.
3 If to the right or left I stray,
4oO 83, 992.
That moment, Lord, reprove 1 There is an hour of hallowed peace
And let me weep my life away For those with cares oppressed,
For having grieved thy love. When sighs and sorrowing tears shall cease,
0, may the least omission pain And all be hushed to rest.
My well-instructed soul 'Tis then the soul is freed from fears
And drive me to the blood again And doubts which here annoy
Which makes the wounded whole. Then they that oft have sown in tears
Charles Wesley.
Shall reap again in joy.
4o7 83, 450.
1 SPEED thee, Christian,on thy way, 2 There is a home of sweet repose,

And to thy armor cling Where storms assail no more


With girded loins the call obey The stream of endless pleasure flows
That grace and mercy bring. On that celestial shore.
There is a battle to be fought, There purity and love appear,
An upward race to run, And bliss without alloy
A crown of glory to be sought, There they that oft had sown in tears
A victory to be won. Shall reap again in joy.
William B. Tappan.

Be lost in love profound
While all the naming harpers
From every kind of dross.
I see the fiery furnace,
Begin the lasting song,
With hallelujahs rolling And feel its cleansing flame
The fruit of it is holy,
From the unnumbered throng.
The gold will still remain.

2 We'll gird our loins, my brethren dear, 2 He's now upon his Father's throne,
Our distant home discerning ;
Almighty to release us
Our absent Lord has left us word, From sin and pain, he gladly reigns,
Let every lamp be burning. The Prince and Saviour, Jesus.
3 Should coming days be cold and dark,
We need not cease our singing 4t/b [Tune, Contrast, No. 605.] 8s. d
That perfect rest naught can molest, 1 Thou Shepherd of Israel, and mine,
Where golden harps are ringing. The joy and desire of my heart,
4 Let sorrow's rudest tempests blow, For closer communion I pine,

Each cord on earth to sever, I long to reside where thou art


Our King says, Come, and there's our home, The pasture I languish to find,
Where all who their Shepherd obey,
Forever, 0, forever
David Nelson. Are fed, on thy bosom reclined,
497 And screened from the heat of the day.

1 There is no name so sweet on earth,


No name so sweet in heaven, 2 'Tis there, with the lambs of thy flock,
The name before his wondrous birth There only, I covet to rest
To Christ, the Saviour, given. To lie at the foot of the rock,
Chorus. Or rise to be hid in thy breast
We love to sing around our King, 'Tis there I would always abide,

And hai 1 him blessed Jesus; And never a moment depart,


For there's no word ear ever heard, Concealed in the cleft of thy side,
So dear, so sweet as " Jesus." Eternally held in thy heart.
Charles Wesley.

Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days

Human hearts and looks deceive me

Far from mortal cares retreating,

Sordid hopes and vain desires,
If that love be hid from me.
Here, our willing footsteps meeting,
3 Soul, then know thy full salvation Every heart to heaven aspires.
Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care
From the Fount of glory beaming,
Light celestial cheers our eyes
Joy to find in every station
'Tis the grace of pardon streaming
Something still to do or bear.
Think what Spirit dwells within thee From the portals of the skies.
Think what Father's smiles are thine ;
2 Who may share this great salvation ?
Think that Jesus died to win thee ;
Every pure and humble mind,
Child of Heaven, canst thou repine ? Every kindred, tongue, and nation,
From the stains of guilt refined.
4 Haste thee on from grace to glory, Blessings all around bestowing,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer God withholds his care from none ;

Heaven's eternal day's before thee Grace and truth are ever flowing
God's own hand shall guide thee there. From the fountain of his throne.

2 Guide us in the path to heaven, 1 Vain are all terrestrial pleasures,
Rugged though that path may be ;
Mixed with dross the purest gold ;

Let each cup that's given,


bitter Seek we then for heavenly treasures
Serve to draw us nearer thee. Treasures never waxing old.

In thy footsteps traced before us, Let our best affections center
There we see earth's scorn and frown On the things around the throne
There is suffering ere the glory, There no thief can ever enter
There's a cross before the crown. Moth and rust are there unknown.

3 In thy vineyard let us labor, 2 Earthly joys no longer please us


Of thy goodness let us tell Here we would renounce them all
All is ill without thy favor, Seek our only rest in Jesus
With thy presence all is well. Him our Lord and Master call.
While the evening shadows gather, Faith, our languid spirits cheering,
Through this dreary night of tears, Points to brighter worlds above
Tarry with us, our Saviour, Bids us look for his appearing,
Till the morning light appears. Bids us triumph in his love.

4 Then with thee may we forever 3 May our light be always burning,
Reign with all the good and blest, And our loins be girded round,
Where no sin from thee can sever, Waiting for our Lord's returning
Where the weary are at rest Longing for the welcome sound.
There to praise the matchless Giver. Thus the Christian life adorning,
There with angels to adore Never need we be afraid,
Him who did through grace deliver Should he come at night or morning,
TJs from death forevermore. Early dawn or evening shade.

2 There a place where Jesus sheds


is
4 When Moses stood with arms spread wide,
The oil of gladness on our heads, Success was found on Israel's side
A place than all besides more sweet
But when, through weariness, they failed,
It is the blood-bought mercy-seat.
That moment Amalek prevailed.
5 Have you no words ? Ah think again !

3 There is a scene where spirits blend,


Words flow apace when you complain,
Where friend holds fellowship with friend And fill your fellow-creatures' ears
Though sundered far, by faith they meet
With the sad tale of all your cares.
Around one common mercy-seat.
6 Were half the breath thus vainly spent,
4 There, on angel's wings we soar,
there, To heaven in supplication sent,
And earthly cares molest no more, Your cheerful song would offcener be,
And heayen comes down our souls to greet, "Hear what the Lord hath done for me !"

And glory crowns the mercy-seat. William Cawper.

5 Ah whither should we flee for aid,


!
51b 471, 431, 104.

When tempted, desolate, dismayed ? 1 Prayer appointed to convey


is

Or how the hosts of sin defeat, The blessings God designs to give ;

Had suffering saints no mercy-seat ?


Long as they live should Christians pray
Hugh Stcrwell. They learn to pray when first they live
515 2 If pains afflict, or wrongs oppress,
624, 223, 876.
1 What various hindrances we meet
If cares distract, or fears dismay,
In coming to the mercy-seat If guilt dejects, if sins distress.
Yet who that knows the worth of prayer In every case still watch and pray.
But wishes to be often there? 3 'Tis prayer supports the soul that's weak,
2 Prayer makes the darkest cloud withdraw Though thought be broken, language
Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw, lame
Gives exercise to faith and love, Pray, if thou canst or canst not speak,
Brings every blessing from above. But pray with faith, in Jesus' name.
I? Restraining prayer, we cease to fight 4 Depend on him thou Canst not fail
;

Prayer makes the Christian's armor bright Make all thy wants and wishes known
And Satan trembles when he sees Fear not his merits must prevail
; 1

The weakest saint upon his knees. Ask but in faith, it shall be done.

2 God our griefs
pities all
1 Jesus, who knows full well
He pardons every day The heart of every saint,
Almighty to protect our souls, Invites us our grief to tell
all
And wise to guide our way. To pray, and never faint.
3 How large his bounties are !
2 He bows his gracious ear,
What various stores of good, Wenever plead in vain
Diffused from our Redeemer's hand, Then let us wait till he appear,
And purchased with his blood !
And pray, and pray again.
4 Jesus, our living Head, 3 Jesus, the Lord, will hear
We bless thy faithful care His chosen when they cry
Our Advocate before the throne, Yes, though he may a while forbear,
And our Forerunner there. He '11 help them from on high.
5 Here fix, my roving heart 4 Then let us earnest cry,
Here wait, my
warmest love !
And never faint in prayer
Till the communion be complete, He sees, he hears, and, from on high,
In nobler scenes above. Will make our cause his care.

The promise calls me near Breaks on the morning air
There Jesus shows a smiling face, Before the world with smoke is dim,
And waits my prayer to hear. Wekneel and offer prayer.
2 That rich atoning blood, 2 While flowers are wet with dews,
Which sprinkled round I see, Dew of our souls descend
Provides for those who come to God Ere yet the sun the day renews,
An all-prevailing plea. Lord, thy Spirit send.
3 My soul !'
ask what thou wilt 3 Upon the battle-field,
Thou canst not be too bold Before the fight begins,
Since his own blood for thee he spilt, We seek, Lord, thy sheltering shield,
What else can he withhold ? To guard us from our sins.
4 Thine image, Lord, bestow, 4 (ju the lone mountain side,
Thy presence and thy love Before the morning's light,
I ask to serve thee here below, The Man of sorrows wept and cried,
And reign with thee above. And rose refreshed with might.
5 Teach me to live by faith ;
5 0, hear us, then, for we
Conform my will to thine Are very weak and frail
Let me victorious be in death, Wemake the Saviour's name our plea.
And then in glory shine. And surely must prevail.

2 Blest is that tranquil hour of morn, No words can what sweet relief

And blest that solemn hour of eve, Here for my every want I find
When, on the wings of prayer upborne, What strength for warfare, balm for grief;
The world I leave. What peace of mind.
3 Then is my strength by thee renewed Lord, till I reach that blissful shore,
Then are my sins by thee forgiven No privilege so dear shall be,
Then dost thou cheer my solitude As thus my inmost soul to pour
With hopes of heaven. In prayer to thee.

2 Much of my time has run to waste, 1 My opening eyes with rapture see
And I, perhaps, am near my home The light of thy returning day
But he forgives my follies past, My thoughts, O God, ascend to thee
And gives me strength for days to come. While thus my early vows I pay.
3 I lay my body down to sleep
2 I yield my heart to thee alone,
Peace the pillow for my head
is
Nor would receive another guest
While well-appointed angels keep Eternal King, erect thy throne,
Their watchful stations round my bed. And reign sole monarch in my breast.
4 Thus if the night of death should come,
3 O, bid this trifling world retire,
My beneath the ground,
flesh shall rest
And drive each carnal thought
away
And wait thy voice to break my tomb, Nor let me feel one vain desire,
With sweet salvation in the sound. One sinful thought, through all the day.

3 Lord, thy commands are clean and pure, 2 All hallowed be our walk this day
Enlightening our beclouded eyes May meekness form our morning ray,
Thy threatenings just, thy promise sure ;
And faithful love our noontide light,
Thy gospel makes the simple wise. And hope our sunset, calm and bright.
4 Give me thy counsels for my guide, 3 May grace each idle thought control,
And then receive me to thy bliss And sanctify each wayward soul
All my desires and hopes beside May guile depart, and malice cease,
Are faint and cold compared with this. And all within be joy and peace.

Presenting at his Father's throne Once more, my voice, thy tribute pay
Our songs and our complaints. To Him who rules on high.

Make every path of duty straight Wide as the heavens on which he sits
And plain before my face. To turn the seasons round.

And guide my future days And joyfulwalk therein

3 Uphold us with thy mighty hand 2 Happy the home where Jesus' name

And bow our souls to thy command, Where children early lisp his fame,
Nor let our faith be vain. And parents hold him dear.

4 Prisoners of hope, we wait the hour 3 Happy the home where prayer is heard,
Which shall salvation bring And praise is wont to rise

With songs of praise to God, Of each revolving year
Who pardons all our guilt and sin, How swift the weeks complete their round
Through Jesus' precious blood. How short the months appear
3 Now in this tranquil hour we lay 2 So fast eternity comes on,
All worldly cares aside, And that important day
And hallow God's most holy day, When all that mortal life hath done
Though friends or foes may chide. God's judgment shall survey.
4 'T is not to seek the world's applause 3 Awake, God, my careless heart
That we from labor rest Its great concerns to see,
We strive to keep God's holy laws, That I may act the Christian's part,
And he these moments blessed. And give the years to thee.

2 Lord, keep us safe this night, 1 The swift declining day,
Secure from all our fears How fast its moments fly I

May angels guard us while we sleep, While evening's broad and gloomy shade
Till morning light appears. Grains on the western sky.
3 And if we early rise, 2 Ye mortals, mark its pace,
And view the unwearied sun, And use the hours of light
May we set out to win the prize, And know, its Maker can command
And after glory run. At once death's silent night.
4 And when our days are past, 3 Give glory to the Lord,
And we from time remove, Who rules the whirling sphere
0, may we in thy bosom rest Submissive at his footstool bow,
The bosom of thy love. And seek salvation there.
John Leland.
4 Then shall new luster break
555 688, 810, 266.

2 Thus would my rising soul 1 We our hearts to thee,


lift

Its heavenly Parent sing, Day-star from on high 1

And to its great original The sun itself is but thy shade,
The humble tribute bring. Yet cheers both earth and sky.
3 Serene I laid me down 2 thy rising beams
let
Beneath his guardian care ;
The night of sin disperse,
I slept, and I awoke, and found The mists of error and of vice
My kind Preserver near. Which shade the universe.

4 My life I would anew 3 How beauteous nature now 1

Devote, Lord, to thee How dark and sad before I

And in thy kingdom I would spend With joy we view the pleasing change,
A bright eternity. And nature's Gfod adore.

2 Give me a will to thine subdued, 3 Call me away from flesh and sense
A conscience pure, a soul renewed ;

Nor let me, wrapt in endless gloom, I would obey the voice divine,
An outcast from thy presence roam. And all inferior joys resign.

My inmost soul be made My captive powers from sin and death,


to share,
Till every grace combine to prove And fill my heart and life with praise,
That God has fixed his dwelling there. And tune my last expiring breath.
Philip Doddridge.
4 Take, then, Lord, this heart of mine,
574 431, 314, 136.
My my joy, my care
grateful love,
1 thou that hearest when sinners cry,
Though all my crimes before thee lie,
No longer dead to things divine,
With thee my best affections are.
Behold me not with angry look, Anne Steele.
But blot their memory from thy book.
576 136, 624, 61.
2 Create my nature pure within, 1 When, gracious Lord, when shall it be
And form my soul averse to sin ; That I shall find my all in thee ?
Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart, The fullness of thy promise prove,
Nor hide thy presence from my heart. The seal of thine eternal love ?

3 I cannot live without thy light, 2 Ah wherefore did I ever doubt ?


!

Cast out and banished from thy sight Thou wilt in no wise cast me out,
Thy holy joys, my God, restore, A helpless soul that comes to thee
And guard me, that I fall no more. With only sin and misery.
4 Though I have grieved thy Spirit, Lord, 3 Lord, I am blind be thou my sight ;

His help and comfort still afford Lord, I am weak be thou my might ;

And let a sinner seek thy throne helper of the helpless be, A
To plead the merits of thy Son. And let me find my all in thee.
Isaac Watts. Charles Wesley.

2 Return, holy Dove ! return,
4 As dew upon the tender herb,
Diffusing fragrance round
Sweet Messenger of rest
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
As showers that usher in the spring,
And drove thee from my breast. And cheer the thirsty ground ;
5 So shall his presence bless our souls,
3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed
And shed a joyful light
How sweet their memory still That hallowed morn shall chase away
But they have left an aching void The sorrows of the night.
The world can never fill. John Morrison.
4 The dearest idol I have known, OOt> 639, 1075, 117.

Whate'er that idol be, 1 Sweet was the time when first I felt
Help me to tear it from thy throne, The Saviour's pardoning blood
And worship only thee. Applied to cleanse my soul from guilt,
5 So shall my walk be
with God,close
And bring me home to God.
Calm and serenemy frame 2 Soon as the morn the light revealed,
So purer light shall mark the road His praises tuned my tongue
That leads me to the Lamb. And when the evening shades prevailed,
Wm. Cowper,
His love was all my song.
5o U 322, 895, 227.
1 Come, let us to the Lord our God
3 In prayer my soul drew near the Lord,
And saw his glory shine
With contrite hearts return
And when I read his holy word,
Our Gfod is gracious, nor will leave
I called each promise mine.
The desolate to mourn.
4 But now, when evening shade prevails,
2 His voice commands the tempest forth,
And stills the stormy wave; My soul in darkness mourns
His arm, though it be strong to smite,
And when the morn the light reveals,
Is also strong to save.
No light to me returns.

3 Our hearts, if God we seek to know,


5 Rise, Lord, and help me to prevail
make my soul thy care
know him and rejoice
Shall
I know thy mercy cannot fail
His coming like the morn shall be,
Like morning songs his
Let me that mercy share.

2 I delivered thee when bound, 3 Foolish fears and fond desires,

Fill me with thy fullness, Lord, Love me freely, seal my peace,

OUU 794, 869, 446. 2 He hides himself so wondrously,
1 Am I a soldier of the cross, As though there were no God ;

A follower of the Lamb ? He is least seen when all the powers


And shall I fear to own his cause ? Of ill are most abroad
Or blush to speak his name ?
3 Or he deserts us in the hour
2 Must I be carried to the skies The fight is all but lost,
On flowery beds of ease, And seems to leave us to ourselves
Whilst others fought to win the prize, Just when we need him most.
And sailed through bloody seas ?
4 It is not so, but so it looks
3 Are there no foes for me to face ? And we lose courage then
Must I not stem the flood ? And doubts will come though God hath
Is this vile world a friend of grace, kept
To help me on to God ? His promises to men.
4 Sure I must fight if I would reign 5 But right is right, since God is God ;

Increase my courage, Lord And right the day must win


I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, To doubt would be disloyalty,
Supported by thy word. To falter would be sin

Grasp the sword with firmer hand March in heavenly armor clad
Once again the word of God Fight, nor think the battle long,
Clears the path the martyrs trod Soon shall victory tune your song.
4 Truth ! trusty weapon strong 3 Let not sorrow dim your eye
Theme for an immortal song Soon shall every tear be dry
Satan's trembling hosts declare Let not fears your course impede
This is mighty, joined with prayer. Great your strength if great your need

2 In the world a thousand snares When the wily tempter 's near,
Lie to take us unawares Filling us with doubt and fear,
Satan, with malicious art, Jesus, to thy cross we flee
Watches each unguarded heart Jesus, we will look to thee.
But from Satan's malice free,
Saints will soon victorious be 2 Thou, our Saviour, from the throne,
Soon the joyful news will come, List'nest to thy people's moan
" Child, your Father calls; come home." Thou, the living Head, dost share
3 But of all the foes we meet, Every pang thy members bear.
None so apt to turn our feet, Full of tenderness thou art
None betray us into sin, Thou wilt heal the broken heart
Like the foes we have within Full of power, thine arm shall quell
Yet let nothing spoil your peace, All the rage and might of hell.
Christ will also conquer these
Then the joyful news will come, 3 Mighty to redeem and save,
" Child, your Father calls; come home." Thou hast overcome the grave
yoseph Swain. Thou the bars of death hast riven,
OlU 771, 828. Opened wide the gates of heaven.
1 When, along life's thorny road, Soon in glory thou shalt come,
Faints the soul beneath the load Taking thy poor pilgrims home
When, by cares and sins oppressed, Jesus, then we all shall be,
Earth affords no peace or rest Ever, ever, Lord, with thee.

2 Here fierce temptations beset me around


1 Joyfully, joyfully, onward I move,
Here is no rest, is no rest Bound for the land of bright glory above
Here I am grieved while my foes me
Angelic choristers sing as I come,
surround " Joyfully, joyfully, haste to thy home."
Yet I am blest, I am blest.
Soon shall I pass from this dark vale of woe,
Let them me, and scoff at my name,
revile
Home to the land of the righteous I '11 go
Laugh at my weeping —
endeavor to shame
Pilgrim and stranger, no more shall I roam,
I will go forward, for this is my theme,
Joyfully, joyfully, resting at home.
There, there is rest, there is rest.
2 Friends fondly cherished, now sleep in the
ground,
3 Here are afflictions and trials severe
But they '11 awake when the last trump
Here is no rest, is no rest
shall sound,
Here I must part with the friends I hold
Loosed from death's fetters, and upward
dear
we '11 soar,
Yet I am blest, I am blest.
Joyfully meeting to part nevermore.
Sweet is the promise I read in his word,
Sounds of sweet melody fall on the ear
Blessed are they who have died in the Lord
Harps of the blessed, your voices I '11 hear
They will be called to receive their reward
Filling with harmony heaven's high dome,
Then there is rest, there is rest. " Joyfully, joyfully, haste to thy home."

4 This world of cares is a wilderness 3 Death with his weapons of war has laid low
state,

Here is no rest, is no rest Many a pilgrim who feared not the blow
Here I must bear from the world all its Jesus has broken the bars of the tomb
bate, Joyfully, joyfully, will they come home.

Yet I am blest, I am blest. Bright will the morn of eternity dawn,


Soon shall I be from the wicked released, Death shall be banished, his scepter be
Soon shall the weary forever be blest, gone
Soon shall I lean upon Jesus' breast Joyfully, then, shall I witness his doom,
Then there is rest, there is rest. Joyfully, joyfully, safely at home.

The precepts of the gospel are, Ot)4 223, 104, 343.
And God himself, the God of love, 1 When Jesus dwelt in mortal clay,
His own resemblance will approve. What were his works, from day to day,
Benjamin Beddome. But miracles of power and grace
\)oJ!i 223, 431, 23. That spread salvation through our race ?
1 Weaned from
this earth I fain would be. 2 Teach us, Lord, to keep in view
Of sin, of all but Thee
of self, Thy pattern, and thy steps pursue
;

Reserved for Christ who bled and died, Let alms bestowed, let kindness done,
Surrendered to the Crucified. Be witnessed by each rolling sun.
2 Securely hid from sin and strife, 3 That man may last, but never lives,
The lust, the pomp, the pride of life Who much receives, but nothing gives ;

Prepared for heaven my noblest care ;


Whom none canlove, whom none can thank,
To have my conversation there. Creation's blot, creation's blank !

3 Nothing save Jesus would I know 4 But he who marks, from day to day,
My friend, and my companion, thou In generoufe acts his radiant way,
Constrain my soul thy sway to own Treads the same path his Saviour trod,
Self-will, self-righteousness dethrone. The path to glory and to God.

2 Walk in the light and thou ! shalt own 1 I 'm not ashamed to own my Lord,
Thy darkness passed away Nor to defend his cause,
Because that light on thee hath shone Maintain the honor of his word,
In which is perfect day. The glory of his cross.
3 Walk in the and e'en the tomb
light ! 2 Jesus, my Lord, I know his name
No wear
fearful shade shall His name is all my trust
Glory shall chase away its gloom, Nor will he put my soul to shame,
For Christ hath conquered there. Nor let my hope be lost.
4 Walk in the light ! and thine shall be 3 Firm as his throne his promise stands,
A path, though thorny, bright And he can well secure
For God, by grace, shall dwell in thee, What I 've committed to his hands
And God himself is light. Till the decisive hour.

Mortal, thou hast a nobler share Once I admired its trifles too,
Life, life, eternal life. But grace has set me free.
3 Like Abram hast thou faith to bear 2 Its joys can now no longer please,
The sacrificial knife ? Nor e'en content afford
Then with the faithful thou shalt share Far from my heart be joys like these,
Life, life, eternal life. For I have seen the Lord.
4 For love of God canst thou lay down 3 As by the light of opening day
Thy 'mid hottest strife ?
life The stars are all concealed,
Then thou hast won a starry crown So earthly pleasures fade away

2 Lord, I desire with thee to live 1 Saviour, may we never rest
Anew from day to day, Tillthou art formed within
In joys the world can never give, Till thou hast calmed our troubled breast,
Nor ever take away. And crushed the power of sin l

3 Blest Jesus, come, and rule my heart, 2 0, may we gaze upon thy cross,
And make me wholly thine, Until the wondrous sight

And earthly sorrows light
O40 179, 808, 943. 3 Until, released from carnal ties,

Lord, I appeal to thee.
4 There as we gaze may we become

1 Thy home is with the humble, Lord! 2 Give me a calm, a thankful heart,

Thy lodging is in child-like hearts The blessings of thy grace impart,
Thou makest there thy rest. And make me live to thee.
2 Dear Comforter eternal Love

If thou wilt stay with me ;
My life and death attend
Of lowly thoughts and simple ways, Thy presence through my journey shine,

2 They of My fullness shall be fed, 4 A heart in every thought renewed,
For which they hungered sore
And filled with love divine !

Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,


And there, by living waters led,
Their souls shall thirst no more.
A copy, Lord, of thine !

3 Because I am the Truth, the Life, 5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart,
All fullness dwells in me Come quickly from above,
They know no want, no sin, no strife, Write thy new name upon my heart,
Through all eternity. Thy new, best name of love.

A heart from sin set free How keep the shining way,
A heart that's sprinkled with the blood And not more tremblingly adore,
So freely shed for me And not more humbly pray ?
2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek, 4 The more I triumph in thy gifts,
My dear Redeemer's throne The more I wait on thee,
Where only Christ is heard to speak, The grace that mightily uplifts
Where Jesus reigns alone Most sweetly humbleth me.
5 The heaven where I would stand complete
3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart, My lowly love shall see,
Believing, true, and clean,
Which neither life nor death can part
And stronger grow the yearning sweet,

FromHim that dwells within.


My blessed Lord, for thee.

2 Lo, such the child whose early feet 2 Yes, let it go one look from thee ;

The paths of peace have trod, Will more than make amends
Whose secret heart, with influence sweet, For all the losses I sustain
Is upward drawn to God. Of honor, riches, friends.
3 Dependent on thy bounteous breath,

We seek thy grace alone, How worthless they appear
In childhood, manhood, age, and death,
Compared with thee, supremely good,

From the deceitful paths of sin, And glory in my gain.
To seek redeeming grace. Benjamin Beddome.

2 Children our kind protection claim, 650 724, 396, 941.

And God will well approve How vain are all things here below
When infants learn to lisp his name, How false,
and yet how fair
And their Redeemer love. Each pleasure hath its poison too,
3 Be ours the bliss, in wisdom's way
And every sweet a snare.
To guide untutored youth, The brightest things below the sky
And show the mind which went astray Give but a flattering light
The Way, the Life, the Truth. We should suspect some danger nigh
4 Almighty God, thine influence shed, Where we possess delight.
To aid this blest design
Our dearest joys, and nearest friends,
The honors of thy name be spread,
The partners of our blood,
And all the glory thine.

And leave but half for God I

Daylight all gone, 1 Fade, fade, each earthly joy

Darkness be over me, Jesus is mine


My rest a stone Break, every tender tie

Yetmy dreams I'd be


in Jesus is mine.
Nearer, my God, to thee, Dark is the wilderness
Nearer, my God, to thee, Earth has no resting-place
Nearer to thee. Jesus alone can bless
Jesus is mine.
3 There let the way appear,
2 Tempt not my soul away
Steps up to heaven
Jesus is mine
All that thou sendest me,
Here would I ever stay
In mercy given
Jesus is mine.
Angels to beckon me
Perishing things of clay,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Born but for one brief day,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Pass from my heart away
Nearer to thee.
Jesus is mine.
4 Then, with my waking thoughts 3 Farewell, ye dreams of night
Bright with thy praise, Jesus is mine
Out of my stony griefs
Lost in this dawning bright,
Bethel I'll raise
Jesus is mine.
So by my woes to be All that my soul has tried
Nearer, my God, to thee, Left but a dismal void
Nearer, my God, to thee, Jesus has satisfied
Nearer to thee. Jesus is mine.
5 Or if, on joyful wing 4 Farewell, mortality
Cleaving the sky, Jesus is mine
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Hail immortality
!

Upward I fly, Jesus is mine.


Still all my song shall be, Welcome, loved and blest
Nearer, my God, to thee, Welcome, sweet scenes of rest
Nearer, my God, to thee, Welcome, my Saviour's breast
Nearer to thee Jesus is mine 1

2 And one I saw, with sword and shield, 668 618, 749,

Who boldly braved the world's cold Away, my unbelieving fear


frown, Fear shall in me no more have place

And fought, unyielding, on the field, My Saviour doth not yet appear,
To win an everlasting crown. He hides the brightness of his face
Though worn with toil, oppressed by foes, But shall I therefore let him go,
No murmur from his heart arose And basely to the tempter yield ?
I asked what buoyed his spirits up, No, in the strength of Jesus, no
" —
O this " said he " the blessed hope."
!
I never will give up my shield.

3 And there was one who left behind Although the vine its fruit deny,
The
cherished friends of early years, Although the olive yield no oil,
And honor, pleasure, wealth resigned, The withering fig-trees droop and die,
To tread the path bedewed with tears. The fields elude the tiller's toil,
Through trials deep and conflicts sore, The empty stall no herd afford,
Yet still a smile of joy he wore And perish all the bleating race ;

I asked what buoyed his spirits up, Yet I will triumph in the Lord,
" this !
" said he—" the blessed hope." The God of my salvation praise.

4 While pilgrims here we journey on Barren although my soul remain,


In this dark vale of and gloom,
sin And not one bud of grace appear,
Through tribulation, hate, and scorn, No fruit of all my toil and pain,
Or throughthe portals of the tomb, But sin and only sin is here
Tillour returning King shall come Although my gifts and comforts lost,
To take his exile captives home, My blooming hopes cut off I see,
what can buoy the spirits up ?
! Yet will I in my Saviour trust,
'Tis this alone —the blessed hope.
Annie R. Smith.
And glory that he died for me.

2 There, joys unseen by mortal eyee,
5 Onwings of love the Saviour flew,
Or reason's feeble ray,
Tobless a ruined race

In ever-blooming prospect rise,


We would, Lord, thy steps pursue,
Exposed to no decay. Thy bright example trace.
Jfkilip Doddridge.

3 Lord, send a beam of light divine, 071 201, 147, 369.


To guide our upward aim 1 'Tis faith that purifies the heart
With one reviving look of thine, 'Tis faith that works by love,
Our languid hearts inflame. That bids all sinful joys depart,
4 then, on faith's sublimest wing, And lifts the thoughts above.
Our ardent souls shall rise, 2 Faith shows the promise fully sealed
To those bright scenes where pleasures With our Redeemer's blood ;

spring It helps our feeble hope to rest


Immortal in the skies.
Upon a faithful God.
Anne Steele.

3 This faith shall every fear control


670 175, 546, 798.

1 Father of mercies, send thy grace,


By its celestial power,
All-powerful from above,
With holy triumph fill the soul
In strong temptation's hour.
To form in our obedient souls Anon.
The image of thy love.
672 779, 201, 204.
2 may our sympathizing breasts 1 Think gently of the erring one,
That generous pleasure know, And us not forget,
let
Kindly to share in others' joy, However darkly stained by sin,
And weep for others' woe. He is our brother yet.
3 When poor and helpless sons of grief 2 Heir of the same inheritance,
In deep distress are laid, Child of the self-same God
Soft be our hearts their pains to feel, He hath but stumbled in the path
And swift our hands to aid. We have in weakness trod.
4 So Jesus looked on dying man, 3 Forget not thou hast often sinned,
When, throned above the skies, And sinful yet must be :

And in the Father's bosom blest, Deal gently with the erring one,
He felt compassion rise. As God has dealt with thee.
Mrs. Fletcher.

2 That hope the sovereign Lord has given 1 Lord, I believe thy power I own ;

Who reigns above the skies Thy word I would obey


Hope that unites the soul to heaven I wander comfortless and lone,
By faith's endearing ties. When from thy truth I stray.
3 Each care, each ill of mortal birth, 2 Lord, I believe but gloomy fears ;

Is sent in pitying love, Sometimes bedim my sight


To lift the lingering heart from earth, I look to thee with prayers and tears,
And speed its flight above. And cry for strength and light.
4 And every pang that wrings the breast, 3 Lord, I believe ; but oft, I know,
And every joy that dies, My faith is cold and weak
Bids us to seek a purer rest, My weakness strengthen, and bestow
And trust to holier ties. The confidence I seek.
James Montgomery.
4 Lord, I believe and only thou
0«4 889, 696, 446.
Canst give my soul relief;
;

1 Happy the heart where graces reign,


Lord, to thy truth my spirit bow
Where love inspires the breast " Help thou mine unbelief."
;

Love is the brightest of the train, John Wreford.


And strengthens all the rest.
I 201, 724, S08.
2 Knowledge — alas ! 'tis all in vain, 1 Faith adds new charms to earthly bliss,
And all in vain our fear And saves us from its snares
Our stubborn sins will fight and reign, Its aid, in every duty brings,
If love be absent there. And softens all our cares.

3 This is the grace that lives and sings 2 Wide it unvails celestial worlds,
When faith and hope shall cease Where deathless pleasures reign
'Tis this shall strike our joyful strings And bids us seek our portion there,
In the sweet realms of bliss. Nor bids us seek in vain.
4 Before we quite forsake our clay, 3 It shows the precious promise sealed
Or leave this dark abode, With the Redeemer's blood,
The wings of love bear us away, And helps our feeble hope to rest
To see our smiling Grod. Upon a faithful God.

gift of gifts ! grace of faith!
Where saints with. Christ will reign ;
My Glod, how can it be
Where we shall meet the loved of earth, That thou, who hast discerning love,
And never part again,
Shouldst give that gift to me ?
'6 A land where sin can never come, How many hearts thou mightst have had
Temptations ne'er annoy.
More innocent than mine
Where happiness will ever dwell,
How many souls more worthy far
And that without alloy. Of that sweet touch of thine !

5 In that bright world no tears will flow, The crowd of cares, the weightiest cross,
Death ne'er can enter there Seem trifles less than light
For all who gain that heavenly land Earth looks so little and so low
Will be as angels are. When faith shines full and bright.

2 Faith the vail before our eyes,
lifts And cast their crowns at Jesus' feet
And bids us view a happier clime, His matchless love and grace adore,
Where verdant fields in beauty rise, And never taste of sorrow more.
Beyond the withering blasts of time Then let us hope 'tis not in vain
;

And brings the blissful moment near, Though moistened by our grief the soil,
When we in glory shall appear. The harvest brings us joy for pain,
3 What glory then shall fill the soul, The rest repays the weary toil
When
parted friends again shall meet, For they shall reap, who sow in tears,
Beyond the reach of death's control, Kich gladness through eternal years.

That the soul above,

Upon thy sheltering breast,
Dispels the painful, anxious doubt, 'Mid raging storms exults to find
And whispers, " God is love." An everlasting rest.

Proclaims the soul forgiven Whene'er thy face appears
That star is revelation's light, It stills the sighing orphan's moan,

Do thou my wishes fill
Hung on the brow of heaven, What though created streams are dry?

The pledge of mercy given 6 Stripped of each earthly friend,


3 The Faith that works by love,
I find them all in one
And purifies the heart,
And peace and joy which never end,
A foretaste of the joys above And heaven, in thee alone.
To mortals can impart 7 Here, then, I doubt no more,
4 It guides us far from strife, But in his pleasure rest
Where'er our footsteps roam, Whose wisdom, love, and truth, and
And promises eternal life power,
When we have reached our home. Engage to make me blest.

Joy cometh with the morning light To be the sons and heirs of heaven
Joy cometh of celestial birth, Sons of the God who reigns on high,
Unsullied by the blight of earth. And heirs of joy beyond the sky.
2 Joy comes each faithful heart to thrill, 3 He teaches their young feet the way,
That fears of change no more will chill And early leads thesn to obey
Transporting joy, that fills the soul Whispers instruction to their minds,
While everlasting ages roll.
And on their hearts his precepts binds.
3 Then, mourning pilgrim, upward gaze 4 Their daily wants his hands supply,
Beyond this dark and thorny maze Their steps he guards with watchful eye
A joy for every tear is found, Leads them from earth to heaven above,
A healing balm for every wound. And crowns them with eternal love.

sorrow leave to flow,
Yet God, my God, forgets me not
And anxious fear and dark distrust And he is safe and must succeed
Weigh down my spirits to the dust For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead.

2 My grace its glories shall display, 1 When waves of trouble round me swell,
And make your griefs remove ; My soul is not dismayed
Your weakness shall the triumphs tell I hear a voice I know full well,
Of boundless power and love. "'Tis I ; be not afraid."

3 thou, my Saviour and my Lord, 2 When black the threatening skies appear,
'Tisgood to trust thy name And storms my path invade,
Thy power, thy faithfulness and love, Those accents tranquilize each fear,
"Will ever be the same. "'Tis I; be not afraid."
4 Weak as I am, yet through thy grace 3 There is a gulf that must be crossed
I all things can perform, Saviour, be near to aid
And, smiling, triumph in thy name Whisper, when my frail bark is tossed,—
Amid the raging storm. "'Tis I; be not afraid."

As winter's frost but makes the trees Sweet on his covenant of grace
Abound in summer fruit For all things to depend ;

2 Thou who hast trod the thorny road 1 From lips divine, like healing balm
Wilt share each small distress To hearts oppressed and torn,
The love which bore the greater load The heavenly consolation fell,
Will not refuse the less. " Blessed are they that mourn."
3 There no secret sigh we breathe
is 2 Unto the hopes by sorrow crushed
But meets thine ear divine, A noble faith succeeds ;

And every cross grows light beneath And life, by furrowed, bears
trials
The shadow, Lord, of thine. The fruit of loving deeds.

4 Life's without, sin's strife within,


ills 3 How rich, how sweet, how full of strength
The heart would overflow, Our human spirits are,
But for that love which died for sin, Baptized into the sanctities
That love which wept with woe. Of suffering and of prayer 1

And bliss his rod attends. We could not fly to thee
3 If he is mine, let friends forsake, 2 0, who would bear life's stormy doom,
Let wealth and honor flee Did not thy wing of love
Sure he who giveth me himself Come, brightly wafting through the gloom
Is more than these to me. Our peace-branch from above ?
4 0, tell me, Lord, that thou art mine 3 Each sorrow, touched by thee, grows bright
What can I wish beside ? With more than rapture's ray,
My soul shall at the fountain live, As darkness shows us worlds of light

2 Do sickness, feebleness, or pain, 3 If wounded love my bosom swell,
Or sorrow in our path appear? Deceived by those I prized too well,
The recollection will remain, He shall his pitying aid bestow
More deeply did he suffer here Who felt on earth severer woe,
His life, how truly sad and brief, At once betrayed, denied, or fled,
Filled up with suffering and with grief By those who shared his daily bread.
3 If Satan tempts our hearts to stray, 4 When sorrowing o'er some stone I bend
And
whispers evil things within Which covers what was once a friend,

So did he, in the desert way, And from his voice, his hand, his smile,

Assail our Lord with thoughts of sin, Divides me for a little while,
When worn, and in a feeble hour, Thou, Saviour, mark'st the tears I shed
The tempter came with all his power. For thou didst weep o'er Lazarus dead.
Robert Grant.
4 Just such as I, this earth he trod,
With every human ill but sin 70o 683, 234, 320.

And, though indeed the Son of God,


1 Be still, my heart ! these anxious cares

As I am now, so he has been


To thee are burdens, thorns, and snares ;

My God, my Saviour look on me


!
They cast dishonor on thy Lord,
With pity, love, and sympathy.
And contradict his gracious word
James Edmeston. Brought safely by his hand thus far,
i ( 234, 683, 320.
Why wilt thou now give place to fear ?

1 When gathering clouds around I view, 2 When first before his mercy-seat
And days are dark and friends are few, Thou didst to him thy all commit,

On Him I lean who not in vain He gave thee warrant from that hour
Experienced every human pain To trust his wisdom, love, and power :

He sees my wants, allays my fears, Did ever trouble yet befall

And counts and treasures up my tears. And he refuse to hear thy call ?
2 If aught should tempt my soul to stray 3 He who has helped thee hitherto,
From heavenly wisdom's narrow way, Will help thee all thy journey through ;

To fly the good I would pursue, Though rough and thorny be the road,

Or do the sin I would not do, It leads thee home, apace, to God ;

Still, He who felt temptation's power


Then count thy present trials small,
Shall guard me in that dangerous hour. For heaven will make amends for all.
John Newton.

Think of Jesus' love, 1 Christian, wherefore yield to sadness ?
Fix thy heart and hopes above
While to thee is given
All his grace to prove.
Look to Jesus, and with gladness
Trust his gracious, pardoning love.
Is thy burdened spirit Trials here will sorely press thee,
Agonized for sin ? Let thy trust on him be stayed
Think of Jesus' merit He will cheer, and guide, and bless thee,
He can make thee clean With his ever-present aid.
Think of Calvary's mountain, 2 Think how kind, how condescending !

Where his blood was spilt Jesus himself thy Friend


calls
In that precious fountain From his throne in glory bending,
Wash away thy guilt. He will every prayer attend.
Set the prize before thee He will never, never leave .thee,
Grird thy armor on Through thy pilgrim days below
Heir of grace and glory, Then, at last, he will receive thee,
Struggle for thy crown. And a crown of life bestow.

2 In thee I place my trust, 1 Thou Refuge of my soul,
On thee I calmly rest On thee, when sorrows rise,
I know thee good, I know thee just, On thee, when waves of trouble roll,
And count thy choice the best. My fainting hope relies.

3 Whate'er events betide, 2 To thee I tell my grief,


Thy will they all perform For thou alone canst heal
Safe in thy breast my head I hide, Thy word can bring a sweet relief
Nor fear the coming storm. For every pain I feel.
4 Let good or ill befall, 3 But 0, when doubts prevail,
It must be good for me, I fear to call thee mine
Secure of having thee in all, The springs of comfort seem to fail,
Of having all in thee. And all my hopes decline.
Henry F. Lyte.
4 Yet, Lord, where shall I flee ?
loo 810, 601, 762.
Thou art my only trust
1 GIive to the winds thy fears,
And still my soul would cleave to thee,
Hope and be undismayed ;
Though prostrate in the dust.
God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears, Anne Steele.

He shall lift up thy head.


7d5 384, 236, 668.
2 Through waves, and clouds, and storms, 1 In every trying hour
He gently clears thy way My soul to Jesus flies ;

Wait thou his time, so shall this night _ I trust in his almighty power
Soon end in joyous day. When swelling billows rise.

3 Leave to his sovereign sway 2 His comforts bear me up


To choose and command to I trust a faithful God ;
So shalt thou, wondering, own his way The sure foundation of my hope
How wise, how strong, his hand ! Is inmy Saviour's blood.
4 Far, far above thy thought 3 Loud hallelujahs sing
His counsel sh^Ii appear To our Redeemer's name
When fully h i the work hath wrought In joy or sorrow, life or death,
That caused thy needless fear. His love is still the same.

Be quiet every fear
Blest be the sorrow, kind the storm, Thy Father hath supreme control,
Which drives us nearer home. And he is ever near.

All yield to thy control Whatever may befall
Thy tender mercies shall illume Sickness or sorrow, care or pain,
The midnight of the soul. "Tis well appointed all.

To make thy will our own, Is leading thee along
And when the joys of sense depart, Nor distant is the promised land,

Though seen through many a tear, I would not if I might
Let not my star of hope Choose thou for me, my God,
Grow dimor disappear So shall I walk aright.
Since thou on earth hast wept,
And sorrowed oft alone, The kingdom that I seek
If I must weep with thee, Is thine ; so let the way

Else I must surely stray.

2 In holy contemplation In heavenly love abiding,
We sweetly then pursue No change my heart shall fear
The theme of God's salvation, And safe is such confiding,
And find it ever new For nothing changes here.
Set free from present sorrow, The storm may roar without me,
We cheerfully can say, My heart may
low be laid,
Let the unknown to-morrow But God round about me,
is
Bring with it what it may. And can I be dismayed?

3 Children of God lack nothing, Wherever he may guide me,


His promise bears them through No want shall turn me back
Who gives the lilies clothing, My Shepherd is beside me,
Will clothe his people too And -nothingcan I lack.
Beneath the spreading heavens His wisdom ever waketh,
No creature but is fed, « His sight is never dim,
And he who feeds the ravens He knows the way he taketh,
Will give his children bread. And I will walk with him.

4 Though vine nor fig-tree neither Green pastures are before me,
Their wonted fruit should bear, Which yet I have not seen
Though all the fields should wither, Bright skies will soon be o'er me,
Nor flocks nor herds be there Where darkest clouds have been.
Yet God the same abiding, My hope I cannot measure,
His praise shall tune my voice My path to life is free,
For while in him confiding, My Saviour has my treasure,
I cannot but rejoice. And he will walk with me.

Seeking for some great thing to do, And let the storm that does thy work

For Him on whom I wait. Almighty to restore
Borne onward, sin and death behind,

To none that ask denied, let my soul abound in hope,
Amind to blend with outward life And praise thee mope and more
While keeping at thy side
Content to fill a little space,

2 Thus to the Lord I raised my cry 1 Deign, Jesus, Lord, my soul to hide
He heard me from his holy hill Within thy pierced and bleeding side
At his command the waves rolled by give me in thy wounded heart
He beckoned, and the winds were still. My rest to find, nor thence depart.
3 I me down and slept, I woke
laid — ;
2 When Satan's wiles would work me harm,
Thou, Lord, my spirit didst sustain And earth with her delights would charm,
Bright, from the east, the morning broke Within thy heart I safely rest,
Thy comforts rose on me again. Within thy side secure and blest.
4 I will not fear, though armed throngs 3 When sense with every art beguiles,
Compass my steps in all their wrath And tempts me with her treacherous smiles.
Salvation to the Lord belongs 1 will not fear, since still for me
His presence guards his people's path. Thy side a refuge safe shall be.

Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom, Give me thy easy yoke to bear,
By waters still, o'er troubled sea, With steadfast patience arm my breast,
Still 't is his hand that leadeth me With spotless love and lowly fear.
Thankful I take the cup from thee,
3 Lord, I would clasp thy hand in mine, Prepared and mingled by thy skill
Nor ever murmur nor repine, Though bitter to the taste it be,
Content whatever lot I see, Powerful the wounded soul to heal.
Since 't is my God that leadeth me. Be thou, Rock ofAges, nigh !

So shall each murmuring thought be


4 And when my task on earth is done, gone,
When by thy grace the victory's won, And grief, and fear, and care shall fly,
E'en death's cold wave I will not flee, As clouds before the midday sun.

Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Weary and weak, thy grace we pray
Amid the verdant landscape flow. Turn not, Lord thy guests away.!

3 Though in the paths of death I tread, 2 Long have we roamed in want and pain,
With gloomy horrors overspread, Long have we sought thy rest in vain
My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, Burdened with doubt, in darkness lost,
For thou, Lord ! art with me still Long have our souls been tempest-tossed.
Thy friendly staff shall give me aid, Low at thy feet our sins we lay
And guide me through the dreadful shade. Turn not, Lord thy guests away.

His bosom bears it home. Thy righteous will to do.
Kind Shepherd of the sheep, 3 Help us thy truth to love,

Thirst to relieve, Jesus the branch hath rent
Manna from heaven falls Quickly relief hath sent,
Fresh every eve Sweetening the draught.
Never a want severe Saviour ! I long to walk
Causeth my eye a tear, Closer with thee
But thou dost whisper near, Led by thy guiding hand,
" Only believe " !

My soul each storm defies, And leave the world and sin behind.
Anon.

I'll trust thy faithfulness and power,
7oO \Tune, Webb, No. 833.] 7s & 6s.

To save me in the trying hour.


1 Lamb of God 1 still keep me
Near to thy wounded side
3 Though rocks and quicksands deep 'Tis only there in safety
Through all my passage lie, And peace I can abide !

Yet Christ will safely keep, What foes and snares surround me,
And guard me with his eye What doubts and fears within !

My anchor, hope, will firm ahide, The grace that sought and found me,
And every boisterous storm outride. Alone can keep me clean.

4 By faith I see the land, 2 'Tis only in thee hiding


The port of endless rest I know my life secure
Through grace I hope to stand Only in thee abiding,
And sing among the blest. The conflict can endure
may I reach the heavenly shore, Thine arm the victory gaineth
Where winds and waves distress no more. O'er every hateful foe
Thy love my heart sustaineth
5 Whene'er becalmed I lie, In all its care and woe.
When wind and storm subside,
Then to my succor fly,
3 Soon shall my eyes behold thee,

And keep me near thy side


With rapture, face to face
For more the treacherous calm I dread One half hath not been told me
Than tempests bursting o'er my head. Of all thy power and grace
Thy beauty, Lord, and glory,
6 Come, heavenly wind, and blow The wonders of thy love,
A prosperous gale of grace Shall be the endless story
Waft me from all below, ,
Of all the saints above.

2 Swift on the wings of time it flies 1 Hail, glorious day ! ere long to dawn,
Each moment brings it near . And set death's captives free
Then welcome each declining day, Triumphant then will they come forth
Welcome each closing year. With shouts of victory.
3 Not many years their round shall run, 2 And when my Saviour shall appear.
Not many mornings rise, If in the grave I lie,
Ere all its glories stand revealed The last loud trumpet I shall hear,
To our admiring eyes. And live, no more to die.

4 Ye wheels of nature, speed your course 3 It enough, although I close

Ye mortal powers, decay In death my weary eyes,


Haste till the last glad morning rise

That brings eternal day. And meet him in the skies.


Philip Doddridge. 4 And in that resurrection morn
7t/5 596, 201, 147. I shall his face behold
1 My soul is happy when I hear 'Tis then my Lord to me will give
The Saviour is so nigh, The starry crown of gold.
Mrs. M. S. Avery.
And longs to see his sign appear
Upon the opening sky. 797 696, 669, 175.

2 I love to wait, and watch, and pray,


Behold I come the Saviour ! cries,

And trust his living word, On wings of love I fly


And feel the coming of that day So come, dear Lord, my soul replies,

No longer is deferred. And bring salvation nigh.


Come, plead thy truth's much-injured
3 Then, waiting brethren, let us sing, cause,
He will not tarry long,
And make thy glory shine
And with joy the hours that bring
fill
Come, vindicate thy righteous laws
The glory of our song. With majesty divine.
4 Yes, he will come no longer fear,
; With winge'd speed, Redeemer, dear,
Though earth and hell assail Bring on the illustrious day
His word attests the moment near, Let not our hopes give way to fear
And that can never fail. Beneath thy long delay.

Till we shall see thy face.
From heaven's eternal spring.

We soon shall see the promised day

Help, Lord, to hear thy voice to-day For us it led thee once to die
Obedience is our life. From thence salvation flows.

1 Dear Saviour, here we fainting lie, 1 how I long with Christ to be,
And long to see thy face And in his presence rest
Descend, O Jesus, from on high, He draws my soul most wondrously
In mercy to our race. I to his bosom haste.
2 How long shall that bright hour delay ? 2 Me for thy coming, Lord, prepare
When will our Lord appear ? Grant I may ready be
We long to see the glorious day Whene'er thou comest, without fear
When Jesus will draw near. To meet and welcome thee.
3 We wait to see our Lord descend, 3 Meanwhile may I in spirit view
Arrayed in robes of light Thy sufferings, cross, and death
To Satan's kingdom put an end, These to my heart be daily new,
And claim his proper right. While thou shalt give me breath.
4 We long to hear the trumpet sound, 4 Thus will my wants be well supplied,
And see the just arise Thus will my soul with grace
We long to see our Saviour crowned, Abundantly be satisfied,
And meet him in the skies. And kept in heavenly peace.

2 I'd rise superior to my pain, 3 To Jesus Christ I sought for rest
With joy outstrip the wind He bade me cease to roam,
I 'd cross bold Jordan's stormy main, And fly for succor to his breast,
And leave the world behind. And he 'd conduct me home.
3 A few more days, or years at most, 4 When by affliction sharply tried,
My troubles will be o'er Faith tells of scenes to come,
I hope to join the heavenly host Those endless joys prepared above,
On Canaan's happy shore. And then I sigh for home.
4 My rapturous soul shall drink and feast 5 Weary of wandering round and round
In unbounded sea
love's This vale of sin and gloom,
The glorious hope of endless rest I long to leave the unhallowed ground,
Is ravishing to me. And dwell with Christ at home.

2 Long was to be her voyage the time, — What though the angry waves roll high,
Six thousand years almost, And darkness reigns around ?
Ere she would make the highland hights, Let hope be bright in every eye
Along the heavenly coast Our ship is homeward bound.
Yet with her sails expanded wide, What though no moon nor stars appear
On, on, she swiftly flew, Amid the gloom profound ?
Bearing with ardent hope and love We will not yield a place to fear
Her passengers and crew. Our ship is homeward bound.
3 Ort tempests have assailed her round, What though the lightnings glare above,
And stormy winds rose high ;
And deafening thunders roar ?
And dark have been the mountain waves Yet with the eye of faith and love
That bore her to the sky We view the distant shore.
But o'er them all, with steady helm, We know that friends will meet us there,
She onward pressed her way
- .We loved in life before
Her compass, true unto the pole, And angel forms, all bright and fair,

Guides her to endless day. Line the immortal shore.

let

She nears her haven home And the lightnings glare


let

A beacon light hangs o'er her bow, We're nearing the eternal shore,
And bids her thither come ;
And we are almost there.
And voices joyful oft are heard, Then heave, ye waves, on every side,
And music swelling high And onward, homeward bear

And anchored in the bay Into the gloom profound
Aod all her passengers on shore But we can smile to view the storm
Will keep a festal day Our ship is homeward bound
And long their songs of joy will rise And though for us, on time's dark wave
Beneath high heaven's dome ;
No place of rest be found,
They've passed the stormy sea of time, let our hearts be true and brave
They've reached their haven home. Our ship is homeward bound.

Worn out by these long years of ill, We left them but to slumber there,
These ages of delay. Till the last glorious morn.

Put in thy sickle now To see thee face to face,
Reap the great harvest of the earth To share thy crown and glory then,
Sower and reaper thou. As now we share thy grace.

Wilt thou not judge thy suffering Church. Their joyful upward flight they take
Her sighs and tears and blood ? To realms of endless day.

Soon, soon, Jesus is coming, When, when, shall we be there ?

Yes, yes, O yes, Burdened with sorrow and care
Publish the tidings abroad. Home, home, home, home,
Sorrow breathes not in its air.

Shouts, shouts, filling the air ;
Sweet, sweet music shall swell

Peace in each bosom shall dwell.

Cloudless and bright in our home.
There will the wanderers rest.

Who, who, love his blest name Friends, friends, meet on its shore ;

Now, now, we are delighting, Here, here, lonely they've left us


Jesus is near to proclaim. Soon we '11 be parted no more :

Yes, yes, yes, O Home, home, home, home,


Jesus is near to proclaim. Friends will be parted no more.
6 Still, still, rest on the promise, 5 Home, home, let us now hasten,
Cling, cling, fast to his word ;
See, see, angels above
Wait, wait, if he should tarry, Hark ! hark ! now do they call us,
Patiently wait for the Lord. Home to their dwelling of love
Yes, yes, yes, Home, home, home, home,
Patiently wait for the Lord. Home of our Father's kind love.

While all heaven will shout, " Amen !

Purling streams and crystal fountains, Shall the saints thy banner see,
On whose banks sweet flow'rets blow. When the Lord for whom we've waited
Shall proclaim the Jubilee !

3 In that world of light and beauty, By thine own eternal Spirit
In that golden city fair, Rule in all our hearts alone
Soon its pearly gates they '11 enter, By thine all-sufficient merit
And of all its glories share. Raise us to thy glorious throne.
There, divine the soul's expansions Charles Wesley.

Free from sin, and death, and pain ;


o4b 1367, 850, 601.
Tears will never dim those mansions 1 This is not my place of resting
Where the saints immortal reign. Mine 's a city yet to come
4 Soon He comes ! with clouds descending Onward, to it, I am hastening,
All his saints, entombed, arise On to my eternal home.
The redeemed, in anthems blending, In it, all is light and glory
O'er it shines a nightless day
Shout their victory through the skies.
Every trace of sin's sad story,
0, we long for thine appearing
Saviour, quickly come
All the curse has passed away.
Come, !

Blessed hope our spirits cheering,


! 2 There the Lamb, our Shepherd, leads us
Take thy ransomed children home. By the streams of life along
Annie R. Smith. On the freshest pastures feeds us,
o45 732, 499, 608. Turns our sighing into song.
1 Come, thou long-expected Jesus, Soon we pass this desert dreary,
Born to set thy people free Soon we bid farewell to pain
From our fears and sins release us, Nevermore are sad and weary,
Let us find our rest in thee Never, never sin again.

Of thy bitter cross and pain Now a final doom proclaims
All who worship beast or image
She shall yet behold thy glory
When thou comest back to reign Soon shall feel the avenging flames
Christ is coming
Grace no longer
Shelters their unworthy names.
Let each heart repeat the strain.
3 Long thy exiles have been pining, 4 Here are they who now are waiting,

Far from rest, and home, and thee And have patience to endure
While the dragon's hosts are raging,
But, in heavenly vesture shining,
These confide in God, secure
Soon they shall thy glory see
Faith of Jesus
Christ is coming

Hark, how the heavenly hosts are cheer- gloom

See in what throngs they range the shore, Joy and rejoicing like shadows depart,
Grief and affliction abide in the heart.

Cheer up, cheer up, the day breaks o'er Many the sorrows this sad earth has known
thee, Hopes have been withered, and hearts have
Bright as the summer's noon-tide ray been torn

Tears have been gushing from fountains

for that morning which brings us relief!
Invite thy happy soul away.
Ah, we have tasted of blessings to come ;

Away, away, leave all for glory,

Thy home is in that world of beauty Glad shall the saints sing the conquerors'

Light of the lonely pilgrim's heart 1 Soon will the heavenly Bridegroom come
Star of the coming day !
Ye wedding-guests draw near,
Arise, and with thy morning beams And slumber not in sin, when he,
Chase all our griefs away. The Son of God, is here
Come, blessed Lord let every shore !
Come, us haste to meet our Lord,
let
And answering island sing Andhim with delight
hail
The praises of thy royal name, Who saves us by his precious blood,
And own thee as their King. From sorrows infinite
Jesus, thy
fair creation groans 2 Beside him will the patriarchs old,
The
the earth, the sea
air, And holy prophets stand
In unison with all our hearts, The glorious apostolic choir,
And calls aloud for thee. And
noble martyr band.
Thine was the cross, with all its fruits As brethren dear they '11 welcome us,
Of grace and peace divine And lead us to the throne,
Be thine the crown of glory now, Where angels bow their vailed heads,
The palm of victory thine. Before the Eternal One.
But, dearest Lord, however bright 3 There we, with all the saints of God,
That crown of joy above, A
white-robed multitude,
What is it to the brighter hope Shall praise our glorious Lord, who deigned
Of dwelling in thy love ? To bear our flesh and blood.
What to the joy, the deeper joy, Our happy lot shall be to share
Unmingled, pure, and free, His reign of peace above,
Of union with our living Head, And drink, with unexhausted joy,
Of fellowship with thee ? The river of his love.
Edward Denny.

2 He cometh, cometli speedy, 4 0, what is tribulation,
To save his suffering saints, And the ills I bear,
all
Saints groaning, waiting, ready, Compared with this salvation,
And endeth their complaints And all the glory there ?
With joy they meet him in the air, Behold a city fair and high,
And shout the swelling triumph there Bright capital of earth and sky,
No longer poor and needy, The joy of all creation,
But crowned with glory now And with glory now
filled
Not one's reviled to-day ! The armies of his grace,
None stumble in the way Triumphant reach the place
All crowned with everlasting glory now. '
T is glory, everlasting glory, now !

Now let your prisoner go, There every sound that cheers,
Discharged from pain and dying There sweet, immortal breezes,
And from a world of woe Inspire the balmy years
I go to Christ, he comes to me, There all the just join in a band,
We meet in bright eternity, From every age, from every land,
On clouds he cometh flying, While o'er them reigns King Jesus,
On clouds of glory now ! With crowns of glory now
Victorious in his wars, The people of his grace,
Full many a palm he bears, Have reached the heavenly place
And crowns of everlasting glory now !

I have been wandering many years, Hope turns the darkness into day.
Still looking for that happy morrow it will be but little longer
When God would wipe away my tears. I musk these many woes endure
3 Ofttimes the tempter comes in power, Then let my faith and hope grow stronger
Fain then would lead my steps astray My Father's promise still is sure.

2 The plague, and dearth, and din of war, The famine all thy fullness brings ;

Our Saviour's swift approach declare, The plague presents thy healing wings,
And bid our hearts arise And nature's final hour.
The signs confirm our trembling hope, 4 Whatever ills the world befall,
While scoffers still in darkness grope, A pledge of endless good we call,
And view them with surprise. A sign of Jesus near.
3 Thy tokens we with joy confess His chariot will not long delay
The war proclaims the Prince of peace We hear the rumbling wheels, and pray,
The earthquake speaks thy power "Triumphant Lord, appear I

Lift up your joyful song. 4 Together to their Father's house
With joyful hearts they go
2 He comes, the prisoner to release,
And dwell forever with the Lord,
In Satan's bondage held
Beyond the reach of woe.

The iron fetters yield.

3 He comes to usher in the morn 1 Each setting sun draws near the day
With his celestial ray, When, at Jehovah's word,
And on the eyes oppressed with night The heavens like smoke shall pass away,
To pour eternal day. Revealing Christ our Lord.
4 He comes, the broken heart to bind, 2 To speak our doom he will descend,
The wounded soul to cure, Beheld by every eye
And, with the treasures of his grace, Life or destruction shall attend
To bless the humble poor. Those Judgments from on high.
5 Our glad hosannas, Prince of peace, 3 Then weigh thyself with anxious care,
Thy welcome shall proclaim, And seek a throne of grace
And heaven's eternal arches ring Thy soul his Spirit can prepare
With thy beloved name. To stand before his face.

Beneath a numerous train of ills No more with anxious care oppressed :

Our feeble flesh and heart may fail They warred the conflict till life's close ;

O'er every gloomy fear prevail.

1 The morning flowers display their sweets, 2 He lived, his Saviour to adore,

As fearless of the evening cold. Nor murmured at his chastening rod.

2 Nipped by the wind's unkindly blast, 3 Does earth attract thee here ? they cried

The fading glory disappears, That, freed from death's triumphant reign,
The short-lived beauties die away. In heaven he will live again.

2 The sweetest songsters soonest fly, 1 So fades the lovely, blooming flower.
The fondest hopes the soonest die, Frail, smiling solace of an hour
And harps but once to gladness strung So soon our transient comforts fly,
Are on the weeping-willows hung. And pleasure only blooms to die.
3 How much of grief, how little joy, 2 Is there no kind, no healing art,
How little gold, how much alloy, To soothe the anguish of the heart ?
How many doubts, how many fears Divine Redeemer, be thou nigh
Ye bring us, O ye passing years Thy comforts were not made to die.

4 Though sorrow dims our vision here, 3 Let gentle Patience smile on pain,
Faith points beyond this mortal sphere, Till dying Hope revives again ;

Where tears of anguish never flow, She wipes the tear from Sorrow's eye,
Where pain and death none ever know. And Faith points upward to the sky.

Asleep in Jesus how sweet
!
1 The saints may rest within the tomb
To be for such a slumber meet Awhile until the morning come
With holy confidence to rest Then shall they rise to meet their God,
In hope of being ever blest. And ever dwell in his abode.
3 Asleep in Jesus Peaceful rest,
! Celestial dawn ! Triumphant hour
Whose waking supremely blest
is How glorious that awakening power
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour Which bids the sleeping dust arise,
That manifests the Saviour's power. And join the anthems of the skies
4 Asleep in Jesus ! Soon to rise, This weary life will soon be past,
When the last trump shall rend the skies The lingering morn will come at last,
Then burst the fetters of the tomb, And gloomy mists will roll away
And wake in full, immortal bloom. Before that bright, unfading day.

But though earth's fairest blossoms die, If God be ours, we're traveling home,

2 In those dark realms of night and gloom VLiO 924, 918,

Shall peace and hope no more arise ? 1 As the sweet flower that scents the morn.
No future morning light the tomb, But withers in the rising day,
Nor day-star gild the darksome skies ? Thus lovely was this infant's dawn,
3 Cease, cease, ye vain, desponding fears !
Thus swiftly fled its life away.
When Christ, our Lord, from darkness
2 It died ere its expanding soul
sprang,
Had ever burned with wrong desires,
Death, the last foe, was captive led,
Had ever spurned high Heaven's control,
And heaven with praise and wonder rang. Or ever quenched its sacred fires.

4 Faith sees the bright eternal doors 3 It died to died to cares,


sin, it
Unfold to make his children way ; But for a moment felt the rod
They shall be clothed with endless life, mourner, such the Lord declares,
And shine in everlasting day. Such are the children of our God.

Yet faith may triumph o'er the grave, Its glories shall restore

The mighty conqueror shall appear, UOU 724, 647.


1 When the awful voice
last trumpet's
High on a royal seat
This rending earth shall shake,
And death, the last of all our foes,
Lie vanquished at his feet.
When opening graves shall yield their
charge,
Then shall I see thy lovely face And dust to life awake,
With strong, immortal eyes, 2 Those bodies that corrupted fell,
And feast upon thy wondrous grace Shall incorrupt arise,
With pleasure and surprise. And mortal forms shall spring to life
Isaac Watts.
Immortal in the skies.
UOO 041, 644. 3 Behold, what heavenly prophets sung
1 Behold the western evening light Is now at last fulfilled
It melts in deepening gloom ;
And Death yields up his ancient reign,
So calmly Christians sink away, And, vanquished, quits the field.
Descending to the tomb. 4 Let Faith exalt her joyful voice,
2 The winds breathe low, the yellow leaf And now in triumph sing :

Scarce whispers from the tree ; Grave, where is thy victory?


So gently flows the parting breath And where, Death, thy sting ?
William Cameron.

1 Unconscious now in peaceful sleep,
sunset beam is cast 1
The From all her cares at rest,
So sweet the memory left behind While friends around are called to weep.
When loved ones breathe their last. She is divinely blessed.
4 And lo ! above the dews of night 2 Away from Satan's tempting snare,
The vesper star appears Her 's no longer tried
faith
So faith lights up the mourner's heart, In Jesus she is sleeping there
Whose eyes are dim with tears. For in bright hope she died.

2 When we see a precious blossom For the turfis now her pillow,
That we tended with such care And
she sleeps among the dead
Rudely taken from our bosom, While the cypress and the willow
How our aching hearts despair. Wave above her lowly bed.
Round the silent grave we linger
Till the setting sun is low, 2 With what grief and anguish riven
Feeling all our hopes have perished Should we see the loved depart,
With the flower we cherished so. If there were no promise given
3 We may sleep, but not forever, soothe the wounded heart
Which could
In the lone and silent grave If the chainswith which death binds them
Blessed be the Lord that taketh, Ne'er again should broken be,
Blessed be the Lord that gave. And his prison which confines them
In the bright, eternal city, Ne'er be burst to set them free !

Death can never, never come


3 But a gloriousclay is nearing,
In his own good time he'll call us
Earth's long-wished-for jubilee,
From our rest to home, sweet home.
Mrs. M. A. Kidder. When creation's King appearing,
Shall proclaim his people free
964 When upborne on Love's bright pinion,
1 Passed away from earth forever, They shall shout from land and. sea,
Free from all its cares and fears, "Death, where is thy dark dominion !

She again will join us never Grave, where is thy victory !

While we tread this vale of tears U. Smith.

Time's dark tide of sorrow 3 But these sounds of terror
Breaks above thy head Pierce not thy low tomb,
And feet of restless millions Nor break the happy slumbers
Shall o'er thy chambers tread Of death's dark, silent home.
Earthquakes, whirlwinds, tempests, Couch of tranquil slumber
Tear the quivering ground For the weary brow
Voices, trumpets, thunders, Best of faint and toiling,
Fill the air around Take this loved one now.

2 But there 's a bright, a glorious hope,


968 [Tune, Beloved, No. 134.] lis & 8s.
1 If I in thy likeness, Lord, may awake,
That scatters death's dark gloom
And shine, a pure image of thee,
It cheers the saddened spirits up,
Then I shall be satisfied, when I can break
It gilds the Christian's tomb ;
The fetters of death, and be free.
It brings the resurrection near,
When those we love shall re-appear. 2 I know this stained tablet must first be
washed white,
3 Then mourn we not as those whose hopes
To let thy bright features be drawn ;

With fleeting life depart


I know I must suffer the darkness of night,
For we have heard a voice from heaven To welcome the coming of dawn.
To every stricken heart
" Blest are the dead, forever blest, 3 0, 1 shall be satisfied when I can cast

Who from henceforth in Jesus rest." The shadow of nature all by,
When this dreary world from my vision is
4 With kind regard the Lord beholds passed,
His saints when called to die, To live in an unclouded day.
And precious in his holy sight
4 I feel the blest morning begins to draw
Their sacred dust shall lie
near,
Till all these storms of life are o'er,
When time's dreary fancy shall fade ;
And they shall rise to die no more.
O, then in thy likeness may I but appear,
In glory and beauty arrayed
5 A few more days, and we shall meet !

The loved whose toil is o'er, 5 When on thine own image in me thou hast
And plant with joy our bounding feet smiled,
On Canaan's radiant shore, Within thy blest mansion, and when
Where, free from all earth's cares and fears, The arms of my Father encircle his child,

We '11 part no more through endless years. I shall be satisfied then

While o'er our gladness lone shadows creep. Fond hopes have vanished flown with — ;

Dark, chilling shadows, bringing a gloom. thy breath.


Telling of dear ones gone to the tomb. Joy turns to sadness, life seems but pain

2 We Ve no abiding city here, 1 When Goddescends with men to dwell,
We seek a city out of sight And all creation wakes anew,
Zion its name, —
the Lord is there,
What tongue can half the wonders tell ?
It shines with everlasting light.
What eye the dazzling glory view ?
3 O sweet abode of peace and love,
Where pilgrims, freed from toil, are 2 Zion, the desolate, again
Shall see her lands with roses bloom,
blest
Had I the pinions of a dove,
And Carmel's mount and Sharon's plain
Shall yield their spices and perfume
I 'd fly to thee, and be at rest.
3 Celestial streams shall gently flow,
4 But hush, my soul nor dare repine !

The time my God appoints is best The wilderness shall joyful be,
on parched grounds shall grow,
Lilies
While here, to do his will be mine,
And his to fix my time of rest.
And gladness spring on every tree
Thomas Kelly.
4 The weak be strong, the fearful bold,
97o 816, 301, 336. The deaf shall hear, the dumb shall sing,
1 There is a land mine eye hath seen The lame shall walk, the blind behold,
In visions of enraptured thought, And joy through all the earth shall ring;
So which spreads between
bright, that all
5 The high and low shall meet in love,
Is with its radiant glories fraught,
All pride shall die, and meekness reign,
2 A land upon whose blissful shore When Christ descends from worlds above
There rests no shadow, falls no stain To dwell with men on earth again.
Ballou.
There those who meet shall part no more,
And those long parted meet gain. UO\) 801, 186, 914.

3 Its skies are not like earthly skies, 1 There is a fold whence none can stray,
With varying hues of shade and light And pastures clothed in living green,
It hath no need of suns to rise Where sultry sun, or stormy day,
To dissipate the gloom of night Or gloomy night is never seen.
4 There sweeps no desolating wind 2 Far up the everlasting hills
Across that calm, serene abode In God's own glorious light it lies
The wanderer there a home may find His smile its vast dimension fills
Within the paradise of God With joy divine that never dies.

Most glorious to behold How glorious is the place !

Thy gates are richly set with pearl, The Saviour there has his abode,
Thy streets are paved with gold. And saints will see his face.
3 Thy garden and thy pleasant walks 2 There all the fruits of glory grow,
My study loDg have been ; And joys that never die
Such dazzling views, by human sight And streams of grace and knowledge flow.
Have never yet been seen. The soul to satisfy.

4 Lord, help us by thy mighty grace 3 Come, set your faces Zionward,
To keep in view the prize The sacred road inquire,
Till thou dost come to take us home And let the city of the Lord
To that blest paradise. Be henceforth your desire.

To dwell on Zion's hill.

4 The God of glory down to men
2 I see immortal saints in light,
Removes his blest abode
Men are the objects of his love, Who taste the pleasure there
They all are robed in spotless white,
And he their gracious God.
And conquering palms they bear.
5 His own soft hand shall wipe the tears
From every weeping eye 3 what are all my sufferings here,
And pains, and groans, and griefs, and Lord, thou count me meet
If,

And death itself, shall die. And worship at thy feet?
6 How bright the vision 0, how long! 4 Give joy or grief, give ease or pain,
Shall this glad hour delay ? Take life or friends away
Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time, '
But let me find them all again
And bring the welcome day In that eventful day 1

All holy in their spotless robes, And live, and love, nor ever roam
All holy in their song. From that serene retreat ?

Have won their immortality, Then let me, gracious God, ascend
And they can die no more. To sweet repose in heaven !

Those gloomy doubts that rise,


1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,

And see the Canaan that we love,


And cast a wishful eye
With unbeclouded eyes To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Could we but climb where Moses stood,
Where my possessions lie.

And view the landscape o'er,


0, the transporting, rapturous scene
Not all this world's pretended good That rises to my sight
Could ever charm us more. Sweet fields arrayed in living green,
Isaac Watts. And rivers of delight.

2 There, generous fruits that never fail,
1 Eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard,
Nor sense nor reason known On trees immortal, grow ;

There rocks and hills and brooks and vale,


What joys the Father hath prepared
For those that love his Son
With milk and honey flow.
O'er all those wide, extended plains,
But the good Spirit of the Lord
Shines one eternal day
Reveals a heaven to come ;
There Christ, the sun, forever reigns,
The beams of glory in his word
Allure and guide us home.
And scatters night away.
2 Pure is the land the saints espy, 3 When shall I reach that happy place,
And all the region peace And be forever blest ?
No wanton lips nor envious eye When shall I see my Father's face,
Can see or taste the bliss. And in his kingdom rest ?
Those holy gates forever bar Filled with delight, my raptured soul
Pollution, sin, and shame Would here no longer stay
None shall obtain admittance there Though Jordan's waves around me roll,

But followers of the Lamb. Fearless, I'd launch away.

2 When tossed upon the waves of life, High walls of precious gems and gold
With fear on every side, Secure from every ill
When fiercely howls the gathering storm, Unheard-of bliss and joys untold
And foams the angry tide, Within its borders dwell.
Beyond the storm, beyond the gloom,
Breaks forth the light of morn, There living waters ceaseless flow
Bright beaming from my Father's house, Fromout the heavenly throne
To cheer the soul forlorn. There fairest fruits perennial grow,
3 In that pure home of tearless joy And want is never known.
Earth's parted friends shall meet, Nor sun by day nor moon by night
With smiles of love that never fade, This heavenly city needs,
And blessedness complete. But glory sheds a crystal light
There, there adieus are sounds unknown That never wanes nor fades.
Death frowns not on that scene,
But life and glorious beauty shine, Nor sin nor sorrow cometh there,
Untroubled and serene. Nor ever death nor pain,

Look for some bright and sunny bay The glories of that radiant strand,
Where windsand waves arehushed in sleep, And bid us breast the waves that swell
And joy lights up the happy day, Between us and the shining land.
So o'er the tossing sea of years 4 Ear hath not heard, eye hath not seen,
We glance the eye and stretch the hand The glories of that home of song ;

Where, robed in fadeless light, appears Though stormy billows roll between,
The border of the shining land. I go to j oin the angel throng.
3 There angel hosts of glorious ones, But of the joys beyond the tide,
With sinless hearts and stainless hands, The welcomes on that golden strand,
Call us in glad and loving tones, The best shall be from Him who died
And bid us welcome to their bands. To bring me to the shining land.

3 Once they were mourners here below, From desert waste, and cities full,
And poured out cries and tears From dungeons dark, they've come,
They wrestled hard, as we do now, And now they claim their mansion fair,
With sins, and doubts, and fears. They ve found their long-sought home.

Lord, Our faith increase


r P
Cleanse from all unrighteousness
Every stumbling-block remove
Thee the unholy cannot see,
Each to each unite, endear
Make, make us meet for thee
Come, and spread thy banner here. ;

4 Every vile affection kill,


3 Make us of one heart and mind,
Root out every seed of ill,
Courteous, pitiful, and kind,
Utterly abolish sin,
Lowly, meek, in thought and word
Write thy law of love within.
Altogether like our Lord.
5 Hence may all our actions flow,
4 Let us for each other care,
Love the proof that Christ we know
Each the other's burden bear
Mutual love the token be,
To thy Church the pattern give,
Lord, that we belong to thee
Show how true believers live.
6 Love, thine image, love impart,
5 Free from anger and from pride,
Stamp it now on every heart
Let us thus in God abide
Only love to us be given
May our daily life express Love, the crowning grace of heaven.
Constant love and holiness. Charles Wesley.
6 Let us then with joy remove 102y 904. 605. 718,
To the family above 1 Glory be to God above,
On the wings of angels fly God from whom all blessings flow
To our mansions in the sky. Make we mention of his love,
Charles Wesley.
Publish we his praise below
102o 720, 240, 407.
1 While we walk with God in light, 2 Called together by his grace,
God our hearts doth still unite We are met in Jesus' name
Dearest fellowship we prove, See with joy each other's face,
Fellowship in Jesus' love Followers of the bleeding Lamb.

2 Sweetly each, with each combined, 3 More and more let love abound
In the bonds of duty joined, Let us never, never rest,
Feels the cleansing blood applied, Till we are in Jesus found,
Daily feels that Christ hath died. And of paradise possessed
Charles Wesley

2 "I '11 make your great commission known, 1 Saviour of men, thy searching eye
And ye shall prove my gospel true Doth all mine inmost thoughts descry
By all the works that I have done, Doth aught on earth my wishes raise,
By all the wonders ye shall do. Or the world's pleasures, or its praise ?
3 "Teach all the nations my commands 2 The love of Christ doth me constrain
I 'm with you till the world shall end :

To seek the wandering souls of men


All power is vested in my hands With cries, entreaties, tears, to save,
I can destroy, and I defend. To snatch them from the open grave.
4 He spake, and light shone round his head :
3 For this let men revile my name
On a bright cloud to heaven he rode No cross I shun, I fear no shame :

They to the farthest nations spread All hail, reproach, and welcome pain
The grace of their ascended Lord. Only thy terrors, Lord, restrain.

To them thy sacred truth reveal, To distant climes the tidings bear,
Suppress their fear, inflame their zeal. And plant the Bose of Sharon there.
3 Teach them to sow the precious seed ;
2 He '11 shield you with a wall of fire,
Teach them thy chosen flock to feed With flaming zeal your breast inspire,
Teach them the souls of men to gain Bid raging winds their fury cease,
Nor let them labor, Lord, in vain. And hush the tempest into peace.
4 Let thronging multitudes around 3 And when our labors all are o'er,
Hear from their lips the joyful sound, Then we shall meet to part no more,
In humble strains thy grace implore, Meet with the blood-bought throng, to fall,
And feel thy Spirit's living power.

To paths of peace the wanderer guide
Be wise the erring soul to win,
And lead the thirsty, panting heart
Go forth into the world's highway,
Where streams of living water glide.
Compel the wanderer to come in.

Yet falter not the prize you seek

Go gather in the glorious spoil,

a kingdom and a crown !
And joyous in his presence stand.
Horatius Bonar. 4 Thy love a rich reward shall find
lOOl 973, 136, 47. From Him who sits enthroned on high
1 Hold up thy light, child of grace !
For they who turn the erring mind
Be not afraid to let it shine Shall shine like stars above the sky.

To hide this precious light divine. 1039 638, 801, 914.
1 Lord, how full of sweet content
2 Hold up thy light Thou canst not tell,
!
Our years of pilgrimage are spent
However feeble be its ray,
Where'er we dwell, we dwell with thee,
But some poor soul may catch its beam, At home, abroad, on land or sea.
And by it find the narrow way.
3 Hold up thy light with steady hand, 2 To us remains nor place nor time
Though it be faint Who does not know,
!
Our country is in every clime
Where darkness reigns, how far and clear We can be calm and free from care
Even a little light will show? On any shore, since God is there.
4 Hold up thy light 'Tis God's command, 3 While place we seek, or place we shun,
!

And till with thee time cease to roll, The soul finds happiness in none
His voice thou canst not disobey But with our God to guide our way,
But at the peril of thy soul. 'Tis equal joy to go or stay.

2 Thrust in your sharpened sickle, Then closed will be thy mission,
And gather in the grain The harvest will be past
The night is fast approaching, The summer quickly ended,
And soon will come again. And lost thy soul at last.
The Master calls for reapers,
And shall he vain ?
call in 2 Then rouse thee, idle gleaner
Shall sheaves there ungathered,
lie Perform the work at hand
And waste upon the plain ? Be earnest in thy duty,

And ready at command.
Fill well the place assigned thee,
In morning's ruddy glow,
Though hard may seem thy lot
Nor wait until the dial
Points to the noon below
With Heaven's approbation,
And come with the strong sinew, Be every ill forgot.
Nor faint in heat or cold 3 Soon, on a cloud of glory,
And pause not till the evening Thy Saviour will appear,
Draws round its wealth of gold. All faces gather paleness,
4 Mount up the hights of wisdom, And nations quake with fear.
And crush each error low then thy name he '11 honor,
Keep back no words of knowledge And for thy service now,
That human hearts should know. A
crown of fadeless glory
Be thy mission,
faithful to He '11 place upon thy brow.
In service of thy Lord,
And soon a golden chaplet 4 A mansion in the city
Will be thy rich reward. Whose glories far outshine
Isaac B. Woodbury. The sun in noon-day splendor,

Ho idlers in the vineyard,

The jasper walls of heaven
Why wasting all the day ? Shall echo thy refrain,
The Master soon is coming The anthem of redemption,
To bear the fruit away To Jesus that was slain.

This life to toil is given, The Master bids him tarry,


And he improves it best And dare you ask him why ?
Who seeks by patient labor " Go labor in my vineyard,
To
enter into rest There's resting by-and-by."
Then, pilgrim, worn and weary, 4 Wan reaper in the harvest,
Press on, the goal is nigh ; Let this thy strength sustain,
The prize is straight before thee ; Each sheaf that fills the garner
There's resting by-and-by. Brings you eternal gain
Nor ask when, overburdened, Then bear the cross with patience,
You long for friendly aid, To fields of duty hie
Why idle stands my brother, 'Tis sweet to work for Jesus ;

"
No yoke upon him laid ? There's resting by-and-by.

2 Toiling early in the morning,
1 Speed thy servants, Saviour, speed them
Catching moments through the day,
Thou art Lord of winds and waves
Nothing small or lowly scorning
They were bound, but thou hast freed
While we work, and watch, and pray ;
them;
Gathering gladly
Now they go to free the slaves
Free-will offerings by the way.
Be thou with them ;

3 Not for selfish praise or glory, 'T is thine arm alone that saves.
Nor for things of transient worth, 2 Friends and home and all forsaking,
But to send the blessed story Lord, they go at thy command ;

Of the gospel o'er the earth, As their stay thy promise taking,
Telling mortals While they traverse sea and land
Of our Lord and Saviour's birth. 0, be with them ;

Lead them safely by the hand.


4 Up and ever at our calling,
3 Where no fruit appears to cheer them,
Till in death our lips are dumb,
And they seem to toil in vain,
Or till — sin's dominion falling
Then in mercy, Lord, draw near them,
Christ shall in his kingdom come,
Then their sinking hopes sustain
And his children
Thus supported,
Keach their everlasting home.
Let their zeal revive again.
5 Steadfast then, in our endeavor, 4 In the midst of opposition
Heavenly Father, may we be Let them trust, Lord, in thee;
And forever and forever, When success attends their mission,
We will give the praise to thee Let thy servants humble be
Alleluia, Never leave them,
Singing all eternity. Till thy face in heaven they see.

Truth to spread from pole to poleo Every talent we possess.
3 As the seed, by billows floated Vainer still the hope of heaven,
To some distant island lone, That on human strength relies •,

So to human souls benighted But to him shall help be given


That thou sowest may be borne. Who in humble faith applies.
4 Cast thy bread upon the waters Seek we, then, the Lord's Anointed
Why wilt thou still doubting stand ? He shall grant us peace and rest
Bounteous shall God send the harvest, Ne'er was suppliant disappointed,
If thou sow with liberal hand. Who through Christ his prayer ad-
dressed. Harriet Auber.

2 If you cannot cross the ocean You can stand among the sailors,

And the heathen lands explore, Anchored yet within the bay,
You can find the heathen nearer, You can lend a hand to help them,
You can help them at your door As they launch their boat away.

If you cannot speak like angels,


If you cannot preach like Paul, If you are too weak to journey
You can tell the love of Jesus, Up the mountain steep and high,
You can say he died for all. You can stand within the valley,
While the multitude go by
3 If you cannot he the watchman,
You can chant in happy measure,
Standing high on Zion's wall,
As they slowly pass along
Pointing out the path to heaven,
Though they may forget the singer,
Offering life and peace to all
They will not forget the song.
With your prayers and with your bounties
You can do what heaven demands, If you have not gold and silver
You can be like faithful Aaron, Ever ready to command,
Holding up the prophet's hands. If you cannot to'ard the needy
4 While the souls of men are dying, Reach an ever-open hand,
And the Master calls for you, You can visit the afflicted,
Let none hear you idly saying, O'er the erring you can weep,
" There is nothing I can do !

You can be a true disciple


Gladly take the task he gives you, Sitting at the Saviour's feet.
Let his work your pleasure be
Answer quickly when he calleth, If you cannot in the harvest
" Here am I, Lord, send me." Garner up the richest sheaves,
Daniel March. Many a grain both ripe and golden

1 If you cannot on the ocean Go and glean among the briers,
Sail among the swiftest fleet, Growing rank against the wall,
Rocking on the highest billows, For it may be that the shadow
Laughing at the storms you meet, Hides the heaviest wheat of all.

Their ardent zeal express, Who, hoping in thy word,
And in the Lord's appointed way This day have solemnly declared
Fulfill all righteousness. That Jesus is their Lord.
3 With joy we in his footsteps tread, 2 With cheerful feet may they advance,
And would his cause maintain And run the Christian race,
Like him be numbered with the dead, And, through the troubles of the way,
And with him rise and reign. Find all-sufficient grace.
4 His presence oft revives our hearts, 3 Lord, plant us all into thy death,
And drives our fears away That we thy may prove

For ours was freely given, We now devote to thee
Who aids us in the spirit's strife, Let them thy covenant mercies share,
And makes us meet for heaven. And thy salvation see.
3 To thee we gladly now resign 2 In early days their hearts secure
Our life and all our powers From worldly snares, we pray
Accept us in this rite divine, And let them to the end endure
And bless these hallowed hours. In every righteous way.
4 may we die to earth and sin, 3 Grant us before them, Lord, to live
Beneath the mystic flood In holy faith and fear ;

And when we rise, may we begin And then to heaven do thou receive,
To live anew for God. And bring our children there.

And he who came our souls to save, In deep humility this work
In Jordan bowed his head. Of righteousness fulfill ;

2 He taught the solemn way 3 Tread in his steps, with prayer


He fixed the holy rite Invoke his Spirit free,
He bade his ransomed ones obey, And as he burst the gates of death
And keep the path of light. So may our rising be.

Entered Jordan's yielding wave, To all in him believing

Rose from out the crystal flood,


He bids us seek this hallowed grave,
To his example cleaving.
Owned and sealed the Son of God
Chorus.
By the Father's voice of love, I'llfollow then my glorious Lord,
By the heaven-descending dove Whate'er the ties I sever
Saviour, Pattern, guide for me, He saves my soul, he's left his word
I, like him, baptized would be. To guide me now and ever.

2 In the garden, o'er his soul


2 For me the cross and shame to bear,
Dear Saviour, thou wast willing
Sorrow's whelming waves did roll
Nor would I shrink thy yoke to wear,
And on Calvary's cruel tree, All righteousness fulfilling.
Jesus bowed in death for me.
I with him am crucified 3 Jesus, to thee I yield my all
my hope is—:he hath died In thy kind arms infold me
All
At his feet my place I take,

My heart is fixed, no fears appall,
Thy gracious power shall hold me.
Bear the cross for his dear sake. Anon.

In this rite required of me,- Guide us to the throne of God.
Rising from the mystic flood,

'Twas there the ancient Baptist stood, lOtto [Tune, Webb, No. 833.] 7s & 6s. d.

Whose name was John, a man of God, 1 'Tis down into the water
To do his Master's will. Where we believers go,
To serve our Lord and Master
2 Down in old Jordan's rolling stream
In righteous acts below
The Baptist led the holy Lamb, We lay our mortal bodies
And there did him baptize Beneath the yielding wave,
Jehovah saw his holy Son, An emblem of the Saviour
And was well pleased in what he'd done, When he lay in the grave.
And owned him from the skies. 2 The light of truth is spreading,
3 This is my
Son, Jehovah cries
And shining now for thee
And sweet its notes are sounding
On him, to rest, the Spirit flies
To set the captive free
children, hear ye him !
And while this glorious message
Hark 1 'tis his voice, behold he cries
Is spreading far around,

Repent, believe, and be baptized, Some souls exposed to ruin,
And Christ will save from sin." Redeeming grace have found.

2 And while we meet together thus, 1 'T was wondrous depth of heavenly love
We show that we are one in thee : That brought our Saviour from above
Thy precious blood was shed for us To walk with men, a sinful race,
Thy death, O Lord, has set us free. To seek and save them by his grace.
3 We have one hope-—that thou wilt come 2 He left his own majestic bliss,
Thee in the air we wait to see To sojourn in a world like this
Then thou wilt give thy saints a home, Not to be honored as deserved,
And we shall ever reign with thee. But he was here as one who served.
Anon.
3 He was a true and constant friend
1100 816, 431, 47.
He loved his chosen to the end
1 The sun had set on Syria's plain. And to impress a lesson meet,
The night had bloomed with stars again, He washed his dear disciples' feet.
When, as his fateful hour drew nigh,
4 " Ye call me Lord, and that is true
The Saviour knew that he must die.
Then do as I have done to you
2 As still drew nigh that hour of dread,
Since 't is your privilege to know,
Wait and sad,
his disciples pale
You will be happy if you do."
When he, with love's compassion sweet, R. F. Cottrell.
Knelt lowly down and washed their feet,

3 Draw near to us, Lord, we pray 1 In imitation, Lord, of thee,
We follow in thy steps to-day This solemn service we repeat
Here with thy saints 't is joy to meet, For thine example, full of grace,
And bow, and humbly wash their feet. Has made this humble duty sweet.
4 thou bright King, within whose hand 2 Renew each sacred spark of love,
The ages glide like grains of sand, And vitalize the holy flame
Now hear us pray that we may be May union strong our hearts unite
All lowly, meek, and pure, like thee. While this we do in Jesus' name.

5 And when the glorious morn shall break, 3 Our great Example thou shalt be,
And at thy voice each sleeper wake, In washing thy disciples' feet
Remember us, Lord, we pray And as we follow thy command,
Roll from our grave this stone away Make thou our fellowship complete.

There no work too humble
is
1 With Jesus in our midst
For Christian hands to do
We
gather round the board ;
There is no path too lowly
Though many, we are one in Christ, For our feet to pursue
One body in the Lord. Our blessed Lord and Master
2 Our sins were laid on him
Was servant unto all
When bruised on Calvary
None were too poor and needy
and rose again, For him to heed their call.
For us he died,
A pledge of victory. If we are his disciples,
Called by his holy name,
3 Faith eats the bread of life,
A portion of his Spirit
And drinks the living wine
We surely ought to claim.
Thus we, in love together knit,
And though the task be menial
On Jesus' breast recline.
Which he for us hath set,
His own divine example
4 Then let our powers unite,
His glorious name to raise
We never should forget.
And holy joy fill every mind, That he, the High and Holy,
And every voice be praise. Whose life-work was complete,

Our solemn vows record. This tender proof of love f

His body broken in our stead The shame, the glory, by this rite,
Is here, in this memorial bread Until he come.
And so our feeble love is fed, 5 Until the trump of God be heard,
Until he come. Until the ancient graves be stirred,
His fearful drops of agony, And with the great commanding word.
His life-blood shed for us we see The Lord shall come.

Until he come. Let not our hearts be desolate.


And thus that dark betrayal night, But, strong in faith, in patience wait,
With the last advent we unite Until he come

No incense is lighted, no victims are slain,

And spread celestial joys around. And humbler the pomp of procession and

And daughters sound thy praise, cense shall roll,
And shine, like polished stones, And Messiah the King who shall plead
Through long-succeeding days for the soul.
Here, Lord, display thy saving power, Father, come in but not in the cloud

While temples stand and men adore. Which filled the bright courts where thy

Receive thy truth in love Which beams on the soul and illumines

Rejoice in thy abounding grace. And reveal to each heart its Redeemer

Thy will was in the builders' thought 1 Lord of hosts, whose glory fills
Thy hand unseen amidst us wrought The bounds of the eternal hills,
Through mortal motive, scheme, and plan, And yet vouchsafes, in Christian lands,
Thy wise, eternal purpose ran. To dwell in temples made with hands
No lack thy perfect fullness knew; 2 Endue thy creatures with the grace
For human needs and longings grew That shall adorn thy dwelling-place
This house of prayer — this home of rest The beauty of the oak and pine,
Here may thy saints be often blessed. The gold and silver, make them thine.
In weakness and in want we call 3 Both now and ever, Lord, protect
On thee, for whom the heavens are small The temple of thine own elect
Thy glory is thy children's good, Be thou in us and we in thee,
Thy joy thy tender fatherhood. Through time and in eternity.

We dedicate this house to thee
Long may they echo with thy praise
And what our willing hands have done, And thou, descending, fill the place
We give to God and to the Son. With choicest tokens of thy grace.
Come, fill this house with heavenly grace, 3 Here let the great Redeemer reign,
While sinners throng the sacred place, With all the graces of his train
And saints, with angel hosts above, While power divine his word attends,
Unite to sing redeeming love. To conquer foes, and cheer his friends.
Here the mourning soul find rest
let 4 And in the great decisive day,
Upon the loving Saviour's breast When God the nations shall survey,
And with the sense of sins forgiven, May it before the world appear
Each heart aspire to God and heaven. That souls were born to glory here.

Thy Spirit's blest abode. Have raised to worship thee.

Here may the prayer of faith ascend, 2 Lord, from thine inmost glory send,
The voice of praise arise Within these courts to bide,
And may each lowly service prove The peace that dwelleth without end
Accepted sacrifice. Serenely by thy side

Here may the sinner learn his guilt, 3 May erring minds that worship here
And weep before his Lord Be taught the better way
Here, pardoned, sing a Saviour's love, And they who mourn and they who fear,
And here his vows record, Be strengthened as they pray.
Peace be within these sacred walls -, 4 May faith grow firm, and love grow warm,
Prosperity be here And pure devotion rise,
O smile upon thy people, Lord, While round these hallowed walls the storm
And evermore be near. Of earth-born passion dies.

The summer sun was shining, 5 They closed the blinds around him,
The sweat was on his brow, And locked him up alone,
His garments worn and dusty, That nothing might disturb him
His step seemed very slow Till his best Friend should come.
But he kept pressing onward, Hope made for him a pillow,
For he was wending home ; And faith, a garment rare,
shouting as he journeyed,
Still To keep him in his slumbers
Deliverance will come. Till Jesus should appear.
3 The songsters in the arbor 6 At length the trumpet sounded,
That stood beside the way The shadows fled away,
Attracted his attention, The gilded rays of glory
Inviting his delay Proclaimed the coming day ;

His watchword being " Onward !"


Then when the light of morning
He stopped his ears, and ran, Broke in his little room,
Still shouting as he journeyed, He rose, and cried, Hosanna !

Deliverance will come. Deliverance has come


4 I saw him in the evening, 7 I heard the song of triumph
The sun was bending low He sang upon that shore,
He 'd overtopped the mountain, Saying, Jesus has redeemed me,
And reached the vale below I '11 suffer now no more
His eyes were dim and heavy, And casting his eyes backward
His journey, it was done On the race that he had run,
He shouted, as it ended, He raised the loud hosanna,
Deliverance will come Deliverance has come

Seemed, with one voice, to make reply : For dark and dangerous is the night
" Time's wasting sands are nearly run, And daring scoffers gather round
Eternity is nigh. The evil servants smite.
Then weep no more with warning tones, — Te faithful ones the strict watch keep,
Portentous signs are thickening round, With lamps well trimmed, and do not sleep
The whole creation, waiting, groans, The thrilling cry, we hear it sound,
To hear the trumpet sound." " Prepare to meet your Lord."
4 Not far from home O blessed thought! In earth's dark hour God's word gives light.
The traveler's lonely heart to cheer ;
Its rays dispel the thickening gloom ;

Which oft a healing balm has brought, The path to glory now is bright
And dried the mourner's tear. The Bridegroom soon will come.
Then weep no more, since we shall meet Then lift your voices, saints, and sing
Where weary footsteps never roam Tour sweetest strains to Zion's King
Our our joys complete,
trials past, —
The thrilling cry we hear it sound,
Safe in our Father's home. "Prepare to meet your Lord."

And pants for a holy, peaceful clime Which the righteous alone can ever share
To glow with the vigor of endless life, He turns with contempt from these earthly toys,

Other refuge have I none, Just and holy is thy name,
Hangs my helpless soul on thee ; I am all unrighteousness
Leave, O leave me not alone Vile and full of sin I am,
Still support and comfort me Thou art full of truth and grace.
All my trust on thee is stayed, 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found-
All my help from thee I bring Grace to pardon all my sin
Cover my defenseless head Let the healing streams abound,
With the shadow of thy wing. Make and keep me pure within
Thou, O Christ, art all I want, Thou of life the Fountain art,
More than all in thee I find Freely let me take of thee
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Spring thou up within my heart,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Rise to all eternity.

that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Phil. 2 :8-n. —

"A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: and sent his servant at supper time to say to them
that were bidden, Come ; for all things are now ready. And they all with one consent began to make excuse.
* * So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said
to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor and the maimed,
and the halt, and the blind. * * For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste
of my supper." —
Luke 14 16-24. :

"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to
fulfill. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise
pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least command-

shaD do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Matt. 5: 17-19. —

" It is time for thee, Lord, to work: for they have made void thy law." Ps. 119: 126. —
" Teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God,
ye hold the tra'dition of men." Mark 7 7, 8. — :

"O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. * * * They have seen vanity and lying
divination, saying, The Lord saith and the Lord hath not sent them and they have made others to
: :

hope that they would confirm the word ; * * whereas ye say, The Lord saith it ; albeit I have not
spoken."—Eze. 13:4-8.
"To the law and to the testimony : if they speak not according to this word, it is because there
is no light in them." Isa. 8 20. — :

MUSIC— "HOLD TO THE HELM."


1 Stand bythe law once proclaimed from 3 Since by the law we are sinners proved to be,
Sinai Christ has died that we may all be free :
Some its teachings and its force deny : Free from the death which the broken law
What says the Saviour ? now hearken and demands,
obey, But not from obedience to its commands.
"Not one jot or tittle shall pass away."
Chorus : 4 Now if the law was unknown till Sinai,
Stand by the law, stand by the law All were righteous who before did die !
Jesus the law did magnify And, if its precepts by Christ were done away,
Stand by the law if you hope to enter heaven ; There lives not a sinner on earth to-day 1
The law proves us sinners through Christ ;

we 're forgiven. 5 All yearly sabbaths, and offerings the same,


2 Ten —
are its precepts, consider them again, Lost their meaning when the Saviour came
Love to God, and love to fellow-men : But kill the law, and the devil goes to heaven
Four point to God and the duty that we owe, No need of a Saviour, or sins forgiven 1

And six, our relation to mortals show. F. E. Belden.

These words (which appear by special request) were written during the speech ot an Antinomian minister, when
the subject of the law was being discussed publicly, and sung with good effect at the close of the meeting. Although
the last stanza is a conclusion truthfully drawn from the arguments of those who endeavor to show that God's law is no
longer binding, yet it is designed to be sung only on occasions when it will be most effectual to present the absurdity
of the no-law theory, and it is hoped that no offense will be taken at the expressions of truth which these lines contain.

"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter
In through the gates into the city." Rev. 22 14. — :

"Think not that 1 am come to destroy the law. * * * Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle
shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least com-
mandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven but whosoever shall :

do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Matt. 5 17-19. — :

Or, Be banished a-way from his throne ?

THE FOUR UNIVERSAL KINGDOMS.


"Thou, O and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood
king, sawest,
before thee, and the form thereof was terrible. This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of
silver, his belly and bis thighs of brass, his legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sawest till
that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and
brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken to pieces together, and be-
came like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors and the wind carried them away, that no place was found
;

for them and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
: This is the
dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king." Dan. 2 31-36. — :

Interpretation of the Dream.


"Thou, O
king (Nebuchadnezzar), art a king of kings; for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom
(Assyrian, or Babylonian kingdom), power, and strength, and glory. Thou art this head of gold. And after thee
shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee (Medo-Persia), and another third kingdom of brass (Grecia), which
shall bear rule over all the earth. And the fourth kingdom (Rome) shall be strong as iron : forasmuch as iron
breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things, and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
* * * * And as the toes of the feet (the ten divisions of the Roman kingdom, formed between the years
356 and 483, A. D.) were part of iron and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly bro-
ken. And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men;
but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. [For over fourteen hundred years
the ten kingdoms of Europe, with few changes, have remained distinct and separate from each other, notwith-
standing the efforts of emperors and generals to unite them, both by marriage and by force of arms.] And
in the days of these kings ( or kingdoms, as used in the preceding interpretation of the head of gold and the
kingdom that was to follow) shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed : and
the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and
it shall stand forever." —
Dan. 2 : 37-44. It is evident that the kingdom of the God of heaven was not set up
at the first advent of Christ, nearly nineteen hundred years ago, inasmuch as the image was to be smitten upon
the feet by the setting up of that kingdom ; and the feet were not formed by Rome's division into ten parts,
represented by the ten toes, until 483 years after Christ. If his first advent was the smiting of the image, it
should have been smitten near the thighs instead of upon the feet ; for Rome
became absolute mistress of the world
(by the conquest of Egypt) only 30 years before the birth of our Saviour ; and hence, that part of the image should
have been smitten which represented theiirstperiod of Rome's existence, instead of that which represented the last,
if, indeed, the smiting was the first, and not the second, advent of Christ. The "smiting" results in total destruction
and annihilation ef all earthly kingdoms, which will occur at the second coming of Christ.
