These few pages are divided into two parts. The first part contains hymns in- tended to be sung in the assemblies of the children of God on the first day of the week, and on other occasions when two or three are met together in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The second part contains verses in- tended, not to be sung in the assembly, but to express truth, as well as to convey comfort, instruction or reproof to our hearts, in order that we may walk together in obedience ; so that when met together on the first day of the week to break bread according to the scripture, we may enter into simple happy praise to Christ within the veil. If any of God's dear chil- dren object to anything advanced in this little book, I entreat them in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to tell me of it if the Lord open the way to do so; in order 26840 7 iv. that the truth of Ood may, through His grace, be manifested according to the scrips ture, by the power of the Holy Ghost Who dwells in us. No man is responsible for what is really God's truth ; and no man is entitled to any credit for it. It belongs to God Who can make the stones speak; and He will maintain it. But we are responsi- ble that what we advance is according to scripture ; and a solemn error it is, to bring forward our thoughts, and call them the truth of God, when it is written "if any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God." I am the only person who can be held accountable to the church of God for waht is written in this book. The hymns from page sixty to the end of part one, are intended to be sung at the Lord's Supper. ..^ ;., JoSBPff SCBIVEIT*- J V-ii. \ T PART L '1 ' •■ 2. •i-! Htmn 1. L. M. AwAKJE our strains of holy praise ; Our stranger-songs of glory raise : Let hymns of heavenly worship swell With notes of joy unspeakable. Our hidden life with Christ in God, Makes heaven our birth-place and abode ; And now, as children of the light, We journey through the clouds of night. Then sing within our home above. With joyous voice, that God is love : 'Tis there that our possessions are ; And there is Christ our Morning Star. Amid the gathering darkness here, His precious Name to us how dear ! Lord Jesus, risen from the dead. Our life, our peace, our Hving Head. Hymn 2. C. M. OuE own, our native melodies ! Our music from afar : How sweet, within the heavenhes, The Songs of strangers are ! ■^i" For it is there that Jesus' Name Is honoured and adored, Tho' here reproach' d and put to shame ;- Our Saviour and our Lord. Forevermore at God's right hand, Where Christ for us appears, The pleasures of our father-land Outlive the rolling years. Then sing our native melodies Within the veil above ; And joy in all the tenderness Of God's eternal love. And though outside the camp below These melodies are found ; 'Tis there that love with melting glow, And living joys abound. For there the victory of love Was wrought upon the cross : There Jesus rose, Who dwells above — The fount of all our joys. Hymn 3. 0. M. Steen law, with holy justice told The consequence of sin ; But grace and justice now unfold Where life and peace begin.

Oh praise the Lamb Who bled- Our Saviour Who has died ; For He is risen iroia the dead. And we are justified. Tongue cannot tell our bliss, Through Jesus sanctified : Soon shall we see Him as He is — With Him be glorified. J » V f '. ' r f ,r Hymn 6. 7'fl. Oft repeated eacrifice Never gave the nonscience peace : Sins through each revolving year, Kept the trembUng heart in fear, JesuB Lord, how can we raise Songs that worthily shall praise Thy one holy sacrifice, Once forever to suffice ? Thus the Father's holy will Once forever to fulfil ; Once for all our sins to bear : Oh the love that centred there ! By this offering sanctified, Now Thy washed.

Till then, a royal priesthood now Amid the night we stand : Our one High Priest in heaven Thou, For us at God's right hand. Thou Morning Star, amid the night That reigns around us here ! Thyself our life, Thyself our light, To show Thy coming near. Hymn 8. S. M. No hidden mystery Gave angels their abode In heaven's untainted purity, Around the throne of God. There justice bid them dwell, TJnsuiHed by a stain, And God's eternal glory tell. Where love and justice reigu. But now through us is shown The secret of the blood; How justice fits the guilty one, And brings him nigh to God, . Oh precious mystery !

Forever shall that word endure ; It makes our life forever sure, Eternal now through righteousness, Lord Jesus, by Thy sacrifice.

When Abram, God's acknowledged friend, Pursued that happy path. Arise, ye ransomed saints, And view the things above : Walk through your rich inheritance, The gift of Jesus' love.

We have an altar now, of which Man under law could never taste : The food of Aaron's sons, though rich, Could never equal our repast.

Chosen for their excellence : Precious gold within adorned Cedar boards at vast expense. Now more costly li"viiig stones In a greater temple rise ; — Sunk in death and ruin once, Precious only for their price. We, the priesthood and the house.

One body with the Lord, we wait To see Him as He is, To be Hke Him ; oh, think how great Will be the churches bliss ! How bright will Jesus' glory be, When He'll display abroad The trophies of His victory, The ransom of His blood ! Hymn 93. 0. M. Oh Lord, Thy death is life to us. For Thou art risen again : The love that has redeemed us thus, Eternally shall reign. O'ercome by love, we sing Thy praise, Who once for us wast slain : Thy sprinkled ones, our anthem raise ; For Thou art risen again. Thy love, our Lord, has brought us here To show Thy dying now. To hold Thy promised coming near. And learn Thy voice to know. For we shall soon rejoice to see What now to faith is known : In all its bright reality, Thy coming will be shown. 70 Then all {he church, forever one, In glory wiU display The same eternal union Which here we show to-day. Tes, in eternal uniiy, We show Thy death, our Lord, Till Thou wilt come with certainty. According to the word. Hymn 94. C. M. OuE Saviour's death has taken place ; We know that it is true : This mighty triumph of His grace, We now are met to show. If we believe that He has died And risen from the dead. His word has called us to await What is as plainly said. The Lord Himself from heav'n will come, The dead in Christ be raised ; Caught up with them, we shall go home : Oh be our Saviour praised ! Yes Lord, we know that Thou hast died, We know that Thou art risen ; We know that we are justified ; — Our sins are aU forgiven. And shall the children not rejoice To know that Thou wilt oomei .., /^ 71 And take Thy one, Thy ransom'd church, Forever to our home ? We know that we shall not all sleep, But we shall all be changed : Thy word of promise Thou wilt keep, And prove that grace has reigned. \:.^l^\ ! ij 73 ;.\{ « PART II. • * Not intended to he sung in the OBBemhly of the children of God ' I •) Jesus, I am sorely tempted, Vain of what belongs to Thee ; With Thy dealings discontented, Proud of mock humility ; Full of lust, and full of passion, Full of all that is unclean. Full of falsehood and deception, Blind to all this hateful sin. All my resolutions fail me ; Firm resolves all fade away : Oh how oft my thoughts deceive me, Cheat me of my liberty.

Jesus Lord, 'tis all before Thee, Worse tlian all that I have named, — All the sad disgraceful story ; Yet it makes me not ashamed. Where can aught be found more hateful j Is there anything so base ? a ■ III 74 How can I be so ungrateful, In return for all 1 hy grace ? Let that grace then be my subject, Be the source of all my joy, — Thou alone the fitting object, All my musings to employ. There my heart has full rejoicing : There is liberty and peace : Fountain, Lord, of all my blessing, Joy in Thee can never cease. No, the fle^h can never please Thee : Naught is there but sin and shame : Let us, once for all, believe Thee,* Triumph only in 'I'hy Name. II. From Eomans VI. Let sin not reign because of grace : We, not our sins, are justified ; Then why sliould we indulge in sin. As if our Saviour had not died ? Our Lord, by death, put sin away : 'Twas once ; and now he lives again. No more to die ; then why should sin In these our mortal bodies reign ? * In the sense of John vi. 47, every child of God has once helieved on the Lord Jesu8 Christ, and is saved forever. But in the sense of 2 Tim. ii. 13, we are often unbelieving, and therefore we often go astray; and per- haps in nothing more readily than in imagining tiiat now we shall not be so easily led into sin.
