PEEFACE

THE union, in 1874, of the Wesleyan Methodists and the Methodist New
Connexion of Canada in one body, under the name of " Tlie Methodist
Cliurch of Canada," and tlio expiration of the copyright of the English
Wesleyan Hymn-Book, the same year, rendered it necessaiy either to adopt
tlie Hymn-Book of some (jther branch of Methodism, or to compile a new
book of praise for the use of the congregations and families of the newly
formed Canadian Methodi^ Church. The subject Avas considered at th«
first General Conference, held in Toronto, in 1874. A Committee was ap-
: pcjinted to ju'epare materials for a new Hymn-Book, and report to the next
General Conference. The report of this Committee, submitted to the General
Conference which met in Montreal, in 1878, dealt mahily with wnat hymns in
the old Wesleyan Hymn-Book should be omitted, and what abbreviations and
-emendations should be made in those retained. The Committee recom-
mended that all the hymns selected for the new Hymn-Book, whether frorj
, the original Collection, or from other sources, should be arranged under
I suitable heads, according to their subjects. After full consideration, the
following resolution was adopted : — " That the licporl of the Hymn-Book Com-
[mittee be adoioted, and that the Committee he re-appcintedy and autlwriaed to
complete and puhtish the Hymn-Book within two years.'"

Having their authority renewed, and their work definitely specified, the
Committee applied themselves to carry out to successful completion the im-
portant task assigned them by the General Conference. The main work still
to be done was the selection of new hymns, and the proper classification of
the whole. In numerous meetings as separate sections, and afterwards in a
protracted session of the Committee, held at Cobourg, during September,
1879, a great deal of prayerful thought and earnest labour were devoted to
the preparation of such a Hymn-Book as would fully meet the requirements
of the Church in all its services. The work was completed and published
l-within the time specified by the General Conference ; and was received with
^ general favour as well adapted for public worship, social services, and private
devotion.

At tlio first Genenil Coufcr;jnoo of The Mothodist Cliurcli, Ii'jM i:i Bcllo-
villo, ill Scpteuioer, 1033, it was uiKiiiimously .agreed " tliat 'Tho ]\rctlH)di3t
Hymn-I5()uk ' U'W used in tho Methodist Churcli of Canada bo adoj)tod hy
all tho congrogatiora ui tlie united Church, and that, in xiv.v: of sucli use, a
suitable preface Lo supplied in ^'uture editions." Tho reasons that lod to tlii.s
decision were, doul^tlcsH, tlie .idiintted excellence of the book itself, and llie
fact tliat it was copyriglited, !ind already extensively ii3cd, by tho largest of
tho uniting Churches.

The general scope and character of this book of praise arc fitlv indicated
by the following par.'igraphs taken from the original preface : —

"The influence of hyunis of praise upon religious life h.-vs been felt and
acknowledged in all ages, and in all branches of the Christian Cluirch. From
the beginning of tho great religious awakening of tho last century to the
present time, the rich treasures of gospel trutli azid Cliristian experience,
embodied in our noble Wesleyan hymns, have boon among the most potent
forces in tho history of Slethodism. Those Ixymns have been a liturgy and a
confession of faith ; promoting the spirit of devotion and soundness in
doctrine, among 'the people called Methodists.' "

*' Tho revision of the 'Collection,' so long used in every section of
Wesleyan Methodism, was tho most delicate and dillicult part of tho work.
It was surrcnnided by many hallowed and cherished associations ; having been
for a century a source of consolation and strength to multitudes of God's
people. The Connnittee, therefore, Avere unanimous in resolving to leave out
no hymn vdiich, by its adaptation to public worship, or private devotion, had
vindicated a right to a place in the psalmody of the Church. But they felt
that hymns Avhich, after a trial of nearly a lumdred years, had revealed little or
no adaptation for use, might be safely omitted, to make place for others of
greater practical value. Some long hymns have been divided ; and others
shortened to a moderate length, by omitting imperfect or inferior stanzas.
In a few instances, where some solecism, or offensive confusion of figures,
marred a beautiful liymn, it was thought better to adopt an appropriate
emendation, than to perpetuate a blemish that could be removed without
lessening the lyrical or devotional value of the liymn.

"In this book, all that constitutes the richness and attractive beauty of
Wesleyan hymnology has been retained; and over three hundred of the
choicest modern and ancient hymns have been added. In tho selection of
r»ew hymns, particular attention has been given to increase the number gf

tliode Buitablo to puhlio worship and special occubiou^, while having careful
regard to lyrical haniiony and doctrinal soundness. Tlio unity and com-
pleteness of the classitioation, the number and excellence of the new hymns,
and the carefully prepared headings, indicating the subject of every hynni,
must greatly enhance the popularity and usefulness of this collection. The
Committee, in presenting tlio result of their labours to the Church, cherish a
confident hope tliat this ITyuni-Book, with its rich variety of grand and in-
82)iring Hongs of praise, will give a new impulse to the worship and devotion
of our people ; and that it will Icjug continue to bo an efiective means of
guiding sinners to the Saviour, and increasing the faith and love of the
thousands who follow Christ under the banners of our Canadian Methodiam."

v./ My great Kcdceiner'a praise,
The glories of my Cod and King,

The triumphs of his grace !

2 My gracious Master and my God,

Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honours of thy Name.

? Jesus ! the Name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease ;
'Tis nuisio in the sinner's ears,
'Tis life, and health, and peace.

4 He breaks the power of cancelled sin,

He sets the prisoner free ;
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for inc.

5 He speaks, and, listening to his voice,

New life tlic dead receive ;
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice;
The humble poor believe.

6 Hear him, ye deaf ; his praise, ye dumb.

Your loosened tongues employ ;
Ye blind, behold your )Saviour come;
And leaj), ye lame, 'or joy.

7 Look unto him, yc nations; o^vn

Your God, yc fallen race;
Look, and be saved through faith alone,
Be justified by grace.

8 See all your sins on Jesus laid :

The Lamb of God was slain,
His soul was once an offering made
For every soul of man.

Their niotions speak thy skill;
And on the wings of every hour
Wc read thy patience still.

On all thy creatures writ ;
They show the labour of thy hands,
Or imprtss of thy feet.

4 But when Ave view thy strange design

To save rebellious worms,
Where justice and compassion join
In their divinest forms ;

5 Here the whole Deity is known,

Nor dares a creature guess,
Which of the glories brightest shone,
The justice, or the grace.

6 Now the full glories of the Lamb

Adorn the heavenly plains ;
Bright seraphs learn Immanuel's name,
And try their choicest strains.

In that immortal song !
Wonder and joy shall tun© my hoarti
And love command my tongue.

Wealth, pleasure, fame, for thee alone;
To thee cur will, soul, flesh, we give;

O take, seal them for thine own !
Thou art the God, thou art the Lord;
Be thou by all thy works adored.

4 Being of beings I may our praise

Thy courts with grateful fragrance
fill;
Still may we stand before thy face,

Still hear and do thy sovereign will :
To thee may all our thoughts arise,
Ceaseless, accepted sacrifice.

And glad drink in the solar fire,
So may we catch thy every ray.

So may thy influence us inspire ;
Thou Beam of the eternal Beam,

2 Bent to redeem a sinful race,
Thou, Lord, with unexampled grac",
Into our lower world didst come,
And stoop to a poor virgin's womb ;
Whom all the heavens cannot contain,
Our God appeared a child of man !

breath,
And dying drawn the sting of death,
Thou didat from earth triumphant rise,
And ope the portals of the skies,
That all who trust in thee alone
Might follow, and partake thy throne.

Thou dost in all his glory reign;
Thou dost, thy Father's image, shme
In all the attributes divine; [come

And thou with judgment clad «halt
To seal our everlasting doom.

Saviour, take our sins away !
Before thou as our Judge appear.
In dreadful majesty severe,
Appear our Advocate with God,
And save the purchase of tliy blood.

When ail thy church shall chant above
The new eternal song of love.

And keep us pure from sin to-day ;

AAvake, and stir them up to pray.
Their dire captivity to own,
And from the iron furnace groan.

Then, then acknowledge, and set free
The people bought, O Lord, by thee !

For whom we in thy Spirit plead :
Let all in thee redemption find.
And not a soul be left behind.

2 He this flowery carpet spread,
Made the earth on which we tread ;
God refreshes in the air,

Covers with the clothes we wear.
Feeds us with the food we eat.
Cheers us by his light and heat.
Makes his sun on us to sliine ;
All our blessings are divine !

3 Give him then, and ever give.
Thanks for all that we receive ;
Man we for his kindness love.
How much more our God above?
Worthy thou, our heavenly Lord,
To he honoured and adored ;
God of all-creating grace.

Take the everlasting praise !

1 T SING the almighty power of God,
L That made the mountains rise.
That spread the flowing seas abroad.

And built the lofty skies.

2 I sing the wisdom that ordained

The sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at his command,
And all the stars obey.

3 All creatures, numerous as they be,

Are subject to thy care;
There's not a place where we can flee,
But God is present there.

4 There's not a plant nor flower below

But makes thy glories known ;
And clouds arise, and tempests blow
By order from thy throne.

5 His hand is my perpetual guard ;

He keeps me with his eye :
Why should I, then, forget the Lord,
Who is for ever nigh ?

The Coronation of Christ.

I A LL hail the power of Jesus' name !

/a. Let angels prostrate fall ;

Bring forth the royal diadem,
/^ And crown him Lord of all.

2 Ye seed of Israel's chosen race,

Ye ransomed from the fall.
Hail him who saves you by his grace,
And crown him Lord of all.

3 Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget

The wormwood and the gall ;
Go, spread your trophies at his feet,
And crown him Lord of all.

4 Let every kindred, every tribe.

On this terrestrial ball.
To him all majesty ascribe.
And crown him Lord of all.

We at his feet may fall ;
Join in the everlasting song.
And crown him Lord of all !

fJ In hell, or earth, or sky ;
Angels and men before it fall.

And devils fear and fly.

2 Jesus ! the Name to sinners dear.

The Name to sinners given ;
It scatters all their guilty fear,
It turns their hell to heaven.

3 Jesus the prisoner's fetters breaks.

And bruises Satan's head ;
Power into strengtliless souls it speaks.
And life into the dead.

4 that the world might taste and see

The riches of his grace !
The arms of love that compass me
Would all mankind embrace.

5 His only righteousness I show.

His saving truth proclaim ;
'Tis all my business here below
To cry, "Behold the Lamb!"

6 Happy, if with my latest breath

I may but gasp his Name ;
Preach him to all, and cry in death,
"Behold, behold the Lamb!"

Nor can the memory find

A sweeter sound than thy blest name,

Of our salvation came ;
The joyful news of sins forgiven,
Of hell subdued, and peace with heaven.

Offered his blood and died ;
My guilty conscience seeks

No sacrifice beside ;
His powerful blood did once atone,
And now it pleads before the throne.

3 O thou almighty Lord,

My Conqueror and my King !
Thy sceptre and thy sword.

Thy reign of grace, I sing ;
Thine is the power; behold, I sit
In willing bonds before thy feet.

4 No^v let my soul arise,

And tread the tempter down ;
My Captain leads me forth

To conquest and a crown :
March on, nor fear to win the day.
Though death and hell obstruct the way.

5 Should all the hosts of death.

And powers of liell unknown,
Put their most dreadful forms

Of rage and malice on,
I shall be safe ; for Ciirist displays
Superior power, and guardian grace.

2 He ever lives above.

For me to intercede,
His all-redeeming love.

His precious blood, to plead ;
His blood atoned for all our race,
And sprinkles now the throne of grace.

3 Five bleeding wounds he bears,

Received on Calvary ;
They pour effectual prayers.

They strongly speak for me :
"Forgive him, O forgive," they cry,
"Nor let that ransomed sinner die!"

4 The Father hears him pray.

His dear anointed One ;
He cannot turn away

The presence of his Son :
His Spirit answers to the blood,
And tells me I am born of God.

5 My God is reconciled.

His pardoning voice I hear,
He owns me for his child,

I can no longer fear ;
With confidence I now draw nigh,
And, Father, Abba, Father, cry !

" The Messiah, the Prince."

MY heart and voice I raise.
To spread Messiah's praise;
Messiah's praise let all repeat ;
The universal Lord,
By wliose almighty word
Creation rose in form ccmplete.

A servant's form he wore,

And in his body bore
Our dreadful curse on Calvary ;

lie like a victim stood,

And poured his sacred blood.
To set the guilty captives free

But soon the Victor rose

Triumphant o'er his foes,
And led the vanquished host in chains ;

He threw tlieir empire down,

His foes compelled to own.
O'er all the great Messiah reigns.

With mercy's mildest grace.

He governs all our race
In wisdom, righteousness, and love r

Who to Messiah fly

Shall find redemption nigh,
And all his great salvation prove.

Hail, Saviour, Prince of Peace !

Thy kingdom shall increase.
Till all the world thy glory see ;

And righteousness abound,

As the great deep profound,
And fill the earth wioh purity.

Is to our Jesus given ;
The King of kings, and Lord of lords,
He reigns o'er earth and heaven.

3 The joy of all who dwell above.

The joy of all below
To whom he manifests his love,
And grants his name to know.

4 To them the cross, with all its shame.

With all its grace, is given ;

Their name, an everlasting name,

Their joy, the joy of heaven.

They reign with him above ;
Their everlasting joy to know

Need neither sin nor fear ;
Hid in our Saviour's hand we lie.

And laugh at danger near
His guardian hand doth hold, protect.

And save, by ways unknown.
The little flock, the saints elect.
Who trust in him alone.

And learn, in meek humility.

Our lessor at thy feet.

And blessings from above ;
And drop, in every listening heart

The Saviour promised long ;
Let every heart exult with joy,
And every voice be song I

2 On him the Spirit, largely shed,

Exerts its sacred fire ;
Wisdom and might, and zeal and love.
His holy breast inspire.

3 He comes ! the prisoners to release,

In Satan's bondage held ;
The gates of brass before him burst,
The iron fetters yield.

4 He comes ! from darkening scales of vice

To clear the inward sight ;
And on the eyeballs of the blind
To pour celestial light.

5 He comes ! the broken hearts to bind,

The bleeding souls to cure ;
And with the treasures of his grace
To enrich the humble poor.

Thy welcome shall proclaim ;
And heaven's exalted arches ring
With thy victorious name.

And sweet seraphic fire
Through all the shining legions ran.
And strung and tuned the lyre.

3 Swift through the vast expanse it flew.

And loud the echo rolled ;
The theme, the song, the joy, was new ;
'Twas more than heaven could hold.

4 Down through the portals of the sky

The impetuous torrent ran ;
And angels flew, with eager joy.
To bear the news to man.

5 Hark ! the cherubic armies shout.

And glory leads the song ; [out

Good-will and peace are heard through-
The vast celestial throng.

6 With joy the chorus we repeat,

" Glory to God on high r
Good-will and peace are now complete,

Though earth, and time, and life shall

On Jewish altars slain.

And richer blood, than they.

Believing, we rejoice
To feel the curse remove ;
We bless the Lamb, with cheerful voice,

Here earth's precious things seem drossy

Here earth's bitter things grow sweet.

Learn thy love while gazing thus ;

Love, which bore the cross for us.

And, rejoicing, self deny;
Here we gather love to live,
Here we gather faith to die.

Still to this our hearts must tend ;
Where our earliest hopes began,
There our last aspirings end ;

'f Lost and undone, for aid I floe;
^V^eary of earth, myself, and sin,
Open thine arms, and take me in !

2 Pity and heal my sin-sick soul;

'Tis thou iilone canst make me ^hole;
Fallen, till in me thine image siiiue,
And lost 1 am, till thou art minu.

3 The mansion lor thyself prepare ;
Dispose my heart by entering tlicre ;
'Tia this alone can make me clean ;
'Tis this alone can cast out sin.

4 At last I own it cannot be

That 1 shouM Ht myself for thee;
Here, then, to thee I all resign ;
Thine is the work, and only thine.

5 What shall I say thy grace to move ?
Lord, I am sin, but thou art love ;

I give up every plea beside, —
"Lord, 1 am lost, but thou hast died.'

\J The helpless all for succoui- came,

An<l found salvation in thy name, —

Can turn my heart and make it clean ;
Purge the foul, inbred leprosy,
And save me from my bosom sin.

Thou canst the saving grace impart ;
Thou canst this instant now forgive.
And stamp th'ne image on my heart.

And bade the sinner live.

And make the sinner wJiole ;
All thy Avill on me be done.

Since first with me he strove,
Obst'iiately disbelieved,

And trampled on thy love.
I have sinned against the light;

I have broke from thy embrace;
No, I would not, when 1 might,

Be freely saved by gi'ace.

3 After all that I have done

To drive thee from my lieart.
Still thou wilt not leave thine own.

Thou wilt not yet depart ;
Wilt not give the sinner o'er ;

Keady art thou now to save ;
Bidd'st me come, as heretofore.

Fury is not in thee !
Thou continuest still the same,

And still thy gra :e is free ;
Still thine arms are open wide.

Wretched sinners to receive ;
Thou hast once for sinners died.

That all may turn and live.

5 Lo ! I take thee at thy word ;

My foolishness I mourn ,
Unto thee, my loving Lord,

However late, I turn ;

Listen to thy speaking blood ;

On my atoning God !

By thy all-piercing beam ; May we our wills resign,

Lighten my eyes with faith, my heart And not a thought our bosom share

With holy hope inilame. ! That is not wholly thine.

From low desires set free ;
Unite my scattered thoughts, and fix
My love entire on thee.

Prayer the sublimest strains that reach

Returning from his ways ;
While angels in their songs rejoice,
And cry, "Jrichold he prays!"

In word, and deed, and mind ;
While with the Father and tlie Son

The slumber from my spirit shake,

And rise to fall no more !

Awake, no more to sleep,

But stand with constant care.

And never, never faint.

My every care and want !

More than I can request ;

My soul to perfect rest.

May fall and weep, like me.

qOLDIERS of Christ, arise,

U And put your armour on ; [plies

Strong in tlie strength which God sup-
Through his eternal Son ;

And in his mighty power.

Who in tlie strength of Jesus trusts.

But take to arm you for the fight,
Tho panoply of God ;
That having all things done.
And all your conflicts passed.

Ye may o'ercome, through Christ alone.
And stand entire at last.

Stand then against your foes,

In close and firm array;
Legions of wily fiends oppose

Throughout the evil day ;

But meet the sons of night.

But mock their vain design.
Armed in the arms of heavenly light,

Of righteousness divine,

Leave no uuguarded place,

No weakness of the soul ;

"pUT, above all, lay hold

On faith's victorious shield ;
Armed with that adamant and golil.

Be sure to win the held ;

If faith surrounds your heart,

Satan sha 11 be subdued ;
Repelled his every liery dart,

And quenched with Jesus' blood.

2 Jesus hath died for you !
What can his love withstand ?

Believe, hold fast your shield, and who

Shall pluck you from his hand ?

Believe that Jesus reigns ;

All pow 'V to him is given ;
Believe, till freed from sin's remains ;

Believe yourselves to heaven !

3 To keep your armour bright.
Attend with constant ctue,

Still walking in your Captain's sight,

And watching unto i)rayer.

Ready for all alarms.

Steadfastly set your face,
And always exercise your arms,

And use your every grace.

4 Pray, without ceasing, pray ;

IN fellowship, alone.

To God with faith draw near ;
Approach his courts, besiege his throne

With all the powers of prayer ;

Go to his temple, go.

Nor from his a' tar move;
Let every house his worship know,

And every heart his love.

To God your spirits dart ;

Your souls in words declare ;
Or groan, to him who reads the heart,

The unutterable prayer ;

His mercy now implore,

And now show forth his praise ;
In shouts, or silent awe, adore

His miracles of grace.

Pour out your souls to God,

And bow them Avith yoiir knees;
And spiead your heart and hands
abroad,

And pray for Sion's peace ;

Yoiu* guides and brethren bear

For ever on your mind;
Extend the at ins of mighty prayer,

In grasping all mankind.

From strength to strength go on.
Wrestle, and fight, and pray ;

Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day ;
Still let the Spirit cry
In all his soldiers, "Come;"

Till Christ the Lord descend from high.
And take tlie conquerors home.

U Whose days a peaceful tenor keep ;
The anointed Son of God makes known

A blessing for the eyes that weep.

And weary hours of woe and pain
Are promises of happier years.

For every dark and. troubled night ;
Though grief may bide an evening

Yet joy shall come with early light.

Though life its common gifts deny.
Though with a pierced and broken

And spurned of men, he goes to die.

On him I lean, who not in vain
Experienced every human pain ;
He knows my wants, allays my fears.
And counts and treasures up my tears.

From heavenly wisdom's narrow way,
To fly the good I would pursue.

Or do the tiling I would not do ;
Still he, \\\\o felt temptation's power,
Shall guard me in that dangerous hour.

3 If wounded love my bosom swell,
Deceived by those I prized too well,
He shall his pitying aid bestow,
W^lio felt on earth severer avop, —
At once betrayed, denied, or fled,
By those who shared his daily bread.

4 And Oh ! when I have safely passed
Through every conflict but the last,
Still, still unchanging, watch beside
My dying bed — for thou hast died ;
Then point to realms of cloudless day,
And wipe the latest tear away.

The Lord protects, for ever near ;
His blood for me did once atone,
And still he loves and guards his own.

I ask in faith his promised aid,
The waves an awful distance keep,

And shrink from my devoted head ;
Fearless their violence I dare ;
They cannot harm, for God is there !

3 To him mine eye of faith I turn.

And through the fire pursue my way ;
The fire forgets its power to burn.

The lambent flames around me play ;
I own his power, accept the sign,
And shout to prove the Saviour mine.

4 When darkness intercepts the skies,

And sorrow's waves around me roll.
When high the storms of passion rise.

And half o'erwhelni my sinking soul,

And hear a whisper, "Peace; be still !"

5 Still nigh me, O my Saviour, stand !

And guard in fierce temptation's hour;
Hide in the hollow of thy hand ;

Show forth in me thy saving power;

On faith's strong eagle-pinions rise,
And force your passage to the skies.

And scale the mount of (Jod.

'A Who suffer with our Master here.
We shall before his face appear.

And by his side sit down ;
To patient faith the prize is sure;
And all that to the end enduro

The cross, shall wear the crovra.

4 Thrice blessed, bliss inspiring hope!
It lifts the fainting spirits up ;

It brings to life the dead ;
Our conflicts here shall soon be past,
And you and I ascend at last,

Triumpliant with our Head.

5 The great mysterious Deity

We soon with open face shall see;

The beatific sight [praise.

Shall fill heaven's sounding courts with
And wide diftuae the golden blaze

Of everlasting light.

The Father shining on his throne.
The glorious co-cternal Son,

The Spirit, one and seven.
Conspire our rapture to complete ;
Aud, lo ! we fall before his feet,

And silence heightens heaven.

In hope of that ecstatic pause,
Jesus, we now sustain the cross,

And at thy footstool fall ;
Till thou our hidden life reveal,
Till thou our ravished spirits fill,

And God is all in all !

So freely spilt for me !

Believing, true, and clean;
Which neither life nor death can part
From him that dwells within :

And full of love divine ;
Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
A copy, Lord, of thine !

5 Thy tender heart is still the same.

And melts at human woe :
Jesus, for thee distressed I am,
I want thy love to know.

Till thou create my peace;

Fi'om every sin I cease.

Immense and imconfined ;

Wide as infinity ;
So wide, it never passed by one,
Or it had passed by me.

But far above the skies,
In Christ abundantly forgiven,
I see thy mercies rise.

5 The depth of all-redeeming love.

The gift unspeakable !

6 Deeper than hell, it plucked me thence ;

Deeper than inbred sin.
His love my sinful heart shall cleanse,
When Jesus enters in.

GREAT God, whose universal svuy
The known and unknown worlds

Now give the kingdom to thy Son,
Extend hia power, exalt his throne.

2 The sceptre well becouies his hands ;
All heaven submits to his commands:
His justice shall avenge the poor.
And pride and rage prevail no more.

3 With power he vindicates the just,
And treads the oppressor in the dust :
His worship and his fear shall last
Till the full course of time be past.

4 As rain on meadows ne\\ly mown,
So shall he send his influence down :
His grace on fainting souls distils,
Like heavenly dew on thirsty hills.

5 The heatlien la ds, that lie beneatli
The shades of ovei'spreading death.
Revive at hia first dawning light;
And deserts blossom at the sight.

Decked m the robes of joy and praise;
Pec.ce, like a river, from liis throne
Shall flow to nations yet unknown.

Doth his successive journeys run ;
His kingdom stretch from shore to

Till suns shall rise and set no more.

For him shall endless prayer be made,
And praises throng to crown hia head ;

5 Where he displays his healing power,
Death and the curse are known no more;
In him the tribes of Adam boast
More blessings than their father lost.

O'er earth's I'ebellious sons he reigns ;
He mildly rules the hosts of heaven,
And holds the powers of hell in chain.s.

3 In vain doth Satan rage his hour;

Beyond his chain he cannot go ;
Our Jesus shall stir up his power,
And soon avenge us of our foe.

4 Come, glorious Lord, the rebels spurn,

Scatter thy foes, victorious King I
And Gath and Askelon shall mourn.

1 TESUS, my all, to heaven is gone,

Ho whom I fix my hopes upon ;
lii3 track I see, and I'll pursue
The nari-ow way, till him I view.

2 The way the holy prophets went,
The road that leads from banishment,
The King's highway of holiness,

I'll go, for all his paths are pe;^c.

3 This is the way I long have sought.
And mourned because I founil it not ;
My grief a burden long has been.
Because I was not saved from sin.

4 The more I strove against its power,

1 felt its weight and guilt the more ;
Till late I heard my fSaviour say,
"Come hither, soul, I am the way."

5 Lo ! glad I come ; and thou, blest Lamb,
Shalt take me to tiice, as I am ;
Nothing but sin have 1 to give ;
Nothing but love shall 1 receive.

G Then will I tell to sinners round,
What a dear Saviour I have found ;
I'll point to thy redeeming blood,
And say, "Behold the way to God."

To die no more, to die no more,

Far, far above the starry sky ;
When from this earthly prison free,
That heavenly mansion mine shall be.

Be mine the happier lot to own

A heavenly mansion near the throne.

may go,
And ask for a share in his love ;
And if I thus earnestly seek him below,
I shall see him and hear him above :

For all who are washed and forgiven ;
And many dear children are gathering

For all the pious dead !
Sweet is the savour of their names.

How calm their slumbers are !
From sufferings and from woes re-
leased,
And freed from every snare :

8 Till that illustrious morning come.
When all thy saints shall rise.
And, decked in full immortal bloom.
Attend thee to the skies.
4 Their tongues, great Prince of Life,
shall join
With their recovered breath.
And all the immortal host ascribe
Their victory to thy death.

W Or shake at death's alarms?
'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends,
To call them to his arms.

2 The graves of all his saints he blessed.

And softened every bed ;
Where should the dying members rest,

But with their dying Head ?
8 Thence he arose, ascending high.

And showed our feet the way ;
Up to the Lord our flesh shall fly.

At the great rising-day.

4 Then let the last loud trumpet sound,
And bid our kindred rise ;
Awake, ye nations under ground ;
Ye saints, ascend the skies.

As careless of the noontide heats,
As fearless of the evening cold.

The short-lived beauties die away.

When youth its pride of beauty

Fairer than spring the colours shine,
And sweeter than the virgin rose.

Or broke by sickness in a day.
The fading glory disappears,

The short-lived beauties die away.

With lustre brighter far shall shine ;
Revive with ever-during bloom,
Safe from diseases and decline.
G Let sickness blast, and death devour,
If heaven must recompense our

And wake to righteousness.

Before me place, in dread array,
The pomp of that tremendous day,

\Vhen thou with clouds shalt come.
To judge the nations at thy bar;
And tell me. Lord, shall I be there

To meet a joyful doom ?

Be this my one great business here.
With serious industry and fear

Eternal bliss to ensure ;
Thine utmost counsel to fulfil,
And suffer all thy righteous will.

And to the end endure.

And reign with thee above ;

And thy vicegerents reign, [sway,

Friend or Sinners, shield and save I
Vain ari3 all our weak endeavours —

Thou our Guide and Helper be !
Star of Hope ! in danger cheer us ;

Help can only come from thee.

2 When the storms of fierce temptation

Wildly SAveep across our way.
And the night of fear and sorrow

Quenches CA'ery starry ray,
Let thy presence, great Redeemer,

Banish all our guilty fear ;
And the joy of thy salvation

Every fainting spirit cheer,

3 When the mists of doubt and passion

Hide the reefs and shoals from sight,
God of Love 1 protect and save us !
Be our Refuge and our Light;

1 A ND can 't be that I should gain

i\ An interest in the Saviour's blood ?
Died he for me, who caused his pain ?
For me, who him to death pursued ?
Amazing love ! how can it be, [me ?
That tljou, my God, shouldst die for

2 'Tis mystery all ! The In\mortal dies !

Who can explore his scrange design V
In vain the first-born oeraph tries

To sound the deptlis of Love Divine !
'Tis mercy all ; let earth adore.
Let angel-minds inquire no more.

3 He left his Father's throne above ;

(So free, so infinite his grace!)
Emptied himself of all but love.

And bled for Adam's helpless race :
'Tis mercy all, immense a'.iil free.
For, O my God, it found out vie!

4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay

Fast bound in sin and nature's night ;
Thine eye dilfused a quickening ray ;

I woke; the dungeon flamed witli
light:
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I xt)3e, went forth, and followed thee.

5 No condemnation uov»' ' dread ;

Jesus, and all in him, is mine !
Alive in him, my living Head,

And clothed in righteousness divine.
Bold I approach the eternal throne.
And claim the crowi; through Christ
my own.
