 Firm as a rock Thy truth must stand, . 
 
 When rolling years shall cease to move.

 Intent on pleasing Thee. 
 
 2. I ask Thee for a thoughtful love. 
 
 Through constant watching wise, 
 To meet the glad with joyful smiles, 
 
 And wipe the weeping eyes; 
 And a heart at leisure from itself, 
 
 To soothe and sympathise. 
 
 3. I would not have the restless will 
 
 That hurries to and fro.

 Or secret thing to know : 
 I would be treated as a child, •

 To none that ask denied; 
 And a mind to blend with outward life, 
 
 While keeping at Thy side ; 
 Content to fill a little space. 
 
 If Thou be glorified. 
 
 6. And if some things I do not ask 
 
 In my cup of blessing be ; 
 I would have my spirit filled the more 
 
 With grateful love to Thee ; 
 More careful not to serve Thee much, 
 
 But to please Thee perfectly. 
 
 7. There are briers besetting every path 
 
 That call for patient care ; 
 There is a cross in every lot, 
 
 And an earnest need for prayer ; 
 But a lowly heart that leans on Thee 
 
 Is happy anywhere. 
 
 8. In a service which Thy love appoints 
 
 There are no bonds for me ; 
 For my inmost heart is taught the truth 
 
 That makes Thy children free ; 
 And a life of self-renouncing love 
 
 Is a life of liberty.

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

 But richer far our treasure 
 With whom the Spirit dwells, 
 
 Ours, ours in heavenly measure 
 The glory that excels. 
 
 2. The lamplight faintly gleameth 
 
 Where shines the noonday ray ; 
 From Jesus' face there beameth 
 
 Light of a sevenfold day ; 
 And earth's pale lights, all faded, 
 
 The Light from heaven dispels ; 
 But shines for aye unshaded 
 
 The glory that excels. 
 
 3. No broken cisterns need they 
 
 Who drink from living rills ; 
 No other music heed they 
 
 Whom God's own music thrills. 
 Earth's precious things are tasteless, 
 
 Its boisterous mirth repels. 
 Where flows in measure wasteless 
 
 The glory that excels. 
 
 4. Since on our life descended 
 
 Those beams of light and love, 
 Our steps have heavenward tended, 
 
 Our eyes have looked above, 
 Till through the clouds concealing 
 
 The home where glory dwells, 
 Our Jesus comes reveahng 
 
 The glory that excels.

 Absent from Him I roam, 
 Yet nightly pitch my moving tent 
 A day's march nearer home. 
 
 2. My Father's house on high. 
 Home of my soul, how near. 
 
 At times, to faith's foreseeing eye 
 
 Thy golden gates appear ! 
 
 Ah ! then my spirit faints 
 
 To reach the land I love, 
 The bright inheritance of saints, 
 
 Jerusalem above.

 Father, if 'tis Thy will, 
 
 The promise of that faithful word 
 
 Even here to me fulfil. 
 
 Be Thou at my right hand. 
 
 Then can I never fail ; 
 Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand ; 
 
 Fight, and I must prevail. 
 
 4. So, when my latest breath 
 Shall rend tne veil in twain. 
 
 By death I shall escape from death, 
 
 And life eternal gain. 
 
 Knowing as I am known, 
 
 How shall I love that word. 
 And oft repeat before the throne, 
 
 * Forever with the Lord ! ' 
 
 5. The trump of final doom 
 Will speak the self-same word. 
 
 And heaven's voice thunder through the tomb, 
 
 * Forever with the Lord ! ' 1 
 The tomb shall echo deep 
 That death-awakening sound ; 
 
 The saints shall hear it in their sleep, 
 And answer from the ground*

 Once more, * Forever with the Lord ! '

 Then, then from his oppressors 
 
 The Hebrew shall go free, 
 And celebrate in triumph 
 
 The year of Jubilee.

 There none can ever mourn. 
 There nothing is divided,

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

 Never heard of that heavenly home ; 
 I should like them to know there is room for
