Start not at its swift decreasing, Tis the fetter'd soul's releasing ; Weep not for me. 2. When the pangs of death assail me, Christ is mine — he cannot fail me, Yes, though sin and doubt endeavor From his love my soul to sever, Jesus is my strength forever! SOLDIER OP THE CROSS. 1. Am I a soldier of the cross, A foU'wer of the Lamb, 4nd shall I fear to own his cause, ^J:Or blush to speak his name? 2. Must 1 be carried to the skies • On flow'ry beds of ease ; While others fought to win the prize. And sail'd through bloody seas ? 3. Are there no foes for me to face ? Must I not stem the flood ? Is this .vile world a friend to grace. To help ifte on to God ? 4.

ON THE CROSS. 1. Behold, behold the Lamb of God, On the cross, on the cross. For you he shed his precious blood, On the cross, on the cross. Now hear his all important cry, " Eloi lama sabacthani ; " Draw near and see your Saviour die, On the cross, on the cross. 2. Behold his arms extended wide, Behold his bleeding hands and side, The sun withholds its rays of light, The heaven's are cloth'd in shades of night, While Jesus doth with devils fight. 3. Come sinners see him lifted up. He drinks for you the bitter cup. To heaven he turns his languid eyes, " 'Tis finished, " now the conquerer cries. Then bows his sacred head and dies. 4. 'Tis done ! the might deofl is done.^ The battle fought the vfctory won, Th{^ rocP.3 do rend, the mountains qnakc. 50 ^3, ic. -} of night, cries, s. quake, While Jesus doth atonement make While Jesus suffers for your sake.' 6. Where'er I go, FJl tell the story. Of the cross, of the cross, In nothing else my soul shall glory, Save the cross, save the cross, Yes, this my constant theme shall be, Through time, and in eternity. That Jesus suffered death for me, 6. Let every mourner come and cling, To the cross, to the cross. Let every Christian come and sing Round the cross, round the cross. Here let the preacher take his stand And with the Bible in his hand, ' Proclaim the triumphs of the Lamb. CAMP-MEETING. TUNE — " JUBILEE TRUMPET. " Within the tented grove, The followers of the Lamb Are met to sing his love, And glorify his name : Believers, let your prayers ascend To him who is the sinner's friend. 2. Under this azure sky. In nature's temple grand ; 'Mid trees and woods to try. The power of his right hand ; Mighty to save I we feel him near, Our Jesus still, for ever dear. 3. The Lord of Hosts is here His banner floats on high. He lends a listening ear ii ii ffmk . ; X^ To catch the feeblest cry : It will prevail : ye need not fear, If uttered from a heart sincere. 4. Send every vain desire, t:\ch trifling thought away ; And no unhallowed fire Upon the altar lay ; Let holy zeal and humble love In every Christian bosom move. 5. Oh, let the fervent prayer Like incense sweetly rise, And on its pinions bear Our offering to the skies ; Through every bosom let it thrill. And every heart with rapture fill. Save, Lord ! on thee we call, Oh, save a guilty race — We at thy footstool fall, To seek thy heavenly grace ; Mercy to sinners freely give, And bid them now repent and live. THE SAINT'S fcWEET HOME. 'Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints How sweet to my soul is eommunion with saints ! To find at the banquet of mercy there's room, And feel in the presence of Jesus at home — Home, home — sweet, sweet home. Prepare me, dear Savior , for heaven, my home. . An alien from God, and a stranger to grace, I wander thro' earth, its gay pleasures to trace. In the pathway of sin I continued to roam, Unmindful, alas! that it led me from home — 11, LI. e. mplaints :h saints ! 3oni, e — home. race, • trace, m, ae — 3. The pleasures of earth I have Been fade away ; They bloom for a season, but soon they decay ; But pleasures more lasting in Jesus are given, Salvation on earth, and a mansion in heaven — 4. Allure me no longer, ye false glowing charms I The Savior invites me— I'll go to his arms ; At the banquet of mercy, I hear there is room ; there may I feast with his children at home — 6. Farewell, vain amusements— my follies, adieu ; While Jesus, and heaven, and glory I view,' 1 feast on the pleasures that flow from his throne, The foretaste of heaven, sweet heaven my home— 6. The days of my exile, are passing away. The time is approaching when Jesus will say. Well done, faithful servant, sit down on my throne And dwell in my presence, for ever at home. 1. Affliction, and sorrow, and death shall be o'er, The saints will unite to be parted no more ; Their loud hallelujahs fill heaven's high dome, They dwell with their Savior forever at home. Home, home — sweet, sweet home — Receive me, dear Savior, to glory, my home. HERE IS NO REST. ^ 1. Here o'er the earth as a stranger I roam, Here is no rest, is no rest, Here as a pilgri- ^ wander alone. Yet I am blest, I am blest ; For I look forward to that glorious day, When sin and sorrow will vanish away , My heart doth leap while I hear Jesus say , There, there is rest, there is rest. 2. Here fierce temptations beset me around ; Hero I am grieved while my foes me iurrouad 'f 10 Let them revile me and scofl'at mr name Laugh at piy wceping-endenvour toTl ame I will go forward for this is my theme ' 3. Here are afflictions and trials severe • Here I must part with the friends I hild dear Sweet ,s the promise I read in his word ' Blessed are they who have died in the Lord They have been called to receive their reward.

W ith heavenly trutli tlie rails are laid ; From earth to hcavou the line extends, lo lite eternal, where it ends. We're going home to die no more. 2.

Repentance is the station, then, Where passengers are taken in ; No fee for them is to be paid— Jesus a full atonement made. 6. Come, then poor sinner, now's the time. At any station on the line ; If you repent and turn from sin The train will stop and take you in. 7. The cars, both numbers one and two. Are entered by "Believe and do ; " Strive, pray, believe, and watdb and read, Be sure you ne'er forget yonr need. WORTH OF PRAYER. 1. What various hindrances we meet In coming to the mercy-seat ; Yet who that knows the worth of prayer, But wishes to be often there ? 2. Prayer makes the darkest clouds withdraw;] PiMyer climbs the ladder Jacob saw : Gives exercise to faith and love ; Brings every blessing from above. 3. Restraining prayer, we cease to fight ; Prayer makes the Christian's armour brighi And Satan trembles when he sees The weakest saint upon his knees. 4. Have you no words ? Ah, think again ; TFords flow apace when you complain, And fill your fellow-creatures cars IVnh the sad tale of all your cares. n .>.

I would not live alway : no, welcome the tomb! Since Jesus hath lain there, I fea^* not its gloom ; There sweet be my rest, till he bid me arise To hail him in triumph descending the skies. 3. Who, who would live alway, away from his God, Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode, Where the rivers of pleasure flow o'er the bright plains. And the noontide of glory eternally reigns ; 4. Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet. Their, Saviour and brethrn transported to greet ; While the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll, And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul ! SKEPTIC, SPARE THAT BOOK, 1. Skeptic, spare that Book, Touch not a single leaf ! Nor on its pages look With eyes of unbelief; 'Twas my forefathers' staj In the hour of agony ; Skeptic, go thy way.

DISCIPLE. Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow thee, Naked, poor despised, forsaken. Thou from hence my all shalt be. Perish every vain ambition, AH I've sought, or hoped or known, Yet how rich is my condition, God and heaven are still my own -"^H^ 9& 2. Let the world despise and leave me ; They have left my Saviour too ; Human hearts and looks deceive me, Thou art not, like them, untrue ; And while thon shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might. Foes may hate, and friends disown me ; Show thy face and all is bright. 3 Go then, earthly fame and treasure ; Come, disaster, scorn, and pain ; In thy service pain is pleasure. With thy favor, loss is gain. I have called thee, Abba, Father, I have set my heart on thee ; Storms may howl, and clouds may gather I All must work for good to me. 4. Soul, then know thy full salvation, Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care, Joy to find in every station Something still to do or bear ; Think what spirit dwells within thee ; Think what Father's smiles are thine j Think that Jesus died to win thee ; Child of heaven, canst thou repine? 6. Haste thee on from grace to glory, Armed by faith, and winged by prayer, Heaven's eternal c'ays before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy early mission, Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days, Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

Once, when my scanty meal was spread, He entered — not a word he spake ; Just perishing for want of bread, I gave him all — he Messed it, brake, And ate, but gav3 me part again : Mine was an angel's portion then ; And while I fed with eager haste, The crust was manna lo my taste. 3. I spied him where a fountain burst Clear from the rock, his strength was goneij The heedless water mocked his thirst, He heard it, saw it hurrying on. I ran and raised the sufferer up, Thrice from the stream he drained my ciip, Dipped, and returned it running o'er ; I drank, and never thirsted more, 4. 'Twas night ; the floods were out ; it blew A winter hurricane aloof; I heard his voice abroad, and flew To bid him welcome to my roof ; I warmed, I clothed, and cheered my guest, Laid him on my own couch to rest, Then made the earth my ted and seemed In Eden's garden while I dreamed. 5. Stripped, wounded, beaten nigh to death, I found him by the highway-side ; I roused his pulse, brought back his breath. Revived his spirit and supplied Wine, oil, refreshment ; — he was healed : I had myself a wound concealed, But from that hour fovot the smart And peace bound up my broken heart. 43 Thltr nn •~^^?''' *^^°°» «^ °^«rn ; And L ^'iJl.^'^''^^^^ ^ stemmed And honored him 'mid shame and scorn • jj7 friendship's utmost ^cal to trt * ^.t^'^J^'^diflforhimwoulddlr' But th. f ""*' ^^*^' "^ ^J«o THE MERCY SEAT, ^'Frnm r''^ '^''"^ ^^° '?i 51 THE GLORY. 1.
