PREFACE.
THE true child of God ever keeps before his mind three great points-
TRUTH, DUTY, and INTEREST. These three points are so closely con-
nected, that he cannot see any one of them, without, at the same time,
seeing the other two. To be impressed with truth, to be animated to
duty, to be awakened to interest, is the great sum of spiritual blessings
attainable in public worship. It is to this end we engage in the three
leading exercises of the house of God, viz: Preaching, Praying, and Sing-
ing. The minister of the Gospel may preach in such a way that
"Truths divine, come mended from his tongue"-
He may pray with the fervor of an Apollos; but if the songs of Zion
are left off, we feel that an indispensable part of the service has been
omitted. Can this feeling be the result of habit? Habit
may have
something to do with it; but it mainly springs from our consciousness of
the enlivening and edifying effect of good singing upon the heart. When
do we gaze most rapturously through "opening vistas into heaven?"
When do our spirits most ardently long to rise, and dwell on earth no
more?" When do the songs of the redeemed most joyfully thrill our
hearts? Every true Christian's experience answers, as if with one voice,
when we are imitating those blissful strains of adoration, love, and praise.
to Almighty God. The utility of sacred music in awakening and strength-
ening our devotional affections, will, perhaps, only be fully known and
felt, when we once read the records of the Book of Life.
We now offer the TUNE and HYMN BOOK to the Brethren, in the
hope that it may greatly contribute to this desirable end. If it be de-
sirable "that all be in the same mind, and speak the same thing," sure-
ly it cannot be less desirable that all likewise sing the same thing,
that there may be a union in song as well as in doctrine.
When we visit distant branches of the church, and look in vain for
one familiar face, how comfortable we are made, and what a home

feeling we enjoy, and what a deep sympathy springs up in our hearts
for those around us, when we join with them in singing some good
old tune which we learned in our heart's first love!
The Tune and Hymn Book contains nearly all of those venerable
airs that have stood the test of time; together with many of equal
merit that are new, which will likewise soon take their place in the
list of old tunes, and be equally dear to the lambs of the flock, when
they become old, as those are now dear to us.
In the hope that this book may meet with a cordial reception from
the Brethren every where, and thus promote the great objects of true
devotion, it is affectionately submitted by the compilers.

ARRANGEMENT.
The number of every hymn in this book corresponds to the number
of the same hymn in the Brethren's Hymn Book; but the order of the
hymns is not in every case the same. Thus: The regular order would
throw the 14th hymn on the 12th page, but owing to necessity in the
arrangement, the above hymn comes on the 8th page, instead of the 12th.
Again: The regular place for the 13th hymn would be on the 12th page,
but on account of the arrangement, it falls on the 13th page. All similar
changes in the order of hymns will be clearly indicated at the proper
place.

INTRODUCTION.
SINGING, when well performed, is one of the most interesting and edify-
ing parts of Divine Worship; but in order to render it such, we must "sing
with the spirit and with the understanding also."
The union of THREE essential elements is necessary to good singing,
namely:
TONE, TIME, and EXPRESSION;
and to secure this object singers must adhere to
UNIFORMITY in TONE; UNIFORMITY in TIME; UNIFORMITY in EXPRESSION.
At the foundation of tones lies a series of eight notes called the
DIATONIC SCALE.
Do
SI
LA-
SOL-O-
6

FA-A
MI-
RE
-4-
-2
To aid us in securing uniformity in tone we apply cer-
tain syllables or names to the tones of the scale; to the
first sound we apply the syllable do; to the second re;
to the third mi; to the fourth fa; to the fifth sol; to
the sixth la; to the seventh si; and to the eighth do
again, the same as the first, as in the accompanying
Scale. Each note may be known by its figurate form.
The notes are written upon a character called a Staff. The staff is com-
posed of five lines and four spaces. Notes are placed on the lines and in the
spaces; thus each line and each space represents a degree of sound. Each
degree of the staff represents a definite tone, and is known by its name. The
degrees of the staff are named after the first seven letters of the alphabet, and
are counted upward from the lowest, as in the following illustration:

There are two staffs in use,
which are distinguished from
each other by a character
called a Clef. There are two
clefs used, the F clef and the
G clef. When the F clef is
placed on the staff, the first
line represents G, the first
space A, &c; but when the
G clef is placed on the staff, the first line represents E, the first space F, &c.
To aid singers' in securing uniformity in time, and to represent the length
of tones, the notes have certain distinct forms indicating their relative length,
as follows:
Whole Note. Half Notes. Quarter Notes.
Eighth Notes.
Sixteenth Notes.
One whole note is equal in time to two half notes, or four quarters, or eight
eights, or sixteen sixteenths. The same relative length must be allowed to
5

INTRODUCTION.
each note: thus, if we sing the whole note in four seconds of time, the half
note must be sung in two seconds, the quarter note in one second, the eighth
note in a half second, and the sixteenth note in a quarter of a second. But if,
in any piece of music, the whole note is sung in three seconds, the half note
must be sung in a second and a half, and so on.
The notes of a piece of music are divided into equal measures by bars-each
measure containing the same value of notes. There are three bars in common
use, the single bar, the broad bar and the double bar. The single bar divides
the staff into equal time-measures; the broad bar marks the end of a line of
poetry, and the double bar shows where a strain ends that is to be repeated.
When four dots are placed across the staff, the strain following is to be re-
peated --When the letters D. c. are placed over the staff, they indicate a rep-
etition of the first strain again, and closing with that.
Single bar. Measure.
Broad Bar.
Double Bar. Repeat

There are three kinds of TIME in music, namely, Common, Triple, and
Compound Time. There are three varieties of Common Time; two of Tri-
ple, and two of Compound. The first measure of common time is marked
with the fraction 2-2, and contains two half notes in a measure, or their equal
in other notes or rests. The second measure is marked with the fraction 4-4,
and contains four quarter notes in a measure, or their equal in other notes or
The third measure is marked with the fraction 2-4, and contains two
quarter notes in a measure or their equal in other notes or rests.
rests.
The first measure of Triple time is marked with the fraction 3-2, and con-
tains three half notes in a measure, or their equal in other notes or rests; and
the second measure is marked with the fraction 3-4, and contains three quarter
notes, or their equal in other notes or rests.
The first measure of Compound time is marked with the fraction 6-4, and
contains six quarter notes in a measure, or their equal in other notes or rests;
and the second measure with the fraction 6-8, and contains six eighth notes
in a measure, or their equal in other notes or rests.
These divisions of time are all designed to secure uniformity of time in
our singing exercises. A close adherence to these divisions will aid us much
in sucuring good singing.
To secure uniformity of expression, singers should enter into those emotions
which are expressed by the poetry. They should avoid a dull, heavy, unfeel-
ing style of performance, and cultivate that which comes from the heart, which
has some soul, some meaning, and which is appropriate to the words and mu-
sic. For, to "sing with the spirit and with the understanding also," those
heaven-inspiring words in unison with sweet strains of music, is what bas such
a powerful influence over the human mind. And when singers can realize the
subject, and enter into the proper feeling and spirit of the poet, there is but
little danger of not securing uniformity of expression.

1 What is our God, or what his name, Nor men can learn, nor angels teach;
#3
He dwells con-ceal'd in radiant flame, Where neither eyes nor thoughts can reach.
2 The spacious worlds of heavenly light,
Compar'd with him, how short they fall!
They are too dark, and he too bright-
Nothing are they, and God is all.
3 He spoke the wondrous word, and lo,
Creation rose at his command;
Whirlwinds and seas their limits know,
Bound in the hollow of his hand.
4 There rests the earth,there roll the spheres,
There nature leans and feels her prop;
But his own self-sufficience bears
The weight of his own glories up.
3 God's condescension. Matth. 10: 30.
to the Lord, who reigns on high,
And views the nations from afar;
Let everlasting praises fly,
And tell how large his bounties are.
2 He who can shake the worlds he made,
Or with his word, or with his rod-
His goodness, how amazing great!
And what a condescending God!
8 He overrules all mortal things,
And manages our mean affairs;
On humble souls the King of kings
Bestows his counsels and his cares
4 Our sorrows and our tears we pour
Into the bosom of our God;
He hears us in the mournful hour,
And helps to bear the heavy load.
5 0, could our thankful hearts devise
A tribute equal to thy grace,
To the third heaven our songs should rise
And teach the golden harps thy praise.
14 God incomprehensible. Job 11: 7.
REAT God, in vain man's narrow view
Attempts to look thy nature through;
Our lab'ring pow'rs with rev'rence own,
Thy glories never can be known.
2 Not the high seraph's mighty thought,
Who countless years his God has sought,
Such wondrous hight or depth can find,
Or fully trace thy boundless mind.
3 Yet, Lord, thy kindness deigns to show
All that we mortals need to know;
While wisdom, goodness, pow'r divine,
Through all thy works and conduct shine.
4 O, may our souls with rapture trace
Thy works of nature and of grace;
Adore thy sacred name, and still
Press on to know and do thy will.

Ere seas or stars were made;

God over all. Rom. 10: 12.
HE Lord our God is Lord of all;
THis station who can find?
I hear him in the waterfall;
I hear him in the wind.
2 If in the gloom of night I shroud,
His face I cannot fly;
I see him in the evening cloud,
And in the morning sky.
8 He lives, he reigns in ev'ry land,
From winter's polar snows,
To where, across the burning sand,
The blasting meteor glows.
4 He smiles, we live; he frowns, we die;
We hang upon his word;
He rears his mighty arm on high,
We fall before his sword.
5 He bids his gales the fields deform;
Then, when his thunders cease,
He paints his rainbow on the storm,
And lulls the winds to peace.

Holiness of God. Isaiah 6: 3.

Of our eternal King;
"Thrice holy Lord," the angels cry;
"Thrice holy," let us sing.
2 The deepest rev'rence of the mind,
Pay, O my soul, to God;
Lift, with thy hands, a holy heart
To his sublime abode.
3 With sacred awe pronounce his name,
Whom words nor thoughts can reach;
A contrite heart shall please him more
Than noblest forms of speech.
4 Thou, holy God, preserve my soul
From all pollution free;
The pure in heart are thy delight,
And they thy face shall see.

2 Sooner may nature's laws reverse,
Revolving seasons cease their round,
Nor spring appear in blooming pride,
Nor autumn be with plenty crown'd:
3 Yon shining orbs forget their course,
The sun his destin'd path forsake;
And nature lose her rapid force,
Before our God a change can make.
4 Earth may with all her works dissolve,
(If such her great Creator's will;)

8 The truthfulness of God.
1 Sam. 15: 29.
EHOVAH is a God of might,
He fram'd the earth, he built the sky;
And what he speaks is surely right,
"The strength of Israel will not lie!"
2 Ye weary souls, with sin oppress'd.
To him in every trouble fly;
His promise is, "I'll give you rest,"
"The strength of Israel will not lie."
3 Then why sunk down beneath despair?
To Jesus' throne of grace apply;
His promise plead, he'll hear your pray'r,
"The strength of Israel will not lie."
4 Ask what you will in Jesus' name,
He never will your suit deny;
To save you from the curse he came,
"The strength of Israel will not lie."
5 Behold! I come, most gracious Lord,
And on thy promise now rely;
9
In my distress, how sweet this word,
"The strength of Israel will not lie."
Faithfulness of God. Heb. 6: 17, 18.
YE humble saints, proclaim abroad
The honors of a faithful God;
How just and true are all his ways!
How much above your highest praise!
2 The words his sacred lips declare,
Of his own mind the image bear;
What should him tempt, from frailty free,
Blest in his self-sufficiency!
3
He will not his great self deny;
A God all truth can never lie;
As well might he his being quit,
As break his oath, or word forget.
4 Let frighten'd rivers change their course,
Or backward hasten to their source;
Swift through the air let rocks be hurl'd,
And mountains like the chaff be whirl'd:
5
Let suns and stars forget to rise,
Or quit their stations in the skies;
Let heav'n and earth both pass away-
Eternal truth shall ne'er decay.
6 True to his word, God gave his Son,
To die for crimes which man had done:
Blest pledge! he never will revoke
A single promise he has spoke.

With threatening aspect roar;

Before the ample elements
Fll'd up the void of space;
2 Before the pond'rous earthly globe
In fluid air was stayed;
Before the ocean's mighty springs
Their liquid stores display'd.
3 And when the pillars of the world
With sudden ruin break,
And all this vast and goodly frame
Sinks in the mighty wreck;
4 When from her orb the moon shall start,
Th' astonish'd sun roll back,
While all the trembling starry lamps
Their ancient course forsake;
5 Forever permanent and fixed,
From agitation free,
Unchanged in everlasting years,
Shall thy existence be.

For he is good, immensely good,
And kind are all his ways.

But nobler benefits declare

The souls who trust in thee;
Their humble hope thou wilt reward
With bliss divinely free.

Not all the raptur'd songs above

How slow thine anger moves!

COME, ye that know and fear the Lord!
And raise your souls above;

And all his mercies prove;
While Christ, th' atoning Lamb, appears,
To show that God is love.
3 Behold, his loving-kindness waits
For those who from him rove,
And calls for mercy reach their hearts,
To teach them-God is love.
4 The work begun is carried on,
By pow'r from heav'n above;
And ev'ry step, from first to last,
Proclaims that God is love.
5 In all his doctrines and commands,
His counsels and designs--
In ev'ry work his hands have framed,
His love supremely shines.
6 O! may we all, while here below,
This best of blessings prove-
Till warmer hearts, in brighter worlds,
Shall sing that God is love.

Where all my pleasures roll,
The circle where my passions move,
And center of my soul.

God, my Father! cheering name!
MO, may I call thee mine!
Give me with humble hope to claim
A portion so divine.

And bid my sorrows fly;
What real harm can reach my soul
Beneath my Father's eye?

With all their lives and cares,
Are carried downward by the flood,
And lost in foll'wing years.

And whom on earth beside;

Or in whose strength confide.

Ne'er may our souls an object know
So precious as thy love.
3 When heart and flesh, O Lord, shall fail,
Thou wilt our spirits cheer,
Whate'er thy providence denies,
I calmly would resign;
For thou art just, and good, and wise-
O bend my will to thine!
4 Whate'er thy sov'reign will ordains,
O give me strength to bear;
Still let me know a Father reigns,
Still trust a Father's care.

It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,

In thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end!

Yet since we have known the Savior's great name,
In this, our strong tower, for safety we hide;

YOME, let us all unite to praise
levior of mankind P
Our thankful hearts in solemn lays
Be with our voices join'd.
But how shall dust his worth declare,
When angels try in vain!
Their faces vail when they appear
Before the Son of Man.
3 O Lord, we can not silent be;
By love we are constrain'd
To offer our best thanks to thee-
Our Savior and our Friend.
4 Though feeble are our best essays,
Thy love will not despise
Our grateful song of humble praise-
Our well-meant sacrifice.
5 Let ev'ry tongue thy goodness show,
And spread abroad thy fame;
Let ev'ry heart with praise o'erflow,
And bless thy sacred name!

52 The unspeakable gift. 2 Cor. 9: 15.
COME, worship at Emanuel's feet;
Behold in him what wonders meet!
Words are too feeble to express
His worth, his glory, or his grace.
2 He is the Head-each member lives,
And owns the vital power he gives,
The saints below, and saints above,
Joined by his Spirit and his love.
8 He is the vine-his heav'nly root
Supplies each branch with life and fruit;
O! may a lasting union join
My soul to Christ, the living Vine.
4 He is the rock-how firm he proves!
The Rock of Ages never moves;
But the sweet streams that from him flow,
Attend us all the journey through.
5 He is the Sun of Righteousness,
Diffusing light, and joy, and peace;
What healing in his beams appears,
To chase our clouds and dry our tears!
6 Yet faintly to us mortals here,
His glory, grace, and worth appear;
His beauties we shall clearly trace,
When we behold him face to face.

HERE two or three with sweet accord,
Obedient to their sov'reign Lord,
Meet to recount his acts of grace,
And offer solemn pray'r and praise:
2 "There," said the Savior, "will I be,
Amid this little company;
To them unvail my smiling face,
And shed my glories round the place."
3 We meet at thy cammand, dear Lord,
Relying on thy faithful word;
Now send thy Spirit from above,
Now fill our hearts with heav'nly love.

The needful blessings still impart,
And no good thing deny.

My Lord for me did die;
My Lord for me did rise again,
And did ascend on high.

And will return again,
And set me on a glorious throne,
And I with him shall reign.
Transported with the view, I'm lost

Nor is the least a cheerful heart,
That tastes those gifts with joy.
5 Through every period of my life,
Thy goodness I'll pursue;
And after death in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.

A grateful song I'll raise;

Can feel my smallest woe:
Who in each sorrow bears a part
That none can bear below.

No saint on earth its worth can tell,
No heart conceive how dear.

Along this thorny road-

CHILDREN of the heav'nly King,
As ye journey sweetly sing:
Sing your Savior's worthy praise,
Glorious in his works and ways.
2 Ye are traveling home to God,
In the way the fathers trod;
They are happy now-and ye
Soon their happiness shall see.

You on Jesus' throne shall rest:
There your seat is now prepared-
There your kingdom and reward.
4 Fear not, brethren, joyful stand
On the borders of your land;
Jesus Christ, your Father's Son,
Bids you undismayed go on.
5 Lord obediently we'll go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only thou our leader be,
And we still will follow thee.
118 God is present every where.

HEY who seek the throne of grace
Find that throne in ev'ry place;
If we live a life of pray'r,
God is present ev'ry where.
2 In our sickness and our health,
In our want, or in our wealth,
If we look to God in pray'r,
God is present ev'ry where.
3 When our earthly comforts fail,
When the woes of life prevail,
"T is the time for earnest pray'r;
God is present ev'ry where.
4 Then, my soul, in ev'ry strait,
To thy Father come, and wait;
He will answer ev'ry pray'r:
God is present ev'ry where.

He just-ly claims a song from thee,
His

His lov-ing kind-ness, Lov-ing kind-ness, His lov-ing kind -ness, O how free!
2 He saw me ruin'd by the fall,
Yet lov'd me notwithstanding all;
He sav'd me from my lost estate,
His loving kindness, O how great!
3 Though num'rous hosts of mighty foes,
Though earth and hell my way oppose,
He safely leads my soul along,
His loving kindness, O how strong!
4 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,
Has gather'd thick and thunder'd loud,
He near my soul has always stood,
His loving kindness, O how good!

5 I often feel my sinful heart
Prone from my Jesus to depart;
But though I have him oft forgot,
His loving kindness changes not.
6 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale,
Soon all my mortal pow'rs must fail;
O may my last expiring breath,
His loving kindness sing in death.
7 Then let me mount and soar away
To the bright world of endless day,
And sing with rapture and surprise
His loving kindness in the skies.

We will not fear for God's our aid;

He is the Lord whom angels fear;

3 I love to meet him in his court,
And taste his heav'nly love;
But still his visits seem too short,
Or I too soon remove.
4 He shines, and I am all delight;
He hides, and all is pain;
When will he fix me in his sight,
And ne'er depart again.

Thy church displays thy power,
But soon in heav'n I hope to bow,

The advantages of worship.
TERE cares and angry passions cease,
For saints together meet
To spend an hour of prayer and praise
At their Redeemer's feet.
2 No sculptured wonders meet the sight,
Nor pictured saints appear,
Nor storied window's gorgeous light-
For God himself is here.
3 And here are comrades in the war,
With Satan and with sin,
Who now in God's own favor share,
And soon their heaven will win.
4 Glory to God! who deigns to bless
This consecrated day-
Unfolds his wondrous promises,
And makes it sweet to pray.
5 Glory to God! who deigns to hear
The humblest sigh we raise,
And answers ev'ry heart-felt prayer,
And hears our hymn of praise.
90 Grateful acknowledgments. Ps. 116: 12.
THAT shall I render to my God
W For all his kindness shown?
My feet shall visit thine abode,
My songs address thy throne.
2 Among the saints that fill thine house
My off'ring shall be paid;
There shall my zeal perform the vows
My soul in anguish made.
3 How happy all thy servants are!
How great thy grace to me!
My life, which thou hast made thy care,
Lord, I devote to thee.
4 Now I am thine-forever thine,
Nor shall my purpose move;
Thy hand has loosed my bonds of pain,
And bound me with thy love.
5 Here in thy courts I leave my vow,
And thy rich grace record;
Witness, ye saints, who hear me now,
If I forsake the Lord.

Our souls and all our mortal frame;
What lasting honors shall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to thy name?
4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs,
High as the heav'ns our voices raise;

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

Christ upon the mercy-seat.
2 While thy glorious name is sung,
Tune our lips, inspire our tongue;
Then our joyful souls shall bless
Christ, the Lord, our Righteousness.
3 While to thee our pray'rs ascend,
Let thine ear in love attend;
Hear us when thy Spirit pleads,
Hear, for Jesus intercedes.

While we tremble at thy law,
Let thy Gospel's wondrous love,
Ev'ry doubt and fear remove.
5 From thy house when we return,
Let our hearts within us burn;
Then, at ev'ning, we may say,
"We have walked with God to-day."

EHOLD, the bright morning appears,
Band Jesus revives from the grave;
His rising removes all our fears,
And shows him almighty to save.
2 How strong were his tears and his cries!
The worth of his blood, how divine!
How perfect is his sacrifice,
Who rose, though he suffer'd for sin.
3 The Man that was crowned with thorns,
The Man that on Calvary died,
The Man that bore scourging and scorns,
Whom sinners agreed to deride-
4 Now blessed for ever is made,
And life has rewarded his pain:
Now glory has crowned his head:
We sing of the Lamb that was slain.
5 Believing, we share in his joy;
By faith we partake in his rest;
With this we can cheerfully die,
For with him we hope to be blest.
6 When he shall appear in the sky,
To take us to mansions of rest;
We'll join the bright chorus on high,
And lean evermore on his breast.

To show our regard for his will-
To seek, while professing his cause,
"All righteousness here to fulfill."

His perfect example has led :
With the scene at the Jordan in view;
We haste in his footsteps to tread.

And rich was the breath of the wild eglantine;
But sweeter, O sweeter, and far richer were
The joys that I tasted in answer to prayer.

And grace with his presence my humble retreat;
Oft filled me with rapture and blessedness there,
And gave me a foretaste of heaven in prayer.

Fling earthly thought away,
And, in thy closet kneeling,
Do thou in secret pray.
2 Remember all who love thee,
All who are loved by thee;
Pray, too, for those who hate thee,
If any such there be;
Then for thyself, in meekness,
A blessing humbly claim,
And blend with each petition
Thy great Redeemer's name.
3 Or, if 't is e'er denied thee
In solitude to pray,
Should holy thoughts come o'er thee
When friends are round thy way,
E'en then the silent breathing,
Thy spirit raised above,
Will reach his throne of glory,
Where dwells eternal love.
4 O, not a joy or blessing
With this can we compare-
The grace our Father gave us
To pour our souls in prayer:
Whene'er thou pin'st in sadness,
Before his footstool fall:
Remember in thy gladness,
His love who gave thee all.

The grave has been unsealed;
Christ is our life and light.
5 He who for men did weep;
Suffer, and bleed, and die-
First fruits of them that sleep-
Christ has gone up on high.
6 His victory hath destroyed,
The shafts that once could slay;
Sing praise! the tomb is void
Where the Redeemer lay.

But in thy bleeding love;

3 O bid this trifling world retire,
And drive each carnal thought away;

136 There remaineth a rest, etc. Heb. 4: 9.
TINE earthly Sabbaths, Lord we love;
But there's a nobler rest above;
To that our longing souls aspire,
With cheerful hope and strong desire.
2 No more fatigue, no more distress,
Nor sin, nor death shall reach the place
No groans shall mingle with the songs
Which dwell upon immortal tongues;
3 No rude alarms of angry foes;
No cares to break the long repose;
No midnight shade, no clouded sun,
But sacred, high, eternal noon,
4 0, long-expected day, begin;
Dawn on these realms of pain and sin;
With joy we'll tread the appointed road.
And sleep in death to rest with God.

Peace shines and smiles on all below-
The plain, the stream, the wood, the hill-
All fair with evening's setting glow.
4 Season of rest! the tranquil soul
Feels the sweet calm, and melts to love-
And while these sacred moments roll,
Faith sees the smiling heaven above.
5 Nor will our days of toil be long,
Our pilgrimage will soon be trod;
And we shall join the ceaseless song-
The endless Sabbath of our God.

139 Christ the first fruits. 1 Cor. 15: 20.
HIS is the day the first ripe sheaf
Before the Lord was waived,
And Christ, first fruits of them that slept,
Was from the dead received.
2 He rose for them for whom he died,
That, like to him, they may
Rise when he comes, in glory great
That ne'er shall fade away.
3 This is the day the Spirit came
With us on earth to stay-
A comforter to fill our hearts
With joys that ne'er decay.
4 His comforts are the earnest sure
Of that same heavenly rest
Which Jesus entered on, when he
Was made for ever blest.
5
2 0, what a night was that which wrapped
A sinful world in gloom!
O, what a sun which broke, this day,
Triumphant from the tomb!
3 On this glad day, a brighter scene
Of glory was displayed
By God's unbounded love, than when
The universe was made.
4 He rose who hath the nations bought
With pain and grief extreme:
'Twas great to speak the world from nought;
'T was greater to redeem.
140 A present rest.
65
Heb. 4: 3.
10-DAY God bids the faithful rest,
To-day he showers his grace;
Seek ye my face, the Lord hath said;
Lord, we will seek thy face.
2 Come, let us leave the things on earth,
With God's assembly join;
Lo, heaven descends to welcome man,
To taste the things divine!
3 We come, dear Savior, lo, we come,
Lord of our life and soul!
We come diseased, and faint, and sick,
Be pleased to make us whole.
4 We thirst and flee to thee, O Lord!
Thou fountain-head of good!
Filthy we come, and all unclean;
O cleanse us in thy blood!
5 O may we please our God to-day;
May that be all our care!
Give, Lord, thy grace, lest evil thoughts
Should mingle in our prayer.
6 Amid th' assembly of thy saints
Let us be faithful found:
And let us join in humble prayer,
And in thy praise abound.

Psalm 119: 24.
ATHER of mercies, in thy word
What endless glory shines!
For ever be thy name adored
For these celestial lines.
2 Here may the wretched sons of want
Exhaustless riches find;
Riches above what earth can grant,
And lasting as the mind.
3 Here the fair tree of knowledge grows,
And yields a free repast;
Sublimer sweets than nature knows,
Invite the longing taste.
4 Here the Redeemer's welcome voice
Spreads heavenly peace around;
And life and everlasting joys
Attend the blissful sound.
5 O may these heavenly pages be
My ever dear delight;
And still new beauties may see,
And still increasing light!

Amidst a world of cares;
Incline my heart to pray with love,
And then accept my prayers.
3 Release my soul from every chain,
No more hell's captive led;
And pardon a repenting child,
For whom the Savior bled.
Spare me, O God, O spare the soul
That gives itself to thee;
Take all that I possess below,
And give thyself to me.
5 Thy Spirit, O my Father, give,
To be my guide and friend,
To light my way to ceaseless joys,
Where Sabbaths never end.
144 The riches of God's word. Psalm 19: 10.

2 Here mines of knowledge, love and joy,
Are opened to our sight:
The purest gold without alloy,
And gems divinely bright.
3 The counsels of redeeming grace
These sacred leaves unfold,
And here the Savior's lovely face
Our raptured eyes behold.
4 Here light, descending from above,
Directs our doubtful feet;
Here promises of heavenly love
Our ardent wishes meet.
5 Our numerous griefs are here redressed,
And all our wants supplied;
Nought we can ask to make us blest
Is in this book denied.

And always keep it clean and fair;
And never let it once be told,

HE worth of truth no tongue can tell,
TT will do to buy, but not to sell;
A large estate that soul has got,
Who buys the truth, and sells it not.
2 Truth, like a diamond, shines most fair,
More rich than pearls and rubies are,
More worth than gold and silver coin,
O may it ever in us shine!
'T is here his richest mercy shines,
And truth is drawn in fairest lines.
2 Wisdom its dictates here imparts,
To form our minds, to cheer our hearts;
Its influence makes the sinner live;
It bids the drooping saint revive.
3
Our raging passions it controls,
And comfort yields to contrite souls;
3 'Tis truth that binds, and truth makes free, It brings a better world in view,
And sets the soul at liberty
From sin and Satan's heavy chain,
And then within the heart doth reign."
4 They have a freedom then indeed,
That doth all freedom else exceed;
And guides us all our journey through.
4 May this blest volume ever lie,
Close to my heart and near my eye,
Till life's last hour my soul engage,
And be my chosen heritage.

HE law by Moses came,
But peace, and truth, and love,
Were brought by Christ (a nobler name)
Descending from above.
2 Amidst the house of God
Their different works were done:
Moses a faithful servant stood,
But Christ a faithful Son.
3 Then to his new commands,
Be strict obedience paid;
O'er all his Father's house he stands,
The sovereign and the head.
4 The man that durst despise
The law that Moses brought,
Behold, how terribly he dies,
For his presumptuous thought.
5 But sorer vengeance falls
On that rebellious race,
Who hate to hear when Jesus calls,
And dare resist his grace.

D'R
Luke 19: 41.
ID Christ o'er sinners weep,
And shall our cheeks be dry?
Let tears of penitential grief
Flow forth from every eye.

The wondering angels see;
Be thou astonished, O, my soul,
He shed those tears for thee.
3 He wept that we might weep,
Each sin demands a tear;
In heaven alone no sin is found
And there's no weeping there.

Rev. 2: 10.
HEN we pass through yonder river,
When we reach the farther shore,
There's an end of war for ever;
We shall see our foes no more;
All our conflicts then shall cease,
Follow'd by eternal peace.
2 After warfare, rest is pleasant:
O how sweet the prospect is!
Though we toil and strive at present,
Let us not repine at this:
Toil, and pain, and conflict past,
All endear repose at last.
3 Yes, sweet Bible! I will hide thee
Deep, yes, deeper in this heart;
Thou through all my life wilt guide me,
And in death we will not part!
Part in death! no, never, never!
Through death's vale I'll lean on thee;
Then, in brighter worlds, for ever,
Sweeter far thy truths shall be.
"Precious Bible," next page.
3 When we gain the heavenly regions,
When we touch the heavenly shore-
Blessed thought!-no hostile legions
Can alarm or trouble more:
Far beyond the reach of foes,
We shall dwell in sweet repose.

"T is his people's blest reward;
In the Savior's strength victorious,
They at length behold their Lord:
In his kingdom they shall rest,
In his love be fully blest.

2 Such is thy glorious word, O God!
'Tis for our light and guidance giv'n;
It sheds a lustre all abroad,
And points the path to bliss and heav'n.
3 It fills the soul with sweet delight,
And quickens its inactive pow'rs:
It sets our wandering footsteps right-

4 Its promises rejoice our hearts;

Grows tarnished in our earthly grasp;
Pure in itself, without a flaw,
It dims in our too worldly clasp.
3 We handle it with unwashed hands;
We stain it with unhallowed breath;
We gloss it with device of man's,
And hide thine image underneath.
4 Forgive the sacrilege, and take
From off our souls th' unworthy stain;
And show us, for thy Son's dear sake,
Thy pure and perfect law again.
154 The progress of truth. Psalm 19: 4.
PON the gospel's sacred page,
The gathered beams of ages shine;
And, as it hastens, every age
But makes its brightness more divine.
2 On mightier wings, in loftier flight,
From year to year does knowledge soar;
And, as it soars, the gospel light
Adds to its influence more and more.
3 More glorious still, as centuries roll,
New regions bless'd, new pow'rs unfurl'd,
Expanding with th' expanding soul,
Its waters shall o'erflow the world;
Ye saints, who feel its saving pow'r,
Unite your tongues to praise the Lord,
And his distinguished grace adore.
4 Flow to restore, but not destroy;
As when the cloudless lamp of day
Pours out its flood of light and joy,
And sweeps each ling'ring mist away.

At the mercy seat above;
Ever for me interceding,
Constant in untiring love.

Joys unearthly, love and light;
And to cover me he spreadeth
His paternal wing of night.
5 Yes, in me, in me he dwelleth;
I in him, and he in me!
And my empty soul he filleth,

Such the tranquil song of even.

Is born, of David's line,
The Savior, who is Christ the Lord,
And this shall be the sign:

To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid."

Appeared a shining throng
Of angels, praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song:

Would all mankind embrace.

His saving truth proclaim:

Preach him to all, and cry, in death,
"Behold, behold the Lamb!"

The Spirit of truth.
HOU, long disowned, reviled, opprest,
Strange friend of human kind,
Seeking through weary years a rest
Within our hearts to find;
2 How late thy bright and awful brow
Breaks through these clouds of sin!
Hail, Truth, Divine! we know thee now,
Angel of God, come in!
3 Come, though with purifying fire,
And desolating sword,
Thou of all nations the desire !
Earth waits thy cleansing word.
4 Struck by the lightning of thy glance,
Let old oppressions die;
Before thy cloudless countenance
Let fear and falsehood fly.
5 Anoint our eyes with healing grace,
To see, as ne'er before,
Our Father in our brother's face,
Our Maker in his poor.
6 Flood our dark life with golden day;
Convince, subdue, enthrall:
Then to a mightier yield thy sway,
And Love be all in all.
151
The reasoning of the Gospel.
HALL atheists dare insult the cross
S of our Redeemer God?
Shall infidels reproach his laws,
Or trample on his blood?
2 What if he chose mysterious ways
To cleanse us from our faults?
May not the works of sov'reign grace
Transcend our feeble thoughts?
3 What if the gospel bids us fight
With flesh, and self, and sin?
The prize is most divinely bright,
Which we are called to win?
4 What if the foolish and the poor
His glorious grace partake?
This but confirms his truth the more,
For so the prophets spake.
5 Do some that own his sacred name,
Indulge their souls in sin?
Jesus should never bear the blame;
His laws are pure and clean.
6 Then let our faith grow firm and strong;
Our lips profess his word;
Nor blush, nor fear to walk among
The men that love the Lord.
170 He made himself of no reputation.
Phil. 2: 7.
H His scepter clad with pow'r;
E came not with his heavenly crown,
His Coming was in feebleness,
The infant of an hour.
2 An humble manger cradled first,
The Virgin's holy birth,
And lowing herds surrounded there
The Lord of heav'n and earth.
3 He came, not in his robe of wrath,
With arm outstretch'd to slay;
But on the darkling paths of earth,
To pour celestial day-
4 To guide in peace the wand'ring feet,
The broken heart to bind,
And bear upon the painful cross,
The sins of human kind.
5 And thou hast borne them, Savior meek!
And therefore unto thee,
In humbleness and gratitude,
Our hearts shall offer'd be;
6 Our contrite hearts, an off'ring, Lord,
Which thou wilt not despise,
Our souls, our bodies, all be thine,
A living sacrifice!

The chief among ten thousand.
Cant. 5: 10.
AJESTIC sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Savior's brow;
His head with radiant glories crowned,
His lips with grace o'erflow.
2 No mortal can with him compare
Among the sons of men;
Fairer is he than all the fair
Who fill the heavenly train.
3 He saw me plunged in deep distress,
And flew to my relief;
For me he bore the shameful cross,
And carried all my grief.
4 To him I owe my life and breath,
And all the joys I have;
He makes me triumph over death,
And saves me from the grave.
186
Christ, a merciful High Priest.
Heb. 4: 14.
ITH joy we meditate the grace
WIT
Of our High Priest above;
His heart is full of tenderness:
His bosom glows with love.
2
Touched with a sympathy within,
He knows our feeble frame:
He knows what sore temptations mean,
For he has felt the same.
3 He in the days of feeble flesh,
Poured out his cries and tears,
And in his measure feels afresh
What every member bears.
4 Then let our humble faith address
His mercy and his power;
79
We shall obtain delivering grace
In each distressing hour.

Psalm 45: 2.

H From lips of gentleness and grace,
When listening thousands gathered round,

To heaven he led his followers' way;
Dark clouds of gloomy night he broke,
Unvailing an immortal day.
3 "Come, wand'rers, to my Father's home:
Come, all ye weary ones, and rest;"
Yes, sacred Teacher, we will come,
Obey thee, love thee, and be blest.

A nobler mansion waits the just,
And Jesus has prepared the way.

Such deference to thy Father's will,
Such love, and meekness so divine,

4 Deep horror then my vitals froze,
Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem;
When suddenly a Star arose-

It bade my dark forebodings cease;
And through the storm and danger's thrall,
It led me to the port of peace.

To take my mansion in the skies-
E'en then shall this be all my plea,

JESUS! the very thought is sweet
In that dear name all heart-joys meet;
But sweeter than the honey far
The glimpses of his presence are.
2 No word is sung more sweet than this;
No name is heard more full of bliss;
No thought brings sweeter comfort nigh,
Than Jesus, Son of God, most high.
3 Jesus, the hope of souls forlorn!
'T is midnight, in the garden now
The suff'ring Savior prays alone.
2 'T is midnight-and from all removed,
Immanuel wrestles lone with fears;
E'en the disciple that he loved,
Heeds not his Master's grief and tears.
3 'T is midnight-and, for others' guilt,
The Man of Sorrows weeps in blood;
Yet He who hath in anguish knelt,
Is not forsaken by his God...
'T is midnight-and, from ether-plains,
Is borne the song that angels know;
Unheard by mortals are the strains

That we might come to God again?
2 All human language wants a name
For this unfathomed, wondrous love:
This pure, immortal, fervent flame,
Sprang only from the God above.
3 What can we add, our speech is faint;
We sink beneath the pond'rous load;
This love no eloquence can paint;
'T is grand; 't is worthy of a God.
4 O'erwhelmed with this abyss of love,
We stand astonished at the grace
That brought the Savior from above,
To die for all the fallen race!
5 Did our Immanuel die for us?
What more can be by sounds exprest?
For sinners Christ was made a curse:
Eternity must tell the rest.

Hark! his expiring groans arise:
See, from his hands, his feet, his side,
Runs down the sacred crimson tide.
2 But life attends the deathful sound,
And flows from every bleeding wound;
The vital stream, how free it flows,
To cleanse and save his rebel foes!
3 Can I survey this scene of woe,
How good to them for sin that mourn;
To them that seek thee, O how kind!
But what art thou to them that find?
4 No tongue of mortal can express,
No letters write its blessedness;
Alone, who hath thee in his heart
Knows, love of Jesus, what thou art.

One Phy-si- cian, Can cure a sin-sick soul: Next door to death he found me, And
plucked me from the grave, To tell to all around me, His wondrous power to save.
2 Of men great skill possessing,
I thought a cure to gain,
But that proved more distressing,
And added to my pain;
Some said that nothing ailed me,
Some gave me up for lost;
Thus every refuge failed me,
And all my hopes were crossed.
3 At length this great Physician-
How matchless is his power-
Accepted my petition,
And undertook my cure;
First gave me sight to view him,
For sin my sight had sealed,
Then bid me look unto him,
I looked, and I was healed.
4 A bleeding, dying Jesus,
Seen by an eye of faith,
At once from sin he frees us,
And saves our souls from death.
Come, then, to this Physician,
His help he'll freely give;
He makes no hard condition,
'Tis only-Look and live.

And shut his glories in,

For man, the creature's sin.

While his dear cross appears,

And earth's strong pillars bend;
The temple's vail in sunder breaks,
The solid marbles rend.

See where he bows his sacred head,

2 He ever lives above,
For me to intercede;
With his redeeming love,
His precious blood to plead :
His blood was spilt 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 can not turn away
The presence of his Son;
His Spirit answers to the blood,
And tells sme, I a am born of God.
5 To God I'm reconciled,
His pard'ning 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!

And wide unfold the radiant scene;
He claims those mansions as his right-
Receive the King of glory in!

The Lord who all his foes o'ercame:
The world, sin, death and hell o'erthrow,
And Jesus is the Conqueror's name.

And angels chant the solemn lay;

Above the mountains and the hills,

All tribes and tongues shall flow;
"Up to the hill of God," they say,
"And to his courts we'll go."

Thall lighten every land;
The King who reigns in Zion's towers,
Shall all the world command.
4 Among the nations he shall judge;
His judgments truth shall guide;
His scepter shall protect the just,
And crush the sinner's pride.
5 No war shall rage, no hostile feuds
Disturb those peaceful years:
To plowshares men shall beat their swords,
To pruning hooks their spears.
6 Come, then, O house of Jacob, come,
And worship at his shrine;
And, walking in the light of God,
With holy beauties shine.

Who wast, and art, and art to come:
Jesus, the Lamb, who once was slain,
For ever live, for ever reign!
3 The angry nations fret and roar,
That they can slay the saints no more;
But now has come the day of God,
To pay the long arrears of blood.
4 Now must the rising dead appear;
Now the decisive sentence hear;
Now the dear martyrs of the Lord
Receive an infinite reward.
210 The day of the Lord will come.
HE Lord will come, the earth shall quake,
T The hills their fixed seat forsake,
And withering from the vault of night,
The stars withdraw their feeble light.
2 The Lord will come, but not the same
As once in lowly form he came;
A silent Lamb to slaughter led,
The bruis ed, the suffering, and the dead.
3 The Lord will come, a dreadful form,
With wreath of flame and robe of storm;
On cherub wings, and wings of wind,
Anointed Judge of human kind.
4 Can this be he who wont to stray
A pilgrim on the world's highway,
By power oppressed, and mocked by pride?
O God, is this the Crucified?

The saints, ascending from the tomb,
Shall joyful sing, "The Lord is come."

WH
WHAT contradictions meet
In ministers' employ !
It is a bitter sweet,
A sorrow full of joy;
No other post affords a place
For equal honor or disgrace.
2 Who can describe the pain
Which faithful preachers feel,
Constrain'd to speak in vain
To hearts as hard as steel?
Or who can tell the pleasures felt
When stubborn hearts begin to melt?
3 If some small hope appear,
They still are not content;
But with a jealous fear,
They watch for the event:
Too oft they find their hopes deceived;
Then how their inmost souls are griev'd!
4 But when their pains succeed,
And from the tender blade
The ripening ears proceed,
Their toils are overpaid:
No harvest joy can equal theirs,
To find the fruits of all their cares.

And lead the tribes, thy chosen sheep,
Safe through the desert and the deep:
2 Thy church is in the desert now;
Shine from on high, and guide us through;
Turn us to thee, thy love restore-
We shall be saved, and sigh no more.
Great God, whom heavenly hosts obey,
And wait in vain thy kind return?
How long shall we lament and pray,
How long shall thy fierce anger burn?

As day break after night-

A new and holy name.
4 The watchmen on her walls appear,,
And day and night proclaim,

The night of death and bondage flies;

Awakes to glorious day;
Her desert wastes with verdure bloom,
Her shadows flee away.

As though such things were not.
3 But days shall come when Israel's feet
A holier path shall tread,
And Judah's crown and hope shall meet
Upon her holiest head.
4 Gathered from far, her tribes shall own
That David's Lord and Son
Should sit a king on David's throne,
Their last, their noblest one.

Till the wide earth shall hear:

And Israels Triumph's near.

And answer that day,
For every vain and idle thought,
And every word I say?

Shall shortly be made known,
And I receive my just desert,
For all that I have done.
3 How careful then ought I to live,
With what religious fear!
Who such a strict account must give,
For my behavior here.
4 Thou awful Judge of quick and dead,
Thy watchful power bestow!
So shall I to my ways take heed,
To all I speak or do.

And make my peace with God before,

And there, all who the palm-wreathes of victory wear!
3 The trumpet! the trumpet! the dead have all heard:
Lo! the depths of the stone covered charnel are stirred!
From the sea, from the earth, from the south, from the north,
All the vast generations of men are come forth.

Where the Lamb and the bright crowned elders are met!
There all flesh is at once in the sight of the Lord,
And the doom of eternity hangs on his word.

The sure foundation Isaiah 28:16.
EHOLD the sure foundation stone,
Which God in Zion lays,
To build our heavenly hopes upon,
And his eternal praise.
2 Chosen of God, to sinners dear,
Let saints adore the name;
They trust their whole salvation here,
Nor shall they suffer shame.
3 The foolish builders, scribe and priest,
Reject it with disdain;
Yet on this rock the church shall rest,
And envy rage in vain.

Yet must this building rise;
'Tis thine own work, almighty God,
And wondrous in our eyes.

2 O God of life, and truth, and grace,
Ere nature was begun!
Make welcome to our erring race
Thy Spirit and thy Son.
3 We hail the church, built high o'er all
The heathens' rage and scoff;
Thy providence its fenced wall.
"The Lamb the light thereof."

With his rebuke and love-
A brightness o'er this lower sphere,
A ray from worlds above!

Heaven and earth shall flee away;
All who hate him must, confounded,

All his saints by man rejected,
Now shall meet him in the air,

Psalm 125: 2.
VION stands with hills surrounded-

All her foes shall be confounded,
Though the world in arms combine:
Happy Zion,
What a favored lot is thine!
2 Every human tie may perish;
Friend to friend unfaithful prove;
Mother's cease their own to cherish;
Heaven and earth at last remove;
But no changes
Can attend Jehovah's love.
3 In the furnace God may prove thee,
Thence to bring thee forth more bright,
But can never cease to love thee;
Thou art precious in his sight:
God is with thee-

2 No wider is the gate,

3 No sweeter is the cup,

"T was tribulation ages since,
"T is tribulation still.
4 No slacker grows the fight,
No feebler is the foe,
Nor less the need of armor tried,
Of shield, and spear, and bow.
5 Thus onward still we press,
Through evil and through good-
Through pain, and poverty, and want,
Through peril and through blood.
6 Still faithful to our God,
And to our Captain true,
We follow where he leads the way,
The kingdom in our view.

1 Peter 3: 21.
IKE Noah s weary dove,
That soared the earth around,
But not a resting-place above
The cheerless waters found-
2 O cease, my wandering soul,
On restless wing to roam;
All the wide world to either pole
Has not for thee a home.
3 Behold the Ark of God,
Behold the open door;
Hasten to gain that dear abode,
And rove, my soul, no more.
4 There safe thou shalt abide,
There sweet shall be thy rest,
Thy soul shall there be satisfied,
With full salvation blest.
5 And when the waves of ire,
Again the earth shall fill,
The ark shall ride the sea of fire,
Then rest on Zion's hill.
263 A prayer for a minister. 1 Thess. 5: 25.

G His every step attend;
All needful help to him afford,
And bless him to the end.
2 Preserve him from all wrong;
Stand thou at his right hand;
And keep him from the slanderous tongue
And persecuting band.
3 May he proclaim aloud
The wonders of thy grace;
And do thou, to the listening crowd,
His feeble labors bless.
4 Farewell, dear laborer, go;
We part with thee in love;
And if we meet no more below,
Oh may we meet above.

2 Dear Savior, from thy bleeding veins
A living fountain flows,
To wash thy bride from all her stains,
And soothe her deepest woes.
3 Cleansed from her sins, renewed by grace,
Thy royal throne above,
Dear Savior, is her destined place-
Her sweet abode thy love.
4 Thine eye, in that unclouded day,
Shall, with supreme delight,
Thy fair and glorious bride survey,
Unblemished in thy sight.
238 A figurative representation of the church.
Canticles 6: 10.
SAY, who is she that looks abroad,
Like the sweet blushing dawn;
When, with her living light, she paints
The dew-drops of the lawn?
2 Fair as the moon, when in the skies
Serene her course she guides,
And o'er the twinkling stars supreme
In full-orbed glory rides;
3 Clear as the sun, when from the east
Without a cloud he springs,
And scatters boundless light and heat
From his resplendent wings;
4 Tremendous as a host that moves
Majestically slow,
With banners wide displayed all armed,
All aident for the foe;
5 This is the church, by heaven arrayed,
With strength and grace divine;
Thus shall she strike her foes with dread,
And thus her glories shine.
241 Sinai and Zion Heb. 12: 22.
OT to the terrors of the Lord,
N The tempest, fire and smoke;
Not to the thunder of that word
Which God on Sinai spoke;
2 But we are come to Zion's hill,
The city of our God.
Where milder words declare his will,
And spread his love abroad.
3 Behold th' innumerable host
Of angels clothed in light!
Behold the spirits of the just,
Whose faith is turned to sight!
4 Behold the blest assembly there,
Whose names are writ in heaven!
And God, the Judge of all, declare
Their num'rous sins forgiven.
5 In such society as this
My weary soul would rest!
The man that dwells where Jesus is,
Must be for ever blest.

Thine holy courts are his

2 Thy walls are strength, and at thy gates
A guard of heavenly warriors waits;
Nor shall thy deep foundation move,
Fix'd on his counsels and his love.
3 Thy foes in vain designs engage;
Against thy throne in vain they rage
Like rising waves with angry roar,
That break and die upon the shore.
4 Then let our souls in Zion dwell,
Nor fear the wrath of earth and hell,
His arms embrace this happy ground,
Like brazen bulwarks built around.
5 God is our Shield, and God our Sun;
Swift us the fleeting moments run,
On us he sheds new beams of grace,
And we reflect his brightest praise.

243 The wheat and the tares.
Matt 13: 24-30.
HOUGH in the earthly church below
The wheat and tares together grow,
Jesus ere long will weed the crop,
And pluck the tares in anger up.
2 Will it relieve their horrors there,
To recollect their stations here?
How much they heard,how much they knew,
How long among the wheat they grew?
3 Othis will aggravate their case!
They perish under means of grace;
To them the word of life and faith
Became an instrument of death.
4 We seem alike when thus we meet-
Strangers might think we all were wheat;
But to the Lord's all-searching eyes
Each heart appears without disguise.
5 But though they grow so tall and strong,
His plan will not require them long;
In harvest, when he saves his own,
The tares shall into hell be thrown.
249 A prayer for a church newly organized.
LORD, bless thy saints assembled here,
In solemn covenant now to join;
Unite them in thy holy fear,
And in thy love their hearts combine,
2 O give this church a large increase
Of such as thou wilt own and bless;
Lord, fill their hearts with joy and peace,
And clothe them with thy righteousness.
3 Make her a garden walled with grace,
A temple built for God below,
Where thy blest saints may see thy face;
And fruits of thy blessed Spirit grow.

2 Her pastors love to live at ease;
They covet wealth and honor;
And while they seek such things as these,
They bring reproach upon her.
Such worthless objects they pursue,
Warmly and undiverted;
The church they lead, and ruin, too-
Her glory is departed.
3 Her private members walk no more
As Jesus Christ has taught them:
Riches and fashion they adore-
With these the world has bought them.
The Christian name they still retain,
Absurdly and false-hearted;
And while they in the church remain,
Her glory is departed.
4 And has religion left the church,
Without a trace behind her?
Where shall I go, where shall I search,
That I once more may find her?
Adieu! ye proud, ye light and gay!
I'll seek the broken-hearted,
Who weep when they of Zion say,
Her glory is departed.
5 Some few, like good Elijah, stand,
While thousands have revolted;
In earnest for the heavenly land,
They never yet have halted.
With such religion doth remain,
For they are not perverted;

The glory that's departed.

The world admires her heavenly dress,
Her robe of joy and righteousness.

He calls and seats her near his throne:
Fair stranger, let thine heart forget.

OD named Love, whose fount thou art,
Thy crownless church before thee stands,
With too much hating in her heart
And too much striving in her hands.
2 "Love as I loved you"- was the sound
That on thy lips expiring sate!
Sweet words in bitter strivings drown'd!
We hated as the worldly hate.
3 Yet, Lord, thy wronged love fulfill,
Thy church, tho' fallen, before thee stands;
Behold, the voice is Jacob's still,
Albeit the hands are Esau's hands.
4 Hast thou no tears, like those be-spent
Upon thy Zion's ancient part?
No moving looks, like those which sent
Their softness through a traitor's heart?
5 No touching tale of anguish dear,
Whereby like children we may creep,
All trembling, to each other near,
And view each other's face and weep?

One in the One Belov'd to be;
Teach us the hights and depths of love;

257 The ministry complete. Eph. 4: 11.
HE Savior when to heaven he rose,
Tin splendid triumph o'er his foes,
Scattered his gifts on men below,
And still his royal bounties flow.
2 Hence sprang th' apostles' honored name,
Sacred beyond heroic fame:
In humbler forms, before our eyes,
Pastors and teachers hence arise.
3 From Christ they all their gifts derive,
And, fed by Christ, their graces live:
While, guarded by his mighty hand,
'Midst all the rage of hell they stand.
4 So shall the bright succession run
Through all the courses of the sun;
While unborn churches, by their care,
Shall rise and flourish large and fair.
5 Jesus, now teach our hearts to know
The spring whence all these blessings flow;
Pastors and people shout thy praise,
Through the long round of endless days.

Speed, speed thy work-up from thy sloth;
It is not thus that souls are won.

See millions perishing afar;

Which cheers believers in their race;
Uncheer'd by grace, throngh heathen gloom,
See millions hast'ning to the tomb.
3 Christians, ye prize the Savior's blood,
In which the soul is cleansed for God;
Millions of souls in darkness dwell,
Uncleans'd from sin-exposed to hell.

Which trains the soul for endless day;
O strive that heathen soon may view
That precious blood which cleanseth you.

He be condemn'd who do' n't believe.
2 "I'll make your great commission known,
And
ye shall prove my gospel true,
By all the works that I have done,
By all the wonders ye shall do.
3 "Teach all the nations my commands-
I'm with you till the world shall end;
All power is trusted in my hands-
I can destroy, and I defend."
4 He spake, and light shone 'round his head;
On a bright cloud to heaven he rode:
They, to the farthest nations, spread
The grace of their ascended God.

The city where we dwell,
Compass and view thine holy ground,
And mark the building well.

The worship of thy court,
The cheerful songs, the solemn vows,
And make a fair report.

How glorious to behold!
Beyond the pomp that charms the eyes,
And rites adorned with gold.

Will be our God while here below,

The house of thine abode -

The church our blest Redeemer saved
With his own precious blood.
2 I love thy church, O God:
Her walls before thee stand,
Dear as the apple of thine eye,
And graven on thy hand.
3 For her my tears shall fall;
For her my prayers ascend;
To her my cares and toils be given
Till toils and cares shall end.
4 Beyond my highest joy
I prize her heavenly ways,
Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise.
5 Jesus, thou Friend divine,
Our Savior and our King,
Thy hand from every snare and foe
Shall great deliverance bring.
6 Sure as thy truth shall last,
To Zion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven.
255 The church admonished. Acts 2: 42.
have confessed
That Jesus is the Lord,
And to his people joined yourselves,
According to his word:
2 In Zion you must dwell,
Her altar ne'er forsake;
Must come to all her solemn feasts,
Of all her joys partake.
3 She must employ your thoughts,
And your unceasing care;
Her welfare be your constant wish,
And her increase your prayer.
4. With humbleness of mind,
Among her sons rejoice;
A meek and quiet spirit is
With God of highest price.
5 Never offend nor grieve
Your brethren by the way;
But shun the dark abodes of strife,
Like children of the day.
6 In all your Savior's ways,
With willing footsteps move;
Be faithful unto death, and then
You'll reign with him above.
258 How beautiful are the feet. Rom. 10: 15.
OW beauteous are their feet
H Who stand on Zion's hill!
Who bring salvation on their tongues,
And words of peace reveal.
2 How charming is their voice!
How sweet the tidings are!
"Zion, behold thy Savior King,
He reigns and triumphs here."
3 How happy are our ears
That hear this joyful sound,
Which kings and prophets waited for,
And sought, but never found!
4 How blessed are our eyes
That see this heavenly light!
Prophets and kings desired it long,
But died without the sight.
5 The watchmen join their voice,
And tuneful notes employ;
Jerusalem breaks forth in songs,
And deserts learn the joy.
6 The Lord makes bare his arm
Through all the earth abroad:
Let all the nations now behold
Their Savior and their God.
281 A prayer for an increase of laborers.
Matt, 9: 38.
ORD of the harvest, hear
L Thy ofedy servents cry:
Answer our faith's effectual prayer,
And all our wants supply.
2 On thee we humbly wait,
Our wants are in thy view;
The harvest, Lord, is truly great,
The laborers are few.
3 Anoint and send forth more
Into thy church abroad;
Thy Spirit on their spirits pour,
And make them strong for God.
4 O let them spread thy name,
Their mission fully prove;
Thy universal grace proclaim,
Thine all-redeeming love.

One inward life partake;
One be our heart; one heavenly hope
In every bosom wake.
3 In prayer, in effort, tears, and toils,
One wisdom be our guide;
[
Taught by one Spirit from above,
In thee may we abide.
4 Complete in us, whom grace hath called,
Thy glorious work begun,
O thou, in whom the church on earth
And church in heaven are one.
5 Then, when, among the saints in light,
Our joyful spirits shine,
Shall anthems of immortal praise,
O Lamb of God, be thine.

259 They watch for your souls. Heb 13: 17.
ET Zion's watchmen all awake,
And take the alarm they give
Now let them from the mouth of God
Their awful charge receive.
2 'Tis not a cause of small import,
The pastor's care demands;
But what might fill an angel's heart,
And filled a Savior's hands.
3 They watch for souls for which the Lord
Did heavenly bliss forego;
For souls, which must forever live
In raptures or
or in woe.
4 May they in Jesus, whom they preach,
Their own Redeemer see;
And watch thou daily o'er their souls,
That they may watch for thee.

We love to imitate the same,
As thou dost us invite.
We are baptized as Jesus was,
His easy yoke we bear;
And we are thus batiz'd, because
That we his subjects are.
5 Lord, may we to thy glory live?
Teach us thy heavenly ways;
To us thy Holy Spirit give,
And we thy name will praise.
6 As we thy sacred name profess,
May we our moments spend
In ways of truth and righteousness,
Until our lives shall end.
285 Hinder me not.
Gen. 24: 56.
N all my Lord's appointed ways,
My journey I'll pursue;
Hinder me not, you much loved saints,
For I must go with you.
2 Through floods and flames, if Jesus lead,
I'll follow where he goes;
Hinder me not, shall be my cry,
Though earth and hell oppose.
3 Through trials and through suff'rings too,
I'll go at his command:
Hinder me not, for I am bound
To my Immanuel's land.
4 And when my Savior calls me home,
Still this my cry shall be-
Hinder me not-come, welcome death-
I'll gladly go with thee.

GOSPEL WAY. C. M.
1 Buried beneath the yield-ing wave, The great Re-deem - er lies;
Faith views him in the wat' ry grave, And thence be-holds him rise.
2 Thus do his will ing saints, to day, Their ar - dent zeal
ex - press,
And, in the Lord's ap-point - ed
way, fulfill
all
righteousness.
3 With joy we in his footsteps tread,
And would his cause maintain-
Like him be numbered with the dead,
And with him rise and reign.
4 His presence oft revives our hearts,
And drives our fears away;
When he commands, and strength imparts,
We cheerfully obey.
289 The emblematic dove. Matt. 3: 16.
M
EEKLY in Jordan's holy stream
The great Redeemer bow'd;
Bright was the glory's sacred beam
That hush'd the wond'ring crowd.
2 Thus God descended to approve
The deed that Christ had done;
Thus came the emblematic Dove,
And hovered o'er the Son.
3 So, blessed Spirit, come to-day
To our baptismal scene:
Let thoughts of earth be far away.
And ev'ry mind serene.
4 This day we give to holy joy;
This day to heaven belongs:
Raised to new life, we will employ
In melody our tongues.
290 I am not ashamed of the gospel.
Rom. 1: 16.
"'M not ashamed to own my Lord,
Or to defend his cause,
Maintain the honor of his word,
I'M
The glory of his cross.
2 Jesus, my Lord! I know his name,
His name is all my trust;
Nor will he put my soul to shame
Nor let my hope be lost.
3 Firm as his throne his promise stands,
And he can well secure
What I've committed to his hands,
Till the decisive hour.
4 Then will he own my worthless name,
Before his Father's face,
And in the New Jerusalem,
Appoint my soul a place.

GOSPEL WAY-Continued.
291 Before baptism. Luke 15: 10.
IF
F glorious angels do rejoice,
When sinners turn to God,
Let us unite with cheerful voice,
To spread his praise abroad.
2 When Jesus unto Jordan came,
And was baptized of John,
A voice from heaven did proclaim,
'Tis my beloved Son.
3 His ministers he sent about,
To preach the word of grace,
And to baptize the world throughout,
Who should his truth embrace.
4 Lord, we have here before our eyes,
Some that have set their hand
To serve thee and to be baptized,
As thou didst give command.
5 Glory to God, who reigns above,
For his abounding grace,
In this the token of his love,
To us a guilty race.
6 Let us employ our tongues to sing,
The praises of the Lord,
For calling sinners home to him,
By his all-powerful word.
294
L'
A prayer for the baptized.
ET plenteous grace descend on those
Who, hoping in thy word,
This day have solemnly declared
That Jesus is their Lord.
2 With cheerful feet may they advance,
And run the Christian race,
And, through the troubles of the way,
Find all-sufficient grace.
3 Lord, plant us all into thy death,
That we thy life may prove-
Partakers of thy cross beneath,
And of thy crown above.
296 Desiring an entire cleansing.
John 13: 9.
OR ever here my rest shall be,
Close to thy bleeding side;
This all my hope, and all my plea,
For me the Savior died.
2 My dying Savior, and my God,
Fountain for guilt and sin,
Sprinkle me ever with thy blood,
And cleanse and keep me clean."
3 Wash me, and make me thus thine own;
Wash me, and mine thou art:
Wash me, but not my feet alone,
My hands, my head, my heart.
4 Th' atonement of thy blood apply,
Till faith to sight improve;
Till hope in full fruition die,
And all my soul be love.
9
297 "Who went about doing good."
Acts. 10: 38.
EHOLD, where in a mortal form
B Appears each grace divine;
The virtues, all in Jesus met,
With mildest radiance shine.
2 To spread the rays of heav'nly light,
To give the mourner joy;
To preach glad tidings to the poor,
Was his divine employ.
3 Lowly in heart, to all his friends
A friend and servant found:
He wash'd their feet, he wiped their tears,
And healed each bleeding wound.
4 'Midst keen reproach and cruel scorn,
Patient and meek he stood;
His foes, ungrateful, sought his life;
He labored for their good.
5 Be Christ our pattern and our guide!
His image may we bear!
O may we tread his holy steps,
His joy and glory share!
301 Love is the fulfilling of the law.
Rom. 13: 10.
E foll'wers of the Prince of Peace,
Who round his table draw,
Remember what his spirit was,
What his peculiar law.
2 The love which all his bosom fill'd
Did all his actions guide;
Inspired by love, he lived and, taught;
Inspired by love, he died.
3 Let each the sacred law fulfill;
Like his be ev'ry mind;
Be ev'ry temper form'd by love,
And every action kind.
4 Let none who call themselves his friends
Disgrace the honor'd name,
But by a near resemblance prove
The title which they claim.
302 The feast of charity. Jude 12 v.
N mem'ry of the Savior's love,
We keep the sacred feast,
Where ev'ry humble, contrite heart,
Is made a welcome guest.
2 Here let our ransom'd pow'rs unite
His honor'd name to raise;
129
Let grateful joy fill ev'ry mind,
And ev'ry voice be praise.
3 One fold, one faith, one hope, one Lord,
One God alone we know;
Brethren we are; let ev'ry heart
With kind affections glow.
4 Under his banner thus we sing
The wonders of his love,
And thus anticipate, by faith,
The heavenly feast above.

1 When Jesus Christ was here below, He taught his
people what
to do:

22
And if we would his pre-cepts keep, We must
de-scend to wash-ing feet.
2 For in that night he was betrayed,
He for us all a pattern laid;
Before his supper he did, eat,
He rose and washed his brethren's feet.
3 The Lord who made the earth and sky,
A rose, and laid his garments by,
And washed their feet, to show that we
Should always kind and humble be.
4 He washed them all to make them clean,
But Judas still was full of sin:
May none of us, like Judas, sell
The Lord for gold, and go to hell.
5 Peter said, Lord, it shall not be,
Thou shalt not stoop to washing me.
O that no Christian here may say,
I'm too unworthy to obey.
6 Ye call me Lord and Master too,
Then do as I have done to you;
All my commands and counsels keep,
And show your love by washing feet.
7 Ye shall be happy if ye know,
And do these things by faith below;
And I'll protect you till you die,
And then remove you up on high.

I have given you an example.
John 13: 15.

THE Church of God believes it right,
To think and do as Jesus bade,
When on that dark and doleful night
He gave his law, and plainly said:-
2 Mark the example which I give:
Keep it, and show your mutual love
My precepts do, and you shall live,
In bliss below, and heaven above.
3 Then, do we love our brethren now?
And are we bound in union sweet?
If so, like Jesus, let us bow,
And let us wash each other's feet.
4 Let no one be ashamed of this,-
Or, Peter-like, turn, and say, no;
But as we aim for heavenly bliss,
We'll in our Master's footsteps go.
5 Now, Lord, we'll wash thy people's feet,
And here enjoy their fond embrace;
Each with a kiss of friendship greet,
And hope in love to see thy face.
6 And then we'll feast on heavenly love,
And find our joys to be complete:
Yes, then we'll sing thy praise above,
And bow, with angels, at thy feet.

A pledge of Christian love;

Our souls how apt to stray;
How much we need his gracious help
To keep us in the way.
3 These faithful pledges of his love
His mercy did ordain,
To bring refreshment to our souls,
And faith and hope sustain.
4 Since such his condescending grace,
Let us with hearts sincere,
Obedient to his holy will,
To this dear feast draw near.
5 And while we join to celebrate
The suffering of our Lord,
May we receive new grace and power
To keep his holy word.

What watchful love, what holy fear!

3 Their streaming eyes together flow
For human guilt and mortal woe;
Their ardent prayers together rise,
Like mingling flames in sacrifice.
4 They're one in life and one in death-
One in their joy, their trust, their faith;
One in their hope of rest above,
One in each other's faithful love.

In heaven it will the brighter burn,

Sinners warned. Ezek. 3: 13.
DESTRUCTION'S dangerous road,
What multitades pursue!
While that, which leads the soul to God,
Is known or sought by few.
2 Believers enter in
By Christ, the living door;
But they, who will not leave their sin,
Must perish evermore.
3 If self must be denied,
And sin forsaken quite;
They rather choose the way that's wide,
And strive to think it right.
4 Encompassed by a throng,
On numbers they depend;
They think so many can't be wrong
And miss a happy end.
5 But numbers are no mark
That men will right be found;
A few were saved in Noah's ark,
For many millions drown'd.
6 Obey the gospel call,
And enter while you may;
The flock of Christ remains still small,
And none are safe but they.
515 This is the love of God. 1 John 5: 4.
OVE is the fountain whence
LOVE is folintain when
The Christian serves the God he loves,
And loves the God he knows.
2 He treads the heavenly road,
And neither faints nor tires;
That generous love which warms his breast,
With fortitude inspires.
3 No burden seems so great,
No task so hard appears,
But this he cheerfully performs,
And that he meekly bears.
4 May love-that shining grace,
O'er all my powers preside;
Direct my thoughts, suggest my words,
And every action guide!

James 5: 14.
WHEN struggling on the bed of pain,
And earth and all its joys are vain,
How sweet, my God, to know thy power
Sustains me in this trying hour.
2 I would thy holy word obey
E'en while upon my bed I lie:
I call the elders here, O Lord,
To do according to thy word.
3 And while the oil's by faith applied,
O may my soul be sanctified
By the blest unction from above,
And then be filled with heavenly love.
4 Then shall my cheerful, grateful tongue,
In rapt'rous strains thy praise prolong;
My ransom'd soul adore thy grace,
And swifter run the heavenly race.
5 Or, should my days be near their end,
And I through death my steps must wend,
Then, O my Lord, receive me home,
To mingle with the blood-washed throng.

Ho the joyful news is come!
Free salvation is proclaiming,
In and through God's own dear Son.
Now we have an invitation,
To the meek and lowly Lamb;
Glory, honor, and salvation,
Christ, the Lord, has come to reign.
2 Come, dear friends, and do n't neglect it,
Come to Jesus in your prime;
Great salvation, do n't reject it,
O receive it, now's your time!
Now the Savior is beginning
To revive his work again;
Glory, honor, and salvation,
Christ the Lord has come to reign.
3 Come, dear children, praise your Jesus,
Praise him, praise him evermore:
May his boundless love constrain us,
His great mercy to adore;
O then let us join together,
Crowns of glory to obtain;

and

2 When justice, by our sins provoked,
Drew forth its dreadful sword,
He gave his soul up to the stroke
Without a murm'ring word.
3 He sunk beneath our heavy woes,
To raise us to his throne;
There's ne'er a gift his hand bestows
But cost his heart a groan.
4 This was compassion like a God,
That though the Savior knew
The price of pardon was his blood,
His pity ne'er withdrew.
5 Now, though he reigns exalted high,
His love is still as great:
Well he remembers Calvary,
Nor lets his saints forget.
6 Here let our hearts begin to melt,
While we his death record,
And with our joy for pardon'd guilt,
Mourn that we pierced the Lord.

Brethren whose cheerful hearts unite

Where God his mildest glory shows,
And makes his grace distill.

SINNER, bring not tears alone,
Or outward form of prayer,

God asketh not of thee;
Thy secret soul he bids thee bend
In true humility.

Draw near unto our God,
And pray to him to grant relief,
And stay the lifted rod.

To grant us what we need,

And grace to turn indeed.

HE saints on earth, and those above,
But one communion make;
Joined to their Lord, in bonds of love,
All of his grace partake.
2 One family, we dwell in him,
One church above, beneath;
Though now divided by the stream,
The narrow stream of death.
3 One army of the living God,
To his commands we bow;
Part of the host have crossed the flood,
And part are crossing now.

Are swiftly borne away;
And we are to the margin come,
And soon must launch as they.

Bid death's cold flood its waves divide,
And land us safe in heaven.

INNERS, the voice of God regard;
His mercy speaks to-day:
He calls you by his sov'reign word,
From sin's destructive way.
2 Like the rough sea that can not rest,
You live devoid of peace;
A thousand stings within your breast
Deprive your souls of ease.
3 Your way is dark, and leads to hell;
Why will you persevere?
Can you in woe and darkness dwell,
Shut up in black despair?
4 Why will you in the crooked ways
Of sin and folly go?
In pain you travel all your days,
To reap eternal woe!
5 But he that turns to God shall live,
Through his abounding grace;
His mercy will the guilt forgive
Of those that seek his face.
6 His love exceeds your highest thoughts;
He pardons like a God;
He will forgive your num'rous faults,
Through a Redeemer's blood.

Though weary and wakeful my nights,

And comfort divine dost impart
To soften the anguish we feel.

And answer thy gracious design;

In comforts so healing as thine.

In heaven with thee I may live.

Inviting sinners all around;
Behold! the loving Savior stands,
And spreads for you his bleeding hands.

Waiting Salvation to impart;
To wash you in atoning blood,
And seal you heirs and sons of God.
BROAD is the road flat lether there, 4 And all your children in a band,,
And walk
But wisdom shows a narrow path,
With here and there a traveler.
2 "Deny thyself and take thy cross,"
Is the Redeemer's great command;
Nature must count her gold but dross,
If she would gain this heavenly land.
And give them up at Jesus' call,
To pardon, bless and save them all.
5 And when the day of Christ shall come,
And he collects his jewels home;
On Zion's mount you all shall stand,
And join the bright angelic band.

SRAEL in ancient days,
Not only had a view
Of Sinai in a blaze,
Col. 2: 17.
But learned the gospel too;
The types and figures were a glass,
In which they saw the Savior's face.
2 The paschal sacrifice
And blood besprinkled door,
Seen with enlightened eyes,
And once applied with power,
Would teach the need of other blood,
To reconcile us to our God.
3 The Lamb, the Dove, set forth
His perfect innocence,
Whose blood of matchless worth
Should be the soul's defense;
For he who can for sin atone,
Must have no failings of his own.
4 The scape-goat on his head
The people's trespass bore,
And, to the desert led
Was to be seen no more:
In him our Surety seemed to say,
Behold, I bear your sins away."
66
5 Dipt in his fellow's blood,
The living bird went free;
The type well understood,
Expressed the sinner's plea :
Described a guilty soul enlarged,
And by a Savior's death discharged.
6 Jesus, I love to trace
147
Throughout the sacred page,
The footsteps of thy grace,
The same in every age!
O grant that I may faithful be
To clearer light vouchsafe to me,

WITH tearful eyes I look around,
Life seems a dark and stormy sea;
Yet, 'midst the gloom, I hear a sound,
A heavenly whisper, "Come to me.'
2 It tells me of a place of rest-
It tells me where my soul may flee;
O! to the weary, faint, oppressed,
How sweet the bidding, "Come to me."
3 When nature shudders, loth to part
From all I love, enjoy, and see;
When a faint chill steals o'er my heart,
A sweet voice utters, "Come to me."
4 Come, for all else must fail and die;
Earth is no resting-place for thee;
Heavenward direct thy weeping eye,
I am thy portion, "Come to me."
5 O, voice of mercy! voice of love!
In conflict, grief, and agony,
Support me, cheer me from above!
And gently whisper, "Come to me."

Psalm 51: 17.
BROKEN heart, my God, my King,

2 Ho, all ye hungry, starving souls,
That feed upon the wind,
And vainly strive with earthly toys
To fill an empty mind;
3 Eternal Wisdom hath prepared
A soul-reviving feast,
And bids your longing appetites
The rich provision taste.
4 Ho, ye that pant for living streams,
And pine away and die,
Here you may quench your raging thirst
With springs that never dry.

E humble sinners, in whose breast
A thousand thoughts revolve;
Come, with your guilt and fear opprest,
And make this last resolve.

Hath like a mountain rose:
I know his courts, I'll enter in,
Whatever may oppose.
3 Prostrate I'll lie before his throne,
And there my guilt confess;
I'll tell him I'm a wretch undone,
Without his sov'reign grace.

4 Pll to the gracious King approach,
Whose scepter pardon gives;
Perhaps he may command my touch,
And then the suppliant lives.
5 Perhaps he will admit my plea,
Perhaps will hear my prayer;
But if I perish, I will pray;
And perish only there.
6 I can but perish if I go,
I am resolved to try,
For if I stay away. I know
I must forever die.
350 Prepare to meet thy God. Amos 4: 12.
AIN man, thy fond pursuits forbear;
Repent, the end is nigh
Death at the farthest can't be far;
O, think before thou die!
2 Reflect, thon hast a soul to save.
Thy sins how high they mount!
What are thy hopes beyond the grave?
How stands that dark account?
3 Death enters, and there's no defense;
His time there's none can tell:
He'll in a moment call thee hence,
To heaven or to hell.
4 Thy flesh, perhaps thy chiefest care,
Shall crawling worms consume;
But ah! destruction stops not there;
Sin kills beyond the tomb.
5 To-day, the gospel calls to-day,
Sinners, it speaks to you;
Let every one forsake his way,
And mercy will ensue.
6 Rich mercy, dearly bought with blood,
How vile so e'er he be,
Abundant pardon, peace with God,
All given entirely free.
4 Like her, with hopes and fears we come
To touch thee, if we may;
357 Healing mercy implored. Jer. 17: 14.
EAL us, Immanuel! here we stand,
Waiting to feel thy touch;
To wounded souls stretch forth thy hand;
Blessed Savior, we are such.
2 Remember him who once applied,
With trembling, for relief;
"Lord, I believe," with tears he cried,
"O help my unbelief?"
3 She, too, who touched thee in the press,
And healing virtue stole,
Was answered, "Daughter, go in peace;
Thy faith hath made thee whole."
O! send us not despairing home,
Send none unhealed away.
365 0 that I knew where I might find him.
Job 23 : 3, 4.
0
THAT I knew the secret place,
Where I might find my God!
I'd spread my wants before his face,
And pour my woes abroad.
2 I'd tell him how my sins arise,
What sorrows I sustain:
3
How grace decays, and conflict dies,
And leaves my heart in pain.
I'd say, how flesh and sense rebel,
What inward foes combine
With this vain world and powers of hell,
To vex this heart of mine..
4 He knows what arguments I'd take,
To wrestle with my God:
I'd plead for his own mercy's sake,
And for my Savior's blood.
5 My God will pity my complaints,
And heal my broken bones:
He takes the meaning of his saints,
The language of their groans.
6 Arise my soul from deep distress,
And banish every fear;
He calls thee to his throne of grace,
To spread thy sorrows there!
368 Harden not your hearts.
Heb. 3: 8.
THE winds were howing o'er the deep,
Each wave a watery hill;
The Savior wakened from his sleep:
He spake, and all was still.
2 The madman in a tomb had made
His mansion of despair:
3
Woe to the traveler who strayed,
With heedless footsteps, there.
He met that glance so thrilling sweet,
He heard those accents mild;
And melting at Messiah's feet,
Wept like a weaned child.
4 0, madder than a raving man!
O, deafer than the sea!
How long the time since Christ began
To call in vain to me!
5 Yet could I hear him once again,
As I have heard of old,
Methinks he should not call in vain
His wanderer to the fold.

To worship rightly is to love each other;
Each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer.

Of Him whose holy work was doing good;
So shall the wide earth seem our Father's temple,

Of wild war-music o'er the earth shall cease;
Love shall tread out the baleful fires of anger,
And in its ashes plant the tree of peace.

367 Ingratitude lawented. Isaiah 1: 2.
IS this the kind return?
Are these the thanks we owe?
Thus to abuse eternal Love,
Whence all our blessings flow.
2 To what a stubborn frame
Has sin reduced our mind!
What strange rebellious wretches we,
And God is strangely kind!
3 On us he bids the sun
Shed his reviving rays;
For us the skies their circles run,
To lengthen out our days.
4 Turn, turn us mighty God,
And mould our souls afresh;
Break, sov'reign grace, these hearts of stong,
And give us hearts of flesh.
5 Let past ingratitude
Provoke our weeping eyes,
And hourly as new mercies fall,
Let hourly thanks arise.

2 O! lovely attitude-he stands
With melting heart and loaded hands;
O! matchless kindness- and he shows
This matchless kindness to his foes!
3 But will he prove a friend indeed?
He will-the very Friend you need;
The Friend of sinners-yes, 'tis he,
With garments dyed on Calvary.

Turn out his enemy and thine,

To 'scape from hell and fly to heaven,

Beneath the clods their dust must lie;

And different answers he bestows:

Whilst on the proud his anger frowns.

But plead the sufferings of thy Son.

Into thy rest of love receive,

Guide me into thy perfect peace,

Psalm 51: 3.
THOU, who hearest when sinners cry;
Though all my crimes before thee lie,
Behold them not with angry look,
But blot their memory from thy book,
2 Create my nature pure within,
And form my soul averse to sin:
Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart,
Nor hide thy presence from my heart.
3 Though I have grieved thy Spirit, Lord,
Thy help and comfort still afford;
And let a wretch come near thy throne,
To plead the merits of thy Son,

Grace brought me pardon for my sin,
And grace subdues my lust within.
'T is grace that sweetens every cross,

2 "I die with hunger here," he cries,
"I starve in foreign lands:
My Father's house hath large supplies,
And bounteous are his hands.
3 "I'll go, and with a mournful tongue,
Fall down before his face;
Father, I've done thy justice wrong,
Nor can deserve thy grace."
4 He said, and hastened to his home,
To seek his father's love;
The father saw the rebel come,
And all his bowels move.
5 He ran and fell upon his neck,
Embraced and kiss'd his son;
The rebel's heart with sorrow brake
For follies he had done.

Let mirth and joy abound;
My son was dead, and lives again,
Was lost, and now is found."

hears,
Contrition's humble sigh;
Whose hand indulgent, wipes the tears,
From sorrow's weeping eye;
2 See! low before the throne of grace,
A wretched wand'rer mourn;
Hast thou not bid me seek thy face?
Hast thou not said, "Return !"
3 And shall my guilty fears prevail,
To drive me from thy feet?
O let not this dear refuge fail-
This only safe retreat.
4 Absent from thee, my guide, my light,
Without one cheering ray,
Through dangers, fears, and gloomy night,
How desolate the way!
5 O shine on this benighted heart,
With beams of mercy shine:
And let thy healing voice impart,
A taste of joys divine.
373 The deceitfulness of sin. Heb. 3: 13.
IN has a thousand treach'rous arts
To practice on the mind;
With flatt'ring looks she tempts our hearts,
But leaves a sting behind.
2 With names of virtue she deceives
The aged and the young;
And while the heedless wretch believes,
She makes his fetters strong.
3 She pleads for all the joys she brings,
And gives a fair pretense;
But cheats the soul of heavenly things,
And chains it down to sense.
4 So on a tree, divinely fair,
Grew the forbidden food,
Our mother took the poison there,
And tainted all her blood.

To torrents melt my streaming eyes;
And thou, my heart, with anguish feel
Those evils which thou canst not heal.

See scandal poured on Jesus' name:
The Father wounded through the Son;
The world abused, the soul undone.
3 See the short course of vain delight
Closing in everlasting night-
In flames, that no abatement know,
Though briny tears forever flow.
4 My God, I feel the mournful scene;
My bowels yearn o'er dying men;
And fain my pity would reclaim,
And snatch the firebrands from the flame.
5 But feebler my compassion proves,
And can but weep where most it loves
Thy own all-saving arm employ,
And turn these drops of grief to joy.

377 The fall and redemption. Ez. 37: 9.
See Adam's race in ruin lie,
OOK down, O Lord, with pitying eye,
Sin spreads its trophies o'er the ground,
And scatters slaughtered heaps around.
2 And can these mouldering corpses live?
And can these perished hones revive?
That mighty God to thee is known,
That wondrous work is all thy own.
3 Thy ministers are sent in vain
To prophesy upon the slain :
In vain they call, in vain they cry,
Till thine Almighty aid is nigh.
4 But if thy Spirit deign to breathe,
Life spreads thro' all the realms of death,
Dry bones obey thy powerful voice,
They move, they waken, they rejoice:
5 So when the trumpet's awful sound
Shall shake the heav'ns and rend the ground,
Dead saints shall from their tombs arise,
And spring to life beyond the skies.

Isaiah 63: 5.

Beheld our helpless grief;

3 Down from the shining seats above,
With joyful haste he fled!
Entered the grave in mortal flesh,
And, dwelt among the dead.
4 O for this love let rocks and hills
Their lasting silence break,
And all harmonious human tongues
The Savior's praises speak.

What is man? Psalm 8: 4.
ORD, what is man! Extremes how wide
In this mysterious nature join!
The flesh to worms and dust allied,
The soul immortal and divine.
2 Divine at first, a holy flame
Kindled by heaven's inspiring breath;
Till sin, with power prevailing came;
Then followed darkness, shame, and death,
3 But Jesus, O amazing grace!
Assumed our nature as his own,
Obeyed and suffered in our place,
Then took it with him to his throne.
4 Now what is man, when grace reveals
The virtue of a Savior's blood!
Again a life divine he feels,
Despises earth and walks with God.
5 And what, in yonder realms above,
In ransomed man ordained to be!
With honor, holiness, and love,
No seraph more adorned than he.
6 Nearest the throne, and first in song,
Man shall his hallelujahs raise;
While wondering angels round him throng
And swell the chorus of his praise.

Astonished angels stoop to gaze,
While mercy o'er the guilty reigns.
Yes mercy reigns, and justice too;

In Christ they both harmonious meet;
He paid to justice all her due;
And now he fills the mercy-seat.

The pilgrim's hopes.
ARK and thorny is the desert,
Thro' which pilgrims make their way,
Yet beyond this vale of sorrow,
Lie the fields of endless day.
Fiends, loud howling thro' the desert,
Make them tremble as they go:
And the fiery darts of Satan
Often bring their courage low.
20 young pilgrims, are you weary
Of the roughness of the way?
Does your strength begin to fail you,
And your vigor to decay?
Jesus, Jesus will go with you,
He will lead you to his throne;
He who dyed his garments for you,
And the wine-press trod alone.
3 He whose thunder shakes creation,
He who bids the planets roll,
He who rides upon the tempest,
And whose scepter sways the whole;
Round him are ten thousand angels
Ready to obey command,
They are always hov'ring round you,
Till you reach the heavenly land.
4 There, on flow'ry hills of pleasure,
Lie the fields of endless rest:
Love and joy and peace for ever
Reign and triumph in your breast:
Who can paint the scenes of glory,
Where the ransomed dwell on high?
There, on golden harps for ever,
Sound redemption through the sky.
5 O their crowns! how bright they sparkle,
Such as monarchs never wore,
They are gone to richer pastures,
Jesus is their Shepherd there.
Hail, ye happy, happy spirits,
Death no more shall make you fear,
Grief nor sorrow, pain nor anguish,
Shall no more distress you there.
406 In deep affliction. Psalm 42: 7.
ULL of trembling expectation,
Feeling much and fearing more,
Mighty God of my salvation!
I thy timely aid implore:
Suffering Son of Man, be near me,
All my sufferings to sustain;
By thy sorer griefs to cheer me,
By thy more than mortal pain.
2 Call to mind that unknown anguish,
In thy days of flesh below;
When thy troubled soul did languish
Under a whole world of woe;
When thou didst our curse inherit,
3
Groan beneath our guilty load,
Burdened with a wounded spirit,
Bruised by all the wrath of God.
By the most severe temptation,
In that dark, Satanic hour;
By thy last, mysterious passion,
Screen me from the adverse power.
By thy fainting in the garden,
By thy bloody sweat, I pray,
Write upon my heart the pardon,
Take my sins and fears away.
4 By the travel of thy spirit,
By thine outcry on the tree,
By thine agonizing merit,
In my pangs, remember me!
By thy pangs of crucifixion,
A weak, dying soul befriend;
Make me patient in affliction,
Keep me faithful to the end.

I am weary of the longing
For weak human love and praise;
I am weary of the thoughts that
Turn so constantly to earth;
Fain would my poor spirit rise
Above its idle joy and mirth.

I have seen the loved ones die;
I have seen the clouds of sorrow
Overcast youth's summer sky;

For my home among the blest;
Where the wicked cease from troubling,
And the weary are at rest.

And every thought of holiness
Are his, and his alone.
405 Thou hast delivered my soul, etc.
Psalm 116: 8.
MY God, thy service well demands
The remnant of my days:
Why was this fleeting breath renewed,
But to renew thy praise?
2 Thine arms of everlasting love
Did this weak frame sustain,
When life was hovering o'er the grave,
And nature sunk with pain.
3 Thou, when the pains of death were felt,
Didst chase the fears of hell,
And teach my pale and quivering lips
Thy matchless grace to tell.
4 Calmly I bowed my fainting head
On thy dear, faithful breast;
Pleased to obey my Father's call
To his eternal rest.
Did I my soul resign,
In firm dependence on that truth
Which made salvation mine.
6 Back from the borders of the grave,
At thy command I come;
Nor will I urge a speedier flight
To my celestial home.
407 The rivers shall not overflow thee.
Isaiah 43: 2.
FFLICTION is a stormy deep,
Where wave resounds to wave;
Though o'er our heads the billows roll,
We know the Lord can save.
2 When darkness, and when sorrows rose,
And pressed on every side,
The Lord hath still sustained our steps,
And still hath been our guide.
3 Perhaps before the morning dawn,
He will restore our peace;
For he who bade the tempest roar,
Can bid the tempest cease.
4 Here will we rest, here build our hopes-
Nor murmur at his rod;
He's more to us than all the world-
Our Health, our Life, our God.

All his malicious arts;

3 Be thou my sun and thou my shield,

Make haste before my eyes are sealed
In death's eternal sleep.
4 How would the tempter boast aloud,
If I became his prey!
Behold the sons of hell grow proud
At thy so long delay!
5 But they shall fly at thy rebuke,
And Satan hide his head;
He knows the terrors of thy look,
And hears thy voice with dread.
6 Thou wilt display that sovereign grace,
Where all my hopes have hung;
I shall employ my lips in praise,
And victory shall be sung.

2 What gifts, what miracles, he gave!
And power to kill, and power to save!
Furnished their tongues with wondrous words
Instead of shields, and spears, and swords.
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
For he hath given to all his word;
He taught us how to watch and pray,
And live rejoicing every day.
3 Thus armed, he sent the champions forth,
From east to west, from south to north;
Go, and assert your Savior's cause,
Go, spread the mystery of his cross.
4 These weapons of the holy war,
Of what almighty force they are,
To make our stubborn passions bow,
And lay the proudest rebel low!
Nations, the learned and the rude,
Are by these heavenly arms subdued;
While Satan rages at his loss,
And hates the doctrine of the cross.

A willing captive to my Lord,
And sing the victories of his word.

Of thy salvation, Lord!

And hear almost in vain;
How small a portion of thy grace,

How negligent my fear!
How low my hopes of joys above!
How few affections there!

Satan the weakest saint will tempt,
Nor is the strongest free.

And unbelief within;
We fear, we faint, we grieve, we doubt,
And feel the load of sin.
4 Glad frames too often lift us up;
And then how proud we grow;
'Till sad desertion makes us droop:
And down we sink as low.
5 Ten thousand baits the foe prepares,
To catch the wand'ring heart,
And seldom do we see the snares,
Before we feel the smart.

Pursue the narrow path:
Look to the Lord with steadfast eye,
And fight with hell by faith.

Seal thou our breasts, and let us wear
The pledge of love forever there.

That thou shouldst man to glory bring?
And give them an immortal crown!
Make slaves the partners of thy throne,

To know the wonders thou hast wrought;
Unloose our stammering tongues to tell
Thy love immense, unsearchable.

This world is not my home.
3 To Jesus Christ I sought for rest;
He bade me cease to roam,
And fly for succor to his breast,

Where foes in fury roam,

"Tis I; be not afraid."

2 I do not dread the hour of death-
If I am thine, no fears remain,-
I know that with my parting breath
I leave for ever mortal pain.
3 And if it should be then thy will
A cloud should on the future be,
The bow of promise spans it still,
I will believe-I need not see!
4 E'en if the darkness should appear
Too deep for faith as well as sight;
If I am thine, thou wilt be near,
And take me to thy heavenly light.
5 But oh, my Lord! in life's highway
I crave the sunshine of thy face!
And every moment of the day
I need thy strong supporting grace.

At springs which rise from earth alone!
When I can do no more, I think
Of living waters from thy throne.

Gal. 4: 15.
WHERE is now that glowing love
O,That marked our unig with the Lord!
Our hearts were fixed on things above,
Nor could the world a joy afford,
2 Where is the zeal that led us then
To make our Savior's glory known?
That freed us from the fear of men,
And kept our eye on him alone?
3 Where are the happy seasons spent
In fellowship with him we loved?
The sacred joy, the sweet content,
The blessedness that then we proved?
4 Behold, again we turn to thee;
O, cast us not away, though vile;
No peace we have, no joy we see,
O Lord our God, but in thy smile,

What light would all around us rise!
How would our hearts with wisdom talk,
Along life's dullest, dreariest walk!

Will furnish all we ought to ask;
Room to deny ourselves, a road
To bring us daily nearer God.

And all his valliant soldiers
Eternal life shall have.

To conquer though I die;

SEE
EE, in the vineyard of the Lord
A barren fig-tree stands;
It yields no fruit, no blossoms bears,
Though planted by his hands.
2 From year to year he seeks for fruit,
And still no fruit is found;
It stands, amid the living trees,
A cumberer of the ground.
3 But, see, an Intercessor pleads
The barren tree to spare:
"Let justice still withhold his hand,
And grant another year.
4 Perhaps some means of grace untried
May reach the stony heart;
The soft'ning dews of heavenly grace
May life anew impart.
5 But if these means should prove in vain,
No fruits thy efforts crown,
Then mercy shall no longer plead,
But justice cut it down."

Through all the hours of night,
And grant to me most graciously;

Since thou wilt not remove;
O, in the morning let me rise
Rejoicing in thy love.

And end my transient days,

Where I may sing thy praise.

And heaven my final home:

For all that will is love:
And when thy way, great God, is dark,

From my exalted Head.

Shall be forever thine;
Whate'er my duty bids me give,
My cheerful hand resign.

And duty did not call,
I love my God with zeal so great,
That I should give him all.

NCE, O Lord, thy garden flourished,
Every part looked gay and green;
Then thy word our spirit nourished,
Happy seasons we have seen!
2 But a drought has since succeeded,
And a sad decline we see!
Lord, thy help is greatly needed,
Help can only come from thee.
3 Some, in whom we once delighted,
We shall see no more below;
Some, alas, we fear are blighted,-
Scarce a single leaf they show.

Thou canst make them bloom again:
O, permit them not to wither,
Let not all our hopes be vain!

Psalm 91: 4-7.

Best beneath th' Almighty's shade;
In his secret habitation
Dwell, nor ever be dismayed;
There no tumult can alarm thee-
Thou shalt dread no hidden snare,
Guile nor violence can harm thee,
In eternal safety there.
2 From the sword, at noonday wasting,
From the noisome pestilence,
In the depth of midnight blasting,
God shall be thy sure defense:
Fear not thou the deadly quiver,
When a thousand feel the blow;
Mercy shall thy soul deliver,
Though ten thousand be laid low.
3 Since, with pure and firm affection,
Thou on God hast set thy love,
With the wings of his protection
He will shield thee from above:
Thou shalt call on him in trouble,
He will hearken, he will save;
Here, for grief, reward thee double,
Crown with life beyond the grave.

Of joy, and brightens every smile;

A Begin with us, the evening shades
Begin already to prevail,
And as the evening twilight fades,
Dark clouds around th' horizon sail.

Thy sacred though prophetic lore;
What wondrous things of Jesus told-
Stranger, we thirst, we pant for more.
3 O stay with us, and still converse
Of him that late on Calvary died-
Of him the prophecies rehearse-
It was our Friend they crucified.
4 Our souls are faint, our hearts are cold,
We thought that Israel he'd restore;
But sweet the truths thy lips have told,
And Stranger, we complain no more.
5 Thus while they prayed, at their request,
The Stranger bows with smile divine;
Then round the board the Unknown Guest,
And weary travelers recline.
6 Abide with us, amazed they cried,
As suddenly, while breaking bread,
Their own lost Jesus met their eyes,
With radiant glories round his head!
7 Abide with us, thou heavenly Friend,
Leave not thy followers alone,
The sweet communion here must end-
The heavenly Visitant is gone.

Sweet fellowship with God.

Nor pleasure's flowery road,
Can to my soul such bliss impart,
As fellowship with God.
3 When I am made in love to bear
Affliction's needful rod,
Light, sweet and kind the strokes appear,
Through fellowship with God.
4 In fierce temptation's fiery blasts,
Or dark desertion's road,
I'm happy if I can but taste,
Some fellowship with God.
5 So when the icy hand of death
Shall chill my flowing blood,
With joy I'll yield my latest breath,
In fellowship with God.
6 When I at last to heaven ascend,
And gain my blest abode,
There an eternity I'll spend
In fellowship with God.

By furious blasts are driven;
So life's tempestuous storms the more
Have fixed my heart in heaven.

To see thy face at last.

467 The strait gate. Matt. 7: 13.
ST
TRAIT is the way, the door is strait,
That leads to joys on high;
'Tis but a few that find the gate,
While crowds mistake and die.
2 Beloved self must be denied,
The mind and will renewed,
Passion suppressed and patience tried,
And vain desires subdued.
3 Flesh is a dang'rous foe to grace,
Where it prevails and rules;
Flesh must be humbled, pride abased,
Lest they destroy our souls.
4 The love of gold be banished hence,
(That vile idolatry),
And every member, every sense,
In sweet subjection lie.
5 The tongue, that most unruly power,
Requires a strong restraint;
We must be watchful every hour,
And pray, but never faint.
6 Lord! can a feeble, helpless worm,
Fullfil a task so hard?
Thy grace must all my works perform,
And give the free reward.
472 "If thou hadst been here" John 11:21.
LORD, hast thou been here! but when
Is not the Savior nigh?
His power and love were present then,
Though Lazarus needs must die.
2 And when the Master seems to stay,
Regardless of our grief,
His tarrying never is delay,
But well-timed, sure relief.
3 He loves to come when others flee,
Or, coming, can not aid;.
To save in faith's extremity,
When hope's last glimmerings fade.
4 The house of mourning he prefers
With voice of love to cheer;
And sorrows are the harbingers
That say-the Lord is near.
5 Lord, not in sorrow's hour alone,
We ask to feel thy grace;"
The hearts that once thy love have known,
Would be thy dwelling-place.
474 As many as I love, etc. Rev. 3: 19.
FTEN the clouds of deepest woe
So sweet a message bear,
Dark tho' they seem, 'twere hard to find
A frown of anger there.
2 Kind, loving is the hand that strikes,
However keen the smart,
If sorrow's discipline can chase
One evil from the heart.
3 He was a man of sorrows-he
Who loved and saved us thus;
And shall the world, that frowned on him,
Wear only smiles for us?
4 No; we must follow in the path
Our Lord and Savior run;
We must not find a resting-place
Where he we love had none.
477 Faith the evidence of things not seen.
Heb. 11.
AITH is the brightest evidence
Of things beyond our sight;
It pierces through the vail of sense,
And dwells in heavenly light.
2 It sets time past in present view,
Brings distant prospects home,
Of things a thousand years ago,
Or thousand years to come.
3 By faith we know the world was made
By God's almighty word;
We know the heavens and earth shall fade
And be again restored.
4 Abra'am obeyed the Lord's command,
From his own country driven;
By faith he sought a promised land,
But found his rest in heaven,
5 Thus through life's pilgrimage we stray,
The promise in our eye;
By faith we walk the narrow way
That leads to joy on high.

Touch our vain souls with sacred fire;

461 Present your bodies. Rom 12: 1.
I resolve with all my
With all my piers to serve the Lord;
Nor from his precepts e'er depart,
Whose service is a rich reward.
2 O, be his service all my joy!
Around let my example shine,
Till others love the blest employ,
And join in labors so divine.

LORD, how full of sweet content
My years of pilgrimage are spent!
Where'er I dwell. I dwell with thee,
In heaven, in earth, or on the sea.
2 To me remains nor place nor time;
My country is in every clime:
I can be calm and free from care
On any shore, since God is there.
3 While place I seek, or place I shun,
The soul finds happiness in none;
But with my God to guide my way,
"T is equal joy to go or stay.
4 Could I be cast where thou art not,
That were indeed a dreadful lot:
But regions none remote I call,
Secure of finding God in all.

REMBLING before thine awful throne,
To Lord, in dust my sins I own;
Justice and mercy for my life
Contend; O, smile and heal the strife!
2 The Savior smiles-upon my soul
New tides of hope tumultuous roll!
His voice proclaims my pardon found;
Seraphic transport wings the sound!
3 Earth has a joy unknown in heaven,
The new-born peace of sins forgiven.
Tears of such pure and rich delight,
Ye angels! never dimmed your sight.
4 Ye know where morn exulting springs,
And evening folds her drooping wings;
Loud in your song: the heavenly plain
Is shaken by your choral strain.
5 But I amid your choirs shall shine,
And all your knowledge will be mine;
Ye on your harps must lean to hear
A secret chord that mine will bear!

Ashamed of thee, whom angels praise,

Let evening blush to own a star!
He sheds the beams of light divine
O'er this benighted soul of mine.
3 Ashamed of Jesus! Just as soon
Let morning be ashamed of noon:
'T is midnight with my soul, till he,
Bright Morning Star, bid darkness flee.
4 Ashamed of Jesus! that dear friend,
On whom my hopes of heaven depend!
No! when I blush, be this my shame,
That I no more revere his name.
Ashamed of Jesus! Yes, I may,
When I've no guilt to wash away,
No tear to wipe, no good to crave,
No fears to quell, no soul to save.

Till then I'll boast a Savior slain!

Dare to defend his noble cause,
And yield obedience to his laws.

TOW shall I follow him I serve?
H How shall I copy him I love?
Nor from those blessed footsteps swerve,
Which lead me to his seat above?
Privations, sorrows, bitter scorn,
The life of toil, the mean abode,
The faithless kiss, the crown of thorn-
Are these the consecrated road?
3 'T was thus he suffered through a Son,
Foreknowing, choosing, feeling all,
Until the perfect work was done-
And drank the bitter cup of gall.
4 Lord, should my path thro' suffering lie,
Forbid it I should e'er repine;
Still let me turn to Calvary,
Nor heed my griefs, remembering thine.
470 Sympathy with Christ in suffering.

Luke 22: 28.

Around thee on the cursed tree,

Some pitying eyes that wept for thee.

Our dying Lord, tho' crown'd with thorn;
Like thee, thy blessed self, endure
The cross with all its joy or scorn.

Show what thy brethren all should be;
Pilgrims on earth, disowned by those
Who see no beauty, Lord, in thee.

Death of a pastor.
PASTOR, thou art from us taken
In the glory of thy years,
As the oak, by tempests shaken,
Falls ere time its verdure sears.
2 Here where oft thy lip hath taught us
Of the Lamb who died to save-
Where thy guiding hand hath brought us
To the deep baptismal wave-
3 Pale and cold we see thee lying
In God's temple, once so dear,
And the mourners' bitter sighing
Falls unheeded on thine ear.
4 All thy love and zeal, to lead us
Where immortal fountains flow,
And on living bread to feed us,
In our fond remembrance glow.
5 May the conquering faith that cheer'd thee
When thy foot on Jordan pressed,
Guide our spirits while we leave thee
In the tomb that Jesus blessed.

Heb. 2: 10.
PERFECT thro' suffering :" may it be,
Savior, made perfect, thus, for me!
I bow, I kiss, I bless the rod,
That brings me nearer to my God.
2 "Perfect through suffering:" be thy cross
The crucible to purge my dross!
Welcome, for that, its pangs, its scorns,
Its scourge, its nails, its crown of thorns.
3 "Perfect through suffering:" heap the fire,
And pile the sacrificial pyre;
4
But save each loved and loving one,
And let me feed the flames, alone.
Perfect thro' suffering:" urge the blast,
More free, more full, more fierce, more fast.
By grace the suffering path I'll tread,
So the flame waft my soul to God!
476 Faith looking into the future.
Heb. 11: 13:
TWe walk thro' deserts dark as night;
by tny faith of joys to come
Till we arrive at heaven our home,
Faith is our guide, and faith our light.
2 The want of sight she well supplies;
She makes the pearly gates appear;
For into distant worlds she pries,
And brings eternal glories near.
3 Cheerful we tread the desert through,
While faith inspires a heavenly ray,
Though lions roar, and tempests blow,
And rocks and dangers fill the way.
4 So Abra'm, by divine command,
Left his own house to walk with God;
His faith beheld the promised land,
And cheered him on his toilsome road.

Who feel the joys of pardoned sin!

Made up of innocence and love;
And soft and silent as the shades,
Their nightly minutes gently move.
And longing hopes and cheerful smiles,
Sit undisturbed upon their brow.

But spend the day and share the night
In numbering o'er the richer joys
That heaven prepares for their delight.
493 Joy of consecration to Christ.
SWEETLY breathe the lyres above,
When angels touch the quiv'ring string,
And wake, to chant Immanuel's love,
Such strains as angel-lips can sing!
2 And sweet, on earth, the choral swell,
From mortal tongues, of gladsome lays;
When pardoned souls their raptures tell,
And, grateful, hymn Immanuel's praise.
3 Jesus, thy name our souls adore;
We own the bond that makes us thine;
And carnal joys, that charmed before,
For thy dear sake we now resign.
4 Our hearts, by dying love subdued,
Accept thine offered grace to-day;
3 Quick as their thoughts, their joys come on, Beneath the cross, with blood bedewed,
But fly not half so swift away;
Their souls are ever bright as noon,
And calm as summer evenings be.
4 How oft they look to th' heavenly hills,
Where groves of living pleasure grow!
14
We bow, and give ourselves away.
5 In thee we trust-on thee rely;
Though we are feeble, thou art strong;

All my sin, and temptation, and pain;

of grace, Who knows his sins for-given!
This earth, he cries, is not
2 A country far from mortal sight;
Yet, O, by faith I see
The land of rest, the saints' delight,
The heaven prepared for me.
3 0, what a blessed hope is ours!
While here on earth we stay,
my place; I seek my place in heaven.
We more than taste the heavenly powers,
And antedate that day.
4 We feel the resurrection near,
Our life in Christ concealed,
And with his glorious presence here,
Our earthen vessels filled.

491 True happiness.
OW happy is the Christian's state,
H His sins are all forgiven,
A cheering ray confirms the grace,
And lifts his hopes to heaven.
2 Though in the rugged path of life,
He heaves the pensive sigh,
Yet trusting in his God, he finds
Delivering grace is nigh.
3 If to prevent his wandering steps,
He feels the chastening rod,
The gentle stroke shall bring him back
To his forgiving God.
4 And when the welcome message comes
To call his soul away,
ele
His soul in rapture shall ascend
To everlasting day.
492 Joy, the fruit of the Spirit. Gal. 5: 22.
OY is a fruit that will not grow
In nature's barren soil:
All we can boast, 'till Christ we know,
Is vanity and toil.
2 But where the Lord has planted grace,
And made his glories known,
There fruits of heavenly joy and peace
Are found, and there alone.
3 A bleeding Savior, seen by faith,
A sense of pard'ning love,
A hope that triumphs over death,
Give joys like those above.
4 To take a glimpse within the vail,
To know that God is mine,
Are springs of joy that never fail,
Unspeakable, divine.
5 These are the joys that satisfy,
And sanctify the mind;
Which make the spirit mount on high,
And leave the world behind.
6 No more, believers, mourn your lot,
But if you are the Lord's,
Resign to them that know him not,
Such joys as earth affords.

498 Ye have the poor always with you.
Matt. 26: 11.
LORD, lead the way the Savior went,
By lane and obscure,
And let our treasures still be spent,
Like his, upon the poor.
2 Like him, through scenes of deep distress,
Who bore the world's sad weight,
We, in their gloomy loneliness,
Would seek the desolate.
3 For thou hast placed us side by side
In this wide world of ill;
And, that thy followers may be tried,
The poor are with us still.
4 Small are the offerings we can make
Yet thou hast taught us, Lord,
If given for the Savior's sake,
They lose not their reward..
510 Love and charity. 1 Cor. 13: 4-13.
ET Pharisees of high esteem
Their faith and zeal declare;
All their religion is a dream,
If love be wanting there.
2 Love suffers long with patient eye,
Nor is provoked in haste;
She lets the present injury die,
And long forgets the past.
3 Malice and rage, those fires of hell,
She quenches with her tongue;
Hopes and believes, and thinks no ill,
Though she endures the wrong.
4 She ne'er desires nor seeks to know
The scandals of the time,
5
Nor looks with pride on those below,
Nor envies those that climb.
She lays her own advantage by,
To seek her neighbor's good;
So God's own Son came down to die,
And bought our lives with blood.
6 Love is the grace that keeps her power
In all the realms above;
Their faith and hope are known no more,
But saints for ever love.

All that is done in heaven and hell,

TWhich gives me pow'rmay God to know; Still I am nothing without love.

Come not from instruments below.
2 Love is my teacher; he can tell
The wonders that he learnt above:
No other Master knows so well;
'T is love alone can tell of love.
3 Love is my Master: when it breaks,
The morning light, with rising ray,
3 Should I distribute all my store,
To feed the bowels of the poor;
Or give my body to the flame,
To gain a martyr's glorious name:
4 If love to God and love to men
Be absent, all my hopes are vain:
Nor tongues, nor gifts, nor fiery zeal,
The work of love can e'er fulfill.

514 To obey is better than sacrifice.
1 Sam. 15: 22.
TH' importance of a sacred rite
Depends upon the Lord;
For he's a being infinite,
And awful is his word.
2 If he a trifle shall command
His creatures to fulfill,
"Tis not a trifle to withstand
Or counteract his will.
3 Adam might think the thing but small,
And ventured to transgress;
But it produced a dreadful fall
To all the human race.
4 These may appear but little things
To do, or not to do;
But see what grievous evil springs
When not attended to.
5 Our business is to learn to know
Our great Redeemer's will,
And with alacrity to go
His pleasure to fulfill.
6 Whether the thing be great or small,
It matters not to us;
He is the Potter, and we all
Are vessels for his use.
519 The Christian's peace permanent.
John 14: 27.
HE world can neither give nor take,
T Nor can they comprehend,
The peace of God, which Christ has bought,
The peace which knows no end.
2 The burning bush was not consumed
While God remained there;
The three, when Jesus made the fourth,
Found fire as soft as air.
3 God's furnace doth in Zion stand;
But Zion's God sits by,
As the refiner views his gold,
With an observant eye.
4 His thoughts are high, his love is wise,
His wounds a cure intend;
And though he does not always smile,
He loves unto the end.
522 Rooted and built up in him. Col. 2; 7.
EACH me yet more of thy blest ways,
Thou holy Lamb of God;
And fix and root me in the grace
So dearly bought with blood.
2 O tell me often of each wound,
Of every grief and pain;
And let my heart with joy confess,
From hence comes all my gain.
3 For this, O may I freely count
Whate'er I have but loss;
And every name, and every thing,
Compared with thee, but 0-8.
4 Engrave this deeply on my heart
With an eternal pen:
That may, in some small degree,
Return thy love again.
523 Life a pilgrimage.
LORD; what a wretched land is this,
That yields us no supply-
No cheering fruits, no wholesome trees,
No streams of living joy!
2 Our journey is a thorny maze;
But we march upward still,
Forget these troubles of the ways,
And press to Zion's hill.
3 See the kind augels, at the gates,
Inviting us to come;
There Jesus, the Forerunner, waits
To welcome travelers home.
4 There, on the green and flowery mount,
Our weary souls shall sit,
And with transporting joy recount
The labors of our feet.
5 Eternal glory to the King
Whose hand conducts us through;
Our tongues shall never cease to sing,
And endless praise renew.
524 "As unknown, and yet well known."
2 Cor. 6: 9.
W of travelers are these,
WHAT poor, despised company
Who walk in yonder narrow way
Along the rugged maze?
2 Ah! these are of a royal line,
All children of a King;
Heirs of immortal crowns divine,
And, lo! for joy they sing.
3 Why do they, then, appear so mean,
And why so much despised?
Because of their rich robes, unseen,
The world is not apprised.
4 But some of them seem poor distressed,
And lacking daily bread;
O! they'er of boundless wealth possessed,
With hidden manna fed?
5 But why keep they the narrow road,
That rugged, thorny maze?
Why, that's the way their Leader trod;
They love and keep his ways.
6 Why must they shun that pleasant path
That worldlings love so well?
Because that is the way to death;
The open road to hell.
7 What! is there then no other road
To Salem's happy ground?
Christ is the only way to God;
None other can be found.

No more on storm-y seas to roam, She hails her haven in the skies:
But cheerless are those heavenly fields,

2 The cherub near the viewless throne
Smiteth the harp with trembling hand;
And one with incense fire hath flown,
To touch with flame the angel-band;
But tuneless is the quivering string;
No melody can Gabriel bring;
Mute are its arches, when above
The harps of heaven wake not to love!
3 Earth, sea and sky, one language speak,
In harmony that soothes the soul;
'T is heard when scarce the zephyrs wake,
And when on thunders thunders roll:
That voice is heard, and tumults cease;
It whispers to the bosom peace;
Speak, thou Inspirer, from above,
And cheer our hearts, celestial Love!

And wait contented our discharge,

We smile amid our heaviest woes,
And triumph in our sharpest pains.

And arm with fortitude the breast,
Till life's tumultuous voyage o'er-
We reach the shores of endless rest!
5 Faith into vision shall resign;
Hope shall in full fruition die;
And Patience in possession end
In the bright worlds of bliss on high.
520 They are without fault. Rev. 14: 5.

H Where angels and archangels dwell;

One link of all his former chain.

When glory crowns the Christian's head;
One view of Jesus as he is,

PRAIS
James 1: 17.
RAISE to God, immortal praise,
For the love that crowns our days!
Bounteous source of every joy,
Let thy praise our tongues employ.
2 For the blessings of the field,
For the stores the gardens yield;
For the vines exalted juice,
For the generous olive's use.
3 Flocks that whiten all the plain;
Yellow sheaves of ripened grain;
Clouds that drop their fatt'ning dews;
Suns that temperate warmth diffuse:
4 All that Spring, with bounteous hand,
Scatters o'er the smiling land;
All that liberal Autumn pours
From her rich o'erflowing stores:
5 These to thee, my God, we owe,
Source whence all our blessings flow;
And for these my soul shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise.
792 The pearl of great price.

'Tis religion must supply
Solid comfort when we die.

Lasting as eternity!

Then my bliss shall never end.

526 Prayer answered by crosses.
ASKED the Lord that I might grow
In faith, and love, and every grace;
Might more of his salvation know,
And seek more earnestly his face.
2 I hoped that in some favored hour
At once he'd answer my request;
And by his love's constraining power,
Subdue my sins, and give me rest.
3 Instead of this, he made me feel
The hidden evils of my heart,
And let the angry powers of hell
Assault my soul in every part.
4 Yea more, with his own hand he seemed
Intent to aggravate my woe;
Crossed all the fair designs I schemed,
Blasted my hopes, and laid me low.
5 "Lord, why is this," I trembling cried-
"Wilt thou pursue thy worm to death!"
""T is in this way," the Lord replied,
"I answer prayer for grace and faith."
6 "These inward trials I employ,
From self, and pride, to set thee free;
And break thy schemes of earthly joy,
That thou may'st seek thy all in me."
534 Prayer for the Jews.
F
ATHER of faithful Abrah'm, hear
Our earnest suit for Abrah'm's seed;
Justly they claim the tenderest prayer
From us, adopted in their stead.
2 Outcast from thee, and scattered wide
Through every nation under heaven,
Blaspheming whom they crucified,
Unsaved, unpitied, unforgiven.
3 But hast thou finally forsook,
For ever cast thine own away?
Wilt thou not bid the murd'rers look
Ou him they pierc'd, and weep and pray.
4 Come then, thou great Deliv'rer, come;
The vail from Jacob's heart remove;
O bring thine ancient people home,
And let them know thy dying love.
G
537 Prayer for a revival. Hab. 3: 2.
REAT Lord, of all thy churches, hear
Thy minister's and people's prayer;
Perfumed by thee, O may it rise,
Like fragrant incense to the skies.
2 Revive thy churches with thy grace;
Forgive our sins, and grant us peace;
Rouse us from sloth, our hearts inflame
With ardent zeal for Jesus' name.
3 May young and old thy word receive,
Dead sinners hear thy voice and live;
4
The wounded conscience healing find,
And joy refresh each drooping mind.
May aged saints, matured with grace,
Abound in fruits of holiness;
And when translated to the skies,
May younger in their stead arise.
5 Thus we our suppliant voices raise,
And, weeping, sow the seed of praise,
In humble hope that thou wilt hear
Thy minister's and people's prayer.
547 Duty to the erring. James 5: 20.
TOULDST thou an erring soul redeem,
2
3
W And lead a lost one back to God;
Wouldst thou a guardian angel seem
To one who long in guilt hath trod?
Go kindly to him-take his hand,
With gentlest words, within thine own;
Till thou the demon, sin, dethrone.
And by his side a brother stand
Scorn not the guilty, then, but plead
With him in kindest, gentlest mood,
And back the lost one thou mayest lead
To God, humanity and good!
4 Thou art thyself but man, and thou
Art weak, perchance, to fall as he;
Then mercy to the fallen show,
That mercy may be shown to thee!
549 The believer's safety 1 Pet. 3: 13.
Those heart the blood of Jesus knows,
HAT man, no guard or weapon needs,
But safe may pass, if duty leads,
Thro, burning sands, or mountain snows.
2 Released from guilt, he feels no fear,
Redemption is his shield and tower;
He sees his Savior always near,
To help in every trying hour.
3 Though I am weak, and Satan strong,
And often to assault me tries;
When Jesus is my shield and song,
Abashed the wolf before me flies.
4 His love possessing, I am blest,
Secure whatever change may come
Whether I go to east or west,
With him I still shall be at home.
5 If placed beneath the northern pole,
Tho, winter reigns with rigor there,
His gracious beams would cheer my soul,
And make a spring throughout the year.
6 Or if the desert's sun-burnt soil
My lonely dwelling e'er should prove,
His presence would support my toil,
Whose smile is life, whose voice is love.

3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech
That infant lips can try;
Prayer the sublimest strains that reach
The Majesty on high.
4 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice
Returning from his ways,
While angels in their songs rejoice,

5 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath,

His watchword at the gate of death;
He enters heaven with prayer.
640 Brevity and uncertainty of life.
Psalm 39: 4-7.
THEE we adore, Eternal Name,
And humbly own to thee,
How feeble is our mortal frame,
What dying worms are we!
2 Our wasting lives grow shorter still,
As months and days increase,
And every beating pulse we tell,
Leaves but the number less.
3 The year rolls round, and steals away
The breath that first it gave;
Whate'er we do, whate'er we be,
We're traveling to the grave.
4 Dangers stand thick thro' all the ground,
To push us to the tomb;
And fierce diseases wait around,
To hurry mortals home.
5 Infinite joy, or wretched wo,
Attend on every breath:
And yet how unconcerned we go,
Upon the brink of death!
6 Waken, O Lord, our drowsy sense,
To walk this dangerous road;
And if our souls are hurried hence,
May they be found with God.
678 It is good to be here. Matt. 17: 4.
ORD, when together here we meet,
And taste thy heavenly grace,
Thy smiles are so divinely sweet,
We're loth to leave the place.
2 But, Father, since it is thy will
That we must part again,
O, may thy special presence still
With every one remain.
3 And let us all in Christ be one,
Bound with the cords of love;
Till we, before thy glorious throne,
Shall joyful meet above.
4 All sin and sorrow from each heart
Shall then for ever fly;
Nor shall a thought that we must part
Once interrupt our joy.

And save me from despair!
4 To thee, my God, alone I look,
On thee alone confide;
Thou never hast deceived the soul
That on thy grace relied.
If I am wrong, O teach my heart
To find that better way.
3 Save me alike from foolish pride
Or impious discontent,
At aught thy wisdom has denied,
Or aught thy goodness lent.

2 There is a place where Jesus sheds
The oil of gladness on our heads;
A place of all on earth most sweet-
It is the blood-bought mercy-seat.
3 There is a scene, where spirits blend,
Where friend holds fellowship with friend;
Though sundered far, by faith they meet,
Around one common mercy-seat.
4 Ah! whither could we flee for aid,
When tempted, desolate, dismayed?
Or how the hosts of hell defeat,
Had suffering saints no mercy-seat?
5 There, there on eagles' wings we soar,
And sin and sense molest no more;
And heaven comes down our souls to greet,
While glory crowns the mercy-seat.

W In coming to a mercy-seat;

Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw;
Gives exercise to faith and love-
Gives every blessing from above.

Prayer makes the Christian's armor bright;
And Satan trembles when he sees
The weakest saint upon his knees.

WHAT strange perplexities arise!
What anxious fears and jealousies!
What crowds in doubtful light appear;
How few, alas, approved and clear!
2 And what am I? My soul, awake,
Does no dark sign, no ground of fear,
And an impartial survey take:
In practice or in heart appear?
3 What image does my spirit bear?
Is Jesus formed and living there?
Say, do his lineaments divine
In thought, in word, and action shine?
4 Searcher of hearts, O search me still;
The secrets of my soul reveal;
To God and my own conscience clear.
My fears remove, let me appear
5 May I at that blest world arrive,
Where Christ through all my soul shall live,
And give full proof that he is there,
Without one gloomy doubt or fear!

4 Give faith in that one Sacrifice
Which can for sin atone;
To cast our hopes, to fix our eyes
On Christ-On Christ alone.
5 Give patience still to wait and weep,
Though mercy long delay-
Courage our fainting souls to keep,
And trust thee though thou slay.

Beneath the wing of night;
There is an ear that never shuts,
When sink the beams of light.

When human strength gives way;
There is a love that never fails,
When earthly loves decay.
3 That eye is fixed on seraph throngs,
That arm upholds the sky;
That ear is filled with angel songs;
That love is throned on high.
4 But there's a power which man can wield
When mortal aid is vain,
That eye, that arm, that love to reach,
That listening ear to gain.
5 That power is prayer, which soars on high,
Through Jesus, to the throne;
And moves the hand which moves the world,
To bring salvation down!

There no angry tempest blows!

2 The Christian hates his every sin-
Evils external or within;
And with an humble, contrite heart,
From all that's sinful doth depart.
3 The Christian has a faith divine,
And doth to faith obedience join;
Believes the truth, the truth obeys
And always walks in holy ways.
4 The Christian is a man of God-
He takes the pure, the heavenly road;.
All his affections rise above,
And all his heart is full of love.
5 To thee, O Lord, my soul aspires,
And kindles with seraphic fires;
The real Christian I would be,
And live conformed to heaven and thee,
554 The cup of suffering. Matt. 26: 42.
EAR Lord! though bitter is the cup
Thy gracious hand deals out to me,
I cheerfully would drink it up;
That can not hurt which comes from thee.
2 Mix it with thy unchanging love;
Let not a drop of wrath be there!
The saints for ever blest above,
Were often most afflicted here.
3 From Jesus, thy incarnate Son,
I'll learn obedience to thy will;
And humbly kiss the chast'ning rod,
When its severest strokes I feel.
558 War against evil proclaimed.
Matt. 10: 34.
JESUS, my king proclaims the war;
"Awake! the powers of hell are near;
To arms! to arms!" I hear him cry;
"T is yours to conquer or to die!"
2 Roused by the animating sound,
I cast my eager eyes around;
I haste to gird my armor on,
And bid each trembling fear be gone.
3 Hope is my helmet, faith my shield;
The word of God the sword I wield;
With sacred truth my loins are girt;
And holy zeal inspires my heart.
Thus armed I venture on the fight,
Resolved to put my foes to flight,
While Jesus kindly deigns to spread
His conquering banner o'er my head.
5 In him I hope, in him I trust;
4
His bleeding cross is all my boast;
In long array, a numerous host;
Awake, my soul! or thou art lost.

556 Watching against evil talk.
Psalm 39: 1.

"Now will I watch my tongue,
Lest I let slip one sinful word,
Or do my neighbor wrong."

With men of lives profane,
I'll set a double guard that day,
Nor let my talk be vain.
3.
I'll scarce allow my lips to speak
The pious thoughts I feel,
Lest scoffers should the occasion take
To mock my holy zeal.
4 Yet, if some proper hour appear,
I'll not be overawed,
But let the scoffing sinners hear
That I can speak for God.

A follower of the Lamb?

On flowery beds of ease,
Whilst others fought to win the prize,
And sailed 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 me on to God?
4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign?
Increase my courage, Lord;
I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by thy word.
5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war,
Shall conquer, though they die;
They view the triumph from afar,
And seize it with their eye.

And all thy armies shine,
In robes of victory, through the skies,
The glory shall be thine.

It is, that thou art free.
And thus shall faith's consoling power
The tears of love restrain:
O, who that saw thy parting hour
Could wish thee here again?
3 Triumphant in thy closing eye
The hope of glory shone;
Joy breathed in thy expiring sigh,
To think the race was run.

Sustained by grace divine;
O, may such grace on us be shed,
And make our end like thine.

And honor that descends from God.

And all her flowery paths are peace.

AWAKE, my zeal, awake my love,

In works which perfect saints above

The hungry soul, and clothe the poor;
In heaven are found no sons of need;
There all these duties are no more.

NAUWETA-Continued.
Death of an infant.
10 fades the lovely, blooming flower,
Frail, smiling solace of an hour;
So soon our transient comforts fly,
And pleasure only blooms to die.
2 Is there no kind, no healing art,
To soothe the anguish of the heart?
Divine Redeemer, be thou nigh:
Thy comforts were not made to die.
3 Then gentle patience smiles on pain,
And dying hope revives again;
Hope wipes the tear from sorrow's eye,
And faith points upward to the sky.
569 Weep not for the dead. Jer. 22: 10.
HY for those, frail child of woe,
4 So, through the ocean-tide of years,
The memory of the just appears;
So, through the tempest and the gloom,
The good man's virtues light the tomb.
572 Death only sometimes pleasant.
And golden hopes the spirit greet,
And youth prepares his joy to meet,
Alas! how hard it is to die.
2 When scarce is seized some borrowed prize,
And duties press; and tender ties
Forbid the soul from earth to rise,.
How awful, then, it is to die.
3 When, one by one, those ties are torn,
And friend from friend is snatched forlorn,
W who'veled and left thee mourning here. And man is left alone to mourn,
Triumphant o'er their latest foe,
They glory in a brighter sphere.
2 Weep not for them; beside thee now
Perhaps they watch with guardian care,
And witness tears that idly flow
O'er those who bliss of angels share.
3 Or round their Father's throne above,
With raptured voice, his praise they sing,
Or on his messages of love
They journey with unwearied wing.
4 Space can not check, tho't can not bound,
The high exulting souls, whom he
Who formed these million worlds around,
Takes to his own eternity.
5 Then weep no more-their voices raise
The song of triumph high to God,
And wouldst thou join their song of praise,
Walk humbly in the path they trod.
571 The memory of the just. Prov. 10: 7.
ARTH'S transitory things decay,
Its pomps, its pleasures pass away;
But the sweet memory of the good
Survives in the vicissitude.
E
2 As 'mid the ever-rolling sea,
The eternal isles established be,
'Gainst which the surges of the main
Fret, dash, and break themselves in vain:
3 As, in the heavens, the urns divine
Of golden light for ever shine;
Tho' clouds may darken, storms may rage,
They still shine on from age to age:
Ah! then, how easy 'tis to die.
4 When trembling limbs refuse their weight,
And films, slow gathering, dim the sight,
And clouds obscure the mental light,
'Tis nature's precious boon to die.
5 When faith is strong, and conscience clear,
And words of peace the spirit cheer,
And visioned glories half appear,
'Tis joy, 'tis triumph, then, to die.
573 The death of the righteous. Num. 23:10.
H When sinks a weary soul to rest!
OW blest the righteous when he dies!
How mildly beam the closing eyes!
How gently heaves th' expiring breast!
2 So fades a summer cloud away;
So sinks the gale when storms are o'er;
So gentle shuts the eye of day;
So dies a wave along the shore.
3 A holy quiet reigns around,
A calm which life nor death destroys;
And naught disturbs that peace profound
Which his unfettered soul enjoys.
4 Farewell, conflicting hopes and fears.
Where light and shade alternate dwell;
How bright th' unchanging morn appears!
Farewell, inconstant world, farewell.
5
Life's labor done, as sinks the clay,
Light from its load the spirit flies,
While heaven and earth combine to say,
"How blest the righteous when he dies."

3 There is a world above,
Where parting is unknown;
A whole eternity of love,
Formed for the good alone;
And faith beholds the dying here
Translated to that happier sphere.
4 Thus star by star declines,

As morning high and higher shines,
To pure and perfect day;
Nor sink those stars in empty night-
They hide themselves in heaven's own light.

579 Death of an infant.
For music see next page.
A But withers in the rising day,
S the sweet flow'r that scents the morn,
Thus lovely was this infant's dawn,
Thus swiftly fled its life away.
2 It died ere its expanding soul
Had ever burnt with wrong desires,
Had ever spurned at heaven's control,
Or ever quenched its sacred fires.
3 Yet the sad hour that took the boy
Perhaps has spared a heavier doom-
Snatched him from scenes of guilty joy,
Or from the pangs of ill to come.
4 He died to sin; he died to care:
But for a moment felt the rod;
Then, rising on the viewless air,
Spread his light wings and soared to God.
580
W
Death the gate of heaven.
HY should we start, and fear to die?
What tim'rous worms we mortals are,
Death is the gate of endless joy,
And yet we dread to enter there.
2 The pains, the groans, the dying strife,
Fright our approaching souls away,
Still we shrink back again to life,
Fond of our prison and our clay.
3 0! if my Lord would come and meet,
My soul should stretch her wings in haste,
Fly fearless through death's iron gate,
Nor feel the terrors as she passed.
4 Jesus can make a dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are,
While on his breast I lean my head,
And breathe my life out sweetly there.

Escaped the prison of his clay,

Ye winds! that wafted oft his sighs,
Ye mountains! where he breath'd his pray'rs
When sorrow's shadow vailed his eyes-
3 No more the weary pilgrim mourns,
No more affliction wrings his heart;
Th' unfettered soul to God returns-
Forever he and anguish part!
4 Receive, O earth, his faded form
In thy cold bosom let it lie:
Safe let it rest from every storm-
Soon must it rise, no more to die,
588 The Christian's parting hour.

TOW sweet the hour of closing day,
H When all is peaceful and serene,
And when the sun, with cloudless ray,
Sheds mellow luster o'er the scene!
Such is the Christian's parting hour;
So peacefully he sinks to rest;
When faith, endued from heaven with pow'r
Sustains and cheers his languid breast.
3 Mark but that radiance of his eye,
That smile upon his wasted cheek:
They tell us of his glory nigh,
In language that no tongue can speak.
4 A beam from heaven is sent to cheer
The pilgrim on his gloomy road;
And angels are attending near,
To bear him to their bright abode.
5 Who would not wish to die like those
Whom God's own Spirit deigns to bless?
To sink into that soft repose,
Then wake to perfect happiness?

Deliverance at hand.
M The passing moments say,
span of life will soon be done.
As length'ning shadows o'er the mead,
Proclaim the close of day.
O that my heart might dwell aloof,
From all created things,
And learn that wisdom from above,
Whence true contentment springs!
2 Courage, my soul, thy bitter cross,
In every trial here,
Shall bear thee to thy heaven above,
But shall not enter there.
The sighing ones that humbly seek,
In sorrowing paths below,
Shall in eternity rejoice,
Where endless comforts flow.
3 Soon will the toilsome strife be o'er
Of sublunary care,
And life's dull vanities no more
This anxious breast ensnare.
Courage, my soul, on God rely,
Deliverance soon will come,
A thousand ways has Providence,
To bring believers home.
4 Ere first I drew this vital breath,
From nature's prison free,
Crosses in number, measure, weight,
Were written, Lord, for me,
But thou, my Shepherd, Friend & Guide,

MARTYRS. C. M.
1 Ye mourning saints whose stream - ing tears Flow o'er your chil-dren dead,
Say not in trans- ports of
de-spair, That all
your hopes are
fled.
2 While cleaving to that darling dust,
In fond distress ye lie,
Rise and with joy and reverence view
A heavenly parent nigh.
3 Tho' your young branches torn away,
Like withered trunks ye stand,
With fairer verdure shall
ye bloom,
Touched by th' Almighty's hand.
4 "I'll give the mourner," saith the Lord,
"In my own house a place;
No names of daughters and of sons,
Could yield so high a grace.
5 "Transient and vain is every hope,
A rising race can give,
In endless honor and delight,
My children all shall live."
6 We welcome, Lord, those rising tears,
Through which thy face we see,
And bless those wounds which through our
Prepare a way for thee.

And think how near it stands,
When thou must quit this house of clay,
And fly to unknown lands.
2 And you, mine eyes, look down and view
The hollow gaping tomb:
This gloomy prison waits for you,
Whene'er the summons come.
30 could we die with those who die,,
And place us in their stead!
Then would our spirits learn to fly,
And converse with the dead.
4 Then should we see the saints above,
In their own glorious forms,
And wonder why our souls should love
To dwell with mortal worms.
5 How we should scorn these clothes of flesh,
These fetters and this load;
And long for evening to undress,
That we may rest with God..
6 We should almost forsake our clay
Before the summons come,
And pray, and wish our souls away,
To their eternal home.

WARF up, my muse, condole the loss
Of those who mourn this day;
Let tears run down on every face,
And every mourner pray.

And here his power to show,
With icy hand he touched this child,
And laid its visage low.

3 No more the pleasant child is
To please the parents' eye;
The tender plant, so fresh and green,
Is in eternity.
4 The golden bowl by death is broke,
The pitcher burst in twain;
The cistern wheel has felt the stroke,
The pleasant child is slain.
5 The winding sheet unfolds its limbs,
The coffin holds it fast;
To-day 't is seen by all its friends,
But this must be the last-

The nations great and small;
When you and I the test shall stand,

Beautiful emblems, etc.
EHOLD the western evening light!
It melts in deep'ning gloom;
So calmly Christians sink away,
Descending to the tomb.
2 The winds breathe low; the yellow leaf
Scarce whispers from the tree;
So gently flows the parting breath,
When good men cease to be.
3 How beautiful on all the hills
The crimson light is shed!
"T is like the peace the Christian gives
To mourners round his bed.
4 How mildly on the wandering cloud
The sunset beam is cast!
So sweet the memory left behind,
When loved ones breathe their last.
5 And lo, above the dews of night
The vesper star appears;
So faith lights up the mourner's heart,
Whose eyes are dim with tears.
6 Night falls, but soon the morning light
Its glories shall restore;
And thus the eyes that sleep in death
Shall wake to close no more.
596 We are warned of death.
B'
ENEATH our feet, and o'er our head
Is equal warning given;
Beneath us lie the countless dead,
Above us is the heaven.
2 Their names are graven on the stone,
Their bones are in the clay;
And ere another day is done,
Ourselves may be as they.
3 Death rides on every passing breeze;
He lurks in every flower;
Each season has its own disease,
Its peril every hour.
4 Our eyes have seen the rosy light
Of youth's soft cheek decay,
And fate descend in sudden night
On manhood's middle day.
5 Turn, mortal, turn; thy danger know;
Where'er thy foot can tread,
The earth rings hollow from below,
And warns thee of her dead.
597 The righteous hath hope in his death.

Again life's dreary waste,

With all the gloomy past.
3 My home henceforth is in the skies;
Earth, seas, and sun, adieu!
All heaven unfolded to my eyes,
I have no sight for you.

1 Fare-well, bright soul, a short farewell, Till we
shall meet again a-bove:
In the sweet groves where pleas-ures dwell, And trees of life bear fruits of love.
2 There glory sits on every face,
There friendship smiles in every eye;
There shall our tongues relate the grace
That led us homeward to the sky.
3 O'er all the names of Christ, our King,
Shall our harmonious voices rove;
Our harps shall sound from every string
The wonders of his bleeding love.
4 Come, sov'reign Lord! dear Savior, come!
Remove these separating days;
Send thy bright wheels to fetch us home,
That golden hour, how long it stays?
5 How long must we lie lingering here,
While saints around us take their flight?
Smiling they quit this dusky sphere,
And mount the hills of heavenly light.
6 Sweet soul, we leave thee to thy rest,
Enjoy thy Jesus and thy God,
Till we, from bands of clay released,
Spring out and climb the shining road.

The widow's God.
N this lone hour of deep distress,
When heavy sorrows round me press,
Encouraged by thy gracious word,
I trust thee as the widow's God.
2 A husband lies in death's embrace,
The grave is now his resting-place;
O, as I pass beneath thy rod,
Reveal thyself the widow's God.
3 Assuage my grief, remove my fears,
Suppress my murmuring, dry my tears;
Help me to own thee as my lord,
And bless thee as the widow's God.
4
Be thou my counselor and stay,
Protect by night, and guide by day;
Then, as I travel life's rough road,
I'll praise thee as the widow's God.

They are not lost, but
gone before.
3 Dear is the spot where Christians sleep,
And sweet the strain which angels pour:
O why should we in anguish weep?
They are not lost-but gone before.

And hear the swelling waters roar,
Jesus, convey us safely home,
To friends not lost-but gone before.

YES, she is gone vet do not thou
The goodness of the Lord distrust;
But meekly to his wisdom bow,
Who lays thy loved one in the dust.
The form is there-but seek not there
The spirit born for light and love;
Look upward-free from sin and care,
It rests in joy with God above.
2 Through many checkered scenes of life,
Ye, hand in hand have journeyed on;
For her the labor and the strife
Are o'er-the peaceful goal is won,
Be thy pure spirit present with the Lord,
Where thou for faith and hope hast perfect love,
And open vision for the written word.
Which oft hath sooth'd thy harrass'd mind,
The pleasant voice and cheering smile,
Are gone but for a little while,
She hath not left thee far behind.
3 Then mourn not that an heir of
grace,
Has reached the goal of hope and faith,
Press onward in the Christian race;
Brief is your parting now by death;
Soon thou too wilt be called to leave
This earth, where sadly thou dost roam;
Soon joyfully wilt thou receive,
In heaven her gentle "Welcome Home."

Luke 24: 5.
H! why should bitter tears be shed
In sorrow o'er the mounded sod,
When verily there are no dead
Of all the children of our God?
2 They who are lost to outward sense
Have but flung off their robes of clay,
And clothed in heavenly radiance,
Attends us on our lowly way.
3 And oft their spirits breathe in ours
The hope and strength and love of theirs,
Which bloom as bloom the early flowers
In breath of summer's viewless airs.
4 And silent aspirations start,
In promptings of their purer thought,
Which gently lead the troubled heart
To joys not even hope had wrought.
5 While sorrow's tears our eyes have wet
Shed o'er the consecrated dust,
Too much our darkened souls forget
The lessons of enduring trust.
6 Let living Faith serenely pour
Her sunlight on our pathway dim,
And Death can have no terrors more;
But holy Joy shall walk with him.

4 I hope to meet my brethren there,
Who once did join with me in prayer;
Our mourning time shall then be o'er,

Pass'd thro' the grave, and bless'd the bed;
Rest here, blest saint, till, from his throne,

Restore thy trust: a glorious form
Shall then arise to meet the Lord.

2 In those dark silent realms of night,
Shall peace and hope no more arise?
No future morning light the tomb,
Nor day-star gild the darksome skies?
3 Cease, cease, ye vain, desponding fears!
When Christ, our Lord, from darkness
sprang,
Death, the last foe, was captive led,
And heaven with praise and wonder rang.
4 Faith sees the bright eternal doors
Unfold to make her children way;
They shall be clothed with endless life,
And shine in everlasting day.

HE broken ties of happier days,
How often do they seem
To come before the mental gaze,
Like a remembered dream;
And earthly hand can ne'er again
Unite these broken ties,
Around us each dissevered chain
In sparkling ruin lies.
2 0, who, in such a world as this,
Could bear their lot of pain,
Did not one radiant hope of bliss
Unclouded yet remain?
That hope the sovereign Lord has giv'n,
Who reigns above the skies:
Hope that unites our souls to heaven,
By faith's endearing ties.
3 Each care, each ill of mortal birth,
Is sent in pitying love
To lift the lingering heart from earth,
And speed its flight above..
And every pang that wrings the breast,
And every joy that dies,
Tells us to seek a purer rest,
And trust to holier ties.
2 Then they who live shall changed be,
And they who sleep shall wake;
The grave shall yield their ancient charge,
While earth's foundations shake,

In this our last retreat,
Unheeded, o'er our silent dust,

That heaven allows to men :
And pains and sins run thro' the round
Of three score years and ten.
3 Well, if ye must be sad and few,
Run on, my days, in haste;
Moments of sin, and months of woe,
Ye can not flow too fast.
THE time draw nigh, when from the clouds 4 Let heavenly love prepare my soul,
Christ shall with shouts descend,
And the last trumpet's awful voice
The heavens and earth shall rend.
And call to the skies,
Where years of long salvation roll,
And glory never dies.

From thy temple in the skies,
Hear thy people's supplications,
Now for their deliverance rise.
Though our sins, our hearts confounding,
Long and loud for vengeance call,
Thou hast mercy more abounding;
Jesus' blood can cleanse them all.

Let that blood our guilt efface;
Save thy people from oppression;
Save from spoil thy holy place.

Humbly at thy feet we bend;

Hear us, spare us and defend.

The moment after death
N vain our fancy strives to paint,
The moment after death-
The glories that surround a saint,
When he resigns his breath.
2 One gentle sigh his fetters breaks;
One effort and he's gone!
And lo! the willing spirit takes
Its mansion near the throne.
3 We strive, but all our efforts fail
To trace that upward flight:
No eye can pierce within the vail
Which hides the world of light.
4 Yet, though we see them not, we know
Saints are supremely blest;
And freed from sin, and care, and woe,
And with their Savior rest.
5 On harps of gold his name they praise,
His face they always view;
And if we here their footsteps trace,
There we shall praise him too.

The pilgrimage of life.
UR country is Immanuel's ground-
We seek that promised soil;
The songs of Zion cheer our hearts,
While strangers here we toil.
2 Oft do our eyes with joy o'erflow,
And oft are bathed in tears;
Yet naught but heaven our hopes can raise,
And naught but sin our fears.
The flowers that spring along the road
We scarcely stoop to pluck:
We walk o'er beds of shining ore,
Nor waste one wishful look.
4 We tread the path our Master trod;
We bear the cross he bore;
And every thorn that wounds our feet
His temples pierced before.

Arise from the shades of the tomb.

When these aching heart-strings shall

When death shall extinguish these eyes,

Our life its precious hours destroys;
While death stands watching at our side,
Eager to stop the living tide.

Your Maker gave you here a place?
Was it for this his thoughts designed
The frame of your immortal mind?

He fashioned all the sons of time;
Then let us every day give heed,
That we his servants be indeed.

And one ere long will be our last;
There is a point no eyes can see,
Yet on it hangs eternity.
3 This is that moment-who shall tell,
Whether it leads to heaven or hell?
This is that moment--as we choose,
Th' immortal soul we save, or loose.
4 Time past and time to come are not-
Time present is our only lot;
O God! henceforth our hearts incline,
To seek no other love than thine.

HAPPY day when saints shall meet
To part no more; the thought is sweet;
No more to feel the rending smart,
Oft felt below when Christians part.
2 O happy place, I still must say,
Where all but love is done away;
All cause of parting there is past;
Their social feast will ever last.
3 Such union here is sought in vain,
As there, in every heart will reign;
There separation can't compel
The saints to bid the sad farewell.
4 On earth, when friends together meet,
And find the passing moments sweet;
Time's rapid motions soon compel,
With grief to say-dear friends, farewell.
5 The happy season soon will come, [home;
When saints shall meet in heaven, their
Eternally with Christ to dwell,
Nor ever hear the sound, farewell.
Gen. 2: 18.
T si not good, Jehovah said,
For man new formed to be alone;
Then of his rib an help-meet made,
And man and wife pronounced but one.
2 From near this heart this rib he took,
To show the favor should be prized;
Not from his head, to overlook,
Nor from his foot, to be despised.
3 Beneath his arm, to signify
Wives should authority disclaim,
And that protection and supply
Are from the husbands due to them.
4 Bless, Lord, this newly-married pair,
And make the match a blessing prove;
Their interest one, their joys, their care,
Made happy in each other's love.
5 Jesus, we ask thy presence here;
O may thy face upon us shine;
Thy goodness more our hearts can cheer,
Than costliest food or richest wine.

Rev. 21: 4.
HERE is a land mine eye hath seen,
Tin visions of enraptured thought,
So bright that all which spreads between
Is with its radiant glory fraught.
2 A land upon whose blissful shore
There rests no shadow, falls no stain;
There those who meet shall part no more,
And those long parted meet again.
3 Its skies are not like earthly skies,
With varying hues of shade and light;
It hath no need of suns to rise,
To dissipate the gloom of night.

Across that calm, serene abode:
The wand'rer there a home may find,
Within the paradise of God.

For there are known no evening hours.

With purest radiance all its own:
The streams of uncreated light
Flow round it from th' eternal throne.
4 It is all holy and serene,
The land of glory and repose;
No cloud obscures the radiant scene;
There not a tear of sorrow flows.

May seek to view the fair abode,
Or find it in the starry sky:

PILGRIMS, with pleasure let us part,
The pilgrim's farewell.
Since we are of one mind and heart;
No length of days, no distant place,
Can ever break these bands of grace.
2 Parting with joy, we'll join and sing
The wonders of our bleeding King;
Our distant bodies may remove,
But nothing can divide our love.
3 In vain may earth and hell combine
To quench that love which is divine;
It will not cease with dying breath,
Nor cool when we are cold in death,
4 Now, joined in love in Jesus' name,
Let's part and fly to spread his fame,
That other souls may leave their woe,
And join with us in glory too.
5 A few more rolling days and years,
Shall bring a period to our tears,
Soon shall we reach the blissful shore,
Where parting shall be knwon no more.
6 There shall our souls adore the hand
That led us through this desert land,
Lose all our griefs, forget our pains,
And join in everlasting strains.
748 For the hiding of God's countenance.
3 But, ah! both heav'n and earth have heard
Our vile requital of his love;
We, whom like children he has reared,
For all his care unthankful prove.
See! he uplifts his chastening rod!
O, where are now the faithful few,
Who tremble for the ark of God,
And know what Israel ought to do?
5 Lord, hear thy people every where,
Who meet this day to weep and pray;
Our sinful land in mercy spare,
In mercy turn thy wrath away!

Grateful review.
OUR helper, God, we bless thy name,
Whose love for ever is the same;
The tokens of thy gracious care
Begin, and crown, and close the year.
2 Amid ten thousand snares we stand,
Supported by thy guardian hand;
And see, when we review our ways,
Ten thousand monuments of praise.
3 Thus far thine arm has led us on;
Thus far we make thy mercy known;
And while we tread this desert land,
New mercies shall new songs demand.
Isai. 8: 17. 4 Our grateful souls on Jordan's shore,
Shall raise one sacred pillar more;
Then bear, in thy bright courts above,
Inscriptions of immortal love.
LOWD, in these dark and dismal days,
We mourn the hidings of thy face;
And when to happier days we turn,
Those days but teach us how to mourn.
2 The blessing from thy truth withdrawn,
Its quickening, saving influence gone-
Unwarned, unwakened, sinners hear,
Nor see their awful danger near.
3 In dews unseen, or scanty showers,
Thy Spirit sheds its healing powers;
The thirsty ground is parched beneath,
And all is barrenness and death.
4 Yet still thy name be ever blessed,
On thee our hope shall safely rest:
Thy saints shall yet exult and sing
The matchless glories of their King.

2 Long has thy favor crowned our days,
And summer shed again its rays;
No deadly cloud our sky has vailed;

3 Our harvest months have o'er us rolled,
And filied our fields with waving gold;
Our tables spread, our garners stored!
Where are our hearts to praise the Lord?
How long hath God bestowed his care 4 The solemn harvest comes apace,
On this indulged, ungrateful land!
How oft in times of danger near,
Preserved us by his sovereign hand.
2 Here peace and liberty have dwelt,
The closing day of life and grace;
Time of decision, awful hour!
Around it let no tempests lower!
5 Prepare us, Lord, by grace divine,
Like stars in heaven to rise and shine;
Then shall our happy souls above
Reap the full harvest of thy love!
The glorious gospel brightly shone;
And oft our mightiest foes have felt
That God hath made our cause his own.

In shining garments meet their King,
And low adore him there.
5 Would bounteous heav'n indulge my pray'r 5 O may our humble spirits stand
A nobler choice I'd frame,
Than here to be esteemed great,
Or gain an earthly name.
6 But in thy book of life divine,
My God! inscribe my name:
There let it fill some humble place
Beneath the slaughtered Lamb.
Among them clothed in white,
The meanest place at his right hand,
Is infinite delight.
6 How will our joy and wonder rise,
When our returning King,
Shall bear us homeward through the skies,
On love's triumphant wing!
646 Thy eyes shall see the King in his beauty.653
Isaiah 33: 17.
ERUSALEM! Jerusalem!
It is not to behold
The glory of thy Jasper-walls,
Thy streets of purest gold;
2 To see the twelve Apostles' names
Upon thy bulwark traced;
Thy gates-each one a solid pearl,
By each an angel placed;
3 The stream of life from 'neath the throne,
Nor yet that throne to see-
That I would pray, "O may my home
Be found at last in thee!"
4 No earthly eye I know hath seen
The glories that are thine;
Nor ear hath heard such strains as rise
From 'mid the host divine,
5. But O! than all thy streets can boast
My eager eyes would see
Jesus, the precious Lamb of God,
Who died to ransom me!
6 "Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
Name ever dear to me,
O may at last my name be found,"
With Christ, my Lord, in thee!
651
A prospect of heaven.
O! I behold the scat'ring shades,
The dawn of heaven appears;
The sweet immortal morning spreads,
Its blushes round the spheres.
2 I see the Lord of glory come,
And flaming guards around;
The skies divide to make him room,
The trumpet shakes the ground!
3 I hear the voice-"ye dead, arise!"
And lo! the graves obey;
And walking saints with joyful eyes,
Salute th' expected day.
PRATS
They are safe-we follow.
RAISE to the Lord, for they are past,
They are gone safe before;
They've borne the wildest tempest-blast,
And heard the last storm's roar.
2 Mourners they were-they weep not now;
Sick-now they know not pain:
And glory shines on every brow
Of that once feeble train,
3 O blest, and beautiful, and bright,
How fair their white robes gleam!
O to behold the glorious sight,
Without a vail between!
4 Yet once like us with trembling fear,
Their unknown path they viewed;
Now, God has wiped away each tear,
From all that multitude.
5 Shout! they have gained their rest at last,
The port where they would be;
Through adverse gales and tempest's blast,
Their foll'wers still are we.
694 Early will I seek thee. Psalm 63: 1.
ARLY, my God, without delay,
I haste to seek thy face;
My thirsty spirit faints away;
Without thy cheering grace.
2 So pilgrims on the scorching sand,
Beneath a burning sky,
Long for a cooling stream at hand,
And they must drink or die.
3 I've seen thy glory and thy power,
Through all thy temples shine:
My God, repeat that heavenly hour,
That vision so divine.
Thus, till my last expiring day,
I'll bless my God and King:
Thus will I lift my hands to pray,
And tune my lips to sing.

Since Jesus has lain there, I dread not its gloom;

Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode,

Again in Jesus' praise we join,
And in his sight appear.
2 What troubles have we seen!
What conflicts have we passed!
Fightings without and fears within,
Since we assembled last;
But out of all the Lord
Hath brought us by his love;
And still he doth his help afford,
And hides our life above.
3 Then let us make our boast
Of this redeeming power,
Which saves us to the uttermost,
Till we can sin no more:
Let us take up the cross,
Till we the crown obtain,
And gladly recon all things loss,
So we may Jesus gain.

Of Ages rest and pray;
Sweet is that shadow from the heat
When the sun smites by day.
3 At eve, shut to the door.
Round the home alter pray,
And finding there "the house of God,"
At "heaven's gate" close the day.

Let each in spirit say,
"I sleep, but my heart waketh, Lord,
With thee to watch and pray.

trees that rear Their state-ly forms 'mid heaven's bright dome.
2 Then he talks of the flowers, 'th unsullied stream,
That flows through the paradise of God;
And he longs to wake from life's troubled dream,
To walk those golden streets abroad.
3 He's weary and sick of this world's rude strife,
And pants for a holy, peaceful clime;
To glow with the vigor of endless life,
And be compassed no more by the bounds of time.
4 His eye is fixed on the world to come,
He walks by faith through this vale of care,
And oft inquires, as he draws near home,
With anxious heart-Are we almost there?
5 They bid him look at the charms of earth,
At the boasted trophies man doth rear;
To enter the giddy halls of mirth;
But, ah! how vain do they all appear!
6. For he's had an earnest of those joys
Which the righteous alone can ever share;
He turns with contempt from these earthly toys,
And fervently asks-Are we almost there?
7 He is waiting to hear the trumpet sound,
And to meet his Savior in the air!
The day-star dawns-soon, with joyous bound,
He can say indeed-We are almost there!

THOU Sovereign, let my evening song
WILAT, if our bark, o'er life's rough Like holy incense rise;
By adverse winds be driven, [wave,
And howling tempests round us rave?-
There are no tears in heaven.
2 What, though affliction be our lot,
Our hearts with anguish riven!
Still, let it never be forgot-
There are no tears in heaven.
3 Our sweetest joys here vanish all,
And fade like hues at even;
Our brightest hopes like meteors fall-
There are no tears in heaven.
4 The mourner sad, who, drowned in grief,
Hath long in sorrow striven,
Shall find, at last, a sweet relief-
Tears wiped away in heaven.
Assist the offerings of my tongue
To reach the lofty skies.
2 Through all the dangers of the day,
Thy hand was still my guard,
And still to drive my wants away,
Thy mercy stood prepared.
3 Perpetual blessings from above,
Encompass me around;
But, O, how few returns of love
Hath my Creator found!
4 Sprinkled afresh with pardoning blood,
I lay me down to rest,
As in th' embraces of my God,
Or on my Savior's breast.

And sun and moon refuse to shine,
All nature sink and cease to be-
This heavenly mansion stands for me.

SALVATION. C. M.
1 0, what a lonely path were
No home of rest be-yond it
ours, Could we, 0
all, No guide or
Father, see
help in thee!
2 But thou art near, and with us
still, To keep us
on the
way
That leads a long
this vale of tears, To
the bright world of day.
3 There shall thy glory, O our God!
Break fully on our view;
And we, thy saints, rejoice to find
That all thy word was true.
4 There Jesus on his heavenly throne,
Our wondering eyes shall see;
While we the blest associates there,
Of all his joy shall be.
5 Sweet hope! we leave without a sigh
A blighted world like this;
To bear the cross, despise the shame,
For all that weight of bliss.
667 The tabernacle of God.
Rev. 21: 3.
O! what a glorious sight appears
To our believing eyes!
Lo
The earth and seas are passed away,
And the old rolling skies,
2 From the third heaven where God resides,
That holy, happy place,
The new Jerusalem comes down,
Adorned with shining grace.
3 Attending angels shout for joy,
And the bright armies sing-
"Mortals, behold the sacred seat
Of your descending King.
4 "The God of glory down to men
Removes his blest abode !
Men, the dear objects of his grace,
And he the loving God.

5 "His own kind hand shall wipe the tears 3 O what a glorious sight appears
From every weeping eye;
And pains and groans, and griefs and fears,
And death itself shall die."
6 How long, dear Savior, O how long
Shall this bright hour delay?
Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time,
And bring the welcome day.
668 A prospect of heaven, etc. Deut. 34: 5.
HERE is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
2 There everlasting spring abides,
And never-with'ring flowers;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
That heavenly land from ours.
3 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood,
Stand dressed in living green;
So to the Jews old Canaan stood,
While Jordan rolled between.
4 But tim'rous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea;
And linger shiv'ring on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
5 0, could we make our doubts remove-
These gloomy doubts that rise-
And see the Canaan that we love,
With unbeclouded eyes;
To my believing eyes;
Methinks I see Jerusalem,
A city in the skies:
Bright angels whispering me away-
"O come, my brother, come!"
And I am willing to be gone
To my eternal home.
724
HAPE
The happy home.
APPY the home, when God is there,
And love fills every breast:
Where one their wish, and one their prayer,
And one their heavenly rest.
2 Happy the home where Jesus' name
Is sweet to every ear;
Where children early lisp his fame
And parents hold him dear.
3 Happy the home where prayer is heard,
And praise is want to rise;
Where parents love the sacred word,
And live but for the skies.
4 Lord! let us in our homes agree,
This blessed peace to gain;
Unite our hearts in love to thee,
And love to all will reign.
725 A prayer for the aged. Psalm 71: 9.
OD of my childhood, and my youth,
The guide of all my days,
6 Could we but clime where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o'er- [flood, 2
Not Jordan's streams, nor death's cold
Could fright us from the shore.
669 Your redemption draweth nigh.
I
have declared thy heavenly truth,
And told thy wondrous ways.
Wilt thou forsake my hoary hairs,
And leave my fainting heart?
Who shall sustain my sinking years,
If God, my Strength, depart?
Luke 21: 28. 3 Let me thy power and truth proclaim
Before the rising age.
Who are oppressed sore,
weary, heavy-laden souls,
Ye trav'lers through the wilderness,
To Canaan's peaceful shore;
Through chilling winds, and beating rain,
And waters deep and cold,
And enemies surrounding you,
Take courage and be bold!
2 For Canaan's land is just before,
Sweet spring is coming on;
A few more beating winds and rains,
And winter will be gone.
Methinks I now begin to see
The borders of that land;
The trees of life, with heavenly fruit,
In beauteous order stand.
And leave a savor of thy name,
When I shall quit the stage.
4 The land of silence and of death
Attend my next remove;
O may these poor remains of breath
Teach the wild world thy love!
5 By long experience have I known
Thy sovereign power to save;
At thy command I venture down
Securely to the grave.
6 When I lie buried deep in dust,
My flesh shall be thy care;
These withered limbs with thee I trust,
To raise them strong and fair.

LEST be the dear uniting love,
That will not let us part:
Our bodies may far off remove,
We still are one in heart.
2 Joined in one spirit to our Head,
Where he appoints we go,
And still in Jesus' footsteps tread,
And show his praise below.
30 may we ever walk in him,
And nothing know beside,
Nothing desire, nothing esteem,
But Jesus crucified.
4 Closer and closer let us cleave
To his beloved embrace,
Expect his fulness to receive,
And grace to answer grace.
5 Partakers of the Savior's grace,
The same in mind and heart;
Nor joy nor grief, nor time nor place,
Nor life nor death can part.
6 But let us hasten to the day.
Which shall our flesh restore;
When death shall all be done away,
And bodies part no more.
700 Morning hymn.
NCE more, my soul, the rising day
Salutes my waking eyes;
Once more my voice, thy tribute pay,
To him who rules the skies.
2 Night unto night his name repeats,
The day renews the sound,
Wide as the heaven, on whichhe sits,
To turn the seasons round.
3 'T is he supports my mortal frame,
My tongue shall speak his praise :
My sins would rouse his wrath to flame,
And yet his wrath delays.
4 On a poor worm thy power might tread,
And I could ne'er withstand;
Thy justice might have crushed me dead
But mercy held thy hand.
5 A thousand wretched souls are fled,
Since the last setting sun,
And yet thou length'nest out my thread,
And yet my moments run.
6 Dear God, let all my hours be thine,
Whilst I enjoy the light;
Then shall my sun in smiles decline,
And bring a pleasant night.
721 Parents' concern for their children.
TH
HOU, who a tender parent art,
Regard a parent's plea;
My offspring, with an anxious heart,
I now commend to thee.
2 My children are my greatest care-
A charge which thou hast given,
In all thy graces let them share,
And all the joys of heaven.
3 On me thou hast bestowed thy grace,
Be to my children kind;
Among thy saints give them a place,
And leave not one behind.
4 Happy we then shall live below,
The remnant of our days;
And when to brighter worlds we go,
Shall all resound thy praise.
7730 Early instructions.
H
OW happy are the young who hear
Instruction's warning voice:
And who celestial wisdom make
Their early, only choice.
2 For she has treasures greater far
Than east or west unfold;
And her rewards more precious are
Than all their stores of gold.
3 She guides the young with innocence
In pleasure's path to tread;
A crown of glory she bestows
Upon the aged head.
4 According as her labors rise,
So her rewards increase;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace.
72 Where the Dove is to be found.
0
TELL me where the dove is flown
To build her downy nest,
And I will search the world around,
To win her to my breast.
2 I sought her in the rosy bower
Where pleasure holds her reign;
Where fancy flies from flower to flower,
But there I sought in vain.
3 I sought her in the bower of love,
I knew her tender heart;
But she had flown-that peaceful dove
Had felt the traitor's dart.
4 Upon ambition's craggy hill
I thought this bird might stray,
And there I sought, but vainly still;
She never flew that way.
5 Faith smiled and shed the tender tear,
To see me search around,
And whispered, "I can tell thee where
The dove may yet be found.
6 In meek religion's humble cot,
She built her downy nest:
Go, seek that sweet secluded spot,
And win her to thy breast."

Allure and guide us home.
3 Pure are the joys above the sky,
And all the region peace;
No wanton lips, nor envious eye
Can see or taste the bliss.
4 Those holy gates forever bar

And let me cease from sin.

To me the rest of faith impart-
The sabbath of thy love.

And have thee all my own;

YOME, let us strike our harps afresh
To great Jehovah's name;
Sweet be the accents of our tongues
When we his love proclaim.

In pain a while to part;
'Tis by his care we meet again,
And gladness fills our heart.

Our feet from every snare,
And bless the goodness of the Lord,
Which to this hour we share.

And warm our zeal in works of love,

Fast, fast our minutes fly away;
Soon shall our wand'rings cease;
Then with our Father we shall dwell
A family of peace.
684 Upon the closing of a series of services.
TOW, brethren, to your homes repair;
And as you pass along,
Employ your hearts in humble prayer,
And raise the cheerful song.
2 Praise God for what your ears have heard,
For what your eyes have seen;
Praise him for what has here occured-
For all you feel within
4 Let not the world have cause to say
You've served your God for nought;
But grow in grace, from day to day,
As you have here been taught.
5 Farewell-and to your homes repair;
And as you pass along,
Employ your hearts in humble prayer,
And raise to God a song.
697 A morning prayer. Psalm 5: 3.
ORD, in the morning thou shalt hear
My voice ascending high;
To thee will I direct my prayer,
To thee lift up mine eye.
2 Up to the hills where Christ is gone
To plead for all his saints,
Presenting at his Father's throne
Our songs and our complaints.
8 Thou art a God before whose sight
The wicked shall not stand;
Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight,
Nor dwell at thy right hand.
4 But to thy house will I resort,
To taste thy mercies there,
I will frequent thine holy court,
And worship in thy fear.
5 O may thy Spirit guide my feet
In ways of righteousness;
Make every path of duty straight,
And plain before my face.
7705 The evening sacrifice.
TOW from the alter of my heart,
N Let incense flames arise;
Assist me, Lord, to offer up,
My evening sacrifice.
2 This day was God my sun and shield,
My keeper and my guide.
3
His tender care o'er me was shown,
His mercies multiplied.
Minutes and mercies multiplied,
Have made up all this day;
Minutes came quick, but mercies were
More fleet and free than they.
4 New time, new favor, and new joys,
New songs of praise require;
Till I shall praise thee as I would,
Accept my heart's desire,
3 Improve the strength you here have gain'd, 5 Lord of my time, whose hand hath set
A To do God's holy will;
Improve the knowledge here attained,
To love and serve him still.
New time upon my score,
Thee shall I praise for all my time,
When time shall be no more.

Evening hymn.
THUS far the Lord hath led me on,
Thus far his power prolongs my days,
And every evening shall make known,
Some fresh memorial of his grace.
Much of my time has run to waste,
And I, perhaps, am near my home!
But he forgives my follies past,
He gives me strength for days to come.
3 I lay my body down to sleep;
Peace is the pillow for my head;
While well appointed angels keep
Their watchful stations round my bed.
In vain the sons of earth or hell
Tell me a thousand frightful things-
My God in safety makes me dwell,
Beneath the shadow of his wings.
5 Faith in his name forbids my fear:
O may thy presence ne'er depart;
And in the morning make me hear
The love and kindness of thy heart.
6 Thus when the night of death shall come,
My flesh shall rest beneath the ground,
And wait thy voice to rouse my tomb,
With sweet salvation in the sound.

1 My dearest friends, in bonds of love, Our hearts in sweetest union prove,

D. C.
Your pres-ence sweet, your union dear, Your words delightful to my ear;
2 How sweet the hours have passed away,
When we have met to sing and pray,
How loath I've been to leave the place
Where Jesus shows his smiling face.
O could I stay with friends so kind,
How would it cheer my struggling mind!
But duty makes me understand,
That we must take the parting hand.
3 And since it is God's holy will,
We must be parted for a while,
In sweet submission all in one,
We'll say our Father's will be done.
Dear fellow-youth in Christian ties,
Who seek for mansions in the skies:
Fight on, you'll win the happy shore,
Where parting hands are known no more.
4 How oft I've seen the flowing tears,
O taste his grace, in all that land
We'll no more take the parting hand.

Think how th' all-seeing God thy ways
And every secret thought surveys.
Glory to God, who safe hath kept,
And hath refreshed me while I slept,
Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake,
I may of endless life partake.

Which waits us in the skies.
4 0 let our heart and mind
With every day ascend,
That haven of repose to find,
Where all our labors end.
5 When all our toils are o'er,
Our suffering and our pain:
We'll meet on that celestial shore,
And never part again.
693 Begin with God. Matt. 6: 33.
EGIN the day with God!
He is thy son and day;
BR
His is the radiance of thy dawn,
To him address thy lay.
2 Look up, beyond these clouds!
Thither thy pathway lies;
Mount up, away, and linger not,
Thy goal is yonder skies.
3 Cast every weight aside!
Do battle with each sin;
Fight with the faithless world without,
The faithless heart within.
4 Take thy first meal with God!
He is thy heavenly food;
Feed with and on him; he with thee
Will feast in brotherhood.
5 Take thy first walk with God!
Let him go forth with thee;
By stream or sea or mountain-path,
Seek still his company.
6 Thy first transaction be
With God himself above;
So shall thy business prosper well,
And all the day be love.

Though the arrows past us fly,
Angel guards from thee surround us;
We are safe, if thou art nigh.

Darkness can not hide from thee;
Thou art he who, never weary,

Eccl. 11: 9.
EE the leaves around us falling
Dry and withered to the ground,
Thus to thoughtless mortals calling,
In a sad and solemn sound-

Who the paths of pleasure tread,
View us, late in beauty blooming,
Numbered now among the dead.
3 "What though yet no losses grieve you-
Gay with health and many a grace;
Let not cloudless skies deceive you;
Summer gives the autumn place."

Let our highest hopes be stayed:
This alone for ever vernal,
Bears a leaf that shall not fade.

HE day is past and gone,
The evening shades appear,
O may we all remember well,
The night of death draws near.
2 We lay our garments by,
Upon our beds to rest.
So death will soon disrobe us all
Of what we here possess.
3 Lord, keep us safe this night,
Secure from all our fears;
May angels guard us while we sleep,
Till morning light appears.
4 And if we early rise,
And view th' unwearied sun;
May we set out to win the prize,
And after glory run!
5 And when our days are past,
And we from time remove,
O may we in thy bosom rest-
The bosom of thy love!

AM, saith Christ, the way;
Now if we credit him,
All other paths must lead astray,
How fair soe'er they seem.
2 I am, saith Christ, the truth;
Then all that lacks this test,
Proceed it from an angel's mouth,
Is but a lie at best.
3 I am, saith Christ, the life;
Let this be seen by faith,
It follows without further strife,
That all besides is death.

Nor be deceived, nor die.

4 Clouds and thick darkness are thy throne,
Thy wonderful pavilion;
O! dart from thence a shining ray,

Like incense at morning sacrifice!

2 Thus, one day more of life is gone,
A doubtful few remain:
Come then, review what thou hast done
Eternal life to gain.
3 Dost thou get forward in thy race,
As time still posts away?
And die to sin, and grow in grace,
With every passing day?
4 This day, what conquest hast thou gained?
What sin is overcome?
What fresh degree of grace obtained,
To bring thee nearer home?
5 Thus let us still our course review,
Our real state to learn;
And with redoubled zeal, pursue
Our great and chief concern.

Each seed that thou hast sown,

Or o'er thy wild neglected soil,
Go forth in shame to weep.

TOW shall the young secure their hearts,
H And guard their lives from sin?
Thy word the choicest rules imparts,
To keep the conscience clean.
2 When once it enters to the mind,
It spreads such light abroad,
The meanest souls instruction find,
And raise their thoughts to God.
3 'Tis like the sun a heavenly light,
That guides us all the day;
And through the dangers of the night,
A lamp to lead our way.
4 Thy precepts make me truly wise;
I hate the sinner's road-
I hate my own vain thoughts that rise,
But love thy law, my God.
5 Thy word is everlasting truth;
How pure is every page!
That holy book shall guide our youth,
And well support our age.
737 Youth invited to Christ.
YE hearts, with youthful vigor warm,
In smiling crowds draw near;
And turn from every mortal charm,
A Savior's voice to hear.
2 He, Lord of all the worlds on high,
Stoops to converse with you;
And lays his radiant glories by,
Your friendship to pursue.
3 "The soul that longs to see my face,
Is sure my love to gain :
And those that early seek my grace
Shall never seek in vain."
4 What object, Lord, my soul should move,
If once compared with thee?
What beauty should command my love,
Like what in Christ I see?
5 Away, ye false delusive toys,
Vain tempters of the mind!
'Tis here I fix my lasting choice,
And here true bliss I find.

ORD of my life, whose word of power
Did first inspire my breath,
Thy hand has kept me to this hour,
From danger and from death.
2 Spared to commence another year,
The past I now review:
How numerous do my sins appear,
How great thy mercies, too!
3 I thank thee for thy tender care
Through all my earlier days,
And for each privilege I share,
That still thy love displays.
4 For Jesus' sake, my sins forgive,
And strengthen me in grace;
That to thy glory I may live,
And run the Christian race.

'Tis not for me to know;
But may I yield my heart to thee,
And in thy favor grow.

Been bathed in human blood!
What cities, fields and seas, have been

2 All-gracious God! permit our souls,
Impressed with human woe,
With thee to plead, how long, how long
Shall this mad deluge flow?
3 How long shall brethren's hands, imbrued
With blood, each other slay?
The field with ghastly scenes be strewed,
Of man to man a prey?
4 To punish crime, though justly due,
Shall vengeance ever burn?
WHERE shall the child of sorrow find Back to the scabbard, whence it flew,
A place for calm repose?
Thou Father of the fatherless,
Pity the orphan's woes.
2 What friend have I in heaven or earth,
What friend to trust, but thee?
My father's dead; my mother's dead;
My God, remember me.
3 Thy gracious promise now fulfill,
And bid my trouble cease;
Sword of the world, return.
5 Thou God of hosts! whose sovereign will
Controls the swelling flood,
The madness of thy people still,
And bring from evil good.
6 O, may thy Spirit's mighty sword
Our lusts subdue and slay;
Then force and war shall yield to love,
And all from love obey.

And bind it on thy heart;
And let no earthly pleasure
E'er cause it to depart.
It to depart.
3 Go, while the day-star shineth,
Go, while thy heart is light,
Go, e'er thy strength declineth,
While every sense is bright:
While sense is bright.
Sell all thou hast and buy it;
'T is worth all earthly things--
Rubies, and gold, and diamonds,
Scepters and crowns of kings!
And crowns of kings.
5 Go, e'er the cloud of sorrow
Steals o'er thy bloom of youth;
Defer not till to-morrow;
Go now, and buy the truth.
And buy the truth.
6 Go, seek thy great Creator;
Learn early to be wise;
Go place upon the altar
A morning sacrifice.

Marriage.
HEN on her Maker's bosom
The new-born earth was laid,
And nature's opening blossom
Its fairest bloom displayed;
When all with fruit and flowers
The laughing soil was drest,
And Eden's fragrant bowers
Received their human guest:
2 No sin his face defiling,
The heir of nature stood,
And God benignly smiling,
Beheld that all was good!
Yet in that hour of blessing,
A single want was known:
A want the heart distressing-
For Adam was alone!
30 God of pure affection!
314
By men and saints adored,
Who gavest thy protection
To Cana's nuptial board-
May such thy bounties ever
To wedded love be shown,
And no rude hand dissever
Whom thou hast linked in one.

The weary are at rest.

SOLITUDE-Continued.
755 Summer; a harvest hymn. Isa. 9: 3. 3 Almighty God, no hand but thine
praise the ever-bounteous Lord,
My soul, wake all thy powers:
He calls-and at his voice come forth
The smiling harvest hours.
2 His covenant with earth he keeps;
My tongue, his goodness sing;
Summer and winter know their time;
His harvest crowns the spring.
3 Well pleased, the toiling swains behold
The waving yellow crop;
With joy they bear the sheaves away
And sow again in hope.
4 Thus teach me, gracious God, to sow
The seeds of righteousness;
Smile on my soul, and with thy beams
The ripening harvest bless.
5 Then, in the last great harvest, I
Shall reap a glorious crop;
The harvest shall by far exceed
What I have sown in hope.
757 Winter.
STER
TERN winter throws his icy chains,
Encircling nature round;
How black, how comfortless the plains,
Late with gay verdure crowned!.
2 The sun withholds his vital beams,
And light and warmth depart;
And drooping, lifeless nature seems
An emblem of my heart.
3 Return, O blissful sun, and bring
Thy soul-reviving ray:
This mental winter shall be spring,
This darkness cheerful day.
4 0 happy state! divine abode,
Where spring eternal reigns,
And perfect day, the smile of God,
Fills all the heavenly plains.
5 Great Source of light, thy beams display,
My drooping joys restore,
And guide me to the seat of day,
Where winter frowns no more.
764 The prevalence of intemperance.
NTEMP'RANCE, like a raging flood,
Is sweeping o'er the land;
I
Its dire effects, in tears and blood,
Are traced on every hand.
2 It still flows on, and bears away
Ten thousands to their doom;
Who shall the mighty torrent stay,
And disappoint the tomb?
Can check this flowing tide;
Stretch out thine arm of power divine,
And bid the flood subside.
4 Dry up the source from whence it flows;
Destroy its fountain head;
That dire intemperance and its woes
No more the earth o'erspread.
770 Weep for the lost. Luke 19. 41.
WO'er Salem's hapless doom;
EEP for the lost! Thy Savior wept
He wept, to think their day was past,
And come their night of gloom.
2 Weep for the lost! The prophets wept
O'er Israel's gloomy fate,
When vengeance had unsheathed her sword
Repentance came too late.
3 Weep for the lost! Apostles wept,
That men should error choose;
That dying men should Christ reject,
And endless life refuse.
4 Weep for the lost! The lost will weep,
In that long night of woe,
On which no star of hope will rise,
And tears in vain will flow.
5 Weep for the lost! Lord, make us weep,
And toil with ceaseless care,
To save our friends, ere yet they pass
That point of deep despair.
775 The equality of men.
Acts 17: 26.
LL men are equal in their birth,
A Heirs of the earth and skies;
All men are equal when that earth
Fades from their dying eyes.
2 God meets the throngs who pay their vows
In courts that hands have made,
And hears the worshiper who bows
Beneath the plantain shade.
3 'T is man alone who difference sees,
And speaks of high and low,
And worships those, and tramples these,
While the same path they go.
4 0, let man hasten to restore
To all their rights of love;
In power and wealth exult no more,
In wisdom lowly move.
5 Ye great, renounce your earth-born pride,
Ye low, your shame and fear;
Live, as ye worship, side by side;
Your brotherhood revere.

5 A noble band, the chosen few,

Twelve valiant souls, their hope they knew,
And mocked the torch of flame;

The lion's gory mane,
They bowed their necks the stroke to feel,
Who follows in their train?
7 A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the throne of God rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.

Through peril, toil, and pain;

LMIGHTY Sovereign of the skies,
To thee let songs of gladness rise,
Each greatful heart.its tribute bring,
And every voice thy goodness sing.
3 The rich profusion nature yields,
The harvest waving o'er the fields,
The cheering light, refreshing shower,
Are gifts from thy exhaustless store.
4 At thy command the vernal bloom
Revives the world from winter's gloom;
The summer's heat the fruit matures,
And autumn all her treasures pours.
2 From thee our choicest blessings flow,
Life, health and strength thy hands bestow;
The daily good thy creatures share,
Springs from thy providential care.

And praise the Majesty divine.

766 Prayer for general peace.
HY footsteps, Lord, with joy we trace,
And mark the conquests of thy grace;
Complete the work thou hast begun,
And let thy will on earth be done.
2 O, show thyself the Prince of Peace,
Command the din of war to cease;
O, bid contending nations rest,
And love pervade each human breast.
3 Then peace shall lift her balmy wing,
Glad plenty laugh, the valleys sing;
Reviving commerce lift her head,
And want, and woe, and hate be fled.
4 Thou good, and wise, and righteous Lord,
All move subservient to thy word;
O, soon let every nation prove
The perfect joy of Christian love.
771 Against persecution and intolerance.
Rom. 12: 19.
ABSURD and vain attempt to him
With iron chains the free-born mind;
To force conviction, and reclaim
The wandering, by destructive flame.
2 Bold arrogance! to snatch from heaven
-Dominion not to mortals given:
O'er conscience to usurp the throne
Accountable to God alone.
3 Jesus, thy gentle law of love
Doth no such cruelties approve;
Mild as thyself, thy doctrine wields
No arms but what persuasion yields.
4 By proofs divine, and reason strong,
It leads the willing mind along;
And conquests to thy church acquires
By eloquence which heaven inspires.
7778 The anchor within the vail. Heb. 6:19.
Ibark is on a troubled sea;
M The winds and waves may adverse be;
But hope, my anchor's firmly cast
Within the vail forever fast.
2 How oft, when tempest-tossed at night,
I watch in vain for dawning light,
Yet think, when terrors would prevail,
My anchor is within the vail.
3 Within the vail-where Jesus stands,
And shows to God his blood-stained hands;
Within the vail-he went to bear
My name upon the breast-plate there.
My hope must have his righteousness,
For it can rest on nothing less;
Within the vail-is still my prayer,
O! may my anchor enter there.
5 Although the billows round me roll,
They never can o'erwhelm my soul;
Within the vail my anchor's cast,
Unshaken by the stormy blast.
6 Whene'er I quit this changing scene,
May I depart in hope serene;
And find, when heart and flesh shall fail,
My anchor cast within the vail.
779 The Christian crowned. Rev. 1: 6.
ONOR and happiness unite
To make the Christian's name a praise;
How fair the scene, how clear the light,
That fills the remnant of his days!
2 A kingly character he bears,
No change his priestly office knows;
Unfading is the crown he wears,
His joys can never reach a close.
3 Adorned with glory from on high,
Salvation shines upon his face;
His robe is of the ethereal dye,
His steps are dignity and grace.
Inferior honors he disdains,
4
Nor stoops to take applause from earth;
The King of kings himself maintains
Th' expenses of his heavenly birth.
5 The noblest creatures seen below,
Ordained to fill a throne above;
God gives him all he can bestow,
His kingdom of eternal love!
6 My soul is ravished at the thought,
Methinks from earth I see him rise!
Angels congratulate his lot,
And shout him welcome to the skies.
780 Love the proof of true piety.
1 John 3: 14.
TE different sects, who all declare,
or there!"
Your stronger proofs divinely give,
And show us where the Christians live!
2 Your claim, alas! ye cannot prove;
Ye want the genuine mark of love:
Thou only, Lord, thine own canst know,
For sure thou hast a church below.
3 Scattered o'er all the earth they lie,
Till thou collect them with thine eye;
Draw by the music of thy name,
And charm into a beauteous frame.
4 For this the pleading spirit groans,
And cries in all thy banished ones:
Love, greatest of thy gifts, impart,
And make us of one mind and heart.

And there was life and light.
2 Thy word, O God! is living yet,
Amid earth's restless strife
New harmony creating still,
And ever higher life.
3 And as that word moves surely on,
The light, ray after ray,
Streams further out athwart the dark,
And night grows into day.
4 0 Word that broke the stillness first,
Sound on! and never cease
Till all earth's darkness be made light,
And all her discord peace!
5 Till wail of woe, and clank of chain,
And bruit of battle stilled-
The word with thy great music's pulse,
O word of love! be thrilled.

Thy summons shall have heard,
And thy creation be complete,
O thou eternal Word!

And God himself is Light.

Sweet to look upward, to the place
Where Jesus pleads above:
3 Sweet to look back, and see my name
In life's fair book set down;
Sweet to look forward, and behold
Eternal joys my own:
4 Sweet on his faithfulness to rest,
Whose love can never end;
Sweet on the covenant of his grace
For all things to depend:
5 Sweet, in the confidence of faith,
To trust his firm decrees;
Sweet to lie passive in his hands,
And know no will but his.

Call to the strong, the free;
Rouse them to shun that dreadful fall,
And to the refuge flee.

Pray to our God above
To break the fell destroyer's sway,
And show his saving love.

2 Laid in a Christless tomb,
There, bound with felon-chain,
He waits the terrors of his doom,
The judgment and the pain.
30 Christless shroud, how cold,
How dark, O Christless tomb!
O grief that never can grow old,
O what a dreadful doom!
4 O Christless sleep, how sad!
What waking shalt thou know?
For thee no star, no dawning glad,
Only the lasting woe!
5 To rocks and hills in vain
Shall be the sinner's call;
O day of wrath, and death, and pain,
The lost soul's funeral!
60 Christless soul, awake
Ere thy last sleep begin!
O Christ, the sleeper's slumbers break,
Burst thou the bands of sin!

John 15: 4.
With oil we fill the bowl;
'Tis water makes the willow thrive,
And grace that feeds the soul.
2 The Lord's unsparing hand,
Supplies the living stream;
It is not at our own command,
But still derived from him.
3 Beware of Peter's words,
Nor confidently stay,
"I never will deny thee, Lord,"
But grant I never may.
767
Man's wisdom is to seek
His strength in God alone;
And e'en an angel would be weak,
Who trusted in his own.
5 Retreat beneath his wings,
And in his grace confide;
This more exalts the King of kings
Than all your works beside.
6 In Jesus is our store,
Grace issues from his throne;
Whoever says, "I want no more,"
Confesses he has none.
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. 12s.
1 You may sing of the beau-ty of mountain and dale, But the place most de-
Of the silver-y streamlets and flowers of the vale; /
lightful this earth can afford, is the place of de- vo-tion, the house of the Lord.
2 You may boast of the sweetness of day's early dawn,
Of the sky's softning graces when day is just gone;
But there's no other season or time can compare
With the hour of devotion, the season of prayer.
3 You may value the friendships of youth and of age,
And select for your comrades the noble and sage;
But the friends that most cheer me on life's rugged road,
Are the friends of my Master, the children of God.
4 You may talk of your prospects, of fame or of wealth,
And the hopes that oft flatter the favorites of health;
But the hope of bright glory, of heavenly bliss-
Take away every other, and give me but this.
5 Ever hail, blessed temple, abode of my Lord!
I will turn to thee often, to hear from his word;
I will walk to thine altar with those that I love,
And rejoice in the prospects revealed from above.

This world with all its pomp and show;
Its vain delights, and short-lived pleasure-
I'll gladly leave them all below.
But love and grace shall be my story,
While I in Christ such beauties see;
While endless ages are onward rolling,
This heavenly portion mine shall be.
3 This earthly house must be dissolved,
And mortal life shall soon be oer;
All earthly care, and earthly sorrow
Shall pain my eyes and heart no more;

And my glad heart shall strengthen'd be,
While endless ages are onward rolling.
This heavenly portion mine shall be.

In Christian love we'll march along;
And while strife severs the ambitious-
In Jesus Christ we'll all be one;
Religion, pure, unites together
In bonds of love, and makes us free:
While endless ages are onward rolling,
This heavenly portion mine shall be.

If Jesus would dwell with me there.

And hasten to that glorious day
When we shall meet to part no more.

AS pilgrims in this vale of tears
3 Oh, wipe the tears from sorrow's eye,
And let us all rejoice in thee;
Give joy for every rising sigh,
4
We sigh to reach our heavenly home,
That we, released from all our fears,
May tune our harps and cease to roam.
2 O God, protect us by thy power,
And keep us safe within thy fold;
That we in each unguarded hour,
May never lose on thee our hold.
Make us from every fetter free.
Help us to view our dying Lord,
And gaze upon his bleeding side;
That we may faithful to his word,
Eternally in him abide.
5 Then when we quit this mortal frame,
Oh, may we soar away to thee;
Raise hallelujah's to thy name,
And our divine Redeemer see.

O may we then no longer stray,
But come to Christ, the good old way.

We therefore will without dismay,
Thus walk in Christ, the good old way.
3 With faith and love and holy care,
In this dear way I'll persevere:
And when I die, triumphant say,
This is the right, the good old way.

I fear to call thee mine;
The springs of comfort seem to fail,
And all my hopes decline.
4 Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee?
Thou art my only trust;
And still my soul would cleave to thee,
Though prostrate in the dust.
5 Hast thou not bid me seek thy face?
And shall I seek in vain?
And can the ear of sovereign grace
Be deaf when I complain?

Attends the mourner's prayer;
O may I ever find access,
To breathe my sorrows there.

Acts 7: 56.
S when the weary traveler gains
The hight of some o'erlooking hill,
His heart revives, if 'cross the plains
He eyes his home, though distant still.
2 While he surveys the much-loved spot,
He slights the space that lies between;
His past fatigues are now forgot,
Because his journey's end is seen.
3 Thus, when the Christian pilgrim views
By faith his mansion in the skies,
The sight his fainting strength renews,
And wings his speed to reach the prize.
4 The thought of home his spirit cheers;
No more he grieves for troubles past,
Nor any future trial fears
So he may safe arrive at last.
5 'T is there, he says, I am to dwell
With Jesus in the realms of day;
Then shall I bid my cares farewell,
And he shall wipe my tears away.
6 Jesus, on thee our hope depends,
To lead us on to thine abode:
Assured our home will make amends
For all our toil while on the road.

CHORUS.

Fear not.
Gen. 15: 1.
THOUGH thy days are dark with trouble,
And thy heart is filled with fear,
There is one that sees thee ever,
And will hold thee near and dear.
Cheerful hearts and smiling faces,
Often make thee happy here,
Yet no one was e'er so happy,
But sometimes the clouds appear.
2 All thy prospects will seem brighter
When the shadow leaves the heart,
And the steps of time beat lighter,
When the gloomy clouds depart.
Many days have dawned serenely.
While the birds sang with delight,
But the skies were dark and gloomy,
Ere the sun had reached its hight..
3 Soon will dawn a brighter morning
On a blessed tranquil shore;
Sighs will then give place to singing,
Tears to bliss forevermore.
Thou shalt see a world of glory,
And eternal joy and bliss;"
Let not then thy soul be mourning
O'er the woes and cares of this.
817 C. P.M. For music see page 144.
H
AD I ten thousand gifts beside,
I'd cleave to Jesus crucified,
And build on him alone;
For no foundation is there given
On which to place my hopes of heaven,
But Christ the Corner-stone.
2 Possessing Christ I all posses,
Wisdom, and strength and righteousness,
And holiness complete;
Bold in his name, I dare draw nigh
Before the ruler of the sky,
And all his justice meet,
3 There is no path to heavenly bliss,
To solid joy or lasting peace,
But Christ th' appointed road;
O may we tread the sacred way,
By faith rejoice, and praise and pray,
Till we sit down with God!
4 The types and shadows of the word
Unite in Christ, the Man, the Lord,
The Savior kind and true;
may we still his word believe,
And all his promises receive,
And all his precepts do.

3 Watchman! see the light is beaming,
Brighter still upon the way;
Signs through all the earth are gleaming,
Omens of the coming day.
4 When the Jubal trumpet sounding
Shall awake from earth and sea,
And the saints of God now sleeping,
Clad in immortality.
5 Watchman! hail, the light ascending
Of the grand Sabbatic year;
All with voices loud proclaiming
That the Kingdom's very near.
6 Pilgrim! yes, I see just yonder,
Canaan's glorious heights arise;
Salem, too, appears in grandeur,
Towering neath its sunlit skies.
7 Watchman! in the Golden City,
Seated on his Jasper throne,
Zion's King enthroned in beauty,
Reigns in peace from zone to zone.
8 There on sunlit hills and mountains,
Golden beams serenely glow;
Purling streams and crystal fountains,
On whose banks sweet flow'rets blow.

From doubts and fears it frees us;
With pitying love he sees us,
And toiling here below:
Through tribulation driven,
We'll force our way to heaven;
Through consolation given,
Rejoicing on we'll go.
2 Companions now distressed,
By Satan sore oppressed,
Cheer up, you'll be relieved,
Your Captain's gone before:
In every trying hour,
He'll save you by his power,
And bring vou safe to heaven,
On that eternal shore.
30 yonder is the glory,
It lies but just before you,
And there we'll tell the story
Of all redeeming love:
And there we shall forever
Drink of that flowing river,
And ever, ever, ever,
Surround the throne of love.
4 There in the blooming garden
Of Eden, gained by pardon,
Upon the banks of Jordan,
We'll worship the Lamb:
We'll sing the song of Moses,
While Jesus sweet composes
A song that never closes,
Of praises to his name.
