Know that the Lord is God alone;
'Tts life, and health, and peace.
He can create, and He destroy.
4 He speaks, and, listening to His voice,
2 His sovereign power, without our aid,
New life the dead receive,
Made us of clay, and formed us men:
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
And when like wandering sheep we strayed,
The humble poor believe.
He brought us to His fold again.
5 He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
3 We'll crowd Thy gates With thankful songs;
He sets the prisoner free;
High as the heavens our voices raise;
His blood can make the foulest clean,
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
His blood availed for me.
Shall fill Thy courts with soundIng praise.
6 See all your sins on Jesus laid:
4 Wide as the world is Thy command;
The Lamb of God was slain,
Vast as eternity Thy love;
His soul was once an offering made
Firm as a rock Thy truth shall stand,
For every soul of man.
When rolling years shall cease to m o v e .
Amen.

1 ETERNAL Power whose high abode
H4 Becomes the grandeur of a God:
Infinite lengths beyond the bounds
1 FROM all that dwell below the skies Where stars evolve their little rounds.
Let the Creator's praise arise:
Hallelujah ! 2 Thee while the first archangel sings,
Let the Redeemer's name be sung. He hides his face beneath his wings,
Through every land, by every tongue: And throngs of shining thrones around
Hallelujah! Fall worshipping, and spread the ground.

2 Eternal are Thy mercies. Lord; 3 Lord, what shall earth and ashes do?
Eternal truth attends Thy word: We would adore our Maker too;
Hallelujah! From sin and dust to Thee we cry,
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore, The Great, the Holy, and the High!
Till suns shall rise and set no more:
Hallelujah! 4 Earth from afar has heard Thy fame,
And babes have learnt to lisp Thy name;
But O the glories of Thy mind
H5 Leave all our soaring thoughts, behind!

1 LET all the world in every corner sing: 5 God is in heaven, and men below;
My God and King! Be short our tunes, our words be few;
The heavens are not too high, A sacred reverence checks our songs,
His praise may thither fly; And praise sits silent on our tongues.
The earth is not too low,
His praises there may grow.
Let all the world in every corner sing: H7
My God and King!
1 O HEAVENLY King look down from above;
2 Let the entire world in every corner sing: Assist us to sing Thy mercy and love :
My God and King! So sweetly o'erflowing, so plenteous the store.
The Church with psalms must shout, Thou still art bestowing, and giving us more.
No door can keep them out :
But, above all, the heart 2 O God of our life, we hallow Thy name;
Must bear the longest part. Our business and strife Is Thee to proclaim.
Let all the world in every corner sing: A c c e p t o u r t h a n k s g i v i n g f o r creating grace;
My God and king! The living, the living shall show forth Thy praise.

3 Our Father and Lord, almighty art Thou;

Preserved by Thy word, we worship Thee now;
The bountiful donor of all we enjoy,
Our tongues, to Thine honour, and lives we employ.

4 But O above all Thy kindness we praise,

From sin and from thrall which saves the lost race;
Thy Son Thou hast given the world to redeem,
A n d b r i n g u s t o h e a v e n w h o s e trust is in Him.

5 Wherefore of Thy love we sing and rejoice,

With angels above we lift up our voice:
Thy love each believer shall gladly adore,
For ever and ever, when time is no m o r e .
Amen.

Whose robe is the light, 3 Fear not to enter His courts in the slenderness
Whose canopy space; Of the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as thine :
His chariots of wrath Truth in its beauty and love in its tenderness :
The deep thunder-clouds form, These are the offerings to lay on His shrine.
And dark is His path
On the wings of the storm. 4 These, though we bring them in trembling and
fearfulness,
3 The earth with its store He will accept for the name that Is dear;
Of wonders untold, Mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
Almighty! Thy power T rus t for ou r tremb ling , and hope for our fear.
Hath founded of old,
Hath stablished it fast 5 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!
By a changeless decree, Bow down before Him, His glory proclaim;
And round it hath cast. W i t h g o l d o f o b e d i e n c e a n d i n cense of lowliness,
Like a mantle, the sea. Kneel and adore Him, the Lord Is H i s n a m e . A m e n .

What tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, 1 NOW thank we all our God ,
It shines in the light, With hearts, and hands, and voices;
It streams from the hills, Who wondrous things bath done,
It descends to the plain, In whom His world rejoices;
And sweetly distils Who, from our mothers' arms,
In the dew and the rain. Hath blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
5 Frail children of dust. And still is ours to-day.
And feeble as frail,
In Thee do we trust, 2 O may this bounteous God
Nor find Thee to fail: Through all our life be near us,
Thy mercies how tender, With ever-joyful hearts
How firm to the end, And blessed peace to cheer us,
Our Maker, Defender, And keep us in His grace,
Redeemer, and Friend! And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills
6 O measureless Might! In this world and the next
Ineffable Love!
While angels delight 3 All praise and thanks to God
To hymn Thee above, The Father now be given.
The humbler creation, The Son, and Him who reigns
Though feeble their lays, With Them in highest heaven :
With true adoration The one, eternal God,
Shall lisp to Thy praise. Whom earth and heaven adore;
Amen. For thus It was, is now,
And shall be evermore.
Amen.

He, speaketh still. 4 And earth's fields, with herbs and flowers.
Established is His law, Shall put on their choice array,
And changeless it shall stand, And in all their leafy bowers

On sea, on land. When the Judge, to earth descending
Righteous judgment shall ordain,

For of gods He is the God: Hither bring, in one consent.
Heart and voice and instrument:

Filled the new-made World with light: That both either voice or sound.

His full hand supplies their need: In still music praises give.

wilderness: In this chorus take your place;
8 Let us then with gladsome mind Praise the Lord. And amid the mortal throng
for He is kind: Be ye masters of the song.
Let, in praise of God, the sound
Run a never-ending round,

That our song of praise may be

Everlasting, as is He.
3 So, from heaven, on earth He shall
Let His gracious blessings fall; 5 Though nature's strength decay,
And this huge wide orb we see And earth and hell withstand,
Shall one choir, one temple be; To Canaan's bounds I urge my way
That our song may over-climb At His command.
All the bounds of place and time, The watery deep I Pass,
An d a s c e n d f r o m s p h e r e t o sphere With Jesus in my view;
To the great Almighty's ear. And through the howling wilderness
My way pursue.

Who reigns enthroned above, And endless rest:
Ancient of everlasting days, There milk and honey flow.
And God of love. And oil and wine abound.
Jehovah! Great I AM! And trees of life for ever grow.
B y e a r t h a n d h e a v e n c o n fessed: With mercy crowned.
I bow and bless the sacred name
For ever blessed. 7 T h e r e d w e l l s t h e L o r d o u r Ring,
The Lord our Righteousness,
2 The God of Abraham praise, Triumphant o'er the world and sin,
At whose supreme command The Prince of Peace;
From earth I rise, and seek the joys On Zion's sacred height
At His right hand. His kingdom still maintains,
I all on earth forsake -- And glorious with His saints in light
Its wisdom: fame, and power— For ever reigns.
And Him my only portion make,
My shield and tower. 8 He keeps His own secure,
He guards them by His side,
3 The God of Abraham praise, Arrays in garments white and pure
Whose all-sufficient grace His spotless bride:
Shall guide me all my happy days With streams of sacred bliss,
In all my ways. With groves of living joys,
He calls aworm. His friend, With all the fruits of paradise,
He calls Himself my God; He still supplies.
And He shall save me to the end
Through Jesu's blood. 9 Before the great Three-One
They all exulting stand,
4 He by Himself hath sworn, And tell the wonders He bath done,
I on His oath depend: Through all their land:
I shall, on eagles' wings upborne, The listening spheres attend.
To heaven ascend: And swell the growing fame;
I shall behold His face, And sing, in songs which never end,
I shall His power adore, The wondrous name.
And sing the wonders of His grace
For evermore.
10 The God who reigns on high 3 How happy is our portion here—
The great archangels sing; God is love!
And, Holy, holy, holy, cry, His promises our spirits cheer—
Almighty King. God is love!
Who was and is the same. He is our Sun and Shield by day,
And evermore shall be; By night He near our tents will stay,
Jehovah, Father, Great I AM, He will be with us all the way
We worship Thee. God is love!

The ransomed' nations bow; God is love!
O ' e r w h e l m e d a t H i s a l m i g h t y grace, Yes, this shall be our highest strain—
For ever new: God is love!

Give thanks to God on high:
Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! KING of glory King of peace ,
They ever cry. I will love Thee;
Hail, Abraham's God, and mine! And that love may never cease,

All might and majesty are Thine, Thou hast granted my request,
And endless praise. Amen. Thou hast heard me;
Thou didst note my working breast.
H22 Thou hast spared me.

1 COME let us all unite and sing — 2 Wherefore with my utmost art
God is love! I will sing Thee,
While heaven and earth their praises bring And the cream of all my heart
God is love! I will bring Thee.
Let every soul from sin awake, Though my sins against me cried,
Each in his heart sweet music make, Thou didst clear me;
And sweetly sing for Jesu's sake— And alone, when they replied,
God is love! Thou didst hear me.
J
2 O tell to earth's remotest bound— 3 Seven whole days, not one in seven.
God is love! I will praise Thee;
In Christ is full redemption found— In my heart, though not in heaven,
God is love! I can raise Thee.
His blood can cleanse our sins away; Small it is, In this poor sort
His Spirit turns our night to day, To enrol Thee:
And leads our souls with joy to say E'en eternity's too short
God Is love! To extol Thee.

And bowed the heavens high, Fl y at your Lord's command
And underneath His feet He cast Assist our song,
The darkness of the sky. Or else the theme
Too high doth seem
4 On cherub and on cherubim For mortal tongue.
Full royally He rode;
And on the wings of all the winds 2 Ye blessed souls at rest.
Came flying all abroad. Who see your Saviour's face,
Whose glory, ev'n the least

That so I might be free; God's praises sound,
And kept me safe, because As in His sight
He had A favour unto me. With sweet delight
Ye do abound.

His word is truly tried; 3 Ye saints, who toil below,
He is a sure defence to such Adore your heavenly King,
As in His ways abide. And, onward as ye go,

To God the Father's love, To sing Thy glory or Thy grace?
For all our comforts here, Beneath Thy feet we lie afar,
And better hopes above. And see but shadows of Thy face.
He sent His own eternal Son,
To die for sins that man had done. 6 Who can behold the blazing light?
Who can approach consuming flame?

Immortal glory too, None but Thy word can speak Thy name.

O plunge me in Thy mercy's sea! . 5 Two worlds are ours :
Void of true wisdom is my heart; 'tis only sin Forbids us to descry
With love embrace and cover me. The mystic heaven and earth within,
Plain as the sea and sky.
3 Eternity Thy fountain was,
Which, like Thee, no beginning knew, 6 Thou, who hast given me eyes to see
Thou wart ere time began his race, And love this sight so fair,
Ere glowed with stars the ethereal blue. Give me a heart to find out Thee,
And read Thee everywhere.

Essential life's unbounded sea, H44
What lives and moves, lives by Thy word;
It lives, and moves. and Is. from Thee. 1 The spacious firmament on high ,

Greatness, whose undiminished ray, Their great Original proclaim,
When short-lived worlds are lost, shall shine The unwearied sun, from day to day,
When earth and heaven are fled away. Doth his Creator's power display;
And publishes to every land
H43 The work of an almighty hand.

1 THERE is a book who runs may r e a d , 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail,
Which heavenly truth imparts, The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And all the lore its scholars need, And nightly to the listening earth
Pure eyes and Christian hearts. Repeats the story of her birth :
While all the stars that round her burn,
2 The works of God above, below, And all the planets in their turn,
Within us and around, Confirm the tidings as they roll,
Are pages in that book, to show And spread the truth from pole to pole.
How God Himself is found.
3 What though in solemn silence all
3 The glorious sky, embracing all, Move round this dark terrestrial ball;
Is like the Maker's love, What though no real voice nor sound
Wherewith encompassed, great and Amidst their radiant orbs be found:
In peace peace and order move. In reason's ear they all rejoice.
And utter forth a glorious voice,
4 One Name above all glorious names, For ever singing as they shine :
With its ten thousand tongues The hand that made us is divine!
The everlasting sea proclaims, Amen.
Echoing angelic songs.

With merchandise go,

O God, Thou art great : Nor rage of rude wind.
In fathomless works
Thyself Thou dost hide. 7 O God, Thou art great!
Before Thy dark wisdom No greatness I see,
And power uncreate, Except Thee alone,
Man's mind, that dare praise Thee, Thy praise to record.
In fear must abide. O n a ll Th y wo rks mus in g
My pleasure shall be;
2 This earth where we dwell, My joy shall be singing :
That journeys in space, My soul, praise the Lord!
With air as a robe
Thou wrappest around : H46
Her countries she turneth
To greet the sun's face, 1 I SING the almighty power of God ,
Then plungeth to slumber That made the mountains rise,
In darkness profound. That spread the flowing seas abroad,
And built the lofty skies.
3 All seemeth so sure,
Yet nought doth remain : 2 I sing the wisdom that ordained
Unending their change The sun to rule the day:
Obeys Thy decree. The moon shines full at His command,
The valleys of ocean And all the stars obey.
Stand up a dry plain,
Thou whelmest the mountains 3 I sing the goodness of the Lord,
Beneath the deep sea. That filled the earth with food;
He formed the creatures with His word,
4 The clouds gather rain And then pronounced them good.
And melt o'er the land,
Then back to the sun 4 Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed
Are drawn by his shine: Where'er I turn mine eye,
Whereby the corn springiest If I survey the ground I tread,
Through toil of man's hand, Or gaze upon the sky;
And vineyards that gladden
His heart with good wine. 5 There's not a plant or flower below
But makes Thy glories known,
5 All beasts of the field And clouds arise and tempests blow
Rejoice in their life; By order from Thy throne.
Among the tall trees
Are light birds on wing; 6 God's hand is my , perpetual guard,
W i t h s tr a i n s o f t h e i r m u s i c He guides me with His eye;
The woodlands are rife; Why should I then forget the Lord,
They nest in thick branches Whose love is ever nigh?
And welcome sweet spring.

6 Lo, there is Thy sea,

Whose bosom below
With creatures doth teem,
Scaled fishes and finned.
H47 2 For ever firm Thy justice stands,
As mountains their foundations keep;
1 FATHER of all I whose powerful voice
Wise are the wonders of Thy hands;
Called forth this universal frame;
Thy judgements are a mighty deep.
Whose mercies over all rejoice,
Through endless ages still the same :
3 Thy providence is kind and large,
Both man and beast Thy bounty share;
2 Thou by Thy word upholdest all;
The whole creation is Thy charge,
Thy bounteous Jove to all is showed,
But saints are Thy peculiar care.
Thou hear'st Thy every creature's call,
And finest every mouth with good.
4 My God, how excellent Thy grace,
Whence all our hope and comfort springs !
3 Giver and Lord of life, whose power
The sons of Adam in distress
And guardian care for all are free,
Fly to the shadow of Thy wings.
To Thee, in fierce temptation's hour,
From sin and Satan let us flee.
5 Life, like a fountain rich and free,
Springs from the presence of the Lord;
4 Thine, Lord, we are, and ours Thou art;
And in Thy light our souls shall see
I n u s b e a l l T h y g o o d n e s s showed.
The glories promised in Thy word.
Renew, enlarge, and fill our
With peace, and joy, and heaven, and God.
H49
5 Father, 'tis Thine each day to yield
Thy children's wants a fresh supply; 1 THY ceaseless unexhausted love ,
Thou cloth'st the lilies of the field, Unmerited and free,
And hearest the young ravens cry. Delights our evil to remove,
And help our misery.
6 On Thee we cast our care; we live
Through Thee, who know'st our every need : 2 Thou waitest to be gracious still-,
0 feed us with Thy grace, and give Thou doss with sinners bear,
Our souls this day the living bread. That, saved, we may Thy goodness feel,
Amen. And all Thy grace declare.

3 Thy goodness and Thy truth to me,

H48 To every soul, abound,
A vast, unfathomable sea,
1 HIGH in the heavens eternal God ,
W h e r e a l l o u r t h o u g h t s a r e drowned.
T h y go od ness in full g lo r y shines;
Thy truth shall break through every cloud
4 Its streams the whole creation reach,
That veils and darkens Thy designs.
So plenteous is the store,
Enough for all, enough for each,
Enough for evermore.

5 Faithful, 0 Lord, Thy mercies are,

A rock that cannot move :
A thousand promises declare
Thy constancy of love.
6 Throughout the universe it reigns, . 3 Or if I stray, He doth convert,
Unalterably sure; And bring my mind in frame,
A n d w h i l e t h e t r u t h o f G o d remains, And all this not for my desert,
The goodness must endure. But for His holy name.

H50 4 Yea, in death's shady black abode

Well may I walk, not fear;
1 THE Lord's my Shepherd I'll not want; For Thou art with me, and Thy rod
He makes me down to lie To guide, Thy staff to bear.
In pastures green; He leadeth me
The quiet waters by. 5 Surely Thy sweet and wondrous love
Shall measure all my days;
2 My soul He doth restore again, And, as it never shall remove.
And me to walk doth make So neither shall my praise.
Within the paths of righteousness,
E'en for His own name's sake. H52
3 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale, 1 O LOVE of God how strong and true ;
Yet will I fear no ill; Eternal, and yet ever new;
For Thou art with me, and Thy rod Uncomprehended and unbought,
And staff me comfort still. B e y o n d a l l k n o w l e d g e a n d a l l thought!

4 My table Thou hast furnished 2 O heavenly Love, how precious still,

In presence of my foes; In days of weariness and Ill,
My head Thou lost with oil anoint, In nights of pain and helplessness,
And my cup overflows. To heal, to comfort, and to bless.

5 Goodness and mercy all my life 3 O wide-embracing, wondrous Love;

Shall surely follow me, We read thee In the sky above,
And in God's house for evermore My dwelling- We read thee in the earth below,
place shall be. In seas that swell and streams that flow.

H51 4 We read thee best In Him who came To bear

for us the Cross of shame, Sent by the Father
1 THE God of love MY Shepherd is , from on high, Our life to live, our death to die.
And He that doth me feed;
While He Is mine and I am His, 5 We read thy power to bless and save
What can I want or need? E'en In the darkness of the grave;
Still more In resurrection light
2 He leads me to the tender grass, We read the fullness of thy might.
Where I both feed and rest:
Then to the streams that gently pass : 6 O Love of God, our shield and stay
In both I have the best. Through all the perils of our way;
Eternal Love, in thee we rest,
For ever safe, for ever blest.
H53 6 But Thy compassions, Lord,
To endless years endure:
1 God is love His mercy brightens
And children's children ever find
All the path in which we rove;
Thy words of promise sure.
Bliss He wakes,and woe He lightens:
Amen.
God Is wisdom, God is, love.

2 Chance and change are busy ever; H55

Man decays, and ages move;
But His mercy waneth never : 1 LORD God by whom all change is wrought ,
God is wisdom, God Is love. By whom new things to birth are brought,
In whom no change is known;
3 E'en the hour that darkest seemeth Whate'er Thou dost, whate'er Thou art,
Will His changeless goodness prove; Thy people still In Thee have part,
F rom the gloo m H is br ig h tness streameth : Still, still Thou art our own.
God is wisdom, God is love.
2 Ancient of Days, we dwell in Thee;
4 He with earthly cares entwineth Out of Thine own eternity
Hope and comfort from above; Our peace and joy are wrought:
Everywhere His glory shineth : We rest in our eternal God.
God is wisdom, God is love. And make secure and sweet abode
With Thee, who changest not.
H54 3 Spirit who makest all things new,
Thou lewdest onward; we pursue
1 my soul repeat His praise
The heavenly march sublime.
Whose mercies are so great,
'Neath Thy renewing fire we glow,
Whose anger Is so slow to rise,
And still from strength to strength we go,
So ready to abate.
From height to height we climb.
2 God will not always chide:
4 Darkness and dread we leave behind.
And when His strokes are felt,
New light, new glory still we find.
His strokes are fewer than our crimes,
New realms divine possess;
And lighter than our guilt.
New births of grace, new raptures bring;
Triumphant, the new song we sing,
3 High as the heavens are raised
The great Renewer bless.
Above the ground we tread,
So far the riches of His grace
5 To Thee we rise. in Thee we rest;
Our highest thoughts exceed.
We stay at home, we g o in quest,
Still Thou art our abode.
4 The pity of the Lord
The rapture swells, the wonder grows,
To those that fear His name
As full on us new life still flows
Is such as tender parents feel;
From our unchanging God.
He knows our feeble frame.

5 Our days are as the grass,

Or like the morning flower:
If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field,
It withers in an hour.
H56
1 SWEET is the memory of Thy grace , 3 My thoughts lie open to Thee, Lord,
My God, my heavenly King : Before they're formed within;
Let age to age Thy righteousness And, ere my lips pronounce the word,
In sounds of glory sing. Thou know'st the sense I mean.

2 God reigns on high, but not confines 4 O wondrous knowledge, deep and high;
His bounty to the skies : Where can a creature hide?
Through the whole earth His goodness shines, Within Thy circling arms I lie,
And every want supplies. Beset on every side.

3 With longing eyes the creatures wait 5 So let Thy grace surround me still,
On Thee for daily food; And like a bulwark prove,
Thy liberal hand provides them meat, To guard my soul from every iII,
And fills their mouths with good. Secured by sovereign love.
Amen.
4 How kind are Thy compassion, Lord,
How slow Thine anger moves; H58
But soon He sends His pardoning word,
To cheer the souls He loves. 1 THE Lord Jehovah reigns ;
His throne is built on high,
5 Creatures, with all their endless race, The garments He assumes
Thy power and praise proclaim; Are light and majesty :
But we, who taste Thy richer grace, His glories shine with beams so bright,
Delight to bless Thy name. No mortal eye can bear the sight.

H57 2 The thunders of His hand

Keep the wide world in awe,
1 IN all my vast concerns with Thee , His wrath and justice stand
In vain my soul would try To guard His holy law;
To shun Thy presence, Lord, or flee And where His love resolves to bless,
The notice of Thine eye. His truth confirms and seals the grace.

2 Thy all-surrounding sight surveys 3 Through all His mighty works

My rising and my rest, Amazing wisdom shines,
My public walks, my private ways, Confounds the powers of hell,
The secrets of my breast. And breaks their dark designs;
Strong is His arm, and shall fulfil
His great decrees and sovereign will.

4 And will this sovereign King

Of Glory condescend?
And will He write His name
My Father and my Friend?
I love His name, I love His word,
Join all my powers to praise the
Lord.
Amen.
 4 Millions more Thou ready art
H59 To save, and to forgive;
Every soul and every heart
1 GOOD Thou art and good Thou dost , Of man Thou wouldst receive :
Thy mercies reach to all, Father, now accept of mine,
Chiefly those who on Thee trust, Which now, through Christ, I offer Thee;
And for Thy mercy call; Tell me now, in love divine,
New they every morning are; That Thou hast pardoned me.
As fathers when their children cry,
Us Thou dost in pity spare. H60
And all our wants supply.
I ERE God had built the mountains ,
2 Mercy o'er Thy works presides; Or raised the fruitful hills;
Thy providence displayed Before He filled the fountains
Still preserves, and still provides That feed the running riffs;
For all Thy hands have made; In me, from everlasting,
Keeps with most distinguished care The wonderful I AM
The man who on Thy love depends; Found pleasures never wasting.
Watches every numbered hair, And Wisdom is my name.
And all his steps attends.
2 When, like a tent to dwell in,
3 W h o c a n s o u n d t h e d e p t h s unknown He spread the skies abroad,
Of Thy redeeming grace; And swathed about the swelling
Grace that gave Thine only Son Of ocean's mighty flood,
To save a ruined race? He wrought by weight and measure,
Millions of transgressors poor And I was with Him then;
Thou hast for Jesu's sake forgiven, Myself the Father's pleasure,
Made them of Thy favour sure, And mine, the sons of men.
A n d s n a t c h e d f r o m h e l l t o heaven.
3 Thus Wisdom's words discover
Thy glory and Thy grace,
Thou everlasting lover
Of our unworthy race :
T h y gr acious e ye su rve yed us
Ere stars were seen above;
In wisdom Thou hast made us,
And died for us in love.

4 And couldst Thou be delighted

With creatures such as we,
Who, when we saw Thee, slighted
And nailed Thee to a tree?
Unfathomable wonder,
And mystery divine;
The voice that speaks in thunder
Says : Sinner, I am thine!

Still seeking, not Himself, but us

Who our dying souls reviveth, Scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
By whose arm upheld we stand. He bore the shameful Cross and death,
Now upon this cheerful morrow For us at length gave up His breath.

2 Love moved Him to die, Which bows Thee down to me, who less
And on this we rely; Than nothing am, till, Thou art mine?
He hath loved, He hath loved us
we cannot tell why;
But this we can tell,
He hath loved us so well
As to lay down His life to redeem
us from hell.

3 He hath ransomed our race;

O how shall we praise
Or worthily sing Thy unspeakable grace?
4 High throned on heaven's eternal hill, H68
In number, weight, and measure still
Thou sweetly orderest all that is : 1 NONE is like Jeshurun's God ,
And yet Thou deign'st to come to me, So great, so strong, so high;
And guide my steps, that I with Thee Lo ! He spreads His wings abroad,
Enthroned, may reign in endless He rides upon the sky :
Israel is His first-born son;
5 Fountain of good 1 All blessing flows God, the almighty God, is thine;
From Thee; no want Thy fullness knows: See Him to thy help come down,
What but Thyself cant Thou desire? The excellence divine.
Yet, self-sufficient as Thou art,
Thou dolt desire my worthless heart; 2 Thee the great Jehovah deigns
This, only this, dolt Thou require. To succour and defend;
Thee the eternal God sustains,
6 Primeval Beauty ! In Thy sight Thy Maker and thy Friend :
The first-born, fairest sons of light Israel, what hast thou to dread?
See all their brightest glories fade Safe from all impending harms,
What then to me Thine eyes could t u r n Round thee and beneath are spread
In sin conceived, of woman born— The everlasting arms.
A worm, a leaf, a blast, a shade?
3 God is thine; disdain to fear
7 Hell's armtes tremble at Thy nod, The enemy within:
And trembling own the Almighty God, God shall in thy flesh appear,
Sovereign of earth, hell, air, and sky : And make an end of sin;
But who is this that comes from far, God the man of sin shall slay,
Whose garments rolled in blood appear? Fill thee with triumphant joy;
'Tis God made Man, for man to die ! God shall thrust him out, and say :
Destroy them all, destroy!
8 O God, of good the unfathomed sea!
Who would not give his heart to Thee? 4 All the struggle then is o'er,
Who would not love Thee with his might? And wars and flghtings cease;
O Jesu, Lover of mankind, Israel then shall sin no more,
Who would not his whole soul and mind, But dwell in perfect peace
With all his strength, to Thee unite? All his enemies are gone;
Sin shall have in him no part;
Israel now shall dwell alone,
With Jesus in his heart.

5 Blest, O Israel, art thou!

What people is like thee?
Saved from sin by Jesus, now
Thou art and still shalt be;
Jesus Is thy sevenfold shield,
Jesus is thy flaming sword;
Earth, and hell, and sin shall yield
To God's almighty Word.
H69 5 Still from man to God eternal
Sacrifice of praise be done,
1 THIS this is the God we adore , High above all praises praising
Our faithful, unchangeable Friend; For the gift of Christ His Son.
Whose love is as great as His power, Christ doth call
And neither knows measure nor end. One and all :
Ye who follow shall not fall.
2 T’is Jesus, the first and the last,
Whose Spirit shall guide us safe home;
We'll praise Him for all that is past, H71
And trust Him for all that's to come.
1 WE come unto our fathers' God ;
H70 Their Rock is our salvation;
The eternal arms, their dear abode,
1 A LL my hope on God is founded ; We make our habitation;
He doth still my trust renew, We bring Thee, Lord, the praise they brought;
Me through change and chance He guideth, We seek Thee as Thy saints have sought
Only good and only true. In every generation.
God unknown,
He alone 2 The fire divine their steps that led
Calls my heart to be His own. Still goeth bright before us;
The heavenly shield around them spread
2 Pride of man and earthly glory, Is still high holden o'er us:
Sword and crown betray his trust : The grace those sinners that subdued,
What with care and toil he buildeth, The strength those weaklings that renewed,
Tower and temple fall to dust. Doth vanquish, doth restore us.
But God's power,
Hour by hour, 3 The cleaving sins that brought them low
Is my temple and my tower. Are still our souls oppressing;
The tears that from their eyes did flow
3 God's great goodness aye endureth, Fall fast, our shame confessing;
Deep His wisdom passing thought : As with Thee, Lord, prevailed their cry,
Splendour, light, and life attend So our strong prayer ascends on high
Him, And bringeth down Thy blessing.
Beauty springeth out of nought.
Evermore 4 Their Joy unto their Lord we bring;
From His store Their song to us descendeth;
New-born worlds rise and adore. The Spirit who in them did sing
To us His music lendeth;
4 Daily doth the Almighty Giver His sting in them, in us, is one;
Bounteous gifts on us bestow. We raise It high, we send it on.
His desire our soul delighteth, The song that never endeth.
Pleasure leads us where we go.
Love doth stand
At His hand;
Joy doth wait on His command.
5 Ye saints to come, take up the strain,
2 How dread are Thine eternal years,
The same sweet theme endeavour;
O everlasting Lord,
Unbroken be the golden chain;
By prostrate spirits day and night
Keep on the song for ever;
Incessantly adored!
Safe in the same dear dwelling-place,
Rich with the same eternal grace,
3 How beautiful, how beautiful,
Bless the same boundless giver.
The sight of Thee must be,
Thine endless wisdom, boundless power,
H72 And awful purity!

1 BEGIN my soul some heavenly theme ; 4 O how I fear Thee, living God,
Awake, my voice, and sing With deepest, tenderest fears,
The mighty works, or mightier name, And worship Thee with trembling hope
Of our eternal King. And penitential tears!

2 Tell of His wondrous faithfulness, 5 Yet I may love Thee too,

And sound Rid power abroad; OLord, Almighty as Thou art,
Sing the sweet promise of His grace, For Thou hest stooped to ask of me
The quickening word of God. The love of my poor heart.

3 Proclaim salvation from the Lord, 6 No earthly father loves like Thee;
For wretched, dying men : No mother, e' er so mild.
His hand hath writ the sacred word Bears and forbears as Thou halt done
With an immortal pen. With me, Thy sinful child.

4 Engraved as in eternal brass, 7 Father of Jesus, love's reward,

The mighty promise shines; What rapture will it be
Nor can the powers of darkness rase Prostrate before Thy throne to lie,
Those everlasting lines. And gaze, and gaze on Thee.

5 His every word of grace is strong

As that which built the skies;
H74
The voice that rolls the stars along
1 PRAISE to the Holiest in the height ,
Speaks all the promises.
And in the depth be praise :
In all His words most wonderful;
6 Now shall my fainting heart rejoice
Most sure in all His ways.
To know Thy favour sure :
I trust the all-creating voice,
2 O loving wisdom of our God!
And faith desires no more.
When all was sin and shame,
A second Adam to the fight
H73 And to the rescue came.

1 MY God how wonderful Thou art , 3 O wisest love I that flesh and blood
Thy majesty how bright! Which did in Adam fail,
How beautiful Thy mercy-seat, Should strive afresh against the foe.
In depths of burning light! Should strive and should prevail.
4 And that a higher gift than grace
Should flesh and blood refine, God's
presence, and His very self
And essence all-divine.
5 O generous love! that He, who smote
In man for man the foe, H76
The double agony in man
For man should undergo, 1 THE King of love my Shepherd is ,
Whose goodness faileth never;
8 And in the garden secretly, I nothing lack if I am His
And on the Cross on high, And He is mine for ever.
Should teach His brethren, and inspire
To suffer and to die. 2 Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul He leadeth,
H75 And where the verdant pastures grow
With food celestial feedeth.
1 FATHER whose everlasting love
3 Perverse and foolish oft I strayed;
Thy only Son for sinners gave,
But yet in love He sought me,
Whose grace to all did freely move,
And on His shoulder gently laid,
And sent Him down the world to save :
And home rejoicing brought me.
2 Help us Thy mercy to extol,
4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill
Immense, unfathomed, unconfined;
With Thee, dear Lord, beside me;
To praise the Lamb who died for all,
Thy rod and staff my comfort still.
The general Saviour of mankind.
Thy Cross before to guide me.
3 Thy undistinguishing regard
5 Thou spread'st a table in my sight;
Was cast on Adam's fallen race;
Thy unction grace bestoweth;
For all Thou hast in Christ prepared
And 0 what transport of delight
Sufficient, sovereign, saving grace.
From Thy pure chalice floweth I
4 The world He suffered to redeem;
6 And so through all the length of days
For all He hath the atonement made;
Thy goodness faileth never;
For those that will not come to
Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
Him The ransom of His life was paid.
Within Thy house for ever !
Amen.
5 Arise, O God, maintain Thy cause!
The fullness of the Gentiles call;
Lift up the standard of Thy Cross, H77
And all shall own Thou diedst for all.
I WHAT shall I do my God to love ,
My loving God to praise?
T he le ng th , a nd b r ea dth , and height to prove,
And depth of sovereign grace?

2 Thy sovereign grace to all extends,

Immense and unconfined;
From age to age it never ends;
It reaches all mankind.

3 Throughout the world Its breadth is known,

Wide as infinity;
So wide it never passed by one,
Or It had passed by me.
.
4 My trespass was grown up to heaven;
But far above the skies. 4 How great a being, Lord, is Thine,
In Christ abundantly forgiven, Which doth all beings keep !
I see Thy mercies rise. Thy knowledge is the only line
To sound so vast a deep.
5 The depth of all-redeeming love Thou art a sea without a shore,
What angel tongue can tell? A sun without a sphere;
O may I to the utmost prove Thy time is now and evermore,
The gift unspeakable. Thy place is everywhere.

6 Come quickly, gracious, Lord, and take H79

Possession of Thine Own;
My longing heart vouchsafe to make 1 PRAISE ye the Lord 'Tis good to raise
Thine everlasting throne. Amen. You hearts and voices in His praise :
His nature and His works invite
H78 To make this duty our delight.

1 HOW shall I sing that majesty 2 He formed the stars, those heavenly flames,
Which angels do admire? He counts their numbers, calls their names;
Let dust in dust and silence lie; His wisdom's vast, and knows no bound,
Sing, sing, ye heavenly choir. A deep where all our thoughts are drowned.
Thousands of thousands stand around
Thy throne, O God most high 3 Sing to the Lord 1, Exalt Him high,
Ten thousand times ten thousand sound Who spreads His clouds along the sky;
Thy praise; but who am I? There He prepares the fruitful rain,
Nor lets the drops descend in vain.
2 Thy brightness unto them appears;
Whilst I Thy footsteps trace 4 He makes the grass the hills adorn,
A sound of God comes to my ears, And clothes the smiling fields with corn;
But they behold Thy face. The beasts with food His hands supply.
They sing because Thou art their Sun; And the young ravens when they cry.
Lord, send a beam on me;
For where heaven is but once begun 5 What is the creature's skill or force?
There alleluias be. The sprightly manor warlike horse?
The piercing wit, the active limb?
3 Enlighten with faith's light my heart, All are too mean delights for Him.
Inflame it with love's fire;
Then shall I sing and bear a part 6 But saints are lovely in His sight,
With that celestial choir. He views His children with delight;
I shall, I fear, be dark and cold, He sees their hope, He knows their fear,
With all my fire and light; And looks, and loves His image there.
Yet when Thou dost accept their gold,
Lord, treasure up my mite.
H80 . 3 Thy work alone, O Christ,
Can ease this weight of sin;
I THEE will I praise with all my heart , Thy blood alone, b Lamb of God,
And tell mankind how good Thou art, Can give me peace within.
How marvellous Thy works of grace;
Thy name I will in songs record, 4 Thy love to me, O God,
And joy and glory in my Lord, Not mine, OLord, to Thee,
Extolled above all thanks aid praise. Can rid me of this dark unrest,
And set my spirit flee.
2 The Lord will save His people here
In times of need their help is near 5 Thy grace alone, O God,
To all by sin and hell oppressed; To me can pardon speak;
And they that know Thy name will trust Thy power alone, )Son of God,
In Thee, who, to Thy promise just, Can this sore bondage break.
Host never left a soul distressed.
6 I bless the Christ of God,
3 The Lord is by His Judgements known; I rest on love divine,
He helps His poor afflicted one, And with unfaltering lip and heart,
His sorrows all He bears in mind; I call this Saviour mine.
The mourner shall not always weep,
Who sows in tears in Joy shall reap, H82
With grief who seeks with joy shall find.
1 HARK the glad sound The Saviour comes ,
4 A helpless soul that looks to Thee The Saviour promised long;
Is sure at last Thy face to see, Let every heart prepare a throne,
And all Thy goodness to partake; And every voice a song.
The sinner who for Thee doth grieve,
And longs, and labours to believe, 2 He comes the prisoners to release,
Thou never, never wilt forsake. In Satan's bondage held;
The gates of brass before Him burst,
H81 The iron fetters yield.

1 NOT what these hands have done

Can save this guilty soul;
Not what this toiling flesh has borne
Can make my spirit whole.

2 Not what I feel or do

Can give me peace with God;
Not all my prayers, and sighs, and tears
Can bear my awful load.
3 He comes the broken heart to bind, 5 O ye heights of heaven, adore Him
The bleeding soul to cure, Angel hosts, His praises sing;
And with the treasures of His grace All dominions, bow before Him,
To enrich the humble poor. And extol our Clod and King;
Let no tongue on earth be silent
4 Our glad hosannas. Prince of Peace, Every voice in concert sing,
Thy welcome shall proclaim. Evermore and evermore
And heaven's eternal arches ring With Amen.
Thy beloved name.

Of the things that are, that have been, 2 Thou art the King of Israel,
And that future years shall see, Thou David's royal Son,

Whom the voices of the prophets Our praise, and prayer, and anthe
Promised in their faithful word; Before Thee we present.
Now He shines, the long-expected; All glory-
Let creation praise its Lord,'
Evermore and evermore. 5 To Thee before Thy passion
They sang their hymns of praise
4 Now let old and young uniting To Thee now high exalted
Chant to Thee harmonious lays; Our melody we raise.
Maid and matron hymn Thy glory, All glory-
Infant lips their anthems raise,
Boys and girls together singing 6 Thou Bidet accept their praises
With pure heart their song of praise. Accept the prayers we bring,
Evermore and evermore. Who in all good delightest,
Thou good and gracious King
All glory--
Amen

H85 They have their day and cease to be :
They are but broken lights of Thee,

With angels round the throne
Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one. H87
1 JESUS comes with all His grace ,
2 Worthy the Lamb that died, they cry, Comes to save a fallen race
To be exalted thus; Object of our glorious hope,
Worthy the Lamb, our hearts reply, Jesus comes to lift us up.
For He was slain for us.

3 Jesus Is worthy to receive Let the sons of Abraham shout;
Honour and power divine; Praise we all our lowly King,
And blessings, more than we can give, Give Him thanks, rejoice, and sing.
Be, Lord, for ever Thine.
3 He hath our salvation wrought,
4 The whole creation join in one He our captive souls hath bought.
To bless the sacred name He hath reconciled to God,
Of Him that sits upon the throne, He hath washed us in His blood.
And to adore the Lamb.
4 We are now His lawful right,
H86 Walk as children of the light;
We shall soon obtain the grace,
1 STRONG Son of God immortal Love , Pure in heart, to see His face.
Whom we, that have not seen Thy face,
By faith, and faith alone, embrace, 5 We shall gain our calling's prize;
Believing where we cannot prove; After God we all shall rise,
Filled with Joy, and love, and peace,
2 Thou wilt not leave us in the dust : Perfected in holiness.
Thou madest man, he knows not why:
He thinks he was not made to die; H88
And Thou hast made Him: Thou art just.
1 We know by faith we surely know ,
3 Thou seemest human and divine, The Son of God is come,
The highest, holiest manhood, Thou ; Is manifested here below.
Our wills are ours, we know not how : And makes our hearts His home :
Our wills are ours, to make them Thine. To us He hath, in gracious love,
An understanding given,
To recognize Him from above
The Lord of earth and heave.
2 The self-existing God supreme, H90
Our Saviour we adore,
Fountain of life eternal, Him 1 OBJECT of my first desire .
We worship evermore : Jesus, crucified for me;
Out of His plenitude receive Ineffable delight, All to happiness aspire,
And shall through endless ages live Only to be found in Thee.
Triumphant in His sight.
2 Thee to praise, and Thee to know,
H89 Constitute my bliss below:
Thee to see, and Thee to love,
1 C H R I S T o f a l l m y h o p e s t h e ground , Constitute my bliss above.
Christ, the spring of all my joy,
Still in Thee may I be found, 3 Lord, it is not life to live,
Still for Thee my powers employ. If Thy presence Thou deny:
Lord, if Thou Thy presence give,
2 Let Thy love my heart inflame, 'Tis no longer death to die.
Keep Thy fear before my sight,
Be Thy praise my highest aim. 4 Source and giver of repose.
Be Thy smile my chief delight. Only from Thy smile it flows,
Peace and happiness are Thine;
3 When affliction clouds my sky, Mine they are, If Thou art mine.
And the wintry tempests blow,
Let Thy mercy-beaming eye 5 Let me but Thyself possess—
Sweetly cheer the night of woe. Total sum of happiness
Real bliss I then shall prove,
4 When new triumphs of Thy name Heaven below and heaven above.
Swell the raptured songs above, Amen.
May I feel a kindred flame.
Full of zeal, and full of love. H91

Fly on wings of gospel light, Let angels prostrate fall;
Leading on millennial days, B r ing f or th t h e r o y al dia de m
Scattering all the shades of night. To crown Him Lord of all.
6 Fountain of O'erflowing grace, 2 Crown Him, ye martyrs of our God,
Freely from Thy fullness give; Who from His altar call;
Till I close my earthly race, Extol Him in whose path ye trod,
May I prove it Christ to live. And crown Him Lord of all.
7 Firmly trusting in Thy blood, 3 Ye seed of Israel's chosen race,
Nothing shall my heart confound; Ye ransomed from the fall,
Safely shall I pass the flood, Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
Safely reach Immanuel's ground. And crown Him Lord of all.
8 Thus, O thus, an entrance give 4 Sinners I whose love can ne'er forget
To the land of cloudless sky; The wormwood and the gall;
Having known it Christ to live, Go spread your trophies at His feet,
Let me find it gain to die. And crown Him Lord of all
Amen.
5 Let every tribe and every tongue 2 Jesus is the Name we treasure.
Before Him prostrate fall, Name beyond what words can tell;
And shout in universal song Name of gladness, Name of pleasure,
The crowned Lord of all. Ear and heart delighting well;
Name of sweetness passing measure,
6 O that with yonder sacred throng Saving up from sin and hell.
We at His feet may fall,
Join in the everlasting song. 3 'Tis the Name for adoration,
And crown Him Lord of all! Name for songs of victory,
Name for holy meditation
In this vale of misery.
H92 Name for Joyful veneration
By the citizens on high.
1 JESUS I the name high over all ,
In hell, or earth, or sky; 4 'TIs the Name that whoso preacheth
Angels and men before it fall, Speaks like music to the ear;
And devils fear and fly. Who In prayer this Name beseecheth
Sweetest comfort fIndeth near;
2 Jesus I the name to sinners dear, Who its perfect wisdom reacheth,
The name to sinners given; Heavenly joy possesseth here.
It scatters all their guilty fear,
It turns their hell to heaven. 5 Jesus is the Name exalted
Over every other name;
3 Jesus I the prisoner's fetters breaks, In this Name, whene'er assaulted,
And bruises Satan's head; We can put our foes to shame :
Power into strengthless souls it speaks, Strength to them who else had halted,
And life into the dead. Eyes to blind, and feet to lame.

4 O that the world might taste and see 6 Therefore we in love adoring,
The riches of His grace; This most blessed Name revere,
The arms of love that compass me Holy Jesu, Thee imploring
Would all mankind embrace. So to write it in us here
That, hereafter heavenward soaring,
5 His only righteousness I show, We may sing with Angels there.
His saving grace proclaim; Amen.
'Tis all my business here below
To cry : Behold the Lamb! H94
6 Happy, if with my latest breath I NONE other Lamb none other Name ,
I might but gasp His name; None other hope in heaven or earth or sea,
Preach Him to all, and cry in death : None other hiding-place from guilt and shame,
Behold, behold the Lamb! None beside Thee.

H93
1 To the Name of our salvation ,
Laud and honor let us pay,
Which for many a generation
Hid in God's foreknowledge lay,
But with holy exultation
We may sing aloud to-day.

Only my heart's desire cries out in me, H96
By the deep thunder of its want and woe,
Cries out to Thee. 1 JOIN all the glorious names
Of wisdom, love, and power,
3 Lord, Thou art life, though I be dead; That ever mortals knew,
Love's fire Thou art, however cold I be : That angels ever bore:
Nor heaven have I, nor place to lay my head, All are too mean to speak His worth,
Nor home, but Thee. Too mean to set our Saviour forth.

Joy and Peace for ever. O let my feet ne'er run astray,
Joy that fades not, changes not, Nor rove, nor seek the crooked way!
Peace that leaves us never.
Joy and peace we have in Thee. 6 I love my Shepherd's voice;
Now and through eternity. His watchful eye shall keep
My wandering soul among

Take me now, possess me whole. And lo! from sin, and grief, and shame
Who for me, for me, halt died. I hide me, Jesus, in Thy name.

Into life eternal rise. Pardon, and holiness, and heaven.

In shame my glory and my crown : His is love beyond a brother's,
Costly, free, and knows no end;
4 In want my plentiful supply, T h e y w h o o n c e H i s k i n d n e s s prove,
In weakness my almighty power, Find it everlasting love.
In bonds my perfect liberty,
My light in Satan's darkest hour, 2 Which of all our friends, to save us,
In grief my joy unspeakable, Could or would have shed his blood?
My life in death, my heaven in hell. But our Jesus died to have us
Reconciled in Him to God:
This was boundless love indeed;
H99 Jesus is a friend in need.
1 HOW sweet the name of Jesus sounds 3 When He lived on earth abased
In In a believer’s ear! Friend of sinners was His name;
I t soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, Now above all glories raised,
And drives away his fear. He rejoices in the same;
Still He calls them brethren, friends,
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, And to all their wants attends.
And calms the troubled breast;
"Tis manna to the hungry soul, 4 O for grace our hearts to soften!
And to the weary rest. Teach us, Lord, at length to love;
We, alas! forget too often
3 Dear name! the Rock on which I build, What a friend we have above;
My shield, and hiding-Place. But when home our souls are brought,
My never-falling treasury, filled We shall love Thee as we ought.
With boundless stores of grace!

My Prophet, Priest, and King
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, 1 REST of the weary .
Accept the praise I bring. Joy of the sad,
Hope of the dreary,
5 Weak is the effort of my heart. Light of the glad,
And cold my warmest thought; Rome of the stranger,
But when I see Thee as Thou art Strength to the end,
I'll praise Thee as I ought. Refuge from danger,
Saviour and Friend.
6 Till then I would Thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
And may the music of Thy name
Refresh my soul In death.
Amen.
2 Pillow where, lying, 5 For warm, sweet, tender, even yet
Love rests its head, A present help Is He;
Peace of the dying, And faith has still Its Olivet,
Life of the dead. And love its Galilee.
Path of the lowly,
Prize at the end, 6 The healing of His seamless dress
Breath of the holy, Is by our beds of pain;
baviour and Friend. We touch Him in life's throng and press,
And we are whole again.
3 When my feet stumble,
I'll to Thee cry : 7 Through Him the first fond prayers are said
Crown of the humble, O u r l i ve o f c h i l d h o o d fr a m e ,
Cross of the high. The last low whispers of our dead
When my steps wander, Are burdened with His name.
Over me bend,
Truer and fonder, 8 O Lord and Master of us all,
Saviour and Friend. Whate'er our name or sign,
We own Thy away, we hear Thy call,
4 Ever confessing We test our lives by Thine.
Thee, I will raise
Unto Thee blessing, H103
Glory, and praise:
All my endeavour, 1 O LORD and Master of us all ,
World without and, Whate'er our name or sign,
Thine to be ever, We own Thy away, we bear Thy call,
Saviour and Friend We test our lives by Thine.

2 Thou judgest us : Thy purity

H102 Doth all our l u s t s c o n d e m n ;
The love that draws us nearer Thee
1 IMMORTAL Love for ever full . Is hot with wrath to them.
For ever flowing free,
For ever shared, for ever whole, 3 O u r t h o u g h t s l i e o v e n t o T h y sight;
A never-ebbing sea : And, naked to Thy glance,
Our secret sins are in the light
2 Our outward lips confess the Name Of Thy pure countenance.
All other names above;
Love only knoweth whence it came, 4 Yet, weak and blinded though we be,
And comprehendeth love. Thou dost our service own;
We bring our varying gifts to Thee.
3 We may not climb the heavenly steeps And Thou rejectest none.
To bring the Lord Christ down :
In vain we search the lowest deeps, 5 Apart from Thee all gain In lose,
For Him no depths can drown. All labour vainly done;
The solemn shadow of Thy Cross
4 In joy of inward pears, or sense Is better than the sun.
Of sorrow over sin,
He is His own best evidence.
His witness is within.
6 Our Friend, our Brother, and our Lord. H106
What may Thy service be?
Nor name, nor form, nor ritual word, 1 JESU The very thought is sweet ,
But simply following Thee. In that dear name all heart-joys meet;
But sweeter than the honey far
7 We faintly hear, we dimly see, The glimpses of His presence are.
In differing phrase we :pray;
But, dim pr clear, we own in Thee 2 No word is sung more sweet than this,
The Light, the Truth, the Way. No name Is heard more full of bliss,
No thought brings sweeter comfort nigh
Than Jesus, Son of God most high.
H104
3 I seek for Jesus in repose,
1 THOU great Redeemer dying Lamb , When round my heart its chambers close;
We love to hear of Thee; Abroad, and when I shut the door,
No music's like Thy charming name, I l on g for J es us e ve r m or e .
Nor half so sweet can be.
4 With Mary in the morning gloom
2 Our Jesus shall be still our theme I seek for Jesus at the tomb:
While in this world we stay : For Him, with love's most earnest cry,
We'll sing our Jesu's lovely name I seek with heart and not with eye.
When all things else decay.
5 Jesus, to God the Father gone,
8 When we appear in yonder cloud, Is seated on the heavenly throne :
With all that favoured throng, My heart hath also passed from me,
Then will we sing more sweet, more loud, That where He is there it may be.
And Christ shall be our song.
6 We follow Jesus now, and raise
H105 The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise
That He at last may make us meet
1 JESUS the First and Last , With Him to gain the heavenly amt.
On Thee my soul is cast :
Thou didst Thy work begin H107
By blotting out my sin;
Thou wilt the root remove 1 O JESUS King most wonderful !
And perfect me in love. Thou Conqueror renowned;
Thou Sweetness most ineffable,
2 Yet when the work is done, In whom all joys are found!
The work is but begun:
Partaker of Thy grace. 2 When once Thou visitest the heart,
I long to see Thy face; Then truth begins to shine,
The first I prove below, Then earthly vanities depart,
The last I die to know. Then kindles love divine.
3 O Jesus, Light of all below!
4 But what to those who find? Ah! this
Thou Fount of living fire,
Nor tongue nor pen can show:
Surpassing all the joys we know,
The love of Jesus, what it is
And all we can desire :
5 Jesu, our only joy be Thou,
As Thou our prize wilt be;
4 Jesus, may all confess Thy name,
Jesu, be Thou our glory now,
Thy wondrous love adore;
And through eternity.
And, seeking Thee, themselves inflame
Amen.
To seek Thee more and more.

5 Thee may our tongues for ever bless, H109

Thee may we love alone,
And ever in our lives express 1 JESU Thou Joy of loving hearts ,
The image of Thine own. Thou Fount of life, Thou Light of men,
From the best bliss that earth Imparts
6 Abide with us, and let Thy light We turn unfilled to Thee again.
Shine, Lord, on every heart;
Dispel the darkness of our night, 2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood;
And joy to all impart. Thou savest those that on Thee call;
To them that seek Thee Thou art good.
7 Jesus, our Love and Joy, to Thee, To them. that find Thee, all In all.
The Father's holy Son,
All might, and praise, and glory be, 3 We taste Thee, 0 Thou living Bread.
While endless ages run. And long to feast upon Thee still;
Amen. We drink of Thee, the fountain-head,
And thirst our souls from Thee to nil.
H108 4 Our restless spirits yearn for Thee
Where'er our changeful lot is cast;
I JESU the very thought of Thee
Glad when Thy gracious smile we see,
With sweetness fills my breast;
Blest when our faith can hold Thee fast.
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.
5 O Jesus, ever with us stay:
Make all moments calm and bright;
2 Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
Chase the dark night of sin away;
Nor can the memory find
Shed o'er the world Thy holy light.
A sweeter sound than Thy blest name,
Amen.
O Saviour of mankind!

3 O Hope of Every contrite heart,

O Joy of all the meek,
To those who fall how kind Thou art!
How good to those who seek!
H110
1 JESU Lover of my soul , 3 Like some bright dream that comes unsought,
Let me to Thy bosom fly, When slumbers o'er me roll,
While the nearer waters roll, Thy image ever fills my thought,
While the tempest still is high : And charms my ravished soul.
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
Till the storm of life be past; 4 Yet, though I have not seen, and still
Safe into the haven guide. Must rest in faith alone;
O receive my soul at last. I love Thee, dearest Lord, and will,
Unseen but not unknown.
2 Other refuge have I none,
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; 5 When death these mortal eyes shall seal,
Leave, ahl leave me not alone, And still this throbbing heart,
Still support and comfort me : The rending veil shall Thee reveal
All my trust on Thee is stayed, All glorious as Thou art.
All my help from Thee I bring;
Cover my defenceless head H112
With the shadow of Thy wing.
1 I BLESS the Christ of God ;
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want, I rest on love divine;
More than all in Thee I find. And with unfaltering lip and he!art,
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, I call the Saviour mine.
Heal the sick, and lead the blind :
Just and holy is Thy name, 2 His Cross dispels each doubt :
I am all unrighteousness; I bury in His tomb
False and full of sin I am, Each thought of unbelief and fear,
Thou art full of truth and grace. Each lingering shade of gloom.

4 Plenteous grace with Thee Is found, 3 I praise the God of grace;

Grace to cover all my sin; I trust His truth and might;
Let the healing streams abound, He calls me His, I call Him mine,
Make and keep me pure within : My God, my joy, my light.
Thou of life the fountain art.
Freely let me take of Thee, 4 In Him Is only good,
Spring Thou up within my heart, In me is only ill;
R i s e t o a l l e te r n i t y. My Ill but draws His goodness forth,
Amen. And me He loveth still.

H111 5 "Tis He who saveth me,

And freely pardon gives;
1 JESUS these eyes have never seen I love because He loveth me,
That radiant form of Thine; I live because He lives.
The veil of sense hangs dark between
Thy blessed face and mine. 6 My life with Him Is hid,
My death has passed away,
2 I see Thee not, I hear Thee not, My clouds have melted into light,
Yet art Thou oft with me; My midnight into day.
And earth hath ne’er so dear a spot,
As where ,I meet with Thee.
H113 H114
1 WHEN morning gilds the skies , 1 LET earth and heaven agree ,
My heart awaking cries : Angels and men be joined.
May Jesus Christ be praised! To celebrate with me
Alike at work and prayer The Saviour of mankind;
To Jesus I repair : To adore the all-atoning Lamb,
May Jesus Christ be praised! And bless the sound of Jesu's name.
2 Does sadness fill my mind? 2 Jesus, transporting sound!
A solace here I find - The joy of earth and heaven;
May Jesus Christ be praised! No other help is found,
When evil thoughts molest, No other name is given,
With this I shield my breast By which we can salvation have;
May Jesus Christ be praised! But Jesus came the world to save.
3 Be this, when day is past, 3 Jesus, harmonious name!
Of all my thoughts the last, It charms the hosts above,
May Jesus Christ be praised They evermore proclaim
The night becomes as day, And wonder at His love;
When from the heart we say 'Tis all their happiness to gaze,
May Jesus Christ be praised! 'Tis heaven to see our Jesu's face.
4 To God, the Word, on high 4 His name the sinner hears,
The hosts of angels cry, And Is from sin set free;
May Jesus Christ be praised! 'Tis music in his ears,
Let mortals, too, upraise 'Tis life and victory;
Their voice in hymns of praise : New songs do now his lips employ,
May Jesus Christ be praised! And dances his glad heart for joy.
5 Let earth's wide circle round 5 Stung by the scorpion sin,
In joyful notes resound : My poor expiring soul
May Jesus Christ be praised! The healing sound drinks in,
Let air, and sea, and sky, And is at once made whole :
From depth to height, reply See there my Lord upon the tree!
May Jesus Christ be praised! I hear, I feel, He died for me.
6 Be this while life is mine, 6 O unexampled love!
My canticle divine, O all-redeeming grace!
May Jesus Christ be praised! How swiftly didst Thou move
Be this the eternal song To save a fallen race :
Through all the ages long, What shall I do to make it known
May Jesus Christ be praised! What Thou for all mankind hest done?
Amen.
7 O for a trumpet voice.
On all the world to call!
To bid their hearts rejoice
In Him who died for all;
For all my Lord was crucified,
For all, for all my Saviour died.

Go me let us sing: Praise to our King,
I MY heart and voice I raise , Jesus our King, Jesus our King:
To spread Messiah's praise; This is our song, who to Jesus belong:
Messiah's praise let all repeat; Glory to Jesus, to Jesus our King.
The universal Lord,
By whose almighty word 2 All men shall dwell in His marvellous light,
Creation rose in form complete. Races long severed His love shall unite,
Justice and truth from His sceptre shall spring,
2 A servant's form He wore, Wrong shall be ended when Jesus is King.
And in His body bore
Our dreadful curse on Calvary; 3 All shall be well in His kingdom of peace,
He like a victim stood, Freedom shall flourish and wisdom increase,
And poured His sacred blood, F o e s h a l l b e f r i e n d w h e n H i s triumph we sing,
To set the guilty captives free. Sword shall be sickle when Jesus is King.

3 But soon the Victor rose 4 Souls shall be saved from the burden of sin,
Triumphant o'er His foes, Doubt shall not darken His witness within,
And led the vanquished host in chains : Hell hath no terrors, and death hath no sting;
He threw their empire down, Love is victorious when Jesus is King.
His foes compelled to own
O'er all the great Messiah reigns. 5 Kingdom of Christ, for thy coming we pray,
Hasten, O Father, the dawn of the day
4 With mercy's mildest grace, When this new song Thy creation shall sing,
He governs all our race Satan is vanquished and Jesus is King.
In wisdom, righteousness, and love :
Who to Messiah fly
Shall find redemption nigh,
And all great salvation prove.

5 Hail, Saviour, Prince of Peace!

Thy kingdom shall increase,
Till all the world Thy glory see,
And righteousness abound
As the great deep profound,
And fill the earth with purity.

Born to give them second birth. Yonder shines the infant light;

God's wondrous love In saving lost mankind;
1 CHRISTIANS awake salute the happy morn , Trace we the Babe, who hath retrieved our loss,
Whereon the Saviour of the world was born; From the Poor manger to the bitter Cross;
Rise to adore the mystery of love. Which hosts Tread In His steps, assisted by His grace,
of angels chanted from above; T i l l m a n ' s f i r s t h e a v e n l y s ta te again takes place.
With them the joyful tidings first begun
Of God Incarnate and the Virgin's Son. 6 Then may we hope, the angelic hosts among,
To sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song;
2 Then to the watchful shepherds It was told. He that was born upon this joyful day
Who heard the angelic herald's voice : Behold, Around us all His glory shall display;
I bring good tidings of a Saviour's birth Saved by His love, incessant we shall sing
To you and all the nations upon earth; Eternal praise to heaven's almighty King.
This day hath God fulfilled His promised word,
This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord. H121
3 He spake; and straightway the celestial choir
In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire. 1 ALL my heart this night rejoices ,
The praises of redeeming love they sang, As I hear, far and near,
And heaven's whole orb with hallelujahs rang; Sweetest angel voices :
God's highest glory was their anthem still. Christ is born I their choirs are singing,
Peace upon earth, and unto men good-will. Till the air, everywhere,
Now with joy is ringing.
4 To Bethlehem straight the enlightened
shepherds ran, 2 Hark I a voice from yonder manger,
To see the wonder God had wrought for man: Soft and sweet, doth entreat :
Then to their Socks, still praising God, return, Flee from woe and danger;
And their glad hearts with holy rapture burn; B r e t hre n , c o me ; fr om a l l do t h grieve you,
Amazed, the wondrous tidings they proclaim, You are freed; all you need
The first apostles of His infant fame. I will surely give you.

By Thy face so meek and mild, The blessed Christ Child lieth there.
Teach us to resemble Thee
In Thy sweet humility. 2 Ah, Lord, who hast created all,
How hast Thou made Thee weak and small,
That Thou must choose Thy Infant bed
H125 Where ass and ox but lately fed?
1 O LITTLE town of Bethlehem , 3 Were earth a thousand times as fair.
How still we see thee lie ! Beset with gold and jewels rare,
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep She yet were far too poor to be
The silent stars go by : A narrow cradle, Lord, for Thee.
Yet in thy dark street shineth
The everlasting Light; 4 Ah, dearest Jesus, holy child,
The hopes and fears of- all the years Make Thee a bed, soft, undefiled,
Are met in thee to-night. Within my heart, that It may be
A quiet chamber kept for Thee.
2 O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth, 5 My heart for very joy cloth leap.
And praises sing to God the King, My lips no more their silence keep;
And peace to men on earth; I too most sing with joyful tongue
For Christ is bore of Mary; That sweetest ancient cradle-song
And, gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep 6 Glory to God in highest heaven,
Their watch of wondering love. Who unto man His Son hath given:
While angels sing with pious mirth
3 How silently, how silently A glad new year to all the earth.
The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven. H127
No ear may hear His coming;
But in this world of sin, 1 CRADLED in a manger, meanly
Where meek souls will receive Him, still Laid the Son of Man His head;
The dear Christ enters in. Sleeping His first earthly slumber
Where the oxen had been fed.
4 O holy Child of Bethlehem, Happy were those shepherds listening
Descend to us, we pray; To the holy angel's word:
Cast out our sin, and enter In: Happy they within that stable.
Be born in us to-day. Worshipping their Infant Lord.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
0 come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Immanuel.
Amen.
2 Happy all who hear the message
Of His coming from above; All for to be taxed with many one Moe,
Happier still who hail His coming, For Caesar commanded the same should be so.
And with praises greet His love.
Blessed Saviour, Christ most holy, 3 But when they had entered the city so fair,
In a manger Thou didst rest; A number of people so Mighty was there,
Canst Thou stoop again, yet lower, That Joseph and Mary, whose substance was small,
And abide within my breast? Could find in the inn there no lodging at all.

3 Evil things are there before Thee; 4 Then were they constrained in a stable to lie,
In the heart, where they have fed, Where horses and asses they used for to tie:
Wilt Thou pitifully enter, Their lodging so simple they took it no scorn,
Son of Man, and lay Thy head? But against the next morning our Saviour was
Enter, then, 0 Christ most holy; born.
Make a Christmas in my heart;
Make a heaven of my manger ; 5 The King of all kings to this world being brought,
It is heaven where Thou art. Small store of fine linen to wrap
Him was sought,
4 And to those who never Listened But when she had swaddled her young son so
To the message of Thy birth, sweet,
Who have winter, but no Christmas Within an ox-manger she laid Him to sleep.
Bringing them Thy peace on earth,
Send to these the joyful tidings; 6 T h e n G o d s e n t a n a n g e l f r o m heaven so
By all people, in each home, high,
Be there heard the Christmas an- them : To certain poor shepherds in fields where they lie,
Praise to God, the Christ has come! And bade them no longer In sorrow to stay,
Because that our Saviour was born on this day.

H128 7 Then presently after the shepherds did spy

A number of angels that stood in the sky;
1 A VIRGIN most pure as the prophets do tell , They joyfully talked and sweetly did sing,
Hath brought forth a Baby, as it bath befel, To God be all the glory, our heavenly King.
To be our Redeemer from death, hell, and sin,
Which Adam's transgression bath wrapped us in.
And therefore be merry, set sorrow aside;
Christ Jesus our Saviour was born an this tide.

2 In Bethlehem in Jewry, a city there w a s

Where Joseph and Mary together did pass,
H129 2 Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still their heavenly music floats
I WHILE shepherds watched their flocks by night , O'er all the weary world;
All seated on the ground, Above its sad and lowly plains
The angel of the Lord came down. They bend on hovering wing,
And glory shone around. And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
2 Fear not I said he; for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind : 3 But with the woes of sin and strife
Glad tidings of great joy I bring The world has suffered long;
To you and all mankind, Beneath the angel strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
3 To you, in David's town, this day And man, at war with man, hears not
Is born, of David's line, The love song which they bring :
A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord; hush the noise, ye men o: strife
And this shall be the sign : And hear the angels sing.

4 The heavenly Babe you there shall find 4 And ye, beneath life's crushing load
To human view displayed, Whose forms are bending low,
All meanly wrapped in swaddling bands Who toil along the climbing way
And in a manger laid. With painful steps and slow—
Look now I for glad and golden hour
5 Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith Come swiftly on the wing :
Appeared a shining throng rest beside the weary road,
Of angels praising God, and thus And hear the angels sing.
Addressed their joyful song
5 For lo I the days are hastening on,
6 All glory be to God on high, By prophet bards foretold,
And to the earth be peace; When with the ever-circling years
Good will henceforth from heaven Comes round the age of gold.
to men When peace shall over all the earth
Begin and never cease Its ancient splendours fling,
Amen And the whole world give back the
song
H130 Which now the angels sing,

1 IT came upon the midnight clear , H131

That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth 1 THE first Nowell the angel did say
To touch their harps of gold : Was to certain poor shepherds
Peace on the earth, good-will to men, in fields as they lay :
From heaven's all-gracious King ! In fields where they lay a-keeping their sheep
The world in solemn stillness lay On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
To hear the angels sing. Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel.
.
2 They looked up and saw a star,
Shining in the east, beyond them far, 3 As they offered gifts most rare
And to the earth it gave great light, At Thy cradle rude and bare;
And so it continued both day and night. So may we with holy joy,
Pure, and free from sin's alloy,
3 And by the light of that same star, All our costliest treasures bring,
Three wise men came from country far; Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King.
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went. 4 Holy Jesus, every day
Keep us in the narrow way:
4 This star drew nigh to the northwest, And, when earthly things are past.
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest, Bring our ransomed souls at last
And there it did both stop and stay Where they need no star to guide,
Right over the place where Jesus lay. Where no clouds Thy glory hide.

5 Then entered in those wise men three, 5 In the heavenly country bright
Full reverently upon their knee, Need they no created light;
And offered there in His presence Thou its light, its joy, its crown,
Their gold and myrrh and frank-incense. Thou its sun which goes not down;
There for ever may we sing
6 Then let us all with one accord Hallelujahs to our King. Amen.
Sing praises to our Heavenly Lord,
That hath made heaven and earth of nought, H133
And with His blood mankind hath bought.
1 FROM the eastern mountains
'
H132 Pressing on they come,
Wise men in their wisdom,
1 As with gladness men of old To His humble home,
Did the guiding star behold, Stirred by deep devotion,
As with joy they hailed its light, Halting from afar,
Leading onward, beaming bright; Ever journeying onward,
So, most gracious Lord, may we Guided by a star.
Evermore be led to Thee.
2 There their Lord and Saviour
2 As with Joyful steps they sped, Meek and lowly lay,
Saviour, to Thy lowly bed, Wondrous light that led them
There to bend the knee before Onward on their way,
Thee, whom heaven and earth adore; Ever now to lighten
So may we with willing feet Nations from afar,
Ever seek the mercy-seat. As they journey homeward
By that guiding star.

3 Thou who in a manger

Once halt lowly lain,
Who dolt now in glory
O'er all kingdoms reign,
Gather in the heathen,
Who in lands afar
Neer have seen the brightness
Of Thy guiding star.
4 Gather in the outcasts, 4 We, the sons of men, rejoice,
All who have gone astray, The Prince of Peace proclaim;
Throw Thy radiance o'er them, With heaven's host lift up, our voice.
Guide them on their way, And shout Immanuel's name :
Those who never knew Thee, Knees and hearts to Him we bow;
Those who have wandered far, Of our flesh and of our bone,
Guide them by the brightness Jesus is our Brother now,
Of Thy guiding star. And God Is all our own.

5 Onward through the darkness H135

Of the lonely night,
Shining still before them
With Thy kindly light, 1 STUPENDOUS height of heavenly l o v e ,
Guide them, Jew and Gentile, Of pitying tenderness divine;
Homeward from afar, It brought the Saviour from above,
Young and old together, It caused the springing day to shine;
By Thy guiding star. The sun of righteousness to appear,
And gild our gloomy hemisphere.
H134 2 God did In Christ Himself reveal,
To chase our darkness by His light,
1 GLORY be to God on high , Our sin and Ignorance dispel,
And peace on earth descend Direct our wandering feet aright;
God comes down, He bows the sky, And bring our souls, with pardon blest.
And shows Himself our Friend : To realms of everlasting rest.
God the invisible appears :
God, the blest, the great I AM, 3 Come then, 0 Lord, Thy light impart,
Sojourns in this vale of tears, The faith that bids our terrors cease;
And Jesus is His name. Into Thy love direct our heart,
Into Thy way of perfect peace;
2 H i m the a nge ls a ll a dor ed , And cheer the souls of death afraid,
Their Maker and their King; And guide them through the
Tidings of their humbled Lord dreadful shade.
They now to mortals bring.
Emptied of His majesty, 4 .Answer Thy mercy's whole design.
Of His dazzling glories shorn, My God incarnated for me:
Being's source begins to be, My spirit make Thy radiant shrine.
And God Himself is born! My light and full salvation be;
And through the shades of death unknown
3 See the eternal Son of God Conduct me to Thy dazzling throne.
A mortal Son of Man; Amen.
Dwelling in an earthly clod,
Whom heaven cannot contain.
Stand amazed, ye heavens, at this :
See the Lord of earth and skies;
Humbled to the dust He is,
And in a manger lies.
H136
3 Angels and archangels
May have gathered there,
THE Maker of the sun and moon ,
Cherubim and seraphim
Lo! late in time, a fairer boon,
Thronged the air;
Himself is brought to birth.
But His mother only,
In her maiden bliss,
2 How blest was all creation then,
Worshipped the Beloved
When God so gave increase:
With a kiss.
And Christ, to heal the hearts of men,
Brought righteousness and peace.
4 What can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
3 No star in all the heights of heaven
If I were a shepherd,
But burned to see Him go;
I would bring a lamb;
Yet unto earth alone was given
If I were a wise man,
His human form to know.
I would do my part;
Yet what I can I give Him-
4 His human form, by man denied,
Give my heart.
Took death for human sin :
His endless love, through faith de-scried,
Still lives the world to win. H138
5 O perfect Love, outpassing sight, 1 LOVE came down at Christmas ,
O Light beyond our ken, Love all lovely, Love Divine;
Come down through all the world to-night, Love was born at Christmas,
And heal the hearts of men ! Star and angels gave the sign.
Amen.
2 Worship we the Godhead,
H137 Love Incarnate, Love Divine:
Worship we our Jesus :
I IN the bleak mid-winter , But wherewith for sacred sign?
Frosty wind made moan.
Earth stood hard as iron, 3 Love shall be our token,
Water like a stone; Love be yours and love be mine,
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Love to God and all men,
Snow on snow, Love for plea and gift and sign.
In the bleak mid-winter,
Long ago. H139
2 Our God, heaven cannot hold Him, 1 THE race that long in darkness pined
Nor earth sustain; Has seen a glorious Light;
Heaven and earth shall flee away The people dwell in day, who dwelt
When He comes to reign : In death's surrounding night.
In the bleak Laid-winter
A stable-place sufficed 2 To hail Thy rise, Thou better Sun,
The Lord God Almighty, The gathering nations come.
Jesus Christ. Joyous as when the reapers bear
The harvest-treasures home.
3 To us a Child of Hope is born, 7 O Child I Thy silence speaks,
To us a Son is given; And bids us not refuse
Him shall the tribes of earth obey, To bear what flesh would shun,
Him all the hosts of heaven. To spurn what flesh would choose.

4 His name shall be the Prince of Peace, 8 Fill us with holy love,
For evermore adored, Heal Thou our earthly pride:
The Wonderful, the Counsellor, Born in each lowly heart,
The great and mighty Lord. For ever there abide. Amen.

5 His power increasing still shall spread, H141

His reign no end shall know :
Justice shall guard His throne above, 1 To us a child of royal birth ,
And peace abound below. Heir of the promises, is given;
The Invisible appears on earth,
H140 The Son of man, the God of heaven.

1 GOD from on high hath heard ; 2 A Saviour born, In love supreme

Let sighs and sorrows cease; He comes our fallen souls to raise;
The skies unfold, and lo! He comes His people to redeem
Descends the gift of peace. With all His plenitude of grace.

2 Hark ! on the midnight air 3 The Christ, by raptured seers foretold,

Celestial voices swell; Filled with the eternal Spirit's power,
The hosts of heaven proclaim Prophet, and Priest, and King behold,
God comes on earth to dwell. And Lord of all the worlds adore.

3 Haste with the shepherds; see 4 The Lord of hosts, the God most high,
The mystery of grace Who quits His throne on earth to live,
A manger-bed, a Child, With Joy we welcome from the sky.
Is all the eye can trace. With faith into our hearts receive.

4 Is this the Eternal Son H142

Who on the starry throne
Before the worlds begun 1 L ET earth and heaven combine ,
Was with the Father One? Angels and men agree.
To praise in songs divine
5 Yes, faith can pierce the cloud The incarnate Deity,
Which shrouds His glory now, Our God contracted to a span.
And hail Him God and Lord, Incomprehensibly made man.
To whom all creatures bow.

6 Faith sees the sapphire throne,

Where angels evermore
Adoring tremble still,
And trembling still adore.
 3 Good Christian men, rejoice
2 He laid His glory by, With heart and soul and voice!
He wrapped Him in our clay; Now ye need not fear the grave
Unmarked by human eye, Peace! Peace!
The latent Godhead lay; Jesus Christ 'was born to save;
Infant of days He here became, Calls you one, and calls you all,
And bore the mild Immanuel's name. To gain His everlasting hall.
Christ was born to save.
3 Unsearchable the love
That hath the Saviour brought; H144
The grace is far above
Or man or angel's thought I MY song is love unknown ;
Suffice for us that God, we know, My Saviour's love to me; Love to the
Our God, is manifest below. loveless shown, That they might lovely be.
O whoamI
4 He deigns in flesh to appear, That for my sake,
Widest extremes to join; My Lord should take
To bring our vileness rear, Frail flesh, and die?
And make us all divine :
And we the life of God shall know, 2 He came from His blest Throne,
For God is manifest below. Salvation to bestow :
But men made strange, and none
5 Made perfect first in love, The longed-for Christ would know.
And sanctified by grace, But O my Friend!
We shall from earth remove, My Friend indeed,
And see His glorious face : Who at my need
Then shall His love be fully showed, His life did spend.
And man shall then be lost in God.
3 Sometimes they strew His way,
H143 And His sweet praises sing; Resounding all the
day. Hosannas to their Ring.
I GOOD Christian men rejoice Then : Crucify!
With heart and soul and voice ! Is all their breath,
Give ye heed to what we say : And for His death
News! News! They thirst and cry.
Jesus Christ is born to-day.
Ox and ass before Him bow,
And He is in the manger now
Christ is born to-day.

2 Good Christian men, rejoice

With heart and soul and voice!
Now ye hear of endless bliss
Joy! Joy!
Jesus Christ was born for this.
He hath oiled the heavenly door,
And man is blest for evermore.
Christ was born for this.
4 Why, what hath my Lord done? 3 Thy foes might hate, despise, revile.
What makes this rage and spite? Thy friends unfaithful prove.
He made the lame to run, Unwearied In forgiveness still,
He gave the blind their sight. Thy heart could only love.
Sweet injuries!
Yet they at these 4 O give us hearts to love like Thee,
Themselves displease, Like Thee, O Lord, to grieve
And 'gainst Him rise. Far more for others' sins, than all
The wrongs that we receive.
5 They rise and needs will have
My dear Lord made away; 5 One with Thyself, may every eye
A murderer they save: In us, Thy brethren, see
The Prince of life they slay. The gentleness and grace that spring
Yet cheerful He From union, Lord, with Thee.
To suffering goes,
That He His foes H146
From thence might free.
1 JESUS who lived above the sky ,
6 In life, no house, no home Came down to be a man and die;
My Lord on earth might have; And In the Bible we may see
In death, no friendly tomb How very good He used to be.
But what a stranger gave.
What may I say? 2 He went about—He was so kind—
Heav'n was His home; To cure poor people who were blind;
But mine the tomb And many who were sick and lame,
Wherein He lay. He pitied them and did the same.
7 Here might I stay and sing, 3 And more than that, He told them, too,
No story so divine; The things that God would have them do;
Never was love, dear King, And was so gentle and so mild,
Never was grief like Thine. He would have listened to a child.
This is my Friend,
In whose sweet praise 4 But such a cruel death He died!
I all my days He was hung up and crucified;
Could gladly spend. And those kind hands that did such good,
They nailed them to a cross of wood.
H145
5 And so He died—and this In why
1 WHAT grace O Lord, and beauty shone He came to be a man and die;
Around Thy steps below; The Bible says He came from heaven,
What patient love was seen in all That we might have our sins forgiven.
Thy life and death of woe!

2 For ever on Thy burdened heart

A weight of sorrow hung,
Yet no ungentle, murmuring word
Escaped Thy silent tongue.
 2 We did not see Thee lifted high
H147 Amid that wild and savage crew.
Nor heard Thy meek, imploring cry
1 WHEN the Lord of Love was here , Forgive, they know not what they do!
Happy hearts to Him were dear, Yet we believe the deed was done,
Though His heart was sad', Which shook the earth and Veiled the sun.
Worn and lonely for our sake,
Yet He turned aside to make 3 We stood not by the empty tomb
All the weary glad. Where late Thy sacred body lay,
Nor sat within that upper room,
2 Meek and lowly were His ways; Nor met Thee in the open way;
From His loving, grew His praise, But we believe that angels said :
From His giving, prayer : Why seek the living with the dead?
Ail the outcasts thronged to hear;
All the sorrowful drew near 4 We did not mark the chosen few,
To enjoy His care. When Thou didst through the clouds ascend,
First lift to heaven their wondering view,
3 When He walked the fields, lie drew Then to the earth all prostrate bend;
From the flowers, and birds, and dew, Yet we believe that mortal eyes
Parables of God; Beheld that journey to the skies.
For within His heart of love
All the soul of man did move. 5 And now that Thou dost reign on high,
God had His abode. And thence Thy waiting people bless,
No ray of glory from the sky
4 Fill us, Lord, with Thy desire Doth shine upon our wilderness:
All the sinful to inspire But we believe Thy faithful word,
With the Father's life; And trust in our redeeming Lord.
Free us from the cares that press
On the heart of worldliness,
From the fret and strife.
H149
1 AND didst Thou love the race
5 Lord, be ours Thy power to keep,
that loved not Thee?
In the very heart of grief
And didst Thou take to heaven a human brow?
And in trial, love;
Dost plead with man's voice by the marvellous sea?
In our meekness to be wise,
Art Thou his kinsman now?
And through sorrow to arise
To our God above.
Amen.

H148
1 WE saw not when Thou didst come
To this poor world of sin and death,
Nor e'er beheld Thy cottage home
In that despised Nazareth;
But we believe Thy footsteps trod
Its streets and plains, Thou Son of God.
2 O God, O kinsman, loved, but not enough ! 3 The foxes found rest,
O Man, with eyes majestic after death ! And the birds their nest,
Whose feet have toiled along our Pathways In the shade of the cedar-tree;
rough, But Thy couch was the sod,
Whose lips drawn human breath ! O Thou Son of God,
In the deserts of Galilee
3 By that one likeness which is ours and Thine, O come to my heart, Lord Jesus;
By that one nature which doth hold us kin, There is room in my heart for Thee.
By that high heaven where, sin-
less, Thou dost shine, 4 Thou Gamest, O Lord.
To draw us sinners in; With the living word
That should set Thy people free;
4 By Thy last silence in the judgement hall. B u t, w i t h m o c k i n g s c or n
By long foreknowledge of the deadly tree. And with crown of thorn.
By darkness, by the wormwood and the gall. They bore Thee to Calvary :
I pray Thee visit me. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus;
Thy Cross is my only plea.
5 Come, lest this heart should, cold and cast
away, 5 When heaven's arches ring.
Die ere the Guest adored she entertain- And her choirs shall sing,
Lest eyes that never saw Thine earthly day At Thy coming to victory,
Should miss Thy heavenly reign. Let Thy voice call me home, Saying :
Yet there is room,
H150 There is room at My side for thee!
And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,
1 THOU didst leave Thy throne When Thou comest and tallest for me.
And Thy kingly crown,
When Thou Gamest to earth for me; H151
But in Bethlehem's home
Was there found no room 1 WHO is He in yonder stal .
For Thy holy nativity : At whose feet the shepherds fall?
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus;
There is room in my heart for Thee. 'Tis the Lord! O wondrous story?
2 Heaven's arches rang 'Tis the Lord, the King of Glory!
When the angels sang, At His feet we humbly fall
Proclaiming Thy royal degree; Crown Him, crown Him Lord of all.
But of lowly birth
Cam'st Thou, Lord, on earth, 2 Who is He, in yonder cot,
And in great humility : Bending to His toilsome rot?
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus;
There In room In my heart for Thee. 3 Who is He, in deep distress,
Fasting in the wilderness?

4 Who Is He that stands and weeps

At the grave where Lazarus sleeps?
5 Lo, at midnight, who is He 5 Ho! all ye heavy laden, come.
Prays in dark Gethsemane? Here's pardon, comfort. rest, and home;
6 Who is He, in Calvary's throes, Ye wanderers from a Father's face,
Asks for blessings on His foes? Return, accept His proffered grace;
7 Who is He that from the grave Ye tempted ones, there's refuge nigh
Comes to heal and help and save? Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
8 Who is He that from His throne
Rules through all the worlds alone? H153
H152 1 JESUS Thy far-extended fame
My drooping soul exults to hear;
1 WHAT means this eager anxious throng , Thy name, Thy all-restoring nacre,
Which moves with busy haste along, Is music in a sinner's ear.
These wondrous gatherings day by day?
What means this strange commotion pray? 2 Sinners of old Thou didst receive
In ac c en ts h us he d the t hr on g reply : With comfortable words and kind,
Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. Their sorrows cheer, their wants relieve,
Heal the diseased, and cure the blind.
2 Who is this Jesus? Why should He
The city move so mightily? 3 And art Thou not the Saviour still,
A passing stranger, has He skill In every place and age the same?
To move the multitude at will? Hast Thou forgot Thy gracious skill
Again the stirring tones reply Or lost the virtue of Thy name?
Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
4 Faith in Thy changeless name I have;
3 Jesus I 'tis He who once below The good, the kind physician. Thou
Man's pathway trod 'mid pain and woe; Art able now our souls to save,
And burdened ones, where'er He came, Art willing to restore them now.
Brought out their sick, and deaf, and lame :
The blind rejoiced to hear the cry Jesus of 5 Wouldst Thou the body's health restore.
Nazareth passeth by. And not regard the sin-sick soul?
The sin-sick soul Thou lov'st much more,
4 Again He comes! From place to place And surely Thou shalt make it whole.
His holy footprints we can trace,
He pauseth at our threshold—nay, 6 All my disease, my every sin,
He enters -condescends to stay; To Thee, O Jesus, I confess;
Shall we not gladly raise the cry? In pardon, Lord, my cure begin,
Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. And perfect it in holiness.
H154 4 She, too, who touched Thee In the press,
And healing virtue stole,
1 I T HEARD the voice of Jesus say Was answered ; Daughter, go in peace,
Come unto Me and rest; Thy faith hath made thee whole.
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon My breast! 5 Like her, with hopes and fears we come,
I came to Jesus as I was, To touch Thee, if we may :
Weary, and worn, and sad; O send us not despairing home,
I found in Him a resting-place, Send none unhealed away.
And He has made me glad. Amen

2 1 heard the voice of Jesus say: H156

Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one, 1 O THOU whom once they flocked to hear ,
Stoop down and drink, and live! Thy words to hear. Thy power to feel;
I came to Jesus, and I drank Suffer the sinners to draw near,
Of that life-giving stream; And graciously receive us still
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in Him. 2 They that be whole, Thyself host said,
No need of a physician have;
3 1 heard the voice of Jesus say : But I am sick, and want Thine aid,
I am this dark world's Light; And want Thine utmost power to save.
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise,
And all thy day be bright! 3 Thy power, and truth, and love divine,
I looked to Jesus, and I found The same from age to age endure;
In Him my star, my sun; A word, a gracious word of Thine,
And in that light of life I'll walk The most inveterate plague can cure.
Till travelling days are done.
4 Helpless howe'er my spirit lies,
H155 And long hath languished at the Pool,
A word of Thine shall make me rise,
1 HEAL us Immanuel hear our prayer ; And speak me in a moment whole.
We wait to feel Thy touch:
Deep-wounded souls to Thee repair; 5 Make this the acceptable hour;
And, Saviour, we are such. Come, O my soul's physician Thou!
Display Thy sanctifying power,
2 Our faith is feeble, we confess; And show me Thy salvation now.
We faintly trust Thy word : Amen.
But wilt Thou pity us the less?
Be that far from Thee, Lord.

3 Remember him who once applied

With trembling for relief;
Lord. I believe ! with tears he cried,
O help my unbelief!
H157
4 Comes faint and far Thy votes
1 JESUS calls us O'er the tumult From vales of Galilee;
Of our life's wild restless sea, Thy vision fades in ancient shades;
D a y b y d a y H i s s w e e t v o i c e soundeth, How should we follow Thee?
Saying : Christian, follow Me-
5 O heavy cross--of faith
2 As, of old apostles heard it In what we cannot see
By the Galilean lake, As once of yore Thyself restore,
Turned from home and toil and kindred, And help to follow Thee.
Leaving all for His dear sake.
6 If not as once Thou tamest
3 Jesus calls us from the worship In true humanity,
Of the van world's golden store, Come yet as Guest within the breast
From each idol that would keep us, That burns to follow Thee.
Saying : Christian, love Me more!
7 Within our heart of hearts
4 In our joys and in our sorrows, In nearest nearness be;
Days of toil and hours of ease, Set up Thy throne within Thine own;
Still lie calls, in cares and pleasures, Go, Lord—we follow Thee.
That we love Him more than these.
H159
5 Jesus calls us ! By Thy mercies
Saviour make us hear Thy call, 1 ONE who is all unfit to count
Give our hearts to Thine obedience. As scholar in Thy school,
Serve and love Thee best of ell. Thou of Thy love hast named a f r i e n d -
O kindness wonderful
H158
2 So weak am I, O gracious Lord,
1 THOU say'st Take up thy cross , So all unworthy Thee,
O man, and follow Me. That e'en the dust upon Thy feet
The night is black, the feet are slack; Outweighs me utterly.
Yet we would follow Thee.
3 Thou dwellest in unshadowed light,
2 But, O dear Lord, we cry, All sin and shame above
That we Thy face could see : That Thou shouldst bear our sin and shame,
Thy blessed face one moment's space How can I tell such love?
Then might we follow Thee.
4 Ah, did not He the heavenly throne
3 Dim tracts of time divide A little thing esteem,
Those golden days from me; And not unworthy for my sake
Thy voice cores strange o'er years of change; A mortal body deem?
How can we follow Thee?
5 When in His flesh they drove the nails,
Did He not all endure?
What name is there to fit a life
So patient and so pure?
6 So, Love itself in human form,
For love of me, He came; 2 Tell me the story slowly,
I cannot look upon His face That I may take it in
For shame, for bitter shame. That wonderful redemption.
God's remedy for sin.
7 If there is aught of worth in me, Tell me the story often,
It comes from Thee alone; For I forget so soon;
Then keep me safe, for so O Lord, The early dew of morning
Thou keepest but Thine own. Has passed away at noon.

3 Tell me the story softly,

H160 With earnest tones and grave;
Remember, I'm the sinner
1 THOU art the Way to Thee alone Whom Jesus came to save.
From sin and death we flee : Tell me the story always,
And he who would the Father seek If you would really be
Must seek Him, Lord, by Thee. In any time of trouble
A comforter to me.
2 T h o u a r t t h e T r u t h : T h y w o r d alone
True wisdom can impart; 4 Tell me the same old story
Thou only canst inform the mind, When you have cause to fear
And purify the heart. That this world's empty gluey
Is costing me too dear.
3 Thou art the Life: the rending tomb Yes, and, when that world's glory
Proclaims Thy conquering arm: Shall dawn upon my soul,
And those who put their trust in Thee Tell me the old, old story—
Nor death nor hell shall harm. Christ Jesus makes thee whole!
4 Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life :
Grant us that Way to know, H162
That Truth to keep, that Life to win,
Whose joys eternal flow. 1 THOU art my life if Thou but turn away ,
Amen My life's a thousand deaths: Thou art my way;
Without Thee, Lord, I travel not, but stray.
H161. 2 My light Thou art; without Thy glorious sight
My eyes are darkened with perpetual night :
1 TELL me the old old story My God, Thou art my way, my life, my light.
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory, 3 Thou art my way; I wander, if Thou fly :
Of Jesus and His love. T h o u a r t m y l i g h t ; I f h i d , h o w blind am I!
Tell me the story simply, T ho u ar t my l i f e ; i f Tho u w i t hdraw, I die.
As to a little child;
For I am wear and weary.
And helpless, and defiled.

Tell Me, the old old story,

Of Jesus and His love.
4 Disclose Thy sunbeams; close Thy wings and stay; 4 Among the doctors see
See, see how I am blind, and dead, and stray, The Boy so full of grace,
O Thou that art my light, my life, my way! Say, wherefore taketh He
The scholar's lowly place?
H163 That Christian boys, with reverence meet,
May sit and learn at Jesus' feet.
I DEAR Master in whose life I see
All that I would, but fail to be, 5 Christ, once Thyself a boy,
Let Thy clear light for ever shine, Our boyhood guard and guide;
To shame and guide this life of mine. Be Thou its light and joy,
And still with us abide,
2 Though what I dream and what I do That Thy dear love, so great and free,
In my weak days are always two, May draw us evermore to 'Thee.
Help me, oppressed by things undone, Amen.
O Thou, whose deeds and dreams Were one!

1 BEHOLD a little Child . Thou west fasting in the wild,
Laid in a manger bed; Forty days and forty nights
The wintry blasts blow wild Tempted, and yet undefiled :
Around His infant head.
But who is this, so lowly laid? 2 Sunbeams scorching all the day,
'Tis He by whom the worlds were made. Chilly dewdrops nightly shed,
Prowling beasts about Thy way,
2 Alas I in what poor state Stones Thy pillow, earth Thy bed.
The Son of God is seen;
Why doth the Lord so great 3 Let us Thy endurance share
Choose out a home so mean? And from earthly greed abstain;
That we may learn from pride to flee, With Thee watching unto prayer,
And follow His humility. With Thee strong to suffer pain.

3 Where Joseph plies his trade, 4 And if Satan, vexing sore,

Lo! Jesus labours too; Flesh or spirit should assail,
The hands that all things made Thou, his vanquisher before,
An earthly craft pursue, Grant we may not faint nor fail.
That weary men in Him may rest,
And faithful toil through Him be blest. 5 So shall we have peace divine;
Holier gladness ours shall be;
Round us too shall angels shine,
Such as ministered to Thee.

H166
1 IT fell upon a summer day ,
When Jesus walked in Galilee,
The mothers from a village brought
Their children to His knee.
 2 Save, Lord; we perish was their cry.
2 He took them in His arms, and laid
Oh, save us in our agony !
His hands on each remembered head;
Try word above the storm rose high
Suffer these little ones to come
Peace, be still!
To Me, He gently said.
3 The wild winds hushed, the angry deep
3 Forbid them not; unless ye bear
Sank like a little child to sleep,
The childlike heart your hearts within,
The sullen billows ceased to leap,
Unto My kingdom ye may come
At Thy will
But may not enter in.
4 So, when our life is clouded o'er,
4 Master, I fain would enter there;
And storm-winds drift us iron the, shore,
O let me follow Thee, and share
Say, lest we sink to rise no more
Thy meek and lowly heart, and be
Peace, be still!
Freed from all worldly care.

5 Of innocence, and love, and trust, H168

Of quiet work, and simple word
Of joy, and thoughtlessness of self, 1 LORD it is good for us to be
Build up my life, good Lord. High on the mountain here with Thee :
Here in an ampler, purer air,
6 All happy thoughts, and gentle ways, Above the stir of toil and care
And loving-kindness daily given. Of hearts oppressed with doubt and grief,

Make in my heart Thy heaven. Calling Thy servants all in vain
To ease them of their bitter pain.

A n d s w e e t t h i s w o r l d , w h e r e I shall find 2 Lord! It is good for us to be
God's beauty everywhere, His love, With Thee, and with Thy faithful three :
His good in all mankind. Here, where the apostle's heart of rock
Is nerved against temptation's shock;
8 Then, Father, grant this childlike heart, Here, where the son of thunder learns
That I may come to Christ, and feel The thought that breathes, the word that burns:
His hands on me in blessing laid, Here, where on eagles' wings we move
Love-giving, strong to heal. With him whose last, best word is love.
Amen.

Watch did Thine anxious servants keep,
But Thou wart wrapped in guileless sleep,
Calm and still.
 Ah, soften, melt this rock, and may Thy blood
3 Lord I it is good for us to be wash all these stains away!
Entranced, enwrapped, alone with Thee,
Watching the glistening raiment glow 3 O that I, as a little child,
Whiter than Hermon's whitest snow, May follow Thee, and never rest
T he human linea me n ts wh ich shine Till sweetly Thou hast breathed Thy mild
Irradiant with a light divine, And lowly mind into my breast!
Till we, too, change from grace to grace, Nor ever may we parted be,
Gazing on that transfigured face. Till I become one spirit with Thee.
4 Lord ! it is good for us to be 4 Still let Thy love point out my way;
Here on the holy mount with Thee, How wondrous things Thy love hath wrought!

In weakness be Thy love my power;

What means that strange expiring cry?
Sinners, He prays for you and me: 2 O Shepherd, good Shepherd,
Forgive them, Father, O forgive! Thy wounds they are deep:
They know not that by Me they live, The wolves have sore hurt Thee,
In saving Thy sheep;
2 Thou loving, all-atoning Lamb, Thy raiment all over
Thee—by Thy painful agony. With crimson is dyed;
Thy sweat of blood, Thy grief and shame, And what is this rent
Thy Cross and passion on the tree, They have made in Thy side?
Thy precious death and life—I pray :
Take all, take all my sins away! 3 Ah me! How the thorns
Have entangled Thy hair,
3 O let me kiss Thy bleeding feet, And cruelly riven
And bathe and wash thorn my tears! That forehead so fair:
The story, of Thy love repeat How feebly Thou drawest
In every drooping sinner's ears, Thy faltering breath;
That all may hear the quickening sound, And lo, on Thy face
Since I, even 1, have mercy found. Is the shadow of death.

And is It for me
This grievous affliction
Has fallen on Thee?
Ah, then let me strive,
For the love Thou hast borne,
To give Thee no longer

Learning all the worth of pain, Without a city wall,
Learning all the might that lies Where the dear Lord was crucified
In a full self-sacrifice. Who died to save us all.

Christ who vanquished pain and death; What pains He had to bear;

He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to heaven

While soldiers scoff and 'Jews deride? 2 He dies to atone

Jesus, our Lord, is crucified. Your debt He hath paid, and your
work He bath done.

A sinner believing In Jesus's name. His toils and sorrows, one by one,
He purchased the grace Which now I embrace ; The Scriptures have fulfilled.
O Father, Thou know'st He hath

But He has felt its smart;
All forms of human grief and care
Have pierced that tender heart.

None its lines of woe ran trace,
None can tell what pangs unknown 5 In perfect love He dies;
Hold Thee silent and alone; For me He dies, for me!
O all-atoning Sacrifice,
2 Silent through those three dread hours, I cling by faith to Thee
Wrestling with the evil powers;
Left alone with human sin, 6 In every time of need,
Gloom around Thee and within, Before the judgement throne,
Till the appointed time is nigh T h y w o r k , O L a m b o f G o d , I’ l l plead,
Till the Lamb of God may die. Thy merits, not my own.

Upward through the whelming cloud! As Thou work, me hest wrought;
Thou, the Father's only Son. And let my love the answer be
Thou, His own Anointed One, To grace Thy love has brought.
Thou dost ask Him—can it be: Amen.
Why hast Thou forsaken Me?

In shining letters : God is love.

The Lord of Glory dies for man!
And sweetens every bitter cup.
But lo! what sudden joys I see:
Jesus, the dead, revives again!
4 It makes the coward spirit brave,
The rising God forsakes the tomb;
And nerves the feeble arm for fight;
The tomb In vain forbids His Rise!
It takes Its terror from the grave,
Cherubic legions guard Him home,
And gilds the bed of death with light.
And shout Him welcome to the skies!
5 The balm of life. the cure of woe,
3 Break off your tears, ye saints, and tell
The measure and the pledge of love,
Now high your great Deliverer reigns;
The sinner's refuge here below,
Sing how He spoiled the hosts of hell.
The angels' theme In heaven above.
And led the monster death in chains.

I BENEATH the Cross of Jesus
I fain would take my s tand—
The shadow of a mighty rock
Within a weary land;
A home within a wilderness,
A rest upon the way,
From the burning of the noontide heat 5 PressIng onwards as we can,
And the burden of the day. Still to this our hearts must tend;
Where our earliest hopes began,
2 UPon that Cross of Jesus There our last asl5irings end.
Mine eye at times can see 6 Till amid the Hosts of Light
The very dying form of One We, in Thee redeemed, complete,
Who suffered there for me. Through Thy Cross made pure and white,
And from my stricken heart, with tears, Cast our crowns before Thy feet.
Two wonders I confess
The wonders of redeeming love,
And my own worthlessness. H199

For my abiding-place! There a precious fountain.
I ask no other sunshine than Free to all, a healing stream,
The sunshine of His face; Flows from Calvary's mountain.
Content to lot the world go by, In the Cross, in the Cross,
To know no gain nor loss— Be my glory ever;
My sinful self my only shame, Till my raptured soul shall find
My glory all—the Cross. Rest beyond the river.

5 Each moment applied Which once was bright as morn!
My weakness to hide,
Thy blood be upon me, and always abide : 2 O Lord of Life and Glory,
My Advocate prove What bliss till now was Thine!
With the Father above, I read the wondrous story,
And speak me at last to the throne of Thy love. I joy to call Thee mine.
Amen. Thy grief and Thy compassion
Were all for sinners' gain;
H201 Mine, mine was the transgression.
But Thine the deadly pain.
1 HERE is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel's veins; 3 What language shall I borrow
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,. To praise Thee, heavenly Friend,
Lose all their guilty stains. For this Thy dying sorrow.
Thy pity without end?
2 The dying tWef rejoiced to see Lord, make me Thine for ever,
That fountain in his day; Nor let me faithless prove;
And there may I, though vile as he; O let me never, never
Wash all my sins away. Abuse such dying love!
 H204
4 Be near me. Lord, When dying;
O show Thyself to me; 1 CHRIST the Lord Is risen to-day;
And, for my succour flying, Hallelujah!
Come, Lord, to set me free: Sons of men and angels say:
These eyes, new faith receiving, Hallelujah!
From Jesus shall not move; Raise your joys and triumphs high :
For he who dies believing Hallelujah!
Dies safely through Thy love. Sing, ye heavens; thou earth, reply :
Amen Hallelujah!

H203 2 Love's redeeming work is done;

Fought the fight, the battle won;
1 How shall a sinner find Vain the stone, the watch, the seal;
The Saviour of mankind? Christ hath burst the gates of hell
Canst Thou not accept my prayer?
Not bestow the grace I claim? 3 Lives again our glorious King;
Where are Thy old mercies? Where, O death, is now thy sting?
Where Once He died our souls to save :
All the powers of Jesu's name? W h e r e ' s t h y v i c t o r y , b o a s t i n g grave?

2 1 will not let Thee go 4 Boar we now where Christ hath led,
Till I Thy mercy know; Following our exalted Head :
Let me hear the welcome sound, Made like Him, like Him we rise;
Speak, if still Thou canst forgive; Ours the cross, the grave, the skies
Speak, and let the lost be found;
Speak, and let the dying live. 5 King of glory I Soul of bliss!
Everlasting life is this,
3 Thy love is all my plea, Thee to know, Thy power to prove.
Thy passion speaks for me: Thus to sing, and thus to love:
By Thy pangs and bloody sweet,
By Thy depths of grief unknown, H205
Save me, gasping at Thy feet,
Save, O save Thy ransomed one' 1 JESUS CHRIST is risen to-day,
Hallelujah!
4 W ha t h as t T hou don e for me? Our triumphant holy day,
O think on Calvary! Hallelujah!
By Thy mortal groans and sighs. Who did once upon the Cross,
By Thy precious death I pray, Hallelujah!
Hear my dying spirit's cries, Suffer to redeem our loss,
Take, O take my sins away! Hallelujah!
Amen.
2 Hymns of Praises let us sing,
Unto Christ our heavenly King,
Who endured the Cross and grave,
Sinners to redeem and save;
3 But the pain, which He endured,
Our salvation hath procured; H207
Now above the sky He's King.
Where the angels ever sing : 1 CHRIST the Lord is risen again:
Christ hath broken every chain:
4 Sing we to our God above, Hark! the angels shout for Joy,
Praise eternal as His love, Singing evermore on high :
Praise Him, all ye heavenly host, Hallelujah!
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
2 He who gave for us His life,
H206 Who for us endured the strife,
Is our Paschal Lamb to-day;
1 CHRIST Is risen! Hallelujah! We too sing for joy, and say
Risen our victorious Head. Hallelujah!
Sing His praises! Hallelujah!
Christ to risen from the dead. 3 He who bore all pain and loss
Gratefully our hearts adore Him, Comfortless upon the Cross,
As His light once more appears, Lives In glory now on high,
Rowing down In joy before Him, Pleads for us, and hears our cry
Rising up from grief and tears. Hallelujah!

Christ is risen! Hallelujah! 4 He whose path no re,ords tell,

Risen our victorious Head. Who descended Into hell,
Sing His praises! Hallelujah! Who the strong man armed hath bound,
Christ is risen from the dead. Now in highest heaven is crowned.
Hallelujah!
2 Christ Is risen! All the sadness
Of His earthly life is o'er. 5 He who slumbered In the grave
Through the open gates of gladness Is exalted now to save;
He returns to life once more; Now through Christendom it rings
Death and hell before Him bending, That the Lamb is King of kings.
He doth rise, the Victor now, Hallelujah!
Angels on His steps attending,
Glory round His wounded brow. 6 Now He bids us tell abroad
How the lost may be restored,
3 Christ is risen! Henceforth never How the penitent forgiven,
Death or bell shall us enthral, How we too may enter heaven:
We are Christ's, In Him for ever Hallelujah!
We have triumphed over all;
All the doubting and dejection 7 Thou our Paschal Lamb indeed,
Of our trembling hearts have ceased : Christ, to-day Thy people feed;
'Tis His day of resurrection, Take our sins and guilt away,
Let us rise and keep the feast. That we all may sing for aye:
Hallelujah!

H208
I THE day of resurrection!
Earth, tell it out abroad;
The passover of gladness;
The passover of God!
From death to life eternal. 5 Leave In the grave beneath
From earth unto the sky, The old things Passed away;
Our Christ hath brought us over Buried with Him In death,
With hymns; of victory. O live with Him to-day!

2 Our hearts be pure from evil, 6 We sing Thee. Lord Divine,

That we may see aright With all our hearts and powers,
The Lord in rays eternal For we are ever Thine,
Of resurrection light, And Thou art ever ours.
And, listening to His accents,
May hear, so calm and plain, H210
His own All hail! and hearing,
May raise the victor-strain. 1 CHRIST JESUS lay In death's strong hands
For our offences given;
3 Now let the heavens be joyful; But now at God's right hand He stands.
Let earth her song begin; And brings us life from heaven
T h e r o u n d w o r l d k e e p h i g h triumph, Wherefore let us joyful be,
And all that is therein; And sing to God right thankfully
Let all things seen and unseen, Loud songs of Hallelujah!
Their notes of gladness blend: Hallelujah!
For Christ the Lord hath risen,
Our joy that hath no end. 2 It was a strange and dreadful strife,
When Life and Death contended:
H209 The victory remained with Life,
The reign of Death was ended:
I ON wings of living light. Stript of power, no more he reigns;
At earliest dawn of day, A n emp t y fo r m a lo ne r ema ins ;
Came down the angel bright. His sting Is lost for ever.
And rolled the stone away. Hallelujah!

Y o u r v o i c e s r a i s e w i t h o n e accord, 3 So let us keep the festival

To bless and praise your risen Lord. Whereto the Lord invites us;
Christ is Himself the Joy of all,
2 The keepers, watching near, The Sun that warms and lights us;
At that dread sight and sound By His grace He doth impart
Fell down with sudden fear Eter na l suns hine to th e he ar t;
Like dead men to the ground. The night of sin is ended.
Hallelujah!
3 Then rose from death's dark gloom,
Unseen by mortal eye, 4 Then let us feast this Easter day
Triumphant o'er the tomb, On the true Bread of heaven.
The Lord of earth and sky! The word of grace hath purged away
The old and wicked leaven,
4 Ye children of the light, Christ alone our souls will feed,
Arise with Him, arise! He is our meat and drink indeed.
See how the Daystar bright Faith lives upon no other.
Is burning In the skies! Hallelujah!

All good gifts returned with her returning King;
Bloom In every meadow, leaves on every bough, ,
Speak His sorrows ended, hail His triumph now.
Make us more than conquerors,

through Thy deathless love:
But Christ their legions hath dispersed;
Bring us safe through Jordan to

In Christ we wake and rise;
And the sad tears death makes us weep,

Live and reign with Him in heaven.

And bow with rapture down to see Guards securing,
The place where Jesus lay. Watch His earthly prison:
Seals are shattered,
2 T h u s l o w t h e L o r d o f L i f e w a s brought, Guards are scattered;
Such wonders love can do; Christ hath risen!
Thus cold in death that bosom lay,
Which throbbed and bled for you. 5 No longer must the mourners weep,
Nor call departed Christian dead;
3 But raise your eyes and tune your songs; For death is hallowed into sleep,
The Saviour lives again: And every grave becomes a bed.
Not all the bolts and bars of death
The Conqueror could detain. 6 Now once more
Eden's door
4 High o'er the angelic bands He rears Open stands to mortal eyes;
His once dishonoured head; For Christ hath risen, and man shall rise!
And through unnumbered years
He reigns, 7 Now at last,
Who dwelt among the dead. Old things past,
Hope, and joy, and peace begin;
5 WIth joy like His shall every saint For Christ hath won, and man shall win!
His vacant tomb survey:
Then rise with his ascending Lord 8 It is not exile, rest on high;
To realms of endless day. It Is not sadness, peace from strife;
_K
To fall asleep is not to die;
H218 To dwell with Christ Is better life.

Our hosts have dared and passed the sea; We may safely go:
And Pharaoh's warriors strew the shore, Where our Chief precedes us,
And Israel's ransomed tribes are free. We may face the foe.
10 His right arm is O'er us,
2 Lift up, lift up your voices now! He our Guide will be:
The whole wide world rejoices now! Christ hath gone before us;
Christians, follow ye!

But He shall tread them down.
And bring His kingdom In: 4 See! He lifts His hands above;
See! He shows the prints of love;

Adorned with His passion's scars,
Which in heaven's sight He did present
More glorious than the glittering stars.

And angels chant the solemn lay : With the trump of jubilee?
Lift up Your heads, Ye heavenly gates; Lord of battles, God of armies,
Ye everlasting doors, give way; Hallelujah- He has gained the victory;
He who on the Cross did suffer,
3 Loose all your bars of massy light, He who from the grave arose,
And wide unfold the ethereal scene : He has vanquished sin and Satan,
He claims these mansions as His right; He by death has spoiled His foes.
Receive the King of Glory in!

The world, sin, death, and hell o'er-threw; Jesus reigns, adored by angels;
And Jesus In the Conqueror's name. Man with God Is on the throne:
Hallelujah. Mighty Lord, in Thine ascension
We by faith behold our own.

And angels chant the solemn lay: 4 Glory be to God the Father;

On that meek head of Thine,
While as a penitent I stand,

On Thee for help rely; The burden Thou didst bear

But meets the ear divine;

And ever yearns with love. I MY faith looks up to Thee,

He knows what sore temptations mean, Take all my guilt away;
For He hath felt the same. let me from this day

Poured out His 'cries and tears: 2 May Thy rich grace impart
And, though exalted, feels afresh Strength to my fainting heart,
What every member bears. My zeal inspire:
As Thou hast died for me,

But raise it to a flame; Pure, warm, and changeless be.
The bruised reed He never breaks, A living fire.
Nor scorns the meanest name.

His mercy and His power: Be Thou my guide;
We shall obtain delivering grace Bid darkness turn to day.
In the distressing hour. Wipe sorrow's tears away.
Nor let me ever stray
H237 From Thee aside.

To bring in prayer to Thee; When death's cold, sullen stream
Nor is there any care too slight Shall o'er me roll,
To wake Thy sympathy. Blest Saviour, then, in love,
Fear and distrust remove;

To find their pardon and their joy in Him.
2 Lord Jesus, think on me,
With care and woe opprest; 4 O Intercessor, who art ever living
Let me Thy loving servant be, To plead for dying souls that they may live,
And taste Thy promised rest. Teach us to know our sin which needs forgiving,
Teach us to know the love which can forgive,

Amid the battle's strife;
In all my pain and misery H241
Be Thou my health and life.

Nor let me go astray; Our living sacrifice t o T h e e w e render,
Through darkness and perplexity Who sharest all our sorrows, all our mirth.
Point Thou the heavenly way.
2 O feet so strong to climb the path of duty,
5 Lord Jesus, think on me, O lips divine that taught the words of truth,
When flows the tempest high Kind eyes that marked the lilies in their beauty,
When on cloth rush the enemy. And heart that kindled at the zeal of youth.
O Saviour, be Thou nigh.

That, when the flood is past, O Lord of joy and hope and consolation,

Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave; Whom still I hold, but cannot see!
Weep o'er the erring one, lift up the fallen, My company before is gone,
Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save. And I am left alone with Thee;
Rescue the perishing, care for the dying; With Thee all night I mean to stay,
Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save. And wrestle till the break of day.

2 Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting, 2 I need not tell Thee who I am,
Waiting the penitent child to receive. My misery and sin declare;

Tell the poor wanderer a Saviour has died.

Thy new, unutterable name?
Tell rue, I still beseech Thee, tell;
To know it now resolved I am :

Through faith I see Thee face to face, 1 COME O Thou Traveller unknown,
I see Thee face to face, and live! Whom still I hold, but cannot see!
I n v a i n I h a v e n o t w e p t a n d strove : My company before is gone,
Thy nature and Thy name is Love. And I am left alone with Thee;
With Thee all night I mean to stay,
9 I know Thee, Saviour, who Thou art, And wrestle till the break of day.
J e s u s , t h e f e e b l e s i n n e r ' s Friend;
N o r w i l t T h o u w i t h t h e n i g h t depart, 2 In vain Thou strugglest to get free;
But stay and love me to the end; I never will unloose my hold!
Thy mercies never shah remove : Art Thou the Man that died for me?
Thy nature and Thy name is Love. The secret of Thy love unfold :
Wrestling, I will not let Thee go,
10 The Sun of Righteousness on me Till I Thy name, Thy nature know.
Hath risen with healing in His wings;
Withered my nature’s strength, from Thee 3 Yield to me now; for I am weak.
My soul its life and succour brings; But confident in self-despair,
Speak to my heart, in blessings speak,
Be conquered by my instant prayer;
Speak, or Thou never hence shalt move,
And tell me if Thy name is Love.
4 'Tis Love! 'tis Love! Thou diedst for me! H342
I hear Thy whisper in my heart; 1 COME let us to the Lord our God
The morning breaks, the shadows flee, With contrite hearts return-
Pure, universal Love Thou art: Our God is gracious, nor will leave
To me, to all, Thy mercies move : The desolate to mourn.
Thy nature and Thy name is Love.
2 His voice commands the tempest forth,
H341 And stills the stormy wave;
And though His arm be strong to smite,
'Tis also strong to save.
1 WHEN shall Thy love constrain ,
And force me to Thy breast?
3 Long hath the night of sorrow reigned;
When shall my soul return again
The dawn shall bring us light;
To her eternal rest?
God shall appear, and we shall rise
With gladness in His sight.
2 Thy condescending grace
To me did freely move;
4 Our hearts, if God we seek to know,
It calls me still to seek Thy face,
Shall know Him and rejoice;
And stoops to ask my love.
His coming like the morn shall be,
Like morning songs His voice.
3 Lord, at Thy feet I fall!
I long to be set free;
5 As dew upon the tender herb,
I fain would now obey the call,
Diffusing fragrance round;
And give up all for Thee.
As showers that usher in the spring,
And cheer the thirsty ground.
4 To rescue me from Woe.
Thou didst with all things part;
6 So shall His presence bless our souls,
Didst lead a suffering life below,
And shed a joyful light;
To gain my worthless heart.
That hallowed morn shall chase away
The sorrows of the night.
5 My worthless heart to gain,
The God of all that breathe
Was found in fashion as a man, H343
And died a cursed death.
1 WHEREWITH O God shall I draw near
6 And can I yet delay And bow myself before Thy face?
My little all to give? How in Thy purer eyes appear?
To tear my soul from earth away. What I bring to gain Thy grace?
For Jesus to receive?

7 Nay, but I yield, I yield I

I can hold out no more,
I sink, by dying love compelled,
And own Thee conqueror.
2 Whoe'er to Thee themselves approve 2 Pity, and heal my sin-sick soul;
Must take the path Thy Word hath showed, 'Tis Thou alone canst make me whole;
Justice pursue, and mercy love, Fall'n, till in me Thine image shine,
And humbly walk by faith with God. And cursed I am, till Thou art mine.

3 But though my life henceforth be Thine, 3 At last I own it cannot be

Present for past can ne'er atone: That I should fit myself for Thee :
Though I to Thee the whole resign, Here then to Thee I all resign;
I only give Thee back Thine own. Thine is the work, and only Thine.

4 What have I then wherein to trust? 4 The mansion for Thyself prepare,
I nothing have, I nothing am; Dispose my heart by entering there;
Excluded is my every boast, 'Tis this alone can make me clean,
My glory swallowed up in shame. 'Tis this alone can cast out sin.

5 Guilty I stand before Thy face, H345

On me I feel Thy wrath abide;
'Tis just the sentence should take place: 1 DRAWN to the Cross which Thou hast blessed
'Tis just—but O Thy Son hath died ! With healing gifts for souls distressed,
To find in Thee my life, my rest :
6 Jesus, the Lamb of God, hath bled. Christ crucified, I come!
He bore our sins upon the tree;
Beneath our curse He bowed His head; 2 Stained with the sins which I have wrought
'Tis finished! He hath died for me! I n w o r d a n d d e e d a n d s e c r e t thought.
For pardon which Thy blood hath bought:
7 See where before the throne He stands, Christ crucified, I come!
And pours the all-prevailing prayer,
Points to His side, and lifts His hands, 3 Weary of selfishness and pride,
And shows that I am graven there. False pleasures gone, vain hopes denied,
Deep in Thy wounds my shame to hide :
8 He ever lives for me to pray; Christ crucified, I come !
He prays that I with Him may reign :
Amen to what my Lord cloth say ! 4 Thou knowest all my griefs and fears,
Jesus, Thou canst not pray in vain. Thy grace abused, my misspent years-,
Yet now to Thee, for cleansing tears :
H3 4 4 Christ crucified, I come!
1 Jesus the s inn er's Fr ie nd to Th ee
Lost and undone, for aid I flee,
Weary of earth, myself, and sin;
Open Thine arms, and take me in!
5 I would not, if I could, conceal That I may dread Thy gracious power,
The ills which only Thou canal heal, And never dare to offend Thee more.
So to the Cross, where sinners kneel: Amen.
Christ Crucified, I come!
H347
6 Wash me, and take away each stain,
Let nothing of my sin remain; 1 COME O Thou all-victorious Lord,
For cleansing, though it be through pain : Thy power to us make known:
Christ crucified, I come! Strike with the hammer of Thy word.
And break these hearts of stone.
7 To be what Thou wouldst have me be.
Accepted, sanctified in Thee, 2 O that we all might now begin
T h r o u g h w h a t T h y g r a c e s h a l l work in me : Our foolishness to mourn,
Christ crucified, I come! And turn at once from every sin,
And to our Saviour turn!
H346
3 Give us ourselves and Thee to know,
1 O JESUS full of truth and grace , In this our gracious day;
More full of grace than I of sin, Repentance unto life bestow,
Yet once again I seek Thy face; And take our sins away.
Open Thine arms, and take me in,
And freely my backslidings heal. 4 Conclude us first in unbelief,
And love the faithless sinner still. And freely then release;
Pill every soul with sacred grief,
2 Thou know'st the way to bring me back. And then with sacred Peace.
My fallen spirit to restore
O for Thy truth and mercy's sake. 5 Impoverish, Lord, and then relieve,
Forgive, and bid me sin no more; And then enrich the poor;
The ruins of my soul repair. The knowledge of our sickness give,
A n d mak e m y he ar t a h ouse o f prayer. The knowledge of our cure.

3 The stone to flesh - again convert, 6 That blessed sense of guilt impart,
The veil of sin again remove; And then remove the load;
Sprinkle Thy blood upon my heart. Trouble, and wash the troubled heart
And melt it by Thy dying love; In the atoning blood.
This rebel heart by love subdue,
And make it soft, and make it new. 7 Our desperate state through sin declare,
And speak our sins forgiven;
4 Ah! give me, Lord. the tender heart By perfect holiness prepare,
That trembles at the approach of sin; And take us up to heaven.
A godly fear of sin impart. Amen.
Implant, and root it deep within,
 2 Thou halt pronounced the mourners blest:
H348 And lo, for Thee I ever mourn :
I cannot: No! I will not rest,
1 SAVIOUR Prince of Israel's race, Till Thou, my only rest, return;
See me from Thy lofty throne; Till Thou. the Prince of Peace. appear,
Give the sweet relenting grace, And I receive the Comforter.
Soften this obdurate stone;
Stone to flesh, O God, convert; 3 Where is the blessedness bestowed
Cast a look, and break my heart. On all that hunger after Thee?
I hunger now, I thirst for God;
2 By Thy Spirit, Lord, reprove, See the poor fainting sinner, see,
All my inmost sins reveal, And satisfy with endless peace,
Sins against Thy light and love And fill me with Thy righteousness.
Let me see, and let me feel;
Sins that crucified my God, 4 Ah, Lord I if Thou art in that sigh,
Spilt again Thy precious blood. Then hear Thyself within me pray;
Hear in my heart Thy Spirit's cry,
3 Jesu, seek Thy wandering sheep. Mark what my labouring soul would say;
Make me restless to return; Answer the deep unuttered groan,
Bid me look on Thee and weep, And show that Thou and I are one.
Bitterly as Peter mourn,
Till I say, by grace restored, 5 Shine on Thy work, disperse the gloom,
Now Thou know'st I love Thee, Lord! Light in Thy light I then shall see,
Say to my soul : Thy light is come,
4 Might I in Thy sight appear Glory divine is risen on thee,
As th e p u b l i c a n d i s tr e s s e d , Thy warfare's past, thy mourning's o'er;
Stand, not daring to draw near, Look up, for thou shalt weep no more!
Smite on my unworthy breast,
Groan the sinner's only plea
God, be merciful to me!
H350

5 O remember me for good. 1 WITH broken heart and contrite sigh ,

A trembling sinner, Lord, I cry;
Passing through the mortal vale;
Show me the atoning blood. Thy pardoning grace is rich and free :
When my strength and spirit fail; O God, be. merciful to me!
Give my gasping soul to see
Jesus crucified for me! 2 I smite upon my troubled breast.
Amen. With deep and conscious guilt oppressed;
Christ and His Cross my only plea :
O God, be merciful to me!
H349
1 JESUS if still the same Thou art ,
If all Thy promises are sure,
Set up Thy kingdom in my heart,
And make me rich, for I am poor :
To me be all Thy treasures given,
The kingdom of an inward heaven.
3 Far off I stand with tearful eyes, H352
Nor dare uplift them to the skies;
But Thou dost all my anguish see
O God, be merciful to me! 1 OPPRESSED with sin and woe,
A burdened heart I bear;
4 Nor alms, nor deeds that I have done, Opposed by many a mighty foe.
Can for a single sin atone Yet will I not despair.
To Calvary alone I flee,
O God, be merciful to me! 2 With this polluted heart,
I dare to come to Thee—
5 And when, redeemed from sin and hell, Holy and mighty as Thou art
With all the ransomed throng I dwell, For Thou wilt pardon me.
My raptured song shall ever be
God has been merciful to me! 3 I feel that I am weak,
And prone to every sin:
But Thou who giv'st to those who seek,
H351 Wilt give me strength within.
1 HEAR Thy welcome voice 4 I need not fear my foes;
That calls me. Lord, to Thee, I need not yield to care:
For cleansing in Thy precious blood I need not sink beneath my woes,
That flowed on Calvary. For Thou wilt answer prayer.
I am coming, Lord,
Coming now to Thee: 5 In my Redeemer's name,
Wash me, cleanse me, by the blood I give myself to Thee;
That flowed on Calvary. And, all unworthy as I am.
My God will welcome me.
2 Though coming weak and vile
Thou dost my strength assure;
Thou dost my vileness fully cleanse, H353
Till spotless all and pure.
1 JUST as I am without one plea
3 'Tis Jesus calls me on But that Thy blood was shed for me,
To perfect faith and love, And that Thou bidd'st me come to Thee,
To perfect hope, and peace, and trust. O Lamb of Clod, I come!
For earth and heaven above.
2 Just as I am, and waiting not
4 'Tis Jesus who confirms To rid my soul of one dark blot,
The blessed work within, To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,
By adding grace to welcomed grace, O Lamb of God, I come!
Where reigned the power of sin.
3 Just as I am, though tossed about
5 All hail, atoning blood! With many a conflict. many a doubt,
All hail, redeeming grace! Fighting and fears within, without,
All 1, ail. the gift-of Christ our Lord, O Lamb of God, I come !
Our Strength and Righteousness !
4 Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind: 4 Faithful and just art Thou,
Sight, riches, healing of the mind, Forgiving all;
Yea, all I need, in Thee to find, Loving and kind art Thou
O lamb of God. I come! When poor ones call :
Lord, let the cleansing blood.
5 Just as I am, Thou wilt receive, Blood of the Lamb of God,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve. Pass o'er my soul.
Because Thy promise I believe,
lamb of God, I come ! 5 Then all is peace and light
This soul within;
6 Just as I am—Thy love unknown Thus shall I walk with Thee,
Has broken every barrier down— The loved Unseen;
Now to be Thine, Yea. Thine alone, Leaning on Thee, my God,
Iamb rob of God, I come ! Guided along the road,
Nothing between,
7 Just as I am, of that free love
The breadth, length, depth, and height to
prove. H355
Here for a season, then above,
Lamb of God. I come ! 1 WEARY of earth and laden with my sin,
I look at heaven and long to enter in;
But there no evil thing may find a home,
H354 And yet I hear a voice that bids me : Come !
1 I NO not despairingly 2 So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand
C o m e I to T h e e ; In the pure glory of that holy land,
No, not distrustingly Before the whiteness of that throne appear?
Bend I the knee : Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near.
Bin bath gone over me.
Yet is this still my plea: 3 The while I fain would tread the heavenly way,
Jesus bath died. Evil is ever with me day by day:
Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall :
2 Ah I mine Iniquity Repent, believe; thou shalt be loosed from all !
Crimson has been,
Infinite, infinite. 4 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear,
Sin upon sin; His are the hands stretched out to draw me near,
Sin of not loving Thee. And His the blood that can for all atone,
Sin of not trusting Thee, And set me faultless there before the throne.
Infinite sin,

3 Lord. I confess to Thee

Sadly my sin:
All I am tell I Thee.
All I have been
Purge Thou my sin away.
Wash Thou my soul this day;
Lord, make me clean.
 2 In wonder lost, with trembling joy
5 ‘Twas He who found me on the deathly wild, We take the pardon of our God;
And made me heir of heaven, the Father's child, Pardon for crimes of deepest dye.
And day by day, whereby my soul may live, A pardon bought with Jesu's blood :
Gives me His grace of pardon, and will give.
3 Pardon—from an offended God !
6 O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear Pardon--for sins of deepest dye I!
The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer, Pardon—bestowed through Jesu's blood !
That in the Father's courts my glorious dress Pardon—that brings the rebel nigh !
M a y b e t h e g a r m e n t o f T h y righteousness.
4 O may this strange, this matchless grace,
7 Yea, Thou wilt answer for me, righteous This God-like miracle of love,
Lord : Fill the wide earth with grateful praise,
Thine all the merits, mine the great reward; As now it fills the choirs above !
Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden
crown;
Mine the life won, and Thine the life laid down.
H357

8 Nought can I bring Thee, Lord, for all I owe; 1 JESUS in whom the weary find
Yet let my full heart what it can bestow : Their late, but permanent repose,
Like Mary's gift, let my devotion prove. Physician of the sin-sick mind,
Forgiven greatly, how I greatly love. Relieve my wants, assuage my woes;
Amen. And let my soul on Thee be cast,
Till life's fierce tyranny be past.

H356 2 Loosed from my God, and far removed.

Long have I wandered to and fro,
1 GREAT God of wonders all Thy ways O'er earth in endless circles roved,
Display the attributes divine; Nor found whereon to rest below :
But countless acts of pardoning grace Back to my God at last I fly,
Beyond Thine other wonders shine : For O the waters still are high.
Who is a pardoning God like Thee?
Or who has grace so rich and free? 3 Selfish pursuits, and nature's maze,
The things of earth, for Thee I leave;
Put forth Thy hand, Thy hand of grace,
Into the ark of love receive.
Take this poor fluttering soul to rest,
And lodge it, Saviour, in Thy breast
 If Thou [Link] each misdeed,
4 Fill with Inviolable peace, If each should have Its rightful meed,
Stablish and keep my settled heart; L or d , w ho s h al l s ta nd b e for e Thee?
In Thee may all my wanderings cease,
F rom Th ee n o mo re ma y I depart; 2 ‘Tis through Thy love alone we gain
T h y u tmos t g ood ness ca lled to prove, The pardon of our sin;
Loved with an everlasting love. The strictest life is but In vain,
Our works can nothing win;
H358 That none should boast himself of aught,
But own in fear Thy grace hath wrought
1 DEPTH of mercy can there be What in him seemeth righteous.
Mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God His wrath forbear? 3 Wherefore my hope is in the Lord.
Me, the chief of sinners, spare? My works I count but dust,
I build not there, but on His word,
2 1 have long withstood His grace, Long And in His goodness trust.
provoked Him to His face, Up to His care myself I yield,
Would not hearken to His calls, He is my tower, my rock, my shield,
Grieved Him by a thousand falls. And for His help I tarry.

3 Whence to me this waste of love? 4 And though it linger till the night.
Ask my Advocate above! And round again till morn,
See the cause in Jesu's face, My heart shall ne'er mistrust Thy might,
Now before the throne of grace. Nor count itself forlorn.
Do thus, O ye of Israel's seed,
4 There for me the Saviour stands; Ye of the Spirit born indeed,
Shows His wounds and spreads His hands. Wait for your God's appearing.
God is love; I know, I feel;
Jesus lives, and loves me still. 5 Though great our sins and sore our wounds,
And deep and dark our fall,
5 Jesus, answer from above : His helping mercy hath no bounds,
Is not all Thy nature love? His love surpasseth all.
Wilt Thou not the wrong forget? Our trusty loving Shepherd,
Suffer me to kiss Thy feet? He Who shall at last set Israel free
6 Pity from Thine eye let fall: From all their sin and sorrow.
By a look my soul recall;
Now the stone to flesh convert, H360
Cast a look, and break my heart.
1 HAPPY the man that finds the grace.
H359 The blessing of God's chosen race,
The wisdom contlikg from above,
1 OUT of the depths I cry to Thee, The faith that sweetly works by love.
Lord God. O hear my prayer !
Incline a gracious ear to me,
And bid me not -despair :
 H361
2 Happy beyond description he
Who knows : The Saviour died for me! 1 WHERE shall my wondering soul begin ?
The gift unspeakable obtains, How shall I all to heaven aspire?
And heavenly understanding gains. A slave redeemed from death and sin,
A brand plucked from eternal fire,
3 Wisdom divine! Who tells the price How shall I equal triumphs raise,
Of wisdom's costly merchandise? Or sing my great Deliverer's praise?
Wisdom to silver we prefer,
And gold is dross compared to her. 2 O how shall I the goodness tell,
Father, which Thou to me hest showed?
4 Her hands are filled with length of days, That I, a child of wrath and hell,
True riches, and immortal praise, I should be called a child of God,
Riches of Christ, on all bestowed. Should know, should feel my sins forgiven,
And honour that descends from God. Blest with this antepast of heaven !

5 To purest joys she all invites, 3 And shall I slight my Father's love?
Chaste, holy, spiritual delights; Or basely fear His gifts to own?
Her ways are ways of pleasantness, Unmindful of His favours prove?
And all her flowery paths are peace. Shall I, the hallowed Cross to shun,
Refuse His righteousness to impart,
6 Happy the man who wisdom gains. By hiding it within my heart?
Thrice happy who his guest retains;
He owns, and shall for ever own : 4 Outcasts of men, to you I call,
Wisdom, and Christ, and Heaven are one. Harlots, and publicans, and thieves!
He spreads His arms to embrace you all;
Sinners alone His grace receives :
No need of Him the righteous have-,
He came the lost to seek and save.

5 Come, O my guilty brethren, come,

Groaning beneath your load of sin !
His bleeding heart shall make you room,
His open side shall take you in;
He calls you now, invites you home,
Come, O my guilty brethren, come !
 2 No man can truly say
H362 That Jesus is the Lord,
Unless Thou take the veil away.
1 AUTHOR of faith eternal Word , And breathe the living word;
Whose Spirit breathes the active flame; Then, only then, we feel
Faith, like its Finisher and Lord, Our interest in His blood,
To-day as yesterday the same And cry, with joy unspeakable;
Thou art my Lord, my God !
2 To Thee our humble hearts aspire,
And ask the gift unspeakable; 3 O that the world might know
Increase in us the kindled fire, The all-atoning Lamb !
In us the work of faith fulfill. Spirit of faith, descend, and show
The virtue of His name;

H3 6 4
The clouds disperse, the shadows fly;

The Invisible appears in sight,
Burdened, and sick, and faint?
And God is seen by mortal eye.
To whom should I my troubles show,
And pour out my complaint?
H363
2 My Saviour bids me come;
1 SPIRIT of faith come down , Ah I why do I delay?
Reveal the things of God; He calls the weary sinner home,
And make to us the Godhead known, And yet from Him I stay.
And witness with the blood,
‘Tis Thine the blood to apply, 3 What is It keeps me back,
And give us eyes to see From which I cannot part,
Who did for every sipper die Which will not let my Saviour take
Hath surely died for me? Possession of my heart?

4 Some cursed thing unknown

Must surely lurk within,
Some Idol, which I will not own,
Some secret bosom-sin.
5 Jesus, the hindrance show, 5 Saviour, from Thy wounded side
Which I have feared to see; I never will depart;
Yet let me now consent to know Here will I my spirit hide
What keeps me out of Thee. When I am pure in heart :
Till my place above I claim,
6 Searcher of hearts, in mine This only shall be all my plea :
Thy trying power display;
Into its darkest corners shine,
And take the veil away; H366
7 I now believe in Thee 1 JESUS Redeemer Saviour Lord,
Compassion reigns alone; The weary sinner's Friend,
According to my faith to me Come to my help, pronounce the word,
O let it, Lord, be done ! And bid my troubles end.
Amen.

And life, and liberty;
H365 Shed forth the virtue of Thy name,
And Jesus prove to me. .
1 GOD of my salvation hear ,
And help me to believe; 3 Faith to be healed Thou know'st I have,
Simply do I now draw near, For Thou that faith halt given;
Thy blessing to receive Thou canst, Thou wilt the sinner save,
Full of sin, alas! I am, And make me meet for heaven.
But to Thy wounds for refuge flee :
Friend of sinners, spotless Lamb, 4 Thou canst O'ercome this heart of mine,
Thy blood was shed for me. Thou wilt victorious prove;
For everlasting strength is Thine,
2 Standing now as newly slain, And everlasting love.
To Thee I lift mine eye;
Balm of all my grief and pain, 5 Thy powerful Spirit shall subdue
Thy grace is always nigh : Unconquerable sin,
Now as yesterday the same Cleanse this foul heart, and make it new,
Thou art, and wilt for ever be : And write Thy law within.
3 Nothing have I, Lord, to pay, 6 Bound down with twice ten thousand ties,
Nor can Thy grace procure; Yet let me hear Thy call,
Empty send me not away, My soul in confidence shall rise,
For I, Thou know'st, am poor : Shall rise and break through all.
Dust and ashes is my name,
My all is sin and misery :

4 No good word, or work, or thought

Bring I to gain Thy grace;
Pardon I accept unbought,
Thine offer I embrace,
Coming, as at first I came,
To take, and not bestow on Thee :
H367 3 Five bleeding wounds He bears,
Received on Calvary;
1 DAY after day I sought the Lord, They pour effectual prayers,
And waited patiently; They strongly speak for me :
U n t i l H e b e n t d o w n f r o m H i s throne, Forgive him, O forgive ! they cry,
And hearkened to my cry. Nor let that ransomed sinner die !

2 He drew me from the fearful pit, 4 The Father hears Him pray,
And from the miry clay; His dear Anointed One;
He placed my feet upon a rock, He cannot turn away
And led me in His way. The presence of His Son :
His Spirit answers to the blood,
3 He taught my soul a new-made song, And tells me I am born of God.
A song of holy praise;
All they who see these things, with fear 5 My God is reconciled,
Their hopes to God shall raise. His pardoning voice I hear;
He owns me for His child,
4 Most blessed is the -man whose hope I can no longer fear;
Upon the Lord relies; With confidence I now draw nigh,
Who follows not the proud, nor those And Father, Abba, Father! cry.
That-turn aside to lies.

5 O Lord, what wonders halt Thou wrought, H369

All number far above
Thy thoughts to us-ward overflow 1 THEE Jesus Thee the sinner's Friend.
With mercy, grace, and love. I follow on to apprehend,
Renew the glorious strife:
H363 Divinely confident and bold,
With faith's strong arm on Thee lay hold,
1 A RISE my soul arise . Thee, my eternal life.
Shake off thy guilty fears;
The bleeding Sacrifice 2 Prisoner of hope, to Thee I turn,
In my behalf appears : And, calmly confident, I mourn,
Before the throne my Surety stands; And pray, and weep for Thee;
My name is written on His hands. Tell me Thy love, Thy secret tell.
Thy mystic name in me reveal,
2 He ever lives above, Reveal Thyself in me.
For me to intercede,
His all redeeming love, 3 Descend, pass by me, and proclaim,
His prec i ous blood, to plead; O L o r d o f h o s t s , T h y g l o r i o u s name-
His blood atoned for all our race, The Lord, the gracious Lord,
And sprinkles now the throne of grace. Longsuffering, merciful, and kind;
The God who always bears in mind
His everlasting word.
4 Plenteous He is in truth and grace; Even then this shall be all my plea-
He wills that all the fallen race Jesus bath lived, bath died for me !
Should turn, repent, and live;
His pardoning grace for all is free; 6 Jesu, be endless praise to Thee,
Transgression, sin, iniquity, Whose boundless mercy bath for me,
He freely doth forgivet For me and all Thy hands have made,
An everlasting ransom paid.
5 Mercy He doth for thousands keep;
He goes and seeks the one lost sheep, 7 Lord, I believe, were sinners more
And brings His wanderer home; Than sands upon the ocean shore,
And every soul that sheep might be : Thou hast for all a ransom paid.
Come then, my Lord, and gather me, For all a full atonement made.
My Jesus, quickly come I Amen.
8 Ah I give to all Thy servants,
Lord. With power to speak Thy gracious word,
H370 That all who to Thy wounds will flee,
May find eternal life in Thee.
1 J ESU Thy blood and righteous- ness
My beauty are, my glorious dress; 9 Thou God of power, Thou God of love,
Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed, Let the whole world Thy mercy prove!
With joy shall I lift up my head. Now let Thy word o'er all prevail;
Now take the spoils of death and hell.
2 Bold shall I stand in Thy great day:
For who aught to my charge shall lay? 10 O let the dead now hear Thy voice,
Fully absolved through these I am, Now bid Thy banished ones rejoice,
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. Their beauty this, their glorious dress,
Jesu, Thy blood and righteousness !
3 The holy, meek, unspotted Lamb.
Who from the Father's bosom came,
Who died for me, even me, to atone. H371
Now for my Lord and God I own. 1 AND can it be that I should gain
A n i n t e r e s t i n t h e S a v i o u r ' s blood?
4 Lord, I believe Thy precious blood, Died He for me, who caused His pain?
Which at the mercy-seat of God For me, who Him to death pursued?
For ever doth for sinners plead, Amazing love ! how can it be
For me, even for my soul, was shed. That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me !
5 When from the dust of death I rise
To claim my mansion in the skies,
 H373
2 ‘Tis mystery all The Immortal dies :
Who can explore His strange design? 1 LORD I was blind I could not see
In vain the first-born seraph tries In Thy marred visage any grace;
T o s ou nd th e de p ths o f lo v e divine. But now the beauty of Thy face
'Tis mercy all I let earth adore, In radiant vision dawns on me.
Let angel minds inquire no more.
2 Lord, I was deaf ! I could not hear
3 He left His Father's throne above The thrilling music of Thy voice;
So free, so infinite His grace But now I hear Thee and rejoice,
Emptied Himself of all but love, And all Thine uttered words are dear.
And bled for Adam's helpless race.
'Tis mercy all, immense and free; 3 Lord, I was dumb ! I could not speak
For, O my God, it found out me ! T h e g r a c e a n d g l o r y o f T h y name;
But now, as touched with living flame,
4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay My lips Thine eager praises wake.
Fast bound in sin and nature's night;
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray 4 Lord, I was dead ! I could not stir
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light; My lifeless soul to come to Thee;
My chains fell off, my heart was free, B u t n o w , s i n c e T h o u h a s t quickened me,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee. I rise from sin's dark sepulchre.

5 No condemnation now I dread; 5 For Thou hest made the blind to see,
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine ! The deaf to hear, the dumb to speak,
Alive in Him, my living Head, The dead to live; and lo, I break
And clothed in righteousness divine, The chains of my captivity !
Bold I approach the eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through
Christ, my own.
H374
1 JESUS hath died and hath risen again,
H372 Pardon and peace to bestow;
Fully I trust Him; from sin's guilty stain
1 THE God of love to earth He came, Jesus saves me now.
That you might come to heaven; Jesus saves me now !
Believe, believe in Jesu's name, Jesus saves- me How !
And all sin's forgiven. Yes, Jesus saves me all the time,
Jesus saves me now !
2 Believe in Him that Ned for thee,
And, sure as He hath died,
Thy debt is paid, thy soul is free,
And thou art Justified.
2 Sin's condemnation is over and gone,
Jesus alone knoweth how; While Jesu's blood through earth and skies
Life and salvation my soul hath put on; Mercy, free, boundless mercy ! cries.
Jesus saves me now.
4 With faith I plunge me in this sea.
3 Jesus is stronger than Satan and sin, Here is my hope, my joy, my rest;
Satan to Jesus must bow, Hither, when hell assails, I flee,
Therefore I triumph without and within; I look into my Saviour's breast :
Jesus saves me now. Away, sad doubt and anxious fear !
Mercy is all that's written there.
4 Sorrow and pain may beset me about,
Nothing can darken my brow; 5 Though waves and storms go o'er my head.
B a t t l i n g i n f a i t h I c a n j o y f u l l y shout : Though strength, and health, and friends be gone,
Jesus saves me now Though joys be withered all and dead,
Though every comfort be withdrawn,
On this my steadfast soul relies-
H375 Father, Thy mercy never dies !

1 NOW I have found the ground wherein 6 Fixed oh this ground will I remain.
Sure my soul's anchor may re-main Though my heart fall and flesh decay;
The wounds of Jesus, for my sin This anchor shall my soul sustain.
Before the world's foundation slain; When earth's foundations melt away :
Whose mercy shall unshaken stay. Mercy's full power I then shall prove,
When heaven and earth are lied away. Loved with an everlasting love.

2 Father, Thine everlasting grace

Our scanty thought surpasses far,
H376
Thy heart still melts with tender-ness,
Thy arms of love still open are 1 THOU great mysterious God un-k n o w n ,
Returning sinners to receive, Whose love hath gently led me on.
That mercy they may taste and live. Even from my infant days,
Mine inmost soul expose to view.
3 O Love, Thou bottomless abyss, And tell me if I ever knew
M y s i n s a r e s w a l l o w e d u p i n Thee ! Thy justifying grace.
Covered is my unrighteousness,
Nor spot of guilt remains on me. 2 If I have only known Thy fear.
And followed with a heart sincere
Thy drawings from above,
Now, now the further grace bestow,
And let my sprinkled conscience know
Thy sweet forgiving love.
9 Short of Thy love I would not stop,
A stranger to the gospel hope, 5 His love, surpassing far
The sense of sin forgiven; The love of all beneath,
I would not, Lord, my-soul deceive, We find within our hearts, and dare
Without the inward witness live, The pointless darts of death.
That antepast of heaven.
6 Stronger than death and hell
4 If now the witness were in me, T h e m y s t i c p o w e r w e p r o ve ;
Would He not testify of Thee And conquerors of the world, we dwell
In Jesus reconciled? In heaven, who dwell in love.
And should I not with faith draw nigh,
And boldly Abba, Father I cry, 7 His Spirit to us He gave,
And know myself Thy child? And dwells in us we know;
The witness in ourselves we have,
5 Whate'er obstructs Thy pardoning love, And all its fruits we show.
Or sin or righteousness, remove,
Thy glory to display; 8 Whate'er our pardoning Lord
Mine heart of unbelief convince, Commands, we gladly do;
And now absolve me from my sins, And guided by His sacred word,
And take them all away. We all His steps pursue.

6 Father, in me reveal Thy Son, H378

And to my Inmost soul make known
How merciful Thou art : 1 ETERNAL Sun of Righteousness,
The secret of Thy love reveal, Display Thy beams divine,
And by Thine hallowing Spirit dwell And cause the glories of Thy face
For ever in my heart. Upon my heart to shine.
Amen.
2 Light in Thy light O may I see,
H377 Thy grace and mercy prove.
Revived and cheered and blessed by Thee,
1 HOW can a sinner know The God of pardoning love.
His sins on earth forgiven?
How can my gracious Saviour show 3 Lift up Thy countenance serene,
My name inscribed in heaven? And let Thy happy child
Behold, without a cloud between,
2 What we have felt and seen The Godhead reconciled.
With confidence we tell,
And publish to the sons of men 4 That all-comprising peace bestow
The signs Infallible. On me, through grace forgiven;
The joys of holiness below,
3 We who in Christ believe And then the joys of heaven.
That He for us hath died, Amen.
We all His unknown peace receive
And feel His blood applied.

4 Exults our rising soul,

Disburdened of her load,
And swells unutterably full
Of glory and of God.
H379 2 I was lost; but Jesus found me-
F o u n d t h e s h e e p t h a t w e n t astray;
1 THE people that in darkness lay, Raised me up and gently led me
In sin and error's deadly shade. Back into the narrow way.
Have seen a glorious gospel day
In Jesu's lovely face displayed. 3 I was bruised; but Jesus healed me:
Faint was I from many a fall;
2 Thou only, Lord, the work hast done, Sight was gone, and fears possessed me :
And bared Thine arm in all our sight; But He freed me from them all.
Hast made the reprobates Thine own,
And claimed the outcasts as Thy right. 4 Days of darkness still come o'er me;
Sorrow's paths I often tread :
3 Thine arm alone. almighty Lord, But the Saviour still is with me,
T o u s t h e g r e a t s a l v a t i o n brought, By His hand I'm safely led.
Thy Word, Thy all-creating Word,
That spake at first the world from nought. 5 He will keep me till the river
Rolls its waters at my feet;
4 For this the saints lift up their voice, Then He'll bear me safely over.
And ceaseless praise to Thee is given; Where the loved ones I shall meet.
For this the hosts above rejoice;
W e r a i s e t h e h a p p i n e s s o f heaven. H381
H380 1 I AM not skilled to understand
What God hath willed, what
1 I WILL sing the wondrous story God hath planned;
Of the Christ who died for me; I only know at His right hand
How He left His home in glory. Stands One who is my Saviour
For the Cross on Calvary.
Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story 2 I take God at His word and deed :
Of the Christ who died for me Christ died to save me. this I read;
S i n g i t w i t h t h e s a i n t s i n glory. And in my heart I find a need
Gathered by the crystal sea. Of Him to be my Saviour.

3 And was there then no other way

For God to take? I cannot say,
I only bless Him, day by day,
W h o s a v e d m e t h r o u g h m y Saviour.

4 That He should leave His place on high

And come for sinful man to die,
You count it strange? So do not I,
Since I have known my Saviour.
5 And O that He fulfilled may see
The travail of His soul in me, H383
And with His work contented be,
As I with my dear Saviour ! 1 BEING of beings God of love,
To Thee our hearts we raise:
6 Yea, living, dying, let me bring Thy all-sustaining power we prove,
My strength, my solace, from this spring, And gladly sing Thy praise.
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Saviour. 2 Thine, wholly Thine, we long to be;
Our sacrifice receive
Made, and preserved, and saved by Thee,
H382 To Thee ourselves we give.
1 LET Him to whom we now belong 3 Heavenward our every wish aspires;
His sovereign right assert, For all Thy mercies' store,
And take up every thankful song The sole return Thy love requires
And every loving heart. Is that we ask for more.
2 He justly claims us for His own, 4 For more we ask; we open then
Who bought us with a price; Our hearts to embrace Thy will;
The Christian lives to Christ alone, Turn, and revive us. Lord, again,
To Christ alone he dies. With all Thy fullness fill.
3 Jesus, Thine own at last receive, 5 Come, Holy Ghost, the Saviour's love
Fulfill our hearts' desire, Shed in our hearts abroad;
And let us to Thy glory live So shall we ever live, and move,
And in Thy cause expire And be with Christ in God.

With joy we render Thee H384

To all eternity. 1 MY soul through my Redeemer's care,
Amen. Saved from the second death I feel,

2 Wherefore to Him my feet shall run,

My eyes on His perfections gale,
My soul shall live for God alone.
And all within me shout His praise.

Shed in my heart abroad;

Thy yearning pity for mankind, Might now begin to glow,
Thy burning charity. Burn up the dross of base desire,
And make the mountains flow !

In me Thy mercies move : 5 O that it now from heaven might fall,
So shall the fervour of my zeal And all my sins consume !

To work, and speak, and think for Thee;
Still let me guard the holy fire, 2 Too much to Thee I cannot give;
And still stir up Thy gift in me. Too much I cannot do for Thee;
Let all Thy love, and all Thy grief.

My acts of faith and love repeat, Amen.

Around the old eternal rocks.

Who didst deign a child to be, When they hear the battle-cry,
Cradled on a mother's bosom, When they rush into the fight,
Throned upon a mother's knee : Knowing not temptation's might :
For the children Thou hast given These Thy children. Lord, defend,
We must answer unto Thee. To their zeal Thy wisdom lend.

2 Since the day the blessed mother Thee, 3 When their hearts are lifted high

Women never knew before; Lest they grow self-satisfied—
And, that we may bear it meetly, These Thy children. Lord, defend,
We must seek Thine aid the more. Teach their souls to Thee to bend.

That, in all we do or say, When the prayers that they have prayed,
Little souls our deeds may copy, Shall be fading from their hearts,

And all His promises embrace, Not a mite would I withhold.
And to His glory live. Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose.
3 My vows I will to His great name 5 Take my will, and make it Thine;
Before His people pay; It shall be no longer mine.
And all I have, and all I am, Take my heart—it is Thine own;
Upon His altar lay. It shall be Thy royal throne.

What a comfort divine, I first found in the blood of the Lamb;
What a blessing to know that my When my heart it believed,
Jesus is mine What a joy it received,
What a heaven in Jesus's name

3 Jesus all the day long

Was my Joy and my song;
O that all His salvation may see !
He hath loved me, I cried,
He hath suffered, and died.
To redeem such a rebel as me.
4 O the rapturous height
Of the holy delight 2 Divine Renewer. Thee I bless;
W h ich I f elt i n th e l i fe- gi v in g blood! I greet Thy going forth :
Of my Saviour possessed I love Thee in the loveliness
I was perfectly blessed Of Thy renewed earth.
As if filled with the fullness of God.
3 But O these wonders of Thy grace,
These nobler works of Thine.
H408 These marvels sweeter far to trace,
These new births more divine !
1 MY God the spring of all my joys,
The life of my delights, 4 This new-born glow of faith so strong,
The glory of my brightest days, This bloom of love so fair,
And comfort of my nights. This new-born ecstasy of song,
And fragrancy of prayer.
2 In darkest shades, if Thou appear,
My dawning is begun; 5 Creator Spirit, work in me
Thou art my soul's bright morning star, These wonders sweet of Thine;
And Thou my rising sun. Divine Renewer, graciously
Renew this heart of mine.
3 The opening heavens around me shine Amen.
With beams of sacred bliss,
If Jesus shows Hi mercy mine
And whispers I am His. H4 1 0
4 My soul would leave this heavy clay 1 COME ye that love the Lord ,
At that transporting Word, And let your joys be known;
Run up with joy the shining way Join in a song with sweet accord.
To see and praise my Lord. While ye surround His throne :
Let those refuse to sing
5 Fearless of hell and ghastly death, Who never knew our God;
I'd break through every foe; But servants of the heavenly King
The wings of love and arms of faith May speak their joys abroad.
W o u l d b e a r m e c o n q u e r o r through.
I 2 The God that rules on high.
That all the earth surveys,
H4 0 9 That rides upon the stormy sky,
And calms the roaring seas :
1 H E g l o r y o f t h e s p r i n g h o w sweet , This awful God is ours,
The new-born life how glad; Our Father and our love:
What joy the happy earth to greet He will send down His heavenly powers,
In new, bright raiment clad. To carry us above.

3 There we shall see His face,

And never, never sin;
There, from the rivers of His grace
Drink endless pleasures in:
Yea, and before we rise
4 By faith we see the glory
To that immortal state.
To which Thou shalt restore us;
T h e t h o u g h t s o f s u c h a m a z i n g bliss
The Cross despise
Should constant joys create.
For that high prize
Which Thou hast set before us.
4 The men of grace have found
And if Thou count us worthy,
Glory begun below;
We each, as dying Stephen.
Celestial fruit on earthly ground
Shall see Thee stand
Then let our songs abound,
At God's right hand
And every tear be dry;
To take us up to heaven.
We are marching through
I m manuel's ground,
To fairer worlds on high. H412
1 W O R S H I P a n d t h a n k s a n d blessing,
H411 And strength ascribe to Jesus!
Jesus alone
1 HEAD of Thy church triumphant,
Defends His own,
We joyfully adore Thee,
When earth and hell oppress us.
Till Thou appear,
Jesus with joy we witness
Thy members here
Almighty to deliver;
Shall sing like those in glory.
Our seals set to,
We lift our hearts and voices
That God is true,
With blest anticipation,
And reigns a King for ever.
And cry aloud,
And give to God
2 Omnipotent Redeemer,
The praise of our salvation.
Our ransomed souls adore Thee :
Our Saviour Thou,
2 The name we still acknowledge
We find it now,
That burst our bonds in sunder,
And give Thee all the glory.
And loudly sing
We sing Thine arm unshortened,
Our conquering King,
Brought through our sore temptation;
In songs of joy and wonder.
With heart and voice
In e ver y d ay's de livera nce
In Thee rejoice,
Our Jesus we discover;
The God of our salvation.
'Tis He, 'tis He
That smote the sea,
3 Thine arm hath safely brought us
And led us safely overt
A way no more expected.
Than when Thy sheep
3 While in affliction's furnace,
Passed through the deep,
And passing through the fire,
By crystal walls protected.
Thy love we praise,
Thy glory was our rearward,
Which knows our days
Thine hand our lives did cover,
And ever brings us higher.
And we, even we,
We clap our hands exulting
Have passed the sea,
In Thine almighty favour;
And marched triumphant over.
The love divine
Which made us Thine
Shall keep us Thine for ever.
4 The world and Satan's malice H414
Thou, Jesus, hast confounded;
And, by Thy grace, 1 WE thank Thee Lord for this fair earth,
With songs of praise The glittering sky, the silver sea;
Our happy souls resounded. For all their beauty, all their worth,
Accepting our deliverance, Their light and glory, come from Thee.
We triumph in Thy favour,
And for the love 2 Thanks for the flowers that clothe the ground,
Which now we prove The trees that wave their arms above,
Shall praise Thy name for ever. The hills that gird our dwellings round,
As Thou doss gird Thine own with love.
H413
3 Yet teach us still how far more fair,
1 WHEN all Thy mercies O my God, More glorious, Father, in Thy sight,
My rising soul surveys, Is one pure deed, one holy prayer,
Transported with the view, I'm lost One heart that owns Thy Spirit's might.
In wonder, love and praise.
4 So, while we gaze with thoughtful eye
2 Unnumbered comforts on my soul On all the gifts Thy Love has given,
Thy tender care bestowed, Help us in Thee to live and die,
Before my infant heart conceived By Thee to rise from earth to heaven.
F r o m w h o m t h o s e c o m f o r t s flowed. Amen.

3 Through hidden dangers, toils, and deaths, H415

It gently cleared my way;
And through the pleasing snares of vice, 1 SING praise to God who reigns above,
More to be feared than they. The God of all creation,
The God of power, the God of love,
4 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts The God of our salvation;
My daily thanks employ; With healing balm my soul He fills,
Nor is the least a thankful heart, And every faithless murmur stills :
That takes those gifts with joy. To God all praise and glory.
5 Through every period of my life
Thy goodness I'll pursue;
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.

6 Through all eternity, to Thee

A grateful song I'll raise;
But 0 eternity's too short
To utter all Thy praise !
2 What God's almighty power hath made, 3 All your questions large and deep,
His gracious mercy keepeth; All the open thoughts of youth.
By morning glow or evening shade Bring to Him and you shall reap
His watchful eye never sleepeth; All the harvest of His truth;
Within the kingdom of His might, You shall find in that great store
Lo ! all is Just and all is right : Largest love and wisest lore.
To God all praise and glory.
4 Then when comes life's wider sphere
3 The Lord is never far away, And its buster enterprise,
But, through all grief distressing, You shall find Him ever near,
An ever-present help and stay, Looking with approving eyes,
Our peace, and joy, and blessing; On all honest work and true
As with a mother's tender hand, His dear servants' hands can do.
He leads His own, His chosen band :
To God all praise and glory. H417
4 Thus, all my toilsome way along, 1 COME Thou Fount of every bless- ing:
I sing aloud Thy praises, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
That men may hear the grateful song Streams of mercy never ceasing
My voice unwearied raises; Call for songs of loudest praise.
Be Joyful in the Lord, my heart, Teach me some melodious measure
Both soul and body bear your part Sung by flaming tongues above;
To God all praise and glory. O the vast, the boundless treasure
Amen. Of my Lord's unchanging love !

H416 2 Here I raise my Ebenezer;

Hither by Thy help I'm come;
1 LIFE and light and joy are found And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
In the presence of the Lord; Safely to arrive at home.
Life with richest blessing crowned, Jesus sought me when a stranger,
L ig h t fro m m an y fo un ta ins poured; Wandering from the fold of God;
Life and light and holy joy, He, to rescue me from danger,
None can darken or destroy. Interposed His precious blood.

2 Bring to Him life's brightest hours, 3 O to grace how great a debtor

He will make them still more bright: Daily I'm constrained to be !
Give to Him your noblest powers, Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,
He will hallow all your might; Bind my wandering heart to Thee :
Come to Him with eager quest, Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
You shall hear His high behest. Prone to leave the God I love;
Take my heart, 0 take and seal it.
Seal it from Thy courts above !
Amen.
H418 3 Christ to their homes giveth His peace,
And makes their loves His own;
1 A WAKE our souls Away our f e a r s ! But ah, what tares the evil one
Let every trembling thought be gone ! Hath in His garden sown.
Awake, and run the heavenly race,
And put a cheerful courage on. 4 Sad were our lot, evil this earth.
Did not its sorrows prove
2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road, The path whereby the sheep may find
And mortal spirits tire and. faint; The fold of Jesus' love.
But they forget the mighty God
That feeds the strenght of every, saint. 5 Then shall they know, they that love Him,
How all their pain is good:
3 O mighty G od , T hy ma tch less power And death itself cannot unbind
Is ever new and ever young, Their happy brotherhood.
And firm endures, while endless years
Their everlasting circles run. H420
4 From Thee, the ever flowing spring, 1 O WHAT shall I do my Saviour to praise ,
Our -souls shall drink a fresh supply; So faithful and true, so plenteous in grace,
While such as trust their native strength So strong to deliver, so good to redeem
Shall melt away, and droop, and die. The weakest believer that hangs upon Him.

5 Swift as the eagle cuts the air, 2 How happy the man whose heart is set free,
W e ' l l m o u n t a l o f t t o T h i n e abode; The people that can be joyful in Thee;
On wings of love our souls shall fly, Their Joy is to walk in the light of Thy face,
Nor Tire along the heavenly road. And still they are talking of Jesus's grace.

H419 3 Their daily delight shall be in Thy name;

They shall as their right Thy
1 HAPPY are they they that love God , righteousness claim;
Whose hearts have Christ confect, Thy righteousness wearing, and
Who by His Cross have found their life, cleansed by Thy blood,
And 'neath His yoke their rest. Bold shall they appear in the
presence of God.
2 Glad is the praise, sweet are the songs,
When they together sing;
And strong the prayers that bow the ear
Of heaven's eternal King.
4 For Jesus, my Lord, is now my defence; H422
I trust in His word, none plucks me from thence;
Since I have found favour. He all things will do; 1 BLESSED assurance Jesus is mine :
My King and my Saviour shall make me anew. O what a foretaste of glory divine !
Heir of salvation, purchase of God;
H421 Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
This is my story, this is my song,
1 I AM so glad that our Father in heaven Praising my Saviour all the day long.
Tells of His love in the Book He has given :
Wonderful things in the Bible I see; 2 Perfect submission, perfect delight,
This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me. Visions of rapture burst on my sight;
I am so glad that Jesus loves me, Angels descending, bring from above
Jesus loves even me. Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

2 Though I forget Him, and wander away, 3 Perfect submission, all is at rest,
Still He doth love me wherever I stray; I in my Saviour am happy and blest;
Back to His dear loving arms do I flee, Watching and waiting, looking above.
When I remember that Jesus loves me. Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

3 O If there's only one song I can sing, H423

When in His beauty I see the great King,
This shall my song in eternity be, 1 I'VE found a Friend O such a Friend !
O what a wonder that Jesus loves me. He loved me ere I knew Him:
He drew me with the cords of love,
4 If one should ask of me : How can I tell? And thus He bound me to Him;
Glory to Jesus. I know very well; And round my heart still closely twine
God's Holy Spirit with mine doth agree. Those ties which nought can sever;
Constantly witnessing: For I am His, and He is mine,
Jesus loves me. For ever and for ever.

2 I' ve fou nd a Fr ien d ; O suc h a Friend !

He bled, He died to save me;
A n d no t alo ne th e g i ft o f l i fe ,
But His own self He gave me.
Nought that I have mine own I call, 5 His wondrous works and ways
I hold it for the Giver; He made by Moses known;
My heart, my strength, my life, my all But sent the world His truth and grace
Are His, and His for ever. By His beloved Son.

3 I ' v e f o u n d a F r i e n d ; O s u c h a Friend ! H425

All power to Him is given,
To guard me on my onward course 1 MY God my King ,
And bring me safe to heaven. Thy praise I sing,
Eternal glories gleam afar, My heart is all Thine own;
To nerve my faint endeavour; My highest powers,
So now to watch, to work, to war, My choicest hours,
And then to rest for ever. I yield to Thee alone.
4 I ' v e f o u n d a F r i e n d ; O s u c h a Friend, 2 My voice awake,
So kind, and true, and tender ! Thy part to take;
So wise a Counsellor and Guide, My soul the concert join;
So mighty a Defender! Till all around
From Him who loves me now so well Shall catch the sound,
What power my soul shall sever? And mix their hymns with mine.
Shall life or death? shall earth or hell?
No ! I am His for ever. 3 Bu t man is weak
Thy praise to speak;
H424 Your God ye angels, sing;
'Tis yours to see,
1 O BESS the Lord my soul ! More near than we,
Let all within me join, The glories of our King.
And aid my tongue to bless His name
Whose favours are divine. 4 His truth and grace
Fill time and space;
2 O bless the Lord, my soul ! As large His honours be.
Nor !et His mercies lie Till all that live
Forgotten in unthankfulness. Their homage give,
And without praises die. And praise my God with me.

3 'Tis He forgives thy sins, H426

'Tis He relieves thy pain, 1 YE servants of God .
'Tis He that heals thy sicknesses, Your Master proclaim,
And makes thee young again. And publish abroad
His wonderful name;
4 He fills the poor with good, The name all-victorious
He gives the sufferers rest; Of Jesus extol;
The Lord hath judgements for the proud, His kingdom is glorious,
And justice for the oppressed. And rules over all.
 14

2 God ruleth on high, 5 O make but trial of His love;

Almighty to save: Experience will decide
And still He is nigh, How blest they are, and only they,
His presence we have; Who in His truth confide.
The great congregation
His triumph shall sing, 6 Pear Him, ye saints, and you will then
Ascribing salvation Have nothing else to fear;
To Jesus our King. Make you His service your delight,
He'll make your wants His care.
3 Salvation to God, .
Who sits on the throne ! H428
Let all cry aloud,
And honour the Son : 1 I'LL praise my Maker while I've breath;
The praises of Jesus, And when my voice is lost in death,
The angels proclaim, Praise shall employ my nobler powers :
Fall down on their faces. My days of praise shall never be past,
And worship the Lamb. While fife, and thought, and being last,
Or immortality endures.
4 Then let us adore,
And give Him His right, 2 Happy the man whose hopes rely
All glory and power, On Israel's God I He made the sky,
All wisdom and might, And earth, and seas, with all their train :
All honour and blessing, His truth for ever stands secure;
With angels above, He saves the oppressed,
And thanks never-ceasing, He feeds the poor,
And infinite love. And none shall find His promise vale.

H427 3 The Lord pours eyesight on the blind;

The Lord supports the fainting mind;
1 THROUGH all the changing He sends the labouring conscience peace;
scenes of life, He helps the stranger in distress,
In trouble and in joy, The widow, and the fatherless,
The praises of my God shall still And grants the prisoner sweet release.
My heart and tongue employ.
4 I'll praise Him while He lends me breath;
2 Of His deliverance I will boast, And when my voice is lost in death,
Till all that are distressed
From my example comfort take,
And charm their griefs to rest.

3 O magnify the Lord with me,

With me exalt His name;
When in distress to Him I called,
He to my rescue came.

4 The hosts of God encamp around

The dwellings of the just;
Deliverance He affords to all
Who on His succour trust.
Praise shall employ my nobler powers : 6 The cheerful tribute will I give
My days of praise shall ne'er be past, Long as a deathless soul shall live;
While life, and thought, and being last, A work so sweet, a theme so high,
Or immortality endures. Demands and crowns eternity.

1 G OD of my life through all my days 1 JESU Thy boundless love to me
My grateful powers shall sound Thy praise; N o t h o u g h t c a n r e a c h , n o tongue declare;
My song shall wake with opening light, O knit my thankful heart to Thee,
And cheer the dark and silent night. And reign without a rival there
Thine wholly, Thine alone, I am,
2 When anxious cares would break my rest, Be Thou alone my constant flame.
And griefs would tear my throbbing breast,
Thy tuneful praises, raised on high, 2 O grant that nothing In my soul
Shall check the murmur and the sigh. May dwell but Thy pure love alone;
O may Thy love possess me whole,
3 When death o'er nature shall prevail, My Joy, my treasure, and my crown :
And all the powers of language fail, Strange flames far from my heart remove;
Joy through my swimming eyes shall break, My every act, word, thought, be love.
And mean the thanks I cannot speak.

4 But O when that last conflict's o'er,

And I am chained to earth no more,
With what glad accents shall I rise
To join the music of the skies !

5 Soon shall I learn the exalted strains

Which echo through the heavenly plains;
And emu l ate, with Joy unknown,
The glowing seraphs round the throne.
3 O Love, how cheering is Thy ray;
All pain before Thy presence flies, H432
Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away,
Where'er Thy healing beams arise :
1 HARK my soul it is the Lord ;
O Jesu, nothing may I see,
'Tis thy Saviour, hear His word;
Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee
Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee.
Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou Me?

D a u n t l e s s t o t h e h i g h p r i z e aspire,

Ho ur ly within my s ou l r enew
And, when bleeding, healed thy wound;
This holy flame, this heavenly fire;
Sought thee wandering, set thee right;
And day and night be all my care
Turned thy darkness into light.
To guard the sacred treasure there.
3 Can a woman's tender care
H431 Cease toward the child she bare?
Yes, she may forgetful be;
1 LOVE divine all loves excelling , Yet will I remember thee.
J o y o f h e a v e n , t o e a r t h c o m e down;
Fix In us Thy humble dwelling, 4 Mine is an unchanging love,
All Thy faithful mercies crown : Higher than the heights above,
Jesu, Thou art all compassion. Deeper than the depths beneath.
Pure, unbounded love Thou art; Free and faithful, strong as death.
Visit us with Thy salvation.
Enter every trembling heart. 5 Thou shalt see My glory soon,
When the work of grace is done;
2 Come, almighty to deliver Partner of My throne shalt be;
Suddenly return, and never, Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou Me?
Never more Thy temples leave :
Thee we would be always blessing, 6 Lord, it is my chief complaint
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above. That my love is weak and faint;
Pray, and praise Thee, without ceasing, Yet I love Thee, and adore;
Glory in Thy perfect love. O for grace to love Thee more !
Amen.
3 Finish then Thy new creation.
Pure and spotless let us be; H433
Let us see Thy great salvation.
Perfectly restored in Thee;
I THOU hidden love of God whose height.
Changed from glory into glory,
Whose depth unfathomed, no man knows,
Till in heaven we take our place,
I see from far Thy beauteous light,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Inly I sigh for Thy repose;
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.
My heart is pained, nor can it be
At rest, till it finds rest in Thee.
2 Thy secret voice invites me still H434
The sweetness of Thy yoke to prove;
And fain I would : but though my will 1 O LOVE divine, how sweet Thou art !
Seems fixed, yet wide my passions rove; When shall I find my willing heart
Yet hindrances strew all the way; All taken up by Thee?
I aim at Thee, yet from Thee stray. I thirst, I faint, I die to prove
The greatness of redeeming love,
3 'Tis mercy all, that Thou hest brought The love of Christ to me.
My mind to seek her peace In Thee;
Yet, while I seek but find Thee not,
No peace my wandering soul shall see : 2. Stronger His love than death or hell:
O when shall all my wanderings end, Its riches are unsearchable;
And all my steps to Thee-ward tend ! The first-born sons of light
Desire in vain its depths to see,
4 Is there a thing beneath the sun They cannot reach the mystery.
That strives with Thee my heart to share? The length, and breadth, and height.
Ah, tear it thence, and reign alone,
The Lord of every motion there ! 3 God only knows the love of God;
Then shall my heart from earth be free, O that it now were shed abroad
When it hath found repose in Thee. In this poor stony heart !
For love I sigh, for love I pine
5 O hide this self from me, that This only portion, Lord, be mine,
I No more, but Christ in me, may live I Be mine this better part !
My vile affections crucify,
Nor let one darling lust survive! 4 O that I could for ever sit
In all things nothing may I see, Like Mary at the Master's feet I
Nothing desire or seek, but Thee ! Be this my happy choice :
My only care, delight, and bliss,
6 Each moment draw from earth away My joy, my heaven on earth, be this--
My heart, that lowly waits Thy call; T o h e a r t h e B r i d e g r o o m ' s voice !
Speak to my inmost soul, and say,
I am thy love, thy God, thy All! H435
To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice,
To taste Thy love, be all my choice. 1 LOVE is the key of life and death ,
Amen. Of hidden heavenly mystery;
Of all Christ is, of all He saith,
Love is the key.

2 As three times to His saint He saith,

He saith to me, He saith to thee,
Breathing His grace-conferring breath :
Lovest thou Me?
 5 And then, when Jesus face to face I see,
3 Ah, Lord, I have such feeble faith,
When at His lofty throne I bow the knee,
Such feeble hope to comfort me

But love it is, Is strong as

In swift obedience move : Christ can fill the loving heart !
The devils know, and tremble too; Heaven and earth may fade and flee,
But Satan cannot love. First-born light in gloom decline;
But, while God and I shall be,
4 This is the grace that lives and sings, I am His, and He is mine.
When faith and hope shall cease;
‘Tis this shall strike our joyful strings
In the sweet realm of bliss. H444
5 Before we quite forsake our clay. 1 BELOVED let us love :
Or leave this dark abode, Love is of God;
The wings of love bear us away In God alone hath love
To see our gracious God. Its true abode.

2 Beloved, let us love :

H443 For they who love,
They only are His sons,
1 LOVED with everlasting love , Born from above.
Led by grace that love to know;
Spirit, breathing from above, 3 Beloved, let us love :
Thou hest taught me it is s, For love is rest,
O this full and perfect peace ! And he who loveth not.
O this transport all divine ! Abides unblest.
In a love which cannot cease
I am His, and He is mine. 4 Beloved, let us love :
In love is light,
And he who loveth not,
Dwelleth in night.

5 Beloved. let us love :

For only thus
Shall we behold that God
Who loveth us.
H445
6 Thee will I love, my joy, my crown,
1 THERE will I love my strength my tower, Thee will I love, my Lord, my God;
Thee will I love, my joy, my crown, Thee will I love, beneath Thy frown,
Thee will I love with all my power, Or smile, Thy sceptre, or Thy rod:
In all Thy works, and Thee alone; What though my flesh and heart decay?
Thee will I love, till the pure fire Thee shall I love in endless day !
Fill my whole soul with 'chaste desire.

2 Ah, why did I so late Thee know, Thee, H446

lovelier than the sons of men !
Ah, why did I no sooner go 1 MY God I love Thee—not because
To Thee, the only ease in pain ! I hope for heaven thereby,
Ashamed, I sigh, and inly mourn, Nor yet because who love Thee not
That I so late to Thee did turn. Are lost eternally.

3 In darkness willingly I strayed, 2 Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me

I sought Thee, yet from Thee I roved, Upon the Cross embrace;
Far wide my wandering thoughts were spread, For me didst bear the nails and spear,
Thy creatures more than Thee I loved; And manifold disgrace,
And now if more at length I see,
'Tis through Thy light, and comes from Thee. 3 And griefs and torments numberless,
And sweat of agony,
4 I thank Thee, untreated Sun And death itself—and all for me,
That Thy bright beams on me have shined; Who was Thine enemy.
I thank Thee, who hast overthrown
My foes, and healed my wounded mind; 4 Then why, O blessed Jesus Christ,
I thank Thee, whose enlivening voice Should I not love Thee well?
Bids my freed heart In Thee rejoice. Not for the sake of winning heaven,
Or of escaping hell;
5 Give to mine eyes refreshing tears,
Give to my heart chaste, hallowed fires, 5 Not with the hope of gaining aught:
Give to my soul, with filial fears, Not seeking a reward;
The love that all heaven's host inspires; But as Thyself hast loved me,
That air my powers, with all their might, O ever-loving Lord.
In Thy sole glory may unite.
6 E'en so I love Thee, and will love,
And in Thy praise will sing:
Because Thou art my loving God
And my eternal King.
H447
1 O LOVE who formedst me to wear 3 O Joy that seekest me through pain,
The image of Thy Godhead here; I cannot close my heart to Thee :
Who soughtest me with tender care I trace the rainbow through the rain
Through all my wanderings wild and drear : And feel the promise is not vain,
0 Love, I give myself to Thee, That morn shall tearless be.
Thine ever, only Thine to be.
4 O Cross that liftest up my head,
2 O Love, of whom is truth and light, I dare not ask to fly from Thee
The Word and Spirit, life and power, I lay in dust life's glory dead,
Whose heart was bared to them that smite, And from the ground there blossoms red
To shield us in our trial hour Life that shall endless be.

3 O Love, who thus hest bound me fast, H449

B e n e a t h t h a t g e n t l e y o k e o f Thine;
Love, who hest conquered me at last, 1 O L O R D e n l a r g e o u r s c a n t y thought
A n d r a p t a w a y t h i s h e a r t o f mine : To know the wonders Thou hest wrought;
Unloose our stammering tongues, to tell
4 0 Love, who once shalt bid me rise Thy love immense, unsearchable.
From out this dying life of ours;
O Love, who once above yon skies 2 What are our works but sin and death,
Shalt s et me in the fadeless bowers : Till Thou Thy quickening Spirit breathe;
Thou giv'st the power Thy grace to move :
H448 O w ond rous gr ace ! O b oun dless love !

1 O LOVE that wilt not let me go , 3 How can it be, Thou heavenly King,
I rest my weary soul in Thee : T ha t Tho u sh ou lds t us to glor y bring;
I give Thee back the life I owe Make slaves the partners of Thy throne,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow Decked with a never-fading crown?
May richer, fuller be.
4 Hence our hearts melt, our eyes o'erflow,
2 O Light that followest all m y way, Our words are lost; nor will we know,
I y i e l d m y f l i c k e r i n g t o r c h t o Thee : Nor will we think of aught beside,
My heart restores its borrowed ray. My Lord, my Love is crucified !
That in Thy sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
5 First-born of many brethren Thou; Is there on earth a closer bond than this :
To Thee, lo! all our souls we bow; That my Beloved's mine, and I am His?
To Thee cur hearts and hands we give :
Thine may we die, Thine may we live! 2 Thine am I by all ties;
Amen. But chiefly Thine.
That through Thy sacrifice
Thou, Lord, art mine.
H450 By Thine own cords of love, so sweetly wound
Around me, I to Thee am closely bound.
1 NOW let us see Thy beauty Lord ,
As we have seen before; 3 To Thee, Thou dying Lamb,
And by Thy beauty quicken us I all things owe;
To love Thee and adore. All that I have, and am,
And all I know.
2 'Tis easy when with simple mind All that I have is now no longer mine,
Thy loveliness we see, And I am not my own; Lord, I am Thine.
To consecrate ourselves afresh
To duty and to Thee. 4 How can 1. Lord, withhold Life's brightest hour
From Thee; or gathered gold,
3 Our every feverish mood is cooled, Or any power?
And gone is every load, Why should I keep one precious thing from Thee,
When we can lose the love of self, When Thou hast given Thine own dear self for me?
And find the love of Clod.
5 I pray Thee, Saviour, keep
4 'Tis by Thy loveliness we're won Me in Thy love,
To home and Thee again, Until death's holy sleep
And as we are Thy children true Shall me remove
We are more truly men. To that fair realm where, sin and sorrow o'er,
Thou and Thine own are 'one for evermore.
5 Lord, it is coming to ourselves Amen. .
When thus we come to Thee;
The bondage of Thy loveliness
Is perfect liberty.
H452

6 So now we come to ask again 1 WHAT shall I do my God to love ,

What Thou halt often given, My Saviour, and the world's, to praise?
The vision of that loveliness Whose tenderest compassions move.
Which is the life of heaven. To me and all the fallen race,
Whose mercy is divinely free
For all the fallen race and—me.
H451
1 I LIFT my heart to Thee ,
Saviour divine;
For Thou art all to me,
And I am Thine.
2 I long to know, and to make known, Bless my way with light divine,
The heights and depths of love divine, Let Thy glory round me shine;
The kindness Thou to me hast shown, Thou my Rock, my Refuge,
Whose every sin was counted Thine: Make me all Thine own.
My God for me resigned His breath;
He died to save m y soul from death. 4 O my Saviour, guard me,
Keep me evermore;
3 How shall I thank Thee for the grace Bless me, love me, guide me,
On me and all mankind bestowed? Till my work is o'er:
O that my every breath were praise ! May I then with glad surprise
O that my heart were filled with God ! Chant Thy praise beyond the skies;
My heart would then with love o'erflow, There with Thee, my Saviour,
And all my life Thy glory show. Dwell for evermore.

H453 H454
1 O MY Saviour hear me . 1 I WOULD commune with Thee my God;
Draw me close to Thee; E'en to Thy seat I come;
Thou hast paid my ransom. I leave my joys, I leave my sing,
Thou hast died for me: And seek in Thee my home.
Now by simple faith I claim
Pardon through Thy gracious name; 2 I stand upon the mount of Clod,
Thou my, Ark of safety, With sunlight in my soul;
Let me fly to Thee. I hear the storms in vales beneath,
I hear the thunders roll.
2 O my Saviour, bless me.
Bless me, while I pray; 3 But I am calm with Thee, my God.
Grant Thy grace to help me. Beneath these glorious skies;
Take my fear away : And to the height on which I stand,
I believe Thy promise, Lord, Nor storms nor clouds can rise.
I will trust Thy holy Word;
Thou my soul's Redeemer, 4 O this is life ! O this is Joy !
Bless me while I pray. My God to find Thee so !
Thy face to see, Thy voice to hear,
3 O my Savibur, love me, And all Thy love to know.
Make me all Thine own;
Leave me not to wander
In this world alone ; H455
1 As pants the hart for cooling streams ,
When heated in the chase,
So longs my soul, O God, for Thee,
And Thy refreshing grace.

2 For Thee, my God, the living God,

My thirsty soul doth pine;
O when shall I behold Thy face,
Thou Majesty divine !
3 G o d o f m y s t r e n g t h , h o w l o n g shall I, 2 Ah I show me that happiest place,
Like one forgotten, mourn? The place of Thy people's abode,
Forlorn, forsaken, and exposed Where saints in an ecstasy gaze,
To my oppressor's scorn. And hang on a crucified God;
Thy love for a sinner declare.
4 Why restless, why cast down, my soul? Thy passion and death on the tree;
Hope still, and thou shalt sing My spirit to Calvary bear,
The praise of Him who is thy God, T o s u f f e r a n d t r i u m p h w i t h Thee.
Thy health's eternal spring.
3 'Tis there, with the lambs of Thy flock,
There only, I covet to rest,
H456 To lie at the foot of the rock,
Or rise to be hid In Thy breast;
1 FOR ever here my rest shall be , 'Tis there I would always abide,
Close to Thy bleeding side; And never a moment depart,
This all my hope, and all my plea, Concealed in the cleft of Thy side,
For me the Saviour died. Eternally held in Thy heart.
2 My dying Saviour, and my God,
Fountain for guilt and sin, H458
Sprinkle me ever with Thy blood,
And cleanse, and keep me clean. 1 LONG did I toil and knew no earthly rest;
F a r d i d I r o v e , a n d f o u n d n o certain home:
3 Wash me, and make me thus Thine Own. A t l a s t I s o u g h t t h e m i n H i s sheltering breast,
Wash me, and mine Thou art. Who open His arms, and bids the Weary come :
Wash me, but not my feet alone, With Him I found a home, a rest divine;
My hands, my head, my heart. And I since then am His, and He is mine.

4 The atonement of Thy blood apply, 2 The good I have is from His stores supplied;
Till faith to sight improve, The ill is only what He deems the best;
Till hope in full fruition die, With Him as Friend I'm rich, with nought beside,
And all my soul be love. And poor without Him, though of all possest :
Changes may Come—I take. or I resign.
Content while I am His, while He is mine.
H457
1 THOU Shepherd of Israel and mine,
The joy and desire of my heart,
For closer communion I pine,
I long to reside where Thou art :
The pasture I languish to find
Where all, who their Shepherd obey,
Are fed, on Thy bosom reclined,
And screened from the heat of the day.
3 Whate'er may change, In Him no change is seen; 3 In the time of my distress
A glorious Sun, that wanes not, nor declines; Thou hest my succour been,
Above the clouds and storms He walks serene, In my utter helplessness
And on His people's inward darkness shines : Restraining me from sin;
All may depart—I fret not nor repine, O how swiftly didst Thou move
While I my Saviour's am, while He is mine. To save me in the trying hour !
Still protect me with Thy love,
4 While here, alas ! I know but half His love. And shield me with Thy power.
But half discern Him, and but half adore;
Bu t wh en I m ee t H im in the realms above, 4 First and last in me perform
I hope to love Him better, praise Him more, The work Thou hest begun;
And feel, and tell, amid the choir divine, Be my shelter from the storm,
How fully I am His, and He is mine. My shadow from the sun;
Weary, parched with thirst, and faint,
H459 T i l l T h o u t h e a b i d i n g S p i r i t breathe,
Every moment, Lord, I want
1 TO the haven of Thy breast, The merit of Thy death.
O Son of Man, I fly;
Be my refuge and my rest, H460
For O the storm is high !
Save me from the furious blast, I TALK with us Lord Thyself reveal ,
A covert from the tempest be; While here o'er earth we rove;
Hide me. Jesus, till o'erpast Speak to our hearts, and let us feel
The storm of sin I see. The kindling of Thy love.

2 Welcome as the Water-spring 2 With Thee conversing, we forget

To a dry, barren place, All time, and toil, and care;
O descend on me, and bring Labour is rest, and pain is sweet,
Thy sweet refreshing grace ! If Thou, my God, art here.
O'er a parched and weary land
As a great rock extends its shade, 3 Here then, my God, vouchsafe to stay,
Hide me, Saviour, with Thine hand, And bid my heart rejoice;
And screen my naked head, My bounding heart shall own Thy sway,
And echo to Thy voice.

4 Thou callest me to seek Thy face;

'Tis all I wish to seek;
To attend the whispers of Thy grace,
And hear Thee inly speak.
5 Let this my every hour employ,
2 Thou bruised and broken Bread,
Till I Thy glory see :
My life-long wants supply;
Enter into my Master's joy,
As living souls are fed,
And find my heaven in Thee.
O feed me, or I die.
Amen.
3 Thou true live-giving Vine,
H461 Let me Thy sweetness prove:
Renew my life with Thine,
1 O FOR a closer walk With God Refresh my soul with love.
A calm and heavenly frame,
A light to shine upon the road 4 Rough paths my feet have trod,
That leads me to the Lamb. Since first their course began;
Feed me, Thou Bread of God;
2 Where is the blessedness I knew Help me, Thou Son of Man
When first I saw the Lord?
Where is that soul-refreshing view 5 For still the desert lies
Of Jesus and His word? My thirsting soul before;
O living waters rise
3 W h a t p e a c e f u l h o u r s I o n c e enjoyed! Within me evermore. Amen.
How sweet their memory still
But they have left an aching void H460
The world can never fill.
1 O JESUS CHRIST grow Thou in me,
3 W h a t p e a c e f u l h o u r s I o n c e enjoyed!
And all things else recede :
How sweet their memory still !
My heart be daily nearer Thee
But the have left an aching void
From sin be daily freed.
The world can never fill.
2 Each day let Thy supporting might
4 Return, O holy Dove ! return,
My weakness still embrace;
Sweet messenger of rest !
My darkness vanish in Thy light,
I hate the nine that made Thee mourn
Thy life my death efface.
And drove Thee from my breast.
3 In Thy bright beams which on me fall,
5 The dearest idol I have known,
Fade every evil thought;
Whate'er that idol be,
That I am nothing, Thou art all,
H e l p m e t o t e a r i t f r o m T h y throne,
I would be daily taught.
And worship only Thee.
4 More of Thy glory let me see,
6 So shall my walk be close with God,
Thou Holy, Wise, and True !
Calm and serene my frame;
I would Thy living image be,
So purer light shall mark the road
In joy and sorrow too.
That leads me to the Lamb.
5 Fill me with gladness from above,
H462 Hold me by strength divine !
Lord, let the glow of Thy great love
! I HUNGER and I thirst ; Through my whole being shine.
Jesus, my manna be :
Ye living waters, burst
Out of the rock for me.
6 Make this poor self grow less and less, 2 From the world of sin, and noise.
Be Thou my life and aim; And hurry I withdraw;
O mak e me d ai l y , thr ou gh Th y grace, For the small and inward voice
More meet to bear Thy name ! I wait with humble awe;
Amen. Silent am I now and still,
Dare not in Thy presence move;
1 JESUS, the all-restoring Word, To my waiting soul reveal
My fallen spirit's hope, The secret of Thy love.
After Thy lovely likeness, Lord,
Ah, when shall I wake up? 3 Thou didst undertake for me.
For me to death west sold;
2 Thou, 0 my God. Thou only art Wisdom in a mystery
The Life, the Truth, the Way; Of bleeding love unfold;
Q u i c k e n m y s o u l , i n s tr u c t m y heart, Teach the lesson of Thy Cross,
My sinking footsteps stay. Let me die with Thee to reign;
All things let me count but loss,
3 Of all Thou hast in earth below, So I may Thee regain.
In heaven above, to give.
Give me Thy love alone to know, 4 Show me, as my soul can bear,
In Thee to walk and live. The depth of inbred sin;
All the unbelief declare,
4 Fill me with all the life of love; The pride that lurks within;
In mystic union join T a k e m e , w h o m T h y s e l f h a l t bought,
Me to Thyself, and let me prove Bring into captivity
The fellowship divine. Every high aspiring thought
That would not stoop to Thee.
5 Open the intercourse between
My longing soul and Thee, 5 Lord, my time is in Thy hand,
Never to be broke off again My soul to Thee convert;
To all eternity. Thou canst make me understand,
Amen. Though I am slow of heart;
Thine in whom I live and move,
H465 Thine the work, the praise is Thine;
Thou art wisdom, power, and love,
1 OPEN Lord my Inward ear , And all Thou art is mine.
And bid my heart rejoice;
Bid my quiet spirit hear H466
Thy comfortable voice;
Never in the whirlwind found, 1 MY soul there is a country
Or where earthquakes rock the place. Afar beyond the stars,
Still and silent is the sound, Where stands a winged sentry
The whisper of Thy grace. All skilful in the wars.

2 There, above noise, and darner,

Sweet peace sits, crowned with smiles,
And One born in a manger
Commands the beauteous files.
 1

2 Though, like the wanderer.

3 He is thy gracious friend, The sun gone down,
And—O my soul, awake ! Darkness be over me,
Did in pure love descend. My rest a stone,
To die here for thy sake. Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
4 If thou canst get but thither, Nearer to Thee
There grows the flower of peace.
The rose that cannot wither, 3 There let the way appear
Thy fortress, and thy ease. Steps unto heaven;
All that Thou send'st to me
5 Leave then thy foolish ranges; In mercy given;
For none can thee secure. Angels to beckon me
But One, who never changes, Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Thy God, thy Life. thy Cure. Nearer to Thee !

H467 4 Then, with my waking thoughts

Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
1 MY spirit longs for Thee
Bethel I'll raise;
Within my troubled breast,
So by my woes to be
Unworthy though I be
Nearer, my God, to Thee.
Of so divine a guest.
Nearer to Thee !
2 Of so divine a guest
5 Or if on joyful wing
Unworthy though I be.
Cleaving the sky,
Yet has my heart no rest
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Unless it come from Thee.
Upwards I fly,
Still all my song shall be,
3 Unless it come from Thee.
Nearer, my God, to Thee.
In vain I look around;
Nearer to Thee !
In all that I can see
No rest is to be found.
H469
4 No rest is to be found
But in Thy blessed love; HAT mystic Word of Thine, O sovereign Lord,
O let my wish be crowned, Is all too pure, too high, too deep for me;
And send it from above ! Weary of striving, and with longing faint.
Amen. I breathe it back again IA prayer to Thee.

H468 2 Abide in me, I pray, and I in Thee;

From this good hour O leave me nevermore !
1 NEARER my God to Thee , Then shall the discord cease, the wound be healed,
Nearer to Thee ! The life-long bleeding of the soul be O'er.
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee !
3 Abide in me; o'ershadow by Thy love 3 With Thee, amid the crowd
Each half-formed purpose and dark thought of sin; That throngs the busy mart;
Quench, ere it rise, each selfish, low desire; To hear Thy voice 'mid clamour loud,
Arid keep my soul as Thine, calm and divine. Speak softly to my heart.

4 As some rare perfume in a vase of clay 4 With Thee, when day is done,
Pervades it with a fragrance not its own, And evening calms the mind;
S o , w h e n T h o u d w e l l e s t i n a mortal soul, The setting, as the rising sun,
All heaven's own sweetness With Thee my heart would find.

When I have heard Thy voice and felt Thy power : The setting, as the rising sun,

Owned the Divine enchantment of the hour.

Abide in me, and they shall ever be; By day, by night, in life, in death,

M y w h o l e d e s i r e o n T h e e , O Lord;
And more I joy to gain Thy grace,
Than all earth's treasures can afford.
4 More dear than life itself, Thy love
My heart and tongue shall still employ: 2 b I seek no more to alter things, or mend,
And to declare Thy praise will prove Before the coming of so great a Friend :
My peace, my glory, and my joy. All were at best unseemly; and 'twere ill,
Beyond all else, to keep Thee wait- ing still.

My hap p y life shall glide away: 3 Then, as Thou art, all holiness and bliss,
T h e p r a i s e t h a t t o T h y n a m e belongs Come in, and see my chamber as it is;
Hourly with lifted hands I'll pay. I bid Thee welcome boldly, in the name
Of Thy great glory and my want and shame.
6 Thy name, 0 God, upon my bed
Dwells on my lips, and fires my thought: 4 Come, not to find, but make, this troubled heart
With trembling awe, in mid-night shade, A dwelling worthy of Thee as Thou art;
I muse on all Thy hands have wrought. To chase the gloom, the terror, and the sin,
Come, all Thyself, yea come, Lord Jesus, in !
7 In all I do I feel Thine aid; Amen.
Therefore Thy greatness will I sing,
O God, who bidd'st my heart be glad H473

1 MY heart is resting O my God ,
8 My soul draws nigh and cleaves to Thee : I will give thanks and sing :
Then let or earth or hell assail, My heart is at the secret source
Thy mighty hand shall set me free; Of every precious thing.
For whom Thou sav'st, he ne'er shall fail. Now the frail vessel Thou halt made
No hand but Thine shall fill;
H472 For the waters of the earth have failed,
And I am thirsty still.

stands open now; 2 I thirst for springs of heavenly life,
I knew Thy voice; Lord Jesus, it w a s T h o u . And here all day they rise;
The sun has set long since; the storms begin : I seek the treasure of Thy love,
'Tis time for Thee, my Saviour; O come in I! And close at hand it lies;
And a new song is in my mouth,
To long-loved music set—
Glory to Thee for all the grace
I have not tasted yet;
8 Glory to Thee for strength withheld,
For want and weakness known, 4 Still, still with Thee ! As to each newborn morning
And the fear that sends me to Thy breast A fresh and solemn splendour still is given;
For what is most my own. So does this blessed consciousness, awaking,
I have a heritage of joy, Breathe each day nearness unto Thee and heaven.
That yet I must not see;
But the hand that bled to make it mine 5 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil to slumber,
Is keeping it for me. Its closing eye looks up to Thee in prayer;
S w e e t t h e r e p o s e b e n e a t h T h y wings o'ershading,

My heart is in Thy care;
Resounding everywhere. 6 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning,
Thou art my portion! saith my soul, When the soul waketh, and life's shadows flee;
Ten thousand voices say, 0 In that hour, fairer than daylight dawning,
And the music of their glad Amen Shall rise the glorious thought
Will never die away. —I am with Thee !

Alone with Thee 1n breathless adoration,
In the calm dew and freshness of the morn.

3 As in the dawning, o'er the waveless ocean,

The image of the morning star doth rest;
So in this stillness, Thou beholdest only
Thine image in the waters of my breast.

But take entire possession;
Stay Thou near by :
To make an end of sin,
Temptations lose their power
To finish the transgression,
When Thou art nigh.

And never let me go !
Exposed to no temptation
That may our souls o'erpower,

Be Thou our strong salvation
In sore temptation's hour;
Through every fiery hour.
Save me with Thine outstretched hand,
And show forth all Thy power;

O be mindful of Thy word,
Within the verge of sin;
Thy all-sufficient grace bestow :
Or if the snare we enter,

And never let me go !
And if Thy wisdom try us,
Till pain and woe are past,

Almighty Love, stand by us,
And fix it in my heart,
And save from first to last.
That I may from evil near
With timely care depart;

Sin be more than bell abhorred;
In thought, and word, and deed;
Till Thou destroy the tyrant foe,
From sin in its beginning

From Thee, my Saviour, stray;
Deliverance in Thy name.
Thou art my Support and Rest,
My true and living Way;

My exceeding great Reward,

In heaven above and earth below :
Toe perfect satisfaction

1 JESUS my Saviour Brother Friend , 1 FAINTING soul be bold be strong ,
On whom I cast my every care, Wait the leisure of thy Lord;
On whom for all things I depend, Though it seem to tarry long,
Inspire, and then accept, my prayer. True and faithful is His word
On His word my soul I cast
2 If I have tasted of Thy grace, He cannot Himself deny;
The grace that sure salvation brings; Surely it shall speak at last;
If with me now Thy Spirit stays, It shall speak, and shall not lie
And hovering hides me in His wings :
2 Every one that seeks shall find,
3 Still let Him with my weakness stay, Every one that asks shall have
Nor for a moment's space depart, Christ, the Saviour of mankind.
Evil and danger turn away, Willing, able, all to save;
And keep till He renews my heart. I shall His salvation see,
I in faith on Jesus call,
4 When to the right or left I stray, I from sin shall be set free.
His voice behind me may I hear : Perfectly set free from all.
Return, and walk in Christ thy way;
Fly back to Christ, for sin is near. 3 Lord, my time is in Thine hand,
Weak and helpless as I am,
5 His sacred unction from above Surely Thou canst make me stand:
B e s t i l l m y C o m f o r t e r a n d Guide; I believe in Jesu's name :
Till all the hardness He remove, Saviour in temptation Thou;
And In my loving heart reside. Thou hast saved me heretofore,
Thou from sin dolt save me now.
6 Jesus, I fain would walk in Thee. Thou shalt save me evermore.
F r o m n a t u r e ' s e v e r y p a t h retreat;
Thou art my Way, my Leader be, H480
And set upon the rock my feet.
1 AH ! Lord, with trembling I confess,
7 Uphold me, Saviour, or I fall, A gracious soul may fall from grace:
O reach me out Thy gracious hand ! The salt may lose its seasoning power,
Only on Thee for help I call, And never, never find it more.
Only by faith in Thee I stand.
Amen. 2 Lest that my fearful case should be.
Each moment knit my soul to Thee;
And lead me to the mount above,
Through the low vale of humble love.

Jesus Himself is nigh; 1 SURROUNDED by a host of foes ,
Wake, brethren, wake ! S t o r m e d b y a h o s t o f f o e s within,
Nor swift to flee, nor strong to oppose,
Single, against hell, earth, and sin,

Single, yet undismayed, I am :
And all your conflicts passed,
I dare believe in Jesu's name.
Ye may o'ercome through Christ alone,
And stand entire at last.
2 What though a thousand hosts engage,
A thousand worlds, my soul to shake?
3 Stand then against your foes,
I have a shield shall quell their rage,
In close and firm array;
And drive the alien armies back;
Legions of wily fiends oppose
P o r tr a y e d i t b e a r s a b l e e d i n g Lamb :
Throughout the evil day :
I dare believe in Jesu's name.
But meet the sons of night;
But mock their vain design,
3 Me to retrieve from Satan's hands,
Armed in the arms of heavenly light,
Me from this evil world to free,
Of righteousness divine.
To purge my sins, and loose my bands.
And save from all iniquity,
4 Leave no unguarded place.
My Lord and God from heaven He came :
No weakness of the soul;
I dare believe in Jesu's name.
Take every virtue, every grace,
And fortify the whole indissolubly joined,
4 Salvation in His name there is,
To battle all proceed;
Salvation from sin, death, and hell,
But arm yourselves with all the mind
Salvation into glorious bliss,
That was in Christ, your Head.
How great salvation, who can tell?
Brit all He hath for mine I claim:
I dare believe in Jesu's name. Amen. H485

Through His eternal Son:
His name is all my trust;
Strong in the Lord of Hosts,
Nor will He put my soul to shame,
And In His mighty power,
Nor let my hope be lost.
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.

And He can well secure
2 Stand then in His great might.
What I've committed to His hands
With all His strength endued;
Till the decisive hour.
But take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God;

Before His Father's face,
And In the new Jerusalem
Appoint my soul a place.

A n d c a s t T h y f o e s w i t h f u r y down. And all that to the end endure
The cross, shall wear the crown.
2 As in the ancient days appear;
The sacred annals speak Thy fame : 4 Thrice blessed, bliss-inspiring hope !
Be now omnipotently near, It lifts the fainting spirits up,
To endless ages still the same. It brings to life the dead;
Our conflicts here shall soon be past,
3 Thy arm, Lord. is not shortened now, And you and I ascend at last,
It wants not now the power to save; Triumphant with our Head.
Still present with Thy people, Thou
Bear'st them through life's disparted wave. 5 That great mysterious Deity
We soon with open face shall see;
4 By death and hell pursued in vain, The beatific sight
To Thee the ransomed seed shall come; Shall fill heaven's sounding courts with praise,
S h o u t i n g , t h e i r h e a v e n l y Z i o n gain, And wide diffuse the golden blaze
And pass through death triumphant home. Of everlasting light.

And look beyond this vale of tears
To that celestial hill. 7 In hope of that ecstatic pause,
Jesus, we now sustain the cross.
2 Beyond the bounds of time and space, And at Thy footstool fall;
Look forward to that heavenly place, Till Thou our hidden life reveal,

I have the faith maintained. Hath risen with purpose fell;
Strong mail of craft and power

To whom it first was given, On earth is not his fellow.
They could not speak a greater word,
Nor all the saints in heaven. 2 With force of arms we nothing can.

To Thy creature fondly deigning; He, and no other one,
Shall conquer in the battle.

And watching to devour us,
We lay it not to heart so sore;
Not they can overpower us.
And let the prince of ill
Look grim as e'er he will,
He harms us not a whit :
For why? His doom is writ;
A word shall quickly slay him.

That sweet society Lift over us Thy blessed hands,
So sitting at Thy feet, my heart Speak, holy Jesus, peace !
Would all its love outpour, Amen.

To love Thee more and more. H510
H509 1 AWAY my needless fears ,
And doubts no longer mine;
1 THE Galilean fishers toil A ray of heavenly light appears,
THE night and nothing take; A messenger divine.
But Jesus comes—a wondrous spoil
Is lifted from the lake. 2 Thrice comfortable hope,
Lord, when our labours are in vain, That calms my troubled breast;
And vain the help of men, My Father's hand prepares the cup.
When fruitless is our care and pain, And what He wills is best.
Come, blessed Jesus, then I
3 If what I wish is good,
2 The night is dark, the surges fill And suits the will divine;
The bark, the wild winds roar; By earth and hell in vain withstood,
But Jesus comes; and all is still— I know it shall be mine.
The ship is at the shore.
O Lord, when storms around us how ! 4 Still let them counsel take
And all is dark and drear, To frustrate His decree,
In all the tempests of the soul, They cannot keep a blessing back
O blessed Jesus, hear ! By heaven designed for me.

3 A frail one, thrice denying Thee, 5 Here then I doubt no more,

Saw mercy in Thine eyes; But in His pleasure rest,
The penitent upon the tree Whose wisdom, love, and truth, and power
Was borne to Paradise. Engage to make me blest.
In hours of sin and deep distress,
O show us, Lord, Thy face; 6 To accomplish His design
In penitential loneliness, The creatures all agree;
O give us, Jesus, grace ! And all the attributes divine
Are now at work for me.

To their closed upper room; H511
But, suddenly, with joyful cheer
They see their Master come. 1 BEG ONE u nbe lie f my Sa viour i s n e a r ,
And for my relief will surely appear :
By prayer let me wrestle, and He will perform;
With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm.
 3 Let grace our selfishness expel.
2 Though dark be my way, since He is my Guide,
Our earthliness refine,
‘Tis mine to obey. 'tis His to provide;
And kindness in our bosoms dwell'.
Though cisterns be broken and creatures all fail,
As free and true as Thine.
The word He bath spoken shall surely prevail.
4 If joy shall at Thy bidding fly,
3 His love in time past forbids me to think
And grief's dark day come on,
He'll leave me at last in trouble to sink:
We, in our turn, would meekly cry:
While each Ebenezer I have in review
Father, Thy will be done!
Confirms His good pleasure to help me Quite through.
5 Should friends misjudge, or foes defame,
4 Why should I complain of want or distress,
Or brethren faithless prove,
Temptation or pain? He told me no less;
Then, like Thine own, be all our aim
The heirs of salvation, I know from His word.
To conquer them by love.
Through much tribulation must follow their Lord.
6 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife,
5 Since all that I meet shall work for my good,
Forgiving and forgiven,
The bitter is sweet, the medicine food;
O may we lead the pilgrim's life,
Though painful at present, 'twill cease before long;
And follow Thee to heaven.
And then, O how pleasant the conqueror's song !
Amen.

1 LORD as to Thy dear Cross we flee ,
1 WHO fathoms the eternal thought ?
And plead to be forgiven,
Who talks of scheme and plan?
So let Thy life our pattern be,
The Lord is God ! He needeth not
And form our souls for heaven.
The poor device of man.

Our daily cross to bear;
When tossed by storm and flood,
Like Thee to do our Father's will,
T o o n e f i x e d g r o u n d m y s p i r i t clings;
Our brethren's grief to share.
I know that God is good!

3 I long for household voices gone,

For vanished smiles I long;
But God hath led my dear ones on,
And He can do no wrong.

4 1 know not what the future hath

Of marvel or surprise,
Assured alone that life and death
His mercy underlies.
6 And if my heart and flesh are weak 2 I dare not choose my lot;
To bear an untried, pain, I would not, if I might :
The bruised reed He will not break, Choose Thou for me, my God;
But strengthen and sustain. So shall I walk aright.
The kingdom that I seek
6 No offering of my own I have, Is Thine; so let the way
Nor works my faith to prove; That leads to it be Thine.
I can but give the gifts He gave, Else I must surely stray.
And plead His love for love.
3 Take Thou my cup, and it
7 And so beside the silent sea With joy or sorrow fill
I wait the muffled oar; As best to Thee may seem;
No harm from Him can come to me Choose Thou my good and ill.
On ocean or on shore. Not mine, not mine the choice
In things or great or small;

Their fronded palms in air; My Wisdom, and my All.
I only know I cannot drift Amen.

1 WHEN we walk with the Lord
1 HE that is down needs fear no fall , In the light of His Word
He that is low, no pride; What a glory He sheds on our way !
He that is humble ever shall While we do His good will,
Have God to be his guide. He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
2 I am content with what I have, Trust and obey, for there's no other way
Little be it or much; To be happy in Jesus,
And, Lord, contentment still I crave, But to trust and obey.
Because Thou savest such.
2 Not a shadow can rise,
3 Fullness to such a burden is Not a cloud in the skies,
That go on pilgrimage; But His smile quickly drives it away;
Here little, and hereafter bliss, Not a doubt nor a fear,
Is best from age to age. Not a sigh nor a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.
H515
3 Not a burden we bear,
1 THY way not mine O Lord , Not a sorrow we share,
However dark it be ! But our toil He doth richly repay;
Lead me by Thine own hand; Not a grief nor a loss,
Choose out the path for me. Not a frown nor a cross,
Smooth let it be or rough, But is blest if we trust and obey.
It will be still the best;
Winding or straight, it leads
Right onward to Thy rest.
4 But we never can prove Thine I am, O spotless Lamb,
The delights of His love I will suffer nought to hide Thee,
Until all on the altar we lay: Nought I ask beside Thee.
For the favour He shows,
And the joy He bestows, 2 In Thine arm I rest me;
Are for them who will trust and obey. Foes who would molest me
Cannot reach me here;
5 Then in fellowship sweet Though the earth be shaking,
We will sit at His feet, Every heart be quaking,
Or we'll walk by His side in the way; Jesus calms my fear;
What He says we will do, Sin and hell in conflict fell
Where He sends we will go— With their bitter storms assail me
Never fear, only trust and obey. Jesus will not fail me.

3 Hence, all fears and sadness.

H517 For the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in;
1 SIMPLY trusting every day , Those who love the Father,
Trusting through a stormy way; Though the storms may gather,
Even when my faith is small, Still have peace within;
Trusting Jesus, that is all. Yea, whate'er I here must bear.
Trusting as the moments fly, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure,
Trusting as the days go by, Jesu, priceless treasure!
Trusting Him whate'er befall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

To lift me nearer heaven. My only hope and comfort,

For Thou hest purchased all for me.

Bring with it what it may :
The tempting sounds I hear;

But He will bear us through;
Who gives the lilies clothing
Will clothe His people too :
Beneath the spreading heavens
No creature but is fed;
And He who feeds the ravens
Will give His children bread.

Though all the field should wither, A m er c y s til l in e ver y th in g ,
And shining through all mysteries.
Nor flocks nor herds be there,
Yet, God the same abiding,
His praise shall tune my voice; 3 O blessed life! the soul that soars,
When sense of mortal sight is dim,
For, while In Him confiding,
I cannot but rejoice. Beyond the sense—beyond to Him
Whose love unlocks the heavenly doors.

From self-born aims find wishes free,
1 IN heavenly love abiding , In all at one with Deity,
No change my heart shall fear; And loyal to the Lord's control.
And safe is such confiding,
For nothing changes here 5 O life, how blessed, how divine!
The storm may roar without me, H i g h l i f e , t h e e a r n e s t o f a higher :
My heart may low be laid; Saviour, fulfill my deep desire.
But God is round about me. And let this blessed life be mine.
And can I be dismayed? Amen.

My Shepherd is beside me,
And nothing can I lack: 1 OFT I in my heart have said :

His sight is never dim;
He knows the way He taketh, To bring Him from the sky?
And I will walk with Him. Borne on contemplation's wing,
Surely I shall find Him there,
3 Green pastures are before me, W h e r e t h e a n g e l s p r a i s e t h e i r King,
Which yet I have not seen; And gain the morning star.
Bright skies will soon be o'er me,
W h e r e t h e d a r k c l o u d s h a v e been : 2 Oft I in my heart have said:
My hope I cannot measure, Who to the deep shall Stoop.
Sink with Christ among the dead,
My path to life is free:
My Saviour has my treasure, From thence to bring Him up?
And He will walk with me. Could I but my heart prepare
By unfeigned humility,
Christ would quickly enter there,
H529 And ever dwell with me.

When all without tumultuous seems
That trusts a higher will, and deems
That higher will, not mine, the best.

Inward turn thine eyes, it saith,
While Christ to me it brings; 1 LET everlasting glories crown
Christ is ready to impart Thy head. my Saviour and my Lord;
Life to all for life who sigh; Thy hands have brought salvation down,
In thy mouth and in thy heart And writ the blessing in Thy word.
The word is ever nigh.

H531 Some solid ground to rest upon;
W i t h l o n g d e s p a i r o u r s p i r i t breaks,

On Thee, bright Sun of Righteousness.

Guided by Thee, through all I go, How wise and holy Thy commands;
Nor fear the ruin spread below, Thy promises, how firm they be:
For Thou art always nigh. How Arm our hope and comfort stands !

A soul that walks with Christ in light; How wise and holy Thy commands;
He walks, and cannot fall: Thy promises, how firm they be:
Clearly he sees, and wins his way, How Arm our hope and comfort stands !
Shining unto the perfect day,
And more than conquers all. 4 Should all the forms that men devise
Assault my faith with treacherous art,
3 I rest in Thine almighty power; I'd call them vanity and lies,
The name of Jesus is a tower. And bind Thy gospel to my heart.
That hides my life above;
Thou canst, Thou wilt my Helper be:
My confidence is all In Thee
The faithful God of love.

My soul to Thy continual care
I faithfully commend: Assured that
Thou through life shalt save,
And show Thyself beyond the grave
My everlasting Friend.

The falling of a tear,
To us who for Thy coming stay;
The upward glancing of an eye
Of all Thy gifts we ask but one,
When none but God is near.
We ask the constant power to pray :
Indulge us. Lord. In this request;

Prayer the sublimest strains that reach
The majesty on high. H535

The Christian's native air, The oil of gladness on our heads—
His watchword at the gates of death; A place than all beside more sweet;
He enters heaven with prayer. It is the blood-stained mercy-seat.

6 O Thou by whom we come to God 3 There is a spot where spirits blend,

The Life, the Truth, the Way! And friend holds fellowship with friend;
The path of Prayer Thyself hast trod : Though sundered far, by faith they meet

And time and sense seem all no more;

And glory crowns the mercy-seat.

With hope of heaven. 4 Therefore I seek my God, and raise
My grateful thanks, my fervent praise;
5 No words can tell what blest relief, While evil passions and deceit
There for my every want I find; Will vanish when before His feet
What strength for warfare, balm for grief; I kneel to pray.
What peace of mind.
5 And if, great Father, when I pray,
6 Hushed is each doubt, gone every fear; Thy answer can be only Nay,
My spirit seems in heaven to stay: Still Thou wilt comfort me and bless
And e'en the penitential tear With visions of Thy righteousness:
Is wiped away. Help me to pray.

On Thee I cast my care,
And listen to my cry:
With humble confidence look up
Remember now Thy faithful word,
And know Thou hear'st my prayer.
And graciously reply.
Give me on Thee to wait,
Till I can all things do.
2 Do not in judgement rise
On Thee, almighty to create,
Thy servant's life to scan;
Almighty to renew.
For righteous in Thy spotless eyes
Is found no living man.

Toward Thy holy place,
With soul athirst, weary lands.
For Thy refreshing grace.

My failing heart to save. Is dark, Whose mind is dim,
Hide not Thy face : I droop as they Before the Ineffable appear,
That sink into the grave. And on my naked spirit bear
The uncreated beam?

My faith desires to see: 4 There is a way for man to rise
O let me walk before Thy sight! To that sublime abode:
I lift my soul to Thee. An offering and a sacrifice.
A Holy Spirit's energies.
6 Let Thy good Spirit lead An Advocate with God-
My feet in righteous ways,
And for Thy name's sake, Lord, my head 5 These, these prepare us for the sight
Above my troubles raise. Of holiness above:
The sons of ignorance and night
May dwell in the eternal Light,
H544 Through the eternal Love !

How pure the soul must be, H545
When, placed within Thy searching sight,
It shrinks not, but, with c alm delight, 1 O DISCLOSE Thy lovely face !
Can live, and look on Thee ! Q u i c k e n a l l m y d r o o p i n g powers;
Gasps my fainting soul for grace,
2 The spirits that surround Thy throne As a thirsty land for showers;
May bear the burning bliss; Haste, my Lord, no more delay,
But that is surely theirs alone, Come, my Saviour, come away !
S i n c e t h e y h a v e n e v e r , n e v e r known
A fallen world like this. 2 Well Thou know'st I cannot rest
Till I fully rest In Thee,
Till I am of Thee possessed.
Till, from every sin set free,
All the life of faith I prove,
All the joy and heaven of love.

3 With me O continue, Lord !

Keep me, or from Thee I fly:
Strength and comfort from Thy word
Imperceptibly supply,
Hold me till I apprehend,
Make me faithful to the end.
Amen.

With streams that sing, and hills that preach,
With waves that laugh on every beach,

We praise Thee we are Thine !
What God hath given thee;
To spend thy self nor count the cost,

To serve right gloriously
Our life and breath we hold;
The God who gave all worlds that are,
But Thine because In Christ we see
And all that are to be.
The grace that sets our spirits free,
And for the truth makes bold.

Whate'er Thy bounteous grace hath given, To toil amid the busy throng,
And run my course with even Joy, With purpose pure and high
And closely walk with Thee to heaven. But God has fixed another pan.
And He has fixed it well;
I said so with my breaking heart,
H591 When first this trouble fell.
1 BELIEVE not those who say 2 These weary hours will not be lost,
The upward path is smooth, These days of misery,
L e s t thou shouldst stumble in the way These nights of darkness, tempest-tossed,
And faint before the truth. Can I but turn to Thee,
With secret labour to sustain
In patience every blow,
To gather fortitude from pain,
And holiness from woe.
3 If Thou shouldst bring me back to life, By the hearthstone, whence we came,
More humble I should be, L o v e s h a l l t r i m h e r g e n t l e flame,
More wise, more strengthened for the strife, Kindling new from undefiled
More apt to lean on Thee; Ancient altars of the child.
Should death be standing at the gate, 4Brothers, whom the wider life
Thus should I keep my vow. Summons to a man's endeavour,
But Lord, whatever be my fate, Bear our blessing to the strife,

Praise in each duty and each deed,
However small and mean. 5 Thus may I show the Spirit within.

3 Shadows deep have crossed our pathway; D e a t h o f d e a t h s , a n d h e l l ' s destruction,
We have trembled in the storm; Land me safe on Canaan's side:
Clouds have gathered round so darkly Songs of praises
That we could not see Thy form I will ever give to Thee.
Yet Thy love hath never left us
In our griefs alone to be, H616
And the help each gave the other
Was the s tr eng th tha t ca me from Thee. 1 THROUGH the night of doubt and sorrow,
Onward goes the pilgrim band,
4 Many that we loved have left us, Singing songs of expectation,
Reaching first their journey's end; Marching to the promised land.
Now they wait to give us welcome,
Brother, sister, child, and friend. 2 Clear before us through the darkness
When at last our Journey's over, Gleams and burns the guiding light;
And we pass away from sight, Brother clasps the hand of brother,
Father, take us through the dark-ness Stepping fearless through the night.
Into everlasting light.
Amen. 3 O n e t h e l i g h t o f G o d ' s o w n presence,
O'er His ransomed people shed,
H615 Chasing far the gloom and terror,
B r i g h t e n i n g a l l t h e p a t h w e tread :
1 GUIDE me O Thou great Jehovah ,
Pilgrim through this barren land: 4 One the object of our journey,
I am weak, but Thou art mighty. One the faith which never tires,
Ho ld me w ith 'T h y powe r fu l hand : One the earnest looking forward,
Bread of heaven! One the hope our God inspires:
Feed me now and evermore.
5 O n e t h e s t r a i n t h a t l i p s o f thousands
Lift as from the heart of one;
One the conflict, one the peril.
One the march in God begun:
6 One the gladness of rejoicing
On the far eternal shore, 4 Then with saints and angels
Where the one almighty Father May we join above,
Reigns in love for evermore. Offering prayers and praises
At Thy throne of love.
7 Onward therefore, pilgrim brothers, When the march is over,
Onward with the Cross our aid! Then come rest and peace,
Bear its shame. and fight its battle, Jesus in His beauty,
Till we rest beneath its shade. Songs that never cease.

8 Soon shall come the great awaking, H618

Soon the rending of the tomb;
Then the scattering of all shadows, 1 O HAPPY band of pilgrims ,
And the end of toil arid gloom. If onward ye will tread,
With Jesus as your Fellow.
H617 To Jesus as your Head!

1 RIGHTLY gleams our banner , 2 O happy if ye labour

Pointing to the sky, As Jesus did for men
Waving on Christ's soldiers O happy if ye hunger
To their home on high. As Jesus hungered then!
Marching through the desert,
Gladly thus we pray, 3 The Cross that Jesus carried,
Still with hearts united He carried as your due :
Singing on our way. The crown that Jesus weareth.
Brightly gleams our banner, He weareth it for you.
Pointing to the sky,
Waving on Christ's soldiers 4 The faith by which ye see Him,
To their home on high. The hope in which ye yearn,
The love that through all troubles
2 Jesus, Lord and Master, To Him alone will turn,
At Thy sacred feet,
Here, with hearts rejoicing, 5 The trials that beset you,
See Thy children meet, The sorrows ye endure,
Often have we left Thee, The manifold temptations
Often gone astray; That death alone can cure:
Keep us, mighty Saviour,
In the narrow way. 6 What are they but His jewels,
Of right celestial worth?
3 All our days direct us in the way we go; What are they but the ladder;
Lead its on victorious Set up to heaven on earth?
Over every toe;
Bid Thine angels shield, us 7 O happy band of pilgrims,
When the storm-clouds lower; Look upward to the skies,
Pardon Thou and save us Where such a light affliction
In the last dread hour. Shall win you such a prize.
H619 There's no discouragement
Shall make him once relent
1 FORWARD be our watchword , His first avowed intent
Steps and voices joined; To be a pilgrim.
Seek the things before us,
Not a look behind; 2 Who so beset him found
Burns the fiery Pillar With dismal stories,
At our army's head: Do but themselves confound;
Who shall dream or shrinking, His strength the more is.
By our Captain led? No lion can him fright.
Forward through the desert, He'll with a giant fight,
Through the toil and fight; But be will have a right
Jordan flows before us, To be a pilgrim.
Zion beams with light.
3 Hobgoblin nor foul fiend
2 GIories upon glories Can daunt his spirit;
Hath our God prepared, He knows he at the end
By the souls that love Him Shall life inherit.
One day to be shared; Then fancies fly away;
Eye hath not beheld them He'll fear not what men say;
Ear hath never heard. He'll labour night and day
Nor of these hath uttered To be a pilgrim.
Thought or speech a word.
Forward, ever forward,
Clad in armour bright, H621
Till the veil be lifted,
Till our faith be sight. 1 JESUS the good Shepherd is ;
Jesus died the sheep to save;
3 Far o'er Yon horizon He is mine, and I am His;
Rise the City towers, All I want in Him I have,
Where our God abideth; Life, and health, and rest, and food,
That fair home is ours All the plenitude of God.
Flash the gates with Jasper,
Shine the streets with gold, 2 Jesus loves and guards His own;
Flows the gladdening river, Me in verdant pastures feeds;
Shedding joys untold. Makes me quietly lie down,
Thither, onward thither, By the streams of comfort leads
In the Spirit's might; Following Him where'er He goes,
Pilgrims to your country, Silent joy my heart o'erflows.
Forward Into light.
3 He in sickness makes me whole,
Guides into the paths of peace;
H620 He revives my fainting soul,
Stablishes in righteousness;
1 WHO would true valour see , Who for me vouchsafed to die,
Let him come hither; Loves me still—I know not why !
One here will constant be,
Come wind, come weather;
4 Love divine shall still embrace, Yet art, Thou always here to help, and bless,
Love shall keep me to the end; And lift the load of my great sinfulness.
Surely all my happy days
I shall in Thy temple spend, 2 1 dared not ever hope for such a Guide
Till I to Thy house remove, To walk with me my faltering steps beside,
Thy eternal house above! To help me when I fall, and, when I stray,
Constrain me gently to the better way:
H622 Yet art Thou always at my side to be
A Counsellor and Comforter to me.
1 SHOW me the way O Lord ,
And make it plain; 3 I do not always go where Thou dost lead,
I would obey Thy Word, I do not always Thy soft whispers heed;
Speak yet again; I follow other lights, and, in my sin,
I w i l l n o t t a k e o n e s te p u n t i l I know I v e x w i t h m a n y a s l i g h t m y Friend within:
Which way it is that Thou wouldst have me go. Yet dost Thou not, though grieved, from me depart,
But guardest still Thy place within my heart.
2 O Lord, I cannot see!
Vouchsafe me light: H624
The mist bewilders me,
Impedes my sight: 1 JESUS still lead on ,
Hold Thou my hand, and lead me by Thy side; Till our rest he won,
I dare not go alone: be Thou my Guide. And, although the way be cheerless,
We will follow, calm and fearless:
3 1 will be patient. Lord, Guide us by Thy hand
Trustful and still; To our Fatherland.
I will not doubt Thy Word:
My hopes fulfill : 2 If the way be drear,
How can I perish, clinging to Thy side, If the foe be near,
My Comforter, my Saviour, and my Guide? Let not faithless fears o'ertake us,
Let not love and hope forsake us.
H623 For, through many a foe.
To our home we go.
1 I DARED not hope that Thou
wouldst deign to come
And make this lowly heart of mine Thy home,
That Thou wouldst deign, O King
of kings, to be
E'en for one hour a sojourner in m e ;
3 When we seek relief H626
From a long-felt grief,
When oppressed by new temptations, 1 I WANT a principle within
Lord increase and perfect patience Of jealous, godly fear,
Show us that bright shore A sensibility of sin,
Where we weep no more. A pain to feel it near.
4 When sweet earth and skies 2 I want the first approach to feel
Fade before our eyes; Of pride or fond desire.
When through death we look to heaven, To catch the wandering of my will,
And our sins are all forgiven, And quench the kindling fire.
From Thy bright abode,
Call us home to God. 3 That I from Thee no more may part,
No more Thy goodness grieve,
5 Jesus, still lead on, The filial awe, the fleshly heart,
Till our rest be won; The tender conscience, give.
Heavenly Leader, still direct us.
Still support, console, protect us, 4 Quick as the apple of an eye,
Till we safely stand O God, my conscience make:
In our Fatherland. Awake my soul when sin is nigh,
Amen. And keep it still awake.

H625 5 O may the least omission pain

My well instructed soul,
1 TO the hills will lift mine eyes, And drive me to the blood again
From whence doth come mine aid; Which makes the wounded whole.
My safety cometh from the Lord,
W h o h e a v e n a n d e a r t h h a t h made. H627
2 Thy foot He'll not let glide, nor will 1 WHO happy every child of grace,
He slumber that thee keeps I Behold. Who knows his sins forgiven!
He that keeps Israel, This earth, he cries, is not my place,
He slumbers not, nor sleeps. I seek my place in heaven !
A country far from mortal sight;
3 The Lord thee keeps, the Lord thy shade Yet O by faith I see
On thy right hand doth stay The land of rest, the saints' delight,
The moon by night thee shall not smite, The heaven prepared for me.
Nor yet the sun by day.
2 A stranger in the world below,
4 The Lord shall keep thy soul; He shall I calmly sojourn here;
Preserve thee from all ill: Nor ran its happiness or woe
Henceforth thy going out and in Provoke my hope or fear:
God keep for ever will. Its evils in a moment end,
Amen. Its joys as soon are past;
But O the bliss to which I tend
Eternally shall last.
3 To that Jerusalem above 2 Enough that blessings undeserved
With singing I repair; Have marked my erring track;
While in the flesh, my hope and love, T ha t w h ereso e' er m y fe e t ha v e swerved,
My heart and soul, are there His chastening turned me back;
There my exalted Saviour stands,
My merciful High-priest, 3 That more and more a providence
And still extends His wounded hands Of love is understood,
To take me to His breast. Making the springs of time and sense
Sweet with eternal good;
4 O what a blessed hope is ours,
While here on earth we stay, 4 That death seems but a covered way
We more than taste the heavenly powers, Which opens into light
And antedate that day Wherein no blinded child can stray
We feel the resurrection near, Beyond the Father's sight;
Our life in Christ concealed,
And with His glorious presence here 5 That care and trial seem at last.
Our earthen vessels filled. Through memory's sunset air,
Like mountain ranges overpast,
In purple distance fair;

1 YE that do your Master's will, S e em b le nd in g i n a psa l m ,
Meek in heart, be meeker still And all the angles of its strife
Day by day your sins confess, Slow rounding into calm.
Ye that walk in righteousness
Gracious souls in grace abound, 7 And so the shadows fall apart,

And all the windows of my heart

Toward the height of holiness;
All His promises receive,
All the grace He hath to give;

Till ye see His g1cirious face. 1 O GRANT us light that we may know

That truth may guide where'er we go

Look down in love, and hear our humble cry. Steadfast and sure while the billows roll;
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,

To contrite sinners life eternal give. While the surges rave, and the wily' winds blow,
Shall the angry waves then your bark o'erflow?
4 Thou art the Bread of heaven, on Thee we feed;
Be near to help our souls in time of need. 3 Will your anchor hold in the floods of death,
When the waters cold chill your latest breath?
5 Thou art the mourner's Stay, the sinner's Friend. On the rising tide you can never fail,
Sweet Fount of joy and blessings without end. While your anchor holds within the veil.

Dark, dark hath been the mid-night;
1 LIGHT of the world faint were But day-spring is at hand,
our weary feet And glory, glory dwelleth
With wandering far; In Immanuel's land.
But Thou didst come our lonely

O Morning Star; Without a veil Is seen;
And Thou didst bid us lift our It were a well-spent journey,

To see the glory of the glowing sky. The Lamb, with His fair army,

How blind to Thee! The streams on earth I've tasted
But Thou didst pity, Lord, our More deep I'll drink above;

and give them sight.
There to an ocean fullness H639
His mercy doth expand

He will not lose His blood,

All's sure and seen to Him,
H638 Which I here grope for.

1 O God the only Wise, 3 Lord Jesus, take my spirit,

Our Saviour and our King, I trust Thy life and merit;
Let all the saints below the skies Take home this wandering sheep,
Their humble praises bring. For Thou hast sought it
This soul in safety keep,
2 'Tis His almighty love, For Thou hast bought it.
His counsels, and His care,
Preserve us safe from sin and death, H640
And every hurtful snare.
1 SUNSET and evening star,
3 He will present our souls, And one clear call for me !
Unblemished and complete And may there be no moaning of the bar,
Before the glory of His face, When I put out to sea,
With joys divinely great. But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam.
4 Then all the chosen seed When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Shall meet around the throne, Turns again home,
Shall bless the conduct of His grace,
And make His wonders known. 2 Twilight and evening bell.
And after that the dark !
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark;
For though from out our bourne of time and place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.
H641 3 I have but Thee, MY Father; let Thy Spirit
Be with me then to comfort and uphold;
1 WHILE ebbing nature grieves, No gate of pearl, no branch of Palm I merit,
My God, my portion be, Nor street of shining gold.
Until the hour which gives
My spirit unto Thee. 4 Suffice It If — my good and Ill unreckoned,
When flesh and life decline, And both forgiven through Thy abounding grace
Stretch out Thy hand and take I find Myself by hands familiar beckoned
My nature into Thine, Unto my fitting place,
Till I in Thee awake.
5 There, from the music round about me stealing,
2 The morning sun will glow, I fain would learn the new and holy song,
The evening light will die: And find at last, beneath Thy trees of healing,
So change the lights below, The life for which I long.
They never change on high. Amen.
Friend turns from friend his face,
One mourns upon the shore; H643
But from Thy holy place
Thy sons go out no more. 1 WHEN this passing world is done,
When has sunk yon glaring sun,
3 The cloud broods o'er us still; W h e n w e s t a n d w i t h C h r i s t i n glory,
We hope, yet fear to fall; Looking o'er life's finished story,
We long toward yonder hill Then, Lord. shall I fully know,
Whence comes the help of all: Not till then, how much I owe.
It glimmers through the night
The dead have overpast 2 When I stand before the throne.
To Thee the dawning Light: Dressed In beauty not my own,
O fail us not at last! When I see Thee as Thou art,
Amen. Love Thee with unsinning heart,
Then, Lord, shall I fully know,
H642 Not till then, how much I owe.

1 WHEN on My day of life the night is falling, 3 When the praise of heaven I hear,
And In the winds, from unsunned spaces blown, Loud as thunders to the ear,
I hear far voices out of darkness calling Loud as many waters' noise,
My feet to paths unknown. Sweet as harp's melodious voice,
Then, Lord, shall I fully know.
2 Be near me when all else is froth me drifting Not till then. how much I owe.
Earth, sky, home's pictures, days of shade and shine,
And kindly faces, to my own uplifting
The love which answers mine.
 What power shall be the sinner's stay?
4 Chosen not for good in me How shall we meet that dreadful day?
Hidden in the Saviour's side,
By the Spirit sanctified, 2 When, shrivelling like a parched scroll,
Teach me, Lord, on earth to show, The flaming heavens together roll,
By my love, how much I owe. Amen. When louder yet, and yet more dread,
Swells the high trump that wakes the dead.
H644
3 Of On that day, that wrathful day,
1 THOU Judge of quick and dead, When man to judgement wakes from clay,
Before whose bar severe, Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay,
With holy joy, or guilty dread, Though heaven and earth shall pass a w a y .
We all shall soon appear : Amen.
Our cautioned souls prepare
For that tremendous day; H646
And fill us now with watchful care,
And stir us up to pray. 1 Day of wrath O day of mourning !
See fulfilled the prophet's warning,
2 To pray, and wait the hour, H e a v e n a n d e a r t h t o a s h e s burning.
That awful hour unknown,
When, robed in majesty and power, 2 O what fear man's bosom rendeth,
Thou shalt from heaven come down, When from heaven the Judge descendeth,
The immortal Son of Man, On whose sentence all dependeth.
To judge the human race,
With all Thy Father's dazzling train, 3 Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth,
With all Thy glorious grace. Through earth's sepulchres it ringeth,
All before the throne it bringeth.
3 O may we thus be found
Obedient to His word, 4 Death is struck, and nature quaking.
Attentive to the trumpet's sound, All creation is awaking,
And looking for our Lord. To its Judge an answer making.
O may we thus ensure
A lot among the blest; 5 Lo ! The Book, exactly worded,
And watch a moment to secure Wherein all hath been recorded;
An everlasting rest. T h e n c e s h a l l J u d g e m e n t , b e awarded.
Amen.

H645
1 THAT day of wrath that dreadful day
When heaven and earth shall pass away:
6 When the Judge His seat attaineth 17 Ah, that day of tears and mourning!
And each hidden deed arraigneth, From the dust of earth returning,
Nothing unavenged remaineth. Man for judgement must prepare him,

7 What shall I frail man, be pleading, 18 Spare, O God, in mercy spare him.
Who for me be interceding, Lord all pitying, Jesu blest.
When the just are mercy needing? Grant us Thine eternal rest!
Amen.
8 King of majesty tremendous,
Who dost free salvation send us, H647
Fount of pity, then befriend us.
1 LORD it belongs not to my care
9 Think, good Jesu, my salvation Whether I die or live;
Caused Thy wondrous incarnation; To love and serve Thee is my share,
Leave me not to reprobation. And this Thy grace must give.

10 Faint and weary Thou hast sought me, 2 I f l i fe b e l o n g , I w i l l b e g l a d

On the Cross of suffering bought me; That I may long obey;
Shall such grace be vainly brought me? If short, yet why should I be sad
To soar to endless day?
11 Righteous Judge: for sin's pollution
Grant Thy gift of absolution, 3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Ere that day of retribution. Than He went through before:
He that into God's kingdom comes
12 Guilty, now I pour my moaning, Must enter by this door.
All my shame with anguish owning;
S p a r e , O G o d , T h y s u p p l i a n t groaning. 4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet
Thy blessed face to see;
13 Thou the sinful woman sav6dst, For if Thy work on earth be sweet,
Thou the dying thief forgavest, What will Thy glory be?
And to me a hope vouchsafest.
5 Then shall I end my sad complaints,
14 Worthless are my prayers and sighing; And weary, sinful days,
Yet, good Lord, in grace complying, A n d j o i n w i t h t h e t r i u m p h a n t saints
Rescue me from fires undying. That sing Jehovah's praise.

15 With Thy favoured sheep O place me, 6 My knowledge of that life is small,
Nor among the goats abase me, The eye of faith is dim;
But to Thy right hand upraise me. But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with Him.
16 Low I kneel, with heart-submission;
See, like ashes, my contrition;
Help me in my last condition.
 2 There everlasting spring abide,
H648 And never-withering flowers;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
1 AWAY with our sorrow and fear ! This heavenly land from ours.
We soon shall recover our home,
The city of saints shall appear, 3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood
The day of eternity come : Stand dressed in living green:
From earth we shall quickly remove, So to the Jews old Canaan stood.
And mount to our native abode, While Jordan rolled between.
The house of our Father above
The palace of angels and God. 4 But timorous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea,
2 Our mourning is all, at an end And linger, shivering on the brink,
When, raised by the life-giving word, And fear to launch away.
We see the new city descend,
Adorned as a bride for her Lord; 5 O could we make our doubts remove,
The city so holy and clean, Those gloomy thoughts that rise,
No sorrow can breathe in the air; And see the Canaan that we love
No gloom of affliction or sin, With unbeclouded eyes:
No shadow of evil is there.
6 Could we but climb where
3 By faith we already behold Moses stood,
That lovely Jerusalem here: And view the landscape o'er,
Her walls are of jasper and gold, Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood.
As crystal her buildings are clear; Should fright us from the shore !
Immovably founded in grace,
She stands as she ever hath stood, H650
And brightly her Builder displays,
And flames with the glory of God 1 JERUSALEM my happy home ,

4 No need of the sun in that day, When shall my labours have an end,
Which never is followed by night. In Joy, and peace, and thee?
Where Jesus's beauties display
A pure and a permanent light: 2 When shall these eyes thy , heaven-built walls
The Lamb is their light and their sun, And pearly gates behold,
And lo, by reflection they shine, T h y b u l w a r k s w i t h s a l v a t i o n strong,

And bright in effulgence divine.

Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.

The home of God's elect !
O sweet and blessed country.
That eager hearts expect ! 1 SWEET place sweet place alone !
Jesu, in mercy bring us The court of God most high,
• The heaven of heavens, the throne
To that dear land of rest,
Who art, with God the Father Of spotless majesty !
And Spirit, ever blest. O happy place! When shall I be
My God, with Thee, to see Thy face?
5 Jerusalem the golden,
With milk and honey blessed, 2 There dwells my Lord, my King,
Beneath thy contemplation Judged here unfit to live;
Sink heart and voice oppressed. There angels to Him sing,
I know not, O I know not, And lowly homage give.
What joys await us there,
What radiancy of glory, 3 The patriarchs of old
What bliss beyond compare There from their travels cease;
The prophets there behold
6 They stand, those halls of Zion, Their longed-for Prince of Peace.
All jubilant with song,
And bright with many an angel 4 The Lamb's apostles there
And all the martyr throng; I might with joy behold;
The Prince is ever in them; The harpers I might hear
The daylight is serene; Harping on harps of gold.
The pastures of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen. 5 The faithful martyrs, they
Within those courts are found;
7 There is the throne of David, All clothed in pure array,
And there, from care released, Their scars with glory crowned.
The shout of them that triumph,
The song of them that feast; 6 Jerusalem on high
And they who, with their Leader, My song and city is,
Have conquered in the fight, My home whene'er I die,
For ever and for ever The centre of my bliss.
Are clad in robes of white.
H654
8 Strive, man, to win that glory;
Toll, man, to gain that light: 1 THE homeland The homeland !
Send hope before to grasp it, The land of the free-born;
Till hope be lost in sight. There's no night in the homeland,
Exult, O dust and ashes; But aye the fadeless morn;
The Lord shall be thy part I'm sighing for the homeland,
His only, His for ever My heart is aching here;
Thou shalt be, and thou art. There's no pain in the homeland,
To which I'm drawing near.

2 My Lord is in the homeland,

With angels bright and fair:
There's no sin in the homeland,
And no temptation there;
The voices of the homeland 7 Quite through the streets with silver sound,
Are ringing in my ears, The flood of life doth flow;
And when I think of the homeland, Upon whose banks on every side
My eyes are filled with tears. The wood of life doth grow.

3 For those I love in the homeland 8 Thy saints are crowned with glory great,
Are calling me away They see God face to face;
To the rest and peace of the homeland. They triumph still. they still rejoice,
And the life beyond decay: Most happy is their case.
For there's no death in the homeland,
There is no grief above 9 There David stands with harp in hand
Christ bring us all to the homeland As master of the quire,
Of His eternal love. Ten thousand and times that man were blest
Amen. That might this music hear.

H655 10 There Magdalene hath left her moan,

And cheerfully doth sing
1 JERUSALEM my happy home, With blessed Saints. whose harmony
When shall I come to thee? In every street doth ring.
When shall my sorrows have an end?
Thy joys when shall I see? 11 Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
God grant me once to see
2 O happy harbour of the saints ! Thy endless joys, and of the same
O sweet and pleasant soil ! Partaker aye to be.
In thee no sorrow may be found. Amen.
No grief, no care, no toil.
H656
3 Thy walls are made of precious stones,
Thy bulwarks diamonds Square; AROUND the throne of God in heaven Thousands of
Thy gates are of right orient pearl, children stand,
Exceeding rich and rare; Children, whose sins are all forgiven,
A holy, happy band,
4 Thy turrets and thy pinnacles Singing: Glory, glory, glory !
With carbuncles do shine
Thy very streets are paved with gold 2 In flowing robes of spotless white
Surpassing clear and fine. See every one arrayed,
Dwelling in everlasting light
5 Thy vineyards and thy orchards are And Joys that never fade.
Most beautiful and fair,
Full furnished with trees and fruits
Most wonderful and rare.

6 Thy gardens and thy gallant walks

Continually are green,
There grow such sweet and
pleasant flowers
As no-where else are seen.
3 What brought them to that world above,
That heaven so bright and fair, 5 O fuller, sweeter is that life,
Where all is peace, and joy, and love? And larger, ampler is the air
How came those children there ? Eye cannot see nor heart conceive
The glory there;
4 Because the Saviour shed His blood
To wash away their sin; 6 Nor know to what high purpose Thou
Bathed in that pure and precious flood, Dost yet employ their ripened powers,
Behold them white and clean. Nor bow at Thy behest they touch
This life of ours.
5 On earth they sought the Saviour's grace,
On earth they loved His name; 7 There are no tears within their eyes;
So now they see His blessed face, With love they keep perpetual tryst;
And stand before the Lamb. And praise and work and rest are one,
With Thee, O Christ.

1 FOR those we love within the veil, Who
once were comrades of our way, 1 For ever with the Lord !
We thank Thee, Lord; for they have won Amen; so let it be:
To cloudless day; Life from the dead is in that word,
'Tis immortality.
2 And life for them is life indeed, Herein the body pent,
T he sp lendid g oa l o f ea rth's strait race: Absent from Him I roam.
And where no shadows intervene Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
They see Thy face. A day's march nearer home.

3 Not as we knew them any more, 2 My Father's house on high,

Toilworn, and sad with burdened care Home of my soul, how near
Erect, clear-eyed, upon their brows At times, to faith's foreseeing eye,
Thy name they bear. Thy golden gates appear!
Ah! then my spirit faints
4 Free from the fret of mortal years, To reach the land I love,
And knowing now Thy perfect will, The bright inheritance of saints,
With quickened sense and heightened joy Jerusalem above.
They serve Thee still.
3 For ever with the Lord !
Father, If 'tis Thy will,
The promise of that faithful word
Even here to me fulfill.
Be Thou at my right hand,
Then can I never fall;
U p h o l d T h o u m e , a n d I s h a l l stand;
Fight, and I must prevail.

The Spirit sent from heaven
Shall rend the veil in twain,
And thus on thee most glorious

A triple light was given.
And life eternal gain,
Knowing as I am known,
3 To-day on weary nations
How Shall I love that word,
The heavenly manna falls;
And oft repeat before the throne
To holy convocations
For ever with the Lord!
The silver trumpet calls,
Where gospel light is glowing
H659 With pure and radiant 'beams,
And living water flowing
1 O DAY of rest and gladness, With soul-refreshing streams.
O day of joy and light,
O balm of care and sadness, 4 New graces ever gaining
Most beautiful, most bright ! From this our day of rest,
On thee the high and lowly, We r eac h th e res t r ema in ing
Through ages joined in tune, To spirits of the blest.
Sing : Holy, holy, holy, To Holy Ghost be praises,
To the great God Triune. To Father, and to Son;
To thee, blest Three in One.

On thee for our salvation, H660
Christ rose from depths of earth;

And chase its gloom away.

Thy peace our spirits fill:
Bid Thou the blasts of discord cease,
The waves of strife be still.

4 This is the day of prayer :

L e t e a r t h t o h e a v e n d r a w near;
Lift up our hearts to seek Thee there,
Come down to meet us here.
This is the first of days:
Send forth Thy Quickening breath, H662
And wake dead souls to love and praise,
O Vanquisher of death! 1 SWEET Is the sunlight after rain,
Amen. And sweet the sleep which follows pain,
And sweetly steals the Sabbath rest
Upon the world's work-wearied breast.
H661
1 COME, let us with our Lord arise, 2 Of heaven the sign, of earth the calm;
O u r L o r d , w h o m a d e b a th earth and skies; The poor man's birthright, and his balm;
Who died to save the world He made, God's witness of celestial things;
And rose triumphant from the - dead; A sun with healing in its wings.
He rose, the Prince of life and peace,
And stamped the day for ever His. 3 New rising in this gospel time,
And in its sevenfold light sublime,
2 This is the day the Lord bath made, Blest day of God I we hail its dawn,
T h a t a l l m a y a f t H i s l o v e d i s played, To gratitude and worship drawn.
May feel His resurrection's power,
And rise again to fall no more, 4 O nought of gloom and nought of pride
In perfect righteousness renewed, Should with the sacred hours abide;
And filled with all the life of God. At work for God, in loved employ,
We lose the duty in the joy.
3 Then let us render Him His own,
With solemn prayer approach the throne, 5 Breathe on us. Lord. our sine forgive,
With meekness hear the gospel word, And make us strong in faith to live :
With thanks His dying love record; Our utmost, sorest need supply,
Our joyful hearts and voices raise, And make us strong in faith to die.
And fill His courts with songs of praise. Amen.
4 Honour and praise to Jesus pay
Throughout His consecrated day; H663
Be all in Jesu's praise employed,
Nor leave a single moment void; 1 L IGHT of light, enlighten me.
W i t h u t m o s t c a r e t h e t i m e i mprove, N o w a n e w t h e d a y i s d a w n ing;
And only breathe His praise and love. Sun of grace, the shadows flee,
Amen. Brighten Thou my Sabbath morning;
With Thy Joyous sunshine blest,
Happy is my day of rest!
2 Fount of all our Joy and peace, 2 Be with us this day to bless us,
To Thy living waters lead me; That we may not hear in vain ;
Thou from earth my soul release, With the saving truths impress us,
And with grace and mercy feed me; Which the words of life contain.
B l ess T h y w o r d th a t i t m a y prove
Rich in fruits that Thou dost love. 3 Open Thou our minds, and lead us
Safely on our heavenward way;
3 Kindle Thou the sacrifice With the lamp of truth precede us,
That upon my lips is lying; That we may not go astray.
Clear the shadows from mine eyes,
That, from every error flying, 4 Make us gentle, meek, and humble,
No strange fire may in me glow And yet bold in doing right:
W h i c h T h i n e a l t a r d o t h n o t know. Scatter darkness, lest we stumble;
Men walk safely in the light.
4 Let me with my heart to-day,
Holy, holy, holy, singing, 5 Lord, endue Thy word from heaven
Rapt awhile from earth away, With such light, and love, and power,
All my soul to Thee upspringing, That in us its silent leaven
Have a foretaste inly given May work on from hour to hour.
H o w t h e y w o r s h i p T h e e I n heaven.
6 Give us grace to bear our witness
5 Rest in me and I in Thee, To the truths we have embraced;
Build a paradise within me; And let others both their sweet-ness
O reveal Thyself to me, A n d th e i r q u i c k e n i n g v i r tu e taste.
Blessed Love, who diedst to win me, Amen.
Fed from Thine exhaustless urn,
Pure and bright my lamp shall burn. H665
6 Hence all care and vanity, 1 SWEET is the work my God, my King,
For the day to God is holy; To praise Thy name, give thanks, and sing-,
Come, Thou glorious Majesty. T o s h o w T h y l o v e b y m o r n i n g light,
Deign to fill this temple lowly-, And talk of all Thy truth at night.
Nought to-day my soul shall move
Simply resting in Thy love. 2 Sweet Is the day of sacred rest,
No mortal cares disturb my breast:
H664 O May my heart in tune be found l i k e
D a v i d ' s h a r p o f s o l e m n sound !
H O W b l e a t t h e h o u r , L o r d Jesus,
When we can to Thee draw near, 3 My heart shall triumph in the Lord,
Promises so sweet and precious And bless His works, and bless His word :
From Thy gracious lips to hear. Thy works of grace, how bright they shine!
H o w d e e p T h y c o u n s e l s , b o w divine !
4 And I shall share a glorious part, To Thee our morning hymns ascended,
When grace has well refined my heart, Thy praise shall sanctify our rest.
A n d f r e s h s u p p l i e s o f j o y a r e shed,
Like holy oil to cheer my head. 2 We thank Thee that Thy Church unsleeping,
While earth rolls onward into light,
5 Then shall I see, and hear, and know Through all the World her watch is keeping,
All I desired and wished below; A n d r es ts n o t now b y d a y or night.
And every power find sweet employ
In that eternal world of joy. 9 A o'er each continent and island
The dawn leads on another day,
H666 The voice of prayer is never silent,
Nor dies the strain of praise away.
1 WE rose to-day with anthems sweet
To sing before the mercy-seat. 4 The sun that bids us rest is waking
And ere the darkness round us fell Our brethren 'neath the western sky,
W e b a d e t h e g r a t e f u l v e s p e r s swell. And hour by hour fresh lips are making
Thy wondrous doings heard on high.
2 W h a t e ' e r h a s r i s e n f r o m h e a r t sincere,
Each upward glance of filial fear, 5 So be it, Lord; Thy throne shall never,
Each true resolve, each solemn vow, Like earth's proud empires, pass away;
Jesus our Lord, accept it now. Thy kingdom stands, and grows for ever,
Till all Thy creatures own Thy away.
3 Whate'er beneath Thy searching eyes
Has wrought to spoil our sacrifice, H668
Mid this sweet stillness while we bow,
Jesus our Lord, forgive us now. 1 ANGEL voices ever singing
Round Thy throne of light.
4 O teach is erring souls to win, Angel harps, for ever ringing,
And hide a multitude of sin. Rest not day nor night;
To tread In Christ's long-suffering way, Thousands only live to bless Thee,
And grow more like Him day by d a y . And confess Thee
Amen. Lord of might,

H667
1 THE day Thou gavest Lord, is ended,
The darkness falls at Thy behest;
2 Thou who art beyond the farthest 3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee !
Mortal eye can scan, O calm of hills above,
Can it be that Thou regardest Where Jesus knelt to share with Thee
Songs of sinful man? The silence of eternity,
Can we know that Thou art near us Interpreted by love !
And wilt hear us?
Yea, we can. 4 With that deep hush subduing all
O u r w o r d s a n d w o r k s t h a t drown
3 Yea, we know that Thou rejoicest The tender whisper of Thy call,
O'er each work of Thine; As noiseless let Thy blessing fall
Thou didst ears. and hands, and voices As fell Thy manna down.
For Thy praise design;
C r a f t s m a n ' s a r t a n d m u s i c ' s measure 5 Drop Thy still dews of quietness,
For Thy pleasure Till all our strivings cease;
All combine, Take from our souls the strain and stress.
And let our ordered lives confess
4 In Thy house. great God, we offer The beauty of Thy peace.
Of Thine own to Thee,
And for Thine acceptance proffer, 6 Breathe through the heats of our desire
All unworthily, Thy coolness and Thy balm;
Hearts, and minds, and hands, and voices Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
In our choicest Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire.
Psalmody. O still small voice of calm!
Amen.

Thine shall ever be. H670
Father. Son, and Holy Spirit,
Blessed Trinity. 1 JESUS Thou soul of all our joys.
Of the best that Thou hast given For whom we now lift up our voice

Render Thee. Vouchsafe the grace we humbly claim,
Amen. Compose into a thankful frame,
And tune Thy people's heart.
H669
2 While in the heavenly work we join,
1 DEAR Lord and Father of man-kind, Thy glory be our whole design,
Forgive our foolish ways; Thy glory, not our own :
Reclothe us in our rightful mind; Still let us keep our end in view,
In purer lives Thy service find, And still the pleasing task pursue,
In deeper reverence, praise. To please our God alone.

2 In simple trust like theirs who heard,

Beside the Syrian sea.
The gracious calling of the Lord,
Let us, like them, without a word
Rise up and follow Thee.

O let it never more steal in,
With them, O Holy Ghost, to Thee we bring
To offend Thy glorious eyes,
An endless Alleluia !
To desecrate our hallowed strain,
And make our solemn service vain,
And mar our sacrifice H672

In setting forth Thy love; Hearts and voices raising
And raise in death our triumph higher, Praises to our King

And with glad songs resounding wake again
Hast gone up on high.
An endless Alleluia !
3 Clearer still, and clearer,
3 There, in one grand acclaim, for ever ring
Dawns the light from heave ;
The strains which tell the honour of your King,
In our sadness bringing
An endless Alleluia !
News of sin forgiven;
Life has lost its shadows.
4 This is the rest for weary ones brought back,
Pure the light within:
This to the food and drink which none shall lack,
Thou hast shed Thy radiance
An endless Alleluia !
On a world of sin.

For ever, and tell out in sweetest lays
Worn by saints before us,

Journeying on to God;
Leaving all behind us,
May we hasten on,
Backward never looking
Till the prize is won.

5 Higher then, and higher,

Bear the ransomed soul,
Earthly tolls forgotten,
Saviour, to its goal;
Where, in joys unthought of, And waits to bless us, while we dream
Saints with angels sing. Thou leav'st us when we turn from Thee.
Never weary, raising
Praises to their King. 2 AII souls that struggle and aspire,
Amen. All hearts of prayer, by Thee are lit;
And, dim or clear, Thy tongues of fire
H6 7 3 On dusky tribes and centuries sit.

1 SUMMER suns are glowing 3 Nor bounds nor clime nor creed Thou know’st,
Over land and sea; Wide as our need Thy favours fall:
Happy light is flowing, The white wings of the Holy Ghost
Bountiful and free. Stoop unseen o'er the heads of all.
Everything rejoices
In the mellow rays: 4 Truth, which the sage and prophet saw,
All earth's thousand voices Long Fought without, but found within,
Swell the psalm of praise. The law of love beyond all law.
The life o'erflooding death and sin.
2 God's free mercy streameth
Over all the world. 5 Shine, Light of God ! Make broad Thy scope
And His banner gleameth, To all who sin and suffer; more
Everywhere unfurled. And better than we dare to hope
Broad, and deep, and glorious. Make with Thy love our longings poor.
As the heaven above, Amen.
Shines in might victorious
His eternal love. H6 7 5
3 Lord, upon our blindness 1 JESUS where'er Thy people meet,
Thy pure radiance pour; There they behold Thy mercy-rest;
For Thy loving-kindness Where'er they seek Thee Thou art found,
Make us love Thee more. And every place is hallowed ground.
And when clouds are drifting
Dark across our sky. 2 For Thou, within no walls confined,
Then, the veil uplifting, Inhabitest the humble mind;
Father, be Thou nigh. Such ever bring Thee where they come,
And going take Thee to their home.
4 We will never doubt Thee,
Though Thou veil Thy light;
Life is dark without Thee,
Death with Thee is bright.
Light of Light, shine O'er us
On our pilgrim way;
Go Thou still before us
To the endless day.
Amen.

Here to our waiting hearts pro-claim 1 WE love the place O God.
The sweetness of Thy saving name. Wherein Thine honour dwells;
The joy of Thine abode

To strengthen faith and sweeten care,
To teach our faint desires to rise, 2 It is the house of prayer.
And bring all heaven before our eyes. Wherein Thy servants meet;

How beautiful they, stand ! In heaven to see Thy face,
The honours of our native place, And with Thy saints adore.

A refuge in distress;
How bright has His salvation shone 1 LORD of the worlds above,
Through all her palaces ! How pleasant and how fair
The dwellings of Thy love,

We'll to His house repair: To Thine abode
We'll think upon His wondrous grace, My heart aspires,
And seek deliverance there, With warm desires
To see my God.

2 O happy souls that pray

Where Clod delights to hear !
O happy men that pay
Their constant service there!
They praise Thee still,
And happy they
Who love the way
To Zion’s hill !
3 They go from strength to strength, 3 Happy souls ! Their praises flow
Through this dark vale of tears, In this vale of sin and woe;
Till each o'ercomes at length, Waters in the desert rise,
Till each in heaven appears: Manna feeds them from the skies.
O glorious seat! O n t h e y g o f r o m s t r e n g t h t o strength,

Our light and our defence : Guide me through a world of sin;
With gifts His hands are filled, Keep me by Thy saving grace;
We draw our blessings thence Give me at Thy side a place.
He shall bestow Sun and shield alike Thou art;
Upon our race Guide and guard my erring heart:
His saving grace, Grace and glory flow from Thee;
And glory too. Shower, O shower them, Lord, on m e !

Alone in Thee!

H679 Within the temple door,
While young and old, in many a band,

In the land of light and love;
Pleasant are Thy courts below, 3 Thither the tribes repair,
In this land of sin and Woe. Where all are wont to meet,
O my spirit longs and faints And joyful in the house of prayer
For the converse of Thy saints, Bend at the mercy-seat.
For the brightness of Thy face,
For Thy fullness, God of grace ! 4 Pray for Jerusalem,
The city of our God;
2 Happy birds that sing and fly The Lord from heaven be kind to them
Round Thy altars, O Most High ! That love the dear abode !
Happier souls that find a rest
In a heavenly Father's breast ! 5 Within these walls may peace

But O the strains, how full and clear,

Yet from the world they break not free;
And some have friends who give them pain. 4 Yet, Lord, to Thy dear will,
Yet have not sought a friend In Thee. If Thou attune the heart,

And Thou hast kept and loved us well,
Hast granted us in Thee to dwell, 6 Lord, on our souls Thy Spirit pour;
Unshaken, unremoved. The moral waste within restore;

And founded on a rock; H701
All her promises are sure;
Count her every precious shrine; 1 Church is one foundation
Tell, to after-ages tell, Jesus Christ her Lord;
Fortified by power divine. She Is His new creation
The Church can never fail. BY water and the word;
from heaven He came and sought her

Who on His love rely; With His own blood He bought her.

Him we claim, and rest in Him. Her charter of salvation
Through all eternity. One Lord, one faith one birth,
One holy name she blesses.
Partakes one holy food,
H700 And to one hope she presses.
With every grace endued.
1 WHO in the Lord confide,
And feel His sprinkled blood, 3 Though with a scornful wonder
In storms and hurricanes abide, Men see her sore oppressed.
Firm as the mount of God: By schisms rent asunder,
Steadfast and fixed and sure, By heresies distressed ;
His Zion cannot move: Yet saints their watch are keeping,
His faithful people stand secure Their cry goes up : How long?
In Jesu's guardian love. And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the mom of song.
2 As round Jerusalem
The hilly bulwarks rise, 4 Mid toil and tribulation,
So God protects and covers them And tumult of her war,
F rom a ll the ir ene mies . She waits the consummation
On every side He stands, Of peace for evermore,
And for His Israel cares; Till with the vision glorious
And safe in His almighty hands Her longing eyes are blest,
Their souls for ever bears. And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.
3 But let them still abide
In Thee, all-gracious Lord. 5 Yet she on earth hath union
Till every soul is sanctified With God the Three in One,
And perfectly restored: And mystic sweet communion
The men of heart sincere With those whose rest won.
Continue to defend; O happy ones and holy !
And do them good, and save them here, Lord, give us grace that we.
And love them to the end. Like them. the meek and lowly,
Oft high may dwell with Thee.
Amen.

From man's primeval youth !
1 CHRIST is our corner stone. How grandly hath thine empire grown
On Him alone we build; Of freedom, love, and truth!
With His true saints alone
T h e c o u r t s o f h e a v e n a r e tilled : 4 How gleam thy watch-fires through the night
On His great love our hopes we place With never-fainting my !
Of present grace and joys above. How rise thy towers, serene and bright
To meet the dawning day !
2 O then with hymns of praise
These hallowed courts shall ring; 5 In vain the surge's angry shock,
Our voices we will raise In vain the drifting sands;
The Three in One to sing, Unharmed upon the eternal
And thus proclaim in joyful song. Rock The eternal City stands.
Both loud and long, that glorious name.

And mark each suppliant sigh; Stands fast the city of the Lord
In copious shower on all who pray None shall rend her walls asunder:
Each holy day Thy blessings pour. On her men look with fear and wonder,
And mark who here keeps watch and ward.

The grace which we implore; Who Big loved Israel keeps.
And may that grace, once given, Hallelujah !
Be with us evermore, Happy the race
Until that day when all the blest Who through God's grace
To endless rest are called away. Shall have in her their dwelling-place !

Of every age and clime.

With which He doth embrace Makes glad the city of our God.
All His people Life, love, and joy still gliding through,
City of God, And watering our divine abode.
How sweet the abode
On which such blessings are bestowed! 5 This sacred stream, Thy vital word,
Thus all our raging fear controls;

Unknown to every other nation; And give new strength to fainting souls.
There great and holy things are heard;
In the midst of thee abiding, 6 Zion enjoys her Monarch's love,
Enlightening, comforting, and guiding. Secure against the threatening hour;
Thou hast the Spirit and the Word; Nor can her firm foundation move,
There breathing peace around Built on His faithfulness and power.

H705 Formed thee for His own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,

Wh en s torms o f sha rp dis tress invade; With salvation's walls surrounded,
Ere we can offer our complaints, Thou may'st smile at all Thy foes.
Behold Him present with His aid !
2 See, the streams of living waters,
2 Let mountains from their seats be hurled Springing from eternal love,
Down to the deep, and buried there, Well supply thy sons and daughters.
Convulsions shake the solid world, And all fear of want remove:
Our faith shall never yield to fear. Who can faint, while such a river
E v e r f l o w s t h e i r , t h i r s t t o assuage?
3 Loud may. the troubled ocean roar; Grace which, like the Lord, the Giver,
In sacred peace our souls abide; Never falls from age to age.
While every nation, every shore.
Trembles, and dreads the swell-ing tide.

I, through grace, a member am.
Let the world deride or pity, H708
I will glory in Thy name:
Fading is the worldling's pleasure, 1 love Thy Kingdom Lord ,
All his boasted pomp and show; The house of Thine abode,
Solid Joys and lasting treasure The Church our blest Redeemer saved
None but Zion's children know. With His own precious blood.

H707 2 We love Thy Church, O God:

Her saints before Thee stand,
1 THOU not made with hands, Dear as the apple of Thine eye,
Not throned above the skies, And graven on Thy hand.
Nor walled with shining walls,
Nor framed with stones of price, 3 For her our tears shall fall,
More bright than gold or gem, For her our prayers ascend.
God's own Jerusalem. To her our cares and toils be g i v e n ,
Till toils and cares shall end.
2 Where'er the gentle heart
Finds courage from above; 4 Beyond our highest joy
Where'er the heart forsook We prize her heavenly ways.
Warms with the breath of love; Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Where faith bids fear depart, Her hymns of love and praise.
City of God, thou art.
5 Jesus, Thou Friend divine,
3 Thou art where'er the proud Our Saviour, and our King,
In humbleness melts down ; Thy hand from every snare and foe
Where self itself yields up; Shall great deliverance bring.
Where martyrs win their crown;
Where faithful souls possess 6 Sure as Thy truth shall last,
Themselves in perfect peace. To Zion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield,
4 Where in life's common ways And brighter bliss of heaven.
With cheerful feet we go ;
Where in His steps we tread H709
Who trod the way of woe;
Where He is in the heart, 1 AN D a r e w e y e t a l i v e ,
City of God, thou art. And see each other's face?
Glory and praise to Jesus give
5 Not throned above the skies, For His redeeming grace !
Nor golden-walled afar,
But where Christ's two or three
In His name gathered are,
Be in the midst of them.
God's own Jerusalem.
Amen.

To full salvation here, T h e S p i r i t o f b u r n i n g n o w impart;
Again in Jesu's praise we join, And let the flames of pure desire
And in His eight appear. Rise from the altar of our heart.
3 What troubles have we seen, 5 Truly our fellowship below
What conflicts have we passed, With Thee and with the Father is:
F i g h t i n g s w i t h o u t , a n d f e a r s within, In Thee eternal life we know,
Since we assembled last ! And heaven's unutterable bliss.
4 But out of all the Lord
Hath brought us by His love: H711
And still He doth His help afford,
And hides our life above. How pleasant how divinely fair,
O L o r d o f H o s t s , T h y d w e l l i n g s are !
5 Then let us make our boast With strong desire my spirit faints
Of His redeeming power, To meet the assemblies of Thy saints.
Which saves us to the uttermost,
Till we ran sin no more: 2 Bleat are the saints that sit on high,
Around Thy throne of majesty:
6 Let us take up the cross, Thy brightest glories shine above,
Till we the crown obtain; And all their work is Praise and love.
And gladly reckon all things loss,
So we may Jesus gain. 3 Blest are the souls that find a place
Within the temple of Thy grace;
Here they behold Thy gentler rays,
H710 And seek Thy face, and learn Thy praise.
1 BRETHREN in Christ and well beloved 4 Bleat are the men whose hearts are set
To Jesus and His servants dear, To find the way to Zion's gate:
Enter, and show yourselves approved; God is their strength, and through the road
Enter, and find that God is here. They lean upon their helper God.
2 Welcome from earth : lo, the right hand 5 Cheerful they walk with growing strength,
Of fellowship to you we give; Till all shall meet in heaven at length;
With open hearts and hands we stand, Till all before Thy face appear.
And you in Jesu's name receive. And Join in nobler worship there.
3 Jesu, Thyself in love reveal :
Are we not met in Thy great name?
Thee in the midst we wait to feel,
We wait to catch the spreading flame.

H712 from all unrighteousness:
Thee the unholy cannot see;

That will not let us part; Every vile affection kill,
Our bodies may far off remove. Root out every seed of iII,
We still are one in heart. Utterly abolish sin,
Write Thy law of love within.
2 Joined in one spirit to our Head,
Where He appoints we go; 4 Hence may all our actions flow.
And still in Jesu's footsteps 'tread, L o v e t h e p r o o f t h a t C h r i s t w e know;
And show His praise below. Mutual love the token be,
Lord, that we belong to Thee
3 O may we ever walk in Him, Love, Thine Image, love impart!
And nothing know beside, Stamp it on our face and heart!
Nothing desire. nothing esteem, Only love to us be given !
But Jesus crucified Lord, we ask no other heaven.
4 Closer and closer let us cleave
To His beloved embrace; H714
Expect His fullness to receive,
And grace to answer grace. 1 HE wants not friends that hath Thy love,
And may converse and walk with Thee,
5 Partakers of the Saviour's grace, A n d w i t h T h y s a i n t s h e r e a n d above.
The same in mind and heart, With whom for ever I must be.
Nor joy, nor grief, nor time, nor place,
Nor life, nor death can part, 2 In the communion of the saints
Is wisdom, safety and delight;
And, when my heart declines and faints,
H713 It's raised by their heat and light !

Let us join our hearts and hands: The several vessels of Thy fleet.
Help to gain our calling's hope, Though parted now, by tempests tost,
Build we each the other Up: Shall safely in the haven meet.
Still forget the things behind,
Follow Christ In heart and mind, 4 Still we are centred all in Thee,
Toward the mark unwearied press, Members, though distant, of one Head;
Seize the crown of righteousness. In the same family we be,
By the same faith and spirit led.
2 While we walk with God in light,
God our hearts doth still unite;
Dearest fellowship we prove,
Fellowship in Jesu's love:
Sweetly each, with each combined,
In the bonds of duty joined,
Feels the cleansing blood applied.
Daily feels that Christ hath died.

Nor cared that we are loved by Thee;
Thy presence we have coldly sought, 4 The day in whose clear-shining light
And feebly longed Thy face to see : All wrong shall stand revealed,
Lord, give a pure and loving heart When justice shall be clothed with might,
To feel and know the Love Thou art. And every hurt be healed

Not less to God belong, And all the acts of love

The silent stars are strong. Into Thy pardoning thought,
O God of mercy, take.

The flags of dawn appear; 4 And most when we, Thy flock,
Before Thine altar bend,
And strange bewildering thoughts
With those sweet moments blend,
By Him whose death we plead,
Good Lord, Thy help extend.

Open Thine eyes and see: W i t h H i m o f e v e r y g o o d p o s sessed.

Proud confessors of the name.

Here we raise Thy Cross above, That only offering perfect in Thine eyes,
Gird us with Thy Spirit's sword. The one true, pure, Immortal sacrifice.

All Thy mind we would fulfill, And only look on us as found in Him;
Loyal to Thy least command, Look not on our m1susings of Thy grace,
Serving Thee with steadfast will. Our prayer so languid, and our faith so dim:
For lo I between our sins and their reward
We set the passion of Thy Son our Lord.
H758
3 And then for those, our dearest and our best,
1 I AM not worthy holy Lord , By this prevailing presence we appeal;
That Thou shouldst come to me; O fold them closer to Thy mercy's breast,

Can set the sinner free. 'Prom tainting mischief keep them white and clear,
And crown Thy gifts with strength to persevere.

The lodging of MY soul; 4 And so we come: O draw us to Thy feet.
How canst Thou deign to enter there? Most patient Saviour, who canst love us still;
Lord, speak, and make me whole. And by this food, so awful and so sweet,
Deliver us from every touch of ill:
3 I am not worthy; yet, my God,
How can I star Thee nay,

My ransom-price to pay?

Feed me with food divine;

And Thou hast brought us here.

From Thy high and lofty throne, Of everlasting love.

So foul, so self-abhorred, 1 IN memory of the Saviour's love
Thee, my God, to entertain We keep the sacred feast.
In this poor polluted heart: Where every humble, contrite heart
I, a frail and sinful man; Is made a welcome guest.
All my nature cries: Depart !
2 By faith we take the bread of life
3 Yet come, Thou heavenly Guest, With which our souls are fed,
And purify my breast; The cup in token of His blood
Come, Thou great and glorious King, That was for sinners shed.
While before Thy Cross I bow;

Cleanse the house by entering now. The wonders of His love.
Amen. And thus anticipate by faith
The heavenly feast above.

Thy last and kindest word; 1 ACCORDING to Thy gracious word ,
Here, in Thine own appointed way, In meek humility,
We come to meet Thee, Lord. This Will I do, my dying Lord,
I Will remember Thee.
2 Our hearts we open wide,
To make the Saviour room: 2 Thy body, broken for my sake,
And lo I the Lamb, the Crucified. My bread from heaven shall be:
The sinner's Friend, to come. Thy testamental cup I take.
And thus remember Thee.
3 Thy presence makes the feast:
Now let our spirits feel 3 When to the Cross I turn mine eyes,
The glory not to be expressed. And rest on Calvary,
The joy unspeakable. O Lamb of God, my sacrifice,
I must remember Thee
4 Remember Thee, and all Thy pains, H766
And all Thy love to me;
Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains, 1 BE known to us in breaking bread,
Will I remember Thee. But do not then depart;
Saviour, abide with us, and spread
5 And when these failing lips grow dumb, Thy table in our heart,
And mind and memory flee,
When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come, 2 There sup with us in love divine;
Jesus, remember me. Thy body and Thy blood,

Be our immortal food. Amen.

As now for guilty sinners slain:

This blest cup of sacrifice : All prevalent for helpless man;
'Tis Thy wounds my healing give; Thy blood is still our ransom found.
To Thy Cross I look and live: And speaks salvation all around.

2 While in penitence we kneel,
Thy sweet presence let us feel, 1 HERE O my Lord I see Thee face to face;
All Thy wondrous love reveal. Here would I touch and handle things unseen,
Here grasp with firmer hand the eternal grace,
3 While on Thy dear Cross we gaze, And all my weariness upon Thee lean.
Mourning o'er our sinful ways,
Turn our sadness into praise.

4 When we taste the mystic wine,

Of Thine outpoured blood the sign,
Fill our hearts with love divine.

5 Draw us to Thy wounded side,

Whence there flowed the healing tide;
Them our sins and sorrows hide.

6 Prom the bonds of sin release,

Cold and wavering faith increase.
Lamb of God, grant us Thy peace.
2 Here would I feed upon the bread of God. And show the death of our dear Lord
Here drink with Thee the royal wine of heaven; Until He come.
Here would I lay aside each earthly load,
Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven. 2 His body, broken in our stead,
Is here in this memorial bread,
3 This is the hour of banquet and of song: And so our feeble love is fed
This is the heavenly table spread for me; Until He come.
Here let me feast, and, feasting, still prolong
The brief, bright hour of fellowship with Thee 3 The drops of His dread agony,
His life-blood shed for us, we see;

Another arm save Thine to lean upon ; Until He come.
It is enough, my Lord, enough Indeed;
My strength Is In Thy might Thy might alone. 4 And thus that dark betrayal night
With the last advent we unite

Mine is the guilt, but Thine the cleansing blood; Until He come.
Here is my robe, my refute, and my peace
Thy blood, Thy righteousness, O Lord, my God. 5 O blessed hope! With this elate,
Let not our hearts be desolate,

And pray for these before Thee now,
Christ redeemed in Christ restored , That, closely knit in holy vow,
We keep the memory adored, They may in Thee be one.

2 When days are filled with pure delight,

When paths are plain and skies are bright,
Walking by faith and not by sight,
May they in Thee be one.
3 When stormy winds fulfill Thy will,
7 O spread Thy pure wings o'er them !
And all their good seems turned to ill,
Let no ill power find place,
Then, trusting Thee completely, still
When onward through Life's Journey
May they in Thee be one.
The hallowed path they trace,
4 Whate'er in life shall be their share
8 To cast their crowns before Thee.
Of quickening joy or burdening care,
In perfect sacrifice,
In power to do and grace to bear,
Till to the home of gladness
May they in Thee be one.
With Christ's own bride they rise.

In Thee for ever may they hide. H776
For even death cannot divide

Those whom Thou makest one.
Whose wisdom, love, and power
First bound two lives together

To-day to these Thy children
1 THE voice that breathed o'er Eden , Thine earliest gifts renew:
That earliest wedding-day, A home by Thee made happy,
The primal marriage blessing A love by Thee kept true.
It hath not passed away.

Of Christian man and maid Vouchsafe to-day Thy Presence
The Holy Three are with us, With those who call on Thee;
The three fold grace is said, Their store of earthly gladness
Transform to heavenly wine,

For love and faith's sweet sake, To know the gift is Thine.
For high mysterious union
Which nought on earth may break. 3 O Spirit of the Father.
Breathe on them from above.
4 Be present, heavenly Father, So mighty In Thy pureness,
To give away this bride, So tender In Thy love,
As Eve Thou gav'st to Adam That, guarded by Thy presence.
Out of his own pierced aide. From sin and strife kept free,
Their lives may own Thy guidance ,
5 Be present, gracious Saviour, Their hearts be ruled by Thee.
To join their loving hands,
As Thou didst bind two natures 4 Except Thou build it father,
In Thine eternal bands. The house is built in vain;
Except Thou, Saviour, bless it,
6 Be present, Holy Spirit. The Joy will turn to Pain:
To bless them as they kneel, But nought can break the union
As Thou for Christ the Bridegroom Of hearts in Thee made one;
The heavenly spouse dost seal. And love Thy Spirit hallows
Is endless love begun.

That hear this Joyful sound,
1 O PERFECT Love all human thought transcending, Which kings and prophets waited for,
Lowly we kneel in prayer before Thy throne. And sought, but never found.
That theirs may be the love which knows no ending
Whom Thou for evermore dost Join in one. 4 How blessed are our eyes
That see this heavenly light,
2 O perfect Life, be Thou their full assurance Prophets and kings desired long.
Of tender charity and steadfast faith. But died without the sight.
Of patient hope. and quiet brave endurance,
With childlike trust that fears nor pain nor death. 5 The watchmen join their voice,
And tuneful notes employ;

Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife; And deserts learn the Joy.

That dawns upon eternal love a nd l i fe . Ame n . 6 The Lord makes bare His arm
Through all the earth abroad
Let all the nations now behold

1 LORD speak to me that I may speak 1 SHINE Thou upon us Lord ,
In living echoes of Thy tone; True Light of men to-day;
As Thou hast sought so let me seek And through the written word
Thy erring children lost and lone. Thy very self display;
That so, from hearts which burn 3 The love of Christ doth me constrain
With gazing on Thy face, To seek the wandering souls of men;
The little ones may learn With cries, entreaties, team to save,
The wonders of Thy grace. To snatch them from the gaping grave.

2 Breathe Thou upon us, Lord, 4 My life, my blood, I here present,

Thy Spirit's living flame, If for Thy truth they may be spent .
That so with one accord Fulfill Thy sovereign counsel, Lord;
Our lips may tell Thy name; Thy will be done, Thy name adored.
Give Thou the hearing ear.
Fix Thou the wandering thought, 5 Give me Thy strength, O God of power;
That those we teach may hear Then, let winds blow or thunders roar,
The great things Thou hest wrought. Thy faithful witness will I be:
'Tis fixed; I can do all through Thee !

In all we say of Thee; H784
According to Thy Word
Let all our teaching be; 1 WHAT shall we offer our good Lord ,
That so Thy lambs may know Poor nothings for His boundless grace?
Their own true Shepherd's voice, Pain would we His great name record
Where'er He leads them go, And worthily set forth His praise.
And in His love rejoice.
2 Great object of our growing love,
4 Live Thou within us, Lord; To whom our more than all we owe.
Thy mind and will be ours; Open the fountain from above,
Be Thou beloved, adored. And let it our full souls o'erflow.
And served, with all our powers ;
That so our lives may teach 3 So Shall our lives Thy power proclaim,
Thy children what Thou art, Thy grace for every sinner free;
And plead by more than speech, Till all mankind shall learn, Thy name,
For Thee with every heart. Shall all stretch out their hands to Thee.

1 SHALL I for fear of feeble man
The Spirit's course in me restrain?
Or, undismayed, in deed and word
Be a true witness for my Lord?

Doth all my inmost thoughts descry;
Doth aught on earth my wishes raise,
Or the world's pleasures or its praise?

May strive to shut, but strive in vain;
Let Thy word richly in us dwell, 1 LORD grant us like the watching five ,
A n d l e t o u r g r a c i o u s f r u i t remain. To wait Thy coming, and to strive
Each one her lamp to trim;
5 O multiply the sower's seed ! And, since the oil Thou dost impart,
And fruit we every hour shall bear, Pour daily grace into each heart,
Throughout the world Thy gospel spread. Lest any lamp grow dim.
Thy everlasting truth declare.
2 May we not wait in selfish sloth,
6 We all, in perfect love renewed, But mingle prayer and work, that both
Shall know the greatness of Thy power, May trim the shining light;
Stand In the temple of our God So from the midnight of their sin
As pillars, and go out no more. May many, with us, enter in.
To banquet in Thy sight.

For feeding famished souls we own, Answer our faith's effectual prayer,
And bring it, Lord, to Thee; And all our wants supply.
Our want received into Thy hand
Shall rich abundance prove, 2 On Thee we humbly wait;
Answer the multitude's demand, Our wants are in Thy view:
And fill them with Thy love. The harvest truly, Lord, is great;
Amen. The labourers are few.

Into Thy church abroad:
And let them speak Thy word of power,
As workers with their God.

The word of general grace; TO rouse us, O Lord, from slumber of sin;
Thee let them preach, the common Lord, The lights Thou hast kindled in darkness around,
The Saviour of our race. O may they illumine our spirits within !

5 O let them spread Thy name, 6 All honour and praise, dominion and might,
Their mission fully prove, To God Three in One eternally be;
Thy universal grace proclaim, Who round us hath shed His marvellous light,
Thy al-redeeming love ! And called us from darkness His glory to see

1 DISPOSER Supreme and Judge of the earth. 1 FORGET them not O Christ who stand
Who choosest for Thine the weak and the poor: Thy vanguard in the distant land,
To frail earthen vessels and things of no worth
Entrusting Thy riches, which aye shall endure: 2 In flood, in flame, in dark, in dread,
Sustain, we pray, each lifted head.
2 Those vessels soon fail, though full of Thy light,
And at Thy decree are broken and gone; 3 Exalt them over every fear,
Then brightly appeareth Thy truth in its might. In peril come Thyself more near.
As through the clouds riven the lightnings have shone.
4 Thine is the work they strive to do,
3 Like clouds are they borne to do Thy great will, Their foes so many, they so few.
And swift as the winds about the world go;
The word with His wisdom their spirits doth fill. 6 Be with Thine own, Thy loved, who stand,
They thunder, they lighten, the waters O’erflow. Christ's vanguard, in the storm-swept land.

4 Their sound goeth forth: Christ Jesus is Lord ! H790

Then Satan cloth fear, his citadels fall
As when the dread trumpets went forth at Thy word, 1 LOOK from Thy sphere of endless day ,
And one long blast shattered the Canaanite's wall. In Pity look on those who stray
Benighted in this land of light.
2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen, 3 Thou, only Thou. the kind and good
In crowded mart, by stream or sea, And sheep-redeeming Shepherd art :
How many of the sons of men Collect Thy flock, and give them food,
Hear not the message sent from Thee. And Pastors after Thine own heart.

3 Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call 4 Give the Pure word of general grace,
The thoughtless young, the hardened old, And great shall be the preachers' crowd;
A scattered homeless flock, till all Preachers, who all the sinful race
Be gathered to Thy Peaceful fold, Point to the all-atoning blood.

4 Send them Thy mighty word to speak, 5 Open their mouth, and utterance give;
Till faith shall dawn and doubt depart, Give them a trumpet-voice, to call
To awe the bold, to stay the weak, On all mankind to turn and live.
And bind and heal the broken heart. Through faith in Him who died for all.

5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene, 6 Thy only glory let them seek;
That make us sadden as we gaze, O let their hearts with love o'er-now !
Shall grow, with living waters, green, Let them believe, and therefore speak,
And lift to heaven the voice of praise. And spread Thy mercy's praise below.

Where angels soon shall gather In every heart reign Thou alone,
Their sheaves of golden grain, Till all Thy foes confess Thy away,
Accept these hands to labour, And glory ends what grace begun.
These hearts to trust and love,
And deign with them to hasten 3 Spirit of grace, and health, and power,
Thy kingdom from above. Fountain of light and love below,
A br oad Thy h ea li ng in f lu ence shower,
2 As labourers in Thy vineyard, O'er fill the nations let it flow.
Lord, send them out to be,
Content to bear the burden 4 Inflame our hearts with perfect love,
Of weary days for Thee, In us the work of faith fulfill;
Content to ask no wages call So not heaven's host shall swifter move
When Thou shalt call them home, Than we on earth, to do Thy will.
But to have shared the travail
That makes Thy kingdom come. 5 Blessing and honour, praise and love,
Co--equal, co-eternal Three,
3 Be with them, God the father, In earth below, and heaven above,
Be with them. God the Son, By all works be paid to Thee.
Be with them, God the Spirit,
Eternal Three in One ! 6 Thrice Holy ! Thine the kingdom is,
Make them a royal priesthood, The power omnipotent is Thine; And when
Thee rightly to adore, created nature dies,
And fill them with Thy fullness Thy never-ceasing glories shine.
Now and for evermore.
Amen.

When the Bridegroom shall appear;
Waking up. to claim the treasure 3 Little hands. whose wondrous skill
With Thy precious life-blood bought, Thou hast given to do Thy will,
And to trust in fuller measure Offerings bring, and serve with fear
All Thy wondrous death hath wrought. Gods that cannot see or hear.

2 Praise to Thee for this glad shower, 4 Teach them, O Thou heavenly King,
Precious drops of latter rain: All their gifts and praise to bring
Praise, that by Thy Spirit's power To Thy Son, who died to prove
Thou hast quickened us again; Thy forgiving, saving love.
That Thy gospel's priceless treasure
Now in borne from land to land,
And that all the Father's pleasure
Prospers in Thy pierced hand.

Praising the Lord in whom young lives are strong, And the reapers are few;
Jesus our Guide, our Hero, and our Friend. We children are willing,
But what can we do
2 Where Thy wide ocean, wave on rolling wave, To work for our Lord in His harvest?
Beats through the ages, on each island shore,
They praise their Lord, whose hand alone can save, 2 Our hands are so small,
Whose sea of love surrounds them evermore. And our words are so weak:
We cannot teach others,
3 Thy sun-kissed children on earth's spreading plain, How then shall we seek
Where Asia's rivers water all the land, To work for our Lord in His harvest?
Sing, as they watch Thy fields of glowing grain,
Praise to the Lord who feeds them with His hand. 3 We'll work by our prayers.
By the offerings we bring,
4 Still there are lands where none have seen Thy face. By small self-denials;
Children whose hearts have never shared Thy Joy; The least little thing
Yet Thou wouldst pour on these Thy radiant grace, May work for our Lord in His harvest :
Give Thy glad strength to every girl and boy.
4 Until by and by,
5 AII round the world let children sing Thy song: As the years pass, at length
From East read West their voices sweetly blend, We too may be reapers,
Praising the Lord in whom young lives am strong, And go forth in strength,

And myriad, myriad human voices sing,
H809 And earth to heaven, and heaven to earth, will answer:
At last the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is King !
1 I CANNOT tell why He, whom angels worship,
Should set His love upon the sons of men,
Or why, as Shepherd, He should seek the wanderers,
To bring them back, they know not how or when.
But this I know, that He was born of Mary,
When Bethlehem's manger was His only home.
And that He lived at Nazareth and laboured,
And so the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is come.

As with His peace He graced this place of tears,

A kingly crown to gain;
2 Isles of the Southern seas, His blood-red banner streams afar
Deep in your coral caves Who follows In His train?
Pent be each warring breeze, Who best ran drink his cup of woe,
Lulled be your restless waves: Triumphant over pain,
He comes to reign with boundless sway, Who patient bears his cross below,
And make your wastes His great highway. He follows in His train.

3 Lands of the East, awake, 2 The martyr first, whose ea g le eye

Soon shall your sons be free; Could pierce beyond the grave,
The sleep of ages break, Who saw his Master in the sky,
And rise to liberty : And called on Him to save;
On your far hills, long cold and grey, Like Him, with pardon on his tongue
Has dawned the everlasting day. In midst of mortal pain.
He prayed for them that did the wrong:
4 Shores of the utmost West, Who follows in his train?
Ye that have waited long,
Unvisited, unblest, 3 A glorious band, the chosen few
Break forth to swelling song On whom the Spirit came,
High raise the note, that Jesus died, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew,
Yet lives and reigns--the Crucified! And mocked the cross and flame:
They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
5 Shout while ye Journey home, The lion's gory mane,
Songs be in every mouth; They bowed their necks the death to feel :
Lo ! from the North welcome, Who follows in their train?
From East, and West, and South,
City of God, the bond are free; 4 A noble army, men and boys,
We come to live and reign in thee, The matron and the maid,
Around the Saviour's throne rejoice.
In robes of light arrayed;
They climbed the steep ascent of heaven,
Through peril, toll, and pain:
O God, to us may grace be given
To follow in their train.

And still the captives pine;

They cast them down before their Lord : Merciful Father, grant us this

Safe landed on that blissful shore, 2 Chieftains they were, who warred
N o s t o r m y t e m p e s t s n o w t h e y dread, With sword and shield;
No roaring billows lift their head Victors for God the Lord
O happy saints ! For ever blest, On foughten field.
In that calm haven of their rest.

'Mid hate and scorn,
A life of pleasure's dearth,
A death forlorn;

And those sad days;
Only man's blame below;
Above—God's praise.

Fling open wide the golden gates, And the kingdoms of this world
And let the victors in. Are the kingdoms of His Son.

Fills all the earth and sky ! With illimitable sway:
What ringing of a thousand harps He shall reign when, like a scroll,

O day for which creation Then the end—beneath His rod
And all its tribes were made ! Man's last enemy shall fan;
O Joy, for all its former woes Hallelujah ! Christ in God.
A thousand-fold repaid ! God in Christ, is all in all.

3 Fair leaves of silvery olive
I WHEN His salvation bringing , They strewed upon the ground,
To Zion Jesus came, Whilst Salem's circling mountains
The children all stood singing Echoed the joyful sound.
Hosanna to His name: The Lord of men and angels
Nor did their zeal offend Him, Rode on in lowly state,
But, as He rode along, Nor scorned that little children
He let them still attend Him. Should on His bidding wait.
And smiled to hear their song.
4 Hosanna In the highest !
2 And, since the Lord retaineth That ancient song we sing;
His love for children still, For Christ Is our Redeemer,
Though now as King He reigneth The Lord of heaven our King:
On Zion's heavenly hill, O may we ever praise Him,
We'll flock around His banner With heart and life and voice,
Who sits upon the throne, And in His blissful presence
And cry aloud: Hosanna Eternally rejoice.
To David's royal Son ! Amen.
3 For, should we fail proclaiming
Our great Redeemer's praise, H837
The stones, our silence shaming,
Would their hosannas raise. 1 CHILDREN of Jerusalem
But shall we only render Sang the praise of Jesu's name:
The tribute of our words? Children, too. of modern days,
No! while our hearts are tender. Join to sing the Saviour's praise.
They too shall be the Lord's. Hark! While infant voices sing
Loud hosannas to our King.
2 We are taught to love the Lord, 2 There's a home for little children
We are taught to read His Word, Above the bright blue sky,
We are taught the way to heaven: Where Jesus reigns in glory.
Praise for all to God be given. A home of peace and joy.
No home on earth is like it,
3 Parents, teachers, old and young, Or can with it compare;
All unite to swell the song; For every one is happy,
Higher and yet higher rise, Nor could be happier, there.
Till hosannas reach the skies.
3 There's a song for little children
H838 Above the bright blue sky,
A song that will riot weary
1 JESUS high in glory , Though sung continually,
Lend a listening ear; A song which even angels
When we bow before Thee, Can never, never sing:
Children's praises hear. They know not Christ as Saviour
But worship Him as King.
2 Though Thou art so holy,
Heaven's almighty King, 4 There's a robe for little children
Thou wilt stoop to listen Above the bright blue sky,
When Thy Praise we sing. And a harp of sweetest music,
And a palm of victory.
3 We are little children, All, all above is treasured,
Weak and apt to stray; And found In Christ alone;
Saviour, guide and keep us O come, dear little children,
In the heavenly way. That all may be your own.

4 Save us, Lord, from sinning; H840

Watch us day by day;
Help us now to love Thee; 1 GOD my Father loving me ,
Take our sins away. Gave His Son, my friend to be
Gave His Son, my form to take.
5 Then, when Thou shalt call us Bearing all things for my sake.
To our heavenly home,
We will gladly answer: 2 Jesus still remains the same
Saviour, Lord, we come ! As in days of old He camp;
As my brother by my side,
H839 Still He reeks my steps to guide.

1 THERE'S a F r i e n d f o r l i t t l e children 3 How can I repay Thy love,

Above the bright blue sky, Lord of all the hosts above?
A Friend who never changeth. What have I, a child, to bring Unto Thee,
Whose love can never die. Thou heavenly King?
Unlike our friends by nature,
Who change with changing years, 4 I have but myself to give:
This Friend is always worthy Let me to Thy glory live;
The precious name He bears. Let me follow, day by day,
Where Thou showest me the way.
H841 6 Thou didst live to God alone:
Thou didst never seek Thine own:
1 JESUS Friend of little children , Thou Thyself didst never please:
Be a Friend to me; God was all Thy happiness.
Take my hand and ever keep me
Close to Thee. 7 Loving Jesus, gentle Lamb,
In Thy gracious hands I am:
2 Teach me how to grow in goodness Make me, Saviour, what Thou art;
Daily as I grow; Live Thyself within my heart.
Thou hast been a Child and surely
Thou dost know. 8 I shall then show forth Thy praise,
3 Step by step, O lead me onward, Serve Thee all my happy days;
Upward into youth; Then the world shall always see
Wiser, stronger, still becoming Christ, the holy Child, in me.
In Thy truth.
H843
4 Never leave me nor forsake me,
Ever be my Friend, 1 IN our dear Lord's garden,
For I need Thee from life's dawning Planted here below,
To its end. Many tiny flowerets
Amen. In sweet beauty grow.

H842 2 Christ, the loving Gardener,

Tends these blossoms small;
1 GENTLE Jesus meek and mild , Loves the little lilies
Look upon a little child. As the cedars tall.
Pity my simplicity,
Buffer me to come to Thee. 3 Nothing is too little
For His gentle care;
2 Fain I would to Thee be brought; Nothing is too lowly
Gracious Lord, forbid it not; In His love to share.
In the kingdom of Thy grace
Give a little child a place. 4 Jesus loves the children,
Children such as we;
3 Fain I would be as Thou art; Blest them when their mothers
Give me Thy obedient heart: Brought them to His knee.
Thou art pitiful and kind;
Let me have Thy loving mind. 5 Jesus calls the children.
Bids them come and stand
4 Let me above all fulfill In His pleasant garden,
God my heavenly Father's will; Watered by Big hand.
Never His good Spirit grieve,
Only to His glory live. 6 Lord, Thy call we answer
Take us in Thy care;
5 Lamb of God, I look to Thee; Train us in Thy garden,
Thou shalt my example be: In Thy work to share.
Thou art gentle, meek, and mild;
Thou wast once a little child.

H844
1 Lord when we have not any light ,
1 JESUS tender Shepherd hear me ; And mothers are asleep,
Bless Thy little lamb to-night; Then through the stillness of the night
Through the darkness be Thou near me; Thy little children keep.
Keep me safe till morning light.
2 When shadows haunt the quiet room,
2 All this day Thy hand has led me, Help us to understand
And I thank Thee for Thy care; That Thou art with us through the gloom,
Thou hast clothed me, warmed and fed me; To hold us by the hand.
Listen to my evening prayer.
3 And though we do not always see
3 Let my sins be all forgiven; The holy angels near,
Bless the friends I love so well, O may we trust ourselves to Thee.
Take me, when I die, to heaven Nor have one foolish fear.
Happy there with Thee to dwell.
Amen. 4 So in the morning may we wake,
When wakes the kindly sun,
H845 More loving for our Father's sake
To each unloving one.
1 GOD make my life a little light
Within the world to glow; H847
A little flame that burneth, bright,
Wherever I may go. 1 O JESUS we are well and strong ,
And we can run about and play;
2 God make my life a little flower But there are children who are sick,
That giveth joy to all, And have to lie in bed all day.
Content to bloom in native bower,
Although the place be small. 2 We thank Thee for our health and strength;
And, loving Lord, we pray Thee bless
3 God make my life a little song The children who are weak and ill
That comforteth the sad, And suffer pain and weariness.
That helpeth others to be strong,
And makes the singer glad. 3 Lord, give us thoughtful, loving hearts,
Show us kind deeds which may be done
4 God make my life a little staff By us, for Jesu's sake, to help
Whereon the weak may rest, Some sad or suffering little one.
That so what health and strength Amen.
I have
May serve my neighbours best.

5 God make my life a little hymn

Of tenderness and praise,
Of faith, that never waxeth dim,
In all His wondrous ways.
 2 When in danger, make me brave:
H848 Make me know that Thou cant save;
Keep me safe by Thy dear side;
1 HUSHED was the evening hymn Let me in Thy love abide.
The temple courts were dark:
The lamp was burning dim 3 When I'm tempted to do wrong,
Before the sacred ark, M a k e m e s t e a d f a s t , w i s e a m strong;
When suddenly a voice divine And when all alone I stand,
Rang through the silence of the shrine. Shield me with Thy mighty hand
2 The old man, meek and mild. 4 When my heart is full of glee,
The priest of Israel, slept; Help me to remember Thee,
His watch the temple child, Happy most of all to know
The little Levite, kept : That my Father loves me so.
And what from Eli's sense was sealed
The Lord to Hannah's son revealed, 5 When my work seems hard and dry
May I press on cheerily;
3 O give me Samuel's ear, Help me patiently to bear
The open ear, O Lord, Pain and hardship, toil and care.
Alive and quick to hear
Each whisper of Thy word; 6 May I see the good and bright
Like him to answer at Thy call, When they pass before my sight
And to obey Thee first of all. May I hear the heavenly voice
When the pure and wise rejoice.
4 O give me Samuel's heart, Amen.
A lowly heart, that waits
Where in Thy house Thou art
Or watches at Thy gates H850
By day and night -- a heart that still
Moves at the breathing of Thy will. 1 LOOKING upward every day ,
Sunshine on our faces;
5 O give me Samuel's mind, Pressing onward every day
A sweet unmurmuring faith, Toward the heavenly places.
Obedient and resigned
To Thee in life and death, 2 Growing every day in awe,
That I may mad with childlike eyes For Thy name is holy;
Truths that are hidden from the wise. Learning every day to love
With a love more lowly.
H849 3 Walking every day more close
To our elder Brother;
1 FATHER lead me day by day Growing every day more true
Ever in Thine own sweet way; Unto one another.
Teach me to be pure and true,
Show me what I ought to do. 4 Every clay more gratefully
Kindnesses receiving,
Every day more readily
Injuries forgiving.
5 Lord, so pray we every day, 3 I love to watch the swallow skim
Hear us in Thy pity, The river in his flight;
That we enter in at last To mark, when day is growing dim,
To the holy City. The glow-worm's silvery light,
Amen.
4 The sea-gull whiter than the foam,
H851 T he f is h tha t dar t b ene a th ;
The lowing cattle coming home;
1 ALL things bright and beautiful , The goats upon the heath.
AII creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful, 5 Beneath His heaven there s room for all;
The Lord God made them all. H e gi v es to a i l the ir me a t :
He sees the meanest sparrow fail
2 Each little flower that opens, Unnoticed in the street.
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours, 6 Almighty Father, King of kings,
He made Their tiny wings. The Lover of the meek,
All, things- Make me a friend of helpless things.
Defender of the weak.
3 The purple-headed mountain, Amen.
The river running by,
The sunset, and the morning H853
That brightens up the sky.
All things- 1 A LITTLE child may know
O u r Father's name of Love;
4 The cold wind in the winter, 'Tis written on the earth below.
The pleasant summer sun, And on the sky above.
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one. 2 Around me when I look,
All things His handiwork I see;
This world is like a picture book
5 He gave us eyes to see them, To teach His name to me.
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty. 3 The thousand little flowers
Who has made all things we'll. Within our garden found,
All things-- The rainbow and the soft spring showers,
And every pleasant round.
H852
4 The birds that sweetly ring,
1 ALL things which live below the s k y , T h e m o o n t h a t s h i n e s b y night;
Or move within the sea, With every tiny living thing
Are creatures of the Lord most high, Rejoicing in the light.
And brothers unto me.
5 And every star above,
2 I love to hear the robin sing, Set in the deep blue sky,
Perched on the highest bough: All tell me that our God Is love,
To see the rook with purple wing All tell me He is nigh.
Follow the shining plough
H854 2 He kept His Father's word of truth,
As I am caught to do;
1 IT is a thing most wonderful , And while He walked the paths of youth,
Almost .too wonderful to be, He walked in wisdom too.
That God's own Son should come from heaven,
And die to save a child like me. 3 I love to think that He who snake
And made the blind to see,
2 And yet I know that it is true: And called the sleeping dead to wake,
He chose a poor and humble lot, Was once a child like me.
And wept and tolled and mourned and died,
For love of ,those who loved Him not. 4 That He who wore the chorny crown,
And tasted death's despair,
3 I sometimes think about the Cross, Had a kind mother like my own,
And shut my eyes and try to see And knew her love and care.
The cruel nails and crown of thorns,
And Jesus crucified for me. 5 I know 'twas all for love of me
That He became a child,
4 But even could I see Him die, And left the heavens, go fair to see,
I could but see a little part And trod earth's pathway wild.
Of that great love which like a fire
Is always burning In His heart. 6 Then, Saviour, who wast once a child,
A child may come to Thee;
5 I cannot tell how He could love And O in all Thy mercy mild,
A child so weak and full of sin; Dear Saviour, come to me !
His love must be most wonderful, Amen.
If He could die my love to win.
H856
6 It is most wonderful to know
His love for me so free and sure: 1 I LOVE to hear the story
But 'tis more wonderful to see Which angel voices tell
My love for Him so faint and poor. How once the King of Glory
Came down on earth to dwell.
7 And yet I want to love Thee, Lord: I am both weak and sinful,
O light the flame within my heart, But this I surely know:
And I will love Thee more and more, The Lord came down to save me,
Until I see Thee as Thou art. Because He loved me so.

H855 2 I'm glad my blessed Saviour

Was once a child like me,
1 I LOVE to think though I am young , To show how pure and holy
My Saviour was a child: His little ones might be;
That Jesus walked this earth along, And If I try to follow
With feet all undefiled. His footsteps here below,
He never will forsake me,
Because He loves me go.
3 To sing His love and mercy 2 First let me hear how the children
My sweetest songs I'll raise; Stood round His knee;
And though I cannot see Him, And I shall fancy His blessing
I know He hears my praise Resting on me:
For He has kindly promised Words full of kindness,
That even I may go Deeds full of grace,
To sing among His angels, All in the love-light
Because He loves me so. Of Jesu's face.

3 Tell how the sparrow that twitters

H857 On yonder tree
And the sweet meadow-side lily
1 G OD has given us a Book full of stories,
May speak to me;
Which was made for His people of old.
Give me their message,
It begins with the tale of a garden,
For I would hear
And ends with the city of gold.
How Jesus taught us
Our Father's care.
2 But the best is the story of Jesus,
Of the Babe with the ox in the stall,
4 Tell me, in accents of wonder,
Of the song that was sung by the angels,
How rolled the sea,
The most beautiful story of all.
Tossing the boat in a tempest On Galilee;
And how the Master,
3 There are stories for parents and children,
Ready and kind,
For the old who are ready to rest,
Chided the billows
But for all who can read them or listen,
And hushed the wind.
The story of Jesus is best.
5 Into the city I'd follow
4 For it tells how He came from the Father,
The children's band,
His far-away children to call,
Waving a branch of the palm-tree
To bring the lost sheep to their Shepherd,
High in my hand;
The most beautiful story of all.
One of His heralds,
Yes, I would sing
H858 Loudest hosannas !
Jesus is King !
1 TELL me the stories of Jesus
I love to hear; 6 Show me that scene, in the Garden,
Things I would ask Him to tell me Of bitter pain;
If He were here : And of the Cross where my Saviour
Scenes by the wayside, For me was slain:
Tales of the sea, Sad ones or bright ones,
Stories of Jesus, So that they be,
Tell them to me. Stories of Jesus,
Tell them to me.
H859 2 The cattle are lowing. the Baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes,
1 ONCE in royal David's city I love Thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,
Stood a lowly cattle-shed, And stay by my side until morning is nigh.
Where a mother laid her baby
In a manger for His bed, 3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay,
Mary was that mother mild, Close by me for ever, and love me, I pray.
Jesus Christ her little child. Bless all the dear children In Thy tender care,
And fit us for heaven, to live with Thee there.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all, H861
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall. 1 COME little children I pray ye come all.
With the poor, and mean, and lowly And join with the shepherds at Bethlehem's stall;
Lived on earth our Saviour holy. There see what the Father, to do us delight,
3 And through all His wondrous childhood Hath sent to the earth on this glorious night.
He would honour and obey,
Love, and watch the lowly maiden 2 O bow, little children, O bend low and pray,
In whose gentle arms He lay, With little hands folded thank God, as did they:
Christian children all must be Sing lustily, children, with glad tuneful voice,
Mild, obedient, good as He. O sing with the angels, and like them rejoice!

4 For He is our childhood's pattern H862

Day by day like us He grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless; 1 WISE men seeking Jesus ,
Tears and smiles like us He knew: Travelled from afar,
And He feeleth for our sadness, Guided on their journey
And He shareth in our gladness. By a beauteous star

5 And our eyes at last shall see Him,

Through His own redeeming love;
For that child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above;
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone.

H860
1 WAY in a manger no crib for a bed ,
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay.
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
 All singing Glory, glory
2 But if we desire Him,
In festival they keep.
He is close at hand;
For our native country
4 Christ watches me, His little lamb,
Is our Holy Land.
Cares for me day and night,
That I may be His own in heaven:
3 Prayerful souls may find Him
So angels clad in white
By our quiet lakes,
Shall sing their Glory, glory
Meet Him on our hillsides
For my sake in the height.
When the morning breaks.
5 Lord, bring me nearer day by day,
4 In our fertile cornfields
Till I my voice unite,
While the sheaves are bound,
And sing my Glory, glory
In our busy markets,
With angels clad in white,
Jesus may be found.
All Glory, glory given, to Thee
Through all the heavenly height.
5 Fishermen talk with Him
By the great North Sea,
As the first disciples H864
Did in-Galilee.
1 REMEMBER all the people
6 Every peaceful village Who live in far-off lands,
In our land might be In strange and lovely cities,
Made by Jesu's presence Or roam the desert sands,
Like sweet Bethany. Or farm the mountain pastures,
Or till the endless plains
7 He is more than near us, Where children wade through rice-fields
If we love Him well; And watch the camel-trains:
For He seeketh ever
In our hearts to dwell. 2 Some work in sultry forests
Where apes swing to and fro,
Some fish in mighty rivers,
H863 Some hunt across the snow.
Remember all God's children,
1 THE shepherds had an angel ,

The wise men had a star;
The truth that comes from Jesus,
But what have I, a little child,
The glory of His word.
To guide me home from far,
Where glad stars sing together,

And singing angels are?
Who serve Him oversee;

To met the nations free;
So I can nothing lack :
Till all the distant people
The lambs lie In His bosom,
In every foreign place
Along life's dangerous track:
Shall understand His Kingdom
Thy willful lambs that go astray
And come into His grace.

When Jesus was here among men,
T h e i r c h i l d r e n b r o u g h t t o Jesus.
How He called little children as lambs to His fold,
The stern disciples drove them back
I should like to have been with them then;
And bade them depart:
I wish that His hands had been placed on my head.
But Jesus saw them ere they fled,
That His arms had been thrown around me.
And sweetly smiled, and kindly said :
And that I might have seen His

Let the little ones come unto Me !
2 How kind was our Saviour
To bid those children welcome;
2 Yet still to His footst6ol in prayer I ma y go,
But there are many thousands
And ask for a share in His love;
Who have never heard His name;
And If I now earnestly seek Him below,
Dear Saviour, hear us when we pray,
I shall see Him and hear Him above,
That they may hear Thee to them say :
In that beautiful place He Is gone to prepare
Suffer the children to come unto Me.
For all who are washed and forgiven:
And many dear children are gathering there,
3 And soon may the heathen
For of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Of every tribe and nation
Fulfill Thy blessed word, and cast
3 But thousands and thousands who wander and fall
Their idols all away:
Never heard of that heavenly home;
O shine upon them from above.
I should like them to know there is room for them all,
And show Thyself a God of love;
And that Jesus has bid them to come.
Teach them, dear Saviour, to come unto Thee.
I long for the joy of that glorious time,
The sweetest and brightest and best,
When the dear little children of every clime
Shall crowd to His arms and be blessed.

And lost in following years. Her heart inspire and move

Bears all its sons away; Her throne maintain.
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day. 3 May Just and righteous laws
Uphold the public cause,

And Britain's rights depend Of knowledge, truth, and Thee:
On war no more. And let our hills and valleys shout
The songs of liberty.

In silent love be cherished. O keep a worthier tryst !

Of God and man, for ever. Send forth Thy quickening breath,
Equip us for the tasks of life,

And praise the Lord who now as then Fair freedom's holy war,
Reveals in man His glory. Whose battle-cry is Brotherhood.

Great winds Thy clarions, the lightnings Thy sword;

Didst stoop to redeem a lost race, Where rest but on Thy faith word?
Once more to Thy creatures return, None ever called on Thee in vain:
And reign in Thy kingdom of grace. Give peace, O God, give peace again.

All nature acknowledged Thy birth; All hearts are knit in holy love:
Arose the acceptable year, O bind us in that heavenly chain
And heaven was opened on earth. Give peace, O God, give peace again.
Receiving its Lord from above. Amen.

The Giver of concord and love, H904
The Prince and the Author of peace.

3 O wouldst Thou again be made known ! In latter days shall rise
Again in Thy Spirit descend, On mountain-tops above the hills.
And set up in each of Thine own And draw the wondering eyes.
A kingdom that never shall end.
Thou only art able to bless, 2 To this the Joyful nations round,
And make the glad nations obey, All tribes and tongues, shall flow;
And bid the dire enmity cease. Up to the hill of God, they'll say.
And bow the whole world to Thy away. And to His house, we'll go.

Who long Thy appearing to know. Shall lighten every land;
Thy quiet and peaceable reign The King who reigns in Salem's towers
In mercy establish below; Shall all the world command.
All sorrow before Thee shall fly,
And anger and hatred be o'er, 4 Among the nations He shall judge:
And envy and malice shall die, His Judgements truth shall guide;
And discord afflict us no more. His sceptre shall protect the just.

The wonders that our fathers told; Shall crowds of slain deplore:
Remember not our sin's dark stain : They hang the trumpet in the hall,
Give peace, O God, give peace again. And study war no more.

To worship at His shrine; And still our wrongs may weave Thee now
And, walking in the light of God, New thorns to pierce that steady brow,
With holy beauties shine. And robe of sorrow round Thee.

And ancient forms of party strife: To seek the Kingdom of Thy peace,
Ring in the nobler modes of life, By which alone we choose Thee.
With sweeter manners, purer laws.

Ring In the common love of good. O love that triumphs over loss,
We bring our hearts before Thy Cross.

Ring out the thousand wars of old. H907

And mocked Thy saving Kingship then

Of selfish greed and fruitless gain, Let them not pass like weeds away.
Of tarnished honour, falsely strong, Their heritage a sunless day.
And all its ancient deeds of wrong. God save the people !
4 Hear Thou the prayer Thy servants pray. 2 Shall crime bring crime for ever,
Uprising from all lands to-day, Strength aiding still the strong?
And o'er the vanquished powers of sin Is it Thy will, O Father,
O bring Thy great salvation in. That man shall toil for wrong?

Quelling strife and tyrant wrong,
Widening freedom's sacred sway. 2 They shall be gentle, brave, and strong
To spill no drop of blood, but dare

On Thee we cost each earth-born care; And now, O Lord, be near to blow,
We smile at pain while Thou art near. Almighty as of yore,
In crowded street, by restless couch.
2 Though long the weary way we tread, As by Gennesaret's shore.
And sorrow crown each lingering year,
No path we shun, no darkness dread, 3 Be Thou our great Deliverer still,
Our hearts still whispering: Thou art near. Thou Lord of life and death;

And trembling faith is changed to fear, To hands that work and eyes that see

May praise Thee evermore.

O'er darkness and the grave.
To Thee they went—the blind, the dumb, 2 Every care, and every sorrow.
The palsied, and the lame, Be it great, or be it small,
The leper with his tainted life, Yesterday, to-day, to-morrow,
The sick with fevered frame. When, where'er it may befall.
Lay we humbly at Thy feet,
Suppliants at Thy mercy-seat.

Need a brother's, sister's care;
On Thy higher help relying.
May we now their burden share,
Bringing all our offerings meet,
Suppliants at Thy mercy-seat.

Willing both In hand and heart, To set the sin-bound free,
All the law of love fulfilling, And Christ-like tender pity
Ever comfort to impart. To seek the lost for Thee.
Ever bringing offerings meet.
Suppliant to Thy mercy-seat. 2 Our foe is fierce and subtle:
The forces at his hand,
5 So may sickness, sin, and sadness With woes that none can number,
To Thy healing power yield, Despoil the pleasant land:
Till the sick and sad, in gladness, All they who war against them,
Rescued, ransomed, cleansed, healed, In strife so keen and long,
One In Thee together meet, Must in their Saviour's armour
Pardoned at Thy judgement-seat. Be stronger than the strong.

For things that are we thank Thee,

All pity, care, and love, For bright hope that confirmeth
All calm and courage, faith and hope : Faint hands and feeble knees
O pour them from above: To strive beneath Thy blessing
And part them, Lord, to each and all. For greater things than these.
As each and all shall need.
To rise like incense, each to Thee, 4 Lead on, O Love and Mercy,
In noble thought and deed. O Purity and Power !
Lead on till peace eternal
2 And hasten. Lord, that perfect day Shall close this battle-hour:
When pain and death shall cease, Till all who prayed and struggled
And Thy just rule shall fill the earth To set their brethren free,
With health, and light, and peace; In triumph meet to praise Thee,
When ever blue the sky shall gleam, Most Holy Trinity.
And ever green the sod, Amen.

Yet who dost look in mercy
Down on this world of sin; 2 May we Thy bounties thus
As stewards true receive,
And gladly, as Thou blessest us,
To Thee our first-fruits give.

To teach the way of life and peace,
It is a Christ-like thing. 2 Sinless be tongue and hand.
And innocent the mind;

Though dim our faith may be; Our hearts be kind.
Whate'er for Thine we do, O Lord,
We do it unto Thee 3 As the swift day rolls on,
Still, Lord, our guardian be;
And keep the portals of our hearts

That all my powers, with all their might, The Spirit's wine, that maketh whole,
In Thy sole glory may unite. And, mocking not exalts the soul.

Let fall in royal radiance, Thine own gift of this new day;

Upon our earthly senses stream. Makes us crave Thine aid the more;
Lest it prove a time of loss.
Mark it, Saviour, with Thy Cross.

Be Thyself our chief delight; Their constant stations keep;
If it bring unknown distress, Thy faith and truth shall shield their heads
Good is all that Thou canst bless; For Thou dost never sleep.
Only, while its hours begin,
Pray we, keep them clear of sin. 5 May we with calm and sweet repose
And heavenly thoughts refreshed,

And in part discern our foe; And bless the Ever-blessed.
Well for us, before Thine eyes Amen.
All our danger open lies;
Turn not from us while we plead H935
Thy compassions and our need.
1 FATHER Divine I come to Thee ,
4 Fain would we Thy word embrace, I yield, a captive, to Thy sway,
Live each moment in Thy grace, That love's gold chain may set me free
All ourselves to Thee consign, For all the burden of the day.
Fold up all our wills in Thine,
Think, and speak, and do, and be 2 I come not to avoid my care,
Simply that which pleases Thee. I come not to desert the strife;
I come to seek new strength to bear,

Hear, and grant the choicest boon
That Thy love can e'er impart. 3 Many there be that seek Thy face
Loyal singleness of heart; T o m ee t the hou r o f pa r t i ng breath,
So shall this and all our days, But 'tis for earth I need Thy grace-
Christ our God, show forth Thy praise. Life is more solemn still than death.

I feel so vile amid the glow
1 A LL praise to Him who dwells in bliss , That I should faint, didst Thou not say -
Who made both day and night, I make thee whiter than the snow.
Whose throne is darkness in the abyss
Of uncreated light. 5 When noontide brings its work to all.
I find my task so hard to be,
2 Each thought and deed His piercing eyes That I should sink, didst Thou not call :
With strictest search survey; My strength is Perfected in Thee.
The deepest shades no more disguise
Than the full blaze of day.

3 Whom Thou dost guard, O King of Kings,

No evil shall molest;
Under the shadow of Thy wings
Shall they securely rest.

The silent burden of the night We hymn the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit divine.
Would crush, but for Thy message blest : Worthiest art Thou at all times to be sung
At evening time there shall be light. With undefiled tongue,
Son of our God, giver of life, alone;

To all my desert way be given, glories, Lord. they own.

And days on earth be days of heaven. H938

Of God the Father's face, Through the day Thy love hath fed us,
The eternal splendour wearing; Through the day Thy care hath led us,
Celestial, holy, blest, With divinest charity.
Our Saviour Jesus Christ,
Joyful in Thine appearing. 2 This day's sins, O pardon, Saviour !
Evil thoughts, perverse behaviour,
2 Now, ere day fadeth quite. Envy, pride, and vanity;
We see the evening light. From the world, the flesh, deliver,
Our wonted hymn outpouring; Save us now, and save us ever,
Father of might unknown, O Thou Lamb of Calvary !

And Holy Spirit adoring. 3 From enticements of the devil,
From the might of spirits evil,

All praise of holy songs, Let Thy power this night defend us,
O Son of God, life giver; And a heavenly peace attend us,

And shall exalt for ever. 4 Whilst the night-dews are distilling,

THE daylight dies; Safe home at last.

Her evening sacrifice. 3 O b y T hy so ul-inspir ing grace
Uplift our hearts to realms on high;

His head inclined Beyond the sky :
And to His Father's hands
His parting soul resigned 4 Where light and life and Joy and peace
In undivided empire reign,
3 So now herself my soul And thronging angels never cease
Would wholly give Their deathless strain :
Into His sacred charge,
In whom all spirits live: 5 Where saints are clothed in spotless white,
And evening shadows never fall;
4 So now beneath His eye Where Thou, eternal Light of light,
Would calmly rest, Art Lord of all.
Without a wish or thought
Abiding in the breast- H941
5 Save that His will be done, 1 LORD JESUS in the days of old
Whate'er betide: Two walked with Thee in waning light:
Dead to herself. and dead And love's blind instinct made them bold
In Him to all beside. To crave Thy presence through the night.
As night descends, we too would pray :
6 Thus would I live; yet now O leave us not at close of day !
Not I, but He,
In all His power and love, 2 Did not their hearts within them burn?
Henceforth alive in me. And though their Lord they failed to know,
Did not their spirits inly yearn?
7 One sacred Trinity. They could not let the Stranger go.
One Lord Divine, M uch mor e m us t we wh o know Thee pray:
Thine may I ever be, O leave us not at close of day !
And Thou for ever mine.
Amen.

Amid day's uproar we have missed Now, Lord, the gracious work begin;
Some word that Thou hast had to say. Let him no more lie down in sin.
In silent night, O Saviour dear,
We would not fail Thy voice to hear. 5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor
With blessings from Thy boundless store;
4 Day is far spent, and night is nigh; Be every mourner's sleep to-night,
Stay with us, Saviour, through the night; Like infant's slumbers, pure and light.
Talk with us, touch us tenderly,
Lead us to peace, to rest, to light; 6 Come near and bless us when we wake.
Dispel our darkness with Thy face, Ere through the world our way we take,
Radiant with resurrection grace. Till in the ocean of Thy love
We lose ourselves in heaven above.
5 Nor this night only, blessed Lord,
We, every day and every hour, H943
Would walk with Thee Emma us-ward
To hear Thy voice of love and power; 1 GLORY to Thee MY God this night,
And every night would by Thy side For all the blessings of the light

The ill that I this day have done;

It is not night if Thou be near: I, ere I sleep, at peace May be.
O may no earth-born cloud arise
To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes! 3 Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed:
2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep Teach me to die, that so may
My wearied eyelids gently steep, Rise glorious at he awful day.
Be my last thought : How sweet to rest
For ever on my Saviour's breast ! 4 O may my soul on Thee repose.
And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close:
3 Abide with me from morn till eve, Sleep that may me more vigorous make
For without Thee I cannot live; To serve my God when I awake.
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without Thee I dare not die.

My soul with heavenly thoughts supply; Watching late in pain;
Let no ill dreams disturb my rest, Those who plan some evil
No powers of darkness me molest. From their sin restrain.

With my lamp burning in my hand; May Thine angels spread
May I in sight of heaven rejoice, Their white wings above me,
Whene'er I hear the Bridegroom's voice. Watching round my bed.

7 All praise to Thee in light arrayed, 7 When the morning wakens,

Who light Thy dwelling-place hast made; Then may I arise
A boundless ocean of bright beams Pure and fresh and sinless
From Thy all-glorious Godhead streams. In Thy holy eyes.

Visions bright of Thee; And help the captive, comfort those who weep,
Guard the sailors tossing Care for the widows' and the orphans' woe,
On the angry sea. Keep far our foe.

Save Thee, O God in heaven, who car'st for all,
From every peril surely
And wilt forsake them never, day or night,

Who love Thee right.

And bid His hosts attend you,

All this year to Thee, Or grasses in the meadows
In whatever worldly state That blossom but to die:
Thou wilt have me be: A sleep, a dream, a story
Not from sorrow, pain, or care, By strangers quickly told,
Freedom dare I claim; An un-remaining glory
This alone shall be my prayer Of things that soon are old.
Glorify Thy name.
3 O Thou, who canst not slumber,
2 Can a child presume to choose Whose light grows never pale,
Where or how to live? Teach us aright to number
Can a Father's love refuse Our years before they fail.
All the best to give? On us Thy mercy lighten,
More Thou givest every day On us Thy goodness rest,
Than the best can claim, And let Thy Spirit brighten
Nor withholdest aught that may The hearts Thyself hast blessed.
Glorify Thy name.

The wonders of Thy love. For Thou hast been our strength and stay
While on in Jell y 's steps we go In many a dark and dreary day
To see Thy face above. Of sorrow and reverses.

Thine, wholly Thine, shall be; Whatever fate betide us.
And all our consecrated powers Right onward through our journey home
A sacrifice to Thee. Be Thou at hand to guide us;

The wonder of Thy spring. And, our grateful thanks expressing,
Loud we raise a joyous strain.
Bygone days of toil and sadness 2 The sun that keeps his trackless Way,
Cannot now our peace destroy: And downward pours his golden flood,
For the hills are clothed with gladness, Night's sparkling hosts, all seem to say
And the valleys shout for Joy. In accents clear, that God is good.
To the Lord their first-fruits bringing
A l l H i s t h a n k f u l p e o p l e come, 3 The merry birds prolong the strain,
To the Father praises singing Their song with every spring renewed;
For the joy of harvest home. And balmy air, and falling rain.
Each softly whispers:
2 In the spring the smiling meadows God is good.
Donned their robes of living green,
A s t h e s u n s h i n e c h a s e d t h e shadows 4 I hear it in the rushing breeze;
Swiftly o'er the changing scene; T h e h i l l s t h a t h a v e f o r a g e s Stood,
In the summer-time the story The echoing sky and roaring seas,
Of a riper hope was told; A l l s w e l l t h e c h o r u s ; G o d i s good.
Then the rich autumnal glory
Decked the fields in cloth of gold. 5 Yes, God Is good, all nature says.
By God's own hand with speech endued:
3 Shall not we, whose hearts are swelling And man, in louder notes of praise,
W i t h t h e t h o u g h t o f f o r m e r days, Should sing for Joy that God is good.
Sing a Joyous song foretelling
Future gladness, fuller praise? 6 For all Thy gifts we bless Thee, Lord.
For the cloud the bow retaineth Bu t ch iefly for our heave nly food;
With Its covenant of peace, Thy Pardoning gram, Thy quickening Word,
That, as long an earth remaineth, T hes e promp t ou r son g , tha t God is good.
Harvest-time shall never cease.

From ocean depths and spreading wood, How shall we show our love to Thee.
Ten thousand voices seem to cry Who givest all?

We owe Thee thankfulness and praise, 4 We thank Thee, Lord, for sunshine, dew, and rain,
Who givest all. Broadcast from heaven by Thine almighty hand
Source of all life, unnumbered as the sand

But gav'st Him for a world undone,
And freely with that blessed One 5 O Bread of Life Thou in Thy word hast said:

For means of grace and hopes of heaven, Amen.
Father, all praise to Thee be given,
Who givest all. H971
H970 1 A GLADSOME hymn of praise we sing,
And thankfully we gather,
1 HEAR us O Lord from heaven , To bless the love of God above,
Thy dwelling-place : Our everlasting Father.
Like them of old, in vain
We toil all night,
Unless with us Thou go, who art the Light;
Come then, O Lord, that we may see Thy face.

2 Thou, Lord, dost rule the raging of the sea,

When loud the storm and furious is the gale:

Whose glory fadeth never are lying;
Whose providence is our fence. Gr an t th e de par t in g a g en t le

And He whose wisdom guides the world, ness for gloom.
Our footsteps hath attended
H973
4 For nothing falls unknown to Him—
Or care or joy or sorrow: 1 REJOICE for a brother deceased ,
And He whose mercy ruled the past, Our loss is His infinite gain;
Will be our stay to-morrow. A Soul out of prison released,
And freed from its bodily chain;
5 The n pra is e t he L or d w i t h on e accord, With songs let us follow his flight,
To His great name give glory And mount with his spirit above
And of His never-changing love Escaped to the mansions of light,
Repeat the wondrous story And lodged in the Eden of love.

H972 2 Our brother the haven hath gained,

Out-flying the tempest and wind
1 HERE Lord we offer Thee a l l that is fairest, His rest he hath sooner obtained,
Bloom from the garden, and And left his companions behind,
flowers from the field, Hard tolling to make the blest shore,
Gifts for the stricken ones, know- Where all is assurance and peace,

More for the love than the
wealth that we yield.

2 Send, Lord, by these to the sick

and the dying;
Speak to their hearts with a
message of peace;

Who sailed with the Saviour beneath, For ever living unto Thee !

Lord of Life, be ours Thy crown--

O Holder of the keys of death, Amen.
O Quickener of the life within,
Save us from death, the death of sin; H976
1 NOW the labourer's task is o'er ,
Now the battle-day is past;
Now upon the farther shore
Lands the voyager at last.
Father, in Thy gracious keeping
Leave we now Thy servant sleeping
2 There the tears of earth are dried: 4 The exile Is at home:
There Its hidden things are clear, O nights and days of tears !
There the work of life is tried O longings not to roam!
By a juster Judge than here. O sins, and doubts, and fears !
What matters now grief's darkest day?
3 There the Shepherd, bringing home The King has wiped those tears away.
Many a lamb forlorn and strayed,
Shelters each, no more to roam. H978
Where the wolf can ne'er invade.
1 WHEN our heads are bowed with woe,
4 There the penitents who turn When our bitter tears o'erflow,
To the Cross their dying eyes When we mourn the lost, the dear,
All the love of Jesus learn Jesu, Son of Mary, hear.
At His feet In paradise.
2 When the heart Is sad within
5 There no more the powers of hell With the thought of all its sin,
Can prevail to mar their peace; When the spirit shrinks with fear.
Christ the Lord shall guard them well, Jesu, Son of Mary, hear.
He who died for their release.
3 Tho u ou r t hr o bb ing f les h hast worn,
6 Earth to earth, and dust to dust ! Thou our mortal griefs hast borne,
Calmly now the words we say; Thou hast shed the human tear;
Left behind, we wait in trust Jesu, Son of Mary, hear.
For the resurrection day.
4 Thou hast bowed the dying head,
H977 Thou the blood of life hast shed,
Thou hast filled a mortal bier;
1 SAFE home safe home in port ! Jesu, Son of Mary, hear.
Rent cordage, shattered deck,
Torn sails, provision short,
And only not a wreck:
But O the joy upon the shore
To tell the voyage-perils o'er !

2 The prize, the prize secure !

The athlete nearly fell;
Bare all he could endure,
And bare not always well
But he may smile at troubles gone
Who sets the victor-garland on.

3 N o mo r e t he fo e c a n ha r m a
No more of leaguered camp,
And cry of night alarm,
And need of ready lamp:
And yet how nearly had he failed.
How nearly had that foe prevailed !
 2 Here holy thought and hymn prayer
H979 Have winged the spirit's powers,
A n d m a d e t h e s e w a l l s d i v i n e l y fair,
1 OUR Father by whose servants Thy temple, Lord, and ours.
Our house was built of old,
W h o s e h a n d h a t h c r o w n e d h e r children 3 What visions rise above the years,
With blessings manifold, What tender memories throng.
For Thine unfailing mercies Till the eye fills with happy team
Far-strewn along our way, The heart with happy song.
With all who passed before us,
We praise Thy name to-day. 4 Vanish the mists of time and sense;
They come, the loved of yore,
2 The changeful years un-resting And one encircling providence
T he ir s ilen t co urse have s ped , Holds all for evermore.
New comrades ever bringing
In comrades' steps to tread : 5 O not in vain their toil, w h o wrought
And some are long forgotten, To build faith's freer shrine;
Long spent their hopes and fears; Nor theirs, whose steadfast love and thought
Safe rest they in Thy keeping, Have watched the fire divine.
Who changest not with years.
6 Burn, holy Fire, and shine more wide !
3 They reap not where they laboured, While systems rise and fall,
We reap what they have sown; Faith, hope, and charity abide.
Our harvest may be garnered The heart and soul of all.
By ages yet unknown.
The days of old have dowered us
With gifts beyond all praise :
H981
Our Father, make us faithful
To serve the coming days. 1 CHRIST is the foundation
Of the house we raise:
4 Before us and beside us, Be Its walls salvation,
Still holden in Thine hand, And its gateways praise:
A cloud unseen of witness, M a y I ts th r e s h o l d l o w l y
Our elder comrades stand To the Lord be dear;
One family unbroken. May the hearts be holy
We join, with one acclaim, That shall worship here.
One heart, one voice uplifting,
To glorify Thy name 2 Here the vow be sealed
By Thy Spirit, Lord:
Here the sick be healed,
H980 And the lost restored;
Here the broken-hearted,
1 O LIGHT from age to age the same . Thy forgiveness prove;
O ever-living Word, Here the friends long parted
H e r e h a v e w e f e l t T h y k i n d l i n g flame, Be restored to love.
Thy voice within have heard.
3 Here may every token Then may we know, earth's lesson o'er.
Of Thy presence be; W i t h c o m r a d e s m i s s e d o r g o n e before,
Here may chains be bro Heaven's fellowship for evermore.
Here may light illumine Amen
Every soul of Thine,
Lifting up the human H983
Into the divine,
1 BE with us gracious Lord today ;
4 Here may God the Father. T h i s h o u s e w e d e d i c a t e t o Thee :
Christ the Saviour -Son, O hear Thy servants as they pray,
With the Holy Spirit, And let Thine ear attentive be !
Be adored as One;
Till the whole creation 2 Within these walls let holy peace.
At Thy footstool fall, L e t l o v e a n d t r u th b e a l w a ys found;
And in adoration May burdened hearts find sweet release,
Own Thee Lord of all. And souls with richest grace be crowned.
Amen.
3 May here be heard the suppliant's sigh,
H982 The weary enter into rest;
Here may the contrite to Thee cry,
1 FATHER of men in whom are one A n d waiting souls be richly blessed.
A l l h u m a n k i n d b e n e a t h T h y sun,
Stablish our work in Thee begun. 4 Here when the gospel sound is heard.
Except the house be built of Thee, And here proclaimed the saving name,
In vain the builders' toil must be: May hearts be quickened, moved, and stirred.
O strengthen our infirmity ! And souls be kindled into flame.

2 Man lives not for himself alone, 5 Here may the dead be made to live.
In others' good he finds his own, The dumb to sing, the deaf to hear:
L i f e ' s w o r t h i n f e l l o w s h i p i s known. And do Thou to the humble give
We, friends and comrades on life's way, Pardon and peace instead of fear.
Gather within these walls to pray:
Bless Thou our fellowship to-day, 6 M a k e th i s , O L o r d , T h i n e o w n abode;
Thy presence in these courts be given;
3 O Christ, our elder Brother, who
By serving man God's will didst do.
Help us to serve our brethren too.
Guide us to seek the things above,
The base to shun, the pure approve,
To live by Thy free law of love.

4 In all our work, in all our play,

Be with us, Lord, our friend, our stay;
Lead onward to the perfect day
Be this, indeed, the house of God, Here may the busy toiler
And this in truth the gate of heaven. Rise to the things above.
Amen. The young, the old, be strengthened.
And all men learn Thy love.
H984
4 And as the years roll onward,
1 O THOU whose hand hath brought us And strong affections twine,
Unto this joyful day. And tender memories gather
Accept our glad thanksgiving. About this sacred shrine,
And listen as we pray; May this its chiefest honour.
And may our preparation Its glory, ever be
For this day's service be That multitudes within it
With one accord to offer Have found their way to Thee.
Ourselves, O Lord, to Thee.
5 Lord God, our fathers' helper,
2 For this new house we praise Thee, Our joy, and hope, and stay,
Reared at Thine own command, Grant now a gracious earnest
For every generous bosom, Of many a coming day.
And every willing hand; Our yearning hearts Thou knowest;
And now within Thy temple We wait before Thy throne
Thy glory let us see, O come, and by Thy presence
For all its strength and beauty Make this new house Thine own.
Are nothing without Thee. Amen.

3 And oft as here we gather,

And hearts In worship blend,
May truth reveal its power.
And fervent prayer ascend;
 Make joyfull
Noise unto the
Lord!
