3. Eternal wisdom has prepared
A soul-reviving feast,

And bids your longing appetites
The rich provision taste.

4. Ho! ye that pant for living streams,
And pine away and die!

Here you may quench your raging thirst
With springs that never dry.

5. Rivers of love and mercy, here,
In a rich ocean join;
Salvation in abundance flows,

Like floods of milk and wine.

6. The happy gates of gospel-grace
Stand open night and day;-

Lord! we are come to seek supplies,
And drive our wants away.

Doxology. C. M.

PRAISE Him, who with the Father sits

Enthroned upon the skies;

WATTS.

Whose blood redeems our souls from guilt,
Whose Spirit sanctifies.

S. M.

1. My soul, be on thy guard;
Ten thousand foes arise;
The hosts of sin are pressing hard
To draw thee from the skies.

2. O watch, and fight, and pray;
The battle ne'er give o'er;
Renew it, boldly every day,
And help divine implore.

3. Ne'er think the victory won,
Nor lay thine armor down;

Thy arduous work will not be done,
Till thou obtain thy crown.

612.

4. Fight on, my soul, till death
Shall bring thee to thy God;
He'll take thee, at thy parting breath,
To His divine abode.

HEATH.

S. M.

1. SOLDIERS of Christ, arise,

And gird your armor on,

Strong in the strength which God supplies
Through his eternal Son.

2. Strong in the Lord of hosts.
And in His mighty power,

Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.

3. Leave no unguarded place,
No weakness of the soul;
Take every virtue, every grace,
And fortify the whole.

4. But above all lay hold

On faith's victorious shield;
Armed with that adamant and gold,
Be sure to win the field.

5. Stand, then, in His great might,
With all His strength endued,
And take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God;—

6. That, having all things done,
And all your conflicts past,

You may o'ercome through Christ alone,
And stand complete at last.

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

Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day.

613.

614.

8. Still let the Spirit cry,

In all his soldiers, "Come,"

Till Christ the Lord descends from high,
And takes the conquerors home.

S. M.

1. SOLDIERS of Christ! arise!
The God of armies calls"
Unto His mansions in the skies-
His everlasting halls:

2. The angel host appears

C. WESLEY.

To welcome you to bliss;
Oh! what is earth, its sighs and tears,
Its joys, compared to this!

3. Crush'd is the haughty foe,
His might, his glory gone;

But ye, with victory crown'd, shall go
To Christ's eternal throne.

4. There shall the conqueror rest,
And in that bright abode

Forever reign amid the blest,
Triumphant with his God.

S. M.

1. I STAND on Zion's mount,

And view my starry crown;

LYRA CATE

No power on earth my hope can shake,
Nor hell can thrust me down.

2. The lofty hills and towers,

That lift their heads on high,
Shall all be leveled low in dust-
Their very names shall die.

3. The vaulted heavens shall fall,
Built by Jehovah's hands;

But firmer than the heavens, the Rock
Of my salvation stands.

SWAIN.

1. GRACE! 't is a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear;

Heaven with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.

2. Grace first contrived a way

To save rebellious man;

And all the steps that grace display,
Which drew the wondrous plan.

3. Grace led my roving feet

To tread the heavenly road;
And new supplies each hour I meet,
While pressing on to God.

4. Grace all the work shall crown,
Through everlasting days;

It lays in heaven the topmost stone,
And well deserves the praise.

DODDRIDGE.

S. M.

1. Now let our voices join

To form a sacred song;

Ye pilgrims, in Jehovah's ways,
With music pass along.

2. How straight the path appears,
How open and how fair!
No lurking gins t' entrap our feet;
No fierce destroyer there.

3. But flowers of paradise

In rich profusion spring;
The Sun of glory gilds the path,
And dear companions sing.

4. See Salem's golden spires

In beauteous prospect rise;

And brighter crowns than mortals wear
Which sparkle through the skies.

617.

618.

5. All honor to His name,

Who marks the shining way;

To Him, who leads the wanderer on
To realms of endless day.

S. M.

1. REJOICE in God alway;

DODDRIDGE.

When earth looks heavenly bright,
When joy makes glad the livelong day,
And peace shuts in the night.

2. Rejoice when care and woe
The fainting soul oppress;

When tears at wakeful midnight flow,
And morn brings heaviness,

3. Rejoice in hope and fear;
Rejoice in life and death;
Rejoice when threatening storms are near,
And comfort languisheth.

4. When should not they rejoice,
Whom Christ His brethren calls;
Who hear and know His guiding voice,
When on their hearts it falls?

5. So, though our path is steep,
And many a tempest lowers,

Shall His own peace our spirit keep,
And Christ's dear love be ours.

S. M.

1. JESUS' tremendous name
Puts all our foes to flight;
Jesus, the meek, the gentle Lamb
A Lion is, in fight.

2. By all Hell's host withstood,

We all Hell's host o'erthrow;

And conquering them in Jesus' blood,
We still to conquer go.
