2. As still to the star of its worship, though clouded, The needle points faithfully o'er the dim sea, So, dark as I roam, through this wint'ry world shrouded,

657.

658.

The hope of my spirit turns trembling to Thee,
My God! trembling to Thee—

True, fond, trembling to Thee.

8s & 7s.

1. THRO' the day Thy love has spared us,
Now we lay us down to rest,
Thro' the silent watches guard us,
Let no foe our peace molest;

Jesus now our Saviour be,

Sweet it is to trust in Thee.

MOORE.

2. Pilgrims thro' this world and strangers,
Toiling in the midst of foes.

Us and ours preserve from dangers,
And our trust in Thee repose;
And when life's short day is past,
Rest with Thee in heav'n at last.

5s, 6s & 8s.

1. FAIREST Lord Jesus!

Ruler of all nature!

O Thou of God and man the Son!

Thee will I cherish,

Thee will I honor,

Thou! my soul's glory, joy, and crown.

2. Fair are the meadows,
Fairer still the woodlands,

Rob'd in the blooming garb of spring,

Jesus is fairer,

Jesus is purer,

Who makes the woeful heart to sing.

659.

660.

3. Fair is the sunshine,

Fairer still the moonlight,

And the twinkling starry host;
Jesus shines brighter,

Jesus shines purer

Than all the angels heav'n can boast.

8s, 7s & 4s.

1. WELCOME, Welcome, dear Redeemer,
Welcome to this heart of mine;
Lord, I make a full surrender,
Every power and thought be Thine;
Thine entirely,

Through eternal ages, Thine.

2. Known to all to be Thy mansion,
Earth and hell will disappear;
Or in vain attempt possession,
When they find the Lord is near—
Shout, O Zion!

Shout, ye saints, the Lord is here!

8s & 7s.

1. Love divine, all love excelling,

Joy of heaven, to earth come down!
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling,
All Thy faithful mercies crown;

2. Jesus! Thou art all compassion,
Pure, unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation,
Enter every trembling heart.

3. Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit-
Into every troubled breast!

Let us all in Thee inherit,

Let us find Thy promised rest.

661.

4. Come, Almighty to deliver,
Let us all Thy grace receive!
Suddenly return, and never,

Never more Thy temples leave!
5. Finish then Thy new creation,
Pure, and spotless may we be;
Let us see our whole salvation
Perfectly secured by Thee!

6. Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place;
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

8s & 7s.

C. WESLEY.

1. COME, Thou long-expected Jesus,
Born to set Thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.

2. Israel's Strength and Consolation,
Hope of all the saints Thou art;
Dear Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.

3. Born, Thy people to deliver;
Born a child—and yet a King;
Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy precious kingdom bring.

4. By Thine own eternal Spirit,
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By Thine all-sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.

1. JESUS, who on Calvary's mountain
Poured Thy precious blood for me,
Wash me in its flowing fountain,
That my soul may spotless be.

2. I have sinned, but oh, restore me;
For unless Thou smile on me,
Dark is all the world before me,
Darker yet eternity!

3. In Thy word I hear Thee saying,
Come and I will give you rest;
And the gracious call obeying,
See, I hasten to Thy breast.

4. Grant, oh, grant Thy Spirit's teaching,
That I may not go astray,
Till the gate of heaven reaching,
Earth and sin are passed away.

1. SWEET the moments, rich in blessing,
Which before the cross I spend;
Life, and health, and peace possessing,
From the sinner's dying Friend.

2. Here I'll sit, forever viewing
Mercy streaming in His blood;
Precious drops! my soul bedewing,
Plead and claim my peace with God.

3. Truly blessed is this station,
Low before His cross to lie;
While I see divine compassion
Floating in His languid eye.

4. Here it is I find my heaven,

While upon the cross I gaze;
Love I much? I've much forgiven,
I'm a miracle of
grace.

5. Love and grief my heart dividing,

With my tears His feet I'll bathe;
Constant still in faith abiding,
Life deriving from His death.

Fix

6. Lord in ceaseless contemplation,
my heart and eyes on Thine,
Till I taste Thy whole salvation,

664.

665,

Where, unvailed, Thy glories shine.

8s. & 7s.

BEATTY.

1. CROWN His head with endless blessing,
Who, in God the Father's name,
With compassion never ceasing,
Comes, salvation to proclaim.

2. Lo, Jehovah, we adore Thee—

Thee, our Saviour-Thee, our God;
From Thy throne let beams of glory
Shine through all the world abroad.
3. Jesus! Thee our Saviour hailing,
Thee our God in praise we own;
Highest honors, never failing,

Rise eternal round Thy throne.

4. Now, ye saints, His power confessing,
In your grateful strains adore;
For His mercy, never ceasing,
Flows, and flows for evermore.

1. ONE there is, above all others,

PRATT'S COLL

Well deserves the name of Friend;
His is love beyond a brother's,
Costly, free, and knows no end;
They who once His kindness prove,
Find it everlasting love.

2. Which of all our friends, to save us,

Could or would have shed his blood?

But our Jesus died to have us
Reconciled in Him to God;
This was boundles Love indeed,
Jesus is a Friend in need!
