4. We feel the resurrection near,
Our life in Christ concealed,
And with His glorious presence here
Our earthen vessels filled.
5. O, would He all of heaven bestow!
Then like our Lord we 'll rise;
Our bodies, fully ransomed, go
To take the glorious prize.
6. On Him with rapture then I'll gaze,
Who bought the bliss for me,
And shout and wonder at His grace
Through all eternity.
1. How sweet the melting lay
Which breaks upon the ear,
When at the hour of rising day,
Christians unite in prayer.
2. The breezes waft their cries
Up to Jehovah's throne;
He listens to their humble sighs,
And sends His blessings down.
3. So Jesus rose to pray
Before the morning light
Once on the chilling mount did stay,
And wrestle all the night.
4. So Jesus still doth pray
Before the morning bright,
On heavenly mountains far away,
While we toil here in night.
5. Leave, Lord, Thy vigil there,
Descend upon life's wave;
Come to the bark through midnight air—
The storm shall cease to rave.
1. How charming is the place
Where my Redeemer God
Unvails the beauties of His face,
And sheds His love abroad!
2. Not the fair palaces
To which the great resort,
Are once to be compared with this,
Where Jesus holds His court.
3. Here on the mercy-seat,
With radiant glory crowned,
Our joyful eyes behold Him sit,
And smile on all around.
4. To Him their prayers and cries
Each humble soul presents;
He listens to their broken sighs,
And grants them all their wants.
5. Give me, O Lord, a place
Within Thy bless'd abode,
Among the children of Thy grace,
The servants of my God.
1. JESUS, who knows full well
The heart of every saint,
Invites us all our griefs to tell,
То pray, and never faint.
2. He bows His gracious ear,
We never plead in vain :
Yet we must wait till He appear,
And pray, and pray again.
3. Jesus the Lord will hear
His chosen when they cry;
Yes, though He may awhile forbear,
He'll help them from on high.
4. His nature, truth, and love,
Engage Him on their side;
When they are grieved, His bowels move,
And can they be denied?
5. Then let us earnest be,
And never faint in prayer;
He loves our importunity,
And makes our cause His care.
1. BLEST be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
2. Before our Father's throne
We pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
3. We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
4. When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.
5. This glorious hope revives
Our courage by the way;
While each in expectation lives,
And longs to see the day.
6. From sorrow, toil, and pain,
And sin, we shall be free,
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.
1. I LOVE Thy kingdom, Lord,
The house of Thine abode,
The Church our blest Redeemer saved
With His own precious blood.
2. I love Thy church, O God!
Her walls before Thee stand,
Dear as the apple of Thine eye,
And graven on Thy hand.
3. For her my tears shall fall,
For her my prayers ascend;
To her my cares and toils be given,
Till toils and cares shall end.
4. Beyond my highest joy
I prize her heavenly ways,
Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise.
5. Jesus, Thou Friend divine,
Our Saviour, and our King,
Thy hand from every snare and foe,
Shall great deliverance bring.
6. Sure as Thy truth shall last,
To Zion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven.
1. LET party names no more
The Christian world o'erspread;
Gentile and Jew, and bond and free,
Are one in Christ, their Head.
2. Among the saints on earth
Let mutual love be found;
Heirs of the same inheritance,
With mutual blessings crowned.
3. Thus will the Church below
Resemble that above,
Where streams of pleasure ever flow,
And every heart is love.
1. WHEN shall we all meet again?
When shall we all meet again?
Oft shall glowing hope expire;
Oft shall wearied love retire,
Oft shall death and sorrow reign,
Ere we all shall meet again.
2. Though on foreign shore we sigh,
Far remote our native sky;
Though the depths between us roll,
Hope shall anchor there our soul,
And in faith's well known domain,
Within the vail, we 'll meet again.
3. When the dreams of life are fled,
When its wasted lamps are dead,
When in cold oblivion's shade
Beauty, wealth, and fame, are laid,
Where immortal spirits reign,
Thither soar, to meet again!
1. CHILDREN of the heavenly King,
As ye journey, sweetly sing;
Sing your Saviour's worthy praise,
Glorious in His works and ways.
2. Ye are traveling home to God,
In the way the fathers trod;
They are happy now-and ye
Soon their happiness shall see.
3. Shout, ye little flock, and blest,
You on Jesus' throne shall rest:
There your seat is now prepared-
There your kingdom and reward.
