1. In the hour of my distress,
When temptations me oppress,
And when I my sins confess-
Then, sweet Spirit, comfort me.

2. When I lie within my bed,
Sick in heart, and sick in head,
And with doubts disquieted-

Then, sweet Spirit, comfort me.
3. When the house doth sigh and weep,
And the world is drowned in sleep,
Yet mine eyes the watch do keep-
Then, sweet Spirit, comfort me.

4. When the tempter me pursueth,
With the sins of all my youth,
And condemns me with untruth—
Then, sweet Spirit, comfort me.

5. When the flames and hellish cries,
Fright mine ears, and fright mine eyes,
And all terrors me surprise-

Then, sweet Spirit, comfort me.
6. When the judgment is reveal'd,
And that opened, which was seal'd,
When to Thee I have appeal'd—
Then, sweet Spirit, comfort me.

1. CENTER of our hopes Thou art;
End of our enlarged desires,
Stamp Thine image on our heart,
Fill us now with heavenly fires;
Joined to Thee by love divine,
Seal our souls forever Thine.

VAUGHN.

2. All our works in Thee be wrought-
Leveled at one common aim;
Every word and every thought
Purge in the refining flame;
Lead us through the paths of peace,
On to perfect holiness.

3. Let us altogether rise,

To Thy glorious life restored;
Here regain our Paradise,

Here prepare to meet our Lord;
Here enjoy the earnest given;
Travel hand in hand to heaven.

C. WESLEY.

1. HARK! my soul! it is the Lord;
'Tis thy Saviour-hear His word;
Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee,
"Say, poor sinner, lovest thou Me?"

2 "I delivered thee when bound,
And when bleeding, healed thy wound:
Sought thee wandering, set thee right
Turned thy darkness into light.

3. "Can a woman's tender care
Cease toward the child she bare?
Yes, she may forgetful be,
Yet will I remember thee.

4. "Mine is an unchanging love,
Higher than the heights above;
Deeper than the depths beneath—
Free and faithful-strong as death.

5. "Thou shalt see My glory soon,
When the work of grace is done;
Partner of My throne shalt be;
Say, poor sinner! lovest thou Me ?"

6. Lord! it is my chief complaint,
That my love is weak and faint;
Yet I love Thee, and adore ;-

Oh! for grace to love Thee more. COWPER.

1. ABBA, Father, hear Thy child,
Late in Jesus reconciled;
Hear, and all the graces shower,
All the joy, and peace, and power;
All my Saviour asks above,
All the life and heaven of love.

2. Heavenly Father, Life divine,
Change my nature into Thine;
Move and spread throughout my soul,
Actuate and fill the whole :
Lord, I will not let Thee

go

Till the blessing Thou bestow.

3. Holy Ghost, no more delay;

Come, and in Thy temple stay:
Now Thine inward witness bear,

Song and permanent, and clear:

Spring of life, Thyself impart;
Rise eternal in my heart.

1. BLESSED are the sons of God;
They are bought with Jesus' blood;
They are ransomed from the grave;
Life eternal they shall have;
With them numbered may we be,
Here, and in eternity.

2. They are justified by grace,
They enjoy the Saviour's peace;
All their sins are washed away;
They shall stand in God's great day:
With them numbered may we be,
Here, and in eternity.

3. They are lights upon the earth—
Children of a heavenly birth-
One with God, with Jesus one;
Glory is in them begun :

With them numbered may we be,
Here, and in eternity.

HUMPHRIES.

1. COME, ye disconsolate, where'er you languish, Come, at the shrine of God fervently kneel; Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish,

Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not heal. 2. Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,

Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure! Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying, Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not cure. 3. Here see the bread of life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, pure from above: Come to the feast of love; come, ever-knowing, Earth has no sorrow but Heaven can remove.

1. WHEN the spark of life is waning,
Weep not for me;

When the languid eye is streaming,

Weep not for me;

When the feeble pulse is ceasing,
Start not at its swift decreasing,
"Tis the fettered soul's releasing-
Weep not for me!

2. When the pangs of death assail me,
Weep not for me;

Christ is mine, He can not fail me

Weep not for me:

Yet though sin and doubt endeavor

From His love my soul to sever,

Jesus is my strength forever:

Weep not for me!

1. THERE's a Friend above all others-
O how He loves!

His is love beyond a brother's—
O how He loves!

Earthly friends may fail and leave us,
This day kind, the next bereave us,
But this Friend will ne'er deceive us-
O how He loves!

2. Blessed Jesus!-would'st thou know Him?-
O how He loves!

Give thyself e'en this day to Him-
O how He loves!

Is it sin that pains and grieves thee?
Doubts and trials do they tease thee?
Jesus can from all release thee-

O how He loves!

3. Love this Friend who longs to save thee— O how He loves!

Dost thou love? He will not leave thee

O how He loves!

Think no more, then, of to-morrow,

Take His easy yoke and follow,
Jesus carries all thy sorrow—

O how He loves!

4. All thy sins shall be forgiven-
O how He loves!

Backward all thy foes be driven—
O how He loves!

Best of blessings He 'll provide thee,
Naught but good shall e'er betide thee,
Safe to glory He will guide thee-
O how He loves!

5. Pause, my soul! adore and wonder—
O how He loves!

Naught can cleave this love asunder—
O how He loves!
