891.

4. O that I could now adore Him,
Like the heavenly host above,
Who forever bow before Him,
And unceasing sing His love!
Happy songsters!

892.

When shall I your chorus join?

8s & 7s.

1. JESUS, full of all compassion,
Hear thine humble suppliant's cry,
Let me know Thy great salvation-
See! I languish, faint, and die.
Guilty, but with heart relenting,
Overwhelmed with helpless grief,
Prostrate at Thy feet repenting
Send, O send me quick relief!
2. Whither should a wretch be flying,
But to Him who comfort gives?
Whither, from the dread of dying,
But to Him who ever lives?
While I view Thee, wounded, grieving,
Breathless, on the cursed tree,
Fain I'd feel my heart believing
Thou didst suffer thus for me.

3. In the world of endless ruin,
Let it never, Lord, be said,
"Here's a soul that perished, sueing
For the boasted Saviour's aid!"
Saved! the deed shall spread new glory
Through the shining realms above;
Angels sing the pleasing story,

All enraptured with Thy love. TURNER.

8s & 7s.

1. ONWARD, Christian, though the region
Where thou art, be drear and lone!

God has set a guardian legion

Very near thee-press thou on!

2. Listen, Christian, their Hosanna
Rolleth o'er thee-" God is love."
Write upon thy red-cross banner,
"Upward ever-heaven's above."
3. By the thorn-road, and none other,
Is the mount of vision won;
Tread it without shrinking, brother!
Jesus trod it-press thou on!

893.

4. Be this world the wiser, stronger,
For thy life of pain and peace;
While it needs thee, O, no longer
Pray thou for thy quick release.

5. Pray thou, Christian, daily, rather,
That thou be a faithful son;
By the prayer of Jesus" Father,
Not my will, but Thine, be done!"

10s & 7s.

1. FORGIVE my folly, O Lord, most holy;
Cleanse me from every stain;
For Thee I languish; pity my anguish,
Nor let my sighing be vain.

2. Deeply repenting, sorely lamenting
All my departures from Thee;

And now returning, Thine absence mourning,
Lord, show Thy mercy to me.

3. Sinful, unworthy, trembling before Thee,
Here at Thy cross will I kneel;

Thy Love once bleeding, now interceding,
Shall for my ransom avail.

4. Through Thy rich merit, by Thy free Spirit,

Comfort my

desolate soul:

Heav'nly Physician, in kind compassion,
Now bid the wounded be whole.

1. SEND kindly light amid th' encircling gloom,
And lead me on;

The night is dark, and I am far from home;
Lead Thou me on;

Keep Thou my feet: I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step's enough for me.
2. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Should'st lead me on;

I loved to choose and see my path; but now
Lead Thou me on!

I loved day's dazzling light, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years! 3. So long Thy power hath blessed me, surely still "T will lead me on

Through dreary doubt, through pain and sorrow, till
The night is gone,

And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

1. PEACE to thee, O favored one,
Weeping thus before the throne,
O'er the ills that thou hast done,
With relenting sighs:

While thy heart with grief is riven,
All thy follies are forgiven;
And beneath a smiling heaven
Light will soon arise.

2. Earthly joys to Thee are dross,
Earthly gain is heavenly loss,
Look upon the bleeding cross,
View the Victim there:

He that for thy sins hath died,
Bids thee in His love confide;
Trust in Him, and none beside-
He will hear thy prayer.

896.

3. From the Saviour's smiling face
Flows the plenitude of grace;
Pardon, life, and heavenly peace,
Like the ocean's wave:

He the righteous law obeyed,
He hath full atonement made,
Let Thy soul on him be stayed,
He is strong to save.

7s & 6s.

1. JESUS my God, my Saviour,
In Thy celestial favor

Is my supreme delight;

T. HASTINGS.

The more my woes oppress me,
The more do Thou possess me,

With Thy all heavenly might.
2. Whene'er my heart is broken,
Before my grief is spoken,
God pities my complaint:
And though He might reject me,
He kindly does protect me,
Lest all my courage faint.

3. By night Thine arm attends me,
And graciously defends me,
And soft is my repose;

Thine eyes, that watch my keeping,
Are never, never sleeping-

I can not fear

my foes.

4. By day Thy hand shall lead me,
Thy heavenly manna feed me
Through all life's desert way;
Thy beam my path enlightens,
And more and more it brightens
Unto eternal day.

5. O Jesus, my sweet Saviour,
Soon Thy celestial favor

Shall be my sole delight!
With seraphs I'll adore Thee,
And cast my crown before Thee,
Around Thy throne of light.

1. O THAT the Lord's salvation,
Jehovah's great salvation,
Were out of Zion come!
To heal His ancient nation,
His long forsaken nation-
To lead His outcasts home!

2. How long the holy city,
Zion, the holy city,

Shall heathen feet profane?
Return, O God, in pity,
In everlasting pity,

Rebuild her walls again.

3. Let fall Thy rod of terror,
Thine iron rod of terror,
Thy saving grace impart!
Remove the vail of error,
The midnight vail of error,
Release the fettered heart.

4. Let Israel home returning,
With ransom home returning,
Their lost Messiah see!
Give oil of joy for mourning,
For ages long of mourning,

And build Thy Church to Thee!

Doxology. 7s & 6s.

GLORY be Thine forever,
O Lord, of life the Giver,
Immortal King of kings,

To Thee thrice-named be praises,
Loud as all heaven raises,

While earth responsive sings.
