The Christian Pilgrimage.

1 AND can we ask a better aid
Than Jesus, in the road?

Of whom shall we be once afraid,
Protected by our God?

2 Jesus, thou art our skilful Guide,
In all our way to heaven;
By Thee are all our wants supplied,
And every mercy given.

3 The living waters constant flow,
Our thirst to satisfy;

Thou givest, all the way we go,
Of bread a rich supply.

4 O happy church! lift up your voice,
In songs of honour sing:
In your own Saviour God rejoice,
For he alone is King.

1 SOON will appear a brighter sky,
As homeward we go on;
All fears and foes before us fly,
And troubles all be gone.

2 The prospect opens, grand and new,
See Salem's walls arise:
Soon shall we brighter glories view
In yonder happy skies.

3 And shall we meet in heaven above, Before Jehovah's face?

For ever bask in beams of love,
With all the angel race?

4 It shall be so; let us pursue
With faithfulness our way;
For nothing more have we to do,
But love, believe, obey.

5 O happy church! lift up your voice,
In songs of honour sing;
In your own Saviour God rejoice,
For he alone is King.

Divine Providence in Air, Earth' and Sea.

1 'TIS by thy strength the mountains stand, God of eternal power!

The sea grows calm at thy command,
And tempests cease to roar.

2 The morning light and evening shade,
Successive comforts bring;

Thy plenteous fruits make harvest glad,
Thy flowers adorn the spring.

3 Seasons and times, and moons and hours,
Heaven, earth, and air are thine;
When clouds distil in fruitful showers,
The Author is divine.

4 Those wand'ring cisterns in the sky,
Borne by the winds around,
With watery treasures well supply
The furrows of the ground.

5 The thirsty ridges drink their fill,
And ranks of corn appear;
Thy ways abound with blessings still,
Thy goodness crowns the year.

The Christian's Progress.

1 JESUS, our God of truth and love,
Who leads us by his hand,
Provides us palaces above,
In his most happy land.

2 There love divine, that holy flame,
Will all our powers we raise,
To celebrate Jehovah's name
In higher songs of praise.

3 There science will to wisdom rise,
That wisdom be refin'd;

All heaven conspire to make us wise,
And elevate the mind.

4 There love and wisdom fill the soul From Jesus ever given;

Rivers of peace and pleasure roll,
And all the man is heaven.

5 Ye happy souls, lift up the voice,
In songs of glory sing;
In your own Saviour God rejoice,
For he alone is King.

The books of Nature and Scripture.

1 BEHOLD! the lofty sky

Declares its Maker, God,

And all his starry works on high
Proclaim his power abroad.

2 The darkness and the light
Still keep their course the same;
While night to day, and day to night,
Divinely teach his name.

3 In every different land
Their general voice is known;
They shew the wonders of his hand,
And orders of his throne.

4 Ye christian lands, rejoice,
Here he reveals his word;
We are not left to nature's voice
To bid us know the Lord.

The Lord's Day Morning.

1 BEHOLD, the morning sun

Begins his glorious way;

His beams through all the nations run
And life and light convey.

2 But where the gospel comes,
It spreads diviner light;

It calls dead sinners from their tombs,
And gives the blind their sight.

3 How perfect is thy word!
And all thy judgments just;
For ever sure thy promise, Lord,
And men securely trust.

4 My gracious God, how plain
Are thy directions given!
may I never read in vain,
But find the path to heaven!

Salvation by Christ.

1 SALVATION is for ever nigh,

To souls that fear and trust the Lord; And grace descending from on high, Fresh hopes of glory shall afford.

2 Mercy and truth on earth are met,

Since Christ the Lord came down from heaven's
By his obedience, so complete,
Justice is pleas'd, and peace is given.

3 Now truth and honour shall abound,
Religion dwell on earth again,
And heavenly influence bless the ground,
In our Redeemer's gentler reign.

4 His righteousness is gone before
To give us free access to God:
Our wandering feet shall stray no more,
But mark his steps, and keep the road.

Delight in Ordinances,

1 MY soul, how lovely is the place
To which thy God resorts!
'Tis heaven to see his smiling face,
Though in his earthly courts.

2 There the great monarch of the skies.
His saving power displays;
And light breaks in upon our eyes
With kind and quick'ning rays.

3 With his rich gifts the heavenly Dove
Descends and fills the place,

While Christ reveals his wond'rous love,
And sheds abroad his grace.

4 There, mighty God, thy words declare
The secrets of thy will;

And still we seek thy mercies there,
And sing thy praises still.
