1 Love divine, all love excelling,Joy of heaven, to earth come down! Fix in us thy humble dwelling,

All thy faithful mercies crown: Jesus! thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love thou art, Visit us with thy salvation,

Enter every trembling heart.

2 Breathe, oh, breathe thy loving Spirit
Into every troubled breast!
Let us all in thee inherit,

Let us find thy promised rest:
Come, almighty to deliver,

Let us all thy life receive!
Speedily return, and never,

Never more thy temples leave!
8 Finish then thy new creation,
Pure, unspotted may we be:
Let us see our whole salvation
Perfectly secured by thee!
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.

John 15: 4.

1 ALL is dying; hearts are breaking
Which to ours were closely bound;
And the lips have ceased from speaking
Which once uttered such sweet sound;
And the arms are powerless lying,

Which were our support and stay;
And the eyes are dim and dying,

Which once watched us night and day.
2 Everything we love and cherish
Hastens onward to the grave;
Earthly joys and pleasures perish,
And whate'er the world e'er gave.
All is fading, all is fleeing;

Earthly flames must cease to glow,
Earthly beings cease from being,
Earthly blossoms cease to blow.
3 Yet unchanged while all decayeth,
Jesus stands upon the dust;
Lean on me alone, he sayeth;
Hope and love, and firmly trust!
Oh, abide, abide with Jesus,

Who himself forever lives,
Who from death eternal frees us,
Yea, who life eternal gives!

1 JESUS, I my cross have taken,
All to leave, and follow thee;
Naked, poor, despised, forsaken,
Thou, from hence, my all shalt be!
Perish, every fond ambition,

All I've sought, or hoped, or known,
Yet how rich is my condition,

God and heaven are still my own! 2 Let the world despise and leave me, They have left my Saviour, too; Human hearts and looks deceive meThou art not, like them, untrue; Oh! while thou dost smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends disown me, Show thy face, and all is bright. 3 Man may trouble and distress me,

'T will but drive me to thy breast, Life with trials hard may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest! Oh! 't is not in grief to harm me,

While thy love is left to me;
Oh! 't were not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with thee.

4 Go then, earthly fame and treasure!
Come disaster, scorn, and pain!
In thy service pain is pleasure,
With thy favor, loss is gain.

I have called thee, Abba, Father!
I have stayed my heart on thee!
Storms may howl, and clouds may gather,
All must work for good to me.

5 Soul, then know thy full salvation,
Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care;
Joy to find in every station

Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee; Think what Father's smiles are thine; Think that Jesus died to win thee;

Child of heaven, canst thou repine ? 6 Haste thee on from grace to glory, Armed by faith, and winged by prayer! Heaven's eternal day 's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there: Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days, Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

1 ONE there is, above all others, Well deserves the name of Friend; His is love beyond a brother's,

Costly, free, and knows no end.

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.

3 When he lived on earth abaséd, Friend of sinners was his name; Now above all glory raised,

He rejoices in the same.

4 Oh! for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length, to love; We, alas! forget too often

1 ALWAYS with us, always with us—
Words of cheer and words of love;
Thus the risen Saviour whispers,
From his dwelling-place above.

2 With us when we toil in sadness,
Sowing much and reaping none;
Telling us that in the future

Golden harvests shall be won.

3 With us when the storm is sweeping O'er our pathway dark and drear; Waking hope within our bosoms, Stilling every anxious fear.

4 With us in the lonely valley,

When we cross the chilling stream; Lighting up the steps to glory With salvation's radiant beam.

1 I LAY my sins on Jesus,

The spotless Lamb of God;

He bears them all, and frees us
From the accurséd load;

I bring my guilt to Jesus,

To wash my crimson stains
White in his blood most precious,
Till not a stain remains.

2 I lay my wants on Jesus;
All fullness dwells in him;
He healeth my diseases,
He doth my soul redeem:
I lay my griefs on Jesus,

My burdens and my cares;
He from them all releases,
He all my sorrows shares.
3 I rest my soul on Jesus,

This weary soul of mine;
His right hand me embraces,
I on his breast recline:
I love the name of Jesus,
Immanuel, Christ, the Lord;
Like fragrance on the breezes,
His name abroad is poured.

4 I long to be like Jesus,

Meek, loving, lowly, mild;
I long to be like Jesus,
The Father's holy child:

1 To thee, my God and Saviour!
My heart exulting sings,
Rejoicing in thy favor,
Almighty King of kings!
I'll celebrate thy glory,
With all thy saints above,
And tell the joyful story

Of thy redeeming love.

2 Soon as the morn, with roses
Bedecks the dewy east,
And when the sun reposes
Upon the ocean's breast,
My voice, in supplication,
Well-pleased the Lord shall hear :
Oh! grant me thy salvation,
And to my soul draw near.

3 By thec, through life supported,
I'll pass the dangerous road,
With heavenly hosts escorted,
Up to thy bright abode;
Then cast my crown before thee,
And, all my conflicts o'er,
Unceasingly adore thee:-

What could an angel more?

1 JESUS, thy name I love,
All other names above,
Jesus, my Lord!

Oh! thou art all to me!
Nothing to please I sec,
Nothing apart from thee,
Jesus, my Lord!

2 Thou, blesséd Son of God,
Hast bought me with thy blood,
Jesus, my Lord!

Oh! how great is thy love,
All other loves above,
Love that I daily prove,
Jesus, my Lord!

3 When unto thee I flec,
Thou wilt my refuge be,

Jesus, my Lord!
What need I now to fear?
What earthly grief or care,
Since thou art ever near?
Jesus, my Lord!

4 Soon thou wilt come again!
I shall be happy then,

Jesus, my Lord!

Then thine own face I'll see,
Then I shall like thee be,
Then evermore with thee,
Jesus, my Lord!

Psalm 27: 25.

1 Now I have found a Friend
Whose love shall never end;
Jesus is mine.

Though earthly joys decrease,
Though human friendships cease,
Now I have lasting peace;
Jesus is mine.

2 Though I grow poor and old, He will my faith uphold; Jesus is mine.

He shall my wants supply;
His precious blood is nigh,
Naught can my hope destroy;
Jesus is mine.

3 When earth shall pass away,
In the great judgment day,
Jesus is mine.
Oh, what a glorious thing
Then to behold my King,
On tuneful harps to sing,
Jesus is mine.

4 Father thy name I bless; Thine was the sovereign grace; Praise shall be thine;

Spirit of holiness!
Sealing the Father's grace,
Thou mad'st my soul embrace
Jesus as mine.
