20. Though troubles assail.

1. THOUGH troubles assail, and dangers affright, Though friends should all fail, and foes all unite, Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide

The scripture assures us, the Lord will provide.

2. The birds without barn or store-house are fed, From them let us learn to trust in our Head; His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied, So long as 'tis written the Lord will provide. 3. We may, like the ships, by tempests be tost On perilous deeps, but need not be lost; Though Satan enrages the wind and the tide, The promise engages, the Lord will provide. 4. His call we obey, like Abraham of old;

Not knowing our way, but faith makes us bold:
For though we are strangers, we have a good guide
And trust, in all dangers, the Lord will provide.
5. When Satan appears to stop up the path,
And fills us with fears, we'll triumph by faith,
He cannot take from us, (though oft he has tried,)
The heart-cheering promise, the Lord will provide.
6. No strength of our own, or goodness we claim;
Yet since we have known the Savior's great name,
In this our strong tower for safety we hide,
The Lord is our power, the Lord will provide.

7. When life sinks apace, and death is in view,
This word of his grace shall comfort us through:
No fearing or doubting, with Christ on our side,
We hope to die shouting, THE LORD WILL PRO-

VIDE."

1 CHILDREN of the heavenly King, As ye journey, sweetly sing; Sing your Savior's worthy praise, Glorious in his works and ways.

? We are travelling home to God, In the way the fathers trod; They are happy now, and we Soon their happiness shall see.

3 Shout, ye little flock, and blest, You near Jesus' throne shall rest;

There your seats are now prepared,

There your kingdom and reward.

4 Fear not, brethren, joyful stand
On the borders of
your land:
Jesus Christ, your Father's son,
Bids you, undismay'd, Go ON.

5 Lord! submissive make us go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only thou our leader be,
And we still will follow thee.

REDEEMING LOVE.

1 Now begin the heavenly theme,
Sing aloud in Jesus' name;
Ye, who Jesus' kindness prove,
Triumph in redeeming love.

2 Ye, who see the Father's grace,
Beaning in the Savior's face,
As to Canaan on ye move,
Praise and bless redeeming love.

3 Mourning souls, dry up your tears,

Banis' all your guilty fears;
See your guilt and curse remove,
Cancell'd by redeeming love.

4 Ye, alas! who long have been Willing slaves of death and sin! Now from bliss no longer rove, Stop, and taste redeeming love.

5 Welcome, all by sin oppress'dWelcome to his sacred rest; Nothing brought him from above, Nothing-but redeeming love.

6 Hither, then, your music bring, Strike aloud each joyful string; Mortals, join the hosts aboveJoin to praise redeeming love.

FULL REDEMPTION.

1 WHEN, my Savior, shall I be,
Perfectly resign'd to thee?
Poor and vile in my own eyes,
Only in thy wisdom wise?

2 Only thee content to know,
Ignorant of all below!
Only guided by thy light,
Only mighty in thy might.

3 Fully in my life express
All the heights of holiness;
Sweely let my spirit prove,
All the depths of humble love.

PERFECT LOVE.

1 JESUS comes with all his grace,
Comes to save a fallen race;
Object of our glorious hope,
Jesus comes to lift us up!

2 He hath our salvation wrought;
He our captive souls hath bought:
He hath reconciled to God:
He hath wash'd us in his blood.

3 We are now his lawful right; Walk as children of the light; We shall soon obtain the grace, Pure in heart to see his face.

4 We shall gain our calling's prize;

After God we all shall rise,
Fill'd with joy, and love, and
peace,
Perfected in holiness.
