In Remembrance of Christ,

2 In Thy holy incarnation,

When the angels sang Thy birth; In Thy fasting and temptation; In Thy labors on the earth; In Thy trial, and rejection;

In Thy sufferings on the tree; In Thy glorious resurrection; May we, Lord, remember Thee.

Rev. Roswell Park. (1807-1869) 1836.

Showing the Lord's Death.
1. Cor. xi. 20.

I WHILE in sweet communion feeding
On this earthly bread and wine,
Saviour, may we see Thee bleeding

On the cross, to make us Thine.
Now our eyes for ever closing

To this fleeting world below,
On Thy gentle breast reposing,
Teach us, Lord, Thy grace to know.

2 Though unseen, be ever near us,

With the still small voice of love, Whispering words of peace to cheer us, Every doubt and fear remove. Bring before us all the story

Of Thy life and death of woe, And, with hopes of endless glory, Wean our hearts from all below. Sir Edward Denny. (1796-) 1839. "Closer than a Brother." (Abridged form.)

Well deserves the name of Friend;

1 TAKE my heart, O Father, take it; Make and keep it all Thine own; Let Thy Spirit melt and break it,

This proud heart of sin and stone. Father, make it pure and lowly,

Fond of peace, and far from strife;
Turning from the paths unholy
Of this vain and sinful life.

2 Ever let Thy grace surround it;
Strengthen it with power divine,
Till Thy cords of love have bound it:
Make it to be wholly Thine.
May the blood of Jesus heal it,

And its sins be all forgiven;
Holy Spirit, take and seal it,
Guide it in the path to heaven.
Sabbath Hymn Bɔɔk. 1858,

"Igjennem Nat og Traengsel."

2 One the light of God's dear presence,
Never in its work to fail,
Which illumes the wild rough places
Of this gloomy haunted vale.
One the object of our journey,

One the faith which never tires,

One the earnest looking forward,
One the hope our God inspires.

[blocks in formation]

I HAIL, Thou God of grace and glory,
Who Thy name hast magnified,
By redemption's wondrous story,
By the Saviour crucified;
Thanks to Thee for every blessing,
Flowing from the Fount of love;
Thanks for present good unceasing,
And for hopes of bliss above.

3 One the strain which mouths of thousands 2 Hear us, as thus bending lowly,

Lift as from the heart of one;

One the conflict, one the peril,
One the march in God begun,
One the gladness of rejoicing

On the Resurrection shore,
With One Father o'er us shining
In His love for evermore.

4 Go we onward, pilgrim brothers,

Visit first the cross and grave,
Where the cross its shadow flingeth,
Where the boughs of cypress wave.
Then, a shaking as of earthquakes,
Then, a rending of the tomb,
Then, a scattering of all shadows,
And an end of toil and gloom.

Bernhardt Severin Ingemann. (1789-1862.)
Tr. by Rev. Sabine Baring Gould. (1834-) 1867.

Near Thy bright and burning throne,
We invoke Thee, God most holy,

Through Thy well-beloved Son;
Send the baptism of Thy Spirit,
Shed the pentecostal fire;
Let us all Thy grace inherit,

Waken, crown each good desire.

3 Bind Thy people, Lord, in union,
With the sevenfold cord of love;
Breathe a spirit of communion
With the glorious hosts above;
Let Thy work be seen progressing;
Bow each heart, and bend each knee,
Till the world, Thy truth possessing,
Celebrates its jubilee.

Rev. Thomas William Aveling. (1815-) 1844

5 And when Thou mak'st Thy jewels up, 915
And sett'st Thy starry crown,
When all Thy sparkling gems shall shine,
Proclaimed by Thee Thine own;

6 May we, a little band of love,
We sinners, saved by grace,
From glory unto glory changed,
Behold Thee face to face.

And saved by grace alone;
Walking in all Thy ways, we find
Our heaven on earth begun.

2 The Church triumphant in Thy love,
Their mighty joys we know;
They sing the Lamb in hymns above,
And we in hymns below.

3 Thee, in Thy glorious realm, they praise,
And bow before Thy throne;
We, in the kingdom of Thy grace:
The kingdoms are but one.

4 The holy to the holiest leads;
From hence our spirits rise;
And he that in Thy statutes treads
Shall meet Thee in the skies.

One Church, one Army.

2 Let saints below in concert sing
With those to glory gone;

For all the servants of our King
In earth and heaven are one.

3 One family, we dwell in Him,

One Church above, beneath, Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death.

4 One army of the living God,

To His command we bow;

Part of the host have crossed the flood, And part are crossing now.

5 E'en now to their eternal home

Some happy spirits fly;

And we are to the margin come,
And soon expect to die.

6 Dear Saviour, be our constant Guide;
Then, when the word is given,
Bid Jordan's narrow stream divide,
And land us safe in heaven.

Rev. Charles Wesley. 1759. ab. and. alt.

The Church militant learning the Church 917 triumphant's Song. ISING we the song of those who stand Around the eternal throne,

Of every kindred, clime, and land,
A multitude unknown.

2 Life's poor distinctions vanish here;
To-day, the young, the old,
Our Saviour and His flock appear
One Shepherd and one fold.

13 Toil, trial, suffering, still await

On earth the pilgrim-throng;
Yet learn we, in our low estate,

The Church triumphant's song.

4 "Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain," Cry the redeemed above, "Blessing and honor to obtain,

And everlasting love."

5 "Worthy the Lamb," on earth we sing, "Who died our souls to save; Henceforth, O Death, where is thy sting? Thy victory, O Grave?"

6 Then, hallelujah, power and praise
To God in Christ be given;
May all who now this anthem raise,
Renew the strain in heaven.

1 BLEST be the dear, uniting love,
That will not let us part;
Our bodies may far off remove,

We still are joined in heart.

2 Joined in one spirit to our Head,
Where He appoints we go,
And still in Jesus' footsteps tread,
And do His work below.

3 Partakers of the Saviour's grace,

The same in mind and heart, Nor joy, nor grief, nor time, nor place, Nor life, nor death can part.
