4 I now depart, I leave you here, And may we all henceforth appear, 3 And if we never meet again, 6 There we shall join to sing God's praise, And all his wonders tell, And triumph in his holy ways, So brethren fare you well. HYMN 105. The Christian's Warrant. THO' troubles assail and dangers affright, Tho' friends should all fail,and foes all unite, Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide, The promise assures us the Lord will provide. 2 The birds without barn or storehouse are fed, From them let us learn to trust in our head; His saints, what is fitting shall ne'er be deny'd, So long as it's written, the Lord will provide. 3 We all may, like ships, by tempest be tost, On perilous deeps, but shall not be lost; Tho' Satan enrages the wind and the tide, Yet scripture engages, the Lord will provide 4 His call we'll obey, like Abram of old, We know not the way, but faith makes us bold, For tho' we are strangers we have a sure 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 (tho' oft he has try'd) The heart-cheering promise, the Lord will [provide.] 6 He tells us we're weak, our hope is in vain, The good that we seek we ne'er shall obtain ; · Butwhen suchsuggestions ourgraceshavetry'd This answers all questions-the Lord will [provide.] 7 Nostrength of our own,or goodnesswe claim," Our trust is all thrown on Jesus' own name; In this our strong tower for safety we hide, The Lord is our power, the Lord will provide, 8 When life sinks apace,and death is in view, The word of his grace shall comfort us thro2. Nofearing nor doubting withChrist on our side We hope to die shouting,the Lord will provide. HYMN 106. -JOHN XII. 32. The attraction of the cross. 2 Behold a purple torrent run Down from his hands and head ! The crimson tide puts out the sun, His groans awake the dead. 3 The trembling earth the dark'ned sky, Proclaim the truth aloud, And with th' amaz❜d Centur'an cry, "This is the son of God!" 4 So great, so vast a sacrifice, If God's own son thus bleeds and dies, 5 O that these cords of love divine, HYMN 107. Precious Promises. 2 PETER, iii. 4. How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in his excellent word, What more can he say than to you he hath said You who unto Jesus for refuge have fled ? 2 In ev'ry condition, in sickness, in health, In poverty's vale, or abounding in wealth, At home and abroad, on the land. on the sea, As thy days may demand so shall thy strength be. 3 Fear not, I am with thee.O be not dismay'd, I, I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand. 4 When thro' the deep waters, I call thee to The rivers of woe shall not thee o'erflow, [go, For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. 5 When thro' fi'ry trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace all-sufficient shall be thy supply; The flame shall not hurt thee I only design, Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine. 6 Evendown to old age,all my people shall prove My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love; Andwhen hoary hairs shall their templesadorn Like lambs theyshallstill in my bosom beborne. 7 The soul that on Jesus hath lean'd for repose I will not, I will not desert to his foes; Thatsoul tho'all hell should endeavor to shake I'll never-no never-no never forsake. HYMN 108. Pleading with God under Afflictions, WAY should a living man complain 2 No, Lord, I'll patiently submit, Nor ever dare rebel; Yet sure I may here at thy feet; My painful feelings tell. Thou seest what floods of sorrows riss, One trouble to another cries, 4 From fear to hope, and hope to fear My shipwreck'd soul is tust, Til: I am tempted in despair, Yet thro' the stormy clouds I'll look, Once more to thee my God, O fix my soul upon a rock, Beyond the raging flood. 6 One look of mercy from thy face, HYMN 109. The Gospel Trumpet. HARK! how the Gospel trumpet sounds, ,2 Hail, all victorious conqu'ring Lord, And brought salvation thro' thy name, 3 Fight on ye conquering saints, fight on, 4 Thy blood dear Jesus once was spilt, |
