5-Just as I am,-Thou wilt receive,

Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,—
Because Thy promise I believe,

O Lamb of God, I come!

6-Just as I am,-Thy love unknown. Has broken every barrier down, Now to be thine, yea, Thine alone,—

O Lamb of God, I come!

1-Give to the winds thy fears,

Hope, and be undismay'd;

S.M.

God hears thy sighs, and counts thy tears,
God shall lift up thy head.

2-Through waves, and clouds, and storms,
He gently clears the way;

Wait thou His time; so shall this night
Soon end in joyous day.

3-Still heavy is thy heart?

Still sink thy spirits down?

Cast off the weight, let fear depart,
And ev'ry care be gone.

4-What though thou rulest not?

Yet heaven, and earth, and hell,
Proclaim God sitting on the throne,
And ruling all things well.

5-Leave to His sovereign sway

To choose and to command
So shalt thou, wond'ring, own His way,
How wise, how strong His hand !

6-Far, far above thy thought,
His counsel shall appear,

When fully He the work hath wrought
That caused thy needless fear.

Psalm xxxi. 15.

1-Our times are in Thy hand,

O God, we wish them there;

Our life, our friends, our souls we leave

Entirely to Thy care.

2-Our times are in Thy hand,

Whatever they may be,

Pleasing or painful, dark or bright,
As best may seem to Thee.

3-Our times are in Thy hand;

Why should we doubt or fear?
A father's hand will never cause
His child a needless tear.

4-Our times are in Thy hand,

Jesus the crucified;

The hand our many sins have pierc'd,
Is now our guard and guide.

S.M.

5—Our times are in Thy hand;
We'll always trust in Thee,
"Till we have left this weary land,
And all Thy glory see.

Heb. xii. 2.

1-When along life's thorny road
Faints the soul beneath the load,
By its cares and sins opprest,
Finds on earth no peace or rest,—
When the wily tempter's near,
Filling us with doubts and fear,
Jesus, to Thy feet we flee,

Jesus, we will look to Thee.

2-Thou, our Saviour, from the throne,
List'nest to Thy people's moan;
Thou, the living Head, dost share
Ev'ry pang Thy members bear.
Full of tenderness Thou art ;
Thou wilt heal the broken heart:

Full of power, thine arm shall quell
All the rage and might of hell.

3-By Thy tears o'er Lazarus shed,
By Thy power to raise the dead,
By Thy meekness under scorn,
By Thy stripes and crown of thorn,

7's:

By that rich and precious blood,

That hath made our peace with God,-
Jesus, to Thy feet we flee,

Jesus, we will cling to Thee.

4-Mighty to redeem and save,

Thou hast overcome the grave;
Thou the bars of death hast riven,
Open'd wide the gates of heaven;
Soon in glory Thou shalt come
Taking Thy poor pilgrims home;
Jesus, then we all shall be,
Ever-ever-Lord, with Thee.

1 Thess. iv. 17.

1-For ever with the Lord!

Amen, so let it be !

Life from the dead is in that word,

'Tis immortality.

2-Here in the body pent,

Absent from Him I roam,

Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home.

3-My Father's house on high,

Home of my soul, how near
At times to faith's illumin'd eye
Thy golden gates appear!

S.M.

4-My thirsty spirit faints

To reach the land I love,

The bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above.

5-Yet clouds will intervene,
And all my prospect flies;
Like Noah's dove, I flit between
Rough seas and stormy skies.

6-Anon the clouds depart,

The winds and waters cease,

While sweetly o'er my gladden'd heart
Expands the bow of peace.

Rom. viii. 1.

1-No condemnation! O my soul,
"Tis God that speaks the word;
Perfect in comeliness art thou,
In Christ thy glorious Lord.

2-In heaven His blood for ever speaks
In God the Father's ear;

His church, the jewels, on His heart
Jesus will ever bear.
