Prov. xviii. 10.

L.M.

1-Rejoice, ye saints, rejoice and praise
The blessings of redeeming grace:
Jesus, your everlasting tower,
Can shield you from the tempest's power.

2-His love's a refuge ever nigh,

His watchfulness as mountains high,
His name's a rock, which winds above,
And waves below, can never move.

3-While all things change, He changes not; He ne'er forgets, though oft forgot; His love's unchangeably the same,

And as enduring as His name.

4-Rejoice, ye saints, rejoice and praise The blessings of this wondrous grace; Jesus, your everlasting tower,

Can bear unmov'd the tempest's power.

John xiv. 1, 2.

P.M.

1-Away with our sorrow and fear!

We soon shall have enter'd our home; The city of saints shall appear,

The day of eternity come;

From earth we shall quickly remove,
To dwell in our native abode,
In mansions of glory above,
Prepar'd by our Father and God.

2-Ah! who upon earth can conceive

The bliss that in heaven they'll share?
And who this dark world would not leave,
And cheerfully seek to be there?—
Where Christ is the light and the sun,
And we by reflection shall shine,
With Him everlastingly one,

And bright in effulgence divine.

3-'Tis good at Thy word to be here,
'Tis better in Thee to be gone,
And see Thee in glory appear,

And rise to a share in Thy throne:
All tears will be wiped from our eyes,
When Thee we behold in the cloud,

And echo the joys of the skies,

And shout to the trumpet of God.

с

1-All that I was, my sin, my guilt,

My death, was all my own :

All that I am I owe to Thee,
My gracious God alone.

2-The evil of my former state
Was mine, and only mine;
The good in which I now rejoice
Is Thine, and only Thine.

3-The darkness of my former state,
The bondage, all was mine;
The light of life in which I walk,
The liberty is Thine.

4-Thy grace first made me feel my sin,
And taught me to believe;
Then, in believing, peace I found,
And now I live, I live.

5-All that I am, e'en here on earth,
All that I hope to be,

When Jesus comes, and glory dawns,
I owe it, Lord, to Thee.

1-We'll sing of Christ, no matter who

Should disapprove the theme :
When He is precious to our view,
We can't but sing of Him.

2-And He is precious in the sight Of all who know His voice :

C.M.

'Twas He who brought them to the light, And taught them to rejoice.

3-'Tis He who cheers them by His smile,
And guards them by His power;

Who keeps them safe from force and guile,
In every trying hour.

4-'Tis He who will conduct them home,
Beyond the reach of ill,

Where all the ransom'd people come,
Where saints for ever dwell.

5-Then let His people make their boast
Of Him, and Him alone,

Who came from heaven to save the lost :
The praise be His alone!

1-When we cannot see our way, Let us trust and still obey;

He who bids us forward go,

Cannot fail the way to show.

2-Though the sea be deep and wide, Though a passage seem denied, Fearless let us still proceed,

Since the Lord vouchsafes to lead.

3-Though it seems the gloom of night,
Though we see no ray of light,
Since the Lord Himself is there,
'Tis not meet that we should fear.

4-Night with Him is never night,
Where He is, there all is light;
When He calls us, why delay?
They are happy who obey.

5--Be it our's then, while we're here,

Him to follow without fear,

Where He calls us,

there to go,

What He bids us, that to do.
