I want to be like Jesus.

1. I WANT to be like Jesus,

So lowly and so meek;

For no one marked an angry word
That ever heard him speak.

2. I want to be like Jesus,

So frequently in prayer;
Alone upon the mountain-top
He met his Father there.

3. I want to be like Jesus;

I never, never find

That he, though persecuted, was
To any one unkind.

4. I want to be like Jesus,

Engaged in doing good,

So that of me it may be said,

"She hath done what she could."

5. Alas! I'm not like Jesus,

185

As any one may see;

O gentle Saviour! send thy grace, And make me like to thee.

We have no Home but Heaven.

1. WE have no home but heaven! A pilgrim's garb we wear; Our path is marked by changes,

And strewed with many a care;

Surrounded with temptation,
By varied ills oppressed,
Each day's experience warns us
That this is not our rest.

2. We have no home but heaven! Then wherefore seek one here? Why murmur at privations,

Or grieve when trouble's near? It is but for a season

That we as strangers roam; And strangers must not look for The comforts of a home.

3. We have no home but heaven!
We want no home beside;
O God! our Friend and Father!
Our footsteps thither guide;
Unfold to us its glory,

Prepare for us its joy,

Its pure and perfect friendship,
Its angel-like employ.

4. We have no home but heaven!
How cheering is the thought!
How bright the expectations
Which God's own word has taught!
With eagle hearts we hasten,

The promised bliss to share!

We have no home but heaven!
Oh! would that we were there!

S. M.
Universal Praise.

1. LET every creature join

To praise the eternal God;

Ye heavenly hosts the song begin,
And sound his name abroad.

2. Thou sun with golden beams,
And moon with paler rays,

Ye starry lights, ye twinkling flames, Shine to your Maker's praise.

3. He built those worlds above,

And fixed their wondrous frame; By his command they stand or move, And ever speak his name.

4. By all his works above

His honors be expressed;

But saints, who taste his saving love, Should sing his praises best.

S. M.

The Lord will give Grace and Glory. 1. COME, we who love the Lord,

And let our joys be known; Join in a song with sweet accord, And thus surround the throne.

2. Let those refuse to sing,

Who never knew our God; But children of the heavenly King Should speak their joys abroad.

3. The men of grace have found
Glory begun below:
Celestial fruits on earthly ground,
From faith and hope may grow.

4. The hill of Zion yields

A thousand sacred sweets,

Before we reach the heavenly fields, Or walk the golden streets.

5. Then let our songs abound,

And every tear be dry;

143

We're marching through Immanuel's ground To fairer worlds on high.

S. M.

The Accepted Time.

1. Now is the accepted time,
Now is the day of grace;
Now, sinners, come, without delay,
And seek the Saviour's face.

2. Now is the accepted time-
The Saviour calls to-day;
To-morrow it may be too late,—
Then why should you delay?
8. Now is the accepted time,-
The gospel bids you come:
And every promise, in his word,
Declares there yet is room.
4. Lord, draw reluctant souls,

And feast them with thy love; Then will the angels swiftly fly, To bear the news above.
