earllest love.

2 That sweet comfort was mine When the favor divine

He hath loved me, I cried, He hath suffered and died

When at first I believed,

What true joy I received!

5 On the wings of his love,

I was carried above

3 'Twas a heaven below

My Redeemer to know;

And I could not believe

That I ever could grieve,

Than to fall at his feet,

And the story repeat,

And the Lover of sinners adore.

4 Jesus, all the day long,

Was my joy and my song: O that all bis salvation might see!

60 the rapturous height

Of that holy delight

Which I felt in the life-giving blood! Of my Saviour possessed,

I was perfectly blessed,

As if filled with the fulness of God.

8 Farewell, dear friends, I may not stay,
The home I seek is far away;
Where Christ is not, I cannot be-
This land is not the land for me.

4 My hope, my heart, is now on high,
There all my joys and treasures lie;
Where seraphs bow and bend the knee,
O, that's the land, the land for me.

237 Forsaking Sinful Pleasures. WATTS. 1 I send the joys of earth away; Away, ye tempters of the mind! False as the smooth, deceitful sea, And empty as the whistling wind.

2 Your streams were floating me along Down to the gulf of black despair; And while I listened to your song, Your streams had e'en conveyed me there.

3 Lord, I adore thy matchless grace, That warned me of that dark abyss, That drew me from those treacherous seas,

And bade me seek superior bliss. 4 Now to the shining realms above I stretch my hands, and glance mine

eyes;

O for the pinions of a dove,
To bear me to the upper skies!

5 I praised the Lord both night and day
And went from house to house to pray,
And if I met one on the way,
I found I'd something still to say
About this heavenly union.
