.3 My feet shall travel all the length Of the celestial road,

And march with courage in thy strength,
To see my Father God.

4 When I am fill'd with sore distress
For some surprising sin,
I'll plead thy perfect righteousness,
And mention none but thine.

5 How will my lips rejoice to tell
The victories of my King!
My soul, redeem'd from sin and hell,
Shall thy salvation sing.

6 Awake, awake, my tuneful powers,
With this delightful song;

I'll entertain the darkest hours,
Nor think the season long.

WATTS.

1 Salvation! O, the joyful sound!
'Tis pleasure to our ears:
A sovereign balm for ev'ry wound,
A cordial for our fears.

2 Buried in sorrow, and in sin,
At hell's dark door we lay;
But we arise by grace divine
To see a heavenly day.
3 Salvation! let the echo fly
The spacious earth around,
While all the armies of the sky
Conspire to raise the sound."

4 Salvation! O, thou bleeding Lamb,
To thee the praise belongs!
Salvation shall inspire our hearts,
And dwell upon our tongues.

Living to Christ. DODDRIDGE. 1 My gracious Lord, I own thy right To every service I can pay, And call it my supreme delight

To hear thy dictates and obey. 2 What is my being but for theeIts sure support, its noblest end? 'Tis my delight thy face to see,

And serve the cause of such a Friend.

3 'Tis to my Saviour I would liveTo him who for my ransom died; Nor could all worldly honor give

Such bliss as crowns me at his side.

4 His work my hoary age shall bless, When youthful vigor is no more,

3 My friends are so dear unto me, Our hearts are united in love: Where Jesus is gone we shall be, In yonder blest mansions above. 4 Then why so unwilling to part, Since there we shall all meet again? Engraved on Immanuel's heart,

At distance we cannot remain.

5 O, when shall we see that bright day,
And join with the angels above,
Set free from these prisons of clay,
United with Jesus in love!

6 With Jesus we ever shall reign,
And all his bright glories shall see,
And sing, Hallelujah! amen!
Amen! even so let it be.

2 The terrors of law and of God With me can have nothing to do; My Saviour's obedience and blood

Hide all my transgressions from view. 3 The work which his goodness began, The arra of his strength will complete; His promise is Yea and Amen,

And never was forfeited yet:

4 Things future, nor things that are now,
Not all things below nor above,
Can make him his purpose forego,
Or sever my soul from his love.

5 My name from the palms of his hands
Eternity will not erase;
Impress'd on his heart it remains
In marks of indelible grace:
6 Yes! I to the end shall endure,
As sure as the earnest is given:
More happy, but not more secure,
The glorified spirits in heaven.
