"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ ?"- Rom. 8:35.

"Our most beloved friends must die; and we must die; but death shall never terminate the friendship of Jesus with his humble flock. That sweet, that awful word, makes him ours forever."

Tarry with me, O my Saviour!

For the day is passing by;

See the shades of evening gather,
And the night is drawing nigh:
Tarry with me! tarry with me!
Pass me not unheeded by.

Dimmed for me is earthly beauty;
Yet the spirit's eye would fain
Rest upon thy lovely features;

Shall I seek, dear Lord! in vain ?
Tarry with me, O my Saviour!
Let me see thy smile again.

Many friends were gathered round me,
In the bright days of the past;
But the grave has closed above them,
And I linger here the last:

I am lonely; tarry with me,

Till the dreary night is past.

Dull my ear to earth-born music;

Speak thou, Lord, in words of cheer;

Feeble, tottering my footstep,

Sinks my heart with sudden fear:
Cast thine arms, dear Lord! around me,
Let me feel thy presence near.

Faithful Memory paints before me
Every deed and thought of sin;
Open thou the blood-filled fountain,
Cleanse my guilty soul within:
Tarry, thou forgiving Saviour,
Wash me wholly from my sin.

Feeble, trembling, fainting, dying,
Lord, I cast myself on thee;
Tarry with me through the darkness
While I sleep, still watch by me
Till the morning, then awake me,
Dearest Lord, to dwell with thee!

"Surely I come quickly, amen, even so, come Lord Jesus.” - Rev. 22: 20.

"Secure for thy sins the advocate with the Father; and so, when the hour cometh that thou shalt be summoned to depart, thou shalt have nothing left to do but to welcome the call. 'Now is the accepted time. Do it while the evil days come not. Do it before it must be undone forever.' 'And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come; and let him that heareth say, Come; and let him that is athirst come; and whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Amen.""

Arise, and come to Jesus!

He calleth thee to-day ;
The busy crowd are thronging
The broad and easy way;
No loitering in the foot-path,

No dallying there with sin;
The narrow gate is open,

Arise and enter in!

Arise, and follow Jesus!

Wherever he may lead ;

Though rough the path, or stormy,
Press on with all thy speed.
His feet were torn and bleeding,
Who trod the path for thee;
But where his rest remaineth
He is-and thou shalt be!

God of my life, to thee, I call....
Guide me O thou great Jehovah..

Happy soul, thy days are ended.....
Hope of our hearts, O Lord! appear..
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds..

If God is mine, then present things..
I'm but a stranger here....
I sojourn in a vale of tears..

Jesus, full of all compassion...
Jesus I know hath died for me.
Jesus, in sickness and in pain.

Jesus, lover of my soul.....

Let me be with thee, where thou art.......

Lord, I believe thy every word.. . . . . . Coke and Asbury's H. B.

Lord, it belongs not to my care...

My days are gliding swiftly by...
My God, the covenant of thy love..
My God, the spring of all my joys.
My Jesus, as thou wilt..

My times are in thy hand..
Must Jesus bear the cross alone.

Nearer, my God, to thee......
Now let our souls on wings sublime.

Oh! for a faith that will not shrink.
Oh! for an overcoming faith.....
Often, my God, when most I need.
Oh! let our heart and mind...
O Lord! how happy is the time.
O Lord! my best desires fulfill.
O sacred head! now wounded.
O Saviour! whose mercy..
Oh! speak of Jesus, other names..

Baxter
