"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, Dimmed for me is earthly beauty; Shall I seek, dear Lord! in vain ? Many friends were gathered round me, 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: Faithful Memory paints before me Feeble, trembling, fainting, dying, "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 ; No dallying there with sin; Arise and enter in! Arise, and follow Jesus! Wherever he may lead ; Though rough the path, or stormy, •Cowper 84 God of my life, to thee, I call.... Happy soul, thy days are ended..... If God is mine, then present things..
