45. The Man of Sorrows. 1. A PILGRIM through this lonely world, 2. That tender heart that felt for all, It found on earth no resting-place, 3. Such was our Lord; and shall we fear That wreathed his brow with thorn? 4. No; facing all its frowns or smiles, Like Him, obedient still, We homeward press, through storm or [calm, 1. BLEST is the man whose softening heart Can feel another's pain; To whom the supplicating eye 2. Who spreads his kind, supporting arms To every child of grief; While secret bounty largely flows 3. To gentle offices of love His feet are never slow; He views, through mercy's melting eye, 49. The Church in the Wilderness. A brother in a foe. 4. He from the bosom of his God Shall present peace receive; And when he kneels before the throne, 47. The cheering Prospect of Heaven. Where saints immortal reign; 3. Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood, While Jordan rolled between. 4. But timorous mortals start and shrink 1. IN the waste, howling wilderness The church is wandering still, 2. Back to the faithless world we turned, 3. Yet full before us, all the while, 4. Yet heaven is raining angel's bread 5. When in thy love, and Israel's sin, ST. ANN'S.* C. M. BOLD AND JOYOUS. DR.

Now the full glories of the Lamb And sheds abroad his grace. 3. My heart and flesh cry out for Thee, While far from thine abode; When shall I tread thy courts, and see My Saviour and my God? 4.

WITH joy we hail the sacred day 2. Thy chosen temple, Lord, how fair! To breathe the humble, fervent prayer, 3. Spirit of grace, Oh, deign to dwell 4. Let peace within her walls be found; Let all her sons unite To spread, with grateful zeal, around, 5. Great God! we hail the sacred day Adorn the heavenly plains; 5. Oh, may I bear some humble part cry, "To be exalted thus:" 3. Jesus is worthy to receive Honor and power divine; And blessings, more than we can give, 4. Let all that dwell above the sky, 5. The whole creation join in one 1. SING to the Lord Jehovah's name, 2. With thanks approach his awful sight, And psalms of honor sing; The Lord's a God of boundless might, 3. Earth, with its caverns dark and deep, Lies in his spacious hand; He fixed the seas what bounds to keep, 4. Come, and with humble souls adore: |
