LAIGHT STREET. C. M.* HASTINGS. 740. King of Saints. 1. COME, ye that love the Saviour's name, 2. Behold your King, your Saviour crowned With glories all divine; And tell the wondering nations round, 3. Infinite power and boundless grace 4. When in his earthly courts we view The glories of our King, We long to love as angels do, And wish like them to sing. 5. And shall we long and wish in vain? 741. The Morning of the Lord's Day. 1. EARLY, my God, without delay, I haste to seek thy face; My thirsty spirit faints away, Without thy cheering grace. 2. So pilgrims, on the scorching sand, Beneath a burning sky, Long for a cooling stream at hand; 3. I've seen thy glory and thy power 4. Not life itself, with all its joys, 5. Thus, till my last expiring day, 742. Delight in the Law. 1. Oн how I love thy holy law: 2. My waking eyes prevent the day, My soul with longing melts away 3. How doth thy word my heart engage, 4. Am I a stranger, or at home, Not honey dropping from the comb 5. When nature sinks, and spirits droop, Thy promises of grace Are pillars to support my hope, 743. 1. COME, happy souls! approach your God, 2. So strange, so boundless was the love, The Father sent his equal Son 3. Thy hands, dear Jesus! were not armed With a revenging rod; No hard commission to perform 4. But all was mercy, all was mild, And wrath forsook the throne, 5. Here, sinners! you may heal your wounds, 6. See, dearest Lord! our willing souls 744. 1. AWAKE-awake the sacred song To our incarnate Lord! Dawn of the Sabbath. 1. AGAIN, the Lord of life and light 2. Oh! what a night was that which wrapt A sinful world in gloom! Oh! what a sun, which broke this day, 3. This day be grateful homage paid, 4. Ten thousand thousand lips shall join 5. If orphans they are left behind, PARTING SOUL. 8s & 7s. Single.* GERMAN. 1. Part-ing soul! the flood a- waits thee, And the billows round thee roar; 747. The Spirit of a dying Christian. 1. PARTING Soul! the flood awaits thee, And the billows round thee roar; Yet, rejoice-the holy city Stands on yon celestial shore. 2. There are crowns, and thrones of glory, There the living waters glide; There the just, in shining raiment, Standing by Immanuel's side. 3. Linger not the stream is narrow, Though its cold, dark waters rise; He, who passed the flood before thee, Guides thy path to yonder skies. 748. The dying Saint comforted. 1. HAPPY soul! thy days are endingAll thy mourning days below: Go, the angel guards attendingTo the sight of Jesus go! 2. Waiting to receive thy spirit, Lo! the Saviour stands above; 3. For the joy he sets before thee, Suffer-with the Lord to reign: 4. Struggle, through thy latest passion, To thy dear Redeemer's breastTo his uttermost salvation To his everlasting rest. 749. Weep not for the departed Saint. 2. While in darkness ye are straying, 3. O, ye mourners! cease to languish . Doxology. PRAISE the Father, earth and heaven, All the fee-ble gently lead-ing, While the lambs thy bo-som share. 750. Christ the Shepherd. 1. SAVIOUR, Who thy flock art feeding With the shepherd's kindest care, All the feeble gently leading, While the lambs thy bosom share 2. Now, these little ones receiving, Fold them in thy gracious arm; 3. Never, from thy pasture roving, 4. Then, within thy fold eternal, Let them find a resting-place; 1. SPIRIT of power and might, behold A world by sin destroyed: Creator Spirit, as of old, Move on the formless void. 2. Give thou the word-that healing sound Shall quell the deadly strife; And earth again, like Eden crowned, 3. If sang the morning stars for joy, When nature rose to view, What strains shall angel-harps employ, When thou shalt all renew! 4. And if the sons of God rejoice To hear a Saviour's name, How will the ransomed raise their voice, To whom that Saviour came! 15. So every kindred, tongue, and tribe, 755. The Joys which are unseen. 1. NOR eye hath seen, nor ear hath heard, 2. But the good Spirit of the Lord 3. Pure are the joys above the sky, 4. Those holy gates for ever bar 756. Lot of the Righteous and the Wicked 1. THAT man, in life wherever placed, |
