257. will declare what He hath done for my soul."-Psalm 66. 1 O ALL ye lands, rejoice in God! Sing praises to his name; 2 And let his faithful servants tell Their souls are saved from death and hell, 3 Tell how the Holy Spirit's grace 4 Oh, then, rejoice, and shout for joy, 1 Он, happy is the man who hears 2 For she hath treasures greater far 3 She guides the young with innocence, 4 According as her labors rise, So her rewards increase; Her ways are ways of pleasantness, 1234. "When shall I see my Father's face ?" 1 ON Jordan's stormy banks I stand, To Canaan's fair and happy land, 2 Oh, the transporting, rapturous scene, That rises to my sight! Sweet fields arrayed in living green, 3 O'er all those wide extended plains There God, the Sun, for ever reigns, 4 No chilling winds, no poisonous breath, 5 When shall I reach that happy place, And be for ever blest? When shall I see my Father's face, And in his bosom rest? 6 Filled with delight, my raptured soul Can here no longer stay; Though Jordan's waves around me roll, 2 Lo! these are they from sufferings great 3 Now, with triumphal palms, they stand 4 His presence fills each heart with joy, 5 The Lamb, that dwells amid the throne, Shall o'er them still preside, Feed them with nourishment divine, 6 In pastures green he 'll lead his flock, And God, the Lord, from every eye Shall wipe off every tear. 1266. "I saw a new heaven and a new earth." Rev. 21: 1-5. 1 Lo! what a glorious sight appears The earth and seas are passed away, 2 From the third heaven, where God resides, That holy, happy place, The New Jerusalem comes down, 3 Attending angels shout for joy, 4 5 "His own soft hands shall wipe the tears From every weeping eye; And pains, and groans, and griefs, and fears, And death itself, shall die." 6 How long, dear Saviour! oh, how long DOXOLOGY. To Father, Son and Holy Ghost, 1 WHEN Overwhelmed with grief, 2 Oh, lead me to the Rock That's high above my head! 3 Within thy presence, Lord, Thou art the tower of my defense, 4 Thou givést me the lot Of those that fear thy name; 607. "My soul, wait thou only upon God." 1 THOU Lord of all above, 2 Forgive my follies past, The crimes which I have done; 3 Guilt, like a heavy load, Upon my conscience lies; To thee I make my sorrows known, 4 The burden which I feel, Thou only canst remove; Do thou display thy pardoning grace, 5 One gracious look of thine Will ease my troubled breast; Oh, let me know my sins forgiven, And I shall then be blest! 1 O GOD! my Strength, my Hope, 2 Oh for a godly fear, A quick, discerning eye, That looks to thee when sin is near, 3 A spirit still prepared, And armed with jealous care, To hardship, grief, and loss; Nor from my hope remove, 656. 66 "My times are in Thy hand." 1 "My times are in thy hand:" 2 "My times are in thy hand," 3 "My times are in thy hand;" Why should I doubt or fear? My Father's hand will never cause His child a needless tear. 671. "My soul waiteth for the Lord." 1 FROM lowest depths of woe, To God I send my cry: Lord! hear my supplicating voice, 2 Shouldst thou severely judge, But thou forgivest, lest we despond, 3 My soul with patience waits For thee, the living Lord; 4 My longing eyes look out For thine enlivening ray, 5 Let Israel trust in God; No bounds his mercy knows— The plenteous source and spring from whence Eternal succor flows. |
