No faith could do me real good,
That did not work by love.

6 O grant me then this one request,
And I'll be satisfied;
That love divine may rule my breast,
And all my actions guide.

Hymn 336. L. M.

Having loosed the pains of death. Acts ii. 24.

19IS Jesus calls my soul away,
I hear his voice, and I obey;
For sure his wond'rous power to save,
Strangely perfumes the silent grave.

2 My weakness, weariness, and pain,
By Jesu's love I now sustain;
To heal the wounds of sin and death,
He bids me look to him by faith.

3 This tott'ring frame I feel give way;
My sight decays, I lose the day;
But sure I feel the power divine,
And heavenly glories round me shine.

4 In love triumphant now I sing,
Death and the grave have lost their sting,
Adieu to sorrow, grief, and pain,
I with my Jesus soon shall reign.

5 O the bright glories of the place!
What pleasing smiles from Jesu's face!
Too bright for mortal sight to bear;
"Tis heaven itself to see and hear.

Hymn 337. C. М.

And at midnight there was a cry made, behold,

*

the Bridegroom cometh. Matt. xxv. 6.

1 JOIN all ye ransom'd sons of grace,

The holy joy prolong,
And shout to the Redeemer's praise
A solemn midnight song.

2 Blessing, and thanks, and love, and might,
Be to our Jesus given,
Who turns our darkness into light,
Who turns our hell to heaven.

3 Thither our faithful souls he leads;
Thither he bids us rise,
With crowns of joy upon our heads,
To meet him in the skies.
4 To seal the universal doom,
The skies he soon shall bow;
But if thou must at midnight come,
O let us meet thee now.

FINIS.

Buried in shadows of the night.
