5 Now Thy word with power endue,
Let it wound, and quicken too;
Make them fly to Thee in prayer,
Haste the great sabbatic year.

6 Now let the thoughtless souls awake,
All their follies now forsake;
Answer, Lord, our daily prayer,
Haste the great sabbatic year.

7 Bring the joyful sabbath on,
Let the gospel tidings run;
Then in ceaseless praise we'll sing,
Hallelujah to our King.

[blocks in formation]

COME, O my soul, look up and see

How swift the moments run!

C. M.

Swift as the wheel of time whirls round,
My closing day brings on.

2 When death, the king of terrors calls,
May I triumphant stand;

And find my Saviour, then my Friend,
To guide me with His hand.

3 Then shall my spirit soar away
To heaven, and see His face;
And sing, with all the ransomed throng,
The wonders of His grace!

[blocks in formation]

YE fleeting charms of earth, farewell,
Your springs of joy are dry;
My soul now seeks another home,
A brighter world on high.

C. M.

2 Cheerful I leave this vale of tears,
Where pains and sorrows grow;
Welcome the day that ends my toil,
And ev'ry scene of woe.

3 No more shall sin disturb my breast,
My God shall frown no more;
The streams of love divine shall yield
Transports, unknown before.

4 Fly then, ye interposing days,
Lord, send the summons down;
The hand that strikes me to the dust,
Shall raise me to a crown.

DOXOLOGIES.

THE Father we adore,

And everlasting Son,

The Spirit of His love and power;

The glorious Three in One.

At the creation's birth,

The song then sung on high,

S. M.

Shall sound through ev'ry age, on earth,
And through eternity.

GL

LORY to God the Father's name,
To Jesus, who for sinners died;
The Holy Spirit claims the same,
By whom our souls are sanctified.

2 Thy praise was sung when time began,
By angels through the starry spheres;
And shall, as now, be sung by man,
Through vast eternity's long years.

HE Father, who sits on the throne,
The Lamb, who redeemed us with blood,
The Spirit, who seals us His own,
We praise and adore as our God.

SAI

AINTS and angels, join in concert,
Sing the praises of the Lamb;
While the blissful realms of glory
Sweetly echo with His name.
Hallelujah!

[ocr errors]

Sinners, here may sing the same.

MPTIED of earth, I fain would be,
The world, myself, and all but Thee;
Only reserved for Christ that died,
Surrendered to the Crucified.

2 Removed afar from noise and strife,
The lust, the pomp, and pride of life,
Lord, take my heart, assert Thy right,
And put all other Lords to flight.

SHO

HOW me Thy glory, dearest Lord,
Which shines in Jesu's face;

A view of covenant love afford
A subject of Thy grace

2 Show me Thy glory, in the plan,
Which makes salvation free;

Show me Thy glory, in the Man,
Who lived and died for me.

3 Within that rock where Thou art seen,
Thy glory, Lord, unfold,

Until, without a cloud between,
Thy glory I behold.

YES

ES, Lord, we will remember Thee,
Will ne'er forget Thy love divine;
We'll never cease to sing the cross,

Which made Thee ours, and made us Thine.

2 We will commemorate Thy death,
Till Thou on earth again appear:
Meanwhile remember, gracious Lord,
Thy poor unworthy followers here.

434

LORD, how divine Thy comforts are!
How heavenly is the place!
Where Jesus spreads the sacred feast
Of His redeeming grace.

2 Here the rich bounties of our God,
And heavenly glories shine;

Here Jesus saith, that I am His,—
And my Beloved's mine.

HAT day of wrath, that dreadful day!
When heaven and earth shall pass away!
What power shall be the sinner's stay?
How shall he meet that dreadful day?

2 When, shrivelling like a parched scroll,
The flaming heavens together roll;
When louder yet, and yet more dread,
Swells the high trump that wakes the dead.

3 Oh! on that day, that wrathful day,
When man to Judgment wakes from clay!
Be thou the trembling sinner's stay,
Tho' heaven and earth shall pass away!
