If yet for me Immanuel lives !: 2 Dispel then, Lord, these shades of night, 222. The Saint's Delivery at Death. TH And pains, and groans, and griefs, and fears, 2 How long, dear Saviour, O how long, HE 223. The Saint's Safety in God. 3 What though a thousand at thy side, 224. The Heart devoted to God. I MY God, my King, thy various praise Shall fill the remnant of my days; Thy grace employ my humble tongue, Till death and glory raise the song. 2 The wings of ev'ry hour shall bear • Some thankful tribute to thine ear ;. And ev'ry setting sun shall see 3 But who can speak thy wond'rous deeds? 225. The everlasting Covenant. I THY word, O God, supports my faith, From thence my hope doth spring; Founded alone on what God saith, 2 Thy word is truth, thy promise sure, 226. To the Trinity. 1 BLESS'D be the Father, and his love, To whose celestial source we owe Rivers of endless joy above, And rills of comfort here below. 2. Glory to thee, great Son of God, I WH 227. Comfort for Mourners. THERE are the mourners, says the Lord, That walk in darkness all the day? Come, make my name your trust and stay. Can give the conscience no repose: Look to my righteousness and live; 228. Growth in Grace. LORD, 'tis a pleasant thing to stand In gardens planted by thy hand : Let me within thy courts be seen, Like a a young cedar fresh and green. There grow thy saints in faith and love, Blest with thy influence from above; Time, that does all things else impair, Still makes them flourish strong and fair. 3 Laden with fruits of age, they shew The Lord is holy, just, and true: None that attend his gates shall find A God unfaithful, or unkind. 229. Free Grace. 1 WHY was I made to hear thy voice, And enter while there's room; When thousands make a wretched choice, 2 'Twas the same love that made the feast, 230. Completeness in Grace. 1 HADI ten thousand gifts beside, I'd cleave to Jesus crucify'd, And build on him alone: For no foundation is there, giv'n 2 Possessing Christ, I all possess ; Bold in his name I dare draw nigh, 231. Self-examination. THY piercing eye, O God, surveys 232. The Same. 1 HOW oft have sin and Satan strove To rend my soul from thee my But everlasting is thy love, God; And Jesus seals it with his blood.. 233. Praise ye the Lord. 1 GLORY be to God on high, God whose glory fills the sky; Hallelujah. 2 Sov'reign Father, heav'nly King, Hallelujak. Thee we now presume to sing; Glad thine attributes confess, Glorious all, and numberless. 3 Hail, by all thy works ador'd, Hail, the everlasting Lord; Hallelujah. Thee, with thankful hearts we prove, 234. Faithfulness of God. 1 THIS God is the God we adore, Our faithful unchangeable friend; And neither knows measure nor end. 2 'Tis Jesus, the first and the last, Whose Spirit shall guide us safe home; 235. A blessed Gospel. 1 BLEST are the souls that hear and know 3 The Lord of glory and defence, 236. Human Weakness and Christ's Strength. L ET me but hear my Saviour say, Then I rejoice in deep distress, Leaning on all-sufficient grace. |
