900. 6s & 5s.

1. YEA, I will extol Thee,

Lord of Life and Light;
For Thine arm upheld me,
Turned my foes to flight.

2. I implored Thy succor,

Thou was swift to save,
To heal my wounded spirit,
And bring me from the grave.

3. Grief may, like the pilgrim,

Through the night sojourn, Yet shall joy, to-morrow, With the sun return.

4. Thou hast turned my mourning Into minstrelsy;

Girded me with gladness,

Set from thraldom free.

5. Thee my ransomed powers Henceforth shall adore; Thee, my great Deliverer, Bless for evermore!

MONTGOMERY.

901. 6s & 5s.

1. GOD of our salvation! Unto Thee we pray; Hear our supplication, Be our strength and stay. 2. Wretched and unworthy, Poor, and sick, and blind, Prostrate we adore Thee,

Call Thy grace to mind. 3. He that dwelleth near Thee, Safely shall abide; Ever love and fear Thee, In Thy strength confide. 4. Sure is Thy protection, Safe is Thy defence, While in deep affliction, Woe, or pestilence.

5. God of our Salvation!

Saviour, Prince of Peace!
Boundless Thy compassion,
Infinite Thy grace.

6. While with love unceasing,
Humbly we adore;
Grant us Thy rich blessing,
And we ask no more.

9:

907. 7s, 4s & 7s.

1. Head of the church triumphant, We joyfully adore Thee;

Till Thou appear,
Thy members here

Shall sing like those in glory.
We lift our hearts and voices,
In blest anticipation,
And cry aloud,
And give to God
The praise of our salvation.

2. While in affliction's furnace,
And passing through the fire,
Thy love we praise,
That knows our days,
And ever brings us nigher.
We lift our hands exulting
In Thine almighty favor;
The love divine,

That made us Thine,
Shall keep us Thine for ever.

3. Thou dost conduct Thy people Through torrents of temptation; Nor will we fear,

While Thou art near,
The fire of tribulation.

The world, with sin and Satan,
In vain our march opposes;
By Thee we will

Break through them all,
And sing the song of Moses.

4. Faith now beholds the glory
To which Thou wilt restore us;
And earth despise,
For that high prize

Which Thou hast set before us.
And if Thou count us worthy,
We each, like dying Stephen,
Shall see Thee stand

At God's right hand,
To take us up to heaven.

Arranged from GREATOREX'S Coll.

4. From sea to sea, from shore to shore, May Jesus be adored;

And earth, with all her millions, shout
Hosannas to the Lord.

910. C. M.

1. ALAS, the utter emptiness! What life has it to give?

BURDER.

O, shall it God's own fire oppress?
Soul, wilt thou slightly live?

2. Thyself amid the silence clear,
The world far off and dim,
Thy vision free, the Bright One near,
Thyself alone with Him.

3. The silence thronged gloriously
With business how divine!
God's glory passing unto thee-
All heaven becoming thine.

4. The rapture, mighty, measureless,
In each eternal thing-

The mingling with Almightiness-
The dwelling by Life's Spring!

5. Thus sweetly live, thus greatly watchSoul, be but inly bright!

All outer things must smile, must catch
Thy strong, transcendent light.

6. Near Thee no darkness dares abide,
Thou makest all things shine;
Soul, whom the Lord has glorified,
Is not all glory thine?
