1215 Matt. 6:10. HASTINGS. 4 Let me hear thy voice behind me, JESUS, while our hearts are bleeding 2 Though cast down, we 're not forsaken; Though afflicted, not alone; Thou didst give, and thou hast taken; 3 Tho' to-day we 're filled with mourning, 5 Let me, underneath my weakness, Feeble, trembling, fainting, dying, 6 Tarry with me, O my Saviour! CEASE, ye mourners, cease to languish 2 While our silent steps are straying Lonely thro' night's deepening shade, 3 Light and peace at once deriving 4 Now, ye mourners, cease to languish : HORNE. 2 Ready to be freed from sorrow, SEE the leaves around us falling, "T is alas! the truth we tell. 3 "Youth, on length of days presuming, Who the paths of pleasure tread, View us, late in beauty blooming, Numbered now among the dead. 4 "Though as yet no losses grieve you, Gay with health and many a grace, Let no cloudless skies deceive you, Summer gives to autumn place. Tears and partings, toil and pain; 3 Ready with the just made perfect, 4 As the bird with warbling music 5 So the dying saint, departing, Joyful takes his heavenward way; Life, and time, and gladness blending In the light of perfect day. His blood flows most freely in streams of salvation. Hallelujah to the Lamb, who hath purchased our pardon, We'll praise him again, when we pass over Jordan! 2 Ye souls that are wounded! oh, flee to the Saviour! He calls you in mercy, 't is infinite favor; Your sins are increasing, escape to the mountain His blood can remove them, it flows from the fountain. Hallelujah to the Lamb, etc. 3 O Jesus ride onward, triumphantly glorious! O'er sin, death, and hell, thou art more than victorious; 4 Thy name is the theme of the great congregation, While angels and men raise the shout of salvation. Hallelujah to the Lamb, etc. With joy shall we stand, when escaped to the shore; With harps in our hands, we'll praise him the more; We'll range the sweet plains on the banks of the river, And sing of salvation forever and ever! Hallelujah to the Lamb, etc. POMEROY. 7s & 6s. 1. No, no, it is not dying To go un-to our God; This gloomy earth forsak-ing, 9:24 9: Our journey homeward taking, A - long the starry road, A-long the starry road. 1224 P.M. John 14:19. JESUS lives! no longer now GELLERT. 1226 P. M. 2 Cor. 5: 4. THERE is a calm for those who weep, 2 The storm that racks the wintry sky 3 I long to lay this painful head And aching heart beneath the soil; To slumber, in that dreamless bed, From all my toil. 4 The soul, of origin divine, God's glorious image, freed from clay, In heaven's eternal sphere shall shine, A star of day. 5 The sun is but a spark of fire, A transient meteor in the sky: VITAL spark of heavenly flame! 2 Hark! they whisper; angels say, What is this absorbs me quite ?— 3 The world recedes-it disappears! 66 |
