3 My friends are so dear unto me,

Our hearts are united in love:
Where Jesus is gone we shall be,

In yonder blest mansions above.

4 Then why so unwilling to part,

Since there we shall all meet again? Engraved on Immanuel's heart,

At distance we cannot remain.

5 Oh, when shall we see that bright day,
And join with the angels above,
Set free from these prisons of clay,
United with Jesus in love!

6 With Jesus we ever shall reign,

I

And all his bright glories shall see! And sing, Hallelujah! amen! Amen! even so let it be.

AY, brothers, will you meet us,
Say, brothers, will you meet us,
Say, brothers, will you meet us,
On Canaan's happy shore?

2 By the grace of God we'll meet you,
By the grace of God we'll meet you,
By the grace of God we'll meet you,
Where parting is no more.

3 Jesus lives and reigns for ever,
Jesus lives and reigns for ever,
Jesus lives and reigns for ever,
On Canaan's happy shore.
Chorus.

Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
For ever, evermore.

Our courage by the way; While each in expectation lives, And longs to see the day.

6 From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin, we shall be free,

I

And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.

3 But out of all, the Lord

Hath brought us by his love; And still he doth his help afford,

And hides our life above.

4 Then let us make our boast

Of his redeeming power, Which saves us to the uttermost,

Till we can sin no more.

5 Let us take up the cross,

I

Till we the crown obtain ;

And gladly reckon all things loss, So we may Jesus gain.

Our hearts will ne'er repose,
Safe from each blast that blows,
In this dark vale of woes,

• Never-no, never!

2 When shall love freely flow
Pure as life's river?

When shall sweet friendship glow
Changeless forever?

Where the joys celestial thrill,
Where bliss each heart shall fill;
And fears of parting chill

Never-no, never!

NCE more before, we part,
Oh, bless the Saviour's name!

Let every tongue and every
Adore and praise the same.

2 Lord, in thy grace we came,
That blessing still impart ;
We meet in Jesus' sacred name,
In Jesus' name we part.
3 Still on thy holy word

We'll live, and feed, and grow,
And still go on to know the Lord,
And practice what we know.

4 Now, Lord, before we part,

I

Help us to bless thy name; Let every tongue and every heart Adore and praise the same.

P.M.

HEN shall we meet again,

Meet ne'er to sever?

When will peace wreathe her chain Round us forever?

Never-no, never!

4 Soon shall we meet again, Meet ne'er to sever;

I

Soon shall peace wreathe her chain
Round us forever;

Our hearts will then repose
Secure from worldly woes;
Our songs of praise shall close
Never-no, never!

When powers of earth and hell arose Against the Son of God's delight, And friends betrayed him to his foes. 2 Before the mournful scene began, He took the bread, and blessed, and brake ;

The Life of life within our souls,

The cup of our salvation sweet!
We come to show thy dying hour,

Thy streaming vein, thy broken flesh;
And still that blood is warm to save,
And still thy fragrant wounds are
fresh.

3'O Heart, that with a double tide

Of blood and water, maketh pure! O Flesh, once offered on the cross, The gift that makes our pardon sure! 4 Let nevermore our sinful souls The anguish of thy cross renew; Nor forge again the cruel nails. That pierced thy victim body through!

5 Come, Bread of heav'n, to feed our souls!

2 Hail, sacred feast, which Jesus makes, Rich banquet of his Flesh and Blood!

Thrice happy he who here partakes That sacred stream, that heavenly food.

3 Oh let thy table honored be,

And furnished well with joyful guests;

And may each soul salvation see,

This pledge of future glory mine: Jesus, in spirit now appear,

And break the bread, and pour the
wine.

3 From thy dear hand, may I receive
The tokens of thy dying love,
And while I feast on earth, believe
That I shall feast with thee above.

One in our hope of rest above,
One in our joy, our trust, our faith,

One in each other's faithful love; Yet must we part, and parting weep; What else has earth for us in store? Our farewell pangs, how sharp and deep!

Our farewell words, how sad and sore !

3 Yet shall we meet again in peace, To sing the song of festal joy, Where none shall bid our gladness

cease,

And none our fellowship destroy:

Nor bid our festival be done;
