Come, Thou Fount of ev-'ry blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;

D. C.-Praise the mount; I'm fixed up-on it; Mount of Thy re-deem-ing love.

Teach me some me-lo-dious sonnet, Sung by flam-ing tongues a-bove: A - MEN.

FELIX MENDELSSOHN.

1. We would see Je-sus-for the shadows lengthen Across this lit-tle landscape of our life;

We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen, For the last weariness-the final strife. AMEN.

2 We would see Jesus-the great Rock Foundation,
Whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace;
Not life, nor death, with all their agitation,
Can thence remove us, if we see His face.
3 We would see Jesus - other lights are paling,
Which for long years we have rejoiced to see:
The blessings of our pilgrimage are failing,

We would not mourn them, for we go to Thee.
4 We would see Jesus-this is all we're needing,
Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight;
We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading,
Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night!

2 Grace first contrived a way

To save rebellious man;

And all the steps that grace display,
Which drew the wondrous plan.

3 Grace led my roving feet

To tread the heavenly road;
And new supplies each hour I meet,
While pressing on to God.

excellent word! What more can He say, than to you He hath said,-To you, who for

ref-uge to Je-sus have fled? To you, who for ref-uge to Je-sus have fled? A-MEN.

2 "Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,

For I am thy God, I will still give thee aid;

I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by my gracious, omnipotent hand.

3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be with thee thy trouble to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.

4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.

5 "E'en down to old age all my people shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And then, when gray hairs shall their temples adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be borne.

6 "The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,

I will not-I will not desert to his foes;

That soul-though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never-no never, no never forsake!"

George Keith.
