1. Je-sus! Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the bil-lows near me roll, While the tem- pest still is high; Hide me, O my Saviour! hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe in-to the ha-ven guide; O receive my soul at last! A-MEN. The fellow-ship of kin-dred minds Is like to that a-bove. A-MEN. 2 Before our Father's throne We pour our ardent prayers; And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, 4 When we asunder part, Our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear; 226 Raphael. S. M. It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again. John Fawcett. From G. DONNIZETTI. 1. O Son of Man, Thy-self has proved Our trials and our tears; b3 Life's thankless toil and scant repose, Death's ag- o-nies and fears. A-MEN. 2 In all things like Thy brethren Thou Wast made, yet free from sin; 3 0 Son of God, in glory raised, There by Thy pleadings and Thy grace 4 Brother and Saviour, Friend and Judge, To Thee, O Christ, be given, To bind upon Thy crown the names Joseph Anstice. 227 Belmont.

God, in the gospel of His Son, Makes His eternal counsels known: Where love in all its glory shines, And truth is drawn in fair-est lines. A-MEN. 2 Here sinners, of an humble frame, 3 The prisoner here may break his chains, 4 Here faith reveals to mortal eyes O grant us grace, Almighty Lord, 231 1 I love the sacred Book of God! 2 Sweet Book! in thee my eyes discern 3 While I am here, these leaves supply 232 The heavens declare Thy glory, Lord! 2 The rolling sun, the changing. light, It touched and glanced on every land. Nor shall Thy spreading gospel rest, Till thro' the world Thy truth has run, Till Christ has all the nations blessed, That see the light, or feel the sun. Isaac Watts, 1719. |
