Now, in a song of grateful praise,
To my dear Lord my voice I'll raise;
With all his saints I'll join to tell
That Jesus hath done all things well.
Wisdom, and power, and love divine,
In all his works, unrivaled, shine,
And force the wondering world to tell
That he alone did all things well.
Howe'er mysterious are his ways,
Or dark and sorrowful my days;
And though my spirit oft rebel,
I know he still doth all things well.
And when I stand before his throne,
And all his ways are fully known,
This note in sweetest strains shall swell,
That Jesus hath done all things well.

433 "The unsearchable riches of Christ.”

C. P. M.
1 Он, could I speak the matchless worth,
Oh, could I sound the glories forth
Which in my Saviour shine!
I'd soar, and touch the heavenly strings,
And vie with Gabriel, while he sings,
In notes almost divine.

2 I'd sing the precious blood he spilt,
My ransom from the dreadful guilt
Of sin and wrath divine:
I'd sing his glorious righteousness,
In which all perfect, heavenly dress,
My soul shall ever shine.

3 I'd sing the characters he bears,
And all the forms of love he wears,
Exalted on his throne:

In loftiest songs of sweetest praise,
I would to everlasting days
Make all his glories known.

1 Он, speak of Jesus! other names

Have lost for me their interest now; His is the only one that claims

To be an antidote for woe:

It falls like music on the ear,
When nothing else can soothe or cheer.
2 Oh, speak of Jesus! - of his power,
As perfect God, and perfect man,
Which day by day, and hour by hour,
As he wrought out the wondrous plan,
Led him, as God, to save and heal;
As man, to sympathize and feel.
3 Oh, speak of Jesus of his death!
For us he lived, for us he died;

""Tis finished," with his latest breath,
The Lord, Jehovah-Jesus, cried:
That death of shame and agony
Won life, eternal life for me!

4 Yes, speak of Jesus, while mine ear
Can listen to a human voice!

That name my parting soul will cheer,
Will bid me ev'n in death rejoice;
Then prove, when these clay bonds are
riven,

My passport at the gates of heaven.

1 COME, heavenly Love, inspire my song
With thine immortal flame,
And teach my heart, and teach my tongue
The Saviour's lovely name.

2 The Saviour!-oh, what endless charms
Dwell in that blissful sound!
Its influence every fear disarms,
And spreads delight around.

3 Wrapped in the gloom of dark despair, We helpless, hopeless lay:

But sovereign mercy reached us there,
And smiled despair away.

The Pearl of great Price.
Matt. 13: 46.

1 YE glittering toys of earth, adieu! A nobler choice be mine;

A real prize attracts my view,
A treasure all divine.

2 Jesus, to multitudes unknown,
O name divinely sweet!
Jesus, in thee, in thee alone,

Wealth, honor, pleasure meet.

C. N

1 My precious Lord, for thy dear name I bear the cross, despise the shame; Nor do I faint while thou art near;

I lean on thee; how can I fear?

2 No other name but thine is given
To cheer my soul in earth or heaven;
No other wealth will I require;
No other friend can I desire.

3 Yea, into nothing would I fall
For thee alone, my All in All;
To feel thy love, my only joy;
To tell thy love, my sole employ.

1 ONE there is, above all others,
Well deserves the name of Friend;
His is love beyond a brother's,
Costly, free, and knows no end.

1 I'VE found the pearl of greatest price;
My heart doth sing for joy;
And sing I must, for Christ is mine
Christ shall my song employ.

2 Christ is my Prophet, Priest, and King: My Prophet full of light;

My great High Priest before the throne;
My King of heavenly might.

3 For he indeed is Lord of lords,
And he the King of kings;
He is the Sun of Righteousness,
With healing in his wings.

4 Christ is my Peace; he died for me,
For me he gave his blood;
And, as my wondrous sacrifice,
Offered himself to God.

5 Christ Jesus is my All in All,
My comfort and my love;
My life below, and he shall be
My joy and crown above.

The Name of Jesus.

1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear!

C. M.

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.

2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary, rest.

3 By thee, my prayers acceptance gain,
Although with sin defiled;
Satan accuses me in vain,

And I am owned a child.

4 Jesus! my Shepherd, Guardian, FriendMy Prophet, Priest, and King;

My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.

5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
And cold my warmest thought;
But when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.

6 Till then I would thy love proclaim,
With every fleeting breath;
And may the music of thy name
Refresh my soul in death.

1 LORD of mercy and of might,
Of mankind the life and light,
Maker, Teacher, Infinite
Jesus, hear and save!

2 Strong Creator, Saviour mild,
Humbled to a little child,

Captive, beaten, bound, reviled-
Jesus, hear and save!

3 Borne aloft on angels' wings,
Throned above celestial things,
Lord of lords, and King of kings -
Jesus, hear and save!

4 Soon to come to earth again,

Judge of angels and of men,

Hear us now, and hear us then:
Jesus, hear and save!

S. M.

Brightest of all on earth that's bright, Come, shine away my sin!

2 O everlasting Truth!

Truest of all that's true,

Sure guide of erring age or youth,
Lead me and teach me too.

3 O everlasting Strength!

Uphold me in the way;

Bring me, in spite of foes, at length, To joy, and light, and day.

4 O everlasting Love!

Well-spring of grace and peace, Pour down thy fullness from above; Bid doubt and trouble cease.

5 0 everlasting Rest!
Lift off life's load of care;
Relieve, revive this burdened breast,
And every sorrow bear.

6 Thou art in heaven our all;

Our all on earth art thou;

Upon thy glorious name we call:
Lord Jesus, bless us now!

1

THOU art the Way: to thee alone
From sin and death we flee;
And he who would the Father seek,
Must seek him, Lord, by thee.

2 Thou art the Truth: thy word alone
True wisdom can impart;
Thou only canst instruct the mind,
And purify the heart.

3 Thou art the Life: the rending tomb
Proclaims thy conqu'ring arm;
And those who put their trust in thee
Nor death nor hell shall harm.

4 Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life: Grant us to know that Way;

That Truth to keep, that Life to win, Which leads to endless day.

446

Praise to Christ in view of the Fullness of S. M his Glory.

1 JESUS, the Christ of God,

The Father's blessed Son!

The Father's bosom thine abode,
The Father's love thine own.

2 Jesus, the Lamb of God,
Who, us from hell to raise,
Hast shed thy reconciling blood,
We give thee endless praise.

3 God, and yet Man, thou art;

True God, true Man art thou:
Of man and of man's earth a part,
One with us thou art now.

4 Great Sacrifice for sin,

Giver of life for life;
Restorer of the peace within,
True Ender of the strife.

5 To thee, the Christ of God,
Thy saints exulting sing
The bearer of our heavy load,
Our own anointed King.

"Come, Holy Spirit, come!"

SPIRIT Divine! attend our prayer,
And make our hearts thy home;
Descend with all thy gracious power:
Come, Holy Spirit, come!

Come as the light: to us reveal
Our sinfulness and woe;

And lead us in those paths of life
Where all the righteous go.

Come as the fire, and purge our hearts,

Like sacrificial flame:

Let our whole soul an off'ring be
To our Redeemer's name.

Come as the dew, and sweetly bless
This consecrated hour;

May barrenness rejoice to own

Thy fertilizing power.

5 Come as the wind, with rushing sound, With Pentecostal grace;

And make the great salvation known, Wide as the human race.

3 Spirit Divine, attend our prayer,

And make our hearts thy home; Descend with all thy gracious power: Come, Holy Spirit, come!

2 We ask not, Lord, the cloven flame,
Or tongues of various tone;
But long thy praises to proclaim
With fervor in our own.

3 No heavenly harpings soothe our ear,
No mystic dreams we share;

Yet hope to feel thy comfort near,
And bless thee in our prayer.

4 When tongues shall cease, and power de

cay,

And knowledge empty prove,

Do thou thy trembling servants stay, With faith, and hope, and love.
