CEDRON. C. P. M. TH. HASTINGS. 6 4 1. Beyond, where Cedron's waters flow, Behold the suffering Saviour go To sad Gethsema - ne; His coun-te-nance is all di-vine, Yet grief appears in every line. 396. C. P. M. 397. C. P. M.* 1. O Lord! how happy should we be 2. How far from this our daily life! 3. Could we but kneel, and cast our load, E'en while we pray, upon our God, Then rise with lightened cheer- 4. We can not trust Him as we should, Yet birds and flow'rets round us preach, 5. Lord, make these faithless hearts of ours * Sing ARNON. RILDA. L. M. ရာ 1. Just as Melody by Mrs. M. DE L. LOVE. I am-with-out one plea, But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that Thou bid'st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come! 398. L. M. 2. Just as I am-and waiting not To rid my soul of one dark blot, 3. Spirit of glory and of God! Long hast Thou deigned my guide to be; To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot, 4. I come to join that countless host, 3. Just as I am-though tossed about 4. Just as I am-poor, wretched, blind; Sight, riches, healing of the mind, Yea, all I need, in Thee to find, O Lamb of God, I come! I come! 5. Just as I am-Thou wilt receive; O Lamb of God, I come! I come! 6. Just as I am-Thy love unknown 399. L. M. 1. GOD of my life! Thy boundless grace, 2. Jesus, my hope, my rock, my shield! Saviour! I come, I come to Thee. Who praise Thy name unceasingly; Blest Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! My God! I come, I come to Thee. 400. L. M. 1. THOU only Sovereign of my heart, My Refuge, my almighty Friend- A wretched wanderer from my Lord? On these my fainting spirit lives; While Thou art near, in vain they call; One smile, one blissful smile of Thine, My dearest Lord, outweighs them all. 5. Thy name my inmost powers adore; Thou art my life, my joy, my care; Depart from Thee-'t is death-t is more'T is endless ruin, deep despair! 6. Low at Thy feet my soul would lie; Here safety dwells, and peace divine; MRS. STEELE BADEN. L. M. TH. HASTINGS. 1. Oh that I could for ever dwell, De-lighted at the Saviour's feet; Be-hold the form I love so well, And all His ten-der words re peat. 4.2. 401. L. M. 2. The world shut out from all my soul, 3. This is the hidden life I prize, A life of penitential love; 4. When all I am I clearly see, And freely own, with deepest shame; 5. Thus would I live till nature fail, The proffered benefit embrace, 2. The seeing eye, the feeling sense, 3. The guiltless shame, the sweet distress, The wonder-"Why such love to me?" 4. The o'erwhelming power of saving grace, 404. L. M. C. WESLEY. 1. THOUGH all the world my choice deride, 2. Sweet is the vision of Thy face, And kindness o'er Thy lips is shed; Lovely art Thou, and full of grace, And glory beams around Thy head. 3. Thy sufferings I embrace with Thee, Thy poverty and shameful cross; The pleasures of the world I flee, And deem its treasures only dross. 4. Be daily dearer to my heart, And ever let me feel Thee near; G. TERSTEEGAN. WINDHAM. L. M. READ. 1. Stay, Thou insult ed Spirit, stay! Though I have done Thee such de-spite, 405. L. M. 1. STAY, thou insulted Spirit, stay! Though I have done Thee such despite, Cast not a sinner quite away, Nor take Thine everlasting flight. 2. Though I have most unfaithful been Of all whoe'er Thy grace received; Ten thousand times Thy goodness seen, Ten thousand times Thy goodness grieved ; 3. Yet O! the chief of sinners spare, In honor of my great High Priest; 4. O Lord, my weary soul release, And raise me by Thy gracious hand; 406. L. M. C. WESLEY. 1. SHOW pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive; Are not Thy mercies large and free? 2. My crimes are great, but don't surpass 3. O wash my soul from every sin, 4. My lips with shame my sins confess, 5. Should sudden vengeance seize my breath, 407. L. M. WATTS. 1. WHEN Jesus' friend had ceased to be, Still Jesus' heart its friendship kept"Where have ye laid him?" "Come and see," 2. Lord! not in sepulchres alone 4. And let those eyes, with shepherd care, Their moving watch above us keep; Till love the strength of sorrow wear, And as Thou weepedst, we may weep. 5. For surely we may weep to know, So dark and deep our spirit's stain, MRS. BROWNING. 408. L. M. 1. My sufferings all to Thee are known, 2. For whom didst Thou the cross endure? 3. Art Thou not touched with human woe? 5. The day of small and feeble things, C. WESLEY. 2. I hoped that in some favored hour At once He'd answer my request; 3. Instead of this, He made me feel 4. Yea inore, with His own hand He seemed Intent to aggravate my woe; Crossed all the fair designs I schemed, 4. "Lord, why is this," I trembling cried— 4. "These inward trials I employ, From self, and pride, to set thee free; And break thy schemes of earthly joy, That thou may'st seek tly all in Me." NEWTON. 409. L. M. 1. HERE at Thy cross, my dying Lord, I lay my soul beneath Thy love, Beneath the droppings of Thy blood, Jesus, nor shall it e'er remove. 2. Not all that tyrants think or say, With rage and lightning in their eyes, Nor hell shall fright my heart away, Should hell with all its legions rise. 3. Should worlds conspire to drive me thence, 4. But speak, my Lord, and calm my fear; 5. Yes, I'm secure beneath Thy blood, And all my foes shall lose their aim; Hosanna to my dying Lord, And my best honors to His name. WATTS. 411. L. M. 1. O THAT my load of sin were gone, 2. Rest for my soul I long to find; 4. Fain would I learn of Thee, my God; 5. I would, but Thou must give the power, C. WESLEY. 410. L. M. 1. I ASKED the Lord that I might grow In faith, and love, and every grace; Might more of His salvation know, And seek more earnestly His face. DOXOLOGY. L. M. GLORY to Jesus, who returns In pomp triumphant to the sky, With Thee, O Father, and with Thee, O Holy Ghost, eternally. |
