cr[4 Great, and ever greater,

Are Thy mercies here;
True and everlasting

Are the glories there;
Where no pain nor sorrow,

Toil nor care, is known;
Where the angel-legions
Circle round Thy throne.
5 Dark, and ever darker,

Was the wintry past;
f Now a ray of gladness

O'er our path is cast;
Every day that passeth,
Every hour that flies,
Tells of love unfeigned,
Love that never dies.

mf 6 Clearer still, and clearer,
Dawns the light from heaven,
In our sadness bringing
News of sins forgiven;
cr Life has lost its shadows,
Pure the light within;
Thou hast shed Thy radiance
On a world of sin.]

[blocks in formation]

f7 Brighter still, and brighter, Glows the western sun,

dim Shedding all its gladness

O'er our work that's done;
Time will soon be over,
Toil and sorrow past;
May we, Blessed Saviour,
Find a rest at last!

cr 8 Onward, ever onward,

Journeying o'er the road
Worn by saints before us,
Journeying on to God;
Leaving all behind us,
May we hasten on,
Backward never looking
Till the prize is won.

f9 Higher then, and higher,
Bear the ransomed soul,
Earthly toils forgotten,
Saviour, to its gaol;
ff Where, in joys unthought of,
Saints with angels sing,
Never weary, raising

Praises to their King. Amen.

[graphic][subsumed][subsumed][subsumed][merged small]

FOR a thousand tongues to sing My great Redeemer's praise; The glories of my God and King, The triumphs of His grace.

mf 2 My gracious Master, and my God, Assist me to proclaim,

cr To spread through all the earth abroad The honours of Thy name.

3 Jesus, the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease,
'Tis music in the sinner's ears;
'Tis life and health and peace.

mf 4 He breaks the power of cancelled sin; He sets the prisoner free;

His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.

mf 5 He speaks, and listening to His voice, New life the dead receive;

The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
The humble poor believe.

f[6 Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Saviour come;
And leap, ye lame, for joy.]

f7 Look unto Him, ye nations; own
Your God, ye fallen race;

Look, and be saved through faith alone,
Be justified by grace. Amen.

C. WESLEY.
