5 Render'd safe by His protection,
We shall pass the watery waste;
Trusting to His wise direction,
We shall gain the port at last;
And with wonder

Think on toils aud dangers past.

6 O what pleasures there await us!

There the tempests cease to roar: There it is that those who hate us Can molest our peace no more: Trouble ceases

On that tranquil, happy shore.

1 FROM earth the Saviour's gone,
And stands before our God;
And sprinkled now is all the throne,
With His atoning blood.

2 No fiery vengeance now,

No burning wrath comes down, Where Justice calls for sinners' blood, The Saviour shews His own.

3 Then may our joyful tongues
Our Maker's praises sing;

Jesus, the Priest, receives our songs,
And bears them to the King.

4 We bow before his face,

And sound His glories high:
"Hosanna to the God of grace,
That brought the guilty nigh."

182.-L. M.

1 FROM all that dwell below the skies, Let the Creator's praise arise

;

Let the Redeemer's name be sung,
Through every land, by every tongue.

2 Eternal are Thy mercies, Lord!
Eternal truth attends Thy word;

Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore, "Till suns shall rise and set no more.

183.- -S. M.

1 WHO trust unto the Lamb, Whom we in heaven see,

Are cleansed by blood from guilt and shame, From condemnation free.

2 In counsels deep of old,

The sons of God they were; And all the lambs of Jesus' fold Were blest in Jesus there.

3 This union ne'er shall break,
Though earth's strong columns bow;
The strong, the tempted, and the weak,
Are one in Jesus now.

4 Then, saints, lift up your heads,
You're form'd in Christ anew;
And tho' thro' earth destruction spreads,
No danger reaches you.

5 Should storms of trouble rise,
Or deadly foes assail;
Your anchor safe on Jesus lies,
Your hope's within the vail.

1 0 Love divine, how sweet Thou art,
When shall I find my longing heart
All taken up by Thee?

O may I pant, and thirst to prove
The greatness of redeeming love,
The love of Christ to me!

2 God only knows the love of God,
O that it were more shed abroad
In each poor longing heart!
For love I'd sigh, for love I'd pine;
This only portion, Lord, be mine,
Be mine this better part!

3 0 that I may for ever sit
Like Mary, at the Master's feet!
Be this my happy choice;
My only care, my only bliss,

My joy, my heaven on earth be this,
To hear the Bridegroom's voice.

4 O that I may, like favour'd John,
Recline my wearied soul upon

The dear Redeemer's breast! From care, and sin, and sorrow free; Give me, O Lord, to find in Thee My everlasting rest!

185.—7, 6.

10 JESUS, gracious Saviour,
Upon the Father's throne,
Whose wond'rous love and favour
Have made our cause Thine own;
Thy people to Thee ever

For grace and help repair,
For Thou they know wilt never
Refuse their griefs to share.

2 O Lord, through tribulation
Our weary journey lies,
Through scorn and sore temptation,
And watchful enemies;
"Midst never-ceasing dangers

We through the desert roam,
As pilgrims here, and strangers,
We seek the rest to come.

3 O Lord, Thou too once hasted
This weary desert through,
Once fully tried and tasted
Its bitterness and woe;
And thence Thy heart is tender,
In truest sympathy,

Though now the heavens render
All praise to Thee on high.
4 0 by Thy Holy Spirit
Reveal to us Thy love,
The joy we shall inherit

With Thee, our Head, above:
May all this consolation

Our trembling hearts sustain-
Sure-though through tribulation-
The promised rest to gain.

186.-C. M.

1 O LORD, when we the path retrace
Which Thou on earth hast trod,
To man Thy wondrous love and grace,
Thy faithfulness to God ;-

2 Thy love, by man so sorely tried,
Proved stronger than the grave;
The very spear that pierced Thy side
Drew forth the blood to save ;--

3 Faithful amidst unfaithfulness, 'Midst darkness only light,

Thou didst Thy Father's name confess, And in His will delight ;
