2 When I hear the wicked call 3 When I stand before the throne 4 When the praise of Heaven I hear, 5 Even on earth, as through a glass 6 Chosen not for good in me, Teach me, Lord, on earth to show, 7 Oft I walk beneath the cloud, 8 When in flowery paths I tread, 9 Oft the nights of sorrow reign, 19. "I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand."-2 Tim. iv. 6. 1 "M going to leave all my sadness, TY I'm going to change earth for heaven; There, there all is peace, all is gladness, There pureness and glory are given. Come quickly then, Jesus! Amen! 2 Friends, weep not in sorrow of spirit, But joy that my time here is o'er; the good part to inherit, I go Where sorrow and sin are no more. 3 The shadows of evening are fleeing, Come quickly then, Jesus! Amen! 4 The first-born redeemed from all trouble, (The Lamb that was slain in the throng); Their ardour in praising redouble; Breaks not on the ear the new song? Come quickly then, Jesus! Amen! 5 I'm going to tell their glad story, My voice to unite with their lays. 6 Ye fetters corrupted, then leave me, Come quickly then, Jesus! 20. Amen! "He hath prepared for them a city.”—Heb. xi. 16. 1 ERUSALEM, my happy home! JER When shall my labours have an end, 2 When shall these eyes thy heaven-built walls, And pearly gates behold? Thy bulwarks with salvation strong, 3 O when, thou city of my God, D 4 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom, Nor sin nor sorrow know, Bless'd seats! through rude and stormy scenes, I onward press to you. 5 Why should I shrink at pain and woe, Or feel at death dismay? I've Canaan's goodly land in view, 6 Apostles, Martyrs, Prophets, there 7 Jerusalem! my happy home, My soul still pants for thee, 21. My God will enlighten my darkness."-Psal. xviii. 28. Why, Father, shrink from Thy HY fear the path of grief to tread? decree? If thus my longing soul be led A safer, shorter way to Thee? |
