3 As loving as a child who sits And knows no want while it can have So, sitting at Thy feet, my heart Would all its love outpour, And pray that Thou wouldst teach me, Lord, To love Thee more and more. C. M. J. D. BURNS. 1862. 1103 Blessed are they who have not seen, and yet 1 JESUS have believed.-John 20. 29. ESUS, these eyes have never seen The veil of sense hangs dark between 2 I see Thee not, I hear Thee not, And earth hath ne'er so dear a spot 3 Like some bright dream that comes unsought, 4 Yet, though I have not seen, and still I love Thee, dearest Lord, and will, 5 When death these mortal eyes shall seal, The rending veil shall Thee reveal, RAY PALMER. 1858. 1104 1 2 3 4 5 S.M. Not unto us, O Lord but unto Thy name give glory.-Ps. 115. 1. I rest on love Divine; And with unfaltering lip and heart, His cross dispels each doubt; Each thought of unbelief and fear, I trust His truth and might; In Him is only good, In me is only ill; My ill but draws His goodness forth, And me He loveth still. "Tis He who saveth me, And freely pardon gives; I love because He loveth me, I live because He lives. 6 My life with Him is hid, My death has passed away, My clouds have melted into light, S.M. H. BONAR. 1857. 1105 They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount 1 Zion.-Ps. 125. 1.

WESLEY. 1740. 8.8.8.6. 1106 Lord, save us, we perish.-Matt. 8. 25. 1 O! the storms of life are breaking, Faithless fears our hearts are shaking; For our succour undertaking, Lord and Saviour, help us! 2 Lo! the world, from Thee rebelling, 3 On Thine own command relying, 4 Steadfast we, in faith abiding, 5 By Thy birth, Thy cross, Thy passion, C. M. DEAN ALFORD. 1844. 1107 Lead me in Thy truth, and teach me. 1 Ps. 25. 5. FATHER of Love, our Guide, our Friend, Oh, lead us gently on, Until life's trial-time shall end, And heavenly peace be won! We know not what the path may be As yet by us untrod; But we can trust our all to Thee, Our Father and our God. 2 If called, like Abraham's child, to climb The hill of sacrifice, Some angel may be there in time; Deliverance shall arise: Or, if some darker lot be good, 3 Christ by no flowery pathway came; And, till in heaven we sinless bow And faultless anthems raise, W.
