"They that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee."

I mf WE cannot always trace the way
Where Thou, our gracious Lord, dost
move;

cres But we can always surely say
That Thou art Love.

2 When fear its gloomy cloud will fling
O'er earth, our souls to heaven above,
As to their sanctuary, spring;
cres For Thou art Love.

EIN' FESTE BURG.*

3

When mystery shrouds our darkened
path,

We'll check our dread, our doubts reprove;
In this our soul sweet comfort hath,
cres That Thou art Love.

4 mf Yes! Thou art Love; a truth like this
Can every gloomy thought remove,
And turn all tears, all woes to bliss;
f Our God is Love! Amen.

8,7,8,7,6,6,6,6,7. •

Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott.

* For another version of this Tune see Hymn 262.
"I will sing unto the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously."

If REJOICE to-day with one accord,

Sing out with exultation;
Rejoice, and praise our mighty Lord,
Whose arm hath brought salvation;
His works of love proclaim
The greatness of His name;
dim For He is God alone,

Who hath His mercy shown; ff Let all His saints adore Him!

2 When in distress to Him we cried, He heard our sad complaining;

cres Oh! trust in Him, whate'er betide, His love is all-sustaining;

f Triumphant songs of praise
To Him our hearts shall raise;
Now every voice shall say,-
ff"Oh! praise our God alway;

Let all His saints adore Him!"

3 f Rejoice to-day with one accord,
Sing out with exultation;
Rejoice, and praise our mighty Lord,
Whose arm hath brought salvation;
His works of love proclaim
The greatness of His name ;

dim For He is God alone,

Who hath His mercy shown;

ff Let all His saints adore Him! Amen.

4,4,7,8,8,7.

I mf THY goodness, Lord, our souls confess, 4 cres But chiefly Thy compassions, Lord, Thy goodness we adore ;

"Thou shalt remember all the way by which the Lord thy God led thee."

If WHEN all Thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love, and praise.

Divide Thy works no more, cres My ever grateful heart, O Lord, Thy mercy shall adore.

3 When worn with sickness, oft hast Thou 5 mf When nature fails, and day and night With health renewed my face; And, when in sins and sorrows sunk, cres Revived my soul with grace. 4 f Through every period of my life. Thy goodness I'll proclaim; And after death, in distant worlds, Resume the glorious theme.

6f Through all eternity to Thee
A joyful song I'll raise;
For, oh! eternity's too short
To utter all Thy praise. Amen.
