2 E'en now the hallow'd scenes appear, 3 'Miast burning climes and frozen plains, HYMN 145. C. M. Farewell to Missionaries. 1 GO, messenger of love, and bear, 2 Go, to the heart with sin opprest, 3 Go, say to Zion, "Jesus reigns" He binds his enemies with chains; 4 Tell how the Holy Spirit flies, 1 As he from heav'n descends- HYMN 146. P. M. 7. HARK! the song of Jubilee, Loud as mighty thunders roar, Or the fulness of the sea, When it breaks upon the shore:Hallelujah! for the Lord, God omnipotent, shall reign; Hallelujah! let the word Echo round the earth and main. 2 Hallelujah! hark! the sound, Sheath'd his sword: he speaks,-'tisdone, And the kingdoms of this world Are the kingdoms of his Son. 3 He shall reign from pole to pole, With illimitable sway: 1 He shall reign, when like a scroll, OCCASIONAL. HYMN 147. P. M. 7. New-Year. WHILE with ceaseless course the sun Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run, 2 Fix'd in an eternal state, They have done with all below; But how little-none can know. 5 Thanks for mercies past receive, 6 Bless thy word to young and old, 1 And when life's short tale is told, HYMN 148. L. M. Prayer for the children of the church. Among the thoughtless crowd be found. 2 Remember still that they are thine, That thy dear sacred name they bear, Think that the seal of love divine,— The sign of cov'nant grace they wear. 3 In all their erring, sinful years, Oh, let them ne'er forgotten be; Remember all the pray'rs and tears, Which made them consecrate to thee. 4 And when these lips no more can pray, These eyes can weep for them no more, Turn thou their feet from folly's way, The wand'rers to thy fold restore. 1 IN HYMN 149. L. M. Poor Children's appeal to Christians. N God's own house by silent night, The lamp of God was burning bright; And there, by viewless angels kept, Samuel the child securely slept. 2 A voice unknown the stillness broke, 3 Thus early call'd to serve his God, 4 Speak, Lord! and from our earliest days, 1 HOW HYMN 150. C. M.SV The Traveller's Hymn. OW are thy servants bless'd, O Lord, Eternal wisdom is their guide, Their help, Omnipotence. 2 In foreign realms, and lands remote, Supported by thy care; Thro' burning climes they pass unhurt, 3 When by the dreadful tempest borne, They know thou art not slow to hear, 4 The storm is laid-the winds retire, The sea, that roars at thy command, 5 In midst of dangers, fears, and deaths, 1 IF HYMN 151. C. M. Lord's Supper. F human kindness meets return, If tender thoughts within us burn, 2 Oh! shall not warmer accents tell To Him, who died our fears to quell, 3 While yet his anguish'd soul survey'd Those pangs he would not flee, What love his latest words display'd! "Meet and remember me." 4 Remember thee! thy death, thy shame, Our sinful hearts to share! Oh, memory! leave no other name 85 |
