2 See how the conqueror mounts 12 Come, let us bow before his feet,

aloft,

[blocks in formation]

And venture near the Lord;
No fiery cherub guards his seat,
Nor double-flaming sword.

3 The peaceful gates of heavenly bliss,

Are opened by the Son;

High let us raise our notes of praise, And reach th' almighty throne.

4 To thee ten thousand thanks we Great advocate on high, bring, And glory to th' eternal King Who lays his anger by.

Walking with God.

1 Oh, could I find, from day to day, A nearness to my God,

Then should my hours glide sweet away While leaning on his word.

Anew from day to day,

2 Lord, I desire with thee to live

In joys the world can never give,
Nor ever take away.

3 Blest Jesus, come, and rule my heart,

And make me wholly thine,
That I may never more depart,
Nor grieve thy love divine."

2 There the sunbeams are ever shining, 3 Of that country to which I'm going,
I am longing, I am longing for the sight; My Redeemer, my Redeemer is the light;
Within a country unknown and dreary, There is no sorrow, or any sighing,
I have been wandering forlorn and Or any sin, or any dying.

I'm a pilgrim, &c.

EVENING HYMN. S. M.

End.

1. The day is past and gone, The evening shades apThe night of death draws near.

Sacrifice.

1 Not all the blood of beasts,
On Jewish altars slain,

Can give the guilty conscience
Or wash away the stain. [peace,
2 But Christ, the heavenly Lamb,
Takes all our sins away;
A sacrifice of nobler name,
And richer blood than they.
8 My faith would lay her hand
On that dear head of thine,
While like a penitent I stand,
And there confess my sin.
4 Believing, we rejoice
To feel the guilt remove;

We bless the Lamb with cheerful
And sing his bleeding love. [voice,

1. The Spir- it, in our hearts, Is whispering, 'Sinner, come;' 2. Let him that hear-eth say To all about him, 'Come!'

3 Yes, whosoever will,

Oh let him freely come,

Now the accepted time.

And freely drink the stream of life; 1 Now is the accepted time,

"Tis Jesus bids him come.

4 Lo! Jesus, who invites,
Declares, 'I quickly come:'
Lord, even so! we wait thy hour;
O blest Redeemer, come!

Invocation.

1 Come, Holy Spirit, Come;
Let thy bright beams arise;
Dispel the sorrow from our minds,
The darkness from our eyes.
2 Convince us all of sin;
Then lead us to our Lord,
And to our wondering view reveal,
The mercies of our God.

3 Revive our drooping faith;
Our doubts and fears remove,
And kindle in our breasts the flame
Of never dying love.

4 Possess and rule our hearts,
Our minds from bondage free;
Then shall we know and love and
praise

The Father, Son and thee.

Now is the day of grace;

Now, sinners, come, without delay, And seek the Saviour's face.

2 Now is the accepted time,
The Saviour calls to-day;
To-morrow it may be too late,
Then why should you delay?

3 Now is the accepted time, The gospel bids you come; And every promise in his word Declares there yet is room.

1 All yesterday is gone!
To-morrow's not our own;

O sinner, come, without delay,
To bow before the throne?

2' Oh hear his voice to-day,
And harden not your heart:
To-morrow, with a frown, he may
Pronounce the word-depart.

2 Thanks we give, and adoration,
For the gospel's joyful sound;
May the fruits of thy salvation,
In our hearts and lives abound!
May thy presence

With us evermore be found!

3 Then, whene'er the signal's given,
Us from earth to call away,
Borne on angels' wings to heaven,
Glad the summons to obey-
May we ever

Reign with Christ in endless day!

The good Shepherd.
1 Gently, Lord, O gently lead us
Through this lowly vale of tears;
And, O Lord, in mercy give us
Thy rich grace in all our fears,
O, refresh us-

O'refresh us with thy grace.

12 Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land:
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
Hold me with thy powerful hand:
Bread of heaven,

Feed me till I want no more.
