O give me a diviner name! 2 Sweet title that delighteth me- O what can reach my dignity?— 3 No longer would my soul be known O not mine own! O not mine own! 4 In each aspiring burst of prayer 5 For ever, Lord, Thy servant choose,- The glorious name I would not lose, 6 In life, in death, on earth, in heaven, The same sweet style and title given 254. 1 An Altar to God. HOW shall I build an altar To the Author of my days? 7.6. 255. 2 Thy temples were too lowly, 4 I'll do Thy holy bidding, 5 I'll bring each angry feeling I'll ask Thy heavenly healing 6 Thus shall I build an altar, Is the Lord at Hånd? (Mark xiii, 35) 1 DAYLIGHT fades away. Is the Lord at hand, In the shadows grey 2 Hark, the dead noon's height! 5s, In the cloke of night 5 We will watch all day, VI. THE KINGDOM OF CHRIST. 256. THE CHURCH :-MISSIONS. Invitation to Christ. 8.7.4. COME, ye sinners, poor and wretched, Weak and wounded, sick and sore, Jesus ready stands to save you, He is willing: doubt no more. 2 Let not conscience make you linger, 'Tis the Spirit's rising beam. 3 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden, Bruis'd and mangled by the fall; If you tarry till you're better, You will never come at all: Not the righteous, Sinners Jesus came to call. 4 Agonizing in the garden, Lo! your Saviour prostrate lies! Finish'd, the great sacrifice! Can do helpless sinners good. 6 Saints and angels, joined in concert, Sing the praises of the Lamb; While the blissful seats of heaven Sinners here may sing the same. 257. 1 The Kingdom of God. COME, kingdom of our God, Sweet reign of light and love! 2 Over our spirits first Extend thy healing reign; S.M. There raise and quench the sacred thirst, 3 Come, kingdom of our God! And make the broad earth thine; 4 Soon may all tribes be blest With fruit from life's glad tree; 5 Come, kingdom of our God! 258. 1 The Church in Heaven and on HAPPY the souls to Jesus join'd, Walking in all His ways they find C.M. |
