Pilgrims in this vale of tears, Once they knew, like us below, Gloomy doubts, distressing fears, Tort'ring pain, and heavy woe. 2 Oft the big unbidden tear,
Stealing down the furrow'd cheek,
Told, in eloquence sincere,
Tales of woe they could not speak.
But these days of weeping o'er,
Past this scene of toil and pain,
They shall feel distress no more,
Never-never weep again!
3 'Mid the chorus of the skies,
'Mid th' angelic lyres above,
Hark-their songs melodious rise,
Songs of praise to Jesus' love!
Happy spirits! ye are fled,
Where no grief can entrance find,
Lull'd to rest the aching head,
Sooth'd the anguish of the mind!
4 All is tranquil and serene,
Calm and undisturb'd repose-
There no cloud can intervene-
There no angry tempest blows!
Ev'ry tear is wip'd away,
Sighs no more shall heave the breast!
Night is lost in endless day—
Sorrows-in eternal rest!
TO God the Father; God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Be honour, praise, and glory given,
By all on earth, and all in heaven.
RAISE God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
TO praise the Father and the Son,
And Spirit all divine,

Let saints and angels join.

In will and essence one, To Father, Son, and Spirit be Co-equal honours done.
TO God the Father's throne,
Perpetual honours raise.
Glory to God the Son,
And to the Spirit praise:
With all our pow'rs, Eternal King,
Thy name we sing, while faith adores.
NOW to the Great, and Sacred Three,
The Father, Son, and Spirit, be
Eternal power and glory giv'n,
Thro' all the worlds where God is known,
By all the angels near the throne,
And all the saints in earth, and heav'n.
TO Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God, whom Heav'n's triumphant host And saints on earth adore;
I Be glory as in ages past,
As now it is, and so shall last,
When time shall be no more.
PRAISE the name of God most high,
Praise him, all below the sky,

All praise to the Spirit, thrice bless'd,

Apostolic Benediction.
AY the grace of Christ the Saviour,
And the Father's boundless love,
With the Holy Spirit's favour,
Rest upon us from above.
2 Thus may we abide in union,
With each other, and the Lord,
And possess, in sweet communion,
Joys which earth cannot afford.
The peace of God, &c. Phil. iv. 7.
1 THE peace, which God alone reveals,
And by his word of grace imparts,
Which only the believer feels,
Direct, and keep, and cheer our hearts.
2 And may the holy Three in One,
The Father, Word, and Comforter,
Pour an abundant blessing down,
On ev'ry soul assembled here.
