CHORUS.

338 1 My body, soul and spirit,
Jesus I give to Thee,
A consecrated off ring.
Thine ever more to be.

CHO. My all is on the Altar,

I'm waiting for the fire,
Waiting, waiting, waiting,
I'm waiting for the fire.

2 O Jesus, mighty Saviour,
I trust in Thy great name,

I look for Thy salvation,

Thy promise now I claim. Cho.

30 let the fire descending

Just now upon my soul,

Consume my humble offering,

And cleanse and make me whole. Cho.

4 I'm Thine, O blessed Jesus,

Washed by Thy precious blood,

Now seal me by Thy Spirit
A sacrifice to God. Cho.

339 1 Come, Thou long expected Jesus,
Born to set Thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.
2 Israel's Strength and Consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.

3 Born Thy people to deliver;
Born a Child and yet a King;
Born to reign in us forever,

Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.

4 By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By Thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.

GOD IS LOVE.

340 1 God is love; His mercy brightens
All the path in which we rove;
Bliss He wakes, and woe He lightens;
God is wisdom, God is love.

2 Chance and change are busy ever;
Man decays, and ages move;

But His mercy waneth never;
God is wisdom, God is love.

3 E'en the hour that darkest seemeth.
Will His changeless goodness prove;
From the gloom His brightness streameth;
God is wisdom, God is love.

4 He with earthly cares entwineth
Hope and comfort from above:
Everywhere His glory shineth;
God is wisdom, God is love.

Music by MRS. JOSEPH F. KNAPP, by per.

341 1 Nearer the cross my heart can say,
I'm coming nearer,

Nearer the cross from day to day,
I'm coming nearer;

Nearer the cross where Jesus died,
Nearer the fountain's crimson tide,
Nearer my Saviour's wounded side,
: I'm coming nearer. :||

2 Nearer the Christian's mercy seat,
I'm coming nearer,

Feasting my soul on manna sweet,
I'm coming nearer;

Stronger in faith more clear I see
Jesus who gave himself for me,
Nearer to Him I still would be,
|: Still coming nearer. :||

3 Nearer in prayer my hope aspires,
I'm coming nearer,

Deeper the love my soul desires,
I'm coming nearer;

Nearer the end of toil and care,

Nearer the joy I long to share,

Nearer the crown I soon shall wear,

I'm coming nearer. :|

CHORUS.

342 1 Fear not the gloom of the midnight,
Dread not the storm of the sea;
'Tis I, who am coming to save thee,
'Tis I! art thou trusting in Me?
CHO.-Trusting in Thee, yes, trusting in Thee:
I'll doubt Thee no more, my Redeemer.
Yes, trusting in Thee, yes, trusting in Thee,
I'll ever be trusting in Thee.

2 Heed not the wrath of the tempter,
My presence thy shelter shall be;
"Tis I, who am keeping thy spirit,
'Tis I art thou trusting in Me?-Cho.
Fear not the chill of the valley.

For death but a shadow shall be:
My rod and my staff shall support thee,
'Tis I! keep on trusting in Me?- Cho.

CHORUS.

Lift your lamp higher, Lift your lamp higher, higher, still

higher; Thea if your lamp higher, O Christian, Lest I should make fatal delay.

343 1 Say, is your lamp burning ? O Christian,

I pray you look quickly and see,

For if it were burning, then surely

: Some beams would fall brightly on me. : Cho.

2 Remember how many around you

Will follow wherever you go:

The thought that they walked in a shadow

: Would make your lamp brighter I know.: Cho.

3 If once all the lamps that are lighted
Should steadily blaze in a line,

Wide over the land and the ocean

: A girdle of glory would shine. :|| Cho.

4 How all the dark places would brighten!
The mists would roll up and away!
The earth would laugh out in her gladness
1: To hail the millennial day!: Cho.
