2 Since thou hast bid me come to thee, 794 It is I; be not afraid. L. M. WHEN power divine in mortal form Hush'd with a word the raging storm, In soothing accents Jesus said,— 2 So when in silence nature sleeps, 3 God calms the tumult and the storm. Of those who know, or know him not. 4 And when the last dread hour shall come, 795 0 L. M. His loving kindness is better than life. A thirsty land, whose springs are dry. Or what on earth, compared with thee? 4 Praise with my heart, my mind, my voice, For all thy mercy I will give; My soul shall still in God rejoice, My tongue shall bless thee while I live. 796 12th P. M. 76, 76, 78, 76. Jesus, the same yesterday, to-day, and forever. Of my redeeming Lord, I shall his salvation see, My Saviour in distresses past And death ungrasp'd his fainting prey; Pain before thy face withdrew, And sorrow fled away. 3 Now as yesterday the same, Sure as now the grief I feel, The promised joy I soon shall have; Saved again, to sinners tell Thy power and will to save. 4 To thy blessed will resign'd, STEADFASTNESS AND GROWTH IN GRACE 797 Vanity of earthly enjoyments. C. M. TOW vain are all things here below; H How unlse, and yet how fair! Each pleasure hath its poison too, 2 The brightest things below the sky 3 Our dearest joys, and nearest friends, The partners of our blood, How they divide our wav'ring minds, 4 The fondness of a creature's love, 5 My Saviour, let thy beauties be 798 away 9th P. M. 87, 87, 87, 87. Worldly pleasures renounced. VAIN AIN are all terrestrial pleasures; Mix'd with dross the purest gold; Seek we then for heavenly treasures,Treasures never waxing old. Let our best affections centre On the things around the throne: There no thief can ever enter; Moth and rust are there unknown. 2 Earthly joys no longer please us; Here would we renounce them all; Seek our only rest in Jesus, Him our Lord and Master call. 3 May our light be always burning, Should he come at night or morning, 799 Self-consecration. S. M. LORD, in the strength of preece, With a glad heart and free, 800 12th P. M. 76,76,78,76. Determined to know nothing but Jesus and him crucified VA "AIN, delusive world, adieu, Only Jesus I pursue, Who bought me with his blood: I trample on thy wealth and pride; And Jesus crucified. 2 Other knowledge I disdain; Christ, the Lamb of God, was slain,- Me to save from endless wo Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus crucified. 3 Here will I set up my rest; From the haven of his breast Shall never more depart: His wounds for me stand open wide; Only Jesus will I know, And Jesus crucified. |
