Will you seek the trembling mourners
Who are struggling hard with sin?
Tell them all about the Savior,

Tell them that he will be found;
Sisters pray with all your power,
And the blessing will come down.
5 Let us love the Lord supremely,
Let us love each other too;
Let us love and pray for sinners,
Till the Lord creates them new.
Soon he'll call us home to glory,
At his table we'll sit down;
Christ will gird himself and serve us,
With sweet manna all around.

HEN thou my righteous Judge shall come
To call thy ransom'd people home ;

Shall I among them stand?

Shall such a worthless worm as I,
Who sometimes am afraid to die,
Be found at thy right hand?

2 I love to meet among them now,
Before thy gracious throne to bow-
Though weakest of them all,
But can I bear the piercing thought,
To have my worthless name left out,
When thou for them shall call ?

3 Prevent, prevent it by thy grace!
Be thou dear Lord my hiding place,
In that expected day,

Thy pard'ning voice O let me hear;

To still each unbelieving fear;
Nor let me fall I pray.

4 Among thy saints let me be found,

Whene'er th' Archangel's trump shall sound; To see thy smiling face:

Then loud through all the crowd I'll sing, While heaven's resounding mansion's ring, With shouts of boundless grace.

ID Christ o'er sinners weep,
And shall our cheeks be dry?
Let floods of penitential grief
Burst forth from every eye.
2 The Son of God in tears,
Angels with wonder see!
Be thou astonish'd, O my soul,
He shed those tears for thee.
8 He wept that we might weep,
Each sin demands a tear;
In heaven alone no sin is found,
And there's no weeping there.

P. M.

LORY to God that I have found,
The pearl of my salvation,

We are marching through Immanuel's ground,
Up to our heavenly station,

And I'm resolv'd to follow on,

And never to forsake him,

B

I'll always keep this narrow way,
Till I do overtake him.

2 Fear not, says Christ, ye little flock,
Heirs of immortal glory,

You are built upon the surest rock,
The kingdom lies before you:
Fight on, fight on, ye heirs of bliss,
And tell the pleasing story,

I'm always with my little flock,
And will bring them home to glory.

DThrough

ARK and thorny is the desert

Through which pilgrims make their way

Yet beyond this vale of sorrow,

Lie the fields of endless day:

Fiends loud howling through the desert,
Make them tremble as they go,

And the fiery darts of satan

Often bring their courage low.

2 O young soldiers, are you weary
Of the roughness of the way?
Does your strength begin to fail you?
And your vigor to decay?
Jesus, Jesus, will go with you;

He will lead you to his throne;
He who dy'd his garments for you,
And the wine-press trod alone.

30 their crowns, how bright they sparkle!
Such as monarchs never wore;
They are gone to richer pastures,
Jesus is their shepherd there.

Hail! ye happy, happy spirits,

Death no more shall make you fear; Grief nor sorrow, pain nor anguish, Shall no more distress you there.

The Pure Testimony.

HE pure testimony, pour'd forth in the

THE Spirit,

Cuts like a keen two-edged sword;

And hypocrites now are most sorely tormented, Because they're condemn'd by the word. The pure testimony discovers the dross, While wicked professors make light of the cross;

And Babylon trembles for fear of her loss.

2 Is not the time come for the church to be gather'd

Into the one Spirit of God?

Baptiz'd by one Spirit into the one body,
Partaking Christ's flesh and his blood?

They drink in one spirit which makes them all see

They're one in Christ Jesus, wherever they be, The Jew and the Gentile, the bond and the free.

3 Then blow ye the trumpet in pure testimony, And let the world hear it again;

O come ye from Babylon, Egypt and Sodom,
And make your way over the plain;
And gird on your armor, ye saints of the
Lord,

For Christ shall direct you by his living word;
The pure testimony will cut like a sword.

4 The great prince of darkness is must'ring his forces,

To make you his pris'ners again,

By flatt'ries, reproaches, and vile persecution, That you in his cause may remain:

But shun his temptations, wherever they lay, And fear not his servants, whatever they say; The pure testimony will give you the day. 5 The world will not persecute those who are like them,

But hold them the same as their own; The pure testimony cries up, separation, And calls you your lives to lay down. Come out from their spirit and practices too, The track of the Savior keep still in your view; The pure testimony will cut the way through. 6 The battle is coming between the two kingdoms,

The armies will gather anon;

The pure testimony and vile persecution
Will come to close battle ere long:

Then wash all your robes in the blood of the
Lamb,

And walk in the Spirit, as Jesus has done;
In pure testimony you will overcome.

Precious Promises.

OW firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,

Hafid for four faith in his excellent word
