6 Cause us the record to receive, Speak, and the token shew; 6 Oh! be not faithless, but believe 6 Ia me, who dy'd for you! HYMN CC. For counsel or for fight; Or serve his God aright? Each to love provoke his friend ; And keep it to the end. To hiin who falls alone; To help his weakness on ; We each other's burdens bear ; Upheld by mutual pray'r. Maintain our unity; In whom we all agree : Sweetly of one heart and mind; Or part whom God hath join'd ? 4 O that all with us might prove The fellowship of saints, What every member wants : Grasp we our high calling's prize ; Feel our fins on earth forgiv'n! Rise, in his whole image rise, And meet our Head in heav'n! 2 HYMN CCI. COME 1 away to the skies, My beloved, arise, And rejoice in the day thou wad born ; On this festival day Come exulting away, We have laid up our love And trealure above, The redeem'd of the Lord, We remember his word, And with singing to paradise go. 3 With singing we praise The original grace Our being receive From his bounty, and live To the honour and glory of God. 4 For thy glory we are Created to share Both the nature and kingdom divine : Created again, That our rouls may remain In time and eternity thine. With thanks we approve 5 The design of thy love, Which has join'd us in Jesus's name ; So united in heart That we never can part, Till we meet at the feast of the Lamb. 6 There, there, at his feet We shall suddenly meet, And be parted in body no more ! We shall sing to our lyres, With the heavenly choirs, And our Saviour in glory adore. 7 Hallelujah we fing To our Father and King, And his rapturous praises repeat : To the Lamb that was Nain Hallelujah again, We to Jesus look up, From our graves we inall see, Aid cry out, “ It is he!” HYMN CCII. Your faces Sion-ward, And praise our common Lord; Nearer and nearer still We to our country come, The weary pilgrim's homes 3 The ranfom'd sons of God, All earthly things we scorn, With songs of praise return; Each moment may we feel; From earth, and death, and hell, Our All in all is he ; We foon his face shall see; HYMN CCIII. Come, let us anew Our journey pursue, With vigour arise, Of heavenly birth, This is not our place, At Jesus's call And till we forego, No longing we find But onward we move, 2 3 A country of joy Without any alloy, We thither repair, We march hand in hand No matter what cheer The rougher our way, The tempests that rise The fiercer the blast, The troubles that come, HYMN CCIV. ; COME, let us ascend, My companion and friend, If thy heart be as mine, If för Jesus it pine, Who in Jesus confide, We are bold to outride With the prophet we foar To the heavenly shore, To our permanent home : By love we still rise, And look down on the skies, For the heaven of heavens is love. |
