1 Oft as the bell, with solemn toll,
Speaks the departure of a soul,
Let each one ask himself, "Am I
Prepared, should I be called to die!"
2 Lord Jesus, help me now to flee,
And seek my hope alone in thee;
Apply thy blood, thy Spirit give,
Subdue my sins, and in me live.
3 Then when the solemn bell I hear,
If saved from guilt, I need not fear;
Nor would the thought distressing be,
Perhaps it next may toll for me.
4 Rather, my spirit would rejoice,
And wait impatient for thy voice; Glad when it bids me earth resign, Secure of heaven, if thou art mine.
1 Once more, before we part,
We'll bless the Saviour's name :
Record his mercies, every heart;
Sing, every tongue, the same.
3 Onht o ni a'on tye sen,
Ne ra ge wea ni yoh,
A on sa ha gye na ni ih!
Ro ya ner jit hoh son.
4 Ta gye na was o ne,
A ga de rea na yen;
O toh sa ga dya ton da go,
N'a gi he ye on wel.

1 Sa ya ner eh yenh skwaht ka we,
Sa ya ta de riht s'ra gon;
A on gwa tyen hah se o nen,

Ta gye na was ta gye na was,
Ji te wa ga ta wen ri.
2 Wa gon ya ton ren ne nea ne,
Ne sah rih wa do genh ti;
Ne o ni sa ya ta d'riht s'ra,

Tyot kon tyot kon eh na yoh ton,
Ne neh to genh ske on weh.
3 'Nen enh shon gwa ronh yen ha re,

Ka ronh ya goh ro non na ah,

Ji n'yen hen we ji n'yen hen we,
Tyot kon en te we se ke.
2 Hoard up his sacred word,
And feed thereon and grow;
Go on to seek and know the Lord, And practice that you know.
1 Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing,
Fill our hearts with joy and peace;
Let us each thy love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace.
O refresh us, O refresh us,
Travelling through this wilderness.
2 Thanks we give and adoration, For thy gospel's joyful sound: May the fruits of thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound. Ever faithful, ever faithful
To the truth may we be found.
3 So, whene'er the signal's given,
Us from earth to call away,
Borne on angels' wings to heaven,
Glad the summons to obey,
May we ever, may we ever
Reign with Christ in endless day.

1 Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Thy daily stage of duty run;
Shake off dull sloth, and early rise,
To pay thy morning sacrifice.
2 Redeem thy misspent moments past,
And live this day as if the last :
Thy talents to improve take care;
For the great day thyself prepare.
3 Let all thy converse be sincere,
Thy conscience as the noonday clear;
For God's all-seeing eye surveys
Thy secret thoughts, thy works and ways.
4 Wake and lift up thyself, my heart,
And with the angels bear thy part,
Who all night long unwearied sing
High glory to the Eternal King.
