140 2 Timothy i, 12. (c. M.) 1 WHEN I can read my title clear, I bid farewell to ev'ry fear, 2 Should earth against my soul engage, 3 Let cares like a wild deluge come, 4 There I shall bathe my troubled soul In seas of heav'nly rest; And not a wave of trouble roll 141 Psalm lxxii, 19. (P. M.) 1 WE give immortal praise He sent his own eternal Son 2 To God the Son belongs Immortal glory too, Who bought us with his blood, From everlasting woe: And now he lives, and now he reigns, And sees the fruit of all his pains. 3 To God the Spirit's name Makes the dead sinner live: Be endless honours done, And the mysterious One: Where reason fails with all her pow'rs, There faith prevails and love adores ! 142 John xiv, 6. (L. M.) 1 JESUS, my all, to heav'n is gone, 2 The way the holy prophets went, I'll go; for all his paths are peace. 3 This is the way I long have sought, 4 Lo! glad I come, and thou, blest Lamb, Shalt take me to thee as I am: My sinful self to thee I give; 143 Psalm lxxvii, 19. (c. M.) 1 GOD moves in a mysterious way, He plants his footsteps in the sea, 2 Deep in unfathomable mines He treasures up his bright designs, 3 His purposes will ripen fast, The bud may have a bitter taste, 4 Blind unbelief is sure to err, 144 Philippians iii, 10. (7's.) 1 GO to dark Gethsemane, 3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb, 145 Isaiah xxii, 2. (C. M.) 1 HE, who on earth, as man was known, 2 His righteousness to faith reveal'd, 3 This land through which his pilgrims go, Is desolate and dry; But streams of grace from him o'erflow, 4 How glorious he! how happy they, Whose love secures them all the way, 146 Psalm cxix, 130. (c. M.) 1 THE Spirit breathes upon the word, And brings the truth to light; Precepts and promises afford 2 A glory gilds the sacred page, It gives a light to ev'ry age, 3 The God who gave it, still supplies 4 Let everlasting thanks be thine, As makes a world of darkness shine |
