T 521. L. M. Watts. An evening Hymn. HUS far the Lord has led me on, Thus far his power prolongs my days; And every evening shall make known Some fresh memorials of his grace. 2 Much of my time has run to waste, And I, perhaps, am near my home; But he forgives my follies past,He gives me strength for days to come: 3 I lay my body down to sleep, Peace is the pillow for my head, While well appointed angels keep Their watchful stations round my bed. 4 Faith in his name forbids my fear; O may thy presence ne'er depart! And in the morning make me hear The love and kindness of thy heart. 5 Thus when the night of death shall come, My flesh shall rest beneath the ground, And wait thy voice to rend my tomb, With sweet salvation in the sound, PARTING. 522. C. M. Whitfield's Collection. A parting Hymn. BEST be the dear uniting love, That will not let us part; Our bodies may far off remove, 3 0 let us ever walk in him, 4 Closer and closer let us cleave, 5 Then let us hasten to the day, Which shall our flesh restore; When death shall all be done away, And bodies part no more. 523. S. M. Walker's Collection. Praise to God at parting. ONCE more, before we part, We'll bless the Saviour's name: Record his mercies every heart, Sing every tongue the same. 2 Hoard up the sacred word, And feed thereon, and grow, Go on to seek to know the Lord, And practise what you know. 524. 7's. Newton. At parting. Acts xx. 32. FOR a season call'd to part, Let us now ourselves commend 2 Jesus, hear our humble prayer, B In thy strength may we be strong; 525. C. M. Anon. The parting of Christians painful. 2 Yet. Father! since it is thy will 3 0 may we all in Christ be one, 4 Where sin and sorrow from each heart, And pain, and grief, shall fly; And not a thought that we must part, 5 Deliver❜d, then, from cares and pains, 526.
