Out his devoted breast,

My Saviour's love shall guard me through,

To everlasting rest.

9 In him I live, in him I move,
My only sure defence;

The source of sweet redeeming love,
My only recompence.

10 My conflicts here shall soon be past Where wild distraction reigns,

Through toils and death I'll reach at last,

Fair Canaan's happy plains.

11 The lamp of life will soon grow pale,
The spark will soon decay;

And then my happy soul shall sail
To everlasting day.

HYMN 117.-C. M.

Inconstancy in the Christian life lamented.

PE

and

[grace

ERPETUAL Source of light
We hail thy sacred name,
Through every years revolving round
Thy goodness is the same.

On us, unworthy as we are,
Its wonderous mercy pours;
Sure as the heaven's established course,
And plenteous as the showers.

3 Inconstant, service we repay,
And treacherous vows renew;
Which pass away as morning clouds,
And as the early dew.

4 Low at thy feet our guilt we mourn,
And ask thy constant grace,
To bear our feeble footsteps on,
In all thy righteous ways.

5 Armed with this energy divine,
Our souls shall constant prove,
And with increasing transport press
On to thy courts above.

6 So, by thy power, the morning sun
Pursues his radiant way,

Brightens each moment in his race,
And shines to perfect day.

HYMN 118.-C. M.

The inward life of the Christian.
HAPPY soul that lives on high.
While men lie grovelling here!
His hopes are fixed above the sky.
And faith forbids his fear.

2 His concience knows no secret stings,
While grace and joy combine
To form a life, whose holy springs
Are hidden and divine.

2 He waits in secret on his God,
His God in secret sees;
Let earth be all in arms abroad,
He dwells in heavenly peace.

4 His Pleasures rise from things unseen, Beyond this world and time;

Where neither eyes nor ears have been,

Nor thoughts of mortals climb.

5 He wants no pomp or royal throne
To raise his honors here

Content and pleased to live unknown,
Till Christ, his life, appear.

HYMN 119.-P. M.

The Weary Traveller.

CME all joiar a td sing,

NOME all ye weary travellers,

The everlasting praises,

Of Jesus our great King.
We've had a tedious journey,
And tiresome 'tis true;
But see how many dangers,

The Lord has brought us through.

2 At first when Jesus found us,
He called us unto him,
And pointed out the danger,
Of falling into sin.

The world, the flesh and Satan,
Would prove a hurtful snare,
Unless we did reject them

By faith and humble prayer.

3 But by our disobedience,

R

With sorrow we confess,
We have had long to wander
In a dark wilderness,
Where we might long have fainted,
In that enchanted ground,

But now and then a cluster

Of pleasant grapes we found.

4 The pleasant fruits of Canaan,
Give life and joy and peace,
Revive our drooping spirits,

And love and strength increase.
To own our Lord and Master,
And run at his command,
And hasten on our journey
Uuto the promised land.

5 In faith,and hope, and patience,
We often do rejoice,
And Jesus and his people,
Forever are our choice.
In peace and consolation,
We now are going on.
The pleasant road to Canaan,
Where Jesus Christ has gone.

Sinners why stand ye idle,
While we thus march along,
Has Jesus never told you
That you are going wrong,
We're sorry thus to leave you,
We'rather you would go;
Come try a bleeding Saviour,
And see what love can do,
