Though battles rage and wars increase, 8 I'll God adore, obey his laws, 9 I've fought through many battles sore, 10 I have a sword which when I wield, 11 Come sinners, then enlisted be, HA HYMN 13.-P. M. [AIL? thou blest morn, when the great Mediator; Down from the regions of glory descend; Shepherds, go worship the babe in th manger, Lo for his guard the bright angels attend Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Shine on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star in the east, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on his cradle the dew drops are shining, Low lies his bed with the beasts of the stali; Angels adore him in slumber reclining, Maker, and monarch, and Saviour of all, Brightest and best, &c. 3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom, and off'rings divine, Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine, Brightest and best, &c. 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gold would his favor secure: Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor' Brightest and best, &c. HYMN 14.-P. M. DANIEL'S wisdom may I know? Stephen's faith and spirit show: John's divine communion feel, Moses' meekness, Joshua's zeal, Run like the unwearied Paul, Win the day and conquer all. 2 Mary's love may I possess, 3 Job's submission may I show, 4 Mine be Jacob's wrestling prayer, Gideon's valiant stedfast care, Joseph's purity impart, Isaac's meditating heart. Abraham's friendship may I prove, Faithful to the God I love. 5 Most of all may I pursue The example Jesus drew; In my life and conduct show HYMN 15.-7's. Have we all here met again? AVE we all here met again? Hope oft shed a doubtful ray; 2 When by distance sever'd far, 3 When at midnight's awful hour, 4 Guarded by our FATHER's hand, We at last in peace return. So when Death dissolves our chain, * May we meet in Heaven again. C HYMN 16.-5 & 11. OME, let us anew Our journey pursue, Roll round with the year, And never stand still till the Master ap His adorable will Let us gladly fulfil, [pear! And our talents improve [love. By the patience of hope and the labor of 2 Our life is a dream, Our time as a stream, And the fugitive moment refuses to stay; The moment is gone: The millennial year [here. Rushes on to our view, and eternity's 3 0 that each in the day Of his coming may say, 'I have fought my way through, I have finish'd the work thou didst give me to do,' |
