Engrav'd on Immanuel's heart;

At a distance we cannot remain.

5 And when we shall see that bright day,
United with angels above.
No longer confined to our clay,
O'erwhelmed in the ocean of love.

6 O then with our Jesus we'll reign,
And all his bright glory shall see,
And sing halleujah, amen,
Amen, even so let it be.

HYMN 55.-L. M.

The day of Probation and Hope.

LIFE is the time to serve the Lord!

The time t' insure thy great reward; And while the lamp holds out to burn, To thee the sinner may return.

2 Life is the season thou hast gien,
To fit us for the joys of heaven;
Fast fleets that hour of grace away,
And who its rapid course can stay?

3 The living know that they must die,
But all the dead unconscious lie,

Their memory and their sense is gone,
Alike unknowing and unknown.

4 There are no acts of pardon passed
In the cold grave to which we haste;
Oblivion, darkness, and despair,
Still reign in gloomy silence there.

5 Then the great work we have to do,
Let us with all our might pursue:
And wisely every hour employ,
Till faith and hope are lost in joy.

HYMN 56.-C. M.

The way of the Righteous and the Wicked.

B

LEST is the man, who shuns the place

Where sinners love to meet;

Who fears to tread in folly's ways,
And hates the scoffers seat.

2 But in thy perfect statutes, Lord!
Has placed his chief delight;
By day devoutly reads thy word,
And meditates by night.

3 He, like a tree of generous kind, By living waters set,

Safe from the storm and blasting wind,
Enjoys a peaceful state.

4 Green as the leaf and ever fair
Shall his profession shine:
While fruits of holiness appear,
Like clusters on the vine.

5 Not so the impious and unjust;
What vain designs they form;
Their hopes are swept away like dust,
Or chaff before the storm.

6 How shall they bear at last to stand Before the judgment seat,

Where all the saints at thy right hand In full assembly meet.

HYMN 57.-C. M.

Walking with God.

FOR a closer walk with God. A calin and heavenly frame; A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb.

2 Where is the blessedness I knew
When first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
Of Jesus, and his word?

3 What peaceful hours I then enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But now I find an aching void
The world can never fill.

4 Return, O holy Dove! return
Sweet messenger of rest!

I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
And drove thee from my breast.

5. The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be,

Help me to tear it from thy throne,
And worship only thee.

6 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame;

So purer light shall mark the road
That leads ine to the lamb.

HYMN 58.-P. M.

WHEN shall we three meet again?

When shall we three meet again? Oft shall glowing hope expire, Oft shall wearied love retire; Oft shall death and sorrow reign, E'er we three shall meet again.

2 Though in distant lands we sigh,
Parch'd beneath a hostile sky;
Though the deep between us roll,
Friendship shall unite our souls;
And in fancy's wide domain
Oft shall we three meet again.

3 When our burnished locks are grey, Thinn'd by many a toil spent day; When around this youthful pine, Moss shall creep and ivy twine; Long may this lov'dbower remain; Here may we three meet again.

4 When the dreams of life are fled,
When its wasted lamps are dead,
When in cold oblivion's shade,
Beauty, wealth, and fame are laid;
