Where immortal spirits reign,
There may we all meet again.

HYMN 59.-8, 7.

Grateful recollection.

OME, thou Fount of ev'ry blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above:
Praise the mount-I'm fix'd upon it-
Mount of God's unchanging love.

2 Here I raise my Eben-Ezer,
Hither by thy help I'm come;
And I hope, by thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wand'ring from the fold of God;
He to rescue me from danger,
Interpos'd with precious blood.

3 Oh! to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrain'd to be
Let that grace now, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to thee.

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel itProne to leave the God I loveHere's my heart-O take and seal it; Seal it for thy courts above..

HYMN 60.-C. M.

W Salvation sounding free;

HAT heavenly music do I hear,

Ye souls in bondage lend an ear,
This is the Jubilee.

2 How sweetly do the tidings roll, All round from sea to sea,

From land to land, from pole to pole, This is the Jubilee.

3 Good news, good news, to Adam's race, Let Christians all agree

To sing redeeming Love and Grace,
This is the Jubilee.

4 The gospel sounds a sweet release To all in misery,

And bids them welcome home to peace, This is the Jubilee.

5 Jesus is on his mercy seat, Before him bend the knee;

Let heaven and earth his praise repeat, This is the Jubilee.

6 Sinners, be wise, return and come
Unto the Saviour free;

The spirit bids you welcome home,
This is the Jubilee.

7 Come, ye redeem'd, your tribute bring, With songs of harmony;

While on the road to Canaan sing,
This is the Jubilee.

HYMN 61.-C. M.

"O that I were as in months past." WEET was the time when first I felt The Saviour's pardoning blood Apply'd to cleanse my soul from guilt And bring me home to God.

2 Soon as the morn the light reveal'd, His praises tun'd my tongue;

And, when the evening shades prevail'd, His love was all my song.

8 In vain the tempter spreads his wiles,
The world no more could charm;
I liv'd upon my Saviour's smiles,
And lean'd upon his arm.

4 In prayer my soul drew near the Lord
And saw his glory shine;
And, when I read his holy word,
I call'd each promise mine.

5 Then to his saints 1 often spoke
Of what his love had done;

But now my heart is almost broke,
For all my joys are gone.

9 Now when the evening shade prevails, My soul in darkness mourns;

And when the morn the light reveals,
No light to me returns.

My prayers are now a chattering noise,
For Jesus hides his face;

I read, the promise meets my eyes,
But will not reach my case.

8 Now Satan threatens to prevail,
And make my soul his prey;
Yet, Lord, thy mercies cannot fail,
O come without delay.

HYMN 62.--73.

Tempted-but flying to Christ the refuge.

ESUS! lover of my soul,

JLet me to thy bosom fly

While the raging billows roll,—
While the tempest still is high;
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide;
Oh, receive my soul at last.

2 Other refuge have I none,-
Hangs my helpless soul on thee!
Leave, ah! leave me not alone!
Still support and comfort me!
All my trust on thee is stay'd.
All my help from thee I bring.
Cover my defenceless head

With the shadow of thy wing:
