And the song is heard in Zion,
Which the angels cannot sing.

60 their crowns! how bright they sparkle
Such as monarchs never wore;
They are gone to richer pastures,
Jesus is their shepherd there;
Hail! ye happy, happy spirits,

Death no more shall make you fear, Grief nor sorrow, pain nor anguish, Shall no more distress you there.

HYMN 4.-P. M.

AW ye my Saviour! Saw ye my Saviour
Saw ye my Saviour God!

O he died on Calvary,

To atone for you and me,

And to purchase our pardon with blood.

2 He was extended, he was extended,
So painfully nail'd to the cross;
There he bow'd his head and died,
There my Lord was crucified,
To atone for a world that was lost-

3 Jesus hung bleeding, Jesus hung bleeding
Three dreadful hours in pain;
And the solid rocks were rent,
Through creation's vast extent,
When the Jews crucified the Lamb.

4 Darkness prevailed, darkness prevailed, Darkness prevailed o'er the land; And the sun refused to shine,

While his Majesty divine

Was derided, insulted and slain.

5 When it was finish'd, when it was finish'd And the atonement was made,

He was taken by the great, And embalm'd in spices sweet, And was in a new sepulcre laid.

6 Hail mighty Saviour, hail mighty Savio ur
Prince and the author of peace,
Soon he burst the bands of death,
And triumphant, from the earth,
He ascended to mansions of bliss.

There interceding, there interceding,
Pleading that sinners may live,
Crying, "See my hands and sides,
Father, I was crucified

To redeem them, I pray thee forgive."

8 "I will forgive them, I will forgive them When they repent and believe;

Let them now return to thee,

And be reconcil'd to me,

And salvation they all shall receive."

HYMN 5.-C. M.

ORD! in the morning thou shalt hear
My voice ascending high;

To thee will I direct my prayer,

To thee lift up mine eyc.

2 Then to thine house will I resort,
To taste thy mercies there;
I will frequent thy holy court,
And worship in thy fear.

3 Thou art a God before whose sight,
The wicked shall not stand;
Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight,
Nor dwell at thy right hand.

4 But they who love and fear thy name,
Shall see their hopes fulfilled;
The mighty God will compass them
With favor, as a shie.d.

5 O may my spirit guide my feet
In ways of truth and grace;
Make every path of duty straight,
And plain before my face.

HYMN 6.-C. M.

UR country is Immanuel's ground,
We seek that promised soil;

The songs of Zion cheer our hearts,
While strangers here we toil.

2 Oft do our eyes with joy o'erflow,
And oft are bathed in tears;

Yet aught but heaven our hopes can raise,
And naught but sin, our fears.

3 The flowers that spring along the road,
We scarcely stoop to pluck;
We walk o'er beds of shining ore,
Nor waste one wishful look.

4 We tread the path our Master trod, We bear the cross he bore;

And every thorn that wounds our feet, His temple pierced before.

5 Our powers are oft dissolved away
In ecstasies of love;

And while our bodies wander here,
Our souls are fixed above.

We purge our mortal dross away,
Refining as we run;

But while we die to earth and sense,
Our heaven is here begun.

HYMN 7.-C. M.

GOD of Bethel! by whose hand
Thy people still are fed;
Who through this weary pilgrimage
Hast all our fathers led.

2 Our humble vows we now present
Before thy throne of grace;
God of our fathers! be the God
Of their succeeding race.

3 Through each perplexing path of life
Be thou our guard and guide!
Each day's returning want supply,
And raiment fit provide.

40 spread thy covering shield around,
Till these our wanderings cease,
And at our Father's loved abode
We rest at last in peace.

5 Now in the humble voice of prayer,
Thy mercy we implore?
Then with a grateful song of praise,
That mercy we'll adore,

HYMN S.-L. M.

HERE is a God-all nature speaks,
Through earth, & air, and sea, & skies,
