12. In fiery Chariots we shall rise,
And leave the world on fire;
And all surround the throne of love,
And join the heavenly choir.

HYMN 24. L. M.

Lift up your hearts, Immanuel's friends,
And taste the pleasure Jesus sends;
Let nothing cause you to delay,
But hasten on the good old way.
And I'll sing hallelujah,

And glory be to God on high,
And I'll sing hallelujah,

There's glory beaming thro' the sky. 2. Our conflicts here, tho' great they be, Shall not prevent our victory,

If we but watch and strive and pray,
Like soldiers, in the good old way.

3. O good old way! how sweet thou art,
May none of us from thee depart,
But may our actions always say,
We're marching in the good old way.
4. Tho' Satan may his powers employ,
Oun happiness for to destroy,
Yet never fear, we'll gain the day,
And shout and sing the good old way.
5. And when on Pisgah's top we stand,
And view by faith the promis'd land,
Then we may sing and shout and pray,
Aud march along the good old way.
6. Ye valiant souls for heaven contend,

Remember glory's at the end,
Our God will wipe all tears away.
When we have run the good old way.
7. Then far beyond this mortal shore,
We'll meet with those who ve gone before
And shout to think we've gained the day,
By marching in the good old way.

HYMN 25. P. M.

Whither goest thou, pilgrim stranger, Wandering thro' this lonely vale? Knowest thou not 'tis full of danger? And will not thy courage fail

No, I'm bound for the kingdom,
Will you go to glory with me?
hallelujah,

hallelujah,
I'm bound for the kingdom,
'Will you go to glory with me?
O hallelujah,

hallelujah.

2. Pilgrim thou hast justly called me, Passing through a waste so wide, But no harm will e'er befall me,

While I'm blest with such a guide, For I'm bound for the kingdom, &c. 3. Such a guide? no guide attends thee, Hence for thee my fears arise;

If some guardian power befriend thee,
Tis unseen by mortal e
leyes.

O, I'm bound for the kingdom, &c.

4. Yes, unseen, but still believe me, Such a guide my steps attend;

He'll in every strait relieve me,
He will guide me to the end.
For I'm bound &c.

5. Pilgrim, see that stream before thee,
Darkly winding through the vale,
Should its deadly wave roll o er thee,
Would not then thy courage fail?
No, I'm bound &c.

6. No, that stream has nothing frightful,
To its brink my steps I'll bend,
Thence to plunge 'twill be delightfu!,
There my pilgrimage will end.
For I'm bound &e.

7. While I gazed with speed surprising, Down the stream she plung'd from sight, Gazing still, I saw her rising,

Like an angel cloth'd with light. "
O, I'm bound, &e.

8. Cease my heart this mournful crying,
Death will burst this sullen gloom:
Soon my spirit, fluttering, dying,
Will be borne beyond the tomb.
For I'm bound, &c.

HYMN 26. P. M.

Brethren, see my Jesus coming,
See hiin come in yonder cloud,
With ten thousand angels round him,
See how they do my Jesus crowd.

2. I will arise and go and meet him,

And embrace him in my arms; In the arms of my dear Jesus,

O there is ten thousand charms.

3. Death shall not destroy my comfort,
Christ shall guard me thro' the gloom;
Down he'll send some heavenly consort
To convey my spirit home.

4. Jordan's stream shall ne'er o'erflow me
While my Savior's by my side;
Canaan, Canaan lies before me,
Soon I'll cross the swelling tide.

5.

See the happy spirits waiting On the banks beyond the stream, Sweet responses still repeating, Jesus, Jesus is their theme.

6. See, they whisper! hark! they call me; Sister spirit come away!

Lo, I come, earth can't contain me; ye realms of endless day.

7.

Hail

Worlds of light and crowns of glory,
Far above yon azure sky;

Though by faith I now explore ye,
I'll enjoy you soon on high.

Ε. Soon I'll gain a full possession,
Faith and hope shall thenceforth cease,
Lost in love's exhaustless ocean,
Love, that brightest, sweetest grace.
9- Swiftly roll, ye lingering hours!
Seraphs lend your glittering wings;

Love absorbs my ransom'd powers,
Heavenly sounds around me ring.
10. Worlds above are bright and glorious,
All beneath is dark and void;
Conquest gained, I'll shout victorious,
In the praises of my God.

11. Smiling angels now surround me, Troops resplendent fill the skies, Glory shining all around me,

While my towering spirit flies.
12. Jesus, clad in dazzling splendor,
Now methinks appears in my view;
Brethren, could you see my Jesus,
You would love and serve him too.

HYMN 27. P. M.

When I set out for glory,
I left the world behind,

Determined for a city,

That's out of sight to find.
And to glory I will go,

And to glory I will go, ru go,
And to glory I will go.

2. I left my worldly honor,
I left my worldly fame

[ocr errors]

I left my young companions,
And with them, my good name.
And to glory I will go &c.
3. Some said I'd better tarry,

go,
