And swell the blissful chorus
Of happy saints above,
Who reached their home before us,
And sing and praise and love?

3 Lord, fit us to inherit

The glory and the throne;
And, through the Saviour's merit,
Receive us as Thine own:
May we possess that treasure
Unfolded in Thy word,
And find seraphic pleasure
For ever with the Lord!

462 What are these which are arrayed in

1

white robes?-REVELATION_vii. 13.

7 7.7 7.7 7.7 7.

WHAT are these arrayed in white,

Brighter than the noon-day sun?
Foremost of the sons of light,

Nearest the eternal throne ?
These are they that bore the cross,
Nobly for their Master stood;
Sufferers in His righteous cause,
Followers of the dying God.

2 Out of great distress they came,
Washed their robes by faith below
In the blood of yonder Lamb,

Blood that washes white as snow:
Therefore are they next the throne,
Serve their Maker day and night;
God resides among His own,

God doth in His saints delight. 3 More than conquerors at last,

Here they find their trials o'er;
They have all their sufferings past,
Hunger now and thirst no more;

No excessive heat they feel
From the sun's directer ray,
In a milder clime they dwell,
Region of eternal day.

4 He that on the throne doth reign,
Them the Lamb shall always feed,
With the tree of life sustain,

To the living fountains lead;
He shall all their sorrows chase,
All their wants at once remove,
Wipe the tears from every face,
Fill up every soul with love.

463 The streams whereof shall make glad 11 7.11 7.7 7.10 7. the city of God.-PSALM xlvi. 4.

1 HAVE you not heard of a beautiful stream
That flows through our Father's land?
Its waters gleam bright in the heavenly light,
And ripple o'er golden sand.

O seek that beautiful stream,

O seek that beautiful stream;

Its waters so free are flowing for thee,
O seek that beautiful stream.

2 With murmuring sound doth it wander along Through fields of eternal green,

Where songs of the blest in their haven of rest Float soft on the air serene. O seek, etc.

3 Its fountains are deep, and its waters are pure, And sweet to the weary soul;

It flows from the throne of Jehovah alone:
O come where its bright waves roll. Oseek, etc.

4 This beautiful stream is the river of life,
It flows for all nations free ;

A balm for each wound in its waters is found, O sinner, it flows for thee.

O seek, etc.

5 O will you not drink of the beautiful stream, And dwell on its peaceful shore ?

1

The Spirit says, 'Come, all ye weary ones, home, And wander in sin no more.' O seek, etc.

464 He showed me a pure river of water of 87.8 7.8 9.9 7. life.-REVELATION Xxii. 1.

1

HALL we gather at the river,
Where bright angel feet have trod,

With its crystal tide for ever
Flowing by the throne of God?

Yes, we'll gather at the river;

The beautiful, the beautiful river;
Gather with the saints at the river,
That flows by the throne of God.

2 On the margin of the river,
Washing up its silver spray,
We will walk and worship ever,
All the happy golden day.

Yes, we'll gather at the river, etc.

3 Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we every burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver,
And provide a robe and crown.

Yes, we'll gather at the river, etc.

4 At the smiling of the river,
Mirror of the Saviour's face,
Saints whom death will never sever
Lift their songs of saving grace.
Yes, we'll gather at the river, etc.
5 Soon we 'll reach the shining river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease,
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.

366 Yes, we'll gather at the river, etc.,

C.M., WITH CHorus.

WE'RE marching to the promised land,
A land all fair and bright;

Come join our happy youthful band,

And seek the plains of light.

We are marching through Immanuel's ground,
And soon shall hear the trumpet sound;
And there we shall with Jesus reign,

And never, never part again.

What never part again? No, never part again; What never part again? No, never part again; And there we shall with Jesus reign, And never, never part again.

2 The Saviour feeds His little flock,
His grace is freely given,

The living water from the rock,
And daily bread from heaven.

We are marching through Immanuel's ground, etc.

3 In that bright land no sin is found,
But all are happy there,

And youthful voices sweetly blend
In the angelic choir.

We are marching through Immanuel's ground, etc.

4 Our teachers kindly point the way
And guide our feet aright,

To the bright realms of endless day,
Where Jesus is the light.

We are marching through Immanuel's ground, etc.

MORNING.

466 The Sun of righteousness arise, with healing 77.7 7.7 7. in His wings.-MALACHI iv. 2. CHRIST, whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true, the only Light,

1

CHE

Sun of righteousness, arise,

Triumph o'er the shades of night;
Day-spring from on high, be near:
Day-star, in my heart appear!
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn,
Unaccompanied by Thee;
Joyless is the day's return,

Till Thy mercy's beams I see;
Till Thou inward light impart,
Glad my eyes, and warm my heart.

3 Visit then this soul of mine,

Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
Fill me, Radiancy divine!

Scatter all my unbelief;

More and more Thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day!

467 My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning,

1

Α'

O LORD.-PSALM V. 3.

WAKE, my soul, and with the sun
Thy daily stage of duty run;

Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise,
To pay thy morning sacrifice.

2 Let all thy converse be sincere,

Thy conscience as the noon-day clear;
For God's all-seeing eye surveys

L.M.

Thy secret thoughts, thy words, and ways.
