200 Lord, remember me. C.M. THOU, from whom all goodness flows, I lift my heart to Thee; In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes, When on my aching, burdened heart My sins lie heavily, Thy pardon grant, Thy peace impart, When trials sore obstruct my way, O let my strength be as my day, When worn with pain, disease, and grief, This feeble body see, Give patience, rest, and kind relief, Hear, and remember me. If on my face, for Thy loved Name, When in the solemn hour of death Be this the prayer of my last breath, 201 Absent from the body, present with the Lord. P.M. Ο NE sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er I am nearer home to-day Than I ever have been before. Nearer my Father's house, Where the many mansions be; Nearer the bound of life, Where we lay our burdens down; Nearer leaving the cross, Nearer gaining the crown. But lying darkly between, Winding down through the night, Saviour, perfect my trust, Strengthen the might of my faith; Feel Thee near when my feet 202 Return unto thy rest, O my soul. THOU P.M. HOU hidden Love of God, whose height, I see from far Thy beauteous light, 'Tis mercy all, that Thou hast brought Is there a thing beneath the sun That strives with Thee, my heart, to share? Ah, tear it thence, and reign alone The Lord of every nation there! Then shall my heart from earth be free, Each moment draw from earth away My heart, that lowly waits Thy call; Speak to my inmost soul, and say "I am thy Love, thy God, thy All." To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice, To taste Thy love, be all my choice. T INDEX OF FIRST LINES. Abide with me! fast falls the eventide Arm of the Lord, awake, awake!
