Lord, remember me.

C.M.

THOU, from whom all goodness flows,

I lift my heart to Thee;

In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes,
Good Lord, remember me!

When on my aching, burdened heart

My sins lie heavily,

Thy pardon grant, Thy peace impart,
In love remember me!

When trials sore obstruct my way,
And ills I cannot flee,

O let my strength be as my day,
For good remember me!

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,
Shame and reproach shall be,
All hail reproach, and welcome shame,
If Thou remember me!

When in the solemn hour of death
I wait Thy just decree,

Be this the prayer of my last breath,
O Lord, remember me!

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 great white throne,
Nearer the jasper sea.

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,
Is the dim and unknown stream
That leads at last to the light.

Saviour, perfect my trust,

Strengthen the might of my faith;
Let me feel Thee near when I stand
On the rock of the shore of death;

Feel Thee near when my feet
Are slipping over the brink :
For it may be I'm nearer home-
Nearer now than I think!

202 Return unto thy rest, O my soul.

THOU

P.M.

HOU hidden Love of God, whose height,
Whose depth unfathomed no man knows;

I see from far Thy beauteous light,
Inly I sigh for Thy repose:
My heart is pained, nor can it be
At rest, till it find rest in Thee.

'Tis mercy all, that Thou hast brought
My mind to seek her peace in Thee;
Yet while I seek, but find Thee not,
No peace my wandering soul shall see;
O when shall all my wanderings end,
And all my steps to Thee-ward tend!

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,
When it hath found repose in Thee.

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.

INDEX OF FIRST LINES.

Abide with me! fast falls the eventide
All glory, laud, and honour
All people that on earth do dwell
All praise to Thee, my God, this night
Angels, from the realms of glory
Arise, O God, and shine

[ocr errors]

Arm of the Lord, awake, awake!
Around the throne of God in heaven
As with gladness, men of old
Awake, and sing the song
Awake, my soul, and with the sun
* Awake our souls! away our fears!
