3 Ashamed of Jesus, yes we may
When we've no sins to wash away,
No tears to wipe, no joys to crave,
And no immortal soul to save.

4 Till then, nor is the boasting vain,
Till then I'll boast a Saviour slain;
And O may this our portion be,
That Saviour not asham'd of me.

C.M.

1 THE billows swell, the winds are high,
Clouds overcast my wintry sky;
Out of the depths to thee I call,

My fears are great, my strength is small.

2 O Lord, the pilot's part perform,

And guide and guard me through the storm
Defend me from each threatening ill,
Control the waves, say, "Peace, be still."

3 Amidst the roaring of the sea,

My soul still hangs her hope on thee;
Thy constant love, thy faithful care,
Shall still preserve nie from despair.

4 Dangers of every shape and name,
Attend the followers of the Lamb,
Who leave the world's deceitful shore,
And leave it, to return no more.

5 Though tempest-toss'd and half a wreck, My Saviour through the floods I seek; Let neither winds nor stormy main, Force back my shattered bark again.

6-8s,

1 WHEN gathering clouds around I view,
And days are dark, and friends are few,
On him I lean, who not in vain,
Experienced every human pain;
He sees my wants, allays my fears,
And counts and treasures up my tears.

2 If aught should tempt my soul to stray
From heavenly wisdom's narrow way,
To flee the good I would pursue,
Or do the sin I would not do,-
Still he who felt temptation's power
Shall guard me in that dangerous hour.

3 When vexing thoughts within me rise,
And sore dismayed my spirit dies,
Yet he who once vouchsafed to bear
The sickening anguish of despair,
Shall sweetly sooth, shall gently dry,
The throbbing heart, the streaming eye.

4 When sorrowing o'er some stone I bend, Which covers all that was a friend,

And from his hand, his voice, his smile,
Divides me for a little while;

Thou Saviour mark'st the tears I shed
For thou did'st weep o'er Lazarus dead.

5 And O! when I have safely past,
Through every conflict but the last,
Still, Lord, unchanging watch beside
My dying bed, for thou hast died;
Then point to realms of cloudless day
And wipe the latest tear away.

1 FROM Egypt lately come,
Where death and darkness reign,
We seek our new, our better home,
Where we our rest shall gain.
Hallelujah!

2

We are on our way to God.

There sin and sorrow cease,
And every conflict's o'er;

P.M.

Then we shall dwell in endless peace,

And never suffer more.

Hallelujah! &c. &c.

3 There, in celestial strains,
Enraptured myriads sing;
There love in every bosom reigns,
For God himself is King.
Hallelujah, &c. &c.

4

How sweet the prospect is!
It cheers the pilgrim's breast:

We're journeying through the wilderness,
But soon shall gain our rest.
Hallelujah, &c. &c.

1 GOD moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;

He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rides
upon the storm.

2 Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never failing skill,

He treasures up his great designs
And works his sovereign will.

C.M.

3 Ye fearful saints fresh courage take,
The clouds ye so much dread,
Are big with mercy and shall break,
In blessings on your head.

4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.

201.

S.M.

J GREAT is the Lord our God,
And let his praise be great:
He makes his churches his abode,
His most delightful seat.

2 These temples of his grace,
How beautiful they stand!
The honours of our native place
And bulwarks of our land.

3 In every new distress
We'll to his house repair;
We'll think

upon his wond'rous grace,

And seek deliverance there.

4 The God we worship now
Will guide us till we die;

Will be our God while here below,
And ours above the sky.

202.

1 OH God our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come;
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.

2 Under the shadow of thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure ;
Sufficient is thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure.

C.M.
