bi-lee, Loud as mighty thunders' roar, Or the fulness of the sea When it breaks up When it breaks up - on the shore. Alle - luia! for the Lord God omnipo- tent shall reign; Ech-o round the world and main! And heav'n and nature sing, And heav'n and nature sing. 492. 1 Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let every heart prepare him room, 2 Joy to the earth, the Saviour reigns! Let men their songs employ ; 3 No more let sins and sorrows grow, He comes to make his blessings flow 4 He rules the world with truth and grace, While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains The glories of his righteousness, Repeat the sounding joy. Beatitudo. 23 23 554 493. C. M. And wonders of his love. Lord, it be-longs not to my care Whether I die or live; To love and serve thee is my share, And this thy grace must give. I LORD, it belongs not to my care To love and serve thee is my share, 2 If life be long, I will be glad If short, yet why should I be sad To soar to endless day? 3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms He that into God's kingdom comes 494. I JESUS! delightful, charming name! 2 He is our life, our joy, our strength; He is a shade above our heads, A light to guide our feet. 3 When storms arise and tempests blow, He speaks the stilling word; The threatening billows cease to flow, 4 Come, Lord, when grace hath made me meet 4 The thickest clouds are soon dispersed Thy blessèd face to see; For, if thy work on earth be sweet, If Jesus shows his face; He is the resting-place. 4 The Lord hath builded for himself, He needs no earthly dome; The u - niverse his dwelling is, 63 24 Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace Our path when wont to stray; Stream, from the fount of O Sacred Head! now wounded, With grief and shame weighed down; Now scornfully surrounded With 25 thorns, thy only crown! O Sacred Head! what glo-ry, What bliss till now was thine! Yet tho' despised and I O SACRED Head! now wounded, Now scornfully surrounded With thorns, thy only crown! 2 What language shall I borrow Thy pity without end? O, show thy cross to me! Dies happy through thy love, 498. I O BLESSED retrospection, O tender recollections Renew our souls to-night! 2 While for this glad reunion Bestow thy blessing, Lord! 3 All the dear fold, O Father, 4 Lord, let thy sacred presence Bind close our hands and hearts.
