5 Show me what I have to do, Every hour my strength renew; Let me live a life of faith, Let me die thy people's death.
1 LORD! I cannot let thee go, Till a blessing thou bestow; Do not turn away thy face, Mine's an urgent, pressing case. 2 Once a sinner, near despair, Sought thy mercy-seat by prayer; Mercy heard and set him free- Lord! that mercy came to me.
3 Many days have passed since then, Many changes I have seen; Yet have been upheld till now; Who could hold me up but thou?
4 Thou hast helped in every need- This emboldens me to plead ; After so much mercy past, Canst thou let me sink at last?
5 No-I must maintain my hold; 'Tis thy goodness makes me bold; I can no denial take,
Since I plead for Jesus' sake.
1 HEAVENLY Father, sovereign Lord, Be thy glorious name adored! Lord, thy mercies never fail; Hail, celestial goodness, hail!
2 Though unworthy, Lord, thine ear, Deign our humble songs to hear; Purer praise we hope to bring, When around thy throne we sing.
3 While on earth ordained to stay, Guide our footsteps in thy way, Till we come to dwell with thee, Till we all thy glory see.
4 Then, with angel-harps again, We will wake a nobler strain; There, in joyful songs of praise, Our triumphant voices raise.
1 THEY Who seek the throne of Find that throne in every place; If we live a life of prayer, God is present everywhere.
2 In our sickness and our health, In our want, or in our wealth, If we look to God in prayer, God is present every where. 3 When our earthly comforts fail, When the foes of life prevail, 'Tis the time for earnest prayer; God is present everywhere.
4 Then, my soul, in every strait, To thy Father come, and wait; He will answer every prayer: God is present everywhere.
1 SOFT and holy is the place,
Where the light that beams from heaven Shows the Saviour's smiling face,
With the joy of sin forgiven.
2 There, with one accord we meet, All the words of life to hear; Bending low at Jesus' feet, Worshiping with godly fear.
3 Let the world and all its cares Now retire from every breast ; Let the tempter and his snares
Cease to hinder or molest.
4 Precious Sabbath of the Lord, Fairest type of heaven above! Purest joy thy scenes afford
To the heart that's tuned to love.
1 HEAVENLY Spirit! may each heart Through these sacred hours be thine, May we from the world depart,
Breathing after things divine.
2 Lead us forth with joy and peace, To thy temple, in thy ways; And when this sweet day shall cease, May its sun go down with praise.
1 STEALING from the world away, We are come to seek thy face; Kindly meet us, Lord, we pray, Grant us thy reviving grace.
2 Yonder stars that gild the sky Shine but with a borrowed light; We, unless thy light be nigh, Wander, wrapt in gloomy night. 3 Sun of Righteousness! dispel All our darkness, doubts, and fears; May thy light within us dwell, Till eternal day appears.
4 Warm our hearts in prayer Lift our every thought above; Hear the grateful songs we raise, Fill us with thy perfect love.
1 Nor all the nobles of the earth, Who boast the honors of their birth, So high a dignity can claim,
As those who bear the Christian name.
2 To them the privilege is given To be the sons and heirs of heaven ; Sons of the God who reigns on high, And heirs of joy beyond the sky. 3 His will he makes them early know, And teaches their young feet to go; Whispers instruction to their minds, And on their hearts his precepts binds. 4 Their daily wants his hands supply, Their steps he guards with watchful eye; Leads them from earth to heaven above, And crowns them with eternal love.
1 WHO shall the Lord's elect condemn? 'Tis God who justifies their souls; And mercy, like a mighty stream, O'er all their sins divinely rolls.
2 Who shall adjudge the saints to hell? "T is Christ who suffered in their stead; And their salvation to fulfill,
Behold him rising from the dead!
3 He lives! he lives! and sits above, Forever interceding there: Who shall divide us from his love, Or what shall tempt us to despair?
4 Shall persecution, or distress,
Famine, or sword, or nakedness? He who hath loved us bears us through, And makes us more than conquerors too!
5 Not all that men on earth can do,
Nor powers on high, nor powers below, Shall cause his mercy to remove,
Or wean our hearts from Christ, our love.
1 LORD, how secure and blest are they, Who feel the joys of pardoned sin ! Should storms of wrath shake earth and sea, Their minds have heaven and peace within.
2 The day glides swiftly o'er their heads, Made up of innocence and love; And soft and silent, as the shades, Their nightly minutes gently move.
3 Quick as their thoughts their joys come on, But fly not half so swift away: Their souls are ever bright as noon, And calm as summer evenings be. 4 How oft they look to heavenly hills, Where streams of living pleasures flow; And longing hopes and cheerful smiles Sit undisturbed upon their brow.
5 They scorn to seek earth's golden toys, But spend the day, and share the night, In numbering o'er the richer joys
That heaven prepares for their delight.
Christ's Intercession.-Heb. 7. 25.
1 HE lives! the great Redeemer lives! What joy the blest assurance gives! And now, before his Father, God, Pleads the full merit of his blood.
2 Repeated crimes awake our fears, And justice armed with frowns appears; But in the Saviour's lovely face Sweet mercy smiles, and all is peace.
