HYMNS

FOR THE SICK ROOM.

C. M.

Consolations in Sickness.

1 WHEN languor and disease invade This trembling house of clay, "Tis sweet to look beyond my pains, And long to fly away.

2 Sweet to look inward, and attend
The whispers of his love;

Sweet to look upward, to the place
Where Jesus pleads above.

3 Sweet to look back, and see my name In life's fair book set down:

Sweet to look forward, and behold

Eternal joys my own.

(145)

4 Sweet to reflect how grace divine

My sins on Jesus laid;

Sweet to remember that his blood
My debt of suffering paid.

5 Sweet in his righteousness to stand,
Which saves from second death;
Sweet to experience, day by day,
His Spirit's quickening breath.

6 Sweet on his faithfulness to rest,
Whose love can never end;
Sweet on his covenant of grace,
For all things to depend.

7 Sweet in the confidence of faith,
To trust his firm decrees;

Sweet to lie passive in his hands,
And know no will but his.

8 If such the sweetness of the streams,
What must the fountain be;

Where saints and angels draw their bliss,
Immediately from thee!

Christians have all in Christ.

1 JESUS, lover of my soul,

Let me to thy bosom fly, While the raging billows roll, While the tempest still is high. O my Saviour, hide,

Hide me,

Till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide;

O! receive my soul at last.

2 Other refuge have I none,

Hangs my helpless soul on thee; Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me,

All my trust on thee is staid,

All my help from thee I bring;
Cover my defenceless head,

With the shadow of thy wing,

3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; All in all in thee I find;

Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,

Heal the sick and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name,

I am all unrighteousness;
Vile and full of sin I am,

Thou art full of truth and grace.

4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
Grace to pardon all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound,
Make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art,
Freely let me take of thee;

Spring thou up within my heart,
Rise to all eternity.
