PSALMS AND HYMNS.

1.

"Absent from the body, present with the Lord."-2 Cor. v. 8.

L.M.

ABSENT from flesh! O blissful thought! What unknown joys this moment brings! Freed from the mischiefs sin hath brought, From pains and fears, and all their springs. 2 Absent from flesh! illustrious day! Surprising scene! triumphant stroke That rends the prison of my clay, And I can feel my fetters broke.

3 Absent from flesh! then rise, my soul, Where feet nor wings could never climb, Beyond the heav'ns, where planets roll, Meas'ring the cares and joys of time.

4 I go where God and glory shine, His presence makes eternal day: My all that's mortal I resign,

For angels wait and point my way.

2. "Being made a curse for us."-Gal. iii. 13. 8.7's.

ACCURSED is the Lamb of God,

'Tis for man he bears the rod ;

Earth and skies are veil'd in grief,
Man alone shows unbelief.
