2 Thee, we expect, our faithful Lord, 3 Whom now we feek, O may we meet! I Shew us thy bleeding hands and feet, HYMN CCXXXVI. And meekly agree to follow the Lamb, To trace thine example, the world to difdain, And conftantly trample on pleasure and pain. 2 O what fhall we do, our Saviour to love? To make us anew, come Lord from above! The fruit of thy paffion, thy holiness give! Give us the falvation of all that believe! 30 Jefus appear! no longer delay, To fanctify here, and bear us away; The end of our meeting, at length, let us fee, Triumphantly fitting in glory with thee! I PARTING OF CHRISTIAN FRIENDS. HYMN CCXXXVII. C. M. That will not let us part! us love, Our bodies may far off remove, 2 Join'd in one fpirit to our Head, And ftill in Jefu's footfteps tread, 3 O may we ever walk in him, 4 Closer and clofer let us cleave 5 Partakers of the Saviour's grace, 6 But let us haften to the day, When death shall all be done away, HYMN CCXXXVIII.

HYMN CCXXXIX. C, M. Go OD of all confolation, take Thy gifts to thee we render back 2 Thro' thee we now together came We met, O Jefus, in thy name; 3 We part in body, not in mind: 4 Subfifts as in us all one foul; No pow'r can make us twain: And mountains rife and oceans roll, To fever us, in vain. 5 Prefent we ftill in spirit are, While on the wings of faith and prayr, 6 In Jefus Chrift, together we Cloath'd with the fun, we smile to fee The moon beneath our feet. 7 Our life is hid with Chrift in God; And shed his glory all abroad The heav'nly treasure now we have 9 Our fouls are in his mighty hand, 10 Him, eye to eye, we there shall fee; 11 O what a joyful meeting there! 12 Then let us lawfully contend, 13 Then let us haften to the day, I HYMN CCXL. S. M. ND let our bodies part, Infeparably join'd in heart, 2 Jefus, the corner-ftone, Did firft our hearts unite! And ftill he keeps our fpirits one, Who walk with him in white, 3 O let us ftill proceed 1 In Jefu's work below; And foll'wing our triumphant Head, To farther conquests go. 4 The vineyard of the Lord Before his labourers lies; |
