6 Cause us the record to receive!
Speak, and the tokens show,
"O be not faithless, but believe,
"In Me, who died for you!"'

Hanover.] HYMN 427. 10's & 11's.

APPOINTED by thee we meet in thy

name,

And meekly agree to follow the Lamb;

To trace thine example, the world to disdain, And constantly trample on pleasure and pain. 20 what shall we do our Saviour to love!

To make us anew, come, Lord, from above: The fruit of thy passion, thy holiness give! Give us the salvation of all that believe! 3 O Jesus, appear, no longer delay To sanctify here, and bear us away; The end of our meeting on earth let us see; Triumphantly sitting in glory with thee!

Mount Tabor.] HYMN 428. C. M.

1 LEST be the dear uniting love, That will not let us part,

Our bodies may far off remove,

We still are one in heart.

2 Join'd in one spirit to our Head,
Where he appoints we go;
And still in Jesu's footsteps tread,
And show his praise below.

30 may we ever walk in him,
And nothing know beside,
Nothing desire, nothing esteem,
But Jesus crucify'd!

4 Closer and closer let us cleave
To his belov'd embrace;

Expect his fulness to receive;
And grace to answer grace.
5 Partakers of the Saviour's grace,
The same in mind and heart,
Nor joy, nor grief, nor time, nor place,
Nor life, nor death, can part.

6 But let us hasten to the day,
Which shall our flesh restore :
When death shall all be done away,
And bodies part no more.

Flixton.] HYMN 429. 4 6's & 2,8's.

JESUS, accept the praise

That to thy Name belongs!

Matter of all our lays,

Subject of all our songs;

Through thee we now together came,
And part exulting in thy Name.

In flesh we part awhile,

But still in spirit join'd
T' embrace the happy toil,
Thou hast to each assign'd;

And while we do thy blessed will,
We bear our heaven about us still.
O let us thus go on

In all thy pleasant ways,
And, arm'd with patience, run
With joy th' appointed race!
Keep us and every seeking soul,
Till all attain the heavenly goal.`
There we shall meet again,
When all our toils are o'er,
And death, and grief, and pain,
And parting are no more:

We shall with all our brethren rise,
And grasp thee in the flaming skies.

O happy, happy day,

That calls thy exiles home!
The heav'ns shall pass away,

The earth receive its doom:

Earth we shall view, and heav'n destroy'd,
And shout above the fiery void.

These eyes shall see them fall,
Mountains, and stars, and skies!
These eyes shall see them all
Out of their ashes rise!

These lips his praises shall rehearse,
Whose nod restores the universe.

According to his word,

His oath to sinners giv'n,

We look to see restor'd

The ruin'd earth and heav'n!
In a new world his truth to prove,
A world of righteousness and love.
Then let us wait the sound,

That shall our souls release,
And labour to be found

Of him in spotless peace;

In perfect holiness renew'd,

Adorn'd with Christ, and meet for God!

Peterborough.] HYMN 430. C. M.

GOD of all consolation, take

The glory of thy grace!

Thy gifts to thee we render back
In ceaseless songs of praise.

2 Thro' thee we now together came
In singleness of heart;

We met, O Jesus, in thy name;
And in thy name we part.

3 We part in body, not in mind;
Our minds continue one:

And each to each in Jésus join'd,
We hand in hand go on.

4 Subsists as in us all one soul;
No power can make us twain;
And mountains rise, and oceans roll,
To sever us in vain.

5 Present we still in spirit are,
And intimately nigh;

While on the wings of faith and prayer
We each to other fly.

6 In Jesus Christ together we
In heavenly places sit :

Cloth'd with the sun, we smile to see
The moon beneath our feet.

7. Our life is hid with Christ in God!
Our Life shall soon appear,
And shed his glory all abroad
On all his members here.

8 The heavenly treasure now we have
In a vile house of clay;
But He shall to the utmost save,
And keep us to that day.

9 Our souls are in his mighty hand,
And he shall keep them still;
And you and I shall surely stand
With him on Zion's hill.

10 Him eye to eye we there shall see,
Our face like his shall shine:
O what a glorious company,
When saints and angels join!

10 what a joyful meeting there!
In robes of white array'd:
Palms in our hands we all shall bear,

And crowns upon our head.

12 Then let us lawfully contend,
And fight our passage through:
Bear in our faithful minds the end,
And keep the prize in view.

13 Then let us hasten to the day,

6

When all shall be brought home! Come, O Redeemer, come away! O Jesus, quickly come!

Durham.] HYMN 431. S. M.

ND let our bodies part,

A To different climes repair;
Inseparably join'd in heart
The friends of Jesus are!

Jesus, the corner-stone,

Did first our hearts unite!
And still he keeps our spirits one,
Who walk with him in white.

O let us still proceed

In Jesu's work below;

And foll'wing our triumphant Head,
To farther conquests go.

The vineyard of the Lord
Before his lab'rers lies;

And lo! we see the vast reward
Which waits us in the skies!

O let our heart and mind
Continually ascend;

That haven of repose to find,
Where all our labours end!

Where all our toils are o'er,
Our suff'ring and our pain;
Who meet on that eternal shore,
Shall never part again.
