And faith beholds the dying here
Translated to that glorious sphere.
4 Thus star by star declines,
Till all are passed away;

As morning high and higher shines
To pure and perfect day;

Nor sink those stars in empty night,
But hide themselves in heav'ns own light.
The saints in heaven.

P. M. 71

HO are these in bright array,

i WHO

This innumerable throng,

Round the altar night and day,
Tuning their triumphant song?
"Worthy is the Lamb, once slain,
Blessing, honor, glory, pow'r,
Wisdom, riches, to obtain

New dominion ev'ry hour."
2 These through fiery trials trod;
These from great affliction came;
Now, before the throne of God,
Seal'd with his eternal name,
Clad in raiment pure and white,
Victor palms in ev'ry hand,
Through their great Redeemer's might,
More than conquerors they stand.
3 Hunger, thirst, disease unknown,
On immortal fruits they feed:
Them the Lamb amidst the throne
Shall to living fountains lead.
Joy and gladness banish sighs;
Perfect love dispels their fears;
And for ever from their eyes

God shall wipe away their tears.

1003 Re-union of the good in heaven,

C. M.

LEST hour, when virtuous friends shall meet,
Their early sorrows o'er;

And with celestial welcome greet,

On an immortal shore.

2 The parent finds his long-lost child;
Brothers on brothers gaze:
The tear of resignation mild

Is chang'd to joy and praise.
3 Each tender tie, dissolv'd with pain,
With endless bliss is crown'd:
All that was dead revives again,
All that was lost is found.

4 And while remembrance, ling'ring still,
Draws joy from sorrowing hours,
New prospects rise, new pleasures fill
The soul's expanding pow'rs.

5 Congenial minds, array'd in light,
High thoughts shall interchange;
Nor cease, with ever-new delight,
On wings of love to range.

6 Their Father marks the gen'rous flame,
And looks complacent down:

The smile, that owns their filial claim,
Is their immortal crown.

HEN shall we meet again?-
Meet ne'er to sever?

When will peace wreath her chain
Round us for ever?

Our hearts will ne'er repose

Safe from each blast that blows
In this dark vale of woes-

Never-no, never!

2 When shall love freely flow
Pure as life's river?

When shall sweet friendship glow
Changeless for ever?

Where joys celestial thrill,

Where bliss each heart shall fill,

And fears of parting chill

Never-no, never!

3 Up to that world of light
Take us, dear Savior;
May we all there unite,
Happy for ever:

Where kindred spirits dwell,
There may our music swell,
And time our joys dispel,
Never-no, never!

4 Soon shall we meet again-
Meet ne'er to sever;
Soon will peace wreath her chain
Round us for ever:

Our hearts will then repose
Secure from worldly woes:

Our songs of praise shall close

Never-no, never!

Christians meet for social pray'r;
If 'tis sweet with them to raise
Songs of holy joy and praise;
Passing sweet that state must be
Where they meet eternally.

Preparations for above;

While we worship in this place,
May we grow from grace to grace,
Till we, each in his degree,
