Reed.

Lord, what a tho'tless wretch was I, To mourn and murmur and re-pine,

To see the wicked plac'd on high, In pride and robes of honor shine.

But, O their end, their dreadful end, Thy sanctu-a-ry taught me
But, O their end, &c.

Majesty. C. M.

a thousand tongues to sing My great Re-deemer's praise,

The glories of my God and King, The tri

umphs of his grace.

My gra-cious Mas-ter and my God, Assist me to pro - claim

To spread thro' all the earth a-broad The hon-ors of thy name;

To spread thro' all the earth a-broad The honors of thy name.

2 My gracious Master, and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,-
To spread, through all the earth abroad,
The honors of thy Name.

3 Jesus! the Name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
Tis music in the sinner's ears,

"Tis life, and health, and peace. 4 He breaks the power of cancell'd sin, He sets the pris'ner free;

| His blood can make the foulest clean; His blood avail'd for me.

5 He speaks,—and, list'ning to His voice,
New life the dead receive;
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
The humble poor believe.

6 Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye lumb.
Your loosen'd tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Savior come;
And leap, ye lame, for joy.

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives a

2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, | 4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Saviour, Friend,

And calms the troubled breast;

"Tis manna to the hungry soul

And to the weary, rest.

8 Dear Name, the rock on which I build,
My shield and hiding-place;
My never-failing-treasure, fill'd
With boundless stores of grace:

My Prophet, Priest, and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.

5 I would thy boundless love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
So shall the music of thy name
Refresh my soul in death.

1 I know that my Redeemer lives,
And ever prays for me;

A token of his love he gives-
A pledge of liberty.

2 I find him lifting up my head;
He brings salvation near;
His presence makes me free indeed,
And he will soon appear.

3 He wills that I should holy be!
What can withstand his will?
The counsel of his grace in me
He surely shall fulfil.

4 Jesus, I hang upon thy word;
I steadfastly believe

Thou wilt return and claim me, Lord, And to thyself receive.

5 When God is mine, and I am his, Of paradise possess'd,

I taste unutterable bliss
And everlasting rest.

(704.)

1 Jesus, united by thy grace,
And each to each endear'd,
With confidence we seek thy face,
And know our prayer is heard.
2 Still let us own our common Lord,
And bear thine easy yoke-
A band of love, a threefold cord,
Which never can be broke.

3 Make us into one spirit drink;
Baptize into thy name;
And let us always kindly think
And sweetly speak the same.
4 Touch'd by the loadstone of thy love,
Let all our hearts agree;
And ever toward each other move,
And ever move toward thee.
5 To thee, inseparably join'd,
Let all our spirits cleave;
O may we all the loving mind
That was in thee receive.

Saints bear victorious palms,
Chant your celestial psalms,

3 Heaven's bliss is perfect, pure, Jesus is there;

Heaven's bliss is ever sure,

Thou art its heir.

What makes its hymns so sweet? What makes its joys complete? There we our friends shall meet Jesus is there.
