Thou didst from heaven come down,

In all our misery, one.

Confessed and borne by Thee;
The gall, the curse, the wrath, were
To set Thy members free. [Thine,

That Thou with us art truly one,

And we are one with Thee!

When, seated on Thy throne, [day,
Thou shalt to wondering worlds dis-
That Thou with us art one. [play

"Thy name is as ointment poured forth." PART I.

ImfJESUS, the very thought of Thee

With sweetness fills my breast;

dim But sweeter far Thy face to see, And in Thy presence rest.

PART II.

1 ƒ O JESUS, King most wonderful,
Thou Conqueror renowned,

p Thou sweetness most ineffable,
In whom all joys are found!

2 mf Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame, 2 mf When once Thou visitest the heart,

Nor can the memory find

A sweeter sound than Thy blest name,

O Saviour of mankind!

[blocks in formation]

Then truth begins to shine,
Then earthly vanities depart,

Then kindles love divine.

fO Jesus, Light of all below,
Thou Fount of living fire,

Surpassing all the joys we know
And all we can desire;

4mf But what to those who find! Ah! this 4mf May every heart confess Thy name,

Nor tongue nor pen can show;
The love of Jesus, what it is
None but His loved ones know.

5 f Jesus, our only joy be Thou,

As Thou our prize wilt be; cres Jesus, be Thou our glory now And through eternity.

And ever Thee adore ;

cres And, seeking Thee, itself inflame To seek Thee more and more.

5 ƒ Thee may our tongues for ever bless; Thee may we love alone;

cres And ever in our lives express

Amen.

The image of Thine own. Amen.

293 "Whom have I in heaven but Thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire

ImfOBJECT of my first desire,

Jesus, crucified for me!
All to happiness aspire,
Only to be found in Thee:

beside Thee."

Thee to please, and Thee to know,
This be all our bliss below;

cres Thee to see, and Thee to love,
This be all our bliss above.

2 p Lord, it is not life to live,

If Thy presence Thou deny ; Lord, if Thou Thy presence give, 'Tis no longer death to die. mf Source and Giver of repose, Singly from Thy smile it flows: Peace and happiness are Thine; Mine they are, if Thou art mine.

ImfSOMETHING every heart is loving; p Thou art loving, sweet, and tender,

If not Jesus, none can rest : Lord, my heart to Thee is given, Take it, for it loves Thee best. 2 mf Thus I cast the world behind me, Jesus most beloved shall be ; cres Beauteous more than all things He alone is joy to me. [beauteous, 3mf Bright with all eternal radiance Is the glory of Thy face;

Shall I not love Thee, my God? 5mf Keep my heart still faithful to Thee, That my earthly life may be

But a shadow to that glory

Of my hidden life in Thee! Amen.

"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God."

I mfBLEST are the pure in heart,
For they shall see their God:
The secret of the Lord is theirs;
Their soul is Christ's abode.
2 mfThe Lord, who left the sky

Our life and peace to bring,
And dwelt in lowliness with men,
Their pattern and their King,—

3 mfStill to the lowly soul

He doth Himself impart;
And for His dwelling and His throne
Chooseth the pure in heart.

4 Lord, we Thy presence seek;
May ours this blessing be;
Give us a pure and lowly heart.
A temple meet for Thee! Amen.
