EWING.

ALEXANDER EWING.

Amen.

395 "And he shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem.”—Rev. xxi. 10.

FI JERUSALEM the golden!

With milk and honey blest! Beneath thy contemplation dim. Sink heart and voice oppressed. cres. I know not, oh! I know not What joys await us there, What radiancy of glory, What light beyond compare !

2 They stand, those halls of Sion,
All jubilant with song;
And bright with many an Angel
And all the martyr throng.
The Prince is ever in them,

The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed

Are decked in glorious sheen.

3 There is the throne of David,

And there, from care released, The shout of them that triumph, The song of them that feast: And they, who with their Leader Have conquered in the fight, For ever and for ever

Are clad in robes of white.

4 Jerusalem the glorious !
The glory of the elect!
Oh, dear and happy vision
That eager hearts expect!
O Jesu! quickly bring us

To that bright land of rest,
Who art with God the Father,
And Spirit ever blest. Amen.

On the Cross I view Thee
Calling sinners to Thee.
3 There behold me gazing
At the sight amazing;

Bending low before Thee,
Helpless, I adore Thee.

4 By that fount of blessing
Thy dear love expressing,
All my aching sadness

cres. Turn Thou into gladness.
5 Lord, in mercy guide me,
Be Thou e'er beside me ;
In Thy ways direct me,
'Neath Thy wings protect me. Am
