[4] Yet doubts still intervene,
And all my comfort flies;
Like Noah's dove, I flit between
Rough seas and stormy skies.

3 [5]" Forever with the Lord!"
Father, if 't is thy will,

The promise of thy gracious word
E'en here to me fulfil.

[6] Be thou at my right hand,

So I shall never fail :

Uphold me, and I needs must stand;
Fight, and I shall prevail.

4 [7]So, when my latest breath

Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death, And life eternal gain. [8]Knowing "as I am known,"

How shall I love that word, And oft repeat before the throne, "Forever with the Lord!"

I O STAR of truth, down shining
Through clouds of doubt and fear,

I ask but 'neath thy guidance
My pathway may appear:
However long the journey,
How hard soe'er it be,
Though I be lone and weary,
Lead on, I'll follow thee!

2 I know thy blessed radiance
Can never lead astray,
However ancient custom

May tread some other way;
E'en if through untrod deserts,
Or over trackless sea,
Though I be lone and weary,
Lead on, I'll follow thee!

3 The bleeding feet of martyrs
Thy toilsome road have trod;
But fires of human passion

May light the way to God:
Then, though my feet should falter,
While I thy beams can see,
Though I be lone and weary,
Lead on, I'll follow thee!

4 Though loving friends forsake me,
Or plead with me in tears;
Though angry foes may threaten,
To shake my soul with fears,
Still, to my high allegiance.

I must not faithless be;
Through life or death forever,
Lead on, I'll follow thee!

277.

I ROLL on, thou mighty ocean,
And, as thy billows flow,
Bear messengers of mercy
To every land below.
Arise, ye gales, and waft them

Safe to the destined shore,

That man may sit in darkness

And death's black shade no more.

2 O thou eternal Ruler,

Who holdest in thine arm

The tempest of the ocean,

Protect them from all harm! Thy presence, Lord, be with them Wherever they may be ;

Though far from those who love them, Still let them be with thee.

I ALL glory, laud, and honor
To thee, Redeemer, King,
To whom the lips of children

Made sweet hosannas ring!
Thou art the King of Israel,

Thou David's royal Son,
Who in the Lord's name comest,
The King and blessed One!

2 The company of angels

Are praising thee on high,
And mortal men and all things
Created make reply;
The people of the Hebrews

With palms before thee went:
Our praise and prayer and anthems
Before thee we present.

3 To thee before thy passion

They sang their hymns of praise;
To thee now high exalted
Our melody we raise.
Thou didst accept their praises :
Accept the prayers we bring,
Who in all good delightest,

Thou good and gracious King!

279.

I O BREAD to pilgrims given,
O food that angels eat,

O manna sent from heaven,

For heaven-born natures meet!

Give us, for thee long pining,
To eat till richly filled,
Till, earth's delights resigning,
Our every wish is stilled.

2 O water, life bestowing,

Forth from the Saviour's heart,

A fountain purely flowing,

A fount of love thou art!
O, let us, freely tasting,

Our burning thirst assuage!
Thy sweetness, never wasting,
Avails from age to age.

3 Jesus, this feast receiving,
We thee, unseen, adore ;
Thy faithful word believing,

We taste, and doubt no more. Give us, thou true and loving, On earth to live in thee; Then, death the veil removing, Thy glorious face to see!

285.

I WHEN death was on the path he trod, And Jesus saw his work was done, He raised his eyes, and prayed to God That his disciples might be one.

2 This, Father, is our prayer to-day,

That we may one in spirit be, Through Christ, who came to teach the And all united, God, in thee!

way,

3 One in the Faith that works by love,
And purifies the heart and life;
One in the Hope that looks above,
And sees an end of sin and strife ;

4 One in the Love that warms the heart
And makes it thy most worthy shrine;
And one in thee, O God, who art
The Giver of these gifts divine !
