4 Swift I ascend the heavenly place, 5 Sink down, ye separating hills; "Tis love that drives my chariot wheels, And death must yield to love. 911 4th P. M. 886, 886. Always rejoicing. HOW happy, gracious Lord! are we, Divinely drawn to follow thee, Whose hours divided are Betwixt the mount and multitude: 3 The winter's night, and summer's day, Glide imperceptibly away, Too short to sing thy praise; Too few we find the happy hours, And haste to join those heavenly powers In everlasting lays. 4 With all who chant thy name on high, And, Holy, holy, holy, cry, (A bright, harmonious throng!) TH Stand up, and bless the Lord forever." S. M. HOU, Lord, art God alone: 2 Earth is thy footstool made, 3 At thy command we rise, Thy gracious Name to bless; And thee, the Lord of earth and skies, We joyfully confess. 4 Our joy, to sing of thee; To triumph in thy love; And this, transporting thought, shall be Our endless work above. LORD! I delight in thee, And on thy care depend; 2 When nature's streams are dried, S. M. 3 Who made my heaven secure, What can I want beside? 4 I cast my care on thee! I triumph and adore: Henceforth my great concern shall be 914 0 8th P. M. 87, 87, 47. Hallelujah. THOU God of my salvation, Where shall I thy praise begin? Shall his glorious image bear. 3 While the angel choirs are crying,— Is the sound of Jesus' name! 4 Angels now are hov'ring round us, Hallelujah, Love and praise to Christ belong! 915 21st P. M. 66, 84, 66, 84. Triumphant trust in God. MY Shepherd's mighty aid, His dear redeeming love, I joy to prove. Led onward by my guide, I view the verdant scene, Where limpid waters gently glide 2 In error's maze my soul Shall wander now no more; His Spirit shall, with sweet control, My willing steps shall lead In paths of righteousness; His power defend; his bounty feed; 3 Affliction's deepest gloom Shall but his love display; With living ray. My failing flesh his rod Shall thankfully adore; My heart shall vindicate my God Forever more. 4 His goodness ever nigh, Shall while I live, shall when I die, Still follow me. Forever shall my soul His boundless blessings prove; Adore and love. 916 10th P. M. 8 lines 8s. THO Longing for still closer communion. NHOU Shepherd of Israel, and mine, For closer communion I pine; I long to reside where thou art: The pasture I languish to find, Where all, who their Shepherd obey, Are fed, on thy bosom reclined, And screen'd from the heat of the day. 2 'Tis there, with the lambs of thy flock, There only, I covet to rest; To lie at the foot of the rock, Or rise to be hid in thy breast: 'Tis there I would always abide, And never a moment depart,Conceal'd in the cleft of thy side, Eternally held in thy heart. 917 THOU 1st P.
