I know in all that has befel,
My Jesus has done all things well.
. Tho' many a flaming fiery dart,
Attempt their level at my heart;
With this I all my rage repel-
My Jesus has done all things well.
8. Sometimes the Lord his face doth hide,
To make me pray and kill my pride;
Yet on my heart it still doth dwell,
My Jesus has done all things well.
9. Soon I shall pass this vale of death,
And in his arms resign my breath:
Yet then my happy soul shall tell,
My Jesus has done all things well.
10. And when to those bright worlds I rise,
And join the anthem with the skies;
Above the rest this note shall swell,
My Jesus has done all things well:
HYMN 2.
CHRIST the Appletree.
THE tree of life my soul hath seen,
Laden with fruit and always green,
The trees of nature fruitless be,
Compar'd with Christ the appletree.
2. His beauty doth all things excel,
By faith I know, but ne'er can tell
The glory which I now can see,
In Jesus Christ the appletree.
3. For happiness I long have sought, And pleasure dearly I have bought;
I miss'd of all, but now I see
'Twas found in Christ the appletree.
4. I'm wearied with my former toil, Here I will set and rest a while : Under the shadow I will be
Of Jesus Christ the appletree,
5. With great elight I make my stay,
There's none shali fright my soul away;
Among the sons of men I see,
There's none like Christ the appletree.
I'll sit and eat this fruit divine,
It cheers my heart like spirit'al wine,
And now this fruit is sweet to me,
That grows on Christ the appletree.
7. This fruit doth make my soul to thrive,
It keeps my dying faith alive;
Which makes my soul in haste to be
With Jesus Christ the appletree.
FAREWELL, my brethren in the Lord,
The gospel sounds a jubilee;
My stamm'ring tongue shall sound aloud,
From land to land, from sea to sea:
And as I preach from place to place,
I'll trust alone in God's free grace.
2. Farewell! in bonds and union dear:
Like strings you twine about my heart;
I humbly beg your earnest pray'r,
Till we shall meet no more to part
A 2

3. For happiness I long have sought,
And pleasure dearly I have bought;
I am safe, and I am happy,
While in thy dear arms I lie;
Sin nor Satan cannot hurt me,
While my saviour is so nigh,
2. Glory, glory, glory, glory,
Glory be to God on high,
Glory, glory, glory, glory,
Sing his praises thro' the sky;
Glory, glory, glory, glory,
Glory to the Father give,
Glory, glory, glory, glory,
Sing his praises all that live!
3. Now I'll sing my Saviour's meritTeil the world of his dear name, That if any want his spirit,
He is still the very same..
He that asketh soon receiveth,
He that seeks is sure to find:
Whosoe'er on him believeth,
He will never cast behind.
4. Now our advocate is pleading With his father and our God: And for us is interceding,
As the purchase of his blood.. Now methinks I hear him praying, "Father! Save them-I have died And the Father answers, saying, "They are freely justified."
Soon we hope to sing more sweetly, At the marriage of the Lamb, When the bride is dress'd completely, Fit to celebrate the same;
All our shouts shall then be ringing, Round the throne of God most high;
Till we shall meet in worlds above,
Encircled in eternal love.
3. Farewell my earthly friends below,
Tho' all so kind and dear to me ;
My Jesus calls and must go,
To sound the gospel jubilee.
To sound the joys and hear the news,
To Gentile worlds and royal Jews.
4. Farewell ye people one and all ; WhileGod shall grant me breath to breathe, pray to the eternal all,
That your dear souls in Christ may live
That your dear souls prepar'd may be,
To reign in bliss eternally.
5. Farewell to all below the sun;
And as I pass in tears below,
The path is strait my feet shall run,
And God will keep me as I go :
And God will keep me in his hand,
And bring me to the promis'd land.
6. Farewell, farewell! I look above;
Jesus, my friend, to thee I call:
My joys, my crown, my only love,
My safeguard here, my henly all
My theme to preach, my song to sing,
My only joy till death. Amen.
The SAVIOUR'S Merit.
SAVIOUR, I do feel thy merit,
Sprinkled with redeeming blood, And my weary troubled spirit, Now finds rest with thee my Goth
