HYMNS OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE.

They can to their Ark repair,
And enjoy it ever there.

3 Happy souls! their praises flow
Even in this vale of woe;
Waters in the desert rise,

Manna feeds them from the skies;
On they go from strength to strength,
Till they reach Thy throne at length,
At Thy feet adoring fall,

Who hast led them safe through all.
4 Lord, be mine this prize to win;
Guide me through a world of sin:
Keep me by Thy saving grace;
Give me at Thy side a place:
Sun and shield alike Thou art;
Guide and guard my erring heart.
Grace and glory flow from Thee;
Shower, O shower them, Lord, on me!

Show the brightness of Thy face;
Shine upon us, Saviour, shine,
Fill Thy Church with light divine;
And Thy saving health extend
Unto earth's remotest end.

2 Let the people praise Thee, Lord;
Be by all that live adored;
Let the nations shout and sing
Glory to their Saviour King;
At Thy feet their tribute pay,
And Thy holy will obey.

BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne,

Ye nations, bow with sacred joy;
Know that the Lord is God alone,
He can create, and He destroy.

2 His sovereign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and formed us men;
And when like wandering sheep we strayed,
He brought us to His fold again.

3 We'll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs,
High as the heavens our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise.

4 Wide as the world is Thy command,
Vast as eternity Thy love;

78.

Firm as a-rock Thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.

1 APPROACH, my soul, the mercy-seat,

Where Jesus answers prayer;

79.

There humbly fall before His feet,
For none can perish there.

2 Thy promise is my only plea,
With this I venture nigh;

Thou callest burdened souls to Thee,

And such, O Lord, am I.

3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin, By Satan sorely prest,

By war without, and fears within,
I come to Thee for rest.

4 Be Thou my shield and hiding-place,

I

That, sheltered near Thy side,

may my fierce accuser face,

And tell him Thou hast died.

5 O wondrous love! to bleed and die, To bear the cross and shame,

That guilty sinners such as I

Might plead Thy gracious name!

Downward through his garments stole,
Spreading odour o'er the whole,
So from our High Priest above
To His Church flows heavenly love.

3 Gently as the dews distil

Down on Sion's holy hill,

Dropping gladness where they fall,
Brightening and refreshing all;
Such is Christian union, shed
Through the members from the Head.

4 Where divine affection lives,

There, the Lord His blessing gives;
There on earth His will is done,
There His heaven is half begun:
Lord, our great example prove,
Teach us all like Thee to love.

O Saviour, with protecting care
Return to this Thy house of prayer,
Assembled in Thy sacred name,

Where we Thy parting promise claim. Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest!

But chiefest, in our cleansèd breast, Eternal, bid Thy Spirit rest; And make our secret soul to be A temple pure, and worthy Thee. Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest!

So, in the last and dreadful day, When earth and heaven shall melt away, Thy flock, redeemed from sinful stain, Shall swell the sound of praise again. Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest!

PENITENCE.

5 Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve!
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come!

6 Just as I am (Thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down),
Now to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come!

7 Just as I am, of that free love

The breadth, length, depth, and height to prove,

Here for a season, then above,

O Lamb of God, I come!

2 Not the labours of my hands
Can fulfil Thy law's demands:
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears for ever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.

3 Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling: Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless, look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain flyWash me, Saviour, or I die.

4 While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyelids close in death, When I soar through tracts unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment-throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

OCK of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in Thee.

6 line 7s.

Let me hide myself in Thee;

Let the water and the blood,

From Thy riven side which flowed,

Be of sin the double cure,

Cleanse me from its guilt and power.

Tune-Zurich, 288.

"Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory."

OT in anything we do,

NOT

Thought that's pure, or word that's
true,

Saviour, would we put our trust:
Frail as vapour, vile as dust,
All that flatters we disown:
Righteousness is Thine alone,
