My guilty conscience seeks,

No sacrifice beside :

His powerful blood did once atone,

And now it pleads before the throne.

My dear Almighty Lord,

My Conqueror and my King,
Thy sceptre and Thy sword,

Thy reigning grace I sing:
Thine is the power: behold I sit
In willing bonds before Thy feet.

Tune-Winchester, 177.

My soul doth magnify the Lord."
FOR a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer's praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace!

2 My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,

To spread, through all the earth abroad,
The honours of Thy name.

3 Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
"Tis music in the sinner's ears-

"Tis life, and health, and peace.

4 He speaks, and, listening to His voice, New life the dead receive;

The mournful, broken hearts rejoice;
The humble poor believe.

C.M.

Ye weary spirits, rest;

L.M.

Ye mournful souls, be glad:

The year of Jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

3 Extol the Lamb of God,
The all-atoning Lamb;
Redemption in His blood
Throughout the world proclaim:
The year of Jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.

"The Lord reigneth, let the earth rejoice." Lord is King! lift up thy voice, O earth, and all ye heavens, rejoice! From world to world the joy shall ring, The Lord Omnipotent is King.

2 The Lord is King! who then shall dare Resist His will, distrust His care, Or murmur at His wise decrees,

Or doubt His royal promises?

3 The Lord is King! Child of the dust,
The Judge of all the earth is just:
Holy and true are all His ways:
Let every creature speak His praise.

4 He reigns! ye saints, exalt your strains;
Your God is King, your Father reigns;
And He is at the Father's side,
The Man of love, the Crucified.

5 Come, make your wants, your burdens known, He will present them at the throne;

And angel-bands are waiting there,
His messages of love to bear.

6 Alike pervaded by His eye,
All parts of His dominion lie;

This world of ours, and worlds unseen;
And thin the boundary between.

7 One Lord, one empire, all secures;

He reigns, and life and death are yours: Through earth and heaven one song shall ring, The Lord Omnipotent is King.

be the tie that binds

Our hearts in Christian love;

The fellowship of kindred minds

Is like to that above.

Before our Father's throne

We pour our ardent prayers:

Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,

Our comforts and our cares.

Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul; thy best, thy heavenly
Friend

Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

2 Be still, my soul; thy God doth undertake To guide the future as He has the past: Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake; All now mysterious shall be bright at last. Be still, my soul; the waves and winds shall know

His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.

3 Be still, my soul; when dearest friends depart,
And all is darkened in the vale of tears,
Then thou shalt better know His love, His
heart,

Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears.
Be still, my soul; thy Jesus can repay
From His own fulness all He takes away.

4 Be still, my soul; the hour is hastening on When we shall be for ever with the Lord; When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,

Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.

Be still, my soul; when change and tears are past,

All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

"To me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."

1 L

ORD, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;

To love and serve Thee is my share,
And this Thy grace must give.

2 If life be long, I will be glad,
That I may long obey;

If short, yet why should I be sad
To soar to endless day?

3 Would I long bear my heavy load,
And keep my sorrows long?
Would I long sin against my God,
And His dear mercy wrong?

4 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than He went through before;
He that unto God's kingdom comes
Must enter by this door.

C.M.

5 Come, Lord, when grace hath made me meet Thy blessed face to see;

For if Thy work on earth be sweet,
What will Thy glory be!

6 Then I shall end my sad complaints,
And weary sinful days,

And join with the triumphant saints
That sing Jehovah's praise.

7 My knowledge of that life is small,

The eye of faith is dim;

But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with Him.
