2 Where is the blessedness I knew 3 What peaceful hours I once enjoy'd! 4 Return, O holy Dove, return, I hate the sins that made thee mourn, 5 The dearest idol I have known, Help me to tear it from thy throne, 6 So shall my walk be close with God, So purer light shall mark the road, HYMN 94. Tens and Elevens. The Lord will Provide. Tao' troubles assail, and dangers affright, Though Satan enrages, the wind and the tide, His promise engages, the Lord will provide. 4 His call we obey, like Abraʼm of old, Not knowing our way, but faith makes us bold: For though we are strangers, we have a good guide, And trust in all dangers, the Lord will provide. 5 When Satan appears to stop up our path, And fill us with fears, we triumph by faith; He cannot take from us, though oft he has try'd, This heart-cheering promise, the Lord will provide. 6 He tells us we're weak, our hope is in vain, The good that we seek, we ne'er shall obtain; But when such suggestions our spirits have ply'd, This answers all questions, the Lord will provide. 7 No strength of our own, or goodness we claim, Yet since we have known the Saviour's great name, In this, our strong tow'r, for safety we hide, 8 When life sinks apace, and death is in view, HYMN 95. C. M. Aaron a Type of Christ. EE Aaron, God's anointed priest, In robes, of mystic meaning, drest, 2 The plate of gold, which crowns his brows, His holiness describes ; His breast displays in shining rows, 3 With the atoning blood he stands And clouds of incense from his hands 4 Through him the eye of faith descries 5 He bears the names of all his saints, 6 In him a holiness complete, H HYMN 96. S. M. The Vanity of Balaam's wish. 2 "Oh! let me die, said he, "Found with the faithful few." 3 The force of truth, how great! When enemies confess, None but the righteous, whom they hate, A solid hope possess. 4 But Balaam's wish was vain; His heart was insincere : HYMN 97. L. M. As thy days, so shall thy strength be. FFLICTED saint, to Christ draw near, Thy Saviour's gracious promise hear; His faithful word declares to thee, That as thy days, thy strength shall be. 2 Let not thy heart despond, and say, "How shall I stand the trying day" He has engag'd by firm decree, That as thy days, thy strength shall be. 3 Thy faith is weak, thy foes are strong; And though the conflict should be long, Thy Lord will make the tempter flee; For as thy days, thy strength shall be. 4 Should persecution rage and flame, Still trust in thy Redeemer's name; In fi'ry trials thou shalt see, That as thy days, thy strength shall be. 5 When call'd to bear the weighty cross, Of sore affliction, pain, or loss, Or deep distress, or poverty, Still as thy days, thy strength shall be. And as thy days, thy strength shall be. HYMN 98. C. M. Christ the desire of all Nutions. INFINITE excellence is thine, 2 Sinners from earth's remotest end, To thee their pray'rs and vows ascend, 3 Thy name, as precious ointment shed, On thine exhaustless store; From thee they all their bliss receive, 5 Thou art their triumph and their joy; Thy glories will their tongues employ, |
