2 Farewell, my dear brethren, farewell for a while, We'll soon meet again, if kind Providence smile: But when we are parted, and scattered abroad, Let us pray for each other, and wrestle with God. 3 Farewell, faithful soldiers, you'll soon be dis charged; The war will be ended, your treasures enlarged; With shouting and singing, though Jordan may roar, We'll enter fair Canaan, and rest evermore. 4 Farewell, ye young converts, who are listed for war, Some trials await you, but Jesus is near : Although you must ravel the dark wilderness, Your Captain's before you, he 'll lead you in peace. 5 The world, and the devil, and hell, all unite; And bold persecution will try you to fright: But Jesus is for you, who's stronger than they ; Let this animate you to march on your way. 6 Farewell, seeking mourners, with sad broken heart, Oh hasten to Jesus, and choose the good part: He's full of compassion, and mighty to save; His arms are extended your souls to receive. ? Farewell, faithful Christians, farewell all around; Perhaps we'll not meet till the trumpet shall sound; To meet you in glory I give you my hand, Our Saviour to praise in the heavenly land. 8 Oh glory, oh glory, oh glory to God! Redemption we have through our Jesus' blood; HYMN 167. L. M. 1 NAREWELL, dear friends, I must be gone, I have no home or stay with you; I'll take my staff and travel on, Farewell, farewell, farewell, My loving friends farewell. 2 Farewell my friends, time rolls along, Nor waits for mortal care or bliss; I leave you here and travel on, 'Till I arrive where Jesus is. 3 Farewell my brethren in the Lord, To you I'm bound in cords of love, Yet we believe his gracious word, That soon we all shall meet above. 4 Farewell old soldiers of the cross, You've struggled long and hard for heav'n, You've counted all things here but dross, Fight on, the crown shall soon be giv'n. 5 Farewell, ye blooming sons of God, Sore conflicts here await for you: Yet dauntless keep the heavenly road, Till Canaan's happy land you view. Fight on, fight on, fight on, The crown shall soon be giv'n. 6 Farewell poor careless sinners too, It grieves my heart to leave you liere ; O turn, O turn, O turn, And find salvation near.. HYMN 168. P. M. 1 FA AREWELL, my dear brethren, I bid you farewell, I'm going to travel the way to excel ; I'm going to travel the wilderness through, Therefore, my dear brethren, I bid you adieu. 2 The thoughts of our parting doth cause me to grieve, So well do I love you, out you I must leave; My Jesus commands, and I must obey, Therefore, my dear brethren, don't grieve after me. 3 May heaven protect you, be Jesus your guide, On the walls of our Žion may you ever abide ; Though we live at a distance, and you I ne'er see, On the banks of sweet Canaan acquainted we'll be. 4 There all things are plenty, and the leaves growing green, And the parting of Christians no more to be seen; No sorrow, no trouble shall enter that place, But there we shall join in a song of free grace. 5 And when we meet Jesus in the mansion above, Where saints and bright angels are feasting on Jove; O then we shall look for each mourner that's here, How glad we shall be to ineet each other there. 6 Farewell to all sorrows, temptation, and pain, I'm going where Jesus for ever doth reign; love. MISCELLANEOUS. HYMN 169, P. M. 1 'Tis thy Saviour, hear his word; Jesus speaks and speaks to thee, Say, poor sinner, "Lov'st thou me ?" 2 “I delivered thee when bound, And when wounded, heal'd thy wound, Turned thy darkness into light. L Yes! she may forgetful be, Yet I will remember thee, Higher than the heights above, Free and faithful strong as death. 5 “ Thou shalt see my glory soon, When the work of grace is done, Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me? 6 Lord it is my chief complaint, That my love is weak and faint: HYMN 170. P. M. F It is “the substance of his hope, His proof of things unseen. It is the anchor of his soul, When tempests rage and billows roll, 2 Faith is the polar star, That guides the Christian's bark; To reach the holy ark; And safely leads the pilgrim home. 3 Faith is the rainbow's form, Hung on the brow of heaven; The pledge of mercy given. Through which the saints to glory march. 4 Faith is the mountain rock, Whose suminit towers on high ; An inmate of the sky. 10 5 The faith that works by love, And purifies the heart, To mortals can impari, HY MN 171. P. M. delight, On whom in affliction I call, My comfort by day, and iny song in the night, My hope, my salvation, my all. 2 Where dost thou at noon-tide resort with thy sheep, To feed on the pastures of love? For why in the valley of death should I weep, Or alone in the wilderness rove? 3 O why should I wander an alien from thee, And cry in the desert for bread: Thy foes will rejoice, when my sorrows they see, And sa le at the tears I have shed. The star that on Israel shone ? And where with his flocks he is gone. 5 This is my beloved, his form is divine, His vestments shed odours around; The locks on his head are as grapes on the vine, When autumn with plenty is crown'd. 6 His lips as a fountain of righteousness flow, Thal waters the garden of grace, From which their salvation the Gentiles shall know, And bask in the smiles of his face. 7 Love sits in his eye Jids, and scatters delight Through all the brighi mansions on high: Their faces the cherubim veil in Duis sight, And tremble with fulness of joy. 8 He looks, and ten thousands of angels rejoice, And myriads wait for the word; |
