HYMN 237. L. M. Night. "THEE in the watches of the night, Do I not, Lord, remember still, And meditate, with calın delight, On the dear counsels of thy will ? 2 Thy will is my perfection here ; ; And saghs for this my whole desire ; HYMN 233. C. M. Before a Journey. 1 FORTH at they calls , Gh. Lord, I go, 'Tis all my business here below Father, to do thy will. 2 To do thy will while here I make My short unfix'd abode; An everlasting home I seek, A city built by God. The land of proinised ease, This howling wilderness! For whom alone I sigh ; HYMN 239. C. M. On a Journey. SAXLOR, who ready art to hear, Answer my scarcely uttered prayer, And meet me on the way. HYMN 240. C. M. After a Journey. 1 THO: Sond, bast blessed my going out, Compass my weakness round about, And keep me safe from sin. Thy tabernacle spread; And guard my naked head. 3 To thee for refuge may I run, From sin's alluring snare, And watching unto prayer. 4 O that I never, never more Might from thy ways depart! Here let me give my wanderings o'er By giving thee my heart. And then from strife release : HYMN 241. C. M. The sorrowful Pilgrim. Whose eyes all day o'erflow, The night for farther wee: Thy solemn moments spend, That pain, with life, shall end. My comforter is gone; o that I ne'er had known! Is withered o'er my head, To sink among the dead. If God my sins forgive, I there, redeemed, shall live: No serpent to deceive me, No sin to stain my thought, No loss, or wrong io grieve me, Where all things are forgot. 4 No heart-distracting passion Is there to break my peace; But joy without cessation, And love without excess : Of Paradise secure, I shall no longer inourn; The bliss is full and sure, The rose wiihout a thorn. 5 In hope of that salvation, I feel a moment's rest: The calm of expectation Has stole into my breast; I struggle to be gone, IIYMN 242. P. M. thy heart, Lest the gist ensrare thee from thy God to part; !Iis favour seek, his praises speak, Fix here thy hope's foundation; The Rock of thy salvation. And calin thy perturbation : The Rock of thy salvation. 3 When earth's prospects fail thee, let it not dis. tress, Better comforts with thee; Christ will treely bless ; Thy heavenly consolation: The Rock of thy salvation in ; 4 Dangers may approach thee, let them not alarm, *Christ will ever watch thee, and protect from harm, To ware ofl' each temptation: The Rock of thy salvation. 5 Let not death alarm thee, shrink not from his blow, For thy Goil shall arm thee, and victory bestow, For death shall bring to thee no sting, The grave no desolation : HYMN 213. C. M. D. And bids the world adieu ; And loath to let him go; And leaves them all below! To cross the swelling flood ? And see your smiling God: Attract my soul above; When perfected in love. l'm bound to meet you there; Be bold, and never fear: (Your Captain is in view;) I hope to meet with you. Now let the echo fly; While they repeat the song above, Through armies in the sky. Who died for you and me! And shout eternally. Until we meet again, Above the fiery main; In presence of the Lamb, HYMN 214. L. M. 1 Bleeding to death for wretched me, Satan and sin no more can move, For I am all transform'd to love. 2 His thorns and nails pierce through my heart; In every groan I bear a part; But see! he bows his head and dies! Wounded, and dead, and bathed in-bl od The well of endless life is here. I drink, yet still my thirst remains: Can satisfy the thirst of love. Lord, more and more thy love reveal; The grace and glory of thy name. Revives my heart, and charms my ear; |
