And when from death I'm free, I'll sing and joy ful be; HYMN 203. P. M. They mount on wings above, Because they're fill'd with love. They fly from every evil, They trust in God alone, They long to get to heaven, Their most desired home. Beset them on each hand, Debar them from that land; Come follow, follow me, And gain your liberty. The Saviour now inquires, And just are going to rise ; In that bright world of joy, There's nothing to annoy. When all the saints get home, Our most desired home- While here below I stay; I'll watch and try to pray. HYMN 264. P. M. 1 A FOUNTAIN in Jesus which runs always For washing and cleansing such sinners as we; Our sins, though like crimson, made white as the wool, No lack in the fountain, but always is full. 2 Alf things are now ready, he invites us to come The supper is made by the Father and Son; Rich bounties, rich dainties, here we may receive A living for ever, if we will believe. 3 The guests which were bidden, refused the call, For they were not ready nor willing at all, their store, For a feast that was given and made for the poor. 4 If they are not ready and wish to delay, My house shall be filled, the Father doth say: The highways and hedges, the halt and the blind, Shall come and be welcome, the supper is mine. 5 He decks us with jewels, and rings of rich kind, A garment not woven, but richly refind: Redeemed by Jesus, made heirs with the King, A plan of the Father in glory to sing, HYMN 205. S. M. WAKE, and sing the song To praise the Saviour's name. 2 Sing of his dying love; Sing of his rising pow'r; For those whose sins he bore. 3 Sing, till we feel our heart Ascending with our tongue; And grace inspire our song. 4 Sing on your heav'nly way, Ye ransom'd sinners, sing; In Christ, th' eternal King. " Ye blessed children come;" Soon will he call us hence away, And take his wand'rers home. A 6 Soon shall our raptur'd tongue His endless praise proclaim; HYMN 266. P. M. The Preacher's Adieu. 1 Reluctant I give you my hand, No more to assemble with you, Till we on mount Zion shall stand. My heart swells with tender regret, To leave your embraces so soon, - Though heaven my course must direct, And others succeed in my room. 2 Your acts of benevolence past, Your gentle compassionate love, Henceforth in my mem'ry shall last, Though far from your sight I remove. While roving the wilds of the west, When through foreign regions I steer, Still friendship inspiring my breast, Shall then drop her own native tear. 3 Our labours will shortly subside, For vigour and life must decay, But wisdoin and truth shail abide, To pilot our souls on the way. 1 As time rolls his seasons around, And truth shall new teachers inspire, O may we in love still abound, And after new conquests aspire. 4 Our seasons of converse are o'er, Till mortal commotions are past Till nature and time are no more, Or we are in Paradise blest. Sweet comforting spirit draw near, And shed forth thy luminous rays, My parting reflections to cheer, And change lamentations to praise. 5 O may we conform to his will, Aspiring for glory and peace, Our covenant vows to fulfil, Till Jesus shall sign our release.. AN Till suddenly wasted above, Where saints in sweet harmony meet, *To feel all the pleasures of love, And each happy conqueror greet. HYMN 267. P. M Sweet Home. 1 34. Iwander through earth, its gay pleasures to trace; Ilome, home, sweet, sweet home, O Saviour ! direct me to heaven my home. They bloom for a season, but soon they decay: Home, home, sweet, sweet home, The saints in those mansions are ever at home. 3 Ailure me no longer, ye false gloving charms! The Saviour invites me, I'll go to his armis; Rome, home, sweet, sweet home, O Jesus, conduct me to heaven my home! While Jesus, and heaven, and glory I view; Iloine, home, sweet, sweet home, O when shall I share the fruition of home! 5 The days of my exile are passing away, The time is approaching, when Jesus will say, throne, Home, home, sweet, sweet home, O there I shall rest with the Saviour at home. 6 AMiction, and sorrow, and death shall be o'er The saints shall unite to be parted no more, PEN There loud hallelujahs fill heaven's high dome, Home, home, sweet, sweet home, HYMN 258. P. M. 1 TVHEN by sin overwhelm'd, shame covers ou face, Prayer, sweet prayer, When patience is weary, or sunk into wo, Prayer, sweet prayer, In all our distresses, there's nothing like prayer. 3 When God we approach, through the Son of his love, Both his mercy and truth we know we shall prove; For our comfort and peace, his arm is made bare, And his grace we receive, in answer to prayer: Prayer, sweet prayer, Be it ever so humble, there's nothing like prayer. 4 Holy Spirit of truth,-'tis thine to inspire, The faith that enkindles the spark of desire! Which cleanses the heart and perfumes all the air, With the odourofincense, ascending from prayer Praver, sweet prayer, In all acis of devotion, there's nothing like prayer! ! 5 When sickness assails, and to death we draw near, We'll face the grim monster, divested of fear, In Jesus's love, we shall have a full share, While the flame is kept bright in answer to prayer; Prayer, sweet prayer, Both in life and in death there's nothing like prayer |
