HYMN 134. P. M. Thy better portion trace, Towards heaven thy native place. Time will soon the earth remove; To seats prepared above. 2 Rivers to the ocean run Nor stay in all their course; Both speed them to their source. Pants to see his glorious face, To rest in his embrace. While I that course explore ; Solicit me no more : Strangers tarry but a night: We'll rise to glorious light. Press onward to the prize, Soon the Saviour will return, Triumphant through the skies. Happy entrance will be given, HYMN 135. C. M. Thy joys when shall I see? 2 Thy walls are all of precious stone, Most glorious to behold; Thy gates are richly set with pearl, Thy streets are pav'd with gold. My study long have been ; Has never yet been seen. Why should I stay from therce ? What fully's this that I should dread, To die and go from hence ? And cause me to ascend, And sabbaths never end. Him will I go and see; Will soon come afer me. I leave you in God's care; And if I never more see you, Go on, I'll meet you there. 8 When we've been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, HYMN 136. P. M. From doubts and fears it frees us, Rejoicing on we'll go. By Satan sore oppress'd, Thou Capiain's gone before In every trying hour, On that eternal shore. 3 yonder is the glory, It lses but just before you, Of all redeeming love: Surround the throne of love. 4 There in the blooming garden Of Eden, gain'd hy pardon, We will worship the Lamb: HYMN 137. C. M. 1 WEET rivers of redeeming love, Lie just before mine eye ; I'd to those rivers fly; With joy outstrip the wind: And leave the world behind. In anguish pain and smart, When love surrounds my heart; Faith mounts the upper eky, And would rejoice to die! 3 I view the monster death, and smile, Now he has lost his sting; Though Satan rages all the while, I still in triumph sing : SW I hold my Saviour in my arms, And will not let him go; No other good I'll know. My troubles will be o'er, On Canaan's happy shore : In love's unbounded sea; Transporting is to me. And bear me through the sky, Make haste, and bring it nigh: And in thine image shine; And be for ever thine. To my eternal king; I'll make his praises ring; Who died on Cavalry; From endless misery. To praise the Eternal Three: In deep humility: And string the immortal Tyre ; IIYMN 138. P. M. ing o'er ; The wicked cease from troubling, the weary are at rest, And we shall reign with Jesus, eternai ages blest. 2 We shall be like the angels in that immortal throng, And shouting his salvation will be our lasting song; They sing creating-goodness, and we redeeming love, And this shall be our business, in the bright worlds above. 3 This love so freely flowing, it animates our hearts, This love is still abounding, in every place and part; This love can ne'er be ended, though faith and hope should cease, This love can ne'er be bounded, but ever will increase. 4 This love through endless ages, it ever is the same; 'Tis this our heart engages, to love and ser ve the Lamb: Unites us all together, and makes us of one soul, It is the Balm of Gilead, it makes the wounded whole. HYMN 139. P. M. A happy world'above, Built by the God of love; And saints arrayed in white, They dwell with him in light. The God of peace is there, He banishes their care; Their songs are ever new, |
