% I long to see the Christians joili

In union sweet, and peace divine,
When every church with grace shall shine,
And grow to Christ, the living vine,

And give to Jesus glory.
3 Come, par nts, children, bond and free,

Come, will you go to heaven with me,
That glorious land of rest to see,
And shout with me eternally,

And give to Jesus glory?
4 My soul feels happy while I sing :

I feel that I am on the wing:
I'll shout salvation to my king,
"Till I to heaven my trophies bring,

And there we 'll give him glory. 5 A few more days of pain and wo,

A few more suffering scenes below,
And then to Jesus we shall go,
Where everlasting pleasures flow,

And there we 'll give him glory.
The awful trumpet soon will sound,
And shake the vast creation round,
And call the nations under ground;
And all the saints shall then be crown'd,

And give to Jesus glory.
7 Ten thousand thunders then shall roll,

And shake the globe from pole to pole ;
How dreadful to the guilty soul !
But nothing shall the saints control,

They 'll give to Jesus glory.
8 Then tears shall all be wiped away;

Then Christians ne'er shall go astray; When we are freed from cumb'rous clay, We'll praise the Lord in endless day,

And give to Jesus glory.
9 There all the saints shall join in one,

And sing with Moses round the throne ;
Their troubles are for ever gone,
They 'll shine with God's eternal Son,

And give to Jesus glory.

saints, Their groans affect his ears; He has a book for their complaints,

A bottle for their tears. 2 The Lord can clear the darkest skies,

Can give us day for night,
Make drops of sacred sorrow rise

To rivers of delight.
Let those who sow in sadness, wait

'Till the fair harvest come;
They shall confess their sheaves are great
And shout the blessing home.

I WHEN languor and disease invnde

This trembling house of clay, 'Tis sweet to look beyond my pains,

And long to fly away.
2 Sweet to look inward, and attend

The whispers of thy love;
Sweet to look upwards to the place

Where Jesus pleads above.
3 Sweet to look back, and see my name

In life's fair book set down; Sweet to look forward, and behold

Eternal joy: my own.
4 Sweet to reflect how grace divine

My sins on Jesus laud;
Sweet to remember that his blood

My debt of sufforing paid.
5 Sweet in his righteousness to stand,

Which saves from second death; Sweet to experience day by day,

His Spirit's quick’ning breath. 6 Sweet in his faithfulness to rest,

Whose love can never end;

Sweet on his covenant of grace

For all things to depend.
7 If such the sweetness of the streams,

What must the fountain be,
Where saints and angels draw their bliss
Immediately from thee!

My grace all-sufficient shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee, I only design

Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine. 6 “E'en down to old age, all my people shall prove

IN
N all my Lord's appointed ways

My journey I'll pursue:
Hinder me not, ye much lov'd saints,

For I must go with you.
2 Through floods and flames, if Jesus leads,

I'll follow where he goes; Hinder me not, shall be my cry,

Though earth and hell oppose. 3 Through duty and through trials too,

I'll go at his command; Hinder me not, for I am bound

To my Immanuel's land. 4 And when my Saviour calls me home,

Still this my cry shall be, “Hinder me not, come, welcome death, I'll gladly go with thee."

Wiih Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm. 2 Though dark be my way, since he is my guide,

"Tis inine to obey, 'tis his to provide; Though cisterns be broken, and creatures all fail,

The word he has spoken will surely prevail. 3 His love in time past forbids me to think

He'll leave me at last in trouble to sink;
Each sweet Ebenezer I have in review,
Confirms his good pleasure to bring me quite

through.
4 Since all that I meet shall work for my good,

The bitter is sweet, the med'cine is food, Though painful at present, 'twill cease before
