326 UNISON. 9: HOBART. S. M. (149) FROM AN ANCIENT CHANT. LIVE to the winds thy fears; Hope, and be undismay'd; God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears; God shall lift up thy head; Through waves, and clouds, and storms, Wait thou his time, so shall this night 2 Still heavy is thy heart? Still sink thy spirits down? Cast off the weight,-let fear depart, What though thou rulest not; Yet heaven, and earth, and hell, Proclaim,-God sitteth on the throne, And ruleth all things well. 3 Leave to his sov'reign sway To choose and to command: So shalt thou, wond'ring, own his way, His counsel shall appear, When fully he the work hath wrought That caused thy needless fear. 724 Spiritual enemies to be encountered. 146-c. ANGELS our march oppose, Who still in strength excel,Our secret, sworn, eternal foes, Countless, invisible; From thrones of glory driven, By flaming vengeance hurl'd, They throng the air, and darken heaven, And rule this lower world. HOW His sins on earth forgiven? 2 What we have felt and seen 3 We who in Christ believe We all his unknown peace receive, 4 Exults our rising soul, 5 His love, surpassing far The love of all beneath, We find within our hearts, and dare The pointless darts of death. 6 Stronger than death or hell The sacred power we prove; 148-a. And, conqu'rors of the world, we dwell In heaven, who dwell in love. E wretched, starving poor, YE Behold a royal feast! Where mercy spreads her bounteous store For every humble guest. 2 See, Christ, with open arms, Invites, and bids you come; ( stay not back, though fear alarms; For yet there still is room. 3 O come, and with us taste The blessings of his love: 4 There, with united voice, Before the' eternal throne, 5 Ten thousand thousand more 980 Hebrew missionaries. ALMIGHTY God of love, Set up the' attracting sign, 148-c. And summon whom thou dost approve 2 From favour'd Abrah'm's seed The new apostles choose, 3 We know it shall be done; 'Tis God's almighty word; All Israel shall the Saviour own, To their first state restored. 4 Send, then, thy servants forth To call the Hebrews home; From east and west, and south and north, 5 With Israel's myriads seal'd, 4 With saints enthroned on high, Thou dost thy Lord proclaim, And still to God salvation cry,— Salvation to the Lamb! 5 O happy, happy soul! In ecstasies of praise, Long as eternal ages roll, Thou seest thy Saviour's face. 6 Redeem'd from earth and pain, Ah! when shall we ascend, And all in Jesus' presence reign With our translated friend? 932 WHI The pilgrim's home. 327 139-b. HILE through this world we roam, Heaven is the Christian pilgrim's home, 2 Thither his soul ascends, There his adoring spirit bends, 3 His freed affections rise, 4 There we our treasure place; 5 Henceforth our converse be 50 INF Infinite grace. NFINITE excellence is thine, Thou glorious Prince of grace! Thy uncreated beauties shine With never-fading rays. 2 Sinners, from earth's remotest end, Come bending at thy feet; To thee their prayers and songs ascend, In thee their wishes meet. 3 Millions of happy spirits live On thy exhaustless store; From thee they all their bliss receive, 4 Thou art their triumph and their joy; They find their all in thee; Thy glories will their tongues employ HANOVER.

O Sun of right-eous-ness, a rise With healing in 9:3 thy wing; To my diseased, my fainting soul, 2 These clouds of pride and sin dispel, By thy all-piercing beam: Lighten mine eyes with faith; my heart 3 My mind, by thy all-quick'ning power, 4 Father, thy long-lost son receive; 5 Eternal, undivided Lord, Co-equal One in Three,- 4 Subsists as in us all one soul; No power can make us twain; And mountains rise, and oceans roll, 5 Present we still in spirit are, While on the wings of faith and prayer We to each other fly. 6 Our life is hid with Christ in God; Our Life shall soon appear, And shed his glory all abroad The hammer of God's Word. 95-b. 328 2 O that we all might now begin 3 Give us ourselves and thee to know, 4 Convince us first of unbelief, 330 LIGHT. S. M. (134) T. HASTINGS. 2 1. 0 thou who art the Light Of all thy saints below, THOU who art the Light Of all thy saints below, That we may worship thee aright, 2 Our rising world obey'd Thy Godhead's high command; And all the heavenly host are sway'd 3 Yet all things made anew 4 O, be thou present now, And make thy mercy known, 5 Then shall we live to thee, 188 Imploring IIis guidance. COME, Spirit, Source of light, Thy grace is unconfined; Dispel the gloomy shades of night, The darkness of the mind. 2 Now to our eyes display 141-a. The truth thy words reveal; Cause us to run the heavenly way, Delighting in thy will. 3 Thy teachings make us know 4 While through this maze we stray, |
