Hymn

We come our Sabbath hymn to raise,

759

We come to thee, O God,.

818

We come with joy and gladness,

755

We gather in the name of God,
We have met in peace together,.
Welcome, delightful morn,
Welcome, sweet day of rest,
We long to see that happy time,
We mourn for those who toil,.
We praise thee if one rescued soul,
Were not the sinful Mary's tears,
Whatever dims thy sense of truth,
What glorious tidings do I hear,
What if the little rain should say,
What must it be to dwell above,
What secret hand at morning light,
What shall we rendei, bounteous Lord,
What though no flowers the fig-tree clothe,
What though the arm of conquering death, .

When, as returns this solemn day,
When before thy throne we kneel,.
When bending o'er the brink of life,
When brighter suns and milder skies,
When called, O Lord, to mourn the doom,
When children give their hearts to God,
When darkness long has veiled my mind,
When dread misfortune's tempests rise,
Whene'er the clouds of sorrow roll,
When fainting in the sultry waste,
When floating on life's troubled sea,

When gloomy thoughts and boding fears,
When God descends with men to dwell,
When God revealed his gracious name,
When grief and anguish press me down,
When his salvation bringing,
When human hopes and joys depart,
When I can read my title clear,

While sounds of war are heard around,
While thee I seek, Protecting Power,

While through this changing world we roam,.
While thus thy throne of grace we seek,
While yet the youthful spirit bears,
While with ceaseless course the sun,
Who is my neighbor? he whom thou,"
Who shall a temple build for him,
Who shall towards thy chosen seat,
Why do we mourn departed friends,
Why on the bending willows hung,
Why should we start and fear to die,
Why weep for those, frail child of woe,
Wide as his vast dominion lies,
With grateful hearts, with joyful tongues,
Within thy house, O Lord, our God,
With sacred joy we lift our eyes,
With songs and honors sounding loud,
With stately towers and bulwarks strong,
With thy pure dews and rains,
Would you behold the works of God,
Ye boundless realms of joy,

[ocr errors]

Ye Christian heralds, go proclaim,.

Ye followers of the Prince of peace,
Ye realms below the skies,
Ye servants of the Lord,
