5 Thus rais'd from death, we live anew; HYMN 20. 1 HOW helpless guilty nature lies, The heart unchang'd can never rise 2 The will perverse, the passions blind, The safe, the narrow way. 3 Can aught beneath a power divine The stubborn will subdue? 'Tis thine, Almighty Saviour, thine 4 'Tis thine the passions to recall, 5 To chase the shades of death away, A beam of heaven, a vital ray, 'Tis thine alone to give. 60 change these wretched hearts of ours, Then shall our passions and our powers, HYMN 21. 1 FATHER, to thee my soul I lift, 2 Mercy and grace are thine alone, 3 Thou all our works in us hast wrought, The praise of every holy thought And righteous word is thine. 4 From thee, through Jesus, we receive In whom we are, and move, and live: (C. M.) (C. M.) HYMN 22. 1 SING, my soul, his wondrous love, 2 Heav'n and earth by him were made, What are we that he should show 3 God, the merciful and good, 4 Sing, my soul, adore his name; (IIL 1.) 8 Behold the Ark of God, 5 And, when the waves of ire The Ark shall ride the sea of fire; Then rest on Zion's hill. HYMN 25. S. M.> 1 I LOVE thy kingdom, Lord, The house of thine abode, The Church our blest Redeemer sav'd With his own precious blood. 2 I love thy Church, O God! Her walls before thee stand, Dear as the apple of thine eye, And graven on thy hand. 3 If e'er to bless thy sons, My voice or hands deny, These hands let useful skill forsake, This voice in silence die. 4 If e'er my heart forget Her welfare, or her wo, 5 For her my tears shall fall; For her my pray'rs ascend; To her my cares and toils be giv'n, 6 Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Jesus, thou Friend divine, Our Saviour and our King, Thy hand from every snare and foe Shall great deliv'rance bring. 8 Sure as thy truth shall last, The brightest glories earth can yield, HYMN 26. Hebrews xii. 18. 22--24. 1 NOT to the terrors of the Lord, The tempest, fire, and smoke; Not to the thunder of that word Which God on Sinai spoke: 2 But we are come to Zion's hill, Where milder words declare his will, 3 Behold th' innumerable host 4 Behold the bless'd assembly there (C. M.) 1 BLEST is the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love: The fellowship of kindred minds 2 Before our Father's throne We pour united prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one; 3 We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. 4 When we at death must part, How keen, how deep the pain! But we shall still be join'd in heart, And hope to meet again. 5 From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign HYMN 28. Psalm cxxii, The Church in Glory, 1 WITH joy shall I behold the day 2 Ev'n now, to my expecting eyes I view her mansions, that contain 3 Thither, from earth's remotest end, There, crown'd with everlasting joy, 4 The King a seat hath there prepar'd, For his eternal Son: His palaces with joy abound; His saints, by him with glory crown'd, Attend and share his throne. 5 Mother of cities! o'er thy head Bright peace, with healing wings outspread, Let me, biest seat! my name behold And bid the world farewell.
