INDEX OF FIRST LINES.

Above, below, where'er I gaze,

According to thy gracious word,

Affliction is a stormy deep,

Again our ears have heard the voice,
Again our earthly cares we leave,
Again the Lord of life and light,.

A glance from heaven with sweet effect,
A glory gilds the sacred page,
A holy air is breathing round,.

Ah! wretched souls who strive in vain,
A King shall reign in righteousness,

[ocr errors]

All from the sun's uprise,
All hail the power of Jesus' name,
All hail, ye servants of the Lord,.
All nature dies and lives again,
All nature feels attractive power,
All nature's works his praise declare,
All men are equal in their birth,.
All powerful, self-existent God,
All ye nations, praise the Lord,
Almighty former of creation's plan,
Almighty God, in humble prayer,
Almighty God, thy wondrous works,
Almighty King, whose wondrous hand,
Almighty Maker, Lord of all,
Almighty Lord, before thy throne,
Along my earthly way,
Amazing, beauteous change,
Am I an Israelite indeed,
Am I a soldier of the cross,
Amid surrounding gloom and waste,
Amidst a world of hopes and fears, .
And art thou with us, gracious Lord,
And can my heart aspire so high,
And is the gospel peace and love,
And is there, Lord, a rest,

[ocr errors]

And now, my soul, another year,
Angels! roll the rock away,.
Another day is past,

Another six days' work is done,

Approach not the altar with gloom in thy soul,

Approach, thou blessed of the Lord,
Around Bethesda's healing wave,
Arrayed in clouds of golden light,
As body when the soul has fled,
As bowed by sudden storms, the rose,
As earth's pageant passes by,
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
As in solemn congregation,

As o'er the past my memory strays,
A soldier's course, from battles won,.
As showers on meadows newly mown,
As the evening shadows gather,
As the hart with eager looks,

[ocr errors]

As the sweet flower that scents the morn,
As twilight's gradual veil is spread,

As when the deluge waves were gone,

At God's command the morning ray,
At the portals of thy house,
Auspicious morning, hail,

Author of good, to thee we turn, .

A voice from the desert comes awful and shrill,
Awake, my soul, and with the sun,. . . .
Awake, my soul, lift up thine eyes, .

Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve,. . . . . .

[blocks in formation]

Awake our souls, away our fears,

Baptized into our Saviour's death,

Before Jehovah's awful throne,

Behold the grace appears,

Blest are the humble souls that see,

Begin, my soul, the exalted lay,.
Begin the high celestial strain,
Behold, amid his little flock,
Behold my servant, see him rise,

Behold, on Zion's heavenly shore,
Behold th' amazing sight,

Behold the lofty sky,

Behold the morning sun,

[ocr errors]

Behold the path which mortals tread,
Behold the Prince of Peace,
Behold the Saviour on the cross,
Behold the western evening light,
Behold, what wondrous grace,
Behold where breathing love divine,
Behold where in a mortal form,
Be it my only wisdom here, .
Beneath our feet and o'er our head,
Bereft of all, when hopeless care,
Beset with snares on every hand,
Be thou, O God, exalted high,.
Be with me, Lord, where'er I go,
Beyond, beyond that boundless sea,
Blessed be thy name forever,
Blessed state and happy he,.
Bless, O bless, Almighty Father,
Bless, O Lord, each opening year,.

Blest are the meek, he said,
