Servants of Christ, arise,
See the leaves around us falling,
See what a living stone,

Hymn

[blocks in formation]

Shine forth, Eternal Source of light,
Shine on our souls, Eternal God, .
Since o'er thy footstool here below,
Sing, ye redeemed of the Lord,
Sinner, rouse thee from thy sleep,
Sister, thou wast mild and lovely,.
Slavery and death the cup contains,
So fades the lovely blooming flower,

Soft are the fruitful showers that bring,
Softly fades the twilight ray,.
Softly now the light of day,.
Soldier to the contest pressing,
So let our lips and lives express,
Sometimes a light surprises,

Soon as I heard my Father say, .
Soon will our fleeting hours be past,

Sound the full chorus, let praises ascend,
Sovereign of life, before thine eye,
Sovereign of worlds above,
Sow in the morn thy seed,

Spirit of grace, and help, and power,
Stand up and bless the Lord,

Still in shades of midnight darkness,

Stretched on the cross the Saviour dies,
Suppliant, lo! thy children bend,
Supreme and universal light,

Sweet day! so cool, so calm, so bright,
Sweet is the bliss of souls serene,
Sweet is the friendly voice,

Sweet is the prayer whose holy stream,
Sweet is the scene when virtue dies,
Sweet is the task, O Lord,
Sweet is the time of spring,

Sweet is the work, my God, my King,
Sweet to the soul the parting ray,
Swell the anthem, raise the song,
Talk with us, Lord, thyself reveal,

The hoary frost, the fleecy snow,
The hours of evening close,
The joyful morn, my God, is come,
The King of heaven his table spreads,
The last full wain has come,

The leaves around me falling,.

The long lost son, with streaming eyes,
The Lord descended from above,

The Lord is on his holy throne,

The Lord Jehovah reigns,.

The Lord my pasture shall prepare,
The Lord of glory is my light,

The Lord our God is clothed with might,
The Lord will come and not be slow,
The man in life wherever placed,
The mellow eve is gliding,

The morning dawns upon the place,
The mourners came at break of day,
Theories which thousands cherish,
The past is dark with sin and shame,
The perfect world by Adam trod,
The promises I sing,

The radiant dawn of gospel light,
There is a God, all nature speaks,
There is a hope, a blessed hope,
There is a land mine eye hath seen,
There is a land of pure delight,
There is an hour of peaceful rest,
There is a pure and peaceful wave,
There is a time when moments flow,
There is a world we have not seen,

The wandering star and fleeting wind,
The year begins with promises,
They who seek the throne of grace,
Think gently of the erring,
This child we dedicate to thee,
This day let grateful praise ascend,
This day the Lord hath called his own,
This is the fast the Lord doth choose,
This is the first and great command,
This stone to thee in faith we lay,
Thou art, Almighty, Lord of all,
Thou art gone to the grave,
Thou art, O God, the life and light,

Thou, Lord, by mortal eyes unseen,

Thou, Lord, by strictest search hast known,

Time! what an empty vapor 't is,

[blocks in formation]

Thou fount of love and grace,.

Thou gavest, and we yield to thee,

Thou faint and sick, and worn away,

Though lost to out sight, we may not deplore thee,

Thou God of hope, to thee we bow,

Thou God of truth and love,

Thou must go forth alone, my soul,

Thou power supreme, whose mighty scheme,.

Thou whose wide extended sway,

Thrice happy soul, who, born from heaven,

Through all the changing scenes of life,
Through endless years thou art the same,
Through every age, Eternal God,

[ocr errors]

Through sorrow's night and danger's way,
Through the day thy love has spared us,
Through thee we now together come,
Thus far the Lord has led me on,
Thus saith the first, the great command,
Thus saith the high and lofty One,.

Thus saith the Lord who built the heavens,
Thus shalt thou love th' Almighty Lord,
Th' uplifted eye and bended knee,.
Thy kingdom, Lord, forever stands,
Thy life I read, my dearest Lord,
Thy name be hallowed, evermore,
Thy presence everlasting God,
Thy presence, gracious God, afford,
Thy ways, O Lord, with wise design,
Times without number have I prayed,
Time by moments steals away,

We come our Sabbath hymn to raise,
We come to thee, O God,
We come with joy and gladness,
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 dimns 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 rende, bounteous Lord,
What though no flowers the fig-tree clothe,.......
What though the arm of conquering death,
What though the stream be dead,
When Abraham, full of sacred awe,
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,

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

[blocks in formation]

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,

[ocr errors]

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,

Ye Christian heralds, go proclaim, .

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

Ye sons of earth, arise,

Ye subjects of the Lord, proclaim, .
Yes, we trust the day is breaking,
Ye that obey th' immortal King,

....

Ye trembling souls, dismiss your fears,. . . .
Ye wretched, hungry, starving poor,
Zeal is that pure and heavenly flame,
