217. L. M. MONTGOMERY. Preparation for Heaven. 1 HEAVEN is a place of rest from sin ; 2 Clean hearts, O God, in us create; 3 In Jesus' footsteps may we tread, 218. C. M. Doddridge. Near Approach of Salvation. 1 AWAKE, ye saints, and raise your eyes, 2 On all the wings of time it flies; 3 Not many years their round shall run, Not many mornings rise, Ere all its glories stand revealed 4 Ye wheels of nature, speed your course; Ye mortal powers, decay; Fast as ye bring the night of death, The Hope of Heaven our Support in Trials. 1 WHEN I can read my title clear To mansions in the skies, I bid farewell to every fear, And wipe my weeping eyes. 2 Let cares, like a wild deluge, come, And storms of sorrow fall; May I but safely reach my home, 3 There shall I bathe my weary soul 220.
