9:4

1. PILGRIMS in this vale of sorrow, Pressing onward t'ward the prize, Strength and comfort here we borrow From the Hand that rules the skies. 2. 'Mid these scenes of self-denial,

We are called the race to run; We must meet full many a trial

Ere the victor's crown is won. 3. Love shall every conflict lighten, Hope shall urge us swifter on, Faith shall every prospect brighten, Till the light of heaven shall dawn. 4. On th' Eternal arm reclining,

We at length shall win the day: All the powers of earth combining, Shall not snatch our crown away.

398. Prayer for comforting Influences. 1. HOLY GHOST! dispel our sadness,

Pierce the clouds of nature's night; Come, thou Source of joy and gladness! Breathe thy life, and spread thy light.

2. Author of our new creation!

Bid us all thine influence prove; Make our souls thy habitation, Shed abroad the Saviour's love.

399. "Am I my brother's keeper ?" GEN. iv. 9.

1. BLESSED angels, high in heaven
O'er the penitent rejoice;
Hast thou for thy brother striven
With an importuning voice?

2. Art thou not thy brother's keeper?
Canst thou not his soul obtain?
He that wakes his brother sleeper
Double light himself shall gain.

3. Ah! how many may be given

To that during, fiery lake,
Who had found a place in heaven

Had'st thou toiled for Jesus' sake.

4. Think how words in season spoken,
In the sinful heart sink deep,
And the first link may have broken
Of the chains that round him creep.

5. Think of that day when each brother
To his brother shall be known:
If thy prayers have saved another,
God will then thy service own.

6. Then, when ends this life's short fever,
They, who many turn to God,
Like the stars shall shine for ever,
A bright, eternal brotherhood!

1. God is

401. Divine Wisdom and Goodness.

1. GOD is love; his mercy brightens

All the path in which we rove;
Bliss he wakes, and woe he lightens;
God is wisdom, God is love.

2. Chance and change are busy ever;
Man decays, and ages move;
But his mercy waneth never;
God is wisdom, God is love.

3. E'en the hour that darkest seemeth
Will his changeless goodness prove;
From the gloom his brightness streameth,
God is wisdom, God is love.

4. He with earthly cares entwineth Hope and comfort from above; Every where his glory shineth; God is wisdom, God is love.

Doxology.

1. PRAISE the God of all creation; Praise the Father's boundless love; Praise the Lamb, our expiation; Praise the Spirit from above:

2. Praise the Fountain of salvation, Him by whom our spirits live; Undivided adoration

To the one Jehovah give.

HASTINGS

9:

1. MAKE haste, O man, to live,

For thou so soon must die;

Time hurries past thee like the breeze;
How swift its moments fly!

2. To breathe, and wake, and sleep,
To smile, to sigh, to grieve,
To move in idleness through earth-
This, this is not to live.

3. Make haste, O man, to do

Whatever must be done; Thou hast no time to lose in sloth,

Thy day will soon be gone.

4. Up, then, with speed, and work;
Fling ease and self away-
This is no time for thee to sleep-
Up, watch, and work and pray!

3. See-Salem's golden spires,
In beauteous prospect, rise;
And brighter crowns than mortals wear,
Which sparkle through the skies.

1. How beauteous are their feet

Who stand on Zion's hill!

Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal.

2. How charming is their voice!

How sweet their tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Saviour King;

He reigns and triumphs here."

3. How happy are our ears,

That hear this joyful sound!
Which kings and prophets waited for,
And sought, but never found.
4. How blessed are our eyes,

That see this heavenly light!
Prophets and kings desired it long,
But died without the sight.
5. The watchmen join their voice,
And tuneful notes employ;
Jerusalem breaks forth in songs,

And deserts learn the joy.

6. The Lord makes bare his arm Through all the earth abroad; Let every nation now behold

Their Saviour and their God.

406. Christian Watchfulness.
1. A CHARGE to keep I have,
A God to glorify;

A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky:-

My calling to fulfill

Oh! may it all my powers engage

To do my Master's will.

3. Arm me with jealous care,

As in thy sight to live;

And oh! thy servant, Lord! prepare
A strict account to give.

4. Help me to watch and pray,
And on thyself rely-

Assured, if I my trust betray,
I shall for ever die.

407. And when they had sung a hymn they went out.-Matth. xxvi. 30.

1. A PARTING hymn we sing,
Around thy table, Lord,
Again our grateful tribute bring,

Our solemn vows record.
2. Here have we seen thy face,
And felt thy presence here,
So may the savor of thy grace

In word and life appear.
3. The purchase of thy blood-
By sin no longer led-
The path our dear Redeemer trod
May we rejoicing tread.

4. In self-forgetting love

Be Christian union shown,

Until we join the church above,
And know as we are known.
