Christian Fellowship.

409.

1. BLEST be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above.

2. Before our Father's throne

We pour our ardent prayers;

Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, Our comforts and our cares.

3. We share our mutual woes; Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear.

4. When we asunder part,

It gives us inward pain;

But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again.

5. This glorious hope revives

Our courage by the way; While each in expectation lives, And longs to see the day.

6. From sorrow, toil, and pain,

And sin, we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.

Vital Union to Christ.

1. DEAR Saviour! we are thine By everlasting bands;

Our names, our hearts, we would resign; Our souls are in thy hands.

2. To thee we still would cleave,
With ever-growing zeal;

If millions tempt us Christ to leave,
Oh! let them ne'er prevail.

3. Thy Spirit shall unite

Our souls to thee, our Head;
Shall form us to thine image bright,
That we thy paths may tread.

4. Death may our souls divide
From these abodes of clay;
But love shall keep us near thy side,
Through all the gloomy way.

5. Since Christ and we are one,

Why should we doubt and fear? If he in heaven hath fixed his throne, He'll fix his members there.

Doxology.

YE angels round the throne, And saints that dwell below, Worship the Father-love the Son, And bless the Spirit, too.

1. THE man is ever blest,

Who shuns the sinner's ways; Among their councils never stands, Nor takes the scorner's place:

2. But makes the law of God,

His study and delight, Amidst the labors of the day,

And watches of the night.

3. He like a tree shall thrive,

With waters near the root: Fresh as the leaf his name shall live, His works are heavenly fruit.

4. Not so th' ungodly race;

They no such blessings find:

Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff
Before the driving wind.

5. How will they bear to stand

Before that judgment seat,

Where all the saints, at Christ's right hand, In full assembly meet.

2. 'Tis his almighty love,

His counsel and his care,

Preserves us safe from sin and death, And every hurtful snare.

3. He will present our souls,

Unblemished and complete, Before the glory of his face,

With joys divinely great.

4. Then all the chosen seed

Shall meet around the throne; Shall bless the conduct of his grace, And make his wonders known.

5. To our Redeemer-God,

Wisdom, with power, belongs; Immortal crowns of majesty,

And everlasting songs.

412. Exhortation to Prayer for the Un converted.

1. AWAKE, awake to prayer,

For souls condemned to die,

That through forgiveness they may share
God's blessing from on high.

2. Awake, awake to prayer!
The promises are plain :
Wrestling in faith and filial fear,
Ye will not plead in vain.

1. For those in bonds as bound with them
To Thee, O God! we pray,
That some celestial, radiant beam
May bring a brighter day.

2. Pity, O Lord! that injured race,
And thy deliverance send;
Grant them the treasures of thy grace,
And bid their bondage end.

3. They sit in darkness, slow to learn
The blessings that they need;
Nor can our anxious thought discern,
How best their cause to plead.

4. All helpless, and without a plan,
We come before thy throne;
We put no confidence in man,
But trust in Thee alone.

5. The means of rescue, and the hour,

Thy mercy will reveal:

Thine is the wisdom, Thine the power;
Teach us to do thy will.

417. Trust in God amid Perils.

1. IN time of fear,
When trouble 's near,
I look to thine abode;
Though helpers fail,
And foes prevail,

I'll put my trust in God.

2. And what is life,

But toil and strife?
What terror has the grave?

Thine arm of power,
In peril's hour,

The trembling soul will save.

3. In darkest skies,

Though storms arise,
I will not be dismayed:
O God of light,

And boundless might,
My soul on thee is stayed!

2. st thou a watch to keep my tongue,
Let not my heart to sin incline;
Sve me from men who practice wrong:
Let me not share their mirth and wine.

3. But let the righteous, when I stray,

Beheld the sire and husband come
Erect and in his perfect mind;

3. No more a weeping wife to mock,

Till all her hopes in anguish end; No more the trembling child to shock, And sink the father in the fiend.

4. Still give us grace, almighty King! Unwavering at our posts to stand, Till grateful to thy shrine we bring The tribute of a ransomed land.

The wounds they make, and heal the mind.

4. But O, redeem me from the snares With which the world surrounds my feet,

Its riches, vanities, and cares,

Its love, its hatred, and deceit.

420. For a Temperance Anniversary. 1. WE praise thee, if one rescued soul, While the past year prolonged its flight,

Turned, shuddering, from the poisonous bowl,

To health, and liberty, and light.

2. We praise thee, if one clouded home, Where broken hearts despairing pined,

10.

1. COMPLETE in Thee, no work of mine May take, dear Lord, the place of thine Thy blood has pardon bought for me, And I am now complete in Thee.

2. Complete in Thee-no more shall sin Thy grace has conquered, reign within; Thy voice will bid the tempter flee, And I shall stand complete in Thee. 3. Complete in Thee-each want supplied, And no good thing to me denied, Since thou my portion, Lord, wilt be, I ask no more complete in Thee. 4. Dear Saviour, when, before thy bar All tribes and tongues assembled are, Among thy chosen may I be

At thy right hand-complete in Thee.
