Where the mourner weeping
Sheds the secret tear,
He His watch is keeping,
Though none else be near.

2 He will never leave us,

All our wants He knows, Feels the pains that grieve us, Sees our cares and woes: When in grief we languish, He will dry the tear, Who His brethren's anguish Soothes with succour near. 3 All our woe and sadness, In this world below, Balance not the gladness

We in heaven shall know:
Jesus, Holy Saviour,

In the realms above
Crown us with Thy favour,
Fill us with Thy love.

Col. iii. 11.

O EVERLASTING Light,
Shine graciously within;

Brightest of all on earth that's bright,
Come shine away my sin.

O Everlasting Truth,

Truest of all that's true,

Sure guide of erring age or youth,
Lead me, and teach me too.

O Everlasting Strength,
Uphold me in the way;

Bring me, in spite of foes, at length
To joy and light and day.

O Everlasting Love,

Wellspring of grace and peace, Pour down Thy fulness from above, Bid doubt and trouble cease.

O Everlasting Rest,

Lift off life's load of care;

Relieve, revive this burthened breast,
And every sorrow bear.

Thou art in heaven our all,
Our all on earth art Thou;
Upon Thy glorious Name we call,
Lord Jesus, bless us now.

1080 And He arose, and rebuked the

wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still.-Mark iv. 39.

1 FIERCE raged the tempest o'er the deep, Watch did Thine anxious servants keep; But Thou wast wrapped in guileless sleep,

2 "Save, Lord, we perish," was their cry, "O save us in our agony;

Thy word above the storm rose high,
"Peace, be still."

3 The wild winds hushed; the angry deep
Sank, like a little child, to sleep;
The sullen billows ceased to leap,
At Thy will.

4 o, when our life is clouded o'er,
And storm-winds drift us from the shore,
Say, lest we sink to rise no more,
"Peace, be still."

1 WHO walks the waves in wondrous guise, By nature's laws unstayed?

""Tis I," a well-known voice replies, """Tis I, be not afraid."

2 Thus, when the storm of life is high,
Come, Saviour, to my aid;

Come, when no other help is nigh,
And say, "Be not afraid."

3 Speak, and my griefs no more are heard, Speak, and my fears are laid;

Speak, and my soul shall bless the word, ""Tis I, be not afraid."

4 When on the bed of death I lie,
And stretch my hands for aid,
Stand Thou before my closing eye,
And say,
"Be not afraid."

5 Before Thy judgment-seat above,
When nature sinks dismayed,
O cheer me with Thy word of love,
""Tis I, be not afraid."

1082 Jesus went unto them, walking

on the sea.-Matt. xiv. 25.

10 WHERE is He that trod the sea,
O where is He that spake,
And demons from their victims flee,
The dead their slumber break:
The palsied rise in freedom strong,
The dumb men talk and sing,
And from blind eyes, benighted long,
Bright beams of morning spring?
20 where is He that trod the sea?
"Tis only He can save;
To thousands hungering wearily
A wondrous meal He gave:
The Word, Who all the worlds had made,
To His own creatures spake :
"Twas springtide when He blest the bread,
And harvest when He brake.

3 O where is He that trod the sea?
My soul, the Lord is here:
Let all thy fears be hushed in thee

1083 Healing all manner of sickness

and all manner of disease among the people.-Matt. iv. 23.

10 GOD, made manifest in flesh,

We render thanks to Thee,

Thou great Physician, Who hast cleansed A world from leprosy.

2 The Gentile captain comes in faith,
Thou blessest his appeal;

Far off as man, but near as God,
Thou dost his servant heal.

3 Fever and plague obey Thy will,

They are Thy servants, Lord,

The love of Christ constraineth
us.-2 Cor. v. 14.

10 BLESSED Saviour, is Thy love
So great, so full, so free?
Behold, we give our thoughts, our hearts,
Our lives, our all, to Thee.

2 We love Thee for the glorious worth
Which in Thyself we see ;

We love Thee for that Cross of shame
Endured so patiently.

3 No man of greater love can boast
Than for his friend to die;
Thou for Thine enemies wast slain:
What love with Thine can vie?

4 Make us like Thee in meekness, love,
And every beauteous grace;

From glory unto glory changed,
Till we behold Thy face.

L.M. D.

A. C. CoXE.

It cometh at Thy word.

4 Stretch forth Thy hand and heal us, Lord,

In body and in soul;

From sickness, and from taint of sin,

Cleanse us, and make us whole.

1084 For even hereunto were ye called

that ye should follow His steps, Who did no sin.-1 Pet. ii. 21, 22.

1 WHAT grace, O Lord, and beauty shone
Around Thy steps below;
What patient love was seen in all
Thy life and death of woe.

2 For, ever on Thy burdened heart
A weight of sorrow hung;
Yet no ungentle, murmuring word
Escaped Thy silent tongue.

3 Thy foes might hate, despise, revile,
Thy friends unfaithful prove,
Unwearied in forgiveness still,
Thy heart could only love.

4 O give us hearts to love like Thee,
Like Thee, O Lord, to grieve
Far more for others' sins, than all
The wrongs that we receive.

5 One with Thyself, may every eye,
In us, Thy brethren, see

The gentleness and grace that spring
From union, Lord, with Thee.

us an example, that ye should follow His steps.-1 Pet. ií. 21.

1 0 WHO like Thee, so calm, so bright, Lord Jesus Christ, Thou Light of light! O who like Thee did ever go

So patient through a world of woe!
O who like Thee so humbly bore
The scorn, the scoffs of men before;
So meek, so lowly, yet so high,
So glorious in humility!

2 Through all Thy lifelong weary years,
A man of sorrows and of tears,

The cross, where all our sins were laid,
Upon Thy bending shoulders weighed;
And death, that sets the prisoner free,
Was pang and scoff and scorn to Thee;
Yet love through all Thy suffring glowed,
And mercy with Thy lifeblood flowed.

8 O wondrous Lord, our souls would be
Still more and more conformed to Thee;
Would lose the pride, the taint of sin,
That burns these fevered veins within
And learn of Thee, the lowly ONE,
And like Thee, all our journey run,
Above the world, and all its mirth,
Yet weeping still with weeping earth.
Be with us as we onward go;
Illumine all our way of woe;
And grant us ever on the road
To trace Thy footsteps, Son of God:
That when Thou shalt appear, arrayed
In light, to judge the quick and dead,
We may to life immortal soar
Through Thee Who livest evermore.

1087 If I go not away, the Comforter

will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you.-John xvi. 7. 1 OUR blest Redeemer, ere He breathed His tender, last farewell,

A Guide, a Comforter bequeathed
With us to dwell.

2 He came sweet influence to impart,
A gracious, willing guest,

While He can find one humble heart
Wherein to rest.

3 And His that gentle voice we hear,
Soft as the breath of even,

That checks each doubt, that calms each
And speaks of heaven.

4 And every virtue we possess,
And every conquest won,
And every thought of holiness,
Are His alone.

5 Spirit of purity and grace,
Our weakness, pitying, see

O make our hearts Thy dwelling-place, And worthy Thee.

1088 And there appeared unto them

cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.-Acts ii. 3.

1 WHEN God of old came down from heaven, In majesty He came;

Before His feet the clouds were riven,
Half darkness and half flame.

2 But when He came the second time,
He came in peace and love;
Softer than gale at morning prime
Hovered His Holy Dove.

3 The fires that rushed on Sinai down
In udden torrents dread,
Now gently light, a glorious crown,
On every sainted head.

4 And, as on Israel's awestruck ear
The voice exceeding loud,

The trump, that angels quake to hear,
Thrilled from the deep dark cloud;

5 So, when the Spirit of our God

Came down His flock to find,

A voice from heaven was heard abroad,
A rushing mighty wind.

6 It fills the Church of God, it fills
The sinful world around;

Only in stubborn hearts and wills

7 Come Lord, come Wisdom, Love, and
Open our ears to hear;
[Power,

Let us not miss th' accepted hour;
Save, Lord, by love or fear.

The Eternal Spirit.-Heb. ix. 14.

1 HOLY Spirit, Lord of light,
From Thy clear celestial height,
Thy pure beaming radiance give:
Come, Thou Father of the poor,
Come with treasures which endure,
Come, Thou Light of all that live.

2 Thou, of all consolers best,
Visiting the troubled breast,
Dost refreshing peace bestow;
Thou in toil art comfort sweet,
Pleasant coolness in the heat,
Solace in the midst of woe.

3 Light immortal, Light divine,
Visit Thou these hearts of Thine,
And our inmost being fill;
If Thou take Thy grace away,
Nothing pure in man will stay
All his good is turned to ill.

4 Heal our wounds; our strength renew;
On our dryness pour Thy dew;
Wash the stains of sin away;

Bend the stubborn heart and will;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
Guide the steps that go astray.

5 Thou, on those who evermore
Thee confess and Thee adore,
In Thy sevenfold gifts descend;
Give them comfort when they die,
Give them life with Thee on high,
Give them joys that never end.

886.886. E. CASWALL. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.-1 Cor. xii. 4, 5.

10 HOLY Ghost, Thou Fount of light,
Thy blessed radiance puts to flight
The darkness of the mind;

The pure are only pure through Thee;
And Thou the prisoner dost set free,
And cheer with light the blind.

2 Thy grace eternal truth instils,
The ignorant with knowledge fills,
Awakens those who sleep,
Inspires the tongue, informs the eye,
Expands the heart with charity,
And comforts all who weep.

3 Teach us to aim at heaven's high prize, And for its glory to despise

Cleanse ns from sin, direct us right,
Illume us with Thy heavenly light,
Thy peace on us bestow.

4 And as Thou didst in days of old
On the first shepherds of the fold
In tongues of flame descend,
Now also on its pastors shine,
And flood with fire of grace divine
The world from end to end.

5 Lord of all sanctity and might,
Eternal Thou and infinite,

The life of earth and heaven; To Thee the High and Holy One, To Thee, with Father, and with Son, Be praise and glory given.

4 Exalt our low desires,
Extinguish passion's fires,
Heal every wound,
Our stubborn spirits bend,
Our icy coldness end,
Our devious steps attend

While heavenward bound.

5 Come, all the faithful bless:
Let all who Christ confess
His praise employ;
Give virtue's rich reward;
Victorious death accord,
And, with our glorious Lord,
Eternal Joy.

Ghost.-John xiv. 26.

1 HOLY Ghost, with light divine,
Shine upon this heart of mine:
Chase the shades of night away,
Turn the darkness into day.

2 Holy Ghost, with power divine,
Cleanse this guilty heart of mine:
Long has sin, without control,
Held dominion o'er my soul.

3 Holy Ghost, with joy divine,
Cheer this saddened heart of mine:
Bid my many woes depart,
Heal my wounded, bleeding heart.

4 Holy Spirit, all divine,

Dwell within this heart of mine:
Cast down every idol throne;
Reign supreme, and reign alone.

1092 Thy Spirit is good; lead me into

the land of uprightness.-Ps. cxliii. 10.
1 COME, Holy Ghost, in love,
Shed on us from above

Thine own bright ray:
Divinely good Thou art;
Thy sacred gifts impart
To gladden each sad heart:

O come to-day.

2 Come, tend'rest Friend and best, Our most delightful Guest,

With soothing power: Rest, which the weary know, Shade, 'mid the noontide glow, Peace, when deep griefs o'erflow, Cheer us this hour.

3 Come, Light serene and still,
Our inmost bosoms fill;

Dwell in each breast:
We know no dawn but Thine;
Send forth Thy beams divine,
On our dark souls to shine,

I myself would gracious be;
And, with words that help and heal,
Would Thy life in mine reveal;
And, with actions bold and meek,
Would for Christ my Saviour speak.

2 Truthful Spirit, dwell with me-
I myself would truthful be;
And, with wisdom kind and clear,
Let Thy life in mine appear;
And, with actions brotherly,
Speak my Lord's sincerity.

3 Tender Spirit, dwell with me-
I myself would tender be;
Shut my heart up like a flower,
In temptation's darksome hour
Open it when shines the sun,
And His love by fragrance own.
4 Silent Spirit, dwell with me-
I myself would quiet be,

Quiet as the growing blade,

Which through earth its way hath made;
Silently, like morning light,
Putting mists and chills to flight.

5 Mighty Spirit, dwell with me-
I myself would mighty be:
Mighty so as to prevail,

Where unaided man must fail;
Ever, by a mighty hope,
Pressing on and bearing up.

6 Holy Spirit, dwell with me-
I myself would holy be:
Separate from sin, I would

Choose and cherish all things good;
And whatever I can be

Give to Him who gave me Thee.

I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.-Jer. xxxi. 3.

1 MIGHTY Quickener, Spirit blest, Who to life didst wake me, Wilt Thou not become my guest,

Evermore in me abide,
To all truth become my guide,
And for spirits glorified

Meet companion make me.

2 Lord, along this earthly way
Thou Thy pilgrim greetest;
To Thy thankful child each day
Thou Thy love repeatest:
Thou dost bid me weep no more,
Thou dost teach my song to soar,
Thou, from Thine exhaustless store,
Giv'st whate'er is meetest.

3 Here, while yet my race I run,
Thou wilt never leave me:

Of my Shield and of my Sun

What can e'er bereave me?
There, with all the heirs of grace,
Grant me to behold Thy face;
To the bliss of Thine embrace
Evermore receive me.

1 GRACIOUS Spirit, Holy Ghost,
Taught by Thee, we covet most
Of Thy gifts at Pentecost,
Holy, heav'nly love.

2 Love is kind, and suffers long;
Love is meek, and thinks no wrong;
Love, than death itself more strong;
Give us heavenly love.

3 Prophecy will fade away,
Melting in the light of day;
Love will ever with us stay:
Give us heavenly love.

4 Faith will vanish into sight;
Hope be emptied in delight;

Love in heaven will shine more bright
Give us heavenly love.

5 Faith and hope and love we see
Joining hand in hand agree;
But the greatest of the three,
And the best, is love.

6 From the overshadowing
Of Thy gold and silver wing,
Shed on us, who to Thee sing,
Holy, heavenly love.

REPENTANCE AND FAITH.

1097 He shall come down like rain upon

the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.-Ps. lxxii. 6.

1 COME, let us to the Lord our God
With contrite hearts return;
Our God is gracious, nor will leave
The desolate to mourn.

2 His voice commands the tempest forth, And stills the stormy wave;

And though His arm be strong to smite, "Tis also strong to save.

3 The night of sorrow long hath reigned;
The dawn shall bring us light;
God shall appear, and we shall rise
With gladness in His sight.

4 Our hearts, if God we seek to know,
Shall know Him and rejoice;
His coming like the morn shall be,
Like morning songs His voice.

And heart and flesh must fail: We fade away,

Like flowers in scorching sun; We just begin,

And then our work is done.

Shew pity, Lord,

Our souls are sore distressed; As troubled seas,

Our natures have no rest;
