Song 1
verse 1
Or all the
gifts Thy love bestows,
Thou Giver of
all good,
Not heaven
itself a richer knows
Than the Redeemer's
blood.
Song 1
verse 2
Faith too that
trusts the blood through grace
From that same
love we gain ;
Else, sweetly
as it suits our case,
The gift had
been in vain.
Song 1
verse 3
We praise Thee,
and would praise Thee more ;
To Thee our all
we owe ;
The precious
Saviour, and the power
That makes Him
precious too.
Song 2
verse 1
'Twas Thy love,
O God, that knew us
Earth's
foundation long before ;
That same love
to Jesus drew us
By its sweet
constraining power,
And will keep
us, and will keep us
Safely now, and
evermore.
Song 2
verse 2
God of love,
our souls adore Thee ;
We would still
Thy grace proclaim,
Till we cast
our crowns before Thee,
And in glory
praise Thy name ;
Praise and
worship, praise and worship
Be to God and
to the Lamb.
Song 3
verse 1
O God, we see
Thee in the Lamb
To be our hope,
our joy, our rest ;
The glories
that compose Thy name
Standing engaged
to make us blest.
Song 3
verse 2
Thou great and
good ! Thou just and wise !
Hail, as our
Father and our God,
For we are
Thine by sacred ties,
Thy sons and
daughters – bought with blood.
Song 3
verse 3
Then, oh, to us
this grace afford,
That far from
Thee we ne'er may move ;
Our guard – the
presence of the Lord ;
Our joy – Thy
perfect present love.
Song 3
verse 4
This gives us
ever to rejoice,
Turning to
light our darkest days ;
And lifts on
high each feeble voice,
While we have
breath to pray or praise.
Song 4
verse 1
Ere God had
built the mountains,
Or raised the
fruitful hills,
Be-fore He
filled the fountains
That feed the
running hills,
In Thee from
everlasting,
The wonderful I
AM
Found pleasures
never wasting,
And Wisdom is
Thy name.
Song 4
verse 2
When like a
tent to dwell in,
He spread the
skies abroad,
And swathed
about the swelling
Of ocean's
mighty flood,
He wrought by
weight and measure ;
And Thou wast
with Him then,
Thyself the
Father's pleasure,
And Thine, the
sons of men.
Song 4
verse 3
And couldst
Thou be delighted
With creatures
such as we,
Who, when we
saw Thee, slighted,
And nailed Thee
to the tree ?
Unfathomable
wonder,
And mystery
divine !
The voice that
speaks in thunder,
Says,
"Sinner I am thine".
Song 4
verse 4
And art Thou,
Lord, delighted
To call us now
Thine own —
The love no
longer slighted
Which Thou to
us hast shown ?
Oh, way of
purposed blessing
In death told
out to man !
The fruit we're
now possessing,
Of Wisdom's
wondrous plan.
Song 5
verse 1
Unto Him who
loves us gave us
Every pledge
that love could give,
Freely shed His
blood to save us,
Gave His life
that we might live,
Be the kingdom
And dominion,
And the glory
evermore.
Song 6
verse 1
Jesus — how
much Thy name unfolds
To every opened
ear ;
The pardoned
sinner's memory holds
None other half
so dear.
Song 6
verse 2
Thy name
encircles every grace
That God as man
could show ;
There only
could He fully trace
A life divine
below.
Song 6
verse 3
Jesus — it
speaks a life of love,
Of sorrows
meekly borne ;
It tells of
sympathy above,
Whatever makes
us mourn.
Song 6
verse 4
Jesus, the One
who knew no sin,
Made sin to
make us just ;
Thou gavest
Thyself our love to win,
Our full
confiding trust.
Song 6
verse 5
The mention of
Thy name shall bow
Our hearts to
worship Thee ;
The chiefest of
ten thousand Thou,
Whose love has
set us free.
Song 7
verse 1
Thy grace, O
Lord, that measured once the deep
Of Calvary's
woe, to seek and save Thy sheep,
Has touched our
hearts and made them long for Thee,
Thyself our
treasure and our all to be.
Song 7
verse 2
Thy glory,
Lord, at God's right hand above,
Supreme of all
in that blest scene of love,
In sonship
tells our hearts their wondrous place,
In Thee
accepted by the Father's grace.
Song 7
verse 3
Thy fullness,
Lord, of light and love divine,
No thought can
grasp, nor human mind define
The whole vast
scene of glory will display
That fullness
in a quickly-coming day.
Song 7
verse 4
When all things
filled by Thee are wholly blest.
And God's deep
love eternally shall rest
In that which
ever speaks to Him of Thee,
Thy greatness,
Lord, the universe shall see.
Song 7
verse 5
Thy beauties,
Lord, Thy holy precious worth,
Surpassing far
the deepest joys of earth,
Attract our
hearts our joy Thy constant love
Thyself our
object in those scenes above.
Song 8
verse 1
O Lord, we
adore Thee,
For Thou art
the slain One
That livest forever,
Enthroned in
heaven ;
O Lord, we
adore Thee,
For Thou hast
re deemed us ;
Our title to
glory
We read in Thy
blood.
Song 8
verse 2
O God, we
acknowledge
Thy greatness,
Thy glory,
For of Thee are
all things
On earth and in
heaven ;
How rich is Thy
mercy,
How great Thy
salvation !
We bless Thee,
we praise Thee,
Amen, and Amen.
Song 9 verse
1
Father, we Thy
children bless Thee
For Thy love on
us bestowed ;
As our Father
we address Thee,
Called to be
the sons of God.
Wondrous was
Thy love in giving
Jesus for our
sins to die ;
Wondrous was
His grace in leaving
For our sakes,
the heavens on high.
Song 9 verse
2
Now the
sprinkled blood has freed us,
Hastening
onward to our rest,
Through the
desert Thou dost lead us,
With Thy
constant favour blest ;
By Thy truth
and Spirit guiding,
Earnest He of
what's to come,
And, with daily
strength providing,
Thou dost lead
Thy children home.
Song 9 verse
3
Though our
pilgrimage be dreary,
This is not our
resting place ;
Shall we of the
way be weary
When we see our
Master's face ?
No : even now
anticipating,
In this hope
our souls rejoice,
And His
promised advent waiting,
Soon shall hear
His welcome voice.
Song 10
verse 1
Grace is the
sweetest sound
That ever
reached our ears ;
When conscience
charged and justice frowned,
'Twas grace removed
our fears.
Song 10
verse 2
'Tis freedom to
the slave,
'Tis light and
liberty ;
It takes its
terror from the grave,
From death its
victory.
Song 10
verse 3
Grace is a mine
of wealth
Laid open to
the poor ;
Grace is the
sovereign spring of health ;
'Tis life for
evermore.
Song 10
verse 4
Of grace then
let us sing,
A joyful,
wondrous theme,
Who grace has
brought, shall glory bring,
And we shall
reign with Him.
Song 10
verse 5
Then shall we
see His face
With all the
saints above,
And sing for
ever of His grace,
For ever of His
love.
Song 11
verse 1
Jesus, the
Lord, is ris’n
Triumphant o'er
the grave ;
For us He burst
the pris’n,
Almighty now to
save.
Captivity is
captive led,
Since Jesus
liveth that was dead.
Song 11
verse 2
Who to our
charge shall lay
Iniquity or
guilt ?
Our sins are
washed away
Since Jesus'
blood was spilt.
Captivity is
captive led,
Since Jesus liveth
that was dead.
Song 11
verse 3
Who now
accuseth them
Whom God hath
justified ?
Or who shall
those condemn
For whom the
Surety died ?
Captivity is
captive led,
Since Jesus
liveth that was dead.
Song 11
verse 4
Christ has the
ransom paid,
The wondrous
work is done ;
On Him our help
is laid,
The victory is
won.
Captivity is
captive led,
Since Jesus liveth
that was dead.
Song 12
verse 1
Sing, without
ceasing sing
The Saviour's
present grace,
How all things
shine in light divine
For those
who've seen His face.
Song 12
verse 2
He's gone
within the veil,
For us that
place has won ;
In Him we
stand, a heavenly band,
Where He
Himself is gone.
Song 12
verse 3
There all's
unsullied light,
Our hearts let
in its rays ;
And heavenly
light makes all things bright,
Seen in that
blissful gaze.
Song 12
verse 4
Such here on
earth we are,
Though we in
weakness roam ;
Our place on
high, God's self so nigh,
His presence is
our home.
Song 12
verse 5
And stayed by
joy divine,
As hireling
fills his day,
Through scenes of
strife and desert life
We tread in
peace our way.
Song 12
verse 6
That way is
upward still,
Where life and
glory are ;
Our rest's
above, in perfect love
The glory we
shall share.
Song 12
verse 7
For ever with
the Lord,
For ever like
Him then,
We'll see His
face in that blest place,
Our Father's
house in heaven.
Song 13
verse 1
Worship and
thanks and blessing,
And strength
ascribe to Jesus ;
The Lord alone
defends His own,
When earth or
hell oppresses.
Omnipotent
Redeemer,
Our ransomed
souls adore Thee :
Our Saviour
Thou, we own it now,
And give to
Thee the glory.
Song 13
verse 2
Thine arm hath
safely brought us
A way no more
expected,
Than when Thy
sheep passed through the deep,
By crystal
walls protected.
We sing Thine
arm unshortened,
Brought through
each sore temptation,
With heart and
voice in Thee rejoice,
Thou God of our
salvation.
Song 13
verse 3
Thy glory is
our rear-ward,
Thy hand our
lives doth cover ;
And we, e'en
we, have passed the sea,
And marched
triumphant over ;
We own Thy
great deliverance,
And triumph in
Thy favour,
And for the
love which now we prove,
Shall praise
Thy name for ever.
Song 14
verse 1
Hark ! ten
thousand voices crying
"Lamb of
God" with one accord ;
Thousand
thousand saints replying,
Wake at once
the echoing chord.
Song 14
verse 2
"Praise
the Lamb", the chorus waking,
All in heaven
together throng ;
Loud and far
each tongue partaking
Rolls around
the endless song.
Song 14
verse 3
Grateful
incense this, ascending
Ever to the
Father's throne ;
Every knee to
Jesus bending,
All the mind in
heaven is one.
Song 14
verse 4
All the
Father's counsels claiming
Equal honours
to the Son ;
All the Son's
effulgence beaming
Makes the
Father's glory known.
Song 15
verse 1
All that we
were — our sins, our guilt,
Our death — was
all our own :
All that we are
we owe to Thee,
Thou God of
grace alone.
Song 15
verse 2
Thy mercy found
us in our sins,
And gave us to
believe ;
Then, in
believing, peace we found ;
And in Thy
Christ we live.
Song 15
verse 3
All that we
are, as saints on earth,
All that we
hope to be
When Jesus
comes and glory dawns,
We owe it all
to Thee.
Song 16
verse 1
Many sons to
glory bringing,
God sets forth
His heavenly name;
On we march in
chorus singing,
"Worthy
the ascended Lamb !"
Song 16
verse 2
God who gave
the blood to screen us,
God looks down
in perfect love ;
Clouds may seem
to pass between us,
There's no
change in Him above.
Song 16
verse 3
Though the
restless foe accuses,
Sins recounting
like a flood,
Every charge
our God refuses :
Christ has
answered with His blood.
Song 16
verse 4
In the refuge
God provided,
Though the
world's destruction lowers,
We are safe, to
Christ confided,
Everlasting
life is ours.
Song 16
verse 5
And, ere long,
when come to glory,
We shall sing a
well-known strain,
This the
never-tiring story,
"Worthy is
the Lamb once slain!"
Song 17
verse 1
May the grace
of Christ our Saviour,
And the
Father's boundless love,
With the Holy
Spirit's favour,
Rest upon us
from above.
Song 17
verse 2
Thus may we
abide in union
With each other
and the Lord,
And possess, in
sweet communion,
Joys which
earth can ne'er afford.
Song 18
verse 1
Paschal Lamb,
by God appointed,
All our sins
were on Thee laid ;
By Almighty
love anointed,
Thou hast full
atonement made.
All Thy people
are forgiven
Through the
virtue of Thy blood ;
Opened is the
gate of heaven,
Peace is made
for us with God.
Song 18
verse 2
Saviour, hail !
enthroned in glory,
There forever
to abide ;
All the
heavenly hosts adore Thee
Seated at Thy
Father's side ;
Worship,
honour, power, and blessing,
Thou art worthy
to receive ;
Loudest
praises, without ceasing,
Meet it is for
us to give.
Lord Jesus, we
worship and bow at Thy feet,
And give Thee
the glory, the honour that's meet;
While through
Thee, O Saviour, our praises ascend
To God and the
Father through worlds without end.
Song 20
verse 1
Blessed Lord,
our hallelujahs
Now to Thee we
raise ;
Never could we
fully utter
All Thy worth
and praise.
Praise the Lamb !
yes, Thou art worthy,
Who didst shed
Thy blood
To redeem Thy
saints and make us
Kings and
priests to God.
Song 20
verse 2
Yes, we praise
Thee, for Thou lovest us ;
And we bless
Thee, Lord,
For the peace
and joy and gladness
Which Thou dost
afford.
Hallelujah ! Thou, Lord Jesus,
Canst not cease
to love ;
Thine we are,
and Thine forever,
One with Thee
above.
Song 20
verse 3
Praise the
Lord ! Yes, hallelujah !
Who would hush
the song ?
Join with
saints from every nation,
Every tribe and
tongue.
Praise the
Lamb, for He is worthy,
Sweet eternal strain !
Hallelujah !
Hallelujah !
Praise the
Lord ! Amen.
Song 21
verse 1
Abba, Father,
we approach Thee
In our
Saviour's precious name ;
We, Thy
children, here assembling,
Now the
promised blessing claim.
From our guilt
His blood has washed us,
'Tis through
Him our souls draw nigh ;
And Thy Spirit
too has taught us
"Abba,
Father", thus to cry.
Song 21
verse 2
Once as
prodigals we wandered
In our folly
far from Thee ;
But Thy grace,
o'er sin abounding,
Rescued us from
misery ;
Thou the
prodigals hast pardoned,
Kissed us with
a Father's love ;
Killed the
fatted calf, and called us
Ever to dwell
with Thee above.
Song 21
verse 3
Clothed in
garments of salvation,
At Thy table is
our place ;
We rejoice, and
Thou rejoicest,
In the riches
of Thy grace.
"It is
meet," we hear Thee saying,
"We should
merry be and glad ;
I have found My
once lost children,
Now they live
who once were dead."
Song 21
verse 4
Abba, Father,
we adore Thee,
While the hosts
in heaven above
Even in us now
learn the wonders
Of Thy wisdom,
grace, and love.
Soon before Thy
throne assembled,
All Thy
children shall proclaim
Abba's love as
shown in Jesus,
And how full is
Abba's name !
Song 22
verse 1
O Lord, a few
of Thine
Are gathered to
Thy name ;
May hearts overflow
with joy divine
As we Thy
promise claim.
Song 22
verse 2
We are, O Lord,
Thine own,
The purchase of
Thy blood ;
By Thee we
would approach the throne,
Confiding in
our God.
Song 22
verse 3
In us the Spirit
dwells,
The witness of
God's love ;
Our hearts
rejoice while He reveals
Thy glorious
things above.
Song 23
verse 1
How good is the
God we adore,
Our faithful
unchangeable Friend :
Whose love is
as great as His power,
And knows
neither measure nor end !
Song 23
verse 2
'Tis Jesus, the
First and the Last,
Whose Spirit
shall guide us safe home ;
We'll praise
Him for all that is past,
And trust Him
for all that's to come.
Song 24
verse 1
His be the Victor's
name
Who fought the
fight alone ;
Triumphant
saints no honour claim,
His conquest
was their own.
Song 24
verse 2
By weakness and
defeat,
He won the meed
and crown ;
Trod all our
foes beneath His feet
By being trodden
down.
Song 25
verse 1
Father, Thy
name our souls would bless,
As children
taught by grace,
Lift up our
hearts in righteousness
And joy before
Thy face.
Song 25
verse 2
Sweet is the
confidence Thou givest,
Though high
above our praise ;
Our hearts
resort to where Thou livest
In heaven's
unclouded rays.
Song 25
verse 3
There in the
purpose of Thy love
Our place is
now prepared,
As sons with
Him who is above,
Who all our
sorrows shared.
Song 25
verse 4
Eternal ages
shall declare
The riches of
Thy grace,
To those who
with Thy Son shall share
A son's eternal
place.
Song 25
verse 5
Absent as yet,
we rest in hope,
Treading the
desert path,
Waiting for Him
who takes us up
Beyond the
power of death.
Song 25
verse 6
We joy in Thee,
Thy holy love
Our endless
portion is,
Like Thine own
Son, with Him above,
In brightest
heavenly bliss.
Song 25
verse 7
O Holy Father,
keep us here
In that blest
name of love,
Walking before
Thee without fear
Till all be joy
above.
Song 26
verse 1
Thine is the
love, Lord, that draws us together,
Guiding our
steps from the wilderness ways ;
Soon face to
face we'll adore Thee forever,
Now our glad
hearts would be filled with Thy praise.
Song 26
verse 2
Faithful Thy
grace o'er our pathway has waited,
Deep the
delight we have found, Lord, in Thee ;
Now with this
treasure our spirits are freighted,
Bowed at Thy
feet, and the fragrance set free.
Song 26
verse 3
For us, Lord
Jesus, Thyself Thou hast given ;
Sufferings
unfathomed for us Thou hast known ;
Now, in accord
with the homage of heaven,
Rises a song
from the hearts of Thine own.
Song 26
verse 4
Jesus, Lord
Jesus, we love and adore Thee,
Glorious Thy
Name, all our praises above ;
Peerless Thy
beauty, we worship before Thee ;
Hushed are our
spirits, at rest in Thy love.
Song 27 verse
1
Lamb of God,
our souls adore Thee,
While upon Thy
face we gaze ;
There the
Father's love and glory
Shine in all
their brightest rays ;
Thy almighty
power and wisdom
All creation's
works proclaim ;
Heav’n and
earth alike confess Thee
As the ever
great I AM.
Song 27 verse
2
Son of God, Thy
Father's bosom
Ever was Thy
dwelling place ;
His delight, in
Him rejoicing,
One with Him in
power and grace :
Oh, what
wondrous love and mercy !
Thou didst lay
Thy glory by,
And for us
didst come from heaven,
As the Lamb of
God to die.
Song 27 verse
3
Lamb of God, when we behold Thee
Lowly in the manger laid ;
Wandering as a homeless Stranger,
In the world Thy hands had made ;
When we see Thee in the garden
In Thine agony of blood,
At Thy grace we are confounded,
Holy, spotless, Lamb of God.
Song 27 verse
4
When we see
Thee, as the Victim,
Nailed to the
accursed tree,
For our guilt
and folly stricken,
All our
judgment borne by Thee,
Lord, we own
with hearts adoring,
Thou hast
washed us in Thy blood :
Glory, glory
everlasting,
Be to Thee,
Thou Lamb of God !
Song 28
verse 1
Lamb of God,
Thou now art seated
High upon Thy
Father's throne ;
All Thy gracious
work completed,
All Thy mighty
victory won :
Every knee in
heaven is bending
To the Lamb for
sinners slain ;
Every voice and
heart is swelling,
"Worthy is
the Lamb to reign".
Song 28
verse 2
Lord, in all
Thy power and glory,
Still Thy
thoughts and eyes are here ;
Watching o'er
Thy ransomed people,
To Thy gracious
heart so dear ;
Thou for us art
interceding ;
Everlasting is
Thy love ;
And a blessed
rest preparing
In our Father's
house above.
Song 28
verse 3
Lamb of God,
Thy faithful promise
Says, "Behold,
I quickly come ;"
And our hearts,
to Thine responsive,
Cry,
"Come, Lord, and take us home."
Oh, the rapture
that awaits us,
When we meet
Thee in the air,
And with Thee
ascend in triumph,
All Thy deepest
joys to share.
Song 28
verse 4
Lamb of God, when
Thou in glory
Shalt to this
sad earth return,
All Thy foes
shall quake before Thee,
All who now
despise Thee mourn ;
Then shall we
at Thine appearing,
With Thee in
Thy kingdom reign ;
Thine the
praise, and Thine the glory,
Lamb of God for
sinners slain.
Song 29
verse 1
O blessed
Saviour, Son of God
Who hast

From guilt, and

And worthy Thee
proclaim.

Exalted by the
Father's love,

All things to
Thee are given.

Head of the
church, Thou sittest there ;
Thy members all
the blessings share ;

Lord, is ours :
Our life Thou
art ; Thy grace sustains ;
Thy strength in
us each victory gains
O'er sin and
Satan's powers.
Song 29
verse 4
And soon, the
day of glory come,
Thy bride shall
reach her destined home
And all Thy

To hear Thee
own us, Lord, as Thine,
And ever dwell
with Thee !

Beneath our
sins didst deign to bow
And shed for us
Thy precious blood !

On Thee, the
Father's blessed Son,
As Lamb of God
our judgment fell ;
That all was
borne, that all is done,
Thine agony,
Thy cross can tell.

Thy cross, Thy
cross ! 'tis there we see
What Thou, our
blessed Saviour, art ;
There all the
love that dwells in Thee
Was labouring
in Thy breaking heart.

Sure is made
eternal bliss ; Hallelujah !

them from the Lord.

Saviour, unto
Thee assembling,
Turn we now to
praise,
Thankful
hearts, Thy name adoring,
Sweetest song

us, Thou hast bought us,
Thou hast made
us free,
Hearts and
voices blended, singing
"Glory
unto Thee."
Song 36
verse 2
Thine the cost
and Thine the suffering,
Thine the cross
and shame ;
Ours the never-ending
blessing
Through Thy
precious name ;
Thine it is,
Lord, now the travail
Of Thy soul to
see,
Thus overflowing
with Thy praises
Sing we now to
Thee.
Song 37
verse 1
The atoning
work is done,
The Victim's
blood is shed ;
And Jesus now
is gone
His people's
cause to plead :
He lives in
heaven their great High Priest,
And bears their
names upon His breast.
Song 37
verse 2
For us His
blood was shed :
For us He lives
above :
Secured in Him
our Head,
God's purposes
of love.
God's
righteousness throws wide the door,
Whence mercy
yields her boundless store.
Song 37
verse 3
And though
awhile He be
Hid from the
eyes of men,
His people look
to see
Their great
High Priest again.
In brightest
glory He will come,
And take His
waiting people home.
Song 38
verse 1
Oh, what shall
we do the Saviour to praise ?
So faithful and
true, so plenteous in grace,
So strong to
deliver, so good to redeem
The weakest believer
that looks up to Him !
Song 38
verse 2
How happy the
man whose heart is set free,
The people that
can be joyful in Thee !
Their joy is to
walk in the light of Thy face,
And ever to
talk of Thy mercy and grace.
Song 39
verse 1
On His Father's
throne is seated
Christ the
Lord, the living One,
All His toil on
earth completed,
All His work
for sinners done :
In the glory, In
the glory,
See Him, God's
eternal Son.
Song 39
verse 2
Every knee
shall bow before Him,
Every tongue
confess His name ;
Ransomed
myriads shall adore Him,
Who endured the
sinner's shame :
From the glory,
From the glory
God doth now
His worth proclaim.
Song 39
verse 3
Man the cross
to Him awarded ;
Man the Saviour
crucified ;
This world's
judgment stands recorded,
God's own justice
satisfied !
By the glory, By
the glory
Christ was
claimed on earth who died.
Song 39
verse 4
Son of God, His
incarnation
Opened first
the tale of grace ;
Son of Man, in
new creation
Leader of a
chosen race !
Well may glory
Crown Him, in
the ordered place !
Song 40
verse 1
O Thou great
all-gracious Shepherd,
Shedding for us
Thy life's blood,
Unto shame and
death delivered,
All to bring us
nigh to God !
Now our willing
hearts adore Thee,
Now we taste
Thy dying love,
While by faith
we come before Thee —
Faith which
lifts our souls above.
Song 40
verse 2
As our Surety
we behold Thee,
Ransoming our
souls from death ;
As the willing
Victim view Thee
Yielding up to
God Thy breath.
In the broken
bread we own Thee,
Bruised for us
and put to shame ;
And the cup, O
Lord, we thank Thee,
Speaks of
pardon through Thy name.
Song 40
verse 3
But 'tis past,
and, Lord, we hail Thee
Crowned with
glory on the throne ;
Meet it is Thy
saints should bless Thee
For the place
Thy death hath won:
Won for us —
that in full measure
We should have
our part with Thee —
Taste the river
of Thy pleasure,
Share in all
Thy victory.
Song 41
verse 1
Low in the
grave He lay —
Jesus, my
Saviour !
Waiting the
coming day —
Jesus, my Lord !
Up from the
grave He arose,
With a mighty
triumph o'er His foes ;
He arose a
Victor from the dark domain,
And He lives
for ever with His saints to reign.
He
arose ! He arose !
Hallelujah !
Christ arose !
Song 41
verse 2
Vainly they
watch His bed —
Jesus, my
Saviour !
Vainly they
seal the dead —
Jesus, my Lord !
Up from the
grave He arose, etc.
Song 41
verse 3
Death cannot
keep his prey —
Jesus, my
Saviour !
He tore the
bars away —
Jesus, my Lord !
Up from the
grave He arose, etc.

Lord Jesus
Christ, our living Head,
How bright Thy
glories shine !
Unique in Thy
humanity :
Eternally
divine.
Song 42
verse 2
Thou was before
created things,
Of all the
Author Thou ;
Upholder of the
universe,
To Thee as God
we bow.
Song 42
verse 3
The creature
mind, however sublime,
Thine essence
cannot know,
Yet we to Thee
in majesty,
With reverence
bend low.
Song 42
verse 4
But in Thy
manhood's glorious state
Our thankful
hearts rejoice ;
For of Thy
body, Lord, are we,
Of love divine
the choice.
Song 42
verse 5
Great source of
wisdom, power and food,
All riches from
Thee flow ;
Thou on Thy
church, Thy fullness here,
All treasure
dost bestow.
Song 42
verse 6
So unto Thee,
our glorious Head,
Love's tribute
now we bring,
In nearness
here to Thee on high
In heavenly
measures sing.
Song 43
verse 1
Not all the
blood of beasts
On Jewish
altars slain
Could give the
guilty conscience peace,
Or wash away
its stain.
Song 43
verse 2
But Christ, the
heavenly Lamb,
Took all our
guilt away,
A sacrifice of
nobler name
And richer
blood than they.
Song 43
verse 3
Our souls look
back to see
The burden Thou
didst bear,
When hanging on
the accursed tree,
For all our
guilt was there.
Song 43
verse 4
Believing, we
rejoice
To see the
curse remove,
And bless the
Lamb with cheerful voice,
And sing
redeeming love.
Song 44
verse 1
Maker of earth
and heaven,
Whose arm
upholds creation,
To Thee we
raise the voice of praise,
And bend in
adoration.
We praise the
power that made us ;
We praise the
love that blesses ;
While every day
that rolls away,
Thy gracious
care confesses.
Song 44
verse 2
Though trials
and affliction
May cast their
shadows o'er us,
Thy love doth
throw a heavenly glow
Of light on all
before us;
That love has
smiled from heaven,
To cheer our
path of sadness,
And lead the
way through earth's dark day
To realms of
joy and gladness.
Song 44
verse 3
The light of
love and glory
Has shone
through Christ our Saviour,
The Crucified —
who lived and died,
That we might
live for ever.
And since Thy
great compassion
Thus brings Thy
children near Thee,
May we to
praise devote our days,
And keep for
ever near Thee.
Song 45
verse 1
Jesus, the
Lord, our righteousness !
Our beauty
Thou, our glorious dress !
Midst flaming
worlds in this arrayed,
With joy shall
we lift up the head.
Song 45
verse 2
Bold shall we
stand in that great day,
For who ought
to our charge shall lay,
While by Thy
blood absolved we are
From sin and
guilt, from shame and fear ?
Song 45
verse 3
Thus Abraham,
the friend of God,
Thus all the
saints redeemed with blood,
Saviour of
sinners, Thee proclaim,
And all their
boast is in Thy name.
Song 45
verse 4
This spotless
robe the same appears
In new
creation's endless years ;
No age can
change its glorious hue ;
The robe of
Christ is ever new.
Song 45
verse 5
Till we behold
Thee on Thy throne,
In Thee we
boast, in Thee alone,
Our beauty
this, our glorious dress,
Jesus the Lord,
our righteousness.
Song 46
verse 1
Lord, we
treasure with affection,
All Thy path of
sorrow here,
And those
closing scenes of anguish
To our hearts
Thyself endear.
Song 46
verse 2
Deep Thy sorrow
then, Lord Jesus,
Deeper far than
thought can reach,
Grief intense
and sufferings holy,
Far beyond all
tongues to teach.
Song 46
verse 3
None could
follow there, blest Saviour,
When Thou didst
for sins atone ;
For those sufferings,
deep, unfathomed,
Were, Lord
Jesus, Thine alone.
Song 46
verse 4
Thou didst
measure then sin's distance ;
Darkness, wrath
and curse were Thine ;
Man-betrayed,
by God forsaken ;
Thus we learn
Thy love divine.
Song 47
verse 1
Grace taught
our wandering feet
To tread the
heavenly road ;
And new
supplies each hour we meet
While
travelling home to God.
Song 47
verse 2
'Twas grace
that wrote each name
In life's
eternal book ;
'Twas grace
that gave the spotless Lamb
Who all our
sorrows took.
Song 47
verse 3
Grace saved us
from the foe,
Grace taught us
how to pray ;
And God will
ne'er His grace forgo,
Till we have
won the day.
Song 47
verse 4
May grace, free
grace, inspire
Our souls with
strength divine ;
May every
thought to God aspire,
And grace in
service shine.
Song 47
verse 5
Grace all the
work shall crown
Through
everlasting days ;
It lays in
heaven the topmost stone,
And well
deserves the praise.
Song 48
verse 1
High in the
Father's house above,
Our mansion is
prepared ;
There is the
home, the rest we love,
And there our
bright reward.
Song 48
verse 2
With Him we
love, in spotless white,
In glory we
shall shine ;
His blissful
presence our delight
In love and joy
divine.
Song 48
verse 3
All taint of
sin shall be removed,
All evil done
away ;
And we shall
dwell with God's Beloved,
Through God's
eternal day.
Song 49
verse 1
Christ
delivered us when bound,
And, when
wounded, healed our wound,
Sought us
wandering, set us right,
Turned our
darkness into light.
Song 49
verse 2
Can a mother's
tender care
Cease towards
the child she bare ?
Yes, she may
forgetful prove ;
He will never
cease to love.
Song 49
verse 3
His is an
unchanging love,
Higher than the
heights above,
Deeper than the
depths beneath,
Free and
faithful, strong as death.
Song 49
verse 4
We shall see
His glory soon,
When the work
of grace is done,
Partners of His
throne above ;
Such to us His
wondrous love !
Song 49
verse 5
This alone is
our complaint,
That our love
is weak and faint ;
Yet we love
Him, and adore,
O for grace to
love Him more !
Song 50
verse 1
Our God and
Father, we draw near to Thee
In all the
worth of Thy beloved Son ;
All Thou hast
e'er desired from man we see
In Him, Thy
Christ, Thine own anointed One.
Song 50
verse 2
No thought of
His e'er moved apart from Thine ;
Each holy
footstep gave Thee fresh delight ;
Perfect
expression of Thy will divine
Thou hadst in
Him — come forth from glory bright.
Song 50
verse 3
Thou ever
lovedst Him — ere time began
He was beside
Thee, object of Thy heart ;
One with
Thyself in Thine eternal plan,
In Godhead
glory one in all Thou art.
Song 50
verse 4
And now Thou
lov'st Him, for Himself He gave —
Theme of our
song when time shall cease to be ;
Laid down His
life that Thou, O God, shouldst have
Fruit of Thy
love in sons who worship Thee.
Song 51
verse 1
Abba, Father,
we adore Thee
As Thy saints
before Thy throne ;
Sweet it is to
praise and bless Thee
For Thy love in
Christ made known.
In the emblem
of His body
We behold the
wondrous price,
Which was given
for our ransom :
Nought could
else for sin suffice.
Song 51
verse 2
Of our guilt
His cross the measure,
There our sins'
desert we learn ;
In the cup of
blessing given us
We Thy love, O
God, discern,
Through His
blood to us vouchsafing
Boldness to
draw near the throne ;
How complete
our needed cleansing
Thine unsullied
light makes known.
Song 52
verse 1
Lord, we are
Thine, bought by Thy blood,
Once the poor
guilty slaves of sin ;
But Thou
redeemedst us to God,
And mad'st Thy
Spirit dwell within ;
Thou hast our
sinful wanderings borne
With love and
patience all divine ;
As brands,
then, from the burning torn,
We own that we
are wholly Thine.
Song 52
verse 2
Lord, we are
Thine : Thy claims we own,
Ourselves to
Thee we'd wholly give.
Reign Thou
within our hearts alone,
And let us to
Thy glory live ;
Here let us
each Thy mind display,
In all Thy
gracious image shine ;
And haste that
long-expected day
When Thou shalt
own that we are Thine.
Song 53
verse 1
Blest God and
Father, in Thy sight
We bow and own
Thy grace ;
We worship in
Thy glorious light,
Which shines in
Jesus' face.
Song 53
verse 2
The glories of
His work we bring —
Thee glorified
we see ;
His deep
perfections gladly sing,
And tell them
forth to Thee.
Song 53
verse 3
He fills Thy
presence, fully known
To Thee alone
His worth ;
But in our
hearts Thy light hath shone,
As sons of
heavenly birth.
Song 53
verse 4
Lord Jesus
Christ, we praise Thy name
In God the
Father's ear ;
And worship
Thee, Thou holy Lamb,
Whose blood has
brought us near.
Song 54
verse 1
How sweet the
name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's
ear !
It soothes his
sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away
his fear.
Song 54
verse 2
It makes the
wounded spirit whole,
It calms the troubleed
breast ;
'Tis manna to
the hungry soul,
And to the
weary rest.
Song 54
verse 3
Blest Name, the
rock on which we build,
Our shield and
hidingplace ;
Our
neverfailing treasury, filled
With boundless
stores of grace.
Song 54
verse 4
Jesus, our
Saviour, Shepherd, Friend,
Thou Prophet,
Priest and King,
Our Lord, our
Life, our Way, our End,
Accept the
praise we bring.
Song 54
verse 5
Weak is the
effort of our heart,
And cold our
warmest thought ;
But when we see
Thee as Thou art,
We'll praise
Thee as we ought.
Song 54
verse 6
Till then we
would Thy love proclaim
With every
fleeting breath ;
And triumph in
Thy blessed Name
Which quells
the power of death.
Song 55
verse 1
Through waves,
through clouds and storms,
God gently
clears the way ;
We wait His
time ; so shall the night
Soon end in
blissful day.
Song 55
verse 2
He everywhere
hath sway,
And all things
serve His might ;
His every act
pure blessing is,
His path
unsullied light.
Song 55
verse 3
When He makes
bare His arm,
Who shall His
work withstand ?
When He His
people's cause defends,
Who then shall
stay His hand ?
Song 55
verse 4
We leave it to
Himself
To choose and
to command,
With wonder
filled, we soon shall see
How wise, how
strong His hand.
Song 55
verse 5
We comprehend
Him not,
Yet earth and
heaven tell
God sits as
sovereign on the throne,
And ruleth all
things well.
Song 56
verse 1
O Lord, how
blest our journey,
Though here on
earth we roam,
Who find in
Abba's favour
Our spirit's
present home :
For where Thou
now art sitting
By faith we've
found repose,
Free to look up
to heaven,
Since our blest
Head arose.
Song 56
verse 2
In spirit there
already ;
Soon we
ourselves shall be
In soul and
body perfect,
All glorified,
with Thee :
Thy Father's
love sustains us
Along the
thorny way,
Thy Father's
house, the dwelling
Made ready for that
day.
Song 56
verse 3
The Comforter,
now present,
Assures us of
Thy love ;
He is the
blessed earnest
Of glory there
above :
The river of
Thy pleasure
Is what
sustains us now,
Till Thy new
name's imprinted
On every
sinless brow.
Song 56
verse 4
Lord, we await
Thy glory ;
We have no home
but there,
Where the
adopted family
With Thee Thy
joy shall share.
No place can
fully please us
Where Thou, O
Lord, art not ;
In Thee, and
with Thee, ever
Is found, by
grace, our lot.
Song 57
verse 1
On the Lamb our
souls are resting,
What His love
no tongue can say ;
All our sins,
so great, so many,
In His blood
are washed away.
Song 57
verse 2
Sweetest rest
and peace have filled us,
Sweeter praise
than tongue can tell ;
God is
satisfied with Jesus,
We are satisfied
as well.
Song 57
verse 3
Conscience now
no more condemns us,
For His own
most precious blood
Once for all
has washed and cleansed us —
Cleansed us in
the eyes of God.
Song 57
verse 4
Filled with
this sweet peace for ever,
On we go,
through strife and care,
Till we find
that peace around us
In the Lamb's
high glory there.
Song 58
verse 1
"Abba,
Father", words of mercy,
Words of
comfort, words of love,
Covering all
our needs and longings
Till we reach
our home above !
Song 58
verse 2
Jesus prayed for
us, O Father,
Ere He left
this world of woe,
Asking Thee to
guard and keep us
Safely all our
path below.
Song 58
verse 3
Holy Father —
such His pleading —
Keep, O keep
them in Thy name ;
As Thou lovedst
Me, O Father,
Thou hast loved
them the same.
Song 58
verse 4
Thus by God the
Son committed
To the Father's
tender care,
Thus by God the
Father loved,
Can we doubt,
or can we fear ?
Song 59
verse 1
O God, Thou
hast engaged our hearts
With Christ Thy
wellbeloved Son ;
Thy love a holy
joy imparts,
A joy which He
for us hath won.
Song 59
verse 2
Assured in
faith we enter now
Thy presence,
where, most blessed God,
Thy glory rests
upon His brow,
Who brought us
nigh to Thee by blood.
Song 59
verse 2
To Him Thy
voice from out the cloud
Once spake Thy
deep, Thy full delight ;
And now without
a veil to shroud,
In Him shines
forth Thy glory bright.
Song 59
verse 3
'Tis Jesus
fills that holy place
Where glory
dwells, and Thy deep love
In its own
fulness (known through grace)
Rests where He
lives, in heaven above.
Song 59
verse 4
Yet, midst
Thine own the Spirit still
Bears witness
of His glory there,
And from the
sphere which He doth fill
Brings
knowledge of His fulness here.
Song 59
verse 5
Our God we
bless Thee, Father Thou
Of Him Thy
wellbeloved Son ;
As blest in Him
before Thee bow,
And joy in all
that love has done.
Song 60
verse 1
Our thanks to
God most high,
The Father of
our Lord,
The Saviour-God
is He,
And be His name
adored ;
O God, Thy
mercy shall endure,
Thy word abide
for ever sure.
Song 60 verse
2
He sent His
only Son
And saved us
from our woe —
From ruin,
guilt, and hell,
And every
hurtful foe ;
Thy mercy,
Lord, shall still endure,
Thy word abide
for ever sure.
Song 60
verse 3
Give thanks
aloud to God,
To God your
praises bring,
To God upon His
throne
His works and
glories sing;
His power and
grace are still the same,
Let endless
praise exalt His name.
Song 61
verse 1
How wondrous
the glories that meet
In Jesus, and
from His face shine !
His love is
eternal and sweet,
'Tis human, 'tis
also divine.
Song 61
verse 2
His glory — not
only God's Son,
In manhood He
had His full part ;
And the union
of both joined in One
Forms the
fountain of love in His heart.
Song 61
verse 3
The infinite
worth of His blood
Has freed us
from hell and from fear,
That we, as the
blest sons of God,
May make His
good pleasure our care.
Song 61
verse 4
O then may His
glory and love
Make us walk in
the service of heaven,
'Mid obedience
and suffering to prove
That we to the
Lamb have been given.
Song 62
verse 1
In the Lord we
have redemption,
Full remission
in His blood,
From the curse
entire exemption,
From the curse
pronounced by God :
What a Saviour
Jesus is !
O what grace,
what love is His !
Song 62
verse 2
Sweet His name,
that name transcending
Every name on
earth, in heaven ;
Praise, through
ages never-ending,
To the Son of
God be given !
He alone the
Saviour is,
Everlasting
praise be His !
Song 63
verse 1
Son of God !
with joy we praise Thee,
On the Father's
throne above ;
All Thy
wondrous work displays Thee,
Full of grace
and full of love !
Lord, accept
our adoration —
For our sins
Thou once wast slain ;
Through Thy
blood we have salvation,
Soon shall
share Thine endless reign.
Song 63
verse 2
God, in Thee
His love unfolding,
Shows how vast,
how rich His grace ;
Blest our lot,
with joy beholding
All His glory
in Thy face.
Oh ! the
mercy which hath blessed us,
Purposed thus
ere time began,
Mercy which in
Thee hath kept us,
Mercy vast,
like heaven's span.
Song 64
verse 1
Oh bright and
blessed scenes !
Where sin can
never come,
Whose sight our
longing spirit weans
From earth
where yet we roam.
Song 64
verse 2
And can we call
our home
Our Father's
house on high,
The rest of God
our rest to come,
Our place of
liberty ?
Song 64
verse 3
Yes ! in
that light unstained,
Our stainless
souls shall live,
Our heart's
deep longings more than gained,
When God His
rest shall give.
Song 64
verse 4
His presence
there, my soul
Its rest, its
joy untold
Shall find,
when endless ages roll,
And time shall
ne'er grow old.
Song 64
verse 5
Our God the
centre is,
His presence
fills that land,
And countless
myriads owned as His,
Round Him
adoring stand.
Song 64
verse 6
Our God whom we
have known,
Well known in
Jesus' love,
Rests in the
blessing of His own,
Before Himself
above.
Song 64
verse 7
Glory supreme
is there,
Glory that
shines through all,
More precious
still that love to share
As those that
love did call.
Song 64
verse 8
Like Jesus in
that place
Of light and
love supreme !
Once Man of
Sorrows full of grace,
Heaven's blest
and endless theme !
Song 64
verse 9
Like Him !
O grace supreme !
Like Him before
Thy face,
Like Him to
know that glory beam
Unhindered face
to face !
Song 64
verse 10
Oh, love
supreme and bright,
Good to the
feeblest heart,
That gives us
now, as heavenly light,
What soon shall
be our part !
Song 65
verse 1
Oh how the
thought that I shall know
Jesus who
suffered here below,
To manifest
God's favour
For me, and for
the saints I love,
Both here, and
with Himself above,
Doth my renewed
nature move
At that sweet
word, “For ever !”
Song 65
verse 2
For ever to
behold Him shine !
For evermore to
call Him mine !
And see Him
still before me :
For ever on His
face to gaze,
And meet the
full assembled rays,
While all His
beauty He displays
To all the
saints in glory !
Song 65
verse 3
Not all things
else are half so dear
As is His
blissful presence here,
What will it be
in heaven !
'Tis heaven on
earth that we can say,
As now we
journey, day by day,
“Himself has
borne our guilt away,
Our sins are
all forgiven.”
Song 65
verse 4
But how will
His celestial voice
Make each
enraptured heart rejoice,
Of saints in
glory near Him !
When we no
longer absent wait,
But like Him in
His glorious state
Where nought
our bliss can e'er abate,
With joy in
heaven shall hear Him !
Song 66
verse 1
Lord, Thou hast
sought, and with blood Thou hast bought me,
Snapped are my
fetters, the captive is free ;
Out of my sins
unto God Thou hast brought me :
Holy Redeemer,
I sing unto Thee.
O Thou art
worthy ! O Thou art worthy !
O Thou art
worthy ! God's glorious Son ;
Ever in
heaven my glad heart shall praise Thee,
Ever
remembering the work Thou hast done.
Song 66
verse 2
Great was the
love, Lord, that brought Thee from glory,
Great the
compassion that led Thee to die,
Great is the
joy of Thy wondrous salvation,
Great is Thy
glory, my Saviour, I cry.
O Thou art
worthy ! O Thou art worthy ! etc.
Song 66
verse 3
Nought but Thy
favour can please me, O Saviour,
Nought but Thy
love can my soul satisfy ;
O keep me near
Thee, and ne'er let me grieve Thee,
Fill Thou my
heart with Thy grace from on high.
O Thou art
worthy ! O Thou art worthy ! etc.
Song 67
verse 1
We bless Thee,
God and Father,
We joy before
Thy face ;
Beyond dark
death for ever,
We share Thy
Son's blest place.
He lives a Man
before Thee,
In cloudless
light above,
In Thine
unbounded favour —
Thine
everlasting love.
Song 67
verse 2
His Father, and
our Father,
His God and
ours Thou art ;
And He is Thy
Beloved,
The gladness of
Thy heart.
We're His, in
joy He brings us
To share His
part and place ;
To know Thy
love and favour,
The shining of
Thy face.
Song 67
verse 3
Thy love that
now enfolds us
Can ne'er wax
cold or dim ;
In Him that
love doth centre,
And we are
loved in Him ;
In Him Thy love
and glory
Find their eternal
rest ;
The many sons —
His brethren —
In Him, how
near, how blest !
Song 68
verse 1
Thy name we
bless, Lord Jesus,
That name all
names excelling ;
How great Thy
love all praise above
Should every
tongue be telling.
The Father's
loving — kindness
In giving Thee
was shown us ;
Now by Thy
blood redeemed to God,
As children He
doth own us.
Song 68
verse 2
From that
eternal glory
Thou hadst with
God the Father,
He gave His Son
that He in one
His children
all might gather :
Our sins were
all laid on Thee,
God's wrath
Thou hast endured ;
It was for us
Thou sufferedst thus,
And hast our
peace secured.
Song 68
verse 3
Thou from the
dead wast raised,
And from all
condemnation
Thy saints are
free, as risen in Thee,
Head of the new
creation.
On high Thou hast
ascended
To God's right
hand in heaven,
The Lamb once
slain, alive again,
To Thee all
power is given.
Song 68
verse 4
Thou hast
bestowed the earnest
Of that we
shall inherit ;
Till Thou shalt
come to take us home,
We're sealed by
God the Spirit.
We wait for Thy
returning,
When we shall
know more fully
The grace
divine that made us Thine,
Thou Lamb of
God most holy.
Song 69
verse 1
Thou, Lamb of
God, didst shed Thy blood,
Thou didst our
load of misery bear ;
And hast
exalted us to share
The rank of
kings and priests to God.
Song 69
verse 2
To Thee we
render evermore
The honour,
glory, praise that's due ;
Might, power,
and glad obedience too,
And in our
hearts we Thee adore,
Amen ! Amen !
O Lord, Amen !
Song 70
verse 1
Lord, our
hearts are burning
For the
glorious day,
When at Thy
returning
All shall own
Thy sway.
Chains shall
break before Thee,
Mighty King of
kings ;
Angels will
adore Thee,
While creation
sings.
Song 70
verse 2
Tender, loving
Saviour,
Lamb that once
was slain,
Saints will through
Thy favour
Never weep
again.
Gently Thou
wilt lead them
Where the river
flows,
On its banks
wilt feed them
In divine
repose.
Song 70
verse 3
Prince of life
and glory,
Shine before
our eyes,
And let
Calvary's story
Sound through
earth and skies ;
Lamb of God,
receive us
To yon peaceful
shore ;
Come again,
Lord Jesus,
Reign for
evermore.
Song 71
verse 1
Oh, my Saviour
crucified
Near Thy cross
would I abide,
Gazing with
adoring eye
On Thy dying
agony.
Song 71
verse 2
Jesus bruised
and put to shame,
Tells the
glories of God's name ;
Holy judgment
there I found,
Grace did there
o'er sin abound.
Song 71
verse 3
God is love I
surely know,
In the
Saviour's depth of woe,
In the Sinless,
in God's sight,
Sin is justly
brought to light.
Song 71
verse 4
In His spotless
soul's distress,
I have learnt
my guiltiness ;
Oh how vile my
low estate,
Since my ransom
was so great !
Song 71
verse 5
Rent the veil
that closed the way
To my home of
heavenly day,
In the flesh of
Christ the Lord,
Ever be His
name adored !
Song 71
verse 6
Yet in sight of
Calvary,
Contrite should
my spirit be,
Rest and
holiness there find
Fashioned like
my Saviour's mind.
Song 72
verse 1
Well may we
sing, with triumph sing,
The great
Redeemer's praise !
The glories of
the living God,
Revealed in
Jesus' face.
Song 72
verse 2
The love of God
it was that sought
From sin to set
us free,
That gave the
Son, whose precious blood
Has wrought our
liberty.
Song 72
verse 3
In Him we read
the Father's love,
And find
eternal peace ;
We meet in Him
a Saviour-God,
And fear and
terror cease.
Song 72
verse 4
Then gladly
sing, and sound a – broad
The great
Redeemer's praise ;
The glories of
the living God,
The riches of
His grace !
Song 73
verse 1
On our way
rejoicing
As we homeward
move,
Hearken to our
praises,
O Thou God of
love.
Is there grief
or sadness ?
Thou our joy
shalt be ;
Is our sky
beclouded ?
Light is found
in Thee.
Song 73
verse 2
On our way
rejoicing,
Gladly let us
go ;
Jesus is our
Leader,
Conquered is
our foe.
Christ without,
our safety ;
Christ within,
our joy ;
Who, if we but
trust Him,
Can our hope destroy ?
Song 73
verse 3
Unto God the
Father
Joyful songs we
sing ;
Unto God the
Saviour
Thankful hearts
we bring ;
Led by God the
Spirit,
Gladly we adore :
On our way
rejoicing,
Now and
evermore.
Song 74
verse 1
May the mind of
Christ my Saviour
Live in me from
day to day,
By His love and
power controlling
All I do and
say.
Song 74
verse 2
May the Word of
God dwell richly
In my heart
from hour to hour,
So that all may
see I triumph
Only through
His power.
Song 74
verse 3
May the peace
of God my Father
Rule my life in
everything,
That I may be
calm to comfort
Sick and
sorrowing.
Song 74
verse 4
May the love of
Jesus fill me,
As the waters
fill the sea ;
Him exalting,
self abasing,
This is
victory.
Song 74
verse 5
May I run the
race before me,
Strong and
brave to face the foe,
Looking only
unto Jesus
As I onward go.
Song 74
verse 6
May His beauty
rest upon me
As I seek the
lost to win,
And may they
forget the channel,
Seeing only
Him.
Song 75
verse 1
"No
separation" ! — O my soul,
'Tis God who
speaks the word ;
So close the
Spirit thee unites
With Christ,
thy risen Lord.
Song 75
verse 2
"No
separation" ! — thou art His,
And His for
evermore ;
Up -- on the
cross thy debt He paid,
And all thy
judgment bore.
Song 75
verse 3
"No
separation" ! — precious word !
In it, my soul,
be glad ;
Loved with an
everlasting love,
And one with
Jesus made.
Song 75
verse 4
"No
separation" ! — Life nor death,
Things present
nor to come,
Can part thee
from His precious care,
Or rob thee of
thy home.
Song 75
verse 5
"No
separation" ! — Linked with Him,
His glory — all
is thine ;
Oh, wondrous
love, that thus could plan
A union so
divine !
Song 76
verse 1
Rise, my soul,
thy God directs thee ;
Stranger hands
no more impede ;
Pass thou on,
His hand protects thee,
Strength that
has the captive freed.
Song 76
verse 2
Is the
wilderness before thee,
Desert lands
where drought abides ?
Heavenly
springs shall there restore thee,
Fresh from
God's exhaustless tides.
Song 76
verse 3
Light divine
surrounds thy going,
God Himself
shall mark thy way ;
Secret
blessings, richly flowing,
Lead to
everlasting day.
Song 76
verse 4
God, thine
everlasting portion,
Feeds thee with
the mighty's meat ;
Price of Egypt's
hard extortion,
Egypt's food no
more to eat.
Song 77
verse 1
Father of glory,
our songs we are raising ;
Such is Thy
love, and so blessedly shown !
We are united
in heart and in praising ;
High we extol
Thee, Thy glory we own.
Song 77
verse 2
Him Thou hast
given unspeakable giving,
Father of glory
— the Son of Thy love !
Glorious answer
– response of the living –
Sons ever with
Thee, O Father, above.
Song 77
verse 3
Yea, He has
told us the wonderful secrets,
Father of
glory, once hid -- den from man ;
Fully revealed
now to us by Thy Spirit,
All Thou
desiredst – eternity's plan !
Song 77
verse 4
Father of
glory, we bow and adore Thee !
Restful our
hearts as we wondering gaze.
Oh with what
joy shall we offer before Thee
In the repose
of Thy glory, our praise !
Song 78
verse 1
Lord, while we
wait the moment
When we shall
see Thy face,
We daily prove
the sweetness
Of Thy
sustaining grace ;
Yea, daily find
the comfort
Of Thine
unfailing love,
Till we shall
know its fullness
When with Thee,
Lord, above.
Song 78
verse 2
And yet while
in the desert,
What les -- sons
do we learn,
As on our
homeward journey
Thou mak'st our
hearts to burn !
The living
water flowing
From life's
perennial spring,
The daily manna
coming,
Fresh praises
daily bring.
Song 78
verse 3
And oh, what
loud thanksgiving
Shall fill that
home of love,
As we survey
the pathway
Which led to
Thee above !
There in the
light unsullied
We'll see how
great Thy care,
Which watched
our every footstep,
Till we Thy
rest should share.
Song 79
verse 1
Rest of the
saints above,
Jerusalem of
God,
Who in thy
palaces of love,
Thy golden
streets have trod,
To me thy joy
to tell —
Those courts
secure from ill,
Where God
Himself vouch -- safes to dwell,
And every bosom
fill ?
Song 79
verse 2
Who shall to me
that joy
Of saint-thronged
courts declare,
Tell of that
constant sweet employ
My spirit longs
to share ?
That rest
secure from ill,
No cloud of
grief e'er stains ;
Unfailing
praise each heart doth fill,
And love
eternal reigns.
Song 79
verse 3
The Lamb is
there, my soul ;
There, God
Himself doth rest,
In love divine
diffused through all
With Him
supremely blest.
God and the
Lamb 'tis well,
I know that
source divine,
Of joy and love
no tongue can tell,
Yet know that
all is mine.
Song 79
verse 4
And see, the
Spirit's power
Has ope'd the
heavenly door,
Has brought me
to that favoured hour
When toil shall
all be o'er.
There on the
hidden bread
Of Christ —
once humbled here —
God's treasured
store — for ever fed,
His love my
soul shall cheer.
Song 79
verse 5
Called by that
secret name
Of undisclosed
delight,
(Blest answer
to reproach and shame)
Graved on the
stone of white.
There in
effulgence bright,
Saviour and
Guide, with Thee
I'll walk, and
in Thy heavenly light
Whiter my robe
shall be.
Song 79
verse 6
There in the
unsullied way
Which His own
hand hath dressed,
My feet press
on where brightest day
Shines forth on
all the rest.
But who that
glorious blaze
Of living light
shall tell,
Where all His
brightness God displays,
And the Lamb's
glories dwell ?
Song 79
verse 7
(There only to
adore,
My soul its
strength may find,
Its life, its
joy for evermore,
By sight, nor
sense, defined.)
God and the
Lamb shall there
The light and
temple be,
And radiant
hosts for ever share
The unveiled
mystery.
Song 80
verse 1
On earth the
song begin ;
In heaven more
sweet and loud —
"To Him
that cleansed our sins
By His atoning
blood ;
To Him,"
we sing in joyful strain,
"Be
honour, power, and praise, Amen."
Song 80
verse 2
Alone He bore
the cross,
Alone its grief
sustained ;
His was the
shame and loss,
And He the
victory gained ;
The mighty work
was all His own,
Though we shall
share His glorious throne.
Song 81
verse 1
O Lord, Thy
glory we behold,
Though not with
mortal eyes ;
That glory, on
the Father's throne,
No human sight
descries.
Song 81
verse 2
'Tis thence – now
Christ is gone on high,
Redemption's
work complete –
The Spirit
brings His glory nigh,
To those who
for Him wait.
Song 81
verse 3
And we our
great Forerunner see,
In His own
glory there ;
Yet not
ashamed, with such as we,
As Firstborn,
all to share.
Song 81
verse 4
The Father's
love, the source of all,
Sweeter than
all it gives,
Shines on us
now without recall,
And lasts while
Jesus lives.
Song 81
verse 5
The new
creation's stainless joy
Gleams through
the present gloom ;
That world of
bliss without alloy,
The saint's
eternal home.
Song 82
verse 1
Jesus, Thou
alone art worthy
Ceaseless
praises to receive ;
For Thy love,
and grace, and goodness
Rise o'er all
our thoughts conceive.
Song 82
verse 2
With adoring
hearts, we render
Honour to Thy
precious name,
Overflowing
with Thy mercies,
Far and wide
Thy worth proclaim.
Song 82
verse 3
Praise Him !
praise Him ! praise the Saviour,
Saints, aloud
your voices raise !
Praise Him !
praise Him ! till in heaven
Perfected we'll
sing His praise.
Song 83
verse 1
Lord Jesus, how
our souls adore
That perfect
love of Thine !
We'd sing its
sweetness o'er and o'er,
Immeasurable,
divine.
Song 83
verse 2
We think of
Thee, God's blessed Son,
Whom heavenly
hosts obeyed,
Girding Thyself
to serve Thine own,
And like a
bondman made.
Song 83
verse 3
What deep
affections moved Thee here,
As Thou didst
seek Thy bride,
Joy of Thine
heart, to Thee how dear !
Love could not
be denied.
Song 83
verse 4
Thou gavest all
that love could give,
The goodly
pearl to gain ;
Thou gav'st Thy
life that we might live,
And Thou Thy
bride obtain.
Song 83
verse 5
Fruit of that
wondrous love of Thine,
We praise, we
worship Thee ;
Thy love
unsearchable, divine,
Our endless
song shall be.
Song 84
verse 1
We hear the
words of love ;
We gaze upon
the blood,
We see the
mighty sacrifice,
And we have
peace with God.
Song 84
verse 2
'Tis
everlasting peace,
Sure as the
Father's name ;
'Tis stable as
His steadfast throne,
For evermore
the same.
Song 84
verse 3
Our love is
ofttimes low ;
Our joy still
ebbs and flows ;
But peace with
Him remains the same,
No change the
Father knows.
Song 84
verse 4
We change — He
changes not,
Though changing
years roll by ;
His love, not
ours, the resting-place,
We on His truth
rely.
Song 84
verse 5
The cross still
stands unchanged,
Though heaven
is now His home ;
The mighty
stone is rolled away,
For He has left
the tomb.
Song 84
verse 6
That tomb has
now become
The grave of
all our woes ;
We know the Son
of God has come,
We know He died
and rose.
Song 84
verse 7
We know He
liveth now
At God's right
hand above ;
We know the
throne on which He sits,
We know His
truth and love.
Song 85
verse 1
O Lord, Thy
love's unbounded,
So full, so
vast, so free !
Our thoughts
are all confounded
Whene'er we
think of Thee :
For us Thou
cam'st from heaven,
For us to bleed
and die,
That, purchased
and forgiven,
We might ascend
on high.
Song 85
verse 2
But oh !
the hope of being
For ever with
the Lord,
The joyful hope
of seeing
That face for
us so marred !
It fills our
heart with comfort,
It fills our
lips with praise,
So that amidst
our sorrow
A joyful song
we raise.
Song 85
verse 3
O Lamb of God
we thank Thee,
We bless Thy
holy name ;
Thy love once
made Thee willing
To bear our sin
and shame.
And now Thy
love is waiting
Thy saints like
Thee to raise ;
Firstborn of
many brethren,
To Thee be all
the praise.
Song 86
verse 1
O Lord, Thou
now art seated,
Above the
heavens, on high,
(The gracious
work completed,
For which Thou
cam'st to die) ;
To Thee our
hearts are lifted,
While pilgrims
wandering here,
For Thou alone
art gifted
Our every
weight to bear.
Song 86
verse 2
We know, Lord,
Thou hast bought us,
And washed us
in Thy blood ;
We know Thy
grace has brought us
As kings and
priests to God.
We know that
that blest morning,
Long looked
for, draweth near,
When we, at Thy
returning,
In glory shall
appear.
Song 86
verse 3
O by Thy love
constrain us,
And fix our
hearts on Thee ;
Let nothing
henceforth pain us,
But that which
paineth Thee ;
Our joy, our
blest endeavour —
Through
suffering, conflict, shame, —
To serve Thee,
gracious Saviour,
And magnify Thy
name.
Song 87
verse 1
Jesus shall
reign where'er the sun
Doth his
successive journeys run ;
His kingdom stretch
from shore to shore,
Till moons
shall wax and wane no more.
Song 87
verse 2
To Him shall
endless prayer be made,
And praises
throng to crown His head ;
His Name like
sweet perfume shall rise
With every
morning sacrifice.
Song 87
verse 3
Blessings abound
where'er He reigns :
The prisoner
leaps to loose his chains,
The weary find
eternal rest,
And all the
sons of want are blest.
Song 87
verse 4
Let every
creature rise and bring
Peculiar
honours to the King ;
Angels, descend
with songs again
And, earth,
repeat the loud Amen.
Song 88
verse 1
O blessed
Saviour, is Thy love
So great, so
full, so free ?
Fain would we
have our thoughts, our hearts,
Our lives,
engaged with Thee.
Song 88
verse 2
We love Thee
for the glorious worth
Which in
Thyself we see ;
We love Thee
for that shameful cross,
Endured so
patiently.
Song 88
verse 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 ?
Song 88
verse 4
Though in the
very form of God,
With heavenly
glory crowned,
Thou didst a
servant's form assume,
Beset with
sorrow round.
Song 88
verse 5
Thou wouldst
like wretched man be made
In everything
but sin,
That we as like
Thee might become
As we unlike
had been :
Song 88
verse 6
Like Thee in
faith, in meekness, love,
In every
beauteous grace ;
From glory into
glory changed,
Till we behold
Thy face.
Song 88
verse 7
O Lord !
we treasure in our souls
The memory of
Thy love ;
And ever shall
Thy name to us
The sweetest
odour prove.
Song 89
verse 1
Blessed be God,
our God !
Who gave for us
His well-beloved Son,
The gift of
gifts, all other gifts in one —
Blessed be God,
our God !
Song 89
verse 2
What will He
not bestow,
Who freely gave
this mighty gift unbought,
Unmerited,
unheeded and unsought —
What will He
not bestow ?
Song 89
verse 3
He spared not
His Son !
'Tis this that
silences each rising fear ;
'Tis this that
bids the hard thought disappear —
He spared not
His Son !
Song 89
verse 4
Who shall
condemn us now ?
Since Christ
has died, and risen, and gone above,
For us to plead
at the right hand of Love,
Who shall
condemn us now ?
Song 89
verse 5
'Tis God that
justifies !
Who shall
recall the pardon or the grace,
Or who the
broken chain of guilt replace ?
'Tis God that
justifies !
Song 89
verse 6
The victory is
ours !
For us in might
came forth the Mighty One ;
For us He
fought the fight, the triumph won —
The victory is
ours !
Song 90
verse 1
That
pathway ! O let it be treasured,
For none ever
trod it before.
Those steps of
aloneness unmeasured !
Our spirits
must pause, and adore.
Song 90
verse 2
None, none had
been laid in that manger,
And none had
been laid in that grave
But Jesus, the
heavenly Stranger
Who came
wayward sinners to save.
Song 90
verse 3
Alone — in the
hall of decision,
His judgment
was taken away :
Alone — on the
cross of derision,
Of darkness,
distress and dismay.
Song 90
verse 4
Alone —
apprehended and taken,
While lovers
forsook Him and fled.
Alone — and completely
forsaken,
God's judgment
was poured on His head.
Song 90
verse 5
And yet 'twas
for us He endured it ;
Alone in
perfection was He :
Our blessing —
He only secured it,
By dying alone
on the tree.
Song 90
verse 6
Lord, Thou art
no longer deserted !
The Father is
sharing His throne
With Thee, who
our judgment endured
That we might
be never alone.
Song 90
verse 7
O love
unsurpassed and unbounded !
O love that
will ever endure
Until in the
glory surrounded
With those Thou
hast died to secure.
Song 91
verse 1
Oh, what a debt
we owe
To Him who shed
His blood,
And cleansed
our souls and gave us power
To stand before
His God !
Song 91
verse 2
Saviour and
Lord, we own
The riches of
Thy grace ;
For we can call
Thy God our God —
Can bow before
His face.
Song 91
verse 3
Thy holy
Father, too,
We worship as our
own,
Who gave with
Thee the Spirit's cry
To us His sons
foreknown.
Song 92
verse 1
Oh, the
wondrous joy of dwelling
Father, in Thy
house above !
Every feature
Christ reflecting,
And Thine own
surpassing love.
Song 92
verse 2
Thoughts divine
conceived in purpose,
There fulfilled
for Thy delight ;
All that shone
in Christ, once humbled,
There expands
in glory's light.
Song 92
verse 3
By the Spirit's
power is strengthened
Every eye on
Him to gaze ;
Every view of
Him unfolding
Wakes fresh
bursts of joyful praise !
Song 92
verse 4
Every circle
gathered round Thee
Yields of
Christ some beauteous ray ;
And for Thy
delight and pleasure
Shines
throughout the eternal day.
Song 92
verse 5
There Thy love
o'er all transcendent
Shall for ever
find its rest ;
While each
heart, its joy outpouring,
In that love is
ever blest.
Song 93
verse 1
The manner of
Thy mighty love,
Our Father, we
with joy behold ;
Thy gracious
name most gladly prove,
For we are
Thine, by love made bold.
Song 93
verse 2
Ah, had it been
Thy sovereign will
To give us but
a servant's place,
Such mercy
should each bosom fill
With lasting
praise, for all is grace.
Song 93
verse 3
But children
now, our God, are we,
And through Thy
favour dwell in love ;
Thy love is
sweet, and sweet will be
The Father's
house, our home above.
Song 93
verse 4
What we shall
be not yet appears,
But like the
Lord each child shall shine ;
Then till we
leave this vale of tears
Accept our
praise that we are Thine.
Song 94
verse 1
A Pilgrim
through this lonely world
The blessed
Saviour passed ;
A mourner
through His life was He,
The dying Lamb
at last.
Song 94
verse 2
That tender
heart which felt for all,
For all its
lifeblood gave ;
It found on
earth no resting-place
Save only in
the grave.
Song 94
verse 3
Such was our
Lord ; and shall we fear
The cross with
all its scorn,
Or court a
faithless evil world
That wreathed
His brow with thorn ?
Song 94
verse 4
No, facing all
its frowns or smiles,
Like Him,
obedient still,
We homeward
press through storm or calm
To yon
celestial hill.
Song 94
verse 5
Dead to the
world with Him who died
To win our
hearts, our love,
We, risen with
our Lord and Head
In spirit dwell
above.
Song 95
verse 1
Break forth and
sing the song
Of glory to the
Lamb ;
Wake every
heart and every tongue,
To praise the
Saviour's name.
Song 95
verse 2
Sing of His
dying love ;
Sing of His
rising power ;
Sing how He
intercedes above
For those whose
sins He bore.
Song 95
verse 3
Sing on your
heavenly road,
Ye sons of
glory, sing ;
To the ascended
Lamb of God,
Your cheerful
praises bring.
Song 95
verse 4
Soon shall we
hear Him say,
"Ye
ransomed pilgrims, come ;"
Soon will He
call us hence away,
And take us to
His home.
Song 95
verse 5
Then shall each
raptured tongue
His fullest
praise proclaim ;
And sweeter
voices wake the song
Of glory to the
Lamb.
Song 96
verse 1
The Saviour
lives, no more to die ;
He lives, our
Head, enthroned on high ;
He lives
triumphant o'er the grave ;
He lives
eternally to save.
Song 96
verse 2
He lives to
still His people's fears ;
He lives to
wipe away their tears ;
He went their
mansions to prepare ;
He comes to
bring them safely there.
Song 96
verse 3
Then let our
souls in Him rejoice,
And sing His
praise with cheerful voice,
Our doubts and
fears for ever gone,
For Christ is
on the Father's throne.
Song 96
verse 4
The chief of
sinners He receives ;
His saints He
loves and never leaves :
He'll guard us
safe from every ill,
And all His
promises fulfil.
Song 96
verse 5
Abundant grace
will He afford,
Till we are
present with the Lord ;
And prove what
we have sung before,
That Jesus
lives for evermore.
Song 97
verse 1
Blest be the
God and Father
Of Jesus Christ
the Son,
Who chose us
for all blessing
Ere time had
yet begun,
That we
redeemed — His children —
Might dwell
with Him above,
And know the
depth and fullness
Of His
unbounded love,
Song 97
verse 2
Where all those
deep affections,
Which fill the
Father's heart,
Shall find
their satisfaction,
Their joy to us
impart ;
Where we, His
throne surrounding,
Shall Abba,
Father, say,
Within those
many mansions,
Prepared for
that day.
Song 97
verse 3
E'en whilst we
here are waiting
His rest on
high to share,
We know our
blest relation
As children to
Him there ;
And by His
Spirit's leading,
We Abba,
Father, cry ;
With ever- growing
longing
We seek our
home on high.
Song 98
verse 1
Blest be the
God and Father
Of Jesus Christ
the Son,
Who chose us
for all blessing
Ere time had
yet begun,
That we
redeemed — His children —
Might dwell
with Him above,
And know the
depth and fullness
Of His
unbounded love,
Song 98
verse 2
Where all those
deep affections,
Which fill the
Father's heart,
Shall find
their satisfaction,
Their joy to us
impart ;
Where we, His
throne surrounding,
Shall Abba,
Father, say,
Within those
many mansions,
Prepared for
that day.
Song 98
verse 3
E'en whilst we
here are waiting
His rest on
high to share,
We know our
blest relation
As children to
Him there ;
And by His
Spirit's leading,
We Abba,
Father, cry ;
With
ever-growing longing
We seek our
home on high.
Song 99
verse 1
On Christ
salvation rests secure ;
The Rock of
ages must endure ;
Nor can that
faith be overthrown
Which rests
upon the "Living Stone".
Song 99
verse 2
No other hope
shall intervene :
To Him we look,
on Him we lean ;
Other foundations
we disown,
And build on
Christ, the "Living Stone".
Song 99
verse 3
In Him it is
ordained to raise
A temple to the
Father's praise,
Composed of all
the saints who own
No Saviour but
the "Living Stone".
Song 99
verse 4
View the vast
building, see it rise ;
The work how
great, the plan how wise !
Oh, wondrous
fabric, power unknown
That rears it
on the "Living Stone" !
Song 99
verse 5
But most adore
His precious name,
His glory and
His grace proclaim :
For us,
condemned, despised, undone,
He gave Himself,
the "Living Stone".
Song 100
verse 1
Now in a song
of grateful praise,
To our dear
Lord the voice we'll raise ;
With all His
saints we'll join to tell,
That Jesus hath
done all things well.
Song 100
verse 2
All worlds His
glorious power confess ;
His wisdom all
His works express ;
But, oh His
love ! — what tongue can tell ?
For Jesus hath
done all things well.
Song 100
verse 3
And since our
souls have known His love,
What mercies
has He made us prove ;
Mercies which
all our praise excel,
For Jesus hath
done all things well.
Song 100
verse 4
And when on
that bright day we rise,
And join the
anthems of the skies,
In ceaseless
song this note shall swell,
That Jesus hath
done all things well.
Song 101
verse 1
It is not with
uncertain step
We tread our
desert way ;
A well-known
voice has called us up
To everlasting
day.
Song 101
verse 2
The voice of
Him who here has trod
Alone the
trackless way,
(And marked the
road which leads to God),
Where once we,
lost, did stray.
Song 101
verse 3
He leaves us
not alone to trace
Our path across
the waste ;
But leads us
still, with living grace,
Homeward,
whereto we haste.
Song 101
verse 4
See ! open
stands the heavenly door,
Whence glory
shines below,
To light the
way He's gone before,
The coming
bliss to show.
Song 101
verse 5
In patience
then we tread the road —
Our faith and
courage tried —
And trust the
love which bears each load,
Our hearts from
grief to hide.
Song 101
verse 6
Of Him and His
love will we sing,
His praises our
tongues shall employ,
Till heavenly
anthems we bring
In yonder
bright regions of joy.
Song 102
verse 1
Come, let us
join our cheerful songs,
And thus
approach the throne :
Had we ten
thousand thousand tongues,
Our theme of
joy's but one :
Song 102
verse 2
Worthy the Lamb
that's gone on high
To be exalted
thus :
Worthy the Lamb
that died, we cry,
For He was
slain for us.
Song 102
verse 3
Jesus is worthy
to receive
Honour and
power divine :
And blessings
more than we can give
Be, Lord, for
ever Thine.
Song 102
verse 4
Soon shall the
saints, exalted high,
A glorious
anthem raise ;
And all that
dwell beneath the sky
Speak forth
Thine endless praise.
Song 102
verse 5
Redeemed
creation join in one
To bless the
sacred name
Of Him that
sits upon the throne,
And to adore
the Lamb.
Song 103
verse 1
We'll sing of
the Shepherd that died
That died for
the sake of the flock ;
His love to the
utmost was tried,
But firmly
endured as a rock.
Song 103
verse 2
When blood from
a victim must flow,
This Shepherd,
by pity, was led
To stand between
us and the foe,
And willingly
died in our stead.
Song 103
verse 3
Our song then
for ever shall be
Of the Shepherd
who gave Himself thus :
No subject's so
glorious as He,
No theme so
affecting to us.
Song 104
verse 1
Abba, Father,
thus we call Thee,
(Hallowed name !)
from day to day.
'Tis Thy
children's right to know Thee,
None but
children, Abba say.
This high
honour we inherit,
Thy free gift
through Jesus' blood ;
God the Spirit
with our spirit
Witnesseth
we're sons of God.
Song 104
verse 2
Abba's purpose
gave us being
When in Christ,
in that vast plan,
Abba chose the
saints for glory
Long before the
world began ;
O what love the
Father bore us !
O how precious
in His sight !
When He gave
the church to Jesus,
Jesus, His
whole soul's delight !
Song 104
verse 3
Though our
nature's fall in Adam
Seemed to shut
us out from God,
Thus it was His
counsel brought us
Nearer still
through Jesus' blood ;
For in Him we
found redemption,
Grace and glory
in the Son ;
Oh ! the
height and depth of mercy !
Christ and we,
through grace, are one.
Song 105
verse 1
Glory, glory
everlasting
Be to Him who
bore the cross,
Who redeemed
our souls by tasting
Death, the
death deserved by us !
Spread His
glory
Who redeemed
His people thus.
Song 105
verse 2
His is love,
'tis love unbounded,
Without
measure, without end ;
Human thought
is here confounded ;
'Tis too vast
to comprehend :
Praise the
Saviour,
Magnify the
sinner's Friend.
Song 105
verse 3
While we tell
the wondrous story
Of the
Saviour's cross and shame,
Sing we,
Everlasting glory
Be to God and
to the Lamb.
Hallelujah,
Give ye glory
to His name.
Song 106
verse 1
O Jesus, Lord,
'tis joy to know
Thy path is
o'er of shame and woe
For us so
meekly trod :
All finished is
Thy work of toil ;
Thou reapest
now the fruit and spoil,
Exalted by our
God.
Song 106
verse 2
Thy holy head,
once bound with thorns,
The crown of
glory now adorns,
Thy seat, the
Father's throne :
O Lord, e'en
now we sing Thy praise,
Ours the
eternal song to raise,
Worthy the Lord
alone.
Song 106
verse 3
As Head for us
Thou sittest there,
Thy members
here the blessing share,
Of all Thou
dost receive :
Thy wisdom,
riches, honours, powers,
Thy boundless
love has all made ours,
Who in Thy name
believe.
Song 106
verse 4
We triumph in
Thy triumphs, Lord ;
Thy joys our
deepest joys afford,
The fruit of
love divine :
While
sorrowing, suffering, toiling here,
How does the
thought our spirits cheer,
The throne of
glory's Thine !
Song 107
verse 1
O Lord, 'tis
joy to look above
And see Thee on
the throne,
To search the
heights and depths of love
Which Thou to
us hast shown ;
Song 107
verse 2
To look beyond
the long dark night
And hail the
coming day,
When Thou to
all Thy saints in light
Thy glories
wilt display.
Song 107
verse 3
And oh, 'tis
joy the path to trace
By Thee so
meekly trod,
Learning of
Thee to walk in grace
And fellowship
with God.
Song 107
verse 4
Joy to confess
Thy blessed name,
The virtues of
Thy blood
And to the
wearied heart proclaim,
Behold the Lamb
of God.
Song 108
verse 1
King of kings
and Lord of lords,
Oh, how rich
these glorious words !
Titles high and
boundless fame
Now enhance the
Saviour's name.
Song 108
verse 2
He who once was
crowned with thorn
Crowns of glory
now dorn ;
Jesus sits upon
the throne,
Hosts His
triumph gladly own !
Song 108
verse 3
Blessed 'tis to
see Him there,
Centre of that
glory fair ;
Thus our
highest praise we bring,
Falling
prostrate, worshipping.
Song 108
verse 4
Now within the
Father's house
Well we know
Him and rejoice ;
Glad that He,
e'en now, should share
All the
Father's glory there.
Song 108
verse 5
Soon will He
appear again,
Then His saints
with Him shall reign ;
Echo far the
glorious words :
King of kings
and Lord of lords.
Song 109
verse 1
Jesus !
That name is Love,
Jesus, our Lord !
Jesus, all
names above,
Jesus, the Lord !
Thou, Lord, our
all must be ;
Nothing that's
good have we,
Nothing apart
from Thee,
Jesus, our Lord !
Song 109
verse 2
As Son of man
it was,
Jesus, the Lord !
Thou gav'st Thy
life for us,
Jesus, our Lord !
Great was
indeed Thy love,
All other loves
above,
Love Thou didst
dearly prove,
Jesus, our Lord !
Song 109
verse 3
Righteous alone
in Thee,
Jesus, the Lord !
Thou wilt a
refuge be,
Jesus, our Lord !
Whom then have
we to fear,
What trouble,
grief, or care,
Since Thou art
ever near,
Jesus, our Lord !
Song 109
verse 4
Soon Thou wilt
come again,
Jesus, the Lord !
We shall be
happy then,
Jesus, our Lord !
When Thine own
face we see,
Then shall we
like Thee be,
Then evermore
with Thee,
Jesus, our Lord !
Song 110
verse 1
O God, Thou now
hast glorified
Thy holy, blest
eternal Son ;
The Nazarene,
the Crucified,
Now sits
exalted on Thy throne :
To Him in faith
we cry aloud,
Worthy art
Thou, O Lamb of God.
Song 110
verse 2
Father, Thy
holy name we bless,
And gladly hail
Thy just decree
That every
tongue shall soon confess
Jesus the Lord
of all to be ;
But oh, Thy
grace has taught us now
Before that
Lord the knee to bow.
Song 110
verse 3
Him as our Lord
we gladly own :
To Him alone we
now would live,
Who bowed our
hearts before Thy throne,
And gave us all
that love could give.
Our willing
voices cry aloud,
Worthy art
Thou, O Lamb of God.
Song 111
verse 1
By Thee, O God,
invited,
We look unto
the Son,
In whom Thy
soul delighted,
Who all Thy will
hath done ;
And by the one
chief treasure
Thy bosom
freely gave,
Thine own pure
love we measure,
Thy willing
mind to save.
Song 111
verse 2
O God of mercy —
Father !
The one
unchanging claim,
The brightest
hopes, we gather
From Christ's
most precious name :
What always
sounds so sweetly
In Thine
unwearied ear,
Has freed our
souls completely
From all our
sinful fear.
Song 111
verse 3
The trembling
sinner feareth
That God can
ne'er forget,
But one full
payment cleareth
His memory of
all debt.
When nought beside
could free us
Or set our
souls at large,
Thy holy work,
Lord Jesus,
Secured a full
discharge.
Song 111
verse 4
No wrath God's
heart retaineth
To us-ward who
believe ;
No dread in
ours remaineth
As we His love
receive ;
Returning sons
He kisses,
And with His
robe invests ;
His perfect
love dismisses
All terror from
our breasts.
Song 112
verse 1
"Buried
with Christ," and raised with Him too ;
What is there
left for me to do ?
Simply to cease
from struggling and strife,
Simply to
"walk in newness of life."
Glory be to
God.
Song 112
verse 2
"Risen
with Christ," my glorious Head ;
Holiness, now,
the pathway I tread,
Beautiful
thought, while walking therein :
"He that
is dead is freed from sin."
Glory be to
God.
Song 112
verse 3
"Living
with Christ," who "dieth no more,"
Following
Christ, who goeth before,
I am from
bondage utterly freed,
Reckoning self
as "dead indeed."
Glory be to
God.
Song 112
verse 4
Living for
Christ, my members I yield,
Servants to
God, for evermore sealed,
"Not under
law," I'm now "under grace,"
Sin is
dethroned, and Christ takes its place.
Glory be to
God.
Song 112
verse 5
Growing in
Christ ; no more shall be named
Things of which
now I'm truly ashamed,
"Fruit
unto holiness" will I bear,
Life evermore,
the end I shall share.
Glory be to
God.
Song 113
verse 1
'Twas not for
our great love to Thee
That Thou didst
send Thy Son ;
That spring of
love, O God, we see
In Thee alone.
Song 113
verse 2
What love, Lord
Jesus, brought Thee down
Our hardened
hearts to win,
To be despised
and spit upon,
And bear our
sin !
Song 113
verse 3
The sins of
many Thou didst bear,
Of all who look
to Thee,
When God, Thy
God, forsook Thee there,
On Calvary's
tree.
Song 113
verse 4
'Tis finished !
loud triumphant cry,
Ere Thou didst
yield Thy breath !
The veil was
rent, and we draw nigh
To God, through
death.
Song 113
verse 5
That glorious
resurrection morn
Bids doubts for
ever cease,
For far and
wide the news is borne
Of perfect
peace.
Song 113
verse 6
Yes, peace !
since every claim is met,
Lord Jesus, by
Thy blood,
And Thou
"our peace" art risen and set
On high by God.
Song 113
verse 7
Thy grace, O
Lord, alone revealed
That wondrous
heart of Thine ;
We thank Thee,
and ourselves we yield
To love divine.
Song 114
verse 1
The holiest we
enter
In perfect
peace with God ;
Through whom we
found our centre
In Jesus and
His blood :
Though great
may be our dullness
In thought and
word and deed,
We glory in the
fullness
Of Him that
meets our need.
Song 114
verse 2
Much incense is
ascending
Before the
eternal throne ;
God graciously
is bending
To hear each
feeble one ;
To all our
prayers and praises
Christ adds His
sweet perfume,
And He the
censer raises
These odours to
consume.
Song 114
verse 3
O God, we come
with singing,
Because Thy
great High Priest
Our names to
Thee is bringing,
Nor e'er
forgets the least :
For us He wears
the mitre,
Where
"Holiness" shines bright ;
For us His
robes are whiter
Than heaven's
unsullied light.
Song 115
verse 1
Head of the
Church, Thy body,
O Christ, the
great salvation,
Sweet to the
saints
It is to think
Of all Thine
exaltation ;
All power's to
Thee committed,
All power on
earth, in heaven ;
To Thee a name
Of widest fame
Above all
glory's given.
Song 115
verse 2
With Thee
believers raised
In Thee on high
are seated ;
All guilty
once,
But cleared by
Thee ;
Redemption-toil
completed.
And when Thou,
Lord and Saviour,
Shalt come
again in glory,
There by Thy
side
Thy spotless
bride
Shall crown the
wondrous story.
Song 115
verse 3
At length, the
final kingdom
No bound, no
end possessing,
When heaven and
earth
God all in all
Shall fill with
largest blessing :
All root of
evil banished ;
No breath of
sin to wither ;
On earth, on
high,
Nought else but
joy
And blissful
peace for ever.
Song 116
verse 1
O render thanks
to God above,
The fountain of
eternal love,
Whose mercy
firm through ages past
Hath stood, and
doth for ever last.
Song 116
verse 2
The Father's
boundless love we sing,
The fountain
whence our blessings spring ;
How great the
depth, how high it flows,
No saint can
tell, no angel knows.
Song 116
verse 3
Its length and
breadth no eye can trace,
No thought
explore the bounds of grace ;
The love that
saved our souls from hell
Transcends the
creature's power to tell.
Song 117
verse 1
Not to ourselves
we owe
That we, O God,
are Thine ;
Jesus the Lord,
our night broke through,
And gave us
light divine.
Song 117
verse 2
The Father's
grace and love
This blessed
mercy gave,
And Jesus left
the throne above,
His wandering
sheep to save.
Song 117
verse 3
No more the
heirs of wrath —
Thy sovereign
love we see ;
And, Father, in
confiding faith
We cast our
souls on Thee.
Song 117
verse 4
Our hearts look
up to see
The glory Thou
hast given,
In spirit dwell
where we shall be
With Christ,
Thine heirs, in heaven.
Song 117
verse 5
With the
adopted band
Soon shall we
see Him there :
With them and
Him in glory stand,
And in His
honours share.
Song 118
verse 1
O Thou who
didst Thy glory leave,
Rebellious
sinners to retrieve
From nature's
deadly fall !
Thou, Thou hast
bought us with a price,
Our sins
against us ne'er can rise,
For Thou hast
borne them all.
Song 118
verse 2
See Him for our
transgressions given ;
See the blest
Lamb of God from heaven,
For us, His
foes, expire ;
Rejoice !
rejoice ! the tidings hear !
He bore, that
we might never bear,
'Gainst sin,
God's righteous ire.
Song 118
verse 3
Ye saints, the
Man of sorrows bless,
The Lord, for
your unrighteousness
Deputed to
atone ;
Praise, till
with all the ransomed throng
Ye sing the
never-ending song,
And sit upon
His throne.
Song 119
verse 1
O Head once
full of bruises,
So full of pain
and scorn,
'Mid other sore
abuses
Mocked with a
crown of thorn ;
O Head !
e'en now surrounded
With brightest
majesty,
In death once
bowed and wounded
On the accursed
tree.
Song 119
verse 2
Thou
Countenance transcendent !
Thou
life-creating Sun !
To worlds on
Thee dependent —
Yet bruised and
spit upon :
O Lord! what
Thee tormented
Was our sin's
heavy load,
We had the debt
augmented
Which Thou
didst pay in blood.
Song 119
verse 3
We give Thee
thanks unfeigned,
O Saviour !
Friend in need,
For what Thy
soul sustained
When Thou for
us didst bleed ;
Grant us to
lean unshaken
Upon Thy
faithfulness ;
Until to glory
taken,
We see Thee
face to face.
Song 120
verse 1
O Thou who
didst Thy glory leave,
Rebellious
sinners to retrieve
From nature's
deadly fall !
Thou, Thou hast
bought us with a price,
Our sins
against us ne'er can rise,
For Thou hast
borne them all.
Song 120
verse 2
See Him for our
transgressions given ;
See the blest
Lamb of God from heaven,
For us, His
foes, expire ;
Rejoice!
rejoice! the tidings hear !
He bore, that
we might never bear,
'Gainst sin,
God's righteous ire.
Song 120
verse 3
Ye saints, the
Man of sorrows bless,
The Lord, for
your unrighteousness
Deputed to
atone ;
Praise, till
with all the ransomed throng
Ye sing the
never-ending song,
And sit upon
His throne.
Song 121
verse 1
Glory unto
Jesus be !
From the curse
who set us free ;
All our guilt
on Him was laid ;
He the ransom
fully paid.
Song 121
verse 2
All that
blessed work is done ;
God's
well-pleased with His Son ;
He has raised
Him from the dead,
Set Him over
all as Head.
Song 121
verse 3
This we know,
and cease to mourn,
Patient wait
His sure return :
For His saints
with Him shall reign —
Come, Lord
Jesus, come ! Amen !
Song 122
verse 1
O Lord, the
bright and blessed hope,
That's cheered
us through the past,
Of full eternal
rest in Thee,
Will be
fulfilled at last.
Song 122
verse 2
Undazzled by
the glorious light
Which shines
upon Thy face,
We'll see Thee
then without a cloud —
Brought there
through boundless grace.
Song 122
verse 3
Praise, endless
praise, alone becomes
That bright and
blessed place,
Where every eye
beholds unveiled,
The mysteries
of Thy grace.
Song 122
verse 3
Past conflict
then; O Lord, 'tis ours
Through
everlasting days,
To sing our
song of victory there,
And only live
to praise.
Song 123
verse 1
Jesus, spotless
Lamb of God,
Thou hast
bought us with Thy blood;
We are Thine,
and Thine alone,
This we gladly,
fully own.
Song 123
verse 2
Help us to
confess Thy name,
Bear with joy
the cross and shame ;
Only seek to
follow Thee,
Though reproach
our portion be.
Song 123
verse 3
When we are to
glory come,
And have
reached our heavenly home,
Louder then each
lip shall own,
We are Thine
and Thine alone.
Song 124
verse 1
Jesus, our
Lord, Thou Morning Star,
How well we
know Thy name,
Jesus, the
Lord, the Crucified,
In glory still
the same.
Song 124
verse 2
Jesus, the One
who left the throne
To save a
ruined race,
Thy love and
lowliness still shine
Upon Thy
glorious face.
Song 124
verse 3
Jesus, the One
who trod the earth,
The lowly,
subject One,
Obedience unto
death was Thine,
God's
well-beloved Son !
Song 124
verse 4
Jesus, what
memories thrill our hearts
Of Thy blest
footprints here,
While now to
heaven our eyes we turn
And gaze upon
Thee there !
Song 124
verse 5
Jesus, our
Saviour, quickly come !
That we may
with Thee be ;
Heaven's
morning breaks and glory dawns,
When Thy blest
face we see.
Song 125
verse 1
Behold the Lamb
with glory crowned,
To Him all
power be given ;
No place too
high for Him is found,
No place too
high in heaven.
Song 125
verse 2
He fills, the
throne above,
Its rights to
Him belong ;
The object of
His Father's love,
Theme of the
ransomed's song.
Song 125
verse 3
Though high yet
He accepts the praise
His people
offer here ;
The faintest,
feeblest cry they raise
Will reach the
Saviour's ear.
Song 125
verse 4
This song be
ours, and this alone,
To celebrate
the name
Of Him that
sits upon the throne,
And to exalt
the Lamb.
Song 125
verse 5
To Him whom men
despise and slight
To Him be glory
given ;
The crown is
His, and His by right
The highest
place in heaven.
Song 126
verse 1
Jesus, our
Lord, with joy we wait
To see Thy
blessed face ;
Though weak on
earth our present state,
Our strength is
in Thy grace.
Song 126
verse 2
Thy precious
blood shed by that grace
To God has made
us nigh,
And sanctified
us for the place
Of worshippers
on high.
Song 126
verse 3
By faith within
the veil we're led,
Where Thou hast
entered in ;
"Not made
with hands" the courts we tread,
Nor e'er
defiled by sin.
Song 126
verse 4
Responsive to
the Father's heart
In worship we
would bow ;
Thy Spirit doth
this grace impart
To those who
trust Thee now.
Song 126
verse 5
The way, the
worshippers, the place,
All sanctified
by blood;
Thy Spirit
leads — sweet fruit of grace —
In worship now
to God.
Song 127
verse 1
Come, saints,
your grateful voices raise
For grace's
boundless store;
Dwell on the Lord's
unchanging love,
And praise Him
evermore.
Song 127
verse 2
His mercy, who
our ransom paid,
And all our
sorrows bore,
Sing with a
note of loftiest joy,
And praise Him
evermore.
Song 127
verse 3
Soon the
redeeming Lord shall come,
And we whose
sins He bore
Shall see the
glories of the Lamb
And praise Him
evermore.
Song 127
verse 4
Then endless
praise our lips shall move,
And joy our
spirits fill ;
The objects of
His love divine,
Oh who that joy
can tell ?
Song 128
verse 1
See mercy,
mercy from on high
Descend to
rebels doomed to die ;
'Tis mercy
free, which knows no bound ;
How sweet, how
pleasant is the sound !
Song 128
verse 2
Soon as the
reign of sin began,
The light of
mercy dawned on man,
When God
announced the blessed news,
"The
woman's Seed thy head shall bruise."
Song 128
verse 3
Brightly it
beamed on men forlorn,
When Christ,
the holy child, was born;
And brighter
still in splendour shone
When Jesus, dying, cried, « 'Tis done . »
Song 128
verse 4
Complete in
power when He arose,
And burst the
bands of all His foes,
Then captive
led captivity,
And took for us
His seat on high.
Song 128
verse 5
Till we around
Him there shall throng,
This mercy
shall be still our song:
For God shall
every scheme confound
Of all that
seek its course to bound.
Song 129
verse 1
Awake each soul !
awake each tongue !
The subject is
divine ;
The Saviour's
love demands our song ;
Let all His
people join.
Song 129
verse 2
This Saviour is
the Mighty God,
The God of
heaven above ;
Revealed in
flesh, He shed His blood,
Blest proof of
endless love.
Song 129
verse 3
O Lord, Thy
love exceeds our thought ;
But this at
least we see,
The soul that
knows Thy love is taught
To value nought
but Thee.
Song 129
verse 4
And though Thy
love be faintly seen
What's seen
demands our praise ;
Without it,
Lord, we still had been
Ensnared in
Satan's ways.
Song 130
verse 1
With Christ our
theme begins,
The Lord of
truth and love ;
When He had
purged our sins,
He took His
seat above.
Our hearts are
glad ; we raise the voice ;
The Lord has
made us to rejoice.
Song 130
verse 2
His power can
never fail,
He'll rule o'er
earth in heaven ;
The keys of
death and hell
To Him alone
are given.
Our hearts are
glad ; we raise the voice ;
The Lord has
made us to rejoice.
Song 130
verse 3
And sweet that
blessed hope :
Je -- sus the
Lord shall come
And take His
brethren up
E'en to His
Father's home.
Our hearts are
glad; we raise the voice;
The Lord has
made us to rejoice.
Song 131
verse 1
Praise we to
the Father give,
God in whom we
move and live ;
Children's
praise He loves to hear ;
Children's
songs delight His ear.
Song 131
verse 2
Praise we to
the First-born bring,
Christ the
Prophet, Priest and King ;
Glad we raise
our sweetest strain
To the Lamb
that once was slain.
Song 131
verse 3
Praises for the
Holy Ghost
Sent from
heaven at Pentecost ;
'Tis through
Him alone we live,
And the
precious truth receive.
Song 131
verse 4
Blest our
portion, thus to be
Glorying in the
Trinity ;
For the Gospel
from above,
For the word
that God is love.
Song 132
verse 1
The person of
the Christ,
Enfolding every
grace,
Once slain, but
now alive again,
In heaven
demands our praise.
Song 132
verse 2
Gladly of Him
we sing,
Since we with
Him are dead ;
Our life is hid
with Christ in God,
In Christ the
church's Head.
Song 132
verse 3
The heavens are
opened now !
Sound it
through earth abroad ;
And we, by
faith in heaven behold
Jesus the
Christ our Lord.
Song 133
verse 1
Let saints on
earth their anthems raise,
Who taste the
Saviour's grace ;
Sing, till in
heaven they tune His praise,
And hail Him
Prince of Peace.
Song 133
verse 2
Praise Him who
laid His glory by,
For man's
rebellious race ;
Praise Him who
stooped to bleed and die,
And hail Him
Prince of Peace.
Song 133
verse 3
We soon shall
reach the blissful shore,
And view His
glorious face,
His name for
ever to adore,
And hail Him
Prince of Peace.
Song 134
verse 1
Lord of glory,
we adore Thee,
Christ of God,
ascended high ;
Heart and soul
we bow before Thee,
Glorious now
beyond the sky ;
Thee we worship,
Thee we praise,
Excellent in
all Thy ways.
Song 134
verse 2
Mighty King,
with glory crowned,
Rightful Heir
and Lord of all :
Once rejected,
scorned, disowned,
E'en by those
Thou cam'st to call :
Thee we honour,
Thee adore,
Glorious now
and evermore.
Song 134
verse 3
Lord of life,
to death made subject,
Blesser, yet a
curse once made ;
Of Thy Father's
heart the object,
Yet in depths
of anguish laid :
Thee we gaze
on,
Thee recall,
Bearing here
our sorrows all.
Song 134
verse 4
Royal robes
shall soon invest Thee,
Royal splendours
crown Thy brow ;
Christ of God,
our souls confess Thee
King and
Sovereign even now ;
Thee we reverence,
Thee obey,
Own Thee Lord
and Christ alway.
Song 135
verse 1
We joy in our
God, and we sing of that love,
So sovereign
and free, which did His heart move,
When lost our
condition, all ruined, undone,
He saw with
compassion, and spared not His Son.
Song 135
verse 2
His Son, His de
-- light, His loved one He gave
The wrath to
endure, by suffering to save ;
Sure love so a
-- mazing, unmeasured, untold,
Since Him it
hath given, no good will withhold.
Song 135
verse 3
We praise then
our God ; how rich is His grace !
We were far
from Him once, estranged from His face.
By blood we are
purchased, are cleansed and made nigh,
And blessed in
His presence, in Jesus on high.
Song 136
verse 1
The veil is
rent : our souls draw near
Unto the throne
of grace ;
The merits of
the Lord appear,
They fill the
holy place.
Song 136
verse 2
His precious
blood avails us there
As we approach
the throne ;
And His own
wounds in heaven declare
The atoning
work is done.
Song 136
verse 3
'Tis finished :
here our souls have rest,
His work can
never fail ;
By Him, our
Sacrifice and Priest,
We pass within
the veil.
Song 136
verse 4
Within the
holiest of all,
Cleansed by His
precious blood,
Before the
throne we prostrate fall,
And worship
Thee, O God.
Song 136
verse 5
Boldly the
heart and voice we raise,
His blood, His
name, our plea ;
Assured our
prayers and songs of praise
Ascend, by
Christ, to Thee.
Song 137
verse 1
Jesus, Lord, we
joy before Thee,
Sorrow's night
is o'er ;
Foes are
vanquished, Thou art Victor,
Evermore.
Song 137
verse 2
All the way Thy
love has trodden,
We with
gladness trace,
All Thy
faithfulness and meekness,
All Thy grace.
Song 137
verse 3
To Thy Father's
will obedient,
Thou to death
hast been,
Righteousness
and peace embracing
There are seen.
Song 137
verse 4
'Tis as risen,
Lord, we hail Thee,
Shadows passed
away ;
Love has
triumphed ; Thou hast made us
Thine for aye.
Song 137
verse 5
Now the
Father's name Thou tellest ;
Joy is in Thine
heart ;
In His love in
which Thou dwellest
We have part.
Song 137
verse 6
Joy we thus in
Thee, Lord Jesus,
Gladly praising
Thee ;
Thine the
triumph, Thine the glory
Ever be.
Song 138
verse 1
O Christ, what
burdens bowed Thy head !
Our load was
laid on Thee ;
Thou stoodest
in the sinner's stead –
To bear all ill
for me.
A victim led,
Thy blood was shed;
Now there's no
load for me.
Song 138
verse 2
Death and the
curse were in our cup –
O Christ, 'twas
full for Thee !
But Thou hast
drained the last dark drop,
'Tis empty now
for me.
That bitter cup
– love drank it up ;
Left but the
love for me.
Song 138
verse 3
Jehovah lifted
up His rod –
O Christ, it
fell on Thee !
Thou wast
forsaken of Thy God ;
No distance now
for me.
Thy blood
beneath that rod has flowed :
Thy bruising
healeth me.
Song 138
verse 4
The tempest's
awful voice was heard,
O Christ, it
broke on Thee ;
Thy open bosom
was my ward ;
It bore the
storm for me.
Thy form was
scarred, Thy visage marred ;
Now cloudless
peace for me.
Song 138
verse 5
For me, Lord
Jesus, Thou hast died,
And I have died
in Thee ;
Thou'rt risen :
my bands are all untied ;
And now Thou
liv'st in me.
The Father's
face of radiant grace
Shines now in
light on me.
Song 139
verse 1
This world is a
wilderness wide ;
We have nothing
to seek or to choose ;
We've no
thought in the waste to abide ;
We've nought to
regret nor to lose.
Song 139
verse 2
The Lord is
Himself gone before,
He has marked
out the path that we tread ;
It's as sure as
the love we adore,
We have nothing
to fear nor to dread.
Song 139
verse 3
There is but
that one in the waste,
Which His
footsteps have marked as His own ;
And we follow
in diligent haste
To the seats
where He's put on His crown.
Song 139
verse 4
For the path
where our Saviour is gone
Has led up to
His Father and God,
To the place
where He's now on the throne ;
And His
strength shall be ours on the road.
Song 139
verse 5
And with Him
shall our rest be on high,
When in
holiness bright we sit down,
In the joy of
His love ever nigh,
In the peace
that His presence shall crown.
Song 139
verse 6
'Tis the
treasure we've found in His love,
That has made
us now pilgrims below,
And 'tis there,
when we reach Him above,
As we're known,
all His fulness we'll know.
Song 139
verse 7
And, Saviour,
'tis Thee from on high,
We await till
the time Thou shalt come,
To take those
Thou hast led by Thine eye
To Thyself in
Thy heavenly home.
Song 139
verse 8
Till then 'tis
the path Thou hast trod,
Our delight and
our comfort shall be ;
We're content
with Thy staff and Thy rod,
Till with Thee
all Thy glory we see.
Song 140
verse 1
O Lord, our
hearts are waiting
The archangel's
heaven --- sent cry,
Which wakes the
church now sleeping,
And to Thee
brings them nigh.
When we, with
them ascending,
Shall meet Thee
in the air,
To gaze upon
Thy glory,
And all Thy
likeness bear.
Song 140
verse 2
O hour, for
which in patience
Thou'st waited
through the night,
Whilst we Thy
saints were gathered,
And brought
into the light ;
Then, then, the
church completed,
God makes no
more delay ;
O Lord, with
shouts of triumph,
We pass into
the day.
Song 140
verse 3
O hour of
richest blessing,
When brought to
Thee so nigh,
To be Thy joy
for ever,
We share Thy
throne on high ;
To rest in all
that brightness,
And ever there
abide ;
To find Thy
heart delighting
In us, Thy
ransomed bride.
Song 140
verse 4
O blessed,
coming Saviour,
Speak, then,
the joyous word,
To which our
hearts responding —
"For ever
with the Lord",
For ever with
Thee, Saviour —
We evermore
shall be,
In deepest,
fullest blessing
For ever one
with Thee.
Song 141
verse 1
In deep,
eternal counsel,
Before the
world was made,
Before its deep
foundations
On nothingness
were laid,
God purposed us
for blessing,
And chose us in
His Son,
To Him to be
conformed,
When here our
course was run.
Song 141
verse 2
In present,
blest acceptance
In Him who came
to die ;
In Him who now
is seated
At God's right
hand on high ;
In grace which
is unchanging,
We stand from
day to day,
And prove the
boundless mercies
Which strew our
pilgrim way.
Song 141
verse 3
And when the
day of glory
Shall burst
upon this scene,
Dispelling all
the darkness
Which deep'ning
still had been ;
Oh, then He'll
come in brightness,
Whom every eye
shall see,
Arrayed in
power and glory ;
And we shall
with Him be.
Song 141
verse 4
For He who left
the glory,
To die upon the
tree,
Will soon
complete the story
And come again ;
and we
Conformed to
His image,
As known, be
brought to know ;
And with
increasing fervour
Our ceaseless
praise shall flow.
Song 142
verse 1
In deep,
eternal counsel,
Before the
world was made,
Before its deep
foundations
On nothingness
were laid,
God purposed us
for blessing,
And chose us in
His Son,
To Him to be
conformed,
When here our
course was run.
Song 142
verse 2
In present,
blest acceptance
In Him who came
to die ;
In Him who now

At God's right

We stand from

And prove the
boundless mercies
Which strew our
pilgrim way.
Song 142
verse 3
And when the
day of glory
Shall burst
upon this scene,
Dispelling all
the darkness
Which deep'ning
still had been ;
Oh, then He'll
come in brightness,
Whom every eye
shall see,
Arrayed in power
and glory ;
And we shall
with Him be.
Song 142
verse 4
For He who left
the glory,
To die upon the
tree,
Will soon
complete the story
And come again ;
and we
Conformed to
His image,
As known, be
brought to know ;
And with
increasing fervour
Our ceaseless
praise shall flow.
Song 143
verse 1
King of glory,
set on high,
Girt with
strength and majesty,
We Thy holy
name con-fess,
Thee with
adoration bless.
Song 143

Je-sus, mighty
Son of God,
Wondrous gift
on man bestowed !
Many crowns are
on Thy head,
Glorious First
— born from the dead.
Song 143
verse 3
Gladly, Lord,
we bow the knee,
By the Father's
just decree,
To His own
anointed One,
To His well — beloved
Son.
Song 144
verse 1
Salvation !
Oh, the joyful sound !
What pleasure
to our ears !
A sovereign
balm for every wound,
A cordial for
our fears !
Song 144
verse 2
Glory, honour,
praise and power,
Be unto the
Lamb for ever !
Jesus Christ is
our Redeemer !
Hallelujah!
praise ye the Lord.
Song 144
verse 3
Salvation !
O ascended Lamb,
To Thee the
praise belongs ;
Salvation shall
inspire our hearts,
And dwell upon
our tongues.
Song 145
verse 1
Saviour, in
love divine,
'Tis Thou hast
made us free
To eat the
bread and drink the wine
In memory,
Lord, of Thee.
Song 145
verse 2
Here every
welcome guest
Waits, Lord,
from Thee to learn
The secrets of
Thy Father's breast,
And all Thy
grace discern.
Song 145
verse 3
Conscience has
closed its strife,
And faith
delights to prove
The sweetness
of the Bread of life,
The fulness of
Thy love.
Song 145
verse 4
Oh, if this
taste of love
To us is now so
sweet,
What will it
be, O Lord, above
Thy blessed
self to meet ?
Song 145
verse 5
To see Thee
face to face,
Thy perfect
likeness wear,
And all Thy
ways of wondrous grace
Through endless
years declare !
Song 146
verse 1
We bless our
Saviour's name ;
Our sins are
all forgiven :
To suffer once
to earth He came;
He now is
crowned in heaven.
Song 146
verse 2
His precious
blood was shed,
His body
bruised for sin ;
Remembering
Him, we break the bread,
And, thankful,
drink the wine.
Song 146
verse 3
Lord, let us
ne'er forget
Thy rich, Thy
precious love,
Our theme of
joy and wonder here,
Our endless
song above.
Song 146
verse 4
O let Thy love
constrain
Our souls to
cleave to Thee,
And ever in our
hearts remain
That word,
Remember me.
Song 147
verse 1
To Him that
loved us, gave Himself,
And died to do
us good ;
Has washed us
from our scarlet sins
In His most
precious blood ;
Who made us
kings and priests to God,
His Father
infinite ;
To Him eternal
glory be,
And everlasting
might.
Song 147
verse 2
Through Him to
God, the God most high,
Praise for all
grace be given ;
Whose gifts
through all eternity
We'll gladly
sing in heaven ;
His Christ has
loved us, given Himself,
And died to do us
good,
Has washed us
from our scarlet sins
In His own
precious blood.
Song 148
verse 1
Here around Thy
table gathered,
Showing forth
Thy dying love,
Looking back
upon Thy sorrow,
Joying in Thy
joy above,
Now as one we
raise our voices,
And we plead
Thy parting word :
Come, Thou
risen Christ, to claim us ;
We are waiting
for Thee, Lord.
Song 148
verse 2
'Tis Thy face
we yearn to gaze on ;
'Tis Thy voice
we long to hear;
'Tis with Thee
we would be dwelling ;
'Tis Thy
likeness we would bear.
Lord, the
Spirit cries within us,
Come and take
Thy heavenly bride;
Thou and we
shall then, Lord Jesus,
Be for ever
satisfied.
Song 149
verse 1
Lord Jesus, we
remember
The travail of
Thy soul,
When, through
Thy love's deep pity,
The waves did
o'er Thee roll ;
Baptised in
death's dark waters,
For us Thy
blood was shed ;
For us Thou,
Lord of glory,
Wast numbered
with the dead.
Song 149
verse 2
O Lord !
Thou now art risen,
Thy travail all
is o'er ;
For sin Thou
once hast suffered,
Thou liv'st to
die no more ;
Sin, death and
hell are vanquished
By Thee, the
church's Head ;
And lo !
we share Thy triumphs,
Thou Firstborn
from the dead.
Song 149
verse 3
Unto Thy death
baptised,
We own with
Thee we died :
With Thee, our
Life, we're risen,
And shall be
glorified.
From sin, the
world, and Satan,
We're ransomed
by Thy blood,
And here would
walk as strangers,
Alive with Thee
to God.
Song 150
verse 1
Thou art the
everlasting Word,
The Father's
only Son;
God manifest,
God seen and heard,
The heaven's
beloved One ;
Worthy, O Lamb
of God, art Thou,
That every knee
to Thee should bow !
Song 150
verse 2
In Thee, most
perfectly expressed,
The Father's
self doth shine ;
Fulness of
Godhead, too: the Blest,
Eternally
Divine;
Worthy, O Lamb
of God, art Thou,
That every knee
to Thee should bow !
Song 150
verse 3
Image of the
Infinite Unseen,
Whose being
none can know ;
Brightness of
light no eye hath seen,
God's love
revealed below ;
Worthy, O Lamb
of God, art Thou,
That every knee
to Thee should bow !
Song 150
verse 4
The higher
mysteries of Thy fame
The creature's
grasp transcend ;
The Father only
Thy blest name
Of Son can
comprehend.
Worthy, O Lamb
of God, art Thou,
That every knee
to Thee should bow !
Song 150
verse 5
Yet loving
Thee, on whom His love
Ineffable doth
rest,
The
worshippers, O Lord, above,
As one with
Thee, are blest;
Worthy, O Lamb
of God, art Thou,
That every knee
to Thee should bow !
Song 150
verse 6
Of the vast
universe of bliss,
The centre
Thou, and Sun ;
The eternal
theme of praise is this,
To Heaven's
beloved One,
Worthy, O Lamb
of God, art Thou,
That every knee
to Thee should bow !
Song 151
verse 1
Lord Jesus,
when we think of Thee,
Of all Thy love
and grace,
Our spirits
long and fain would see
Thy beauty,
face to face.
Song 151
verse 2
And though the
wilderness we tread,
A barren,
thirsty ground,
With thorns and
briars overspread,
Where foes and
snares abound,
Song 151
verse 3
Yet in Thy love
such depths we see,
Our souls
o'erflow with praise —
Content
ourselves, while, Lord, to Thee
A joyful song
we raise.
Song 151
verse 4
Our Lord, our
Life, our Rest, our Shield,
Our Rock, our
Food, our Light ;
Each thought of
Thee doth constant yield
Unchanging,
fresh delight.
Song 151
verse 5
Blest Saviour,
keep our spirits stayed,
Hard following
after Thee,
Till we, in
robes of white arrayed,
Thy face in
glory see.
Song 152
verse 1
Thy name we
love, Lord Jesus ;
And lowly bow
before Thee ;
And while we
live, to Thee we give,
All blessing,
worship, glory ;
We sing aloud
Thy praises,
Our hearts and
voices blending,
'Tis Thou alone
we worthy own ;
Thy beauty's
all transcending.
Song 152
verse 2
Thy name we
love, Lord Jesus ;
It tells God's
love unbounded
To ruined man,
ere time began,
Or heaven and
earth were founded ;
Thine is a love
eternal,
That found in
us its pleasure,
That brought
Thee low, to bear our woe,
And make us
Thine own treasure.
Song 152
verse 3
Thy name we
love, Lord Jesus ;
It tells Thy
birth so lowly,
Thy patience,
grace, Thy gentleness,
Thy lonely
path, so holy ;
Thou wast the
Man of sorrows :
Our grief, too,
Thou didst bear it ;
The bitter cup,
Thou drankest up ;
The thorny
crown, didst wear it.
Song 152
verse 4
Thy name we
love, Lord Jesus ;
God's Lamb Thou
wast ordained
To bear our
sins (Thyself all clean) —
Our judgment
hast sustained ;
We see Thee
crowned in glory,
Above the
heavens now seated,
The victory
won, Thy work well done,
Our
righteousness completed.
Song 153
verse 1
Whom have we,
Lord, but Thee,
Soul thirst to
satisfy ?
Exhaustless
spring! The waters free!
All other
streams are dry.
Song 153
verse 2
Our hearts by
Thee are set
On brighter
things above;
Strange that we
ever should forget
Thine own most
faithful love.
Song 153
verse 3
Yet oft we
credit not
That Thou dost
give as God,
Though well we
know our happy lot
In trusting to
Thy blood.
Song 153
verse 4
None like the
ransomed host
That precious
blood have known;
Redemption
gives faith's holy boast
To draw so near
the throne.
Song 153
verse 5
Higher and
higher yet!
Pleading that
same life-blood,
We taste the
love that knows no let,
Of Abba, as of
God.
Song 154
verse 1
Our Father we
would worship,
In Jesus' holy
name,
For He,
whate'er our changes,
For ever is the
same :
Through Him our
childlike praises
As incense
sweet will be ;
The songs Thy
Spirit raises
Can ne'er want
melody.
Song 154
verse 2
The fire Thy
love hath kindled,
Shall never be
put out ;
The Spirit
keeps it burning,
(Though dimmed
by things without) ;
O make it burn
more brightly,
By faith more
freely shine !
That we may
value rightly
The grace that
made us Thine.
Song 155
verse 1
What was it
blessed God,
Led Thee to
give Thy Son,
To yield Thy
well --- beloved
For us by sin
undone ?
'Twas love
unbounded led Thee thus
To give Thy
well --- beloved for us.
Song 155
verse 2
What led Thy
Son, O God,
To leave Thy
throne on high,
To shed His
precious blood,
To suffer and
to die ?
'Twas love,
unbounded love to us,
Led Him to die
and suffer thus.
Song 155
verse 3
What moved Thee
to impart
Thy Spirit from
above,
Therewith to
fill our heart
With heavenly
peace and love ?
'Twas love,
unbounded love to us,
Moved Thee to
give Thy Spirit thus.
Song 155
verse 4
What love to
Thee we owe,
Our God, for
all Thy grace !
Our hearts may
well o'erflow
In everlasting
praise :
Make us, O God,
to praise Thee thus
For all Thy
boundless love to us.
Song 156
verse 1
"Praise ye
the Lord," again, again,
The Spirit
strikes the chord ;
Nor toucheth He
our hearts in vain ;
We praise, we
praise the Lord.
Song 156
verse 2
"Rejoice
in Him," again, again,
The Spirit
speaks the word,
And faith takes
up the happy strain ;
Our joy is in
the Lord.
Song 156
verse 3
"Stand
fast in Christ;" ah ! yet again
He teacheth all
the band ;
If human
efforts are in vain,
In Christ it is
we stand.
Song 156
verse 4
"Clean
every whit;" Thou saidst it, Lord !
Shall one
suspicion lurk ?
Thine, surely,
is a faithful word,
And Thine a
finished work.
Song 156
verse 5
For ever be the
glory given
To Thee, O Lamb
of God !
Our every joy
on earth, in heaven,
We owe it to
Thy blood.
Song 157
verse 1
Thou brightness
of God's glory,
Thou light of
all above,
Perfect art
Thou in wisdom,
In righteous
power, and love.
Song 157
verse 2
Worthy art
Thou, Lord Jesus,
Beyond all
songs we raise ;
Worthy of
highest glory
And everlasting
praise.
Song 157
verse 3
Thou, Thou
alone, art worthy ;
For Thou, the
Lamb, hast died,
And made us,
once lost sinners,
Thy body and
Thy bride.
Song 158
verse 1
God, our
Father, we adore Thee !
We, Thy
children, bless Thy name !
Chosen in the
Christ before Thee,
We are holy
without blame.
We adore Thee !
we adore Thee !
Abba's praises
we proclaim !
Song 158
verse 2
Son eternal, we
adore Thee !
Lamb upon the
throne on high !
Lamb of God, we
bow before Thee,
Thou hast
brought Thy people nigh !
We adore Thee !
we adore Thee !
Son of God who
came to die !
Song 158
verse 3
Father, Son and
Holy Spirit —
Three in One !
We give Thee praise !
For the riches
we inherit
Heart and voice
to Thee we raise !
We adore Thee !
We adore Thee !
Thee we bless
through endless days.
Song 159
verse 1
O God of grace,
whose saving power
Can reach the
chiefest sinner,
We seem to
reach earth's darkest hour,
The ranks of
faith grow thinner ;
Before Thee now
in thought we stand,
Our sin, our
need confessing ;
We long to see
Thy gracious hand
Bestow eternal
blessing.
Song 159
verse 2
Earth's honours
fade, its glories pale ;
How soon is
told life's story !
And nothing can
the least avail
To meet the
claims of glory.
If Thou, Lord
Jesus, hadst not been
In death, Thy
work completed,
We never had
salvation seen,
Nor viewed our
foes defeated.
Song 159
verse 3
Thou sittest,
Lord, upon the throne,
Above this
world of sadness ;
Thou hearest
every sinner's groan ;
Let woe be
changed to gladness ;
Stretch out
Thine arm, and from above,
Through every
tribe and nation,
Roll forth the
tide of saving love,
O God of all
salvation.
Song 160
verse 1
Oh bright and
blessed hope !
When shall it
be,
That we His
face, long loved,
Revealed shall
see ?
Oh ! when,
without a cloud,
His features
trace,
Whose faithful
love, so long,
We've known in
grace ?
Song 160
verse 2
That love
itself enjoy,
Which, ever
true,
Did, in our
feeble path,
Its work pursue !
O Jesus !
not unknown,
Thy love shall
fill
The heart in
which Thou dwell'st,
And shalt dwell
still !
Song 160
verse 3
Still, Lord, to
see Thy face,
Thy voice to
hear ;
To know Thy
present love,
For ever near ;
To gaze upon
Thyself
So faithful
known,
Long proved in
secret help
With Thee alone ;
Song 160
verse 4
To see that
love, content
On us flow
forth,
For ever Thy
delight,
Clothed with
Thy worth.
Nor, what is
next Thy heart,
Can we forget ;
Thy saints, O
Lord, with Thee
In glory met.
Song 160
verse 5
Perfect in
comeliness
Before Thy
face,
Th'eternal
witness, all,
Of Thine own
grace ;
Together, then,
their songs
Of endless
praise,
With one
harmonious voice,
In joy they'll
raise !
Song 161
verse 1
For ever with
the Lord,
Amen, so let it
be ;
Life from the
dead is in that word,
'Tis
immortality.
Here in the
body pent,
Absent from Him
we roam,
Yet nightly
pitch our moving tent
A day's march
nearer home.
Song 161
verse 2
Our Father's
house on high,
Home of our
souls, how near
E'en now to
faith's transpiercing eye
Thy gates of
pearl appear !
The thirsty
spirit faints
To reach the
home we love ;
The bright
inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem
above.
Song 161
verse 3
And though
there intervene
Rough roads and
stormy skies,
Faith will not
suffer ought to screen
Thy glory from
our eyes.
There shall all
clouds depart,
The wilderness
shall cease,
And sweetly
shall each gladdened heart
Enjoy eternal
peace.
Song 162
verse 1
What rich
eternal bursts of praise
Shall fill yon
courts through endless days,
When time shall
cease to be !
Round and
around the notes shall swell,
As each
redeemed one joins to tell
Thy love, so
vast and free.
Song 162
verse 2
Each shall the
Saviour's likeness bear,
A royal crown
each brow shall wear,
And robes
unsullied white.
The everlasting
song shall be,
To Thee, O Lamb
of God, to Thee,
'Mid scenes of
purest light.
Song 162
verse 3
Our joy
unhindered then with Thee,
Our eyes
undimmed Thy glory see,
Whilst worthy
praise we give.
Through that
eternal cloudless day,
Our burning
hearts with rapture say,
He died that we
might live.
Song 163
verse 1
The Lord of
life is risen,
Has left the
darksome grave,
And, death by
Him abolished,
He's mighty now
to save ;
And we with Him
are risen,
The fruit of
all His toil,
The firstfruits
of His harvest,
His suffering's
richest spoil.
Song 163
verse 2
The Lord of
life is seated
At God's right
hand on high —
God's just and
righteous answer
To grace which
stooped to die ;
In Him we too
are seated,
Oh, blessed,
wondrous grace !
Accepted and
beloved,
In Him, in
sonship's place.
Song 163
verse 3
The Lord of
life is coming
To perfect all
His grace ;
To take His
blood-bought people
To fill their
heavenly place ;
Oh, with what
joy ascending
We'll meet Him
in the air,
To dwell with
Him in glory,
And His blest
image bear !
Song 164
verse 1
Lord, we love
to trace Thy footprints
Here amidst the
desert sand,
Ponder o'er Thy
path of suffering —
Wondrous heart
and healing hand ;
Learn Thy love
at Bethlehem's manger,
Hear Thee still
the raging wave,
See Thee at the
well of Sychar,
On the cross,
and in the grave.
Song 164
verse 2
Lord, we bow in
adoration
As we watch
that stream of love ;
Find its mighty
tide still flowing
From Thee now
as crowned above.
'Tis a love no
heart can fathom,
Which to us
Thou dost unfold,
Inexhaustible
and boundless —
Wondrous theme
that ne'er grows old.
Song 165
verse 1
Head of the
church triumphant !
We joyfully
adore Thee ;
Till Thou
appear, Thy members here
Would sing Thy
love and glory.
We lift our
hearts and voices,
In blest
anticipation,
And cry aloud,
and give to God
The praise of
our salvation.
Song 165
verse 2
While in
affliction's furnace
And passing
through the fire,
The love we
praise which tries our ways,
And ever brings
us nigher ;
We lift our
hearts exulting
In Thine
almighty favour :
The love divine
which made us Thine
Shall keep us
Thine for ever.
Song 165
verse 3
Thou dost
conduct Thy people
Safely through
all temptation :
Nor will we
fear, since Thou art near,
The fire of
tribulation ;
The world with
sin and Satan,
Display their
strength before us ;
By Thee we
shall break through them all,
And join the
heavenly chorus.
Song 165
verse 4
By faith we see
the glory
Of which Thou
dost assure us;
The world
despise, for that high prize
Which Thou hast
set before us ;
And may we,
counted worthy
To meet the Son
from heaven,
There see our
Lord, by all adored,
To us in glory
given.
Song 166
verse 1
Lord, Thou hast
drawn us after Thee,
Now let us run
and never tire ;
Thy presence
shall our comfort be,
Thyself our
hope, our sole desire,
Our present
Saviour, while nor fear
Nor sin can
come if Thou art near.
Song 166
verse 2
What in Thy
love possess we not ?
Our star by
night, our sun by day,
Our spring of
life when parched with drought,
Our wine to
cheer, our bread to stay,
Our strength,
our shield, our safe abode,
Our robe before
the throne of God !
Song 166
verse 3
Unchangeable
Thy gracious love
Our earthly
path has ceaseless viewed ;
Ere yet these
beating hearts could move,
Thy tender
mercies still pursued ;
Ever with us
may they abide,
And close us in
on every side.
Song 167
verse 1
The night is far
spent, and the day is at hand :
No sign to be
looked for ; the Star's in the sky ;
Rejoice then,
ye saints, 'tis your Lord's own command ;
Rejoice, for
the coming of Jesus draws nigh.
Song 167
verse 2
What a day will
that be, when the Saviour appears !
How welcome to
those who have shared in His cross !
A crown
incorruptible then will be theirs,
A rich
compensation for suffering and loss.
Song 167
verse 3
What is loss in
this world, when compared to that day,
To the glory
that then will from heaven be revealed ?
"The
Saviour is coming," His people may say ;
"The Lord
whom we look for, our Sun and our
Shield."
Song 167
verse 4
O pardon us,
Lord ! that our love to Thy name
Is so faint,
with so much our affections to move ;
Our coldness
might fill us with grief and with shame,
So much to be
loved, and so little to love.
Song 167
verse 5
O kindle within
us a holy desire,
Like that which
was found in Thy people of old,
Who tasted Thy
love, and whose hearts were on fire,
While they
waited, in patience, Thy face to behold.
Song 168
verse 1
The night is
far spent, and the day is at hand:
No sign to be
looked for; the Star's in the sky ;
Rejoice then,
ye saints, 'tis your Lord's own command ;
Rejoice, for
the coming of Jesus draws nigh.
Song 168
verse 2
What a day will
that be, when the Saviour appears !
How welcome to
those who have shared in His cross !
A crown
incorruptible then will be theirs,
A rich
compensation for suffering and loss.
Song 168
verse 3
What is loss in
this world, when compared to that day,
To the glory
that then will from heaven be revealed ?
"The
Saviour is coming," His people may say ;
"The Lord
whom we look for, our Sun and our
Shield."
Song 168
verse 4
O pardon us,
Lord ! that our love to Thy name
Is so faint,
with so much our affections to move ;
Our coldness
might fill us with grief and with shame,
So much to be
loved, and so little to love.
Song 168
verse 5
O kindle within
us a holy desire,
Like that which
was found in Thy people of old,
Who tasted Thy
love, and whose hearts were on fire,
While they
waited, in patience, Thy face to behold.
Song 169
verse 1
There is rest
for the weary soul —
There is rest
in the Saviour's love;
There is rest
in the grace that has made us whole,
And that
seeketh out those who rove.
Song 169
verse 2
There is rest
in the tender love
That has
trodden our path below,
That has found
us a place in the realms above,
But can now all
our sorrows know.
Song 169
verse 3
There is rest
in the calming grace
That flows out
from those realms above ;
Oh what rest in
the thought — we shall see His face,
Who has given
us to know His love !
Song 169
verse 4
There is rest
in the midst of grief —
For His grief
was the proof of love ;
Oh 'tis sweet
in that love now to find relief,
When the
sorrows of earth we prove.
Song 169
verse 5
There is rest
in the Saviour's heart,
Who would never
turn grief away:
But has found,
in what sin once had made our part,
The domain of
His love's display.
Song 169
verse 6
There is rest
in the blessed yoke,
And in proving
no will but His,
While we learn
from His path, and the words He spoke,
What the
patience of Jesus is !
Song 169
verse 7
So where Jesus
has gone before,
Is the path
which we have to tread ;
And it leads to
the rest where all sorrow's o'er —
To the place
where His steps have led.
Song 170
verse 1
Lo, He comes
from heaven descending,
Once for
favoured sinners slain ;
Thousand
thousand saints attending
Swell the
triumph of His train :
Hallelujah !
Hallelujah !
Jesus comes,
and comes to reign !
Song 170
verse 2
See the
Saviour, long expected,
Now in solemn
pomp appear ;
And His saints,
by man rejected,
All His
heavenly glory share ;
Hallelujah !
Hallelujah !
See the Son of
Man appear !
Song 170
verse 3
Lo, the tokens
of His passion,
Though in
glory, still He bears,
Cause of
endless exultation
To His ransomed
worshippers ;
Hallelujah !
Hallelujah !
Christ, the
Lamb of God appears.
Song 170
verse 4
'Tis Thy
heavenly bride and Spirit,
Jesus, Lord,
that bids Thee come
All the glory
to inherit
And to take Thy
people home :
All creation, All
creation
Groans and
travails till Thou come.
Song 170
verse 5
Israel's race
shall now behold Thee
Full of grace
and majesty ;
Though they set
at nought and sold Thee,
Pierced and
nailed Thee to the tree,
They in glory, They
in glory
Shall their
great Messiah see.
Song 170
verse 6
Yea, Amen, let
all adore Thee
High on Thine
exalted throne :
Saviour, take
the power and glory,
Claim the
kingdoms for Thine own :
Come, Lord
Jesus, Come, Lord Jesus,
Hallelujah,
come, Lord, come.
Song 171
verse 1
Thy suffering
love, Lord Jesus,
Our hearts
delight to trace ;
The love that
sought and claimed us,
In strong yet
tender grace.
Song 171
verse 2
We think of Thy
devotion,
Thy blest
obedience rare ;
Thy holy, deep
emotion,
Thy grief that
none could share.
Song 171
verse 3
Thus to our
hearts Thou speakest ;
Blest Lord, we
hear Thy voice ;
We know its
charm, its sweetness,
And in Thy love
rejoice.
Song 171
verse 4
We wait the
consummation
Of love's own
work divine,
And now in
adoration
We joy that we
are Thine.
Song 172
verse 1
O teach us more
of Thy blest ways,
Thou Holy Lamb
of God,
And fix and
root us in Thy grace,
As those
redeemed by blood.
Song 172
verse 2
O tell us often
of Thy love,
Of all Thy
grief and pain ;
And let our
hearts with joy confess
That thence
comes all our gain.
Song 172
verse 3
For this, O may
we freely count
Whate'er we
have but loss ;
The dearest
object of our love,
Compared with
Thee, but dross.
Song 172
verse 4
Engrave this
deeply on our hearts
With an eternal
pen,
That we may, in
some small degree,
Return Thy love
again.
Song 173
verse 1
"A little
while" — the Lord shall come,
And we shall
wander here no more ;
He'll take us
to His Father's home,
Where He for us
is gone before,
To dwell with
Him, to see His face,
And sing the
glories of His grace.
Song 173
verse 2
"A little
while" — He'll come again ;
Let us the
precious hours redeem,
Our only grief
to give Him pain,
Our joy to
serve and follow Him.
Watching and
ready may we be,
As those that
wait their Lord to see.
Song 173
verse 3
"A little
while" — 'twill soon be past,
Why should we
shun the promised cross ?
O let us in His
footsteps haste,
Counting for
Him all else but loss ;
For how will
recompense His smile,
The sufferings
of this "little while" !
Song 173
verse 4
"A little
while" — come, Saviour, come ;
For Thee Thy
bride has tarried long :
Take Thy poor
waiting pilgrims home
To sing the new
eternal song,
To see Thy
glory, and to be
In everything
conformed to Thee !
Song 174
verse 1
O patient,
spotless One !
Our hearts in
meekness train,
To bear Thy
yoke, and learn of Thee,
That we may
rest obtain.
Song 174
verse 2
Jesus, Thou art
enough
The mind and
heart to fill ;
Thy patient
life — to calm the soul ;
Thy love — its
fear dispel.
Song 174
verse 3
O fix our
earnest gaze
So wholly,
Lord, on Thee,
That, with Thy
beauty occupied,
We elsewhere
none may see.
Song 175
verse 1
We sing the
praise of Him who died,
Of Him who died
upon the cross,
The sinner's
Hope — let men deride ;
For this we count
the world but loss.
Song 175
verse 2
Inscribed upon
the cross we see,
In shining
letters, God is Love,
The Lamb who
died upon the tree,
Has brought us
mercy from above.
Song 175
verse 3
The Cross — it
took our guilt away,
It holds the
fainting spirit up ;
It cheers with
hope the gloomy day,
And sweetens
every bitter cup.
Song 175
verse 4
It makes the
coward spirit brave,
And nerves the
feeble arm for fight ;
It takes its
terror from the grave,
And gilds the
bed of death with light.
Song 175
verse 5
The balm of
life, the cure of woe,
The measure and
the pledge of love,
The sinner's
refuge here below,
The theme of
praise in heaven above !
Song 176
verse 1
Lord, we shall
see Thee as Thou art,
In all Thy
glory there,
We shall behold
Thee face to face,
Thy glorious
image bear.
Song 176
verse 2
With what
delight, what wondering love,
Each thrilling
heart shall swell,
When we, as
sharers of Thy joy,
Are called with
Thee to dwell !
Song 176
verse 3
For ever our
still wondering eyes
Shall o'er His
beauties rove ;
To endless ages
we'll adore
The riches of
His love !
Song 176
verse 4
O hasten,
hasten on that hour,
And call us to
Thy seat :
For Thou
without us ne'er wilt count
Thy work, Thy
joy complete.
Song 177
verse 1
Though in a
foreign land,
We are not far
from home ;
And nearer to
our rest above,
We every moment
come.
Song 177
verse 2
Secure within
the veil,
Christ is our
anchor strong ;
While power
supreme and love divine
Still guide us
safe along.
Song 177
verse 3
And should the
surges rise,
Should sore
afflictions come,
Blest is the
sorrow, kind the storm,
That drives us
nearer home.
Song 177
verse 4
God's grace
will to the end
Clearer and
brighter shine ;
Nor present
things, nor things to come,
Can change His
love divine.
Song 177
verse 5
Soon shall our
pains and fears
For ever pass
away ;
For we shall
soon the Saviour see
In everlasting
day.
Song 178
verse 1
Our great High
Priest is sitting
At God's right
hand above,
For us His
hands uplifting,
In sympathy and
love ;
Whilst here below,
in weakness,
We onward speed
our way ;
In sorrow oft
and sickness,
We sigh and
groan and pray.
Song 178
verse 2
Through
manifold temptation,
My soul holds
on her course,
Christ's mighty
intercession
Alone is her
resource ;
My gracious
High Priest's pleadings,
Who on the
cross did bleed,
Bring down
God's grace and blessings,
Help in each
hour of need.
Song 178
verse 3
O Jesus blessed
Saviour,
We hope to see
Thee soon,
Who once on
earth didst suffer,
Who soon for us
wilt come.
'Twas God's
most gracious favour
Gave Thee, His
Son, to die ;
To live our
Intercessor ;
To plead for us
on high.
Song 179
verse 1
Brightness of
th’eternal glory
Shall Thy
praise unuttered lie ?
Who would hush
the heav’nsent story
Of the Lamb who
came to die ?
Song 179
verse 2
Came from
Godhead's fullest glory
Down to
Calv’ry's depth of woe ;
Now on high, we
bow before Thee ;
Streams of
praises ceaseless flow !
Song 179
verse 3
Sing His blest
triumphant rising;
Sing Him on the
Father's throne ;
Sing — till
heav’n and earth surprising,
Reigns the
Nazarene alone.
Song 180
verse 1
We are but
strangers here ;
Heaven is our
home ;
Earth is a
desert drear ;
Heaven is our
home.
Dangers and
sorrows stand
Round us on
every hand ;
Heaven is our
fatherland,
Heaven is our
home.
Song 180
verse 2
What though the
tempest rage,
Heaven is our
home ;
Short is our
pilgrimage,
Heaven is our
home :
This life's
wild wintry blast
Soon will be
overpast ;
We shall reach
home at last ;
Heaven is our
home.
Song 180
verse 3
There at our
Saviour's side,
In heaven our
home,
We shall be
glorified ;
Heaven is our
home.
There with the
good and blest,
Those we love
most and best,
We shall for
ever rest,
In heaven our
home.
Song 180
verse 4
Therefore we'll
murmur not,
Heaven is our
home ;
Whate'er our
earthly lot,
Heaven is our
home.
We shall yet
surely stand
There at our
Lord's right hand ;
Heaven is our
fatherland,
Heaven is our
home.
Song 181
verse 1
Glory, Lord, is
Thine for ever,
Ever Thine —
Thou art the Son !
Great the glory
Thou art given,
Great the glory
Thou hast won ;
Great the glory
and the spleendour
Of the holy
heavenly place ;
Greater far the
Godhead glory
Shining,
Saviour, in Thy face !
Song 181
verse 2
Lord of glory,
Thou didst enter
This dark world
of sin and woe ;
Veiled Thy glory,
yet 'twas witnessed
By Thine own
while here below.
Thou didst die,
and now we praise Thee
In Thy glory,
Lord, above ;
For in death
Thou hast declared
All the fulness
of God's love.
Song 181
verse 3
Yes, we see
Thee crowned with glory,
Highest honour
to Thee given ;
But the glory
of Thy Person
Is the light
that shines in heaven.
Thou art
greater, glorious Saviour,
Than the glory
Thou hast won ;
This the
greatness of Thy glory —
Ever blest —
Thou art the Son !
Song 182
verse 1
O Lord, how
blest — as day by day
We pass along
our pilgrim way —
To know that we
are Thine !
Thine — through
redemption's precious blood,
Which cleansed,
which brought us nigh to God
In
righteousness divine.
Song 182
verse 2
Thine, ever
Thine — to be with Thee —
For where Thou
art Thine own must be,
Love will not
be alone ;
Love's
resting-place together shared
By Thee, by
those Thou hast declared
Through grace
to be Thine own.
Song 182
verse 3
O Lord, in meek
and godly fear,
To follow and
to serve Thee here,
Do Thou our hearts
incline ;
To be for Thee
where Thou hast been,
Until we reach
Thee in that scene
Where Thou wilt
own us Thine.
Song 182
verse 4
Lord, may we
always own Thy claim,
And overcoming
in Thy name
From
earthliness be free.
And by the
daily manna fed,
Renewed in
strength, the path we'd tread
Which leads us
up to Thee.
Song 183
verse 1
Saviour, come,
Thy saints are waiting,
Waiting for the
nuptial day,
Thence their
promised glory dating;
Come and bear
Thy saints away.
Come, Lord
Jesus,
Thus Thy
waiting people pray.
Song 183
verse 2
Base the wish,
and vain the endeavour,
Here on earth
to find our rest;
Till we see Thy
face, we never
Shall or can be
fully blest;
In Thy presence
Nothing shall
our peace molest.
Song 183
verse 3
Lord, we wait
for Thine appearing;
"Quickly
come" Thy people say;
Bright the
prospect is and cheering,
Of beholding
Thee that day;
When our sorrow
Shall for ever
pass away.
Song 183
verse 4
Till it comes,
O keep us steady,
Keep us walking
in Thy ways;
At Thy call may
we be ready,
On Thee, Lord,
with joy to gaze;
And in heaven
Sing Thine
everlasting praise.
Song 184
verse 1
There is a Name
we love to hear,
We love to sing
its worth;
It sounds like
music in our ear,
The sweetest
Name on earth.
Song 184
verse 2
It tells us of
a Saviour's love,
Who died to set
us free ;
It tells us of
His precious blood,
The sinner's
perfect plea.
Song 184
verse 2
Jesus !
the Name we love so well,
The Name we
love to hear !
No saint on
earth its worth can tell,
No heart
conceive how dear.
Song 184
verse 3
This Name shall
shed its fragrance still
Along life's
thorny road,
Shall sweetly
smooth the rugged hill
That leads us
up to God.
Song 184
verse 4
And there the
whole triumphant throng,
Of blood-bought
saints on high,
Shall sing the
new eternal song
With Jesus ever
nigh.
Song 185
verse 1
We have a home
above,
From sin and
sorrow free ;
A mansion which
eternal love
Prepared our
rest to be.
Song 185
verse 2
The Father's
gracious hand
Has built this
blest abode;
From
everlasting it was planned;
The
dwelling-place of God.
Song 185
verse 3
The Saviour's
precious blood
Has made our
title sure;
He passed
through death's dark raging flood
To make our
rest secure.
Song 185
verse 4
The Comforter
is come,
The Earnest has
been given;
He leads us
onward to the home
Reserved for us
in heaven.
Song 185
verse 5
Thy love, most
gracious Lord,
Our joy and
strength shall be,
Till Thou shalt
speak the gladdening word
That bids us
rise to Thee.
Song 185
verse 6
And then
through endless days,
Where all Thy
glories shine,
In happier,
holier strains we'll praise
The grace that
made us Thine.
Song 186
verse 1
Sower divine,
send forth Thy word,
Here let each
heart the ground prepare;
Fulfil Thy
glorious purpose, Lord,
And give Thy
people ears to hear.
Song 186
verse 2
No wayside
heart be here today,
Still barren,
hard and unforgiven,
Lest Satan come
and snatch away
The seed that
bears the life of heaven.
Song 186
verse 3
Nor, as in dry
and stony ground,
At once to
spring, yet, by and by,
Rootless in
trial's heat, be found
As swift to
wither and to die.
Song 186
verse 4
Lord, from this
world our hearts set free,
Its riches,
cares and pleasures vain;
Lest growing
strong, they prove to be
Like thorns
that choke the precious grain.
Song 186
verse 5
But to Thy wise
and gracious ways
Patient and
meek we would be found;
Thy Spirit's
streams, Thy love's warm rays,
Making that
good and fruitful ground.
Song 186
verse 6
Then shall Thy
word, the living seed,
Accomplish that
for which it came,
Spring up a
hundredfold indeed,
A harvest
worthy of Thy Name.
Song 187
verse 1
O Jesus,
gracious Saviour,
Upon the
Father's throne —
Whose wondrous
love and favour
Have made our
cause Thine own;
Thy people to
Thee ever
For grace and
help repair,
For Thou, they
know, wilt never
Refuse their
griefs to share.
Song 187
verse 2
O Lord, through
tribulation
Our
pilgrim-journey lies,
Through scorn
and sore temptation,
And watchful
enemies ;
Midst
never-ceasing dangers
We through the
desert roam ;
As pilgrims
here and strangers,
We seek the
rest to come.
Song 187
verse 3
O Lord, Thou
too once hasted
This weary
desert through,
Once fully
tried and tasted
Its bitterness
and woe ;
And hence Thy
heart is tender
In truest
sympathy,
Though now the
heavens render
All praise to
Thee on high.
Song 187
verse 4
O by Thy Holy
Spirit
Reveal in us
Thy love,
The joy we
shall inherit
With Thee, our
Head above ;
May all this
consolation
Our trembling
hearts sustain,
Sure — though
through tribulation —
The promised
rest to gain.
Song 188
verse 1
Break Thou the
Bread of Life,
Dear Lord, to
me,
As Thou didst
break the bread
Beside the sea ;
Beyond the
sacred page
I seek Thee,
Lord ;
My spirit longs
for Thee,
Thou living
Word.
Song 188
verse 2
Thou art the
Bread of Life,
O Lord, to me,
Thy Holy Word
the truth
That saveth me ;
Give me to eat
and live
With Thee above ;
Teach me to
love Thy truth,
For Thou art
love.
Song 188
verse 3
Speak by Thy
Spirit, Lord,
Now unto me,
That He may
touch my eyes
And make me see :
Show me the
truth concealed
Within Thy Word,
And in Thy Book
revealed,
I see Thee,
Lord.
Song 188
verse 4
Bless Thou the
Bread of Life
To me, to me,
As Thou didst
bless the loaves
By Galilee ;
Then shall all
bondage cease,
All fetters
fall,
And I shall
find my peace,
My All in all.
Song 189
verse 1
O God of
matchless grace,
We sing unto
Thy name ;
We stand
accepted in the place
That none but
Christ could claim ;
Our willing
hearts have heard Thy voice,
And in Thy
mercy we rejoice.
Song 189
verse 2
'Tis meet that
Thy delight
Should centre in
the Son,
That Thou
shouldst place us in Thy sight
In Him, Thy
Holy One ;
Thy perfect
love has cast out fear ;
Thy favour
shines upon us here.
Song 189
verse 3
Eternal is our
rest,
O Christ of
God, in Thee ;
Now of Thy
peace, Thy joy, possessed,
We wait Thy
face to see ;
Now to the
Father's heart received,
We know in whom
we have believed.
Song 190
verse 1
Great Captain
of salvation,
Now crowned
with highest glory,
Joyful we raise
Our songs of
praise,
And lowly bow
before Thee ;
We worship and
adore Thee,
Each heart and
tongue confessing
Worthy to
reign,
The Lamb once
slain,
Of honour,
power, and blessing.
Song 190
verse 2
Thou hast the
cross endured
In love beyond
all measure,
The curse, the
grave,
Thy saints to
save,
And have us as
Thy treasure ;
We see Thee as
the Victim
Our sins and
sorrows bearing ;
The Lamb, once
slain,
Alive again,
The crown of
glory wearing.
Song 190
verse 3
Speak by Thy
Spirit, Lord,
Now unto me,
That He may
touch my eyes
And make me see :
Show me the
truth concealed
Within Thy
Word,
And in Thy Book
revealed,
I see Thee,
Lord.
Song 190
verse 4
Bless Thou the
Bread of Life
To me, to me,
As Thou didst
bless the loaves
By Galilee ;
Then shall all
bondage cease,
All fetters
fall,
And I shall
find my peace,
My All in all.
Song 191
verse 1
Abba, Father,
oh, what wonders
Doth that
precious name reveal !
While in Christ
we gaze upon Thee,
Songs of joy
our spirits fill.
Looking back,
we can but bless Thee
Looking
forward, but adore;
For Thy present
favour give Thee
Children's
praises evermore.
Song 191
verse 2
Enemies were
we, and rebels,
Ruined,
wretched, and undone ;
Thou didst
give, from wrath to save us,
For Thy foes
Thine only Son.
Now, oh, joy
beyond all telling,
Foes no more,
but sons are we,
Children in a
Father's presence,
Blest in Him,
and loved as He.
Song 191
verse 3
Stretched
before us lies a future
Filled with
bliss no tongue can tell —
Thine own house
of many mansions,
Where we shall
for ever dwell.
Yet, O Father,
we, Thy children,
While we
through the desert move,
Dwell already
in Thy presence,
Taste by faith
the joys above.
Song 192
verse 1
Great Captain
of salvation,
Now crowned
with highest glory,
Joyful we raise
Our songs of
praise,
And lowly bow
before Thee ;
We worship and
adore Thee,
Each heart and
tongue confessing
Worthy to
reign,
The Lamb once
slain,
Of honour,
power, and blessing.
Song 192
verse 2
Thou hast the
cross endured
In love beyond
all measure,
The curse, the
grave,
Thy saints to
save,
And have us as
Thy treasure ;
We see Thee as
the Victim
Our sins and
sorrows bearing ;
The Lamb, once
slain,
Alive again,
The crown of
glory wearing.
Song 192
verse 3
Head of the new
creation,
To God's right
hand ascended,
Thy saints
rejoice
With heart and
voice
Before Thy feet
low bended ;
We own Thee, Lord,
exulting
In all Thy joy
and glory ;
And long to be
On high with
Thee,
Where all shall
bow before Thee.
Song 193
verse 1
Jesus, my
Saviour, Thou art mine,
The Father's
gift of love divine ;
All Thou hast
done, and all Thou art
Are now the portion
of my heart.
Song 193
verse 2
Poor, feeble,
wretched, as I am,
I now can glory
in Thy name ;
Now cleansed in
Thy most precious blood
And made the
righteousness of God.
Song 193
verse 3
All that Thou
hast, Thou hast for me ;
All my fresh
springs are hid in Thee;
In Thee I live ;
while I confess
I nothing am,
yet all possess.
Song 193
verse 4
O Saviour,
teach me to abide
Close sheltered
at Thy wounded side,
Each hour
receiving "grace on grace"
Until I see
Thee face to face.
Song 194
verse 1
Lord and
Saviour, we remember,
In that hour of
shame,
Thou to God
Thyself didst render:
Praise Thy
name.
Song 194
verse 2
Blessed
Saviour, we remember
Thou hadst met
the foe;
Yet the
darkness gathered round Thee,
And the woe.
Song 194
verse 3
Holy Saviour,
we remember
Bitter was Thy
cry,
When, for sin
by God forsaken,
Wrath was nigh.
Song 194
verse 4
Precious
Saviour, we remember
Thou didst
overcome ;
Through Thy
victory we who wandered
Are brought
home.
Song 194
verse 5
Lord and
Saviour, we remember
Somewhat of Thy
love ;
All its fulness
do Thou teach us
From above.
Song 195
verse 1
Worthy of
homage and of praise ;
Worthy by all
to be adored :
Exhaustless
theme of heavenly lays !
Thou, Thou art
worthy, Jesus, Lord.
Song 195
verse 2
To Thee, e'en
now, our song we raise,
Though sure the
tribute mean must prove :
No mortal
tongue can tell Thy ways,
So full of
life, and light, and love.
Song 195
verse 3
Yet, Saviour,
Thou shalt have full praise ;
We soon shall
meet Thee on the cloud ;
We soon shall
see Thee face to face,
In glory
praising as we would.
Song 196
verse 1
Come, let us
sing the matchless worth
And sweetly
sound the glories forth
Which in the
Saviour shine :
To God and
Christ our praises bring,
The song with
which high heaven will ring,
Praises for
grace divine.
Song 196
verse 2
How rich the
precious blood He spilt,
Our ransom from
the dreadful guilt
Of sin against
our God ;
How perfect is
that righteousness,
In which
unspotted beauteous dress
His saints have
ever stood !
Song 196
verse 3
How rich the
character He bears,
And all the
form of love He wears,
Exalted on the
throne ;
In songs of
sweet untiring praise,
We e'er would
sing His perfect ways,
And make His
glories known.
Song 196
verse 4
And soon the
happy day shall come,
When we shall
reach our destined home,
And see Him
face to face ;
Then with our
Saviour, Lord and Friend,
The one
unbroken day we'll spend
In singing
still His grace.
Song 197
verse 1
O God, what
cords of love are Thine,
How gentle, yet
how strong !
Thy truth and
grace their strength combine
To draw our
souls along.
Song 197
verse 2
The guilt of
twice ten thousand sins
One moment
takes away ;
And when the
fight of faith begins,
Our strength is
as our day.
Song 197
verse 3
Comfort,
through all this vale of tears,
In blest
profusion flows ;
And glory of
unnumbered years
Eternity
bestows.
Song 197
verse 4
Drawn by such
cords we'll onward move,
Till round the
throne we meet,
And, captives
in the chains of love,
Embrace our
Saviour's feet.
Song 198
verse 1
Lord, accept
our feeble song !
Power and
praise to Thee belong ;
We would all
Thy grace record,
Holy, holy,
holy Lord !
Song 198
verse 2
Rich in glory,
Thou didst stoop,
Thence is all
Thy people's hope ;
Thou wast poor,
that we might be
Rich in glory,
Lord, with Thee.
Song 198
verse 3
When we think
of love like this,
Joy and shame
our hearts possess ;
Joy, that Thou
couldst pity thus ;
Shame, for such
returns from us.
Song 198

Yet we hope the
day to see
When from every
hindrance free,
When to Thee in
glory brought,
We shall serve
Thee as we ought.

Man of Sorrows !
what a name
For the Son of
God, who came
Ruined sinners

Bearing shame
and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned
He stood,
Sealed my
pardon with His blood.
Hallelujah !
What a Saviour !

verse 3
Guilty, vile,
and helpless, we ;
Spotless Lamb
of God was He :
Full atonement —
can it be ?
Hallelujah !
What a Saviour !

verse 4
Lifted up was
He to die,
"It is
finished" was His cry ;
Now in heaven,
exalted high :

What a Saviour !

When He comes,
as Lord and King,
All His
ransomed home to bring,
Then anew this
song we'll sing —
Hallelujah !
What a Saviour !

Father, how
precious unto Thee
Is Thy beloved
Son,
In whom Thou
dost perfection see,
Thy holy,
blessed One !
Song 200
verse 2
When He in
flesh the desert passed,
He loved to do
Thy will ;
His food it
was, through to the last,
Thy pleasure to
fulfil.
Song 200
verse 3
Only-begotten,
He revealed
Thyself unto
Thy praise :
The Father,
until then concealed,
Was seen in all
His ways.
Song 200
verse 4
As in His life,
so in His death,
He was devoted
still ;
For us in love
resigned His breath,
Obedient to Thy
will.
Song 200
verse 5
He glorified
Thee on the earth:
Thy work by Him
was done;
And Thou, who
knewest all His worth,
Didst glorify
Thy Son.

Now crowned and
seated on Thy throne,
He is Thy joy
and rest;
And we who are
through grace Thine own
In Him are
fully blest.

He,
preciousness itself to Thee,
To us is
precious too ;
We every beauty
in Him see,
And Thine own
glory view.

Thou holy One
and true,
Our hearts in
Thee confide,
And in the circle
of Thy love,

delight,
First-born
'mongst brethren Thou ;
To Thy dear Name

To Thy sure
word we bow.

Teach us that
Name to own,
Whilst waiting,
Lord, for Thee
Unholiness and
sin to shun,
From all
untruth to flee.
Song 202
verse 1
What will it be
to dwell above,
And with the
Lord of glory reign,
Since the blest
knowledge of His love
So brightens
all this dreary plain ?
No heart can
think, no tongue can tell,
What joy 'twill
be with Christ to dwell.
Song 202
verse 2
When sin no
more obstructs the sight,
And flesh and
sense deceive no more,
When we shall
see the Prince of light,
And all His
works of grace explore,
What heights
and depths of love divine
Will there
through endless ages shine !
Song 202
verse 3
And God has
fixed the happy day,
When the last
tear shall dim our eyes ;
When He will
wipe these tears away,
And fill our
hearts with glad surprise ;
To hear His
voice, and see His face,
And know the
fullness of His grace !
Song 203
verse 1
Thou God of
grace our Father,
We now rejoice
before Thee ;
Thy children
we, and loved by Thee,
'Tis meet we
should adore Thee :
As Thine Thou

For such was
Thine election ;
And Thou hast
shown to us, Thine own,
Thy fullness of
affection.
Song 203
verse 2
The grace of
Thy salvation
The Holy Ghost
has taught us ;
By Him we're sealed,

In its

Shall bless Thy
name, with Christ the Lamb,
Thou God of all
salvation.

think of those at rest,
Who sleep in
Christ the Lord,

According to

pilgrims here with us;
Through Jesus
now they sleep :
And we for
them, while resting thus,
As hopeless
cannot weep.
Song 204
verse 3
How bright the
resurrection-morn
On all the
saints will break !

Himself will then return
His ransomed
church to take.

Or raised or
changed His saints will meet,
All grief and
care removed :
What joy 'twill
be to us to greet
Each saint whom
here we loved !

Our Lord
Himself we then shall see,
Whose blood for
us was shed ;
With Him for
ever we shall be,
Made like our
glorious Head.

Christ's glory
to display.

grace our Father,
We now rejoice
before Thee ;

Makes melody to
Thee.

Then teach Thy
gathered saints, O Lord,
To worship in
Thy fear;
And let Thy
grace mould every word
That meets Thy
holy ear.

blood made sinners meet,
As saints in
light, to come
And worship at
the mercy-seat,
Before the
eternal throne.

passport, Lord ;

Now may the God
of peace and love,
Who from the
silent grave,
Brought back
the Shepherd of the sheep,
Omnipotent to
save,
Song 207

Through the
rich merits of that blood
Which He on
Calvary spilt,
To make the
gracious work secure,
On which our
hopes are built —

Perfect our
souls in every grace,
To do His
blessed will,
And all that's
pleasing in His sight
Inspire us to
fulfil.

For His, the
risen Shepherd's sake,
We every blessing
pray ;
With glory let
His name be crowned
Through
heaven's eternal day.
Song 208

In hope we lift
our wishful, longing eyes,
Waiting to see
the Morning Star arise ;
How bright, how
gladsome will His advent be,
Before the Sun
shines forth in majesty !
Song 208
verse 2
How will our
eyes to see His face delight,
Whose love has
cheered us through the darksome night !
How will our
ears drink in His well-known voice,
Whose faintest
whispers make our soul rejoice !
Song 208
verse 3
No stain within;
no foes or snares around ;
No jarring
notes shall there discordant sound ;
All pure
without, all pure within the breast;
No thorns to
wound, no toil to mar our rest.
Song 208
verse 4
If here on
earth the thoughts of Jesus' love
Lift our poor
hearts this weary world above ;
If even here
the taste of heavenly springs
So cheers the
spirit, that the pilgrim sings:
Song 208
verse 5
What will the
sunshine of His glory prove !
What the
unmingled fullness of His love !
What
hallelujahs will His presence raise !
What but one
loud, eternal burst of praise !
Song 209
verse 1
Our times are
in Thy hand,
Father, we wish
them there;
Our life, our
soul, our all, we leave
Entirely to Thy
care.
Song 209
verse 2
Our times are
in Thy hand,
Whatever they
may be,
Pleasing or
painful, dark or bright,
As best may
seem to Thee.
Song 209
verse 3
Our times are
in Thy hand ;
Why should we
doubt or fear ?
A Father's hand
will never cause
His child a
needless tear.
Song 209
verse 4
Our times are
in Thy hand ;
Jesus once crucified,
Now leads His
own with tender care,
Our Shepherd,
Guard and Guide.
Song 209
verse 5
Our times are
in Thy hand ;
Christ is our
Advocate ;
No creature
power from love divine
Our souls can
separate.
Song 209
verse 6
Our times are
in Thy hand,
We'd always
trust in Thee,
Till we have
left this weary land,
And all Thy
glory see.
Song 210
verse 1
"One
spirit with the Lord ;"
Oh, blessed,
wondrous word !
What heavenly
light, what power divine,
Doth that sweet
word afford !
Song 210
verse 2
"One spirit
with the Lord :"
Jesus, the
glorified,
Esteems the
church for which He bled,
His body and
His bride.
Song 210
verse 3
And though by
storms assailed,
And though by
trials pressed,
Himself our
Life, He bears us up
Right onward to
the rest.
Song 210
verse 4
There we shall
drink the stream
Of endless
bliss above :
There we shall
know, without a cloud,
His full
unbounded love.
Song 211
verse 1
1 O Jesus
Christ, the Saviour,
We only look to
Thee ;
'Tis in Thy
love and favour
Our souls find
liberty.
While Satan
fiercely rages,
And shipwreck
we might fear,
'Tis this our
grief assuages
That Thou art
always near.
Song 211
verse 2
Yes, though the
tempest round us
Seems safety to
defy ;
Though rocks
and shoals surround us,
And billows
swell on high,
Thou dost from
all protect us,
And cheer us by
Thy love ;
Thy counsels
still direct us
Safe to the
rest above.
Song 211
verse 3
There with what
joy reviewing
Past conflicts,
dangers, fears,
Thy hand our
foes subduing,
And drying all
our tears ;
Our hearts with
rapture burning,
The path we
shall retrace,
Where now our
souls are learning
The riches of
Thy grace.
Song 211
verse 4
Oh, then how
loud the chorus
Shall to Thy
name resound
From all at
rest before us,
From all Thy
grace hath found !
One joyful song
for ever
Each heart,
each lip shall raise,
The praise of
our Redeemer,
Our God and
Father's praise.
Song 212
verse 1
Called from
above, and heavenly men by birth,
(Who once were
but the citizens of earth)
As pilgrims
here, we seek a heavenly home,
Our portion in
the ages yet to come.
Song 212
verse 2
Where all the
saints of every clime shall meet,
And each with
all shall all the ransomed greet,
But oh, the
height of bliss, our Lord, shall be
To owe it all,
and share it all, with Thee.
Song 212
verse 3
Thou wast the
image in man's lowly guise
Of the
invisible to mortal eyes;
Son of His
bosom, come from heaven above,
We see in Thee
incarnate, "God is love".
Song 212
verse 4
Thy lips the
Father's name to us reveal ;
What burning
power in all Thy words we feel,
As with
enraptured hearts we hear Thee tell
The heavenly
glories which Thou know'st so well !
Song 212
verse 5
No curse of
law, in Thee was sovereign grace,
And now what
glory in Thine unveiled face!
Thou didst
attract the wretched and the weak,
Thy joy the
wanderers and the lost to seek.
Song 212
verse 6
That precious
stream of water and of blood
Which from Thy
pierced side so freely flowed,
Has put away
our sins of scarlet dye,
Washed us from
every stain, and brought us nigh.
Song 212
verse 7
We are but strangers
here, we do not crave
A home on
earth, which gave Thee but a grave :
Thy cross has
severed ties which bound us here,
Thyself our
treasure in a brighter sphere.
Song 213
verse 1
Our sins were
laid on the Saviour's head,
The curse by
our Lord was borne ;
For us a victim
our Surety bled,
And endured
that death of scorn ;
Himself He gave
our poor hearts to win
(Lord, never
was love like Thine !)
From the paths
of folly, and shame, and sin,
And fill them
with joys divine.
Song 213
verse 2
Now void is the
place where our Saviour lay
When He entered
the gloomy grave ;
That by death
He the power of death might slay
And His lambs
from the lion save.
Oh! glorious
time when the Victor arose !
He liveth, no
more to die ;
He hath bruised
the head of our mighty foes,
For us was His
victory !
Song 213
verse 3
The gates of
heaven are opened wide,
At His name all
the angels bow ;
The Son of man
who was crucified
Is the King of
glory now:
We love to look
up and behold Him there,
The Lamb for
His chosen slain ;
And soon shall
His saints all His glories share,
With their Head
and their Lord shall reign.
Song 214
verse 1
How blessed is
our portion ! When we look
Upward, within
the veil, our life is there :
Our names are
written in the Lamb's own book,
For grace hath
made us each with Him an heir
Of all those
glories, which by right belong
To Him, whose
worthiness is heaven's eternal song.
Song 214
verse 2
We have a
Father in the heavens above,
We have a happy
home prepared on high ;
We have a
Saviour, whose surpassing love
Made Him
content e'en for our sins to die ;
He fought, and
has our cruel foes o'ercome,
And has engaged
to guard, and bring us safely home.
Song 214
verse 3
Yes, blessed is
our portion ! blessed He,
Who, in His
grace before the world began,
Did set on us
His love sovereign and free,
On us the
sinful heirs of dying man ;
And blessed us
with all blessings in His Son
Whose priceless
love our hearts from sin and folly won.
Song 215
verse 1
Oh solemn hour !
that hour alone
In solitary
might,
When God the
Father's only Son,
As man for
sinners to atone,
Expires —
amazing sight !
The Lord of
glory crucified !
The Prince of
life has bled and died !
Song 215
verse 2
O mystery of
mysteries !
Of life and
death the tree ;
Centre of two
eternities,
Which look,
with rapt, adoring eyes,
Onward and back
to Thee.
O cross of
Christ, where all His pain
And death is
our eternal gain.
Song 215
verse 3
Oh, how our
inmost hearts do move
While gazing on
that cross !
The death of
the Incarnate Love !
What shame,
what grief, what joy we prove,
That He should
die for us !
Our hearts were
broken by that cry,
"Eli, lama sabachthani ?"
Song 215 verse 4
Worthy of
death, O God, we were;
Thy judgment
was our due ;
In grace Thy
spotless Lamb did bear
Himself our sins
and guilt and shame;
Justice our
surety slew,
With Him our
surety we have died,
With Him we
there were crucified.
Song 216
verse 1
Lord, we
rejoice, that Thou art gone
To sit upon Thy
Father's throne ;
Thy path of
shame and suffering o'er,
Thy heart shall
grieve and mourn no more.
Song 216
verse 2
With joy our
wondering hearts retrace
Thy ways on
earth of power and grace ;
We sit as
learners at Thy feet,
Thy words than
honey far more sweet.
Song 216
verse 3
We gaze with
wonder at Thy cross,
With all its
suffering, shame and loss,
Where Thou for
us wast crucified,
And for our
sins a ransom died.
Song 216
verse 4
We love to look
within the tomb,
Robbed by Thy
death of all its gloom,
The stone for
ever rolled away ;
Thy death the
power of death did slay.
Song 216
verse 5
We joy to see
Thee, Lord, arise
Triumphant
through the opening skies ;
And hear all
heaven united own
Thee worthy to
ascend the throne.
Song 216
verse 6
Lord, now we
wait for Thee to come,
And take us to
Thy Father's home ;
What everlasting
joy 'twill be
To spend
eternity with Thee !
Song 217
verse 1
Soldiers of
Christ, arise,
and put your
armour on,
Strong in the
strength which God supplies
through His
eternal Son :
Strong in the
Lord of Hosts,
and in His
mighty pow’r,
Who in the
strength of Jesus trusts,
is more than
conqueror.
Song 217
verse 2
Your
— this is the
Father's will,
Though Satan
all his pow’rs address
to keep you
earthbound still ;
Christ in that
heav’nly sphere
has conqu’ring
gone before.
See ! your
inheritance is there,
and there your
holy war.
Song 217
verse 3
Stand then in
His great might,
with all His
strength endued ;
But take, to
arm you in the fight,
the Panoply of
God :
That having all
things done,
and all your
conflicts passed,
Ye may o'ercome,
through Christ alone,
and stand
entire at last.
Song 217
verse 4
But, above all,
lay hold
on faith's
victorious shield ;
Armed with that
adamant and gold,
be sure to win
the field :
If faith
surround your heart,
Satan shall be
subdued ;
Repelled his
ev’ry fiery dart,
and quenched
with God's own Word.
Song 217
verse 5
From strength
to strength go on,
wrestle, and
fight, and pray :
Tread all the
pow’rs of darkness down,
and win the
well --- fought day :
Still let the
Spirit cry
in all His
soldiers, «Come» ;
Till Christ the
Lord descend from high,
and take the
conqu’rors home.
Song 218
verse 1
Soon will the
Master come : soon pass away
Our times of
conflict, grief, and suff’ring here ;
Our night of
weeping end in cloudless day,
And sorrow's moment
like a dream appear :
Eternity with
Jesus — in the skies —
How soon that
Sun of righteousness may rise !
Song 218
verse 2
We shall behold
Him, whom not seen we love ;
We shall be
with Him, whom we long to see ;
We shall be
like Him, fit for realms above,
With Him, and
like Him, for eternity :
Is now to sit
at Jesus' feet our choice ?
How will
fruition then our souls rejoice !
Song 219
verse 1
Lord, what is
man ? 'Tis He who died
And all Thy
nature glorified,
Thy
righteousness and grace displayed
When He for sin
atonement made,
Obedient unto
death, was slain —
Worthy is He
o'er all to reign.
Song 219
verse 2
Thy counsels
ere the world began
All centred in
the Son of man,
Him destined to
the highest place,
Head of His
church through sovereign grace.
To Him,
enthroned in Majesty,
Let every
creature bend the knee.
Song 219
verse 3
Worthy, O Son
of man, art Thou
Of every crown
that decks Thy brow ;
Worthy art Thou
to be adored
And owned as
universal Lord ;
Oh, hasten that
long-promised day
When all shall
own Thy rightful sway !
Song 220
verse 1
Our hearts are
full of Christ, and long
Their glorious
matter to declare !
Of Him we make
our loftier song —
We cannot from
His praise forbear :
Our ready
tongues make haste to sing
The glories of
the heavenly King.
Song 220
verse 2
Fairer than all
the earth-born race,
Perfect in
comeliness Thou art ;
Replenished are
Thy lips with grace,
And full of
love Thy tender heart.
God ever blest !
we bow the knee,
And own all fullness
dwells in Thee.
Song 221
verse 1
Happy they who
trust in Jesus ;
Sweet their
portion is and sure ;
When the foe on
others seizes,
God will keep
His own secure :
Happy people !
Happy, though
despised and poor. (bis)
Song 221
verse 2
Since His love
and mercy found us,
We are precious
in His sight ;
Thousands now
may fall around us,
Thousands more
be put to flight,
But His
presence
Keeps us safe
by day and night. (bis)
Song 221
verse 3
Lo, our Saviour
never slumbers,
Ever watchful
is His care ;
Though we
cannot boast of numbers,
In His strength
secure we are :
Sweet their
portion,
Who our
Saviour's kindness share. (bis)
Song 221
verse 3
As the bird
beneath her feathers
Guards the
objects of her care,
So the Lord His
people gathers,
Spreads His
wings, and hides them there :
Thus protected,
All their foes
they boldly dare. (bis)
Song 222
verse 1
Everlasting
glory be,
God and Father,
unto Thee
'Tis with joy
Thy children raise
Hearts and
voices in Thy praise.
Song 222
verse 2
Thine the light
that showed our sin,
Showed how guilty
we had been :
Thine the love
that us to save
Thine own Son
for sinners gave.
Song 222
verse 3
Called to share
the rest of God
In the Father's
blest abode,
God of love and
God of light,
In Thy praises
we unite.
Song 222
verse 4
Gladly we Thy
grace proclaim,
Knowing now the
Father's name :
God and Father,
unto Thee
Everlasting
glory be !
Song 223
verse 1
O God, whose
wondrous name is Love,
Whose grace has
fashioned us anew,
Before Thy face
now stands the Lamb,
Whom sinful man
once pierced and slew :
For us Thy Son
Thou didst not spare,
For us how
canst Thou cease to care ?
Song 223
verse 2
O God our
Father, grant us all
The little
child's simplicity !
From us the
doubtful mind remove ;
We boast a God
that cannot lie !
Taught to
repose, through love divine,
On truth
itself, on truth divine.
Song 223
verse 3
Thou art the
Potter, we the clay,
Thy will be
ours, Thy truth our light,
Thy love the
fountain of our joy,
Thine arm a
safeguard day and night,
Till Thou shalt
wipe all tears away,
And bring forth
everlasting day.
Song 224
verse 1
Oh that we
never might forget
What Christ has
suffered for our sake
To save our
souls and make us meet
Of all His
glory to partake ;
But keeping
this in mind, press on
To glory and
the victor's crown !
Song 224
verse 2
But, gracious
Lord, when we reflect
How apt to turn
the eye from Thee,
Forget Thee,
too, with sad neglect,
And listen to
the enemy !
And yet to find
Thee still the same !
'Tis this that
humbles us with shame.
Song 224
verse 3
Astonished at
Thy feet we fall,
Thy love
exceeds our highest thought,
Henceforth be
Thou our all in all,
Thou who our
souls with blood hast bought ;
May we
henceforth more faithful prove,
And ne'er
forget Thy ceaseless love.
Song 225
verse 1
Oh scenes of
heavenly joy !
The Father's
house above,
Where cloudless
peace without alloy,
Fills all that
home of love.
Song 225
verse 2
There glory
bright and fair,
Shines with
celestial beam ;
For He who
suffered once is there,
Its centre and
its theme.
Song 225
verse 3
The Father's
full delight
Is centred in
the Son,
And countless
tongues in heaven unite
To tell what He
hath done.
Song 225
verse 4
The Lamb
enthroned shall there
Engage each
raptured heart,
While myriad
saints Christ's likeness bear
And have with
Him their part.
Song 225
verse 5
'Tis He who
made us meet
With saints in
light to dwell ;
And now we
chant His praises sweet,
Whose love we
know so well.
Song 225
verse 6
E'en now we
taste the love,
And know the
mighty power,
By which we'll

When waiting
time is o'er.

Praise Him
again, again —
For us the
cross He bore ;
Now all is Yea,
and all Amen,
In Him for
evermore.
Song 226
verse 1
And art Thou,
gracious Master, gone
For us a
mansion to prepare ?
Shall we behold
Thee on Thy throne,
And sit for
ever with Thee there ?
Then let the
world approve or blame,
We'll triumph
in Thy glorious name.
Song 226
verse 2
Should we to
gain the world's applause,
Or to escape
its harmless frown,
Refuse to
countenance Thy cause,
And make Thy people's
lot our own,
What shame
would fill us in that day,
When Thou Thy
glory wilt display !
Song 226
verse 3
Yea, let the
world cast out our name,
And vile
account us if it will ;
If to confess
our Lord be shame,
Oh, then we
would be viler still ;
For Thee, O
Lord, we all resign,
Content that
Thou dost call us Thine.
Song 226
verse 4
What transports
then will fill our heart
When Thou
Thyself our names wilt own,
When we shall
see Thee as Thou art
And know as we
ourselves are known,
And then from
sin and sorrow free
Find our
eternal rest with Thee.
Song 227
verse 1
Lord, e'en to
death Thy love could go,
A death of
shame and loss,
To vanquish for
us every foe,
And break the
strong man's force.
Song 227
verse 2
Oh ! what
a load was Thine to bear
Alone in that
dark hour,
Our sins in all
their terror there,
God's wrath and
Satan's power !
Song 227
verse 3
The storm that
bowed Thy blessed head
Is hushed for
ever now,
And rest divine
is ours instead,
Whilst glory
crowns Thy brow.
Song 227
verse 4
Within the
Father's house on high,
We soon shall
sing Thy praise;
But here, where
Thou didst bleed and die,
We learn that
song to raise.
Song 228
verse 1
To Thee our
God, with joy we sing
Of Jesus' walk
and ways ;
A pure « mealoff’ring »
thus we bring,
All fragrant to
His praise.
Song 228
verse 2
In all His
perfect path from birth
We see Thy
glory shine ;
In every step
He took on earth
Was grace and
truth divine.
Song 228
verse 3
Thy faithful
Witness, holy, true,
He was indeed
the light ;
Though only
those His glory knew
To whom Thou
gavest sight.
Song 228
verse 4
Here was He
come – 'twas meet for Him
Thy Servant
Just to be ;
Though sorrow's
cup o'erflowed its brim,
The joy He gave
to Thee.
Song 228
verse 5
Tis little we
to Thee can show
Of all that He
hath done ;
But Thou dost
all the virtues know
Of Thy beloved
One.
Song 228
verse 6
His praises we
would fain proclaim,
And, in His
name divine,
Upraise to Thee
pure worship's flame –
The « frankincense »
is Thine.
Song 229
verse 1
We're not of
the world which fadeth away,
We're not of
the night, but children of day ;
The chains that
once bound us by Jesus are riv’n,
We're strangers
on earth, and our home is in heav’n.
Song 229
verse 2
Our path is
most rugged, and dangerous too,
A wide
trackless waste our journey lies through ;
But the pillar
of cloud that shows us our way
Is our sure
light by night, and shades us by day.
Song 229
verse 3
Our Shepherd is
still our Guardian and Guide ;
Before us He
goes to help and provide ;
The springs
that refresh us by Him have been giv’n,
Our bread is
the Manna that came down from heav’n.
Song 229
verse 4
'Mid mightiest
foes most feeble are we,
Yet trembleing
before our great Leader they flee ;
The Lord is our
banner, the battle is His,
The weakest of
saints more than conqueror is.
Song 229
verse 5
And soon shall
we enter our own promised land,
Before His
bright throne in glory shall stand ;
Our song then
for ever and ever shall be,
All glory and
blessing, Lord Jesus, to Thee !
Song 230
verse 1
O Lord, when we
the path retrace
Which Thou on
earth hast trod,
To man Thy
wondrous love and grace,
Thy
faithfulness to God ;
Song 230
verse 2
Thy love, by
man so sorely tried,
Proved stronger
than the grave ;
The very spear
that pierced Thy side
Drew forth the
blood to save ;
Song 230
verse 3
Faithful amidst
unfaithfulness,
'Mid darkness
only light,
Thou didst Thy
Father's name confess,
And in His will
delight;
Song 230
verse 4
Unmoved by
Satan's subtle wiles,
Or suffering,
shame and loss,
Thy path,
uncheered by earthly smiles,
Led only to the
cross : —
Song 230
verse 5
We wonder at
Thy lowly mind,
And fain would
like Thee be,
And all our
rest and pleasure find
In learning,
Lord, of Thee.
Song 231
verse 1
To Thee our
God, with joy we sing
Of Jesus' walk
and ways ;
A pure
"meal-offering" thus we bring,
All fragrant to
His praise.
Song 231
verse 2
In all His
perfect path from birth
We see Thy
glory shine ;
In every step
He took on earth
Was grace and

Thy faithful

The joy He gave
to Thee.

'Tis little we

Of all that He

all the virtues know
Of Thy beloved
One.

His praises we
would fain proclaim,
And, in His
name divine,
Upraise to Thee
pure worship's flame —
The
"frankincense" is Thine.
Song 232
verse 1
Gathered to Thy
name, Lord Jesus,
Gathered here
with one accord,
Thine own self
we own among us,
Faithful to Thy
promised word ;
May our eyes on
Thee, blest Saviour,
Rest with one
unceasing gaze,
And our hearts,
with Thee enraptured,
Overflow with
songs of praise.
Song 232
verse 2
As we wait in
Thine own presence,
Brought by Thee
to God so nigh,
As we solemnly
remember,
Thou for us
didst deign to die,
May our souls
bow down before Thee
Who didst bear
our every sin,
And in hallowed
sweet communion
Here below Thy
praise begin.
Song 233
verse 1
Jesus, Lord, we
come together
In the bonds of
Thine own love ;
Thou hast drawn
our footsteps hither,
Its deep
meaning now to prove.
Song 233
verse 2
Closed the door
— we leave behind us
Toil and
conflict, foes and strife ;
And within, Thy
love doth bind us
In one
fellowship of life.
Song 233
verse 3
Here together
we recall Thee,
In Thy presence
break the bread ;
Never more can
grief befall Thee,
Thou art risen
from the dead.
Song 233
verse 4
But Thy love
remains, that entered
Into death to
make us Thine;
In that death
all love was centred —
Thankful now we
drink the wine.
Song 233
verse 5
Thou dost make
us taste the blessing,
Soon to fill a
world of bliss ;
And we bless
Thy name confessing
Thine own love
our portion is.
Song 233
verse 6
Sweet it is to
sit before Thee,
Sweet to hear
Thy blessed voice,
Sweet to
worship and adore Thee,
While our
hearts in Thee rejoice.
Song 234
verse 1
We're not of
the world which fadeth away,
We're not of
the night, but children of day ;
The chains that
once bound us by Jesus are riven,
We're strangers
on earth, and our home is in heaven.
Song 234
verse 2
Our path is
most rugged, and dangerous too,
A wide

But the pillar
of cloud that shows us our way
Is our sure
light by night, and shades us by day.

And soon shall
we enter our own promised land,
Before His
bright throne in glory shall stand ;
Our song then
for ever and ever shall be,
All glory and
blessing, Lord Jesus, to Thee !
Song 235
verse 1
We'll praise
Thee, glorious Lord,
Who died to set
us free,
No earthly
songs can joy afford
Like heavenly
melody.
Song 235
verse 2
Love that no
suffering stayed,
We'll praise
true love divine ;
Love that for
us atonement made,
Love that has
made us Thine.
Song 235
verse 3
Love in Thy
lonely life
Of sorrow here
below ;
Thy words of
grace, with mercy rife,
Make grateful
praises flow.
Song 235
verse 4
Love that on
death's dark vale
Its sweetest
odours spread,
Where sin o'er
all seemed to prevail,
Redemption's
glory shed.
Song 235
verse 5
And now we see
Thee risen,
Who once for us
hast died,
Seated above
the highest heaven,
The Father's
glorified.

verse 6
Soon wilt Thou
take Thy throne,
Thy foes Thy
footstool made,
And take us
with Thee for Thine own,
In glory love
displayed.

verse 7
Jesus, we wait
for Thee,
With Thee to
have our part;
What can full
joy and blessing be
But being where
Thou art ?
Song 236
verse 1
O gracious
Father, God of love,
We own Thy
power to save,
That power by
which the Shepherd rose
Victorious o'er
the grave.
Song 236
verse 2
Him from the
dead Thou brought'st again,
When, by His
precious blood
Confirmed and
sealed for evermore,
The eternal
covenant stood.
Song 236
verse 3
O may Thy
Spirit guide our souls,
And mould them
to Thy will,
That from Thy
paths we ne'er may stray,
But keep Thy
precepts still!
Song 236
verse 4
That to the
Saviour's stature full
We nearer still
may rise,
And all we
think, or say, or do,
Be pleasing in
Thine eyes.
Song 237
verse 1
Rejoice, ye
saints, rejoice and praise
The blessings
of redeeming grace;
Jesus, our
everlasting tower,
Mocks at the
angry tempest's roar.
Song 237
verse 2
His love's a
refuge ever nigh,
His
watchfulness, a mountain high;
His name's a
rock, which winds above
Or waves below
can never move.
Song 237
verse 3
His
faithfulness, for ever sure,
For endless
ages will endure;
His perfect
work will ever prove
The depths of
His unchanging love.
Song 237
verse 4
While all
things change, He changes not,
Nor e'er
forgets, though oft forgot;
His love's
unchangeably the same,
And as enduring
as His name.
Song 238
verse 1
Our Shepherd is
the Lord,
The living Lord
who died :
With all His
fullness can afford
We are
supplied.
He richly feeds
our souls
With blessings
from above ;
And leads us
where the river rolls
Of endless
love.
Song 238
verse 2
Our souls He
doth restore,
And keeps us in
His way ;
He makes our
cup of joy run o'er,
From day to day ;
Through love so
full, so deep,
Anointed is our
head;
Mercy and
goodness us shall keep,
Where'er we
tread.
Song 238
verse 3
When faith and hope shall cease,
And love abide
alone,
Then shall we
see Him face to face,
And know as
known :
Still shall we
lift our voice,
His praise our
song shall be ;
And we shall in
His love rejoice
Who set us
free.
Song 239
verse 1
Salvation's
Captain, and the Guide
Of all that
seek the rest above,
Beneath Thy
shadow we abide,
The cloud of
Thy protecting love ;
Our strength,
Thy grace; our rule, Thy word ;
Our end, the
glory of our Lord.
Song 239
verse 2
Lord, by Thy
Word and Spirit led,
We shall not in
the desert stray,
Or light for
our direction need,
Or lose, if
dark and drear, our way ;
Still kept from
danger and from fear,
Since Thy
almighty love is near.
Song 240
verse 1
May the
Saviour's love and merit
Fill our hearts
both night and day,
And the unction
of His Spirit
All our
thoughts and actions sway.
Song 240
verse 2
May we thus, in
God confiding,
And from
self-dependence free,
Find our rest —
in Christ abiding —
Till with joy
Himself we see.
Song 241
verse 1
Saviour,
through the desert lead us,
Without Thee we
cannot go ;
Thou from cruel
chains hast freed us,
And hast laid
the tyrant low :
Let Thy
presence
Cheer us all
our journey through.
Song 241
verse 2
Through a
desert waste and cheerless,
Though our
destined journey lie,
Rendered by Thy
presence fearless,
We may every
foe defy :
Nought shall
move us,
While we see
Thee, Saviour, nigh.
Song 241
verse 3
With a price
Thy love has bought us,
(Saviour, what
a love is Thine !)
Hitherto Thy
power has brought us,
(Power and love
in Thee combine) :
Lord of glory,
Ever on Thy
loved ones shine !
Song 242
verse 1
Sing aloud to
God our strength ;
He has brought
us hitherto :
He will bring
us home at length ;
This the Lord
our God will do :
Doubt not, for
His word is stable ;
Fear not, for
His arm is able.
Song 242
verse 2
Sing aloud to
God our strength ;
Sing with
wonder of His love ;
Who can tell
its breadth or length,
Who below, or
who above ?
Who its depth
and height can measure ?
'Tis a rich
unbounded treasure !
Song 242
verse 3
Sing aloud to
God our strength ;
He is with us
where we go ;
Fear we not the
journey's length,
Fear we not the
mighty foe :
All our foes
shall be defeated,
And our journey
safe completed.
Song 243
verse 1
O Lord, we
would delight in Thee,
And on Thy care
depend ;
To Thee in
every trouble flee,
Our safe,
unfailing Friend.
Song 243
verse 2
When human
cisterns all are dried,
Thy fulness is
the same ;
May we with
this be satisfied,
And glory in
Thy name.
Song 243
verse 3
Why should we thirst
for ought below,
While there's a
fountain near,
A fountain
which doth ever flow
The fainting
heart to cheer ?
Song 243
verse 4
No good in
creatures can be found ;
All, all is
found in Thee :
We must have
all things and abound
Through Thy
sufficiency.
Song 243
verse 5
Thou that hast
made our heaven secure
Wilt here all
good provide ;
While Thou art
rich, can we be poor —
Thou who for us
hast died ?
Song 243
verse 6
O Lord, we cast
each care on Thee,
And triumph and
adore ;
O that our
great concern may be
To love and
praise Thee more.
Song 244
verse 1
That bright and
blessed morn is near
When He, the
Bridegroom, shall appear,
And call His
bride away.
Her blessing
then shall be complete,
When with her
Lord she takes her seat
In everlasting
day.
Song 244
verse 2
The days and
months are gliding past,
Soon shall be
heard the trumpet's blast
Which wakes the
sleeping saints.
The dead in
Christ in glory rise,
When we with
them shall reach the skies,
Where Jesus for
us waits.
Song 244
verse 3
What wonder,
joy, and glad surprise
Shall fill our
hearts as thus we rise
To meet Him in
the air ;
To see His
face, to hear His voice,
And in His
perfect love rejoice,
Whose glory
then we'll share !
Song 244
verse 4
No more
deferred our hope shall be,
No longer through
a glass we'll see,
But clearly,
face to face.
We'll dwell
with Jesus then above,
Whom absent we
have learned to love,
Blest objects
of His grace.
Song 244
verse 5
O may this hope
our spirits cheer,
While waiting
for our Saviour here !
He'll quickly
come again.
O may our
hearts look for that day,
And to His word
responsive say,
"Come,
Jesus Lord, Amen".
Song 245
verse 1
On that same
night, Lord Jesus,
When all around
combined
To cast its
darkest shadow
Across Thy holy
mind,
We hear Thy
voice, blest Saviour,
"This do,
remember Me :"
With joyful
hearts responding,
We do remember
Thee.
Song 245
verse 2
The depth of
all Thy suffering
No heart could
e'er conceive,
The cup of
wrath unmingled
For us Thou
didst receive;
Thou wast of
God forsaken
On the accursed
tree ;
With grateful
hearts, Lord Jesus,
We now remember
Thee.
Song 245
verse 3
We think of all
the darkness
Which round Thy
spirit pressed,
Of all those
waves and billows,
Which rolled
across Thy breast.
Oh, there Thy
grace unbounded
And perfect love
we see;
With joy and
sorrow mingling,
We would
remember Thee.
Song 245
verse 4
We know Thee
now as risen,
The Firstborn
from the dead ;
We see Thee now
ascended,
The church's
glorious Head.
In Thee by
grace accepted,
The heart and
mind set free
To think of all
Thy sorrow,
And thus
remember Thee.
Song 245
verse 5
Till Thou shalt
come in glory
And call us
hence away,
To rest in all
the brightness
Of that
unclouded day,
We show Thy
death, Lord Jesus,
And here would
seek to be
More to Thy
death conformed,
Whilst we
remember Thee.
Song 246
verse 1
From every
stormy wind that blows,
From every
swelling tide of woes,
There is a
calm, a sweet retreat ;
'Tis found
before the mercy-seat.
Song 246
verse 2
There is a
place where mercy sheds
The oil of
gladness on our heads,
A place than
all beside more sweet :
It is the
heavenly mercy-seat.
Song 246
verse 3
There is a spot
where souls unite,
And saint meets
saint in heavenly light ;
Though sundered
far, by faith they meet
Before the
common mercy-seat.
Song 246
verse 4
Ah, whither
could we flee for aid
When tempted,
desolate, dismayed ?
Or how the
hosts of hell defeat,
Had suffering
saints no mercy-seat ?
Song 246
verse 5
Thither by
faith we'd upward soar,
Let time and
sense seem all no more ;
For freely God
our souls can greet
Where glory
crowns the mercy-seat.
Song 247
verse 1
And is it so ?
we shall be like Thy Son !
Is this the
grace which He for us has won ?
Father of
glory, thought beyond all thought,
In glory, to
His own blest likeness brought.
Song 247
verse 2
O Jesus Lord,
who loved us like to Thee ?
Fruit of Thy
work, with Thee, too, there to see
Thy glory,
Lord, while endless ages roll,
Thy saints the
prize and travail of Thy soul.
Song 247
verse 3
Yet it must be,
Thy love had not its rest
Were Thy
redeemed not with Thee fully blest ;
That love that
gives not as the world, but shares
All it
possesses with its loved co-heirs.
Song 247
verse 4
Nor we alone,
Thy loved ones all, complete
In glory round
Thee there with joy shall meet,
All like Thee,
for Thy glory like Thee, Lord,
Object supreme
of all, by all adored.
Song 248
verse 1
Thou, Thou art
worthy, Lord,
Of most
untiring praise ;
The Lamb once
slain shall be adored
Through
everlasting days.
Song 248
verse 2
Heaven's vault
with praise shall ring
Louder and yet
more loud ;
Millions of
saints Thy worth shall sing
Each heart in
worship bowed.
Song 248
verse 3
Worthy !
again, again —
Angels with
saints combine,
Ascribing to
the Lamb once slain
Wisdom and
power divine.
Song 248
verse 4
The tide shall
still roll on,
That tide of
endless praise,
Till every
creature to Thy throne
Its voice in
blessing raise.
Song 248
verse 5
O Lord, the
glad new song
Is ours e'en
here to sing ;
With loyal
heart and joyful tongue
We now our
homage bring.
Song 248
verse 6
"Worthy !"
we cry again,
"Worthy
for evermore !"
And at Thy
feet, O Lamb once slain,
We worship, we
adore.
Song 249
verse 1
O Lord, in Thee
believing,
Our souls have
peace with God,
Eternal life
receiving,
The purchase of
Thy blood.
Song 249
verse 2
Our curse and
condemnation
Thou barest in
our stead ;
Secure is our
salvation,
In Thee our
risen Head.
Song 249
verse 3
The Holy Ghost
revealing
Thy grace hath
given us rest,
Thy stripes
have been our healing,
Thy love doth
make us blest ;
Song 249
verse 4
In Thee the
Father sees us
Accepted and
complete :
Grace which
from evil frees us
For glory makes
us meet.
Song 250
verse 1
From various
cares our hearts retire,
Though deep and
boundless their desire,
We've now to
please but One,
Him, before
whom each knee shall bow,
With Him is all
our business now,
And those that
are His own.
Song 250
verse 2
With these our
happy lot is cast,
Through the
world's deserts rude and waste,
Or through its
gardens fair ;
Whether the
storms of trouble sweep,
Or all in dead
supineness sleep,
To advance be
all our care.
Song 250
verse 3
O Lord, the
way, the truth, the life,
Henceforth let
sorrow, doubt and strife
Drop off like
autumn leaves ;
Henceforth, as
privileged by Thee,
Simple and
undistracted be
The soul which
to Thee cleaves.
Song 250
verse 4
Let us our
feebleness recline
On that eternal
love of Thine,
And human
thoughts forget ;
Childlike
attend what Thou wilt say,
Go forth and
serve Thee while 'tis day,
Nor leave our
sweet retreat.
Song 251
verse 1
Lord Jesus
Christ, our Saviour Thou,
With joy we
worship Thee,
We know Thou
hast redeemed us,
By dying on the
tree.
Song 251
verse 2
We know the
love that brought Thee down,
Down from that
bliss on high ;
To meet our
ruined souls in need,
On Calvary's
cross to die.
Song 251
verse 3
Our Saviour
Jesus — Lord Thou art,
Eternal is Thy
love ;
Eternal, too,
our songs of praise,
When with Thee,
Lord, above.
Song 251
verse 4
E'en now we
praise the grace divine,
The love that
shines in Thee ;
The rich One
Thou — for us made poor,
By death to set
us free.
Song 251
verse 5
We praise, we
worship, we adore,
As round
Thyself we meet ;
Thy beauty,
Lord, our souls transports,
While bowing at
Thy feet.
Song 251
verse 6
Our theme of
praise art Thou alone,
Thy cross, Thy
work, Thy word ;
Oh! who can
fathom all Thy love,
Thou living
blessed Lord ?
Song 252
verse 1
Sweet the
moments, rich in blessing,
Musing o'er the
cross we spend ;
Life, and
health, and peace possessing
From the dying
sinners' Friend.
Song 252
verse 2
Here we rest —
in wonder viewing
All our guilt
on Jesus laid,
And a full
redemption flowing
From the
sacrifice He made.
Song 252
verse 3
Here we find
the dawn of heaven,
While upon the
Lamb we gaze,
See our
trespasses forgiven,
And our songs
of triumph raise.
Song 252
verse 4
O that strong
in faith abiding,
We may to the
Saviour cleave,
Nought with Him
our hearts dividing,
All for Him
content to leave !
Song 252
verse 5
May we still,
God's mind discerning,
To the Lamb for
wisdom go ;
There new wonders
daily learning,
All the depths
of mercy know.
Song 253
verse 1
Since Christ
and we are one,
What room for
doubt or fear ?
He sits upon
the Father's throne,
And we are in
Him there.
Song 253
verse 2
The Spirit doth
unite
Our souls to
Him our Head,
And forms us to
His image bright,
While in His
steps we tread.
Song 253
verse 3
And grace it
is, free grace,
Which keeps us
on the road,
Till we behold
the Saviour's face,
And city of our
God.
Song 254
verse 1
Death and
judgment are behind us,
Grace and glory
are before ;
All the billows
rolled o'er Jesus,
There they
spent their utmost power.
Song 254
verse 2
First-fruits of
the resurrection,
He is risen
from the tomb ;
Now we stand in
new creation,
Free; because
beyond our doom.
Song 254
verse 3
Jesus died, and
we died with Him,
Buried in His
grave we lay,
One with Him in
resurrection,
Now in Him in
heaven's bright day.
Song 255
verse 1
The Prince of
life, once slain for us,
Is now gone up
on high ;
Captivity is
captive led,
And Christ no
more can die.
Song 255
verse 2
His word is
faithfulness and truth,
"Behold, I
quickly come" ;
And faith, that
counts the promise sure,
Can pierce the
midnight gloom.
Song 255
verse 3
Far spent
already is the night,
In hope we hail
the day
Of our beloved
Lord's return
To wipe all
tears away.
Song 255
verse 4
Jesus, at the
appointed hour,
In glory shall
appear ;
Then, fashioned
by His mighty hand,
We shall His
image bear.
Song 255
verse 5
Soon shall the
saints with glory crowned
Dwell in that
cloudless light,
And see their
Lord in glory owned,
Heaven's
constant sweet delight.
Song 256
verse 1
Lord Jesus
Christ, our Saviour Thou,
With joy we
worship Thee,
We know Thou
hast redeemed us,
By dying on the
tree.
Song 256
verse 2
We know the
love that brought Thee down,
Down from that
bliss on high ;
To meet our
ruined souls in need,
On Calvary's
cross to die.
Song 256
verse 3
Our Saviour
Jesus — Lord Thou art,
Eternal is Thy
love ;
Eternal, too,
our songs of praise,
When with Thee,
Lord, above.
Song 256
verse 4
E'en now we
praise the grace divine,
The love that
shines in Thee ;
The rich One
Thou — for us made poor,
By death to set
us free.
Song 256
verse 5
We praise, we
worship, we adore,
As round
Thyself we meet ;
Thy beauty,
Lord, our souls transports,
While bowing at
Thy feet.
Song 256
verse 6
Our theme of
praise art Thou alone,
Thy cross, Thy
work, Thy word ;
Oh ! who
can fathom all Thy love,
Thou living
blessed Lord ?
Song 257
verse 1
Himself He
could not save,
He on the cross
must die,
Or mercy could
not come
To ruined
sinners nigh;
Yes, Christ,
the Son of God, must bleed
That sinners
might from sin be freed.
Song 257
verse 2
Himself He
could not save,
For justice
must be done ;
Our sins' full
weight must fall
Upon the
sinless One ;
For nothing
less could God accept
In payment of
that fearful debt.
Song 257
verse 3
Himself He
could not save,
For He the
Surety stood
For all who now
rely
Upon His
precious blood;
He bore the
penalty of guilt
When on the
cross His blood was spilt.
Song 257
verse 4
Himself He
could not save,
Love's stream
too deeply flowed,
In love Himself
He gave,
To pay the debt
we owed.
Obedience to
His Father's will,
And love to Him
did all fulfil.
Song 257
verse 5
And now exalted
high : —
A Prince and
Saviour He,
That sinners
might draw nigh
And drink of
mercy free,
Of mercy now so
richly shed,
For Jesus
liveth who was dead.
Song 258
verse 1
O Jesus, Thou
hast promised
To all who
follow Thee
That where Thou
art in glory
There shall Thy
servant be ;
And Jesus, I
have promised
To serve Thee
to the end ;
Oh, give me
grace to follow
My Master and
my Friend.
Song 258
verse 2
Oh, let me feel
Thee near me;
The world is
ever near ;
I see the
sights that dazzle,
The tempting
sounds I hear ;
My foes are
ever near me,
Around me and
within ;
But, Jesus,
draw Thou nearer,
And shield my
soul from sin.
Song 258
verse 3
Oh, let me hear
Thee speaking,
In accents
clear and still,
Above the
storms of passion,
The murmurs of
self-will.
Oh, speak to
reassure me,
To hasten, or
control ;
Oh, speak, and
make me listen,
Thou Guardian
of my soul.
Song 259
verse 1
O Jesus, Thou
hast promised
To all who
follow Thee
That where Thou
art in glory
There shall Thy
servant be ;
And Jesus, I
have promised
To serve Thee
to the end ;
Oh, give me grace
to follow
My Master and
my Friend.
Song 259
verse 2
Oh, let me feel
Thee near me;
The world is
ever near;
I see the
sights that dazzle,
The tempting
sounds I hear ;
My foes are
ever near me,
Around me and
within;
But, Jesus,
draw Thou nearer,
And shield my
soul from sin.
Song 259
verse 3
Oh, let me hear
Thee speaking,
In accents
clear and still,
Above the
storms of passion,
The murmurs of
self-will.
Oh, speak to
reassure me,
To hasten, or
control;
Oh, speak, and
make me listen,
Thou Guardian
of my soul.
Song 260
verse 1
Father, Oh,
what boundless glory
In Thy name of
love we know,
No more sweet,
more wondrous story,
Than Thy heart
revealed below.
Song 260
verse 2
Thou whose
blessed name is Holy —
Majesty supreme
is Thine ;
Yet in One so
meek and lowly
We behold Thy
brightness shine !
Song 260
verse 3
He in whom Thy
heart delighted,
Sent to earth,
to grief and shame :
Here, where all
before had slighted,
He alone
declared Thy Name.
Song 260
verse 4
'Mid the
darkness, Light resplendent,
Purest, gentlest
Stranger, He ;
While the
world, in bitter ferment,
Hated both
Himself and Thee.
Song 260
verse 5
Then the cup,
from Thy hand given,
E'en to Thy
beloved Son !
Perfume sweet
ascends to heaven:
His most
glorious work is done.
Song 260
verse 6
Blessed,
beauteous contemplation —
Theme more full
than all beside —
Cause of
deepest adoration —
Thou, through
Christ, art glorified !
Song 261
verse 1
The Holy One
who knew no sin,
God made Him
sin for us ;
The Saviour
died our souls to win,
Upon the
shameful cross.
His precious
blood alone availed
To wash our
sins away ;
Through
weakness He o'er hell prevailed,
Through death
He won the day.
Song 261
verse 2
His beauty
shineth far above
Our feeble
power of praise ;
And we shall
live and learn His love
Through
everlasting days.
The knowing
this, that us He loves,
Hath made our
cup run o'er ;
Jesus, Thy name
our spirit moves,
Today and
evermore.
Song 262
verse 1
O Jesus, Lord,
Great Shepherd of Thy sheep,
Lead Thou us on :
Foolish and
weak, we need Thee still to keep
And lead us on :
Dangers abound,
and we are not yet home,
O keep us near,
nor let us from Thee roam.
Song 262
verse 2
Thy blood was
shed that we might with Thee be
At home on
high,
Amid that scene
of light and radiancy
Beyond the sky.
Yet even here
we know Thee near, and hear
Thy voice, and
follow, Saviour, without fear.
Song 262
verse 3
Dark though the
path may be, we follow Thee
Along the way,
Which leads us
on, Thy glory soon to see
In cloudless
day :
Thus led by
Thee, Thy tender shepherd care
Will keep, and
guard, and guide us safely there.
Song 262
verse 4
What will it be
when dangers all are past,
And led by
Thee,
We reach our
home — the Father's house, at last,
To dwell with
Thee ?
How loud the
chorus which we then shall raise,
And sing for
ever to Thee, in Thy praise !
Song 263
verse 1
The night is
now far spent,
The day is
drawing nigh,
Soon will the
morning break
In radiance
through the sky ;
O let the
thought our spirits cheer,
The Lord
Himself will soon appear.
Song 263
verse 2
Though men our
hope deride,
Nor will the
truth believe,
We in His word
confide,
And it will
ne'er deceive,
Soon all that
grieves shall pass away,
And saints
shall see a glorious day.
Song 263
verse 3
For us the Lord
intends
A bright abode
on high,
The place where
sorrow ends,
And nought is
known but joy :
With such a
hope let us rejoice,
We soon shall
hear the Saviour's voice.
Song 264
verse 1
Enthroned on
high, eternal Word,
As Son of man,
as sovereign Lord,
'Tis now by
faith on Thee we rest,
Till all Thy
title have confessed.
Song 264
verse 2
Thou hast our
souls from sins made clean,
Thy Spirit
gives us strength within ;
Whilst Thou for
us in all our need,
At God's right
hand dost ever plead.
Song 264
verse 3
O keep us in
the narrow way,
That ne'er from
Thee our footsteps stray ;
Sustain our
weakness, calm our fear,
And to Thy
presence keep us near.
Song 264
verse 4
O be it thus
till that blest day
When God shall
wipe all tears away ;
Quickly, 'tis
promised in the word,
E'en so, Amen. Come,
Jesus, Lord.
Song 265
verse 1
O GOD of grace,
our Father,
We bless Thy
holy name,
We who enjoy
Thy favour,
Made holy,
without blame ;
In love, which
sought and found us,
And brought us
nigh to Thee,
And won the
rest of glory,
Our heavenly home
shall be.
Song 265
verse 2
Thy deep
eternal counsel
Chose us in
Christ the Son
Before the
earth's foundation,
Or time had yet
begun ;
That we might
all the nearness
Of the Beloved
know,
And brought to
Thee as children
Our children's
praises flow.
Song 265
verse 3
We worship
Thee, our Father,
Soon shall Thy
children be
At home in
heavenly glory,
Thy house their
home shall be ;
We worship
Thee, our Father,
And praise Thy
perfect love,
Soon shall we
chant Thy glory
In better
strains above.
Song 266
verse 1
Christ the Lord
will come again,
None shall wait
for Him in vain ;
We shall then
His glory see,
His, who died
to set us free.
Song 266
verse 2
Then, when the
Redeemer's voice
Calls the
sleeping saints to rise,
Rising millions
shall proclaim
Blessings on
the Saviour's name.
Song 266
verse 3
"This is
our redeeming God",
Ransomed hosts
will shout aloud :
Praise, eternal
praise, be given
To the Lord of
earth and heaven.
Song 267
verse 1
All fullness
resides in Jesus our Head,
And ever abides
to answer all need :
The Father's
good pleasure has laid up a store,
A plentiful
treasure, to give to the poor.
Song 267
verse 2
Whatever
distress awaits us below,
Such plentiful
grace the Lord will bestow
As still shall
support us and silence our fear,
And nothing can
hurt us while Jesus is near.
Song 267
verse 3
When sorrows
assail us, or terrors draw nigh,
His love will
not fail us, He'll guide with His eye ;
And when we are
fainting, and ready to fail,
He'll give what
is wanting, and make us prevail.
Song 267
verse 4
We trust His
protection; we'll lean on His might ;
We're sure His
direction will guide us aright ;
We know who
surrounds us, almighty to save,
And no one
confounds us the Saviour who have.
Song 268
verse 1
Holy Lord, we
think of Thee,
Of Thy woe and
agony,
Of Thy
suffering on the tree ;
Saviour, we
adore Thee.
Song 268
verse 2
Wondrous grace
to ruined man
In that vast
eternal plan ;
Far too vast
for thought to scan ;
Saviour, we
adore Thee.
Song 268
verse 3
Ponder we Thy
lowly bed,
Son of God in
manger laid,
Born to Calvary
to be led ;
Saviour, we
adore Thee.
Song 268
verse 4
Saviour, we Thy
path retrace,
Patient love
and lowly grace,
Matchless,
holy, all Thy ways ;
Saviour, we
adore Thee.
Song 268
verse 5
To Thy cross we
turn our eyes,
Slain that
guilty worms might rise ;
Precious,
perfect sacrifice !
Saviour, we
adore Thee.
Song 268
verse 6
Gaze we at the
empty tomb ;
Gone our sins,
dispelled our gloom,
We are free —
beyond sin's doom ;
Saviour, we
adore Thee.
Song 268
verse 7
Look we to the
throne of God ;
There in
glory's blest abode,
We behold Thee,
risen Lord ;
Saviour, we
adore Thee.
Song 268
verse 8
Soon for us
Thou wilt return ;
Lord, for Thee
our spirits yearn ;
Haste we to
that blissful morn ;
Saviour, we
adore Thee.
Song 269
verse 1
We love to sing
Thy praises,
O Jesus Christ
the Lord ;
It is our
new-born gladness
Thy goodness to
record :
The one
absorbing treasure
That fills our
heart and eye
Is love that
came to suffer,
For enemies to
die.
Song 269
verse 2
Oh, love beyond
all telling,
Beyond all ken
or thought,
Which Thou, O
blessed Saviour,
To us from
heaven hast brought !
In Thee we see
united
Both God and
man in One ;
Hence power and
love unmeasured
Combined in
Thee are shown.
Song 269
verse 3
The power of
the Creator
Gives glory to
Thy name ;
The love of the
Redeemer
Enhances all
Thy fame :
Creator and
Redeemer,
Almighty
Saviour Lord,
The power and
love that saved us
For ever be
adored.
Song 270
verse 1
And shall we
see Thy face,
And hear Thy
heavenly voice,
Well known to
us in present grace ?
Well may our
hearts rejoice.
Song 270
verse 2
With Thee in
garments white,
Lord Jesus, we
shall walk ;
And spotless in
that heavenly light,
Of all Thy
sufferings talk.
Song 270
verse 3
Close to Thy
trusted side,
In fellowship
divine ;
No cloud, no
distance, e'er shall hide
Glories that
then shall shine.
Song 270
verse 4
Fruit of Thy
boundless love,
That gave
Thyself for us ;
For ever we
shall with Thee prove
That Thou still
lov'st us thus.
Song 270
verse 5
And we love
Thee, blest Lord,
E'en now,
though feeble here,
Thy sorrow and
Thy cross record
What makes us
know Thee near.
Song 270
verse 6
We wait to see
Thee, Lord,
Yet now within
our hearts
Thou dwell'st
in love that doth afford
The joy that
love imparts.

verse 7
Yet still we
wait for Thee,
To see Thee as
Thou art;
Be with Thee,
like Thee, Lord, and free
To love with
all our heart.
Song 271
verse 1
O God, through
Christ we sing
Glory to Thee ;
In His blest
name we bring
Glory to Thee.
His heavenly
face displays
All Thy
refulgent rays,
And wakes our
hymn of praise,
Glory to Thee.
Song 271
verse 2
He gave, when
here on earth,
Glory to Thee ;
Angels had
hailed His birth,
Glory to Thee.
The wondrous
works He wrought,
The precious
truths He taught,
His holy
footsteps brought
Glory to Thee.
Song 271
verse 3
On Calvary's
cross He gave
Glory to Thee ;
Won from the
vanquished grave
Glory to Thee:
Exalted now,
and crowned,
Him countless
hosts surround,
And swell the
lofty sound,
Glory to Thee.
Song 271
verse 4
With joy we
strike the chord,
Glory to Thee !
Ascribe,
through Christ the Lord,
Glory to Thee :
In Jesus' name
shalt Thou
Constrain all
knees to bow ;
Through Him we
worship now;
Glory to Thee !
Song 272
verse 1
Revive Thy
work, O Lord ;
Exalt Thy
precious Name ;
And may Thy
love in every heart
Be kindled to a
flame.
Song 272
verse 2
Revive Thy
work, O Lord ;
Create
soul-thirst for Thee,
And hung’ring
for the bread of life,
Oh, may our
spirits be.
Song 272
verse 3
Revive Thy
work, O Lord ;
Give pow’r unto
Thy Word ;
Grant that Thy
blessed Gospel may
In living faith
be heard.
Song 272
verse 4
Revive Thy
work, O Lord ;
And give
refreshing show’rs :
The glory shall
be all Thine own ;
The blessing,
Lord, be ours !
Song 273
verse 1
O Lord, how
does Thy mercy throw
Its guardian
shadow o'er us,
Preserving
while we're here below,
Safe to the
rest before us.
Song 273
verse 2
As weaker than
a bruised reed,
We cannot do
without Thee ;
We want Thee
here each hour of need,
Shall want Thee
too in glory.
Song 273
verse 3
And though our
efforts now to praise
Are often cold
and lowly,
A nobler,
sweeter song we'll raise
With all Thy
saints in glory.
Song 273
verse 4
We'll lay our
trophies at Thy feet,
We'll worship
and adore Thee,
Whose precious
blood has made us meet
To dwell with
Thee in glory.
Song 274
verse 1
O Lord, Thy
rich, Thy boundless love
No thought can
reach, no tongue declare;
O give our
hearts its depths to prove,
And reign
without a rival there !
From Thee, O
Lord, we all receive,
Thine, wholly
Thine, alone we'd live.
Song 274
verse 2
O Lord, how
cheering is Thy way !
How blest, how
gracious in our eyes !
Care, anguish,
sorrow, pass away,
And fear before
Thy presence flies.
Lord Jesus !
nothing would we see,
Nothing desire,
apart from Thee !
Song 274
verse 3
In conflict be
Thy love our peace !
In weakness be
Thy love our strength !
And when the
storms of life shall cease,
And Thou to
meet us com'st at length,
Lord Jesus,
then these hearts shall be
For ever
satisfied with Thee.
Song 275

Our God is
light : and though we go
Across a
trackless wild,
Our Saviour's
footsteps ever show
The path for
every child.

At every step
afresh we prove
How sure our
heavenly Guide ;
The faithful
and forbearing love
That never
turns aside.
Song 275
verse 3
Thou weariest
not, most gracious Lord,
Though we may
weary grow ;
In season, the
sustaining word
Thou giv'st our
hearts to know.
Song 275
verse 4
Death's bitter
waters met our thirst,
Thy cross has
made them sweet;
Then on our
gladdened vision burst
God's shady,
cool retreat.
Song 275
verse 5
The manna and
the springing well
Suffice for
every need ;
And Eshcol's
grapes the story tell
Of where Thy
path doth lead.
Song 276
verse 1
Guide us, O
Thou gracious Saviour,
Pilgrims
through this barren land ;
We are weak,
but Thou art mighty ;
Hold us with
Thy powerful hand ;
Bread of
heaven,
Feed us now and
evermore.
Song 276
verse 2
While we tread
this vale of sorrow,
May we in Thy
love abide :
Keep us ever,
gracious Saviour,
Cleaving
closely to Thy side,
Still relying
On the Father's
changeless love.
Song 276
verse 3
Saviour, come,
we long to see Thee,
Long to dwell
with Thee above,
And to know in
full communion
All the
sweetness of Thy love;
Come, Lord
Jesus,
Take Thy waiting
people home.
Song 277
verse 1
Christ's glory
fills eternity,
Eternity which
was and is ;
And all
eternity to be
Will shine with
His undying praise ;
Refrain : To
Him who lives but once was slain
Be honour,
power, and praise, Amen,
To Him who
lives but once was slain
Be honour,
power, and praise, Amen.
Song 277
verse 2
To Him who
shines before our eyes
In robes of
uncreated light ;
Whose glories
ever on us rise
And fill us
with supreme delight ;
To Him who
lives but once was slain, etc.
Song 277
verse 3
To Him whose
everlasting love
Sent forth
those precious streams of grace,
Which made us
long to dwell above,
And led us to
this blissful place ;
To Him who
lives but once was slain, etc.
Song 278
verse 1
Saviour, we
long to follow Thee,
Daily Thy cross
to bear,
And count all
else, whate'er it be,
Unworthy of our
care.
Song 278
verse 2
We are not now
our own, but Thine,
The purchase of
Thy blood,
And made, by
grace and love divine,
The sons and
heirs of God.
Song 278
verse 3
Thy Spirit,
too, the present seal
Of all the
Father's love,
Dwells in our
souls and does reveal,
The glorious
rest above.
Song 278
verse 4
Thy life is now
beyond the grave ;
Our souls Thou
hast set free ;
Life, strength,
and grace in Thee we have,
For we are one
with Thee.
Song 278
verse 5
O teach us so
the power to know
Of risen life
with Thee ;
Not we may live
while here below,
But Christ our
life may be.
Song 279
verse 1
Thou, Lord,
Thyself, the Bright, the Morning Star
Wilt soon arise
and chase our woes afar ;
What gladness
then, what bliss without a cloud,
Shall fill
these hearts so oft with sorrow bowed !
Song 279
verse 2
Lord Jesus,
shall we gaze upon Thy face —
That face of
perfect beauty, love and grace ?
That blessed
form, once nailed upon the tree,
Lord, shall
these very eyes in glory see ?
Song 279
verse 3
We shall, we
shall ! for Thou hast said it, Lord,
And faith rests
ever on Thy changeless word :
"Behold, I
come," "surely I quickly come ;"
E'en so, Amen :
oh, take Thy loved ones home !
Song 279
verse 4
Lord Jesus,
come : the Spirit calls for Thee,
The bride
desireth sore Thy face to see ;
Lord Jesus,
come : our hearts within us burn,
We hasten forth
to greet Thy glad return.
Song 280
verse 1
O joyful day !
O glorious hour !
When Jesus, by
almighty power,
Revived and
left the grave ;
In all His
works behold Him great,
Before,
almighty to create,
Almighty now to
save.
Song 280
verse 2
The
First-begotten from the dead,
He's risen now,
His people's Head,
And thus their
life's secure ;
And if, like
Him, they yield their breath,
Like Him
they'll burst the bonds of death,
Their
resurrection sure.
Song 280
verse 3
Why should His
people, then, be sad ?
None have such
reason to be glad
As those
redeemed to God :
Jesus, the
mighty Saviour, lives,
To them eternal
life He gives,
The purchase of
His blood.
Song 280
verse 4
Then let our
gladsome praise resound,
And let us in
His work abound,
Whose blessed
name is Love ;
We're sure our
labour's not in vain,
For we with Him
ere long shall reign,
With Jesus
dwell above.
Song 281
verse 1
With joy we
meditate the grace
Of God's High
Priest above ;
His heart is
filled with tenderness,
His very name
is Love.
Song 281
verse 2
Touched with a
sympathy within,
He knows our
feeble frame;
He knows what
sore temptations mean
For He has felt
the same.
Song 281
verse 3
But spotless,
undefiled and pure,
The great
Redeemer stood ;
While Satan's
fiery darts He bore
And did resist
to blood.
Song 281
verse 4
He, in the days
of sorrowing flesh,
Poured out His
cries and tears,
And, though
ascended, feels afresh
What every
member bears.
Song 281
verse 5
Then boldly let
our faith address
The throne of
grace and power:
We shall obtain
delivering grace
In every needed
hour.
Song 282
verse 1
Christian, seek
not yet repose,
Cast thy dreams
of ease away ;
Thou art in the
midst of foes:
Watch and pray.
Song 282
verse 2
Canaan has for
thee been won,
Christ
triumphant led the way ;
In His might
possess thine own !
Watch and pray.
Song 282
verse 3
In the
heavenlies see that land,
Satan would
thine entrance stay ;
Thou against
his wiles must stand:
Watch and pray.
Song 282
verse 4
Principalities
and powers,
Mustering their
unseen array,
Wait for thy
unguarded hours:
Watch and pray.
Song 282
verse 5
Gird thy
heavenly armour on,
Wear it ever,
night and day ;
Ambushed lies
the evil one:
Watch and pray.
Song 282
verse 6
Watch, as if on
that alone
Hung the issue
of the day ;
Pray that help
may be sent down :
Watch and pray.
Song 283
verse 1
When I survey
the wondrous cross
On which the
Prince of glory died,
My richest gain
I count but loss,
And pour
contempt on all my pride.
Song 283
verse 2
Forbid it,
Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the
cross of Christ my God :
All the vain
things that charm me most,
I sacrifice
them to His blood.
Song 283
verse 3
See from His
head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love
flow mingled down :
Did e'er such
love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns
compose so rich a crown ?
Song 283
verse 4
Were the whole
realm of nature mine,
That were an
offering far too small ;
Love so
amazing, so divine,
Demands my
soul, my life, my all.
Song 284
verse 1
Thou hidden
Source of calm repose !
Thou
all-sufficient Love divine !
Our help and
refuge from our foes,
Secure we are,
for we are Thine ;
And, lo! from
guilt and grief and shame
We're hidden,
Saviour, by Thy name.
Song 284
verse 2
Thy mighty name
Salvation is,
And keeps our
happy souls above ;
Comfort it
brings, and power and peace
And joy and
everlasting love ;
To us, with Thy
dear name, are given
Pardon and holiness
and heaven.
Song 284
verse 3
O Lord, our All
in all Thou art,
Our rest in
toil, our ease in pain ;
The medicine of
a broken heart ;
'Mid storms,
our peace ; in loss, our gain ;
Our smile
beneath the tyrant's frown ;
In shame, our
glory and our crown.
Song 284
verse 4
In want, our
plentiful supply ;
In weakness,
our almighty power ;
In bonds, our
perfect liberty ;
Our refuge in
temptation's hour ;
Our comfort
'midst all grief and thrall,
Our life in
death, our All in all.
Song 285
verse 1
The head that
once was crowned with thorns,
Is crowned with
glory now ;
Heaven's royal
diadem adorns
The mighty
Victor's brow.
Song 285
verse 2
Thou glorious
light of courts above,
Joy of the
saints below,
To us still
manifest Thy love,
That we its
depths may know.
Song 285
verse 3
To us Thy cross
with all its shame,
With all its
grace be given ;
Though earth
disowns Thy lowly name.
God honours it
in heaven.
Song 285
verse 4
Who suffer with
Thee, Lord, below,
Shall reign
with Thee above :
Then let it be
our joy to know
This way of
peace and love.
Song 285
verse 5
To us Thy cross
is life and health ;
'Twas shame and
death to Thee ;
Our present
glory, joy and wealth,
Our everlasting
stay.
Song 286
verse 1
"Stricken,
smitten, and afflicted,"
See Him dying on
the tree ;
'Tis the Christ
by man rejected ;
Yes, my soul,
'tis He, 'tis He.
Mark the
sacrifice appointed,
See who bears
the awful load ;
'Tis the Word,
the Lord's Anointed,
Son of man and
Son of God.
Song 286
verse 2
Here we have a
firm foundation,
Here's the
refuge of the lost ;
Christ's the
rock of our salvation ;
His the name of
which we boast.
Lamb of God,
for sinners wounded,
Sacrifice to
cancel guilt,
None shall ever
be confounded
Who on Thee
their hope have built.
Song 287
verse 1
Father divine,
in grateful love
We bow before
Thy face,
While for Thy
gift unspeakable
Our souls
o'erflow with praise;
Thine only Son,
Thy heart's delight
Far back, ere
time began,
Thou in Thy
boundless love didst give
To die for
ruined man.
Song 287
verse 2
Thou gavest
Him, well knowing all
That lay before
Him here —
The thorny
crown, the purple robe,
The gall, the
cruel spear;
And in that
hour of woe supreme
Did Jesus bear
our sin —
The patient,
holy, suffering Lamb,
Of God forsaken
then.
Song 287
verse 3
Father, this
mystery of love
Must all our
praise excel :
No human, no
angelic tongue
Its wondrous
depths can tell ;
For what were
we that Thou on us
Such love
shouldst ever pour ?
We bow, and,
filled with joy and awe,
Father and Son
adore.
Song 288
verse 1
O Thou, whose
mercies far exceed
All we can do
or say,
As in Thy
people Thou indeed
Dost daily more
display ;
Let, for our
happiness, O God,
On us while
here below,
By virtue of
Christ's death and blood,
Thy richest
blessings flow.
Song 288
verse 2
Preserve Thy
flock most graciously,
By Thine
all-powerful hand ;
Move them from
every harm away,
'Twixt them and
danger stand ;
Till Thou shalt
fully have obtained
In us the
fruits of grace,
And we, in joys
that never end,
Shall see Thee,
face to face.
Song 288
verse 3
Do Thou, the
very God of peace,
Us wholly
sanctify,
And grant us
such a rich increase
Of power from
on high,
That spirit,
soul and body may,
Preserved free
from stain,
Be blameless
until that great day ;
Lord Jesus
Christ, Amen !
Song 289
verse 1
Be still, my
soul : the Lord is on thy side ;
Bear patiently
the cross of grief or pain ;
Leave to Thy
God to order and provide ;
In every change
He faithful will remain.
Be still, my
soul : thy best, thy heavenly Friend
Through thorny
ways leads to a joyful end.
Song 289
verse 2
Be still, my
soul : thy God doth undertake
To guide the
future as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy
confidence let nothing shake ;
All now
mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my
soul : the waves and winds still know
His voice who
ruled them while He dwelt below.
Song 289
verse 3
Be still, my
soul : the hour is hastening on
When we shall
be for ever with the Lord,
When
disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot,
love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my
soul : when change and tears are past,
All safe and
blessed we shall meet at last.
Song 290
verse 1
Why those fears !
Behold 'tis Jesus
Holds the helm,
and guides the ship ;
Spread the
sails, and catch the breezes
Sent to waft us
through the deep,
To the regions
Where the
mourners cease to weep.
Song 290
verse 2
Though the
shore we hope to land on,
Only by report
is known,
Yet we freely
all abandon,
Led by that
report alone,
And with Jesus,
Through the
trackless deep move on.
Song 290
verse 3
Led by faith,
we brave the ocean ;
Led by faith,
the storm defy ;
Calm amidst
tumultuous motion,
Knowing that
the Lord is nigh :
Waves obey Him,
And the storms
before Him fly.
Song 290
verse 4
Rendered safe
by His protection,
We shall pass
the watery waste,
Trusting to His
wise direction
We shall gain
the port at last ;
And with wonder
Think on toils
and dangers past.
Song 290
verse 5
Oh, what
pleasures there await us !
There the
tempests cease to roar :
There it is
that those who hate us
Can molest our
peace no more :
Trouble ceases
On that
tranquil, happy shore.
Song 291
verse 1
O Saviour, whom
absent we love,
Whom not having
seen we adore,
Whose name is
exalted above
All glory,
dominion, and power ;
Song 291
verse 2
O come and
display us as Thine,
And leave us no
longer to roam.
Let the light
of Thy presence, Lord, shine,
Let the trumpet
soon summon us home.
Song 291
verse 3
Oh, then shall
the mists be removed,
And round us
Thy brightness be poured.
We shall meet
Thee whom absent we loved,
We shall see
whom unseen we adored.
Song 291
verse 4
Oh, then never
more shall the fears,
The trials,
temptations, and woes,
Which darken
this valley of tears,
Intrude on our
blissful repose.
Song 291
verse 5
Or, if yet remembered
above,
Remembrance no
sadness shall raise;
They will bring
us fresh thoughts of Thy love,
New themes for
our wonder and praise.
Song 292
verse 1
Hallelujah !
Christ hath conquered —
Conquered sin
and death and hell :
Sing aloud His
mighty triumphs,
Gladly now His
praises tell ;
Hallelujah !
Jesus hath done
all things well.
Song 292
verse 2
Him, who once
as Man of sorrows
Bore for us our
sins and shame,
Glad we hail as
King of glory —
His a
never-ending fame ;
Hallelujah !
Praise, for
ever praise, His name.
Song 292
verse 3
Son of God, in
adoration
Low we bow
before Thy face,
And with loving
hearts, Lord Jesus,
Sing the
marvels of Thy grace ;
Hallelujah !
Thee we
worship, Thee we praise.
Song 293
verse 1
Jesus calls us ;
o'er the tumult
Of our life's
wild, restless sea,
Day by day His
sweet voice soundeth,
Saying,
"Christian, follow Me."
Song 293
verse 2
As of old
apostles heard it
By the Galilean
lake,
Turned from
home and toil and kindred,
Leaving all for
His dear sake.
Song 293
verse 3
Jesus calls us
from the worship
Of the vain
world's golden store :
From each idol
that would keep us,
Saying,
"Christian, love Me more."
Song 293
verse 4
In our joys,
and in our sorrows,
Days of toil,
and hours of ease,
Still He calls,
in cares and pleasures,
"Christian,
love Me more than these."
Song 293
verse 5
Jesus calls us —
by Thy mercies,
Saviour, may we
hear Thy call ;
Give our hearts
to Thy obedience,
Serve and love
Thee best of all.
Song 294
verse 1
O come, Thou
stricken Lamb of God !
Who shed'st for
us Thine own life-blood,
And teach us
all Thy love — then pain
In life were
sweet and death were gain.
Song 294
verse 2
Take Thou our
hearts, and let them be
For ever closed
to all but Thee ;
Thy willing
servants, let us wear
The seal of
love for ever there.
Song 294
verse 3
How blest are
they who still abide
Close sheltered
by Thy watchful side ;
Who life and
strength from Thee receive,
And with Thee
move, and in Thee live.
Song 294
verse 4
Ah, Lord !
enlarge our scanty thought,
To know the
wonders Thou hast wrought ;
Unloose our
stammering tongues to tell
Thy love,
immense, unsearchable.
Song 294
verse 5
Firstborn of
many brethren, Thou !
To whom both
heaven and earth must bow ;
Heirs of Thy
shame and of Thy throne,
We bear the
cross, and seek the crown.
Song 295
verse 1
Holy Saviour,
we adore Thee
Seated on the
throne of God ;
Soon in glory
all before Thee
Shall proclaim
Thy praise abroad ;
Thou art
worthy,
We were
ransomed by Thy blood.
Song 295
verse 2
Saviour, though
the world despised Thee,
Though Thou
here wast crucified,
Yet the
Father's glory raised Thee,
Lord of all
creation wide ;
Thou art
worthy,
We shall live,
for Thou hast died.
Song 295
verse 3
And though here
on earth rejected,
'Tis but
fellowship with Thee ;
Should we not
with joy expect it
Here like Thee,
our Lord, to be ?
Thou art
worthy,
Thou from earth
hast set us free.
Song 295
verse 4
Haste the day
of Thy returning
With Thy
ransomed saints to reign ;
Then shall end
all days of mourning,
We shall sing
with triumph then ;
Thou art
worthy,
Come, Lord Jesus,
come, Amen.
Song 296
verse 1
Love divine,
all praise excelling,
Joy of heaven,
to earth come down,
Bless us with
Thy rich indwelling,
All Thy
faithful mercies crown.
Saviour, Thee
we'd still be blessing,
Serve Thee
here, as soon above,
Praise Thee,
Saviour, without ceasing,
Glory in Thy
dying love.
Song 296
verse 2
Firstfruits of
Thy new creation,
Faithful, holy,
may we be,
Joyful in Thy
full salvation,
More and more
conformed to Thee,
Changed from
glory into glory,
Till in heaven
we take our place,
Then to worship
and adore Thee,
Lost in wonder,
love and praise.
Song 297
verse 1
When all Thy
mercies, O my God,
My rising soul
surveys,
Transported
with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love
and praise.
Song 297
verse 2
Unnumbered
comforts to my soul
Thy tender care
bestowed,
Before my
infant heart conceived
From whom those
comforts flowed.
Song 297
verse 3
Ten thousand
thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks
employ ;
Nor is the
least a cheerful heart
To taste those
gifts with joy.
Song 297
verse 4
Through every
period of my life
Thy goodness
I'll pursue ;
The desert
past, in glory bright,
The precious
theme renew.
Song 297
verse 5
Through all
eternity to Thee
A joyful song
I'll raise ;
But, oh,
eternity's too short
To utter all
Thy praise !
Song 298
verse 1
To Thy name,
Lord Jesus, gathered,
In Thy presence
we rejoice,
And in songs of
adoration
Gladly join
with heart and voice.
Song 298
verse 2
Thou hast loved
us, gracious Saviour,
With an
everlasting love,
Tasted death
from all to save us,
Seated us in
Thee above.
Song 298
verse 3
We rejoice in
Thy salvation,
Boasting in our
Saviour God,
While we
gratefully remember
All the path
which Thou hast trod.
Song 299
verse 1
The Lord's my
Shepherd, I'll not want:
He makes me
down to lie
In pastures
green; He leadeth me
The quiet
waters by.
Song 299
verse 2
My soul He doth
restore again:
And me to walk
doth make
Within the
paths of righteousness,
E'en for His
own Name's sake.
Song 299
verse 3
Yea, though I
walk in death's dark vale,
Yet will I fear
none ill :
For Thou art
with me ; and Thy rod
And staff me
comfort still.
Song 299
verse 4
My table Thou
hast furnished
In presence of
my foes ;
My head Thou
dost with oil anoint,
And my cup
overflows.
Song 299
verse 5
Goodness and
mercy all my life
Shall surely
follow me;
And in God's
house for evermore
My
dwelling-place shall be.
Song 300
verse 1
Ye servants of
God, your Master proclaim,
And publish
abroad His wonderful name,
The name, all
victorious, of Jesus extol,
His kingdom is glorious
— He'll reign over all.
Song 300
verse 2
God ruleth on
high, almighty to save,
But still He is
nigh, His presence we have ;
The great
congregation His triumph shall sing,
Ascribing
salvation to Jesus, their King.
Song 300
verse 3
Salvation to
God, who sits on the throne,
Let all shout
aloud, and honour the Son !
The praises of
Jesus God's saints will proclaim,
And fall on
their faces to worship the Lamb.
Song 301
verse 1
Our rest is in
heaven, our rest is not here :
Then why should
we tremble when trials are near ?
Be hushed, our
sad spirits, the worst that can come
But shortens
the journey, and hastens us home.
Song 301
verse 2
It is not for
us to be seeking our bliss,
And building
our hopes in a region like this :
We look for a
city which hands have not piled,
We long for a
country by sin undefiled.
Song 301
verse 3
The thorn and
the thistle around us may grow —
We would not
lie down, e'en on roses below :
We ask not our
portion, we seek not a rest,
Till in glory
for ever with Christ we are blest.
Song 301
verse 4
Let trial and
danger our progress oppose,
They'll only
make heaven more sweet at the close ;
Come joy or
come sorrow, whate'er may befall,
A home with our
God will repay us for all.
Song 301
verse 5
With a scrip on
the back, and a staff in the hand,
We march on in
haste through an enemy's land.
The road may be
rough, but it cannot be long,
Let us smooth
it with hope, and cheer it with song.
Song 302
verse 1
O Blessed Lord,
what hast Thou done,
How vast a
ransom giv’n ?
Thyself of God
th’eternal Son,
The Lord of
earth and heav’n.
Song 302
verse 2
Thy Father, in
His gracious love,
Did spare Thee
from His side :
And Thou didst
stoop to bear above,
At such a cost,
Thy bride.
Song 302
verse 3
Lord, while our
souls in faith repose
Upon Thy
precious blood,
Peace like an
even river flows,
And mercy like
a flood.
Song 302
verse 4
But boundless
joy shall fill our hearts,
When, gazing on
Thy face,
We fully see
what faith imparts,
And glory
crowns Thy grace.
Song 302
verse 5
Unseen, we love
Thee ; dear Thy name !
But when our
eyes behold,
With joyful
wonder we'll exclaim,
« The half
had not been told. »
Song 302
verse 6
For Thou
exceedest all the fame
Our ears have
ever heard ;
How happy we
who know Thy name,
And trust Thy
faithful word !
Song 303
verse 1
When Israel, by
divine command,
The pathless
desert trod,
They found,
throughout the barren land,
A sure resource
in God.
Song 303
verse 2
A cloudy pillar
marked the road,
And screened
them from the heat ;
From the hard
rock the water flowed,
And manna was
their meat.
Song 303
verse 3
Like them, we
have a rest in view,
Secure from
hostile powers :
Like them, we
pass a desert too,
But Israel's
God is ours.
Song 303
verse 4
His word a
light before us spreads,
By which our
path we see ;
His love, a
banner o'er our heads,
From harm
preserves us free.
Song 303
verse 5
Jesus, the
Bread of life, is given
To be our daily
food ;
Within us
dwells that spring from heaven,
The Spirit of
our God.
Song 303
verse 6
Lord, 'tis
enough, we ask no more ;
Thy grace
around us pours
Its rich and
unexhausted store,
And all its joy
is ours.
Song 304
verse 1
Soon the saints
in glory singing,
Will with joy
exalt the Lamb;
All in heaven
their tribute bringing,
Raising high
the Saviour's name.
Song 304
verse 2
To us now the
earnest's given;
Here by grace
these themes belong;
Let us sing the
song of heaven;
'Tis our
everlasting song.
Song 304
verse 3
See how God has
now enthroned Him
At His own
right hand in heaven;
There the
heavenly hosts have owned Him
Lord, to whom
all power is given.
Song 304
verse 4
Endless life in
Him possessing,
Let us praise
His glorious name:
Glory, honour,
power, and blessing,
Be for ever to
the Lamb.
Song 305
verse 1
Our God and Father unto Thee
As pilgrims
weak we now draw near.
To breathe our
prayers on bended knee,
And supplicate
Thy gracious ear.
Song 305
verse 2
In former days Thou oft hast heard.
And amply
answered in Thy grace ;
By those rich
bounties deeply stirred.
We bless Thy
name and seek Thy face.
Song 305
verse 3
Though granted much, we still need more,
For some are
weak and some have grief ;
Supply us all
from Thy rich store.
With grace and
strength and glad relief.
Song 305
verse 4
Our prayers we bring in that great name,
The name Thou
gavest to Thy Son ;
In Jesus' name
we mercy claim,
And humbly say,
“Thy will be done”.
Song 306
verse 1
What a Friend
we have in Jesus
All our sins
and griefs to bear !
What a
privilege to carry
Everything to
God in prayer !
Oh, what peace
we often forfeit !
Oh, what
needless pain we bear !
All because we
do not carry
Everything to
God in prayer.
Song 306
verse 2
Have we trials
and temptations ?
Is there
trouble anywhere ?
We should never
be discouraged;
Take it to the
Lord in prayer.
Can we find a
friend so faithful
Who will all
our sorrows share ?
Jesus knows our
every weakness;
Take it to the
Lord in prayer.
Song 306
verse 3
Are we weak and
heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a
load of care?
Precious
Saviour, still our refuge ---
Take it to the
Lord in prayer;
Do thy friends
despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the
Lord in prayer;
In His arms
He'll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find
a solace there.
Song 307
verse 1
Poor and feeble
though we be,
Saviour, we
belong to Thee;
Thine we are,
Thou Son of God,
Thine, the
purchase of Thy blood.
Song 307
verse 2
Boundless
wisdom, power divine,
Love
unspeakable, are Thine ;
Praise by all
to Thee be given,
Son of God, and
Heir of Heaven !
Song 308
verse 1
Hast thou heard
Him, seen Him, known Him ?
Is not thine a
captured heart ?
Chief among ten
thousand own Him,
Joyful choose
the better part.
Song 308
verse 2
Idols once they
won thee, charmed thee,
Lovely things
of time and sense ;
Gilded thus
does sin disarm thee,
Honeyed lest
thou turn thee thence.
Song 308
verse 3
What has
stripped the seeming beauty
From the idols
of the earth ?
Not a sense of
right or duty,
But the sight
of peerless worth.
Song 308
verse 4
Not the
crushing of those idols,
With its bitter
void and smart ;
But the beaming
of His beauty,
The unveiling
of His heart.
Song 308
verse 5
Who
extinguishes their taper
Till they hail
the rising sun ?
Who discards
the garb of winter
Till the summer
has begun ?
Song 308
verse 6
'Tis the look
that melted Peter,
'Tis the face
that Stephen saw,
'Tis the heart
that wept with Mary,
Can alone from
idols draw:
Song 308
verse 7
Draw and win
and fill completely,
Till the cup
o'erflow the brim ;
What have we to
do with idols
Who have
companied with Him ?
Song 309
verse 1
Saviour, before
Thy face we fall,
Our Lord, our
life, our hope, our all;
For we have
nowhere else to flee,
No sanctuary,
Lord, but Thee.
Song 309
verse 2
In Thee we
every glory view
Of safety,
strength and beauty too;
'Tis all our
rest and peace to see
Our sanctuary,
Lord, in Thee.
Song 309
verse 3
Whatever foes
or fears betide,
In Thy blest
presence let us hide ;
And while we
rest our souls on Thee,
Thou shalt our
sanctuary be.
Song 309
verse 4
Through time,
with all its changing scenes
And all the
grief that intervenes,
Let this
support each fainting heart,
That Thou our
sanctuary art.
Song 310
verse 1
Son of God, in
heaven we view Thee
Of God's love
the Object meet;
While, Lord
Jesus Christ, 'tis through Thee
All our
blessing is complete.
Song 310
verse 2
As Thy brethren
we surround Thee,
Firstborn of a
heavenly race ;
He who has with
glory crowned Thee
Called us to
this blessed place.
Song 310
verse 3
From the
triumph and the glory
Of Thy rest in
love divine,
Comes to us the
wondrous story,
How God's
purpose made us Thine ;
Song 310
verse 4
How by dying
Thou hast freed us
From the man of
sin and shame,
That,
unhindered, Thou might'st lead us
Now to know Thy
Father's name.
Song 310
verse 5
And responsive
to Thy longing,
We would now
abide in love ;
Know Thy joy,
as those belonging
To Thyself in
heaven above.
Song 311
verse 1
Thee we praise,
our God and Father,
Thou Thy love
hast shown ;
Ere the world
was, Thou didst choose us
For Thine own.
Song 311
verse 2
Thou Thine only
Son hast given,
Thou art
glorified,
For in love to
bring us near Thee,
He has died.
Song 311
verse 3
By the Holy
Ghost indwelling
We with Christ
have part,
Father, we Thy
children call Thee,
From our heart.
Song 311
verse 4
Love divine,
our present portion,
Heaven's
choicest store,
Thee we
worship, God and Father,
Thee adore.
Song 311
verse 5
Soon in Thine
own house around Thee
Still our
praise shall swell,
Sons before
Thee ever joying
We shall dwell.
Song 311
verse 6
For His praise
who glorified Thee,
We like Him
shall be,
Firstborn among
many brethren
Praising Thee.
Song 312
verse 1
Lead on,
Almighty Lord,
Lead on to
victory:
Encouraged by
Thy blessed word,
With joy we
follow Thee.
Song 312
verse 2
We follow Thee,
our Guide,
Who didst
salvation bring :
We follow Thee,
through grace supplied
From heaven's
eternal spring :
Song 312
verse 3
Till of the
prize possessed,
We hear of war
no more,
And, Oh, sweet
thought ! for ever rest
On yonder
peaceful shore.
Song 313
verse 1
I've found a
Friend, oh, such a Friend !
He loved me ere
I knew Him,
He drew me with
the cords of love,
And thus He
bound me to Him;
And round my
heart still closely twine
Those ties
which nought can sever,
For I am His,
and He is mine,
For ever and
for ever.
Song 313
verse 2
I've found a
Friend, oh, such a Friend !
He bled, He died
to save me ;
And not alone
the gift of life,
But His own
self He gave me.
Nought that I
have my own I call,
I hold it for
the Giver :
My heart, my
strength, my life, my all,
Are His, and
His for ever.
Song 313
verse 3
I've found a
Friend, oh, such a Friend !
All power to
Him is given
To guard me on
my onward course,
And bring me
safe to heaven.
Th' eternal
glories gleam afar
To nerve my
faint endeavour:
So now to watch !
to work ! to war !
And then — to
rest for ever !
Song 313
verse 4
I've found a
Friend, oh, such a Friend !
So kind and
true and tender,
So wise a
Counsellor and Guide,
So mighty a
Defender !
From Him, who
loves me now so well,
What power my
soul can sever ?
Shall life, or
death, or earth, or hell ?
No ; I am
His for ever.
Song 314
verse 1
Lord, to our
souls Thy light is ever pure,
And brings from
heaven what Thou alone canst give ;
Yea, brings
Thyself, the revelation sure
Of heaven's
eternal bliss : in Thee we live.
Song 314
verse 2
We bless Thee,
Lord ! Of Thee our song shall speak —
Poor and
unworthy strains, yet still of Thee.
Come, fill our
souls ! This only would we seek,
To dwell in
love, and God our dwelling be.
Song 314
verse 3
Be Thou with us !
Let no distracting thought
Intrude to hide
from us that heavenly light.
Be Thou our
strength ! Let not what Thou hast brought
Be chased by
idle nature's poor delight.
Song 314
verse 4
Be Thou our all !
Thy love can fill the soul —
That love that
soars beyond all creature thought ;
In spirit bring
where endless praises roll,
And fill our
longing hearts till there we're brought.
Song 315
verse 1
Jesus,
life-giving sound,
The joy of
earth and heaven !
No other help
is found,
No other name
is given,
In which the
sons of men can boast,
But His who
seeks and saves the lost.
Song 315
verse 2
His name the
sinner hears,
And is from
guilt set free ;
'Tis music in
his ears,
'Tis life and
victory:
His heart
o'erflows with sacred joy,
And songs of
praise his lips employ.
Song 315
verse 3
Jesus, all
praise above !
We sing Thy
blessed name,
We sing Thy
dying love,
Thy rising
power proclaim :
But soon to
give Thee worthy praise,
Both heaven and
earth their songs shall raise.
Song 316
verse 1
We are by
Christ redeemed :
The cost — His
precious blood ;
Be nothing by
our souls esteemed
Like this great
good.
Were the vast
world our own,
With all its
varied store,
And Thou, Lord
Jesus, wert unknown,
We still were
poor.
Song 316
verse 2
Our earthen
vessels break ;
The world
itself grows old ;
But Christ our
precious dust will take,
And freshly
mould :
He'll give
these bodies vile
A fashion like
His own ;
He'll bid the
whole creation smile,
And hush its
groan.
Song 316
verse 3
Thus far, by
grace preserved,
Each moment
speeds us on ;
The crown and
kingdom are reserved
Where Christ is
gone.
When cloudless
morning shines,
We shall His
glory share ;
In pleasant
places are the lines ;
The home how
fair !
Song 316
verse 4
To Him our
weakness clings
Through
tribulation sore,
And seeks the
covert of His wings
Till all be
o'er.
And when we've
run the race,
And fought the
faithful fight,
We then shall
see Him face to face,
With saints in
light.
Song 317
verse 1
How pleasant is
the sound of praise !
It well becomes
the saints of God :
Should we
refuse our songs to raise,
The stones
might tell our shame abroad.
Song 317
verse 2
For Him who
washed us in His blood,
Let us our
sweetest songs prepare ;
He sought us
wandering far from God,
And now
preserves us by His care.
Song 317
verse 3
One string
there is of sweetest tone,
Reserved for
sinners saved by grace ;
'Tis sacred to
one class alone,
And touched by
one peculiar race.
Song 317
verse 4
Though angels
may with rapture see
How mercy flows
in Jesus' blood,
It is not
theirs to prove, as we,
The cleansing
virtue of this flood.
Song 317
verse 5
Lord, we adore
the wondrous love
Which brought
Thee here to bleed and die;
Soon shall we
meet in heaven above,
And sing Thy
praises in the sky.
Song 318
verse 1
O Lamb of God,
still keep us
Close to Thy
pierced side ;
'Tis only there
in safety
And peace we
can abide ;
With foes and
snares around us,
And lusts and
fears within ;
The grace that
sought and found us,
Alone can keep
us clean.
Song 318
verse 1
'Tis only in
Thee hiding
We feel
ourselves secure ;
Only in Thee
abiding,
The conflict
can endure :
Thine arm the
victory gaineth
O'er every
hateful foe ;
Thy love our
hearts sustaineth
In all their
cares and woe.
Song 318
verse 1
Soon shall our
eyes behold Thee
With rapture
face to face ;
And, resting
there in glory,
We'll sing Thy
pow’r and grace :
Thy beauty,
Lord, and glory,
The wonders of
Thy love,
Shall be the
endless story
Of all Thy
saints above.
Song 319
verse 1
Our sins were
borne by Jesus,
The holy Lamb
of God :
He took them
all, and freed us
From that
condemning load.
Our guilt was
borne by Jesus,
Who washed the
crimson stains
White in His
blood most precious,
Till not a spot
remains.
Song 319
verse 2
Our wants are
known to Jesus ;
All fulness
dwells in Him :
He healeth all
diseases,
Who did our
souls redeem.
We tell our
griefs to Jesus,
Our burdens and
our cares ;
He from them
all releases,
Who all our
sorrow shares.
Song 319
verse 3
We love the
name of Jesus,
The Christ of
God, the Lord ;
Like fragrance
on the breezes,
His name is
spread abroad.
We long to be
with Jesus,
With all the ransomed
throng,
For ever sing
His praises,
The one eternal
song.
Song 320
verse 1
Farewell to
this world's fleeting joys,
Our home is not
below ;
There was no
home for Jesus here,
And 'tis to Him
we go,
Song 320
verse 2
To Him in
yonder home of love,
Where He has
gone before,
The home He
changed for Calvary's cross,
Where all our
sins He bore.
Song 320
verse 3
He bore our
sins that we might be
His partners on
the throne,
The throne
He'll shortly share with those
For whom He did
atone.
Song 320
verse 4
Up to our
Father's house we go,
To that sweet
home of love :
Many the
mansions that are found,
Where Jesus
dwells above !
Song 320
verse 5
And He who left
that home above,
To be a
sufferer here,
Has left this
world again, for us
A mansion to
prepare.
Song 320
verse 6
To all His
ransomed ones He'll give,
(To us amongst
the rest)
With Him to
dwell, with Him to reign,
With Him for
ever blest.
Song 320
verse 7
Farewell,
farewell, poor faithless world,
With all thy
boasted store ;
We'd not have
joy where He had woe —
Be rich where
He was poor.
Song 321
verse 1
Behold the
Lamb, whose precious blood
Drawn from His
riven side,
Had power to
make our peace with God,
Nor lets one
spot abide.
Song 321
verse 2
The dying thief
beheld that Lamb
Expiring by his
side,
And proved the
value of the Name
Of Jesus
crucified.
Song 321
verse 3
His soul, by
virtue of the blood,
To paradise
received,
Redemption's
earliest trophy stood,
From sin and
death retrieved.
Song 321
verse 4
We, too, the
cleansing power have known
Of Christ's
atoning blood,
By grace have
learnt His name to own,
By which we're
brought to God.
Song 321
verse 5
To Him, then,
let our songs ascend,
Who stooped in
grace so low :
To Christ, the
Lamb, the sinner's Friend,
Let ceaseless
praises flow.
Song 322
verse 1
There is a
stream of precious blood
Which flowed
from Jesus' veins ;
And sinners
washed in that blest flood
Lose all their
guilty stains.
Song 322
verse 2
The dying thief
rejoiced to see
That Saviour in
his day ;
And by that
blood, though vile as he,
My sins are
washed away.
Song 322
verse 3
Blest Lamb of
God, Thy precious blood
Shall never
lose its power,
Till every
ransomed saint of God
Be saved to sin
no more.
Song 322
verse 4
E'er since by
faith I saw the stream
Thy wounds
supplied for me,
Redeeming love
has been my theme,
And shall for
ever be.
Song 322
verse 5
Soon in a
nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing Thy
power to save ;
No more with
lisping, stammering tongue,
But conqueror
o'er the grave.
Song 322
verse 6
Lord, I believe
Thou hast prepared,
Unworthy though
I be,
For me a
blood-bought free reward,
A harp of God
for me.
Song 322
verse 7
'Tis strung and
tuned for endless years,
And formed by
power divine,
To sound in God
the Father's ears
No other name
but Thine.
Song 323
verse 1
The Lord
Himself shall come
And shout a
quickening word;
Thousands shall
answer from the tomb;
"For ever
with the Lord".
Song 323
verse 2
Then as we
upward fly,
That
resurrection-word
Shall be our
shout of victory:
"For ever
with the Lord".
Song 323
verse 3
How shall we
meet those eyes ?
Ours on Himself
we'll cast,
And own
ourselves the Saviour's prize,
Mercy from
first to last.
Song 323
verse 4
There with
unwearied gaze
Our eyes on Him
we'll rest,
And satisfy
with endless praise
Our hearts
supremely blest.
Song 323
verse 5
Knowing as we
are known,
How shall we
love that word !
How oft repeat
before the throne,
"For ever
with the Lord !"
Song 323
verse 6
That
resurrection-word,
That shout of
victory !
Once more
"For ever with the Lord,"
Amen, so let it
be.
Song 324
verse 1
Lord Jesus,
come,
Nor let us
longer roam
Afar from Thee,
and that bright place
Where we shall
see Thee face to face;
Lord Jesus,
come.
Song 324
verse 2
Lord Jesus,
come,
Thine absence
here we mourn;
No joy we know
apart from Thee,
No sorrow in
Thy presence see;
Lord Jesus,
come.
Song 324
verse 3
Lord Jesus,
come,
And claim us as
Thine own ;
With longing
hearts the path we tread,
Which Thee to
heavenly glory led ;
Come, Saviour,
come.
Song 324
verse 4
Lord Jesus,
come,
And take Thy
people home ;
That all Thy
flock, so scattered here,
With Thee in
glory may appear ;
Lord Jesus,
come.
Song 325
verse 1
We wait for
Thee, O Son of God,
And long for
Thine appearing ;
"A little
while" — Thou'lt come, O Lord,
Thy waiting
people cheering.
Thus hast Thou
said : we lift the head
In joyful
expectation,
For Thou wilt
bring salvation.
Song 325
verse 2
We wait for
Thee, content to share
In patience,
days of trial ;
So meekly Thou
the cross didst bear,
Our sin,
reproach, denial.
How should not
we receive with Thee
The cup of
shame and sorrow,
Until the
promised morrow ?
Song 325
verse 3
We wait for
Thee, for Thou, e'en here,
Hast won our
hearts' affection;
In spirit still
we find Thee near,
Our solace and
protection.
In cloudless
light and glory bright
We soon with
joy shall greet Thee,
And in the air
shall meet Thee.
Song 325
verse 4
We wait for
Thee ; Thou wilt arise
Whilst hope her
watch is keeping;
Forgotten then,
in glad surprise,
Shall be our
years of weeping.
Our hearts beat
high, the dawn is nigh
That ends our
pilgrim story
In Thine
eternal glory.
Song 326
verse 1
As debtors to
mercy alone,
Of heavenly
mercy we sing ;
Nor fear to
draw near to the throne,
Our praise and
our worship to bring :
The wrath of a
sin-hating God
With us can
have nothing to do ;
The Saviour's
obedience and blood
Hide all our
transgressions from view.
Song 326
verse 2
The work which
His goodness began,
The arm of His
strength will complete :
His promise is
Yea and Amen,
And never was
forfeited yet :
Things future,
nor things that are now,
Nor all things
below nor above,
Can make Him
His purpose forgo,
Or sever our
souls from His love.
Song 326
verse 3
Our names from
the palms of His hands
Eternity will
not erase :
Impressed on
His heart they remain
In marks of
indelible grace:
And we to the
end shall endure,
As sure as the
earnest is given ;
More happy, but
not more secure,
The spirits
departed to heaven.
Song 327
verse 1
Lord Jesus, are
we one with Thee ?
Oh height, oh
depth, of love !
Once slain for
us upon the tree,
We're one with
Thee above.
Song 327
verse 2
Such was Thy
grace, that for our sake
Thou didst from
heaven come down ;
With us of
flesh and blood partake,
And make our
woes Thine own.
Song 327
verse 3
Our sins, our
guilt, in love divine,
Confessed and
borne by Thee;
The gall, the
curse, the wrath were Thine,
To set Thy
ransomed free.
Song 327
verse 4
Ascended now in
glory bright,
Life-giving
Head Thou art ;
Nor life, nor
death, nor depth, nor height,
Thy saints and
Thee can part.
Song 328
verse 1
O Jesus, Lord,
we love Thee,
Exalt Thy Name
alone ;
No other name
is worthy,
No other Lord
we own.
For Thou cam'st
down from glory
God's holy will
to do,
All
righteousness fulfilling —
The Holy and
the True.
Song 328
verse 2
As when on
earth Thou drewest
Thine own
around Thee, Lord,
To learn Thy
love's sweet story,
To hear Thy
blessed word ;
So now, O Lord,
we gather
Unto Thy
precious Name;
Thy love's
appeal and greatness
Our hearts'
affections claim.
Song 329
verse 1
We thank Thee,
Lord, for weary days
When desert
springs were dry,
And first we
knew what depth of need
Thy love could
satisfy.
Song 329
verse 2
Days when
beneath the desert sun,
Along the
toilsome road,
O'er roughest
ways we walked with One,
That One the
Son of God.
Song 329
verse 3
We thank Thee
for that rest in Thee
The weary only
know,
That perfect
wondrous sympathy
We only learn
below.
Song 329
verse 4
The sweet
companionship of One
Who once the
desert trod :
The glorious
fellowship with One
Upon the throne
of God.
Song 329
verse 5
We know Thee as
we could not know
Through
heaven's golden years ;
We there shall
see Thy glorious face —
Here understand
Thy tears !
Song 329
verse 6
And here in
peace, with Thee we go
Where Thou, our
Shepherd, trod,
Still, learning
through our need below
Depths of the
heart of God.
Song 330
verse 1
What raised the
wondrous thought,
Or who did it
suggest,
That we, the
church, to glory brought,
Should with the
Son be blest ?
Song 330
verse 2
O God! the
thought was Thine,
(Thine only it
could be),
Fruit of the
wisdom, love divine,
Peculiar unto
Thee :
Song 330
verse 3
For, sure, no
other mind,
For thoughts so
bold, so free,
Greatness or
strength, could ever find ;
Thine only it
could be.
Song 330
verse 4
The motives,
too, Thine own,
The plan, the
counsel, Thine !
Made for Thy
Son, bone of His bone,
In glory bright
to shine.
Song 330
verse 5
O God, with
great delight
Thy wondrous
thought we see,
Upon His
throne, in glory bright
The bride of
Christ shall be.
Song 330
verse 6
Sealed with the
Holy Ghost,
We triumph in
that love,
Thy wondrous
thought has made our boast,
Glory with
Christ above.
Song 331
verse 1
Father, Thy
sovereign love has sought
Captives to
sin, gone far from Thee ;
The work that
Thine own Son hath wrought,
Has brought us
back in peace and free.
Song 331
verse 2
And now as sons
before Thy face,
With joyful
steps the path we tread,
Which leads us
on to that blest place
Prepared for us
by Christ our Head.
Song 331
verse 3
Thou gav'st us,
in eternal love,
To Him to bring
us home to Thee,
Suited to Thine
own thought above,
As sons like
Him, with Him to be
Song 331
verse 4
In Thine own
house. There love divine
Fills the
bright courts with cloudless joy ;
But 'tis the
love that made us Thine,
Fills all that
house without alloy.
Song 331
verse 5
O boundless
grace which fills with joy
Unmingled all
that enter there !
God's nature,
love without alloy,
Our hearts are
given e'en now to share.
Song 331
verse 6
God's
righteousness with glory bright,
Which with its
radiance fills that sphere,
E'en Christ, of
God the power and light,
Our title is
that light to share.
Song 331
verse 7
O mind divine,
so must it be
That glory all
belongs to God :
O love divine,
that did decree
We should be
part, through Jesus' blood.
Song 331
verse 8
O keep us, love
divine near Thee,
That we our
nothingness may know,
And ever to Thy
glory be
Walking in
faith while here below.
Song 332
verse 1
'We rest on
Thee,' our shield and our defender;
We go not forth
alone against the foe;
Strong in Thy
strength, safe in Thy keeping tender,
'We rest on
Thee, and in Thy name we go.'
Song 332
verse 2
Yea, 'in Thy
name', O Captain of salvation!
In Thy dear
name, all other names above;
Jesus our
righteousness, our sure foundation,
Our Prince of glory
and our King of love.
Song 332
verse 3
'We go' in
faith, our own great weakness feeling,
And needing
more each day Thy grace to know:
Yet from our
hearts a song of triumph pealing;
'We rest on
Thee, and in Thy name we go.'
Song 332
verse 4
'We rest on
Thee', our shield and our defender ;
Thine is the
battle; Thine shall be the praise ;
When passing
through the gates of pearly splendour,
Victors, we
rest, with Thee, through endless days.
Song 333
verse 1
Asleep through
Jesus, blessed sleep
From which none
ever wakes to weep ;
A calm and
undisturbed repose,
Where powerless
is the last of foes.
Song 333
verse 2
Asleep through
Jesus, oh, how sweet
To be for such
a slumber meet,
With holy
confidence to sing
That death has
lost its venomed sting !
Song 333
verse 3
Asleep through
Jesus, peaceful rest,
Whence waking
we're supremely blest ;
No fear, no woe
shall dim the hour
That manifests
the Saviour's power.
Song 333
verse 4
Asleep through
Jesus: Yes, to be
From every
earthly hindrance free,
While, in the
consciousness of love
The spirit
lives with Christ above.
Song 334
verse 1
Through the
love of God our Saviour,
All will be
well ;
Free and
changeless is His favour,
All, all is
well.
Precious is the
blood that healed us,
Perfect is the
grace that sealed us,
Strong the hand
stretched forth to shield us,
All must be
well.
Song 334
verse 2
Though we pass
through tribulation,
All will be
well.
Ours is such a
full salvation,
All, all is
well.
Happy still in
God confiding ;
Fruitful if in
Christ abiding ;
Steadfast
through the Spirit's guiding :
All must be
well.
Song 334
verse 3
We expect a
bright tomorrow ;
All will be
well.
Faith can sing
through days of sorrow,
All, all is
well.
On our Father's
love relying,
Jesus every
need supplying ;
Or in living or
in dying ;
All must be
well.
Song 335
verse 1
Lord Jesus,
gladly do our lips express
Our hearts'
deep sense of all Thy worthiness;
Thou Risen One,
the Holy and the True,
We give Thee
now the praise so justly due.
Song 335
verse 2
Thou giv'st us,
Lord, once more to taste down here,
The joy Thy
presence brings, its warmth and cheer;
With great
delight we 'neath Thy shadow rest,
Thy fruit is
sweet to those Thy love has blessed.
Song 335
verse 3
Thou wast
alone, till like the precious grain,
In death Thou
layest, but did'st rise again;
And in Thy
risen life, a countless host
Are "all
of one" with Thee, Thy joy and boast.
Song 335
verse 4
We bless Thee,
Lord, Thou lov'st to take Thy place
Amongst Thine
own, who taste Thy boundless grace
'Tis here we
learn Thee, as Thou'rt known above,
In heavenly
glory — home of perfect love.
Song 336
verse 1
Behold, what
wondrous love and grace !
When we were
wretched and undone,
To save a
ruined, helpless race,
The Father gave
His only Son !
Of twice ten
thousand gifts divine,
No gift like
this could ever shine.
Song 336
verse 2
O gift of love
unspeakable !
O gift of mercy
all divine !
We once were
slaves of death and hell,
But in Christ's
image we shall shine :
For every gift
a song we raise,
But this
demands eternal praise.
Song 336
verse 3
Praise shall
employ these tongues of ours,
Till we with
all the saints above,
Extol His name
with nobler powers,
And see the
ocean of His love :
Then, while we
look, and wondering gaze,
We'll fill the
heavens with endless praise.
Song 337
verse 1
O God of grace,
our Father,
All praise we
give to Thee,
'Tis in Thy
sovereign favour
All blessedness
we see ;
There only is
the fountain
Whence living
waters flow,
Which like a
glorious river
Still gladden
as they go.
Song 337
verse 2
As Thine, Thou
didst foreknow us
From all
eternity;
Thy chosen
loved ones ever,
Kept present to
Thine eye;
And when was
come the moment,
Thou calling by
Thy grace
Didst gently,
firmly draw us
Each from his
hiding-place.
Song 337
verse 3
Thy word,
Thyself revealing,
Doth sanctify
by truth,
Still leading
on Thy children
With gentle
heavenly growth:
Thus still the
work proceedeth,
(The work begun
by grace),
For each is
meet, and training,
Father, to see
Thy face.
Song 338
verse 1
Though deep, O
Lord, our sorrow
When earthly
ties are rent,
We wait the
glorious morrow
When life's
last day is spent ;
To see Thee,
Lord, in glory
With all Thy
loved ones there,
At home — O
wondrous story ! —
God's endless
rest to share.
Song 338
verse 2
There we shall
see the answer
To all Thy
grief and shame ;
For ever then
in nearness
We'll magnify
Thy name.
But now Thy
love sustains us,
Sore though the
hour of grief ;
What solace, O
Lord Jesus,
In Thee to find
relief !
Song 338
verse 3
As resting in Thy
will, Lord,
We prove Thy
wondrous love ;
The Spirit's
power and comfort
Lift our poor
hearts above,
Beyond earth's
mortal dwelling,
To yonder glory
bright,
Where endless
anthems swelling
Shall soon our
hearts delight.
Song 339
verse 1
Lord, dismiss
us hence with gladness;
Be Thine
outcast lot our choice :
'Tis Thy foes
have need of sadness,
But Thine own
may well rejoice;
Who shall harm
us
While we know
and hear Thy voice ?
Song 339
verse 2
Saviour, keep
us from all evil,
Go before us in
the way ;
Till we reach
the rest of heaven
Be Thy word our
guide and stay ;
Joy and triumph
Now are ours
and in that day.
Song 340
verse 1
Father, we
commend our spirits
To Thy love in
Jesus' name,
Love which His
atoning merits
Give us
confidence to claim.
Song 340
verse 2
Oh, how sweet,
how real a pleasure
Flows from love
so full and free !
'Tis a vast
exhaustless treasure,
Saviour, we
possess in Thee.
Song 340
verse 3
From the world
and its confusion
Here we turn
and find our rest ;
From its care
and its delusion
Turn to Thee,
in whom we're blest.
Song 340
verse 4
By the Holy
Ghost anointed,
May we do the
Father's will,
Walk the path
by Him appointed
All His
pleasure to fulfil.
Song 341
verse 1
O gracious God,
Thy pleasure
Is in Thy
Christ made known,
And tells the
boundless measure
Of blessing for
Thine own :
He has Thy
presence entered,
As Man in
heaven is known ;
In Him Thy
glory's centred,
In Him Thy
purpose shown.
Song 341
verse 2
And oh, what
love is beaming
Refulgent in
that face !
What blessed
light is streaming
From that most
glorious place !
Both love and
light proclaiming
What Thou, the
Father, art,
And wondrous
grace revealing,
With Thine own
Son, our part.
Song 341
verse 3
Thou Source of
every blessing ;
Thou Spring of
all delight ;
Thy name with
joy confessing
Let all the
saints unite.
Each heart its
praise outpouring
To Thee all
praise above,
Each voice in
strains adoring,
Re-echoes —
"God is love."
Song 342
verse 1
O God, our
hearts are lifted
To Thee in
grateful praise ;
Responsive to
Thy Spirit
A joyful song
we raise ;
For He Thy
gracious purpose
In Christ to us
has shown,
That now as
sons before Thee,
His favour is
our own.
Song 342
verse 2
In nature's
darkness shrouded,
And dead in
sins we lay,
Until Thy Holy
Spirit
Transformed our
night to day,
Awakened needs
within us,
Begetting us
anew,
And by love's
strong compelling,
Our souls to
Jesus drew.
Song 342
verse 3
We trusted Him
as Saviour,
When rest and
peace we sought,
And now Thy
Spirit seals us,
As those His
love has bought.
Made Thine He
ne'er will leave us,
For He is
pledged to stay,
As earnest of
our portion,
Until
redemption's day.
Song 342
verse 4
O may Thy Holy
Spirit,
Blest unction
from on high,
With all His
rich infilling,
Lead us to
glorify
The risen
Christ, our Saviour,
By loyal
witness true,
Constraining us
to serve Him
In all we say
and do.
Song 343
verse 1
O Lord, Thy
love's unbounded,
So sweet, so
full, so free ;
My soul is all
transported
Whene'er I
think on Thee.
Song 343
verse 2
Yet, Lord, alas,
what weakness
Within myself I
find :
No infant's
changing pleasure
Is like my
wandering mind.
Song 343
verse 3
And yet Thy
love's unchanging,
And doth recall
my heart
To joy in all
its brightness —
The peace its
beams impart.
Song 343
verse 4
Yet sure, if in
Thy presence
My soul still
constant were,
Mine eye would,
more familiar,
Its brighter
glories bear.
Song 343
verse 5
And thus Thy
deep perfections
Much better
should I know,
And with
adoring fervour
In this Thy
nature grow.
Song 343
verse 6
Still sweet
'tis to discover,
If clouds have
dimmed my sight,
When passed,
eternal Lover,
Towards me, as
e'er, Thou'rt bright.
Song 343
verse 7
O keep my soul,
then, Jesus,
Abiding still
with Thee ;
And if I
wander, teach me
Soon back to
Thee to flee,
Song 343
verse 8
That all Thy
gracious favour
May to my soul
be known ;
And, versed in
this Thy goodness,
My hopes
Thyself shalt crown.
Song 344
verse 1
Not I, but
Christ, be honoured, loved, exalted ;
Not I, but
Christ, be seen, be known, be heard ;
Not I, but
Christ, in every look and action ;
Not I, but
Christ, in every thought and word.
Song 344
verse 2
Not I, but
Christ, to gently soothe in sorrow ;
Not I, but
Christ, to wipe the falling tear ;
Not I, but
Christ, to lift the weary burden ;
Not I, but
Christ, to hush away all fear.
Song 344
verse 3
Not I, but
Christ, in lowly, silent labour ;
Not I, but
Christ, in humble, earnest toil ;
Christ, only
Christ! no show, no ostentation ;
Christ, none
but Christ, the gath’rer of the spoil.
Song 344
verse 4
Christ, only
Christ, ere long will fill my vision ;
Glory
excelling, soon, full soon, I'll see —
Christ, only
Christ, my every wish fulfilling —
Christ, only
Christ, my All in all to be.
Song 345
verse 1
A shameful
death He dies,
Uplifted with
transgressors twain,
The Lamb for
sacrifice,
By sinners
slain.
Song 345
verse 2
Full was the
cup of woe;
In death His
thorn-crowned head declined;
"'Tis
done," He cried, and then
His soul
resigned.
Song 345
verse 3
O come my soul,
and gaze
On that great
grief, that crown of thorn:
See there, in
deep amaze,
Thy sentence
borne.
Song 345
verse 4
To Thee, O
Saviour Lord,
Who washed in
blood our sins away,
Our boundless
gratitude
Its thanks
would pay.
Song 346
verse 1
Lord of the
worlds above,
How pleasant
and how fair
The dwellings
of Thy love,
The heavenly
mansions are !
To Thine abode
Our hearts
aspire,
With warm
desire
To see our God.
Song 346
verse 2
There is Thy
throne of grace,
The virtue of
the blood ;
There lives
before Thy face
Our great High
Priest, O God;
His name our
plea,
We now draw
near
In holy fear,
To worship
Thee.
Song 346
verse 3
We go from
strength to strength
Through this
dark vale of tears,
Till each
arrives at length,
And safe in
heaven appears:
O glorious
seat,
Where God the
King
Shall shortly
bring
Our willing
feet.
Song 347
verse 1
Gracious Lord,
my heart is fixed;
Sing I will,
and sing of Thee,
Since the cup
that justice mixed,
Thou hast
drunk, and drunk for me;
Great
Deliverer,
Thou hast set
the prisoner free.
Song 347
verse 2
Many were the
chains that bound me,
But the Lord
has loosed them all ;
Arms of mercy
now surround me,
Favours these,
nor few nor small ;
Saviour, keep
me,
Keep Thy
servant lest he fall.
Song 347
verse 3
Fair the scene
that lies before me ;
Life eternal
Jesus gives ;
While He waves
His banner o'er me,
Peace and joy
my soul receives :
Sure His
promise ;
I shall live
because He lives.
Song 347
verse 4
When the world
would bid me leave Thee,
Telling me of
shame and loss,
Saviour, guard
me, lest I grieve Thee,
Lest I cease to
love Thy cross ;
This is
treasure ;
All the rest I
count but loss.
Song 348
verse 1
Blest Lord,
Thou spakest ! 'twas Thy voice
That led our
hearts to Thee ;
That drew us to
that better choice,
Where grace has
set us free.
Song 348
verse 2
Thou wouldest
that we should rejoice
And walk by
faith below ;
Enough, that we
have heard Thy voice,
And learned Thy
love's deep woe —
Song 348
verse 3
Thy glory, Lord
— this living waste
To us no rest
can give ;
Our path is on
with earnest haste,
Lord, in Thy
rest to live.
Song 348
verse 4
Our happiness,
O Lord, with Thee
Is long laid up
in store,
For that blest
day when Thee we'll see,
And conflict
will be o'er.
Song 348
verse 5
Yes, love
divine in Thee we know ;
The Father's
glories soon
Shall burst
upon our ravished view,
Thyself our
endless crown.
Song 348
verse 6
Soon shall we
see Thee as Thou art,
O hope for ever
blest !
Thou'lt call
us, in our heavenly part,
The Father's
house, to rest.
Song 348
verse 7
O rest
ineffable, divine,
The rest of God
above,
Where we shall
ever see Thee shine,
Our joy,
eternal love !
Song 349
verse 1
My soul, repeat
His praise
Whose mercies
are so great;
Whose anger is
so slow to rise,
So ready to
abate.
Song 349
verse 2
High as the
heavens are raised
Above the earth
we tread,
So far the
riches of God's grace
Our highest
thoughts exceed.
Song 349
verse 3
His power
subdues our sin;
And His
forgiving love,
Far as the east
is from the west,
Did all our
guilt remove.
Song 349
verse 4
Man's life is
as the grass,
Or like the
morning flower;
If one sharp
blast sweep o'er the field,
It withers in
an hour.
Song 349
verse 5
But Thy
compassions, Lord,
To endless
years endure;
And all Thy
people ever find
Thy word of
promise sure.
Song 350
verse 1
O teach us,
Lord, Thy searchless love to know,
Thou, who hast
died.
Before our
feeble faith, Lord Jesus, show
Thy hands and
side ;
That our glad
hearts, responsive unto Thine,
May wake with
all the power of love divine.
Song 350
verse 2
Thy death has
brought to light the Father's heart,
And ours has
won ;
And now we
contemplate Thee as Thou art,
God's glorious
Son !
And know that
we are loved with that great love,
That rests on
Thee in those bright courts above.
Song 350
verse 3
Thy flesh is
meat, Thy blood, blest Saviour, shed,
Is drink
indeed;
On Thee, the
true, the heavenly, living Bread,
Our souls would
feed,
And live with
Thee in life's eternal home,
Where sin, nor
want, nor woe, nor death can come.
Song 351
verse 1
Bride of the
Lamb, awake, awake;
Why sleep for
sorrow now ?
The hope of
glory, Christ, is thine,
A child of
glory thou.
Song 351
verse 2
Thy spirit,
through the lonely night,
From earthly
joy apart,
Hath sighed for
one that's far away,
The Bridegroom
of thy heart.
Song 351
verse 3
But see, the
night is waning fast,
The breaking
morn is near ;
And Jesus
comes, with voice of love,
Thy drooping
heart to cheer.
Song 351
verse 4
He comes, for,
oh ! His yearning heart
No more can
bear delay,
To scenes of
full unmingled joy
To call His
bride away.
Song 351
verse 5
This earth, the
scene of all His woe,
A homeless wild
to thee,
Full soon upon
His heavenly throne
Its rightful
King shall see.
Song 351
verse 6
Thou too shalt
reign; He will not wear
His crown of
joy alone ;
And earth His
royal bride shall see
Beside Him on
the throne.
Song 351
verse 7
Then weep no
more ; 'tis all thine own,
His crown, His
joy divine ;
And sweeter far
than all beside,
He, He Himself,
is thine.
Song 352
verse 1
From the palace
of His glory,
From the home
of joy and love,
Came the Lord
Himself to seek us;
He would have
us there above.
Song 352
verse 2
There from that
eternal brightness
Have His
thoughts flowed forth in love ;
He in His great
love would have us
Ever there with
Him above.
Song 352
verse 3
Trembling, we
had hoped for mercy —
Some lone place
within the door;
But the crown,
the throne, the mansion
All were
purposed long before.
Song 352
verse 4
And in past and
distant ages,
In those courts
so bright and fair,
Ere we were,
was He rejoicing,
All He won with
us to share.
Song 353
verse 1
Great God of
wonders, all Thy ways
Are righteous,
matchless and divine ;
But the blest
triumphs of Thy grace
Most
marvellous, unrivalled, shine ;
Who is a
pardoning God like Thee ?
Or who has
grace so rich and free ?
Song 353
verse 2
Crimes of such
horror to forgive,
Such guilty,
daring worms to spare ;
This is Thy
grand prerogative,
And none can in
that honour share:
Pardon, O God,
is only Thine ;
Mercy and grace
are all divine.
Song 353
verse 3
In wonder lost,
with trembling joy,
We hail the
pardon of our God,
Pardon for
crimes of deepest dye,
A pardon traced
in Jesus' blood.
To pardon thus
is Thine alone ;
Mercy and grace
are both Thine own.
Song 353
verse 4
Soon shall this
strange, this wondrous grace,
This perfect
miracle of love,
Fill the wide
earth, while sweeter praise
Sounds its own
note in heaven above :
Who is a
pardoning God like Thee ?
Or who has
grace so rich, so free ?
Song 354
verse 1
Come, Thou
fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart
to sing Thy grace ;
Streams of
mercy, never ceasing,
Call for
ceaseless songs of praise.
Song 354
verse 2
Jesus sought me
when a stranger,
Wand’ring from
the ways of God :
He, to rescue
me from danger,
Interposed His
precious blood.
Song 354
verse 3
Oh, to grace
how great a debtor
Daily I'm
constrained to be !
Let that grace,
Lord, like a fetter,
Bind my
wand’ring heart to Thee.
Song 354
verse 4
Prone to
wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to grieve
the One I love :
Yet Thou, Lord,
hast deigned to seal it,
With Thy Spirit
from above.
Song 354
verse 5
Rescued thus
from sin and danger,
Purchased by
the Saviour's blood,
May I walk on
earth a stranger,
As a son and
heir of God.
Song 355
verse 1
Come, ye that
love the Lord,
And let your
joys be known ;
Join in a song
with sweet accord,
And thus
approach the throne.
Song 355
verse 2
Let those
refuse to sing
Who never knew
our God ;
But children
should their praises bring
And speak their
joys abroad.
Song 355
verse 3
The God who
rules on high
And all the
earth surveys,
Who rides upon
the stormy sky
And calms the
roaring seas,
Song 355
verse 4
This sovereign
God is ours,
A God of
boundless love;
Whose faithful
grace and mighty powers
Shall carry us
above.
Song 355
verse 5
There we shall
see His face,
And never,
never sin ;
There from the
fountain of His grace
Drink endless
pleasures in.
Song 356
verse 1
A holy Father's
constant care
Keeps watch,
with an unwearying eye,
To see what
fruits His children bear —
Fruits that may
suit their calling high ;
Song 356
verse 2
Takes ever knowledge
of our state,
What dims
communion with His love,
Might check our
growth, or separate
Our hearts from
what's revealed above.
Song 356
verse 3
O wondrous
love! that ne'er forgets
The objects of
its tender care ;
May chasten
still, while sin besets,
To warn and
guard them where they are :
Song 356
verse 4
Yet ne'er
forgets, but feeds them still
With tokens of
His tender love ;
Will keep till,
freed from every ill,
They find their
rest with Him above.
Song 357
verse 1
Thou hast stood
here, Lord Jesus
Beside the
still, cold grave,
And proved Thy
deep compassion,
Thy mightiness
to save ;
Thy tears of
tender pity,
Thy spirit's
anguished groan,
Teach how for
us Thou feelest
Now seated on
the throne.
Song 357
verse 2
Thou hast lain
here, Lord Jesus,
Thyself the
Victim then ;
The Lord of
life and glory
Once slain for
sinful men.
From sin and
condemnation,
When none but
Thou could'st save,
Thy love than
death was stronger,
And deeper than
the grave.
Song 357
verse 3
Thou hast been
here, Lord Jesus,
But Thou art
here no more ;
The terror and
the darkness,
The night of
death are o'er ;
Great Captain
of salvation,
Thy triumphs
now we sing;
O grave, where
is thy victory ?
O death, where
is thy sting ?
Song 357
verse 4
We wait for
Thine appearing:
We weep, but we
rejoice;
In all our
grief and sorrow
We still can
hear Thy voice:
"I am the
Resurrection;
I live, who
once was slain;
Fear not, the
one thou mournest
Shall rise with
Me to reign."
Song 366
verse 1
Heard the voice
of Jesus say,
"Come unto
Me and rest ;
Lay down, thou
weary one, lay down
Thy head upon
My breast."
I came to Jesus
as I was,
Weary, and
worn, and sad ;
I found in Him
a resting-place,
And He has made
me glad.
Song 366
verse 2
I heard the
voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I
freely give
The living
water — thirsty one,
Stoop down, and
drink, and live."
I came to Jesus
and I drank
Of that life-giving
stream ;
My thirst was
quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live
in Him.
Song 366
verse 3
I heard the
voice of Jesus say,
"I am this
dark world's light ;
Look unto Me :
thy morn shall rise
And all thy day
be bright."
I looked to
Jesus, and I found
In Him my Star,
my Sun ;
And in that
light of life I'll walk
Till travelling
days are done.
Song 435
verse 1
God in mercy
sent His Son
To a world by
sin undone;
Jesus Christ
was crucified —
'Twas for
sinners Jesus died.
Song 435
verse 2
Oh ! the
glory of the grace,
Shining in the
Saviour's face,
Telling sinners
from above,
"God is
Light" and "God is Love."
Song 435
verse 3
Sin and death
no more shall reign,
Jesus died and
lives again.
In the glory's
highest height
See Him God's
supreme delight.
Song 435
verse 4
All who in His
name believe,
Everlasting
life receive;
Lord of all is
Jesus now;
Every knee to
Him must bow.
Song 435
verse 5
Christ the Lord
will come again;
He who suffered
once will reign;
Every tongue at
last shall own,
"Worthy is
the Lamb" alone.
Song 464
verse 1
O God, how wide
Thy glory shines,
How high Thy
wonders rise !
Known through
the earth by thousand signs,
By thousands
through the skies.
Song 464
verse 2
But when we
view Thy love's design
To save
rebellious worms,
Where vengeance
and compassion join
In their
divinest forms ;
Song 464
verse 3
Here Thy full
character is shown,
Nor dares a
creature guess
Which of the glories
brighter shone —
The justice or
the grace.
Song 464
verse 4
Now the full
glories of the Lamb
Adorn the
heavenly throne,
While saints on
earth that know His name
Their Lord and
Saviour own.
Song 464
verse 5
How blest are
we who have a part
In that immortal
song!
Wonder and joy
become our heart,
And praise and
thanks our tongue.
Song 495
verse 1
Our God and our
Father, we come to Thee now
In th’ name of
our Saviour, most humbly to bow,
For Thy
servants who've gone forth, to serve far away,
And pray for
their safety and blessing today.
Song 495
verse 2
With deep
supplication, in the Spirit we ask
For Thy guid’nce
and blessing, on their every task,
That with
boldness of utterance, Thy Word may resound
And the gospel
go forth, with a glad joyful sound.
Song 495
verse 3
Help them to be
fruitful in service and life,
And keep them
abiding and free from all strife,
That they may
be blameless and harmless each day
And hold forth
the Word of life, brightly alway.
Song 495
verse 4
Let them fight
a good fight, and run a straight course,
Keep true to
the Faith and proclaim it with force,
Let the Word of
Christ richly in them always dwell,
And give them
Thy peace, as the umpire as well.
Song 495
verse 5
As we strive
thus together, in prayer now for them,
We ask Thee to
keep them from ungodly men.
Let their
service be always accepted by saints,
And Thy Word
have free course, without let or restraints. Amen.
Song 501
verse 1
Away with our
sorrow and fear !
We soon shall have
ent’red our home,
The heavenly
city appear,
The day of our
glory have come ;
From earth we
shall quickly remove
To dwell in our
proper abode,
In mansions of
glory above —
The house of
our Father and God.
Song 501
verse 2
With Christ
everlastingly one,
His glory and
bliss we shall see ;
His face shall
be bright as the sun,
And we His
reflection shall be.
All tears shall
have passed from our eyes,
When Him we
behold in the cloud,
And taste the
full joy of the skies,
The love of our
Father and God.
Song 502
verse 1
Go, and search
the tomb of Jesus,
Where the Lord
of glory lay ;
Jesus is not
there, but risen,
And has borne
our sins away.
It is
finished ! (x2)
Captive led
captivity.
Song 502
verse 2
Could not all
our sins retain Him,
Prisoned in the
guarded cave ?
These He
blotted out in dying,
By His cross He
spoiled the grave :
Lo ! He's
risen ! (x2)
Yes, the Lord
is risen to save.
Song 503
verse 1
All things that
God or man could wish
In Jesus richly
meet ;
Not to our eyes
is light so dear,
No earthly tie
so sweet.
Song 503
verse 2
Oh, may His
name still cheer our hearts
And shed its
fragrance there !
The sweetest
balm of every wound,
The cure fore
every care.
Song 504
verse 1
O precious
Saviour, deep Thy pain ;
From Thee the
life-blood flowed
That washed our
souls from every stain,
That paid the
debt we owed.
Song 504
verse 2
Cleansed from
our sins, renewed by grace,
Thy royal
throne above
Blest Saviour,
is our destined place ;
Our portion
there Thy love.
Song 504
verse 3
Thine eye in
that bright cloudless day
Shall, with
supreme delight,
Thy fair and
glorious bride survey
Unblemished in
Thy sight.
Song 505
verse 1
From
Where death and
darkness reign,
We seek our
new, our better home,
Where we our
rest shall gain :
{Hallelujah !
Hallelujah !
We are on our
way to God.}
Song 505
verse 1
There sin and
sorrow cease,
And, conflict
all are o'er,
There we shall
dwell in endless peace,
And never
hunger more :
{Hallelujah !
Hallelujah !} etc.
Song 505
verse 1
How sweet the
prospect is !
It cheers the
pilgrim's breast ;
We're
journeying through the wilderness,
But soon shall
gain our rest :
{Hallelujah !
Hallelujah !} etc.
Song 506
verse 1
Father, Oh, how
vast the blessing,
When Thy Son
returns again !
Then the
church, its rest possessing,
O'er the earth
with Him shall reign.
Song 506
verse 2
For the
fathers' sakes beloved,
Shall on earth,
the curse removèd,
Be the people
of the Lord.
Song 506
verse 3
Then, too,
countless myriads, wearing
Robes made
white in Jesu's blood,
Palms, like
rested pilgrims, bearing,
Stand before
the throne of God :
Song 506
verse 4
These, redeemed
from every nation,
Shall in
triumph bless Thy name ;
Every voice
shall cry, « Salvation
To our God and
to the Lamb. »
Song 507
verse 1
Crowns of glory
ever bright,
Rest upon the Victor's
head ;
Crowns of glory
are His right,
His, « who
liveth and was dead. »
Song 507
verse 2
He subdued the
powers of hell,
In the fight He
stood alone ;
All His foes
before Him fell,
By His single
arm o'erthrown.
Song 507
verse 3
His the fights,
the arduous toil,
His the honours
of the day ;
His the glory
and the spoil :
Jesus bears
them all away.
Song 507
verse 4
Now proclaim
His deeds afar,
Fill the world
with His renown ;
His alone the
Victor's car,
His the
everlasting crown.
Song 508
verse 1
God's sov’reign
grace to us has given,
While pilgrims
here below,
A share in all
the joys of heaven,
And that blest
heaven to know.
Song 508
verse 2
With thankful
hearts we now can bid
Farewell to
pleasure here ;
With Christ in
God our life is hid,
And all its
springs are there.
Song 508
verse 3
'Tis now
concealed and lodged secure
In God's
eternal Son,
And there, as
He, it shall endure,
Though to the
world unknown.
Song 508
verse 4
Then, Lord,
remove whate'er divides
Our longing
souls from Thee ;
'Tis fit that
where the Head resides,
The members'
hearts should be.
Song 509
verse 1
Hark the glad
sound, the Saviour comes,
the Saviour
promised long ;
Take up the
word, ye blood- bought saints,
Renew the
gladsome song.
Song 509
verse 2
He comes
creation to release,
in Satan's
bondage held ;
The tyrant’s thraldom
to destroy,
And make th’ usurper yield.
Song 509
verse 3
He comes the
mighty foe to bind,
The groaning
earth to free ;
And, chief of
all God’s priceless gifts,
Himself its Lord to be.
Song 509
verse 4
Hosannas glad,
Thou Prince of Peace,
Thy welcome
shall proclaim ;
And all
creation shall rejoice
In Thy belovèd name.
Song 510
verse 1
He bids us
come ; His voice we know,
And boldly on
the waters go,
To Him our God
and Lord ;
We walk on
life's tempestuous sea,
For He who died
to set us free.
Song 510
verse 2
But if from Him
we turn the eye
We see the
raging floods run high,
We feel our
fears within ;
Our foes so
strong, our flesh so frail,
Reason and
unbelief prevail,
And plunge us
into sin.
Song 510
verse 3
Lord ! we
our unbelief confess,
Do thou our
little faith increase,
That we may
fail no more,
But fix on Thee
a steady eye,
And on Thine
outstretched arm rely
Till all the
storm is o'er.
Song 511
verse 1
King of glory !
Glorious Lord !
By Thy saints
admired, adored.
Full of truth
and full of grace,
We will sing
Thy matchless praise.
Song 511
verse 2
King of kings,
to Thee we bow,
Though the
world rejects Thee now ;
Earth shall own
Thy title then.
Song 511
verse 3
Thou shalt
reign, for Thou alone
Worthy art to
fill the throne ;
Thou the
First-born, Son, and Heir,
All things for
Thy glory are.
Song 511
verse 4
Thou shalt
reign in Sion King ;
Daily praises
earth shall bring ;
Heart-felt
songs shall then proclaim,
Thou art
worthy, Lord, to reign.
Song 512
verse 1
Jesus, our
Lord ! we know Thy name :
Thy name is all
our trust ;
Thou wilt not
put our souls to shame,
Nor let our
hope be lost.
Song 512
verse 2
Firm as Thy
life the promise stands,
And Thou canst
well secure
What we've
committed to Thy hands
Till the
appointed hour.
Song 512
verse 3
Then wilt Thou
own us each by name
Before Thy
Father's face,
And in the new
Jerusalem
Give us our blood-bought
place.
Song 513
verse 1
"No
condemnation" ! Oh, my soul,
'Tis God that speaks
the word ;
Perfect in
comeliness art thou
Through Christ,
the risen Lord.
Song 513
verse 2
His precious
blood for ever speaks
In God’s
omniscient ear ;
The saints, as
jewels, on His heart
Jesus doth ever
bear.
Song 513
verse 3
"No condemnation
" ! precious word !
Consider it, my
soul ;
Thy sins were
all on Jesus laid :
His stripes
have made thee whole.
Song 513
verse 4
Teach me, O
God, to fix mine eyes
On Christ the
spotless Lamb ;
So shall I love
Thy precious will,
And glorify His
name.
Song 514
verse 1
The wanderer no
more will roam,
The lost one to
the flock has come,
The prodigal is
welcomed home,
O Lamb of God,
through Thee.
Song 514
verse 2
Though clothed
in rags, by sin defiled,
The Father did
embrace His child ;
And I am
pardoned, reconciled,
O Lamb of God, in
Thee.
Song 514
verse 3
It is the
Father's joy to bless ;
His love has
found for me a dress,
A robe of
spotless righteousness,
O Lamb of God, in
Thee.
Song 514
verse 4
And now my
famished soul is fed,
A feast of love
for me is spread ;
I feed upon the
children's bread,
O Lamb of God, in
Thee.
Song 514
verse 5
Yea, in the fullness
of His grace,
God put me in
the children's place,
Where I may gaze
upon His face,
O Lamb of God, in
Thee.
Song 514
verse 6
Not half His
love can I express,
Yet, Lord, with
joy my lips confess
This blessed
portion I possess,
O Lamb of God, in
Thee
Song 514
verse 7
Thy precious
name it is I bear,
In Thee I am to
God brought near,
And all the
Father's love I share,
O Lamb of God, in
Thee.
Song 514
verse 8
And when I in
Thy likeness shine,
The glory and
the praise be Thine,
That
everlasting joy is mine,
O Lamb of God, in
Thee.
Song 515
verse 1
Thou, Saviour,
art one with God the Supreme,
His Son
everlasting, and equal with Him ;
Invested with
glory, on high Thou dost sit,
While angels
adore The and how at Thy feet.
Song 515
verse 2
How great was
Thy love, how wondrous Thy grace !
Thou camest
from heaven to save a lost race ;
The sharpness
of death Thou didst overcome —
Didst yield up
Thy breath, and sleep in the tomb.
Song 515
verse 3
Thou, Lord, Who
wast dead, art gone up on high,
And captive
hast lead our captivity,
Lord, now
without ceasing we worship Thy name —
Give honour and
blessing to God and the Lamb.
