L. M.

All people that on earth do dwell.

All people that on earth do dwell,

Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;

Him serve with fear, his praise forth tell,

Come ye before him and rejoice.

2 The Lord, ye know, is God indeed;

Without our aid he did us make;

We are his flock, he doth us feed;

And for his sheep he doth us take.

3 O enter then his gates with praise,

Approach with joy his courts unto:

Praise, laud and bless his name always;

For it is seemly so to do.

4 For why? The Lord our God is good;

His mercy is for ever sure;

His truth at all times firmly stood;

And shall from age to age endure.

5 Praise God from whom all blessings flow,

Praise him, all creatures here below;

Praise him above, ye heavenly host;

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Hymn 2.

C. M.

All hail the power of Jesus’ name.

All hail the power of Jesus’ name;

Let angels prostrate fall!

Bring forth the royal diadem,

And crown him Lord of all!

2 Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race,

A remnant weak and small.

Hail him, who saves you by his grace,

And crown him Lord of all!

3 Ye Gentile sinners, ne’er forget

The wormwood and the gall;

Go, spread your trophies at his feet,

And crown him Lord of all!

4 Let ev’ry kindred, ev’ry tribe,

On this terrestrial ball,

To him all majesty ascribe,

And crown him Lord of all!

5 O that with yonder sacred throng,

We at his feet may fall;

We’ll join the everlasting song,

And crown him Lord of all!

Hymn 3.

Pass me not, O gentle Saviour.

Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,

Hear my humble cry;

While on others thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.

Chorus:—

Saviour, Saviour, hear my humble cry;

While on others thou art calling,

Do not pass me by.

2 Let me at a throne of mercy

Find a sweet relief;

Kneeling there in deep contrition,

Help my unbelief.

3 Trusting only in thy merit,

Would I seek thy face;

Heal my wounded, broken spirit,

Save me by thy grace.

4 Thou the spring of all my comfort,

More than life to me:

Whom have I on earth beside thee?

Whom in heaven but thee?

5 Pass me not, O gentle Saviour

Thou canst make me see;

Thy salvation, Jesus, Saviour!

Speak some word to me.

Lord, I hear of showers of blessing.

Lord, I hear of showers of blessing

Thou art scattering full and free—

Showers the thirsty land refreshing;

Let some droppings fall on me—

Chorus.—E-ven me, e-ven me,

Let thy blessing fall on me.

2 Pass me not, O gracious Father!

Sinful though my heart may be;

Thou might’st leave me, but the rather

Let Thy mercy fall on me.

3 Pass me not, O tender Saviour!

Let me love and cling to Thee;

I am longing for Thy favor;

Whilst Thou’rt calling, oh, call me.

4 Pass me not, O mighty Spirit!

Thou can’st make the blind to see;

Witnesser of Jesus’ merit.

Speak the word of power to me.

5 Love of God, so pure and changeless;

Blood of Christ, so rich and free;

Grace of God, so strong and boundless,

Magnify them all in me.

Hymn 5.

S. M.

Forever with the Lord.

For ever with the Lord:

Amen, so let it be,

Life from the dead is in that word,

’Tis immortality.

2 Here in the body pent,

Absent from him I roam,

Yet nightly pitch my moving tent

A day’s march nearer home.

3 My Father’s house on high,

Home of my soul, how near

At times to faith’s foreseeing eye

Thy golden gates appear!

4 Ah, then my spirit faints

To reach the land I love,

The bright inheritance of saints,

Jerusalem above.

5 I hear at morn and even,

At noon and midnight hour,

The choral harmonies of heaven

Earth’s Babel-tongues o’erpower.

6 That resurrection word,

That shout of victory,

Once more, For ever with the Lord:

Amen, so let it be.

Hymn 6.

L. M.

Awake, my soul, and with the sun.

Awake, my soul, and with the sun

Thy daily stage of duty run:

Shake off dull sloth, and early rise,

To pay thy morning sacrifice.

2 Redeem thy misspent moments past,

And live this day as if thy last;

Thy talents to improve take care;

For the great day thyself prepare.

3 Let all thy converse be sincere,

Thy conscience as the noonday clear;

For God’s all-seeing eye surveys

Thy secret thoughts, thy words and ways.

4 Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart,

And with the angels take thy part;

Who all night long unwearied sing

High glory to the eternal King.

5 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;

Praise him, all creatures here below;

Praise him above, ye heavenly host;

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Hymn 7.

L. M.

Glory to thee, my God, this night.

Glory to thee, my God, this night,

For all the blessings of the light.

Keep me, O keep me, King of kings,

Beneath thine own almighty wings!

2 Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear son,

The ill that I this day have done;

That with the world, myself and thee,

I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.

3 Teach me to live, that I may dread

The grave as little as my bed;

Teach me to die, that so I may

Rise glorious at the awful day.

4 O let my soul on thee repose!

And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close;

Sleep that shall me more vigorous make

To serve my God when I awake.

5 If in the night I sleepless lie,

My soul with heavenly thoughts supply;

Let no ill dreams disturb my rest,

No powers of darkness me molest.

6 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;

Praise Him, all creatures here below;

Praise him above, ye heavenly host;

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Hymn 8.

C. M.

While shepherds watch’d their flocks by night.

While shepherds watched their flocks by night,

All seated on the ground,

The angel of the Lord came down,

And glory shone around.

2 “Fear not,” said he, (for mighty dread

Had seized their troubled mind,)

“Glad tidings of great joy I bring

To you and all mankind.

3 “To you in David’s town this day

Is born, of David’s line,

The Saviour, who is Christ the Lord;

And this shall be the sign:

4 “The heavenly babe you there shall find

To human view display’d,

All meanly wrapp’d in swathing bands,

And in a manger laid.”

5 Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith

Appear’d a shining throng

Of angels praising God, on high,

And thus addressed their song:

6 “All glory be to God on high,

And to the earth be peace;

Good will henceforth, from heaven to men,

Begin and never cease.”

[17]

Hymn 9.

C. M.

There is a land of pure delight.

There is a land of pure delight,

Where saints immortal reign:

Infinite day excludes the night,

And pleasures banish pain.

2 There everlasting spring abides,

And never-withr’ing flowers:

Death like a narrow sea divides

That heavenly land from ours.

3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood

Stand dressed in living green:

So to the Jews fair Canaan stood,

While Jordan roll’d between.

4 But tim’rous mortals start and shrink

To cross that narrow sea;

And linger shiv’ring on the brink,

And fear to launch away.

5 O could we make our doubts remove,

Those gloomy doubts that rise,

And see the Canaan that we love,

With unbeclouded eyes!

6 Could we but climb where Moses stood,

And view the landscape o’er,

Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood,

Should fright us from the shore.

[19]

Hymn 10.

C. M.

O for a thousand tongues to sing.

O for a thousand tongues to sing

My great Redeemer’s praise!

The glories of my God and King,

The triumphs of his grace.

2 My gracious Master, and my God,

Assist me to proclaim,

To spread through all the earth abroad

The honours of Thy name.

3 Jesus! the name that charms our fears,

That bids our sorrows cease;

’Tis music in the sinner’s ears,

’Tis life, and health, and peace.

4 He breaks the power of cancell’d sin;

He sets the pris’ner free;

His blood can make the foulest clean;

His blood avail’d for me.

5 Look unto Him, ye nations; own

Your God, ye fallen race;

Look and be saved through faith alone;

Be justified by grace.

6 See all your sins on Jesus laid;

The Lamb of God was slain;

His soul was once an off’ring made

For every soul of man.

Hymn 11.

C. M.

How bright these glorious spirits shine.

How bright these glorious spirits shine!

Whence all their white array?

How came they to the blissful seats

Of everlasting day?

2 Lo! these are they, from sufferings great,

Who came to realms of light;

And in the blood of Christ have wash’d

Those robes, which shine so bright.

3 Now, with triumphant palms, they stand

Before the throne on high

And serve the God they love, amidst

The glories of the sky,

4 His presence fills each heart with joy,

Tunes every mouth to sing;

By day, by night, the sacred courts

With glad Hosannas ring.

5 The Lamb, which dwells amidst the throne,

Shall o’er them still preside,

Feed them with nourishment divine,

And all their footsteps guide.

6 In pastures green He’ll lead his flock

Where living streams appear;

And God the Lord from every eye

Shall wipe off every tear.

Lo! he comes with clouds descending.

Lo! he comes with clouds descending,

Once for favor’d sinners slain;

Thousand thousand saints attending

Swell the triumph of his train;

Hallelujah!

God appears on earth to reign.

2 Every eye shall now behold him,

Robed in dreadful majesty;

Those who set at nought and sold him,

Pierced and nailed him to the tree,

Deeply wailing,

Shall the true Messiah see.

3 Now redemption, long expected,

See in solemn pomp appear;

All his saints, by men rejected,

Now shall meet him in the air;

Hallelujah!

See the day of God appear.

4 Yea, Amen; let all adore thee,

High on thine eternal throne;

Saviour, take the power and glory;

Claim the kingdom for thine own.

O come quickly,

Everlasting God, come down.

Rock of Ages, cleft for me.

Rock of ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in thee!

Let the water and the blood,

From thy riven side which flow’d,

Be of sin the double cure,

Cleanse me from its guilt and power.

2 Not the labours of my hands,

Can fulfil thy law’s demands;

Could my zeal no respite know,

Could my tears for ever flow;

All for sin could not atone,

Thou must save, and thou alone.

3 Nothing in my hand I bring,

Simply to thy cross I cling;

Naked, come to thee for dress;

Helpless, look to thee for grace;

Foul, I to the fountain fly;

Wash me, Saviour, or I die!

4 While I draw this fleeting breath,

When my eyelids close in death,

When I soar to worlds unknown,

See thee on thy judgment throne,

Rock of ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in thee!

Hymn 14.

C. M.

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds.

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

In a believer’s ear;

It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,

And drives away his fear.

2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,

And calms the troubled breast;

’Tis manna to the hungry soul,

And to the weary, rest.

3 Dear name, the rock on which I build,

My shield and hiding-place;

My never-failing treasury, fill’d

With boundless stores of grace.

4 Jesu, my Shepherd, Husband, Friend,

My Prophet, Priest and King,

My Lord, my life, my way, my end,—

Accept the praise I bring.

5 Weak is the effort of my heart,

And cold my warmest thought;

But, when I see thee as thou art,

I’ll praise thee as I ought.

6 Till then I would thy love proclaim

With every fleeting breath;

And may the music of thy name

Refresh my soul in death.

Hark! My soul it is the Lord.

Hark! my soul, it is the Lord;

’Tis thy Saviour; hear his word;

Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee:

“Say, poor sinner, lov’st thou me?“

2 I deliver’d thee when bound,

And when bleeding, heal’d thy wound;

Sought thee wandering, set thee right,

Turned thy darkness into light.

3 Can a woman’s tender care

Cease towards the child she bare?

Yes, she may forgetful be,

Yet will I remember thee.

4 Mine is an unchanging love,

Higher than the heights above,

Deeper than the depths beneath,

Free and faithful, strong as death.

5 Thou shalt see my glory soon,

When the work of grace is done:

Partner of my throne shalt be,

“Say, poor sinner, lov’st thou me?”

6 Lord, it is my chief complaint

That my love is cold and faint:

Yet I love thee, and adore;

O for grace to love thee more.

Hark! The glad sound, the Saviour comes.

Hark! the glad sound, the Saviour comes,

The Saviour promised long;

Let every heart prepare a throne,

And every voice a song.

2 Our glad Hosannas, Prince of Peace,

Thy welcome shall proclaim;

And heaven’s eternal arches ring

With thy beloved name.

3 He comes the prisoners to release,

In Satan’s bondage held;

The gates of brass before him burst,

The iron fetters yield.

4 He comes from thickest films of vice

To clear the mental ray,

And on the eye balls of the blind

To pour celestial day.

5 He comes the broken heart to bind,

The bleeding soul to cure;

And with the treasures of his grace

To enrich the humble poor.

6 Our glad Hosannas, Prince of Peace,

Thy welcome shall proclaim;

And heaven’s eternal arches ring

With thy beloved name.

Am I a soldier of the cross.

Am I a soldier of the cross,

A follower of the Lamb?

And shall I fear to own his cause,

Or blush to speak his name?

2 Must I be carried to the skies

On flowery beds of ease;

While others fought to win the prize,

And sail’d through bloody seas?

3 Are there no foes for me to face?

Must I not stem the flood?

Is this vile world a friend to grace,

To help me on to God?

4 Sure, I must fight, if I would reign;

Increase my courage, Lord;

I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain,

Supported by thy word.

5 Thy saints in all this glorious war

Shall conquer, though they die;

They see the triumph from afar,

By faith they bring it nigh.

6 When that illustrious day shall rise,

And all thine armies shine

In robes of victory through the skies,

The glory shall be thine.

With angels round the throne;

Ten thousand thousand are their tongues,

But all their joys are one.

“To be exalted thus;”

“Worthy the Lamb,” our lips reply,

For he was slain for us.

3 Jesus is worthy to receive

Honor and power divine;

And blessings more than we can give,

Be, Lord, for ever thine.

4 Let all that dwell above the sky,

And air, and earth, and seas,

Conspire to lift thy glories high,

And speak thine endless praise!

To bless the sacred name

Of him who sits upon the throne,

Call for songs of loudest praise.

Sung by flaming tongues above;

Praise the mount—I’m fix’d upon it:

Mount of thy redeeming love!

3 Here I raise mine Ebenezer,

Hither by thy help I’m come;

And I hope, by thy good pleasure,

Safely to arrive at home.

4 Jesus sought me when a stranger,

Wand’ring from the fold of God;

He, to rescue me from danger,

Interposed his precious blood.

5 O! to grace how great a debtor

Daily I’m constrained to be!

Let thy goodness, like a fetter,

Bind my wand’ring heart to thee:

Prone to leave the God I love—

Seal it for thy courts above!

Oh! may no earth born cloud arise

To hide thee from thy servant’s eyes.

2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep

My wearied eyelids gently steep,

Be my last thought, how sweet to rest

For ever on my Saviour’s breast.

3 Abide with me from morn till eve,

For without thee I cannot live;

Abide with me when night is nigh,

For without thee I dare not die.

4 If some poor wandering child of thine

Has spurned, to-day, the voice divine,

Now, Lord, the gracious work begin;

Let him no more lie down in sin.

5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor

With blessings from thy boundless store;

Be every mourner’s sleep to-night

Like infant slumbers, pure and light.

6 Come near and bless us when we wake,

Ere through the world our way we take,

Till in the ocean of thy love

We lose ourselves in heav’n above.

And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.

What but thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?

Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?

Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness,

Where is death’s sting? where grave, thy victory?

I triumph still, if thou abide with me.

And now I live in him.

Hymn 30.

C. M.

Jerusalem, my happy home.

Jerusalem, my happy home,

Name ever dear to me,

When shall my labours have an end

In joy, and peace, and thee?

2 When shall these eyes thy heavenly walls,

And pearly gates behold,

Thy bulwarks with salvation strong,

And streets of shining gold?

3 There happier bowers than Eden’s bloom,

Nor sin nor sorrow know:

Blest seats! ’mid rude and stormy scenes,

I onward press to you.

4 Why should I shrink from pain and woe,

Or feel at death dismay?

I’ve Canaan’s goodly land in view,

And realms of endless day.

5 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there,

Around my Saviour stand,

And soon my friends in Christ below

Will join the glorious band.

6 Jerusalem, my happy home,

My soul still pants for thee:

Then shall my labours have an end,

When I thy joys shall see.

Hymn 31.

Shall we gather at the river.

Shall we gather at the river

Where bright angel feet have trod;

With its crystal tide for ever

Flowing by the throne of God?

Cho.—Yes, we’ll gather at the river,

The beautiful, the beautiful river—

Gather with the saints at the river,

That flows by the throne of God.

2 On the margin of the river,

Washing up its golden spray,

We will walk and worship ever

All the happy, golden day.

3 Ere we reach the shining river,

Lay we every burden down;

Grace our spirits will deliver

And provide a robe and crown.

4 At the smiling of the river,

Mirror of the Saviour’s face,

Saints whom death will never sever,

Lift their songs of saving grace.

5 Soon we’ll reach the shining river,

Soon our pilgrimage will cease;

Soon our happy hearts will quiver

With the melody of peace.

Hymn 32.

There’s a land that is fairer than day.

There’s a land that is fairer than day,

And by faith we can see it afar,

For the father waits over the way,

To prepare us a dwelling place there.

Chorus:

In the sweet bye and bye,

We shall meet on that beautiful shore;

In the sweet bye and bye,

We shall meet on that beautiful shore.

2 We shall sing on that beautiful shore,

The melodious songs of the blest,

And our spirits shall sorrow no more,

Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.

3 To our bountiful Father above,

We will offer our tribute of praise,

For the glorious gift of his love,

And the blessings that hallow our days.

4 We shall meet, we shall sing, we shall reign,

In the land where the saved never die;

We shall rest free from sorrow and pain,

Safe at home in the sweet bye and bye.

My faith looks up to thee,

Thou Lamb of Calvary,

Saviour divine;

Now hear me while I pray,

Take all my guilt away,

O let me from this day

Be wholly thine.

2 May thy rich grace impart

Strength to my fainting heart,

My zeal inspire:

As thou hast died for me,

O may my love to thee

Pure, warm, and changeless be,

A living fire.

3 While life’s dark maze I tread,

And griefs around me spread,

Be thou my guide;

Bid darkness turn to day,

Wipe sorrow’s tears away,

Nor let me ever stray

From thee aside.

4 When ends life’s transient dream,

When death’s cold sullen stream

Shall o’er me roll;

Blest Saviour, then in love

Fear and distrust remove;

O bear me safe above,

A ransom’d soul.

Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer to thee!

E’en though it be a cross

That raiseth me;

Still all my song shall be,

Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer to Thee!

2 Though like a wanderer,

The sun gone down,

Darkness come over me,

My rest a stone;

Yet in my dreams I’d be

Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer to Thee!

3 There let my way appear

Steps unto heav’n;

All that thou sendest me

In mercy giv’n;

Angels to beckon me

Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer to Thee.

4 Then with my waking thoughts

Bright with thy praise,

Out of my stony griefs

Bethels I’ll raise;

So by my woes to be

Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer to Thee!

5 And when on joyful wing

Cleaving the sky,

Sun, moon, and stars forgot,

Upwards I fly,

Still all my song shall be,

Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer to Thee.
