298. 8s, 7s & 4.

1. HAIL, thou happy morn, so glorious!
Come, ye saints, your griefs give o'er;
Sing how Jesus rose victorious,
By His own almighty power:
Hallelujah!

To the glorious Son of God.

2. Countless bands of angels glorious, Cloth'd in bright ethereal blue; Straight the sound of Christ victorious From their silver trumpets flew: Christ triumphant

Rises, Conqueror o'er the tomb.

3. Is that He who died on Calvary,

Who was pierc'd with many a spear?
Clad with countless suns of glory,
See, He rises through the air:
Hallelujah!

Zion's mourner, now rejoice.

4. Tremble, ye who Him rejected,

Lo! He breaks through yonder cloud;
Rise, ye saints, and shout triumphant,
Victory! through Jesus' blood:
Hark! the trumpet

Sounds the resurrection morn.

299. 8s & 7s.

1. HAIL, thou once despised Jesus!
Crowned in mockery a king!
Thou didst suffer to release us;
Thou didst free salvation bring.
Hail, thou agonizing Saviour,

Bearer of our sin and shame!
By Thy merits we find favor;
Life is given through Thy name.

2. Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory,
There for ever to abide;
All the heavenly hosts adore Thee,
Seated at Thy Father's side:
There for sinners Thou art pleading;
There Thou dost our place prepare:
Ever for us interceding,

Till in glory we appear.

3. Worship, honor, power, and blessing
Thou art worthy to receive;
Loudest praises, without ceasing,
Meet it is for us to give.
Help, ye bright angelic spirits;
Bring your sweetest, noblest lays;
Help to sing our Saviour's merits;
Help to chant Immanuel's praise.
BAKEWELL.

CARNELIAN. L. M.

CH. BEECHER.

1. That day of wrath! that dread-ful day, When heaven and earth shall pass a - way!

9

What power shall be the sin-ner's stay? How shall he meet that dreadful day?

302. L. M.

2. When, shrivelling like a parched scroll,
The flaming heavens together roll;
When, louder yet, and yet more dread,
Swells the high trump that wakes the dead;

3. O, on that day, that dreadful day,

When man to judgment wakes from clay,
Be thou, O God, the sinner's stay,
Though heaven and earth shall pass away.

SIR WALTER SCOTT.

303. L. M.

1. GOD of eternity, from Thee

Did infant Time its being draw; Moments, and days, and months, and years, Revolve, by Thine unvaried law.

2. Silent and slow, they glide away;

Steady and strong the current flows,
Lost in eternity's wide sea,-

The boundless gulf from whence it rose.

3. With it the thoughtless sons of men Before the rapid stream are borne On to that everlasting home,

Whence not one soul can e'er return.

4. Great Source of wisdom, teach my heart
To know the price of every hour,
That time may bear me on to joys
Beyond its measure and its power.
DODDRIDGE.

304. L. M.

1. BEHOLD a Stranger at the door!
He gently knocks, has knocked before;
Has waited long-is waiting still;
You treat no other friend so ill.

2. Oh! lovely attitude-He stands

With melting heart, and loaded hands: Oh! matchless kindness-and He shows This matchless kindness to His foes! 3. But will He prove a friend indeed? He will the very Friend you need; The Friend of sinners-yes, 'tis He, With garments dyed on Calvary. 4. Rise, touched with gratitude divine, Turn out His enemy and thine. That soul-destroying monster, sin,And let the heavenly Stranger in. 5. Admit Him, ere His anger burn,His feet, departed, ne'er return; Admit Him,-or the hour 's at hand, You'll at His door rejected stand.

305. L. M.

GREGG.

1. "COME hither, all ye weary souls! Ye heavy-laden sinners! come! I'll give you rest from all your toils,

And raise you to My heavenly home.

2. "They shall find rest who learn of Me,I'm of a meek and lowly mind;

But passion rages like the sea,

And pride is restless as the wind.

3. "Blessed is the man, whose shoulders take My yoke, and bear it with delight; My yoke is easy to his neck,

My grace shall make the burden light. 4. Jesus! we come at Thy command; With faith, and hope, and humble zeal, Resign our spirits to Thy hand,

To mould and guide us at Thy will.

311. L. M.

1. BEHOLD the path that mortals tread
Down to the regions of the dead!
Nor will the fleeting moments stay,
Nor can we measure back our way.

2. Our kindred and our friends are gone;
Know, O my soul, this doom thine own:
Feeble as theirs, my mortal frame,
The same my way, my house the same.

3. And must I, from the cheerful light,
Pass to the grave's perpetual night,-
From scenes of duty, means of grace,
Must I to God's tribunal pass?

4. Awake, my soul, thy way prepare,
And lose, in this, each mortal care;
With steady feet that path be trod,
Which through the grave conducts to God.
WARDLAW'S COLL.

1. Now, in the heat of youthful blood,
Remember your Creator, God;
Behold! the months come hastening on,
When you shall say, "My joys are gone."
