THOMAS HASTINGS. ORTONVILLE. C. M. 8 1. Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Upon the Saviour's brow; His head with radiant 2. No mortal can with Him compare, Who fill the heavenly train. 3. He saw me plunged in deep distress, And flew to my relief; For me He bore the shameful cross, 4. To Him I owe my life and breath, 5. To heaven, the place of His abode, 6. Since from His bounty I receive 605. C. M. S. STENNETT. 1. JESUS! I love Thy charming name, Fain would I sound it out so loud, 2. Yes! Thou art precious to my soul, 3. All my capacious powers can wish, 4. Thy grace still dwells upon my heart, 5. I'll speak the honors of Thy name, 606. C. M. DODDRIDGE. 1. To Thee, my Shepherd, and my Lord, A grateful song I'll raise; O let the humblest of Thy flock 2. My life, my joy, my hope, I owe Ten thousand thousand comforts here, 3. To Thee my trembling spirit flies, 4. Lead on, dear Shepherd!-led by Thee, No evil shall I fear; Soon shall I reach Thy fold above, And praise Thee better there. HIGGINBOTHAM. 607. C. M. 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. 2. It makes the wounded spirit whole, 3. By Thee, my prayers acceptance gain, Although with sin defiled; Satan accuses me in vain, And I am owned a child. 4. Jesus! my Shepherd, Guardian, Friend, 5. Weak is the effort of my heart, And cold my warmest thought; 6. Till then, I would Thy love proclaim, 608. C. M. NEWTON. 1. GRACE, like an uncorrupted seed, Immortal principles forbid 2. Not by the terrors of a slave Do they perform His will, But, with the noblest powers they have, 3. They find access at every hour, To God within the vail; Hence they derive a quickening power, 4. O happy souls! O glorious state To dwell so near their Father's seat, 5. Lord, I address Thy heavenly throne, 6. There shed Thy choicest love abroad, WATTS. 1. LET every mortal ear attend, 2. Ho! all ye hungry, starving souls, 3. Eternal wisdom has prepared And bids your longing appetites 4. Ho! ye that pant for living streams, Here you may quench your raging thirst 5. Rivers of love and mercy, here, Like floods of milk and wine. 611. S. M. 2. O watch, and fight, and pray; The battle ne'er give o'er; Renew it boldly every day, And help divine implore. 3. Ne'er think the victory won, Nor lay thine armor down; Thy arduous work will not be done, Till thou obtain thy crown. 4. Fight on, my soul, till death Shall bring thee to thy God; He'll take thee, at thy parting breath, To His divine abode. 612. S. M. 1. SOLDIERS of Christ, arise, And gird your armor on, НЕАТН. Strong in the strength which God supplies Through his eternal Son. 2. Strong in the Lord of hosts, And in His mighty power, Who in the strength of Jesus trusts 3. Leave no unguarded place, 4. But above all lay hold On faith's victorious shield; Armed with that adamant and gold, Be sure to win the field. 5. Stand, then, in His great might, With all His strength endued, And take, to arm you for the fight, 6. That, having all things done, And all your conflicts past, You may o'ercome through Christ alone, And stand complete at last. 7. From strength to strength go on; Wrestle, and fight, and pray; Tread all the powers of darkness down, And win the well-fought day. 8. Still let the Spirit cry, In all his soldiers, "Come," Till Christ the Lord descends from high, And takes the conquerors home. 613. S. M. C. WESLEY. 1. SOLDIERS of Christ! arise! 2. The angel host appears. To welcome you to bliss; Oh! what is earth, its sighs and tears, Its joys, compared to this! 3. Crush'd is the haughty foe, His might, his glory gone; But ye, with victory crown'd, shall go 4. There shall the conqueror rest, LYRA CATH. 3. But flowers of paradise In rich profusion spring; The Sun of glory gilds the path, 4. See Salem's golden spires In beauteous prospect rise; And brighter crowns than mortals wear Which sparkle through the skies. 5. All honor to His name, Who marks the shining way; To Him, who leads the wanderer on To realms of endless day. 617. S. M. 1. REJOICE in God alway; DODDRIDGE. When earth looks heavenly bright, When joy makes glad the livelong day, And peace shuts in the night. 2. Rejoice when care and woe The fainting soul oppress; When tears at wakeful midnight flow, 3. Rejoice in hope and fear; Rejoice in life and death; Rejoice when threatening storms are near, And comfort languisheth. 4. When should not they rejoice, Whom Christ His brethren calls; Who hear and know His guiding voice, When on their hearts it falls? 5. So, though our path is steep, 618. S. M. 1. JESUS' tremendous name 2. By all Hell's host withstood, 3. Our Captain leads us on; He beckons from the skies, And reaches out a starry crown, And bids us take the prize; 4. "Be faithful unto death; Partake My victory; And thou shalt wear this glorious wreath, And thou shalt reign with Me." DOXOLOGY. S. M. Blest Trinity! vouchsafe C. WESLEY. That, to Thy guidance true, What Thou forbiddest, we may shun; What Thou commandest, do. |
