2. Though in a foreign land,
We are not far from home,
And nearer to our house above
We every moment come.

3. His grace will to the end

Stronger and brighter shine,

Nor present things, nor things to come, Shall quench the spark divine.

4. When we in darkness walk,

Nor feel the heavenly flame, Then is the time to trust our God, And rest upon His name.

5. Soon shall our doubts and fears Subside at His control;

His loving-kindness shall break through The midnight of the soul.

6. Blest is the man, O God,

That stays himself on Thee!

Who waits for Thy salvation, Lord,
Shall Thy salvation see.

2. Our guilty spirits dread

To meet the wrath of Heaven; But in His righteousness arrayed, We see our sins forgiven.

630. S. M.

1. My God, my Life, my Love,
To Thee, to Thee I call;
I can not live, if Thou remove,
For Thou art all in all.

2. Thy shining grace can cheer This dungeon where I dwell; 'Tis paradise when Thou art here; If Thou depart, 't is hell.

3. To Thee, and Thee alone,

The angels owe their bliss; They sit around Thy gracious throne, And dwell where Jesus is.

4. Not all the harps above
Can make a heavenly place,
If God His residence remove,
Or but conceal His face.

5. Nor earth, nor all the sky, Can one delight afford, No, not a drop of real joy,

Without Thy presence, Lord.

6. Thou art the sea of love,
Where all my pleasures roll;
The circle where my passions move,
And centre of my soul.

631. S. M. Double.

1. I WANT a heart to pray,-
To pray, and never cease;
Never to murmur at Thy stay,
Or wish my suff'rings less.
This blessing, above all,—
Always to pray-I want;
Out of the deep on Thee to call,
And never, never faint.

2. I want a true regard,

A single, steady aim,

Unmoved by threat'ning or reward, To Thee and Thy great name; A jealous, just concern,

For Thine immortal praise; A pure desire that all may learn And glorify Thy grace.

3. I rest upon Thy word,

The promise is for me; My succor and salvation, Lord, Shall surely come from Thee: But let me still abide,

Nor from my hope remove, Till Thou my patient spirit guide Into Thy perfect love.

2. Sing, till we feel our heart

Ascending with our tongue; Sing, till the love of sin depart;

And grace inspire our song. 3. Sing, on your heavenly way, Ye ransomed sinners, sing; Sing on, rejoicing every day

In Christ, the heavenly King.

4. Soon shall we hear him say,

"Ye blessed children, come!" Soon will He call us hence away To our eternal home.

5. There shall our raptured tongue His endless praise proclaim,

And sweeter voices tune the song Of Moses and the Lamb.

633. S. M.

1. HARK, how the watchmen cry! Attend the trumpet's sound; Stand to your arms, the foe is nigh,The powers of hell surround.

2. Who bow to Christ's command,

Your arms and hearts prepare; The day of battle is at hand,Go forth to glorious war.

3. See on the mountain top

The standard of your God; In Jesus' name 't is lifted up,

All stain'd with hallow'd blood.

4. His standard-bearers, now To all the nations call:

To Jesus' cross, ye nations, bow; He bore the cross for all.

5. Go up with Christ your Head;
Your Captain's footsteps see;
Follow your Captain, and be led
To certain victory.

6. All power to Him is given;
He ever reigns the same:
Salvation, happiness, and heaven,
Are all in Jesus' name.

634. S. M.

1. Nor all the blood of beasts,
On Jewish altars slain,
Could give the guilty conscience peace,
Or wash away the stain.

2. But Christ, the heavenly Lamb,
Takes all our sins away;

A sacrifice of nobler name,

And richer blood than they.

3. My faith would lay her hand On that dear head of Thine, While like a penitent I stand,

And there confess my sin.

4. My soul looks back, to see

The burdens Thou didst bear, When hanging on the cursed tree, And hopes her guilt was there.

5. Believing, we rejoice

To see the curse remove;

We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice,

And sing His bleeding love.
