 INTRODUCTORY NOTE. 
 
 This little volume has been arranged to 
 meet the demand for a cheap pocket hymn 
 book that might be used in the social services 
 of the Church. The effort of the compiler 
 has been to collate many of those old familiar 
 hymns which by long and successful trial 
 have earned for themselves a place in any 
 book of song, and to associate with these 
 some of the best of our popular choruses. 
 
 To make the collection available for army 
 circulation we have incorporated a few 
 patriotic songs. 
 
 May we not hope that this little hymn 
 book will find a welcome in the homes and 
 hearts of Methodists and other Christians 
 everywhere ?

 PRAISE. 
 
 1 C. M. 
 
 Invitation to praise the Redeemer. 
 
 OFOR a thousand tongues, to sing 
 My great Eedeemer'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 honors of thy name. 
 8 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. 
 
6 PEAISE. 
 
 2 CM. 
 
 Crown Him Lord of all. 
 
 ALL hail the power of Jesus' naml^ 
 _ Let angels prostrate fall ; 
 Bring forth the royal diadem. 
 And crown him Lord of all. 
 
 2 Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget 
 The wormwood and the gall ; 
 
 Go. spread your trophies at his feet, 
 And crown him Lord of all. 
 
 3 Let every kindred, every tribe, 
 On this terrestrial hall, 
 
 To him all majesty ascribe, 
 And crown him Lord of all. 
 
 4 that with yonder sacred throne 
 "We at his feet may fall ; 
 
 We'll join the everlasting song, 
 And crown him Lord of all. 
 
 3 L. M. 
 
 The Creation invited to praise God. 
 
 FROM all that dwell below the skies, 
 Let the Creator's praise arise ; 
 Let the Eedeemer's name be sung 
 Through every land, by every tongue. 
 
 2 Eternal are thy mercies, Lord ; 
 Eternal truth attends thy word : 
 
 Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore, 
 Till suns shall rise and set no more. 
 
 3 Your lofty themes, ye mortals, bring; 
 In songs of praise divinely sing ; 
 
 The great Salvation loud proclaim, 
 And shout for joy the Saviour's name. 
 
m 
 
 PKAISE. 7 
 
 4 In every land begin the song ; 
 To every land the strains belong : 
 In cheerful sounds all voices raise, 
 And fill the world with loudest praise. 
 
 4 S. IVI. 
 
 Meeting, after absence. 
 
 AND are we yet alive, 
 And see each other's face? 
 Glory and praise to Jesus give, 
 
 For his redeeming grace. 
 Preserved by power divine 
 
 To full salvation here, 
 Again in Jesus' praise we join, 
 And in his sight appear. 
 
 2 What troubles have we seen I 
 "What conflicts have we pass'd ! 
 
 Fightings without, and fears within, 
 
 Since we assembled last ! 
 But out of all the Lord 
 
 Hath brought us by his love ; 
 And still he doth his help afford, 
 
 And hides our life above. 
 
 3 Then let us make our boast 
 Of his redeeming power, 
 
 "Which saves us to the uttermost, 
 
 Till we can sin no more : 
 Let us take up the cross, 
 
 Till we the crown obtain ; 
 And gladly reckon all things loss, 
 
 So we may Jesus gain. 
 
PRAISE. 
 
 5 L. M. 
 
 Tribute of praise to the Saviour. ^^ 
 
 JESUS, thou everlasting King, 
 Accept the tribute which we bring ; 
 Accept thy well-deserved renown, 
 And wear our praises as thy crown. 
 
 2 Let every act of worship be 
 Like our espousals, Lord, to thee: 
 Like the blest hour, when from above 
 We first received the pledge of love. 
 
 3 The gladness of that happy day, 
 may It ever, ever stay : 
 
 Nor let our faith forsake its hold, 
 Nor hope decline, nor love grow cold. 
 
 4 Let every moment, as it flies, 
 Increase thy praise, improve our joys, 
 Till we are raised to sing thy name 
 At the great supper of the Lamb. 
 
 6 C. M. 
 
 Invitation to worship. 
 
 COME, let us join our cheerful songs 
 With angels round the throne : 
 Ten thousand thousand are their tongues, 
 
 But all their joys are one. 
 2 Worthy the Lamb that died, they cry, 
 
 To be exalted thus : 
 Worthy the Lamb, our hearts reply, 
 
 For he was slain for us. 
 8 Jesus is worthy to receive 
 
 Honor and power divine ; 
 And blessings more than we can give, 
 
 Be, Lord, forever thine. 
 
PRAISE. 
 
 4 The whole creation join in one, 
 To bless the sacred name 
 
 Of Him that sits upon the throne, 
 And to adore the Lamb. 
 
 7 87, 87, 87, 87. 
 
 Hitherto hath the Lord helped us. 
 
 COME, thou Fount of every blessing, 
 Tune my heart to sing thy grace ; 
 Streams of mercy, never ceasing, 
 Call for songs of loudest praise. 
 Teach me some melodious sonnet, 
 Sung by flaming tongues above : 
 Praise the mount — I'm fix'd upon it ; 
 Mount of thy redeeming love ! 
 
 2 Here I'll raise mine Ebenezer ; 
 Hither by thy help I'm come ; 
 
 And I hope, by thy good pleasure, ■ 
 
 Safely to arrive at home. 
 Jesus sought me when a stranger, 
 
 Wand'rmg from the fold of God : 
 He, to rescue me -from danger, 
 
 Interposed his precious blood. 
 
 3 O ! to grace how great a debtor 
 Daily I'm constrain'd to be ! 
 
 Let thy goodness, like a fetter, 
 Bind my wand'ring heart to thee : 
 
 Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it — 
 Prone to leave the God I love ; 
 
 Here's my heart, take and seal it — 
 Seal it for thy courts above. 
 
10 PRAYER. 
 
 8 L. M. 
 
 Grateful adoration. 
 
 "OEFORE Jehovah's awful throne, 
 
 J) Ye nations bow with sacred joy ; 
 
 Know that the Lord is God alone, — 
 
 He can create, and he destroy. 
 
 2 His sov'reign power, without our aid, 
 Made us of clay, and form'd us men ; 
 
 And when like wand'ring sheep we stray'd, 
 He brought us to his iold again. 
 
 3 "We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs, 
 High as the heavens our voices raise ; 
 
 And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,' 
 Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. 
 
 4 "Wide as the world is thy command ; 
 Vast as eternity thy love ; 
 
 Firm as a rock thy truth shall stand, 
 "When rolling years shall cease to move. 
 
 PRAYER. 
 9 L. M. 
 
 The mercy -seat. 
 
 FROM every stormy wind that blows, 
 From every swelling tide of woes, 
 There is a calm, a sure retreat : 
 'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat. 
 
PRAYER. 11 
 
 2 There is a place where Jesus sheds 
 The oil of gladness on our heads ; 
 
 A place than all besides more sweet, — 
 It is the blood-bought mercy-seat. 
 
 3 Ah ! whither could we flee for aid, 
 When tempted, desolate, dismay'd? 
 Or how the hosts of hell defeat, 
 Had suff'ring saints no mercy-seat? 
 
 4 There, there on eagles' wings we soar, 
 And sin and sense molest no more ; 
 
 And Heaven comes down our souls to greet, 
 While glory crowns the mercy-seat. 
 
 10 4 lines 7s, 
 
 For a general blessing. 
 
 LORD, we come before thee now, 
 At thy feet we humbly bow : 
 0, do not our suit disdain ; 
 Shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain? 
 
 2 Lord, on thee our souls depend ; 
 In compassion now descend ; 
 
 Fill our hearts with thy rich grace, 
 Tune our lips to sing thy praise. 
 
 3 Comfort those who weep and mourn ; 
 Let the time of joy return ; 
 
 Those that are cast down lift up ; 
 Make them strong in faith and hope. 
 
 4 Grant that all may seek and find 
 Thee, a gracious God and kind: 
 Heal the sick, the captive free ; 
 Let«s all rejoice in thee. 
 
12 PRAYER. 
 
 11 
 
 S. M. 
 
 The hearer of prayer. 
 
 YE praying souls, rejoice, 
 And bless your Father's Name ; 
 "With joy to hini lift up your voice, 
 And all his love proclaim. 
 
 2 Your mournful cry he hears ; 
 He marks your feeblest groan, 
 
 Supplies your wants, dispels your fears, 
 And makes bis mercy known. 
 
 3 To all his praying saints 
 lie ever will attend, 
 
 And to their sorrows and complaints 
 His ear in mercy bend. 
 
 4 Then let us still go on 
 In his appointed ways, 
 
 Rejoicing in his Name alone, 
 In prayer and humble praise. 
 
 12 CM. 
 
 For quickening power. 
 
 COME, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, 
 With all thy quick'ning powers ; 
 Kindle a flame of sacred love 
 In these cold hearts of ours. 
 
 2 Look how we grovel here below, 
 Fond of these earthly toys ; 
 
 Our souls, how heavily they go 
 To reach eternal joys. 
 
 3 Father, and sball we ever live 
 At this poor dying rate ; 
 
 Our love so faint, so cold to thee. 
 And thine to us so great ? 
 
PEAYEE. 13 
 
 4 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, 
 With all thy quick'ning powers ; 
 
 Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love, 
 And that shall kindle ours. 
 
 13 C. M. 
 
 What is prayer P 
 
 PEAYEE is the soul's sincere desire, 
 Utter' d or unexpress'd; 
 The motion of a hidden fire 
 That trembles in the breast. 
 
 2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh, — 
 
 The falling of a tear, — 
 The upward glancing of an eye, 
 
 When none but God is near. 
 
 8 Prayer is the simplest form of speech 
 
 That infant lips can try ; 
 Prayer, the sublimest strains that reach 
 
 The Majesty on high. 
 
 4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, 
 
 The Christian's native air; 
 His watchword at the gates of death, — 
 
 He enters heaven with prayer. 
 
 5" Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, 
 
 Eeturning from his ways ; 
 While angels, in their songs, rejoice, 
 
 And cry, — Behold, he prays ! 
 
 6 O Thou, by whom we come to God, — 
 The Life, the Truth, the Way,— 
 
 The path of prayer thyself hast trod : — 
 Lord, teach us how to pray ! 
 
14 PRAYER. 
 
 14 4 lines 7s. 
 
 Encouragements to pray. 
 
 COME, my soul, thy suit prepare ; 
 Jesus loves to answer prayer ; 
 He himself invites thee near. — 
 Bids thee ask him, waits to hear. 
 
 2 Lord, I come to thee for rest ; 
 Take possession of my breast ; 
 There, thy blood-bought right maintain, 
 And without a rival reign. 
 
 3 While I am a pilgrim here, 
 Let thy love my spirit cheer ; 
 As my guide, my guard, my friend, 
 Lead me to my journey's end. 
 
 4 Show me what I have to do; 
 Every hour my strength renew ; 
 Let me live a life of faith, — 
 Let me die thy people's death. 
 
 15 s. M. 
 
 Claiming the promise. 
 
 JESUS, we look to thee, 
 Thv promised presence claim ; 
 Thou in the midst of us shalt be, 
 Assembled in thy name : 
 
 2 Thy name salvation is, 
 Which here we come to prove : 
 
 Thy name is life, and health, and peace, 
 And everlasting love. 
 
 3 Present we know thou art, 
 But 0, thyself reveal ! 
 
 Now, Lord, let every bounding heart 
 The mighty comfort feel. 
 

 
 PRAYER. 15 
 
 4 may thy quick'ning voice 
 The death of sin remove ; 
 
 And hid our inmost souls rejoice, 
 In hope of perfect love. 
 
 16 s. M. 
 
 For a revival. 
 
 LOED, thy work revive, 
 In Zion's gloomy hour, 
 And let our dying graces live 
 By thy restoring power. 
 
 2 let thy chosen few 
 Awake to earnest prayer ; 
 
 Their covenant again renew, 
 And walk in filial fear. 
 
 3 Thy Spirit then will speak 
 Through lips of humble clay, 
 
 Till hearts of adamant shall break, — 
 Till rebels shall obey. 
 
 4 Now lend thy gracious ear ; 
 Now listen to our cry ; 
 
 come, and bring salvation near ; 
 Our souls on thee rely. 
 
 17 L. M. 
 
 Sweet hour of prayer. 
 
 SWEET hour of prayer, sweet hour of 
 prayer, 
 That calls me from a world of care, 
 And bids me at my Father's throne 
 Make all my wants and wishes known : 
 In seasons of distress and grief 
 My soul has often found relief, 
 And oft escaped the tempter's snare 
 By thy return, sweet hour of prayer. 
 
16 AWAKENING. 
 
 2 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer. 
 
 May I thy consolations share, 
 
 Till from Mount Pisgah's lofty height 
 
 I view my home and take my flight : 
 
 This rohe of flesh I'll drop, and rise 
 
 To seize the everlasting prize, 
 
 And shout, while passing through the air, 
 
 Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer. 
 
 AWAKENING. 
 18 s - M « 
 
 The horrors of the second death. 
 
 WHERE shall rest he found,— 
 Eest for the weary soul ? 
 'Twere vain the ocean's depths to sound, 
 Or pierce to either pole. 
 
 2 The world can never give 
 The bliss for which we sigh ; 
 
 'Tis not the whole of life to" live, 
 Nor all of death to die. 
 
 3 Beyond this vale of tears 
 There is a life above 
 
 Unmeasured by the flight of years ; 
 And all that life is love. 
 
 4 There is a death, whose pang 
 Outlasts the fleeting breath: 
 
 O what eternal horrors hang 
 Around the second death 1 
 
AWAKENING. 17 
 
 5 Thou God of truth and grace ! 
 
 Teach us that death to shun ; 
 Lest we be banish' d from thy face, 
 
 For evermore undone. 
 
 19 C. M. 
 
 The dreadful sentence. 
 
 rpHAT awful day will surely come, 
 X The' appointed hour makes haste, 
 When I must stand before my Judge, 
 And pass the solemn test. 
 
 2 Jesus, thou source of all my joys, 
 Thou ruler of my heart, 
 
 How could I bear to hear thy voice 
 Pronounce the word, — Depart ! 
 
 3 What, to be banish' d from my Lord, 
 And yet forbid to die ; 
 
 To linger in eternal pain, 
 And death forever fly ! — 
 
 4 wretched state of deep despair, 
 To see my God remove, 
 
 And fix my doleful station where 
 
 I must not taste his love. 
 
 The judgment day is rolling on, 
 
 The judgment day is rolling on, 
 
 The judgment day is rolling on, 
 
 Prepare to meet thy God. 
 
 20 4 lines 7s. 
 
 The danger of delay. 
 
 HASTEN, sinner, to be wise ! 
 Stay not for the morrow's sun : 
 Wisdom if you still despise, 
 Harder is it to be won, 
 2 
 
18 AWAKENING. 
 
 2 Hasten, mercy to implore ! 
 Stay not for the morrow's sun, 
 
 Lest thv season should be o'er 
 Ere this evening's stage be run. 
 
 3 Hasten, sinner, to return! 
 Stay not for the morrow's sun, 
 
 Lest thy lamp should fail to burn 
 Ere salvation's work is done. 
 
 4 Hasten, sinner, to be blest ! 
 Stay not for the morrow's sun, 
 
 Lest perdition thee arrest 
 Ere the morrow is begun. 
 
 21 886,886. 
 
 The momentous question. 
 
 AND am I only born to die? 
 And must I suddenly comply 
 With nature's stern decree? 
 What after death for me remains? 
 Celestial joys, or hellish pains, 
 To all eternity. 
 
 2 How then ought I on earth to live, 
 While God prolongs the kind reprieve, 
 
 And props the house of clay ? 
 My sole concern, my single care, 
 To watch, and tremble, and prepare 
 
 Against that fatal day. 
 
 3 Nothing is worth a thought beneath, 
 But how I may escape the death 
 
 That never, never dies ! 
 How make mine own election sure ; 
 And when I fail on earth, secure 
 
 A mansion in the skies. 
 
INVITATION. 19 
 
 4 Jesus, vouchsafe a pitying ray ; 
 Be thou my Guide, be thou my Way 
 
 To glorious happiness. 
 Ah ! write the pardon on my heart ; 
 And whensoe'er I hence depart, 
 
 Let me depart in peace. 
 
 INVITATION. 
 
 22 87, 87, 47. 
 
 The invitation. 
 
 COME, ye sinners, poor and needy, 
 Weak and wounded, sick and sore ; 
 Jesus ready stands to save you, 
 Full of pity, love, and power : 
 
 He is able, 
 He is willing : doubt no more. 
 
 2 Let not conscience make you linger ; 
 
 Nor of fitness fondly dream : 
 All the fitness he requireth 
 
 Is to feel your need of him : 
 This he gives you,— 
 
 'Tis the Spirit's glimm'ring beam. 
 
 8 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden, 
 Bruised and mangled by the fall ; 
 
 If you tarry till you're better, 
 You will never come at all ; 
 
 Not the righteous, — 
 Sinners Jesus came to call. 
 
20 INVITATION. 
 
 4 Agonizing in the garden, 
 Your Redeemer prostrate lies ; 
 
 On the bloody tree behold him ! 
 Hear him cry, before he dies, 
 It is finished ! — 
 
 Sinners, will not this suffice? 
 
 23 
 
 The gospel feast. 
 
 COME, sinners, to the gospel feast ; 
 Let every soul be Jesus' guest : 
 Ye need not one be left behind, 
 For God hath bidden all mankind. 
 
 2 Sent by my Lord, on you I call ; 
 The invitation is to all :— 
 
 Come all the world ! come, sinner, thou ! 
 All things in Christ are ready now. 
 
 3 Come, all ye souls by sin oppress'd, 
 Ye restless wand'rers after rest ; 
 
 Ye poor, and maim'd, and halt, and blind, 
 In Christ a hearty welcome find. 
 
 4 See him set forth before your eyes, 
 That precious, bleeding sacrifice : 
 His oner'd benefits embrace, 
 
 And freely now be saved by grace. 
 
 24 8s, 3s. 
 
 Wm you go? 
 Y\7E'RE trav'ling home to heaven above : 
 '> Will you go? 
 
 To sing the Saviour's dving love : 
 Will von go? 
 Millions have reached that blest abode, 
 Anointed kings and priests to God, 
 And millions more are on the road : 
 "Will you go? 
 
INVITATION. 21 
 
 2 We're going to walk the plains of light : 
 
 Will you go ? 
 Far, lar from death and curse and night : 
 
 Will you go ? 
 The crown of life we then shall wear, 
 The conqueror's palm we then shall bear, 
 And all the joys of heaven we'll share : 
 
 Will you go? 
 
 3 The way to heaven is straight and plain : 
 
 Will you go ? 
 Eepent, believe, be born again ! 
 
 Will you go? 
 The Saviour cries aloud to thee, 
 " Take up thy cross and follow me, 
 And thou shalt my salvation see :" 
 
 Will you go ? 
 
 4 ! could I hear some sinner say, 
 
 I will go ! 
 I'll start this moment, clear the way ; 
 
 Let me go. 
 My old companions, fare you well, 
 I will not go with you to hell, 
 I mean with Jesus Christ to dwell. 
 
 Let me go. 
 
 25 ™ , + . C. M. 
 
 The resolution. 
 
 COME, humble sinner, in whose breast 
 A thousand thoughts revolve ; 
 Come, with your guilt and fear oppress'd, 
 
 And make this last resolve : — 
 2 I'll go to Jesus, though my sin 
 
 Like mountains round me close ; 
 I know his courts, I'll enter in, 
 Whatever may oppose. 
 
22 INVITATION. 
 
 3 Prostrate I'll lie before his throne, 
 And there my guilt confess ; 
 
 I'll tell him I'm a wretch undone 
 Without his sov'reign grace. 
 
 4 Perhaps he will admit my plea, 
 Perhaps will hear my prayer ; 
 
 But, if I perish, I will pray", 
 And perish only there. 
 
 5 I can hut perish if I go — 
 I am resolved to try ; 
 
 For if I stay away, I know 
 I must forever die. 
 
 26 11,10,11,10. 
 
 Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. 
 
 COME, ye disconsolate, where'er ye lan- 
 guish ; 
 Come to the mercy-seat, ferventlv kneel ; 
 Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell 
 your anguish; — 
 Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot 
 heal. 
 2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying, 
 Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure, — 
 Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly say- 
 ing- 
 Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot 
 cure.

 GEACE ! 'tis a charming sound, 
 Harmonious to the ear ; 
 Heaven with the echo shall resound, 
 And all the earth shall hear. 
 
INVITATION. 23 
 
 2 Grace taught my roving feet 
 To tread the heavenly road ; 
 
 And new supplies each hour I meet 
 "While pressing on to God. 
 
 3 Grace all the work shall crown, 
 Through everlasting days ; 
 
 It lays in heaven the topmost stone, 
 And well deserves our praise. 
 
 CHORUS. 
 
 I'm glad salvation's free ; 
 I'm glad salvation's free; 
 Salvation's free for you and me ; 
 I'm glad salvation's free.

 BLOW ye the trumpet, blow 
 The gladly-solemn sound ; 
 Let all the nations know, 
 To earth's remotest bound, 
 The year of jubilee is come ; 
 Eeturn, ye ransom' d sinners, home. 
 
 2 Jesus, our great High Priest, 
 Hath full atonement made : 
 
 Ye weary spirits, rest; 
 
 Ye mournful souls be glad : 
 The year of jubilee is come ; 
 Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home. 
 
 3 Extol the Lamb of God,— 
 The all-atoning Lamb ; 
 
 Redemption in his blood 
 Throughout the world proclaim : 
 The year of jubilee is come; 
 Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home. 
 
24 INVITATION. 
 
 29 s. m. 
 
 Embracing the all-sufficient portion. 
 
 AND can I yet delay 
 My little all to give? 
 To tear my soul from earth away 
 For Jesus to receive? 
 
 2 Nay, but I yield, I yield; 
 I can hold out no more : 
 
 I sink, by dying love compelled, 
 And own thee conqueror. 
 
 3 Though late, I all forsake ; 
 My friends, my all, resign : 
 
 Gracious Kedeemer, take, take, 
 And seal me ever thine. 
 
 4 Come, and possess me whole, 
 Nor hence again remove ; 
 
 Settle and fix my wav'ring soul 
 With all thy weight of love. 
 
 5 My life, my portion thou ; 
 Thou all-sufficient art : 
 
 My hope, my heavenly treasure, now 
 Enter, and keep my heart. 
 
 30 
 
 Mercy's free. 
 
 BY faith I view my Saviour dying 
 On the tree, on the tree ; 
 To every nation he is crying, 
 
 Look on me, look on me. 
 He bids the guilty now draw near, 
 Eepent, believe, dismiss their fear — 
 Hark ! hark ! what precious words I hear, 
 Mercy's free, mercy's free. 
 
INVITATION. 25 
 
 2 Did Christ, when I was sin pursuing,

 Make slaves the partners of thy throne, 
 Deck'd with a never-fading crown?

 My all to his pleasure resign' d,

 And walking in the good.

 Taking up the Cross. 
 
 JESUS, I my cross have taken, 
 All to leave and follow thee : 
 Naked, poor, despised, forsaken, 
 
 Thou, from hence, my all shalt be. 
 Perish, every fond ambition — 
 
 All I've sought, or hoped, or known: 
 Yet how rich is my condition — 
 
 God and heaven are still my own ! 
 2 Haste thee on from grace to glory, 
 
 Arm'd by faith, and wing'd by prayer ; 
 Heaven's eternal days before thee, 
 
 God's own hand shall guide thee there. 
 Soon shall close thine earthly mission, 
 
 Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days : 
 Hope shall change to glad fruition — 
 
 Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

 Of friends and kindred dear; 
 
 For I brush the dews on Jordan's banks, 
 The crossing must be near.

 My spirit loudly sings • 
 
 The holy ones, behold, they come !

 A HOME in heaven! what a joyful thought 
 As the poor man toils in his weary lot ! 
 His hearty oppressed, and with anguish 
 
 driven, 
 From his home below to his home in heaven. 
 
 2 A home in heaven ! as the suff'rer lies 
 On his bed of pain, and uplifts his eyes 
 To that bright home, what a joy is given, 
 With the blessed thought of his home in 
 
 heaven. 
 
 3 A home in heaven! when our pleasures 
 
 fade, 
 And our wealth and fame in the dust are

 And strength decays 2 and our health is riven,

 Christ in the garden. 
 
 WHILE nature was sinking in stillness to 
 rest, 
 The last beams of daylight shone dim in the 
 
 west; 
 O'er fields by the moonlight, to lonely re- 
 treat, 
 In deep meditation I wander'd to weep. 
 
 2 While passing a garden I paused to hear 
 A voice faint and plaintive from one that 
 was there ; 
 
MISCELLANEOUS. 117 
 
 The voice of the suff'rer affected my heart, 
 While pleading in anguish the poor sinner's 
 part. 
 
 3 80 deep were his soitows, so fervent his 
 
 prayers, 
 That down o'er his bosom roll'd^sweat, 
 
 blood, and tears : 
 I wept to behold him ; I ask' d him his name. 
 He answer'd, u 'Tis Jesus! from heaven I 
 
 came! 
 
 4 "I am thy Kedeemer; for thee I must 
 
 die; 
 The cup is most bitter, but cannot pass by ; 
 Thy sins like a mountain are laid upon me ; 
 And all this deep anguish I suffer for thee," 
 
 5 flow sweet was that moment he bade me 
 
 rejoice ; 
 His smile ? how pleasant ! How cheering 
 
 his voice ! 
 I flew from the garden to spread it abroad, 
 I shouted, Salvation ! and Glory to God ! 
 
 6 The day of bright glory is rolling around, 
 When, Gabriel descending, the trumpet 
 
 shall sound; 
 My soul then in raptures of glory shall rise 
 To gaze on the Stranger with unclouded 
 
 eyes.

 Star of Bethlehem,

 The glitt'ring host bestud the sky, 
 One star alone, of all the train, 
 Can fix the sinner's wand' ring eye. 
 
118 MISCELLANEOUS. 
 
 Hark ! hark ! to God the chorus breaks, 
 From every host, from every gem ; 
 
 But one alone the Saviour speaks, 
 It is the Star of Bethlehem. 
 
 2 Once on the raging seas I rode, 
 
 The -storm was loud, the night was dark, 
 The ocean yawned, and rudely blowed 
 
 The wind that tossed my found'ring bark ; 
 Beep horror then my vitals froze, 
 
 Beath-struck, I ceased the tide to stem ; 
 When suddenly a Star arose — 
 
 It was the Star of Bethlehem. 
 
 3 It was my guide, my light, my all; 
 It bade my dark forebodings cease ; 
 
 And through the storm and danger's thrall, 
 It led me to the port of peace. 
 
 Now safely moor'd, my perils o'er, 
 I'll sing, first in night's diadem, 
 
 Forever and for evermore, 
 The Star, the Star of Bethlehem.

 It tells me where my soul may flee ; 
 0, to the weary, faint, oppress'cl, 
 How sweet the bidding, u Come to me !"

 The heights that bound the promised land.

 I did not love the fold; 
 I did not love my Father's voice,

120 MISCELLANEOUS. 
 
 I was a wayward child, 
 I did not love my home; 
 
 1 did not love my Shepherd's voice, 
 I loved afar to roam. 
 
 2 The Shepherd sought his sheep, 
 The Father sought his child • 
 
 They follow' d me o'er vale and hill, 
 O'er deserts, waste, and wild; 
 
 They found me nigh to death, 
 Famish' d, and faint, and lone ; 
 
 They bound me with the bands of love, 
 They saved the wand'ring one. 
 
 3 Jesus my Shepherd is, 
 'Twas he that loved my soul; 
 
 'T was he that wash'd me in his blood ; 
 
 'Twas he that made me whole; 
 No more a wand'ring sheep,

 I love my tender Shepherd's voice, 
 
 I love the peaceful fold.
