MY Saviour's praises I will sing, And all His love express ; Whose mercies each returning day, Proclaim His faithfulness. Cho. — Every day will I bless Thee ! Every day will I bless Thee ! - And I will praise, will praise Thy name Forever and ever ! 2 Redeemed by His almighty power, My Saviour and my King ; My confidence in Him I place. To Him my soul would cling. 3 On Thee alone, my Saviour, God, My steadfast hopes depend, And to Thy holy will my soul Submissively would bend. 4 Oh, grant Thy Holy Spirit's grace, And aid my feeble powers. That gladly I may follow Thee Thro' all my future hours. 2. * f~\ NWARD, upward, homeward !' KJ Joyfully I flee From this world of sorrow, With my Lord to be ; Onward to the glory, Unward to the prize, S 4 OOSPEL HYMJSrS, 5 <& 6 COMBINED, Homeward to the mansions Far above the skies. Ref. — Onward to the glory, Upward to the prize. Homeward to the mansions, Far above the skies. 2 " Onward, upward, homeward 1" Here I find no rest. Treading o'er the desert Which my Saviour pressed ; ** Onward, upward, homeward !" I shall soon be there, Soon its joys and pleasures, I, through grace, shall share. 3 '• Onward, upward, homeward !" Come along with me ; Ye who love the Saviour, Bear me company. '* Onward, upward, homeward!" Press with vigor on, Yet a little moment And the race is won. 3. OH, soul toss'd on the billows, afar from friendly land ! Look to Him who holds thee *' in The hol- low of His hand." Cho.— In "The hollow of His hand," In the hollow of His hand, O, how safe are all who trust Him, In "The hollow of His hand." 2 Though the raging winds may drive thee, a wreck upon the strand. Still cling to Him who holds thee in " The hollow of His hand." OOSPEL HYMNS, 5 & 6 COMBINED. 6 3 When strength is spent in toiling, and wearily you stand, Then rest in'^Him who holds thee in " The hollow of His hand." 4 When by the swelling Jordan, your feet in sinking sand, Kemember still He holds thee in " The hollow of His hand." 5 And when at last we're gathered, with all the ransomed band, We'll praise our God who holds us in " The hollow of His hand." 4. PRAISE Him ! praise Him ! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer ! Sing, O earth — His wonderful love pro- claim ! Hail Him ! hail Him ! highest archangels in glory ; Strength and honor give to His holy name! Like a shepherd, Jesus will guard His children, In His arms He carries them all day long ; Praise Him! praise Him! tell of His excel- lent greatness, Praise Him! praise Him! ever in joy- ful song ! 2 Praise Him! praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer ! For our sins He suffered, and bled, and died; He, our rock, our hope of eternal salvation, Hail Him! hail Him! Jesus the crucified. 6 GOSPEL HyjuJS^S, S & 6 COMBINED. Sound His praises ! Jesus, who bore our sorrows, Love unbounded, wonderful, deep, and strong ; Praise Him ! etc. 3 Praise Him ! praise Him! Jesus, our blessed Redeemer ! Heav'nly portals, loud with hosannas ring! Jesus, Saviour, reigneth for ever and ever ; Crown Him ! crown Him ! Prophet, and Priest, and King ! Christ is coming ! over the wor] d victorious, Power and glory unto the Lord belong ; Praise Him ! etc 5. I KNOW not why God's wondrous grace. To me He hath made known, Nor why — unworthy — of such love Redeemed me for'^His own. Chc— But " I know whom I have believed, And am persuaded that He is able To keep that which I've committed unto Him against that day." 2 I know not how this saving faith To me He did impart, Nor how believing in His word Wrought peace within my heart. 3 I know not how the Spirit moves, Convincing men of sin, Revealing Jesus through the Word, Creating faith in Him. 4 I know not what of good or ill May be reserved for me, Of weary ways or golden days, Before His face I see. GOSPEL HYMNS, 5 & 6 COMBINED. 5 I know not when my Lord may come, At night or noonday fair, Nor when IT Avalk the vale with Him, Or " meet Him in the air." 6. BEHOLD a Fountain deep and wide, Behold its onward flow ; 'Twas opened in the Saviour's side, And cleanseth •' white as snow, And cleanseth white as snow." Cho. — Come to this Fountain, 'Tis flowing to-day ; And all who will may freely come, And wash their sins away. 2 From Calvary's cross, where Jesus died In sorrow, pain, and woe, Burst forth the wondrous crimson tide II : That cleanseth " white as snow." :|j 3 Oh ! may we all the healing power Of that bless' d Fountain know ; Trust only in the precious blood II : That cleanseth " white as snow.":l| 4 And when at last the message comes, And we are called to go, Our trust shall still be in the blood II: That cleanseth *' white as snow.":|l C'^OME with thy sins to the fountain, ^ Come with "thy burden of grief ; Bury them deep in its waters. There thou wilt find a relief. Cho. — Haste thee away, why wilt thou stay? Risk not thy soul on a moment's de- lay ; 8 GOSPEL HYMNS, 5 &6 COMBINED. Jesus is waiting to save thee, Mercy is pleading to-day. 2 Come as thou art to the fountain, Jesus is waiting for thee ; What though thy sins are like crimson, White as the snow they shall be. 3 These are the words of the Saviour : They who repent and believe, They who are willing to trust Him, Life at His hands shall receive. 4 Come and be healed at the fountain. List to the peace-speaking voice ; Over a sinner returning Now let the angels rejoice. 8. O CHILD of God, wait patiently When dark thy path may be, And let thy faith lean trustingly On Him who cares for thee ; And though the clouds hang drearily Upon the brow of night, Yet in the morning joy will come And fill thy soul with light. 2 O child of God, He loveth thee, And thou art all His own ; With gentle hand He leadeth thee, Thou dost not walk alone ; And though thou watfchest wearily The long and stormy night, Yet in the morning joy will come And fill thy soul with light. 3 O child of God, how peacefully He calms thy fears to rest, And draws thee upward tenderly Where dAveli the pure and blest ; 008PEL HYMNS, 5 Fall down before his face ; Unworthy to be called his son, I'll seek a servant's place.'* 4 His father saw him coming back ; He saw, he ran, he smiled, And threw his arms around the neck Of his rebellious child ! 5 " O father ! I have sinned— forgive !" " Enough !" the father said ; " Rejoice, my house ; my son's alive For whom I mourned as dead !" 6 'Tis thus the Lord His love reveals, To call poor sinners home ; More than a father's love He feels, And welcomes all that come. 61. H OW sweet, my Saviour, to repose On Thine almighty power ! 46 GOSPEL HYMNS, 5 & 6 COMBINED. To feel Thy strength upholding me, Through every trying hour ! Cho. — Casting all your care upon Him, Casting all your care upon Him, Casting all your care upon Him, for He careth, He careth for you. 2 It is Tliy will that I should cast My every care on Thee ; To Thee refer each rising grief, Each new perplexity ; 3 That I should trust Thy loving care And look to Thee alone, To calm each troubled thought to rest, In prayer before Thy throne. 4 Why should my heart then be distrest By dread of future ill ? Or why should unbelieving fear My trembling spirit till ? 02.' IN the harvest field there is work to do, For the grain is ripe, and the reapers few, And the Master's voice bids the workers true Heed the call that He gives to-day. Cho. — Labor on ! labo'- on ! Keep the bright reward in view ; For the Ma^iter has said, He will strength renew ; Labor on till the close of day 2 Crowd the garner well with its sheaves all bright. Let the song be glad, and the heart be light ; GOSPEL HYMNS, 5 <& 6 COMBINED. 47 Fill the precious hours, ere the shades of night Take the place of the golden day. 3 In the gleaner's path may be rich reward, Though the time seems long and the labor hard, For the Master's joy with His chosen shared, Drives the gloom from the darkest day. 4 Lo ! the Harvest Home, in the realms above Shall be gained by each who has toiled and strove, When the Master's voice, in its tones of love, Calls away to eternal day. 63. <0R God so loved !" Oh, wondrous theme ! Oh ! wondrous key to wondrous scheme ! A Saviour sent to sinful men — Glory to God, the Father ! Cho.— Glory to God, the Father I Glory to God, the Father I Glory, elory, Glory to God, the Father I 2 In love God gave, in love Christ came. That man might know the Father' s. name^ And in the Son salvation claim — Glory to God, the Father ! 3 As man He tarried here below, The power and love of God to show ; To help and heal all human woe — Glory to God, the Father J F' 48 GOSPEL. HYMNS, 5 6s 6 COMBINED. 4 Upon the cross His life He gave, His people from their sins to save ; For them descended to the grave — Glory to God, the Father I 5 By God exalted from the dead, He reigns on high, the living head Of every soul for whom He bled — Glory to God, the Father ! 64. O TROUBLED heart ! there is a home, Beyond the reach of toil and care ; A home where changes never come ; Who would not fain be resting there ? Cho.— 1]: Oh ! wait, meekly wait, and murmur not; :|| Oh ! wait, oh ! wait, Oh ! wait, and murmur not. 2 Yet, when bowed down beneath the load By heaven allowed, thine earthly lot ; Look up ! thou' It reach that blest abode Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not. 3 If in thy path some thorns are found. Oh ! think who bore them on His brow ; If grief thy sorrowing heart has found, It reached a holier than thou. 4 Toil on, nor deem, though sore it be. One sigh unheard, one prayer forgot ; The day of rest will dawn for thee ; Wait, meekly wait, and murmur not, 65. SINNP^RS Jesus will receive : Sound this word of grace to all Who the heavenly pathway leave, All who linger, all who fail. GOSPEL. HYMNS, 5 <& 6 COMBINED. 49 Ref.— Sing it o'er and o'er again : Christ receiveth sinful men ; Make the message clear and plain Christ receiveth sinful men. 2 Come, and He will givo you rest ; Trust Him, for His word is plain ; He will take the sinfulest ; Christ receiveth sinful men. 3 Now my heart condemns me not, Pure, before the law I stand ; He who cleansed me from all spot, Satisfied its last demand. 4 Christ receiveth sinful men, Even me with all my sin ; Purged from every spot and stain, Heaven with Him I enter in. 66. THERE'S a Stranger at the door ; Let Him in ! He has been there oft before ; Let Him in ! Let Him in ere He is gone ; Let Him in, the Holy One, Jesus Christ, the Father's Son; Let Him in ! 2 Open now to Him your heart ; Let Him in ! If you wait He will depart ; Let Him in ! Let Him in, He is your Friend ; And your soul He Avill defend, He will keep you to the end ; Let Him in !

WE shall reach the summer land, Some sweet day, by and by ; We shall press the golden strand. Some sweet day, by and by ; Oh, the loved ones watching there. By the tree of life so fair, Till we come their joy to share, Some sweet day, by and by. Ref. — By and by, some sweet day. We shall meet our lov'd ones gone, Some sweet day, by and by. 2 At the crystal river's brink, Some sweet day, by and by. We shall find each broken link, Some sweet day, by and by ; Then the star that, fading here. Left our hearts and homes so drear, v^'e shall see more bright and clear, Some sweet day, by and by. 3 Oh, these parting scenes will end. Some sweet day, by and by ; We shall gather friend with friend, Some sweet day, by and by ; There before our Father's throne.

" Y Jesus, as Thou wilt : Oh, may Thy will be mine ; Into Thy hand of love I would my all resign : Thro' sorrow or thro' joy, Conduct me as Thine own. And help me still to say. My Lord, Thy will be done. 2 My Jesus, as Thou wilt ; i Tho' seen thro' many a tear, Let not my star of hope Grow dim or disappear : Since Thou on earth hast wept, And sorrowed oft alone. If I must weep with Thee, My Lord, Thy will be done. 3 My Jesus, as Thou wilt ; All shall be well for me ; Each changing future scene I gladly trust with Thee : Straight to my home above I travel calmly on, And sing, in life or death, — My Lord, Thy will be done. 108. OH, what will you do with Jesus ? The call comes low and sweet ; As tenderly He bids you Your burdens lay at His feet ; Oh, soul so sad and weary, That sweet voice speaks to Thee ; Then what will you do with Jesus ? Oh, what shall the answer be ? Bef.— Ij: What shall the answer be? [j: What will you do with Jesus ? Oh, what shall the answer be ? 82 GOSPEL HYMNS, 5 & 6 COMBINED. 2 Oh, what will you do with Jesus ? The call comes loud and clear ; The solemn words are sounding In every listening ear ; Immortal life's in the question, - And joy thro' eternity ; Then what will you do with Jesus? Oh, what shall the answer be ? 3 Oh, think of the King of Glory, From heaven to earth come down, His life so pure and holy, His death. His cross. His crown ; Of His divine compassion. His sacrifice for thee ; Then what will you do with Jesus? Oh, what shall the answer be ? 109. LAB'RERS of Christ, arise. And gird you for the toil ; The dew of promise from the skies Already cheers the soil. 2 Go where the sick recline. Where mourning hearts deplore ; And where the sons of sorrow pine, Dispense your hallowed lore. 3 Be faith, which looks above. With prayer, your constant guest, And wrap the Saviour's changeless love A mantle round your breast. 4 So shall you share the wealth That earth may ne'er despoil, And the blest gospel' s saving health Repay your arduous toil. no. GOD calling yet ! shall I not hear ? Earth's pleasures shall I still hold dear? GOSPEL HYMNS, 5 & 6 COMBINED. 83 Shall life's swift passing years all fly, And still my soul in slumber lie ? Cho. — II : Calling, oh, hear Him : || God is calling yet, oh, hear Him calling, calling, II : Calling, oh, hear Him : || God is calling yet, oh, hear Him calling yet. 2 God calling yet ! shall I not rise ? Can I His loving voice despise. And basely His kind care repay ? He calls me still ; can I delay ? 3 God calling yet ! and shall He knock. And I my heart the closer lock ? He still is waiting to receive, And shall I dare His spirit grieve ? 4 God calling yet ! and shall I give No heed, but still in bondage live? I wait, but He does not forsake ; He calls me still; my heart, awake! 5 God calling yet ! I cannot stay ; My heart I yield without delay : Vain world, farewell, from thee T part ; The voice of God has reached my heart. 111. OH cease, my wandering soul, On restless wing to roam ; All this wide world, to either pole, Hath not for thee a home. 2 Behold the ark of God ! Behold the open door ! Oh, haste to gain that dear abode, And rove, my soul, no more. 3 There safe thou shalt abide. There sweet shall be thy rest ; 84 OOSPEL HYMNS, 5 & 6 COMBINED. And every longing satisfied, With full salvation blest. Ah, no ! I all forsake, My all to Thee resign ; Gracious Redeemer, take, oh take And seal me ever Thine. 112. G' OD loved a world of sinners. For them He gave His Son ; And whosoe'er receives Him, He saves them, every one ; He came to bring salvation. To bear our sins away, That we with Him in glory Might live thro' endless day. Cho.— ||: '* How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation ? :|| neglect so great salvation ?" 2 Behold the bleeding Saviour Upon the cruel tree, — The Just condemned, forsaken — He dies for you and me ; The " Son of God " beloved, For us a curse was made ; That we might have redemption, The awful price He paid. 3 God loves the vilest sinner, But hates the smallest sin ; Then who shall see His kingdom? Or who can enter in ? " The precious blood of Jesus " — Let ev'ry creature know — Can make the " chief of sinners " Full whiter than the snow. 4 Return to God, O wand'rer. Thy purchased pardon take; GOSPEL JIYMXS, 5 & 6 COMBiyED. 85 Thy sins He'll not remember, For thy Redeemer's sake ; He'll cast them all behind Him, Or 'neath the deepest sea, And love us ever freely Thro' out Eternity. 113. OOME to Jesus ! come away ! Forsake thy sins,— oh, why delay ? His arms are open night and day ; He waits to welcome thee ! 2 Come to Jesus ! all is free ; Hark ! how He calls, " Come unto Me I cast out none, I'll pardon thee," Oh, thou shalt welcome be ! 3 Come to Jesus ! cling to Him , He'll keep thee free from paths of sin ; Thou shalt at last a victory win, And He will welcome thee ! 4 Come to Jesus ! — Lord, I come ! Weary of sin, no more I'd roam, But with my Saviour be at home ; I know He'll welcome me! 114. AT the feast of Belshazzar and a thou- sand of his lords, While they drank from golden vessels, as the Book of Truth records — In the night, as they revelled in the royal palace hall, They were seized with consternation, — 'twas the Hand upon the wall ! Chc— II: 'Tis the hand of God on the wall ! :|| Shall the record be " Found wanting !" Or shall it be " Found trusting !" While that hand is writing on the wall 7 86 GOSPEL HYMNS, 5 & 6 COMBINED. 2 See the brave captive, Daniel, as he stooi before the throng, And rebuk'd the haughty monarch for hi; mighty deeds of wrong; As he read out the writing— 'twas thedoon of one and all, For the kingdom now was finished— saic the Hand upon the wall ! 3 See the faith, zeal, and courage, that woulc dare to do the right, Which the Spirit gave to Daniel— this th< secret of his might In his home in Judea, or a captive in th( hall, ( He understood the writing of his God upoii the wall ! ^ 4 So our deeds are recorded— there's a Hand that's writing now ; Sinner, give your heart to Jesus— to His royal mandates bow ; For the day is approaching— it must come to one and all. When the sinners' condemnation will be written on the wall ! 115. JERUSALEM ! my happy home 1 Name ever dear to me ! When shall my labors have an end, In joy, and peace, in thee ! 2 Oh, when, thou city of my God, Shall I thy courts ascend, Where congregations ne'er break up, And Sabbaths have no end ? 3 Jerusalem ! my happy home ! My soul still pants for thee ; Then shall my labors have an end, When I thy joy shall see. GOSPEL HYMNSy 5 dl 6 COMBINED. 87 116. THERE'S a royal banner given for dis- play To the soldiers of the King ; As an ensign fair we lift it up to-day, While as ransomed ones we sing. HO. — Marching on ! Marching on ! For Christ count ev'ry thing but loss ; And to crown Him King, toil and sing, 'Neath the banner of the cross. Tho' the foe may rage and gather as the flood, Let the standard be displayed*; And beneath its folds, as soldiers of tho Lord, For the truth be not dismayed ! Over land and sea, wherever man may dwell, Make the glorious tidings known ; Of the crimson banner now the story tell, While the Lord shall claim His own ! When the glory dawns — 'tis dawning very near — It is hast'ning day by day — Then before our King the foe shall disap- pear. And the Cross the world shall sway. 117. I WAS once far away from the Saviour, And as vile as a sinner could be ; And I wonder' d if Christ the Redeemer Could save a poor sinner like me. I wandered on in the darkness, Not a ray of light could I see ; And the tho't filled my heart with sadness, There's no hope for a sinner like me. GOSPEL HYMNS, 5 & 6 COMBINED. 3 And then, in that dark lonely hour, A voice sweetly whispered to me, Saying, Christ the Redeemer has power To save a poor sinner like me. 4 I listened : and lo ! 'twas the Saviour That was speaking so kindly to me ; I cried, " I'm the chief of sinners, Thou canst save a poor sinner like me I" 5 I then fully trusted in Jesus ; And oh, what a joy came to me I My lieart was filled with His praises, For saving a sinner like me. 6 No longer in darkness I'm walking, For the light is noAv shining on me ; And now unto others I'm telling How He saved a poor sinner like me. 7 And when life's journey is over, And I the dear Saviour shall see, I'll praise Him forever and ever, For saving a sinner like me. 118. THERE is a calm beyond life's fitful fever, A deep repose, an everlasting rest ; Where white-robed angels welcome the believer. Among the blest, among the blest. There is a home, where all the soul's deep yearnings, And silent prayers shall be at last fulfilled ; Where strife and sorrow, murm' rings and heart burnings At last are stilled, at last are stilled. 2 There is a Hope, to which the Christian, clinging ; Is lifted high above life's surging wave; GOSPEL HY3INS, 5 A 6 COMBINED. 89 rinds life in death, and fadeless flowers springing From the dark grave, from the dark grave. There is a crown prepared for those who love Him ; The Christian sees it in the distance shine. Like a bright beacon glittering above him, And whispers, *' Mine !" and whispers, "Mine!" \ There is a spotless robe of Christ's own weaving ; Will you not wrap it round your sin- stained soul ? Poor wand' ring child, upon thy past life grieving, Christ makes thee whole ! Christ makes thee whole ! There is a Home, a Harp, a Crown in Heaven ; — Alas ! that any should Thy gift refuse ! — The awful choice of life and death is given — Which wilt thou choose ? which wilt thou choose ? ^19. THERE is a stream, whose gentle flow Supplies the city of our God ; Life, love, and joy, still gliding thro', And wat'ring our divine abode. ;2 That sacred stream. Thy holy Word, Supports our faith, our fears controls r Sweet peace Thy promises afibrd. And give new strength to fainting souls. 90 O08PEL HYMNS, 5 & 6 COMBINED. 3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar ; In sacred peace our souls abide, While ev'ry nation, ev'ry shore, Trembles, and dreads the swelling tide, t20. A GUILTY soul, by Pharisees of old, Was brought accused, alone. But Jesus said, " Let him without a sin, Be first to cast a stone." Cho. — *' There is none righteous, no, not one, All, all have sinned," There is none righteous, for all have sinned, and come short of the glory, the glory of God, II : Come short of the glory,: || of the glory of God. 2 A learned Master, Ruler of the Jews, God's kingdom could not gain, With all the lore and culture of the age. He " must be born again." 3 " Good Master," pray can aught be lacking yet? Thy laws I do obey ; *• Go sell and give, then come and follow me," But sad he turned away. 121. JESUS bids us shine with a clear, pure light. Like a little candle burning in the night ; In the world is darkness ; so we must shine, You in your corner and I in mine. 2 Jesus bids us shine first of all for Him, Well He sees and knows it if our light is dim; GOSPEL HYMNS, 5 & 6 COMBINED. 91 He looks down from heaven, He sees us shine, You in your corner and I in mine. Jesus bids us shine then for all around, Many kinds of darkness in the world are I found ; j Sin and want and sorrow ; so we must I shine, You in your corner and I in mine. 22. WHOEVER receiveth the Crucified One, • Whoever believeth on God's only Son, A free and a perfect salvation shall have : , For He is abundantly able to save. Jho.— My brother, the Master is calling for thee; His grace and His mercy are won- drously free ; His blood as a ransom for sinners He gave, i .And He is abundantly able to save. Whoever receiveth the message of God, And trusts in the power of the soul-cleans- ing blood, • A full and eternal redemption shall have : For He is both able and willing to save. Whoever repents and forsakes ev'ry sin, , And opens his heart for the Lord to come in, ' A present and perfect salvation shall have : ' For Jesus is ready this moment to save. 123. COME, come to Jesus ! He waits to welcome thee, 92 GOSPEL HYMNS, 5 & 6 COMBINED. O wand'rer, eagerly- Come, come to Jesus I 2 Come, come to Jesus ! He waits to ranson thee, O slave ! so willingly, Come, come to Jesus ! 3 Come, come to Jesus ! He waits to lighten thee, O burdened ! trustingly ; Come, come to Jesus! 4 Come, come to Jesus !

He waits to carry thee, O lamb ! so lovingly. Come, come to Jesus I 124. SITTING by the gateway of a palace fair. Once a child of God was left to die ; By the world neglected, wealth would nothing share ; See the change awaiting there on high, Cho. — Carried by the angels to the land of rest, Music sweetly sounding thro' the skies ; Welcomed by the Saviour to the hea- v'nly feast, Gathered with the loved in Paradise. O08PEL HYMNS, 5 d: 6 COMBINED. 93 2 What shall be the ending of this life of care ? Oft the question cometh to us all ; Here upon the pathway hard the burdens bear, And the burning tears of sorrow fall. 3 Follower of Jesus, scanty tho' thy store. Treasures, precious treasures wait on high; Count the trials joyful, soon they'll all be o'er ; Of the change that's coming bye and bye. 4 Upward, then, and onward ! onward for the Lord ; Time and talent all in His employ ; Small may seem the service, sure the great reward ; Here the cross, but there the crown of joy. 125. ^ O CHRISTIAN trav'ller, fear no more The storms which round thee spread ; Nor yet the noontide's sultry beams On thy defenceless head. Cho.— II: " Fear thou not, for I am with thee: Be not dismayed, for I am thy God." :|1 2 Thy Saviour who upon the cross Thy full redemption paid, Will not from thee. His ransomed one, Withhold His promised aid. 3 A safe retreat and hiding place Thy Saviour will provide ; And sorrow cannot fill thy heart, While sheltered at His side. 4 No ; in thy darkest days on earth, When every joy seems flown. 94 GOSPEL HYMNS, 5 <& 6 COMBINED, Believer, thou shalt never. tread The toilsome way alone.* 126. HAVE our hearts grown cold since the days of old? Have we left our soul's " first love "? Neither cold nor hot, God commends us not, Nor our luke-warm ways approve. Cho. — Repent ye, repent ye, repent ye ! 'Tis the call of God to every land ; Repent ye, repent ye, repent ye ! For the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 2 Has the God above our supreme true love ? Have we bowed to Him alway ? Do we own His claim and revere His name, And observe His holy day ? 3 Do we honor those who have soothed our woes? Have we rendered good for ill ? Are we pure in heart, doing all our part To fulfil the Saviour's will? 4 Are we always true in the thing we do, In our works, our words, our ways ? Are we quite content with the blessings sent, Giving God alone the praise ? 5 Dare a mortal say — for a single day — " I have kept Thy law, O God ! Un defiled by sin, t am pure within, And I need no cleansing blood?" 127. CLING to the Bible, though all else be taken ; Lose not its promises precious and sure ; GOSPEL HYMNS, 5 <& 6 COMBINED. 95 Souls that are sleeping its echoes awaken. Drink from the fountain, so peaceful, so pure. Cho.— 11: Cling to the Bible ! :1| Cling to the Bible ! Our Lamp and Guide. 2 Cling to the Bible, this jewel, this treasure Brings to us honor and saves fallen mau ; Pearl whose great value no mortal can. measure, Seek and secure it, O soul, while you can- 3 Lamp for the feet that in bj'-ways have wander' d, Guide for the youth that would otherwise fall; Hope for the sinner whose best days are squander' d, Staff for the aged, and best book of all. 128.

THERE'S a wideness in God's mercy. Like the wideness of the sea ; There's a kindness in His justice, Which is more than liberty. o QOSPEL HYMNS, 5 & 6 COMBiyED. 265 2 There is welcome for the sinner. And more graces for the good ; There is mercy with the Saviour ; There is healing in His blood. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind ; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. 4 If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at His word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord. 366. DAUGHTER, take good heed, Incline and give good ear ; Thou must forget thy kindred all, And father's house most dear. Thy beauty to the King, Shall then delightful be ; And do thou humbly worship Him, Because thy Lord Is He. Cho. — With gladness and with joy, Thou all of them shalt bring.

The daughter of the King All glorious is within ; 266 GOSPEL HYMNS, 5 tSi 6 COMBINED. And with embroideries of gold Her garments wrought have been. 3 She Cometh to the King In robes with needle wrought ; The virgins that do follow her Shall unto Thee be brought. With gladness and with joy, Thou all of them shalt bring, And they together enter shall The palace of the King. 4 And in Thy Father's stead, Thy children Thou shalt take, And in all places of the earth Them noble princes make. I will show forth Thy name To generations all ; The people therefore evermore To Thee give praises shall, 367. O HAPPY day that fixed my choice On Thee, my Saviour and my God I Well may this glowing heart rejoice, And tell its raptures all abroad, Cho. — Happy day, happy day, When Jesus washed my sins away ; He taught me how to watch and pr«.v And live rejoicing every day; Happy day, happy day, When Jesus washed my sins away. 2 O happy bond that seals my vows To Him who merits all my love ; Let cheerful anthems fill His house. While to that sacred shrine I move» GOSPEL HTMXS, 5 & 6 COMBUSTED. 267 3 'Tis done, the great transaction's done ; I am my Lord's and He is mine ; He drew me, and I followed on, Charmed to confess the voice divine. 4 Now rest, my long-divided heart, Fixed on this blissful centre, rest ; Nor ever from tliy Lord depart, With Him of every good possessed. 6 High Heaven, that heard the solemn vow, That vow renewed shall daily hear, Till in life's latest hour I bow,' And bless m death a bond so dear. 368.

Hearts to heaven and voices raise ; Sing to God a hymn of gladness, Sing to God a hymn of praise ; He who on the cross a victim For the world's salvation bled, Jesus Christ the King of glory. Now has risen from the dead. 2 Christ is risen, Christ the first-fruits Of the holy harvest field, Which will all its full abundance, At His glorious advent, yield ; Then the golden ears of harvest Will before His presence wave, Rising in His sunshine joyous, From the furrows of the grave. 3 Hallelujah ! Hallelujah ! Glory be to God above ! Hallelujah to the Saviour, Fount of life and source of love ; Hallelujah to the Spirit ; Let our high ascription be, Hallelujah, now and ever.
