Montgomery. 1 According to thy gracious word, In meek humility, / This will I do, my dying Lord — I will remember thee 1 Thy body, broken for my sake. My bread from heaven shall be ; Thy testamental cup I take. And thus remember thee. .3 Remember thee, and all thy pains, And all thy love to me ! i Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains, Will I remember thee. 4 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee, When thou shalt in thy kingdom come, Jesus, remember me. 2. C. M. Spirit of tlie Psalms, Bright was the guiding star that led, With mild benignant ray, The Gentiles to the lowly shed Where the Redeemer lay. But lo ! a brighter, clearer light, Now points to his abode, It shines through sin and sorrow's night, To guide us to our Lord. 4 3 O haste to follow where it leads ; The gracious call obey ; Be rugged wilds, or flowery meads r The christian's destined way. 4 O gladly tread the narrow path, While light and grace are given ; Who meekly follow Christ on earth,. Shall reign with him in heaven. 3. C. M. Enfield. 1 Behold, where in a mortal form Appears each grace divine ; The virtues, all in Jesus met, With mildest radiance shine. 2 To spread the rays of heavenly light. To give the mourner joy, To preach glad tidings to the poor, Was his divine employ. 3 In the last hour of deep distress, Before his Father's throne, With soul resign'd, he bow'd, and said. ' Thy will, not mine, be done V 4 Be Christ our pattern and our guide ? His image may we bear ! O may we tread his holy steps ! His joy and glory share ! 4. L. M. JYeivton. Brethren, belov'd for Jesus' sake, A hearty welcome here receive ; May we together now partake The joys which he alone can give ! -2 May he, by whose kind care we meet, Send his good spirit from above ; Make our communication sweet, And cause our hearts to burn with love 3 Forgotten be each worldly theme, When thus we meet to pray and praise, We only wish to speak of him, And tell the wonders of his grace. 4 We'll talk of all he did and said, His suff'rings and his dying love, The path he mark 'd for us to tread, And how he triumphs now above. 5 'Thus as the moments pass away, We'll love, and wonder, and adore ; Then hasten on the glorious day, When we shall meet to part no more. 5. L. M. Steele. a Come, weary souls, with sins distrest, Come, and accept the promis'd rest ; The Saviour's gracious call obey, And cast your gloomy fears away. 2 Oppress'd with guilt, a painful load, Oh, come, and spread your woes abroad : Divine compassion, mighty love, Will all the painful load remove. 3 Here mercy's boundless ocean flows, To cleanse your guilt and heal your woes Pardon and life, and endless peace ; How rich the gift, how free the grace ! 4 Lord, we accept, with thankful heart, The hope thy gracious words impart ; We come with trembling, yet rejoice And bless the kind inviting voice. 8 6.

Montgomery. 1 Go to dark Gethsamane, Ye that feel temptation's power, Your Redeemer's conflict see, Watch with him one bitter hour. Turn not from his griefs away, Learn of Jesus Christ to pray. 2 Follow to the judgment-hall, View the Lord of life arraign'd, O the wormwood and the gall ! O the pangs his soul sustain'd. Shun not suffering shame or loss ; Learn of him to bear the cross. 3 Calvary^s mournful mountain climb : There, admiring at his feet, Mark that miracle of time, God's own sacrifice complete : * It is finish 'd,' hear him cry : Learn of Jesus Christ to die. Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid his breathless clay All is solitude and gloom ; — Who has taken him away ? Christ is risen ; he meets our eyes. Saviour, teach us so to rise. 10. 8s k 7s M. Cawood. 1 Hark ! what mean those holy voices, Sweetly sounding through the skies ? Lo ! th' angelic host rejoices ; Heavenly hallelujahs rise. 2 Listen to the wond'rous story Which they chant in hymns of joy : ' Glory in the highest, glory ! Glory be to God most high ! 3 '' Peace on earth, good-will from heaven. Reaching far as man is found : Souls redeem 'd and sins forgiven : — Loud our golden harps shall sound/ 4 Let us learn the wond'rous story Of our great Redeemer's birth ; Spread the brightness of bis glory, Till it cover all the earth. 11. L. M. Bowring. 1 How sweetly flow'd the gospel's sound From lips of gentleness and grace, When list'ning thousands gather 'd round, And joy and rev'rence fill 'd the place. 2 From heaven he came, of heaven he spoke, To heaven he led his followers' way ; Dark clouds of gloomy night he broke. Unveiling an immortal day. 9 3 * Come, wanderers, to my Father's home, Come, all ye weary ones, and rest !' Yes, sacred teacher, we will come, Obey thee, love thee, and be blest. 4 Decay, then, tenements of dust ! Pillars of earthly pride, decay ! A nobler mansion waits the just, And Jesus has prepar'd the way. 12. CM. Anomjmous. 1 Hark ! 'tis our heavenly Leader's voice, From the bright realms above, Amidst the war's tumultuous rage A voice of power and love. 2 Maintain the fight, my faithful band, Nor fear the mortal blow ; He that in such a warfare dies, Shall speedy vict'ry know. 3 I have my days of combat known, And in the dust was laid ; But now I sit upon my throne, And glory crowns my head. 4 This throne, this glory, shall be yours, My hands the crown shall give, And you the blest reward shall share, Whilst God himself shall live. 5 Lord 'tis enough, our souls are fired With courage and with love ; Vain the assaults of earth and hell, — Our souls are fix'd above. 6 We'll trace the footsteps thou hast trod To triumph and renown ; Nor shun thy combat and the cross, May we but wear the crown. 10 13. L. M. Anonymous. J Hath not thy heart within thee burn'd 'At evening's calm and holy hour As if its inmost depths discern'd The presence of a loftier power ? 2 Hast thou not heard, 'mid forest glades, While ancient rivers murmur 'd by, A voice from forth th' eternal shades, That spake a present Deify ? 3 And as, upon the sacred page Thine eye in rapt attention turn'd O'er records of a holier age, Hath not thy heart within thee burn'd ? 4 It was the voice of God, that spake In silence to thy silent heart ; And bade each worthier thought awake, And ev'ry dream of earth depart. 5 Voice of our God, Oh yet be near ! In low, sweet accents, whisper peace : Direct us on our pathway here, Then bid in heaven our wand'rings cease. '&■ 14. 7s & 6s. Montgomery. Hail to the Lord's anointed ! Great David's greater Son ; Hail, in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun ! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free ; To take away transgression. And rule in equity. 11 He comes, with succor speed}-, To those who suffer wrong ; To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong ; To give them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls condemn 'd and dying, Were precious in his sight. He shall come down, like showers Upon the fruitful earth, And love and joy, like flowers, Spring in his path to birth : Before him on the mountains Shall peace the herald go, And righteousness in fountains From hill to valley flow. For Him shall prayer unceasing, And daily vows ascend ; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end : The tide of time shall never His covenant remove ; His name shall stand for ever : That name to us is — -Love. 15. CM. C. Wesley. I want a principle within Of jealous, godly fear ; A sensibility of sin, A pain to find it near. I want the first approach to feel Of pride, or fond desire ; To catch the wandering of my will, And quench the kindling fire> 12 3 From thee that I no more may part, No more thy goodness grieve, The filial awe, the fleshly heart, The tender conscience, give. 4 Quick as the apple of an eye, O God, my conscience make ! Awake my soul, when sin is nigh, And keep it still awake. 16. 8s St 7s. M. J. Boiuring. 1 In the Cross of Christ I glory ! Towering o'er the wrecks of time, All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. 2 When the woes of life o'ertakeme, Hopes deceive, and fears annoy, JVever shall the cross forsake me, Lo ! it glows with peace and joy ! 3 When the sun of bliss is beaming Light and love upon my way, From the cross the radiance streaming Adds more lustre to the day. 4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, By the cross are sanctified ; Peace is there that knows no measure, Joys that through ail time abide. o In the Cross of Christ I glory ! — Towering o'er the wrecks of time, All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. 13 17. L. M. Montgomery, 1 Jesus, by those he call'd his own, Betray 'd, forsaken, or denied, He meets his enemies alone, In all their malice, rage, and pride. 2 No guile within his mouth is found, He neither threatens nor complains ; Meek as a lamb for slaughter bound, Dumb, midst his murderers he remains. 3 But hark ! he prays, — 't is for his foes ; He speaks, — 't is comfort to his friends Answers, — and Paradise bestows ; He bows his head ; the conflict ends. 4 Truly this was the Son of God ! — Though in a servant's mean disguise, And bruis'd beneath the Father's rod ; Not for himself, — for man he dies. 18. L. M. Gregg. 1 Jesus, and can it ever be, A mortal man asham'd of thee ? Scorn 'd be the thought by rich and poor My soul shall scorn it more and more. 2 Asham'd of Jesus ! yes, I may, When I 've no sins to wash away, No tears to wipe, no joys to crave, And no immortal soul to save. 3 Asham'd of Jesus ! that dear friend, On whom my hopes of heaven depend No ; when I blush, be this my shame, That I no more revere his name. 14 Till then — nor is the boasting vain- Till then I boast a Saviour slain ; And O, may this my portion be, That Saviour 'a not asham'd of me 19. 7s M. [Double.] Anonymous. 1 In the Saviour's hour of death, Bound upon the cross of fear, While his quick and struggling breath Spoke the fatal moment near ; Then his glance a felon turn'd, Suffering at the sufferer's side, And the grace which others spurn'd Sought in prayer, and found, and died, 2 Sighs of parting anguish came From the Saviour's laboring breast ; But though torture thrill 'd his frame, He could yield the afflicted rest ; And a transient, heavenly smile Beam'd upon his pallid face, As his anguish, for a while, Gave to love and pity place. 3 Matchless love, supreme in death ! Pity, in affliction shown ! Be their praise o'er earth beneath, And through heavenly regions known. Men their grateful songs shall swell, For their Saviour's love divine ; In our hearts his spirit dwell, In our lives his influence shine. 15 2Q. S. M. Watts. 1 Jesus, the friend of man, Invites around his board, Those who his spirit share, to hold Communion with their Lord. 2 Here we show forth that love, Which spake in ev'ry breath, Prompted each action of his life, And triumph'd in his death. 3 Our heav'nly Father calls Christ and his members one ; Alike the children of his love, And he the first-born son. 4 One faith, one hope, one Lord, One God alone we know ; Brethren we are ; let ev'ry heart With kind affections glow. 5 Warm'd with our master's love, And God's unmeasur'd grace ; O let our thankful hearts expand, And all mankind embrace. 21. S. M. Beddome. 1 Let party names no more The christian world o'erspread : Gentile and Jew, and bond and free. Are one in Christ, their head. 2 Among the saints on earth Let mutual love be found ; Heirs of the same inheritance, With mutual blessings crown 'd„ 16 3 Envy and strife be gone, And only kindness known ; While all one common Father have, One common Master own. 4 Thus will the church below Resemble that above, Where springs of purest pleasure rise, And every heart is love. 22. 7s M. Christian Lyre. 1 Make us of one heart and mind, Courteous, pitiful and kind ; Lowly, meek, in thought and word, Altogether like our Lord. 2 Let us for each other care, Each the other's burden bear : To thy church the pattern give ; Show how true believers live. 3 Free from anger and from pride, Let us thus in God abide ; All the depths of love express, All the heights of holiness. 4 Let us then with joy remove To the family above, On the wings of angels fly ; Show how true believers die. 23. C. M. Greenwood. Now I approach thy table, Lord, With reverent joy and love : I call to mind my Saviour's word, And will obedient prove. 17 O, shall I not remember one. Who bled and died for me ? Nor think on all that he has done. To make me pure and free ? Yes, I'll remember him, and strive To love him more and more ; So that I may with Jesus live, When this short life is o'er. 24. S. M. Christian Psalmist. 1 Our Captain leads us on, He beckons from the skies, He reaches out a starry crown, And bids us take the prize. 2 ' ; Be faithful unto death, Partake my victory, And thou shalt wear this glorious wreath, And thou shalt reign with me." 3 'T is thus the righteous Lord To every soldier saith ; Eternal life is the reward Of all victorious faith. 4 Who conquer in his might, The victor's meed receive ; They claim a kingdom in his right, Which God shall freely give. 25. C. M. Seiuall's Col. 1 O God, accept the sacred hour Which we to thee have given ; And let this hallow 'd scene have power To raise our souls to heaven. 18 2 Still let us hold, till life departs, The precepts of thy Son, Nor let our thoughtless, thankless hearts Forget what he has done. 3 His true disciples may we live, From all corruption free, And humbly learn like him to give Our powers, our wills, to thee. 26. 8s & 7s M. Jfewton. 1 One there is, above all others, Well deserves the name of friend ; His is love beyond a brother's, Costly, free, and knows no end. 2 Which, of all our friends, to save us Could or would have shed his blood But this Saviour died to have us Reconcil'd in him to God. 3 When he hVd on earth abas'd, Friend of sinners was his name ; Now, above all glory rais'd, He rejoices in the same. 4 Oh, for grace our hearts to soften r Teach us, Lord, at length to love ; We, alas ! forget, too often, What a Friend we have above. *7. C. M. Miss E. TayUrr. O herb, if ever, God of love ! Let strife and tumult cease ; And eVry thought harmonious move, And ev'ry heart be peace. 19 *2 Not here, where met to think on him Whose latest thoughts were ours Shall mortal passions come, to dim The prayer devotion pours. 3 No, gracious master, not in vain Thy life of love hath been ; The peace thou gav'st, may yet remain, Though thou no more art seen. 4 Thy *■ kingdom come ;" we watch, we wait To hear thy cheering call ; When heaven shall ope its glorious gate, And God be all in all. 28. L.M. .Yew- York Coll 1 See how he lov'd ! exclaim'd the Jews, As tender tears from Jesus fell. My grateful heart the thought pursues, And on the theme delights to dwell. '2 See how he lov'd ! who never shrank From toil, and danger, pain, or death ; Who all the cup of sorrow drank, And meekly yielded up his breath. 3 See how he lov'd ! who di'd for man, Who labor'd thus, and thus endur'd, To execute the gracious plan, Which life and heaven to man secur'd. 4 Can we, unmov'd, such love survey ? O may our hearts with ardor glow, To tread his steps, his laws obey, And thus our warm affection show. 20 29. L. M. Tappan. 1 'Tis midnight — and on Olive's brow, The star is dimm'd that lately shone ; 'Tis midnight — in the garden now, The suff'ring Saviour prays alone. 2 'Tis midnight — and from all remov'd, Immanuel wrestles lone, with fears ; E'en the disciple that he lov'd Heeds not his Master's grief and tears. 3 'Tis midnight — and for other's guilt The man of sorrows weeps in blood ; Yet he that hath in anguish knelt, Is not forsaken by his God. 4 'Tis midnight — and from ether plains Is borne the song that angels know ; Unheard by mortals are the strains That sweetly sooth the Saviour's wo. 30. C. M. C. Wesley.. 1 The saints on earth and those above But one communion make ; Join'd to their Lord in bonds of love, All of his grace partake. 2 One family, we dwell in him : One church above, beneath ; Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death. 3 One army of the living God, To his command we bow ; Part of the host have cross'd the flood, And part are crossing now. 21 O God, be thou our constant guide ! Then, when the word is given, Bid death's cold flood its waves divide, And land us safe in heaven. 31. L. M. Montgomery. 1 The christian warrior, see him stand In the whole armour of his God ; The spirit's sword is in his hand ; His feet are with the gospel shod : 2 In panoply of truth complete, Salvation's helmet on his head, With righteousness, a breastplate meet, And faith's broad shield before him spread, 3 With this omnipotence he moves, From this the alien armies flee ; Till more than conqueror he proves, Through Christ, who gives htm victory, 4 Thus strong in his Redeemer's strength, Sin, death, and hell he tramples down, Fights the good fight, and wins at length. Through imcrcv, an immortal crown. 32. 7s M. Contemplations of the Saviour. I Thou, by pain and care oppress'd, Lift the eye with sorrow dim ; In tlay Saviour's love find rest *, Child of stanering, hear thou him 1 % Trifler of the passing hour, Vain the pleasures eartli can give ; Stay thy course ; thy Saviour's power Calls thee ; hear, and turn, and live i 22 3 Wanderer on the downward road, Far from virtue's guiding ray ;, Turn to happiness, to God ; Jesus calls thee ; turn and pray 5 4 Fixing Faith's bright gaze above, Hear him, while on earth ye tread Ye shall hear his tones of love, When the trumpet waives the dead. 33.. L. M. Anonymous. t There's not a hope, with comfort fraught Triumphant over death and time, But Jesus mingles in that thought, Forerunner ofour course sublime. % His imag-e meets me in the hour Of joy, and brightens every single :. I see him when the tempests lower, Each terror soothe, each grief beguile. j 1 see him in the- daily round Of social duty, mild and meek ;. With him I tread the hallow'd ground. Communion with my God to seek. 4 I meet him at the fowfy tomb ; I weep where Jesus wept before ; And there above the grave's dark gloon*, I see him rise — and Ireep no more. a Then ask me not to live, and be A stranger to that generous flame, Which warms, and, to eternity Must warm oiy soul at Jesse. 1 :naai*~. 23 34.

Was not thy head by earth's tierce tempests bow'd ? Raise thou our eyes above, To see a Father's love Beam, like the bow of promise, through the cloud. 5 Ev'n through the awful gloom, Which hovers o'er the tomb, That light of love our guiding star shall be ; Our spirits shall not dread The shadowy way to tread, Friend, Guardian, Saviour, which doth lead to thee. 36.

A light from heaven's eternal glow, By thee must come, thou gate of love, Through which the saints undoubting trod Till faith discovers, like the dove, An ark, a resting place in God. 25 L 2 Thou art the Truth — whose steady day Shines on through earthly blight and bloom. The pure, the everlasting ray, The lamp that shines e'en in the tomb ; The light, that out of darkness springs, And guideth those that blindly go : The word, whose precious radiance flings Its lustre upon all below. 3 Thou art the Life — the blessed well, With living waters gushing o'er, Which those who drink shall ever dwell Where sin and thirst are known no more : Thou art the mystic pillar given, Our lamp by night, our light by day ; Thou art the sacred bread from heaven ; — Thou art the Life — the Truth — the Way. 37. C. M. Exeter Col. 1 With warm affection let us view, With pious grief improve, The solemn and impressive sceno Of Jesus' dying love. '2 Not all the malice of his foes, His pity could subdue ; " Father ! forgive," he meekly pray'd, " They know not what they do." 3 O what a love was here display 'd, Beyond our utmost thought ! How pure the lessons, how sublime, In life and death he taught ! 26 Let not his sacred truths, by u* Bo lost, or misappH'd ; Nor let our thoughtless hearts forget That 'twas for us he died. 33. L. M.

By us repeated in thy sight : O fill our souls with bread divine, And nourish us with heavenly wine ? 09. CM. Cant, of the Sariuur. Who, as the brethren of the Lord, May his affection claim ? To whom on earth does Christ accord A brother's honoured name ? 27 2 The pure, the humble, the sincere. Whose hopes are fixed above ; Who worship God with holy fear, And ardent filial love ; 3 Who to the Saviour's word of grace With grateful warmth attend. Such does his loving heart embrace, Their brother and their friend. 4 For these, in dark Gethsemane. His bitter tears were shed ; For these, upon the fatal tree. He bow'd his patient head. o Brethren of Jesus, may we shary The love that fill'd his breast, On earth his burthen joyful bear, Then enter to his rest. •10. L. M. Exeter Col. 1 When, in obedience to their Lord, His followers meet around his board. His love may well employ the song, And dwell with praises on the tongue. 2 He lov'd mankind, — their welfare sought. In aihhe did, in all he taught ; Their present peace, their future joy, His whole concern, his life's employ. 3 Where deep distress prolongs the sigh. Behold the tender Jesus nigh : He heals the sick, restores the blind, Con.solos and sooths the drooping mind. r 28 What love, what kindness, from his tongue, Invite the willing soul to come, To hear his gospel, learn the way Which leads through death to endless day ! 41. S. M. lYeic-York Col 1 Fes, to the last command We will obedient prove ; Around his table will we stand, In memory of his love. 2 His precious blood he shed For our unworthy race, While uttering, in th' Almighty's stead, His messages of grace. 3 Oh ! if our senseless pride His dying words neglect, 'Tis we who pierce his sacred side, And we who God reject. 4 Then let us ever keep This consecrated feast, "Till memory shall have sunk to sleep.

Ye faithful souls, who Jesus know, If risen indeed with him ye are, Superior to the joys below, His resurrection's power declare. 29 2 Your faith by holy tempers prove ; By actions show your sins forgiven ; And seek the glorious things above, And follow Christ, your Head, to heaven. 3 To him continually aspire, Contending for your native place, And emulate the angel-choir, And only live to love and praise. 4 Your real life, with Christ conceal'd, Deep in the Father's bosom lies ; And glorious as your Head reveal'd, Ye soon shall meet him in the skies. 43. C. M. Beddome. 1 Ye followers of the Prince of peace, Who round his table draw ! Remember what his spirit was, What his peculiar law. 2 The love, which all his bosom fill'd, Did all his actions guide ; Inspired by love, he lived and taught Inspired by love, he died. 3 Let all the sacred law fulfil ; Like his be every mind ; Be every temper form'd by love, And every action kind. 30 Let none, who call themselves his friends, Disgrace the honourd name ; But by a near resemblance prove Tho title which they claim.
