"1 DEHOLD, behold the Lamb of God, ' D On the Cross ; P For us He shed His precious blood, On the Cross. Oh, you who still His love defy, And all His grace and power deny, Draw near and see your Saviour die On the Cross. Come, sinners, see Him lifted up, On the Cross, He drinks for you the bitter cup. On the Cross. The rocks do rend, the mountains quake. While Jesus does atonement make. While Jesus suffers for our sake, On the Cross. And now the mighty deed is done On the Cross, The battle's fought, the victory's won, On the Cross ; To heaven He turns His languid eyes — *' 'Tis finished !" now the Conqueror cries. Then bows His sacred head and dies On the Cross. J:. SALVATION. Where'er I go I'll tell the story Of the Cross ; In nothing else my soul shall glory, Save the Cross. Yes, this my constant theme shall be. Through time and in eternity, That Jesus tasted death for me, On the Cross. Tune, "Come, sinner, wash." B. J. 137. P. W. 95. COME, Sinner, wash your guilty soul, In your Redeemer's blood ; Your burden then from you shall roll, And He will be your God. You know for you the Saviour died That you with Him might live, And how upon the Cross He cried : " Forgive them, oh, fors;ive." Come, sinner, Jesus calls to thee. Oh, now His voice obey. And now to Him for refuge flee, Before your dying day. You cannot rest without your Lord, Nor find your joy in sin. And while you spurn His precious word You cannot pardon win. Oh, lost one, bound by Satan's chain. He longs to set you free ! No more His love and truth disdain, But come and happy be. Your Saviour died because your sin He saw had you condemned ; And shed His precious blood to win Your soul, and be your Friend. Your life is now so full of care, Of sorrow, fear and shame — Now, come to Him in your despair, He'll call you by His name. (4) . . SALVATION. Time, " C6nie, sinners, to Jesus." B. B. No. (30. S.

Q /'^OME, sinners, to Jesus, no longer delay, ^<-^ A free, full salvation is offered to-day. ^ Arise, all ye bond-slaves, awake from your dream, Believe, and the light and the glory shall stream. For the conquering Saviour shall break every chain, And give us the vict'ry again and again. The world will oppose, you and Satan will' rage ; To hinder your coming they both will engage ; But Jesus, your Saviour, has conquered for you. And He will assist you to conquer them too. Though tough be the fighting, and troubles arise, There are mansions of glory prepared in the skies ; A crown and a kingdom you shortly shall view. The laurels of vict'ry are waiting for you. When death's shady valley Christ calls you to tread, A halo of glory around you He'll shed ; His presence shall cheer you as faintly you pray, And angels to glory shall bear you away. Tune, " Come to the Saviour." B. 3. 3. S. M., I., 354. 4 /'^OME to the Saviour, come to the Saviour, ^<^ Ye sin-burdened children of men ; He left His throne above to reveal His wondrous love. And to open a fountain for sin. ^ I do believe it ! I do believe it ! I'm saved through the blood of the Lamb ! My happy soul is free, for the Lord has pardoned me, Hallelujah to Jesus' name.- Why do you linger ? why do you linger ? Oh, when will you haste to be saved ? Your time is flying fast, and your day will soon be past, Oh, arise now and come and be saved. ^ , ■ (5) v^i,' SALVATION. Pardon is offered, pardon is offered — A pardon full, present, and free ; You will not be denied, for on Calvary Jesus died That saved every rebel might be.

He is able, He is willing, doubt no more. Let not conscience make you linger. Nor of fitness fondly dream ; All the fitness He requireth Is to feel your need ot Him ; This He gives you : 'Tis the Spirit's rising beam. Come, ye weary, heavy laden, Bruised and ruined by the fall ; If you tarry till you're better You will never come at all. Not the righteous ; Sinners, Jesus came to call. Tune, "Come, ye trifling sinners;" B. J. 95; S. M., I., 325; or " Christ now sits ; " B. B. 64 ; S. M., I., 41. 6 N COME, ye trifling sinners, come.

O, ye children of the light, Always keep your armor bright ; Then with all the sanctified Christ will claim you for His bride. Then you'll ever with Him be, Happy in eternity. 325; Tune, " Delay not;" S. M., I., 336; or ''Lord Jesua, I long;" B. J.,56, 2; 8. M., I., 194. T r\ELAY not, delay not, O sinner draw near, l^ The waters of life are now flowing for thee ; ^ No price is demanded, the Saviour is here. Redemption is purchased, salvation is free. Delay not, delay not, why longer abuse The love and compassion of Jesus thy God ? A Fountain is opened— how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? Delay not, deky not, O sinner, to come, For mercy still lingers and calls thee to-day ; Her voice is not heard in the vale of the tomb, Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away. Delay not, delay not ; the Spirit of grace, Long grieved, and resisted, may take His sad flight, And leave Thee in darkness to finish thy race. To sink in the gloom of eternity's night.

Christ invites you, Now His pardoning love to share. Richly flowed the crimson river, When our great Redeemer died ; And that blood will you deliver, Whensoever 'tis applied.

Going to judgment with salvation light, Going to judgment for not doing right ; Dreading the sentence, *' Depart from Mc !" Sad, ah ! sad will the judgment be. What if I will not salvation seek ? What if I will not hear conscience speak ? What if God's talents and time I waste ? What if I sin away days of grace ? What if I will not take up my cross ? What if I sin till my soul is lost ? What if I sink in the burning flame ? There will be none but myself to blame. What when the Spirit will strive no more ? What when the Master has shut the door ?

Haste, haste, while He waits in His arms to enfold thee ; The harvest is passing, the summer will end. Despised and rejected, at length He may leave Thee ; What anguish and horror thy bosom will rend ! Then haste thee, O sinner, while He will receive thee ; The harvest is passing, the summer will end. Ere long, and Jehovah will come in His power ; Our God will arise with His foes to contend ; Haste, haste thee, O sinner, prepare for that hour ! The harvest is passing, the summer will end.

Once again I charge you, stop . For unless you warning take, Ere you are aware you'll drop Into the burning lake. Ghastly death will quickly oome, And drag you to the bar ; Then to hear your awful doom Will fill you with despair. All your sins will round you crowd — Sins of blood and crimson dye ; Each for vengeance crying loud. And what will you reply ? But as yet there is a hope. You may His mercy know ; Though His arm be lifted up, He still forbears the blow. 'Twas for sinners Jesus died. Sinners He invites to come ; None who come shall be denied.

Care should be taken, however, in the selection of a tune, that the seniiriient contained in its chorus should correspond with that of the song to which it is sung. As a rule, songs which have no initial under their number will be found to be unsuitable for any other tunes than those which are marked over them. The songs have been divided and classified according to the various kinds of meetings which are conducted in Salvation war- fare. It will be found, however, that the songs in one section will be equally aj^licable to another class of meetings : Thus, Funeral Songs mil, m most cases, be applicable to Farewell greetings; Prayer Meeting Songs to Salvation Meetings ; and War Songs to United Gatherings. It is hoped that the special selection of Prayer Meeting Songs will he found most effective for that class of meetings. Congrega- tional singing should be encouraged in our prayer tneetings, and it should be as varied as possible. As singing forms so important a part of Salvation Army engagements, too great a care cannot be exercised in preparing for this part of the services. Each officer and leader of meetings should m,ake it a special duty to carefully study the Key, so as to secure as great a variety of tunes as possible. Old tvords sung to a new tune are often vrvuch more effective. The selection of songs and tunes should not be left till the officer or leader steps on to his platform to commnence his meeting, but ehould be carefully m,ade beforehand. A leader should not always commence the same class oftneetings with the same fong, or confine himself to two or three, but should have as varied a selection as possible. This book will be a great assistance to him in this respect, and, as each section is arranged in alphabetical order, he will have no difficulty in turning to any particular song he may wish. Songs that are not so well-known as others, should be used as solos till the soldiers and congregation get to know them. Kot only should an officer make a selection of songs and tunes himself, before entering a meeting, but where he has a band, he should communicate his decision m good time to the bandmaster, and ascertain whether the band canplay those tunes, and if not, he should make such alteration as he may think necessary, providing he wishes to use his band at that time, and considers their help with the newly -selected song to be of greater value to the meeting than his original selection udthout the music. The ' ' Key " will, however, give him a good selection of songs in the various metres so that he need very seldom be necessitated to alter his words. (212) KEY. EXPLANATION OF REFERENCES.
