PREFACE,- 
 
 Choice collections of Spiritual Songs are, at all' 
 times, convenient to worshipping assembhes^ as well 
 as to christians who would refresh their souls by the 
 melodies of music, as they pursue their daily avoca- 
 tions, or rest from their labors. The songs of tha 
 early days of Methodism, ere the innovations of a 
 false refinement had wrought their changes, were pe- 
 culiarly adapted to awaken the soul to devotion, and 
 by their straight forward plainness, to cherish the 
 true spirit of christianitVa. Who is there, that doe% 
 not remember the favorite strains of other days, and 
 wish to hear again the songs that once made his soul 
 glad? Amongst the most popular collections of spir- 
 itual songs formerly in. use w^as HindVs Pilgrim' 
 Songster^ but this has been long out of print, and 
 could not be obtained. To supply the public with, 
 many of the best to be found in that collection, as 
 well as other devotional gems, the compiler has been* 
 Induced tx>^ make the following collection ; hoping it 
 may tend to bring baclv: the taste and spirit of Meth^ 
 odism to its early purity and zeal ; and that while 
 speaking in Psalms and HymnSj and Spiritual 
 SongSf and making melody in our hearts^ we may 
 enjoy the blessing of the Lord of Zion,. 
 
 If,. in some of these, the language is not so smooth; 
 Bor the measure so polished, as the skilled in scien-v- 
 tific acquirement would have them, I trust my chris-- 
 
tian friends will bear in mind that the language is 
 such as speaks the gushing feelings of the soul, and; 
 is adapted to^s trains that .may awaken the sinner,, 
 comfort the mourner, and lift the soul of the chris-* 
 tian to communion with his God. 
 
 That his fellow christians of every class and de- 
 nomination, may be benefitted, and the glory of the 
 Saviour's kingdom be promoted, is the sincere pray- 
 er of their fellow laborer in the cause of Christ.

SPIRITUAL SONGS. 
 
 SONG 1. 
 
 The Agonies and Sufferings of Christ. 
 
 THE Son of man they did betray ; 
 He was condemned and led away : 
 Think, O ! my soul on that dread day, 
 
 Look on Mount Calvary. 
 Behold him lamb-like led along, 
 Surrounded by a wicked throng, 
 Accus'd by each lying tongue, 
 And thus the Lamb of God was hung 
 
 Upon the shameful tree. 
 
 Thus the glorious sufferer stood, 
 
 With hands and feet nail'd to the wood ; 
 
 From ev'ry wound a stream of blood, 
 
 Came trickling down amain. 
 His bitter groans all nature shook. 
 And at his voice the rocks were broke 
 And sleeping saints their graves forsook. 
 While spiteful Jews around Him mock^ 
 
 And laughed at his pain. 
 
 Now hung between the earth and skies, 
 Behold him trembling as he dies ; 
 O ! sinners, hear hia mournful criesj 
 Behold his tort'rmg pain. 
 
 V 
 
[6] 
 
 The morning sun withdrew his light, 
 Blush'd and refas'd to view the sight ; 
 The azure cloth'd in robes of night, 
 All nature mourn'd and stood affright. 
 When Christ the Lord was slain. 
 
 4. Ye men and angels hear the Son, 
 
 He cries for help, but Oh ! there's none 
 He treads the wine-press all alone, 
 
 His garments stain'd with blood. 
 In lamentation hear him cry, 
 Eloi lama sabacthani. 
 Tho' death may close his languid eye^^ 
 He soon will mount the upper sky, 
 
 The conqu'ring Son of God. 
 
 5. But Jews and Romans in a band, 
 
 With hearts of steel around him stand, 
 If you have come to save the land, 
 
 Then try yourself to free. 
 A soldier pierc'd him when he died, 
 And healing streams came from his side 
 And thus my Lord was crucified, 
 Stern justice now is satisfied, 
 
 Sinners, for you and me« 
 
 6. Behold him mount the throne of state^ 
 And fill the m.ediatorial seat^ 
 And millions bowing at his feet, 
 
 And loud hosannas tell : 
 Tho' he endur'd exquisite pains. 
 He led the monster death in chains ; 
 Ye seraphs raise your loudest strains. 
 With music fill bright Eden's plains ; 
 
 He's conquer'd death and hell. 
 
[7] 
 
 ' Tis done, the dreadful debt is paid, 
 The great atonement now is Ynade ; 
 Sinners, on me your guilt is laid, 
 
 For you I spilt my blood : 
 For you my tender soul did move, 
 For you I left my courts above ; 
 * That you the length and breadth might prove, 
 The depth and height of perfect love, 
 
 In Christ your smiling God. 
 
 8. All glory be to God on high. 
 
 Who reigns enthroned above the sky, 
 Who sent his son to bleed and die, 
 
 Glory to him be given : 
 While Heaven above his praise resounds, 
 Zion sing, his grace abounds, 
 1 hope to shout eternal rounds, 
 In flaming love that knows no bounds, 
 
 When swallow'd up in Heaven* 
 
 SONG 2. ■ 
 
 Alarm, 
 
 1, STOP, poor sinner! stop and think, 
 
 Before you farther go ! 
 Will you sport upon the brink 
 
 Of everlasting wo ? 
 Once again, I charge you stop ! 
 
 For, unless you warning take, 
 Ere you are aware, you drop 
 
 Into the burning lake I 
 
 2, Say, have you an arm like God, 
 
 That you his will oppose ? 
 Fear you not that iron rod. 
 
 With which he breaks his foes ? 
 
[8] 
 
 Can you stand in that dread day, 
 When he judgment shall proclaim^ 
 
 And the earth shall melt away 
 Like wax before the flame ? 
 
 3. Pale-fac'd death will quickly come,, 
 
 To drag you to his bar ; 
 Then to hear your awful doom 
 
 Will fill you with despair. 
 All yom^ sins will round you crowd. 
 
 Sins of a blood crimson dye ; 
 Each for vengeance crying loud,. 
 
 And what can you reply ? 
 
 4. Though your heart be made of steely 
 
 Your forehead lined vvith brass, 
 God at length will make you feel : 
 
 He will not let yotr-'pass : 
 Smners then in vain will call, 
 
 (Though they now despise his grace^) 
 Rocks and mountains on us fall, 
 
 And hide us from his face. 
 
 5. But as yet there is a hope 
 
 You may his mercy know ; 
 Though his arm is lifted up. 
 
 He still forbeai-s the blow : 
 ' Twas for sinners Jesus died ; 
 
 Sinners he invites to come ; 
 None who come shall be denied. 
 
 He savs, There still is room/'* 
 
 SONG 3. 
 
 1. WHEN for eternal worlds we steer. 
 And seas are calm and skies are clear.. 
 And faith in lively exercise. 
 
[9J 
 
 Sees distant hills of Canaan rise ; 
 The soul fox joy then claps her wings, 
 And loud her lovely sonnet sings, 
 Vain world, adieu. 
 
 2. With cheerful hope, her eyes explore 
 Each land-mark on the distant shore, 
 The trees of life, the pastures green, 
 The golden streets, the crystal stream ; 
 Again for joy she claps her wings. 
 And loud her lovely sonnet sings, 
 I'm going home. 
 
 cS. The nearer still she draws to land, 
 More eager all her powers expand. 
 With steady helm, and free bent sail. 
 Her anchor drops within the vail, — 
 And now for joy she folds her wings, 
 And her celestial sonnet sings, 
 I'm safe at home, 
 
 4. Now safely moor'd, no storm I fear. 
 My God, my Christ, my heav'n is here, 
 And all the joys of Paradise 
 In holiness and beauty rise, — 
 ' Tis now the soul, with folded wing. 
 Her thrilling notes of joylhall sing. 
 Glory to God- 
 
 SONG 4. 
 
 1. LORD, my ransom'd soul adores thee^ 
 Thou my joy and portion art: 
 Day and night I plead before thee^ 
 Answer Lord — thy grace impart. 
 
 Send thy spirit. 
 Pierce the stubborn sinner's heart. 
 
2. Ah ! dear Lord, they're bound for ruin^ 
 
 Hastening down to endless woe : 
 While their danger we are viewing. 
 Streams of briny sorrow flow. 
 
 Lord, alarm them, 
 Or to ruin they must go ! 
 
 3. See, dear Lord, our near connexions^, 
 
 Dear companions all around,, 
 Brothers, sisters, children, parents^ 
 Down to desperation bound, 
 
 Jesus, save them ; 
 Let the lost again be found, 
 
 4. Prayers and tears, alas ! we've vented j 
 
 Shall we weep and pray in vain ? 
 Yet, alas ! they seem contented ! 
 
 Naught but scoffs and frowns we gain t 
 
 Jesu^, save them ; 
 Save them, Lord from endless pain* 
 
 5. Death, it may be, now is near them ; 
 
 Soon they'll feel his cold embrace : 
 Gracious Heaven ! shall v^^e hear them- 
 Mourn thy long rejected grace? 
 
 Lord, constrain them 
 Now to seek a Saviour's face^ 
 
 6. Lord, we view the separation 
 
 At thy great, tremendous bart 
 Mourning, weeping, lamentationy. 
 Must be their employment there. 
 
 Must we see them 
 Stand their awful doom to hear ? 
 
 1. Must we there be separated, 
 
 Never, never more to meet ? 
 Mournful scene, long contemplated ! 
 
[11] 
 
 Lord, and is there mercy yet? 
 
 Lay them prostrate, 
 Precious Jesus, at thy feet, 
 
 8. Lord, display thy matchless power, 
 
 Pierce their stubborn hearts of stone ; 
 Make them dread that awful hour — • 
 Bow them. Lord, before thy throne. 
 
 Save them, Jesus ; 
 Save them, save them for thine own f 
 
 SONG 5. 
 
 The following is the substance of a convei^sation be-- 
 tween two professors as they met^one going to^ the 
 other returning from Camp Meetings early in the 
 morning, 
 
 L GOOD morning, brother pilgrim; 
 
 What, marching to Zion ? 
 What doubts and what dangers have you met to-day? 
 
 Have you found a blessing ? 
 
 Are your joys increasing ? 
 Press forward, my brother, and make no delay. 
 
 Is your heart glowing ? 
 
 Are your comforts flowing? 
 And have you an evidence now bright and clear ? 
 
 Have you a desire 
 
 That burns like a fire ? 
 And have hope in the hour when Christ shall appear ? 
 
 2. " I have come out this morning, 
 
 And now am returning, 
 Perhaps little better than when I first carne i 
 
 Such groaning and shouting, 
 
 It sets me to doubting, 
 I fear such religion is all like a dream. 
 
[12] 
 
 The preachers were stamping, 
 
 The people were jumpmg, 
 And screaming so loud that I neither could hear 
 
 Either praying or preaching ; 
 
 Such horrible screeching, 
 ' Twas truly offensive to all that were there." 
 
 3. Perhaps my dear brother, 
 
 While they pray'd together, 
 You sat and considered and prayed not at all ; 
 
 Would you find a blessing. 
 
 Then pray without ceasing, 
 Obey the advice which was given by Paul, 
 
 For if you should reason, 
 
 At any such season. 
 No wonder if satan should tell in your ear. 
 
 The preachers and people 
 
 Are all but a rabble. 
 And this is no place for reflection and prayer. 
 
 " No place for reflection ! 
 
 Vm fill'd with distraction, 
 I wonder the people could bear there to stay. 
 
 The men there were bawling. 
 
 The women were squalling, 
 I wonder, for my part, how any could pray ; 
 
 Such horrid confusion. 
 
 If this be religion 
 Sure it is something new that has never been seen ; 
 
 For the sacred pages 
 
 That speak of all ages. 
 Do nowhere declare that such ever has been." 
 
 5. Don't be so soon shaken. 
 
 If I'm not mistaken. 
 Such things have been acted by christians of old ; 
 
 When the great ark was coming. 
 
 King David came running. 
 And danced before it, in scripture we're toW. 
 
[13] 
 
 When the Jewish nation, 
 Had laid the foundation, 
 And rebuilt the temple by Ezra's command. 
 Some wept; and some praised. 
 Such a noise there was raised, 
 • ' Twas heard afar off, perhaps all through the land, 
 
 6. And as for the preacher, 
 Ezekiel the teacher. 
 
 Was taught there to stamp, and smite with his hand, 
 
 To show the transgression 
 
 Of that wicked nation, 
 ^ And bid them repent and obey the command, 
 
 For scripture quotation 
 
 In this dispensation. 
 Our gracious Redeemer has handed them down, 
 
 If some ceased from praising ; 
 
 We hear him proclaiming. 
 The stones to reprove them would quickly cry out. 
 
 7. " Then scripture is wrested. 
 For Paul has protested. 
 
 That order should be kept in the house of the Lord ; 
 
 Amidst such a clatter, 
 
 W^ho knows v^hat's the matter ? 
 Or who can attend unto what is declared ? 
 
 To see them behaving 
 
 Like drunkards, or raving, 
 ' And lying and rolling prostrate on the ground ; 
 
 I really felt awful. 
 
 And sometimes was fearful 
 That I'd be the next to come tumbling down." 
 
 8. You say you felt awful, 
 You ought to be careful 
 
 Le^ you grieve the Spirit and make him depart, 
 
 For by your expressions. 
 
 You felt some impressions. 
 The sweet melting shower has tendered your heart. 
 
[U] 
 
 You fear persecution, 
 
 And there's the dehision 
 Brought in by the devil, has turn'd you away ; * 
 
 Be careful, my brother, 
 
 For blest are none other, 
 Than persons that are not offended in me^ 
 
 9, When Peter was preaching, 
 
 And was boldly teaching, 
 The way of salvation in Jesus' name^ 
 
 The Spirit descended. 
 
 And some were offended, 
 And said of the men, fhei/ are filled loith neiv tcine 
 
 I never yet doubted 
 
 But some of them shouted, 
 While others lay prostrate, by power struck down: 
 
 Some weeping, some praising, 
 
 While others were saying, [abound. 
 They are drunkards and fools, and in falsehood 
 
 10. Our moments are flying, 
 Our time is expiring;. 
 
 We're called to improve it, and quickly prepare 
 
 For that awful hour, 
 
 When Jesus in power. 
 Will come into juigment, all states to declare t 
 
 Methinks there'll be shouting. 
 
 And I am not doubting, 
 But crying and screaming for mercy in vain ; 
 
 Therefore my dear brother, 
 
 Let's now" pray together, 
 That your precious soul may be filled with the flame; 
 
 11. Sure praying is needful, 
 I really feel awful, 
 
 I fear that my time of repentance js past : 
 
 But I'll look to my Saviour, 
 
 His mercy's forever ; 
 These storms of temptation will not always last ; 
 
[15] 
 
 I?ll look for his blessing, 
 
 And pray without ceasing ! 
 His mercy is sure unto all that believe | 
 
 My heart is now glowing, 
 
 I feel his love flowing, 
 Peace, comfort, and pardon I now do receive,*' 
 
 SONG 6. 
 
 1. I have sought round the verdant earth, for un« 
 
 fading joy, 
 
 I have tried every source of mirth, but all, all 
 will cloy ; 
 
 Lord bestow on me grace to set my spirit free^ 
 Thine, thine the praise shall be, — rniine, mine, 
 the joy. 
 
 2. I have wander'd in mazes dark, of doubt and 
 
 distress, 
 
 I have had not a kindling spark my spirit to 
 bless. 
 
 Cheerless unbelief, filPd my laboring soul with 
 grief ; 
 
 What, what shall give relief? What shall give 
 
 peace? 
 
 3. I then turned to thy gospel, Lord, from folly 
 
 away, 
 
 I then trusted thy holy word, that taught me 
 to pray, 
 
 Here I found release, weary spirit here found 
 rest, 
 
 Hope, hope of endless bliss, eternal day. 
 
 4. I will praise now my heavenly King, Til praise 
 
 and adore, 
 
[16] • 
 
 The heart's richest tribute bring to thee, God 
 of power ; 
 
 And in heaven above, sav'd by thy redeeming 
 love, 
 
 Loud, loud the strain shall move, for evermore. 
 
 SONO 7. 
 
 1. WHILE nature was sinking in stillness to rest. 
 The last beams of daylight shown dim in the 
 
 w-est. 
 
 O'er fields by pale moonlight in lonely retreat, 
 In deep meditation I wandered my feet. 
 
 2. While passing a garden, I paused to hear, 
 
 A voice faint and plaintive from one that was 
 there. 
 
 The voice of the sufferer effected my heart, 
 While pleading in anguish the poor sinner's 
 part. 
 
 3. I listened a moment, and then turn'd to see 
 Whatman of compassion this stranger might bp! 
 I saw him low kneeling upon the cold ground. 
 And felt that his anguish of soul w^as profound. 
 
 4. So deep were his sorrows, so fervent his pray- 
 
 ers. 
 
 That down on his bosom rolled sweat, blood 
 and tears ! 
 
 I wept to behold him ! — I asked him his name> 
 He answered, — ' Tis Jesus ! from Heaven I 
 came. 
 
 5. " I am thy Redeemer, — 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,'' 
 
6. How sweet was that mament he made me re- 
 
 joice. 
 
 His smile, O how pleasant, how cheering his 
 voice ; 
 
 I flew from the garden to spread it abroad, 
 I shouted salvation, and glory to God. 
 
 7. I'm now on my jom^ney to mansions above, 
 My soul's full of glory, of light, peace and 
 
 love ; 
 
 I think of the garden, the prayers and the 
 tears, 
 
 Of that loving stranger, who banished my fears. 
 
 8. The day of bright glory is rolling around, 
 When Gabriel, descending, the trumpet shall 
 
 sound ; 
 
 My soul then in rapture and glory shall rise, 
 To gaze on the stranger with unclouded eyes. 
 
 SONG 8. 
 
 The Union. 
 
 L COME, saints and sinners, hear me tell, 
 The wonders of Emanuel, 
 Who sav'd me from a burning Hell, 
 And brought my soul with him to dwell, 
 And gave me Heavenly Union. 
 
 2. When Jesus saw me from on high, 
 Behold my soul in ruin lie ; 
 He looked on me with pitying eye, 
 And said to me as he passed by 
 
 With God you have no Union. 
 B 
 
[18] 
 
 3. Then I began to weep and cry ; 
 
 I looked this way and that to fly ; 
 It grieved me sore that I must die ; 
 I strove salvation then to buy: 
 
 But still I had no Union, 
 
 4. But when I hated all my sin, 
 My dear Redeemer took me in, 
 
 And with his blood he washed me clean. 
 And O ! what seasons I have seen, 
 
 Since first I felt this Union, 
 
 5. I praised the Lord both night and day, 
 And went from house to house to pray ; 
 And if I met one on the way, 
 
 I something ahyays found to say. 
 
 About this Heavenly Union. 
 
 6. I wonder why the saints don't sing. 
 And praise the Lord upon the wing. 
 And make the Heavenly arches ring. 
 With loud hosannas to their king, 
 
 Who brought their souls to Union, 
 
 7. O ! come backsliders, come away, 
 And mind to do, as well as say ; 
 Come, learn to watch as well as pray, 
 And bear your cross from day to day, 
 
 And then you'll feel this Union, 
 
 8. We soon shall leave all things below, 
 And quit this clime of pain and wo, 
 And then w^e'll all to glory go. 
 Where we shall see, and hear and know, 
 
 And feel a perfect Union. 
 
 9. Come, Heaven and Earth, unite your lays. 
 And give to Jesus endless praise, 
 
[19] 
 
 And O ! my soul with wonder gaze, 
 He bleeds, he dies^ your debt he pays, 
 
 To give you Heavenly Union* 
 
 10. O ! that I could like Gabriel sound. 
 Salvation through the Earth around, 
 The Devil's kingdom to confound, 
 Pd triumph on Emanuel's ground, ' 
 
 And spread this glorious Union. 
 
 SONG 9. 
 
 1. HAIL the day so long expected, 
 
 Hail the year of full release ; 
 Zion's walls are'now erected, 
 
 And the watchmen publish peace* 
 From the distant courts of Zion, 
 
 Hear the trumpet loudly roar, 
 Chorus — Babylon is fallen^ is fallen^ 
 
 Babylon is fallen to rise no more. 
 
 2. Hear the people sadly crying, 
 
 While their city disappears ; 
 Trade and traffic ail are dying ; 
 
 Every eye is bathed in tears : 
 Merchants raise their lamentation, 
 
 Crying from a distant shore. 
 
 Chorus. 
 
 3. Where is now her former glory ? 
 
 Where is now her pride and show 1 
 One brief day relates the story 
 
 Of her final overthrow : 
 Raise your wailings, kings and nobles, 
 
 Priests and people, rich and poon 
 Chorus. 
 
[20] 
 
 4. Shout, ye saints 5n exultation^ 
 
 Now your en envies are slain : 
 Raise the anthen^ of salvation ; 
 
 Sing the grand millennial reign : 
 Let the universal chorus 
 
 Be repeated o'er and o'er. 
 
 Chorus^ 
 
 5. Hark the sound of many voices. 
 
 Issuing from the crystal skies ; — 
 Heaven's unnumbered host rejoices. 
 
 Swelling hallelujahs rise : 
 Hallelujah! hallelujah! 
 
 God's Almighty power adore ! 
 
 Chorus. 
 
 6. Glory^ honor, and salvation, 
 
 Cxy th' enraptured throngs again. 
 While each Elder from his station. 
 
 Shouts the long and loud amen : 
 Hall eluj ah ! hal leluj ah ! 
 
 Sounding still like thunder^s roan 
 Chorus. 
 
 mm w, 
 
 1. WHILE angels strike their tuneful strings^ 
 And veil their faces with their wings. 
 Each saint on earth sweet Jesos sings. 
 And joins to praise the King of kings. 
 
 Who saves lost souls from ruin. 
 
 2. But sinners fond of earthly toys. 
 Mock and deride v^hen saints rejoice ; 
 They shut their ears at Jesus' voice. 
 And make the world £md sin their choice, 
 
 And force their way to ruin* 
 
[21] 
 
 3. The preachers warn them night and day ; 
 For them the Christians weep and pray ; 
 But sinners laugh and turn av/ay, 
 
 And join the wicked, lewd and gay, 
 Who throng the road to ruin. 
 
 4. Oft times in visions of the night, 
 
 God doth their guilty souls affright, 
 They tremble at the awful sight ; 
 But still again vnth morning light, 
 Pursue the road to ruin; 
 
 5. Sometimes by preaching sinners see, 
 They're doomed to Hell and misery ; 
 To turn to God they then agree, 
 But O ! 'tis wicked company, 
 
 Entice their souls to ruin. 
 
 6. Oft times when nothing else will do, 
 Affliction will their danger show, 
 And bring the haughty sinners low ; 
 Then they'll repent^ and pray and vow, 
 
 But turn again to ruin. 
 
 7. When every way is tried in vain, 
 No more the spirit strives with man ; 
 But full of guilt and fear and pain. 
 Death strikes the blow, the sinner's slain, 
 
 And sinks to endless ruin. 
 
 8. O 1 sinners turn, long time you've stood. 
 Opposed to truth and all that's good : 
 You may be saved through Jesus' blood ; 
 Lay down your arms, submit to God, 
 
 And thus be saved from ruin. 
 
 9. Turn sinners, neighbors, friend or foe. 
 The terrors of the Lord we know : 
 
 O ! tell us friends what will you do ? 
 We cannot bear to let you go 
 To everlasting ruin.

 SONG II. 
 
 1. ONE day as I was walking along a lonesome 
 
 road, 
 
 My Saviour came unto me, and filled my heart 
 with love ; 
 
 He chose me for his watchman, to blow the 
 
 trumpet loud — 
 To cheer the weak believer, and to invite the 
 
 proud, 
 
 2. The cross appeared heavy— I then was in my 
 
 youth ; 
 
 O, how shall I be able to speak the words of 
 truth ? 
 
 But Christ said " Ml go with you and you may 
 fear no ill ; 
 
 Go blow the gospel trumpet, and do your mas* 
 ter's will." 
 
 3. I said unto my Saviour, **my talents are but 
 
 small, 
 
 Perhaps they will not hear me, if on them I do 
 call!" 
 
 But if they will not hear you, with you it 
 shall go well ; 
 Go bloAV the gospel trumpet, while they go 
 down to hell ! " 
 
 4. These precious words of Jesus, caused me to 
 
 mourn and weep — 
 My conscience spoke of Jonah, as he lay in 
 the deep ; 
 
 I took the cross upon me, I then began to blow; 
 I'll blow the gospel trumpet, I'll blow where'er 
 I go! 
 
 5. Come all ye blood-bought purchase, on you I 
 
 call to day. 
 
 Fall at the feet of Jesus and there begin to pray ; 
 
[23] 
 
 Sinners, if you refuse Hini, Til bid you all 
 farewell, 
 
 And blow the gospel trumpet, Avhile you go 
 down to helh 
 
 6. Behold the blood of Jesus, shed on Mount Cal- 
 vary ! 
 
 Look up, by faith, and view Him and He will 
 
 set you free ; 
 But if you do refuse Him, and disobey your 
 
 Lord, 
 
 rU blow the gospel trumpet and clear me of 
 your blood. 
 
 SONG 12. 
 
 L O ! COME, my heart and let us talk, 
 
 An evening's w^alk delighteth thee, 
 And whither do you choose, we shall take our 
 course, 
 
 To Calvary, or Gethsemane ? 
 
 2. Ah ! Calvary is a mountain high. 
 And quite too great a task for thee ; 
 
 And an evening's repose, I would far rather 
 
 choose 
 
 Than visit dear Gethsemane. 
 
 3. The mountain would not seem so high, 
 Nor yet so great a task for thee. 
 
 If you but loved the man who first laid the 
 plan 
 
 Of climbing the mountain Calvary. 
 
 4. What ! leave my companions all behind. 
 In youthful bloom to go with thee ; 
 
[24] 
 
 There's time enough yet, and the journey's not 
 
 so grea.t, 
 
 I can soon dimb the mountain Calvary, 
 
 5. Your gay companions will not do : 
 Poor blinded heart could you but see, 
 
 That if ever you do stands on Canaan's happy 
 land, 
 
 You must climb up the mountain Calvary. 
 
 6. It is a melancholy road, 
 
 Both dark and lonely unto me ; 
 
 And I have heard them say, there are lions la 
 
 the Vv^ay, 
 
 And they lurk in the mountain Calyary. 
 
 7. There is a road, a plain, beaten road, 
 Poor blinded heart, could you but see ; 
 
 And vou shall have a glij^rd, yea the angels of 
 God, 
 
 Shall travel with you to Calvary. 
 
 8. Pd rather have peace, and live at my ease ; 
 There is no pleasure there for me ; 
 When youthful days are gone, and old age 
 
 comes on, 
 I will travel with you to Calvary* 
 
 9. There is no better time than now ; 
 I travel with ease as you may see ; 
 
 For wdien youthful days are gone, and old ago 
 
 comes on, 
 Can you climb the mountain Calvary ? 
 
 10. O ! hark, I hear a doleful sound ; 
 Awake, awake, your danger see ; 
 A blooming youth is gone, and is laid in the . 
 tomb, 
 
 Who refused to climb up Calvary. 
 
[25] 
 
 11. O ! conscience, do not urge so hard,- 
 No peace can I enjoy for thee ; 
 Now it is more than you do know^ whether" 
 
 this youth did go, 
 To happiness or misery. 
 
 13. Alas ! I know not what to do, 
 A dread alarm hath fe'e'ized. me ; 
 In sin I've gone on, Pm afraid Pm undone^ 
 O ! help me to climb up Calvary. 
 
 13. P ! tarry not in all the plains. 
 Eternal vengeance threatens thee ; 
 But look upon the Lamb, who was slain for 
 
 your sins. 
 He will help you to climb up Calvary, 
 
 SONG 13. 
 
 1. GOME brethren, ye that love the Lord, and 
 
 listen to my story. 
 Believe it is a true record, I saw it plain before 
 me; 
 
 For many years I lived in sin, and went on in 
 rebellion, 
 
 But my danger often seen, the truth to you 
 Pm telling. 
 
 2. It was at an early age in years, the Lord did 
 
 invite me. 
 
 My soul was filled with many fears, but Satan 
 
 did delight me ; 
 He told me that I was too young to leave my 
 
 worldly pleasure. 
 That I might live till I was old, and serv^e God 
 
 at my leisure. 
 
 3. Thus I obeyed the serpent's voice, and sinned 
 
 with all my power ; 
 To do his w^ill was my choice, although a 
 dreadful tour. 
 
[261 
 
 The more I sinned against the Lord, the mot6 
 
 it still inclined me, 
 To trample on a preached word, and ca^ it all 
 
 behind me^ 
 
 4. The devil then began afresh, and tempted me 
 
 still stronger ; 
 My soul was led by filthy flesh — served him 
 
 sometime longer. 
 At length the spirit came one day, and smote 
 
 with might and power, 
 Which caused me to forsake my w^ay and 
 
 tremble every hour. 
 
 5. I then began to look about to see what Pd 
 
 been doing : 
 I saw that I was working out my own eternal 
 ruin — 
 
 I then began to cry aloud, saying Lord Jesus 
 save me. 
 
 If mercy Thou canst me afford, and to thy 
 
 glory raise me» 
 
 6. My soul w^as filled with awfulness, my heart 
 1 was filled with sorrow. 
 
 To think Pd sinned so many years, and would 
 
 not Jesus follow. 
 1 then again did cry aloud, I plainly saw my 
 
 danger. 
 
 That I was going with the crowd, that was to 
 God a stranger. 
 
 7. I then began to seek the Lord, and cry to Him 
 
 for favor ; 
 
 But Satan then my soul disturbed, saying you 
 have no Saviour. 
 
[27] 
 
 Your day of grace you've sinned away, too 
 
 late for your repentance, 
 He will not hear you when you pray, for you 
 
 there's no relentance. 
 
 8. I then began to read and pray, saying Lord , 
 
 Jesus teach me. 
 If my day of grace I've sinned away what 
 
 makes me want to seek Thee ? 
 My soul was filled with tenderness— the devil 
 
 is a liar ; 
 
 I felt in me a little breeze, it kindled like a fire, 
 
 9, I then began to watch and pray, and pleading 
 
 for the blessing, 
 I could not rest by night nor day, niy pain was 
 
 so distressing ; 
 My companions, I forsook them all— to me 
 
 they were no pleasure ; 
 When passing by they'd often call and grieve 
 
 me out of measure. 
 
 10. The devil raised his army strong, and sorely 
 
 did pursue me — 
 Before I had my armor on, he'd liked to have 
 
 o'erthrown me ; 
 Saying, you are out of your head, for you are 
 
 deserting ; 
 
 I told him that I was not mad, but from my 
 sins was parting. 
 
 JL I then again did cry aloud, saying Lord Jesus 
 keep me, 
 
 And keep me safe fi'om Satan's crowd, for 
 
 sorely do they tempt me. 
 For he has raised the hosts of hell, my poor 
 
 soul to devour ; 
 They say that I shall ne'er do well — I trust 
 
 Lord, in thy power. 
 
[28] 
 
 12. When Jesirs heard the rebel call, he showed 
 
 his kind compassion, 
 
 Down at his feet my soul did fall, while plead- 
 ing for salvation ; 
 
 My soul was filled with inward joy, my heart 
 was filled with praises. 
 
 And Abba Father did I cry, and glory to my 
 Jesus, 
 
 13. Glory, to God, for I have found the pearl of 
 
 my salvation, 
 I'm niarching through Emanuel's ground, up to 
 
 my heavenly station. 
 Now rnn resolvgd to serve the Lord, and itev- 
 
 er to forsake him, 
 But always walk the narrow road till I do 
 
 overtake him*. 
 
 14. For Christ says, fear not, little flock — -heirs of 
 
 immortal glory, 
 You are established on the rock, the kingdom 
 
 lies before you ; 
 Press on, press on, ye heirs of grace, and tell; 
 
 the pleasing story, 
 I'm with my little flock always---I lead them 
 
 on to glory. 
 
 SONG 14. 
 
 I. AWAK'D by Sinai's awful sound. 
 My soul in guilt and thrall I found, 
 
 And knew not where to go : 
 O'erwhelmed with guilt, with anguish slain, 
 The sinner must be born again, 
 
 Or sink ill endless wo. 
 
[29] 
 
 Ama-zed, I stood and could not tell, 
 Which way to shun the gates of Hell, 
 
 (For Death and Hell drew near;) 
 I strove hideed, but strove in vain: 
 The sinner must be born again, 
 
 Still sounded in my ear, 
 
 3, When to the law I trembling fled 5 
 It poured its curses on my head, 
 
 I no relief could find ; 
 This truth renewing all my pain, 
 / The sinner must be born again, 
 
 O'^rwhelmed my tortured mind. 
 
 4, Again did Sinai's thunder roll, 
 And guilt lay fieavy on my soul, 
 
 A vast and ponderous load ! 
 Aiasl I read and saw it plain, 
 The sinner must be born again, 
 
 Or drink the wrath of God. 
 
 .5, Though oft I heard the preachers tell. 
 How Jesus conquered death and Hell, 
 
 And broke the fowler's snare ; 
 Yet still I found this truth remain, 
 The sinner must be born again. 
 
 Or sink in deep despair. 
 
 6. But while I thus in anguish lay, 
 Jesus of Nazareth passed that way, 
 
 And felt his pity move : 
 Although I might be justly slain. 
 He spoke and I was born again. 
 
 And sung redeeming love, 
 
 7, To Heaven the joyful tidings flew ; 
 The angels tuned their harps anew, 
 
 And loftier notes did raise ; 
 C 
 
[30] 
 
 All hail ! the lamb that once was slain, 
 For millions that are born again, 
 
 We'll shout an endless praise. 
 
 SONG 15. 
 
 1. IN evil long I took delight, 
 
 Unawed by shame or fear, 
 Till a new object struck my sight, 
 And stopped my wild career. 
 
 2. I saw one hanging on a tree,. 
 
 In agonies and blood, 
 Who iixed his languid eyes on me, 
 As near his cross I stood, 
 
 3. Sure never till my latest breath 
 
 Can I forget that look : 
 It seemed to charge me with his death, 
 Though not a word he spoke. 
 
 4. My conscience felt, and owned the guilt, 
 
 And plunged me in despair : 
 I saw my sins his blood had spilt. 
 And helped to nail him there. 
 
 5. Alas ! I knew not what I did ; 
 
 But now my tears are vain : 
 Where shall my trembling soul be hid f 
 For I the Lord have slain. 
 
 6. A second look he gave, which said, 
 
 " I freely all forgive : 
 This blood is for thy ransom paid ; 
 I die, that thou may'st live." 
 
[31] 
 
 7<, Thus, while his death my sin displ-ay-s 
 In dl its blackest hue, 
 (Such is the mystery of grace) 
 It seals my pardon too. 
 
 8. With pleasing grief and mournful joy 
 My spirit now is filled, 
 That I should such a life destroy^ 
 Yet live by him I killed. 
 
 SONG 16. 
 
 1. SINNER, art thou still secure ? 
 
 Wilt thou still refuse to pray ? 
 Can thy heart or hands endure 
 
 In the Lord's avenging day ? 
 See, his mighty arm is bared ! 
 
 Awful terrors clothe his brow 1 
 For his judgment stand prepared ; 
 
 Thou must either break or bow. 
 
 2. At his presence nature shakes, 
 
 Earth affrighted hastes to flee^ 
 Solid mountains melt like wax. 
 
 What will then become of thee ? 
 Who his advent may abide ? 
 
 You that glory in your shame. 
 Will you find a place to hide 
 
 When the world is wrapped in flame ? 
 
 3. Then the rich, the great, the wise, 
 
 Trembling, guilty, self-condemned, 
 Must behold the wrathful eyes 
 
 Of the Judge they once blasphemed ; 
 
[3Sj 
 
 Where are now their haughty looks t 
 O ! their horror and despair ! 
 
 When they see the opened books, 
 And their dreadful sentence hear I 
 
 4. Lord prepare us by thy grace F 
 
 Soon we must resign our breath ? 
 And our souls be called to pass 
 
 Through the iron gate c^f death : 
 Let us now our days improve^ 
 
 Listen to the gospel voice^ 
 Seek the things that are above, 
 
 Scorn the world^s pretended joys. 
 
 5. O! when flesh and heart shall fail^ 
 
 Let thy love our spirits cheer ; 
 Strengthened thus we shall prevail 
 
 Over Satan, sin and fear : 
 Trusting in thy precious name. 
 
 May we thus our journey end ; 
 Then our foes shall lose their aim, 
 
 And the Judge will be our friends. 
 
 SONG n. 
 
 L WHAT voice is this, is this sounds from the 
 skies ? 
 
 Tell me now, tell me now : 
 Which saith to all, to all it saith arise; 
 
 Tell me now, tell me now ; 
 The day of mercy now is come, 
 And Jesus calls poor sinners home, 
 And in his mercy there is room. 
 
 Now believe, now believe. 
 
[53] 
 
 2. Whafs this I feel, I feel within my breast? 
 
 Tell me now, tell me now : 
 That will not let, not let me take my rest ; 
 
 Tell me now, tell me now : 
 ' Tis Jesus Christ your dying Lord, 
 Calls by his spirit and his word ; 
 A better time he'll ne'er afford : 
 
 Now believe, now believe. 
 
 3. See there he hangs, he hangs upon the tree i 
 
 Look at him, look at him : 
 What love revealed, revealed for you and me ; 
 Look at him, look at him : 
 / For you he died upon the cross, 
 And every sinner that was lost ; 
 Our life his precious blood hath cost: 
 Now believe, now believe* 
 
 4. And hath my Lord, my Lord and Saviour died ? 
 
 Tell me now, tell me now : 
 And may I now, I now be justified? 
 
 Tell me now, tell me now ; 
 See there his arms extended wide, 
 And pardon flowing from his side^ 
 Believe and thou art justified : 
 
 Now believe, now believe^ 
 
 5. I do believe, believe and feel him near: 
 
 I can praise, I can praise: 
 My doubts are gone, are gone I have no fear ; 
 
 I can praise, I can praise : 
 What rapturous joy within my breast, 
 Since by my Jesus I am blest. 
 Come all the world he'll give you restr 
 
 I believe, I believe. 
 
 6. O that my Lord, my Lord would count me meet 
 
 And I'll praise, and Til praise : 
 C2 
 
[34] 
 
 To wash his dear, his dear disciples' feet | 
 
 And I'll praise, and I'll praise^ 
 I'll praise His name above the sky, 
 And when my soul is lodged on high, 
 Throughout a vast eternity, 
 
 Sound his praise, sound his praise* 
 
 mm 18, 
 
 1. SEE how the scriptures are fulfilling f 
 
 Poor sinners are returning home ; 
 The time that prophets were foretelling, 
 
 With signs and wonders now has come. 
 The gospel trumpets now are roaring, 
 
 From sea to sea, from land to land ; 
 God's holy spirit down is pouring, 
 
 And christian's joining heart and hand. 
 
 2. Ten thousands fall before Jehovah t 
 
 For mercy, mercy loud they cry; 
 They raise a shouting hallelujah, 
 
 All glory be to God on high. 
 But many cry, 'tis all disorder. 
 
 And disbelieve God's holy word ; 
 This makes them cry and shout the louder, 
 
 All glory, glory to the Lord. 
 
 8. O ! sinners hear our invitation i 
 
 You are but feeble dying worms : 
 O I fly to Jesus for salvation, 
 
 Or you will meet God's awful storms. 
 We charge you all in name of Jesus, 
 
 The awful Judge of quick and dead; 
 But if you should refuse to hear us, 
 
 Your blood shall be upon your head. 
 
4. Now God is calling ev'ry nation. 
 
 The bond and free, the rich and poor ; 
 These are the days of visitation ; 
 
 Sweet gospel grace will soon be o'er. 
 The Lord shall come, all clothed in thunder, 
 
 And lightening streaming from his eyes ; 
 O ! then he'll cut his foes asunder, 
 
 And lay them where the damned lies* 
 
 5. The sun affrighted from his centre, 
 
 Envelop'd in a western cloud ; 
 The stars to shine now dare not venture j 
 
 Pale Phoebus clothed in scarlet shroud* 
 The sea and land together burning, 
 
 The flames ascend the melting sky ; 
 All nature now to naught returning, 
 
 Hark ! hark ! the herald angels cry. 
 
 6. Rise, Zion, rise in brilliant glory, 
 
 And march toward the judgment seat ; 
 Now hearken to the pleasant story, 
 
 When Jesus and his bride shall meet. 
 With smiling looks of approbation, 
 
 Invites her to his lovely arms ; 
 And she is filled with transportation, 
 
 Dissolved in his heavenly charms. 
 
 7. Their lovely spirits harmonizing. 
 
 In all the sw^eets of perfect love ; 
 Meanwhile a gloomy cloud arising, 
 
 And seemed tovv^ard the bar to move. 
 See millions of poor wretched creatures, 
 
 Compelled by justice to appear ; 
 Deep horror painted all their features, 
 
 And colored them v/ith black despair. 
 
 8. Hideous cries and lamentations, 
 
 But no relief can there be found ; 
 
[36] 
 
 The Judge pronounces condemnation, 
 And seven thunders echo round. 
 
 Down to the lake of burnins: fire, 
 And never more my face to see ; 
 
 You're bound to bear my dreadful ire. 
 And blow the flames eternally. 
 
 9. Now devils drag them down the centre, 
 
 Into the gulph of burning wo ; 
 Poor wretches ! how they dread to enter, 
 
 But forced by vengeance, down they go. 
 Now they are paid for persecuting 
 
 And opposing the work of God ; 
 For all the time they spent disputing, 
 
 And trampling on a Saviour's blood. 
 
 10. O ! Christians double yoiir diligence ; 
 
 With courage march the heavenly road ; 
 Rem.ember this, that double vengeance, 
 
 Will fail on those that turn from God. 
 Your children all must be converted, 
 
 Or they can never rest with you ; 
 God's word cannot be controverted ; 
 
 God bless you all — -Amen — Adieu. 
 
 mm 19. 
 
 1. LOW down in that beautiful valley, 
 Where love crowns the meek and the lowly ; 
 Where no storms of envy or folly, 
 
 Can find out this region of love, 
 
 2. The low soul in humble subjection, 
 Shall there find unshaken protection ; 
 The soft gale of cheering reflection, 
 
 The mind soothes from sorrow and pain. 
 
3. This low vale is far from contention, 
 Where no soul can dream of dissention ( 
 Where no dark wiles of evil invention, 
 
 Can find out this region of love. 
 
 4. O, there, there, the Lord will deliver, 
 And souls drink of that beautiful river. 
 Which flows peace forever and ever, 
 
 And love and joy will ever increase^ 
 
 5. O, there, there, in yonder bright glory, 
 We'll sing, and shout, and tell the glad story ; 
 When we have crossed bold Jordan quite over. 
 
 We'll shout hallelujah to God and the Lamk 
 
 6. O, this is a cheering reflection. 
 
 We all shall rise in the first resurrection ; 
 And be in our Father's protection, 
 
 Forever and ever. Amen, Amen* 
 
 SONG 
 
 1. COME all ye mourning pilgrims who feel your 
 
 need of Christ, 
 Exposed to sore temptations and by the world 
 
 despised : 
 
 Attend to what I tell you ; my exercise I'll 
 shew ; 
 
 And then you may inform me if it is thus with 
 you. 
 
 2. Long time I walked in darkness, nor knew my 
 
 dangerous state ; 
 And when I was awakened I feared it was too 
 late I 
 
[38] 
 
 A vile and helpless sinner myself 1 plainly saw^ 
 Exposed to God's displeasure, condemned by 
 his law* 
 
 3. I thought the brute creation were better far 
 than me ; 
 
 I spent my days in anguish no comfort could I 
 see ; 
 
 Through deep distress and sorrow my Saviour 
 led me oUj 
 
 And granted me his favour when hope was 
 almost gone. 
 
 4 When first I found deliverance I scarcely could 
 believe 
 
 That such a wretched sinner a pardon could 
 receive: 
 
 And though his solemn praises were flowing 
 
 from my tongue^ 
 Yet feai-s were still injected that yet I might 
 
 wrong* . 
 
 5. But soon my fears were banished and tears 
 
 began to flow, 
 To think one so unworthy should be beloved so; 
 I thought my sorrows over, and every trouble 
 
 gone; 
 
 That love and peace and pleasure would be my 
 lot alone, 
 
 6. But soon I found a warfare which often 
 
 brought me low ; 
 The world, the flesh, and satan do since beset 
 me so : 
 
 Can one who is a Christian have such a heart 
 as mine ? 
 
 I fear I never yet felt the force of truth divine. 
 
[39] 
 
 7. I often find I'm backward to do my master's 
 will, 
 
 Or else I want the glory if aught I do 
 fulfil ; 
 
 In duties I am weak, and, alas I I often 
 find 
 
 A hard deceitful heart and a wretched wan- 
 derins; mind. 
 
 8. When I behold young converts how fast they 
 travel on I 
 
 How shining their example ; their witness like 
 the sun ! 
 
 How bold they speak for Jesus ; how dear they 
 love his name ; 
 ' Though in them I delight, yet they fill nqiy soul 
 with shame. 
 
 9. Sure others do not feel what is often felt hj 
 me ; 
 
 Such troubles and temptations perhaps they 
 never see ; 
 
 For once the chief of sinners, I freely own 
 with Paul, 
 
 That if I am a saint, sure I am the least of 
 all 
 
 JO. And now I have related the trials I have 
 seen ; 
 
 Perhaps my brethren know what such sore 
 
 temptations mean : 
 I tell you of my conflicts, believe me, friends, 
 
 'tis true ; 
 
 And now, you may inform me, if it so with 
 you. 
 
[40] 
 
 SONG 21. 
 
 1. PRECIOUS soul, while Jesus calls thee, 
 
 Rise and follow his command ; 
 Rise and leave your sin and folly ; 
 
 Flee to Christ, the sinner's friend. 
 Hear his heralds loudly sounding 
 
 Free salvation in His name — 
 Pard'ning grace and love abounding, 
 
 Through the nierits of the Lamb, 
 
 % See the vernal bloom appearing ! 
 
 Heavenly spring is drawing near; 
 Carnal souls the tidings hearing ; 
 
 On them fruits of grace appear! 
 Some who bold in persecution, 
 
 Once despised a Saviour's blood, 
 Now through grace obtain salvation- — 
 
 Love and praise a pardoning God, 
 
 3. Gentle breezes fan the garden ; 
 
 Lo ! the spices sweetly flow; 
 Old professors almost hardened 
 
 Precious fruits of grace do show. 
 Every power is in exertion 
 
 To extol the Saviour's name ; 
 Almost like a new conversion, 
 
 Love has set their hearts on flame, 
 
 4. Jarring, discord, disputation 
 
 Hide their black detested face ; 
 Love without dissimulation 
 
 Marks the subjects of free grace. 
 Now for forms no more contending, 
 
 Love and peace alone we see ; 
 Precious souls in Jesus blending, 
 
 Join in love and sympathy. 
 
[41] 
 
 6. Sinners through the camp are falling, 
 
 Deep distress their souls pervade ; 
 Wondering why they are not rolling 
 
 In the dark infernal shade. 
 Grace and mercy long neglected, 
 
 Now they ardently implore ; 
 In an hour when least expected 
 
 Jesus bids them weep no more. 
 
 6. Hear them, then, their God extolling, 
 
 Tell the wonders he has done ! 
 While they rise see others falling ! 
 
 Light into their hearts hath shone. 
 Prayer, and praise and exhortation 
 
 Blend in one perpetual sound : 
 Music sweet beyond expression, 
 
 To rejoicing saints around, 
 
 7. Some, alas, are still despising, 
 
 Though professing Jesus' name : 
 Envy in their hearts is rising, 
 
 Fain they'd quench the holy flame. 
 Give them, Lord, a full possession ; 
 
 Give them, Lord, a lot of love ! 
 By a glorious new creation. 
 
 Fit them for the realms above. 
 
 SOxNG 22. 
 
 1. YE people who wonder at^me and my ways, 
 And with much astonishment at me do gaze ; 
 Come lend me your attention, and I will relate 
 My past exercises and my present state. 
 
[42] 
 
 2. The people I follow I once did despise, 
 And often, lik^ you, gazed on them with sur- 
 prise : 
 
 I gazed with a mixture of pride and disdain ; 
 But still from their meetings I could not refrain. 
 
 3. I often would jest at their cries and their groans, 
 Though sometimes in secret I'd tremble and 
 
 mourn : 
 
 Their singing and praising gave me much of- 
 fence : 
 
 I thought it delusion, or naught but pretence, 
 
 4^ I often determined to hear them no more, 
 But still on occasions, would go as before ; 
 And though persecuting, I stiil would return-— 
 Till the sparks of conviction began to burn, 
 
 5. The word clothed with power at last reached 
 
 my heart : 
 
 (I sat under preaching and there felt the dart) 
 I strove to conceal it, bat soon found it vain — 
 To pray, weep and tremble, it did me constrain, 
 
 6. I sunk dov/n in sorrow, so deep my distress, 
 I lay for some hours, almost motionless ; 
 Till Jesus in mercy, his love did reveal : 
 
 A v/onder, a wonder, O, how did I feel ! 
 
 7. My burden of sorrow removed and gone, 
 My spirit was peaceful, my soul was serene; 
 I stood up and praised him without dread or 
 
 fear ; 
 
 Nor did I regard though the world had been 
 there. 
 
 8. Though weak and despised, by faith now I 
 
 stand. 
 
 Preserved and supported by Heaven's kind handi 
 
[43] 
 
 In Christ thus supported Pll praise his dear 
 
 name, 
 
 Regardless of censure, of praise, or of blame. 
 
 9. My friends may despise me, or foes ridicule, 
 The saints of this world may esteem me a fool ; 
 But all their attempts will be fruitless and vain, 
 For Jesus has bless'd me, and Pll praise his 
 name. 
 
 SONCJ 23. - 
 
 1. HARK, brethren, don't you hear the sound? 
 
 The martial trumpets now are blowing ; 
 'Men in orders listing round. 
 
 And soldiers to the standard flowing, 
 Bounty offered, joy and peace— 
 
 To every soldier this is given ; 
 When from toils of war they cease, 
 
 A mansion bright prepared in Heaven. 
 
 2. Those who long in dabt have laid, 
 
 And felt the hand of dire oppression, 
 All their debts are freely paid, 
 
 And they endowed with large possessions ; 
 Those who're sick or blind or lame, 
 
 Their maladies are also healed ; 
 Out-lawed rebels when they come, 
 
 Receive a pardon freely sealed. 
 
 3. The battle is not to the strong. 
 
 The burden's on our Captain's shoulder; 
 None so aged or so young, 
 
 But he may list and be a soldier. 
 Those who cannot fight or fly. 
 
 Beneath his banner find protection ; 
 
[44] 
 
 None who on his name rely, 
 
 Shall be reduced to base subjection, 
 
 4. You need not fear, the cause is good ; 
 
 Come, who will to the crown aspire ? 
 In this cause the martyrs bled, 
 
 Or shouted victory in the fire. 
 In this cause let^s follow on, 
 
 And soon we'll tell the pleasing story. 
 How by faith we gained tiie crown, 
 
 And fought our w^ay to life and glory. 
 
 5. The battle, brethren, is begun ; 
 
 Behold the army now in motion ! 
 Some by faith, behold the crown. 
 
 And a^lmost grasp their future portion. 
 Hark! the victors singing loud, 
 
 EmanuePs chariot wheels are rumbling ; 
 Mourners weeping through the crowd. 
 
 And Satan's kingdom down is tumbling. 
 
 6. Hark ! ye rebels come and list, 
 
 The othcers are now recruiting ; 
 Why \Yi\] you in sin persist, 
 
 Or spend your time in vain disputing ? 
 All your cavil sure is vain. 
 
 For if you do not sue for favor, 
 Down you'll sink to endless pain. 
 
 To bear the wrath of God forever. 
 
 SONG 24, 
 
 1. JESUS, I my cross have taken. 
 All to leave, and follow thee ; 
 Naked, poor, despised, forsaken, 
 Thou from hence my all shall be ; 
 
[45} 
 
 Peilrfi ayery fond ambition, 
 
 All I've sought, or hoped, or known^ 
 Yet how rich is my condition, 
 
 God and heaven are still my own. 
 
 2. Let the world despise and leave me~ 
 
 They have left my Saviour too; 
 Human hearts and looks deceive me — 
 
 Thou art not like them untrue ; 
 And whilst thou ehalt smile upon me, 
 
 God of wisdom, love and might, 
 Foes may hate, and friends disown me — 
 
 Show thy face, and all is bright. 
 
 3. Go, then earthly fame and treasure. 
 
 Come disaster, scorn, and pain ; 
 
 In thy service pain is pleasure. 
 With thy favour loss is gain : 
 
 I have called thee Abba Father, 
 I have set my heart on thee ; 
 
 Storms may howl, and clouds may gather- 
 All must work for good to me, 
 
 4. Man may trouble and distress me, 
 
 ' Twill but drive me to thy breast ; 
 Life with trials hard may press me, 
 
 HeaVen will give me sweeter rest : 
 Oh I 'tis not in grief to harm me, 
 
 While thy love is left to me ; 
 And 'twere not in joy to charm me. 
 
 Were that joy unmixed with thee, 
 
 5. Soul then know thy full salvation — - 
 
 Rise o'er sin, and fear and care ; 
 Joy to find in every station, 
 
 Something still to do or bear : 
 Think what spirit dwells within thee — - 
 
 Think what Father's smiles are thine ; 
 D2 
 
[46] 
 
 Think that Jesus, died to win thee ; 
 Cliild of heaven I canst thou repine? 
 
 6, Haste thee on from grace to glory,. 
 
 Armed by faith, and winged hy prayer — - 
 Heaven's eternal day^s before' theCj 
 
 God's ovn-i hand shall guide thee there t 
 Soon shall close thy eai'thly mission, 
 
 Soon shall pass thy pilgrim da^ys ; 
 Hope shall change to glad fruition, 
 
 Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. 
 
 SONS 25. 
 
 1. COME and taste along with me^- 
 
 The weary pilgrim's consolation ; 
 Boundless mercy, full and free, 
 
 The earnest of complete salvation. 
 Joy and peace in Christ I find ; 
 
 My heart to him is all resigned ; 
 The fulness of his power I prove, 
 
 And all my soul dissolves in love* 
 Jesus is the pilgrim's portion — 
 
 Love is boundless like the ocean. * 
 
 2. When the w^orld or flesh would rise, 
 
 And strive to draw me from my Saviour ; 
 Strangers slight, or friends despise, 
 
 I then more highly prize his favor. 
 Friends believe me when I tell, 
 
 If Christ is present all is well ; 
 The world and flesh in vain arise, 
 
 I all their efforts can despise. 
 In this world I've tribulation. 
 
 But in Christ sweet consolation. 
 
[47] 
 
 3. When Pm in the house of prayer, 
 
 I find him in the congregation ; 
 Music sweet unto my ear,, 
 
 Is the glad sound of free salvation. 
 When I join to sing his praise, 
 
 My heart in holy raptures raise, 
 I view Emanuel's land afar,. 
 
 And shout and wish my spirit there ; 
 Glory, honor, and salvation, 
 
 What I feel is past expression. 
 
 4. Worldlings hold me in disdain, 
 
 Because I shun their carnal pleasures ; 
 All in this that gives rne pain 
 
 Is that they slight a nobler treasure : 
 Still amongst them — bless the Lord ! 
 
 There are some v\^ho tremble at his word. 
 And this great joy to me imparts. 
 
 To think the Lord has reached their hearts ; 
 
 0 ! the grace to sinners given ! 
 
 Peace on earth and crowns in heaven, 
 
 5. When I hear the pleasing sound 
 
 Of weeping mourners just converted. 
 The dead's alive, the lost is found, 
 
 The Lord has healed the broken hearted. 
 My heart exults, my spirits glow, 
 
 I love my God and brethren so, 
 
 1 join and shout and sing aloud. 
 And disregard the gazing crowd ; 
 
 Glorious theme of exultation, 
 Jesus Christ is my salvation. 
 
 6. Why should I regard the frowns 
 
 Of those who mock, deride or slight me, 
 Soon I'll lie beneath the ground. 
 
 Beyond the reach of those who hate me : 
 
[43] 
 
 Sorrows, tofls, and sufferings o*er, 
 I'll gain the blissful, happy shore, 
 
 And then with shining host*^above, 
 Pll shout and sing redeeming love ; 
 
 Pleasures there beyond expression, 
 Ever roll in sweet succession. 
 
 7. Mourners see your Saviour stands 
 
 With arms expanded to receive you ; 
 See he spreads his bleeding hands ! 
 
 Come, venture on him, he'll relieve you; 
 Cast your fears and doubts aside ; 
 
 The door of mercy's open wide ; 
 The fountain flows that saves from sin^ 
 
 Come, now believe and enter in. 
 Don't distrust your blessed Saviour ; 
 
 Now believe, and live forever, 
 
 8. Sinners, you may mock and scorn : 
 
 Your moments lost will be lamented ; 
 Aw^ful days are hastening on 
 
 When you will wish you had repented* 
 Death in his embraces cold 
 
 Will soon your mortal body hold ; 
 Your pleasures then will take their flight, 
 
 And down you'll sink to endless night. 
 While you're of the guilty number, 
 
 Your destruction does not slumber, 
 
 9. Fellow sinner go with me, 
 
 My heart's enlarged to receive you, 
 Slight not mercy offered free, 
 
 But come to Jesus, he'll relieve you. 
 But if you offered grace refuse, 
 
 And will destruction ever choose — 
 Unhappy soul, your guilt and blood 
 
 Must rest upon your wretched head. 
 Darkness, tormant, pain and sorrow. 
 
 May be yours before to-morrow.

 SONG 2§. 
 
 1. I LONG to see the seasons come, 
 When sinners shall come flocking home ; 
 To taste the heaven of Jesus' love, 
 And seek the joys which are above. 
 
 2. Hark ! how the glorious gospel sounds 
 Inviting sinners all around ; 
 
 Behold your loving Saviour stands, 
 And spreads for you his bleeding hands. 
 
 3. He now is knocking at your heart, 
 \y"aiting salvation to impart- 
 To wash you in atoning blood, 
 And seal you heu's and sons of God. 
 
 4. A few more days and you must go, 
 To realms -of joy, or endless wo ; 
 
 In worlds of bliss with Christ to dwell, 
 Or sink beneath his frowns to Hell. 
 
 5. Come then, dear sinners, counsel take, 
 And all your sinful ways forsake ; 
 
 This Vv^orld give o'er, leave friends behind ; 
 In Christ you shall redemption find. 
 
 6. Take your companion by the hand, 
 And all your children in one band. 
 And give them up at Jesus' call, 
 To pardon, bless, and save them all, 
 
 7. Then when the day of Christ shall come, 
 And he collects his jewels home. 
 
 On Zion's mount you there shall stand 
 And join the bright, celestial band. 
 
 8. O ! what a glorious company ! 
 May I be there the sight to see, 
 
[50] 
 
 And join in praise to Jesus' name — 
 All glorious in Jerusalem, 
 
 SONG 27. 
 
 1. WHEN Christ the Lord was here below, 
 About the work he came to do, 
 
 Before he left this little band, 
 
 He gave to them his great command. 
 
 2. Though fishing Peter leads the way, 
 And nothing caught till break of day, 
 To give them food thus Jesus stands. 
 And says to Peter, "feed my Lambs." 
 
 3. Thomas was of a doubting mind. 
 Yet Jesus leaves him not behind : 
 
 " Thomas," said he, " behold my hands, 
 And Simon Peter, feed my Lambs," 
 
 4. Though men and devils all unite, 
 And earthly comforts fail us quite. 
 The promises of Jesus stand. 
 
 To free our souls from Satan's band. 
 
 5. O ! little children do not fear. 
 While Christ your Saviour is so near ; 
 Poor, doubting souls are in his hands, 
 And precious food for all his Lambs. 
 
 6. Peter did once deny his Lord, 
 By not attending to his word ; 
 But Jesus knew how^ frail was man, 
 And said to Peter " feed my Lambs," 
 
[51] 
 
 7. The richest feast is yet above, 
 In the enjoyment of his love ; 
 So run to Christ .with all your might, 
 And I will try to keep in sight. 
 
 SONIJ 2S. 
 
 1. POOR Zion lies in sore distress, 
 
 Her walls are broken down ; 
 The briers of the wilderness, 
 
 /Her walks have overgrown. 
 Her palaces are desolate, 
 
 Her Qourt's a place for owls ; 
 The Satyr there doth meet his mate, 
 
 And nest for other fowls. 
 
 2. A dreadful curse hath overspread 
 
 The land both far and wide ; 
 The nations mourn for lack of bread ; 
 
 The springs of water dried. 
 Go, go ye priests before the Lord, 
 
 And at his altar mourn ; 
 That he may sheath his dreadful sword, 
 
 And let his grace return.

 Sweet spring is drawing near ; 
 The voice of the sweet turtle dove, 
 
 The land begins to cheer, 
 Methinks I hear the watchmen cry, 
 
 O ! Zion now be bold — 
 With eagle's wings you soon shall fly, 
 
 Tho feathers tinged with gold.

 4. Your walls again shall be rebuilt, 
 
 Your palaces around ; 
 The Lord, who has removed your guilt, 
 
 Doth rich in grace abound. 
 He'll pave your streets with purest gold, 
 
 Your gates with diamonds bright ; 
 Your riches never can be told, 
 
 You are the Lord's delight, 
 
 5. Princes shall feed your flocks and keep 
 
 With tender care the lambs ; 
 They'll safely lead the older sheep^ 
 
 And number all their names. 
 The Lord's your everlasting light ; 
 
 Your m.ourninf^ days are past ; 
 Your city is the Lord's delight, 
 
 And shall no more be waste, 
 
 6. Your mountains shall with honey flow, 
 
 The hills vnth milk and wine ; 
 The vallies full of corn shall grow, 
 
 And pastures full of kine. 
 My glory shall your reward be ; ' 
 
 I will before you go, 
 Until you come my face to see, 
 
 And all my goodness know. 
 
 7. My signs in Heaven you -shall see, 
 
 And hear my trumpets blow ; 
 The sun and moon shall darkened be ; 
 
 By this you all may know 
 The year of my redeemed is come, 
 
 To set poor Zion free : 
 Return, return, ye exiles home, 
 
 It is the jubilee. 
 
 8. My lightning round the world shall fly. 
 
 While rumbling thunders roll ;

 But yon shall mount the melting sky 
 And gain the happy goal —

 Yoar blazing harp3 shall ring; 
 
 The Lamb that wa^ on Calvary slain. 
 Shall sound from every string.

 Till Jesus made me whole ! 
 There is but one Physician, 
 
 Can cure a sin-sick soul [ 
 Next door to death he found me. 
 
 And snatched me from the grave> 
 To tell to all around me, 
 
 His wondrous power to save. 
 
 2. The worst of all diseases 
 
 Is light, compared with sin ; 
 On every part it seizes. 
 
 But rages most within : 
 ' Tis palsy, plague and fever, 
 
 And madness all combined ; 
 And none but a believer 
 
 The least relief can find, 
 
 3. From men great skill professing 
 
 I thought a cure to gain ; 
 
[55] 
 
 But this proved more distressingt 
 And added to my pain : 
 
 Some said that nothing ailed me, 
 Some gave me up for lost ; 
 
 Thus every refuge failed me, 
 And all my hopes w^ere crossed. 
 
 4. At length this great Physicians, 
 
 How matchless is his grace ! 
 Accepted my petition. 
 
 And undertook my case ; 
 First gave me sight to view him^ 
 
 For sin my eyes had sealed ; 
 Then bid me look unto him ; 
 
 I looked and I was healed.

 And brought my soul to light.

 Without one spark of hope, 
 Though inexpressible your pains,

 Black Jordan's billows roar ; 
 Which often makes the pilgrims fear. 
 
 They never will get o'er.

 To fright our souls may Jordan roar. 
 
 And Hell may rage in vain*

 In one eternal day.

 In ocean's of eternal bliss, 
 
 Where parting is no more*

 Before the sun spread forth his light,

 Forsake his throne to lie in hay : 
 Of woman born, enrobed in clay, 
 In Mary's arms the infant lay, 
 
 To the cold world a stranger? 
 
 3. On the same night, a glorious sight. 
 Of holy angel's stretched in flight, 
 Descending from the worlds of iight^ 
 
 To shepherds they appeared. 
 With great astonishment they viewed 
 The royal messengers of God 
 Extend their golden wings abroad. 
 As they came down the starry road, 
 In shining ranks around them stood, 
 
 The joyful naw3 declared.

 Of David's line a Saviour's born :

 His name is King Emanuel, 
 And able to do all things well, 
 His Father's broken laws fulfil, 
 
 And seal his dispensation*

 In grace anrl truth he did abound ; 
 
 sen>e and reason were profound ; 
 Hi3 word^ and doctrine too were sound ; 
 The que3tion3 which they did propound. 
 He answered all and did confound, 
 The scheni3 they were defending, 
 
 6. The wily serpent did infuic, 
 Into the hearts of wicked Jew">, 
 
 That thev should Chri st their Kins^ refuse! 
 
 With the utmost detestation. 
 With boldness he maintained his way, 
 And preached to them from day to day ; 
 But stubborn Jews would not obey, 
 And often sought their Lord to slay ; 
 Judas at length did him betray, 
 
 Joined in their conspiration^ 
 
 7. To Pilate's bar our Jesus came ^, 
 Behold the meek and lowly Lamb, 
 The son of God now clothed in shame^ 
 
 And bears his condemnation. 
 The dreadful scene behold and see ; 
 He bears hi 3 cross up Calvary, 
 And there nailed to the cursed tree, 
 Behold his dying agony; 
 Sinner.s he dies for you and me, 
 
 To save os from damnation, 
 
 8. All hail, eternal son of God, 
 
 Who bought me with thy precious blood, 
 And has thy Father's wine press trod, 
 Of helpers there was not one. 
 
[65] 
 
 O may my ransomed soul obey, 
 Thy blessM commands from day to day; 
 Give me a heart to watch and pray, 
 And keep me that I never stray 
 From thee, the true and livhig vray, 
 
 Till I surround the starry throne. 
 
 SONG S6, 
 
 1. WHEN shall I be delivered from sorrow and 
 
 from sin ? 
 
 When will my blessed Saviour abide and reign 
 within ? 
 
 When shall I cease to Wander, and love my 
 God alone, 
 
 And feel with pleasing wonder my heart be- 
 come his throne ? 
 
 2. I wander like a stranger or pilgrim here below; 
 I long to love my Saviour, and nothing else to 
 
 know : 
 
 But still I feel corruption abiding in my breast, 
 Foreboding my destruction if it is not suppressed. 
 
 3. When shall I gain the blessing and feel the 
 
 fountain flow, 
 And plunge into that ocean that washes white 
 as snow ; 
 
 Emerge to full salvation, cleansed by the purple 
 flood, 
 
 And feel the new creation, the image of my 
 God? 
 
 4. The foe would fain persuade me, my labor all 
 
 is vain. 
 
 That Christ will never save me, while here, 
 from sin's remains : 
 
166] 
 
 And when 1 read the promise and almost feel 
 it true. 
 
 He cries a sprinkled eonscrence is not for such 
 as you, 
 
 5. Methinks I hear my Saviour thus whispering 
 
 within, 
 
 My friends with me must suffer, if with me 
 
 they would reign ; 
 And when through faith and patience thy soul 
 
 shall be refined, 
 I'll give thee then to love me with all thy heart 
 
 and mind, 
 
 6. No more shall thy corruption or sin distress 
 
 thy soul, 
 
 But love, without obstruction, shall like an 
 
 ocean roll ; . 
 
 And though through tribulation you still your 
 course must run, 
 
 Your witness of salvation shall shine like yon- 
 der sun, 
 
 7. Then wherefore these distresses ? Lift up your 
 
 anxious mind ; 
 Behold ! the gentle heavens with blessings o'er 
 thee bend ; 
 
 To taste theni I invite thee, arise and enter in i 
 Now if you can beheve me, I'll save you from 
 all sin, 
 
 8. Wherefore will you dishonor your God by un- 
 
 belief ? 
 
 Come, cast your care upon me and find a quick 
 relief ; 
 
 Nor of my love be doubtful, I am no fickle 
 friend, 
 
 My promises are faithful, I'll love you to the end.

 SONG ST. 
 
 L SAVIOUR, vlgit thy plantation ; 
 
 Grant us, Lord, a gracious rain! 
 All will come to desolation, 
 
 Unless thou return again ^ 
 Keep no longer at a distance ; 
 
 Shine upon us from on high ; 
 Lest, for want of thine assistance, 
 
 Ev'ry plant should droop and die. 
 
 2. Surely once thy garden flourished, 
 
 Ev^ry part looked gay and green ! 
 Then thy word our spirits nourished, 
 
 Happy seasons we. have seen ! 
 But a drought has since succeeded^ 
 • And a sad decline we see ; 
 Lord thy help is greatly needed ; 
 
 Help can only come from thee. 
 
 3. Where are those we counted leaders, 
 
 Filled with zeal, and love and truth ? 
 Old professors, tail as cedars, 
 
 Bright examples to our youth ! 
 Some, in whom we once delighted, 
 
 We shall meet no rhore below ; 
 Some, alas ! we fear are blighted, 
 
 Scarce a single leaf they show* 
 
 4. Younger plants— the sight how pleasant, 
 
 Covered thick with blossoms stood ; 
 But they cause us grief at present, 
 
 Frosts have nipped them in the bud ! 
 Dearest Saviour, hasten hither. 
 
 Thou canst make them bloom again ; 
 O ! permit them not to wither ; 
 
 Let not all our hopes be vain 1 
 
[68] 
 
 5. Let cur mutual love be fervent, 
 
 Make us prevalent in prayers ; 
 Let each one, esteen^ed thy servant, 
 
 Shun the world's bewitching snares ; 
 Break the tempter^s fatal power. 
 
 Turn the stony heart to flesh ; 
 And begin, from this good hour. 
 
 To revive thy work afresh.*

 8. The pleasant fields in Canaan's land. 
 
 Are teauteous to behold: 
 The vallies clothed in living green, 
 
 The mountains tinged with gold — 
 The trees of life, with heavenly fruity 
 
 Behold how thick they stand ; 
 Blow gentle gales, and bear my soul 
 
 Aw^ay to Canaan's land. 
 
 9. Salvation In sweet purling streamsfi. 
 
 Through Canaan's land doth roll, 
 Proceeding from the throne of God^ 
 
 To bathe a pilgrim's souL 
 Ten thousand, thousand crowns of gold. 
 
 All set with diamonds bright ; 
 And there my smiling Jesus reigns. 
 
 Who is my heart's delight. 
 
 10. Come, all ye mourning travellers. 
 
 Fresh courage take from me— 
 Meanwhile I'll tell you how, my friends. 
 
 This land I canie to see. 
 Through Christ the glorious telescope, 
 
 I view^ed the worlds above, 
 And God the Father dressed in smiles^ 
 
 Who filled m.y soul with love. 
 
 11. My soul's on fire with warm desire^ 
 
 To see Jerusalem ; 
 The city bright, the saint's delight, 
 
 Whose keeper is the Lamb. 
 A holy flame, runs through my frame, 
 
 Methinks the King I see, 
 In giory bright, clothed all in light 
 
 And immortality. 
 
 12. My soul, what glories do appear. 
 
 Throughout that Jand to thee ; 
 
[71] 
 
 There all the saiats are clothed in white, 
 
 And walk in liberty, 
 The Father, Son, and Spirit one, 
 
 In blazing glories shine, 
 With countless harps and flaming tongues, 
 
 Employed in hymns divine.

 Our Captain is above ; 
 Behold him stand at God's right hand ;

 To see our smiling God. 
 
 mm 39,

 Millions of angels praise the Son ; 
 Ten thousand seraphs clothed in white, 
 And winged heralds stretched for flight, 
 
 2. Fear him, ye saints, and love him too, 
 He lives, he reigns, he died for you : 
 Angelic hosts from glory fell, 
 
 And vengeance chains them deep in HelL 
 
 3. Their pinions chained, they cannot rise. 
 With horror view the brazen skies ; 
 
 In seas of guilt, a burning flood. 
 The wrath of an Almighty God. 
 
 4. In midnight darkness scream and howl, 
 More direful than the desert owd ; 
 
[72] 
 
 XJuhappy Ghosts, they howl in vain, 
 They'll never see the light again. 
 
 5. Bat Q! my God w^hat hast thou done, 
 Through Christ, thine only loving son. 
 Poor Adam's race through Jesus' blaod, 
 Made kings, and priests, and sons of God. 
 
 6. From pits of wo, from fire and chains, 
 From floods of grief, exquisite pains ; 
 From endless shame, eternal Hell 
 Redeemed by King Immanuel. 
 
 7. When Gabriel's trump shall rend the sky, 
 In fiery chariots w^e shall fly ; 
 
 We'll drive o'er clouds, outstrip the wind, 
 And leave a burning; world behind. 
 
 8. O ! sinners come, will you not go 
 With us to 'scape eternal' w^o ? 
 Your Saviour cries, O! sinners turn, 
 Or else in Hell forever burn. 
 
 9. When brought before God's awful bar, 
 Your everlasting doom to hear ; 
 
 You then from all your friends must part. 
 And sink to Hell with bleeding heart. 
 
 10. Come, then, to Christ, forsake your sin ; 
 Come run a race, a crown to win ; 
 
 To sit on thrones of glory bright, 
 
 Crowned kings, and prie:>ts all clothed in white.

 And triumph in victorious grace : 
 With shining angels shoiJtt and tell, 
 Redemption through Immanuel.

 SONG 40. 
 
 1. COME all my partners in distress, 
 Ye travellers through the wilderness, 
 
 To Canaan's peaceful shore. 
 Be ready now for all alarms, 
 Gird on your helmets and your arms, 
 
 Our Captain's gone before. 
 
 2. ApoUyon's armies we must fight, 
 And put the troops of Hell to flight ; 
 
 To gain that heavenly land. 
 Come on ye soldiers in the rear. 
 Be stout and bold and never fear; 
 
 Come join the shouting band. 
 
 3. King Jesus' banners mounted high, 
 And colors of sweet liberty, 
 
 Behold each glittering star. 
 Hark 1 the w^^atchmen wind their horn. 
 The echo sounds each soul to warn, 
 
 To Zion's glorious war. 
 
 4. The watchmen march around the wall. 
 In close array the armies all, 
 
 And boast their thousands slain* 
 In triumph hark I the soldiers cry, 
 Through Christ w^e all our foes defy, 
 
 And cou-nt their malice vain. 
 
 5. We'll shout above the fiery void. 
 
 And view the earth in flames destroyed, 
 
 And tune our harps of gold. 
 Salvation to our conquering King, 
 We'll make the heavenly mansions ringt 
 Through ages yet untold. 
 
[74] 
 
 6. We've fought ApoUyon and his crew, 
 And all his armies overthrew,

 Of Christ your conquering Gods*>.'>^.%^ 
 
 7. We'll sit on thrones of glory bright, 
 When perfect day excludes the night, 
 
 Above the ethereal blue.

 With him we'll rest on flowing beds, 
 
 Our pleasures ever new. 
 
 8. No nauseous thing for us to fear, 
 No sin or pain can enter there, 
 
 To interrupt our peace. 
 But drink and swim in seas of love, 
 God's perfect holiness to prove, 
 
 And glory still increase. 
 
 9. O ! Christians, don't you want to go, 
 And leave your cares and fears below, 
 
 To see that heavenly place. 
 And never to return again, 
 To this dark world of sin and, pain, 
 
 From his sweet smiling face. 
 
 10, O ! siiiners what think you of this, 
 Ye restless wanderers after bliss ? 
 
 Stop and no longer .roam. 
 The road you're in leads down to Hell, 
 Where fiery flames and dragons dwell. 
 
 Where hope can never come. 
 
 11. Hark ! from the skies your vSaviour cries, 
 And stands your bleeding sacrifise, 
 
 Then ofiers you his love. 
 
[75 j 
 
 Sinner awake ! see your mistake, 
 And strive to shun the fiery lake, 
 And reign with him above, 
 
 12. Hark ! how the gospel trumpet charms ,4 
 Enlist with Christ, take up your arms, 
 
 Gird on your sv/ord and shield. 
 While glory bright inspires to fight, 
 We'll slay the bloody sons of night, 
 
 And thus we'll ^take the field. 
 
 13. O 1 then we'll meet our blessed Lord, 
 When we'll not need a shield or sword^ 
 
 But nobler hours employ. 
 When millions of bright years are gone. 
 Eternity is just begun, 
 
 Of never ending joy, 
 
 14. All glory be to God on high, 
 
 Who made the ocean, earth and sky ; 
 
 Glary to him be given, 
 I long to see my gracious King, 
 My soul's now rising while I sing, 
 
 To scale the mount of heaven. 
 
 15. I long to gain the mountain's height; 
 To see the Lord m.y soul's delight,

 That's not afraid to die. 
 
 3. The armies now are in parade ; 
 
 How martial they appear I 
 All dressed and armed in uniform, 
 
 They look like men of war— 
 They follow their brave general, 
 
 The great Eternal Lamb : 
 His garments stained with his own blood. 
 
 King Jesus is his name.

 And drive the hosts of hell. 
 How dreadful is out God in arms^ 
 
 The great ImmanueL 
 Sinners enlist with Jesus Christ, 
 
 The eternal Son of God ; 
 And march with us to Canaan's land. 
 
 Beyond the swelling flood.

 Where fruits immortal grow ; 
 All clothed in white, with angels bright, 
 And our Redeemer know.

 We'll shout and sing forever mora. 
 
 In that eternal world ; 
 But Satan and his armies too, 
 
 Shall down to Hell be hurled. 
 
 6« Hold up your head.^, ye soldiers bold, 
 
 Redemption's drawing nigh; 
 We soon shall hear the trumpet sound, 
 
 That shakes both earth and sky. 
 In fiery chariots then we'll fly, 
 
 And leave the world on fire ; 
 Apd meet around the starry throne, 
 
 To tune the immortal lyre.

 Aurora gently fanned the air; 
 
 And scattered odours in the breeze, 
 From dropping gums and blooming trees. 
 
 2. The hills and vallies did abound, 
 With feathered songsters all around ; 
 Their various artless notes did ring. 
 To welcome in the cheerful spring. 
 
 3. The earth was clothed in vernal hue, 
 And flowers sprinkled with morning dew ; 
 All nature smiling to behold, 
 
 The rising sun with beams of gold. 
 
 4. Surveying nature's drama round, 
 The scene with wonders did abound ; 
 Meanwhile my laboring eyes were charmed, 
 An inward voice my soul alarmed.

 You'd better learn to know thy end ;

 And thought I soon should sink ha death* 
 
 D. The little birds from spray to spray, 
 Were hummjng praises all the day, 
 In artless anthems to their God,

 He says, I have a ran cei found ; 
 
 I bought your pardon on the tree, 
 And came to set your spirit free.

 And longed for wingi to reach the cloud, 
 To catch my Saviour iu my arm 3, 
 And gaze forever on his charmj. 
 
 23. Meanwhile I thus rejoicing stood, 
 He like a flaming cherub rode ; 
 To heaven again he toDk his flight, 
 And quickly vanished out of sight.

 jalways light ; 
 He lives, nor is he weary, till his Canaan heaves 
 
 in sight. 
 
 4. ' Tis thus you have his history, through life 
 
 from day to day, 
 
 Religion is no mystery to him 'tis a beaten way ;

 And when life's lamp is flickering, his mul an

 Flies away to realms of glory, there to reign 
 with Christ above.

 SONG 5-3. 
 
 1, YE little flock, despised few, 
 
 You must the wilderness go through 
 The Israelites by Moses led, 
 .And God from Heaven sent them bread. 
 "With shoes their feet were kept from cold, 
 'Their. garments never waxed old. 
 The trumpet sounded their command, 
 To march away for Canaan's land. 
 
 4?. They crossed the red, the roariog sea, 
 'Undaunted Moses led the way.; 
 The sea obey'd the voice of God, 
 Stood still, and opened theni a road. 
 While Pharoah's band, whom God had cursed, 
 Were.alMu watery graves immersed ; 
 
[9S] 
 
 But DOW behold the royal band, 
 On Caaaan's side all shouting stand. 
 
 3. The cloudy pillar served by day, 
 
 To gaide their feet the pathless way ; 
 la clarke3t shades they had for light, 
 A fiery pillar through the night. 
 The Lord of Hosts rode through the air, 
 And often drove his ohariot near; 
 Someiirnes the eternal Monarch bowed, 
 And spoke to Moses through a cloud. 
 
 4. And Moses, faithful to his trusty 
 Till he returned again to dust ; 
 And Joshua did, we understand, 
 Lead Israel safe to Canaan's land. 
 Though some did murmur and complain. 
 And in the wilderness were slain ; 
 Provoked their kind and gracious Lord, 
 And fell by his vindictive sword. 
 
 5. Then, brethren dear, pray faithful prove. 
 Or he'il reseat hi 3 injured love ; 
 
 Watch all your steps with eagle's eye, 
 From sin, a. from a serpent fly. 
 Moses and Joshua both are dead. 
 But still we see that Israel's led — 
 The Jewish law by Closes came. 
 But grace and truth, in Jesus' nanie, 
 
 C. The blood of goats and bullocks slain. 
 Could never take away our stain ; 
 Tho e ordinances were of God, 
 To point the world to Jesu>' blood. 
 Those shaJov/s now are (led away, 
 Methinks'l see approaching day ; 
 It's come, it's come, the ro-^y morn ; 
 Uail glcrious day, the Saviour's born. 
 
[99] 
 
 7. The Gospel trump begins to cound. 
 Through Zion's firmament around ; 
 The voice of the sweet turtle dove, 
 The tokens of redeeming love. 
 
 All round sweet flowers do appear, 
 Which shew to U3 that summ^r^> near ; 
 The harvest too w^ill quickly come; 
 Return ye ransomed siianers home^ 
 
 8. Behold the suffering Son of God, 
 
 Pressed dow^n with sheaves a ponderous load ; 
 Hii hands, hi 5 feet, his gushing side, 
 Exceed bold Jordan's swellino^ tide. 
 Ye scarlet sinners now draw nigh, 
 ^ Whose sin's are of the deepest dye; 
 Baptize your souls in thii rich flood, 
 Fresh springing from a dying God. 
 
 9. Behold the dying Jesus rise. 
 
 With flaming troops above the skies ; 
 He tramples Hell beneath his feet, 
 And takes his Mediatorial seat. 
 Ten thousand thousand in a band, 
 Around the throne adoring stand ; 
 They hail the conquering prince of war, 
 And gaze upon each glorious scar. 
 
 10. His fame shall sound from pole to pole ; 
 His grace shall flow from soul to soul ; 
 Ten thousands shall his love proclaim, 
 And infants learn to lisp his name. 
 His blood we'll drink, his flesh we'll eat» 
 His gospel shall adorn our feet ; 
 His righteousness shall us entwine, 
 In garments of salvation shine. 
 
 XL Each soldier bold, with sw(5ft'd in hand, 
 Fight valiantly for Canaan's land ;

 With helmet, breast plate and the shield* 
 We'll force tke- powers of Hell to yield. 
 Your general brave has gone before, 
 Hark ! don't you hear his trumpets ro^r T 
 Come on, come on, ye httie band, 
 You soon will- gain; fair Canaan's land. 
 
 12. We soon shall stand where Moses stood, 
 From Pisgah's top cross Jordan's flood ; 
 With eagle's wings, outstrip the wind, 
 And leave its raging waves behind. 
 We'll meet on that delightful shore, 
 And then the promised land explore ; 
 Meanwhile redeeming grace admire, 
 In praises sweet the golden lyre. 
 
 SONG 54. 
 
 1. THERE is a land' of pleasure. 
 
 Where streams of joy forever roll ; 
 ' Tis there I have my treasure,. 
 
 Arid' there I long to rest my soul : 
 Long darkness dw^elt around me, 
 
 With scarcely one bright cheering ray ; 
 But since my Saviour found me, 
 
 A light has shone along my Way. 
 
 2. My way is full of danger ; 
 
 But ' tis the path that leads to God, 
 And like a faithful soldier, 
 
 I'll boldly march along the road : 
 Nqw I m.ust gird my sword on. 
 
 My breast-plate, helmet and my shield, 
 And fight the host of Satan, 
 
 Until I reach the heavenly field.

 Still guided by my Saviour's hand i 
 O ! come along dear sinners. 
 
 And sree Emanuel's happy land ; 
 To all who stay behind me, 
 
 I bid a long, a long farewell; 
 Come now or you'll repent it, 
 
 When you shall reach the gates of HelL 
 
 4. The vale of tears surrounds me, 
 
 And Jordan's current rolls before ; 
 O ! how I stand and tremble, 
 
 To hear the dismal waters roaf. 
 Whose hand shall thep. support me, 
 
 And keep my soul from sinking there^ 
 From sinking down to darkness. 
 
 And to the regions of despair ? 
 
 5. This stream ghall not affright me, 
 
 Although ' tis deeper than the grave % 
 If Jesus stands beside me, 
 
 I'll smoothly ride on Jordan's wave : 
 His word has calmed the ocean — 
 
 His lamp has cheered the gloomy vale : 
 O ! shall this friend be with me. 
 
 While through the gates of death I sail ? 
 
 5, Come, then, thou king of terrors, 
 
 And with thy dagger lay me low — 
 I'll sooner reach those regions. 
 
 Where everlasting pleasures grow« 
 O ! Christians shall I leave you, 
 
 No more to join your social band ; 
 No more to stand beside you, 
 
 Till at the Judgment bar we stand ? 
 
 7. Soon the archangel's trumpet, 
 
 Shall rock the globe from pole to pole, 
 I 
 
[102] 
 
 And all the wheels of nature, 
 Shall ih a moment cease to roiL 
 
 Then we shall see the Saviour " 
 With shining ranks of angels come. 
 
 To execute his vengeance, 
 
 And take his faithful servants home, 
 
 8. Then sinners you'll be driven, 
 
 Down to the lake of fire and pain,^ 
 To scream in flaming sulphur, 
 
 And never to return again. 
 Then sinners you'll remember me, 
 
 Who warned you of that dreadful end, 
 While the smoking of your torment, 
 
 In pitchy clouds will up ascend, 
 
 SONS 55. 
 
 1.0! JESUS my Saviour I know thou art mine i 
 For thee all the pleasures of earth I resign: 
 Of objects most pleasing, I love thee the best ; 
 Without thee I'm wretched, but with thee I'm 
 blest. 
 
 2. For thee all the pleasures of sense I'll forego. 
 And wander a pilgrim despised below : 
 
 Thou art my rich treasure, my joy and my love, 
 No richer possessed by the angels above. ^ 
 
 3. Thy spirit first taught me to know I was blind ; 
 Then taught m€ the way of salvation to find: 
 For when I was sinking into black despair, 
 My Jesus relieved me and bid me not fear, 
 
 4. In vain I attempt to describe what I feel — - 
 The language of mortals for ever must fail ;

 My Jesus is precious, my soul's all on flame ; 
 Pm raised into rapture, while praising his name.

 In sweet meditation he always is near: 
 My constant companion, O ! may we ne'er part ! 
 All glory to Jesus, he dwells in my heart,

 I love thy dear people, thy ways and thy word ; 
 I love all creation, I love sinners too. 
 Since Jesus has died to redeem them from wo.

 Though sinners despise me for singing so loud : 
 For death shall soon call me, and then I shall fly, 
 To praise my dear Jesus in mansions on high. 
 
 8. There millions of ages my soul shall employ, 
 In praising my Jesus, my hope and my joy : 
 Where glorified spirits and angels around, 
 Shall all be delighted to join the glad sound. 
 
 SONG 
 
 1. HARE ! brethren dear, the Lord is near— 
 
 We hear his children's voices ; 
 * Sweet streams of love flow from above ; 
 Hear how each soul rejoices 1 
 Their Saviour's come, their hearts make room, 
 
 Their soul's are all on fire ; 
 The sacred flam.e removes all shame, 
 While they their Lord admire. 
 
 3. The glorious sound rings all around ; 
 The babes in Christ are praising : 
 
[104] 
 
 Conviction deep makes mourners weep— 
 Hark I how the shout is raising. 
 
 What music this ! ' tis more than bliss 
 To each sincere beholder ; 
 
 With holy fear we stand and hear^ 
 And in the cause grow bolder. 
 
 3. Like times of old, it can^t be toldj. 
 
 The noise of joy from weeping ; 
 The Lord has past, a look has cast 
 
 On sinners who were sleeping. 
 Hell trembles now — her pillars bow r 
 
 Let Christianas be engaged ! 
 For Satan's n^ar — -his friends appear 
 
 See how they are enraged. 
 
 4. To formal souls that are dead and eold^ 
 
 This eiccms like a dvciual^ij. » 
 And thus they say, how can we pray^ 
 
 Amidst this sore confusion ? 
 They stand and gaze in deep ar^aze ; 
 
 Unto this work they^re strangers : 
 The reasoning fiend draws off their mind^, 
 
 And hides from them their danger* 
 
 Will you oppose and weaken those 
 
 Who are but young professors ? 
 Think on the days when you could praiso, 
 
 When first you w^ere possessors. 
 You've lost your love : you plainly prove 
 
 You've neither life nor power ; 
 Or else those cries which pierce the skieSj^ 
 
 Could not your peace devour. 
 
 6. But lift your mind — the Lord is kind ^ 
 Let prayer ascend to heaven : 
 May Christ in love come from above^ 
 And speak your sins forgiven* 
 
[105] 
 
 YouVe turned aside and wandered wide, 
 
 O ! may you be reclaimed: 
 And cease to oppose tke work in those 
 
 Whose soul's with love inflamed. 
 
 7, Sinners alarmed lay down your arms, 
 
 And cea^e from persecution : 
 Saints, w^atch and pray, both night and day, 
 
 And guard against delusion. 
 Mourners arise, lift up your eyes, 
 
 And struggle for the blessing : 
 BacksUders turn, or you must burn 
 
 In torments never ceasing. 
 
 SONG 51. .

 Chorus. — Hallelujah^ &c. 
 
 5. The voice of fi-ee grace^ cries escape to the

 His blood flows to cleanse us, in plenteous effu- 
 sion»

 mountain. 
 Chorus. — Hallelujah, &c. 
 
 7. O ! Jesus, ride on, in thy chariot victorious.

 fender.

 gation,

 Chorus. — Hallelujah, &c.

 blessing, 
 
 With our harps in our hands we will praise 
 
 without ceasing ; 
 W e'll range the bless'd fields on the banks of 
 
 the river, 
 
 And sing Hallelujahs forever and ever. 
 CnoRuSe — Hallelujah, &c.

 If we but watch, and strive, and pray. 
 Like soldiers in the good old way.

 May none of us from thee depart ; 
 
 But may our actions always say, 
 We're marching in the good old way.

 Our happiness try to destroy, 
 
 Yet never fear, we'll gain the day, 
 And shout and sing th© good old way^

 5. And when on Pisgah's top we stand, 
 And view, by faith, the promised land ; 
 Then we may sing, and shout and pray, 
 And march along the good old way.

 Remember Glory's at an end ; 
 
 Our God will wipe all tears away. 
 When we have run the good old way.

 We'll meet with those who've gone before; 
 And shout to think we've gained the day, 
 By marching in the good old way. 
 
 SONG 59. 
 
 1. THE Lord has to his garden come, 
 The spices yield a rich perfume. 
 
 The lillies grow and thrive ; 
 Refreshing showers of grace divine, 
 From Jesus flow the living vine. 
 
 And make each branch revive. 
 
 2. O ! that this dry and barren ground, 
 With springs of water may abound. 
 
 And fruitful soil become ; 
 The desert blossoms as a, rose, 
 And Jesus conquers all his foes, 
 
 And makes his people one. 
 
 3. The glorious day is rolling on, 
 That gracious work is now begun,' 
 
 My soul a witness is ; 
 
[109] 
 
 I taste and know that grace is frcGj 
 And all mankind as well as me, 
 May com.e to Christ and live, 
 
 4. The worst of sinners hero may find^ 
 A Saviour pitiful and kind^ 
 
 Who will them all receive. 
 None are too vile who will repent, 
 Out of one sinner, legions went, 
 
 The Lord did him relieve. 
 
 5. If sinners only knew the Lord^ 
 And would but only taste his word, 
 
 His sweet forgiving love ; 
 They'd rush through storms of every kind. 
 And leave all earthly cares behind^ 
 
 To gain a crown above. 
 
 6. Come, brethren, you that love the Lord^ 
 Who taste the sweets of Jesus' word, 
 
 In Jesus' ways go on, 
 Our troubles and our trials here, 
 Will only make us richer therog 
 
 When we arrive at home, 
 
 7. We feel that heaven is now begun, 
 It issues from the sparkling throne, 
 
 From Jesus' throne on high ; 
 It comes in floods we cant contain, 
 We drink, and drink, and drink again^ 
 
 And yet we still are dry. 
 
 8. And when we come to dwell above. 
 And all surround a throne of love, 
 
 We'll drink a full supply, 
 Jesus will lead his ransomed forth, 
 To living streams of richest worthy. 
 
 That never will run dry.

 And make the heavenly arches rin^, 
 
 When alf the saints get home ; " 
 Come on, come on, my brethren dear, 
 We soon shall meet together there, 
 
 For Jesus bids us come. 
 
 10, Amen, amen, my soul replies ;

 Come will you go to heaven with me ? 
 That glorious land of rest to see. 
 
 And shout with me eternally.

 And take the kingdom in the skies, 
 Where love and union never dies. 
 But always flow through Paradise, 
 
 And there we'll give him glory, 
 
 7. My soul grows happy w^hile I sing, 
 I feel that I am on the wing ; 
 I'll shout salvation to my King, 
 Till I to heaven my trophies bring, 
 
 And there we'll give him glory, 
 
 3.. Those beauteous fields of living green, 
 Through faith, (the telescope,) are seen ; 
 Though Jordan's billows roll between. 
 We soon shall cross the narrow stream, 
 And there we'll give him glory, 
 
 9. A few more days of pain and wo, 
 A few more suffering scenes below, 
 And then to Jesus we shall go, 
 Where everlasting pleasures flow, 
 
 And there we'll give him glory, 
 
 10, That awful trumpet soon will sound, 
 And shake the vast creation round, 
 
[112] 
 
 And call the nations under ground, 
 And all the saints shall then be crowned, 
 And give to Jesus glory* 
 
 11. Ten thousand thunders then will roll, 
 And rend the globe from pole to pole ; 
 How dreadful to the guilty soul ; 
 
 But nothing shall the saints control, 
 They'll give to Jesus glory. 
 
 12. Then we shall weep and part no more, 
 When we have met on Canaan's shore, 
 For Zion's warfare now is o'er, 
 
 Such shouts were never heard before, 
 And there we'll give him gloiy. 
 
 13. Their tears shall all be wiped away, 
 And christians never go astray ; 
 When we are freed from cumbrous clay 
 We'll praise the Lord in endless day, 
 
 And give to Jesus glory. 
 
 14. On Zion's brilliant mount we'll stand. 
 And view that holy, heavenly land, 
 With palms of victory in each hand, 
 We'll shout with heaven's triumphant band, 
 
 And give to Jesus glory. 
 
 15. There all the saints shall join in one, 
 And sing with Moses round the throne, 
 Their troubles are forever gone. 
 They'll shine with God's eternal Son. 
 
 And there we'll give him gfory. 
 
 IG. The rose and lilly there shall stand. 
 In holy bloom at God's right hand ; 
 O ! how I long for Canaan's land, 
 And there to join the shouting band, 
 And give to Jesus glory.

 Appointed for the poor,

 The healing waters move ; 
 And others round me stepping in, 
 Their efficacy prove.

 As full of guilt and fear and pain, 
 As when af first I came.

 My malady to heal ; 
 He knows how long I've languished here, 
 And what distress I feel

 Why should I ionger lie ? 
 Surely the mercy I have sought

 There is no other pool, 
 Where stream:^ of sovereign virtue flow^ 
 To make a sinner whole,

 I'll wait and hope and try ; 
 Can Jesus hear a sinner pray, 
 Yet suffer him to die.

 A soul that fain would see his face, 
 To perish at his feet.

 5. Farewell, I am bound for glory i 
 How pleasing is the story ! 
 Those shining worlds before me 
 
 Invite me to be gone« 
 Had I angels' pinions 
 I'd range the bright dominions^ 
 And join the shining millions, 
 
 Wbo're shouting round the throne? 
 
 6. The pleasing smile of Jesus, 
 The rapturous sound Increases, 
 And tunes the heavenly voices 
 
 Throughout the ethereal plains. 
 My flesh and spirit failing, 
 My soul in transports hailing^ 
 
[124] 
 
 Bright seraphs in their dwelling, 
 I sing immortal strains.

 t. A SOLDIER, Lord, thou hast me made, 
 Thou art ray .captain, king and head, 
 And under thee I still would fight. 
 The fight of faith, all in thy sight. 
 The cross all stained with hallowed blooi. 
 The ensign of our cause in God ; 
 The soldier's Heavenly standard is^ 
 And I will fight for King Jesus. 
 
 ^. Lord grant me grace to wield thy word^ 
 Thy spirit's powerful two edged sword, 
 To slay my foes where'er they be. 
 And claim the victory won by thee ; 
 That I a faithful child may be 
 To stand and face the enemy ; 
 And when the alarm's to call the Lord, 
 May pass the word unto the guard. 
 
 3. Thou art my guard, keep me I pray, 
 That I may walk the narrow way, 
 And from my duty ne'er depart. 
 But live to Christ, with all my heart 
 Help me to keep jmy martial dress^ 
 And march in the way of holiness ; 
 O ! make me pure and spotless too, 
 And fit to stand the grand review. 
 
 4. And when our General, Christ shall come, 
 With sound of trumpet not of drum, 
 
[125] 
 
 And all our well dressed ranks shall stand, 
 In full review at God's right hand, 
 Our foes shall then be put to rout, 
 Shall wheel fron\ him to the left about ; 
 While we march up the heavenly street. 
 And ground our arms at Jesus' feet. 
 
 .3. And then the saints shall join and tell. 
 How Jesus saved their souls from Hell ; 
 Parents and children then will meet, 
 .Kindred and friends each other greet ; 
 In streams of joy our souls shall roll, 
 And shout God's praise from pole to pole ; 
 ,0 ! how I long to be at rest, 
 And lean on Jesus' lovino^ breast.

 1. O! WHEN shall I see Jesus, 
 
 And reign with him above ? 
 And drink the flowing fountain 
 
 Of eveilasting love 1 
 When shall I be delivered 
 
 From this vain world of sin ? 
 And with my blessed Jesus, 
 
 Drink endless pleasures in. 
 
 2. Bat now I am a soldier, 
 
 My Captain's gone before, 
 He's given me my orders, 
 
 And tells me not to fear. 
 And if I hold out faithful, 
 
 A crown of life he'll give. 
 And all his valiant soldiers, 
 
 Eternal life shall have. 
 
 K 
 
[126] 
 
 3. Through grace I am determined 
 
 To conquer though I die, 
 And then away to Jesus,, 
 
 On wings of love Pll fly, 
 Farewell^to sin and sorrow, 
 
 1 bid you all adieu ; 
 And you my friends prove faithfuls, 
 
 And on your vv^ay pursue. 
 
 4. And if you meet with trialsr. 
 
 And troubles on the way, 
 Cast all your care on Jesus, 
 
 And don't forget to pray i 
 Gird on the gospel armour, 
 
 Of faith and hope and love, 
 And when the combat's ended. 
 
 You'll reign with him above. 
 
 5. O ! do not be discouraged^ 
 
 For Jesus is your friend ; 
 And if you lack for knowledges^ 
 
 He'll not refuse to lend : 
 Neither will he upbraid you, 
 
 Though ofttimes you request. 
 He'll give you grace to conquer, 
 
 And take you up to rest. 
 
 6. Farew^ell, my Christian brethren^ 
 
 I'm going home to God, 
 To see my blessed Jesus 
 
 Who bought me v/ith his blood i 
 There I'll sit and praise him ; 
 
 A crown he's bought for me, 
 And sing the song of Moses, 
 
 To all eternity.

 SONG n. 
 
 L SOMETIMES a light surprises 
 
 The Christian while he sings ; 
 It is the Lord who rises 
 
 With healing in his wings : 
 When comforts are declining, 
 
 He grants the soul again 
 A season of clear shining. 
 
 To cheer it after raiiic 
 
 2. In holy contemplatloil, 
 
 We sweetly then pursue 
 The theme of God's salvation^ 
 
 And find it ever new : 
 Set free from present sorrow, 
 
 We cheerfully can say, 
 Even let the unknown to-morrow 
 
 Bring with it what it may. 
 
 It can bring with it nothing 
 
 But he will bear us through ; 
 Who gives the lillies clothing, 
 
 Will clothe his people too : 
 Beneath the spreading heavens^ 
 
 No creature but is fed : 
 And he who feeds the ravens, 
 
 Will give his children bread. 
 
 4. Though vine nor fig tree neither' 
 
 Their wonted fruit shall bear, 
 Though all the field should wither, 
 
 Nor flocks nor herds be there : 
 Yet God the same abiding. 
 
 His praise shall tune my voice ; 
 For while in him confiding, 
 
 I cannot but rejoice* 
 
[128] 
 
 mm n. 
 
 1. BRIGHT scenes of glory strike my sense? 
 
 And all my passions capture ; 
 Eternal beauties round me sliine^ 
 
 Infusing warmest raptures. 
 I dive in pleasures deep and fulls. 
 
 In swelling waves of glory, 
 And feel my Saviour in my soulj, 
 
 And groan to tell my story. 
 
 2. I feast on honey, milk and vnbe^ 
 
 I drink perpetual sweetness ; 
 Mount Zion's odors through me shines 
 
 While Christ unfolds his glory. 
 No mortal tongue can shew my joys^ 
 
 Nor can an angel tell them ; 
 Ten thousand times surpassing all 
 
 Terrestrial worlds or emblems^. 
 
 S. My cnpti^rated spirits fly. 
 
 Through shining worlds of beauty ; 
 Dissolved in blushes loud I cry, 
 
 In praises loud and mighty. 
 And here Til sing and swell the strains^ 
 
 Of harmony delighted, 
 And with the miUions learn the notes. 
 
 Of saints in Christ united. . 
 
 4. The bliss that rolls through those above^ 
 
 Through those in glory seated, 
 Which causes them loud songs to sing, 
 
 Ten thousand times repeated ; 
 Dart through my soul in radiant flames ; 
 
 Constraining loudest praises, 
 O'erwrhelming all my powers with joySj 
 
 While all within me blazes. 
 
[129] 
 
 5, When earth and seas shall be no more. 
 
 And all theh' glory perish, 
 When sun and moon shall cease to shine^ 
 
 And stars at midnight languish, 
 My joys refined shall higher shine, 
 
 Momit heaven's radiant glory, 
 And tell through one eternal day. 
 
 Love's all immortal story. 
 
 mm iL 
 
 1. THERE is a holy city, 
 
 A happy world above, 
 Beyond the starry regions,- 
 
 Built by the God of love ; 
 An everlasting temple^ 
 
 And saints arrayed in white ; 
 They serve their great Redeemer,, 
 
 They dwell with him in light, 
 
 2. This is no w^orld of trouble. 
 
 The God of peace is there ;: 
 He wipes away their sorrows^.. 
 
 He banishes their care ; 
 Their joys are still increasing^ 
 
 Their songs are ever new ; 
 They praise the eternal Father^. 
 
 The Son and Spirit too. 
 
 3. The meanest child of gloiy 
 
 Outshines the radiant sun ; 
 But who can speak the splendor 
 
 Of that eternal throne, 
 Where Jesus sits exalted, 
 
 In prodlike majesty 1 
 
[130] 
 
 The elders fall before him ^ 
 The angels bend the knee. 
 
 4, Is this the man of sorrowsy 
 
 Who stood; at Pilate*s bar, 
 Condemned by haughty Herod, 
 
 And by his men of war ? 
 He seems a mighty conquerer, 
 
 Who spoiled the powers below^ 
 And ransomed many captives 
 
 From everlasting wo, 
 
 5=. The hosts of saints around him^ 
 
 Proclaim his works of grace; 
 The patriarchs and prophets, 
 
 And all the Godly race ; 
 Who speak of fiery trials 
 
 And tortures on their way : 
 They came from tribulation ^ 
 
 To everlasting day. 
 
 6. Now Vv^ith a holy transport, 
 
 They tell their sufferings o'er ; 
 Their tears and their temptations^ 
 
 And all the pains they bore ; 
 They turn and bow, to Jesus, 
 
 Who gained their liberty : 
 Amidst our fiercest dangers^ 
 
 Our lives are hid in thee i 
 
 7. Long time I vv^as invited 
 
 To gain that heavenly rest ; 
 Grace made no hard condition? 
 
 ' Twas only to be bless'd ; 
 But earth's bewitching pleasures 
 
 Inclined me long to stay ; 
 I sought her dreams and shadow\S5 
 
 And joys that pass av/ay,. 
 
[131] 
 
 8. But now it is my purpose, 
 
 The better way to find ; 
 To serve my great Creator, 
 
 And leave my sins behind ;, 
 In guilt's seducing mazes, 
 
 I will no longer roam 
 ril give my soul to Jesus^ 
 
 Who brings the ransomed home. 
 
 9. And what shall be my journey, 
 
 How long ril stay below, 
 Or what shall be my trials, 
 
 Are not for me to know : 
 In every day of trouble, 
 
 ril raise my thoughts on high ; 
 ril think of the bright temple. 
 
 And crowns above the sky.

 1. COME, you that know the Lord indeed^ 
 Who are from sin and bondage freed. 
 Submit to all the ways of God, 
 
 And walk the narrow happy road. 
 
 2. Great tribulation you shall meet, 
 
 , But soon shall wralk the golden street ; 
 Though hell may rage and vent her spitey 
 Yet Christ will save his heart's delight. 
 
 3. The happy day will' soou appear. 
 When Gabriel's trumpet you shall hear, 
 Sound through the earth and down to hell, 
 To call the nations great and small.

 4. Behold the righteous marching home, 
 And all the angels bid them come ; 
 
 Vv hile Christ the Judge with joy proclaims, 
 ^* Here come my Saints, I own their names/' 
 
 5. " Ye everlasting doors fly wide, 
 Make room now to receive my brido, 
 Ye harps in heaven sound aloud, 
 Here comes the purchase of my blood.

 In ghttering robes the sun outshine f 
 See Saints and Angels join in one, 
 And march in splendor to. the throne !

 They join in one eternal song, 
 The great Redeemer to admire, 
 While raptures set their souls on fire. 
 
 SONG 76.. 
 
 1. 01 THOU in whose presence my soul takes 
 
 delight, 
 On whom in affliction I call ; 
 My comfort by day, and my song in the night, 
 My hope, my salvation, my all. 
 
 2, Where dost thou at noontide resort with thy 
 
 sheep, 
 
 To feast on the pastures of love ? 
 
 Say, why in the valley of death should I weep,. 
 
 Or alone in the wilderness rove ? 
 
[133] 
 
 3. 0 ! why do I wander an alien from tliee, 
 Or pine in a desert for bread ? 
 
 My foes will rejoice v/lien my sorrows tliey see/ 
 And smile at the tears I have shed. 
 
 4. Ye daughters of Zion declare, have you seen 
 The star that on Israel shone ? 
 
 Say, if in your tents my beloved has been^- 
 Gr where with his flocks he is gone ? 
 
 5. This is my beloved, his form is divine, 
 His vestments shed odours around ; 
 
 The locks on his head are as grapes on the vine 
 When autumn with plenty is crowned. 
 
 6. His garment of righteousness Vv^ho can describe ? 
 His purity, Vv^ords would defile ; 
 
 The heavens, from his presence, fresh beauties 
 imbibe, 
 
 And earth is made rich vvith his smile/ 
 
 7. The roses of Sharon, the lillies that grow' 
 In the vale, on the banks of the streams ; 
 
 On his cheeks, in the beauty of excellence glow, 
 His eyes are as quivers of beams. 
 
 8. His soul-cheering presence disperses the nighty 
 When pleased he looks down from^ above ; 
 Like the morn when it breaks {rom the man- 
 sions of light. 
 
 And comforts his people wath love« 
 
 9. But when armed with terror, in vengeance he 
 
 comes, 
 
 The nations rebellious to tame, 
 
 The reins of Omnipotent power he assumes, 
 
 And rides on a chariot of flame. 
 
[134] 
 
 10. A two-edged sword from his mouth issues forth, 
 Bright quivers of fire are his eyes ; 
 
 He speaks, the black tempests are seen in the 
 north, 
 
 And storms from their caverns arise. 
 
 11. He looks and ten thousands of angels rejoice^ 
 And myriads wait for his word ; 
 
 He speaks, and eternity filled with his voice 
 Re-echoes the praise of its Lord.- 
 
 12. His lips as a fountain of righteousness flow, 
 That waters the garden ef grace ; 
 
 From which their salvation the Gentiles may 
 know, 
 
 And bask in the smiles of his face. 
 
 13. Ten thousand destructions that wait for his 
 
 v/ord, 
 
 And ride on the wings of his breath, 
 
 Fly swift as the wind, at the nod of their Lord,- 
 
 And deal out his arrows of death. 
 
 14. His cloud-burstnig thunders their voices resound 
 And expand from the regions on high, 
 
 * Till from the deep centre, loud echoes rebound. 
 And meet the quick flames in the sky. 
 
 15. The portals of heaven his bidding obey^ 
 And expand ere his banners appear : 
 
 Earth trembles beneath, till her mountains give 
 way, 
 
 And hell shakes his fetters with fear. 
 
 16. When he treads on the clouds as the dust of 
 
 his feet, 
 
 And grasps the black storms in his hand; 
 
[135] 
 
 What eye the fierce glance of his anger can 
 meet, 
 
 Or who in its presence can stand ? 
 
 SONG 77. 
 
 1. AT the close of day, when the hamlet is stilly 
 And mortals the sweets of forgetfulness prove^ 
 When nought but the torrent is heard on the 
 
 hill, 
 
 And nought l3ut the nightingale's song in the 
 grove ; 
 
 ' Twas then by the cave of the moui^tain afar, 
 A hermit his song of the night thus began ; 
 No more with himself or with nature at war, 
 He thought as a sage while he felt as a man. 
 
 2. Ah ! why thus abandoned to darkness and wo^ 
 Why thus, lonely Philomel, flows thy sad strain, 
 For spring shall return, and a lover bestow^ 
 And thy bosom no trace of misfortune retain. 
 Yet if pity inspires thee, ah ! cease not thy lay^ 
 Mourn, sweetest complainer^ man calls thee to 
 
 mourn ; 
 
 O ! sooth him, whose pleasures like thine pass 
 
 away- — 
 
 Full quickly they pass^ but they never return. 
 
 l3. Now gliding remote, on the verge of the sky, 
 The Moon half extinguished her crescent dis- 
 plays ; 
 
 But lately I marked when majestic on high, 
 Siie shone, and the planets were lost in her blaze. 
 
[136] 
 
 Roll on, thou fair orb, and with gladness pursue 
 The path that conducts thee to splendor again — 
 But man's faded glory no change shall renew ; 
 Ah ! fool, to exult in a glory so vain ! 
 
 4. ' Tis night, and the landscape is lovely no rnore^ 
 I mourn, but ye v/oodlands, 1 mourn not for you 
 For morn is approaching, your charms to re- 
 store, 
 
 Perfumed with fresh fragrance, and glittering 
 
 with dew ! 
 Nor yet for the ravage of winter mourn : 
 Kind nature the embryo blossom will save. 
 But w^hen shall spring visit the mouldering urn i 
 O ! when shall it dawn in the night of the grave ? 
 
 .5. ' Twas thus by the glare of false science be- 
 trayed, 
 
 That leads, to bewilder, and dazzles to blind ; 
 My thoughts wont to roam, from shade onward 
 to shade 
 
 Destruction before me, and sorrow behind. 
 £)! pity, great Father of light, then I cried, 
 Thy creature who fain would not wander fron> 
 thee ; 
 
 Lo! humble, in dust, I relinquish my pride. 
 From doubt and from darkness thou only can'st 
 free. 
 
 i6. And darkness and doubt are now" flying away ; 
 No longer I roam in conjecture forlorn ; 
 So breaks on the traveller, faint, and astray, 
 The bright and the balmy effulgence of morn. 
 See truth, love, and n;iercy, in triumph descendr 
 
 And nature all glowing in Eden's first bloona i 
 On the cold cheek of death, smiles and roses 
 
 are blending, 
 And beauty imm.ortal awakes from the tomb» 
 
[137] 
 
 SONG 78. 
 
 L ARISE, O! Zion, rise and shine, 
 
 Behold thy hght is come ; 
 Thy glorious conquering king is near, 
 
 To take his exiles home. 
 His trumpet's sounding through the sky. 
 
 To set poor captives free — 
 The day of wonder now is come, 
 
 The year of Jubilee. 
 
 2. Ye heralds blow your trumpets loud, 
 
 The earth shall know her doom ; 
 Go spread the news from pole to pole, 
 
 Behold the judge is come ; 
 Blow out the sun, burn up the earth, 
 
 Consume the rolling flood ; 
 While every star shall disappear, 
 
 Go turn the moon to blood. 
 
 3. Arise, ye nations under ground, 
 
 Before the Judge appear ; 
 All tongues and languages shall come, 
 
 Their final doom to hear. 
 King Jesus on his dazzling throne, 
 
 Ten thousand angels round ; 
 And Gabriel with a silver trump, 
 
 Echoes an awful sound. 
 
 4. The glorious news of gospel grace, 
 
 To sinners now is o'er ; 
 The trump in Zion now is still, 
 
 And to be heard no more. 
 The watchmen all have left their walls, 
 
 And with their flocks above, 
 On Canaan's happy shore they sing, 
 
 And shout redeeming loye. 
 
[138] 
 
 SONG 79. 
 
 L COME all my brethren in the Lord, 
 
 Whose hearts are joined in o^ne ; 
 Hold up your heads^ v/ith caurage boldf 
 
 Your race is almost run — 
 Above the clouds behold him stands 
 
 And smiling bid you come; 
 And angels whispering you away^ 
 
 To your eternal home* 
 
 2. A pilgrim on his dying hed^ 
 
 With glory in his soul, 
 Upward he lifts his longing eyes. 
 
 Towards the blissful goal ; 
 While friends and children w^eep around. 
 
 And loathe to let him go, 
 He shouts? with his expiring bre<ith> 
 
 And leaves them all below. 
 
 B. O ! christians are you ready now. 
 
 To cross the rolling flood ? 
 On Canaan's happy shore, behold 
 
 And see your smiling God. 
 The dazzling charms of those bright worlds^ 
 
 Attracts my soul above ; 
 My tongue shall shout redeeming gracci 
 
 When perfected in love. 
 
 4. Go on, my brethren in the Lord, 
 
 Pm bound to meet you there -; 
 Although we tread enchanted ground^ 
 
 Be bold and never fear. 
 Fight on, fight on ye valiant souls, 
 
 The land appears in view ; 
 I hope to gain sweet Canaan's shore^ 
 
 And there to meet with you. 
 
[139] 
 
 5. Salv:ation to our conquering King, 
 
 Then let the echo rise ; 
 While the repeat is sung above^ 
 
 By armies in the skies. 
 O 1 christians help me praise the Lamb, 
 
 Who died for you and me ; 
 We^U sing his praises as we go^ 
 
 And shout eternally, 
 
 6. Farewell my brethren in the Lord^ 
 
 Until we meet again ; 
 Perhaps in time, or as we rise^ 
 
 Above the fiery main^ 
 We'll join the royal armies bright^ 
 
 In presence of the Lamb ; 
 We'll tune our harps, and sing fr^ grace, 
 
 In love's eternal flame.

 And symphony increases above the ethereal blue,

 Who came from heaven to save us, when lost 
 and undone ; 
 
 No angel could redeem us, no seraph could re- 
 trieve us. 
 
 Ho arm could relieve us^ but Jesus' alone. 
 
[140] 
 
 3. In him I have believed, he has my soul re- 
 
 trieved, 
 
 From sin he has redeemed my spirit lost and 
 dead, 
 
 And now I love my Saviour, for I am in his fa- 
 vour. 
 
 And hope with him forever the golden streets 
 to tread. 
 
 4. Yet here awhile I stay, in hope of that glad 
 
 rlay, 
 
 When I am called away, to the mansions above; 
 There to enjoy the treasure, of unconsuming 
 pleasure. 
 
 And shout in highest measure, Hallelujahs of

 1. I AM on my way to Heaven ? 
 My sins are all forgiven ; 
 How thankful, thankful, thankful am I ; 
 
 Down from the holy city. 
 
 The Lord did look in pity. 
 And mercy, mercy he sent from the sky. 
 
 My great burthen to lighten. 
 
 My evidence to brighten. 
 
 And to reveal his love to me. 
 
 And thus my joys to heighten i 
 Should earth and hell against me join> 
 
 My soul they cannot frighten, 
 For iesusj Jesus^ I find him my friend.. 
 
2. 0 i what a loving Saviour 1 
 How ready to shew favor, 
 
 To sinnero like me, who have strayed from their 
 God : 
 
 I, like a wretched scoffer, 
 
 Refused. every offer, 
 But stili he pursued with the cries of his blood. 
 
 The law then did arrest me, 
 
 My nature did oppress me, 
 
 And all the sins that I had done 
 
 Then sorely did distress me : 
 But when the good Physician came, 
 
 He healed my soul and blessed ma ; 
 Then Jesus, Jesus^ I found was my frlenda 
 
 3. Not all this world's gay pleasure 
 Affords such lasting treasure, 
 
 As Jesus' love when v/e feel it to flow ; 
 
 Until our body^s risen, 
 
 We'll fear no bonds or prison, 
 As Jesus looks down and he guards us below i 
 
 Our Jesus he doth arm us, 
 
 His spirit now doth w^arm us, 
 And if to Jesus we prove true^ 
 
 No enemy can harm us: 
 Should death invade our mortal frams, 
 
 This never can alarm us, 
 For Jesus, Jesus we find him our friend.

 So many sinners fleeing^ 
 
 To Jesus whose ways are all pleasure and peacQ ;

 They offered for us here 1 
 
 7. Wnlle they have gained we lesser? are^ 
 
 We miss them day by day ; 
 But thou canst every breach repair, 
 And wipe our tears away. 
 
 S.. We pray, as in Elisha's case, 
 When threat Elijah went, 
 May double portions af thy grace. 
 To us who stay,, be seat,. 
 
 ■ . SONG 97. 
 
 1. My soul, come,, meditate the day, 
 When Zicn's light shall come ; 
 When you shall hear your Saviour say, 
 " O ! come, ye exiles home." 
 
[167] 
 
 2. Ten thousand chariots in a cloud, 
 
 King Jesus leads the way ; 
 Attending angels round him crowd : 
 It is the judgment day. 
 
 3. The seven trumpets loudly roar, 
 
 And shake the earth and sky ; 
 The ocean left each frighted shore ; 
 Behold the sea is dry. 
 
 4. Thexonsiellations once so bright, 
 
 The sun and moon likewise 
 Have now forgot to give their light ; 
 The dead begin to rise. 
 
 5. My God, my Gpdj what do I see ? 
 
 From pole to pole around, 
 The opening of eternity, 
 
 A space that hath no bound. 
 
 6. The great w^iite throne doth now appear 
 
 Behold the Judge is come ; 
 This is the awful day and year, 
 When all must hear their doom. 
 
 7. Before the throne a sea of glass 
 
 Where all his saints must stand t 
 MethinJcs I see the Judge's face, 
 And hear the dread command. 
 
 8. Ye fallen angels first draw near, 
 
 Who first provoked my ire I 
 My w^eighty vengeance you shall bear, 
 In everlasting fire. 
 
 9. Methinks I see an awful band^ 
 
 Of Adam's fallen race : 
 Poor wretches, now compelled to stand 
 Before their judg^^s face. 
 
[188] 
 
 10,. Ye drunkards, swearers, liars tooj 
 Who once despised my love i 
 Ye unbelieving prayerless crew,. 
 My utmost wrath shall prove. 
 
 11. Four beasts, and elders twenty-four, 
 Fall down before the throne ; 
 The last tremendous trumpets roar^ 
 The heralds cry, "'tis done." 
 
 I. BEHOLD that great and awful day 
 Of parting soon will come, 
 When sinners must be hurled away, 
 And christians gathered home. 
 
 Perhaps the parent sees the child 
 Sink down to endless flames, 
 
 With howls and shrieks and bitter cries, 
 Never to rise again. 
 
 3. Sinners with Dives for water cry, 
 And gnaw their tongues in pain ; 
 They gnash their teeth and parch and fry, 
 And wring their hands in vain* 
 
 4 Now hail! all hail! you frightful ghosts,. 
 With v/hom I once did dwell, 
 And spent my days in frantic mirths, 
 And danced my soul to hell. 
 
 5. You once did draw me into sin, 
 To dance and sport and please ; 
 With devils now you must combiuo,, 
 My torments to increase. 
 
[169] 
 
 6. O ! father see my blazing hands f 
 Mother, behold your child ! 
 Ag^ainst you now a witness stands, 
 Amidst the flames confined ! 
 
 I'. The child perhaps the parents view 
 Go head!on£^ down to hell ; 
 Depart with all the hellish crew, 
 And bid the child farewell. 
 
 8. The sister may her brother see, 
 For whom she cried and prayed. 
 Sink down to endless misery : 
 Alas 1 my brother's dead* 
 
 9* The husband sees his piteous w^ife* 
 
 With whotn he once did dwells 
 . Depart w^ith groans and bitter cries^ 
 My husband fare you well. 
 
 10. But 0 ! perhaps the wife may see 
 
 The man she once did love, 
 Sink down to endless misery, 
 While she is crowned above. 
 
 11. Then shall the saints through grace divine, 
 
 Drink in eternal love ; 
 In Jesus' image there to shine, 
 And reign with him above. 
 
 12. O ! how it melts my soul to think 
 
 Of meeting round the throne, 
 Eternal joys we then shall drink 
 Where sorrows never come. 
 
 13. Their tears shall all be wiped away, 
 
 And glory will begin ; 
 The lamb of God will smiling say, 
 Come in, my friends, come in. 
 
[170] 
 
 14. Here is a crown laid up for you, 
 Come, wear it as your due; 
 Here's glories, glories ever new, 
 Christ purchased them for you. 
 
 1. THE gospel sun is mounted high, 
 His fiery chariot in the sky ; 
 
 The wheels as streams of lightning roll,- 
 And spread the light from pole to pole. 
 
 2. Those four have each their faces four, 
 Their wings as many waters roar ; 
 They haste to sweep their ample round,- 
 The resurrection trump to sound, 
 
 3. The man upon the mountain stands, 
 And spreads abroad his bleeding hands i 
 lie turns his father's wrath away ; 
 
 O ! hear him for his m.urderers pray^* 
 
 4. Behold the lion clothed in blood, 
 Pre vailed to read the book of God ; 
 And has the keys of death and Hell, 
 His name is king Im^manusL 
 
 5. The ox inured to bear the load, 
 Stands and endures the wrath of God ; 
 He was upon the altar slain, 
 
 To save us from eternal pain. 
 
 6. The flying eagle spreads his wings, 
 And represents the King of Kings ; 
 
[171] 
 
 And has in heaven prepared a nest. 
 For all his little ones to rest, 
 
 7. He has descended from the sky^ 
 To teach us mortals how to fly ; 
 The eyes of faith the wings of love^ 
 ^he gales of mercy to improve.. 
 
 mm 100. 
 
 1. WHAT does the beast to us declare^ 
 Who does in human form appear ? 
 The wisdom of the infinite 
 
 Who changes darkness into light, 
 
 2. The myrtery farther to u'lfold^ 
 What indicates th^ ffon Bbld ? 
 'T'fje justice cf Almighty God, 
 ^'hat roars aloud for sinners' bioodo 
 
 3. What can be learned by the, ox. 
 Whose dying groans did rend the rocks ? 
 He does the love of God pourtray. 
 
 For he became the lion's prey. 
 
 4. Speak, mighty eagle, tell us why, 
 You left your nest above the sky ? 
 I did descend the starry roadj 
 
 To shew the power of a God, 
 
[172] 
 
 5, God*s wisdom through the man we see, 
 When he was groaning on the tree 5 
 The lion, justice satisfied. 
 
 When lo ! the ox for sinners died, 
 
 6, The power of sin, nor death nor hell, 
 Could hold the prince Immanuel ; 
 
 He flew aloft with eagle's wings, 
 
 And took his throne, the King of kings, 
 
 7, He reigns unrivalled on his throne, 
 His name is High and Lofty One ; 
 Ten thousand times ten thousand sing, 
 The victories of their matchless King. 
 
 6. Bright Prince of Light, Almighty God, 
 Who rules all nations with a rod ; 
 Those who refuse thy love to feel, 
 Shall sink by vengeance down to helL 
 
 HAIL wisdom, glorious attribute. 
 Exalts the man above the brute ; 
 This attribute was v/ell displayed, 
 When earth's foundation first was laid. 
 
 % Justice with wisdom doth combine. 
 And both with equal lustre shine ; 
 Two glorious lights upon the road. 
 Directing pilgrims home to God, 
 
[173] 
 
 3. O ! love, thou darling in the train, 
 Through thee I view my Saviour slain ; 
 Poor sinners weltering in their blood, 
 By thee are made the sons of God. 
 
 4. Hail power, great tremendous name, 
 The flaming angels shout thy fame ; 
 By thee this world its form assumed, 
 By thee this world shall be consumed. 
 
 5. Bright wisdom, justice, love and power, 
 Were seen in Jesus' dying hour ; 
 
 His wisdom plainly was displayed. 
 When he did bruise the serpent's head. 
 
 6. Justice and love, at once appear. 
 From bursting veins and flowing tears ; 
 His power appears to us as well, 
 
 In conquering all the hosts of hell. 
 
 7. Hail him, ye lovely saints of his ; 
 You now may drink peculiar bliss : 
 The fountain runs both deep and wide, 
 Proceeding from your Saviour's side. 
 
 8. O ! may we he beneath this cross. 
 And count all earthly things but dross ; 
 Meanwhile the balmv stream drink in, 
 Which purifies us from all sin, 
 
 9. And when Vve leave this earthly clod. 
 We'll reign in heaven with our God ; 
 And as eternal ages pass. 
 
 We'll drink and sing, and shout free grace.

 SONG 102. 
 
 1. METIIINKS I see the chariots fly, 
 Drawn by four beasts around the sky ; 
 Their constant cry is come and see 
 And hasten to the Jubilee, 
 
 2. The man, the gospel trumpet blows. 
 The lion roars, the ox loud lows, 
 The eagle spreads his wings abroad, 
 And bears them on the gospel road. 
 
 3. So must the man that's sent to preach 
 The gospel word, and men to teach ; 
 Although he's but a feeble man, 
 
 He must those mysteries contain, 
 
 4. Wise as a serpent he must be. 
 Preach wisdom in a mystery ; 
 God's utmost council to unfold, 
 Undaunted as the lion bold, 
 
 5. As patient oxen on the road, 
 
 "He wears the yoke and bears the load ; 
 Through persecution like a flood, 
 Goes lowing with the ark of God. 
 
 6. He still looks on with eagle's eyes. 
 With eagle's wings he mounts the skies, 
 And traces oft the. airy road, 
 
 And then converses v/ith his God. 
 
 7. When he's commanded to the sky, ^ 
 He then shall lay his armour by, 
 And for the cress receive a crown, 
 And reign with Jesus on a throne. 
 
 R. God will reward bis labors then, 
 W hen he beholds the souls of men, 
 
[175] 
 
 Whom he, through a Redeemer's blood, 
 Has brought to know a pardoning God. 
 
 9. They then shall witli him join to praise 
 The wonders of redeeming grace ; 
 And through eternal ages tell, 
 * Twas Jesus saved their sonh from hell. 
 
 SONG lOS. 
 
 1. COME, all my dear brethren, draw near, 
 
 And hearken to my sad complaint ; 
 My burthen's too heavy to bear ; 
 
 And my soul is ready to faint. 
 Some pity I pray show to me, 
 
 Who's burthened with sorrow and fear> 
 And cause those foul spirits to flee, 
 
 That sink my poor soul in despair. 
 
 My body's tormented with pain, 
 
 My misery my tongue cannot tell ; 
 I cannot much longer sustain. 
 
 The burthen will sink me to hell. 
 Help, help^ by your prayers or I'm gone^ 
 
 If- pity you have in your breast ; 
 My hell in this world is begun, 
 
 I am with foul spirits possessed. 
 
 3. That God that I once feared and loved, 
 
 And walked with from morning till night, 
 Though often in darkness I roved. 
 His spirit still brought me to light. 
 
[178] 
 
 But now I that spirit have grieved, 
 And fear it no more wiW return ; 
 
 And am of all comfort bereaved, 
 And shortly in hell I must burn. 
 
 Oft times v>^ith this tormenting thought,. 
 
 The devil distressed my mind, 
 That many before you have sought, 
 
 But mercy they never could find. 
 The day of God's grace novv^ is o'er. 
 
 With you 'tis forever too late ; 
 And Jesus will hear you no more : 
 
 The bottomless pit is your fate. 
 
 . I wander to and fro all alone, 
 
 Quite abandon myself to despair ; 
 All sparks of kind hope now are gone, 
 
 Expecting God's vengeance to bear ; 
 When the sun disappears in the west. 
 
 The earth ail enveloped in gloom ; 
 The hour for m.ortals to rest, 
 
 But still 1 continue to roam. 
 
 . I envy the birds of the ah% 
 
 Whom nature has clothed so gay ; 
 Who free from all sorrov/ and care, 
 
 But cheerfully sing from each spray, j 
 Through a chaos of darkness I range 
 
 The woodland, the valley and plain ; 
 To friends and acquaintance I'm strange, 
 
 No hope to enjoy them again. 
 
 . They oft times advise m.e in vain ; 
 
 Their counsels I cannot endure ; 
 And preaching to me is a pain ; 
 
 My wound seems too deep for a cur^. 
 Two years in this dungeon Vv^ lain, 
 
 No visible hope of relief i 
 
[177] 
 
 My prayers and my tears are in vain, 
 My flesh is consumed with grief. 
 
 8. The world looks with wonder to see, 
 
 A wretch so forsaken, forlorn ; 
 There are none appear wretched as me- 
 
 I wish that F'd never been born. 
 He hedges my way up with stone ; 
 
 When I cry he will shut out my prayer ; 
 Unpitied, unnoticed I groan, 
 
 Imprisoned in gloomy despair, 
 
 9. My health, strength and prospects are Io»t, 
 
 My soul is forever undone ; 
 Inured to cold rains, snow and frost, 
 
 Or scorched by the rays of the sun. 
 Farewell to my past hopes of heaven, 
 
 Farewell, my dear brethren, farewell, 
 I must die with my sins unforgiven. 
 
 And take up my dwelling in helL 
 
 10. If yet there was mercy for me ; 
 
 If yet there might pardon be found ; 
 If God has not fixed the decree. 
 
 There might be a cure far my wound. 
 As hell is my portion I yield. 
 
 Resolving no longer to ptay ; 
 No longer range forest nor field, 
 
 But wait till death takes me away. 
 
 11. Thus prayerless some months I remained, 
 Resigned to my dreadful fate ; 
 Till my bodily health 1 regained. 
 
 But my soul in the same wretched state. 
 One night there appeared in a dream, 
 
 A great congregation to ms ; 
 And while they were praising Good's name, 
 I thought that mv soul was set free. 
 '02 
 
[17S] 
 
 12. Soon after, persuaded, I went 
 
 Where thousands of souls did appear; 
 Who came as appeared, with intent, 
 
 The glorious gospel to hear. 
 The wakihmen were crying aloud, 
 
 And giving the trumpet's alarm ; 
 I anxiously pressed through the crowd, 
 
 My soul seemed impelled with the charm. 
 
 13. My dungeon beginning to shake, 
 
 Grace pouring amain from the sky ; 
 The powers of hell were drove back, 
 
 I felt the unspeakable joy ; 
 I leaped, and I shouted and cried, 
 
 Salvation to God and the Lamb, 
 I felt the atonement applied, 
 
 The spirit attested the same. 
 
 SONG 104. 
 
 MY loving fellow travellers. 
 
 Who are for Canaan bound : 
 Let's raise a song for Jesus, 
 
 Make hills and vallies sound; 
 Though troubles do beset us. 
 
 While in this barren place, 
 Yet Jesus will be with us. 
 
 And keep us by his grace. 
 
 . Though Infernal spirits tempt us, 
 Our souls they would beguile ; 
 And worldlings persecute us, 
 At us they laugh and smile. 
 
[179] 
 
 The world would fain allure Uf=?, 
 And bring us into thrall ; 
 
 But glory be to'Jesas! 
 
 Through him we'll conquer all. 
 
 3. Since we are so surrounded, 
 
 Our numbers are so few, 
 Let us unite the closer, 
 
 To Jesus still prove true : 
 The wolf can never harm us, 
 
 While in our shepherd's care ; 
 But if we once be parted, 
 
 The wolf will soon appear. 
 
 4. By love unto each other. 
 
 And to our brethren dear, 
 Let's strengthen one another, 
 
 And feel each other's care. 
 - Press forward on our journey ; 
 
 Keep Zion still in view ; 
 In spite of all opposers 
 
 The Lord will bring us through. 
 
 5. The faithful do experience 
 
 And that from day to day, 
 That Jesus is sufficient 
 
 For all that watch and pray. 
 Ye faithful pilgrims trust him ; 
 
 He'll keep you to the end : 
 Though men and devils tempt you, 
 
 Still Jesus is you friend. 
 
 6. Jesus beholds from heaven 
 
 Your labors and your pains 5 
 Press on, ye valiant soldiers, 
 
 The prize you soon shall gain. 
 Jesus is now in glory, 
 
 His children there we'll meet : 
 
[180 j 
 
 We shall know one another; 
 Oar joys will be complete. 
 
 7. Oar w^arfare is nearer over, 
 
 Than when we last did meet, 
 Who next shall leave the army 
 
 To walk the golden streets t 
 No matter which, my brethren. 
 
 Since Jesus gives the call « 
 If I'm the next poor pilgrim, 
 
 With Christ Pll leave you alL 
 
 8. Come, let us sing his praises, 
 
 Lest we should meet no more, 
 Till Jesus lands his army 
 
 On that delightful shore \ 
 Sing glory, Hallelujah ; 
 
 Sweet Jesus, quickly come 1 
 Prepare us for thy kingdom. 
 
 And call thy servants home i 
 
 SONG 105. 
 
 1. O t happy souls, how fast ye go, 
 And leave me here behind ; 
 Don't stop for me. 
 For now I see. 
 The Lord is just and kind. 
 Go on, go on, my soul says go^ 
 And I'll come after you ; 
 Though I'm behind, 
 Yet I can find. 
 And sing hosannas too. 
 
L181j 
 
 2. God give you strength that you may pray, 
 And keep your footsteps right ; 
 
 Though fast you go, 
 And I so slov/, 
 You are not out of sight. 
 When you get to the world above. 
 And all the glory see ; 
 
 When you get home, 
 Your journey's done^ 
 Then look you out for me. 
 
 3. For I will come fast as I can, 
 Along that way I steer ; 
 
 Lord give me strength, 
 That I at length, 
 Be one among you there. 
 There altogether we shall be, 
 Together we shall sing, 
 Together we, 
 Shall praise our God 
 And everlasting King. 
 
 SONG m 
 
 1. LET sinners toil with ceaseless pain, 
 
 To heap up earthly treasure; 
 The christian strives of grace to gain. 
 
 Each day a fuller measure. 
 On earth the Pilgrim has no home | 
 
 His w^ork is toil and danger ; 
 But glory is his constant aim, 
 
 Though here he's but a stranger. 
 
[182] 
 
 2. Though from his home, his God is nigh, 
 
 His smile new hope still raises ; 
 He travels into v/orlds above, 
 
 To join the Saints in praises. 
 Though foes unite, and he is frail, 
 
 Beset around with danger ; 
 His guard and guide now reigns on high, 
 
 And will not leave the stranger. 
 
 3* The holy men of ages past, 
 
 Had here no place of resting ; 
 When foes v/ithout and fears within, 
 
 Were still their peace molesting. 
 They viewed themselves but pilgrims here, 
 
 Exposed each hour to danger ; 
 They always sought their home above. 
 
 And lived on earth as strangers. 
 
 4. Cast out and poor, was Jesus sold ! 
 
 So reads the mournful story ; 
 Though friendless then, exalted nowy 
 
 He is the Lord of glory. 
 No longer then let christians grieve, 
 
 To meet with toil and danger, 
 Since these befell the Lord of All, 
 
 While in this world a stranger. 
 
 5. Sometimes a sigh his peace disturbs^ 
 
 When in the way he.^s weary ; 
 When sorrows press, and strength is faint, 
 
 And all around looks dreary. 
 To Jesus then he turns his eye, 
 
 And views him in a manger ! 
 His sighs are hushed ! he's willing now. 
 
 On earth to be a stranger ! 
 
 6. As pilgrims then, let's journey on. 
 
 Nor murmur when we suffer ; 
 
[183] 
 
 We'll go the way the prophets went 
 Although it were much rougher ! 
 
 The thorny road will lead us home, 
 When freed from sins and danger ; 
 
 We'll bless our God in ceaseless songs. 
 But then we'll not be strangers !

 1. ENLISTED in the cause of sin, 
 
 Why should a good be evil ? 
 Music, alas ! too long has been 
 
 Pressed to obey the devil I 
 Drunken, or lewd, or light, the lay 
 
 Flows to the soul's undoing, 
 Widens and strews with flowers the way 
 
 Down to eternal ruin, 
 
 2. Who on the part of God will rise I 
 
 Innocent mirth recover : 
 Fly on the prey and take the prize ; 
 
 Plunder the carnal lover ? 
 Strip him of every moving strain, 
 
 Of every melting measure; 
 Music in virtue's cause retain, 
 
 Rescue the holy pleasure ? 
 
 3. Come, let us try if Jesus' love. 
 
 Cannot as well inspire us : 
 This is the theme of those above ; 
 This upon earth will fire us. 
 
[184] 
 
 Try if your hearts are tuaed to sing I 
 
 Is there a subject greater ? 
 Melody all its strains may bring ; 
 
 Jesus' love is sweeter. 
 
 4, Jesus the soul of music is ; 
 
 He is the noblest passion ; 
 Jesus' name is life and peace. 
 
 Happiness and sal vation ; 
 Jesus' name the dead can raise^ 
 
 Shew us our sins forgiven, 
 Fill us with all the life of grace. 
 
 And carry us to heaven, 
 
 ,5. Who hath a right like us to sing, 
 
 Us who his mercy raises ? 
 Merry our hearts, for Christ is king ; 
 
 Joyful are all our faces. 
 Who of his love doth once partake. 
 
 He in the Lord rejoices ; 
 Melody in our hearts we make. 
 
 Melody with our voices, 
 
 €. He that a sprinkled conscience hath, 
 
 He that in God is merry ; 
 Let him sing psalms, the scriptures saith 
 
 Joyful and never weary | 
 Offer the sacrifise of praise 
 
 Hearty and never ceasing; 
 Spiritual Songs and Anthems raise. 
 
 Worship and thanks and blessing. 
 
 7. Come, let us in his praises join, 
 Triumph in his salvation ; 
 Glory ascribe to love divine, 
 
 Worship and adoration ; 
 Heaven already is begun 
 Opened in each believer ; 
 
[185] 
 
 Only believe and then sing on, 
 And heaven is yours forever. 
 
 SONG 108. 
 
 1. What sound is this salutes mine ear? 
 Methinks it's Jubil's trump I hear, 
 
 Long looked for now is come — 
 It shakes the heavens, earth and sea, 
 Proclaims the year of Jubilee ; 
 
 Return ye exiles home, 
 
 2. Behold the new Jerusalem 
 Illuminated by the Lamb, 
 
 In glory doth appear — 
 Fair Zion rising from the tombs, 
 To meet the bridegroom now he comes, 
 
 And hails the Jubile year. 
 
 3. King Jesus takes her in his arms ; 
 Transported with his lovely charms, 
 
 She thus begins to sing— 
 ** The howling winter's gone and past. 
 The smiling season's come at last ; 
 
 Behold the rosy spring." 
 
 4. As lark and linnet gladly sing, 
 
 While hills and valleys round them ring, 
 
 ' Scaped from the fowler's snare ; 
 One thousand years she here shall dwell, 
 And sing while Satan's chained in hell, 
 Which ends the Jubile year.

 .5, The dragon is let loose once mor« ; 
 All round the earth his trumpets roaXt 
 
 And is for war again — 
 But he that sits upon the throne. 
 Drives Satan and his armies down 
 
 To plow the fiery main. 
 
 The seventh trumpet we shall hear 
 The great v/hite throne shall then appear. 
 
 Ten thousand angels round. 
 Jehovah turns the moon to blood, 
 Blows out the sunj consumes the flood, 
 
 And burns the solid ground, 
 
 7. Arise, ye nations and come forth. 
 
 From east and west, from south and northi 
 
 Behold the Judg-e is come. 
 What horror strikes each guilty breast, 
 Compelled to stand the solemn test, 
 
 And hear their final doom_. 
 
 B. Depart, ye cursed, down to hell, 
 With howling fiends forever dwell, 
 
 No more to see my face. 
 My gospel calls you have withstood, 
 And trampled on my precious blood, 
 
 And laughed at offered grace. 
 
 See parents and their children part, 
 Some shout for joy, some bleed in heart, 
 
 Never to meet again. 
 In fiery chariots Zion flies, 
 And quickly gains the upper skies, 
 
 On Canaan's dazzling plain. 
 
 iO. My soul is struggling to be there 1 — 
 I long to rise and wing the air. 
 To trace the heavenly road.

 Adieu, adieu all earthly things : 
 O ! that I had some angel's wings, 
 rd quickly «ee my God. 
 
 SONS I0#r 
 
 1, THAT glorious day is drawing nigh, 
 
 'When Zion's light shall come ; 
 She shall arise and shine on high, 
 
 Bright as the rising sun : 
 The north and south their songs resign. 
 
 And earth's foundation bend. 
 Adorned as a bride Jerusalem 
 
 All glorious shall descend, 
 
 2, The king who wears the golden crown. 
 
 The azure flaming bow, 
 The holy city shall bring down, 
 
 To bless the church below. 
 When Zion's bleeding conquering King, 
 
 Shall sin and death destroy, 
 The morning stars shall together sing, 
 
 And Zion shout for joy. 
 
 8, The holy bright musician band,, 
 
 Who sing on harps of gold, 
 Just by the course along they stand, 
 
 Their gentle numbers roll ^ 
 Descending with such melting strains, 
 
 Jehovah they adore ; 
 Such shojits through earth's extensive plains, 
 
 Were never heard before. 
 
[188] 
 
 4. Let Satan rage and boast no more, 
 
 Nor think his reign is long ; 
 Though saints are feeble, weak and poor, 
 
 Their great Redeemer's strong ; 
 In storms he is our hiding place, 
 
 A covert from the wind ; 
 A stream from the rock in th3 wilderness 
 
 Runs through this weary land. 
 
 5. This crystal stream runs down from Heav 
 
 It issues from the throne ; 
 The floods of strife away are driven ; 
 
 The church becomes but one : 
 That peaceful union she shall know, 
 
 And live upon his love ; 
 And shout and sing of his name below, 
 
 As angels do above, 
 
 6. A thousand years shall roll around ; 
 
 The church shall be xjomplete ; 
 Called by the glorious trumpet's sound, 
 
 Their Saviour they shall meet ; 
 They rise with joy and mount on high ; 
 
 They fly to Jesus' arms ;

 1. HOW happy every child of grace, 
 The soul that's filled with j oy and peace, 
 That bears the fruits of righteousness, 
 
 And kept by Jesas^ poweFj, 
 Their trespasses are all forgiven, 
 They antedate the joys of heaven. 
 
 In rapturous lays, shout the praise, 
 Of Je-^us' grace to a lost race, 
 Of sinners brought to happiness. 
 Through the atoning blood of Jesus^ 
 
 3. Satan may tempt and hell may rage, 
 And all the powers of earth besiege — 
 Their united strength may engage 
 
 To pluck a soul from Jesus. 
 
 The faithful soul laughs them to scorn ;; 
 
 He's heaven bound, he's heaven born, 
 
 He'll watch and pray, night and day^ 
 Fight his way, win the day, 
 
 And all his enemies dismay 
 
 Through the mighty name of Jesus* 
 
 S. Q,! monster death, thy sting is dmwn ; 
 
 0 I boasting grave, no trophies won : 
 
 The saints triumph through grace alone, 
 To praise the name of Jesus.. 
 
 At length he bids the world adieu„ 
 
 With all its vanity and shew— 
 
 The soul does fly through the skies. 
 To paradise,, and joins its voice, 
 
 In rapturous lays of love to praise 
 
 The glorious name of Jesus. 
 
 4. When Gabriel's awful trump shall sound. 
 And round the rocks convulse the ground,. 
 And swear that time is at an end, 
 
 Ye dead arise to judgment.

 See lightning3 flash, and thunders roll. 
 
 The earth wrapt like a parchment scroll. 
 Comets blaze^ sinners raise^ 
 Dread amaze^ and horrors seiz.e^ 
 
 The guilty sons of Adam's racei^ 
 
 Unsaved from sin by Jesus. 
 
 5. The christian filled with rapturous joy,. 
 
 • Midst flaming w^orlds he mounts on high. 
 
 To meet his Saviour in the sky, 
 And see the face of Jesus.

 And filled with glory infinite, 
 
 Blessed day, Christians say^ 
 Will you pray, that we may 
 
 All join that happy company 
 
 To praise the name of Jesus. 
 
 SONG ni. 
 
 1. YE saints of God, come hear me telU 
 The wonders of Immanuel, 
 How he doth send his truth abroad. 
 To bring lost sinners home to God. 
 He sends his word of powder divine. 
 And searches out the inmost mind ; 
 Exposes sin most clear to view» 
 And tells the sinner what to do ; 
 Namely, repent and turn to God, 
 And thereby shun his vengeful rod. 
 
[191] 
 
 9. I was much plagued with outward sin. 
 But more with that which dwelt within, 
 Which always barred my Saviour out, 
 And kept me in distress and doubt ; 
 But all my fears are driven away 
 By the pure light of gospel day ; 
 It shines so clear, I must believe 
 That I do in my Saviour Uve 
 A life of love, a heaven below i 
 I've not a doubt, I feel it so. 
 
 8. Come, brethren, and rejoice with me» 
 For Jesus Christ has made me free 
 From that which did defile my heart. 
 And made me from my God depart. 
 When I by faith embraced him. 
 He filled my soul up to the brim 
 With streams of joy and love divine. 
 Which proves the promises are mine; 
 What holy joy, what heavenly bliss^ 
 To feast upon the promises. 
 
 4. If more you wish to know of me, 
 I'm happy now and hope to be, 
 While I do in this flesh remain. 
 Till I return to God again ; 
 For I do feel his love most sweet. 
 While I, like Mary, at his feet 
 Do claim a portion of his love. 
 Which lifts me up to things above ; 
 How good it is, how sweet to me ; 
 O I that mankind would all be free* 
 
 8, How grateful then ought I to prove. 
 For the sweet tokens of his love. 
 Which cheer my heart and make me bold, 
 And stamp his image on my soul ; 
 A debtor, Lord, I sure must be 
 To him whose power has saved me ; 
 
[193] 
 
 A life of lore he hath bestowed, 
 Which stays my mind on him, my God ; 
 And what doth much increase my &tore, 
 Whenever I ask he gives me more, 
 
 6. Come, brethren dear, whose joys abound, ~ 
 To hear the glorious gospel sound ; 
 Cheer up your hearts, in faith believe, 
 And glory soon you shall receive : 
 Although your race is not yet run, 
 
 You feel that heaven is now begun i 
 Then let us raise a holy song, 
 And praise him as we pass along 
 To joys above where we shall be 
 Happy through all eteraityo. 
 
 7. We're happy now while here we stay, 
 When Jesus meets us on the way, 
 And pours celestial blessings down, 
 And sheds his glory all around; 
 
 But what is that to heaven above, 
 When we shall shout redeeming love. 
 And see the happy millions there. 
 Who bore the cross and suffered here ? 
 The kingdom then we shall obtain, 
 And shouting there for ever reign.

 Where the wicked cease from troubling,, from

 Where the wicked cease from troubling, and

 For soon the reaping time will come, 
 And angels shout the harvest home^
