Let sickness blast, and death devour, If heaven shall recompense our pains ; Perish the grass, and fade the flower, If firm the Word of God remains. 4 I dwell with all my humble saints While they on earth remain ; And they, exalted, dwell with me, With me for ever reign. Isaiah xl. 27-31. HYMN 206. C. M. HYMN 208. 11. 1. Habakkuk iii. 17-19. ALTHOUGH the vine its fruit deny: The budding fig-tree droop and die, As if the Lord o’erlook'd thy cares, No oil the olive yield; Or pitied not thy grief ? Yet will I trust me in my God, 2 Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard, Yea, bend rejoicing to his rod, That firm remains on high, And by his grace be heal’d. The everlasting throne of Him 2 Though fields, in verdure once array'd, Who made the earth and sky ? By whirlwinds desolate be laid, 3 Art thou afraid his power will fail Or parch'd by scorching beam; In sorrow's evil day? Still in the Lord shall be my trust, Can the Creator's mighty aimi My joy ; for, though his frown is just, Grow weary or decay ? His mercy is supreme. 4 Supreme in wisdom as in power 3 Though from the fold the flock decay, The Rock of Ages stands; Though herds lie famish'd o'er the lea, Thou canst not search his mind, nor trace And round the empty stall; The working of his hands. My soul above the wreck shall rise, Its better joys are in the skies; - He gives the conquest to the weak, There God is all in all. 4 In God my strength, howe'er distrest. His heavenly aids impart. I yet will hope, and calmly rest, 6 Mere human energy shall faint, Nay, triumph in his love: And youthful vigour ccase; My lingering soul, my tardy feet, But those who wait upon the Lord, Free as the hind he makes, and fleet. In strength shall still increase. To speed my course above. 7 They, with unwearied step, shall tread HYMN 209. C. M. The path of life divine; St. John xiv. 6. With growing ardour onward move, THOU art the Way, to thee alone Witlı growing brightness sline. From sin and death we flee; And he who would the Father seek, 8 On cagles' wings they mount, they soar Must seek him, Lord, by thee. On wings of faith and love; Till, past the sphere of earth and sin, Thou art the Truth, thy word alone They rise to heaven above. True wisdom can impart; Thou only canst inform the mind And purify the heart. 3 Thou art the Life, the rending tomb) My throne is six'd on high ; Proclaims thy conquering arm, There, through eternity, I hear And those who put their trust in theo The praises of the sky: Nor death nor liell shall harm, 2 Yet, looking down, I visit oft 4 Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life The humble, hallow'd cell; Grant us that way to know, And, with the penitent who mour, That trutlı to keep, that life to win. 'Tis my delight to dwell Whose joys eternal flow. 3 My presence heals the wounded heart HYMN 210. S. M. Philippians ii, 12, 13. | HEIRS o trending life, While you wa sojourn here, TIου O let us our salvation work With trembling and with fear. 2 God will support our hearts With might before unknown; The work to be perform'd is ours, The strength is all his own. 3 'Tis he that works to will, 'Tis he that works to do; His is the power by which we act, His be the glory too! L° HYMN 211. III. 1. Ephesians v. 14–17. SIN INNER, rouse thee from thy sleep, Wake, and o'er thy folly weep; Raise thy spirk dark and dead, Jesus waits his light to shed. 2 Wake from sleep, arise from death, See the bright and living path: Leave thy folly, seek the skies. 3 Leave thy folly, cease from crime, From this hour redeem thy time; 4 Be not blind and foolish still; Call'd of Jesus, learn his will: HYMN 212. C. M. Hebrews xii, 1, 2. Encompass us around; But now with glory crown'd. 2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspired, Strive in the Christian race; Their holy footsteps trace. 3 Behold a witness nobler still, Who trod affiction's path, Rewarder of our faith : And moved by pitying love, And now he reigns above. Press we, to God's right hand; There, with the Saviour and his saints Triumphantly to stand GLORIA PATRI. N. B.
