Oh, make me Thine for ever, And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never, Outlive my love to Thee. 4 Be near when I am dying; Oh, show Thy cross to me! And to my succor flying, Come, Lord, and set me free. These eyes new faith receiving, From Thine eyes shall not move; For he who dies believing Dies safely through Thy love. HYMN 232. II. 4. THE atoning work is done, The Victim's blood is shed, His people's cause to plead ; He stands in heaven their great High Priest, 2 He sprinkles with His blood The mercy-seat above; The purposes of love; But justice now withstands no more, 3 No temple made with hands, A Heavenly Priesthood His. In Him the shadows of the law 4 And though awhile He be Hid from the eyes of men, Their great High Priest again; 3 But the pains which He endured Our salvation have procured; Now above the sky He's King, Where the angels ever sing, Hallelujah! ASCENSION. HYMN 234. III. 1. AIL the day that sees Him rise, H Glorious, to His native skies Christ, awhile to mortals given, 2 There for Him high triumph waits; 3 Lo, the heaven its Lord receives! 4 Still for us He intercedes, His prevailing death He pleads; 5 Lord, though parted from our sight, 6 Master (will we ever say), HYMN 235. L. M. WH The house of God not made with hands, 2 Though now ascended up on high, 5 With boldness, therefore, at the throne, WHITSUNDAY. HYMN 236. L. M. YREATOR Spirit, by whose aid C The world's foundations first were laid, 2 Thrice Holy Fount, thrice Holy Fire, 30 Source of uncreated light, The Father's promised Paraclete ! 5 Chase from our minds th' infernal foe, 6 Make us eternal truths receive, HYMN 240. P. M. HOU, whose Almighty word THOU Chaos and darkness heard, 2 Thou who didst come to bring On Thy redeeming wing 3 Spirit of Truth and Love, Speed forth Thy flight! 4 Blessed and Holy Three, Grace, Love, and Light! Through the world, far and wide, Rolling in fullest pride, HYMN 241. L. M. GREAT God, as seasons disappear, And changes mark the rolling year, 2 Long has Thy favor crowned our days, 3 Our harvest months have o'er us rolled, And filled our fields with waving gold; Our tables spread, our garners stored! Where are our hearts to praise the Lord? 4 The solemn harvest comes apace, The closing day of life and grace; 5 Prepare us, Lord, by grace divine, HYMN 242. II. 4. BEFORE the Lord we bow, The God who reigns above, And rules the world below, Boundless in power and love. Our thanks we bring In joy and praise, Our hearts we raise 2 The nation Thou hast blest May well Thy love declare, For this bright day, 3 May every mountain height, May every tongue Be tuned to praise, And join to raise A grateful song. 4 Earth! hear thy Maker's voice, The great Redeemer own, Believe, obey, rejoice, And worship Him alone; And bow before 5 And when in power He comes, To heaven's high King CONFIRMATION. HYMN 243. MY faith looks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary, Be wholly Thine. 2 May Thy rich grace impart Strength to my fainting heart; My zeal inspire; As Thou hast died for me, 3 While life's dark maze I tread, And griefs around me spread, Be Thou my guide; Bid darkness turn to day; M2 From Thee aside. HYMN 244. C. M. Y God, accept my heart this day, That I from Thee no more may stray, No more from Thee decline. 2 Before the cross of Him who died, Behold, I prostrate fall; Let every sin be crucified, Let Christ be all in all. 3 Anoint me with Thy heavenly grace, Adopt me for Thine own; That I may see Thy glorious face, And worship at Thy throne. 4 May the dear blood once shed for me My blest atonement prove; That I from first to last may be The purchase of Thy love! 5 Let every thought, and work, and word, To Thee be ever given; Then life shall be Thy service, Lord, 2 Lo, such the child, whose early feet 3 By cool Siloam's shady rill The lily must decay; The rose, that blooms beneath the hill, 4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour Will shake the soul with sorrow's power, And stormy passion's rage. 5 O Thou, who givest life and breath, In childhood, manhood, age, and death, PRAYER. HYMN 248. III. 1. YOME, my soul, thy suit prepare, C Jesus loves to answer prayer; 2 Thou art coming to a king, Large petitions with thee bring; 3 With my burden I begin; 4 Lord, I come to Thee for rest, Take possession of my breast; 5 While I am a pilgrim here, Let Thy love my spirit cheer; As my Guide, my Guard, my Friend, 6 Show me what I have to do, DE REPENTANCE. HYMN 249. III. 1. 3 Kindled His relentings are; 4 Lo! for me the Saviour stands; Shows His wounds, and spreads His hands; God is Love! I know, I feel; Jesus weeps, and loves me still. 2 Just as I am, and waiting not To rid my soul of one dark blot, 3 Just as I am, though tossed about 4 Just as I am-poor, wretched, blind- 5 Just as I am, Thou wilt receive, 6 Just as I am, Thy love unknown FORE HYMN 251. C. M. NOREVER here my rest shall be, Close to Thy bleeding side; This all my hope, and all my plea, "For me the Saviour died." 2 My dying Saviour and my God, Fountain for guilt and sin! Sprinkle me ever with Thy blood, And cleanse and keep me clean. 3 Wash me, and make me thus Thine own; Wash me, and mine Thou art; Wash me, but not my feet alone, My hands, my head, my heart. 4 Th' atonement of Thy blood apply, JES HYMN 252. L. M. ESUS, Thy blood and righteousness My beauty are, my glorious dress; Midst flaming worlds in these arrayed, With joy shall I lift up my head. 2 When from the dust of death I rise To take my mansion in the skies, E'en then shall this be all my plea, "Jesus hath lived and died for me." 3 This spotless robe the same appears When ruined nature sinks in years; No age can change its glorious hue; The robe of Christ is ever new. |
