7 The joys of heav'n will never end; All glory to the sinner's friend; Roll on ye happy scenes.
Ye winged seraphs help us praise
The author of eternal joys;
Our Jesus ever reigns.
HYMN CXXIII. 78.
Lovest thou me?
HARK, my soul! it is the Lord,
'Tis thy Saviour, hear his word, Jesus speaks and speaks to thee, "Say, poor sinner lov'st thou me?
2 "I deliver'd thee when bound,
And, when wounded, heal'd thy wound;
Sought thee wand'ring set thee right,
Turn'd thy darkness into light.
3 "Can a woman's tender care
Cease towards the child she bear!
Yes, she may forgetful be,
Yet will I remember thee.
4" Mine is a reedeeming love,
Higher than the heights above,
Deeper than the depths beneath,
Free and faithful, strong as death.
5"Thou shalt see my glory soon,
When the work of grace is done
Partner of my throne shall be,
Say, poor sinner, loy'st thou me
6 Lord it is my chief complaint, That my love is weak and faint; Yet I love thee and adore,
Oh! for grace to love thee more?
Cabinet Hymn, or, friends parting.
1OUR souls by love together knit,
Cemented mix'd in one,
One hope, one heart, one mind, one voice, 'Tis heav'n on earth begun ;
Our hearts have burn'd while Jesus spoke, And glow'd with sacred fire;
He stop'd, and talk'd, and fed, and bless'd, And fill'd th' enlarg'd desire.
A Saviour let Creation sing,
A Saviour let all heaven ring ›
He's God with us, we feel him ours,
His fulness in our souls he pours,
*Tis almost done, 'tis almost o'er,
We're joining them who're gone before,
We soon shall meet to part no more.
2 We're soldiers fighting for our God,
On him we will rely;
We'll stand unshaken, firm and fix'd
With Christ to live and die;
Let devils rage and hell assail,
The Lord will bring us through;
Let foes unite, and friends desert,
We'll keep the prize in view.
3. The little cloud increases still,
The heav'ns are big with rain;
We haste to catch the teeming show'r
And all its moisture drain:
A rill, a stream, a torrent flows,
But pour the mighty flood;
O sweep the nations, shake the earth,
Till all proclaim thee, God-
4 And when thou mak'st thy jewels up,
And sets thy starry crown,
When all thy sparkling gems shall shine,
Proclaim'd by thee thine own;
May we, the happy band of love,
We sinners sav'd by grace,
From glory into glory chang'd
Behold thee face to face.
With joy salute the happy day!
And praise your heav'nly King.
2 Salvation, now ye heav'nly choir,
Proclaim the joyful sound;
Now seraphs strike the golden lyre
And spread the news around.
3 Salvation, O, the heav'nly song
Inspire each tranquil mind;
Now may the bright angelic throng,
With us in praise be join'd.
4 Salvation, let the heav'nly choir
With raptures chant the theme:
Let mortals catch the sacred fire
And hail the judge supreme.
5 Salvation now the judge descends
Upon a shining cloud,
His spirit thro' the earth extends
And subjugates the proud.
6 Salvation sounds thro' earth and heav'n
From every heart and tongue;
Redemption free to man is giv'n,
While heav'n approves the song.
7. Let sinners, saints, and angels join
This wond'rous song to sing,
While all the pow'rs of heav'n combine
To praise th' immortal king.
HYMN CXXVI. P. M.
Gospel Jubilee.
Tune President's March.
HAIL the gospel jubilee,
Jesus comes to set us free,
L
For us he shed his precious blood,
To raise our fallen souls to God.
And since the work of suff'ring's done,
We'll glory give to God alone..
Free salvation be our boast,
Ever mindful what it cost,
Ever grateful for the prize,
Let our praises reach the skies.
Firm united let us be,
In the bonds of charity;
As a band of brothers join'd
Loving God and all mankind.
2 Rise ye heralds of the Lord,
Take the breast-plate, shield and sword,
Against the hosts of hell proclaim,
A war in Christ's all conqu'ring name.
Nor fear to gain the victory
When for this glorious liberty,
You on Jesus Christ depend-
He'll the suffering cause defend:
Place, oh place in him your trust,
He's almighty wise and just.
Firm united brethren stand,
Firm und undivided band-
Brethren dear in Jesus join'd
Fill'd with all his constant mind.
3 Sound the gospel-trumpet sound, Through the cartii's remotest bound;
