S. M. [#] HYMN 410. S. M. Christian Hope and Joy. 1 CHRISTIANS, dismiss your fear, 2 The shades of death withdrawn, 3 Angelic hosts above The rising victor sing, And all the blissful seats of love With loud hosannas ring. 4 Ye pilgrims, too, below, Your hearts and voices raise ; Let every breast with gladness glow, HYMN 411. 10 & 11s. M. [#] Praise and Exultation. 1 O PRAISE ye the Lord; prepare a new song, And let all his saints in full concert join ; With voices united the anthem prolong, And show forth his praises with music divine. 2 Let praise to the Lord, who made us, ascend; Let each grateful heart be glad in its King; The God whom we worship our songs will attend, And view with complacence the offering we bring. 3 Be joyful, ye saints, sustained by his might, And let your glad song awake with each morn; For those who obey him are still his delight; His hand with salvation the meek will adorn. 4 Then praise ye the Lord; prepare a glad song, And let all his saints in full concert join ; With voices united the anthem prolong, And show forth his praises with music divine. HYMN 412. S. M. [#] Rejoicing in the Hope set before us. 1 Now let our voices join To form a sacred song; 2 The flowers of paradise In rich profusion spring; 3 See Salem's golden spires In beauteous prospect rise; And brighter crowns than mortals wear, 4 All honour to his name, Who marks the shining way; To him, who leads the wanderers on 26 HYMN 413. C. M. [#] God the Soul's highest Delight. 1 My God, the Spring of all my joys, 2 In darkest shades if he appear, He is my soul's sweet Morning-star, 3 The opening heavens around me shine With beams of sacred bliss, While Jesus shows his heart is mine, 4 My soul would leave this heavy clay 5 Fearless of pains and ghastly death, HYMN 414. H. M. [#] 1 O ZION, tune thy voice, And raise thy hands on high; Cheerful in God, arise and shine, With beams that cannot fade; He sheds upon thy head: Thy form the nations round shall view, 3 In honour to his name Reflect that sacred light, Which makes thy darkness bright; His praise pursue, till sovereign love The glory raise in worlds above. HYMN 415. L. M. [#] Joyful View of God's Works. 1 Now, to the God, to whom all might 2 His spirit wrapped the mantling air, He paints the gorgeous clouds of even; To noon he gives its ripening ray; To night the view of glorious heaven. 4 He drives along those sparkling globes In circles of unerring truth; He decks them all in radiant robes, And crowns them with eternal youth. 5 So will he crown the upright mind, When life and all its toils are o'er : Then let his praise, on every wind, Rise, till the winds shall wake no more. HYMN 416. C. M. [#] Joy and Praise. 1 MORTALS, awake; exult in God; His wondrous works and boundless love 2 His bounteous hand gives every good, And guides us to a life, through Christ, 3 My soul shall lift his honours high, HYMN 417. C. M. [#] Delight in the Presence of God. 1 THY presence, Lord, gives pure delight, 2 Like water to the thirsty soul |
