Encouragement. 1 YOUR harps, ye trembling saints, 2 Though in a foreign land, We are not far from home; 3 His grace will to the end Stronger and brighter shine; TOPLADY. Nor present things, nor things to come, 709. C. M. Prayer for Direction. WATTS. 1 O THAT the Lord would guide my ways To keep his statutes still!
