In you thrice happy seat,
Waiting for us they are:

And thou shalt there a husband meet
And I a parent there!

O what a mighty change

Shall Jesus' suff'rers know!
While o'er the happy plains they range,
Incapable of woe!

No ill-requited love
Shall there our spirits wound:
No base ingratitude above;

No sin in heaven is found.

There all our griefs are spent,
There all our sorrows end:
We cannot there the fall lament
Of a departed friend!
A brother dead to God,
By siu, alas! undone:

No father there, in passion loud,
Cries," O my son, my son !”
6 No slightest touch of pain,
Nor sorrow's least alloy,

Can violate our rest, or stain
Our purity of joy:
In that eternal day

ร

No clouds or tempests rise: There gushing tears are wip'd away For ever from our eyes..

HYMN 483.

With thanks for thy continued gift,
That still thy precious name we know.
Retain our sense of sin forgivin,
And wait for all our inward heav'n.

2 What mighty troubles hast thou showns Thy feeble, tempted followers here! We have thro' fire and water gone 7 But saw thee on the floods appear; But felt thee present in the flame, And shouted our Deliverer's name. 3 When stronger souls their faith forsook, And lull'd in worldly, hellish peace, Leap'd desperate from their Guardianrock,

And headlong plung'd in sin's abyss, Thy strength was in our weakness shown,

And still it guards and keeps thine own. 4 All are not lost, or wander'd back; All have not left thy Church and thee:

There are who suffer for thy sake, Enjoy thy glorious infamy, ya qər k Esteem the scandal of the Cross, And only seek Divine applause. s Thou, who hast kept us to this hour, O keep us faithful to the end! When rob'd with Majesty and Pow'r, Our Jesus shall from heav'n descend, His Friends and Confessors to own, And seat us on his glorious throne. HYMN 484.

JESU

[5. M.]

we look to thee,

Thy promis'd presence claim:

Thou in the midst of us shalt be,
Assembled in thy name:

Thy name salvation is,

Which here we come to prove; Thy name is life, and health, and peace, And everlasting love.

2 Not in the name of pride,
Or selfishness we meet:

From nature's paths we turn aside;
And worldly thoughts forget.
We meet the grace to take,
Which thou hast freely giv'n;
We meet on earth for thy dear sake,
That we may meet in heav'n.

3. Present we know thou art;
But, O, thyself reveal;

Now, Lord, let every bounding heart
The mighty comfort feel!

O may thy quick'ning voice
The death of sin remove!

And bid our inmost souls rejoice,
In hope of perfect lovel

The promis'd blessing givet

Met in thy name, we look to thee,
Expecting to receive.

2 Thee we expect, our faithful Lord,
Who in thy name are join'd:
We wait according to thy word,
Thee in the midst to find.

With us thou art assembled here,
But, O, thyself reveal!
Son of the living God, appear!
Let us thy presence feel.

4 Breathe on us, Lord, in this our day,. And these dry bones shall live: Speak peace into our hearts, and say, "The Holy Ghost receive."

Whom now we seek, O may we meet!
Jesus, the Crucified;

Shew us thy bleeding hands and feet,
Thou who for us hast died.

Cause us the record to receive!
Speak, and the tokens shew,
"O be not faithless, but believe,
who died for you!"

HYMN 487.

[8 lines 7's & 6's.]

TWO are better far than one,

For counsel or for fight;

How can one be warm alone,
Or serve his God aright?
Join we then our hearts and hands;
Each to love provoke his friend,
Run the way of his commands,r
And keep it to the end.

2 Woe to him whose spirits droop
To him who falls alone!
He hath none to lift him up, s
To help his weakness on :
Happier we each other keep:

each other's burdens bear; *}

Never need our footsteps slip,
Upheld by mutual prayer.

3 Who of twain hath made us one,
Maintains our unity:
Jesus is the Corner-Stone,
In whom we all agree:
Servants of one common Lord,
Sweetly of one heart and mind;
Who can break a threefold cord,
Or part whom God hath join'd?
4 O that all with us might prove
The fellowship of saints!
Find supply'd, in Jesu's loye,

What every member wants!
Grasp we our high calling's prize,
Feel our sins on earth forgiv'n,
Rise, in his whole image rise,
And meet our Head in heaven.

TOW happy are we, Who in Jesus
agree,

How

To expect his return from above! We sit under his vine, And delightfully

join,

In the praise of his excellent love.

2 How pleasant and sweet, In his name when we meet,

Is his fruit to our spiritual taste! We are banqueting here, On angelical cheer,

And the joys that eternally last.

s Invited by him, We drink of the stream, Ever flowing in bliss from the throne! Who in Jesus believe, We the Spirit re ceive
