My Saviour sees the tears I shed,
For Jesus wept o'er Laz`us dead.
4 And Oh! when I have safely past
Through every conflict, but the last,-
Still, still unchanging, watch beside
My painful bed,-for thou hast died;
Then point to realms of cloudless day,
And wipe my latest tear away.

Hope of Heaven through Christ.
ND art thou, gracious Master! gone,
A mansion to prepare for me?
Shall I behold thee on thy throne,

AND

And there for ever dwell with thee?
Then, let the world approve or blame,
I'll triumph in thy glorious name.

HYMN 190, 7s.

Christ, our Hope.

HRIST, of all my hopes the ground,—
Christ, the spring of all my joy!
Still in thee let me be found,

Still for thee my powers employ.
2 Let thy love my heart inflame;
Keep thy fear before my sight;
Be thy praise my highest aim;
Be thy smile my chief delight.
3 Fountain of o'erflowing grace!

Freely from thy fullness give :
Till I close my earthly race,

Be it "Christ for me to live!"
mf 4 Firmly trusting in thy blood,
Nothing shall my heart confound;
Safely I shall pass the flood,

f

Safely reach Immanuel's ground.

5 When I touch the blessed shore,
Back the closing waves shall roll;
Death's dark stream shall never more
Part from thee my ravished soul.

mf 6 Thus,-Oh! thus, an entrance give
To the land of cloudless sky;
Having known it, "Christ to live,"
Let me know it, "gain to die.'

Christ. the Lord of Angels.

GREAT Gou

REAT God! to what a glorious height
Hast thou advanced the Lord, thy Son!

Angels, in all their robes of light,

Are made the servants of his throne.

2 Before his feet their armies wait,
And swift as flames of fire they move,
To manage his affairs of state,

In works of vengeance, or of love.

3 Now they are sent to guide our feet,
Up to the gates of thine abode,
Through all the dangers that we meet,

In traveling o'er the heavenly road.

mp 4 Lord! when we leave this mortal ground, And thou shalt bid us rise and come,Send thy beloved angels down,

The Way to Heaven.

JESUS, my all, to heaven is gone,-
He whom I fix my hopes upon;
His track I see, and I'll pursue
The narrow way, till him I view.
2 This is the way I long have sought,
And mourned because I found it not;
Till late I heard my Saviour say,-
"Come hither, soul! I am the way.
3 Lo! glad I come, and thou, blest Lamb!
Shalt take me to thee as I am;
My sinful self to thee I give-
Nothing but love shall I receive.

mf 4 Then will I tell to sinners round,
What a dear Saviour I have found;
I'll point to thy redeeming blood,

Christ's Intercession.

ES, the Redeemer's gone,
T' appear before our God;

To sprinkle o'er the flaming throne,
With his atoning blood.

2 No fiery vengeance now,

No burning wrath, comes down;
If justice calls for sinners' blood,
The Saviour shows his own.

3 Before his Father's eye

Our humble suit he moves;
The Father lays his thunder by,
And looks, and smiles, and loves.

4 Now may our joyful tongues
Our Maker's honors sing;
Jesus, the priest, receives our songs,
And bears them to the King,

The Dominion of Christ.

TAIL to the Prince of life and peace,
Who holds the keys of death and hell!
The boundless world unseen is his,

And sovereign power becomes him well.
2 In shame and anguish once he died;-
But now he lives for evermore:
Bow down, ye saints! around his seat,
And, all ye angel-bands! adore.

3 Live-live for ever, glorious Lord!
To quell thy foes, and guard thy friends;
While all thy chosen tribes rejoice,
That thy dominion never ends.

4 Worthy thy hand to hold the keys,
Guided by wisdom and by love;

Worthy to rule o'er mortal life,

O'er worlds below, and worlds above.

f" 5 For ever reign, victorious King!

Wide through the earth thy name be known! And call my longing soul to sing

Sublimer anthems near thy throne.

Our High-Priest in Heaven.

mp 1 TH atoning work is done,

The victim's blood is shed;
And Jesus now is gone

His people's cause to plead:

He stands in heaven, their great High-Priest,

And bears their names upon his breast.

2 No temple made with hands

His place of service is;

In heaven itself he stands,

A heavenly priesthood his:
In him the shadows of the law
Are all fulfilled, and now withdraw.

And take his waiting people home.

HYMN 197, C. M.

Our great High-Priest.

COME, let us join our songs of praise

To our ascended Priest:

He entered heaven, with all our names
Engraven on his breast.

2 Below, he washed our guilt away,
By his atoning blood;

Now he appears before the throne,
And pleads our cause with God.

3 Clothed with our nature still, he know
The weakness of our frame,

And how to shield us from the foes
Whom he himself o'ercame.

4 Nor time, nor distance, e'er shall quench
The fervors of his love;

For us he died in kindness here,

And intercedes above.

5 Oh! may we ne'er forget his grace,
Nor blush to hear his name;

Still may our hearts hold fast his faith,
Our lips his praise proclaim.

HOLY SPIRIT.
