Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Oh! receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on thee; With the shadow of thy wing. I am all unrighteousness; Thou art full of truth and grace. 142. 1 HYMN XLIX. The Lamentation of a Sinner. C. M. LORD, turn not thy face from me, Before thy mercy gate. 2 A gate which opens wide to those Shut not that gate against me, Lord, 3 And call me not to strict account 4 Mercy, good Lord, mercy I ask, 1 For mercy, Lord, is all my suit; 143. HYMN L. L. M. ESUS, the Shepherd of the sheep! JESUS, Thy Little Flock' in safety keep! The flock for which thou cam'st from heav'n! The flock for which thy life was giv'n! 2 Thou saw'st them wand'ring far from thee, Secure as if from danger free: Thy love did all their wand'rings trace, 3 O may thy sheep discern thy voice, Believers, Pilgrims and Strangers on Earth. WE'VE no abiding city here;' 16 W L. M. This may distress the worldling's mind; 2 'We've no abiding city here;' Sad truth, were this to be our home; 3 O sweet abode of peace and love, I'd fly to thee, and be at rest. 4 But hush, my soul, nor dare repinë! 145. 1 FA ATHER! whate'er of earthly bliss 2 Give me a calm and thankful heart, From ev'ry murmur free; The blessings of thy grace impart, 3 Let the sweet hope that thou art mine, 'My life and death attend, Thy presence through my journey shine, I ON the mountain-tops appearing, Lo! the sacred Herald stands! Welcome news to Zion bearingZion long in hostile lands. Mourning captive! God himself will loose thy bands. 2 Has thy night been long and mournful? All thy friends unfaithful prov'd? Have thy foes been proud and scornful, By thy sighs and tears unmov'd? Čease thy mourning, Zion still is well belov'd. 3 Lo! thy sun is ris'n in glory! Zion's King vouchsafes to send. 4 Enemies no more shall trouble, End in everlasting rest.
