THE GOSPEL SHIP IS SAILING.

From the "Golden Chain."

9

1. The gospel ship is sail-ing, sailing, sailing, The gospel ship is sailing, All who would ship for glory, glory, glory, All who would ship for glory,

Bound for Canaan's happy shore;
Come and welcome, rich and poor.

Glory, halle lu-jah! All on board are

sweetly singing, Glo-ry, hal- le lu-jah! Hal-le- lu- jah to the Lamb!

SELECTED HYMNS.

Soldier's Funeral Hymn. 7s.
Tune "Pleyel's Hymn."

1 Mourn not that his kin are far,
While we lay him in the grave;
For his fellow soldiers are

Loving brothers of the brave.

2 And his tender mother here
Shrouds her son i' the banner, thus;
'Tis his country, loved so dear-
Mother, too, of all of us.

3 Sleeping soft, the soldier lies
Calmly, in his bed of blood;
Where, a living sacrifice,
He his body gave to God!
4 By salvation's Captain led,
In the army of the Lord,
Battle fields a dying bed

Soft and glorious afford.
5 There, amid the rage of strife,
Clash and roar of conflict grim,
While to God he gives his life,

In the storm, is calm to him.

6 Now, let martial music sound!
Beat the dead march for the brave!
Lower him gently in the ground!
Fire a volley o'er the grave!

THE BIBLE. 11s.

1. The Bible! the Bible! more precious than gold,

The hopes and the glories its

pages unfold; It speaks of a Saviour, and tells of his love; It shows us the

way to the mansions above, It shows us the way to the mansions above.
