SELECTED HYMNS.

2 For they have no kind pastor,
Whose loving words have told
Of Jesus, the good Shepherd,
And called them to his fold;
No Sabbath School inviting
Its pleasant doors within,
No teacher's voice entreating

To leave the way of sin. CHORUS.

3 I wish that I could tell them

How Jesus came to die, When he for little children

Left his bright throne on high; And all the sad, sad story

Of sorrow which he bore, When for his crown of glory

A crown of thorns he wore. Cно.

4 And so each morn and evening,
Whene'er I kneel in prayer,
I'll ask the gracious Saviour
To send his gospel there;
That in the glorious city

In which he dwells above,
We all may sing together
Of his redeeming love. CHO.

Millennium Song. 7s & 68.

1 Rejoice, all ye believers,

And let your lights appear; The evening is advancing,

And midnight now is near;
The Bridegroom is arising,
And soon he draweth nigh;
Up, up, and watch, and wrestle,
At midnight comes the cry.
CHORUS.-Rejoice, &c.

2 See that your lamps are burning,
Replenish them with oil,
And wait for your salvation-
The end of earthly toil.
The watchers on the mountain
Proclaim the Bridegroom near;
Go meet him, as he cometh,
With hallelujahs clear.

3 Ye saints, who here in patience
Your cross and sufferings bore,
Shall live and reign forever,
When sorrow is no more.
Around the throne of glory,
The Lamb ye shall behold
In triumph cast before Him
Your diadems of gold.

4 Our Hope and Expectation,
O Jesus! now appear;
Arise, thou Sun, so longed for,
O'er this benighted sphere!
With hearts and hands uplifted,
We plead, O Lord, to see
The day of earth's redemption
That brings us unto thee.

ON THE CROSS.

Arr. by J. W. DADMUN.

1. Be-hold! behold! the Lamb of God, On the cross, on the cross. For you he shed his precious blood, On the cross, on the cross.

Now hear his "E - loi la

all-important cry,

ma sa - bactha - ni;”) Draw near and see your Saviour die

On the cross, On the cross.

2 Where'er I go, I'll tell the story
Of the cross, of the cross;
In nothing else my soul shall glory,
Save the cross, save the cross.
Yes, this my constant theme shall be,
Through time and in eternity,
That Jesus suffered death for me
On the cross, on the cross.

3 Let every mourner come and cling To the cross, to the cross; Let every Christian come and sing,

Round the cross, round the cross. Here let the preacher take his stand, And with the Bible in his hand, Proclaim the triumphs of the Lamb, On the cross, on the cross.

WESLEY.

1. Je-sus, lov - er

of my soul, Let me to thy bosom fly, While the billows near me roll, While the tempest still is high; Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,

Till the storm of life is past; Safe in to the haven guide, O receive my soul at last.

2 Other refuge have I none;

Hangs my helpless soul on thee; Leave, O leave me not alone;

Still support and comfort me;
All my trust on thee is stayed;

All my help from thee I bring;
Cover my defenceless head

With the shadow of thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
More than all in thee I find;
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,

Heal the sick, and lead the blind.

Just and holy is thy name;

I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am;

Thou art full of truth and grace.

4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,-
Grace to cover all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound;
Make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art;
Freely let me take of thee;
Spring thou up within my heart,
Rise to all eternity.

"THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD."

From Bradbury's "S. S. Melodies."

[graphic]

1. The Lord is my Shepherd, how happy am I; How tender and watchful my wants to supply!

He daily provides me with raiment and food, Whate'er he denies me is meant for my good.

2.

Trust in God.

The Lord is my Shepherd, then I must obey
His gracious commandment, and walk in his way;
His fear he will teach me, my heart he'll renew,
And though I'm so sinful, my sins he'll subdue.

3.

In death's gloomy valley no evil I'll dread,
'For I will be with thee,' my Shepherd hath said.

4.

The Lord is my Shepherd,' I'll sing with delight,
Till called to adore him in regions of light;
Then praise him, with angels, to bright harps of
gold,

The Lord is my Shepherd, how happy am I!
I'm blest while I live, and I'm blest when I die;'And ever and ever his glory behold.
