2 Other refuge have I none;
Hangs my helpless soul on thee:
Leave, ah! 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 Plenteous grace with thee is found.--
Grace to pardon 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.

In whom we have boldness and access with con

fidence by the faith of him.-EPH. 8. 12. ESUS, my all, to heaven is gone:

JESUS, hom I ix 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;
My grief a burden long has been,
Because I was not saved from sin.

3 The more I strove against its power
I felt its weight and guilt the more;
Till late I heard my Saviour say,
Come hither, soul, I am the way.

4 Lo! glad I come; and thou, blest Lamb.
Shall take me to thee as I am:
Nothing but sin have I to give,
Nothing but love shall I receive.

5 Then will I tell to sinners round
What a dear Saviour I have found;
I'll point to thy redeeming blood,
And say, Behold the way to God.

8,7. They saw no man, save Jesus only.-MATT. 17. & ESUS only, when the morning Beams upon the path I tread; Jesus only, when the darkness Gathers round my weary head. 2 Jesus only, when the billows Cold and sullen o'er me roll; Jesus only, when the trumpet Rends the tomb and wakes the soul 3 Jesus only, when in judgn nt Boding fears my heart appal; Jesus only, when the wretched

On the rocks and mountains call.

4 Jesus only, when, adoring,

Saints their crowns before him bring: Jesus only, I will, joyous,

Through eternal ages sing.

Whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation.DAN. 4. 8.

JESUS his successive journeys run:

ESUS shall reign where'er the sun

His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise, and set no more.
2 To him shall endless prayer be made,
And endless praises crown his head;
His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.

3 People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on his love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his name.

4 Let every creature rise and bring
Peculiar honours to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud Amer.

We love him, because he first loved us.

JESU other names above,

ESUS, thy name I love

All

Jesus, my Lord!

O! thou art all to me!

Nothing to please I see,
Nothing apart from thee,
Jesus, my Lord!

2 Thou, blessed Son of God,
Hast bought me with thy bloo
Jesus, my Lord!

O! how supreme thy love,
All other loves above,

Love that I daily prove,
Jesus, my Lord!

3 When unto thee I fee
Thou wilt my refuge be,
Jesus, my Lord!

What need I now to fear?
What earthly grief or care,
Since thou art ever near?
Jesus, my Lord!

4 Soon thou wilt come again,
I shall be happy then,
Jesus, my Lord!

Then thine own face I'll see,
Then shall I like thee be,
Then evermore with thee,
Jesus, my Lord?

Pray without ceasing.-1 THESS. &
ESUS, who knows full well

Jene heart of every saint,

Invites us all our griefs to tell,
To pray and never faint.
2 He bows his gracious ear-
We never plead in vain;
Then let us wait till he appear,
And pray, and pray again.

S. M 7.

3 Jesus, the Lord, will hear
His chosen when they cry;
Yes, though he may awhile forpear,
He'll help them from on high.

4 Then let us earnest cry,

And never faint in prayer;

He sees, he hears, and from on high Will make our cause his care.

to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;

Let every heart prepare him room,
And heaven and nature sing.

2 Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns!
Let men their songs employ :

While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains, Repeat the sounding joy.

3 No more let sin and sorrow grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;

He comes to make his blessings flow
Far as the curse is found.

4 He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove

The glories of his righteousness,
And wonders of his love.

But that thy blood was shed for me, And that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come!

To rid my soul of one dark blot,

To thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come!
