e May heaven protect you, be Jesus your guide, On the walls of fair Zion may we still abide; Though we live at a distance, and you I ne'er see, On the banks of cold Jordan acquainted we'll be. 3 There all things are plenty, like Eden in bloom, To those blissful mansions no sorrow can come, No sin or temptation shall enter that place, But there we shall join in a song of free grace. 4 Farewell to all sorrow, temptation and pain, I'm going to Jesus, for ever to reign; I'm going to Jesus, 'tis him I adore, With saints and bright angels to dwell evermore. 5 Live near to the Saviour, be fervent in prayer, And while I am absent remember me there; That Jesus his gospel would crown with success, And my poor exertions to thousands would bless. 6 And when we meet Jesus in the mansions above, Where saints and bright seraphs are fill'd with his love, O, then, I shall look for these mourners now here, How glad we shall be to meet each other there! 147. 7. 6. Anon. The love of Christ constraineth us. WHILE in this vale of sorrow, travel on in pain, My heart is fix'd on Jesus, I feel him form'd within; 2 I'm on my way to glory, Which fills my soul with love; I'm bound to do my duty, Though they should not be sav'd. 3 While in my Master's vineyard, O, pray for me, my brethren, Though lands and rivers roll between, And pray for Jesus' coming, And confidently wait. 4 Farewell, my loving brethren, With Christ the Lord to reign: 148. 11's. Anon. The Christian's farewell. NAREWELL, my dear brethren, the time is at hand, F That we must be parted from this social band; 2 Farewell my dear brethren, farewell for a while, 4 Farewell, younger brethren, just listed for war, Sore trials await you, but Jesus is near; Although you must travel this dark wilderness, Your Captain's before you, he'll lead you to peace. 5 The world and the devil, and sin, all unite, And bold persecution, your souls to affright, But Jesus your Leader is stronger than they, Let this animate you to march on your way. 6 Farewell, trembling mourners, with sad broken heart, O hasten to Jesus, and choose the good part, He's full of compassion, and mighty to save, His arms are extended your souls to receive. 7 Farewell, careless sinners, for you I must mourn, To think of your danger, if still unconcern'd, I read of the judgment, where all must appear, How will you stand trembling with tormenting fear! 8 Those frolics and pastimes in which you delight, Will serve to torment you with dreadful affright, You'll think of those sermons which you've heard in vain All hope's gone for ever of hearing again. 9 Farewell, my dear brethren, farewell, all around, MISCELLANIES. 149. L. M. Altered. Sabbath morning; or, God's presence invoked. A Improve this Sabbath, then, with care,— 2 O, solemn thought! Lord, give me power O, for the wings of faith and love, 3 Be with me in thy house to-day, 4 Command my thoughts-teach them to rove Nor keep my Saviour from my breast. 150. 7's. Cowper. ESUS, lover of my soul, While the raging billows roll Hangs my helpless soul on thee; 5 Just, and holy is thy name, Thou art full of truth, and grace. 7 Thou of life the fountain art- 151. P. M. Newton. Sinners Warned. TOP, poor sinners, stop and think, Can you sport upon the brink Of everlasting woe? Hell beneath is gaping wide, Vengeance waits the dread command, O be entreated now to stop, 2 Say, have you an arm like God, With which he breaks his foes? 3 Ghastly death will shortly come, 4 Though your heart be made of steel, |
