He is our sun and shield by day,
By night he near our tents will stay,
He will be with us all the way:-
God is love.

4. What though my heart and flesh shåll fail? God is love.

Through Christ I shall o'er death prevail,
God is love.

Through Jordan's swell I will not fear;
My Jesus will be with me there,
My head above the waves to bear:-
God is love.

1 WHEN I sleep, and when I wake,
When my daily walks I take,
Though my eyes no God can see,
Still he ever looks at me.

2 When I speak a wicked word,
By my Saviour it is heard;
Though I seek from God to flee,
Still from heaven he looks at me.

3. When I break this holy day,
And indulge in sinful play,
Could I still so thoughtless be,
If I felt he looks at me?

4. When with wicked ones I play,
When my heart forgets to pray
Though I may forgetful be,
Still my Saviour looks at me.

5. When my angry passions rise,
God can hear my sinful cries;
When rebellious I would be,
Still he ever looks at me.

6. Every disobedient word,

False or cross, in heaven is heard;
Though no human eye can see,
God my Saviour looks at me.

1. WHEN little Samuel woke,
And heard his Maker's voice,
At every word he spoke,

How much did he rejoice!

Oh, blessed, happy child! to find
The God of heaven so mild and kind.

2. If God would speak to me,

And say he was my friend,
How happy should I be !

Oh, how would I attend!

The smallest sin I then should fear,
If God Almighty were so near.

3. And does he never speak? Oh, yes; for in his word He bids me come and seek

The God whom Samuel heard:

In almost every page I see,
The God of Samuel calls to me.

4. And I, beneath his care,

May safely rest my head;

I know that God is there,
To guard my humble bed:
And every sin I may well fear,
Since God Almighty is so near.

5. Like Samuel, let me say,

Whene'er I read his word, "Speak, Lord: I would obey

The voice that Samuel heard:" And when I in thy house appear, Speak, for thy servant waits to hear.

1. REJOICE. in the Lord,
Believe in his word,
Confide in his mercy and grace;
His throne shall endure,

His promise is sure,

In him shall the righteous have peace.

2. Thrice happy are they
Who his precepts obey,

Who delight in the law of their God;
Their joys shall increase,

And their trials shall cease,
As they enter the heavenly abode.

3. What scenes will arise,

As they pass through the skies,
What raptures their bosoms will fill,
As their harps they employ,
In the fulness of joy,

On the height of some heavenly hill!

4. Rejoice in the Lord,
Believe in his word,

Confide in his mercy and grace;
His throne shall endure,
His promise is sure,

In him shall the righteous have peace.

1. COME, every pious heart,.
That loves the Saviour's name!
Your noblest powers exert

To celebrate his fame;

Tell all above, and all below,
The debt of love to him you owe.

2. He left his starry crown,

And laid his robes aside; On wings of love came down, And wept, and bled, and died: What he endured, no tongue can tell, To save our souls from death and hell.

3. From the dark grave he rose,The mansion of the dead,

And thence his mighty foes

In glorious triumph led;

Up through the sky the conqueror rode, And reigns on high, the Saviour-God.

4. From thence he'll quickly come,-
His chariot will not stay,-
And bear our spirits home

To realms of endless day:
There shall we see his lovely face,
And ever be in his embrace.

1. HARK.-what mean those holy voices, Sweetly sounding through the skies? Lo! the angelic host rejoices;

Heavenly hallelujahs rise.

Hear them tell the wondrous story,
Hear them chant, in hymns of joy,
"Glory in the highest-glory!

Glory be to God most high!"

2. Peace on earth-good will from heaven, Reaching far as man is found. "Souls redeem'd, and sins forgiven," Loud our golden harps shall sound. Christ is born, the great Anointed; Heaven and earth his praises sing! Oh, receive whom God appointed

For your Prophet, Priest and King.

? Haste, ye mortals, to adore him; .
Learn his name, and taste his joy;
Till in heaven ye sing before him,
Glory be to God most high!
Haste, ye mortals, to adore him;
Learn his name, and taste his joy;
Till in heaven ye sing before him,
Glory be to God most high!
