2 Prince of Peace, be ever near us, Give our raptured souls to prove C. M. Thy gracious power make known; Touch, by the virtue of thy word, 2 Speak with a voice that wakes the dead, And bid the sleeper rise; And let his guilty conscience dread 3 Let us receive the word we hear, Lay up the precious treasure there, 4 Now let our darkness comprehend 168 Place of Worship delightful. C. M. 10 GOD of hosts! the mighty Lord! How lovely is the place Where we, with holy joy, behold 2 Thrice happy they, whose choice has thee Their sure protection made; Who long to tread the sacred ways 3 For God, who is our sun and shield, 4 O Lord of hosts, my King, my God, 169 1 COME, One Family in Christ. C. M let us join our friends above Let all the saints terrestrial sing 2 One family, we dwell in him, To his command we bow: 3 How many to their endless home His militant, embodied host, With wishful looks we stand, And long to see that happy coast, 170 To Worship acceptably 10 FOR a heart to feel P.M. The presence where we stand! That God is nigh at hand, And while we meet to seek him thus, 2 The sigh of one distrest By sorrow for his sins, Who humbly smites his breast, And to serve God begins: This is the voice that God attends, And such he chooses for his friends. 3 He knows-he knows of me, If I am friend or foe; Wherever I may be. He follows as 1 go: Sees every word, and thought, and look, 4 Well may I think with dread And now in earnest pray: In this accepted time I cry, 171 Suffer us to come. L ORD, before thy throne we stand, Smile upon this youthful band, 2 Whither else should children go, Thou hast all things to bestow, 7's 3 While we here have life and breath, This our constant prayer should be, This our latest sigh in death, 1 Suffer us to come to thee. 172 We are but young. L. M. WE 2 We are but young-yet we have heard The gospel news, the heavenly word: If we despise the only way, Dreadful will be the judgment day. 3 We are but young-yet we must die, Lord, may we early seek thy grace, 4 We are but young-we need a guide; 5 We are but young-yet God has shed 100 INVITING. 1 173 IF Early seek God. you will turn away from sin C. M. The Lord will make you pure within, 2 He'll show you all his matchless love, And give you grace, that you may prove 3 He'll lead you in the pleasant way And guide you thus to endless day, 4 0 stay not in the road to death, 1 And, when you lose life's flecting breath, He'll send and take you home. 174 The last Call to Sinners.
