56 GOSPEL TRUMPET. 8. 8. 8. 8. 4.

35. The gospel trumpet.

1. HARK, how the gospel trumpet sounds,
Through all the world the echo bounds,
And Jesus, with redeeming blood
Is bringing sinners home to God,
And guides them safely by his word
To endless day.

2. Hail, all victorious conquering Lord,
By all the heavenly hosts adored;
Who undertook for fallen man,

And brought salvation through thy name,
That we with thee might live and reigu
In endless day.

3. Fight on ye conquering saints, fight on,
And when the conquest you have won,
Then palms of victory you shall bear,
And in his kingdom have a share,
And crowns of glory you shall wear,
In endless day.

4. Thy blood, dear Jesus, once was spilt,
To save our souls from sin and guilt;
An sinners now may come to God,
And find salvation through his word,
And sail by faith upon that flood

To endless day.

5. There we shall in sweet chorus join,
And saints and angels all combine,
To sing of his redeeming love,

When rolling years shall cease to move;
And that shall be the theme above,

In endless day.

36. WALKING WITH GOD. 10 FOR a closer walk with God,

A calm and heavenly frame; A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb!

2 Where is the blessedness I knew When first I saw the Lord? Where is the soul refreshing view Of Jesus, and his word?

3 What peaceful hours I then enjoy'd!

How sweet their memory still! But they have left an aching void The world can never fill.

4 Return, O Holy Dove! return, Sweet messenger of rest!

I hate the sins that made thee mourn,

And drove thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be, Help me to tear it from thy throne, And worship only thee.

God,

Calin and serene my frame:

So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb.
