HYMN 267. S. M.

ARISE, my soul, arise,

And with a cheerful voice,
In God, the source of all thy joys,
Thy Saviour God, rejoice.

2

His robes were stain'd in blood, When he subdu'd his foes; And 'twas for us the mighty God To conquer hell arose.

3

By his almighty pow'r, Against our foes he fought; And in the great and awful hour, Our full salvation wrought.

IN

HYMN 268. P. M.

yon bless'd world above, Where angel-hosts reside, The Sun of truth and love

Is never known to hide; Its sacred heat for ever glows, Divinely sweet to all it flows.

2

Its all-attracting light

For ever flows the same;
No darkness there or night,

No clouds obscure the flame :

One endless day will constant shine
And ev'ry ray is light divine.

8

O, could we see this light,
And feel its heav'nly heat,
Joyful we'd take our flight
To some celestial seat ;

U

1

With angels sit and sing away
At Jesus' feet, an endless day.

4

But stay, my soul, forbear-
The kingdom is thine own;
But let me first prepare,

Then covet to be gone :

Stay yet below till fully pure,

Then shall I know my heav'n is sure.

HYMN 269. C. M.

COME, from the stately mansions rove,

The heav'nly landscape see;
Behold the wide extended grove,
With fruit on ev'ry tree!

2

O glorious foliage,' lively green,
In shades of various dye !
Above, below, around, are seen
A paradise of joy.

3

Here walks of wond'rous length extend,
And deep the rural gloom;

The golden fruits in clusters bend,
With flowers of rich perfume.

4

From walk to walk the angels roye,

Or on the banks recline;

In songs of praise, and notes of love,
With nameless rapture join.

5

Sweet bow'rs are form'd, and velvet seats,

By young entwining shoots;

And all the happy, bless'd retreats

Abound with pleasant fruits.

6

;

Here beds of flow'rs celestial, spread, The fragrance cheers the mind And arched bow'rs above the head, In wond'rous beauty join'd.

HYMN 270. S. M.

DARKNESS pervades the mind,
And clouds prevent the light,
That few Jehovah Jesus know,
Or worship him aright.

2

But, Lord, we come to thee,
And bow before thy throne;

In thy Divine Humanity
Thou art our God alone.

3

Thine essence none can see,
That is beyond our sight;
But thy Divine Humanity
Is seen in heav'nly light.

4

Thou art the only God,
The only Man art thou ;
And only thee our souls adore,
At thy bless'd feet we bow.

5

In essence thou art one,
And one in person too;

Though in thine essence, seen by none,
Thy person we may view.

6

The human made Divine,

Our souls with joy adore;

And soon with angels we shall join,

To praise and love thee more.

HYMN 271. L. M.

DEATH, thou art welcome to my arms,
Attended with a thousand charms;
From prison then I shall be freed,
By pow'r divine, and live indeed.

2

Then let this feeble flesh decay,
Joyful the summons I'll obey;
My heav'nly body longs to flee
From prison to full liberty.

3

This flesh and blood I want no more,
I land upon a purer shore ;

Its work is done, and I resign
That dust, which is no longer mine.

4

Then will my spirit glorious rise,
Matur'd by goodness for the skies!
A form of heav'nly light and love,
And well prepar'd to live above !

HYMN 272. L. M.

To thee, Jehovah, Lord, alone,
Who reignest on th' eternal throne ;
We send our praises, Lord, to thee,
In thy Divine Humanity.

2

While others boast more gods than one, Some two, some three, and others none :

Jesus, we worship none but thee,

In thy Divine Humanity.

3

What other God should we adore ?

Thou art our Lord, we want no more ;

Thou hast reveal'd thy Deity,
In thy Divine Humanity.

4

In human form thou art confess'd, With all divine perfections bless'd; And soon we shall our Saviour see In his Divine Humanity.

5

Be all thy name by us ador'd,
Jehovah, Jesus, God, or Lord;
For all thy boundless Deity
Centers in thy Humanity.

6

We worship thee, and thee alone,
As Father, Holy Ghost, and Son;
The one Jehovah God we see
In thy Divine Humanity.

HYMN 273. S. M.

WHEN I survey this world,
With all its beauteous frame,
Its great Creator I adore,
And celebrate his name.

2

The boundless whole displays
The wonders of the Lord:
All nature echoes with his praise,
And be his name ador'd.

[merged small][merged small][ocr errors]

Its ardent rays exhibit him,

Who rules the worlds in love.

The lofty stars by night,"
The moon with paler glow,
