9:2

3. Falsehood seldom stands alone-
Always speak the truth;
One begets another one-
Always speak the truth.
Falsehood all the soul degrades,
"Tis a sin from which proceed
Greater sins and darker deeds;
Always speak the truth.

4. When you're wrong the folly own;
Always speak the truth:
Here's a victory to be won;
Always speak the truth.

He who speaks with lying tongue Adds to wrong a greater wrong; Then with courage true and strong Always speak the truth.

77. Sing His Praise.

1. WOULD you be as angels are? Sing, Oh sing his praise; Would you banish every care? Sing, Oh sing his praise;

中

Like the lark upon the wing, Like the warbling bird of spring, Like the crystal spheres that ring, Sing, Oh sing his praise. 2. If the world upon you frown, Sing, Oh sing his praise; If you're left to sing alone, Sing, Oh sing his praise; If sad trials come to you, As to every one they do, For that they are blessings too Sing, Oh sing his praise.

2. To-day the Saviour calls:
For refuge fly;

The storm of vengeance falls,
Ruin is nigh.

9:26 28

2. How happy are the saints above,
Who once went sorrowing here;
But now they taste unmingled love,
And joy without a tear.

3. The consecrated cross I'll bear
Till death shall set me free,
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there's a crown for me. ALLEN.

81. Grateful Love to Christ. 1. ALAS, and did my Saviour bleed, And did my Sovereign die? Would he devote that sacred head For such a worm as I?

2. Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity, grace unknown,
And love beyond degree!

3. Well might the sun in darkness hide,

And shut his glories in,

82. Christ our Refuge. 1. THE Saviour! Oh what endless charms

Dwell in the blissful sound! Its influence every fear disarms,

And spreads sweet comfort round. 2. Oh the rich depths of love divine! Of bliss a boundless store! Dear Saviour, let me call thee mine; I cannot wish for more.

3. On thee alone my hope relies, Beneath thy cross I fall

My Saviour and my All.

83. Brotherly Love.

1. How sweet, how heavenly is the sight,

When those who love the Lord
In one another's peace delight,
And thus fulfil his word.

2. When each can feel his brother's sigh,
And with him bear a part;
When sorrow flows from eye to eye,
And joy from heart to heart.

3. When, free from envy, scorn, and pride,

Our wishes all above,
Each can his brother's failings hide,
And show a brother's love.

4. Let love, in one delightful stream,
Through every bosom flow;
And union sweet and dear esteem
In every action glow.

5. Love is the golden chain, that binds The happy souls above;

And he's an heir of heaven, who finds His bosom glow with love.

SWAIN.

The Pasture. 7s. 6 lines.

A. A. G.

3. When the vale of grief they tread, Thou dost mark the tears they shed;

By their side in pity stand,
Dry the tear with tender hand;
Gently quell the rising fear,
Make it sweet to suffer there.

4. Faithful Shepherd, meek and mild,
To thy pastures lead a child;
Weak and helpless, Lord, I am,
Gather in a wand'ring lamb;
Lest from thee I further stray,
Take me to thy fold, I pray.

85. Pilgrim's Song.

1. BLESSED are the sons of God;
They are bought with Jesus' blood,
They are ransomed from the grave;
Life eternal they shall have:
With them numbered may we be,
Here and in eternity.

2. They are justified by grace,
They enjoy the Saviour's peace;
All their sins are washed away;
They shall stand in God's great
day:

With them numbered may we be,
Here and in eternity.

3. I dwell in the midst of pollution and crime,
And all is disorder within;

I'm lured by the glittering baubles of time,
A captive to Satan and sin.

Thus helpless and hopeless, dear Saviour, I cry
For purity, pardon, and peace;
Oh let me no more in captivity lie,
But grant me a happy release.

4. I question no longer thy power to redeem, My soul on thy merit depends;

I see in the cross, with its red flowing stream,
The fountain to save and to cleanse:
Renewed by thy grace, I will walk in the light,
While others to darkness belong;

Oh then 't will be easy to follow the right,
And easy to turn from the wrong.
