LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

Many giants great and tall,
Stalking through the land,
Headlong to the earth would fall,
If met by Daniel's Band.

Hold the Gospel banner high,

On to victory grand!

Satan and his host defy,

And shout for Daniel's Band.

ASK, SEEK, KNOCK.

"Ask, and it shall be given; Seek, and ye shall find." Precious promise! Lord, I wonder Thou art still so kind! 'Knock, it shall be opened," if we only could believe. Ask, seek, knock-Savior, help us to receive. CHORUS.-Ask, seek, knock, hear the loving Savior say: Ask, seek, knock-Savior, help me to obey.

Jesus, I ask Thee now, for Thine is all the power,
Give me grace to look to Thee in dark temptation's hour.
Help me to remember 'tis Thy gentle voice I hear.
Ask, seek, knock-Savior, wherefore should I fear?

Lord, I am waiting now Thy blessed face to see;
Earnestly I'm knocking, knocking; open, Lord, to me.
To Thy cross I'll cling till Thou a blessing dost bestow.
Ask, seek, knock-Lord, I will not let Thee go.

LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

This is My commandment,

That ye love one another,
That ye love one another,
As I have loved you.

Blessed words of Jesus

We have heard to-day-
Savior, by Thy spirit,

Help us to obey.

May Thy love unite us

To the living Vine!

May our hearts, enlightened,

Glow with love divine!

151

May we seek Thy glory,
Strife and envy flee;
By our love to others,

Prove our love to Thee.
Ever more as brethren,
In sweet union live.
As we wish forgiveness,
May we each forgive.

Grant us Thy salvation,
Fill us with Thy love;
Give us each a foretaste
Of the joys above.
Ever meek and lowly,
Ever kind and true,

Ever pure and holy,
Paths of peace pursue.

This is My commandment,
That ye love one another,
That ye love one another,
As I have loved you.

FEAR NOT.

What did the angel to the shepherds say?

Fear not, fear not,

On that bright morning of our Lord's birth-day?

CHORUS.-Fear not, fear not,

Fear not, fear not, let the Gospel sound,

Fear not, fear not,

Roll the world around;

Trembling souls, dismiss your fear,

To the mercy seat draw near,

To the mercy seat draw near.

What said the Master when the waves ran high?

Fear not, fear not,

To His disciples said He, "It is I."

What to the ruler did the Savior say?

Fear not, fear not,

When cold and lifeless His dear daughter lay?

MOURN, PRAY, PRAISE.

What to the Marys was the cheering word?
Fear not, fear not,

When they with joy beheld the risen Lord?

What saith the Son of Man, the First and Last?
Fear not, fear not,

He whose eternal word abideth fast?

GOING HOME.

Though the way seems lone,
And the sunlight gone;
Though the blinding tears will fall,
Let us look away,

And be glad to-day,

At the thought of going home.

CHORUS.-Going home,

Going home,

To our Father's house on high, going home
Where there's no more night,

And the Lamb is the light,

We are going by and by.

Though the world is drear,
And the tempter near,
And his arrows pierce the soul;
Yonder beams the strand

Of the Promised Land,
'Tis the long-sought final goal.

Though in hostile lands,
Over burning sands

Now with weary feet we roam,

But a few years more,

And 'twill all be o'er,

He will come to take us home.

MOURN, PRAY, PRAISE.

Mourn, yes mourn,

But not for her at rest,

And happy with the blest;

GOOD CHEER.

A psalm floats on the evening air,
Evening air, evening air,
And Jesus' gentle voice is there-
Oh, may we His worship share!
MARK XIV, 22, 23, 24, 26.

There'll be a song of glad accord,

Glad accord, glad accord,

Through heaven's eternal anthems heard,

"Alleluia, praise the Lord!"

REVELATION xix, 6.

155

GOOD CHEER!

Good cheer, good cheer!
For a happy New Year
Is brightly smiling before us;
Let merry bells ring,

Let happy hearts sing,

Good cheer, good cheer is the chorus.

Adown the past,

One look we cast,

For friends and fancies olden;

Then forward glance,

And dream perchance,

Of future days more golden.

CHORUS.-Good cheer, good cheer!
For a happy New Year

Is brightly smiling before us,
Let merry bells ring,

Let happy hearts sing,

Good cheer, good cheer is the chorus.
Good cheer, good cheer!

For the glad and happy New Year!
Good cheer, good cheer!

For the glad and happy New Year!

Good cheer, good cheer!

For a happy New Year

Is brightly smiling before us,

Let merry bells ring,

Let happy hearts sing,

Good cheer, good cheer is the chorus.
