Yet doth Thy care, O Father, 2 Over the pathless wild Do I not see Him come? Him who shall lead me home? 3 Over me He is bending! Found at the last, and clinging Sound on the homeward track, 13. I WHEN peace, like a river, attendeth my way, Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to know, It is well with my soul, It is well with my soul. 2 Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, 3 My sin-oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!- Is nail'd to His cross; and I bear it no more : No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life 5 But, Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming, we wait- Oh, trump of the Angel! oh, voice of the Lord! 14. I IN evil long I took delight, Till a new object struck my sight, 2 Sure never till my latest breath It seem'd to charge me with His death, 3 Alas! I knew not what I did! A second look He gave, which said, This Blood is for thy ransom paid; 15. OH, safe to the Rock that is higher than I, My soul in its conflicts and sorrows would fly; So sinful, so weary, Thine, Thine would I be ; Thou blest "Rock of Ages," I'm hiding in Thee. Hiding in Thee, hiding in Thee, Thou blest"Rock of Ages," I'm hiding in Thee. 2 In the calm of the noontide, in sorrow's lone hour; In times when temptation casts o'er me its power; In the tempests of life, on its wide, heaving seaThou blest "Rock of Ages," I'm hiding in Thee. 3 How oft in the conflict, when press'd by the foe, 16. I COURAGE, brother, do not stumble, 3 Simple rule, and safest guiding, Inward peace, and inward might, "Trust in God, and do the right." 4 Some will hate thee, some will love thee, 17. IO HAPPY day that fix'd my choice 2 'Tis done, the great transaction's done! 3 Now rest my long-divided heart, 4 High Heav'n, that heard the solemn vow, Till in life's latest hour I bow, And bless in death a bond so dear. 18. IARE you coming Home, ye wand'rers All footsore, lame, and weary, Are Are you coming Home to-night? 2 Are you coming Home, ye lost ones? Behold, your Lord doth wait! Come then! no longer linger, Come ere it be too late! Will you come and let Him save you? Oh, trust His love and might! Will you come while He is calling? Are you coming Home to-night? 3 Are you coming Home, ye guilty Who bear the load of sin? Outside you've long been standing, Come now and venture in ! Will you heed the Saviour's promise, And dare to trust Him quite? "Come unto Me !" saith Jesus; Are you coming Home to-night? 19. I HARK, my soul, it is the Lord, 'Tis thy Saviour, hear His word; 2 Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee; 66 'I deliver'd thee when bound, And when bleeding, heal'd thy wound; Sought thee wand'ring, set thee right, Turn'd thy darkness into light.

Of course you know that to and fro, throughout our glorious land, The temp'rance army rolls along like waves upon the strand, Its mighty ranks still swelling with recruits so brave and true, Whose emblem of enlistment is the famous badge of blue! 'Tis the signal to mankind they are soldiers of the free To King Alcohol, the tyrant, no more they'll bend the knee. Hail, my comrades, with the signal, the emblem of the true! The nation is awaking to the wearing of the blue! 2 Across the land, from sea to sea, they're falling into line, Forsaking all the gilded haunts of sin and shame and wine ; Awaking to a better life, to proudly dare and do- |
