3 Waiting will not save me!
Helpless, guilty, lost, I lie;
In my ear is Mercy's cry;
If I wait I can but die :
Waiting will not save me!

4 Faith in Christ will save me!
Let me trust Thy weeping Son,
Trust the work that He has done,
To His arms, Lord, help me run:
Faith in Christ will save me!

IWE are soldiers in the cause of the noble Temp'rance laws,

And our banners wave to day triumphantly;

Oh, the glorious news we hear

East and west, both far and near,

That our army's marching on to victory.

Shout, shout, shout, as we go marching

'Neath the flag of liberty,

For our banners won't be furl'd till we've conquer'd all the world,

Marching, proudly marching on to victory.

2 We are fighting sin and wrong, and our foe's a million strong,

But our banners float before us bright and free,

In the thickest of the fight

We will battle for the right,

Marching, proudly marching on to victory.

3 One by one our foes have fled, some are dying, some are dead,

And the bright and happy days we now shall see, When the people of all lands

Clasp us gladly by the hands,

Marching, proudly marching on to victory.

4 Won't you join the gallant throng, you can help the cause along,

As we strive together for the mastery;

Come, then, give your heart and hand

To the gallant struggling band,

Marching, proudly marching on to victory.

I DARE to do right! dare to be true!
You have a work that no other can do;
Do it so bravely, so kindly, so well,
Angels will hasten the story to tell.

Dare, dare, dare to do right!
Dare, dare, dare to be true!

Dare to be true! dare to be true!

2 Dare to do right! dare to be true!
Other men's failures can never save you ;
Stand by your conscience, your honour, your faith,
Stand like a hero, and battle till death.

3 Dare to do right! dare to be true!
God who created you cares for

you too,

Treasures the tears that His faithful ones shed,
Counts and protects every hair of your head.

4 Dare to do right! dare to be true!

Keep the great judgment-seat ever in view;
Look at your life as you'll look at it then,
Scann'd by your God before angels and men.

5 Dare to do right! dare to be true!

Jesus, your Saviour, will carry you through;
City and mansion, and crown all in sight,
Can you not dare to be true and do right?

30.

ICOME, sign the pledge and don the blue,
Come, men, and do the right;

And with God's help you'll keep it true,
Come, sign the pledge to-night!

Come on, men! Come on, men!

Come, come, come !

Come, sign the pledge to-night, my friends;

Oh, sign the pledge to-night!

2 Let homes rejoice with hope and love,
Let every heart be light;

For God is smiling from above,
Come, sign the pledge to-night.

3 Fear not to stand and be a man,
Come, battle with your might;
Against the foe we'll lead the van,
Come, sign the pledge to-night!

4 Then victory shall crown each brow
With glory new and bright;
These honours rich are offered now,
Come, sign the pledge to-night!

31.

I COME to me, Lord, when first I wake,-
As the faint lights of morning break;
Bid purest thoughts within me rise,
Like crystal dew-drops to the skies.

2 Come to me in the sultry noon,

Or earth's low communings will soon
Of Thy dear face eclipse the light,
And change my fairest day to night.

3 Come to me in the evening shade,-
And if my heart from thee hath stray'd,
Oh! bring it back, and from afar

Smile on me like Thine evening star.

4 Come to me in the midnight hour,-
When sleep withholds its balmy power;
Let my lone spirit find her rest,

Like John, upon my Saviour's breast.

5 Come to me through life's varied way,-
And when its pulses cease to play,
Then, Saviour ! bid me come to Thee,
That where Thou art, Thy child may be.

32.

I HAVE a Saviour, He's pleading in glory,

A dear, loving Saviour, though earth friends be few, And now He is watching in tenderness o'er me,

And oh, that my Saviour were your Saviour too!
For you I am praying,
I'm praying for you.

2 I have a Father: to me He has given

A hope for eternity, blessed and true;

And soon will He call me to meet Him in heaven,
But oh, may He lead you to go with me too!
3 I have a robe: 'tis resplendent in whiteness,
Awaiting in glory my wondering view;
Oh, when I receive it all shining in brightness,
Dear friend, could I see you receiving one too!

4 I have a peace: it is calm as a river—

A peace that the friends of this world never knew; My Saviour alone is its Author and Giver,

And oh, could I know it was given to you!

5 When Jesus has found you, tell others the story,
That my loving Saviour is your Saviour too;
Then pray that your Saviour may bring them to glory,
And prayer will be answered--'twas answered for you!

33.

I WE'RE marching to Canaan with banner and song,
We're soldiers enlisted to fight 'gainst the wrong;
But lest in the conflict our strength should divide,
We ask, Who among us is on the Lord's side?
Oh, who is there among us,
The true and the tried,
Who'll stand by his colours?
Who's on the Lord's side?

2 The sword may be burnish'd, the armour be bright,
For Satan appears as an angel of light;
Yet darkly the bosom may treachery hide,

While lips are professing, "I'm on the Lord's side.”

3 Who is there among us yet under the rod ?

Who knows not the pardoning mercy of God? Oh, bring to Him humbly the heart in its pride! Oh, haste while He's waiting, and seek the Lord's side. 4 Oh, heed not the sorrow, the pain, or the wrong, For soon shall our sighing be changed into song! So, bearing the cross of our covenant Guide,

We'll shout as we triumph, "I'm on the Lord's side!'

34.

I THERE is no love like the love of Jesus,
Never to fade or fall,

Till into the fold of the peace of God
He has gather'd us all!

2 There is no heart like the heart of Jesus,
Fill'd with a tender lore;

Not a throb nor throe our hearts can know
But He suffer'd before!

3 There is no eye like the eye of Jesus,
Piercing far away:

Never out of the sight of its tender light
Can the wanderer stray!

4 There is no voice like the voice of Jesus,
Ah! how sweet its chime,

Like the musical ring of some rushing spring
In the summer time!

5 O might we listen that voice of Jesus, O might we never roam,

Till our souls should rest in peace on His breast, In the heavenly home!

35.

I ONE there is, above all others

Well deserves the name of Friend ;

His is love beyond a brother's,

Costly, free, and knows no end; They who once His kindness prove Find it everlasting love.

2 Which of all our friends, to save us,

Could or would have shed their blood?

But our Jesus died to have us
Reconciled in Him to God.
This was boundless love indeed;
Jesus is a friend in need.
