169 L 2 Now just a word for Jesus; Look away to Jesus. Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 169. OOK away to Jesus, Soul by woe oppressed; 'Twas for thee He suffered, Come to Him and rest. All thy griefs He carried, All thy sins He bore. 2 Look away to Jesus, Soldier in the fight; When the battle thickens Keep thine armour bright : 3 Look away to Jesus, When the skies are fair: 4 Look away to Jesus, 'Mid the toil and heat; 5 When, amid the music Of the endless feast, Saints shall sing His praises, Thine shall not be least; Look away to Jesus, Through eternity. 170 171 J Bring my Sins to Ghee. "In returning and rest shall ye be saved."-ISA. xxx. 15. I The sins I cannot count, That all may cleansèd be, In Thy once opened Fount: 3 My joys to Thee I bring, The joys Thy love hath given, To lift me nearer heaven: I bring them, Saviour, all to Thee, 4 My life I bring to Thee, I would not be mine own; O Saviour, let me be Thine ever, Thine alone. My heart, my life, my all, I bring To Thee, my Saviour and my King! Hold Hast till I Come. "That which ye have, hold fast till I come."--REV. ii. 25. SPIRIT, o'erwhelmed by thy failures and fears, Look up to thy Lord, though with trembling and tears: Weak Faith, to thy call seem the heavens only dumb? To thee is the message, "Hold fast till I come." "Hold fast till I come,' "Hold fast till I come," A bright crown awaits thee; "Hold fast till I come." 2 Hold fast when the world would allure thee to sin; 172 " To make up His jewels and bear them above: Close to Thee. 'As ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him.”—COL. ii. 6. Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 172. 173 THOU my everlasting Portion, More than friend or life to me, All along my pilgrim journey, Saviour, let me walk with Thee. Close to Thee, close to Thee, Close to Thee, close to Thee; 2 Not for ease or worldly pleasure, Nor for fame my prayer shall be ; Gladly will I toil and suffer, Only let me walk with Thee. Close to Thee, close to Thee, Close to Thee, close to Thee; 3 Lead me thro' the vale of shadows, Bear me o'er life's fitful sea; Then the gate of life eternal May I enter, Lord, with Thee. Close to Thee, close to Thee, Close to Thee, close to Thee, Hallelujah, he is Risen! He "He is not here, for He is risen, as He said.”—Matt. xxviii. 6. ALLELUJAH! He is risen! HA Jesus is gone up on high ! Burst the bars of death asunder; Angels, shout; and men, reply He is risen, He is risen, Living now no more to die. 174 2 Hallelujah! He is risen! That our Advocate is He: He is risen, He is risen, Justified in Him are we. Death for aye hath lost its sting, Christ, Himself the Resurrection, From the grave His own will bring : He is risen, He is risen, Living Lord and coming King. A Crown of Rejoicing. "Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."-MATT. XXV. 21. CROWN of rejoicing that's waiting for me, When finished my course, and when Jesus I see, And when from my Lord comes the sweet-sounding word: crown of rejoicing! O wonderful song! O joy everlasting! O glorified throng! O beautiful home!-my home can it be? O glory reserved for me 2 O wonderful song that in glory I'll sing, To Him who redeemed me, to Jesus my King; 3 O joy everlasting when heaven is won, No sorrow nor sighing-these all flee away: 4 O wonderful name which the glorified bear, 175 66 22 The new name which Jesus bestows on us there; As thy Days, thy Strength. "As thy days, so shall thy strength be."-DEUT. xxxiii. 25. WHILE foes are strong and danger near, A voice falls gently on the ear; My Saviour speaks, He says to me, That 66 as my days my strength shall be." His word a Tower to which I flee, For as my days my strength shall be," 176 2 With such a promise need I fear То Yes, Lord, I then will trust in Thee Go the Work! "Go work to-day in my vineyard.”—MATT. xxi. 28.
