A passing stranger, has He skill
To move the multitude at will?
Again the stirring tones reply,
"Jesus of Nazareth passeth by."

3 Jesus! 'tis He who once below

Man's pathway trod 'mid pain and woe;
And burdened ones, where'er He came,
Brought out their sick, and deaf, and lame.
The blind rejoiced to hear the cry,

"Jesus of Nazareth passeth by."

4 Again He comes! From place to place
His holy footprints we can trace.
He pauseth at our threshold-nay,
He enters-condescends to stay.
Shall we not gladly raise the cry?—
"Jesus of Nazareth passeth by."
5 Ho! all ye heavy-laden, come!
Here's pardon, comfort, rest, and home.
Ye wanderers from a Father's face,
Return, accept His proffered grace.
Ye tempted ones, there's refuge nigh:
'Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.'

6 But if you still His call refuse
And all His wondrous love abuse,
Soon will He sadly from you turn,
Your bitter prayer for pardon spurn.
"Too late! too late!" will be the cry--

"Jesus of Nazareth has passed by.”

The Lord will Provide.

"The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing."-PSALM Xxxiv. 10.

Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 21.

N some way or other the Lord will provide:

IN

It may not be my way, it may not be thy way;
And yet in His own way, "The Lord will provide."

22

2 At some time or other the Lord will provide:
It may not be my time, it
may not be thy time;
And yet in His own time, "The Lord will provide."
3 Despond then no longer, the Lord will provide;
And this be the token-no word He hath spoken
Was ever yet broken: "The Lord will provide."
4 March on then right boldly; the sea shall divide;
The pathway made glorious, with shoutings victorious,
We'll join in the chorus, "The Lord will provide."

When Jesus Comes.

"Unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time, without sin, unto salvation."-HEBREWS ix. 28.

Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 22.

DOWN life's dark vale we wander,
Till Jesus comes.

We watch, and wait, and wonder,
Till Jesus comes.

Oh, let my lamp be burning,

When Jesus comes;

For Him my soul be yearning,

When Jesus comes.

All joy His loved ones bringing, when Jesus comes ;
All praise through heaven ringing, when Jesus comes.
All beauty bright and vernal, when Jesus comes;
All glory grand, eternal, when Jesus comes.

2 No more heart-pangs nor sadness,
All peace, and joy, and gladness;
All doubts and fears will vanish,
All gloom His face will banish.

3

He'll know the way was dreary,
He'll know the feet grew weary,

He'll know what griefs oppressed me,
Oh, how His arm will rest me!

That will be Heaven for Qe.

"We know that when He shall appear we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is."-1 JOHN iii. 2.

I

Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 23.

KNOW not the hour when my Lord will come
To take me away to His own dear home;
But I know that His presence will lighten the gloom,
And that will be glory for me.

And that will be glory for me, oh, that will be glory for me;
But I know that His presence will lighten the gloom,
And that will be glory for me.

2 I know not the song that the angels sing,
I know not the sound of the harps' glad ring;
But I know there'll be mention of Jesus our King,
And that will be music for me.

And that will be music for me, etc.

3 I know not the form of my mansion fair,
I know not the name that I then shall bear ;
But I know that my Saviour will welcome me there,
And that will be heaven for me.

"Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”—REV. xxii. 17. Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 24.

"WHOSOEVER heareth!" shout, shout, the sound!

Send the blessed tidings all the world around! Spread the joyful news wherever man is found, "Whosoever will may come."

"Whosoever will! whosoever will!"

Send the proclamation over vale and hill;
'Tis a loving Father calls the wanderer home;
"Whosoever will may come !"

2 Whosoever cometh need not delay;
Now the door is open, enter while ye may :
Jesus is the true, the only Living Way,
"Whosoever will may come."

"Whosoever will," the promise is secure ;
"Whosoever will," for ever shall endure ;

"Whosoever will, may come."

Safe in the Arms of Jesus.

"Underneath are the everlasting arms."-DEUT. xxxiii. 27. Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 25.

[blocks in formation]

Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on His gentle breast,
There by His love o'ershaded, sweetly my soul shall rest.
2 Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe from corroding care,

Safe from the world's temptations,
Sin cannot harm me there.

Free from the blight of sorrow,

Free from my doubts and fears;
Only a few more trials,

Only a few more tears!

3 Jesus, my heart's dear refuge,
Jesus has died for me;

Firm on the Rock of Ages
Ever my trust shall be.
Here let me wait with patience,
Wait till the night is o'er;
Wait till I see the morning

Break on the golden shore.

There's a Light in the Valley.

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil : for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me."-Psalm xxiii. 4. Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 26.

27

THR

'HROUGH the valley of the shadow I must go,
Where the cold waves of Jordan roll;

But the promise of my Shepherd will, I know,
Be the rod and the staff to my soul.

Even now, down the valley as I glide,

I can hear my Saviour say, "Follow Me!"
And with Him I'm not afraid to cross the tide :
There's a light in the valley for me.

There's a light in the valley,

There's a light in the valley,

There's a light in the valley for me;

And no evil will I fear, while my Shepherd is so near,
There's a light in the valley for me, for me.
2 Now the rolling of the billows I can hear,
As they beat on the rock-bound shore;
But the beacon-light of love so bright and clear
Guides my bark, frail and lone, safely o'er.
I shall find down the valley no alarms,
For my Saviour's blessed smile I can see;
He will bear me in His loving, mighty arms:
There's a light in the valley for me.

The Eden Above.

"In the midst of the Paradise of God."-Rev. ii. 7.
Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 27.

WE shall meet in the Eden above,

In that beautiful land of the blest;
All our trials and pain will be o'er,
When we enter that mansion of rest.

In the Eden above, in the Eden above,
We shall rest evermore in His love;
In that beautiful Eden above.
