3 "No condemnation!" precious word! Consider it, my soul:

4

Thy sins were all on Jesus laid ;
His stripes have made thee whole.

Teach us,

O God, to fix our eyes
On Christ, the spotless Lamb:
So shall we love Thy gracious will,
And glorify Thy name.

The Voice of Jesus.

"Ye shall find rest unto your souls."-MATT. xi. 29.
Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 75.

I

HEARD the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto Me and rest;

Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon My breast."
I came to Jesus as I was-

Weary, and worn, and sad;
I found in Him a resting-place,
And He has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
The living water-thirsty one,
Stoop down, and drink, and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank

Of that life-giving stream;

My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in Him.

3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,

"I am this dark world's Light;
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise,
And all thy day be bright."

I looked to Jesus, and I found
In Him, my Star, my Sun;
And in that Light of life I'll walk
Till travelling days are done.

The Lord is my Shepherd.

"I am the good Shepherd, and know My sheep."-John x. 14.

23rd Psalm.

Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 75.

THE

HE Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want:
He makes me down to lie

In pastures green; He leadeth me
The quiet waters by.

2 My soul He doth restore again;
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
Even for His own name's sake.

3 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
Yet I will fear none ill;

For Thou art with me: and Thy rod
And staff me comfort still.

4 My table Thou hast furnished
In presence of my foes;

My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.

5 Goodness and mercy

all my

Shall surely follow me;

life

And in God's house for evermore
My dwelling-place shall be.

Deliverance.

"Thou hast delivered my soul from death."-PSALM lvi. 13.

2

2 He took me from a fearful pit,
And from the miry clay,
And on a rock He set my feet,
Establishing my way.

3 He put a new song in my mouth,
Our God to magnify:
Many shall see it, and shall fear,
And on the Lord rely.

4 Oh, blessed is the man whose trust
Upon the Lord relies;
Respecting not the proud, nor such
As turn aside to lies.

Christian Union.

"Let brotherly love continue."—HEB. xiii. I.
Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 80.

BLEST be the tie that binds

Our hearts in Christian love :
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.

Before our Father's throne

We pour our ardent prayers;

Our fears, our hopes, our aims, are one—

Our comforts and our cares.

'Twas grace that wrote my name
In life's eternal book;

'Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb,
Who all my sorrows took.

Grace taught my wandering feet
To tread the heavenly road,
And new supplies each hour I meet
While pressing on to God.

Grace taught my soul to pray,
And made my eyes o'erflow;
'Tis grace has kept me to this day,
And will not let me go.

Oh, let that grace inspire
My soul with strength divine!
May all my powers to Thee aspire,
And all my days be Thine.

Just as I am.

"The Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."-JOHN i. 29.

Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 82.

UST as I am, without one plea,

JUST

But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidd'st me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

83

2 Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need, in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

3 Just as I am-Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve!
Because Thy promise I believe,-
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

4 Just as I am-Thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

Praise Him.

"Whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me.”—PSALM 1. 23.

100th Psalm.

Tune-Sacred Songs and Solcs, No. 83.

ALL people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;

Him serve with mirth, His praise forth tell,
Come ye before Him and rejoice.

2 Know that the Lord is God indeed;

Without our aid He did us make:
We are His flock, He doth us feed,

And for His sheep He doth us take.
3 Oh, enter then His gates with praise,
Apprcach with joy His courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless His name always,
For it is seemly so to do.

4 For why? the Lord our God is good,
His mercy is for ever sure;

His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.
