2 No darkness have we who in Jesus abide,
The Light of the world is Jesus.

We walk in the Light when we follow our Guide,
The Light of the world is Jesus.

3 Ye dwellers in darkness, with sin-blinded eyes,
The Light of the world is Jesus.

Go, wash at His bidding, and light will arise,
The Light of the world is Jesus.

4 No need of the sunlight in heaven, we're told,
The Light of that world is Jesus.

124

The Lamb is the light in the City of Gold,
The Light of that world is Jesus.

The Holy Spirit.

Three Warnings: Resist not; Grieve not; Quench not.
Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 124.

THE Spirit, O sinner, in mercy doth move

Thy heart so long hardened, of sin to reprove: Resist not the Spirit, nor longer delay;

God's gracious entreaties may end with to-day.

2 O child of the kingdom, from sin's service cease:
Be filled with the Spirit, with comfort and peace.
Oh, grieve not the Spirit,-thy Teacher is He,
That Jesus, thy Saviour, may glorified be.

3 Defiled is the temple, its beauty laid low,
On God's holy altar the embers faint glow.
By love yet re-kindled, a flame may be fanned;
Oh, quench not the Spirit, The Lord is at hand!

125

Oh, How He Loves !

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."-JOHN XV. 13.

Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 125.

ONE there is above all others,

Oh, how He loves!

His is love beyond a brother's,

Oh, how He loves!

126

Earthly friends may fail or leave us,
One day soothe, the next day grieve us ;
But this Friend will ne'er deceive us,
Oh, how He loves!

2 'Tis eternal life to know Him,

Oh, how He loves!

Think, oh think, how much we owe Him,
Oh, how He loves!

With His precious blood He bought us,
In the wilderness He sought us,
To His fold He safely brought us,
Oh, how He loves!

3 Blessed Jesus! would you know Him?
Oh, how He loves!

Give yourselves entirely to Him,
Oh, how He loves!

Think no longer of the morrow,
From the past new courage borrow,
Jesus carries all your sorrow,
Oh, how He loves!

4 All your sins shall be forgiven,
Oh, how He loves!

Backward shall your foes be driven,
Oh, how He loves!

Best of blessings He'll provide you,
Nought but good shall e'er betide you,
Safe to glory He will guide you,

Oh, how He loves!

The New Song.

"They sang as it were a new song before the throne."-REV. xiv. 3. Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 126.

WITH harps and with viols there stand a great throng

WITH

In the presence of Jesus, and sing this new song:

Unto Him who hath loved us and washed us from sin,

Unto Him be the glory for ever. Amen.

2 All these once were sinners, defiled in His sight, Now arrayed in pure garments in praise they unite : 3 He maketh the rebel a priest and a king,

He hath bought us, and taught us this new song to sing:

4 How helpless and hopeless we sinners had been,
If He never had loved us till cleansed from our sin.

5 Aloud in His praises our voices shall ring,
So that others, believing, this new song shall sing:

Near the Cross.

"Made nigh by the blood of Christ."—EPHESIANS ii. 13.
Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 127.

ESUS, keep me near the cross: there a precious fountain,
Free to all-a healing stream-flows from Calvary's

mountain.

In the Cross, in the Cross, be my glory ever;

Till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river.

2 Near the Cross, a trembling soul, love and mercy found me; There the Bright and Morning Star shed its beams around me. 3 Near the Cross! O Lamb of God, bring its scenes before me; Help me walk from day to day, with its shadow o'er me. 4 Near the Cross I'll watch and wait, hoping, trusting ever, Till I reach the golden strand, just beyond the river.

I will Guide Thee.”

"I will guide thee with Mine eye.”—PSALM xxxii. 8.
Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 128.

PRECIOUS promise God hath given
To the weary passer-by,

On the way from earth to heaven,
"I will guide thee with Mine eye."
"I will guide thee, I will guide thee,
I will guide thee with Mine eye;
On the way from earth to heaven,
I will guide thee with Mine eye."

129

2 When temptations almost win thee,
And thy trusted watchers fly,
Let this promise ring within thee:
"I will guide thee with Mine eye."

3

When thy secret hopes have perished
In the grave of years gone by,
Let this promise still be cherished:

"I will guide thee with Mine eye."

4 When the shades of life are falling,
And the hour has come to die,
Hear thy trusty Leader calling,

[ocr errors]

"I will guide thee with Mine eye."

Every Day and Hour.

Keep me as the apple of the eye."-PSALM xvii. 8. "Lead me in the way everlasting."-PSALM cxxxix. 24.

Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 129.

SAVIOUR, more than life to me,

I am clinging, clinging, close to Thee:

Let Thy precious blood applied,

Keep me ever, ever, near Thy side.

Every day, every hour, let me feel Thy cleansing power;

May Thy tender love to me bind me closer, closer, Lord, to Thee.

2 Through this changing world below
Lead me gently, gently, as I go;
Trusting Thee I cannot stray,
I can never, never, lose my way.

3 Let me love Thee more and more,
Till this fleeting, fleeting, life is o'er;
Till my soul is lost in love,

In a brighter, brighter, world above.

Come, ye Sinners.

"He that hath no money, come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price."-ISAIAH lv. I. Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 130.

131

COME, ye sinners, poor and needy,

Weak and wounded, sick and sore;

Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, love, and power :
He is able,

He is willing doubt no more.
2 Now, ye needy, come and welcome,
God's free bounty glorify;

True belief and true repentance

Every grace that brings you nigh-
Without money,

Come to Jesus Christ and buy.
3 Let not conscience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness He requireth
Is to feel your need of Him.
This He gives you:

'Tis the Spirit's rising beam.
4 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden,
Bruised and ruined by the Fall;
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all.
Not the righteous-
Sinners, Jesus came to call..

All the Way.

"Thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee."

DEUT. viii. 2.

Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 131.

ALL the way my Saviour leads me;

What have I to ask beside?

Can I doubt His tender mercy,

Who through life has been my Guide?
