2 No darkness have we who in Jesus abide, We walk in the Light when we follow our Guide, 3 Ye dwellers in darkness, with sin-blinded eyes, Go, wash at His bidding, and light will arise, 4 No need of the sunlight in heaven, we're told, 124 The Lamb is the light in the City of Gold, The Holy Spirit. Three Warnings: Resist not; Grieve not; Quench not. 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: 125 3 Defiled is the temple, its beauty laid low, ; By love yet re-kindled, a flame may be fanned 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 66 Earthly friends may fail or leave us, 2 'Tis eternal life to know Him, Think, oh think, how much we owe Him, With His precious blood He bought us, 3 Blessed Jesus! would you know Him? Give yourselves entirely to Him, Think no longer of the morrow, 4 All your sins shall be forgiven, Backward shall your foes be driven, Best of blessings He'll provide you, Oh, how He loves! The New Song. They sang as it were a new song before the throne."-Rev. xiv. 3. WITH harps and with viols there stand a great throng In the presence of Jesus, and sing this new song: Unto Him who hath loved us and washed us from sin, 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, 5 Aloud in His praises our voices shall ring, So that others, believing, this new song shall sing: 127 Near the Cross. "Made nigh by the blood of Christ."—EPHESIANS ii. 13. JESUS, keep me near the cross: there a precious fountain, 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. 128 I will Guide Thee.” "I will guide thee with Mine eye."-PSALM xxxii. 8. PRECIOUS promise God hath given "I will guide thee, I will guide thee, 129 2 When temptations almost win thee, 3 When thy secret hopes have perished "I will guide thee with Mine eye." 4 When the shades of life are falling, Every Day and Hour. "Keep me as the apple of the eye."-PSALM xvii. 8. 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; 130 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. 131 Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 130. COM OME, ye sinners, poor and needy, Jesus ready stands to save you, He is willing: doubt no more. Come to Jesus Christ and buy. 'Tis the Spirit's rising beam. Not the righteous— 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? |
