Heavenly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whate'er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.

2 All the way my Saviour leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread,
Gives me grace for every trial,

Feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo, a spring of joy I see!

3 All the way my Saviour leads me;
Oh, the fulness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father's house above;
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day,
This my song through endless ages-
Jesus led me all the way!

Holy Spirit, Faithful Guide.

"Lead me in Thy truth, and teach me."-PSALM xxv. 5Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 132.

HOLY Spirit, faithful Guide!

Ever near the Christian's side,

Gently lead us by the hand,
Pilgrims in a desert land;

Weary souls for aye rejoice,

While they hear that sweetest voice,
Whispering softly, "Wanderer, come!

Follow Me, I'll guide thee home."

133

2 Ever present, truest Friend,
Ever near Thine aid to lend,
Leave us not to doubt and fear,
Groping on in darkness drear:
When the storms are raging sore,
Hearts grow faint, and hopes give o'er,
Whisper softly, "Wanderer, come!
Follow Me, I'll guide thee home.”
3 When our days of toil shall cease,
Waiting still for sweet release,
Nothing left but heaven and prayer,
Wondering if our names are there,
Wading deep the dismal flood,
Pleading nought but Jesus' blood;
Whisper softly, "Wanderer, come!
Follow Me, I'll guide thee home!"

Oh to be Nothing!

"A vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the Master's use." 2 TIM. ii. 21.

Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 133.

H to be nothing, nothing!

OH

Only to lie at His feet,

A broken and emptied vessel,

For the Master's use made meet.
Emptied that He might fill me,
As forth to His service I go;
Broken--that so unhindered
His life through me might flow.

2 Oh to be nothing, nothing!
Only as led by His hand;
A messenger at His gateway,
Only waiting for His command:
Only an instrument ready

His praises to sound at His will;
Willing, should He not require me,
In silence to wait on Him still.

134

3 Oh to be nothing, nothing!

Painful the humbling may be,
Yet low in the dust I'd lay me

That the world might my Saviour see.
Rather be nothing, nothing!

To Him let their voices be raised;
He is the Fountain of blessing,

He only is meet to be praised.

No otheq Name.

"Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other Name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved."--AcTs iv. 12.

135

Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 134.

NE offer of salvation,

ONE

To all the world made known;

The only sure foundation

Is Christ, the Corner-Stone.

No other Name is given, no other way is known;

'Tis Jesus Christ, the First and Last; He saves, and He alone

2 One only door of heaven
Stands open wide to-day;

One sacrifice is given;
'Tis Christ, the living way.
3 My only song and story
Is-Jesus died for me;
My only hope for glory,-
The Cross of Calvary.

Yield not to Gemptation.

"To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God."-REV. ii. 7.

Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 135.

IELD not to temptation, for yielding is sin,

YIELD

Each victory will help you some other to win;

Fight manfully onward, dark passions subdue,
Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.

Ask the Saviour to help you, comfort, strengthen, and keep you.
He is willing to aid you, He will carry you through.

2 Shun evil companions, bad language disdain,
God's name hold in reverence, nor take it in vain;
Be thoughtful and earnest, kind-hearted and true,
Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.

3 To him that o'ercometh God giveth a crown,
Through faith we shall conquer, though often cast down;
He who is our Saviour our strength will renew,
Look ever to Jesus, He'll carry you through.

Pardon for You.

"He will abundantly pardon."-ISAIAH lv. 7.
Tune-Sacred Songs and Solos, No. 136.

OH, come to the Saviour, believe in His name,

And ask Him your heart to renew :

He waits to be gracious, oh, turn not away,
For now there is pardon for you.

Yes, there is pardon for you; yes, there is pardon for you;
For Jesus has died to redeem you, and offers full pardon to you.
2 The way of transgression that leads unto death,
Oh, why will you longer pursue?

How can you reject the sweet message of love,
That offers full pardon for you?

3 Be warned of your danger; escape to the cross;
Your only salvation is there :

Believe, and that moment the Spirit of Grace
Will answer your penitent prayer.

Up with thy hands to Jesus.”

"Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry unto Thee, when I lift up my hands toward Thy holy oracle."-PSALM Xxviii. 2.

138

The waves are wildly dashing,
Thy boat is light and frail,
The lightnings sharp are flashing,
And fiercely sweeps the gale.

Then "Up with thy hands to Jesus," O guilty, tempest-tost;
'Up with thy hands to Jesus," or, sinner, thou art lost.

66

2 "Up with thy hands to Jesus,"
He walks upon the sea;
"Up with thy hands to Jesus,"
He stoopeth now for thee.
Say not thy hands are feeble,
Thy fingers cannot cling:
His mighty grasp shall hold thee,
And sure salvation bring.

3 "Up with thy hands to Jesus,"
He hears thy piteous cry ;
Up with thy hands to Jesus,"
No other help is nigh.

E'en now thy bark is sinking,
The billows o'er thee roll,
Up with thy hands to Jesus,"
O sinner, save thy soul.

4 "Up with thy hands to Jesus,"
He ruleth wind and wave;
"Up with thy hands to Jesus,"
His love now yearns to save.
Oh, if thou wilt but trust Him,
His help He'll quickly give:
Haste then, no longer doubting;
"Up with thy hands," and live.
