"A man shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest."

1. JESU, Lover of my soul,

Let me to Thy Bosom fly,
While the gathering waters roll,
While the tempest still is high:
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,

Till the storm of life be past;

Safe into the haven guide,

O receive my soul at last.

2. Other refuge have I none;

Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;

Leave, ah! leave me not alone,

Still support and comfort me.

All my trust on Thee is stayed,

All my help from Thee I bring;
Cover my defenceless head

With the shadow of Thy wing.

3. Plenteous grace with Thee is found,
Grace to cleanse from every sin;

Let the healing streams abound;
Make and keep me pure within;

Thou of Life the Fountain art;

Freely let me take of Thee;

Spring Thou up within my heart,

Rise to all eternity.

C. WESLEY.

"Whom have I in heaven but Thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire in comparison of Thee."

F. H. 1. JESU, my Lord, my God, my All,

Hear me, Blest Saviour, when I call ;
Hear me, and from Thy dwelling-place
Pour down the riches of Thy grace:

Jesu, my Lord, I Thee adore,

Oh, make me love Thee more and more.

1ST PART. 1.

MA

ANY years have told their story,
And have come and passed away,

Like the solemn, restless flowing
Of a river on its way,

Since the people first assembled,
Our Foundation Stone to lay.

2. Morn by morn the Lord's Own Service,
As a great Communion Hymn,
Mingled with the voice of Angels,
Cherubim and Seraphim;
And the Even-song was chanted
As the Temple Lamp grew dim.

3. Some whom once we knew and talked with,

Lives of love and kindly goodNow their bodies sleep all calmly 'Neath the guardian-angel sod; And their souls are sweetly resting

In the paradise of GOD.

4. Festive joy can never make us To forget those graves so dear; We will kneel and plant fresh flowers,

Water them with loving tear; And a strange and sweet communion

Whispers that our dead are

near.

7. On the great and unknown future
May Thy loving blessing rest.
As upon the children, Jesu,

Lay Thy Hand, the gentlest, best;
Heavenly Father, lead us, guide us,
Tenderest Shepherd, Saviour blest.

E. HUSBAND.

"May Thine eyes be open toward this house night and day."

2. All that dedicated city,

Dearly loved of God on high, In exultant jubilation

Pours perpetual melody; God the One in Three adoring In glad hymns eternally.

[blocks in formation]

5. Praise and honour to the Father,
Praise and honour to the Son,
Praise and honour to the Spirit,
Ever Three and ever One,
One in might and One in glory,
While eternal ages run.
