Beneath its glowing arch,
Along the hallowed ground,

I see cherubic armies march,
A camp of fire around.

I hear at morn and even, At noon and midnight hour, The choral harmonies of heaven Earth's Babel tongues o'erpower.

Then, then I feel that he,
(Remembered or forgot,)
The LORD, is never far from me,
Though I perceive him not.

In darkness as in light, Hidden alike from view, I sleep, I wake, as in his sight, Who looks all nature through.

All that I am, have been,
All that I yet may be,
He sees at once, as he hath seen,
And shall for ever see.

How can I meet his eyes?
Mine on the cross I cast

And own my life a Saviour's prize,
Mercy from first to last.

"For ever with the Lord!"
-Father, if 'tis thy will,

The promise of that faithful word,
Even here to me fulfil.

Be thou at my right hand,
Then can I never fail;
Uphold thou me, and I shall stand,
Fight, and I must prevail.

So when my latest breath

Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death, And life eternal gain.

Knowing as I am known,

How shall I love that word, And oft repeat before the throne, "For ever with the Lord!"

Then, though the soul enjoy Communion high and sweet, While worms this body must destroy, Both shall in glory meet.

The trump of final doom

Will speak the selfsame word,

And Heaven's voice thunder through the tomb,

"For ever with the LORD!"

The tomb shall echo deep

That death-awakening sound;

The saints shall hear it in their sleep,
And answer from the ground.

Then, upward as they fly,
That resurrection-word,

Shall be their shout of victory,

"For ever with the LORD !"

That resurrection-word,

That shout of victory,

Once more," For ever with the Lord f*

Amen; so let it be !

INDEX OF FIRST LINES.

A CHARGE to keep I have.......
A debtor to mercy alone

A fountain of life and of grace...
Ah, dearest Lord, I cannot pray......
Alas what hourly dangers rise...
All hail the power of Jesus' name..
All people that on earth do dwell..
All praise to the Lamb, accepted I am.
Am I an Israelite indeed?.

Am I a soldier of the cross?.

And am I only born to die?.
And let this feeble body fail.
And may I hope that when no more.
Appointed by thee, we meet in thy name.
Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat.
Arise, my soul, arise......
Arise, my soul, to Pisgah's height.
As God leads me will I go.....
Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep.
As birds their infant brood protect.
As those that watch for the day...
As when the weary traveller gains.
At anchor laid, remote from home.
