2 His conscience knows no secret stings, 3 He waits in secret on his God, Let earth be all in arms abroad, Where neither eyes nor ears have been, 5 He wants no pomp nor royal throne, Content and pleas'd to live alone, HYMN 274. C. M. Edinburgh. Canterbury. Watts. The hope of heaven our support. 1 WHEN I can read my title clear To mansions in the skies, I bid farewell to every fear, And wipe my weeping eyes. 2 Should earth against my soul engage, Then I can smile at Satan's rage, 3 Let cares, like a wild deluge come, May 1 but safely reach my home, And not a wave of trouble roll HYMN 275. Clifford. York. Braintree. The fear of God.

The Pilgrim's Guide. Robinson. Tamworth. Littleton. Heimsley. Ps. xlviii. 14. 1 GUIDE me, O thou great Jehovah, Feed me till I want no more.

L. M. Gibbons. Hinton. Blendon. Shoel. Rising to God. 1 NOW let our souls, on wings sublime, 2 Born by a new celestial birth, 3 Shall aught beguile us on the road, 4 Welcome, sweet hour of full discharge, 5 To dwell with God, to feel his love, |
