2 Star of hope! gleam on the billow, 3 Star of faith! when winds are mocking 4 Star divine! oh, safely guide him,- 1341. New Year. 10s & 58. 1 COME, let us anew our journey pursue- And never stand still till the Master appear; And our talents improve By the patience of hope, and the labor of love. 2 Our life is a dream; our time, as a stream, And the fugitive moment refuses to stay: Rushes on to our view, and eternity's near. 3 Oh, that each, in the day of His coming, may say, "I have fought my way through; I have finished the work thou didst give me to do;" Oh, that each from his Lord may receive the glad word, "Well and faithfully done! Enter into my joy, and sit down on my throne!" 1342. Parting Hymn. 6s & 5s 1 WHEN shall we meet again, When will peace wreathe her chain Our hearts will ne'er repose, Safe from each blast that blows, Never-no, never! 2 When shall love freely flow Where joys celestial thrill, Where bliss each heart shall fill, 3 Up to that world of light May we all there unite, Where kindred spirits dwell, 4 Soon shall we meet again, Meet ne'er to sever; Soon shall peace wreathe her chain Our hearts will then repose Secure from worldly woes; Our songs of praise shall close Never-no, never! 1343. P.M. Ein' Feste Burg. 1 A MIGHTY fortress is our God, Our Helper he, amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing. 2 Did we in our own strength confide, Lord Sabaoth is his name, From age to age the same, And he must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, We will not fear, for God hath willed One little word shall fell him! 4 That word above all earthly powers- The Spirit and the gifts are ours Let goods and kindred go, 1344. Psalm 146. L. P. M. 1 I'LL praise my Maker with my breath, Praise shall employ my nobler powers: 2 Happy the man, whose hopes rely And earth, and seas, with all their train': He saves the oppressed, he feeds the poor; 3 I'll praise him while he lends me breath; DOXOLOGIES. 1. 2. 3. 4.
