5 No longer hosts encountering hosts
Their millions slain deplore;

They hang the trumpet in the hall,
And study war no more.

6 Come, then! O come, from every land,
To worship at His shrine;
And, walking in the Light of God,
With holy beauties shine.

Gotye messengers of God;

MARSDEN.

UT Like the beams of morning fly!
Take the wonder-working rod;
Lift the Saviour's cross on high.
2 Go to many a tropic isle,

In the bosom of the deep,
Where the skies for ever smile,
And the opprest for ever weep.
3 O'er the negro's night of care,
Pour the living light of heaven:
Chase away his wild despair;
Bid him hope to be forgiven.
4 Where the golden gates of day
Open on the gorgeous East,
Wide the wondrous cross display,
Spread the gospel's richest feast.
5 Sound aloud Jehovah's call;
Visit every soil and sea;

Preach the cross of Christ to all-
Christ whose love is full and free.

Go Messenger of peace and love,

BALFOUR.

To nations plunged in shades of night;
Like angels sent from fields above,
Be thine to shed celestial light.

2 Go, to the hungry food impart,
To paths of peace the wanderer guide;
And lead the thirsty, panting heart
Where streams of living water glide.

8 On barren rock and desert isle,
Go, bid the Rose of Sharon bloom;
Till arid wastes around thee smile,
Bright with the dews of morning's womb.
4 From north to south, from east to west,
Messiah yet shall reign supreme;
His Name, by every tongue confest;
His praise, the universal theme.
5 Then faint not in the day of toil,
When harvest waits the reaper's hand;
Go, gather in the glorious spoil,
And joyous in His presence stand.
6 Thy love a rich reward shall find i
From Him who sits enthroned on high;
For they who turn the erring mind
Shall shine like stars above the sky.

MONTGOMERY

SOW in the morn thy seed,

At eve hold not thy hand;

To doubt and fear give thou no heed,
Broad-cast it o'er the land.

Beside all waters sow,
The highway furrows stock,

Drop it where thorns and thistles grow,
Scatter it on the rock.

The good, the fruitful ground,
Expect not here, nor there;

O'er hill and dale, by plots 'tis found;
Go forth, then, everywhere.

And duly shall appear,

In verdure, beauty, strength,
The tender blade, the stalk, the ear,
And the full corn at length.

5 Thou canst not toil in vain ;

6

Cold, heat, and moist, and dry,
Shall foster and mature the grain
For garners in the sky.

Thence, when the glorious end,
The day of God is come,

The angel-reapers shall descend,
And heaven cry "Harvest home!"

MONTGOMERY.

HARK the song of Jubilee!
Loud as mighty thunders roar,
Or the fulness of the sea,

When it breaks upon the shore:
Hallelujah! for the Lord,

God Omnipotent, shall reign;
Hallelujah! let the word

Echo round the earth and main.
2 Hallelujah!-hark! the sound,
From the depths unto the skies,
Wakes above, beneath, around,
All creation's harmonies:

See Jehovah's banners furled,

[done,

Sheathed His sword: He speaks-'tis
And the kingdoms of this world
Are the kingdoms of His Son.

3 He shall reign from pole to pole
With illimitable sway;

He shall reign, when, like a scroll,
Yonder heavens have passed away:
Then the end;-beneath His rod
Man's last enemy shall fall;
Hallelujah! Christ in God,
God in Christ, is all in all.

Parting Hymns.

C.M.

C. WESLEY.

YOD of all consolation, take
The glory of Thy grace!
Thy gifts to Thee we render back
In ceaseless songs of praise.

2 Through Thee we now together came,
In singleness of heart;

We met, O Jesus, in Thy name,
And in Thy name we part.

3 We part in body, not in mind;
Our minds continue one;

And, each to each, in Jesus joined,
We hand in hand go on.

4 Subsists as in us all one soul,
No power can make us twain;
And mountains rise, and oceans roll,
To sever us, in vain.

5 Present we still in spirit are,
And intimately nigh,

While on the wings of faith and prayer
We each to other fly.

6 In Jesus Christ together we
In heavenly places sit;

Clothed with the sun, we smile to see
The moon beneath our feet.

7 Our life is hid with Christ in God;
Our Life shall soon appear,
And shed His glory all abroad
In all His members here.

8 The heavenly treasure now we have
In a mean house of clay;

But He shall to the utmost save,
And keep it to that day.

9 Our souls are in His mighty hand,
And He shall keep them still;
And you and I shall surely stand
With Him on Sion's hill!

10 Him eye to eye we there shall see;
Our face like His shall shine:
O what a glorious company,
When saints and angels join!

11 O what a joyful meeting there!
In robes of white arrayed,
Palms in our hands we all shall bear,
And crowns upon our head.

12 Then let us lawfully contend,

And fight our passage through; Bear in our faithful minds the end, And keep the prize in view.

13 Then let us hasten to the Day,
When all shall be brought home;
Come, O Redeemer, come away,
O Jesus, quickly come!

LIFT up your hearts to things above,

Ye followers of the Lamb,

And join with us to praise His love,
And glorify His name :

2 To Jesu's Name give thanks and sing,
Whose mercies never end;
Rejoice! rejoice! the Lord is King;
The King is now our Friend!

3 We, for His sake, count all things loss;
On earthly good look down;
And joyfully sustain the cross,
Till we receive the crown.

4 O let us stir each other up,
Our faith by works to' approve,
By holy, purifying hope,

And the sweet task of love!

5 Love us, though far in flesh disjoined,
Ye lovers of the Lamb;
And ever bear us on your mind,
Who think and speak the same:

6 You on our minds we ever bear,
Whoe'er to Jesus bow;

Stretch out the arms of faith and prayer,
And, lo! we reach you now.

7 The blessings all on you be shed,
Which God, in Christ, imparts;
We pray the Spirit of our Head
Into your faithful hearts.

8 Mercy and peace your portion be,
To carnal minds unknown,

The hidden manna, and the tree
Of life, and the white stone.

9 Let all who for the Promise wait,
The Holy Ghost receive;
