Where grief and pain for ever cease,
And I shall sin no more.
2. No darkness there shall cloud the eyes,
No languor seize the frame;
But ever active vigour rise
To feed the vital flame.
3. But ah! a dreary vale between,
Extends its awful gloom:
Fear spreads, to hide the distant scene,
The horrors of the tomb.
4. O for the eye of faith divine,
To pierce beyond the grave!
To see that friend, and call him mine,
Whose arm is strong to save!
5. Here fix, my soul! for life is here;
Light breaks amid the gloom,
Trust in Jehovah's love, nor fear
The horror's of the tomb.
HYMN 520. L. M.
1. FROM this world's joys and senseless mirth,
O come, my soul! in haste retire;
Assume the grandeur of thy birth,
And to thy native heav'n aspire.
2. 'Tis heav'n alone can make thee blest,
Can ev'ry wish and want supply;
Thy joy, thy crown, thy endless rest,
Are all above the lofty sky.
3. Eternal mansions! bright array!
O blest exchange! transporting thought!
Free from th' approaches of decay,
Or the least shadow of a spot.
4. There shall mortality no more
Its wide extended empire boast!
Forgotten all its dreadful pow'r;
In life's unbounded ocean lost.
5. There dwells the sov'reign Lord of all,
The God that all the worlds adore;
With whom is bliss that cannot pall,
And joys that last for evermore.

ABSURD and vain attempt! to bind
Again the Lord of light
Ah! see him writhe, and bleed, and die
Ah wretched souls, who strive in vain
Alas! and did my Saviour bleed
All earthly charms, however dear
All-glorious God! what hymns of praise
All-pow'rful, self-existent. God
All praise to thee, my God! this night
All-seeing God! 'tis thine to know
Almighty Father! gracious Lord
Almighty God, thy pow'rful word
Amidst a world of hopes and fears
Amazing, beauteous change
And are we now brought near to God
And art thou with us, gracious Lord
And is the gospel peace and love
And shall we still be slaves
Author of good! we rest on thee
Author of life and bliss
Awake, my soul! and with the sun
Awake, my soul ! lift up thine eyes
Awake my soul! rouse ev'ry pow'r
Awake my soul! stretch ev'ry nerve
Awake, our souls! away our fears
Awake, ye saints! and raise your eyes
Awake, ye saints, to praise your King
Away from ev'ry mortal care
BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne
Begin, my soul, th' exalted lay
Behold, th' amazing sight
Behold the bleeding Lamb of God
Behold, the blind their sight receive
Behold! the lofty sky
Behold the morning sun
Behold the path which mortals tread
Blest is the man, whose heart is kind
Bright source of everlasting love
By various maxims, forms, and rules
CHILDREN, in years and knowledge young
Christ, the Lord, is ris'n to day
Come gracious Spirit, heav'nly Dove
Come hither, all ye weary souls
Come, holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove
Come, let our mournful songs record
Come, let our voices join to raise
Come, let us join our cheerful songs
Come, let us join our souls to God
Come, let us lift our voices high
Come let us search our ways and try
Come, Lord, and warm each languid heart
Come, said Jesus' sacred voice
Come sound his praise abroad
Come, weary souls, with sin distrest
Come, ye that love the Lord
Consider all my sorrows, Lord
Courage, my soul! while God is near
AUGHTERS of pity, tune the lay Diseases are thy servants, Lord Dost thou my worthless name record
EARLY, my God, without delay
"Eat, drink, in mem❜ry of your friend"
Eternal and immortal King
Eternal God, almighty cause
Eternal God! how frail is man
Eternal Sire, enthron'd on high
Eternal source of ev'ry joy
Eternal Spirit, source of light
AITH adds new charms to earthly bliss
Far from these scenes of night
Far hence each superstition vain
"Father divine," the Saviour cried
Father, I bless thy gentle hand
Father of all! eternal mind
Father of all! my soul defend
Father of all! whose cares extend
Father of Jesus Christ, my Lord
Father of men! thy care we bless
Father of mercies! God of love
Father of mercies, in thy word
Father of our feeble race
Firm was my health, my day was bright
For ever blessed be the Lord
Forsake, my soul ! the tents of sin
Frequent the day of God returns
From all that dwell below the skies
From north and south, from east and west
From this world's joys and senseless mirth
IVE thanks to God most high Give to our God immortal praise Give to the Lord, ye sons of fame
Give to the winds thy fears
God in the gospel of his Son
God is a spirit, just and wise
God is the refuge of his saints
God moves in a mysterious way
God, my supporter and my hope
God of eternity! from thee
God of mercy! God of grace
God of my life, through all its days
God of my mercy, and my praise
God of our lives! thy constant care
God, to correct, the world
God, who is just and kind
Grace, 'tis a charming sound
Greatest of beings, source of life
Great framer of unnumber'd worlds
Great God, arise and shine
Great God, at whose all-pow'rful call
Great God, how infinite art thou
Great God, indulge my humble claim
Great God, in vain man's narrow view
Great God! our joyful thanks to thee
Great God! the nations of the earth
Great God! thy peerless excellence
Great God! we sing that mighty hand
Great God! whilst I thy love admire
Great God! whose all-pervading eye
Great God! whose universal sway
Great Lord of angels! we adore
Great Ruler of all nature's frame
Great Ruler of the earth and skies
Great source of life, our souls confess
Great was the day, the joy was great
HAD the tongues of Greeks and Jews
Had not the Lord, may Israel say
Hail, great Creator, wise and good
Hail, happy morn! whose early ray
Happy is he, whose early years
