7.6.

O LAMR of God, still keep me Near to Thy wounded side;

Tis only there in safety And peace Ican abide.

What foes and snarées surround me! What lusts and fears within!

The grace that sought and found me Alone can keep me clean.

Tis only in Thee hiding, Iknow my life secure;

Only in Thee abiding,

The conflict can endure;

O PESUS, I have promised To serve Thee to the end; Be Thou for ever near me, My Master and my Friend! ILSshall not fear the battle If Thou art by my side, Nor wander from the pathway If Thou wilt be my guide.

O Nesus, Thou hast promised To all who follow Thee,

That where Thou art in glory, There shall Thy servant be;

TO Thee, O dear, dear Saviour, My spirit turns for rest, My peace is in Thy favour, My pillow on Thy breast. Though all the world deceive me, ILknowe that Lam Thine, And Thou wilt never leave me, O blessed Saviour mine!

In Thee my trust abideth,

O LAMB OF G60OD.

On Theéee my hope relies O Thou, whose love provideth For all beneath the skies!

TIE holiest we enter x In perfect peace with God; ö Our thoughts are made to centre In Jesus and His blood; And while we mourn our dulness, In thought, and Word, and deed, We glory in His fulness, Which meets our every need. Much incense is ascending Before our Father's throne, His gracious ear is bending To hear our feeblest groan;

How sad on Thee they fall, Seen through Thy gentle patience, Itenfold feel them all! ILRnow they are forgiven, But still their pain to me Is all the grief and anguish

MV SINS, MV SINS.

They laid, my Lord, on Thee. Hymns on this page to Tune 235.

J. G. Drex. Thine arm the victory gaineth Over every hurtful foe; Thy love my heart sustaineth In all its cares and woe.

3 Soon shall my eyes béehold Thee,

With rapture, face to face; One half hath not béeen told me

Of all Thy power and grace; Thy beauty, Lord, and glory,

The wonders of Thy love, Shall be the endless story

Of all Thy saints above.

EROMISED. J. Bown.

And, Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end;

O give me grace to follow, My Master and my Friend!

3 O let me see Thy footmarks,

And in them plant mine oπτn; My hope to follow duly Is in Thy strength alone! Oh, guide me, call me, draw me, Uphold me to the end; And uthen in heaven receive me, My Saviour and my Friend!

SAVIOUR. J. S. B. MoxNsEII.

O Thou, whose mercy found me, From bondage set me free,

And then for ever bound me, With three-fold cords to Thee!

3 O for a heart to love Thee

NMoreè truly as ILought, And nothing place above Thee, In deed, or word or thought! O for that choicest blessing Of living in Thy love, And thus on earth possessing The peace of heaven above.

EENTER. ManX Bowix. To all our prayers and praĩses

Christ adds His sweet perfume; And love the altar raises

These odours to consume.

3 O God, we come with singing, Because our great High Priest Our names to Thee is bringing, And ne'er forgets the least; For us He wears the mitre, Where holiness Shines bright; For us His robes are hiter Than heaven's unclouded light

J. S. B. MoNSIII. 2 My sins, my sins, my Saviour! They take such hold on me, To loOoRE up I'm not able, Save only, Christ, to Thee: In Thee is all forgiveness, In Thee abundant grace, My shadow and my sunshine, The brightness of Thy face.
