Page 380 - We'll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heavens our voices raise And Earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise. 5 Wide as the world is Thy command, Vast as eternity Thy love ; Firm as a rock Thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.
Page 462 - Travelling through this wilderness. 2 Thanks we give and adoration For Thy Gospel's joyful sound ; May the fruits of Thy salvation In our hearts and lives abound : May Thy presence With us evermore be found ! 3 So, whene'er the signal 's given Us from earth to call away, Borne on angels' wings to heaven, Glad the summons to obey, May we ever Reign with Christ in endless day ! Amen.

Page 45 - SWEET the moments, rich in blessing, Which before the cross I spend ; Life, and health, and peace possessing, From the sinner's dying Friend, Here I'll sit for ever viewing, Mercy's streams in streams of blood, Precious drops my soul bedewing, Plead and claim my peace with God.
Page 321 - TIS a point I long to know, Oft it causes anxious thought — Do I love the Lord, or no ; Am I his, or am I not?
Page 462 - ARM of the Lord, awake, awake ! Put on Thy strength, the nations shake, And let the world, adoring, see Triumphs of mercy wrought by Thee. 2 Say to the heathen from Thy throne, ' I am JEHOVAH, God alone ; ' Thy voice their idols shall confound, And cast their altars to the ground.
