Page 172 - CHILDREN of the heavenly King, As ye journey, sweetly sing, Sing your Saviour's worthy praise, Glorious in his works and ways. 2 Ye are travelling home to God, In the way the fathers trod ; They are happy now, and ye Soon their happiness shall see. 3 Shout, ye little flock, and blest, You on Jesus' throne shall rest ; There your seat is now prepared, There your kingdom and reward.
Page 85 - GOD is the refuge of his saints, When storms of sharp distress invade ; Ere we can offer our complaints, Behold him present with his aid. 2 Let mountains from their seats be hurled Down to the deep, and buried there ; Convulsions shake the solid world, Our faith shall never yield to fear.
Page 86 - Life, like a fountain rich and free, Springs from the presence of my Lord ; And in Thy light our souls shall see The glories promised in Thy word.
Page 45 - People and realms of every tongue Dwell on His love with sweetest song ; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His Name. 4 Blessings abound where'er He reigns; The prisoner leaps to lose his chains, The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest.

Page 181 - SONGS of praise the angels sang, Heaven with hallelujahs rang, When Jehovah's work begun, When he spake, and it was done. 2 Songs of praise awoke the morn When the Prince of peace was born; Songs of praise arose, when he Captive led captivity. 3 Heaven and earth must pass away, Songs of praise shall crown that day : God will make new heavens and earth; Songs of praise shall hail their birth.
Page 189 - LOVE divine, all love excelling, Joy of heaven, to earth come down ! Fix in us thy humble dwelling, All thy faithful mercies crown ; Jesus', thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love thou art ; Visit us with thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart.

Page 64 - WITH glory clad, with strength arrayed, The Lord, that o'er all nature reigns, The world's foundations strongly laid, And the vast fabric still sustains. c 2 How surely stablished is thy throne ! Which shall no change or period see ; For thou, O Lord, and thou alone, Art God from all eternity. 3 The floods, O Lord, lift up their voice, And toss the troubled waves on high ; But God above can still their noise, And make the angry sea comply.
Page 109 - Lo! such the child whose early feet The paths of peace have trod;' Whose secret heart, with influence sweet, Is upward drawn to God.
