Page 76 - As the winged arrow flies, Speedily the mark to find ; As the lightning from the skies Darts, and leaves no trace behind ; Swiftly thus our fleeting days Bear us down life's rapid stream ; Upward, Lord, our spirits raise; All below is but a dream.
Page 35 - I'm constrained to be! Let that grace now, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to Thee: Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here's my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above.
Page 1 - Prince of peace ! Hail, the Sun of righteousness ! Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in His wings : Mild He lays His glory by, Born that man no more may die ; Born to raise the sons of earth ; Born to give them second birth.
Page 35 - I'm fixed upon it, Mount of God's unchanging love. 2. Here I raise my Ebenezer, Hither by Thy help I'm come; And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home.
Page 7 - Come, thou Incarnate Word! Gird on thy mighty sword, Our prayer attend. Come, and thy people bless, And give thy word success ; Spirit of holiness, On us descend. 3 Come, Holy Comforter! Thy sacred witness bear, In this glad hour. Thou, who almighty art, Now rule in every heart, And ne'er from us depart, Spirit of power.
Page vi - Here's love and grief beyond degree, The Lord of glory dies for men ! But lo ! what sudden joys we see ! Jesus the dead revives again ! 4 The rising God forsakes the tomb ! Up to his Father's court he flies ; Cherubic legions guard him home, And shout him welcome to the skies.
Page 5 - To God the Son belongs Immortal glory too, Who bought us with His blood From everlasting woe : And now he lives, and now he reigns, And sees the fruit of all His pains.
Page v - 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 viii - Glory to the new-born KINO. Amen Christmas. Hymn 48. (SECOND TuNE). X "Glory to GOD in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men." HARK I the herald angels sing Glory to the new-born KING, Peace on earth, and mercy mild, GOD and sinners reconciled.
Page 11 - He whom I fix my hopes upon; His track I see, and I'll pursue The narrow way, till him I view. 2 [The way the holy prophets went, The road that leads from banishment, The King's highway of holiness I'll go, for all his paths are peace.] 3 This is the way I long have sought, And mourned because I found it not; My grief, my burden long has been, Because I could not cease from sin.
