619. [L. B. 316.] 8 lines 7 & 6. 2 3 Lo! I come with joy, to do Careful without care I am, Thou, O Lord, in tender love, Calm on tumult's wheel I sit, 4 O that all the art may know Find their heaven begun below, 620. [L. B. 317.] 6 lines 8. CAPTAIN of Israel's host, and Guide Beneath thy shadow we abide, 2 By thy unerring Spirit led, SECTION VI. MARINERS. 621. [S. B. 268.] 4 lines 6 & 2-8. JESUS, at thy command, I launch into the deep; Where sin lulls all asleep; For thee I fain would all resign, And sail to heaven with thee and thine. 2 What though the seas are broad; 3 4 Yet what are seas and stormy wind, Christ is my Pilot wise; By faith I see the land, The haven of endless rest; 5 My soul, thy wings expand, O may I reach the heavenly shore, Come, heavenly Wind, and blow To heaven, my destined place: 622. C. M. THE northern pole, and southern, rest 2 He bids the liquid waters flow 3 Thy words the raging winds control, 4 Rejoice, ye seamen, in the Lord; Sing of his name, his ways, his word, 623. C. M. A SHIPWRECK'D world bestrews the shores Of vast eternity; While Sinai's thundering tempest roars 2 Wreck'd in the storm which sin has raised, The whole creation groans; While fiery hills their lightnings blaze, 'Mid nature's dying moans. 3 But grace, what wondrous grace has done! Sinners, be not afraid; God loved the world, and gave his Son, 4 Here's refuge from the furious blast: On him be my soul's anchor cast; SECTION VII. THE YOUNG. 624. [S. B. 145.] RELIGION is the chief concern, Of mortals here below; May I its great importance learn: C. M. 2 Religion should our thoughts engage, 3 O may my heart, by grace renew'd, Be my Redeemer's throne; And be my stubborn will subdued, His government to own. 4 Let deep repentance, faith, and love, And all my conversation prove 5 Preserve me from the snares of sin, And in me let each virtue shine 6 Let lively hope my soul inspire; And may I wait with strong desire, 625. C. M. RELIGION is a glorious light, For man's salvation given: Faith's guiding lamp thro' nature's night; 2 It beams in every sacred page 3 Religion-'tis to feel within, 4 Religion thus directs through time To faith, and hope, and love. 5 O God! instruct us in the strife, 6 Creator, Saviour, Father-thine Are all our youthful powers; Make faith, and hope, and love divine, 626. THERE is a precious day; + S. M. |
