3. Strong temptations may beset me. Snares my pathway may bestrew, But he never will forget me,

He will guard and guide me too. He observes each poor endeavor To escape from sin's control,

And the sunshine of his favor

Cheers my fainting, struggling soul.

4. When the shades of death o'erspread me,

And the streams of life congeal,

61. Sweetly Sing.

Faithful Shepherd, do thou lead me Safely through the silent vale: When I lay aside the mortal, Immortality to prove,

Bear me through the heavenly portal, Place me in thy fold above.

63. Birth of the Saviour.

1. HARK, the herald angels sing,
Glory to the new-born King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled."

2. Joyful, all ye nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th' angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem."

3. Veiled in flesh the Godhead see,
Hail th' incarnate Deity;
Pleased as man with men t' appear
Jesus our Emmanuel here.

4. Hail the heav'n-born Prince of peace;
Hail the Sun of righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
Risen with healing in his wings.
5. Mild he lay his glory by-
Born, that man no more may die;
Born to raise the sons of earth;
Born to give them second birth.

64. Jubilee of the World. 1. HARK, the song of jubilee! Loud as mighty thunders roar, Or the fulness of the sea

When it breaks upon the shore:
2. Hallelujah! for the Lord
God omnipotent shall reign;
Hallelujah! let the word

Echo round the earth and main.

3. See Jehovah's banner furled, [done; Sheath'd his sword: he speaks: 't is And the kingdoms of this world

Are the kingdoms of his Son.

4. He shall reign from pole to pole With illimitable sway:

He shall reign, when, like a scroll,

Yonder heavens have passed away.

5. Then the end: beneath his rod
Man's last enemy shall fall;
Hallelujah! Christ in God,
God in Christ, is all in all.

3. Now the skilful fingers
Sweep the golden lyre;
Not a harper lingers
In that ransomed choir;
Voices sweetly blending

With the tuneful string,
To the throne ascending,

Praise the heavenly King.-CHO.

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.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He to rescue me from danger,

Interposed his precious blood.

3. Oh to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be! Let that grace now, like a fetter, Bind my wandering soul to thee: 50

68. Sinners Entreated.

FOUNT, omitting the repeat.

1. SINNERS, will you scorn the message
Sent in mercy from above?
Every sentence, Oh how tender!
Every line is full of love:
Listen to it;

Every line is full of love.

2. Hear the heralds of the gospel
News from Zion's King proclaim,
To each rebel sinner, "Pardon,
Free forgiveness in his name:"
How important!
Free forgiveness in his name!

Bread of heaven,

Feed me till I want no more. 2. Open, Lord, the crystal fountain Whence the healing streams do flow; Let the fiery, cloudy pillar,

Lead me all my journey through; Strong Deliverer,

Be thou still my strength and shield. 3. When I tread the verge of Jordan Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of death, and hell's destruction, Land me safe on Canaan's side: Songs of praises

I will ever give to thee.

ROBINSON.
