"Rock of Ages."-1 COR. x: 4.

1. Rock of ages! cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee!
Let the water and the blood,
From thy riven side that flowed,
Be of sin the double cure-
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.
2 Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears for ever flow-
All for sin could not atone:
Thou must save, and thou alone!
Nothing in my hand I bring;
Simply to thy cross I cling.

3. While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See thee on thy judgment throne,-
Rock of Ages! cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee!

476. 1. SAVIOUR! happy would I be, If I could but trust in thee; Trust thy wisdom me to guide; Trust thy goodness to provide; Truet thy saving love and power; Trust thee every day and hour: 2 Trust thee as the only light

Blessedness of Trust in Christ.

In the darkest hour of night;
Trust in sickness, trust in health;
Trust in poverty and wealth;
Trust in joy, and trust in grief;
Trust thy promise for relief:

1. BLESSED Saviour! thee I love,
All my other joys above;
All my hopes in thee abide,
Thou my hope, and naught beside:
Ever let my glory be
Only, only, only thee.

2. Once again beside the cross,
All my gain I count but loss;
Earthly pleasures fade away,-
Clouds they are that hide my day:
Hence, vain shadows! let me see
Jesus crucified for me.

3. From beneath that thorny crown
Trickle drops of cleansing down;
Pardon from thy piercéd hand
Now I take, while here I stand;
Only then I live to thee,
When thy wounded side I see.
4. Blessed Saviour! thine am I,
Thine to live, and thine to die;
Height, or depth, or earthly power
Ne'er shall hide my Saviour more:
Ever shall my glory be
Only, only, only thee!
