716. S. M.

2. Before our Father's throne

We pour our ardent prayers;

Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, Our comforts and our cares.

3. We share our mutual woes,

Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows

The sympathizing tear.

4. When we asunder part,

It gives us inward pain;

But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again.

5. This glorious hope revives

Our courage by the way; While each in expectation lives, And longs to see the day.

6. From sorrow, toil, and pain,

And sin, we shall be free,

And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.

717. S. M.

1. I LOVE Thy kingdom, Lord, The house of Thine abode,

FAWCETT.

The Church, our blest Redeemer saved With His own precious blood.

2. I love Thy church, O God!

Her walls before Thee stand,

Dear as the apple of Thine eye,
And graven on Thy hand.

3. For her my tears shall fall, For her my prayers ascend;

To her my cares and toils be given, Till toils and cares shall end.

4. Beyond my highest joy

I prize her heavenly ways,

Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise.

5. Jesus, Thou Friend divine,
Our Saviour, and our King,
Thy hand from every snare and foe,
Shall great deliverance bring.

6. Sure as Thy truth shall last,
To Zion shall be given

The brightest glories earth can yield, And brighter bliss of heaven.

718. S. M.

DWIGHT.

1. LET party names no more
The Christian world o'erspread;
Gentile and Jew, and bond and free,
Are one in Christ, their Head.

2. Among the saints on earth
Let mutual love be found;

Heirs of the same inheritance,

With mutual blessings crowned.

3. Thus will the Church below Resemble that above,

Where streams of pleasure ever flow, And every heart is love.

719. P. M. 7s.

1. WHEN shall we all meet again?
When shall we all meet again?
Oft shall glowing hope expire;
Oft shall wearied love retire,

Oft shall death and sorrow reign,
Ere we all shall meet again.

2. Though on foreign shore we sigh,
Far remote our native sky;
Though the depth between us roll,
Hope shall anchor there our soul,

And in faith's well known domain, Within the vail, we'll meet again. 3. When the dreams of life are fled, When its wasted lamps are dead, When in cold oblivion's shade Beauty, wealth, and fame, are laid, Where immortal spirits reign, Thither soar, to meet again!

720. 7s.

1. 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 traveling 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 preparedThere your kingdom and reward. 4. Fear not, brethren, joyful stand On the borders of your land;

1. JESUS, Lord, we look to Thee;
Let us in Thy name agree;
Show thyself the Prince of Peace;
Bid our jars for ever cease.

2. By thy reconciling love,

Every stumbling-block remove:
Each to each unite, endear;
Come, and spread Thy banner here.

3. Make us of one heart and mind,—
Courteous, pitiful, and kind;
Lowly, meek, in thought and word,-
Altogether like our Lord.

4. Let us for each other care;
Each the other's burden bear;
To Thy Church the pattern give;
Show how true believers live.

5. Free from anger and from pride,
Let us thus in God abide;
All the depths of love express,—
All the heights of holiness.

6. Let us then with joy remove
To the family above;

On the wings of angels fly;
Show how true believers die.

C. WESLEY.

2. In the way a thousand snares
Lie, to take us unawares;
Satan, with malicious art,
Watches each unguarded part:
But, from Satan's malice free,
Saints shall soon victorious be;
Soon the joyful news will come,
"Child, your Father calls-come home!"

3. But of all the foes we meet,
None so oft mislead our feet,
None betray us into sin,
Like the foes that dwell within;
Yet let nothing spoil our peace,
Christ shall also conquer these;
Soon the joyful news will come,
"Child, your Father calls-come home!"

723. 7s.

1. WHEN, my Saviour, shall I be Perfectly resigned to thee? Poor and vile in my own eyes, Only in Thy wisdom wise?

2. Only Thee content to know,
Ignorant of all below?
Only guided by Thy light?
Only mighty in Thy might?
3. Fully in my life express

All the heights of holiness;
Sweetly let my spirit prove
All the depths of humble love.

724. 78.

C. WESLEY.

1. FOR a season called to part,
Let us now ourselves commend
To the gracious eye and heart
Of our ever-present Friend.

2. Jesus, hear our humble prayer:
Tender Shepherd of Thy sheep,
Let Thy mercy and Thy care
All our souls in safety keep.

3. In Thy strength may we be strong;
Sweeten every cross and pain;
Spare us, that we may, ere long,
Meet and worship Thee again.
