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, 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, 5. Jesus, Thou Friend divine, 6. Sure as Thy truth shall last, The brightest glories earth can yield, And brighter bliss of heaven. 718. S. M. DWIGHT. 1. LET party names no more 2. Among the saints on earth 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. BEDDOME ELEU. 7s. 6 1. When shall we all meet again? When shall we all meet again? Oft shall glowing hope expire; 9:56 2 Oft shall wearied love retire, Oft shall death and sorrow reign, Ere we all shall meet again. 719. P. M. 7s. 1. WHEN shall we all meet again? Oft shall death and sorrow reign, 2. Though on foreign shore we sigh, 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.

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; 2. By thy reconciling love, Every stumbling-block remove: 3. Make us of one heart and mind,— 4. Let us for each other care; 5. Free from anger and from pride, 6. Let us then with joy remove On the wings of angels fly; C. WESLEY. Soon the joyful news will come, "Child, your Father calls-come home!" 2. In the way a thousand snares 3. But of all the foes we meet, 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, All the heights of holiness; 724. 78. C. WESLEY. 1. FOR a season called to part, 2. Jesus, hear our humble prayer: 3. In Thy strength may we be strong; NEWTON. |
