1. O THAT the Lord's salvation,
Jehovah's great salvation,

Were out of Zion come!
To heal His ancient nation,
His long forsaken nation-

To lead His outcasts home!
2. How long the holy city,
Zion, the holy city,

Shall heathen feet profane?
Return, O God, in pity,
In everlasting pity,

Rebuild her walls again.

3. Let fall Thy rod of terror,
Thine iron rod of terror,

Thy saving grace impart!
Remove the vail of error,
The midnight vail of error,

Release the fettered heart.
4. Let Israel home returning,
With ransom home returning,
Their lost Messiah see!
Give oil of joy for mourning,
For ages long of mourning,

And build Thy church to Thee!

DOXOLOGY. 7s & 6s.

GLORY be Thine for ever,
O Lord, of life the Giver,

Immortal Kings of kings,

To Thee thrice-named be praises, Loud as all Heaven raises,

While earth responsive sings.

1. NEARER, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee!

E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me;

Still all my song shall be,—
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!

2. Though, like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,—
Nearer to Thee!

3. There let the way appear,
Steps unto heaven;

All that Thou sendest me,
In mercy given;

Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,-
Nearer to Thee!

4. Then with my waking thoughts,
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs,
Bethel I'll raise;

So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,-
Nearer to Thee!

5. Or if on joyful wing,
Cleaving the sky,

Omit the second repeat.

Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upward I fly;

Still all my song shall be,Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee.

899. 6s & 4s.

1. I'M but a stranger here: Heaven is my home; Earth is a desert drear: Heaven is my home; Danger and sorrow stand Round me on every hand, Heaven is my Father landHeaven is my home.

2. What though the tempests rage:
Heaven is my home;
Short is my pilgrimage:
Heaven is my home;
And time's wild, wintry blast
Soon will be over past,

I shall reach home at last-
Heaven is my home.

3. Therefore I murmur not:
Heaven is my home;
Whate'er my earthly lot,
Heaven is my home;
And I shall surely stand
There at my Lord's right hand:
Heaven is my Father land-
Heaven is my home.

1. YEA, I will extol Thee,

Lord of Life and Light;
For Thine arm upheld me,
Turned my foes to flight.

2. I implored Thy succor,

Thou was swift to save,
To heal my wounded spirit,
And bring me from the grave.

3. Grief may, like the pilgrim,

Through the night sojourn, Yet shall joy, to-morrow, With the sun return.

4. Thou hast turned my mourning Into minstrelsy;

Girded me with gladness,

Set from thraldom free.

5. Thee my ransomed powers Henceforth shall adore; Thee, my great Deliverer, Bless for evermore!

1. GOD of our salvation!
Unto Thee we pray;
Hear our supplication,
Be our strength and stay.
2. Wretched and unworthy,
Poor, and sick, and blind,
Prostrate we adore Thee,
Call Thy grace to mind.
3. He that dwelleth near Thee,
Safely shall abide;
Ever love and fear Thee,
In Thy strength confide.
4. Sure is Thy protection,
Safe is Thy defence,
While in deep affliction,
Woe, or pestilence.

5. God of our Salvation!

Saviour, Prince of Peace!
Boundless Thy compassion,
Infinite Thy grace.

6. While with love unceasing,
Humbly we adore;
Grant us Thy rich blessing,
And we ask no more.
