o-ver, We'll anchor in the harbor soon, In the land beyond the riv-er.

No cankering care nor mortal strife,
Beyond, beyond the river,
But happy, never-ending life,
Beyond, beyond the river.
Through the eternal hours,
God's love, in heavenly showers,
Shall water faith's fair flowers

In the land beyond the river.
3 That glorious day will ne'er be done,
Beyond, beyond the river,
When we've the crown and kingdom won,
Beyond, beyond the river.

[Hymn No. 3 We'll journey together to Zion, With rapture we soon shall behold The saints who have reached it before us, The prophets and martyrs of old.

There is eternal pleasure, And joys that none can measure, For those who have their treasure In the land beyond the river. 4 When shall we look from Zion's hill, Beyond, beyond the river? With endless bliss our hearts shall thrill, Beyond, beyond the river. There angels bright are singing, Where golden harps are ringing, We ne'er shall cease our singing In the land beyond the river. 460 continued.] We'll learn the new song of redemption, Which only the ransomed can sing; Ascribing all honor and glory To Jesus our Saviour and King.

hail th'auspicious day,

hail.. th'aus-picious day.

2 In heav'n the rapt'rous song began, And sweet seraphic fire Through all the shining legions ran, And strung and tuned the lyre. 3 Swift thro' the vast expanse it flew, And loud the echo roll'd; The theme, the song, the joy was new, 'Twas more than heav'n could hold.

Το hail th'auspicious day, To 4 Down thro' the portals of the sky The impetuous torrent ran, And angels flew with eager joy

To bear the news to man.

5 With joy the chorus we'll repeat: "Glory to God on high;

Good will and peace are now complete

Jesus was born to die."

6 Hail, Prince of life, forever hail!
Redeemer, Brother, Friend!
Tho' earth, and time, and life shall fail
Thy praise shall never end.

7 Hark! the cherubic armies shout,
And glory leads the song:
Good will and peace are heard throughout
Th' harmonious heavenly throng.

The Messiah's Coming and Kingdom.

1 Joy to the world, the Lord is come,
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare him room,
And heaven and nature sing.
2 Joy to the earth, the Saviour reigns,
Let men their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy.

3 No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make his blessings flow
As far as sin is found.

4 He rules the worlds with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness,
And wonders of his love.

All to Him I Owe.

Chorus.

fice In my be-half appears. Je-sus paid it all, All the debt I owe,

Sin had left a crim-son stain, He wash-es white as snow.

467.

1 I hear the Saviour say,

Thy strength indeed is small, Child of weakness, watch and pray, Find in me thy all in all. CHO-Jesus paid it all,

All to him I owe;

Sin had left a crimson stain,
He wash'd it white as snow.

2 Lord, now indeed I find

Thy blood, and thine alone, Can change the leper's spots,

And melt the heart of stone. 3 Then down beneath his cross I'll lay my sin-sick soul, For naught have I to bringThy grace must make me whole. 4 When from my dying bed

My ransom'd soul shall riseThen "Jesus paid it all!" Shall rend the vaulted skies. Rev. A. COOKMAN.

468.

1 Come listen, weary soul,

Look up! the Saviour cries
'Tis finished; man's redeemed;
For lo! the Saviour dies.
CHO.-Jesus paid it all,

All the debt I owe,

In that fountain fill'd with blood
He washes white as snow.

2 'Tis finished, that great work
That Jesus came to do;
The ransom's paid, O! yes,

And paid for me and you. 3 We all were dead in sin,

But faith in Christ gives life;
Confess him with thy mouth,

Believe and end the strife.
4 So shall thy soul find peace,
Thy load of sin be gone,
And love shall fill thy heart.
And sweet shall be thy song.
E. A. PECK.
