122. Beautiful Home for Thee, Mother.

From New Melodeon, by permission.

Rev. J. W. Dadmun.

1. There's a beau-ti-ful home for thee, mother, A home, a home for thee;

In that land of bliss, where pleasure is, There, mother's a home for thee.

Chorus.

A beau-ti-ful home for

thee, A beautiful home for thee;

In that land of bliss,where pleasure is, There, mother's a home for thee.

A robe, a robe for thee;
A robe of white, so pure and bright,
A glorious robe for thee.

2 There's a beautiful rest for thee, mother, | 4 There's a beautiful robe for thee, mother
A rest, a rest for thee;
In that home above, where all is love,
There, mother's a rest for thee.
3 There's a beautiful crown for thee, mother,
A beautiful crown for thee;
When the battle's fought, the victory won,
Our Saviour will give it thee.

5 We'll seek that beautiful home, mother,
That home, that home above;
In that land of light, where all is bright,
That mansion where all is love

[Hymn No. 121 continued.]

2 Fear not, says Christ, ye little flock, | Fight on, fight on, ye heirs of grace Heirs of immortal glory;

For ye are built upon the rock:
The kingdom lies before you.

And tell the pleasing story;

I'm with my little flock always.
I'll bring them home to glory.

{Love di-vine, all love excelling, Joy of heav'n to earth come down,}

Fix in us thy humble dwelling, All thy faith-ful mer-cies crown. D. C. Vis-it us with thy sal va-tion, En-ter ev-'ry trembling heart.

D. C.

Je-sus, thou art all compassion, Pure unbounded love thou art,

Jesus, thou

art all compassion, Pure unbound ed love thou art,

[ocr errors]

2 Breathe, O breathe thy loving spirit | Thee we would be always blessing, Into every troubled breast;

Let us all in thee inherit,

Let us find that second rest; Take away our bent to sinning, Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, almighty to deliver, Let us all thy life receive; Suddenly return, and never, Nevermore thy temples leave: 124.

Serve thee as thy hosts above,
Pray and praise thee without ceasing,
Glory in thy perfect love.

4 Finish, then, thy new creation;
Pure and spotless let us be;
Let us see thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in thee:
Changed from glory into glory,

Till in heaven we take our placeTill we cast our crowns before thee, Lost in wonder, love and praise.

Lord, Revive Us.

[blocks in formation]

Saviour, vis-it thy plan-ta-tion, Grant us, Lord, a gra-cious rain;
All will come to des o la-tion Un- less thou re-turn a gain.

Chorus.

Lord, revive us, O, revive us; Lord, re-vive thy work in

me;

Good Lord, re-vive us, O, re- · vive us, All our help must come from thee

1. Je-sus, I my cross have ta-ken, All to leave and fol-low thee;

Fine.

Naked, poor, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shalt be. D.S. Yet how rich is my con-di-tion, God and heav'n are still mine own.

D. S.

Per-ish ev'-ry fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known,

Armed by faith, and winged by prayer, Heaven's eternal days before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there, Soon shall close thinè earthly mission, Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days, Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. 5 Man may trouble and distress me,

2 Let the world despise and leave me; | 4 Haste thee on from grace to glory,
They have left my Saviour too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me,
Thou art not like them, untrue;
And while thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate and friends disown me;.
Show thy face, and all is bright.
3 Go, then, earthly fame and treasure,
Come, disaster, scorn, and pain,
In thy service pain is pleasure,
With thy favor loss is gain.
I have called thee Abba, Father,
I have set my heart on thee;
Storms may howl, and clouds may gather,
All must work for good to me.

'T will but drive me to thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me,

Heaven will bring me sweeter rest.
Oh! 'tis not in grief to harm me,

While thy love is left to me;
Oh! 'twere not in joy to charm me,
Were that joy unmixed with thee.

[Hymn No. 124 continued.]

2 Keep no longer at a distance,
Shine upon us from on high,
Lest for want of thine assistance
Every plant should droop and die.
3 Let our mutual love be fervent,
Make as prevalent in prayers;

Let each one esteemed thy servant

Shun the world's bewitching snares.
4 Break the tempter's fatal power,
Turn the stony heart to flesh;
And begin from this good hour
To revive thy work afresh.

126. I Shall Know Thee in the Morning. Words and Music by Rev. L. Hartsough.

Joyous and spirited.

Fine.

I shall know thee in the morn-ing, When Jesus calls his own;

I shall in the-more--tion, And heav'nly joys are won:

D. C. I shall know thee in the morn-ing, When all the saints a

rise.

On the right hand where they gath-er Who are fit-ted for the skies

2 I shall meet thee in the morning,
Where the river of life flows fair,
Where the sunlight gilds the highlands,
And music fills the air;
Where the flow'r-deck'd arbors lavish
Their odors fresh and free;

I shall meet thee in the morning
Of a bright eternity.

3 I shall see thee in the morning
Of heaven's eternal light;
Where the saints of ev'ry nation
Are robed in changeless white;
With Jesus and his angels,

The glad host of the skies;
I shall see thee in the morning,
When all the saints arise.

127.

4 I shall join thee in the morning

Where partings never come,
Where those we loved in Jesus
Forever are at home.
We'll range the plains together,
And joy in bliss untold,

I shall join thee in the morning
Where the streets are paved with gold.
5 I shall know thee in the morning
With the waking sainted dead,
Cheered by the gladsome presence
Of Christ our living Head;
Arrayed in robes of brightness,
Exultant for the prize;

I shall know thee in the morning,
When all the saints arise.

Come, My Brethren.

Fine.

What is this that casts you down? What is this that grieves you?

{Drooping souls

no longer grieve, Hea-ven is pro - pi-tious; Hea-veill ind him precious. If on Christ you

Je-sus now is passing by, Calls the mourners

to him,

He has died for you and I;

Now look up and view him.

2 From his hands, his feet, his side, | 5 Streaming mercy, how it flows,

Runs a healing fountain;

See the consolation tide, Boundless as the ocean. See the living waters move For the sick and dying; Now resolve to gain his love, Or to perish trying.

8 Grace's store is always free, Drooping souls to gladden; Jesus calls: Come unto me. Weary, heavy laden.

Now I know; I feel it;

Half has never yet been told,

Yet I want to tell it.

Jesus' blood has healed my wounds
Oh, the wondrous story!

I was lost, but now am found,
Glory! glory! glory!

6 Glory to my Saviour's name,

Saints are bound to love him; Mourners, you may do the same, Only come and prove him.

Though your sins like mountains rise, Hasten to the Saviour's blood,

Rise and reach to heaven;

Soon as you on him rely

All shall be forgiven.

4 Now methinks I hear one say:
I will go and prove him;
If he takes my sins away
Surely I shall love him.
Yes, I see the Father smile,
Smiling moves my burden;
All is grace, for I am vile,

Yet he seals my pardon.

Feel it and declare it;

O, that I could sing so loud

All the world might hear it. 7 If no greater joys are known In the upper region, I will try to travel on

In this pure religion. Heaven's here, heaven's there, Glory's here and yonder; Brightest seraphs shout amen, While the angels wonder.

[Hymn No. 127 continued.]

2 Christ at times by faith I view,
And it doth relieve me,
But my doubts return anew,
They are those that grieve me.
Troubled, like the restless sea,
Feeble, faint and fearful,
Plagued with every sore disease
How can I be cheerful?

3 Think on what your Saviour bore
In the gloomy garden,
Sweating blood at every pore
To procure thy pardon.
View him nailed to the tree,
Bleeding, groaning, dying,
See! he suffered this for thee,
Therefore be believing.
