For a world of lost sinners was slain. So Itll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down, I will cling to the old rugged cross. And exchange it some day for a crown. Page 2 483 Sometimes 'mid scenes of deepest gloom, Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom, By waters calm, over troubled sea, Still. 'tis His hand that lead- eth me. Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine, Nor ever murmur nor repine, Content, whatever lot I see, Since Itis my God that leadeth me. And when my task on earth is done, When by ''hy grace the victory's won, Even death's cold wave I will not flee, Since God through Jordan lead.eth me. HYMN nnp What a Friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer! 0 what peace we often forfeit, 0 what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer! Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged; Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful,. Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness: Take it to the Lord in prayer. Are we weak and heavy -laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Saviour, still our refuge! Take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer, In His arms He'll take and shield thee; Thou wilt find a solace there. HYMN 376 Blestbe the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. Before our Father's throne We pour our ardent prayers: Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, Our comforts and our cares. 376 We share each other's woes, Each other's burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. When for a while we part, This thought will soothe our pain, That we shall still be joined in heart And one day meet again. One glorious hope revives Our courage by the way; While each in expectation lives And longs to see the day. When from all toil and pain And sin we shall be free, And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity. FifirAT31-1410H.90 All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful - The Lord God made them all. Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings, - He made their glowing colours, He made their tiny wings. The purple -headed mountain, The river running by, The sunset, and the morning That brightens up the sky, The cold wind in the winter. The pleasant summer Bun, The ripe fruits in the garden, - He made them every one. The tall trees in the greenwood, The meadows where we play, The rushes by the water, We gather every day, - He gave us eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell How great is God Almighty, Who has made all things well. HYMN C-181 Unto the hills around do I lift up My longing eyes: 0 whence for me shall my salv- ation come, From whence arise? From God the lord doth come my certain aid, From God the Lord who heaven and earth hath made. 681 He will not suffer -that thy foot be moved: Safe shalt thou be. No careless slumber shall His eye- lide close,. Who keepeth thee. Behold, He sleepeth not, He slumbereth ne'er, Who keepeth Israel in His holy care. Jehovah is Himself thy keeper true, Thy changeless shade; Jehovah thy defence on thy right hand Himself hath made. And thee no sun by day shall ever smite; No moon shall harm thee in the silent night. From every evil shall He keep thy soul, From every sin: Jehovah shall preserve Thy going out, Thy- coming in. Above thee watchingk He whom we adore Shall keep thee henceforth, yea, for evermore. u vMXT (-: A 7 0 God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home: Under the shadow of Thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defence is sure. Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting Thou art God, To endless years the same. A thousand ages in Thy sight Are like an evening gone, Short as the watch tt ends the night Before the rising sun. Time, like an ever -rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. 0 God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be Thou our guard while troubles last, And our eternal home. Page 3 HYMN 23 When _ all. Thy mercies, 0 my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love., and praise. 0 how shall words, with equal warmth, The gratitude declare That glows within my ravished heart? But Thou canst read it there. Teh thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart That tastes these gifts with joy. When worn with sickness, oft hast Thou With health renewed my face; And, when in sins and sorrows sunk, Revived my soul with grace. Through every period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. When nature fails, and day and night Divide Thy works no more, My ever -grateful heart, 0 Lord, Thy- mercy shall adore. HYMN 10 Now thank we all our God, With heart, and hands, and voices, Who wondrous things hath done, In whom His world rejoices; Who from our mother's arms Hath blessed us on our way With countless gifts of love, And still is ours to -day. 0 may this bounteous God Through all our life be near us, With ever joyful hearts And blessed peace to cheer us; And keep us in His Grace, And guide us when perplexed, And free us from all ills In this world and the next. All praise and thanks to God The Father now be given, The Son, and Him who reigns With them in highest heaven. The one eternal God, Whom earth and heaven adore; For thus it was, is now, And shall be evermore, 1 Cir y k A ��ti�o. iao �u0 �i o a� �g � {�?b ��o a�j r�,o � , �� pAviPs .� � �� .� .� 1 F,1 V �� x�j" V o� � . a.✓ ``� � ~ �'� r _ ,�� '
