2 But as for us, with humble fear
We will approach thy gate,

Though most unworthy to draw near,
Or in thy courts to wait.

3 Lead us in all thy righteous ways,
Nor suffer us to slide,

Point out the path before our face
O God be thou our guide.

4 Oh may we ne'er to evil yield
Depended from above,

And kept and covered with the shield,
Of thine almighty love.

144.

L.M.

1 "WE'VE no abiding city here,"
Sad truth were this to be our home,
But let this thought our spirit cheer,
We seek a city yet to come.

2 "We've no abiding city here,"

Then let us live as pilgrims do:
Let not the world our rest appear
But let us haste from all below.

3 "We've no abiding city here,"
We seek a city out of sight,
Zion its name, the Lord is there,
It shines with everlasting light.

4 Zion! Jehovah is her strength,
Secure she smiles at all her foes;
And weary travellers at length,
Within her sacred walls repose.

5 Oh blest abode of peace and love,
Where pilgrims freed from toil are blest
Had we the pinions of the dove,
We'd fly to thee and be at rest.

145.

P.M.

1 GREAT God! what do I see and hear?
The end of things created;

The Judge of mankind doth appear,
On clouds of glory seated.

The trumpet sounds; the graves restore
The dead which they contain'd before:
Prepare my soul to meet him.

146.

P.M

10 heavenly King! look down from above, And teach us to sing, thy mercy and love; So sweetly o'erflowing, so plenteous the store, Thou still art bestowing, and giving us more. 2 Our Father and Lord, Almighty art thou; Preserved by the word, we worship thee now, The bountiful giver, of all we enjoy, Our lives may we ever, in thy praises employ.

3 But Lord above all, thy kindness we praise, From sin and from thrall, which saves our

lost race,

Thy Son thou hast given, the world to redeem,

And bring us to heaven, whose trust is in him.

C.M.

147.

1 SALVATION! O the joyful sound!
What pleasure to our ears!

A sovereign balm for every wound,
A cordial for our fears.

2 Salvation! let the echo fly

The spacious world around;
While all the armies of the sky
Conspire to raise the sound.

3 Salvation! oh redeeming Lord,
To thee the praise belongs :
Salvation shall inspire our hearts,
And dwell upon our tongues.

CHORUS.

4 Glory, honour, praise and power,
Be unto the Lamb for ever;
Jesus Christ is our Redeemer,
Hallelujah! praise the Lord!

148.

1 MY hiding-place, my refuge tow'r,
And shield, art thou, O Lord!
I firmly anchor all my hopes
On thine unerring word.

C.M.

2 Engraved as in eternal brass,
The mighty promise shines;
the powers of darkness raze
Those everlasting lines.

Nor can

3 The sacred word of grace is strong,
As that which built the skies ;
The voice which rolls the stars along
Spake all the promises.

4 My hiding-place, my refuge tower,
And shield, art thou, O Lord!
I firmly anchor all my hopes
On thine unerring word.

149.

C.M.

1 OH God! where'er we turn our eyes,
Above us, or below;

The heavens, the earth, the sea, the skies,
Thy numerous glories show.

2 The rushing winds stand ready there
Thine orders to obey;

With sounding wings they sweep the air,
To make thy chariot way.

3 There like a trumpet, loud and strong,
Thy thunder shakes our coast;

While the red lightnings wave along,
The banners of thy host.

4 There the rough mountains of the deep,
Obey thy strong command;
Thy breath can raise the billows steep,
Ör sink them to the sand.

5 Eternal Wisdom! thee we praise,
Thee the creation sings;

With thy great name, rocks, hills, and seas,
And heaven's high palace rings,

151.

1 JESUS, refuge of the soul,
To thy sheltering cross we fly;
While the nearer waters roll-
While the tempest still is nigh;
Hide us,
0 our Saviour! hide,
Till the storm of life be past!
Safe into the haven guide,
O receive our souls at last!
