3 With these to Pisgah's top I fly, 4 The Lord of all the vast domain The length and breadth of all the plain, I stand upon a mountain's edge, 6 Though much exalted in the Lord, 348. P.M.-The Child. 1 QUIET, Lord, my froward heart, On a care beyond his own; Let me thus with thee abide, 4 Thus preserv'd from Satan's wiles, Safe from dangers, free from fears, May I live upon thy smiles, Till the promis'd hour appears, When the sons of God shall prove All their Father's boundless love. 349. P.M.-For Humility and Simplicity of Soul. Isa. xxviii. 9. 1 LORD, that I may learn of thee, Wean my soul, and keep it low, 350. S.M.-The Meek beautified with Salvation. Ps. cxlix. 4. 1 YE humble souls rejoice, 2 And cheerful triumphs sing; Wake all your harmony of voice, That meek and lowly Lord, Whom here your souls have known, Pledges the honour of his word, To' avow you for his own. 3 He brings salvation near, For which his blood was paid; 4 Salvation, Lord, is thine, And all thy saints confess, The royal robes, in which they shine, Were wrought by sovereign grace. 351. C.M." The Joy of the Lord is your strength.” Neh. viii. 10. I JOY is a fruit that will not grow In nature's barren soil; All we can boast, till Christ we know, 2 But where the Lord has planted grace, There fruits of heavenly joy and peace 4 To take a glimpse within the veil, 5 These are the joys which satisfy, Which make the spirit mount on high, 6 No more, believers, mourn your lot; 352. L.M.-Rejoicing in God. Jer. ix. 23, 24. 1 THE righteous Lord, supremely great, O'er all the earth his power extends; 2 Yet justice still with power presides, 3 No more, ye wise, your wisdom boast: 4 Glory, my soul, in this alone, That God, thy God, to thee is known, 5 My wisdom, wealth, and power I find On him I fix my roving eyes, 6 All else, which I may treasure call, 353. C.M.-Delight in God. 1 O LORD! I would delight in thee, 2 When all created streams are dried, And glory in thy name! 3 Why should the soul a drop bemoan A fountain which will ever run 4 No good in creatures can be found, I must have all things, and abound, 5 O Lord! I cast my care on thee; 354. C.M.-The impoverished Saint rejoicing in God. Hab. iii. 17, 18. 2 Fig-trees and olive-plants may fail, 3 God is the treasure of his soul, 4 Lord! may we feel thy cheering beams, We will not mourn the perish'd streams, 355. L.M.-Experimental Knowledge communicated. 1 John i. 1-3. 1 JESUS! mine Advocate above, Let me not hear of thee alone, But make the wonders of thy love By deep experience sweetly known. 2 On thee my soul would fix its eye; My lips would taste thy heavenly grace; Then would I raise thine honours high, And teach a thousand tongues thy praise. |
