1.
A Stranger in the world below,
I calmly sojourn here;
Nor can its happiness or woe
Provoke my hope or fear:
Its evils in a moment end,
Its joys as soon are past;
But O, the bliss to which I tend
Eternally shall last!
2. To that Jerusalem above,
With singing I repair;
While in the flesh, my hope and love,
My heart and soul, are there.
There my exalted Saviour stands,
My merciful High Priest;
And still extends his wounded hands,
To take me to his breast.
440 = 7, 61.
1.
Abba, Father, hear thy child,
Late in Jesus reconciled;
Hear, and all the graces shower,
All the joy, peace, and power;
All my Saviour asks above,
All the life and heaven of love.
2. Lord, I will not let thee go
Till the blessing thou bestow;
Hear my Advocate divine;
Lo! to his my suit I join;
Joined to his, it cannot fall;
Bless me; for I will prevail.
3. Heavenly Father, Life divine,
Change my nature into thine,
Move, and spread throughout my soul,
Actuate, and fill the whole;
Be it I not now
Living in the flesh, but thou.
4. Holy Ghost, no more delay;
Come, and in thy temple stay:
Now thine inward witness bear,
Strong, and permanent, and clear:
Spring of life, thyself impart;
Rise eternal in my heart.

1.
Ah, tell us no more
The
spirit and pow’r
Of
Jesus, our God,
Is
not to be found in this life-giving Blood!
2.
Did Jesus ordain
His
supper in vain,
And
furnish a feast
For
none but His earliest
servants to taste?
3.
Nay, but this is His will
(We
know it and feel),
That
we should partake
The
banquet for all He so freely did make.
4.
In rapturous bliss
He
bids us do this.
The
joy it imparts
Hath
witness’d His gracious design in our hearts.
5
‘Tis God we believe,
Who
cannot deceive.
The
witness of God
Is
present, and speaks in the mystical Blood.
6 Receiving
the bread,
On
Jesus we feed;
It
doth not appear.
II
is manner of working—but Jesus is here!
7 With bread from
above,
With
comfort and love
Our
spirit He fills,
And
all His unspeakable goodness reveals.
8 Oh, that all
men would haste
To
the spiritual feast,
At
Jesus' word,
"Do
this," and be fed with the love of our Lord!
9 True Light of
mankind,
Shine
into their mind,
And
clearly reveal
Thy
perfect and good and acceptable will.
10
Bring near the glad day
When
all shall obey
Thy
dying request,
And
eat of Thy supper, and lean on Thy breast.
11
To all men impart
One
way and one heart,
Thy
people be shown
All
righteous and spotless and perfect in One.
12
Then, then let us see
Thy
glory, and be
Caught
up in the air,
This
heavenly supper in heaven to share.

1.
All praise to Him
who dwells in bliss,
Who made both day and night,
Whose throne is darkness in th’
abyss
Of uncreated light.
2.
Each thought and deed
His piercing eyes
With strictest search survey;
The deepest shades no more
disguise
Than the full blaze of day.
3.
Whom Thou dost guard,
O King of Kings,
No evil shall molest;
Under the shadow of Thy wings
shall they securely rest.
4.
Thy angels shall
around their beds
Their constant stations keep;
Thy faith and truth shall shield
their heads,
For Thou dost never sleep.
5.
May we, with calm and sweet repose
And heavenly thoughts refreshed,
Our eyelids with the morn’s unclose,
And bless the Ever-Blessed.

Accepted
in the Beloved
1.
All praise to the Lamb!
accepted
I am,
Through
faith in the Saviour's adorable name:
In
him I confide, his blood is applied;
For
me he hath suffered, for me hath died.
2.
Not a cloud doth arise, to darken my skies,
Or
hide for a moment my Lord from mine eyes:
In
him I am blest, I lean on his breast,
And
lo! in his wounds I continue to rest.

The
final account
1.
And must I be to judgment brought,
And
answer in that day
For
every vain and idle thought,
And
every word I say?
2.
Yes, every secret of my heart
Shall
shortly be made known,
And
I receive my just desert
For
all that I have done.
3.
How careful, then, ought I to live,
With
what religious fear!
Who
such a strict account must give
For
my behavior here.
4.
Thou awful Judge of quick and dead,
The
watchful power bestow;
So
shall I to my ways take heed,
To
all I speak or do.
5.
If now thou standest at the door,
O
let me feel thee near;
And
make my peace with God, before
I
at thy bar appear.

Restore
my peace
1.
And wilt Thou yet be found,
And
may I still draw near?
Then
listen to the plaintive sound
Of
a poor sinner's prayer.
2.
Jesus, thine aid afford,
If
still the same thou art:
to
thee I look, to thee, my Lord,
I
lift my helpless heart.
3.
Thou seest my troubled breast,
The
sturgglings of my will,
The
foes that interrupt my rest,
The
agonies I feel.
4.
O my offended Lord,
Restore
my inward peace;
I
know thou canst; pronounce the word,
And
bid the tempest cease.
5.
I long to see thy face;
They
Spirit I implore--
The
living water of thy grace
That
I may thirst no more.
