REV. ROBERT Lowry.

572 One more day's work for Jesus.

1 ONE more day's work for Jesus,
One less of life for me!

But heaven is nearer,
And Christ is dearer

Than yesterday, to me;
His love and light

Fill all my soul to-night.

One more day's work for Jesus, etc.
2 One more day's work for Jesus!
How sweet the work has been,
To tell the story,

To show the glory,

Where Christ's flock enter in!
How it did shine

In this poor heart of mine!

3 One more day's work for Jesus!

O yes, a weary day;

But heaven shines clearer
And rest comes nearer,
At each step of the way;
And Christ in all,
Before his face I fall.

4 O blessed work for Jesus!
O rest at Jesus' feet!.

There toil seems pleasure, My wants are treasure, And pain for him is sweet. Lord, if I may,

I'll serve another day!

[C. P. M. Tune, Meribah. Page 358.,. 573 For the head of a family.

1 I AND my house will serve the Lord, But first, obedient to his word

I must myself appear;

By actions, words, and tempers, show That I my heavenly Master know,

And serve with heart sincere.

2 I must the fair example set;
From those that on my pleasure wait
The stumbling-block remove;
Their duty by my life explain,
And still in all my works maintain
The dignity of love.

3 Easy to be entreated, mild,
Quickly appeased and reconciled,
A follower of my God,
A saint indeed, I long to be,
And lead my faithful family
In the celestial road.

4 Lord, if thou didst the wish infuse, A vessel fitted for thy use

Into thy hands receive:

Work in me both to will and do; And show them how believers true, And real Christians, live.

For watchfulness.

1 A CHARGE to keep I have,
A God to glorify;

A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.
To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill,-

O may it all my powers engage,
To do my Master's will.

2 Arm me with jealous care,

As in thy sight to live;

And O, thy servant, Lord, prepare, 4 strict account to give.

Help me to watch and pray,
And on thyself rely,
Assured, if I my trust betray,
I shall forever die.

CHARLES WESLEY.

575 Sow beside all waters.

1 Sow in the morn thy seed;

At eve hold not thy hand;

To doubt and fear give thou no heed,
Broadcast it o'er the land.

2 Thou know'st not which shall thrive,
The late or early sown;
Grace keeps the precious germ alive,
When and wherever strown:

3 And duly shall appear,

In verdure, beauty, strength,

The tender blade, the stalk, the ear,
And the full corn at length.

4 Thou canst not toil in vain:
Cold, heat, and moist, and dry,
Shall foster and mature the grain
For garners in the sky.

5 Then, when the glorious end,
The day of God, shall come,

The angel reapers shall descend,
And heaven shout, "Harvest home!"

576

JAMES MONTGOMERY,

Make haste to live.

1 MAKE haste, O man, to live, For thou so soon must die;

Time hurries past thee like the breeze: How swift its moments fly!

2 Make haste, O man, to do
Whatever must be done;

Thou hast no time to lose in sloth,
Thy day will soon be gone.

3 Up, then, with speed, and work;
Fling ease and self away;
This is no time for thee to sleep,
Up, watch, and work, and pray!
4 Make haste, O man, to live,
Thy time is almost o'er;

O sleep not, dream not, but arise,
The Judge is at the door.

Doxology.

To God, the Father, Son, And Spirit, One in Three, Be glory, as it was, is now, And shall forever be.

577 Victory on the Lord's side.

1 ARISE, ye saints, arise!

The Lord our Leader is;

The foe before his banner flies,
And victory is his.

2 We follow thee, our Guide,

Our Saviour, and our King;

We follow thee, through grace supplied From heaven's eternal spring.

3 We soon shall see the day

When all our toils shall cease;

When we shall cast our arms away,
And dwell in endless peace.

4 This hope supports us here;
It makes our burdens light;

'Twill serve our drooping hearts to cheer,
Till faith shall end in sight:
5 Till, of the prize possessed,
We hear of war no more;

And ever with our Leader rest,
On yonder peaceful shore.

1 LET us keep steadfast guard With lighted hearts all night, That when Christ comes, we stand pre pared,

And meet him with delight.

2 At midnight's season chill

Lay Paul and Silas bound,— Bound, and in prison sang they still, And singing, freedom found.

3 Our prison is this earth,

And yet we sing to thee:

Break sin's strong fetters, lead us forth, Set us, believing, free!

4 Meet for thy realm in heaven,
Make us, O holy King!

That through the ages it be given
To us thy praise to sing.

BREVIARY.

Perseverance.

1 My soul, be on thy guard;
Ten thousand foes arise;

The hosts of sin are pressing hard
To draw thee from the skies.

2 O watch, and fight, and pray;
The battle ne'er give o'er;
Renew it boldly every day,
And help divine implore.

3 Ne'er think the victory won,
Nor lay thine armor down:

The work of faith will not be done,
Till thou obtain the crown.

4 Fight on, my soul, till death
Shall bring thee to thy God;
He'll take thee, at thy parting breath,
To his divine abode.

GEORGE HEATH.

582 The standard of the cross.
1 HARK, how the watchmen cry!
Attend the trumpet's sound;
Stand to your arms, the foe is nigh,
The powers of hell surround.
Who bow to Christ's command,

Your arms and hearts prepare;
The day of battle is at hand-
Go forth to glorious war.

2 See on the mountain-top
The standard of your God;
In Jesus' name I lift it up,

All stained with hallowed blood.

His standard-bearer, I

To all the nations call:

Let all to Jesus' cross draw nigh; He bore the cross for all.

2 Through much distress and pain,' Through many a conflict here, Through blood, ye must the entrance gain, Yet, O disdain to fear:

"Courage!" your Captain cries,

Who all your toil foreknew; "Toil ye shall have, yet all despise; I have o'ercome for you."

3 The world cannot withstand

Its ancient Conqueror;

The world must sink beneath the hand Which arms us for the war:

This is the victory,

Before our faith they fall;

Jesus hath died for you and me;
Believe, and conquer all.

584 Weigh not thy life.
1 MY soul, weigh not thy life
Against thy heavenly crown;
Nor suffer Satan's deadliest strife
To beat thy courage down.

2 With prayer and crying strong,
Hold on the fearful fight,
And let the breaking day prolong
The wrestling of the night.

3 The battle soon will yield,
If thou thy part fulfill;

For strong as is the hostile shield, Thy sword is stronger still.

4 Thine armor is divine,

Thy feet with victory shod;

And on thy head shall quickly shine The diadem of God.

4 The apostles of my Lord,

To whom it first was given, They could not speak a greater word, Nor all the saints in heaven.

CHARLES WESLEY.

586 The mind that was in Christ.

1 EQUIP me for the war,

And teach my hands to fight; My simple, upright heart prepare, And guide my words aright.

2 Control my every thought, My whole of sin remove;

Let all my works in thee be wrought,
Let all be wrought in love.

3 0 arm me with the mind,
Meek Lamb, that was in thee;
And let my knowing zeal be joined
With perfect charity.

4 With calm and tempered zeal
Let me enforce thy call;
And vindicate thy gracious will,
Which offers life to all.

5 0 may I love like thee;
In all thy footsteps tread;
Thou hatest all iniquity,

But nothing thou hast made.

6 O may I learn the art,

With meekness to reprove;
To hate the sin with all my heart,
But still the sinner love.

CHARLES WESLEY.
