I LOVE TO SING THE STORY.

Rev. S. ALMAN.

227 "My tongue shall sing aloud."

2 I love to sing the story, 'Tis such a joyful strain; It tells me of my Saviour, All glory to his name. It helps to keep me faithful, To overcome the wrong; I love to sing the story 'Tis such a cheerful song. CHO.-I love to sing the story, &c.

229 The spiritual warfare.
2 Now the fight of faith begin,
Be no more the slaves of sin,
Strive the victor's palm to win,
Trusting in the Lord:
Gird ye on the armor bright,
Warriors of the King of light,
Never yield, nor lose by flight
Your divine reward.

3 Jesus conquered when he fell,
Met and vanquished earth and hell;
Now he leads you on to swell

The triumphs of his cross.

Though all earth and hell appear, Who will doubt, or who can fear? God, our strength and shield, is near; We cannot lose our cause.

4 Onward, then, ye hosts of God!
Jesus points the victor's rod;
Follow where your Leader trod;

You soon shall see his face.
Soon, your enemies all slain,
Crowns of glory you shall gain,
Soon you'll join that glorious train
Who shout their Saviour's praise.

231 Fight the good fight.
1 SOUND the battle-cry!
See! the foe is nigh;
Raise the standard high

For the Lord;
Gird your armor on,
Stand firm every one;
Rest your cause upon

His holy word. CHO.
2 Strong to meet the foe,
Marching on we go,
While our cause we know,
Must prevail;

KEEP TO THE RIGHT.

Shield and banner bright
Gleaming in the light;
Battling for the right

We ne'er can fail. CHO. 3 Oh! thou God of all, Hear us when we call, Help us one and all

By thy grace;
When the battle's done,
And the vict'ry won,
May we wear the crown
Before thy face. CHO.
