"JESUS ONLY."

Matt. xvii., 8.

I.

"Jesus only!" In the shadow
Of the cloud so chill and dim,
We are clinging, loving, trusting,
He with us, and we with Him
All unseen, though ever nigh,
"Jesus only "-all our cry.

II.

;

"Jesus only!" In the glory, When the shadows all are flown, Seeing Him in all His beauty, Satisfied with Him alone;

May we join His ransomed throng, "Jesus only "-all our song!

ASCENSION SONG.

"He ascended up on high."-Eph. iv., 8.

Golden harps are sounding,

Angel voices ring,

Pearly gates are opened

Opened for the King;
Christ, the King of Glory,
Jesus, King of Love,
Is gone up in triumph
To His throne above.

All his work is ended,
Joyfully we sing,
Jesus hath ascended!

Glory to our King !

He who came to save us,
He who bled and died,
Now is crowned with glory
At His Father's side,
Never more to suffer,
Never more to die ;
Jesus, King of Glory,

Is gone up on high.
All His work is ended,
Joyfully we sing,
Jesus hath ascended!
Glory to our King!

Praying for His children
In that blessed place,
Calling them to glory,

Sending them His grace; His bright home preparing, Faithful ones, for you;

Jesus ever liveth,

Ever loveth too.

All His work is ended,

Joyfully we sing,

Jesus hath ascended!

Glory to our King!

WHOSE I AM.

Jesus, Master, whose I am,
Purchased Thine alone to be,
By Thy blood, O spotless Lamb,
Shed so willingly for me;
Let my heart be all Thine own,
Let me live to Thee alone.

Other lords have long held sway ;
Now, Thy name alone to bear,
Thy dear voice alone obey,

Is my daily, hourly prayer.

Whom have I in heaven but Thee?
Nothing else my joy can be.

Jesus, Master! I am Thine;

Keep me faithful, keep me near;

Let Thy presence in me shine

All my homeward way to cheer.
Jesus! at Thy feet I fall,

Oh, be Thou my All-in-All!

CONSECRATION HYMN.

"Here we offer and present unto Thee, O Lord, ourselves, our souls, and bodies, to be a reasonable, holy, and living sacrifice unto Thee."

Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.

Take my moments and my days;
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

Take my hands, and let them move At the impulse of Thy love.

Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and "beautiful" for Thee.

Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King.

Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.

Take my silver and my gold ;
Not a mite would I withhold.

Take my intellect, and use

Every power as Thou shalt choose.

Take my will, and make it Thine; It shall be no longer mine.

Take my heart, it is Thine own ;
It shall be Thy royal throne.

Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure-store.

Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.

ANOTHER YEAR.

Another year is dawning!
Dear Master, let it be,
In working or in waiting,
Another year with Thee.

Another year of leaning
Upon Thy loving breast,
Of ever-deepening trustfulness,
Of quiet, happy rest.

Another year of mercies,
Of faithfulness and grace ;
Another year of gladness

In the shining of Thy face.

Another year of progress,

Another year of praise; Another year of proving Thy presence "all the days."

Another year of service,

Of witness for Thy love; Another year of training For holier work above.

Another year is dawning!
Dear Master, let it be,
On earth, or else in heaven,

Another year for Thee!
