503	A. E. BARNES   11.10.11.10. R264 Eternal Love
1	We need Thee, Lord; thus we have come together; Dark is the night in all the world around; Thy love supreme has called and drawn us hither, We in the circle of Thine own are found.
2	Now, whilst we wait for Thee to come, Lord Jesus, Assembled here, remembering Thee we show Thy death, the bread and cup to all the witness Of love so great, that sets our hearts aglow.
3	We ponder, Lord, that stoop from heav'nly glory, Mark all the wondrous grace that brought Thee low; Steadfast thy face, Thou wentest on to Calv'ry, E'en into death, that we Thy love might know.
4	We praise Thee, Lord! o'er death and grave triumphant, Free art Thou now from every hostile foe; Void is the tomb, Thyself no longer straitened; Free now to us Thy love's great thoughts to show.

504	J. REVELL   8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7. Tune to come
1	Hark, the solemn strains uprising! Sweetly swells the note of praise, From the chamber where the Saviour Leads His own the voice to raise. On the night of His rejection All is darkness, deep'ning gloom, As the Son of man goes onward To the cross, to death and tomb.
2	Hark the gentle strains uprising; Softly swells the note of praise; All His anguish we remember As to Him the voice we raise. All our guilt was laid upon Him On God's own beloved Son; All the waves and billows pouring O'er His head, He cried, 'Tis done!
3	Hark, the gladsome song uprising; Louder swells the note of praise; Lord we hail Thee as the Victor While to Thee the voice we raise. Thou whom men cast out, rejected, Sittest crowned upon God's throne; Yea, Amen! Thou, Lord, art worthy! This we gladly, fully own.
4	Hark, the mighty song uprising! Loudly swells the note of praise! Heav'n and earth shall soon adore Thee, All to Thee their voices raise. Thou hast loved us, Thou hast washed us In Thy blood from every stain; Raise we then the joyful chorus Worthy is the Lamb once slain!

505	C. DEAYTON   C.M. Tune to come
1	With loyal hearts, O Lord, to Thee, We'd serve Thine interests here, Grant that we each may faithful be Until Thou shalt appear.
2	And by the Spirit from above, Now in Thy service free, Here in the diligence of love, Our hands would active be.
3	Now with the things that are of Thee We would be occupied; With true assembly feelings see That Thou art glorified.
4	Do Thou our hearts, Lord Jesus, hold, And with us have Thy way, Our wills subdued, our minds controlled, Thy will obtain today.

506	E. L. BEVIR   C.M. 67 Sheffield   St. Anne
1	We seek the things that are above, Beyond this earth and sky; Whence, Lord, Thou lookest down in love From God's right hand on high.
2	In yon refulgent realms of light Our part, our life we see; Thou art the Father's own delight, And we are graced in Thee.
3	Our hidden life in God art Thou, But soon Thou shalt appear; In radiant bliss shall every brow Thy glorious image bear.

507	J. GAMBOLD   8.8.6.8.8.6. 408 Pembroke
1	From various cares our hearts retire, Though deep and boundless their desire, We've now to please but One; Him, before whom each knee shall bow, With Him is all our business now, And those that are His own.
2	With these our happy lot is cast, Thro' the world's deserts rude and waste Or through its gardens fair; Whether the storms of trouble sweep, Or all in dead supineness sleep, T'advance be all our care.
3	We would our feebleness recline On that eternal love of Thine, And human thoughts forget; Child-like attend what Thou wilt say, Go forth and serve Thee while 'tis day, Nor leave our sweet retreat.

508	MRS. M. CARLSSON-CARREN 10.10.10.10. From Swedish   Tune to come
1	“Not of the world”–blest words of Christ the Lord To those who here attended on His word! They call to us, amid our pilgrim ways, And, draw us, Father, to Thy world of praise.
2	Out of the world to Thine own blest abode We follow our Forerunner to His God. As, bought by blood, we do not here belong– “Not of the world” becomes our joyful song.
3	“Not of the world”–O words of deep delight! What rest and strength their heav'nly tones incite! Strangers below and citizens above, May we be worthy, Father, of such love!
4	O teach us all, who have this glorious lot, To seek for nothing where our Lord is not. Be this our song, our glory and our plea: “Not of the world”–our springs are all in Thee.

509	G. H. BROWN   11.10.11.10 Tune to come
1	Come! for the Father speaks to thee from heaven, In Jesus' death His heart of love was told; Since He His only Son for thee has given, His bounteous hand no blessing would withhold.
2	Come! for the Saviour speaks, in grace appealing, He waits to pardon, and to cleanse thy soul; His precious blood alone can give thee healing, Can wash thee from thy sins and make thee whole.
3	Come! for the Spirit speaks of Christ in glory; In tender patience still He waits on thee. Hark to His voice, and heed the wondrous story Of full salvation, measureless and free.
4	Come now in faith, by God Himself invited! He longs thy heart with heav'nly joys to fill; For He, though oft His goodness thou hast slighted, In grace and love unwearied seeks thee still.
5	To Jesus come, and as thy Saviour own Him, To Him confessing all thy guilt and woe; As Lord and Master in thy heart enthrone Him, Life everlasting, peace and joy to know.

510	I. WATTS   C.M. Tune to come
1	Jesus, how glorious is Thy grace! When in Thy Name we trust, Our faith receives a righteousness That makes the sinner just.
2	Vain are the hopes the sons of men Upon their works have built; Their hearts by nature are unclean, Their actions full of guilt.
3	Silent let Jew and Gentile stand, Without one vaunting word; And, humbled low, confess their guilt Before the righteous Lord.
4	No hope can on the law be built Of justifying grace; The law that shows the sinner's guilt Condemns him to his face.
5	With Christ the Lord we died to sin; With Him to life we rise – To life which, now begun on earth, Is perfect in the skies.

2	No mind of man conceived it, The Name in manhood Thine: A Name Thou dost inherit In ways of love divine. More excellent than angel, Thou art The Son, O Lord. We hail Thee, O Emmanuel! The blest incarnate Word.
3	Thy throne, O God, for ever, Thy sceptre uprightness, The earth, O blest Creator, And heavens Thy power express. In time they all shall perish, But Thou continuest still; Thy fame no years diminish, Thou who dost all things fill!

1	Nought is detaining us, Lord in earth's sphere; Thy love constraining us, We have drawn near. Thou hast this love expressed, Now in Thy beauty dressed We can be found at rest Joyfully here.
2	Lord, Thy desire we know As Spirit-taught; That love which Thou dost show Finds what it sought! Our heart Thyself enthrones; Hark to the heav'nly tones! We, of Thy flesh and bones– O what a thought!
3	Lord, in this vessel chaste Incense is found; All that delights Thy taste Doth here abound. Thou, Lord, the Bridegroom art! Now from the loving heart Of Thy blest counterpart Praises resound.

1	How ready e'en now is our God to impart Rich blessings, unmeasured, conceived in His heart! For Christ has once suffered for sins to atone, His shed blood upholding the claims of God's throne.
2	Glad tidings of pardon and peace now are heard, As freely proclaimèd by God in His word. The way of repentance and faith now is shown That riches in glory in Christ may be known.
3	And we, through the gift of the Spirit, may know The secret of power and joy here below. Thus freed from the world and its claims we can raise Our satisfied hearts to outpour in His praise.

515	R. H. GRACE   8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7. Tune to come
1	Who will hearken to the story Of God's wondrous love and grace? Told out now in all its fulness To the sons of Adam's race. Whosoever – glorious message From the throne of God above – Trusts in Him who died to save him, Proves the sweetness of God's love.
2	Who will hearken to the Saviour As in grace He calls to-day? Who accept God's free forgiveness, Own Christ Lord without delay? Who will yield in full obedience To God's Son enthroned on high? He would give the Holy Spirit, Fill the heart with peace and joy.
3	Who will hearken to the Spirit, From iniquity depart, Be a vessel for the Master, Sanctified and pure in heart? Overcoming here 'midst evil, Cleaving fast to what is true, Answer to Christ's present longing, Yield to Him the homage due?

516	J. C. TOZER   8.7.8.7. Tune to come
1	Now that wondrous living story Would our lips delight to tell: How the Lord of life and glory Came in love with men to dwell.

3	As the Lamb of God He suffered For the sins He knew so well; On the cross Himself He offered, That thou mightest with Him dwell.
4	Come to Him! His heart so tender, And His grace would thee compel; Yield to Him in full surrender, And with Him forever dwell!
5	Living water He would give thee; Satisfied, thy praise shall swell To the God who gives so freely, Who would have thee with Him dwell.
6	Ask then for the Spirit Holy– He who is the springing well, Power for life and joy within thee– He would come with thee to dwell.

2	Spirit of truth, sustain us now, Grant us Thy mind, our thoughts control; The One who lifts a standard, Thou, When evil like a flood doth roll.
3	Lord, we would seek to do Thee good, With wifely feelings here below; Stand for Thee where Thou once hast stood, E'en here on earth Thy features show.
4	Lord, Thou dost in Thy church confide, That Thou shalt have no lack of spoil; Thyself our strength, Thy word our guide, We know 'tis not in vain our toil.
5	Firm in Thy work may we abide, Faithful to Thee may we remain, Till Thou shalt take us to Thy side, And with Thy church come forth to reign.

3	Thy will – by which we're sanctified, made meet, Through the great sacrifice of Christ our Lord; And sealed by Him – the glorious Paraclete – By whom, through Christ, Thou'rt worshipped and adored.

3	As we thus would answer to Thee, Drawn by Thy most precious love, We shall find our portion with Thee In the heav'nly realms above.

549	MRS. H. A. BERG (Doris Markham)   L.M. Tune to come
1	Lord, though Thy saints be laid to rest, In Thee they have a portion blest; Thy precious blood the purchase price To be with Thee in paradise.
2	“Asleep through Jesus” – blessèd state! What power from Thee can separate? Not death nor life, not land nor sea, Can come between Thy saints and Thee.
3	“With Christ” – how better far the lot – Where sin and sorrow enter not! Our hearts anticipate the day When every tear is wiped away;
4	When those asleep shall wakened be To put on immortality, And we with them shall rise to share That rapturous meeting in the air!
