5 I would not be a stranger still Where I for ever hope to dwell 560. Christ's Intercession for his people, typified by Aaron's bearing the names of the children of Israel on his breast plate. C.M. And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breast plate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the LORD continually.-EXOD. xxviii. 29. NOW let our cheerful eyes survey 2 Tho' raised to a superior throne, And high o'er all the shining train, 3 The names of all his saints he bearsDeep graven on his heart; Nor shall the meanest Christian say 4 Those characters shall fair abide When gems, and monuments, and crowns Are moulder'd down to dust. 5 So, gracious Saviour, on my breast 561. Christ ascending and reigning. C.M. God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of 2 Jesus, our God, ascends on high! 3 While angels shout and praise their King, Let mortals learn their strains : 4 Rehearse his praise with awe profound; 5 In Israel stood his ancient throne; But now he calls the world his own, 562. Desiring Holiness. C.M. PSA. cxix. 29, 36, 133, 176, 35.

Truly our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son OUR heav'nly Father calls, 2 God pities all our griefs; 3 How large his bounties are! 4 Jesus, our living head, We bless thy faithful care; 5 Here fix, my roving heart! 564. The High Way to Zion. C.M. And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called the way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it-the way-faring men, though fools, shall not err therein. No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs, and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.ISAI. XXXV. 8, 10. SING, ye redeemed of the Lord, 2 See the fair way his hand hath rais'd, 3 No rav'ning lion shall destroy, 4 A hand divine shall lead you on 5 There garlands of immortal joy 6 March on in your Redeemer's strength, Pursue his footsteps still; And let the prospect cheer your eyes, |
