Beneath its glowing arch,
Along the hallowed ground,
I see cherubic armies march,
A camp of fire around.
I hear at morn and even,
At noon and midnight hour, The choral harmonies of heaven Earth's Babel tongues o'erpower.
Then, then I feel that he,
(Remembered or forgot,)
The LORD, is never far from me,
Though I perceive him not.
In darkness as in light,
Hidden alike from view,
I sleep, I wake, as in his sight,
Who looks all nature through.
All that I am, have been,
All that I yet may be,
He sees at once, as he hath seen,
And shall for ever see.
How can I n.vet his eyes?
Mine on the cross I cast
And own my life a Saviour's prize,
Mercy from first to last.
"For ever with the Lord !"
-Father, if 'tis thy will,
The promise of that faithful word,
Even here to me fulfil.
Be thou at my right hand,
Then can I never fail;
Uphold thou me, and I shall stand,
Fight, and I must prevail.
So when my latest breath
Shall rend the veil in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word, And oft repeat before the throne, "For ever with the Lord!"
Then, though the soul enjoy Communion high and sweet, While worms this body must destroy, Both shall in glory meet.
The trump of final doom
Will speak the selfsame word,
And Heaven's voice thunder through the tomb,
"For ever with the LORD!"
The tomb shall echo deep
That death-awakening sound;
The saints shall hear it in their sleep,
And answer from the ground.
Then, upward as they fly,
That resurrection-word,
Shall be their shout of victory,
"For ever with the LORD !"
That resurrection-word,
That shout of victory,
Once more," For ever with the Lord " Amen; so let it be !
A CHARGE to keep I have..
A debtor to mercy alone
A fountain of life and of grace..
Ah, dearest Lord, I cannot pray..
Alas what hourly dangers rise...
All hail the power of Jesus' name...
All people that on earth do dwell..
All praise to the Lamb, accepted I am...........C. Wesley. 845
Am I an Israelite indeed?..
Am I a soldier of the cross?..
And am I only born to die?..
And let this feeble body fail..
And may I hope that when no more..
Appointed by thee, we meet in thy name.
Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat..
Arise, my soul, arise.....
Arise, my soul, to Pisgah's height.
As God leads me will I go....
Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep...
As birds their infant brood protect..
As those that watch for the day..
As when the weary traveller gains..
At anchor laid, remote from home.
At every motion of our breath.....
Awake and sing the song..
Awake my soul, stretch every nerve.....
Awake my soul to joyful lays
Awake, ye saints, awake..
Away my unbelieving fear.

Behold the mountain of the Lord..
Be still my heart, these anxious cares..
Behold the Saviour at thy door.
Be still my soul, the Lord is on thy side..
Breast the wave, Christian
Brethren, while we sojourn here....
But that thou art my wisdom, Lord
By whom was David taught?..
CAN sinners hope for heaven?
Cast thy burden on the Lord.......
Christ, of all my hopes the ground..
Christ the Lord in death-bonds lay.
Christ, whose glory fills the skies..
Come, children! on; this way........
Como forth! come on, with solemn song
Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly dove..
Come, Holy Spirit, come, Let thy..
Come, Holy Spirit, come, With..
Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly dove....
Come, humble sinner, in whose breast
Come let us anew our journey pursue, Roll..
Come let us anew our journey pursue, With
Come let us join our friends above,..
Come, my soul, thy suit prepare..
Come, O thou universal Good
Come, sinner, to the gospel feast.
Come thou Fount of every blessing..
Cometh sunshine after rain ...
Come to Calvary's holy mountain..
Come to the morning prayer..
Come we who love the Lord....
Come ye sinners, poor and wretched...
Could the creatures help or ease us
Courage, my soul! behold the prize...
DARK and thorny is the desert...
Dear Lord, though bitter is the cup.
Deathless principle, arise..
Depth of mercy! can there be.
Dees the gospel word proclaim
