2 With heav'nly weapons I have fought,
And conquer'd in the LORD;
Finish'd my course, and kept the faith,
And wait the sure reward.

3 There is laid up in heav'n for me,
A crown which cannot fade
e;

The righteous Judge, at that great day,
Will place it on my head!

4 Nor does the King of grace decree
This prize for me alone;

But all who love and long to see
Th' appearing of his Son.

5 JESUS the LORD shall guard me safe
From every ill design;
And to his heav'nly kingdom keep
This feeble soul of mine.

6 GOD is my everlasting aid,
And hell shall rage in vain:
To him be highest glory paid,
And endless praise!-Amen.

532. The Believer Journeying to Heaven. · For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.-HEB. xi. 14.

FROM Egypt lately come,

Where death and darkness reign,
We seek our new, our better home,
Where we our rest shall gain.

Hallelujah!

We are on our way to GOD.

2 To Canaan's sacred bound
We haste with songs of joy;
Where peace and liberty are found,
And sweets that never cloy.

Hallelujah! &c. &c. &c.

3 There sin and sorrow cease,
And ev'ry conflict's o'er:

There we shall dwell in endless
And never hunger more.
Hallelujah, &c. &c. &c.

4 There, in celestial strains,
Enraptur'd myriads sing;

There love in ev'ry bosom reigns,
For God himself is King.
Hallelujah, &c. &c. &c,

5 We soon shall join the throng,
Their pleasures we shall share
And sing the everlasting song,
With all the ransom'd there.
Hallelujah, &c. &c. &c.

It cheers the pilgrim's breast:
We're journeying thro' the wilderness,
But soon shall gain our rest.

Hallelujah, &c. &c. &c.]

533. The Believer longing for Heaven.

C.M.

I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan.-DEUT. iii. 25.

ON Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye

To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.

2 All o'er those wide-extended plains
Shines one eternal day;

The Sun of Righteousness there reigns,
And scatters night away.

3 No chilling winds, or pois'nous breath,
Can reach that blissful shore:
Sickness and sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and fear'd no more.

4 When shall I reach that happy place,
And be for ever blest?
When shall I see my Father's face,
And in his bosom rest?

5 Fill'd with delight, my raptur'd soul Would here no longer stay:

Tho' Jordan's waves around me roll,
Fearless I'd launch away,

WHEN we pass thro' yonder river: When we reach the further shore: There's an end of war for everd; 916 se We shall see our foes no more. All our conflicts then shall cease, Follow'd by eternal peace, C 2 After warfare, rest is pleasant;

O how sweet the prospect is!!
Though we toil and strive at present,
Let us not repine at this:

Toil and pain, and conflict past,!!
All endear repose at last.

When we touch the sacred shore:
Blessed thought! no hostile legions,
Can alarm or trouble more meint i
Far beyond the reach of foes,ani d
We shall dwell in sweet repose.]

535 The Redeemed in Glory. 87-7. These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the lamb, &c.-REV. vii. 14.

SEE how many thousands yonder,
On the SAVIOUR's glory gaze:
Fill'd with love, and joy, and wonder
While they celebrate his praise.
JESUS is their glorious theme:
Ev'ry eye is fix'd on him.

2 These are they whose foul offences
Have been wash'd away with blood:
Blood that by its virtue cleanses,
Flowing from the Lamb of GOD:
Therefore do they now appear,
Praising and rejoicing there.

3 They were brought through tribulation,
In their way to yonder place:
Now with joy and exultation,

They behold the SAVIOUR'S face:
They are sav'd from foes and fears s;
Jesus wipes away their tears.

4 'Tis the Lamb himself that feeds them,
Theirs is heav'n's eternal store:
He to living fountains leads them:
They shall thirst again no more:
Dwelling in the SAVIOUR's light,
They shall serve hin day and night.
