 say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no 
 resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen : And if Christ be not risen, then is pur 
 preaching vain, and yoiu- faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of 
 God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, 
 if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is Christ not raised : And 
 if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain ; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also whith 
 are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we 
 are of all men most miserable.

 Psalm j. 
 
 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly ,~ 
 
 Nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful 
 
 But his delight is in the law of the Lord , 
 
 And in his law doth he meditate day and night. 
 
 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, 
 
 That bringeth forth his fruit in his season ; 
 
 His leaf also shall not wither; 
 
 And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 
 
 The ungodly are not so : 
 
 But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 
 
 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, 
 
 Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 
 
 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous : 
 
 But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

 Sky-ward and sea-ward, high and wide. 
 The sun shall light its shining folds, 
 The Cross, on which the Saviour died. 
 
 2 Uplift the banner ! Angels bend 
 
 In anxious silence o'er the sign. 
 And vainly seek to comprehend 
 The wonder of the Love Divine. 
 
 3 Uplift the banner ! Heathen lands 
 
 Shall see from far the glorious sight. 
 And nations, gathering at the call, 
 Their spirits kindle in its light. 
 
 4 Uplift the banner ! Let it float , 
 
 Sky-ward and sea-ward, high and wide; 
 Or.r nlory only in the Cross, 
 Our only hope, the Crucified.

 We conquer only in that sign.

 Hast bought me with thy blood, 
 
 Jesus, my Lord ! 
 Oh ! how great is thy love, 
 AH other loves above, 
 Love that I daily prove, 
 
 Jesus, my Lord ! 
 
 When unto thee I flee. 
 Thou wilt my refuge ie-, 
 
 Jesus, my Lord ! 
 What need I now to fear? 
 What earthly grief or care. 
 Since thou art ever near? 
 
 Jesus, my Lord I 
 
 Soon thou wilt comeagain ! 
 I shall "be liappy then, 
 
 Jesus, my Lord ! 
 Then thine own face I'll see. 
 Then I shall like thee be, 
 Then evermore with thee,

 Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove 1

 In these cold hearts of ours. 
 
 Ye chosen seed of Israel's race. 
 Ye ransomed from the fall ! 
 
 Hail him, who saves you by his grace. 
 And crown him — Lord of all.^ 
 
 Look — how we grovel here below, 
 Fond of these triflirg toys ! 
 
 Our souls can neither fly nor go 
 To reach eternal joys. 
 
 Sinners I whose love can ne'er forget 
 The wormwood and the gall, 
 
 Go, spread your trophies at his feet, 
 And crown him — Lord of all. 
 
 Let every kindred, every tribe. 
 
 On this terrestrial ball, 
 To him all majesty ascribe, 
 
 And crown him — Lord of all. 
 
 Oh, that with yonder sacred throng. 
 We at his feet may fall ; 
 
 We'll join the everlasting song 
 Aiki crown him — Lord of all. 
 
 In vain we tune our formal songs. 
 
 In vain we strive to rise ; 
 Hosannas languish on bur tongues. 
 
 And our devotion dies. 
 
 Dear Lord ! and shall we ever live. 
 
 At this poor dying rate, 
 Our love so faini, so cold to thee. 
 
 And thine to us so great? 
 
 Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove I 
 With all thy quickening powers ; 
 
 Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love. 
 And that shall kindle ours.

 Once In Royal David's City* 
 
 Onre in royal David's city 
 
 Stood a lowly cattle shed. 
 Where a mother laid her Baby 
 
 In a manger for His bed ; 
 Mary was that mother mild, 
 Jesus Christ her little Child. 
 
 He came down to earth from heaves. 
 Who is God and Lord of all, 
 
 And His shelter was a stable. 
 And His cradle was a stall ; 
 
 With the poor, and mean, and lowly. 
 
 Lived on earth our Saviour Holy. 
 
 And, thro' all His wondrous Childhood, 
 He would honor, ajid obey. 
 
 Love, and watch the lowly maiden 
 In whose gentle arms He lay ; 
 
 Christian children all must be 
 
 Mild, obedient, good as He, 
 
 For he is our childhood's Pattern, 
 Day by day like us He grew. 
 
 He was little, weak and helpless, 
 
 Tears and smiles like us He knew : 
 
 And He feeleth for our sadness. 
 
 And He shareth in our gladness. 
 
 And our eyes at iast shall see Him, 
 Through his own redeeming love, 
 
 For that Child so dear and gentle 
 Is our Lord in Heaven above ; 
 
 And He leads his children on 
 
 To the place where He is gone. 
 
 Not in that.poor lowly stable, 
 With the oxen standing by. 
 
 We shall see Him ; but in Heaven, 
 Set at God's Right Hand on high ; 
 
 When I'ke stars His children crowned 
 
 All in white shall wait arou'.d. — Amen^

 Saviour, listen while I pray. 
 Asking Thcc to watch and keep. 
 And to send me quiet sleep. 
 
 " Good-will to men," the ble«ed strain

 And all who will may feci the thrill

 "The First Nowfcll the Angel did say, 
 Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay ; 
 Ih fields where they lay keeping th^ir sheep. 
 On a cold winter's night that was so deep. 
 
 Now my evening praise I give. 
 Thou didst die that I might live ; 
 All my blessings come from Thee, 
 O how good Thou art to me. 
 
 Thou my best and kindest Friend, 
 Thou wilt love me to the end; 
 Let me love Thee, more and moce. 
 Always better than before.

 Shining in the East, beyond them far, 
 
 And to the eartn it gave great light, 
 
 And so it continued both day and night — Cho. 
 
 And by the light of that same Star, 
 
 Three Wiseman came from country far; ' 
 
 To &feek for a King was their intent. 
 
 And to follow the Star wherever it went. — Cho. 
 
 This Star drew nigh to the northwest, 
 O'er Bethlehem it took its rest. 
 And there it did both stop and stay, 
 Right over the place where Jesus lay.— Cho. 
 
 Then entered in those Wisemen three. 
 
 Fell reverently upon their knee, 
 
 And offered there, in His Presen e. 
 
 Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. — Cho. ^

 Onward ever, each new one 
 
 Swifter speeding than the last.

 Death, like winter, standeth nigh :

 Soon shall fade, and fall, and die. 
 
 But the sleeping earth shall wake. 
 
 And the flowers shall burst in bloom.

 O God of Bethel, 
 
 There is a Calm for those who -weep, 
 A rest for weary pilgrims found; 
 They softly lie, and sweetly sleep. 
 Low ia the ground. 
 
 The ttorm that wrecks the wintry sky 
 
 No more disturbs their sweet repose. 
 Than summer evening's latest sigh. 
 That shuts the rose. 
 
 I long to lay this painful head 
 
 And aching heart beneath the soil; 
 To slumber, in that dreamless bed. 
 From _I1 luy toil. 
 
 The Sot.' cJ odgin Divine, 
 
 Goas glorious image, freed from clay, 
 \a Heaven s eternal sphere shall shine, 
 A Star of day. 
 
 The sun is bet a spark of fire, 
 
 A transJent meteor in the sky; 
 The Soul, immortal as its Sire, 
 Shall never die. 
 
 O God of Bethel, by whose hand 
 
 'ihy people still are led. 
 Who through this weary pilgrimage' 
 
 Hast all our lathers led. 
 
 Our vows, our prayers, we now present 
 Betore I hy '1 hrone of grace ; 
 
 God of our Fathers ! be the God 
 Of ihcir succeeding race. 
 
 Through each perplexing path of life 
 Our wandering foot'-teps guide; 
 
 Give us each day our daily bread. 
 And raiment fit provide^ 
 
 O spread Thy covering Wings around 
 Till all our wanderings cease, 
 
 And at our Father's loved abode 
 Our souls arrive in peace I 
 
 Such blessings from thy gracious Hand. 
 
 Our hunible prayers implore ; 
 And Thou shalt be our chosen God, 
 
 And Portion evermore.

 O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear 
 The lowliest garb otpenuence and prayer.

 Of pardon, grace, and peace. 
 Of joy that hath no ending. 
 
 Of love which cannot cease.

 But ThouTiast made us mighty, 
 
 And stronger than the strong. 
 
 O Mother dear, Jerusalem ! 
 
 When shall I come to Thee ? 
 When shall my sorrows have an end ? 
 
 Thy joys when shall I see? 
 
 O happy haibor of God's sa nts ! 
 
 O sweet and pleasant soil ! 
 In thee no sorrow can be found. 
 
 Nor grief, nor care, nor toil, 
 
 No murky cloud o'ershadows thee, 
 Nor gloom, nor darksome night ; 
 
 But every soul shmes as the sun ; 
 For God Himself gives light. 
 
 O my sweet home, Jerusalem ! 
 
 Thy joys when shalll s€«? 
 The King that silteth on Thy throne 
 
 In His felicity? 
 
 ' And whos-iever comclh, 
 
 I will not cast him out." 
 O welcome voice of Jesus.

 Which calls us, very sinners.

 Of love so free and boundless.

 Then fear not, faint not, halt not now.

 And sing the triumph-song :

 I fain would take my stand ; 
 The shadow of a mighty rock 
 
 Within a weary land. 
 A home within the wilderness, 
 
 A rest upon the way. 
 From th' burning of the noon-tide heat. 
 
 And th' burden of the day. 
 
 Upon that cross of Jesus, 
 
 Mine eye at times can sec 
 The very dying form of One 
 
 Who suffered there for me. 
 And from my smitten heart with tears, 
 
 Two wonders I confess, — 
 The wonders of His glorious love. 
 
 And my own wurlhlessness. 
 
 1 take, O cross, thy shadow. 
 
 For my abiding place ; 
 I ask no other sunshine 
 
 Than the sunshine of His face : 
 Content to let the world go by. 
 
 To know no gam nor loss, — 
 My sinful self, my only shame, — 
 
 My^lory a 1 the cross.

 Till all our strivings cease : 
 Take from our souls the strain and stress; 
 And let our ordered lives confess

 Our eyes see dimly till by faith anointed. 
 
 And our blind choosings bring us grief and

 Through him alone who hath our way appointed^ 
 We find our peace again. 
 
 Choose for us, God !— nor let our weak preferring. 
 
 Cheat our poor souls of good Thou hast-

 Choose for us, God ! —Thy wisdom is unerring, 
 
 And we are fools and blind. 
 
 So from our sky, the night shall furl her shadowS,^ 
 And day pour gladness through his golden

 Our rough path leads to flower-enamelled 
 meadows 
 Where joy our coming waifs. 
 
 Let us press on in patient self-denial ; 
 
 Accept the hardship, shrinking not from lost^ 
 Our guerdon lies beyond the hour of trial :

 That heaven so bright and fair. 
 
 Where all is peace, and joy, and love; 
 How came those children 'here.

 Because the Saviour shed His. blood 
 
 To wash away their sin ; 
 Bathed in that pure and precious flood. 
 
 Behold them white and clean,

 On earth they sought the Saviour's grace. 
 On earth they loved His Name ; 
 
 So now they see His blessed face. 
 And stand before the Lamb

 1 (^4 God the Father Almighty. 
 
 A mighty Fortress is our God, 
 
 A Bulwark never failing ; 
 Our Helper He amid the flood 
 
 Of mortal ills prevailing : 
 For still our ancient foe 
 
 Doth seek to work us woe ; 
 His craft and power are great, 
 
 And, armed with cruel hate, 
 On earth is not his equal 
 
 Did we in our own strength confide. 
 Our striving would be losing ; 
 
 Were not the right man on our side, 
 The man of God's own choosing : 
 
 Dost ask who that may be ? 
 
 Christ Jesus, it is He ; 
 
 Lord Sabaoth His Name, 
 
 From age to age the same. 
 
 And He must win the battle. 
 
 And though this world, with devils filled 
 Should threaten to undo us; 
 
 We will not fear, for God hath willed 
 His truth to triumph through us : 
 
 The prince of darkness grim, — 
 
 We tremble not for him ; 
 
 His rage we can endure, 
 
 For lo 1 his doom is sure, 
 
 One little word shall fell him. 
 
 That word above all earthly powers. 
 No thanks to ihem, abideth ; 
 
 The Spirit and the gifts are ours 
 
 Through Him who with us sideth : 
 
 Let goods and kindred go.

 And angels, with their sparkling lyres.

 Send back the glad reply, 
 And greet from all their holy heights

 And Sharon waves in so'emn praise 
 
 Her silent groves of palm.

 How sweeps the song of solemn joy 
 
 O'er Judah's sacred hills ! 
 " Glory to God ! " the sounding skies 
 
 Loud with their anthems ring : 
 " Peace on the earth ; good-will to men, 
 
 From heaven's eternal King " 
 
 This day shall Christian tongues he mute. 
 
 And Christian hearts be cold ? 
 O catch the anthem that from heaven 
 
 O'er Judah's mountains rolled ; 
 When burst upon that listening night 
 
 The high and solemn lay, 
 " Glory to God ; on earth be peace : "

 The Holy City. 
 
 Last night I lay a-sleeping, 
 
 There came a Hream so fair ; 
 I stood in old Jerusalem, 
 
 Beside the Temple there ; 
 I heard the children singing, 
 
 And ever as they sang, 
 Methought the voice of Angels 
 
 From Heav'n in answer rang, 
 Methought the voice of Angels 
 
 From Heav'n in answer rang, 
 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, 
 
 Lift up your gates and sing 
 Hosanna in the highest, 
 
 Hosanna to your King I 
 
 And then methought my dream was chang'd. 
 
 The streets no longer rang, 
 Hush'd were the glad Hosannas 
 
 The little children sang, 
 The sun grew dark with mystery, 
 
 The morn was cold and chill, 
 As the shadow of a cross arose 
 
 Upon a lonely hill, 
 As the shadow of a cross arose 
 
 Upon a lonely hill. 
 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, 
 
 Hark ! how the Angels sing 
 Hosanna in the Highest ! 
 
 Hosanna to your King I 
 
 And once again the scene was chang'd, 
 
 New earth there seem'd to be ! 
 I saw the Holy City 
 
 Beside the tideless sea ; 
 The light of God was on its street, 
 
 The gates were open wide ; 
 And all who would might enter, 
 
 And no one was denied. 
 No need of moon or stars by night, 
 
 Nor sun to shine by day ; 
 It was the new Jerusalem, 
 
 That would not pass away I 
 It wa» the new Jerusalem, 
 
 That would not pass away. 
 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, 
 
 Sing for the night is o'er, 
 Hosanna in the highest ! 
 
 Hosanna for evermore !

 I saw the holy city, 
 
 The New Jerusalem, 
 Come down from heaven, a bride adorned 
 
 With jewelled diadem; 
 The flood of crystal waters 
 
 Flowed down the golden street; 
 And nations brought their honors there 
 
 And laid them at her feet. 
 
 And there no sun was needed. 
 
 Nor moon to shine -by night, 
 God's glory did enlighten all 
 
 The Lamb Himself, the light; 
 And there His servants serve Him, 
 
 And, life's long battle o'er. 
 Enthroned with Him, their Saviour, King, 
 
 They reign for evermore. 
 
 O great and glorious vision! 
 
 The Lamb upon His throne; 
 O wondrous sight for man to see! 
 
 The Saviour with His own: 
 To drink the living waters 
 
 And stand upon the shore. 
 Where neither sorrow, sin nor death, 
 
 Shall ever enter more. 
 
 O Lamb of God Who reignest! 
 
 Thou Bright and Morning Star, 
 Whose glory lightens that new earth 
 
 Which now we see from far! 
 O worthy Judge eternal! 
 
 When Thou dost bid us come, 
 Then open wide the gates of pearl, 
 
 And call Thv serv'ants home. Amen.

 Aspiration. 
 
 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, 
 
 Thy better portion trace; 
 Rise from transitory things, 
 
 Toward heav'n, thy destined place. 
 Sun and moon and stars decay, 
 
 Time shall soon this earth remove; 
 Rise, my soul, and haste away 
 
 To seats prepared above. 
 
 Cease, my soul, O cease to mourn! 
 
 Press onward to the prize-, 
 Soon thy Saviour will return. 
 
 To take thee to the skies: 
 There is everlasting peace. 
 
 Rest, enduring rest, in heaven; 
 There will sorrow ever cease, ^ 
 
 And crowns of joy be given. Amen.

 Divine Guidance.

 Jesu, my Lord. 
 
 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace; 
 Without Thy guiding hand we go astray, 
 And doubts appall, and sorrows still in- 
 crease; 
 Lead us through Christ, the true and 
 living away. 
 
 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of truth; 
 Unhelped by Thee, in error's maze we 
 grope. 
 While passion stains, and folly dims our 
 youth, 
 And age comes on, uncheered by faith 
 and hope. 
 
 Lead us, O Father, in the paths cf right; 
 
 Blindly we stumble when we walk alone. 
 Involved in shadows of a darksome night, 
 
 Only with Thee we journey safely on. 
 
 Lead us, O Father, to Thy heavenly rest. 
 However rough and steep the path may 
 be. 
 Through joy or sorrow, as Thou deemest 
 best, 
 Until our lives are perfected in Thee. 
 
 Amen.

 Glorious things of thee are spoken, 
 
 Sion, city of our God; 
 He, Whose word cannot be broken. 
 
 Formed thee for His own abode: 
 On the Rock of Ages founded, 
 
 What can shake thy sure repose ? 
 With salvation's walls surrounded. 
 
 Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 
 
 See, the streams of living waters 
 
 Springing from eternal love, 
 Well supply thy sons and daughters, 
 
 And all fear of want remove. 
 Who can faint, when such a river 
 
 Ever will their thirst assuage? 
 Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, 
 
 Never fails from age to age. 
 
 Round each habitation hovering, 
 
 See the cloud and fire appear 
 For a glory and a covering. 
 
 Showing that the Lord is near. 
 Thus deriving from their banner. 
 
 Light by night, and shade by day. 
 Safe they feed upon the manna. 
 
 Which He gives them when they pray. 
 
 Blest inhabitants of Sion, 
 
 Washed in the Redeemer's blood! 
 Jesus, Whom their souls rely on, 
 
 Makes them kings and priests to God. 
 'Tis His love His people raises 
 
 Over self to reign as kings: 
 And as priests, His solemn praises , 
 
 Each for a thank-offering brings.

 That Thou hast dealt so lovingly? 
 How great the joy that Thou hast brought 1

 Every fault that lurks within; 
 He the hidden shame glossed over 
 Can discover, 
 
 And discern each deed of sin. 
 
 Mayest thou on life's last morrow, 
 Free from sorrow, 
 
 Pass av/ay in slumber sweet; 
 And, released from death's dark sadness, 
 Rise in gladness, 
 
 That far brighter Sun to greet. 
 
 Only God's free gifts abuse not,

 But His Spirit's voice obey;

 And the tempter's power within. 
 Feed us with the Bread of Life; 
 Fit us for our daily strife.

 Our brethren shield in danger's hour; 
 
 From rock and tempest, fire and foe, 
 
 Protect them whersoe'er they go; 
 Thus evermore shall rise to Thee 
 Glad hymns of praise from land and sea. 
 
 As the morning light returns. 
 
 As the sun with splendor burns, 
 
 Teach us still to turn to Thee,

 With our hands our hearts to raise, 
 
 In unfailing prayer and praise.

 Let earth the notes prolong. 
 
 Refrain .- — 
 
 Glory, sing Glory, sing Glory in the highest ! 
 Glory, sing Glory, sing Glory to God on high ! 
 
 Shepherds of Judah in wonder gaze — 
 
 Glory to God in the highest ! 
 
 Never the world heard a song of praise 
 
 Like that when the Lord was born ; 
 
 " Peace on the earth, unto men good-will. 
 
 Glory to God in the highest !" 
 
 This was the song, and they sing it still, 
 
 Song of the Advent morn. 
 
 Take up the song that the angels sang — 
 
 Glory to God in the highest ! 
 
 Send it abroad as its echo rang 
 
 That night over hill and plain ; 
 
 Sing till the song o'er the earth shall roll — 
 
 Glory to God in the highest. ! 
 
 Sing loud and long till the farthest soul 
 
 Catches the glad refrain.
