The Same.

1 Through thee we now together came,
In singleness of heart;
We met, O, Jesus, in thy name,
And in thy name we part.

2 We part in body, not in mind;
Our minds continue one;
And, each to each in Jesus joined,
We hand in hand go on.

3 Present we still in spirit are,
And intimately nigh,
While on the wings of faith and prayer
We each to other fly.

4 Our life is hid with Christ in God;
Our life shall soon appear,
And shed his glory all abroad
In all his members here.

923. L. M. Doddridge.

The Christian Farewell.

1 Thy presence, everlasting God!
Wide o'er all nature spreads abroad:
Thy watchful eyes, which cannot sleep,
In every place thy children keep.

2 While near each other we remain,
Thou dost our lives and souls sustain;
When sep'rate, happy if we share
Thy smiles, thy counsels, and thy care.

3 To thee we all our ways commit,
And seek our comforts near thy feet;
Still on our souls vouchsafe to shine,
And guard and guide us still as thine.

4 Give us in thy beloved house,
Again to pay our grateful vows;
Or, if that joy no more be known,
Give us to meet around thy throne.

924. 8s. & 7s. M. C. Wesley.

Domestic Worship.

1 Peace be to this habitation;
Peace to all that dwell therein;
Peace, the earnest of salvation;
Peace, the fruit of pardoned sin;
Peace, that speaks the heavenly Giver;
Peace, to worldly minds unknown;
Peace divine, that lasts forever;
Peace, that comes from God alone.

2 Jesus, Prince of Peace, be near us;
Fix in all our hearts thy home;
With thy gracious presence cheer us;
Let thy sacred kingdom come;
Raise to heaven our expectation,
Give our favored souls to prove
Glorious and complete salvation,
In the realms of bliss above.

925. L. M. Doddridge & Merrick.

The Same. Ps. 128.

1 Blest is the man who fears the Lord,
And walks by his unerring word;
Comfort and peace his days attend,
And God will ever prove his friend.

2 To him who condescends to dwell
With saints in their obscurest cell,
Be our domestic altars raised,
And daily let his name be praised.
