Shall silence keep before the Lord ; And earth, and hell, and sin shall flee At Jesu's everlasting word. Looking to Christ. 1 A UTHOR of faith, appear ; ^JL Be thou its finisher ! Upward still for this we gaze, Till we feel the stamp divine, Thee behold with open face, Bright in all thy glory shine. 2 Leave not thy work undone, But ever love thine own ; Let us all thy goodness prove Let us to the end believe ; Show thine everlasting love, Save us, to the utmost save t>22 The Experience, §-c, 3 O that our life might be One looking up to thee ! Ever hastening to the day, When our eyes shall see thee near ; Come, Redeemer, come away, Glorious in thy saints appear. 4 Jesu, the heavens bow, We long to meet thee now ! Now in Majesty come down, Pity thine elect, and come : Hear us in thy Spirit groan, Take the weary exiles home. 5 Now let thy face be seen Without a veil between : Come, and change our faith to sight Swallow up mortality ; Plunge us in a sea of light ; Christ, be all in all to me. HYMN 684. fs £ 6's. Deliverance in Danger.. 1 f~^ OD of Daniel, hear my prayer, ^J And let thy power be seen ; Stop the lion's mouth, and bear Me safe out of his den : Save me in this dreadful hour ! Earth, and hell, and nature join ; All stand ready to devour This helpless soul of mine. 2 Thee I serve, my Lord, my God ; In me thy power display : Save me, save me, and defraud The lion of his prey. Angel of the Covenant, Jesus, mighty to retrieve, of Believers. 623 Let him to my help be sent : In Jesus I believe. 3 Save me for thine own great name, That all the world may know, Daniel's God is still the same, And reigns supreme below : Him let all mankind adore, Spread his glorious name abroad ; Tremble all, and bow before The great, the living God. 4 Absolute, unchangeable, O'er all his works he reigns ; His dominion cannot fail, But undisturb'd remains : His dominion standeth fast, Is when time no more shall be ; Still shall his dominion last Through all eternity.
