The new member'* declaration,
1 DEOPLE of the living God,
r I have sought the world around,
Paths of sin and sorrow trod,
Peace and comfort nowhere found.
2 Now to you my spirit turns,
Turns, a fugitive unblest;
Brethren, where your alter burns,
O receive me into rest !

Like the cloud, the wind, the wave;
Where you dwell shall be my home,
Where you die shall be my grave.
I Mine the God whom you adore,
Your Redeemer shall be mine ;
Earth can fill my soul no more,
Every idol I resign.

The time for such trifles with me now is

A country I’ve found where true joys
abound,
To dwell I’m determined on that happy
ground.
2 No mortal will know what Christ doth be­

What life, strength, and comfort do aftei
him go ;
