CHRISTIAN EXERCISES.

Christ’s love unchangeable.
1 <^OME, let our hearts and voices join,
To praise the Saviour’s name,
Whose truth and kindness are divine,
Whose love’s a constant flame.
2 When most we need his gracious hand,
This friend is always near ;
With heaven and earth at his command,
He waits to answer prayer.
3 His love no end or measure knows,
No change can turn its course ;
Immutably the same it flows
From one eternal source.
4 When frowns appear to veil his face,
And clouds surround his throne,
He hides the purpose of his grace
To make it better known.
5 And if our dearest comforts fall
Before his sovereign will,
He never takes away our all;
Himself he gives us still.
6 Our sorrows in the scale he weighs,
And measures out our pains ;
The wildest storm his word obeys,
His word its rage restrains.

Eternal life
1 EXTERNAL, life! how sweet the sound,
O To sinners who deserve to die !
Publish the bliss the world around,
Echo the joys, ye worlds on high.
