CHRISTIAN EXHRCISKS.
359 C. M.
Power of Faith.
AITH adds new charms to earthly bliss
F And saves us from its snares :
It yields support in all our toils,
And softens all our cares.
2 The wounded conscience knows its power
The healing balm to give ;
That balm the saddest heart can cheer,
And make the dying live.
3 Unveiling wide the heavenly world,
Where endless pleasures reign,
It bids us seek our portion there ;
Nor bids us seek in vain.
4 Faith shows the promise fully sealed
With our Redeemer’s blood ;
It helps our feeble hope to rest
Upon a faithful God.
5 There still unshaken, would we rest
Till this frail body dies;
And then on faith’s triumphant wing
To endless glory rise.

Holy aspirations.
1 ft A Y God, permit me not to be
1 ’ 1 A stranger to myself and thee;
Amidbt a thousand thoughts I rove,
Forgetful of my highest love.
2 Why should my passions mix with earth
And thus debase my nobler birth ?
