GLORIES OK CHRIST.
J This door will lead thee safe to heaven,
And give thee entrance in,
And God will own thy sins forgiven,
However vile they’ve been.
7 7 D. M.
Christ the corner-stone.
1 | AID by Jehovah’s might hands,
1—* Zion’s foundation firmly stands ;
Raised upon Christ, the corner-stone,
Secure as God’s eternal throne.
2 See how the glorious fabric grows,
Framed of materials that he chose;
Each stone prepared and fitly set,
The royal structure to complete.
3 Still shall this edifice arise,
Till all shall reach the lofty skies,
And joyful hosts shall praise above
Jehovah’s grace and Jesus’ love.
78 S. M.
Christ the way, truth and life.
1 | AM, saith Christ, the way;
1 Now, if we credit him,
All other paths must lead astray
How fair soe’er they seem.
2 I am, saith Christ, the truth ;
Then all that lacks this test,
Proceed it from an angel’s mouth
Is but a lie at best.
3 I am, saith Christ, the life ;
Det this be seen by faith ;
It follows, without farther strife.
That all besides is death.
