154bLove divine, all love excelling
155I know that my Redeemer lives
156aCome, O thou Traveller unknown
156bO love that casts out fear
157aO Love divine, that stooped to share
157bMy dear Redeemer and my Lord
158Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin
159Hail, thou once despised Jesus!
160aEternal Father! strong to save
160bBehold, the Master passeth by!
161Thy life was given for me
162Jesus, thy boundless love to me
164Just as I am, without one plea
165aO Jesus, thou art standing
165bWith broken heart and contrite sigh
166In the hour of trial
167Behold, a Stranger at the door
168aAmazing grace! how sweet the sound
168bThrow out the Life-Line across the dark wave
169Rescue the perishing, care for the dying
170Jesus is tenderly calling thee home
171aLove for all! and can it be?
171bLord, I hear of show'rs of blessing
172I hear thy welcome voice
173I bow my forehead to the dust
175aIn the cross of Christ I glory
175bBeneath the cross of Jesus
176Sweet the moments, rich in blessing
177There is a green hill far away
178aWhen I survey the wondrous cross
178bAlas! and did my Saviour bleed
179O Jesus, Lord most merciful
180At the Cross her station keeping
181The head, that once was crowned with thorns
182aMust Jesus bear the cross alone
182bThere is a fountain filled with blood
183Saviour, thy dying love
184aPass me not, O gentle Saviour
184bJesus, keep me near the cross
185I gave My life for thee
186My Jesus, I love thee, I know thou art mine
187Hark! hark, my soul! Angelic songs are swelling
188aO Paradise, O Paradise
188bJerusalem, the golden
189For thee, O dear, dear country
191Ten thousand times ten thousand
192O mother dear, Jerusalem
193Jerusalem! high tower thy glorious walls
194aFor ever with the Lord!
194bFor all the saints, who from their labors rest
195One sweetly solemn thought
196The sands of time are sinking
197My days are gliding swiftly by
198aFather to thee we look in all our sorrow
198bIt singeth low in every heart
199On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
200The Homeland! O the Homeland!
201Now the laborer's task is o'er
202aFrom all thy saints in warfare
202bThose eternal bowers
203There is a land of pure delight
204Asleep in Jesus! blessèd sleep
205Golden harps are sounding
206I heard a sound of voices
208Rejoice, ye pure in heart
209By cool Siloam's shady rill
210aI think, when I read that sweet story of old
210bJesus, from thy throne on high
212Saviour, who thy flock art feeding
213There's a Friend for little children
214O Jesus, Prince of life and truth
216O day of rest and gladness
217Safely through another week
218aFrom every stormy wind that blows
218bI love thy kingdom, Lord
219I love to steal awhile away
220aGod be with you till we meet again
220bPleasant are thy courts above
221O where are kings and empires now
222O what the joy and the glory must be
223On our way rejoicing
224aLord of our life, and God of our salvation
224bLord, her watch thy church is keeping
225Jesus! where'er thy people meet
226Light of light, enlighten me
228The spacious firmament on high
229aEternal Ruler of the ceaseless round
229bGod of the earth, the sky, the sea
230We plow the fields, and scatter
231Come, ye thankful people, come
232With songs and honors sounding loud
233aRocked in the cradle of the deep
233bRing out, wild bells, to the wild sky
234Another year is dawning
236Watchman, tell us of the night
237O come, O come, Emmanuel
238aJoy to the world, the Lord is come
238bO come, all ye faithful
239Hark! the herald angels sing
240aHoly night, peaceful night
