echo back, ye ocean caves;
earth shall keep the jubilee:
Jesus saves!

'Jesus saves!'
Sing it softly through the gloom,
when the heart for mercy craves,
sing in triumph o’er the tomb,
'Jesus saves!'

'Jesus saves!'
Let the nations now rejoice,
'Jesus saves!'
Shout salvation full and free,
to every strand that ocean laves --
this our song of victory,
'Jesus saves!' Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 Used With Tune: LIMPSFIELD

whose depth unfathomed no one knows,
I see from far thy beauteous light,
inly I sigh for thy repose;
my heart is pained, nor can it be
at rest till it finds rest in thee.
2 Thy secret voice invites me still
the sweetness of thy yoke to prove;
and fain I would; but, though my will
seem fixed, yet wide my passions rove;
yet hindrances strew all the way;
I aim at thee, yet from thee stray.
3 'Tis mercy all, that thou hast brought
my mind to seek its peace in thee;
yet, while I seek but find thee not,
no peace my wandering soul shall see.
Oh, when shall all my wanderings end,
and all my steps to thee-ward tend?
4 Is there a thing beneath the sun
that strives with thee my heart to share?
Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone,
the Lord of every motion there;
then shall my heart from earth be free,
when it hath found repose in thee. Scripture: 1 John 5:21 Used With Tune: ST. PETERSBURG

and with sweet sleep mine eyelids close, --

to serve my God when I awake.

let no ill dreams disturb my rest,
no powers of darkness me molest.

for our wants to be supplied;

raise the song of harvest home.

bearing fruit his praise to yield;

then the full corn shall appear:

wholesome grain and pure may be.

and shall take his harvest home;
from his field shall in that day
all offences purge away;
give his angels charge at last
in the fire the tares to cast,
but the fruitful ears to store
in his storehouse evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come,
to thy final harvest home:
gather all your people in,
free from sorrow, free from sin;
there, for ever purified,
in your presence to abide:
come, with all your angels come,
raise the glorious harvest home! Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:9 Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR
