Je- sus, meek and gentle, Son of God mast high, Pitying,loving Saviour, Hear thy children's cry. 933 1 JESUS, meek and gentle, Son of God most high, Pitying, loving Saviour, Hear thy children's cry. 2 Give us holy freedom, Fill our hearts with love; Draw us, holy Jesus, To the realms above. 3 Lead us on our journey, George Rundle Prynne 1856 FAR, far away, there's a many mansioned dwelling, Where the Saviour waits to welcome the dear souls for whom He died, In the Home so far away! 2. Far, far away, there's a haven deep and quiet, Where the noiseless waves lie sleeping on the mountain-sheltered shore, Where the sails are furled for ever and the ship goes out no more, 3. So thitherward I travel, in gladness or in sorrow, Across these trackless waters, with His love to cheer me through. Will fire the heavenly mountains, with the Haven full in view CALM S. M. D. One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er,-Nearer my home to-day, am I Than e'er I've been before; Rest for the toiling hand, Rest for the anxious brow, Rest for the weary,way-worn feet, Rest from all labor now. 936 REST for the toiling hand, Rest for the anxious brow, Rest for the weary, way-worn feet, 2 Rest for the fevered brain, Rest for the throbbing eye; Through these parched lips of thine no more Shall pass the moan or sigh. 3 Soon shall the trump of God Give out the welcome sound That shakes thy silent chamber-walls, And breaks the turf-sealed ground. 4 Ye dwellers in the dust, Awake! come forth and sing! Sharp has your frost of winter been, But bright shall be your spring. 5 'Twas sown in weakness here, "Twill then be raised in power; That which was sown an earthly seed, Shall rise a heavenly flower. Horatius Bonar 1857 No, no, it is not dying Heaven's citizen to be; 3 No, no, it is not dying To hear this gracious word, "Receive a Father's blessing, For evermore possessing The favor of Thy Lord." 4 No, no, it is not dying The Shepherd's voice to know; To wear a lordly crown; Of Him whose sway we own. 6 O no, this is not dying, Thou Saviour of mankind!
