what

we say, But what we wish or fear.

2

He sees us when we are alone,

Though no one else can see;

And all our thoughts to him are known,
Wherever we may be.

3

'Tis not enough to bend the knee,
And words of prayer to say:
The heart must with the lips agree,
Or else we do not pray.

4

Teach us, O Lord, to pray aright;
Thy grace to us impart,

That we in prayer may take delight,
And serve thee with the heart.

5

Then, heavenly Father! at thy throne,
Thy praise we will proclaim;

And daily our requests make known
In our Redeemer's name.

2 Though the sea be deep and wide,
Though a passage seem denied ;
Fearless let us still proceed,

Since the Lord vouchsafes to lead

3 Though it seems the gloom of night,
Though we see no ray of light;
Since the Lord Himself is there,
'Tis not meet that we should fear.
4 Night with Him is never night,
Where He is, there all is light;
When He calls us, why delay?
They are happy who obey.

5 Be it ours, then, while we're here,
Him to follow without fear !

Where He calls us, there to go,
What He bids us, that to do.

JUST AS I AM. Peculiar.

1 Just as I am- -with-out one plea,

But that thy blood was
And that thou bid'st me
O Lamb of God, I

shed for | me, I
come to | Thee, |
come.

2 Just as I am-and | waiting | not

To rid my soul of one dark | blot—|
To Thee, whose blood can | cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come.

3 Just as I am-though | tossed | about
With many a conflict, many a doubt, I
With fears within, and foes | without-
O Lamb of God, I come.

4 Just as I am, poor | wretched | blind-
Sight, riches, healing | of the mind, |
Yea, all I need, in Thee to [ find, I
O Lamb of God, I | come,

5 Just as I am, Thou wilt re- | ceive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, | cleanse, relieve, I
Because Thy promise | I believe-
O Lamb of God, I | come.

6 Just as I am-thy | love un- | known,
Has broken every | barrier | down; I
Now to be thine, yea, | Thine a- | lone, |
O Lamb of God I | come.
