1. { When waves of sor-ToW row full well," TY
When waves of sor-row round me swell, My soul is
not dismayed I, be not a-fraid.'

When black the threatening clouds appear, And storms my path invade, That
3. Jesus, the Lord, their harps employs; Jesus, thy love they sing; Jesus, the life of all our joys,
Sounds sweet from every string.
4. Now let me mount and join their song; And be an angel too;
My hand, my heart, my ear, my tongue,
Here's joyful work for you.
5. I would begin the music here,
And so my soul should rise;
Oh for some heavenly notes to bear
My passions to the skies!
6. There ye that love my Saviour sit,
There I would fain have place,
Among your thrones, or at your feet,
So I might see his face.
1. De-lay not, de- lay not, O sin- ner, draw near, The wa-ters
1. DELAY not, delay not, O sinner draw near,
The waters of life are now flowing for thee;
No price is demanded, the Saviour is here;
Redemption is purchased, salvation is free.
2. Delay not, delay not, why longer abuse
The love and compassion of Jesus thy God?
A fountain is open, how canst thou refuse
To wash and be cleansed in his pardoning blood?
3. Delay not, delay not, O sinner, to come,
For Mercy still lingers and calls thee to-day:
Her voice is not heard in the vale of the tomb;
Her message unheeded will soon pass away.
4. Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace
Long grieved and resisted may take his sad flight,
And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race,
To sink in the vale of eternity's night!
5. Delay not, delay not, the hour is at hand,
The earth shall dissolve, and the heavens shall fade;
The dead, small and great, in the judgment shall stand;
What power then, O sinner, will lend thee its aid!
1. How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in his excellent word;
What more can he say than to you he hath said—
Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled.
2. Fear not, I am with thee, oh! be not dismayed;
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid:
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
3. When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be with thee, thy trials to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
4. When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply,
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
5. E'en down to old age all my people shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And then, when gray hairs shall their temples adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne.
6. The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
I will not-I will not desert to his foes:
That soul-though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never-no never-no never forsake!
1. THE Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know;
I feed in green pastures, safe folded to rest;
He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow,
Restores me when wandering, redeems when oppressed.
2. Through the valley and shadow of death though I stray,
Since Thou art my Guardian, no evil I fear;
Thy rod shall defend me, thy staff be my stay;
No harm can befall, with my Comforter near.
3. In the midst of affliction my table is spread;
With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o'er;
With perfume and oil thou anointest my head;
O what shall I ask of thy providence more.
4. Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God!
Still follow my steps till I meet thee above;
I seek-by the path which my forefathers trod,
Through the land of their sojourn-thy kingdom of love.
