RESOICING.
10 Millions of years around shall run,
Our song shall still go on,
To praise the Father and the Son,
And Spirit three in one.

The pleasures of religion.
1 ’'T'IS religion that can give
’ Sweetest pleasures while we live ;
’Tis religion must supply
Solid comfort when we die.
2 After death its joys will be
Tasting as eternity ;
Be the living God my friend,
Then my bliss shall never end.

Not unto us, but to thy name, give glory,
1 M OT unto us, but thee alone,
1 Bless’d Lamb, be glory given ;
Here shall thy praises be begun,
And carried on in heaven.
2 The hosts of spiritsnow with thee
Eternal anthems sing ;
To imitate them here, lo ! we
Our hallelujahs bring.
3 Had we our tongues like them inspired(
Like theirs our songs should rise ;
Like them we never should be tired,
But love the sacrifice.
4 Till we the veil of flesh lay down,
Accept our weaker lays ;
And when we reach thy Father’s throne,
We’ll give thee nobler praise.
