HOPE AND ENCOURAGEMENT.
    4  ‘Forget thee, I will not, I cannot—thy name
      Engraved on my heart doth for ever remain !
      The palms of my hands, while I look on, I see
      The wounds I received when suffering for
       thee,
    5  ‘I feel at my heart all thy sighs and thy groans
      For thou art most near me, my flesh and my
        bones ;
      In all thy distresses thy Head feels the pain,
      Yet all are most needful, not one is in vain.
    6  ‘Then trust me, and fear not, thy life is se­
        cure ;
      My wisdom is perfect, supreme is my power;
      In love I correct thee, thy soul to refine,
      To make thee at length in my likeness to
       shine.

             Christians animated to courage.
    1  Z~''OME, ye who know the Lord indeed,
          Who are from sin and bondage freed;
      Submit to all the ways of God,
      And walk the narrow, happy road.
    2  Great tribulation you shall meet,
      But soon shall walk the golden street;
      Though hell may rage, and vent her spite,
      Yet Christ will save his heart’s delight.
    3  That awful day will soon appear,
      When Gabriel’s trumpet you shall hear
      Sound through the earth, yea, down to hell,
      To call the nations, great and small.
    4  To see the earth in burning flames,
      The trumpet louder here proclaims:
