HYMN 10. Fourth Part. C.M.
The blessings of providence. (cont.)

3	How many past, almost unknown,    Or unregarded, by!
5	Each rolling year new favours brought    From thy exhaustless store; But ah! in vain my lab'ring thought    Would count thy mercies o'er.
6	While sweet reflection, thro' my days    Thy bounteous hand would trace; Still dearer blessings claim my praise,    The blessings of thy grace.
7	Yes, I adore thee, gracious Lord,    For favours more divine; That I have known thy sacred word,    Where all thy glories shine.
9	Lord, when this mortal frame decays,    And ev'ry weakness dies, Complete the wonders of thy grace,    And raise me to the skies.
9	Then shall my joyful pow'rs unite    In more exalted lays; And join the happy sons of light    In everlasting praise.

HYMN 10. Fifth Part. C.M.
It is well.

1	IT shall be well, let sinners know,    With those, who love the Lord; His saints have always found it so,    When resting on his word.
2	Peace, then, ye chasten'd sons of God.    Why let your sorrows swell? Wisdom directs our Father's rod -    His word says, it is well.
3	Tho' you may trials sharp endure,    From sin, or death, or hell;

HYMN 10. Fifth Part. C.M.
Submission. (cont.)

3	Your heav'nly Father's love is sure,    And therefore, it is well.
4	Soon will your sorrows all be o'er,    And you shall sweetly tell, On Canaan's calm and pleasant shore,    That all at last is well.

HYMN 10. Sixth Part. C.M.
SUBMISSION.

1	SUBMISSIVE to thy will, my God,    I all to thee resign; And bow before thy chast'ning rod —    I mourn, but not repine.
2	Why should my foolish heart complain,    When wisdom, truth, and love Direct the stroke, inflict the pain,    And point to joys above?
3	How short are all my suff'rings here,    How needful ev'ry cross; Away, my unbelieving fear,    Nor call my gain, my loss.
4	Then give, dear Lord, or take away,    I'll bless thy sacred name; My Jesus, yesterday, to-day,    Forever is the same!

HYMN 11. First Part. C.M.
Jesus.

1	I'M not asham'd to own my Lord,    Nor to defend his cause; Maintain the honour of his word,    The glory of his cross.
2	Jesus, my God! I know his name;    His name is all my trust: Nor will he put my soul to shame,    Nor let my hope be lost.
