Men who, fix'd to earth alone, Think their houses shall endure; Fondly call their lands their own, To their distant heirs secure. How happy then are we, Who build, O Lord, on thee! What can our foundation shock? Though the shatter'd earth remove, Stands our city on a rock, On the Rock of heavenly Love. A house we call our own, Which cannot be o'erthrown: In the general ruin sure, Storms and earthquakes it defies; Built immoveably secure; Cannot pass from heir to heir. Bloom, our infinite reward; 6 O might we quickly find The place for us design'd! Let the new-made world appear! 7 High on thy great white throne, O King of Saints, come down! In the New Jerusalem, Now triumphantly descend; Let the final trump proclaim Joys begun which ne'er shall end. Triumph.] 1 HYMN 594. P. M.

We sing thine arm unshorten'd, Brought through our sore temptation : With heart and voice In thee rejoice, The God of our salvation. 3 Thine arm hath safely brought us Than when thy sheep Pass'd thro' the deep, Thy glory was our rereward, Thine hand our lives did cover, 4 Thy works we now acknowledge, Which help'd thine own, By means unknown, 515 By Satan's host surrounded, Thou didst with patience arm us, 5 The world's and Satan's malice We triumph in thy favour, Pensford.] HYMN 595. 8 lines 7's & 6's. 1 WHO is this gigantic foe W That proudly stalks along : On his sword and spear relies : 2 Tallest of the earth-born race, 'He is my own wickedness, 3 In the strength of Jesu's name, Mindful of his mercies past, 4 With my sling and stone I go, Trust in an Almighty Lord; For he hath spoke the word. 5 In the strength of God I rise, Faith the word of power applies, Faith in Jesu's conquering name 6 Rise, ye men of Israel, rise, He his conquering grace affords ; 7 Every day the Lord of Hosts Conqu❜ror over sin proclaim; 1 Oiley.] HYMN 596. 4 lines 7's. upon thee; Never by thy work abide, Never in thy wounds reside? 20 how wavering is my mind! Toss'd about with every wind!
