I love to tell the story!
Because I know it's true;
It satisfies my longing,
As nothing else would do!
I love to tell the story!
"Twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and His love.

2 I love to tell the story!
More wonderful it seems,
Than all the golden fancies
Of all our golden dreams.
I love to tell the story!

It did so much for me;
And that is just the reason
I tell it now to thee.

3 I love to tell the story!

For those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting
To hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory,
I sing the new, new song,
"Twill be the old, old story
That I have loved so long.

Converse.

HAT a friend we have in Jesus,

What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer.
O! what peace we often forfeit,
O! what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry

Everything to God in prayer.

2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble everywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

M. H. 50

Can we find a friend so faithful,

Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

3 Are we weak and heavy laden,

Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer,

In His arms He'll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.

Joseph Scriven.

Rescue.

"Copyright, Mrs. Geo. H. Doane.

RESCUE the perishing,

for the dying,

M. H. 44

Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave

Weep o'er the erring one,

Lift up the fallen,

Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save.

Rescue the perishing,

Care for the dying;
Jesus is merciful,

Jesus will save.

2 Though they are slighting Him,
Still He is waiting,

Waiting the penitent child to receive;
Plead with them earnestly,

Plead with them gently;

He will forgive, if they only believe.

3 Down in the human heart,

Crushed by the tempter,

Feelings lie buried that grace can restore;

Touched by a loving heart,

Wakened by kindness,

Chords that were broken will vibrate once more.

Fanny J. Crosby.

Lower Lights.

Copyright, John Church Co.

M. H. 31

RIGHTLY beams our Father's mercy,
From His lighthouse evermore;

But to us He gives the keeping
Of the lights along the shore.

Let the lower lights be burning!
Send a gleam across the wave!
Some poor fainting, struggling seamen
You may rescue, you may save.

2 Dark the night of sin has settled,
Loud the angry billows roar;
Eager eyes are watching, longing,
For the lights along the shore.

3 Trim your feeble lamp, my brother;
Some poor sailor tempest tost,
Trying now to make the harbor,
In the darkness may be lost.

M. H. 31

THROW out the life-line across the dark wave,

There is a brother whom someone should save;
Somebody's brother! oh, who then, will dare
To throw out the life-line, his peril to share?

Throw out the life-line!

Some one is drifting away;

Throw out the life-line!

Some one is sinking to-day.

2 Throw out the life-line with hand quick and strong: Why do you tarry, why linger so long?

See! he is sinking; oh, hasten to-day

And out with the life-boat! away, then, away!

3 Throw out the life-line to danger fraught men, Sinking in anguish where you've never been: Winds of temptation and billows of woe

Will soon hurl them out where dark waters flow.

4 Soon will the season of rescue be o'er,
Soon will they drift to eternity's shore;
Haste then, my brother, no time for delay,
But throw out the life-line and save them to-day.

ONCE to every man and nation

Comes the moment to decide,

In the strife of truth with falsehood,
For the good or evil side;

Some great cause, God's new Messiah
Offering each the bloom or blight,

And the choice goes by for ever

'Twixt that darkness and that light.

2 Then to side with truth is noble,
When we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit,
And 'tis prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses,
While the coward stands aside
Till the multitude make virtue
Of the faith they had denied.

3 By the light of burning martyrs
Jesus' bleeding feet I track,
Toiling up new Calvaries ever
With the cross that turns not back;
New occasions teach new duties,

Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still and onward,
Who would keep abreast of truth.

4 Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet 'tis truth alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold,
And upon the throne be wrong,
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow
Keeping watch above His own.

God is Working His Purpose Out. M. H. 110

NOD is working His purpose out,

GOD

As year succeeds to year:

God is working His purpose out,
And the time is drawing near-
Nearer and nearer draws the time,
The time that shall surely be,

When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God,
As the waters cover the sea.
