IN the last days it shall | come-to | pass,
That the mountain of the house of the Lord
shall be established—in the | top of—the |
mountains,

And it shall be exalted above-the hills;
And people-shall | flow-unto | it.

And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain-of the | Lord,

And to the house-of the | God—of | Jacob: And he will teach us of his ways, and we will | walk in-his paths:

For the law shall go forth of Zion, and the | word-of the Lord from-Jerusalem.

And he shall judge a | mong-many people, And rebuke strong | nations-a | far off; | And they shall beat their | swords-into | plowshares,

And their spears | in-to | pruning hooks ;

Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn | war-any more. But they shall sit every man under his | vine— and under-his | fig tree;

And none shall make them-a | fraid :

For the mouth of the | Lord-of | hosts-hath | spoken it.

IF in this life only we have | hope-in | Christ,
We are of all men-most | miserable.
But now is Christ | risen-from the dead,
And become the | first-fruits of | them-that |
slept.

For since by man-came | death,

By man came also the resur | rec-tion | of— the dead.

For as in Adam-all die,

Even so in Christ shall all-be | made-a | live. |

Behold, I show you-a | mystery:

We shall not all sleep, but | we-shall | all—be | changed,

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, | at the last trump:

|

For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and | w—e | shallbe changed.

For this corruptible must put on | in-cor | ruption,

And this mortal must | put-on | im-mor |. tality.

So when this corruptible shall have put on | in-corruption,

And this mortal shall have | put-on | im-mor | tality,

Then shall be brought to pass the saying | thatis written,

Death is swallow-ed | up-in | victory.
O death, where | is-thy | sting?

O grave, where | is-thy | victory?

The sting of death—is | sin ;

And the strength-of | sin-is the | law.

But thanks be to God, which giveth | us-the | victory,

Through our | Lo-rd | Je-sus | Christ.

"THY will be done!" || In devious way The hurrying stream of

life may | run || Yet still our grateful hearts shall say |

"Thy will be

done!"

"Thy will be | done!" || If o'er us shine
A gladdening and a prosp'rous | sun ||
This prayer will make it more divine |
Thy will be | done!" ||

"Thy will be | done!" || Though shrouded o'er Our path with | gloom, || one comfort-one Is ours:-to breathe, while we adore |

"Thy will be | done!" ||

MY soul doth magni | fy-the | Lord,
And my spirit hath re | joiced-in | God,—my |
Saviour.

For he hath-regarded

The lowliness-of his-hand | maiden :

For behold-from | henceforth

All generations-shall | call-me | blessed. For he that is mighty hath | magni-fied | me; And ho-ly | is—his | name.

And his mercy is on | them-that | fear him
Throughout-all | gen-er | ations.

He hath showed | strength-with his arm;
He hath scattered the proud in the imagin |
a-tion | of-their | hearts.

He hath put down the mighty | from-their | seat,

And hath ex | alted-the | humble-and | meek.
He hath filled the | hungry-with good | things;
And the rich he hath sent | empty-a | way.
I

He remembering-his | mercy,

Hath | holpen-his | servant | Israel;
As he promised to | our-fore | fathers,
Abraham and-his | seed-for | ever.

FROM the recesses of a lowly spirit

My humble prayer ascends, Ō | Fa―ther! | hear it! ||

Upsoaring on the wings of fear and meekness,
For give its weakness.

I know, I feel, how mean and how unworthy
The trembling sacrifice I | pour-be | fore Thee; ||
What can I offer in Thy presence holy

But | sin-and | folly?

For in thy sight-who every bosom viewestCold are our warmest vows, and | vain—our | truest; ||

Thoughts of a hurrying hour, our lips repeat them,

Our hearts-for | get them.

We see Thy hand, it leads and it supports us; We hear Thy voice-it | counsels-and it | courts us ; ||

And then we turn away-and still Thy kindness || Par dons-our | blindness.
