9:

1. Bless-ed as - sur-ance, Je- sus is mine! O what a

fore-taste of

glory divine! Heir of sal va- tion, purchased of God, Born of His

story, this is my song, Praising my Sav-iour all the day long.

A-MEN.

2 Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight.
Angels descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

3 Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Saviour am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
Fanny J. Crosby, 1873

509 RESCUE THE PERISHING II 10 II IO With Refrain W. Howard Doane, 1870

REFRAIN

Tell them of

Rescue the per- ish- ing

care for the dying; Jesus is mer- ci-ful, Jesus will save. A-MEN.

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 hand, wakened by kindness,
Chords that were broken will vibrate once more,

4 Rescue the perishing, duty demands it;

Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide:
Back to the narrow way patiently win them;
Tell the poor wanderer a Saviour has died.

Frances Jane Van Alstyne, 1870

deem- er and Friend, To bless and to com- - fort our way;

I know the glad

song of the heav-en-ly throng; He liv-eth, He liv-eth to day.

A-MEN.

2 The Friend of our need, the hope of the world,
Abides with us still as of old;

When wandering far in sorrow and sin,

He leadeth us home to the fold.

9:#

lu-jah, a-men, Hal-le-lu-jah! Thine the glo-ry, re-vive us again. A-MEN.

(FLSA)

2 We praise Thee, O God! for Thy Spirit of light.
Who has shown us our Saviour, and scattered our night.

3 All glory and praise to the Lamb that was slain,
Who has borne all our sins, and has cleansed every stain.

4 All glory and praise to the God of all grace,
Who has bought us, and sought us, and guided our ways.
5 Revive us again; fill each heart with Thy love;
May each soul be re-kindled with fire from above.

William P. Mackay, 1866

3 O Lord of the sea, Who once walked abroad
On treacherous waves of the tide,
We know that Thy strong and pitying arms,
Our wavering footsteps still guide.

4 Thou art not afar in regions unknown,
Our faith reacheth up unto Thee;

And still, through the mists of ages long past,
The Saviour of sinners doth see.
