Shall echo through the realms above
When time shall be no more.

Jesus my All.
1 WHY should I fear the darkest hour,
Or tremble at the tempter s power!
Jesus vouchsafes to be my tower.
2 Though hot the fight, why quit the field,
Why must I either flee or yield,
Since Jesus is my mighty shield?
3 When creature-comforts fade and die,
Worldlings may weep, but why should I,
Jesus still lives, and still is nigh?
4 Though all the flocks and herds were dead,
My soul a famine need not dread,
For Jesus is my living bread.
5 I know not what may soon betide,
Or how my wants shall be supplied ;
But Jesus knows, and will provide.
6 Though sin would fill me with distress,
The throne of grace I dare address,
For Jesus is my righteousness.
7 Though faint my pray rs, and cold my love,
My steadfast hope shall not remove
While Jesus intercedes above.
8 Against me earth and hell combine,
But on my side is power divine ;
Jesus is all, and he is mine.

The hidden Life. C.
1 To tell the Saviour all my wants,
How pleasing is the task!
Nor less to praise him when he grants
Beyond what I can ask.
