Metliinks I hear my Saviour say,
" Wilt thou forsake me too?"
2 Ah, Lord! with such a heart as mine,
Unless thou hold me fast,
I feel I must, I shall decline,
And prove like them at last.
3 Yet thou alone hast power, I know,
To save a wretch like me ;
To whom, or whither, could I go,
If I should turn from thee ?
4 Beyond a doubt I rest assured
Thou art the Christ of God,
Who hast eternal life secured
By promise and by blood.
5 The help of men and angels join d
Could never reach my case ;
Nor can I hope relief to find
But in thy boundless grace.
6 No voice but thine can give me rest,
And bid my fears depart ;
No love but thine can make me bless cl.
And satisfy my heart.
7 What anguish has that question stirr d,
If I will also go?
Yet, Lord, relying on thy word,
I humbly answer No.

The Resurrection and the Life.—John, xi, 25.
1 " I AM," saith Christ, " your glorious head," i
(May we attention give,)
" The resurrection of the dead,
The life of all that live.
2 "By faith in me the soul receives
New life, though dead before ;
And he that in my name believes,
Shall live to die no more.
