Time has rolled on in the love of the Lord.

556.

I GOD of creation, our Father and Saviour, Praise for thy goodness we humbly accord; Crowned with thy blessing, and blest with thy favor,

Time has rolled on in the love of the Lord.

2 Forward we look, and the brightness of glory

Dawneth resplendent from mansions above;

Ransomed from sorrow, each soul shall adore thee,

Filled with the fruits of unsearchable love! 3 Darkness and doubting forever departed, Sighing and sorrow forever shall cease; And in the grace, by Jehovah imparted, Joy shall roll on in the river of peace.

thee!

I NOT, Lord, thine ancient works alone,
Thy wonders to past ages shown,

Make our glad spirits glow;
Our eyes behold thy works of might,
On us full beam thy wonders bright,
The living God we know.

2 We joy not only to be told

How with thy saints and seers of old

Thou madest sweet abode;
We of thy presence bright can tell,
Thou in thy living saints dost dwell,-
We feel the living God.

3 Thou settest us each task divine; We bless that helping hand of thine, This strength by thee bestowed.

In loftiest songs of sweetest praise,
I would to everlasting days

Make all his glories known.

3 Well, the delightful day will come When my dear Lord will bring me home, And I shall see his face;

Then with my Saviour, Brother, Friend, A blest eternity I'll spend,

Triumphant in his grace.

Thou minglest in the glorious fight,
Thine own the cause, thine own the might,
We serve the living God.

4 Ah, soon we droop! ah, soon we tire! Our fainting hearts new strength require, Again would quickened be.

We ask no priest; we seek no shrine;
To thee we come for life divine,

Thou living God, to thee.

5 O, more than satisfy our need;
Our most divine desire exceed;
Our constant quickener be:
Thou living God, possess us still,
Thy wondrous life in us fulfil,
Our blessed life in thee.
