Disciples of Christ -- Hymns; Hymns, English
2 O, happy souls, who pray
Where God appoints to hear!
O, happy men, who pay
Their constant service there!
They praise thee still; and happy they
Who love the way to Zion’s hill.
3 They go from strength to strength,
Through this dark vale of tears,
Till each arrives at length,
Till each in heaven appears:
O glorious seat, when God, our King
Shall thither bring our willing feet.
CLOSING HYMNS.

He shall go in and out and find pasture.
John 10:9.
Now may the Lord our Shepherd lead
To living streams his little flock;
May he in flowery pastures feed;
Shade us at noon beneath the rock!
2 Now may we hear our Shepherd’s voice,
And gladly answer to his call;
Now may our hearts for him rejoice,
Who knows, and names, and loves us all.
3 When the Chief Shepherd shall appear,
And small and great before him stand,
O, be the flock assembling here
Found with the sheep on his right hand!
716 L. M.
Walking with God.
Through all this life’s eventful road,
Fain would I walk with thee, my God,
And find thy presence light around,
And every step on holy ground.
2 Each blessing would I trace to thee;
In every grief, thy mercy see;
And through the paths of duty move,
Conscious of thine encircling love.
3 And when the angel Death stands by,
Be this my strength, that thou art nigh;
And this my joy, that I shall be
With those who dwell in light with thee.
717 L. M.
The Lord bless thee, and keep thee.
Num. 6:24.
Ere to the world again we go,
Its pleasures, cares, and idle show,
Thy grace, once more, O God, we crave,
From folly and from sin to save.
2 May the great truths we here have heard—
The lessons of thy holy Word—
Dwell in our inmost bosoms deep,
And all our souls from error keep.
3 O, may the influence of this day
Long as our memory with us stay,
And as an angel guardian prove,
To guide us to our home above.
718 L. M.
Let all the people praise thee.
Psalm 67:5.
From all that dwell below the skies,
Let the Creator’s praise arise:
Let the Redeemer’s name be sung
Through every land, by every tongue.
2 Eternal are thy mercies, Lord;
Eternal truth attends thy word:
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.
719 L. M.
Grapes from Eshcol.
Num. 13:24.
