4 Seek we, then, the Lord’s Anointed;
He shall grant us peace and rest:
Ne’er was suppliant disappointed
Who through Christ his prayer addressed.

1 John 4:19.
Saviour! teach me, day by day,
Love’s sweet lessons to obey;
Sweeter lessons can not be,
Loving him who first loved me.
2 With a child-like heart of love,
At thy bidding may I move;
Prompt to serve and follow thee,
Loving him who first loved me.
3 Teach me all thy steps to trace,
Strong to follow in thy grace;
Learning how to love from thee,
Loving him who first loved me.
4 Love in loving finds employ—
In obedience all her joy;
Ever new that joy will be,
Loving him who first loved me.
5 Thus may I rejoice to show
That I feel the love I owe;
Singing, till thy face I see,
Of his love who first loved me.
785 7s & 6s.
I will fear no evil.
Psalm 23:4.
In heavenly love abiding,
No change my heart shall fear;
And safe is such confiding,
For nothing changes here.
The storm may roar without me,
My heart may low be laid,
But God is round about me,
And can I be dismayed?
2 Wherever he may guide me,
No want shall turn me back:
My Shepherd is beside me,
And nothing can I lack.
His wisdom ever waketh,
His sight is never dim;
He knows the way he taketh,
And I will walk with him.
3 Green pastures are before me,
Which yet I have not seen;
Bright skies will soon be o’er me,
Where the dark clouds have been.
My hope I can not measure,
My path to life is free,
My Saviour has my treasure,
And he will walk with me.
786 6s & 4s.
Be thou my strong Rock.
Psalm 31:2.
O strong to save and bless,
My Rock and Righteousness,
Draw near to me;
Blessing, and joy, and might,
Wisdom, and love, and light,
Are all with thee.
2 My Refuge and my Rest,
As child on mother’s breast
I lean on thee;
From faintness and from fear,
When foes and ill are near,
Deliver me.
3 O, answer me, my God;
Thy love is deep and broad,
Thy grace is true;
Thousands this grace have shared;
O, let _me_ now be heard,
O, love _me_, too.
787 P. M.
It is well.
2 Kings 4:26.
Through the love of God our Saviour,
All will be well:
Free and changeless is his favor;
All, all is well:
Precious is the blood that healed us;
Perfect is the grace that sealed us;
Strong the hand stretched out to shield us;
All must be well;
