The pearl of days : $b or, The advantages of the Sabbath to the working classes
Farquhar, Barbara H. (Barbara Henry)
Christian life; Christian literature; Didactic literature; Sabbath; Sunday; Working class -- Conduct of life
To mention a few of the favorite pieces omitted in some recent
collections, many Christians will at once recognize the following,
associated as some of them are with their sweetest seasons of
holy religious enjoyment:--“_Sweet land of rest, for thee I
sigh_”--“_Whither goest thou, pilgrim stranger_”--“_The Lord into his
garden comes_”--“_Farewell, dear friends, I must be gone_”--“_Amen,
amen, my soul replies_”--“_Come, my brethren, let us try_”--“_Vain,
delusive world, adieu_”--“_O come, my loving neighbors, will you go
to glory with me_”--“_Let thy kingdom, blessed Saviour_”--“_There
is a land of pleasure_”--“_O tell me no more of this world’s vain
store_”--“_To-day, if you will hear his voice_”--“_Beside the gospel
pool_”--“The Good Old Way,” commencing, “_Lift up your heads,
Immanuel’s friends_”--“The Harvest Home,” commencing, “_This is the
field, the world below_”--“The Bower of Prayer”--“The Saints’ Sweet
Home”--and Newton’s pious and expressive pieces--“The Beggar’s Prayer,”
commencing, “_Encouraged by thy word, of mercy to the poor_”--The
“Dying Thief,” commencing, “_Sovereign grace hath power alone_”--and,
“The Lord will provide,” commencing, “_Though troubles assail and
dangers affright_.”
One great motive in the present work was to restore, for the use of the
Editor’s own congregation and of such others as desire them, the above,
and a number of similar devotional and familiar “Sacred Songs,” omitted
in some recent Conference hymn books.
