3 Oh, the peace and joy of the life I live,
  Trusting in the promise of the Savior;
Oh, the strength and grace only God can give,
  Trusting in the promise of the Savior. 
Whosoever will may be saved to-day,
  Trusting in the promise of the Savior;
And begin to walk in the holy way,
  Trusting in the promise of the Savior.

     Rev. H.B.  Hartzler.

374 Come, Ye Disconsolate. 11s. & 10s.

Consolation Offered. (868)

Come, ye disconsolate, where’er ye languish;
  Come to the mercy-seat, fervently kneel;
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;
  Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal!

2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,
  Hope when all others die, fadeless and pure—­
Here speaks the Comforter, in God’s name saying,
  Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure.

3 Here see the bread of life; see waters flowing
  Forth from the throne of God, boundless in love;
Come to the feast prepared, come, ever knowing
  Earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove.

     Vs. 1, 2, by Thomas Moore, 1816. 
     Vs. 3 by Thos.  Hastings.

375 Follow On!  P.M.

Following Christ.

Down in the valley with my Savior I would go,
Where the flowers are blooming and the sweet waters flow;
Ev’rywhere he leads me I would follow, follow on,
Walking in his footsteps till the crown be won.

Ref.—­Follow! follow!  I would follow Jesus! 
        Anywhere, everywhere I would follow on! 
      Follow! follow!  I would follow Jesus! 
        Ev’rywhere he leads me I will follow on!

2 Down in the valley with my Savior I would go, Where the storms are sweeping and the dark waters flow; With his hand to lead me I will never, never fear, Dangers cannot frighten me if my Lord is near.

3 Down in the valley, or upon the mountain steep, Close beside my Savior would my soul ever keep; He will lead me safely, in the path that he has trod, Up to where they gather on the hills of God.

     W.O.  Cushing.

376 Trusting Jesus. 7s.

Undoubting Trust.

Simply trusting ev’ry day,
Trusting thro’ a stormy way;
Even when my faith is small,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

Cho.—­Trusting as the moments fly,
      Trusting as the days go by;
      Trusting him whate’er befall,
      Trusting Jesus, that is all.

2 Brightly doth his Spirit shine
Into this poor heart of mine;
While he leads I cannot fall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

3 Singing if my way is clear;
Praying if the path is drear;
If in danger for him call;
Trusting Jesus, that is all.

4 Trusting him while life shall last,
Trusting him till earth is past;
Till within the jasper wall,
Trusting Jesus, that is all.
