HYMNS.

DOCTRINAL AND PRACTICAL, ARRANGED AND NUMBERED
AGREEABLY TO THE SECTIONS OF THE CATHECHISM.

HYMN 1. First Part. C.M.
Our only comfort in life and death.

1	SUBSTANTIAL comfort will not grow    In nature's barren soil; All we can boast, till Christ we know,    Is vanity and toil.
2	But where the Lord has planted grace,    And made his glories known; There fruits of heav'nly joy and peace    Are found, and there alone.
3	A bleeding Saviour seen by faith;    A sense of pard'ning love; A hope, that triumphs over death,    Give joys like those above.
4	To take a glimpse within the veil;    To know that God is mine; Are springs of joy, that never fail,    Unspeakable! divine!
5	These are the joys, which satisfy,    And sanctify the mind: Which make the spirit mount on high,    And leave the world behind.
6	No more, believers, mourn your lot;    But since you are the Lord's, Resign to them, that know him not,    Such joys as earth affords.
