Descriptive data for this set (listed below slide images)

Slide 1

Hark! hark, my soul! angelic songs are swelling / O'er earth's green fields, and ocean's wave-beat shore

Slide 2

Darker than life's shadows close around us / And like benighted men we miss our mark

Slide 3

Onward we go, for still we hear them singing, / 'Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come'

Slide 4

Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing, / The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea

Slide 5

Rest comes at length, though life be long and dreary / The day must dawn and darksome night be past

Slide 6

Cheer up, my soul! faith's moonbeams softly glisten / Upon the breast of life's most troubled sea

Slide 7

Angels! sing on, your faithful watches keeping, / Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above
