At London, the Nineteenth day of April, One thousand Eight hundred and Sixty-six Years :

The Synod of the Presbyterian Church in England being met, and didy constituted :

Inter alia, REPORT ON HYMN-BOOK.

The Synod receive and adopt the Report (on the Collection of Psalms and

Hymns laid on the table) and appoint a Committee of their

number to complete the volume for publication, and authorize

them to issue it for the use of the Congregations within the bounds; and hereby strongly recommend that when Hymns are employed in Divine Wor- ship this Collection be adopted.

PEEFACE.

This volume, comprising PSALTER and HYMX-BOOK, has been prepared -with the greatest care by a number of the ministers and elders of the Presbyterian Church in England ; and it is now issued, according to the instructions of the Synod, for the use of the congregations within the bounds.

The first division consists of the PSALMS OF DAVID, in the metrical version with which all are familiar ; and the position assigned to them indicates the estimation in which they are held by the compilers, and the place which it is the desire of the Church that they should continue to occupy in the service of praise.

Xo change whatever has been made on the text of these Psalms, but in the larger editions of the work it has been attempted to link them to appropriate tunes. In such editions the music appears on every page, in company with the words. This arrangement has many advantages, and it was the universal usage in earlier times. Chants have been added, as they admit of larger portions of the Psalms being sung at once than is practicable with the ordinary music ; and worship- pers will thus be enabled to use more profitably and enjoy more fully the Songs of Zion.

The second division consists of HYAIXS. In regard to these : — First. It has been the great aim and chief anxiety of the compilers to secure that they shall be thoroughly scriptural in sentiment and feeling. This they deem of much more importance than any mere poetical excellence. Accordingly, while the best pro- ductions of our most eminent hymn-writers will be found in these pages, admission has been given to many compositions, which are less remarkable for their literary merit than for the spirit which they breathe— the clearness and the warmth of their utterances, in regard both to doctrine and to experience.

Secondly. It has been considered desirable that the collection should embrace a large number of Hymns and Spiritual Songs — a number much larger than might

IV PREFACE.

"be held to be sufficient for the wants of any single congregation. Much diversity in habits of thought and feeling and great variety of taste exist in every Christian community, and it is right that in a Book of Praise, designed for general use, fitting expression should be found for all. There are many hymns at which a rigid criticism might take exception, but which are nevertheless so enshrined in popular sympathy and affection, that any collection which excluded them would be felt to be incomplete. Their presence therefore will tend to make this volume more useful and acceptable. In addition to well-known productions of favourite authors, a place has been given to others less familiar, but which have only to be known in order to become endeared to Christian hearts ; whilst some original compositions and new alternative versions of the Psalms it is hoped will be regarded as enhancing the value of the work.

Thirdly. As far as possible the Hymns are given as they were written by their authors. Only such verbal alterations have been made as were absolutely necessary to conform them to the doctrinal standards of the Church, or to the more refined taste of the nineteenth century. In a few instances, where the length of the originals precluded their insertion as a whole, some of the stanzas have been omitted, but care has been taken not to mar their symmetry or completeness.

Much care has been bestowed on the MUSIC. As is the case with many hymns, so there are tunes in which editorial judgment is anticipated or superseded by the consenting voice of the churches ; but in addition to such long-established favourites, the book contains many recent melodies which by their intrinsic merit have acquired a wide-spread popularity, and for the command of which grateful acknowledgments are due, and are hereby tendered to their authors and to the proprietors of their copyright. Apart, however, from these, it will be found that a distinctive feature of the volume is the large number of original compositions and new adaptations which it contains. For these it is indebted to some of the most distinguished of our modem musicians, and many of them, it is confidently believed, will at once take rank among the most valuable contributions which in our living day the science of harmony has made to " the service of .song in the house of the Lord."

It is the fervent prayer of the compilers that their labour may not be in vain in the Lord, but may promote the glory of His name and the edification of His Church.

PSALM I.

THAT man hath perfect "blessedness

who walketh not astray In counsel of ungodly men,

nor stands in sinners' way,

Nor sitteth in the scorner's chair :

But placeth his delight Upon God's law, and meditates

on his law day and night.

He shall be like a tree that grows

near planted by a river, Which in his season yields Ins fruit,

and Ins leaf fadeth never : 1

And all he doth shall prosper welL

4 The wicked are not so ;

But like they are unto the chaff, Which, wind drives to and fro.

5 In judgment therefore shall not stand

such as ungodly are ; Nor in th' assembly of the just shall wicked men appear.

6 For why ? the way of godly men

unto the Lord is known : Whereas the way of wicked men shall quite be overthrown.

And, for possession, I to thee will give earth's utmost line.

9 Thou shalt, as with a weighty rod of iron, break them all ; And, as a potter's sherd, thou shalt them dash in pieces small.

10 JSTow therefore, kings, be wise ; be

ye judges of the earth : [taught,

11 Serve God in fear, and see that ye

join trembling with your mirth.

12 Kiss ye the Son, lest in his ire

ye perish from the way, If once his wrath begin to burn : bless'd all that on him stay.

1 0 LOKD, how are my foes increas'd 1

against me many rise.

2 Many say of my soul, For him

in God no succour lies.

3 Yet thou my shield and glory art,

th' uplifter of mine head.

4 I cry'd, and, from his holy hill,

the Lord me answer made.

PSALM II.

1 WHY rage the heathen 1 and vain

why do the people mind ? [things

2 Kings of the earth do set themselves,

and princes are combin'd,

To plot against the Lord, and his Anointed, saying thus,

3 Let us asunder break their bands,

and cast their cords from us.

4 He that in heaven sits shall laugh ;

the Lord shall scorn them all.

5 Then shall he speak to them in wrath,

in rage he vex them shall.

6 Yet, notwithstanding, I have him

to be my King appointed ;

And over Sion, my holy hill,

I have him King anointed.

7 The sure decree I will declare ;

the Lord hath said to me, Thou art mine only Son ; this day I have begotten thee.

8 Ask of me, and for heritage

the heathen I'll make thine ;

5 I laid me down and slept, I wak'd ;

for God sustained me.

6 I will not fear though thousands ten

set round against me be.

7 Arise, 0 Lord ; save me, my God ;

for thou my foes hast stroke All on the cheek-bone, and the teeth of wicked men hast broke.

8 Salvation doth appertain

unto the Lord alone : Thy blessing, Lord, for evermore thy people is upon.

God of my righteousness : Have mercy, hear my pray'r ; thou hast enlarg'd me in distress.

2 0 ye the sons of men ! how long

will ye love vanities 1 How long my glory turn to shame, and will ye follow lies 1

the godly man doth chuse : The Lord, when I on him do call, to hear will not refuse.

is that which many say : But of thy countenance the light, Lord, lift on us alway.

7 Upon my heart, bestoY>T'd by thee,

and quiet sleep will take ;

Because thou only me to dwell

in safety, Lord, dost make.

5 PSALM V.

1 GIVE ear unto my words, 0 Lord,

my meditation weigh.

2 Hear my loud cry, my Xing, my God ;

for I to thee will pray.

3 Lord, thou shalt early hear my voice :

I early will direct My pray'r to thee ; and, looking up, an answer will expect.

4 For thou art not a God that doth

in wickedness delight ; Neither shall evil dwell with thee,

5 Nor fools stand in thy sight.

All that ill-doers are thou hat'st ;

6 Cutt'st off that liars be : The bloody and deceitful man

abhorred is by thee.

7 But I into thy house will come

in thine abundant grace ; And I will worship in thy fear toward thy holy place.

8 Because of those mine enemies,

Lord, in thy righteousness Do thou me lead ; do thou thy way make straight before my face.

9 For in their mouth there is no truth,

their inward part is ill ; Their throat's an open sepulchre, their tongue doth flatter stilL

10 0 God, destroy them ; let them be

by their own counsel quell' d :

Them for their many sins cast out,

for they 'gainst thee rebelTd.

11 But let all joy that trust in thee,

and still make shouting noise ; For them thou sav'st : let all that love thy name in thee rejoice.

12 For, Lord, unto the righteous man

thou wilt thy blessing yield : With favour thou wilt compass him about, as with a shield.

PSALM VI.

1 LORD, in thy wrath rebuke me not ; Nor in thy hot rage chasten me.

2 Lord, pity me, for I am weak : Heal me, for my hones vexed be.

3 My soul is also vexed sore ;

But, Lord, how long stay wilt thou make?

4 Return, 0 Lord, my soul set free ; 0 save me, for thy mercies' sake.

5 Because those that deceased are

Of thee shall no remembrance have ; And who is he that will to thee Give praises lying in the grave ?

6 I with my groaning weary am, I also all the night my bed Have caused for to swim ; and I With tears my couch have watered.

7 Mine eye, consum'd with grief, grows

old, Because of all mine enemies.

8 Hence from me, wicked workers all ; For God hath heard my weeping cries.

9 God hath my supplication heard, My pray'r received graciously.

10 Sham'd and sore vex'd be all my foes, Sham'd and back turned suddenly.

6 PSALM VI. SECOND VERSION.

1 IN thy great indignation,

0 Lord, rebuke me not ; Nor on me lay thy chast'ning hand in thy displeasure hot.

2 Lord, 1 am weak, therefore on me

have mercy, and me spare : Heal me, 0 Lord, because thou know'st my bones much vexed are.

3 My soul is vexed sore : but, Lord,

how long stay wilt thou make ?

4 Eeturn, Lord, free my soul ; and save

me, for thy mercies' sake.

5 Because of thee in death there shall

no more remembrance be : Of those that in the grave do lie, who shall give thanks to thee ?

6 I with my groaning weary am,

and all the night my bed I caused for to swim ; with tears my couch I watered.

7 By reason of my vexing grief

mine eye consumed is ; It waxeth old, because of all that be mine enemies.

8 But now, depart from me, all ye

that work iniquity : For why? the Lord hath heard my voice, when I did mourn and cry.

9 Unto my supplication

the Lord did hearing give : When I to him my prayer make,

the Lord will it receive. 10 Let all be sham'd and troubled sore,

that en'mies are to me ; Let them turn back, and suddenly

ashamed let them be.

*T PSALM VII.

1 0 LOED my God, in thee do I

my confidence repose : Save and deliver me from all my persecuting foes ;

2 Lest that the enemy my soul

should, like a lion, tear, In pieces rending it, while there is no deliverer.

3 0 Lord my God, if it be so

that I committed this ; If it be so that, in my hands iniquity there is :

Sfecmbtcmte.

4 If I rewarded ill to him

that was at peace with, me ; (Yea, ev'n the man that without cause my foe was I did free ;)

5 Then let the foe pursue and take

my soul, and my life thrust Down to the earth, and let him lay mine honour in the dust.

6 Rise in thy wrath, Lord, raise thyself,

for my foes raging be ; And, to the judgment which thou hast commanded, wake for me.

7 So shall th' assembly of thy folk

about encompass thee : Thou therefore, for their sakes, return unto thy place on high.

8 The Lord he shall the people judge :

my judge, JEHOVAH, be, After my righteousness, and mine integrity in me.

9 0 let the wicked's malice end ;

but stablish stedfastly The righteous : for the righteous God the hearts and reins doth try. 10 In God, who saves th' upright in heart, is my defence and stay.

1 1 God just men judgeth, God is wroth

with ill men ev'ry day.

12 If he do not return again,

then he his sword Avill whet ; His bow he hath already bent, and hath it ready set :

1 3 He also hath for him prepar'd

the instruments of death ; Against the persecutors he his shafts ordained hath.

14 Behold, he with iniquity

doth travail, as in birth ; A mischief he conceived hath, and falsehood shall bring forth.

15 He made a pit, and digg'd it deep,

another there to take ; But he is fall'n into the ditch which he himself did make.

16 Upon his own head his mischief

shall be returned home ; His vi'lent dealing also down on his own pate shall come.

17 According to his righteousness

the Lord I'll magnify ; And will sing praise unto the name of God that is most high.

HOW excellent in all the earth, Lord, our Lord, is thy name !

Who hast thy glory far advanc'd above the starry frame.

From infants' and from sucklings' mouth thou didest strength ordain,

For thy foes' cause, that so thou might'st th' avenging foe restrain.

i When I look up unto the heav'ns, which thine own fingers fram'd, Unto the moon, and to the stars, which were by thee ordain'd ;

: Then say I, What is man, that he remember'd is by thee 1

Or what the son of man, that thou so kind to him should'st be ]

For thou a little lower hast him than the angels made ;

With glory and with dignity thou crowned hast his head.

Of thy hands' works thou mad'st him lord,

all under's feet didst lay ; All sheep and oxen, yea, and beasts

that in the field do stray ;

Fowls of the air, fish of the sea, all that pass through the same.

How excellent in all the earth, Lord, our Lord, is thy name !

1 LOED, thee I'll praise with all my

thy wonders all proclaim. [heart,

2 In thee, most High, I'll greatly joy,

and sing unto thy name.

3 When back my foes were turn'd, they

and perish'd at thy sight : [fell,

4 For thou maintain'dst my right and

on throne sat'st judging right, [cause;

5 The heathen thou rebuked hast,

the wicked overthrown ; Thou hast put o ut their names , that they may never more be known.

6 0 en'my ! now destructions have

an end perpetual : Thou cities raz'd, perish'd with them is their memorial,

7 God shall endure for aye ; he doth

for judgment set his throne ;

8 In righteousness to judge the world,

justice to give each one.

9 God also will a refuge be

for those that are oppress'd ; A refuge will he be in times

of trouble to distress'd. 10 And they that know thy name, in thee

their confidence will place : For thou hast not forsaken them

that truly seek thy face.

110 sing ye praises to the Lord that dwells in Sion hill ; And all the nations among his deeds record ye still.

12 When he enquireth after blood,

he then rememb'reth them : The humble folk he not forgets that call upon his name.

13 Lord, pity me ; behold the grief

which I from foes sustain ; Ev'n thou, who from the gates of death dost raise me up again ;

14 That I, in Sion's daughters' gates,

may all thy praise advance ; And that I may rejoice always in thy deliverance.

15 The heathen are sunk in the pit

which they themselves prepar'd ; And in the net which they have hid their own feet fast are snar'd.

1 6 The Lord is by the judgment known

which he himself hath wrought : The sinners' hands do make the snares wherewith themselves are caught.

o

1 7 They who are wicked into hell

each one shall turned be ; And all the nations that forget to seek the Lord most high.

18 For they that needy are shall not

forgotten be alway ; The expectation of the poor shall not be lost for aye.

19 Arise, Lord, let not man prevail ;

judge heathen in thy sight :

20 That they may know themselves but

the nations, Lord, affright. [men,

7 His mouth, with cursing, fraud, deceit,

is fill'd abundantly ; And underneath his tongue there is mischief and vanity.

8 He closely sits in villages ;

he slays the innocent : Against the poor that pass him by his cruel eyes are bent.

9 He, lion-like, lurks in his den ;

he waits the poor to take • And when he draws him in his net, his prey he doth him make.

1 0 Himself he humbleth very low,

he croucheth down withal, That so a multitude of poor may by his strong ones fall.

1 1 He thus hath said within his heart,

The Lord hath quite forgot ; He hides his countenance, and he for ever sees it not.

12 0 Lord, do thou arise ; 0 God,

lift up thine hand on high : Put not the meek afflicted ones out of thy memory.

10 PSALM X.

1 WHEREFORE is it that thou, 0

dost stand from us afar % [Lord,

And wherefore hidest thou thyself when times so troublous are %

2 The wicked in his loftiness

doth persecute the poor : In these devices they have fram'd let them be taken sure.

3 The wicked of his heart's desire

doth talk with boasting great ; He blesseth him that's covetous, whom yet the Lord doth hate.

4 The wicked, through his pride of face,

on God he doth not call ; And in the counsels of his heart the Lord is not at all.

5 His ways they always grievous are ;

thy judgments from his sight Removed are : at all his foes he puifeth with despight.

G Within his heart he thus hath said, I shall not moved be ; And no adversity at all shall ever come to me.

13 Why is it that the wicked man

thus doth the Lord despise 1 Because that God will it require he in his heart denies.

14 Thou hast it seen ; for their mischief

and spite thou wilt repay : The poor commits himself to thee ; thou art the orphan's stay.

15 The arm break of the wicked man,

and of the evil one ; Do thou seek out his wickedness, until thou findest none.

16 The Lord is king through ages all,

ev'n to eternity ; The heathen people from his land are perish'd utterly.

17 0 Lord, of those that humble are

thou the desire didst hear ; Thou wilt prepare their heart, and thou to hear wilt bend thine ear ;

18 To judge the fatherless, and those

that are oppressed sore ; That man, that is but sprung of earth, may them oppress no more.

11 PSALM XT.

I IX the Lord do put my trust ;

how is it then that ye Say to my soul, Flee, as a bird,

unto your mountain high ? For, lo, the wicked bend their bow,

their shafts on string they fit, That those who upright are in heart

they privily may hit. If the foundations be destroy'd,

what hath the righteous done ? God in his holy temple is,

in heaven is his throne : His eyes do see, his eyelids try

men's sons. The just he proves : But his soul hates the wicked man,

and him that vi'lence loves. I Snares, fire and brimstone, furious

on sinners he shall rain : [storms, This, as the portion of their cup,

doth unto them pertain. Because the Lord most righteous doth

in righteousness delight j And with a pleasant countenance

beholdeth the upright.

12 PSALM XII.

1 HELP, Lord, because trie godly man

doth daily fade away ; And from among the sons of men the faithful do decay.

2 Unto his neighbour ev'ry one

doth utter vanity : They with a double heart do speak, and lips of flattery.

3 God shall cut off all flatt'ring lips,

tongues that speak proudly thus,

4 We'll with our tongue prevail, our lips

are ours : who's lord o'er us 1

5 For poor oppress'd, and for the sighs

of needy, rise will I, Saith God, and him in safety set from such as him defy.

they be like silver try'd In earthen furnace, seven times that hath been purify'd.

7 Lord, thou shalt them preserve and

for ever from this race. [keep

8 On each side walk the wicked, when

vile men are high in place.

13 PSALM XIII.

1 HOW long wilt thou forget me, Lord ?

shall it for ever be 1 0 how long shall it be that thou wilt hide thy face from me ?

2 How long take counsel in my soul,

still sad in heart, shall 1 1 How long exalted over me shall be mine enemy %

3 0 Lord my God, consider well,

and answer to me make : Mine eyes enlighten, lest the sleep of death me overtake :

4 Lest that mine enemy should say,

Against him I prevail' d ; And those that trouble me rejoice, when I am mov'd and fail'd.

5 But I have all my confidence

thy mercy set upon ; My heart within me shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 I will unto the Lord my God

sing praises cheerfully, Because he hath his bounty shown to me abundantly.

14 PSALM XIV.

1 THAT there is not a God, the fool

doth in his heart conclude : They are corrupt, their works are vile • not one of them doth good.

2 Upon men's sons the Lord from heav'n

did cast his eyes ahroad, To see if any understood, and did seek after God.

3 They altogether filthy are,

they all aside are gone ; And there is none that doeth good, yea, sure there is not one.

4 These workers of iniquity

do they not know at all, That they my people eat-as bread, and on God do not call ? 6 There fear'd they much; for God is with the whole race of the just.

6 You shame the counsel of the prxir

because God is his trust.

7 Let Isr'el's help from Sion come :

wben back the Lord shall bring

His captives, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall sing.

15 PSALM XV.

1 WITHIN" thy tabernacle, Lord,

who shall abide with thee 1 And in thy high and holy hill who shall a dweller be 1

2 The man that walketh uprightly,

and worketh righteousness, And as he thinketh in his heart, so doth he truth express.

3 "Who doth not slander with his tongue,

nor to his friend doth hurt ; ISTor yet against his neighbour doth take up an ill report.

4 In whose eyes vile men are despis'd ;

but those that God do fear He honoureth ; and changeth not, though to his hurt he swear.

5 His coin puts not to usury,

nor take reward will he Against the guiltless. "Who doth thus shall never moved be.

PSALM XYI

1 LOKD, keep me ; for I trust in thee.

2 To God thus was my speech, Thou art my Lord ; and unto thee

my goodness doth not reach :

3 To saints on earth, to th' excellent,

where my delight's all plac'd.

4 Their sorrows shall be multiply'd

to other gods that haste : Of their drink-offerings of blood

I will no off'ring make ; Yea, neither I their very names

up in my lips will take.

5 God is of mine inheritance

and cup the portion ; The lot that fallen is to me thou dost maintain alone.

6 Unto me happily the lines

in pleasant places fell j Yea, the inheritance I got in beauty doth excel.

7 I bless the Lord, because he doth

by counsel me conduct ; And in the seasons of the night my reins do me instruct.

Before me still the Lord I set :

sith it is so that he Doth ever stand at my right hand,

I shall not moved be. 9 Because of this my heart is glad,

and joy shall be exprest Ev'n by my glory ; and my flesh

in confidence shall rest.

1 0 Because my soul in grave to dwell

shall not be left by thee ; Xor wilt thou give thine Holy One corruption to see.

11 Thou wilt me shew the path of life :

of joys there is full store Before thy face ; at thy right hand are pleasures evermore.

Vj PSALM XVII.

1 LOKD, hear the right, attend my cry,

unto my pray'r give heed, That doth not in hypocrisy from feigned lips proceed.

2 And from before thy presence forth

my sentence do thou send : Toward these things that equal are do thou thine eyes intend.

death's snares did me prevent.

6 In my distress I call'd on God,

cry to my God did I ; He from his temple heard my voice, to his ears came my cry.

8 Up from his nostrils came a smoke,

9 He also bowed down the heav'ns,

and thence he did descend ; And thickest clouds of darkness did under his feet attend.

10 And he upon a cherub rode,

and thereon he did fly ; Yea, on the swift wings of the wind his flight was from on high.

1 1 He darkness made his secret place :

about him, for his tent, Bark waters were, and thickest clouds of th' airy firmament.

12 And at the brightness of that light,

wli ieli was before his eye, His thick clouds pass'd away, hailstones and coals of fire did fly.

did thunder in his ire ; And there the Highest gave his voice, hailstones and coals of fire.

16 And from above the Lord sent down;

and took me from below ;

From many waters he me drew,

which would me overflow.

17 He me reliev'd from my strong foes,

and such as did me hate ; Because he saw that they for me too strong were, and too great.

18 They me prevented in the day

of my calamity ; But even then the Lord himself a stay was unto me.

1 9 He to a place where liberty

and room was hath me brought ; Because he took delight in me, he my deliv'rance wrought.

20 According to my righteousness

he did me recompense,

He me repaid according to my hands' pure innocence.

21 For I God's ways kept, from my God

did not turn wickedly.

22 His judgments were before me, I

his laws put not from me.

23 Sincere before him was my heart ;

with him upright was I ; And watchfully I kept myself from mine iniquity.

24 After my righteousness the Lord

hath recompensed me, After the cleanness of my hands appearing in his eye.

25 Thou gracious to the gracious art,

to upright men upright :

26 Pure to the pure, fro ward thou kyth'st

unto the froward wight.

27 For thou wilt the afflicted save

in grief that low do lie : But wilt bring down the countenance of them whose looks are high.

that it shall shine full bright : The Lord my God will also make my darkness to be light.

19 PSALM XIX.

THE heav'ns God's glory do declare, the skies his hand-works preach :

2 Day utters speech to day, and night

to night doth knowledge teach.

3 There is no speech nor tongue to which

their voice doth not extend :

4 Their line is gone through all the earth,

their words to the world's end. In them he set the sun a tent ;

5 Who, bridegroom-like, forth goes Erom's chamber, as a strong man doth

to run his race rejoice.

6 Erom heav'n's end is his going forth,

circling to th' end again ; And there is nothing from his heat that hidden doth remain.

7 God's law is perfect, and converts

the soul in sin that lies : God's testimony is most sure, and makes the simple wise.

8 The statutes of the Lord are right,

and do rejoice the heart : The Lord's command is pure, and doth light to the eyes impart.

9 Unspotted is the fear of God, and doth endure for ever : The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

10 They more than gold, yea, much fine

to be desired are : [gold,

Than honey, honey from the comb that droppeth, sweeter far.

11 Moreover, they thy servant warn

how he his life should frame : A great reward provided is for them that keep the same.

1 2 Who can his errors understand 1

0 cleanse thou me within

13 Erom secret faults. Thy servant keep

from all presumptuous sin : And do not suffer them to have

dominion over me : Then, righteous and innocent,

1 from much sin shall be.

14 The words which from my mouth pro-

ceed, the thoughts sent from my heart, Accept, 0 Lord, for thou my strength and mv Redeemer art.

22 PSALM XXII.

MY God, my God, why hast thou me

forsaken 1 why so far Art thou from helping me, and from my words that roaring are 1 ! All day, my God, to thee I cry, yet am not heard by thee ; And in the season of the night I cannot silent be. \ But thou art holy, thou that dost

inhabit Isr'el's praise, L Our fathers hop'd in thee, they hop'd,

and thou didst them release. ) When unto thee they sent their cry, to them deliv'rance came : Because they put their trust in thee, they were not put to shame. 3 But as for me, a worm I am, and as no man am prizM : Reproach of men I am, and by the people am despis'd. 7 All that me see laugh me to scorn ; shoot out the lip do they ; They nod and shake their heads at me, and, mocking, thus do say,

8 This man did trust in God, that he

would free him by his might : Let him deliver him, sith he had in him such delight.

9 But thou art he out of the womb

that didst me safely take ; When I was on my mother's breasts thou me to hope didst make.

10 And I was cast upon thy care,

ev'n from the womb till now ; And from my mother's belly, Lord, my God and guide art thou.

1 1 Be not far off, for grief is near,

and none to help is found.

12 Bulls many compass me, strong bulls

of Bashan me surround.

1 3 Their mouths they open'd wide on me,

upon me gape did they, Like to a lion ravening and roaring for his prey.

14 Like water I'm pour'd out, my bones

all out of joint do part : Amidst my bowels, as the wax so melted is my heart.

Out of the roaring lion's mouth do thou me shield and save :

For from the horns of unicorns an ear to me thou crave.

I will shew forth thy name unto those that my brethren are ;

Amidst the congregation thy praise I will declare.

Praise ye the Lord, who do him fear •

him glorify all ye The seed of Jacob ; fear him all

24 For he despis'd not nor abhorr'd tli' afflicted's misery ;

Nor from him hid his face, but heard when he to him did cry.

my praise shall be of thee ; My vows before them that him fear shall be perform'd by me.

26 The meek shall eat, and shall be fill'd ;

they also praise shall give Unto the Lord that do him seek : your heart shall ever live.

27 All ends of th' earth remember shall,

and turn the Lord unto ;

All kindreds of the nations

to him shall homage do :

28 Because the kingdom to the Lord

doth appertain as his ; Likewise among the nations the Governor he is.

29 Earth's fat ones eat, and worship shall :

all who to dust descend Shall bow to him ; none of them can his soul from death defend.

30 A seed shall service do to him ;

unto the Lord it shall Be for a generation reckon'd in ages all.

31 They shall come, and they shall declare

his truth and righteousness Unto a people yet unborn, and that he hath done this.

PSALM XXIII,

1 THE Lord' s my shepherd, I'll not want,

2 He makes me down to lie

In pastures green : lie leadeth mo the quiet waters by.

3 My soul he doth restore again j

and me to walk doth make Within the paths of righteousness, ev'n for his own name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale.

yet will I fear none ill :

For thou art with me ; and thy rod and staff me comfort still.

My table thou hast furnished

in presence of my foes ;. My head thou dost with oil anoint,

Goodness and mercy all my life

shall surely follow me : And in God's house for evermore

my dwelling-placo shall be.

8 Let earth, and all that live therein,

with rev'rence fear the Lord ; Let all the world's inhabitants dread him with one accord.

the Lord doth set his eye ; Ev'n those who on his mercy do

with confidence rely. From death to free their soul, in dearth

life unto them to yield. Our soul doth wait upon the Lord ;

he is our help and shield. Sith in his holy name we trust,

our heart shall joyful be. Lord, let thy mercy be on us,

as we do hope in thee.

34 PSALM xxxiv.

1 GOD will I "bless all times ; his praise

my mouth shall still express.

2 My soul shall "boast In God : the meek

shall hear with joy fulness.

3 Extol the Lord with me, let us

exalt his name together.

4 I sought the Lord, he heard, and did

me from all fears deliver.

5 They look'dtoliim, and lighten'd were :

not shamed were their faces.

6 This poor man cry'd, God heard, and

him from all his distresses, [sav'd

7 The angel of the Lord encamps,

and round encompasseth All those about that do him fear, and them delivereth.

8 0 taste and see that God is good :

who trusts in him is bless'd.

9 Fear God his saints : none that him fear

shall he with want oppress'd. 10 The lions young may hungry he, and they may lack their food : But they that truly seek the Lord shall not lack any good.

110 children, hither do ye come, and unto me give ear ; I shall you teach to understand how ye the Lord should fear.

12 "What man is he that life desires,

to see good would live long ?

1 3 Thy lips refrain from speaking guile,

and from ill words thy tongue.

14 Depart from ill, do good, seek peace,

pursue it earnestly.

15 God's eyes are on the just; his ears

are open to their cry.

1 6 The face of God is set against

those that do wickedly, That he may quite out from the earth cut off their memory.

17 The righteous cry unto the Lord,

he unto them gives ear ; And they out of their troubles all by him delivered are,

18 The Lord is ever nigh to them

that be of broken sp'rit ;

To them he safety doth afford

that are in heart contrite.

19 The troubles that afflict the just

in number many be ; But yet at length out of them all The Lord doth set him free.

20 He carefully his bones doth keep,

whatever can befall ; That not so much as one of them can broken be at all.

21 111 shall the wicked slay ; laid waste

shall be who hate the just.

22 The Lord redeems his servants' souls ;

none perish that him trust. 35 PSALM XXXV.

1 PLEAD, Lord, with those that plead :

and fight with those that fight with me.

2 Of shield and buckler take thou hold,

stand up mine help to be.

3 Draw also out the spear, and do

against them stop the way That me pursue : unto my soul, I'm thy salvation, say.

4 Let them confounded be and sham'd

that for my soul have sought : Who plot my hurt turn'd back be they,

and to confusion brought.

5 Let them be like unto the chaff

that flies before the wind ;

And let the angel of the Lord

pursue them hard behind.

6 With darkness cover thou their way,

and let it slipp'ry prove ;

And let the angel of the Lord

pursue them from above.

7 For without cause have they for me

their net hid in a pit, They also have without a cause for my soul digged it.

8 Let ruin seize him unawares ;

his net he hid withal Himself let catch ; and in the same destruction let him fall.

9 My soul in God shall joy ; and glad

in his salvation be : 10 And all my bones shall say, 0 Lord,

who is like unto thee, Which dost the poor set free from him

that is for him too strong ; The poor and needy from the man

that spoils and does him wrong 1

PSALM XXXV.— continued.

11 False witnesses rose ; to my charge

things I not knew they laid.

12 They, to the spoiling of my soul,

me ill for good repaid.

13 But as for me, when they were sick,

in sackcloth sad I mourn'd : My humbled soul did fast, my pray'r into my bosom turn'd.

1 4 Myself I did behave as he

had been my friend or brother j I heavily bow'd down, as one that mourneth for his mother.

15 But in my trouble they rejoic'd,

gath'ring themselves together ; Yea, abjects vile together did

themselves against me gather : I knew it not ; they did me tear, and quiet would not be. 1 G With mocking hypocrites, at feasts they gnash'd their teeth at me.

1 7 How long, Lord, look'st thou on 1 from

destructions they intend [those Rescue my soul, from lions young my darling do defend.

18 1 will give thanks to thee, 0 Lord,

within th' assembly great ; And where much people gather'd are thy praises forth will set.

19 Let not my wrongful enemies

proudly rejoice o'er me ; Nor who me hate without a cause, let them wink with the eye.

20 For peace they do not speak at all ;

but crafty plots prepare Against all those within the land that meek and quiet are.

21 With mouths set wide, they 'gainst me

Ha, ha ! our eye doth see. [said,

22 Lord, thou hast seen, hold not thy

Lord, be not far from me. [peace ;

23 Stir up thyself; wake, that thou may'st

judgment to me afford, Ev'n to my cause, 0 thou that art my only God and Lord.

24 0 Lord my God, do thou me judge

after thy righteousness ; And let them not their joy 'gainst me triumphantly express :

25 Nor let them say within their hearts,

Ah, we would have it thus ; Nor suffer them to say, that he is swallow'd up by us.

26 Sham'd and confounded be they all

that at my hurt are glad ; Let those against me that do boast with shame and scorn be clad.

27 Let them that love my righteous cause

be glad, shout, and not cease

To say, The Lord be magnify'd,

who loves his servant's peace.

28 Thy righteousness shall also be

declared by my tongue ; The praises that belong to thee speak shall it all day long.

36 PSALM XXXVI.

1 THE wicked man's transgression

within my heart thus says, Undoubtedly the fear of God is not before his eyes.

2 Because himself he flattereth

in his own blinded eye, Until the hatefulness be found of his iniquity.

3 Words from his mouth proceeding are,

fraud and iniquity : He to be wise, and to do good, hath left off utterly.

4 He mischief, lying on his bed,

most cunningly doth plot : He sets himself in ways not good, ill he abhorreth not.

5 Thy mercy, Lord, is in the heav'ns \

thy truth doth reach the clouds :

6 Thy justice is like mountains great ;

thy judgments deep as floods : Lord, thou preservest man and beast,

7 How precious is thy grace !

Therefore in shadow of thy wings men's sons their trust shall place.

8 They with the fatness of thy house

shall be well satisfy' d ; From rivers of thy pleasures thou wilt drink to them provide.

9 Because of life the fountain pure

remains alone with thee ; And in that purest light of thine we clearly light shall see.

10 Thy loving-kindness unto them

continue that thee know ; And still on men upright in heart thy righteousness bestow.

11 Let not the foot of cruel pride

come, and against me stand ; And let me not removed be, Lord, by the wicked's hand.

12 There fallen are they, and ruined,

that work iniquities : Cast down they are, and never shall be able to arise.

3T ' PSALM XXXVII.

1 FOE evil doers fret thou not

thyself unquietly ; Nor do thou envy bear to those that work iniquity.

2 For, even like unto the grass,

soon be cut down shall they ; And, like the green and tender herb, they wither shall away.

3 Set thou thy trust upon the Lord,

and be thou doing good ; And so thou in the land shalt dwell, and verily have food.

4 Delight thyself in God ; he'll give

thine heart's desire to thee.

5 Thy way to God commit, him trust,

it bring to pass shall he.

6 And, like unto the light, he shall

thy righteousness display ; And he thy judgment shall bring forth like noon-tide of the day.

7 Rest in the Lord, and patiently

wait for him : do not fret For him who, prosp'ring in his way, success in sin doth get.

8 Do thou from anger cease, and wrath

see thou forsake also : Fret not thyself in any wise, that evil thou shoidd'st do.

9 For those that evil doers are

shall be cut off and fall : But those that wait upon the Lord the earth inherit shall.

10 For yet a little while, and then

the wicked shall not be ; His place thou shalt consider well, but it thou, shalt not see.

11 But by inheritance the earth

the meek ones shall possess ; ;They also shall delight themselves in an abundant peace.

1 2 The wicked plots against the just,

and at him whets his teeth :

13 The Lord shall laugh at him, because

his day he coming seeth.

1 4 The wicked have drawn out the sword,

and bent their bow, to slay The poor and needy, and to kill men of an upright way.

C. M.

^irribgc.

4_

15 But their own sword, which they have

shall enter their own heart ; [drawn,

Their bows which they have bent shall

and into pieces part. [break,

16 A little that a just man hath

is more and better far Than is the wealth of many such as lewd and wicked are.

1 7 For sinners' arms shall broken be ;

but God the just sustains ;

1 8 God knows the just man's days, and still

their heritage remains.

19 They shall not be asham'd when they

the evil time do see ; And when the days of famine are they satisfy'd shall be.

20 But wicked men, and foes of God,

as fat of lambs, decay ; They shall consume, yea, into smoke they shall consume away.

The wicked borrows, but the same

again he doth not pay ; Whereas the righteous mercy shews,

and gives his own away.

For such as blessed be of him

the earth inherit shall ; And they that cursed are of him

shall be destroyed all.

A good man's footsteps by the Lord

are ordered aright ; And in the way wherein he walks

he greatly doth delight.

21

oo

23

24 Although he fall, yet shall he not

be cast down utterly ; Because the Lord with his own hand Upholds him mightily.

25 I have been young, and now am old,

yet have I never seen The just man left, nor that his seed for bread have beggars been.

26 He's ever merciful, and lends :

his seed is bless'd therefore.

27 Depart from evil, and do good,

and dwell for evermore.

28 For God loves judgment, and his saints

leaves not in any case ; They are kept ever : but cut off shall be the sinner's race.

29 The just inherit shall the land,

and ever in it dwell :

30 The just man's mouth doth wisdom

speak ; his tongue doth judgment tell.

31 Tn's heart the law is of his God,

his steps slide not away.

32 The wicked man doth watch the just,

and seeketh him to slay.

33 Yet him the Lord will not forsake,

nor leave him in his hands : The righteous will he not condemn, when he in judgment stands.

34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way,

and thee exalt shall he Th' earth to inherit ; when cut off the wicked thou shalt see.

35 I saw the wicked great in pow'r,

spread like a green bay-tree :

36 He pass'd, yea, was not j him I sought,

but found he could not be.

37 Mark thou the perfect, and behold

the man of uprightness ; Because that surely of this man the latter end is peace.

38 But those men that transgressors are

shall be destroy'd together ; The latter end of wicked men shall be cut off for ever.

39 But the salvation of the just

is from the Lord above ; He in the time of their distress their stay and strength doth prove,

40 The Lord shall help, and them deliver

he shall them free and save From wicked men ; because in him their confidence they have. 38 PSALM XXXVIII.

1 IN thy great indignation, 0 Lord, rebuke me not ; Nor on me lay thy chast'ning hand, in thy displeasure hot.

For in me fast thine arrows stick, thine hand doth press me sore :

And in my flesh there is no health, nor soundness any more.

This grief I have, because thy wrath

is forth against me gone ; And in my bones there is no rest,

for sin that I have done.

Because gone up above mine head

my great transgressions be ; And, as a weighty "burden, they

too heavy are for me. My wounds do stink, and are corrupt ;

my folly makes it so. I troubled am, and much bow'd down ;

all day I mourning go.

For a disease that loathsome is so fills my loins with pain,

That in my weak and weary ilesh no soundness doth remain.

So feeble and infirm am I,

and broken am so sore, That, through disquiet of my heart,

I have been made to roar.

9 0 Lord, all that I do desire is still before thine eye ; And of my heart the secret groans not hidden are from thee.

10 My heart doth pant incessantly,

my strength doth quite decay ; As for mine eyes, their wonted light is from me gone away.

11 My lovers and my friends do stand

at distance from my sore ; And those do stand aloof that were kinsmen and kind before.

12 Yea, they that seek my life lay snares :

who seek to do me wrong Speak things mischievous, and deceits imagine all day long.

13 But, as one deaf, that heareth not,

I suffer' d all to pass ; I as a dumb man did become, whose mouth not open'd was :

] 4 As one that hears not, in whose mouth are no reproofs at all.

1 5 For, Lord, I hope in thee ; my God,

thou'lt hear me when I call.

16 For I said, Hear me, lest they should

rejoice o'er me with pride ;

And o'er me magnify themselves,

when as my foot doth slide.

1 7 For I am near to halt, my grief

is still before mine eye :

18 For I'll declare my sin, and grieve

for mine iniquity.

19 But yet mine en'mies lively are,

and strong are they beside ; And they that hate me wrongfully are greatly multiply' d.

20 And they for good that render ill,

as en'mies me withstood ; Yea, ev'n for this, because that I do follow what is good.

21 Forsake me not, 0 Lord ; my God,

far from me never be.

22 0 Lord, thou my salvation art,

haste to give help to me.

39 PSALM XXXIX.

1 I SAID, I will look to my ways,

lest with my tongue I sin : In sight of wicked men my mouth with bridle I'll keep in.

2 With silence I as dumb became,

I did myself restrain From speaking good; but then the more increased was my pain.

3 My heart within me waxed hot ;

and, while I musing was, The fire did burn ; and from my tongue these words I did let pass :

4 Mine end, and measure of my days,

0 Lord, unto me show What is the same ; that I thereby my frailty well may know.

5 Lo, thou my days an handbrendth

mine age is in thine eye [mad'st ; As nothing : sure each man at best is wholly vanity.

1 I WAITED for the Lord my God,

and patiently did bear ; At length to me he did incline my voice and cry to hear.

2 He took me from a fearful pit,

And from the miry clay, And on a rock he set my feet, establishing my way.

3 He put a new song in my mouth,

our God to magnify : Many shall see it, and shall fear, and on the Lord rely.

4 0 blessed is the man whose trust

upon the Lord relies ; Respecting not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

5 O Lord my God, full many are

So pants my longing soul, 0 God, that come to thee I may.

doth thirst : when shall I near Unto thy countenance approach, and in God's sight appear %

4 My soul is poured out in me,

Why me forgett'st thou so ? Why, for my foes' oppression,

thus mourning do I go ? 10 'Tis as a sword within my bones,

when my foes me upbraid ; Ev'n when by them, Where is thy God?

'tis daily to me said. 110 why art thou cast down, my soul 1

why, thus with grief opprest, Art thou disquieted in me %

in God still hope and rest : Eor yet I know I shall him praise,

who graciously to me The health is of my countenance,

yea, mine own God is he.

PSALM XLIV.

0 GOD, we with our ears have heard,

our fathers have us told, What works thou in their days hadst

ev'n in the days of old. [done,

Thy hand did drive the heathen out,

and plant them in their place ; Thou didst afflict the nations,

hut them thou didst increase. For neither got their sword the land,

nor did their arm them save ; But thy right hand, arm, countenance ;

for thou them favour gave. Thou art my King : for Jacob, Lord,

deliv'rances command. [foes,

Through thee we shall push down our

that do against us stand : We, through thy name, shall tread down

that ris'n against us have. [those Tor in my bow I shall not trust,

nor shall my sword me save. But from our foes thou hast us sav'd,

our haters put to shame. In God we all the day do boast,

and ever praise thy name. But now we are cast off by thee, and us thou putt'st to shame ;

And when our armies do go forth, thou go'st not with the same.

10 Thou mak'st us from the enemy,

faint-hearted, to turn back ; And they who hate us for themselves our spoils away do take.

11 Like sheep for meat thou gavest us ;

'mong heathen cast we be.

1 2 Thou didst for nought thy people sell ;

their price enrich' d not thee.

13 Thou mak'st us a reproach to be

unto our neighbours near ; Derision and a scorn to them that round about us are.

14 A b}r-word also thou dost us

among the heathen make ; The people, in contempt and spite, at us their heads do shake.

15 Before me my confusion

continually abides ; And of my bashful countenance the shame me ever hides :

1 6 For voice of him that doth reproach,

and speaketh blasphemy ; By reason of th' avenging foe, and cruel enemy.

20 If we God's name forgot, or stretch'd

to a strange god our hands,

21 Shall not God search this out? for he

GOD is our refuge and our strength,

in straits a present aid ; Therefore, although the earth remove,

avc will not be afraid :

Though hills amidst the seas be cast ;

Though waters roaring make, And troubled be ; yea, though the hills

by swelling seas do shake.

A river is, whose streams do glad

the city of our God ; The holy place, wherein the Lord

most high hath his abode.

God in the midst of her doth dwell ; nothing shall her remove :

The Lord to her an helper will, and that right early, prove.

6 The heathen rag'd tumultuously,

the kingdoms moved were :

The Lord God uttered his voice,

the earth did melt for fear.

7 The Lord of hosts upon our side

doth constantly remain : The God of Jacob's our refuge, us safely to maintain.

8 Come, and behold what wondrous works

have by the Lord been wrought ; Come, see what desolations he on the earth hath brought.

9 Unto the ends of all the earth

Avars into peace he turns : The bow he breaks, the spear he cuts,

in fire the chariot burns. 10 Be still, and know that I am God :

among the heathen I Will be exalted ; 1 on earth

will be exalted high.

1 1 Our God, who is the Lord of hosts is still upon our side ; The God of Jacob our refuge for ever will abide.

And then the heavens shall Ins righteousness declare :

Because the Lord himself is he by whom men judged are.

and call'd the earth upon, Ev'n from the rising of the sun unto his going down.

2 From out of Sion, his own hill,

where the perfection high Of beauty is, from thence the Lord hath shined gloriously.

3 Our God shall come, and shall no more

he silent, but speak out : Before him fire shall waste, great storms shall compass him about.

4 He to the heavens from above,

and to the earth below, Shall call, that he his judgments may before his people show.

5 Let all my saints together be

unto me gathered ; Those that by sacrifice with me a covenant have .made.

G And then the heavens shall declare his righteousness abroad : Because the Lord himself doth come ; none else is judge but God.

7 Hear, 0 my people, and I'll speak \

0 Israel by name, Against thee I will testify ; God, ev'n thy God, I am.

8 I for thy sacrifices few

reprove thee never will, Nor for burnt-off rings to have been before me offer'd still.

9 I'll take no bullock nor he-goats

from house nor folds of thine :

3 They altogether filthy are,

they all are backward gone ; And there is none that doeth good, no, not so much as one.

do they not know at all, That they'my people eat as bread, and on God do not call 1

5 Ev'n there they were afraid, and stood

For God his bones that thee besieg'd

despised are of God.

unto my words at length.

3 For they that strangers are to me

do np against me rise ; Oppressors seek my soul, and God set not before their eyes.

4 The Lord my God my helper is,

lo, therefore I am bold : He taketh part with ev'ry one that doth my soul uphold.

5 Unto mine enemies he shall

nischief and ill repay : 0 for thy truth's sake cut them off, and sweep them clean away.

G I will a sacrifice to thee

give with free willingness ; Thy name, 0 Lord, because 'tis good, with praise I will confess.

7 For he hath me delivered from all adversities ;

And his desire mine eye hath seen upon mine enemies.

55 PSALM LY.

1 LORD, hear my pray'r, hide not thyself

from my entreating voice :

2 Attend and hear me ; in my plaint

I mourn and make a noise.

3 Because of th' en'my's voice, and for

lewd men's oppression great : On me they cast iniquity, and they in wrath me hate.

4 Sore pain'd within me is my heart :

death's terrors on me fall.

5 On me comes trembling, fear and dread

o'erwhelmed me withal.

6 0 that I, like a dove, had wings,

said I, then would I flee ^Far hence, that I might find a place where I in rest might be.

7 Lo, then far off I wander would,

and in the desert stay ;

8 From windy storm and tempest I

would haste to 'scape away.

9 0 Lord, on them destruction bring,

and do their tongues divide ; For in the city violence and strife I have espy'd.

10 They day and night upon the walls do go about it round : There mischief is, and sorrow there in midst of it is found.

PSALM LY.

11 Abundant wickedness there is

within her inward part ; And from her streets deceitfulness and guile do not depart.

12 He was no foe that me reproach' d,

then that endure I could ; Nor hater that did 'gainst me boast, from him me hide I would.

1 3 But thou, man, who mine equal, guide,

and mine acquaintance wast :

1 4 Wejoin'd sweet counsels, to God's house

in company we past.

15 Let death upon them seize, and down

let them go quick to hell ; For wickedness doth much abound among them where they dwell.

1 6 I'll call on God : God will me save.

17 I'll pray, and make a noise

At ev'ning, morning, and at noon ; and he shall hear my voice.

18 He hath my soul delivered,

that it in peace might be From battle that against me was ; for many were with me.

20

— continued.

19 The Lord shall hear, and them afflict,

of old who hath abode : Because they never changes have,

therefore they fear not God. 'Gainst those that were at peace with him

he hath put forth his hand : The covenant that he had made,

by breaking he profan'd. More smooth than butter were his

while in his heart was war ; [words, His speeches were more soft than oil,

and yet drawn swords they are.

22 Cast thou thy burden on the Lord,

and he shall thee sustain ; Yea, he shall cause the righteous man unmoved to remain.

23 But thou, 0 Lord my God, those men

in justice shalt o'erthrow, And in destruction's dungeon dark

at last shalt lay them low : The bloody and deceitful men

shall not live half their days : But upon thee with confidence

I will depend always.

thy mercy unto me Do thou extend ; because my soul doth put her trust in thee :

Yea, in the shadow of thy wings

my refuge I will place, Until these sad calamities

do wholly overpass.

2 My cry I will cause to ascend

unto the Lord most high ; To God, who doth all things for me perform most perfectly.

3 From heav'n he shall send down, and me

from his reproach defend

That would devour me : God his truth

and mercy forth shall send. My soul among fierce lions is,

I firebrands live among, Men's sons, whose teeth are spears and a sharp sword is their tongue, [darts. Be thou exalted very high

above the heav'ns, 0 God ; Let thou thy glory be advanc'd

o'er all the earth abroad. My soul's bow'd down ; for they a net

have laid, my steps to snare : Into the pit which they have digg'd for me, they fallen are.

7 My heart is fix'd, my heart is fix'd,

myself I'll early raise.

9 I'll praise thee 'mong the people, Lord ;

'mong nations sing will I : 10 For great to heav'n thy mercy is,

58 PSALM LVIII.

1 DO ye, O congregation,

indeed speak righteousness ? 0 ye that are the sons of men, judge ye with uprightness?

2 Yea, ev'n within your very hearts

ye wickedness have done ; And ye the vi'lence of your hands do weigh the earth upon.

3 The wicked men estranged are,

ev'n from the very womb ; They, speaking lies, do stray as soon as to the world they come.

4 Unto a serpent's poison like

their poison doth appear ; Yea, they are like the adder deaf, that closely stops her ear •

5 That so she may not hear the voice

of one that charm her would, No, not though he most cunning were, and charm most wisely could.

6 Their teeth, 0 God, within their mouth

break thou in pieces small ;

10

11

The great teeth break thou out, 0 Lord, of these young lions all.

Let them like waters melt away, which downward still do flow :

In pieces cut his arrows all, when he shall bend his bow.

Like to a snail that melts away,

let each of them be gone ; Like woman's birth untimely, that

they never see the sun.

He shall them take away before your pots the thorns can find,

Both living, and in fury great, as with a stormy wind.

The righteous, when he vengeance sees,

he shall be joyful then ; The righteous one shall wash his feet

in blood of wicked men.

So men shall say, The righteous man

reward shall never miss : And verily upon the earth

a God to judge there is.

1 MY God, deliver me from those

that are mine enemies ; And do thou me defend from those that up against me rise.

2 Do thou deliver me from them

that work iniquity \ And give me safety from the men of bloody cruelty.

3 For, lo, they for my soul lay wait :

the mighty do combine Against me, Lord ; not for my fault, nor any sin of mine.

4 They run, and, without fault in me,

themselves do ready make : Awake to meet me with thy help : and do thou notice take.

5 Awake therefore, Lord God of hosts,

thou God of Israel, To visit heathen all : spare none

that wickedly rebel. G At ev'ning they go to and fro ;

they make great noise and sound, Like to a dog, and often walk

about the city round.

7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth,

and in their lips are swords : For they do say thus, Who is he that now doth hear our words'?

8 But thou, 0 Lord, slialt laugh at them,

and all the heathen mock.

9 While he's in pow'r I'll wait on thee ;

for God is my high rock.

10 He of my mercy that is God

betimes shall me prevent ; Upon mine en'mies God shall let me see mine heart's content.

11 Them slay not, lest my folk forget ;

but scatter them abroad By thy strong pow'r ; and bring them 0 thou our shield and God. [down,

1 2 For their mouth's sin, and for the words

that from their lips do fly, Let them be taken in their pride ; because they curse and lie.

1 3 In wrath consume them, them consume,

that so they may not be : And that in Jacob God doth rule to th' earth's ends let them see.

14 At ev'ning let thou them return,

making great noise and sound, Like to a dog, and often walk about the city round.

15 And let them wander up and down,

in seeking food to eat ; And let them grudge when they shall be satisfy'd with meat. [not

at morn thy mercy praise : For thou to me my refuge wast, and tow'r, in troublous days.

therein didst breaches make :

Do thou thereof the breaches heal,

He in God's presence his abode

for evermore shall have : 0 do thou truth and mercy both

And so will I perpetually sing praise unto thy name ;

That having made my vows, I may each day perform the same.

1 MY soul with expectation

depends on God indeed ; My strength and my salvation doth from him alone proceed.

2 He only my salvation is,

and my strong rock is he : He only is my sure defenee ; much mov'd I shall not be.

3 How long will ye against a man

plot mischief? ye shall all

Be slain ; ye as a tott'ring fence

shall be, and bowing wall.

4 They only plot to cast him down

from his excellency : They joy in lies ; with mouth they bless, but they curse inwardly.

5 My soul, wait thou with patience

upon thy God alone ; On him dependeth all my hope and expectation.

6 He only my salvation is,

and my strong rock is he : He only is my sure defence : I shall not moved be.

7 In God my glory placed is,

and my salvation sure ; In God the rock is of my strength, my refuge most secure.

8 Ye people, place your confidence

in him continually ; Before him pour ye out your heart : God is our refuge high.

9 Surely mean men are vanity,

and great men are a lie ; In balance laid, they wholly are more light than vanity.

10 Trust ye not in oppression,

in robb'ry be not vain ; On wealth set not your hearts, when as increased is your gain.

1 1 God hath it spoken once to me,

yea, this I heard again, That power to Almighty God alone doth appertain.

12 Yea, mercy also unto thee

belongs, 0 Lord, alone : For thou according to his work rewardest ev'ry one.

Lord, to my voice give ear ; My life save from the enemy,

of whom I stand in fear. Me from their secret counsel hide

that work iniquity : Who do their tongues with malice whet,

ev'n sharp and bitter words : That they may at the perfect man

in secret aim their shot ; Yea, suddenly they dare at him

to shoot, and fear it not. In ill encourage they themselves,

and their snares close do lay :

Together conference they have ; Who shall them see % they say.

They have search'd out iniquities, a perfect search they keep :

Of each of them the inward thought, and very heart, is deep.

God shall an arrow shoot at them, and wound them suddenly :

So their own tongue shall them con- all who them see shall fly. [found ;

And on all men a fear shall fall,

God's works they shall declare ; Tor they shall wisely notice take

what these his doings are. In God the righteous shall rejoice,

and trust upon his might ; Yea, they shall greatly glory all

in heart that are upright.

prevail against me do : But as for our transgressions,

them purge away shalt thou. Bless'd is the man whom thou dost chuse,

thine answer dost express : Therefore the ends of all the earth,

and those afar that be Upon the sea, their confidence,

0 Lord, will place in thee. ! "Who, being girt with pow'r, sots fast

by his great strength the hills.

7 Who noise of seas, noise of their waves,

and people's tumult, stills.

8 Those in the utmost parts that dwell

are at thy signs afraid : Th' outgoings of the morn and ev'n by thee are joyful made,

9 The earth thou visit'st, wat'ring it ;

thou mak'st it rich to grow With God's full flood ; thou corn pre- when thou provid'st it so. [par'st,

10 Her rigs thou wat'rest plenteously,

her furrows settelest : With show'rs thou dost her mollify, her spring by thee is blest,

11 So thou the year most lib'rally

dost with thy goodness crown ; And all thy paths abundantly on us drop fatness down.

12 They drop upon the pastures wide,

that do in deserts lie ;

The little hills on ev'ry side

rejoice right pleasantly.

13 With flocks the pastures clothed be,

the vales with corn are clad j And now they shout and sing to thee, for thou hast made them glad.

aloft your voices raise.

2 Sing forth the honour of his name,

and glorious make his praise.

3 Say unto God, How terrible

in all thy works art thou ! Through thy great pow'r thy foes to thee shall be constrain'd to bow.

4 All on the earth shall worship thee,

they shall thy praise proclaim In songs : they shall sing cheerfully unto thy holy name.

5 Come, and the works that God hath

with admiration see : [wrought

In's working to the sons of men most terrible is he.

6 Into dry land the sea he turn'd,

and they a passage had ; Ev'n marching through the flood onfoot, there we in him were glad.

7 He ruleth ever by his pow'r ;

his eyes the nations see :

0 let not the rebellious ones lift up themselves on high.

8 Ye people, bless our God ; aloud

the voice speak of his praise :

9 Our soul in life who safe preserves,

our foot from sliding stays.

10 For thou didst prove and try us, Lord,

as men do silver try ;

1 1 Brought'st us into the net, and mad'st

bands on our loins to He,

12 Thouhastcaus'dmenrideo'erour heads;

and though that we did pass Through fire and water, yet thou us to a wealthy place, [brought'st

13 I'll bring burnt-off'rings to thy house ;

to thee my vows I'll pay,

14 Whichmy lips utter' d, mymouthspake,

when trouble on me lay.

15 Burnt-sacrifices of fat rams

with incense I will bring ; Of bullocks and of goats I will present an offering.

16 All that fear God, come, hear, I'll tell

what he did for my soul.

17 1 with my mouth unto him cry'd,

my tongue did him extol.

18 If in my heart I sin regard,

the Lord me will not hear :

1 9 But surely God me heard, and to

my prayer's voice gave ear.

20 0 let the Lord, our gracious God,

for ever blessed be, TMio turned not my pray'r from him, nor yet his grace from me.

PSALM LXVII. second version. I

1 LORD, unto us be merciful,

do thou us also bless ; And graciously cause shine on us the brightness of thy face :

2 That so thy way upon the earth

to all men may be known ; Also among the nations all thy saving health be shown.

3 0 let the people praise thee, Lord ;

let people all thee praise.

4 0 let the nations be glad,

and sing for joy always :

For rightly thou shalt people judge, and nations rule on earth.

5 Let people praise thee, Lord ; let all

the folk praise thee with mirth.

6 Then shall the earth yield her increase \

God, our God, bless us shall.

7 God shall us bless ; and of the earth

the ends shall fear him all.

68 PSALM LXVIII.

1 LET God arise, and scattered let all his en'mies be \ 6

And let all those that do him hate before his presence flee.

As smoke is driv'n, so drive thou them ;

as fire melts wax away, Before God's face let wicked men

so perish and decay.

But let the righteous be glad : let them before God's sight

Be very joyful ; yea, let them rejoice with all their might.

To God sing, to his name sing praise :

extol him with your voice, That rides on heav'n, by his name J AH,

before his face rejoice.

Because the Lord a father is

unto the fatherless ; God is the widow's judge, within

his place of holiness.

God doth the solitary set

in fam'lies : and from bands The chain'd doth free ; but rebels do inhabit parched lands.

PSALM LXVTII.

7 0 God, what time thou didst go forth 1 3

before thy people's face ; And when through the great wilderness thy glorious marching was ;

8 Then at God's presenceshook the earth,

then drops from heaven fell ; This Sinai shook before the Lord, the God of Israel.

9 0 God, thou to thine heritage

didst send a plenteous rain, Whereby thou, when it weary was, didst it refresh again.

10 Thy congregation then did make

their habitation there : Of thine own goodness for the poor, 0 God, thou didst prepare.

1 1 The Lord himself did give the word,

the word abroad did spread ; Great was the company of them the same who published.

12 Kings of great armies foiled were,

and forc'd to flee away ; And women, who remained at home, did distribute the prey.

18

—continued.

Though ye have lien among the pots,

like doves ye shall appear, Whose wings with silver, and with gold

whose feathers cover'd are. n^^

When there th' Almighty scatter' d like Salmon's snow 'twas white.

God's hill is like to Bashan hill, like Bashan hill for height.

Why do ye leap, ye mountains high % this is the hill where God

Desires to dwell ; yea, God in it for aye will make abode.

God's chariots twenty thousand are, thousands of angels strong ;

In's holy place God is, as in mount Sinai, them among.

Thou hast, 0 Lord, most glorious,

ascended up on high ; And in triumph victorious led

captive captivity :

Thou hast received gifts for men,

for such as did rebel ; Yea, ev'n for them, that God the Lord

in midst of them midit dwell.

of our salvation God ; Who daily with his benefits

us plenteously doth load. He of salvation is the God,

who is our God most strong ; And unto God the Lord from death

the issues do belong. But surely God shall wound the head

of those that are his foes ; The hairy scalp of him that still

on in his trespass goes. God said, My people I will bring

again from Bashan hill ; Yea, from the sea's devouring depths

them bring again I will ; That in the blood of enemies

thy foot imbru'd may be, And of thy dogs dipp'd in the same

69 PSALM LXIX.

1 SAVE me, 0 God, because the floods

do so environ me, That ev'n unto my very soul come in the waters be.

2 I downward in deep mire do sink,

where standing there is none : I am into deep waters come, where floods have o'er me gone.

3 I weary with my crying am,

my throat is also dry'd ; Mine eyes do fail, while for my God I waiting do abide.

4 Those men that do without a cause

bear hatred unto me, Than are the hairs upon my head

in number more they be : They that would me destroy, and are

mine en'mies wrongfully, Are mighty : so what I took not,

to render forc'd was I.

5 Lord, thou my folly know'st, my sins

not covcr'd are from thee. G Let none that wait on thee be sham'd Lord God of hosts, for me.

0 Lord, the God of Israel,

let none, who search do make, And seek thee, be at any time confounded for my sake.

7 For I have borne reproach for thee,

my face is hid with shame.

8 To brethren strange, to mother's sons

an alien I became.

9 Because the zeal did eat me up,

which to thine house I bear ; And the reproaches cast at thee, upon me fallen are.

10 My tears and fasts, t' afflict my soul,

were turned to my shame.

11 When sackcloth I did wear, to them

a proverb I became.

12 The men that in the gate do sit

against me evil spake ; They also that vile drunkards weie, of me their song did make.

13 But, in an acceptable time,

my pray'r, Lord, is to thee : In truth of thy salvation, Lord, and mercy great, hear me.

Deliver me out of the mire,

from sinking do me keep ; Free me from those that do me hate,

and from the waters deep. Let not the flood on me prevail,

whose water overflows ; Xor deep me swallow, nor the pit

her mouth upon me close. Hear me, 0 Lord, because thy love

and kindness is most good ; Turn unto me, according to

thy mercies' multitude. Xor from thy servant hide thy face :

I'm troubled, soon attend. Draw near my soul, and it redeem ;

me from my foes defend. To thee is my reproach well known,

my shame, and my disgrace : Those that mine adversaries be

are all before thy face. Reproach hath broke my heart : I'm full

of grief : I look'd for one To pity me, but none I found ;

comforters found I none.

21 They also bitter gall did give

unto me for my meat : They gave me vinegar to drink, when as my thirst was great.

22 Before them let their table prove

a snare ; and do thou make Their welfare and prosperity a trap themselves to take.

3 Let thou their eyes so darken'd be, that sight may them forsake ; And let their loins be made by thee continually to shake.

24 Thy fury pour thou out on them,

and indignation ; And let thy wrathful anger, Lord, fast hold take them upon.

25 All waste and desolate let be

their habitation ; And in their tabernacles all inhabitants be none.

26 Because liim they do persecute,

whom thou didst smite before ;

They talk unto the grief of those

whom thou hast wounded sore.

27 Add thou iniquity unto

their former wickedness ; And do not let them come at all into thy righteousness.

28 Out of the book of life let them

be raz'd and blotted quite ; Among the just and righteous let not their names be writ.

and he will Sion save, That they may dwell therein, and it

in sure possession have.

And they that are his servants' seed

inherit shall the same ; So shall they have their dwelling there that love his blessed name.

0 LORD, my hope and confidence

is plac'd in thee alone ; Then let thy servant never be

put to confusion. And let me, in thy righteousness,

from thee deliv'rance have ; Cause me escape, incline thine ear

unto me, and me save. Be thou my dwelling-rock, to which

I ever may resort : Thou gav'st commandment me to save,

for thou'rt my rock and fort. Free me, my God, from wicked hands,

hands cruel and unjust : For thou, 0 Lord God, art my hope,

and from my youth my trust.

6 Thou from the womb didst hold me up •

thou art the same that me Out of my mother's bowels took \ I ever will praise thee.

7 To many I a wonder am ;

but thou'rt my refuge strong.

8 Fill'd let my mouth be with thy praise

and honour all day long.

9 0 do not cast me off, when as

old age doth overtake me ; And when my strength decayed is, then do not thou forsake me.

10 For those that are mine enemies against me speak with hate ; And they together counsel take that for my soul lay wait.

PSALM LXXII. 0 LORD, thy judgments give the king

his son thy righteousness. With right he shall thy people judge,

thy poor with uprightness. The lofty mountains shall bring forth

unto the people peace ; Likewise the little hills the same

shall do by righteousness. The people's poor ones he shall judge,

the needy's children save ; And those shall he in pieces break

who them oppressed have. They shall thee fear, while sun and moon

do last, through ages all. Like rain on mown grass he shall drop,

or show'rs on earth that fall.

The just shall nourish in his days,

and prosper in his reign : He shall, while doth the moon endure,

abundant peace maintain.

8 His large and great dominion shall

from sea to sea extend : It from the river shall reach forth unto earth's utmost end.

9 They in the wilderness that dwell

bow down before him must ; And they that are his enemies shall lick the very dust.

10 The kings of Tarshish, and the isles, to him shall presents bring ; And unto him shall offer gifts Sheba's and Seba's king.

73 PSALM LXXIII.

1 YET God is good to Israel,

to each pure-hearted one.

2 But as for me, my steps near slipp'd,

my feet were almost gone.

3 For I envious was, and grudg'd

the foolish folk to see, "When I perceiv'd the wicked sort enjoy prosperity.

4 For still their strength continueth firm ;

their death of bands is free.

5 They are not toil'd like other men,

nor plagu'd, as others be. G Therefore their pride, like to a chain, them compasseth about ; And, as a garment, violence doth cover them throughout.

7 Their eyes stand out with fat ; they have

more than their hearts could wish.

8 They are corrupt ; their talk of wrong

both lewd and lofty is.

9 They set their mouth against the

in their blasphemous talk ; [heav'ns And their reproaching tongue through- the earth at large doth walk, [out 10 J I i . 4 people oftentimes for this look back, and turn about ;

Sith waters of so full a cup to these are poured out.

11 And thus they say, How can it be

that God these things doth know ? Or, Can there in the Highest be knowledge of things below ?

12 Behold, these are the wicked ones,

yet prosper at their will Tn worldly things ; they do increase in wealth and riches stili

13 1 verily have done in vain

my heart to purify ; To no effect in innocence washed my hands have I.

14 For daily, and all day throughout,

great plagues I suffer' d have; Yea, ev'ry morning I of new did chastisement receive.

15 If in this manner foolishly

to speak I would intend, Thy children's generation,

behold, I should offend. 1G When I this thought to know, it was

too hard a thing for me ; 17 Till to God's sanctuary I went,

then I their end did see.

18 Assuredly thou didst them set

a slipp'ry place upon ; Them suddenly thou castedst down into destruction. ,

19 How in a moment suddenly

to ruin brought are they ! With fearful terrors utterly they are consum'd away.

20 Ev'n like unto a dream, when one

from sleeping doth arise ; So thou, 0 Lord, when thou awak'st, their image shalt despise.

21 Thus grieved was my heart in me,

and me my reins opprest :

22 So rude was I, and ignorant,

and in thy sight a beast.

23 Nevertheless, continually,

0 Lord, I am with thee : Thou dost me hold by my right hand,

and still upholdest me.

24 Thou, with thy counsel, while I live,

wilt me conduct and guide ; And to thy glory afterward receive me to abide.

25 Whom have I in the heavens high

but thee, 0 Lord, alone 1 And in the earth whom I desire besides thee there is none.

26 My flesh and heart doth faint and fail,

but God doth fail me never : For of my heart God is the strength and portion for ever.

27 For, lo, they that are far from thee

for ever perish shall ; Them that a whoring from thee go thou hast destroyed all.

28 But surely it is good for me

that I draw near to God : In God I trust, that all thy works

1 may declare abroad.

3 To these long desolations

thy feet lift, do not tarry ; For all the ills thy foes have done within thy sanctuary.

But all at once with axes now

and hammers they go to, And down the carved work thereof

they break, and quite undo.

They fired have thy sanctuary, and have defil'd the same,

By casting down unto the ground the place where dwelt thy name.

Thus said they in their hearts, Let us destroy them out of hand :

They burnt up all the synagogues of God within the land.

Our signs we do not now behold ;

there is not us among A prophet more, nor any one

that knows the time how long.

How long, Lord, shall the enemy thus in reproach exclaim ?

And shall the adversary thus always blaspheme thy name ?

Thy hand, ev'n ihy right hand of might, why dost thou thus draw back?

0 from thy bosom pluck it out for our deliv'rance' sake.

12 For certainly God is my King,

ev'n from the times of old, "Working in midst of all the earth salvation manifold.

13 The sea, by thy great pow'r, to part

asunder thou didst make ; And thou the dragons' heads, 0 Lord, "within the waters brake.

14 The leviathan's head thou brak'st

in pieces, and didst give Him to be meat unto the folk in wilderness that live.

1 5 Thou clav'st the fountain and the flood,

which did with streams abound : Thou dry'dst the mighty waters up unto the very ground. 1 G Thine only is the day, 0 Lord, thine also is the night ; And thou alone prepared hast the sun and shining light. 1 7 By thee the borders of the earth were settled ev'ry where : The summer and the winter both by thee created were.

18 That th' enemy reproached hath,

0 keep it in record ; And that the foolish people have blaspheni'd thy name, 0 Lord.

1 9 LTnto the multitude do not

thy turtle's soul deliver : The congregation of thy poor do not forget for ever.

20 Unto thy cov'nant have respect :

for earth's dark places be Full of the habitations of horrid cruelty.

21 0 let not those that be oppress'd

return again with shame : Let- those that poor and needy are give praise unto thy name.

22 Do thou, 0 God, arise and plead

the cause that is thine own : Eemember how thou art reproach'd still by the foolish one.

23 Do not forget the voice of those

that are thine enemies : Of those the tumult ever grows that do against thee rise.

75 PSALM LXXV.

1 TO thee, 0 God, do we give thanks,

we do give thanks to thee ; Because thy wondrous works declare thy great name near to be.

2 I purpose, when I shall receive

the congregation, That I shall judgment uprightly rendei to ev'ry one.

3 Dissolved is the land, with all

that in the same do dwell ; But I the pillars thereof do hear up, and stahlish well.

4 I to the foolish people said,

Do not deal foolishly ; And unto those that wicked are, Lift not your horn on high.

5 Lift not your horn on high, nor speak

6 with stubborn neck. But know, That not from east, nor west, nor south

promotion doth flow.

7 But God is judge ; he puts down one,

and sets another up.

8 For in the hand of God most high

of red wine is a cup :

'Tis full of mixture, he pours forth,

and makes the wicked all Wring out the bitter dregs thereof ; yea, and they drink them shall. 9 But I for ever will declare, I Jacob's God will praise. 10 All horns of lewd men I'll cut off; but just men's horns will raise.

; 76 PSALM LXXVI.

I 1 IN Judah's land God is well known, his name's in Isr'el great : In Salem is his tabernacle,

in Sion is his seat. There arrows of the bow he brake,

the shield, the sword, the war. More glorious thou than hills of prey, more excellent art far. i Those that were stout of heart are spoil'd, they slept their sleep outright ; And none of those their hands did find, that were the men of might. 5 When thy rebuke, 0 Jacob's God, had forth against them past, Their horses and their chariots both were in a dead sleep cast

7 Thou, Lord, ev'n thou art he that should

be fear'd; and who is he That may stand up before thy sight, if once thou angry be 1

8 From heav'n thou judgment caus'd be

the earth was still with fear, [heard ;

9 When God to judgment rose, to save

all meek on earth that were.

1 0 Surely the very wrath of man

unto thy praise redounds : Thou to the remnant of his wrath wilt set restraining bounds.

1 1 Yow to the Lord your God, and pay :

all ye that near him be, Bring gifts and presents unto him ; for to be fear'd is he.

77 PSALM LXXVII.

1 UXTO the Lord I with my voice,

I unto God did cry ; Ev'n with my voice, and unto me his ear he did apply.

2 I in my trouble sought the Lord,

my sore by night did run, And ceased not ; my grieved soul did consolation shun.

3 I to remembrance God did call,

yet trouble did remain ; And overwhelmed my spirit was, whilst I did sore complain. 7

4 Mine eyes, debarr'd from rest and sleep,

thou makest still to wake ; My trouble is so great that I unable am to speak.

5 The days of old to mind I call'd,

and oft did think upon The times and ages that are past full many years agone.

6 By night my song I call to mind,

and commune with my heart ; My sp'rit did carefully enquire how I might ease my smart.

7 For ever will the Lord cast off,

and gracious be no more 1

8 For ever is his mercy gone 1

fails his word evermore ?

9 Is't true that to be gracious

the Lord forgotten hath 1 And that his tender mercies he hath shut up in his wrath ?

10 Then did I say, That surely this

is mine infirmity : I'll mind the years of the right hand of him that is most High.

1 1 Yea, I remember will the works

performed by the Lord : The wonders done of old by thee I surely will record.

12 I also will of all thy works

my meditation make ; And of thy doings to discourse great pleasure I will take.

13 0 God, thy way most holy is

within thy sanctuary ; And what God is so great in pow'r as is our God most high ?

14 Thou art the God that wonders dost

by thy right hand most strong : Thy mighty pow'r thou hast declar'd the nations among.

15 To thine own people with thine arm

thou didst redemption bring ; To Jacob's sons, and to the tribes of Joseph that do spring.

16 The waters, Lord, perceived thee,

the waters saw thee well ; And they for fear aside did flee ; the depths on trembling fell.

17 The clouds in water forth were pour'd,

sound loudly did the sky j And swiftly through the world abroad thine arrows fierce did fly.

18 Thy thunder's voice alongst the heav'n

a mighty noise did make ; By lightnings lighten'd was the world th' earth tremble did and shake. ,

19 Thy way is in the sea, and in

the waters great thy path ; Yet are thy footsteps hid, 0 Lord ; none knowledge thereof hath.

20 Thy people thou didst safely lead,

like to a flock of sheep ; By Moses' hand and Aaron's thou didst them conduct and keep.

thereto give thou an ear ; The words that from my mouth proceed

attentively do hear. My mouth shall speak a parable,

and sayings dark of old ; The same which we have heard and

and us our fathers told. [known, We also will them not conceal

to come declare will wo : The praises of the Lord our God,

and his almighty strength, The wondrous works that he hath done,

5 His testimony and his law in Isr'el he did place, And charg'd our fathers it to show to their succeeding race ;

G That so the race which was to come might well them learn and know ; And sons unborn, who should arise, might to their sons them show :

7 That they might set their hope in God,

and suffer not to fall His mighty works out of their mind, hut keep his precepts all :

8 And might not, like their fathers, be

a stiff rebellious race ; A race not right in heart ; with God whose sp'rit not stedfast was.

9 The sons of Ephraim, who nor bows

nor other arms did lack, "When as the day of battle was, they faintly turned back.

1 0 They brake God's cov'nant, and refus'd

in his commands to go ;

1 1 His works and wonders they forgot,

which he to them did show.

1 2 Tilings marvellous he brought to pass ;

their fathers them beheld Within the land of Egypt done, yea, ev'n in Zoan's field.

1 3 By him divided was the sea,

he caus'd them through to pass ; And made the waters so to stand, as like an heap it was.

14 With cloud by day, with light of fire

all night, he did them guide.

15 In desert rocks he clave, and drink,

as from great depths, supply'd.

1 6 He from the rock brought streams, like

made waters to run down, [floods

17 Yet sinning more, in desert they

provok'd the Highest One.

18 Eor in their heart they tempted God,

and, speaking with mistrust, They greedily did meat require to satisfy their lust.

19 Against the Lord himself they spake,

and, murmuring, said thus, A table in the wilderness can God prepare for us %

20 Behold, he smote the rock, and thence

came streams and waters great ; But can he give his people bread ] and send them flesh to eat %

21 The Lord did hear, and waxed wroth \

so kindled was a flame 'Gainst Jacob, and 'gainst Israel up indignation came.

22 For they believ'd not God, nor trust

in his salvation had ;

23 Though clouds above he did command,

and heav'n's doors open made,

|24 And manna rain'd on them, and gave them corn of heav'n to eat

125 Man angels' food did eat ; to them he to the full sent meat.

PSALM LXXVIII

26

And in the heaven he did cause an eastern wind to blow •

And by his power he let out the southern wind to go.

27 Then flesh as thick as dust he made

to rain down them among ; And feather'd fowls, like as the sand which li'th the shore along.

28 At his command amidst their camp

these show'rs of flesh down fell, All round about the tabernacles and tents where they did dwell.

29 So they did eat abundantly,

and had of meat their fill ; For he did give to them what was their own desire and will.

30 They from their lust had not estrang?d

their heart and their desire ; But while themeatwasin their mouths,

which they did so require, God's wrath upon them came, and slew

the fattest of them all ; So that the choice of Israel,

o'ertlirown by death, did fall.

31

continued.

32 Yet, notwithstanding of all this,

they sinned still the more ; And though he had great wonders believ'dhim not therefore: [wrought,

33 Wherefore their days in vanity

he did consume and waste ; And by his wrath their wretched years away in trouble past.

34 But when he slew them, then they did

to seek him shew desire ; Yea, they return'd, and after God right early did enquire.

35 And that the Lord had been their Eock

they did remember then ; Ev'n that the high Almighty God

had their Redeemer been. 3G Yetwith their mouth theyflatter'dhim,

and spake but feignedly ; And they unto the God of truth

with their false tongues did lie. 37 For though their words were good, their

with him was not sincere ; [heart Unstedfasl and perfidious

they in his cov'naut were.

6rafmircflf.

38 But, full of pity, he forgave

their sin, them did not slay ; Xor stirr'd up all his wrath, but oft his anger turn'd away.

39 For that they were hut fading flesh

to mind he did recall ; A wind that passeth soon away and not returns at all.

40 How often did they him provoke

within the wilderness ! And in the desert did him grieve with their rebelliousness !

41 Yea, turning back, they tempted God,

and limits set upon Him, who in midst of Isr'el is the only Holy One.

42 They did not call to mind his pow'r,

nor yet the day when he Deliver'd them out of the hand of their fierce enemy ;

43 Xor how great signs in Egypt land

he openly had wrought ; What miracles in Zoan's field his hand to pass had brought.

44 How lakes and rivers ev'ry where

he turned into blood ■ So that nor man nor beast could drink of standing lake or flood.

46 He to the caterpillar gave

the fruits' of all their soil ; Their labours he deliver'd up unto the locusts' spoil.

47 Their vines with hail, their sycamores

he with the frost did blast :

48 Their beasts to hail he gave ; their flocks

hot thunderbolts did waste.

49 Fierce burning wrath he on them cast,

and indignation strong, And troubles sore, by sending forth ill angels them among.

50 He to his wrath made way • their soul

from death he did not save ; But over to the pestilence the lives of them he gave.

51 Id Egypt land the first-born all

he smote down ev'ry where ; Among the tents of Ham, ev'n these chief of their strength that were.

52 But his own people, like to sheep,

thence to go forth he made ; And he, amidst the wilderness, them, as a flock, did lead.

53 And he them safely on did lead,

so that they did not fear ; Whereas their en'mies by the sea quite overwhelmed were.

45 He brought among them swarms of flies, 54 To borders of his sanctuary

which did them sore annoy ; the Lord his people led,

And divers kinds of filthy frogs Ev'n to the mount which his right hand

he sent them to destroy. for them had purchased.

The nations of Canaan,

by his almighty hand, Before their face he did expel

out of their native land ; Which for inheritance to them

by line he did divide, And made the tribes of Israel

within their tents abide. Yet God most high they did provoke,

and tempted ever still ; And to observe his testimonies

did not incline their will : But, like their fathers, turned back,

and dealt unfaithfully : Aside they turned, like a bow

that shoots deceitfully.

For they to anger did provoke

him with their places high ; And with their graven images

mov'd him to jealousy. 59 When God heard this, he waxed wroth,

and much loath'd Isr'el then : So Shiloh's tent he left, the tent

which he had plac'd with men. And he his strength delivered

into captivity ; He left his glory in the hand

of his proud enemy. His people also he gave o'er

unto the sword's fierce rage : So sore his wrath inflamed was

against his heritage. 63 The fire consum'd their choice young

67 Moreover, he the tabernacle

of Joseph did refuse ; The mighty tribe of Ephraim he would in no wise chuse :

68 But he did chuse Jehudah's tribe

to be the rest above ; And of mount Sion he made choice, which he so much did love.

69 And he his sanctuary built

like to a palace high, Like to the earth which he did found to perpetuity.

70 Of David, that his servant was,

he also choice did make, And even from the folds of sheep was pleased him to take :

71 From waiting on the ewes with young,

he brought him forth to feed Israel, his inheritance, his people,. Jacob's seed.

72 So after the integrity

he of his heart them fed ; And by the good skill of his hands them wisely governed.

1 0 GOD, the heathen enter'd have

thine heritage ; by them Defiled is thy house : on heaps they laid Jerusalem.

2 The bodies of thy servants they

have cast forth to be meat Torav'nous fowls ; thy dear saints' flesh they gave to beasts to eat

3 Their blood about Jerusalem

like water they have shed ; And there was none to bury them when they were slain and dead.

4 Unto our neighbours a reproach

most base become are we ; A scorn and laughingstock to them that round about us be.

5 How long, Lord, shall thine anger last?

wilt thou still keep the same ? And shall thy fervent jealousy bum like unto a flame 1

6 On heathen pour thy fury forth,

that have thee never known, And on those kingdoms which thy name have never call'd upon.

7 For these are they who Jacob have

devoured cruelly ;

And they his habitation have caused waste to lie.

8 Against us mind not former sins ;

thy tender mercies show ; Let them prevent us speedily, for we're brought very low.

9 For thy name's glory help us, Lord,

who hast our Saviour been : Deliver us ; for thy name's sake, 0 purge away our sin.

before thy sight on high ; Preserve those in thy mighty pow'r that are design'd to die.

12 And to our neighbours' bosom cause

it sev'n-fold render'd be, Ev'n the reproach wherewith they have, 0 Lord, reproached thee.

13 So we thy folk, and pasture-sheep,

shall give thee thanks always ; And unto generations all

we will shew forth thy praise.

PSALM LXXX. HEAR, Isr'el's Shepherd ! like a

thou that dost Joseph guide ; Shine forth, 0 thou that dost between

the cherubims abide. In Ephraim's, and Benjamin's,

and in Manasseh's sight, 0 come for our salvation ;

stir up thy strength and might. Turn us again, 0 Lord our God,

and upon us vouchsafe To make thy countenance to shine,

and so Ave shall be safe.

0 Lord of hosts, almighty God,

how long shall kindled be Thy wrath against the prayer made

by thine own folk to thee ? Thou tears of sorrow giv'st to them

instead of bread to eat ; Yea, tears instead of drink thou giv'st

to them in measure great.

Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours round about ;

Our enemies among themselves at us do laugh and flout

Turn us again, 0 God of hosts,

and upon us vouchsafe To make thy countenance to shine,

and so we shall be safe.

8 A vine from Egypt brought thou hast,

by thine outstretched hand ; And thou the heathen out didst cast, to plant it in their land.

9 Before it thou a room didst make,

where it might grow and stand , Thou causedst it deep root to take, and it did fill the land.

10 The mountains vail'd were with its

shade, as with a covering ; Like goodly cedars were the boughs which out from it did spring.

1 1 Upon the one hand to the sea

her boughs she did out send ; On th' other side unto the flood her branches did extend.

1 2 Why hast thou then thus broken down

and ta'en her hedge away? So that all passengers do pluck, and make of her a prey.

1 3 The boar who from the forest comes

doth waste it at his pleasure ; The wild beast of the field also devours it out of measure.

14 0 God of hosts, we thee beseech,

return now unto thine ; Look down fromheav'nin love, behold, and visit this thy vine :

15 This vineyard, which thine own right

hand hath planted us among ; And that same branch, which for thv- thou hast made to be strong, [self

1 6 Burnt up it is with flaming fire,

it also is cut down : They utterly are perished,

when as thy face doth frown.

17 0 let thy hand be still upon

the Man of thy right hand, The Son of man, whom for thyself thou madest strong to stand.

18 So henceforth we will not go back,

nor turn from thee at all : 0 do thou quicken us, and we upon thy name will call

1 9 Turn us again, Lord God of hosts, and upon us vouchsafe To make thy countenance to shine, and so we shall be safe.

I should have made thee eat.

82 PSALM LXXXII.

2 How long, accepting persons vile,

will ye give judgment wrong?

3 Defend the poor and fatherless ;

to poor oppress'd do right.

4 The poor and needy ones set free ;

rid them from ill men's might.

5 They know not, nor will understand ;

in darkness they walk on :

All the foundations of the earth

out of their course are gone.

6 I said that ye are gods, and are

sons of the Highest all :

7 But ye shall die like men, and as

one of the princes fall.

8 0 God, do thou raise up thyself,

the earth to judgment call : For thou, as thine inheritance, shalt take the nations all.

1 KEEP not, 0 God, we thee entreat,

0 keep not silence now : Do thou not hold thy peace, 0 God, and still no more be thou.

2 For, lo, thine enemies a noise

tumultuously have made ; And they that haters are of thee have lifted up the head.

3 Against thy chosen people they

do crafty counsel take ; And they against thy hidden ones do consultations make.

4 Come, let us cut them off, said they,

from being a nation, That of the name of Isr'el may no more be mention.

5 For with joint heart they plot, in league

against thee they combine.

their noble men to fall ; Like Zeba and Zalmunna like, make thou their princes all ;

let us God's houses take.

14 As fire consumes the wood, as flame

doth mountains set on fire,

1 5 Chase and affright them with the storm

16 Their faces fill with shame, 0 Lord,

that they may seek thy name.

17 Let them confounded be, and vex'd,

and perish in their shame :

he'll grace and glory give ; And will withhold no good from them that uprightly do live.

12 0 thou that art the Lord of hosts,

that man is truly blest,

Who by assured confidence

on thee alone doth rest.

85 PSALM LXXXV.

1 0 LOED, thou hast been favourable

to thy beloved land : Jacob's captivity thou hast recall'd with mighty hand.

2 Thou pardoned thy people hast 10

all their iniquities ; Thou all their trespasses and sins 1 1

hast cover'd from thine eyes.

3 Thou took'st off all thine ire, and!

turn'dst 12

from thy wrath's furiousness.

4 Turn us, God of our health, and cause 13

thy wrath 'gainst us to cease. i

Shall thy displeasure thus -endure

against us without end 1 Wilt thou to generations all

thine anger forth extend 1

That in thee may thy people joy,

wilt thou not us revive ? Shew us thy mercy, Lord, to us

do thy salvation give.

I'll hearwhat God the Lord will speak : to his folk he'll speak peace,

And to his saints ; but let them not return to foolishness.

To them that fear him surely near

is his salvation ; That glory in our land may have

her habitation.

Truth met with mercy, righteousness and peace kiss'd mutually ;

Truth springs from earth, and right- eousness looks down from heaven high.

Yea, what is good the Lord shall give ;

our land shall yield increase : Justice, to set us in his steps,

shall go before his face.

PSALM LXXXVI.

86

1 0 LORD, do thou "bow down thine ear

and hear me graciously ; Because I sore afflicted am, and am in poverty.

2 Because I'm holy, let my soul

by thee preserved be : 0 thou my God, thy servant save, that puts his trust in thee,

3 Sith unto thee I daily cry,

be merciful to me.

4 Rejoice thy servant's soul ; for, Lord,

I lift my soul to thee.

5 For thou art gracious, 0 Lord,

and ready to forgive ; And rich in mercy, all that call upon thee to relieve.

6 Hear, Lord, my pray'r ; unto the voice

of my request attend :

7 In troublous times I'll call on thee ;

for thou wilt answer send.

8 Lord, there is none among the gods

that may with thee compare ; And like the works which thou hast not any work is there. [dune,

9 All nations whom thou mad'st shall come and worship rev'rently Before thy face ; and they, 0 Lord, thy name shall glorify.

10 Because thou art exceeding great,

and works by thee are done Which are to be admir'd ; and thou art God thyself alone.

1 1 Teach me thy way, and in thy truth,

0 Lord, then walk will I ; Unite my heart, that I thy name may fear continually.

12 0 Lord my God, with all my heart

to thee I will give praise ; And I the glory will ascribe unto thy name always :

13 Because thy mercy toward me

in greatness doth excel ; And thou deliver'd hast my soul out from the lowest hell

14 0 God, the proud against me rise,

and vi'lent men have met, That for my soul have sought ; and thee before them have not set.

4 I'm counted with those that go down

to pit, and no strength have.

5 Ev'n free among the dead, like them

that slain in grave do lie ; Cut off from thy hand, whom no more thou hast in memory. G Thou hast me laid in lowest pit, in deeps and darksome caves.

7 Thy wrath lies hard on me, thou hast

me press' d with all thy waves.

8 Thou hast put far from me my friends,

thou mad'st them to abhor me ; And I am so shut up, that I find no evasion for me.

9 By reason of affliction

mine eye mourns dolefully : To thee, Lord, do I call, and stretch my hands continually.

10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead ]

shall they rise, and thee bless 1

1 1 Shall in the grave thy love be told ?

in death thy faithfulness 1

12 Shall thy great wonders in the dark,

or shall thy righteousness Be known to any in the land of deep forgetfulness ?

1 6 The dreadful fierceness of thy wrath

quite over me doth go : Thy terrors great have cut me off, they did pursue me so.

I with my chosen One have made

a cov'nant graciously ; And to my servant, whom I lov'd,

to David sworn have I ;

That I thy seed establish shall

for ever to remain, And will to generations all

thy throne build and maintain.

The praises of thy wonders, Lord, the heavens shall express ;

And in the congregation of saints thy faithfulness.

For who in heaven with the Lord .

may once himself compare 1 Who is like God among the sons

of those that mighty are 1

Groat fear in meeting of the saints

with rev'rence be ador'd.

PSALM LXXXIX

In vision to thy Holy One

thou saidst, I help upon A strong one laid ; out of the folk 27

I rais'd a chosen one ; Ev'n David, I have found him out 28

a servant unto me ; And with my holy oil my King

anointed him to be. 21 With whom my hand shall stablish'd

mine arm shall make him strong, [be ; On him the foe shall not exact, 30

nor son of mischief wrong. I will beat down before his face

all his malicious foes ; I will them greatly plague who do 31

with hatred him oppose.

24 My mercy and my faithfulness 32

with him yet still shall be ; And in my name his horn and pow'r 33 men shall exalted see.

25 His hand and pow'r shall reach afar, 34

I'll set it in the sea ; And his right hand established 35

shall in the rivers be.

26 Thou art my Father, he shall cry, 36

thou art my God alone ;

— co?itinued.

And he shall say, Thou art the Eock

of my salvation. I'll make him my first-born, more high

than kings of any land. My love I'll ever keep for him,

my cov'nant fast shall stand. His seed I by my pow'r will make

for ever to endure ; And, as the days of heav'n, his throne

shall stable be, and sure. But if his children shall forsake

my laws, and go astray, And in my judgments shall not walk,

but wander from my way : If they my laws break, and do not

keep my commandements ; I'll visit then their faults with rods,

their sins with chastisements. Yet I'll not take my love from him,

nor false my promise make. My cov'nant I'll not break, nor change

what with my mouth I spake. Once by my holiness I sware,

to David I'll not lie ; His seed and throne shall, as the sun,

before me last for aye.

LORD, thou hast been our dwelling-

in generations alL [place

Before thou ever hadst "brought forth

the mountains great or small ; Ere ever thou hadst form'd the earth,

and all the world abroad ; Ev'n thou from everlasting art

to everlasting God. Thou dost unto destruction

man that is mortal turn ; And unto them thou say'st, Again,

ye sons of men, return. Because a thousand years appear

no more before thy sight Than yesterday, when it is past,

or than a watch by night. As with an overflowing flood

thou carry'st them away : They like a sleep are, like the grass

that grows at morn are they. At morn it flourishes, and grows,

cut down at ev'n doth fade. For by thine auger we're consum'd,

thy wrath makes us afraid.

8 Our sins thou and iniquities dost in thy presence place,

And sett'st our secret faults before the brightness of thy face.

9 For in thine anger all our days

do pass on to an end ; And as a tale that hath been told, so we our years do spend.

10 Threescore and ten years do sum up

our days and years, we see ; Or if, by reason of more strength, in some fourscore they be :

Yet doth the strength of such old men but grief and labour prove ;

For it is soon cut off, and we fly hence, and soon remove.

1 1 Who knows the power of thy wrath ?

according to thy fear

12 So is thy wrath : Lord, teach thou us

our end in mind to bear ;

And so to count our days, that we our hearts may still apply

To learn thy wisdom and thy truth, that we may live thereby.

g>t f ad.

13 Turn yet again to us, 0 Lord,

how long thus shall it be ? Let it repent thee now for those that servants are to thee.

14 0 with thy tender mercies, Lord,

us early satisfy ; So we rejoice shall all our days, and still be glad in thee.

15 According as the days have been, . wherein we grief have had,

And years wherein we ill have seen, so do thou make us glad.

16 0 let thy work and pow'r appear

thy servants' face before ; And shew unto their children dear thy glory evermore :

17 And let the beauty of the Lord

our God be us upon : Our handy-works establish thou, establish them each one.

PSALM XCI,

1 HE that doth in the secret place

of the most High reside, Under the shade of him that is th' Almighty shall abide.

2 I of the Lord my God will say,

He is my refuge still,

He is my fortress, and my God

and in him trust I will. Assuredly he shall thee save,

and give deliverance From subtile fowler's snare, and from

the noisome pestilence. His feathers shall thee hide ; thy trust

under his wings shall be : His faithfulness shall be a shield

and buckler unto thee. Thou shalt not need to be afraid

for terrors of the night ; Nor for the arrow that doth fly

by day, while it is light ; Nor for the pestilence, that walks

in darkness secretly : Nor for destruction, that doth waste

at noon-day openly. A thousand at thy side shall fall,

on thy right hand shall lie Ten thousand dead ; yet unto thee

it shall not once come nigh. Only thou with thine eyes shalt look,

and a beholder be ; And thou therein the just reward

of wicked men shalt see.

it is a comely thing, And to thy name, 0 thou most High, due praise aloud to sing.

2 Thy loving-kindness to shew forth

when shines the morning light ; And to declare thy faithfulness with pleasure ev'ry night,

3 On a ten-stringed instrument,

upon the psaltery, And on the harp with solemn sound, and grave sweet melody.

4 For thou, Lord, by thy mighty works

hast made my heart right glad ; And I will triumph in the works which by thine hands were made.

5 How great, Lord, are thy works ! each

of thine a deep it is : [thought

spring quickly up like grass, And workers of iniquity do flourish all apace j

Because the Lord, who constantly

my refuge is alone, Ev'n the most High, is made by thee

thy habitation ; No plague shall near thy dwelling come ;

no ill shall thee befall : For thee to keep in all thy ways

his angels charge he shall. They in their hands shall bear thee up,

still waiting thee upon ; Lest thou at any time should'st dash

thy foot against a stone.

13 Upon the adder thou shalt tread,

and on the lion strong ; Thy feet on dragons trample shall, and on the lions young.

14 Because on me lie set his love,

I'll save and set him free ; Because my great name he hath known, I will him set on high.

15 He'll call on me, I'll answer him;

1 will be with him still In trouble, to deliver him, and honour him I will

16 With length of days unto his mind

I will him satisfy ;

PSALM XCIII.

1 THE Lord doth reign, and cloth'd is he

with majesty most bright ; His works do shew him cloth'd to be,

and girt about with might. The world is also stablished,

that it cannot depart.

2 Thy throne is fix'd of old, and thou

from everlasting art.

3 The floods, 0 Lord, have lifted up,

they lifted up their voice ; The floods have lifted up their waves, and made a mighty noise.

4 But yet the Lord, that is on high,

is more of might by far Than noise of many waters is, or great sea-billows are.

5 Thy testimonies ev'ry one

in faithfulness excel ; And holiness for ever, Lord, thine house becometh well.

94 PSALM XCIV.

1 0 LORD God, unto whom alone all vengeance doth belong ;

0 mighty God, who vengeance own'st, shine forth, avenging wrong.

2 Lift up thyself, thou of the earth

the sov'reign Judge that art ; And unto those that are so proud a due reward impart.

3 How long, 0 mighty God, shall they

who lewd and wicked be, How long shall they who wicked are thus triumph haughtily ?

4 How long shall things most hard by them

be uttered and told ? And all that work iniquity to boast themselves be bold ?

5 Thy folk they break in pieces, Lord,

thine heritage oppress :

6 To widow they and stranger slay,

and kill the fatherless.

7 Yet say they, God it shall not see,

nor God of Jacob know.

8 Ye brutish people ! understand ;

fools ! when wise will ye grow 1 The Lord did plant the ear of man,

and hear then shall not he 1 He only form'd the eye, and then

shall he not clearly see ?

1 0 COME, let us sing to the Lord :

come, let us ev'ry one A joyful noise make to the Bock of our salvation,

2 Let us "before his presence come

with praise and thankful voice ; Let us sing psalms to him with grace, and make a joyful noise.

3 For God, a great God, and great King

above all gods he is.

4 Depths of the earth are in his hand,

the strength of hills is his.

5 To him the spacious sea belongs,

for he the same did make ; The dry land also from his hands its form at first did take.

6 0 come, and let us worship him,

let us bow down withal, And on our knees before the Lord our Maker let us fall

7 For he's our God, the people we

of his own pasture are, And of his hand the sheep ; to-day, if ye his voice will hear,

8 Then harden not your hearts, as in

the provocation, As in the desert, on the day of the tentation :

9 When me your fathers tempt'd and

and did my working see ; [prov'd,

1 0 Ev'n for the space of forty years

this race hath grieved me. I said, This people errs in heart, my ways they do not know :

1 1 To whom I sware in wrath, that to

my rest they should not go.

96 psalm xcvi.

1 0 SING a new song to the Lord :

sing all the earth to God.

2 To God sing, bless his name, shew still

his saving health abroad.

3 Among the heathen nations

his glory do declare ; And unto all the people shew his works that wondrous are.

4 For great's the Lord, and greatly he

is to be magnify'd ; Yea, worthy to be fear'd is he above all gods beside.

5 For all the gods are idols dumb,

which blinded nations fear ; But our God is the Lord, by whom the heav'ns created were.

6 Great honour is before his face,

and majesty divine ; Strength is within his holy place, and there doth beauty shine.

7 Do ye ascribe unto the Lord,

of people ev'ry tribe, Glory do ye unto the Lord, and mighty pow'r ascribe.

8 Give ye the glory to the Lord

that to his name is due ; Come ye into his courts, and bring an offering with you.

9 In beauty of his holiness,

0 do the Lord adore ; Likewise let all the earth throughout tremble his face before.

10 Among the heathen say, God reigns ;

the world shall stedfastly Be fix'd from moving ; he shall judge the people righteously.

1 1 Let heav'ns be glad before the Lord,

and let the earth rejoice ; Let seas, and all that is therein, cry out, and make a noise.

12 Let fields rejoice, and ev'ry thing

that springeth of the earth : Then woods and ev'ry tree shall sing with gladness and with mirth

1 3 Before the Lord ; because he comes,

to judge the earth comes he : He'll judge the world with right eous- the people faithfully. [ness,

97 PSALM XCVII.

1 GOD reigneth, let the earth be glad,

and isles rejoice each one.

2 Dark clouds him compass ; and in right

with judgment dwells his throne.

3 Fire goes before him, and his foes

it burns up round about :

4 His lightnings lighten did the world ;

earth saw, and shook throughout.

5 Hills at the presence of the Lord,

like wax, did melt away ; Ev'n at the presence of the Lord of all the earth, I say.

G The heav'ns declare his righteousness, all men his glory see.

7 All who serve graven images,

confounded let them be. Who do of idols boast themselves,

let shame upon them fall : Ye that are called gods, see that

ye do him worship all.

8 Sion did hear, and joyful was,

glad Judah's daughters were ; They much rejoie'd, 0 Lord, because thy judgments did appear.

9 For thou, 0 Lord, art high above

all things on earth that are ; Above all other gods thou art

exalted very far. 10 Hate ill, all ye that love the Lord :

his saints' souls keepeth he ; And from the hands of wicked men

he sets them safe and free. For all those that be righteous

sown is a joyful light, And gladness sown is for all those

that are in heart upright.

Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice ;

express your thankfulness, When ye into your memory

do call his holiness.

PSALM XCV1II.

O SING a new song to the Lord, for wonders he hath done :

Samuel, with them that call LTpon his name : these call'd on God, and he them answer' d all.

7 Within the pillar of the cloud

he unto them did speak : The testimonies he them taught, and laws, they did not break.

8 Thou answer'dst them, 0 Lord our God;

thou wast a God that gave Pardon to them, though on their deeds thou wouldest vengeance have.

9 Do ye exalt the Lord our God,

and at his holy hill Do ye him worship : for the Lord our God is holy still.

5 For why? the Lord our God is good, His meiey is for ever sure ;

1 I MERCY will and judgment sing,

Lord, I will sing to thee.

2 With, wisdom in a perfect way

shall my behaviour be.

0 when, in kindness unto me, wilt thou be pleas'd to come 1

1 with a perfect heart will walk

within my house at home.

3 I will endure no wicked thing

before mine eyes to be : I hate their work that turn aside, it shall not cleave to me.

4 A stubborn and a froward heart

depart quite from me shall ; A person giv'n to wickedness 1 will not know at all.

5 I'll cut him off that slandereth

his neighbour privily : The haughty heart I will not bear, nor him that looketh high.

6 Upon the faithful of the land

mine eyes shall be, that they May dwell with me : he shall me serve that walks in perfect way.

7 Who of deceit a worker is

in my house shall not dwell ; And in my presence shall he not remain that lies doth telL

8 Yea, all the wicked of the land

early destroy will I ; All from God's city to cut off that work iniquity.

1 0 LOKD, unto my prayrs' give ear,

my cry let come to thee ;

2 And in the day of my distress

hide not thy face from me. Give ear to me ; what time I call, to answer me make haste :

3 For, as an hearth, my bones are burnt,

my days, like smoke, do waste.

4 My heart within me smitten is,

and it is withered Like very grass ; so that I do forget to eat my bread.

5 By reason of my groaning voice

my bones cleave to my skin.

6 Like pelican in wilderness

forsaken I have been : I like an owl in desert am,

that nightly there doth moan ;

7 I watch, and like a sparrow am

on the house top alone.

8 My bitter en'mies all the day

reproaches cast on me ; And, being mad at me, with rage against me sworn they be.

10 Thy wrath and indignation

did cause this grief and pain ; For thou hast lift me up on high, and cast me down again.

1 1 My days are like unto a shade,

which doth declining pass ; And I am dry'd and withered, ev'n like unto the grass.

1 2 But thou, Lord, everlasting art,

and thy remembrance shall Continually endure, and be to generations all.

1 3 Thou shalt arise, and mercy have

upon thy Sion yet ; The time to favour her is come, the time that thou hast set.

14 For in her rubbish and her stones

thy servants pleasure take ; Yea, they the very dust thereof do favour for her sake.

15 So shall the heathen people fear

the Lord's most holy name ; And all the kings on earth shall dread thy glory and thy fame.

16 When Sion by the mighty Lord

built up again shall be,

In glory then and majesty

to men appear shall he.

17 The prayer of the destitute

he surely will regard ; Their prayer will he not despise, by him it shall be heard.

18 For generations yet to come

this shall be on record : So shall the people that shall be created praise the Lord.

19 He from his sanctuary's height

hath downward cast his eye ; And from his glorious throne in heav'n the Lord the earth did spy ;

20 That of the mournful prisoner

the groan ings he might hear, To set them free that unto death by men appointed are : 9

21 That they in Sion may declare

the Lord's most holy name, And publish in Jerusalem the praises of the same ;

22 When as the people gather shall

in troops with one accord, When kingdoms shall assembled be to serve the highest Lord.

23 My wonted strength and force he hath

abated in the way, And he my days hath shortened : 21 Thus therefore did I say,

My God, in mid-time of my days

take thou me not away : From age to age eternally

thy years endure and stay.

25 The firm foundation of the earth of old times thou hast laid ;

The heavens also are the work

which thine own hands have made.

26 Thou shalt for evermore endure,

but they shall perish all ; Yea, ev'ry one of them wax old, like to a garment, shall :

Thou, as a vesture, shalt them change, and they shall changed be :

27 But thou the same art, and thy years

are to eternity.

28 The children of thy servants shall continually endure ;

And in thy sight, 0 Lord, their seed shall be establish'd sure.

0 hide not thou thy face from me. Hear when I call to thee ; that day An answer speedily return :

3 My days, like smoke, consume away, And, as an hearth, my bones do burn.

1 am forgetful grown therefore To take and eat my daily bread.

5 By reason of my smart within,

And voice of my most grievous groans,

My flesh consumed is, my .skin,

All parch'd, doth cleave unto my bones.

6 The pelican of wilderness, The owl in desert, I do match ;

7 And, sparrow-like, companionless, LTpon the house's top, I watch.

8 T all day long am made a scorn, Eeproach'd by my malicious foes : The madmen are against me sworn, The men against me that arose.

9 For I have ashes eaten up,

To me as if they had been bread ; And with my drink I in my cup Of bitter tears a mixture made.

10 Because thy wrath was not appeas'd, And dreadful indignation : Therefore it was that thou mo rais'd,

11 My days are like a shade alway, Which doth declining swiftly pass ; And I am withered away,

Much like unto the fading grass.

1 2 But thou, 0 Lord, shalt still endure, From change and all mutation free, And to all generations sure

Shall thy remembrance ever he.

13 Thou shalt arise, and mercy yet Thou to mount Sion shalt extend ; Her time for favour which was set, Behold, is now come to an end,

1 4 Thy saints take pleasure in her stones, Her very dust to them is dear.

15 All heathen lands and kingly tlirones On earth thy glorious name shall fear.

1 6 God in his glory shall appear, When Sion he builds and repairs.

1 7 He shall regard and lend his ear Unto the needy's humble pray'rs :

Th' afflicted's pray'r he will not scorn.

18 All times this shall be on record : And generations yet unborn Shall praise and magnify the Lord.

19 He from his holy place look'd down, Theearthheview'dfromheav'nonliigh;

20 To hear the pris'ner's mourning groan, And free them that are doom'd to die ;

That Sion, and Jerus'lem too, His name and praise may well record, When people and the kingdoms do Assemble all to praise the Lord. My strength he weaken'd in the way, My days of life he shortened. My God, O take me not away In mid-time of my days, I said : Thy years throughout all ages last. Of old thou hast established The earth's foundation firm and fast : Thy mighty hands the heav'ns have made. 2G They perish shall, as garments do, Bat thou shalt evermore endure ; As vestures, thou shalt change them so ; And they shall all be changed sure :

27 But from all changes thou art free ; Thy endless years do last for aye.

28 Thy servants, and their seed who be, Establish'd shall before thee stay.

and not forgetful be Of all his gracious benefits he hath bestow' d on thee.

3 All thine iniquities who doth

most graciously forgive : Who thy diseases all and pains doth heal, and thee relieve.

4 Who doth redeem thy life, that thou

to death may'st not go down ; Who thee with loving-kindness doth and tender mercies crown :

I 5 Who with abundance of good things doth satisfy thy mouth ; So that, ev'n as the eagle's age, renewed is thy youth.

6 God righteous judgment executes

for all oppressed ones.

7 His ways to Moses, he his acts

made known to Isr'el's sons.

8 The Lord our God is merciful,

and he is gracious, Long-suffering, and slow to wrath, in mercy plenteous.

9 He will not chide continually,

nor keep his anger still. 10 With us he dealt not as we sinn'd, nor did requite our ill.

the earth surmounteth far ; So great to those that do him fear his tender mercies are :

12 As far as east is distant from

the west, so far hath he From ns removed, in his love, all our iniquity.

13 Such pity as a father hath

unto his children dear ; Like pity shews the Lord to such as worship him in fear.

and he our frame well knows.

And to their children's children still his righteousness extends :

BLESS God, my soul. 0 Lord my God,

thou art exceeding great ; With honour and with majesty

thou clothed art in state. With light, as with a robe, thyself

thou coverest about ; And, like unto a curtain, thou

the heavens stretchest out.

I Who of his chambers doth the beams within the waters lay ; Who doth the clouds his chariot make,

on wings of wind make way. Who naming fire his ministers, his angels sp'rits, doth make : > Who earth's foundations did lay, that it should never shake.

] Thou didst it cover with the deep, as with a garment spread : The waters stood above the hills, when thou the word but said. J But at the voice of thy rebuke they fled, and would not stay ; They at thy thunder's dreadful voice did haste them fast away.

8 They by the mountains do ascend,

and by the valley-ground Descend, unto that very place which thou for them didst found.

9 Thou hast a bound unto them set,

that they may not pass over, That they do not return again the face of earth to cover.

10 He to the valleys sends the springs,

which run among the hills :

1 1 They to all beasts of field give drink,

wild asses drink their fills.

1 2 By them the fowls of heav'n shall have

their habitation, Which do among the branches sing with delectation.

13 He from his chambers watereth

the hills, when they are dry'd : With fruit and increase of thy works the earth is satisfy' d.

14 For cattle he makes grass to grow,

lie makes the herb to spring For th' use of man, that food to him he from the earth may bring ;

31 The glory of the mighty Lord

continue shall for ever : The Lord JEHOVAH shall rejoice in all his works together.

32 Earth, as affrighted, trembleth all,

if he on it but look ; And if the mountains he but touch, they presently do smoke.

33 I will sing to the Lord most high,

so long as I shall live ; And while I being have I shall to my God praises give.

34 Of him my meditation shall

sweet thoughts to me afford ; And as for me, I will rejoice in God, my only Lord.

2 Sing ye to him, sing psalms ; proclaim

his wondrous works each one.

3 See that ye in his holy name

to glory do accord ; And let the heart of ev'ry one rejoice that seeks the Lord.

4 The Lord Almighty, and his strength,

with stedfast hearts seek ye : His blessed and his gracious face seek ye continually.

5 Think on the works that he hath done,

which admiration breed ; His wonders, and the judgments all which from his mouth proceed ;

■] 0 ye that are of Abr'ham's race, his servant well approv'n ; And ye that Jacob's children are, whom he chose for Ins own.

7 Because he, and he only, is

the mighty Lord our God ; And his most righteous judgments are in all the earth abroad.

8 His cov'nant he remember'd hath,

that it may ever stand : To thousand generations the word he did command.

9 "Which covenant he firmly made

with faithful Abraham,

And unto Isaac, by his oath,

he did renew the same :

10 And unto Jacob, for a law,

he made it firm and sure, A covenant to Israel,

which ever should endure.

1 1 He said, I'll give Canaan's land

for heritage to you ;

1 2 WTiile they were strangers there, and

in number very few : [few

1 3 WTiile yet they went from land to land

without a sure abode ;

And while through sundry kingdoms

did wander far abroad ; [they

1 -i Yet, notwithstanding, suffer' d he no man to do them wrong : Yea, for their sakes, he did reprove kings, who were great and strong.

15 Thus did he say, Touch ye not those that mine anointed be, !Nor do the prophets any harm that do pertain to me.

16 He call'd for famine on the land,

he brake the staff of bread :

17 But yet he sent a man before,

by whom they should be fed ;

Ev'n Joseph, whom unnat'rally sell for a slave did they ;

18 Whose feet with fetters they did hurt,

and he in irons lay ;

19 Until the time that his word came

to give him liberty ; The word and purpose of the Lord did him in prison try.

20 Then sent the king, and did command

that he enlarg'd should be : He that the people's ruler was did send to set him free.

21 A lord to rule his family

he rais'd him, as most fit ;

To him of all that he possess'd

he did the charge commit ;

22 That he might at his pleasure bind

the princes of the land ; And he might teach liis senators wisdom to understand.

23 The people then of Israel

clown into Egypt came ; And Jacob also sojourned within the land of Ham.

24 And he did greatly by his pow'r

increase his people there ; And stronger than their enemies they by his blessing were.

PSALM CV.

25 Their heart he turned to envy

his folk maliciously, With those that his own servants were to deal in subtilty.

26 His servant Moses he did send,

Aaron his chosen one.

27 By these his signs and wonders great

in Ham's land were made known.

Darkness he sent, and made it dark his word they did obey.

29 He turn'd their waters into blood,

and he their fish did slay.

30 The land in plenty brought forth frogs

in chambers of their kings.

31 His word all sorts of flies and lice

in all their borders brings.

32 He hail for rain, and flaming fire

into their land he sent :

33 And he their vines and fig-trees smote •

trees of their coasts he rent.

34 He spake, and caterpillars came,

locusts did much abound ;

35 Which in their land all herbs consum'd,

and all fruits of their ground.

— continued.

36 He smote all first-born in their land, chief of their strength each one.

37 With gold and silver brought them forth,

weak in their tribes were none.

38 Egypt was glad when forth they went, their fear on them did light.

39 He spread a cloud for covering, and fire to shine by night.

40 They ask'd, and he brought quails : of heav'n he filled them, [with bread

41 He open'd rocks, floods gush'd, and ran in deserts like a stream.

42 For on his holy promise he, and servant Abr'ham, thought.

43 With joy his people, his elect with gladness, forth he brought.

44 And unto them the pleasant lands he of the heathen gave ;

That of the people's labour they inheritance might have.

45 That they his statutes might observe according to his word ;

And that they might his laws obey. Give praise unto the Lord.

GIVE praise and thanks unto the Lord,

for bountiful is he ; His tender mercy doth endure

unto eternity.

2 God's mighty works who can express ?

or shew forth all his praise %

3 Blessed are they that judgment keep,

and justly do always.

4 Eemember me, Lord, with that love

which thou to thine dost bear ; With thy salvation, 0 my God, to visit me draw near :

5 That I thy chosen's good may see,

and in their joy rejoice ; And may with thine inheritance triumph with cheerful voice.

C AVe with our fathers sinned have, and of iniquity Too long we have the workers been \ we have done wickedly.

7 The wonders great, which thou, 0 Lord, didst work in Egypt land, Cur fathers, though they saw, yet them they did not understand :

And they thy mercies' multitude

kept not in memory • But at the sea, ev'n the Eed sea,

provok'd him grievously.

8 Nevertheless he saved them,

ev'n for his own name's sake ; That so he might to be well known his mighty power make.

9 When he the Bed sea did rebuke,

then dried up it was : [ness,

Through depths, as through the wilder- he safely made them pass.

10 From hands of those that hated them

he did his people save ; And from the en'my's cruel hand to them redemption gave.

1 1 The waters overwhelm'd their foes ;

• not one was left alive.

1 2 Then they believ'd his word, and praise

to liim in songs did give.

13 But soon did they his mighty works

forget unthankfully, And on his counsel and his will did not wait patiently ;

14 But much did lust in wilderness,

and God in desert tempt.

15 He gave them what they sought, but to

their soul he leanness sent.

16 And against Moses in the camp

their envy did appear ; At Aaron they, the saint of God, envious also were.

17 Therefore the earth did open wide,

and Dathan did devour, And all Abiram's company did cover in that hour.

18 Likewise among their company

a fire was kindled then ; And so the hot consuming flame burnt up these wicked men.

19 Upon the hill of Horeb they

an idol-calf did frame, A molten image they did make, and worshipped the same.

20 And thus their glory, and their God,

most vainly changed they Into the likeness of an ox that eateth grass or hay.

PSALM CYI. — continued.

21 They did forget the mighty God, that had their saviour been,

By whom such great things brought to they had in Egypt seen. [pass

22 In Ham's land he did wondrous works, things terrible did he,

When he his mighty hand and arm stretch'd out at the Red sea.

23 Then said he, He would them destroy, had not, his wrath to stay,

His chosen Moses stood in breach, that them he should not slay.

24 Yea, they despis'd the pleasant land, believed not his word :

25 But in their tents they murmured, not heark'ning to the Lord.

26 Therefore in desert them to slay he lifted up his hand :

27 'Mong nations to o'erthrow their seed, and scatter in each land.

28 They unto Baal-peor did themselves associate ;

The sacrifices of the dead they did profanely eat.

29 Thus by their lewd inventions,

they did provoke his ire ;

And then upon them suddenly

the plague brake in as fire.

30 Then Phin'has rose, and justice did,

and so the plague did cease ;

31 That to all ages counted was

to him for righteousness.

32 And at the waters, where they strove,

they did him angry make,

In such sort, that it fared ill

with Moses for their sake :

33 Because they there his spirit meek

provoked bitterly, So that he utter'd with his lips words unadvisedly.

34 Xor, as the Lord commanded them,

did they the nations slay :

35 But with the heathen mingled were,

and learn'd of them their way.

3G And they their idols serv'd, which did a snare unto them turn.

37 Their sons and daughters they to dev'ls

in sacrifice did burn.

38 In their own children's guiltless blood

their hands they did imbrue, Whom to Canaan's idols they for sacrifices slew :

So was the land defil'd with blood.

39 They stain'd with their own way,

And with their own inventions a whoring they did stray.

40 Against his people kindled was

the wrath of God therefore, Insomuch that he did his own inheritance abhor.

41 He gave them to the heathen's hand ;

their foes did them command.

42 Their en'niies them oppress'd, they were

made subject to their hand.

43 He many times deliver'd them ;

but with their counsel so They him provok'd, that for their sin they were brought very low.

44 Yet their affliction he beheld,

when he did hear their cry :

45 And he for them his covenant

did call to memory ;

After his mercies' multitude

46 he did repent : And made Them to be pitied of all those

who did them captive lead.

47 0 Lord our God, us save, and gather

the heathen from among, That we thy holy name may praise in a triumphant song.

48 Bless'd be JEHOYAH, Isr'el's God,

2 Let God's redeem'd say so, whom he

from th' en'my's hand did free ;

3 And gather'd them out of the lands,

from north, south, east, and west. 4: They stray'd in desert's pathless way, no city found to rest.

6 their soul. When straits them press, They cry unto the Lord, and lie

Such as shut up in darkness deep, and in death's shade abide,

Whom strongly hath affliction bound, and irons fast have ty'd :

1 1 Because against the words of God

they wrought rebelliously, And they the counsel did contemn of him that is most High :

12 Their heart he did bring down with

grief, they fell, no help could hare.

1 3 In trouble then they cry'd to God,

he them from straits did save.

14 He out of darkness did them bring,

and from death's shade them take ;

These bands, wherewith they had been

asunder quite he brake. [bound,

15 0 that men to the Lord would give

the bars of iron were.

and floods to wilderness ;

34 For sins of those that dwell therein,

fat land to barrenness.

35 The burnt and parched wilderness

to water-pools he brings ; The ground that was dry'd up before he turns to water-springs :

3G And there, for dwelling, he a place doth to the hungry give, That they a city may prepare commodiously to live.

37 There sow they fields, and vineyards to yield fruits of increase, [plant,

38 His blessing makes them multiply,

lets not their beasts decrease.

39 Again they are diminished,

and very low brought down, Through sorrow and affliction, and great oppression.

40 He upon princes pours contempt,

and causeth them to stray, And wander in a wilderness, wherein there is no way.

41 Yet setteth he the poor on high

from all his miseries, And he, much like unto a flock, doth make him families.

42 They that are righteous shall rejoice,

when they the same shall see ; And, as ashamed, stop her mouth shall all iniquity.

and with my glory praise.

2 Awake up psaltery and harp ;

myself I'll early raise.

3 I'll praise thee 'mong the people, Lord ;

'mong nations sing will I :

4 For above heav'n thy mercy's great,

thy truth doth reach the sky.

5 Be thou above the heavens, Lord,

exalted gloriously ; Thy glory all the earth above be lifted up on high.

6 That those who thy beloved are

delivered may be, 0 do thou save with thy right hand, and answer give to me. 10

7 God in his holiness hath said,

Herein I will take pleasure ; Shechem I will divide, and forth will Succoth's valley measure.

8 Gilead I claim as mine by right ;

Manasseh mine shall be ; Ephraim is of my head the strength ; Judah gives laws for me ;

9 Moab's my washing-pot ; my shoe

I'll over Edom throw ; Over the land of Palestine I will in triumph go.

10 0 who is he will bring me to the city fortify'd ? 0 who is he that to the land of Edom will me guide % 110 God, thou who hadst cast us off, this thing wilt thou not do ? And wilt not thou, ev'n thou, 0 God, forth with our armies go 1

12 Do thou from trouble give us help,

for helpless is man's aid.

13 Through God we shall do valiantly ;

our foes he shall down tread.

0 THOU the God of aU my praise,

do thou not hold thy peace ; For mouths of wicked men to speak

against me do not cease

The mouths of vile deceitful men

against me open'd be ; And with a false and lying tongue

they have accused me.

3 They did beset me round about

with words of hateful spight : And though to them no cause I gave, against me they did fight,

4 They for my love became my foes,

but I me set to pray.

5 Evil for good, hatred for love,

to me they did repay.

6 Set thou the wicked over him ;

and upon his right hand Give thou his greatest enemy, ev'n Satan, leave to stand.

7 And when by thee he shall be judg'c

let him condemned be ; And let his pray'r be tuni'd to sin, when he shall call on thee.

8 Few be his days, and in his room

his charge another take.

9 His children let be fatherless,

his wife a widow make.

10 His children let be vagabonds,

and beg continually ; And from their places desolate seek bread for their supply.

1 1 Let covetous extortioners

catch all he hath away : Of all for which he labour' d hath let strangers make a prey.

12 Let there be none to pity him,

let there be none at all That on his children fatherless will let his mercy fall

13 Let his posterity from earth cut oil* for ever be,

And in the folTwing age their name be blotted out by tbee.

14 Let God his father's wicke I still to remembrance call ; And never let his mother's sin be blotted out at all.

15 But let them all before the Lord

appear continually, That he may wholly from the earth cut off their memory.

1 6 Because he mercy minded not,

but persecuted still The poor and needy, that he might the broken-hearted kill.

17 As he in cursing pleasure took,

so let it to him fall ; As he delighted not to bless, so bless him not at all.

18 As cursing he like clothes put on,

into his bowels so, Like water, and into his bones, like oil down let it go.

19 Like to the garment let it be

which doth himself array, And for a girdle, wherewith he is girt about alway.

20 From God let this be their reward

that en'mies are to me, And their reward that speak against my soul maliciously.

2 1 But do thou, for thine own name's sake,

0 God the Lord, for me : Sith good and sweet thy mercy is, from trouble set me free.

22 For I am poor and indigent,

afflicted sore am I, My heart within me also is wounded exceedingly.

23 I pass like a declining shade,

am like the locust tost : 2 4 My knees through fasting weaken'd are,

my flesh hath fatness lost.

25 I also am a vile reproach

unto them made to be ; And they that did upon me look did shake their heads at me.

26 0 do thou help and succour me,

who art my God and Lord : And, for thy tender mercy's sake, safety to me afford :

27 That thereby they may know that this

is thy almighty hand ; [same,

And that thou, Lord, hast done the they may well understand.

28 Although they curse with spite, yet,

bless thou with loving voice : [Lord, Let them asham'd be when they rise ; thy servant let rejoice.

29 Let thou mine adversaries all

with shame be clothed over ; And let their own confusion them, as a mantle, cover.

30 But as for me, I with my mouth

will greatly praise the Lord ; And I among the multitude his praises will record.

31 For he shall stand at his right hand

who is in poverty, To save him from all those that would condemn his soul to die.

Sit thou at my right hand, Until I make thy foes a stool, whereon thy feet may stand.

2 The Lord shall out of Sion send

the rod of thy great pow'r : In midst of all thine enemies he thou the governor.

3 A willing people in thy day

of pow'r shall come to thee, In holy beauties from morn's womb ; thy youth like dew shall be.

4 The Lord himself hath made an oath,

.and will repent him never, Of th' order of Melchisedec thou art a priest for ever.

5 The glorious and mighty Lord,

that sits at thy right hand, Shall, in his day of wrath, strike through kings that do him withstand.

6 He shall among the heathen judge,

he shall with bodies dead The places fill : o'er many lands he wound shall ev'ry head

The brook tnat runneth in the way

with drink shall him supply ; And, for this cause, in triumph he shall lift his head on high. Ill PSALM CXI.

1 PRAISE ye the Lord : with my whole

I will God's praise declare, [heart "Where the assemblies of the just and congregations are,

2 The whole works of the Lord our God

are great above all measure, Sought out they are of ev'ry one that doth therein take pleasure,

3 His work most honourable is,

most glorious and pure, And his untainted righteousness

for ever doth endure. I His works most wonderful he hath

made to be thought upon : The Lord is gracious, and he is

full of compassion.

5 He giveth meat unto all those that truly do him fear ; And evermore his covenant he in his mind will bear.

6 Surely there is not any thing

that ever shall him move : The righteous man's memorial shall everlasting prove.

he shall not be afraid : His heart is fix'd, his confidence upon the Lord is stay'd.

8 His heart is firmly stablished,

afraid he shall not be, Until upon his enemies he his desire shall see.

9 He hath dispers'd, giv'n to the poor ;

his righteousness shall be To ages all ; with honour shall his horn be raised high.

10 The wicked shall it see, and fret, his teeth gnash, melt away : What wicked men do most desire shall utterly decay.

on high, who can compare 1 G Himself that humbleth things to see in heav'n and earth that are.

7 He from the dust doth raise the poor,

that very low doth lie ; And from the dunghill lifts the man oppress'd with poverty ;

8 That he may highly him advance,

and with the princes set ; With those that of his people are the chief, ev'n princes great.

he maketh, and to be Of sons a mother full of joy. Praise to the Lord give ye.

his kingdom Isr'el make :

Jordan was driven back.

4 Like rams the mountains, and like lambs

the hills skipp'd to and fro.

5 0 sea, why fledd'st thou ? Jordan, back

why wast thou driven so 1

6 Ye mountains great, wherefore was it

that ye did skip like rams %

And wherefore was it, little hills,

that ye did leap like lambs 1

7 0 at the presence of the Lord,

earth, tremble thou for fear, While as the presence of the God of Jacob doth appear :

did standing water bring ; And by his pow'r did turn the flint into a water-spring.

115 PSALM CXV.

1 NOT unto us, Lord, not to as,

but do thou glory take Unto thy name, ev'n for thy truth, and for thy mercy's sake.

2 0 wherefore should the heathen say,

Where is their God now gone 1

3 But our God in the heavens is,

what pleas'd him he hath done.

4 Their idols silver are and gold,

work of men's hands they he.

5 Mouths have they, hut they do not speak ;

and eyes, but do not see ;

6 Ears have they, but they do not hear ;

noses, but savour not ;

Hands, feet, but handle not, nor walk ;

nor speak they through their throat. Like them their makers are, and all

on them their trust that build. 0 Isr'el, trust thou in the Lord,

he is their help and shield. 0 Aaron's house, trust in the Lord,

their help and shield is he. Ye that fear God, trust in the Lord,

their help and shield he'll be. The Lord of us hath mindful been,

and he will bless us still : He will the house of Isr'el bless,

bless Aaron's house he will. Both small and great, that fear the Lord,

he will them surely bless. The Lord will you, you and your seed,

aye more and more increase. 0 blessed are ye of the Lord,

who made the earth and heav'n. The heav'n, ev'n heav'ns, are God's, but

earth to men's sons hath giv'n. [he The dead, nor who to silence go,

God's praise do not record. But henceforth we for ever will

bless God. Praise ye the Lord.

1 I LOVE the Lord, because my voice

and prayers he did hear.

2 I, while I live, will call on him,

who bow'd to me his ear.

3 Of death the cords and sorrows did

about me compass round ; The pains of hell took hold on me, I grief and trouble found.

4 Upon the name of God the Lord

then did I call, and say, Deliver thou my soul, 0 Lord, I do thee humbly pray.

5 God merciful and righteous is,

yea, gracious is our Lord.

6 God saves the meek : I was brought low.

he did me help afford.

7 0 thou my soul, do thou return

unto thy quiet rest ; For largely, lo, the Lord to thee his bounty hath exprest.

8 For my distressed soul from death

deliver'd was by thee : [tears,

Thou didst my mourning eyes from my feet from falling, free.

9 I in the land of those that live

will walk the Lord before. 10 1 did believe, therefore I spake : I was afflicted sore.

Ill said, when I was in my haste,

that all men liars be. 12 What shall I render to the Lord

for all his gifts tome]

I shall not be dismay'd.

7 The Lord doth take my part with them

that help to succour me : Therefore on those that do me hate I my desire shall see.

8 Better it is to trust in God

than trust in man's defence ;

9 Better to trust in God than make

princes our confidence.

did compass me about : But in the Lord's most holy name I shall them all root out.

my voice, that calls on thee : According to thy judgment, Lord, revive and quicken me.

150 Who follow mischief they draw nigh ;

they from thy law are far :

151 But thou art near, Lord; most firm

all thy commandments are. [truth

152 As for thy testimonies all,

of old this have I try'd, That thou hast surely founded them for ever to abide.

153 Consider mine affliction,

in safety do me set : Deliver me, 0 Lord, for I thy law do not forget,

154 After thy word revive thou me :

save me, and plead my cause.

155 Salvation is from sinners far ;

for they seek not thy laws.

156 0 Lord, both great and manifold

thy tender mercies be : According to thy judgments just, revive and quicken me-.

157 My persecutors many are,

and foes that do combine ;

Yet from thy testimonies pure

my heart doth not decline.

158 I saw transgressors, and was griev'd ;

for they keep not thy word.

159 See how I love thy law ! as thou

art kind, me quicken, Lord.

160 From the beginning all thy word

hath been most true and sure : Thy righteous judgments ev'ry one for evermore endure.

161 Princes have persecuted me,

although no cause they saw : But still of thy most holy word my heart doth stand in awe.

162 I at thy word rejoice, as one

of spoil that finds great stores'

163 Thy law I love j but lying all

I hate and do abhor.

164 Sev'n times a-day it is my care

to give due praise to thee ; Because of all thy judgments, Lord, which righteous ever be.

165 Great peace have they who love thy

offence they shall have none, [law \

166 I hop'd for thy salvation, Lord,

and thy commands have done.

167 My soul thy testimonies pure

observed carefully ; On them my heart is set, and them I love exceedingly.

168 Thy testimonies and thy laws

I kept with special care ; For all my works and ways each one before thee open are.

TAIL The 22d Part

169 0 let my earnest pray'r and cry

come near before thee, Lord : • Give understanding unto me, according to thy word.

170 Let my request before thee come :

after thy word me free.

171 My lips shall utter praise, when thou

hast taught thy laws to me.

172 My tongue of thy most blessed word

shall speak, and it confess ; Because all thy commandements are perfect righteousness.

173 Let thy strong hand make help to me :

thy precepts are my choice.

174 I long'd for thy salvation, Lord,

and in thy law rejoice.

175 0 let my soul live, and it shall

give praises unto thee ; And let thy judgments gracious be helpful unto me.

176 I, like a lost sheep, went astray ;

thy servant seek, and find : For thy commands I suffer'd not to slip out of my mind.

1 I JOY'D when to the house of God,

Go up, they said to me.

2 Jerusalem, within thy gates

our feet shall standing be.

3 Jerus'lem, as a city, is

compactly built together :

4 Unto that place the tribes go up,

the tribes of God go thither : To Isr'el's testimony, there to God's name thanks to pay.

5 For thrones of judgment, ev'n the thrones

of David's house, there stay.

6 Pray that Jerusalem may have

peace and felicity : Let them that love thee and thy peace have still prosperity.

Therefore I wish that peace may still

within thy walls remain, And ever may thy palaces

prosperity retain. JSTow, for my friends' and brethren's

Peace be in thee, I'll say. [sakes, And for the house of God our Lord,

I'll seek thy good alway.

123 PSALM CXXIIL

0 THOU that dwellest in the heav'ns,

I lift mine eyes to thee. Behold, as servants' eyes do look

their masters' hand to see, As handmaid's eyes her mistress' hand ;

so do our eyes attend Upon the Lord our God, until

to us ho mercy send.

PSALM CXXIY. second version.

NOW Israel

may say, and that truly, If that the Lord

had not our cause maintain' d ; If that the Lord

had not our right sustain' d, "When cruel men

against us furiously Eose up in wrath,

to make of us their prey ;

Then certainly

they had devour'd us all, And swallow'd quick,

for ought that we could deem ; Such was their rage,

as we might well esteem. And as fierce floods

before them all things drown, So had they brought

our soul to death quite down.

The raging streams,

with their proud swelling waves, Had then our soul

o'erwhelmed in the deep. But bless' d be God,

who doth us safely keep, And hath not giv'n

us for a living prey LTnto their teeth,

and bloody cruelty.

Ev'n as a bird

out of the fowler's snare Escapes away,

so is our soul set free : Broke are their nets,

and thus escaped we. Therefore our help

is in the Lord's great name, "Who heav'n and earth

by his great pow'r did frame.

C. M.

PSALM CXXV.

1 THEY in the Lord that firmly trust

shall be like Sion hill, "Which at no time can be remov'd, but standeth ever still.

2 As round about Jerusalem

the mountains stand alway, The Lord his folk doth compass so, from henceforth and for aye.

3 For ill men's rod upon the lot

of just men shall not lie j Lest righteous men stretch forth their unto iniquity. [hands

4 Do thou to all those that be good

thy goodness, Lord, impart ;

But as for such as turn aside

after their crooked way, God shall lead forth with wicked men :

on Isr'el peace shall stay.

PSALM CXXVI.

AVHEX Sion's bondage God turn'd back, as men that dream'd were we.

2 Then fill'd with laughter was our mouth,

our tongue with melody :

They 'mong the heathen said, The Lord great things for them hath wrought.

3 The Lord hath done great things for us,

whence joy to us is brought.

4 As streams of water in the south,

our bondage, Lord, recall

5 "Who sow in tears, a reaping time

of joy enjoy they shall.

6 That man who, bearing precious seed,

in going forth doth mourn, He doubtless, bringing back his sheaves, rejoicing shall return.

127 PSALM CXXVII.

EXCEPT the Lord do build the house,

the builders lose their pain : Except the Lord the city keep, the watchmen watch in vain. ! "lis vain for you to rise betimes, or late from rest to keep, To feed on sorrow's bread \ so gives he his beloved sleep. \ Lo, children are God's heritage, the womb's fruit his reward. : The sons of youth as arrows are,

for strong men's hands prepar'd. \ 0 happy is the man that hath his quiver fill'd with those ; They unashamed in the gate shall speak unto their foes.

128 PSALM CXXVIII.

1 BLESS'Dis each one that fears the Lord, and walketh in his ways ;

2 For of thy labour thou shalt eat, and happy be always.

Thy wife shall as a fruitful vine • by thy house' sides be found : Thy children like to olive-plants

about thy table round. Behold, the man that fears the Lord,

thus blessed shall he be. The Lord shall out of Sion give

his blessing unto thee : Thou shalt Jerus'lem's good behold

whilst thou on earth dost dwell Thou shalt thy children's children see,

and peace on Israel.

PSALM CXXIX

OFT did they vex nie from my youth,

may Isr'el now declare ; Oft did they vex me from my youth,

yet not victorious were. The plowers plow'd upon my hack ;

they long their furrows drew. The righteous Lord did cut the cords

of the ungodly crew. Let Sion's haters all he turn'd

back with confusion. As grass on houses' tops he they,

which fades ere it he groAvn : Whereof enough to fill his hand

the mower cannot find ; Nor can the man his bosom fill,

whose work is sheaves to bind. Neither say they who do go by,

God's blessing on you rest : "We in the name of God the Lord

do wish you to be blest. 130 PSALM CXXX.

LORD, from the depths to thee I cry'd.

My voice, Lord, do thou hear : Unto my supplication's voice

give an attentive ear. Lord, who shall stand, if thou, 0 Lord,

should'st mark iniquity ?

But yet with thee forgiveness is,

that fear'd thou mayest be.

5 I wait for God, my soul doth wait,

my hope is in his word, j More than they that for morning watch, my soul waits for the Lord ; I say, more than they that do watch the morning light to see.

7 Let Israel hope in the Lord,

for with him mercies be ; And plenteous redemption is ever found with him.

8 And from all his iniquities

he Isr'el shall redeem.

131 PSALM CXXXI.

1 MY heart not haughty is, 0 Lord,

mine eyes not lofty be ; Nor do I deal in matters great, or things too high for me.

2 I surely have myself behav'd

with quiet sp'rit and mild, As child of mother wean'd : my soul is like a weaned child.

3 Upon the Lord let all the hope

of Israel rely, Ev'n from the time that present is unto eternitv.

Lord, do thou think upon ;

2 How unto God he sware, and vow'd

to Jacob's mighty One.

3 I will not come within my house,

nor rest in bed at all ;

4 Nor shall mine eyes take any sleep,

nor eyelids slumber shall ;

5 Till for the Lord a place I find,

where he may make abode ; A place of habitation for Jacob's mighty God.

6 Lo, at the place of Ephratah

of it we understood ; And we did find it in the fields, and city of the wood.

7 We'll go into his tabernacles,

and at his footstool bow.

8 Arise, 0 Lord, into thy rest,

th' ark of thy strength, and thou.

9 0 let thy priests be clothed, Lord,

with truth and righteousness ; And let all those that are thy saints shout loud for joyfulness.

12 My cov'nant if thy sons will keep,

and laws to them made known, Their children then shall also sit for ever on thy throne.

13 For God of Sion hath made choice ;

there he desires to dwell.

14 This is my rest, here still I'll stay ;

for I do like it well.

15 Her food I'll greatly bless ; her poor

with bread will satisfy. [saints

1 6 Her priests I'll clothe with health \ her

shall shout forth joyfully.

17 And there will I make David's horn

to bud forth pleasantly : For him that mine anointed is a lamp ordain'd have I.

1 8 As with a garment I will clothe

with shame his en'mies all : But yet the crown that he doth wear upon him flourish shall.

1 BEHOLD, how good a thing it is,

and how becoming well, Together such as brethren are in unity to dwell !

2 Like precious ointment on the head,

that down the beard did flow, Ev'n Aaron's beard, and to the skirts did of his garments go.

3 As Hermon's dew, the dew that doth

on Sion' hills descend : For there the blessing God commands, life that shall never end.

134 PSALM CXXXIV.

1 BEHOLD, bless ye the Lord, all ye

that his attendants are, Ev'n you that in God's temple be, and praise him nightly there.

2 Your hands within God's holy place

lift up, and praise his name.

3 From Sion' hill the Lord thee bless,

1 PKAISE ye the Lord, the Lord's name

2 Who stand in God's house, in the courts

of our God make abode.

3 Praise ye the Lord, for he is good ;

unto him praises sing : Sing praises to his name, because it is a pleasant thing.

4 For Jacob to himself the Lord

did chuse of his good pleasure, And he hath chosen Israel for his peculiar treasure. -

5 Because I know assuredly

the Lord is very great, And that our Lord above all gods in glory hath his seat.

6 What things soever pleas'd the Lord,

that in the heav'n did he, And in the earth, the seas, and all the places deep that be.

7 He from the ends of earth doth make

the vapours to ascend ; With rain he lightnings makes, and wind doth from his treasures send.

Egypt, in midst of thee.

10 He smote great nations, slew great

1 1 Sihon of Heshbon king, [kings : And Og of liashan, and to nought

did Canaan's kingdoms bring :

1 2 And for a wealthy heritage

their pleasant land he gave, An heritage which Israel, his chosen folk, should have.

13 Thy name, 0 Lord, shall still endure,

and thy memorial With honour shall continu'd be to generations all.

14 For why? the righteous Gpd will judge

his people righteously ; Concerning those that do him serve, himself repent will he.

15 The idols of the nations

of silver are and gold, And by the hands of men is made' their fashion and mould.

16 Mouths have they, but they do not

eyes, but they do not see ; [speak ;

17 Ears have they, but hear not ; and in

their mouths no breathing be.

18 Their makers are like them ; so are

all that on them rely.

19 0 Isr'el's house, bless God ; bless God,

0 Aaron's family.

20 0 bless the Lord, of Levi's house

ye who his servants are j And bless the holy name of God, all ye the Lord that fear.

Ev'n Sihon king of Amorites :

for he hath mercy ever. And Og the king of Bashanites :

Their land in heritage to have :

In our low state who on us thought :

The sea he cut in two ; For his grace lasteth still.

14 And through its midst to go Made his own Israel :

For certainly his mercies dure Most firm and sure eternally.

15 But overwhelm'd and lost Was proud king Pharaoh, With all his mighty host, And chariots there also :

For certainly his mercies dure Most firm and sure eternally.

16 To him who pow'rfully His chosen people led, Ev'n through the desert dry, And in that place them fed :

For certainly his mercies dure Most firm and sure eternally.

17 To him great kings who smote ; For his grace hath no bound.

1 8 Who slew, and spared not Kings famous and renown'd :

For certainly his mercies dure Most firm and sure eternally.

19 Sihon the Am'rites' king; For his grace lasteth ever :

20 Og also, who did reign The land of Bashan over :

For certainly his mercies dure Most firm and sure eternally.

21 Their land by lot he gave ; For his grace faileth never,

22 That Isr'el might it have In heritage for ever :

For certainly his mercies dure Most firm and sure eternally.

23 Who hath remembered Us in our low estate ;

24 And us delivered

From foes which did us hate : For certainly his mercies dure Most firm and sure eternally.

25 Who to all flesh gives food ; For his grace faileth never.

26 Give thanks to God most good, The God of heav'n, for ever :

For certainly his mercies dure Most firm and sure eternally. 12 *

137 psalm cxxxvn.

1 BY Isabel's streams we sat and wept,

when Sion we thought on.

2 In midst thereof we hang'd our harps

the willow-trees upon.

3 For there a song required they,

who did us captive bring : Our spoilers call'd for mirth, and said, A song of Sion sing.

4 0 how the Lord's song shall wo sing

within a foreign land 1

5 If thee, Jerus'lem, I forget,

skill part from my right hand.

6 My tongue to my mouth'sroof let cleave,

if I do thee forget,

Jerusalem, and thee above my chief joy do not set.

Eemember Edom's children, Lord,

who in Jerus'lem's day, Ev'n unto its foundation,

Raze, raze it quite, did say. 0 daughter thou of Babylon,

near to destruction ; BlessVl shall he be that thee rewards,

as thou to us hast done.

Yea, happy surely shall he be

thy tender little ones Who shall lay hold upon, and them

shall dash against the stones.

PSALM CXXXVIII. THEE will I praise with all my heart,

I will sing praise to thee Before the gods : And worship will

toward thy sanctuary. I'll praise thy name, ev'n for thy truth,

and kindness of thy love ; For thou thy word hast magnify'd

all thy great name above. Thou didst me answer in the day

when I to thee did cry ; And thou my fainting soul with strength

didst strengthen inwardly. All kings upon the earth that are

shall give thee praise, 0 Lord ; "When as they from thy mouth shall hear

thy true and faithful word. Yea, in the righteous ways of God

with gladness they shall sing : For great's the glory of the Lord,

who doth for ever reign. Though God be high, yet he respects

all those that lowly be ; Whereas the proud and lofty ones

afar off knoweth he. Though I in midst of trouble walk,

I life from thee shall have :

'Gainst my foes' wrath thou'lt stretch thine hand ; thy right hand shall me save.

Surely that which concerneth me the Lord will perfect make :

Lord, still thy mercy lasts ; do not thine own hands' works forsake.

PSALM CXXXIX.

139

1 O LORD, thou hast me search'd and

known.

2 Thou know'st my sitting down, And rising up ; yea, all my thoughts

afar to thee are known.

3 My footsteps, and my lying down,

thou compassest always ; Thou also most entirely art acquaint with all my ways.

4 For in my tongue, before I speak,

not any word can be, But altogether, lo, 0 Lord, it is well known to thee.

5 Behind, before, thou hast beset,

and laid on me thine hand.

6 Such knowledge is too strange for me,

too high to understand.

From thy Sp'rit whither shall I go ]

or from thy presence fly 1 Ascend I heav'n, lo, thou art there \

there, if in hell I lie. 9 Take I the morning wings, and dwell

in utmost parts of sea ; [lead,

10 Ev'n there, Lord, shall thy hand me

thy right hand hold shall me.

11 If I do say that darkness shall

me cover from thy sight, Then surely shall the very night about me be as light.

1 2 Yea, darkness hideth not from thee,

but night doth shine as day : To thee the darkness and the light are both alike alway.

13 For thou possessed hast my reins,

and thou hast cover' d me, "When I within my mother's womb inclosed was by thee.

PSALM CXXXIX.— continued.

My substance was not hid from thee,

when as in secret I Was made ; and in earth's lowest parts

was wrought most curiously. Thine eyes my substance did behold,

yet being imperfect ; And in the volume of thy book

my members all were writ ; Which after in continuance

were fashion'd ev'ry one, When as they yet all shapeless were,

and of them there was none.

17 How precious also are thy thoughts,

0 gracious God, to me ! And in their sum how passing great

and numberless they be !

18 If T should count them, than the sand they more in number be :

What time soever I awake,

1 ever am with thee.

19 Thou, Lord, wilt sure the wicked slay: hence from me bloody men.

20 Thy foes against thee loudly speak, and take thy name in vain.

C. M.

(gban.

183

21 Do not I hate all those, 0 Lord,

that hatred bear to thee % With those that up against thee rise can I but grieved be ?

22 With perfect hatred them I hate,

my foes I them do hold.

23 Search me, 0 God, and know my heart,

try me, my thoughts unfold :

21 And see if any wicked way there be at all in me ; And in thine everlasting way to me a leader be.

140 PSALM CXL.

1 LORD, from the ill and i'roward man

give me deliverance, And do thou safe preserve me from the man of violence :

2 Who in their heart mischievous things

are meditating ever ; And they for war assembled are continually together.

3 Much like unto a serpent's tongue

their tongues they sharp do make ; And underneath their lips there lies the poison of a snake.

4 Lord, keep me from the wicked's hands,

from vi'lent men me save ; "Who utterly to overthrow my goings purpos'd have.

5 The proud for me a snare have hid,

and cords ; yea, they a net

Have by the wayside for me spread ; they gins for me have set.

6 I said imto the Lord, Thou art

my God : unto the cry Of all my supplications, Lord, do thine ear apply.

7 0 God the Lord, who art the strength

of my salvation : A cov'ring in the day of war my head thou hast put on.

8 Unto the wicked man, 0 Lord,

his wishes do not grant ; Nor further thou his ill device, lest they themselves should vaunt.

9 As for the head and chief of those

about that compass me, Ev'n by the mischief of their lips let thou them cover'd be.

10 Let burning coals upon them fall,

them throw in fiery flame, And in deep pits, that they no more may rise out of the same.

1 1 Let not an evil speaker be

on earth established : Mischief shall hunt the vi'lent man, till he be ruined.

12 I know God will th' afflicted's cause

maintain, and poor men's right.

13 Surely the just shall praise thy name ;

th' upright dwell in thy sight.

PSALM CXLI.

0 LORD, I unto thee do cry, do thou make haste to me,

And give an ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.

As incense let my prayer be

directed in thine eyes ; And the uplifting of my hands

as th' ev'ning sacrifice.

Set, Lord, a watch before my mouth,

keep of my lips the door. My heart incline thou not unto

the ills I should abhor,

To practise wicked works with men

that work iniquity ; And with their delicates my taste

let me not satisfy. Let him that righteous is me smite,

it shall a kindness be ; Let him reprove, I shall it'count

a precious oil to me : Such smiting shall not break my head

for yet the time shall fill, When I in their calamities

to God pray for them shall.

When as their judges down shall be

in stony places cast, Then shall they hear my words ; for they

shall sweet be to their taste. About the grave's devouring mouth

our bones are scatter'd round, As wood which men do cut and cleave

lies scatter'd on the ground. But unto thee, 0 God the Lord,

mine eyes uplifted be : My soul do not leave destitute ;

my trust is set on thee. Lord, keep me safely from the snares

which they for me prepare ; And from the subtile gins of them

that wicked workers are. Let workers of iniquity

into their own nets fall, Whilst I do, by thine help, escape

the danger of them all.

142 PSALM CXLIL

1 I WITH my voice cry'd to the Lord,

with it made my request:

2 Pour'd out to him my plaint, to him

my trouble I exprest.

10

When in me was overwhelm' d my sp'rit,

then well thou knew'st my way ; Where I did walk a snare for me

they privily did lay. I look'd on my right hand, and view'd,

but none to know me were ; All refuge failed me, no man

did for my soul take care. I cry'd to thee ; I said, Thou art

my refuge, Lord, alone ; And in the land of those that live

thou art my portion. Because I am brought very low,

attend unto my cry : Me from my persecutors save,

who stronger are than L From prison bring my soul, that I

thy name may glorify : The just shall compass me, when thou

with me deal'st bounteously.

143 PSALM CXLIII.

LOED, hear my prayer, attend my suits ;

and in thy faithfulness Give thou an answer unto me,

and in thy righteousness. Thy servant also bring thou not

in judgment to be try'd : Because no living man can be

in thy sight justify' d. 1 For th' en'my hath pursu'd my soul,

my life to ground down tread : In darkness he hath made me dwell,

as who have long been dead.

4 My sp'rit is therefore overwhelm'd

in me perplexedly ; Within me is my very heart amazed wondrously.

5 I call to mind the days of old,

to meditate I use On all thy works ; upon the deeds I of thy hands do muse.

6 My hands to thee I stretch ; my soul

thirsts, as dry land, for thee.

7 Haste, Lord, to hear, my spirit fails :

hide not thy face from me ;

Lest like to them I do become that go down to the dust.

8 At morn let me thy kindness hear ;

for in thee do I trust.

Teach me the way that I should walk : I lift my soul to thee.

9 Lord, free me from my foes ; I flee

to thee to cover me.

10 Because thou art my God, to do

thy will do me instruct : Thy Sp'rit is good, me to the land of uprightness conduct.

1 1 Eevive and quicken me, 0 Lord,

ev'n for thine own name's sake ; And do thou, for thy righteousness, my soul from trouble take.

12 And of thy mercy slay my foes ;

let all destroyed be That do afflict my soul : for I a servant am to thee.

1 OH, hear my prayer, Lord, And unto my desire

To bow thine ear accord, I humbly thee require ; And, in thy faithfulness, Unto me answer make, And, in thy righteousness, Upon me pity take.

2 In judgment enter not With me thy servant poor ; For why, this well I wot, No sinner can endure

The sight of thee, 0 God : If thou his deeds shalt try, He dare make none abode Himself to justify.

SECOND VERSION.

3 Behold, the cruel foe Me persecutes with spite, My soul to overthrow : Yea, he my life down quite Unto the ground hath smote, And made me dwell full low In darkness, as forgot,

Or men dead long ago.

4 Tli ere fore my sp'rit much vex'd, 0*erwhelm'd is me within ; My heart right sore perplex' d And desolate hath been.

5 Yet I do call to mind "What ancient days record, Thy works of ev'ry kind

I think upon, 0 Lord.

PSALM CXLIV.

0 BLESSED ever be the Lord,

who is my strength and might, Who doth instruct my hands to war,

my lingers teach to fight. My goodness, fortress, my high tow'r,

deliverer, and shield, In whom I trust : who under me

my people makes to yield. Lord, what is man, that thou of him

dost so much knowledge take ? Or son of man, that thou of him

so great account dost make 1 Man is like vanity ; his days,

as shadows, pass away. [thou

Lord, bow thy heav'ns, comedown, touch

the hills, and smoke shall they. Cast forth thy lightning, scatter them j

thine arrows shoot, them rout. Thine hand send from above, me save ;

from great depths draw me out; And from the hand of children strange,

Whose mouth speaks vanity ; And their right hand is a right hand

that works deceitfully. A new song I to thee will sing,

Lord, on a psaltery ;

I i

I on a ten-string'd instrument

will praises sing to thee. 10 Ev'n he it is that unto kings

salvation doth send ; Who his own servant David doth

from hurtful sword defend. 110 free me from strange children's hand,

whose mouth speaks vanity ; And their right hand a right hand is

that works deceitfully.

12 That, as the plants, our sons may be

in youth grown up that are ; Our daughters like to corner-stones, carv'd like a palace fair.

1 3 That to afford all kind of store

our gamers may be fill'd ; That our sheep thousands, in our streets ten thousands they may yield.

14 That strong our oxen be for work

that no in-breaking be, Nor going out ; and that our streets may from complaints be free.

15 Those people blessed are who be

in such a case as this ; Yea, blessed all those people are, whose God JEHOVAH is.

1 I'LL thee extol, my God, 0 King ;

I'll bless thy name always.

2 Thee will I bless each day, and will

thy name for ever praise.

3 Great is the Lord, much to be prais'd ;

his greatness search exceeds.

4 Eace unto race shall praise thy works,

and show thy mighty deeds.

5 I of thy glorious majesty

the honour will record ; I'll speak of all thy mighty works, which wondrous are, 0 Lord.

6 Men of thine acts the might shall show,

thine acts that dreadful are ; And I, thy glory to advance, thy greatness will declare.

7 The mem'ry of thy goodness great

they largely shall express ; With songs of praise they shall extol thy perfect righteousness.

8 The Lord is very gracious,

in him compassions flow ; In mercy he is very great, and is to anger slow.

9 The Lord JEHOVAH unto all

his goodness doth declare ; And over all his other works his tender mercies are.

1 0 Thee all thy works shall praise, 0 Lord,

and thee thy saints shall bless ;

1 1 They shall thy kingdom's glory show,

thy pow'r by speech express :

12 To make the sons of men to know

his acts done mightily, And of his kingdom, th' excellent and glorious majesty.

13 Thy kingdom shall for ever stand,

thy reign through ages all. 14: God raiseth all that are bow'd down, upholdeth all that fall.

15 The eyes of all things wait on thee,

the giver of all good ; And thou, in time convenient, bestow'st on them their food :

16 Thine hand thou open'st lib'rally,

and of thy bounty gives

Enough to satisfy the need

of ev'ry thing that lives.

17 The Lord is just in all his ways,

holy in his works all.

18 God's near to all that call on him,

in truth that on him call.

19 He will accomplish the desire

of those that do him fear : He also will deliver them, and he their cry will hear.

20 The Lord preserves all who him love,

that nought can them annoy : But he all those that wicked are will utterly destroy.

21 My mouth the praises of the Lord

to publish cease shall never : Let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and for ever.

In mercy he is plenteous,

But unto wrath and anger slow.

9 Good unto all men is the Lord ; O'er all his works his mercy is.

13 Thy kingdom hath none end at all, It doth through ages all remain.

14 The Lord upholdeth all that fall, The cast-down raiseth up again.

19 God will the just desire fulfil

Of such as do him fear and dread : Their cry regard, and hear he will, And save them in the time of need.

20 The Lord preserves all, more and less, That bear to him a loving heart : But workers all of wickedness Destroy will he, and clean subvert.

in songs I'll praises give.

3 Trust not in princes, nor man's son,

5 O happy is that man and blest,

whom Jacob's God doth aid ; Whose hope upon the Lord doth rest,

who truth doth ever keep :

7 Who righteous judgment executes

for those oppress'd that be,

Who to the hungry giveth food ;

God sets the pris'ners free.

8 The Lord doth give the blind their

sight, the bowed down doth raise : The Lord doth dearly love all those that walk in upright ways.

9 The stranger's shield, the widow's stay,

the orphan's help, is he : But yet by him the wicked's way

turn'd upside down shall be. 10 The Lord shall reign for evermore :

thy God, O Sion, he Reigns to all generations.

Praise to the Lord give ye.

PEAISE ye the Lord ; for it is good

praise to our God to sing : For it is pleasant, and to praise

it is a comely thing. God doth build up Jerusalem ;

and he it is alone That the dispers'd of Israel

doth gather into one. Those that are broken in their heart,

and grieved in their minds, He healeth, and their painful wounds

he tenderly up-binds. He counts the number of the stars ;

he names them ev'ry one. Great is our Lord, and of great pow'r ;

his wisdom search can none. The Lord lifts up the meek ; and casts

the wicked to the ground. Sing to the Lord, and give him thanks ;

On harp his praises sound ; 1 Who covereth the heav'n with clouds,

who for the earth below Prepareth rain, who maketh grass

upon the mountains grow. 13

9 He gives the beast his food, he feeds the ravens young that cry.

10 His pleasure not in horses' strength,

nor in mail's legs, doth lie.

1 1 But in all those that do him fear

the Lord doth pleasure take ; In those that to his mercy do by hope themselves betake.

1 2 The Lord praise, 0 Jerusalem ;

Sion, thy God confess :

1 3 For thy gates' bars he maketh strong ;

thy sons in thee doth bless.;

1 4 He in thy borders maketh peace ;

with fine wheat filleth thee.

15 He sends forth his command on earth,

his word runs speedily.

16 Hoar-frost, like ashes, scatt'reth he ;

like wool he snow doth give :

17 Like morsels casteth forth his ice ;

who in its cold can live ?

18 He sendeth forth his mighty word,

and melteth them again ; His wind he makes to blow, and then the waters flow amain.

19 The doctrine of his holy word

to Jacob he doth show ; His statutes and his judgments he gives Israel to know.

20 To any nation never he

such favour did afford ; For they his judgments have not 0 do ye praise the Lord, [known.

On high his glory raise.

2 Him let all angels bless,

Him all his armies praise.

3 Him glorify sun, moon, and stars ;

4 Ye higher spheres, and cloudy sky.

149 PSALM CXLIX.

1 PRAISE ye the Lord : unto him sing

a new song, and his praise In the assembly of his saints in sweet psalms do ye raise.

2 Let Isr'el in his Maker joy,

and to him praises sing : Let all that Sion's children are be joyful in their King.

3 0 let them unto his great name

give praises in the dance ; Let them with timbrel and with harp in songs his praise advance.

4 For God doth pleasure take in those

That his own people be ; And he with his salvation the meek will beautify.

5 And in liis glory excellent

let all his saints rejoice :

t

Let them to him upon their beds aloud lift up their voice.

6 Let in their mouth aloft be rais'd

the high praise of the Lord, ' And let them have in their right hand a sharp two-edged sword ;

7 To execute the vengeance due

upon the heathen all, A nd make deserved punishment upon the people fall.

8 And ev'n with chains, as pris'ners, bind

their kings that them command ; Yea, and with iron fetters strong, the nobles of their land.

9 On them the judgment to perform

found written in his word : This honour is to all his saints. O do ye praise the Lord.

PSALM XXIV.

YE gates, lift up your heads on high ;

ye doors that last for aye, Be lifted up, that so the King

of glory enter may. But who of glory is the King ?

The mighty Lord is this ; Ev'n that same Lord, that great in

and strong in battle is. [might,

Ye gates, lift up your heads ; ye doors,

doors that do last for aye, Be lifted up, that so the King

of glory enter may. But who is he that is the King

of glory 1 who is this 1 The Lord of hosts, and none but- he,

the King of glory is.

PSALM XL1II.

0 SEND thy light forth and thy truth ;

let them "be guides to me, And bring me to thy holy hill,

ev'n where thy dwellings be. Then will I to God's altar go,

to God my chiefest joy : Yea, God, my God, thy name to praise

my harp I will employ.

Why art thou then cast down, my soul ?

what should discourage thee ? And why with vexing thoughts art thou

disquieted in me ? Still trust in God ; for him to praise

good cause I yet shall have : He of my count'nance is the health,

my God that doth me save.

THE HOLY TRINITY.

HOLY, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty ! Gratefully adoring, our song shall rise to thee. Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty, God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity !

Holy, holy, holy ! all the saints adore thee, Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea ; Cherubim and Seraphim falling down before thee, Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

Holy, holy, holy, though the darkness hide thee,

Though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see ;

Only thou art holy : there is none beside thee

Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty !

All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth and sky and sea

Holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty,

God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity !

MORNING.

AWAKE, my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run ; Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise To pay thy morning sacrifice.

Thy precious time mis-spent redeem ; Each present day thy last esteem ; Improve thy talent with due care ; Eor the great day thyself prepare.

Let all thy converse be sincere ; Keep conscience as the noontide clear Think how All-seeing God thy ways And all thy secret thoughts surveys.

Wake and lift up thyself, my heart, And with the angels bear thy part,

Who, all night long, unwearied sing High praise to the Eternal King.

Glory to thee who safe hast kept, And hast refreshed me while I slept. Grant, Lord, when I from death shall I may of endless life partake. [wake,

Direct, control, suggest, this day, All I design, or do, or say ; That all my powers, with all their In thy sole glory may unite. [might,

Praise God, from whom all blessings

flow ; Praise him, all creatures here below ; Praise him above, ye heavenly host : Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

GLORY to thee, my God, this night, For all the "blessings of the light. Keep me, 0 keep me, King of kings, Under thine own almighty wings.

2 Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son, The ill that I this day have done ; That with the world, myself, and thee, I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.

3 Teach me to live, that I may dread The grave as little as my bed : Teach me to die, that so I may Rise glorious at the judgment-day.

4 0 may my soul on thee repose, [close ; And with sweet sleep mine eyelids

Sleep that may me more vigorous make To serve my God when I awake.

When in the night I sleepless lie, My soul with heavenly thoughts sup- Let no ill dreams disturb my rest, [ply ; ISTo powers of darkness me molest. 0 ! when shall I, in endless day, For ever chase dark sleep away, And hymns with the supernal choir Incessant sing, and never tire 1

Praise God, from whom all blessings

flow ; Praise him, all creatures here below ; Praise him above, ye heavenly host : Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

4 THE HOMEWARD JOURNEY.

CHILDREN of the heavenly King, As ye journey sweetly sing : Sing your Saviour's worthy praise, Glorious in his works and ways ! ! We are travelling home to God, In the way the fathers trod : They are happy now, and we Soon their happiness shall see. Foes are round us, but we stand On the borders of our land : Jesus, God's exalted Son, Bids us undismayed go on. Onward, then, we gladly press Through this earthly wilderness ; Only, Lord, our leader be, And we still will follow thee.

5 DIVINE LOVE IN REDEMPTION.

GREAT the joy when Christians meet, Christian fellowship how sweet ! "When, their theme of praise the same, They exalt Jehovah's name. Sing we then eternal love, Such as did the Father move ; He beheld the world undone, Loved the world, and gave his Son. Sing the Son's unbounded love ; How he left the realms above ; Took our nature and our place ; Lived and died to save our race. : Sing we, too, the Spirit's love ; With our stubborn hearts he strove, Chased the mists of sin away, Turned our night to glorious day.

5 Great the joy, the union sweet, When the saints in glory meet ; Where the theme is still the same, Where they praise Jehovah's name.

() " HIS MERCY ENDURETH FOR EVER."

LET us, with a gladsome mind, Praise the Lord, for he is kind : For his mercies shall endure, Ever faithful, ever sure.

2 Let us sound his name abroad, For of gods he is the God : For his mercies shall endure, Ever faithful, ever sure.

3 He, with all-commanding might, Filled the new-made world with light For his mercies shall endure,

Ever faithful, ever sure.

4 All things living he doth feed ; His full hand supplies their need : For his mercies shall endure, Ever faithful, ever sure.

5 He his chosen race did bless In the wasteful wilderness : For his mercies shall endure, Ever faithful, ever sure.

6 He hath, with a piteous eye, Looked upon our misery : For his mercies shall endure, Ever faithful, ever sure.

7 Let us, then, with gladsome mind, Praise the Lord, for he is kind : For his mercies shall endure, Ever faithful, ever sure.

/ SABBATH EVENING.

FOE the mercies of the day, For this rest upon our way, Thanks to thee alone be given, Lord of earth and King of heaven !

Cold our services have been, Mingled every prayer with sin ; But thou canst and wilt forgive ; By thy grace alone we live. While this thorny path we tread, May thy love our footsteps lead ; When our journey here is past, May we rest with thee at last. Let these earthly Sabbaths prove Foretastes of our joys above, While their steps thy children bend To the rest which knows no end.

8 CHRIST HAS COME.

HE has come ! the Christ of God

Left for us his glad abode ;

Stooping from his throne of bliss,

To this darksome wilderness. ! He has come ! the Prince of Peace ;

Come to bid our sorrows cease ;

Come to scatter with his light

All the shadows of our night. ► He the mighty King has come !

Making this poor earth his home ;

Come to bear our sin's sad load ;

Son of David, Son of God. : He has come, whose name of grace

Speaks deliverance to our race ;

Left for us his glad abode ;

Son of Mary, Son of God !

Unto us a Child is born ! Ne'er has earth beheld a morn, Among all the morns of time, Half so glorious in its prime.

6 Unto us a Son is given !

He has come from God's own heaven, Bringing with him from above Holy peace and holy love.

9 ONWARD.

MUCH in sorrow, oft in woe, Onward, Christians, onward go ; Fight the fight, maintain the strife, Strengthened with the bread of life !

2 Onward, Christians, onward go ; Join the war, and face the foe ; Faint not ! much doth yet remain ; Dreary is the long campaign.

3 Shrink not, Christians ; will ye yield ? Will ye quit the painful field %

Will ye flee in danger's hour 1 Know ye not your Captain's power ?

4 Let your drooping hearts be glad ; March in heaveidy armour clad : Fight, nor think the battle long, Soon shall victory tune your song !

5 Let not sorrow dim your eye, Soon shall every tear be dry ; Let not fears your course impede, Great your strength, if great your need !

6 Onward then to battle move,

More than conquerors ye shall prove : Though opposed by many a foe, Christian soldiers, onward go !

JO COMMUNION.

JESUS invites his saints To meet around his board ; Here pardoned rebels sit, and hold Communion with their Lord.

2 For food he gives his flesh, For wine pours out his blood ;

Amazing favour ! matchless grace Of our incarnate God !

3 This holy bread and wine Sustain our fainting breath,

By union with our living Lord, And interest in his death.

4 Our heavenly Father calls Christ and his members one,

We the adopted of his love, And he the first-born Son.

5 Let all our powers be joined His glorious name to raise ;

Pleasure and love iill every mind, And every voice be praise.

U TO GOD OUR SAVIOUR.

TO God the only wise, Our Saviour and our King, Let all the saints below the skies Their humble praises bring.

2 'Tis his almighty love, His counsel, and his care,

Preserve us safe from sin and death. And every hurtful snare.

3 He will present our souls, Unblemished and complete,

Before the glory of his face, With joys divinely great.

I: Then all the chosen seed Shall meet around the throne,

Shall bless the conduct of his grace, And make his wonders known.

) To our Eedeemer God,

Wisdom and power belong, Immortal crowns of majesty,

And everlasting song.

Stretch forth to thee their hands.

3 Revive thy work, 0 Lord, Amid the polar snows,

Let nature's frozen wastes rejoice, And blossom as the rose.

4 Revive thy work, 0 Lord, Among the long-lost sheep

Of Israel's house, and bid them look On him they pierced, and weep.

5 Revive thy work, 0 Lord, In this our native isle,

With floods of light and life divine, Make all her borders smile.

13 THE ONE MEDIATOR.

THOU art the living way, 0 Christ ! through which alone, Shiners their offerings dare to lay- Before thy Father's throne.

2 Through thee goes up our prayer : The wish too fondly urged,

The anguished accents of despair, By thee from dross are purged.

3 Through thee goes up our praise : The lifeless strains and dull,

Which at the best our spirits raise. Of worldly thoughts too full,

4 Through thee have favour found ; — Hallowed and tuned by thee,

Through heaven those notes, once jarring. In sweetest harmony. [sound

5 Through thee go up our works : In holiest thoughts and deeds,

Ever, 0 Lord, some evil lurks, That thy atonement needs.

6 Washed in that precious stream, For guilty man that flowed,

Faith's meanest works thou bidst us deem Acceptable to God.

7 Our works, our praise, our prayer, By thee to God are borne ; —

Ourselves to him, blest Saviour, bear, When breaks thine advent morn.

14 watch !

YE servants of the Lord, Each in his office wait, Observant of his heavenly word, And watchful at his gate.

2 Let all your lamps be bright, And trim the golden flame ;

Gird up your loins, as in his sight, For awful is his name.

3 Watch ; 'tis your Lord's command ; And while we speak, he's near :

Mark the first signal of his hand, And ready all appear.

4 Oh happy servant he,

In such a posture found ! He shall his Lord with rapture see, And be with honour crowned.

5 Christ shall the banquet spread With his own royal hand,

And raise that favoured servant's head Amidst the angelic band.

15 THE DAY 0F REST-

1 SWEET is the task, 0 Lord, Thy glorious acts to sing,

To praise thy name, and hear thy word, And grateful offerings bring.

2 Sweet at the dawning hour Thy boundless love to tell,

And when the night-wind shuts the flowers Still on the theme to dwell.

3 Sweet on this day of rest To join in heart and voice

With those who love and serve thee, Lord,

And in thy name rejoice. 1 To songs of praise and joy

Be every Sabbath given, That such may be our best employ

Eternally in heaven.

AEISE, 0 Lord, and shine In all thy saving might, And prosper each design

To spread thy glorious light : Let healing streams of mercy flow, That all the earth thy truth may know.

2 Bring distant nations near,

To sing thy glorious praise ; Let every people hear,

And learn thy holy ways : Reign, mighty God, assert thy cause, And govern by thy righteous laws.

That Gentiles all may see, And earth present her store

In converts born to thee : God, our own God, his Church shall bless. And fill the earth with righteousness.

4 To God, the only wise,

The One Immortal King, Let hallelujahs rise

From every living thing ; Let all that breathe, on every coast, Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

FATHER, SON, AND SPIRIT.

WE give immortal praise

To God the Father's love, For all our comforts here And better hopes above : He sent his own Eternal Son, To die for sins that man had done.

I To God the Son belongs Immortal glory too, Who bought us with his blood From everlasting woe ; And now he lives, and now he reigns, And sees the fruit of all his pains.

3 To God the Spirit's name

Immortal worship give, Whose new-creating power Makes the dead sinner live : His work completes the great design, And fills the soul with joy divine.

4 Almighty God, to thee

Be endless honours done, The undivided Three,

And the mysterious One ; Where reason fails, with all her powers, There faith prevails, and love adores.

19

THY KINGDOM COME.

WITH songs of grateful praise

Surround Jehovah's seat ; The goodness of his ways

Through all the earth repeat ; His mercy rose ere time was known, And from his throne eternal flows.

2 He bids his light arise,

And sends his gospel forth ; From east to west it flies,

And fills the south and north ; His mighty grace its power imparts, And willing hearts its truth embrace.

3 Then far as isles extend,

To the vast ocean's bound, Let kings to Jesus bend,

And pour their offerings round ; Arabia raise the song divine, And Afric join to exalt his praise.

4 Let India's fertile shore

Its gifts and honours bring, To hail the Saviour's power,

To crown Immanuel King ; Remotest lands their homage pay, Till all obey his high commands.

20 THE NAME OF JESUS.

HOW sweet the name of Jesus sounds

In a believer's ear ! [wounds,

It soothes his sorrows, heals his

And drives away his fear. ! It makes the wounded spirit whole,

And calms the troubled breast j 'Tis manna to the hungry soul,

And to the weary rest. ► Dear name ! the rock on which I build

My shield and hiding-place ; My never-fading treasury, filled

With boundless stores of grace. By thee my prayers acceptance gain,

Although with sin defiled ; Satan accuses me in vain,

And I am owned a child. I Jesus ! my Shepherd, Saviour, Friend

My Prophet, Priest, and King ; My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End

Accept the praise I bring. Weak is the effort of my heart,

And cold my warmest thought ; But when I see thee as thou art,

I'll praise thee as I ought. Till then, I would thy love proclaim

With every fleeting breath ; And may the music of thy name

Refresh my soul in death.

21 SABBATH MORNING.

AGAIX the Lord of life and light

Awakes the kindling ray, Unseals the eyelids of the morn,

And pours refulgent day.

2 0 what a night was that which wrapt

A sinful world in gloom ! 0 what a Sun, which broke, this day, Triumphant from the tomb !

3 This day be grateful homage paid,

And loud hosannahs sung : Let gladness dwell in every heart, And praise on every tongue.

4 Ten thousand thousand lips shall join

To hail this welcome morn, Which scatters blessings from its To nations yet unborn. [wings,

22 THE PERFECT EXAMPLE.

WHAT grace, 0 Lord, and beauty Around thy steps below ! [shone

What patient love was seen in all Thy life and death of woe !

2 For ever on thy burdened heart

A weight of sorrow hung ; Yet no ungentle murmuring word Escaped thy silent tongue.

3 Thy foes might hate, despise, revile,

Thy friends unfaithful prove ; Unwearied in forgiveness still, Thy heart could only love.

4 Oh give us hearts to love like thee,

Like thee, 0 Lord, to grieve

Ear more for others' sins, than all

The wrongs that we receive.

5 One with thyself, may every eye,

In us, thy brethren, see That gentleness and grace that spring From union, Lord, with thee.

The opening heavens around me shine With beams of sacred bliss.

While Jesus shows his heart is mine, And whispers, I am his.

My soul would leave this heavy clay At that transporting word,

Run up with joy the shining way, To embrace my dearest Lord.

Fearless of hell and ghastly death, I'd break through every foe ;

The wings of love and arms of faith Should bear me conqueror through.

23 COMMUNION WITH GOD.

FAR from the world, 0 Lord, I flee, From strife and tumult far,

From scenes where Satan wages still His most successful war.

2 The calm retreat, the silent shade,

With prayer and praise agree, And seem, by thy sweet bounty, made For those who follow thee.

3 There, if thy Spirit touch the soul,

And grace her mean abode, Oh ! with what peace and joy and love She communes with her God !

4 There, like the nightingale, she pours

Her solitary lays ; Nor asks a witness of her song, Nor thirsts for human praise.

5 Author and guardian of my life,

Sweet source of light divine, And — all harmonious names in one — My Saviour, thou art mine. G What thanks I owe thee, and what love, A boundless, endless store, Shall echo through the realms above, When time shall be no more.

24 THE PRESENCE OF GOD.

MY God, the spring of all my joys,

The life of my delights, The glory of my brightest days,

And comfort of my nights. 2 In darkest shades if he appear,

My dawning is begun ; He is my soul's sweet morning star,

And he my rising sun.

THOUGHTS OF JESUS.

25

JESUS ! the very thought of thee With sweetness fills the breast ;

But sweeter far thy face to see, And in thy presence rest.

! No voice can sing, no heart can frame, Nor can the memory find, A sweeter sound than Jesus' name, The Saviour of mankind.

0 hope of every contrite heart !

0 joy of all the meek ! To those who fall how kind thou art !

How good to those who seek !

But what to those who find % Ah ! this Nor tongue nor pen can show j

The love of Jesus, what it is None but his loved ones know.

Jesus ! our only joy be thou,

As thou our prize volt be ; In thee be all our glory now,

And through eternity.

PSALM CIV.

0 WORSHIP the King,

All glorious above : 0 gratefully sing

His power and Ms love. Our shield and defender,

The Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendour,

And girded with praise.

0 tell of his might,

0 sing of his grace, Whose robe is the light,

Whose canopy, space : His chariots of wrath

The deep thunder-clouds form, And dark is his path

On the wings of the storm.

Thy bountiful care

What tongue can recite ? It breathes in the air,

It shines in the light ; It streams from the hills,

It descends to the plain, And sweetly distils

In the dew and the rain.

Frail children of dust,

And feeble as frail, In thee do we trust,

Nor find thee to fail J Thy mercies how tender,

How firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender,

Redeemer, and Friend !

2^ THE UNERRING GUIDE.

BEGONE, unbelief,

My Saviour is near, And for my relief

Will surely appear. By prayer let me wrestle,

And he will perform ; With Christ in the vessel,

I smile at the storm.

2 Though dark be my way,

Since he is my guide, 'Tis mine to obey ;

'Tis his to provide ; Though cisterns be broken,

And creatures all fail, The word he hath spoken

Shall surely prevail.

3 His love in time past

Forbids me to think He'll leave me at last

In trouble to sink : Each sweet Ebenezer

I have in review Confirms his good pleasure

To help me quite through.

4 Since all that I meet

Shall work for my good, The bitter is sweet,

The medicine is food ; Though painful at present,

'Twill cease before long, And then, oh ! how pleasant

The conqueror's song !

28 "soon and for ever."

"SOON and for ever:"

Such promise our trust, Though ashes to ashes,

And dust unto dust ; " Soon and for ever "

Our union shall be Made perfect, our glorious

Redeemer, in thee.

2 When the sins and the sorrows

Of time shall be o'er, Its pangs and its partings

Remembered no more, Where life cannot fail, and where

Death cannot sever, Christians with Christ shall be

" Soon and for ever."

3 " Soon and for ever "

The work shall be done, The warfare accomplished,

The victory won : " Soon and for ever "

The soldier lays down His sword for a harp, and

His cross for a crown.

4 Then droop not in sorrow,

Despond not in fear, A glorious to-moiTow

Is brightening and near ; When, blessed reward of each

Faithful endeavour ! Christians with Christ shall be,

"Soon and for ever."

29 " THE LORD WILL PROVIDE."

THOUGH troubles assail,

And dangers affright, Though friends should all fail,

And foes all unite : Yet one thing secures us,

Whatever betide, The Scripture assures us

The Lord will provide.

2 The birds without barn

Or storehouse are fed, From them let us learn

To trust for our bread : His saints, what is fitting,

Shall ne'er be denied, So long as 'tis written,

The Lord will provide.

3 We may, like the ships,

By tempests be tost On perilous deeps,

But cannot be lost : Though Satan enrages

The wind and the tide, The promise engages

The Lord will provide.

4 His call we obey,

Like Abra'm of old, Not knowing our way,

But faith makes us bold : For though we are strangers,

We have a good guide, And trust in all dangers,

The Lord will provide.

ABIDE WITH ME.

xVBIDE with me ! fast falls the eventide ; The darkness deepens ; Lord, with me

abide ! When other helpers fail, and comforts

flee, Help of the helpless, 0 abide with me !

2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little

day; _ [away ;

Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass Change and decay in all around I see ; 0 thou, who changes t not, abide with me !

3 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word ; But, as thou dwell'st with thy disciples

Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free, Come, not to sojourn, but abide, with me !

4 Come not in terrors, as the King of

kings ; [wings

But kind and good, with healing in thy Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea ; Come, Friend of sinners, and thus 'bide

with me !

5 Thou on my head in early youth didst smile ; [while,

And, though rebellious and perverse mean- Thou hast not left me, oft as I left thee : On to the close, 0 Lord, abide with me !

I need thy presence every passing hour: What but thy grace can foil the tempter's

power ?

Who like thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, 0 abide with

me !

7 I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless : Ills have no weight, and tears no bitter- ness : [victory 1

Where is death's sting 1 where, grave, thy I triumph still, if thou abide with me !

[eyes;

8 Keep thou thy cross before my closing Shine through the gloom, and point me to

the skies. Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain

shadows flee : In life and death, 0 Lord, abide with me !

31 THE LORD'S TABLE.

HERE, 0 my Lord, I see thee face to face;

Here would I touch, and handle things un- seen ;

Here grasp with firmer hand the eternal grace,

And all my weariness upon thee lean.

2 Here would I feed upon the bread of God ; Here drink with thee the royal wine of

heaven ; Here would I lay aside each earthly load, Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven.

3 This is the hour of banquet and of song, This is the heavenly table spread for me ; Here let me feast, and, feasting, still prolong The brief bright hour of fellowship with thee.

5 I have no help but thine ; nor do I need Another arm save thine to lean upon. It is enough, my Lord, enough, indeed ; My strength is in thy might, thy might

alone.

6 I have no wisdom, save in him who is My wisdom and my teacher, both in one ; No wisdom can I lack while thou art wise, Xo teaching do I crave, save thine alone.

7 Mine is the sin, but thine the righteous-

ness ; Mine is the guilt, but thine the cleansing

blood ; Here is my robe, my refuge, and my

peace; Thy blood, thy righteousness, 0 Lord, my

God.

8 But see, the pillar-cloud is rising now,

4 Too soon we rise; the symbols disap- pear ;

The feast, though not the love, is past and I

gone ; And moving onward through the desert-

The bread and wine remove, but thou art' night ;

here ; It beckons, and I follow, for I know

Nearer than ever ; still my shield and sun. It leads me to the heritage of light.

32 THE GREAT HIGH PRIEST.

WHEEE high, the heavenly temple

stands, The honse of God, not made with hands, A great High Priest our nature wears, The Guardian of mankind appears. He who for men their surety stood, And poured on earth his precious blood, Pursues in heaven his mighty plan, The Saviour and the Friend of man. Though now ascended up on high, He bends on earth a brother's eye ; Partaker of the human name, He knows the frailty of our frame. Our fellow-sufferer yet retains A fellow-feeling of our pains ; And still remembers in the skies, His tears, his agonies, and cries. In every pang that rends the heart, The Man of Sorrows had a part ; He sympathizes with our grief, And to the sufferer sends relief. With boldness therefore at the throne Let us make all our sorrows known j And ask the aids of heavenly power To help us in the evil hour.

33 THE SABBATH.

LORD of the Sabbath ! hear us pray, In this thy house, on this thy day ; And own as grateful sacrifice The songs which from thy people rise. Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love ; But there's a nobler rest above ; To that our labouring souls aspire With ardent hope and strong desire.

No more fatigue, no more distress ; No guilt the conscience to oppress ; No groans to mingle with the songs Resounding from immortal tongues : No rude alarms of raging foes ; No cares to break the long repose ; No midnight shade, no clouded sun, But sacred, high, eternal noon. 0 long-expected day, begin ! Dawn on these realms of woe and sin ! Pain would we leave this weary road, And sleep in death to rest with God ! 34 psalm c.

BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations, bow with sacred joy ; Know that the Lord is God alone, He can create, and he destroy. His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men ; And when, like wandering sheep, we

strayed, He brought us to his fold again. We are Ins people, we his care, Our souls and all our mortal frame : What lasting honours shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to thy name 1 rSOnfrs We'll crowd thy gates with thankful High as the heavens our voices raise ; And earth, with her ten thousand

tongues, [praise.

Shall fill thy courts with sounding

Wide as the world is thy command, Vast as eternity thy love ; Firm as a rock thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.

35 SOCIAL WORSHIT.

JESUS, where'er thy people meet, There they behold thy mercy-seat ; Where'er they seek thee thou art found, And every place is hallowed ground.

2 For thou, within no walls confined, Inliabitest the humble mind ;

Such ever bring thee where they come, And going, take thee to their home.

3 Great Shepherd of thy chosen few, Thy former mercies here renew ; Here to our waiting hearts proclaim The sweetness of thy saving name.

4 Here may we prove the power of prayer, To strengthen faith and sweeten care, To teach our faint desires to rise, And bring all heaven before our eyes.

5 Lord, we are few, but thou art near ; Xor short thine arm, nor deaf thine ear : Orend the heavens, come quickly down, And make a thousand hearts thine own.

THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

36

JESUS, thy blood and righteousness My beauty are, my glorious dress : 'Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed With joy shall I lift up my head.

2 When from the dust of death I rise, To claim my mansion in the skies, Even then,— this shall be all my plea, Jesus hath lived, hath died for me.

3 Bold shall I stand in that great day ; For who aught to my charge shall lay ? Fully absolved through these I am, From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.

2

4 This spotless robe the same appears, "When ruined nature sinks in years ; No age can change its lovely hue ; Its glory is for ever new.

5 0 let the dead now hear thy voice ; Now bid thy banished ones rejoice ; Their beauty this, their glorious dress, Jesus, the Lord our Righteousness.

37* G0D GLORIFIED IN CREATION.

THE spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim.

2 The unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator's power display ; And publishes to every land

The work of an Almighty hand.

3 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And, nightly to the listening earth, Repeats the story of her birth ;

4 While all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll,

And spread the truth from pole to pole.

5 What though in solemn silence all Move round the dark terrestrial ball ? What though no real voice, nor sound. Amidst their radiant orbs be found 1

6 In Reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice ; For ever singing, as they shine,

" The hand that made us is divine."

Once for favoured sinners slain : Thousand thousand saints attending

Swell the triumph of his train : Hallelujah !

Jesus conies, and comes to reign.

2 Every eye shall now behold him,

Robed in dreadful majesty ; Those who set at nought and sold him, Pierced, and nailed him to the tree,

Deeply wailing, Shall the true Messiah see.

3 When the solemn trump has sounded,

Heaven and earth shall flee away ; All who hate him must, confounded, Hear the summons of that day j

Come to judgment ! Come to judgment, come away !

4 Xow redemption, long expected,

See in solemn pomp appear ! All his saints, by man rejected, Now shall meet him in the air :

Hallelujah ! See the day of God appear ! 2 *

Yea, Amen ! let all adore thee, High on thine eternal throne :

Saviour, take the power and glory ; Make thy righteous sentence known

Oh, come quickly, Claim the kingdom, for thine own.

Pilgrim through this barren land : I am weak, but thou art mighty ;

Hold me with thy powerful hand ! Bread of heaven !.

Feed me now and evermore !

2 Open now the crystal fountain,

Whence the healing streams do flow ; Let the fiery, cloudy pillar

Lead me all my journey through :

Strong deliverer ! Be thou still my strength and shield !

3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,

Bid my anxious fears subside ; Death of death, and hell's destruction, Land me sai'e on Canaan's side.

Songs of praises I will ever give to thee !

PSALM LXXXIV.

LORD of the worlds above,

How pleasant and how fair The dwellings of thy love, Thine earthly temples are ! To thine abode my heart aspires, With warm desires to see my God.

2 Oh happy sonls that pray

Where God appoints to hear ! Oh happy men that pay

Their constant service there ! They praise thee still ; and happy they That love the way to Zion's hill.

3 They go from strength to strength,

Through this dark vale of tears, Till each arrives at length,

Till each in heaven appears. Oh glorious seat, when God our King Shall thither bring our willing feet.

4 To spend one sacred day

Where God and saints abide, Affords diviner joy

Than thousand days beside : Where God resorts, I love it more To keep the door, than shine in courts.

5 The Lord his people loves ;

His hand no good withholds

From those his heart approves,

From pure and pious souls :

Thrice happy he, 0 God of hosts,

Whose spirit trusts alone in thee.

41

TITLES OF CHRIST.

JOIX all the glorious names

Of wisdom, love, and power, That ever mortals knew, That angels ever bore : All are too mean to speak his worth, Too mean to set my Saviour forth.

2 Great Prophet of my God,

My tongue would bless thy name u By thee the joyful news

Of our salvation came ; The joyful news of sins forgiven, Of hell subdued, and peace with heaven.

3 Be thou my Counsellor,

My Pattern and my Guide, And through this desert land

Still keep me near thy side : 0 let my feet ne'er run astray, Nor rove, nor seek the crooked way.

4 Jesus, my great High Priest,

Offered his blood and died ; My guilty conscience seeks

No sacrifice beside : His powerful blood did once atone ; And now it pleads before the throne.

5 My Saviour and my Lord,

My Conqueror and my King, Thy sceptre and thy sword, Thy reigning grace. I sing : Thine is the power ; behold, I sit Ln willing bonds before thy feet.

EEJOICE, the Lord is King ; Your Lord and King adore ; Mortals, give thanks and sing, And triumph evermore : Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice, Eejoice, again I say, rejoice.

2 Jesus the Saviour reigns,

The God of truth and love ; When he had purged our stains, He took his seat above : Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice, Eejoice, again I say, rejoice.

3 His kingdom cannot fail,

He rules o'er earth and heaven ; The keys of death and hell

Are to our Jesus given : Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice, Eejoice, again I say, rejoice.

4 He sits at God's right hand,

Till all his foes submit, And bow to his command,

And fall beneath his feet : Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice, Eejoice, again I say, rejoice.

5 Eejoice in glorious hope,

Jesus the Judge shall come, And take his servants up

To their eternal home : We soon shall hear th' archangel's voice. The trump of God shall sound, Eejoice.

43

THE LORD IS RISEN.

YES ! the Eedeemer rose ;

The Saviour left the dead, And o'er our hellish foes

High raised his conquering head. In wild dismay, the guards around Fell to the ground, and sank away.

Lo ! the angelic bands

In full assembly meet, To wait his high commands, And worship at his feet ; Joyful they come, and wing their way From realms of day to such a tomb.

Then back to heaven they fly,

And the glad tidings bear. Hark ! as they soar on high, What music fills the air ! Their anthems say, — Jesus, who bled, Hath left the dead ; he rose to-day.

4 Ye mortals, catch the sound,

Eedeemed by him from hell ; And send the echo round

The globe on which you dwell : Transported, cry, — Jesus, who bled, Hath left the dead, no more to die.

5 All hail ! triumphant Lord,

Who sav'st us with thy blood : Wide be thy name adored, Thou rising, reigning God ! With thee we rise, with thee we reign, And empires gain beyond the skies.

Cities thou hast destroyed, with them Is their remembrance gone.

Just judgment he shall minister Unto the nations all.

8 Yea, he, Jehovah, shall For the oppressed one prove

A refuge in the day of fear, A refuge from above.

9 And they that know thy name In thee their trust will place,

For thou hast not forsaken them, 0 Lord, who seek thy face.

10 Sing to Jehovah, sing

To him, whose dwelling high Is Zion ; to the nations tell His deeds of majesty.

1 1 When he inquires for blood, He calls to mind his own ;

Nor of his poor and lowly here Forgetteth he the groan.

THE GOD OF ABRAHAM.

THE God of Abraham praise, Who reigns enthroned above, Ancient of everlasting days, And God of love ! Jehovah ! great I Am ! By earth and heaven confest ; I bow and bless the sacred name, For ever blest !

2 The God of Abraham praise ! At whose supreme command

From earth I rise, and seek the joy At his right hand : I all on earth forsake, Its wisdom, fame, and power, And him my only portion make, My shield and tower.

3 The God of Abraham praise ! Whose all-sufficient grace

Shall guide me all my happy days In all my ways : He calls a worm his friend ! He calls himself my God ! And he shall save me to the end Through Jesus' blood !

4 He by himself hath sworn, I on Iris oath depend ;

I shall, on eagle's wings upborne, To heaven ascend ; I shall behold his face, I shall his power adore, And sing the wonders of his grace For evermore !

5 The God who reigns on high The great archangels sing ;

And, " Holy, holy, holy," cry,

" Almighty King !

Who was and is the same,

And evermore shall be ;

Jehovah, Father, great I Am,

We worship Thee."

G The whole triumphant host Give thanks to God on high ; "Hail ! Father, Son, and Holy Ghost !' They ever cry : Hail ! Abraham's God, and mine ! I join the heavenly lays ; All might and majesty are thine, And endless praise !

Let angels prostrate fall ; Bring forth the royal diadem,

To crown him Lord of all.

And, as they tune it, fall Before his face who tunes their choir, And crown him Lord of all.

3 Crown him, ye martyrs of your God,

Who from his altar call ; Extol the stem of Jesse's rod, And crown him Lord of all.

4 Ye seed of Israel's chosen race,

A remnant weak and small,

CHRIST LORD OF ALL.

Hail him who saves you- by his grace, And crown him Lord of all.

5 Sinners ! whose love can ne'er forget

The wormwood and the gall, Go, spread your trophies at his feet, And crown him Lord of all.

6 Let every kindred, every tribe

On this terrestrial ball, To him all majesty ascribe, And crcwn him Lord of all.

We at his feet may fall, Join in the everlasting song, And crown him Lord of all !

50 PSALM I.

0 BLEST is lie who never walks In counsels where the ungodly meet, Nor in the way of sinners stands, Nor sitteth in the scorner's seat.

2 The man who in Jehovah's law [light, Hath learned to place his whole de- And on his word of wisdom loves

To meditate both day and night.

3 He shall be like a tree that stands Beside a stream of water clear, And in its season yields its fruit, And keeps its foliage all the year.

4 All things shall prosper 'in his hand : The ungodly have no root nor stay, Like chaff which from the threshing floor Before the wind is whirled away.

5 They shall not in the judgment stand, No place among the blest is theirs : The Lord, who loves the good man's way, For him a joyful home prepares.

51 THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

THOU glorious Sun of righteousness, On this day risen to set no more, Shine on me now to heal, to bless, With brighter beams than e'er before.

2 Shine on thy work of grace within, On each celestial blossom there ; Destroy each bitter root of sin, Ami make thy garden fresh and fur.

3 Shine on thy pure eternal word, Its mysteries to my soul reveal ;

And whether read, remembered, heard, Oh let it quicken, strengthen, heal.

: Shine, till thy glorious beams shall chase The blinding film from every eye ! Till every earthly dwelling-place Shall hail the day-spring from on high ! Shine on, shine on, eternal Sun ! Pour richer floods of life and light, Till that bright Sabbath be begun, That glorious day which knows no night.

52 TIIE PERPETUAL TRIBUTE.

GOD of my life, through all its days My grateful powers shall sound thy

praise ; The song shall wake with opening light, And echo to the silent night.

! When anxious cares would break my rest, And griefs would tear my throbbing breast, Thy tuneful praises raised on high, Shall check the murmur and the sigh.

I When death o'er nature shall prevail, And all its powers of language fail, Joy through my swimming eyes shall

break, And mean the thanks I cannot speak. But oh ! when that last conflict's o'er, And I am chained to flesh no more, With what glad accents shall I rise To join the music of the skies. Soon shall I learn the exalted strains Which echo through the heavenly plains; And emulate, with joy unknown, The glowing seraphs round thy throne.

> My cheerful tribute will I give, Long as a deathless soul can live ; A work so sweet, a theme so high, Demands and croAvns eternity.

53

SABBATH EVENING.

MILLIONS within thy courts have met, Millions this day "before thee bowed ; Their faces Zion-ward were set, Yows with their lips to thee they vowed : People of many a tribe and tongue, Men of strange colours, climates, lands, Have heard thy truth, thy glory sung, And offered prayer with holy hands. And not a prayer, a tear, a sigh, Hath failed this day some suit to gain; To those in trouble thou wert nigh ; iSTot one hath sought thy face in vain. Thy poor were bountifully fed, [rod, Thy chastened sons have kissed the Thy mourners have been comforted, The pure in heart have seen their God. Yet one prayer more— and be it one In which both heaven and earth ac- Fulfil thy promise to thy Son, [cord ; Let all that breathe call Jesus Lord.

54

INFANT BAPTISM.

GOD of that glorious gift of grace By which thy people seek thy face, Wnen in thy presence we appear, Vouchsafe us faith to venture near !

2 Confiding in thy truth alone, Here, on the steps of Jesu's tlLrone, We lay the treasure thou hast given, To be received and reared for heaven.

3 Lent to us for a season — we Lend him for ever, Lord, to thee ; Assured, that if to thee he live, We gain in what we seem to give.

4 Large and abundant blessings shed, Warm as these prayers, upon his head, And on his soul the dews of grace, Fresh as these drops upon his face.

5 Make him and keep him thine own Meek follower of the Under! led; [child, Possessor here of grace and love, Inheritor of heaven above.

55 " J AM THE WAT."

JESUS, my all, to heaven is gone ; He that I place my hopes upon ; His track I see ; and I'll pursue The narrow way, till him I view.

2 The way the holy prophets went, The way that leads from banishment, The King's highway of holiness,

I'll go ; for all the paths are peace.

3 This is the way I long have sought, And mourned because I found it not ; My grief, my burden, long have been Because I could not cease from sin.

4 The more I strove against its power, I sinned and stumbled but the more ; Till late I heard my Saviour sa}r,

" Come hither, soul ! for I'm the way ! "

5 Lo ! glad I come ; and thou, dear Lamb, Shalt take me to thee, as I am : Nothing but sin I thee can give ;

Yet help me, and thy praise I'll live !

6 I'll tell to all poor sinners round What a dear Saviour I have found ; I'll point to thy redeeming blood, And say, " Behold the way to God ! "

(Baton.

56 THE wanderer's return.

WEAEY of wandering from my God, And now made willing to return,

I hear, and bow me to the rod ;

For him, not without hope, I mourn :

I have an Advocate above,

A Friend before the throne of love.

2 0 Jesus, full of pardoning grace,

More full of grace than I of sin ; Yet once again I seek thy face,

Open thine arms and take me in, And freely my backslidings heal, And love the faithless sinner still.

3 Thou knowest the way to bring me

My fallen spirit to restore ; [back, Oh, for thy truth and mercy's sake,

Forgive, and bid me sin no more : The ruins of my soul repair, And make my heart a house of prayer.

4 All ! give me, Lord, the tender heart,

That trembles at the approach of sin ; A godly fear of sin impart,

Implant, and root it deep within ; That I may dread thy gracious power, And never dare offend thee mora

5/ EVENING PRAYER.

Thy word into our minds instil ; And make our lukewarm hearts to glow

With lowly love and fervent will. Through life's long day and death's dark 0 blessed Jesus, be our light, [night,

59 MOUNT ZION.

NOT to the mount that burned with fire, To darkness, tempest, and the sound

Of trumpet waxing higher and higher, Nor voice of words that rent the ground,

While Israel heard, with trembling awe,

Jehovah thunder forth his law :

2 But to Mount Zion we are come,

The city of the living God, Jerusalem, our heavenly home,

The courts by angel-legions trod, Where meet in everlasting love The Church of the first-born above :

3 To God, the Judge of quick and dead,

The perfect spirits of the just, Jesus, our great new-covenant Head,

The blood of sprinkling, — from the dust, That better things than Abel's cries, And pleads a Saviour's sacrifice.

4 0, hearken to the healing voice,

That speaks from heaven in tones so mild ; To-day are life and death our choice ;

To-day, through mercy reconciled, Our all to God we yet may give ; — Now let us hear his voice and live.

60 CREATION, PROVIDENCE, REDEMPTION.

MIGHTY God, while angels bless thee,

May a mortal sing thy name % Lord of men as well as angels,

Thou art every creature's theme : Lord of every land and nation,

Ancient of eternal days, Sounded through the wide creation

Be thy just and endless praise.

2 For the grandeur of thy nature, —

Grand beyond a seraph's thought ; — For the wonders of creation,

"Works with skill and kindness wrought ; For thy providence, that governs

Through thine empire's wide domain, Wings an angel, guides a sparrow j

Blessed be thy gentle reign.

3 But thy rich, thy free redemption,

Bright, though veiled in darkness long ! Thought is poor, and poor expression ;

Who can sing that wondrous song ] Brightness of the Father's glory,

Shall thy praise unuttered lie? Break, my tongue, such guilty silence,

Sing the Lord who came to die.

4 From the highest throne of glory,

To the cross of deepest woe, Thou didst stoop to ransom captives ; —

Flow my praise, for ever flow : — Ee-ascend, Immortal Saviour !

Leave thy footstool, take thy throne ; Thence return, and reign for ever,

Be the kingdom all thine own.

(31 NEAR THE CROSS.

SWEET the moments, rich in blessing,

Which before the cross we spend, Life, and health, and peace possessing,

From the sinner's dying Friend. Here we rest, in wonder viewing

All our sins on Jesus laid, Here we see redemption flowing

From the sacrifice he made.

2 Here we find the dawn of heaven,

While upon the cross we gaze, Sec our trespasses forgiven,

And our songs of triumph raise. Oh ! that near the cross abiding,

We may to the Saviour cleave, Nought with him our hearts dividing,

All for him content to leave.

AT thy feet, our God and Father,

"Who hast blest us all our days, We with grateful hearts would gather,

To begin the year with praise ; — Praise for light so brightly shining

On our steps from heaven above ; Praise for mercies daily twining

Round us golden cords of love.

2 Jesus, for thy love most tender

On the cross for sinners shown, We would praise thee, and surrender

All our hearts to be thine own. With so blest a friend provided,

We upon our way would go, Sure of being safely guided,

Guarded well from every foe.

3 Every day will be the brighter,

When thy gracious face we see ; Every burden will be lighter,

"When we know it comes from thee. Spread thy love's broad banner o'er us.

Give us strength to serve and wait, Till thy glory breaks before us,

Through the city's open gate.

63 THE LAMBS OF THE FLOCK.

SAVIOUR, who thy flock art feeding

With the Shepherd's kindest care, All the feeble gently leading,

While the lambs thy bosom share ; Now, these little ones receiving,

Fold them in thy gracious arm ; There, we know, thy word believing,

Only there, secure from harm !

! Never, from thy pasture roving,

Let them be the lion's prey; Let thy tenderness so loving

Keep them all life's dangerous way Then, within thy fold eternal,

Let them find a resting-place, Peed in pastures ever vernal,

Drink the rivers of thy grace !

64 A prater.

MAY the grace of Christ our Saviour,

And the Father's boundless love, W7ith the Holy Spirit's favour

Rest upon us from above ! Thus may we abide in union

With each other and the Lord ; And possess, in sweet communion,

Joys which earth cannot afford.

65 THE LAST JUDGMENT.

GEEAT God, what do I see and hear !

The end of things created ! The Judge of mankind doth appear

On clouds of glory seated ! The trumpet sounds ; the graves restore The dead which they contained before :

Prepare, my soul, to meet him ! The dead in Christ are first to rise

And greet th' archangel's warning, To meet the Saviour in the skies

On this auspicious morning : No gloomy fears their souls dismay ; His presence sheds eternal day

On those prepared to meet him. Far over space, to distant spheres,

The lightnings are prevailing : The ungodly rise, and all their tears

And sighs are unavailing : The day of grace is past and gone ; They shake before the Judge's throne,

All unprepared to meet him. Stay, fancy, stay, and close thy wings,

Repress thy flight too daring ! One wondrous sight my comfort brings.

The Judge my nature wearing. Beneath his cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away,

And thus prepare to meet him.

QQ CREATOR, PRESERVER.

SING praise to God who reigns above,

The God of all creation, The God of power, the God of love,

The God of our salvation ; With healing balm my soul he fills, And every faithless murmur stills :

To God all praise and glory ! The Angel-host, 0 King of kings,

Thy praise for ever telling, In earth and sky all living things

Beneath thy shadow dwelling, Adore the wisdom which could span, And power which formed creation's plan :

To God all praise and glory ! "What God's almighty power hath made,

His gracious mercy keepeth ; By morning glow or evening shade

His watchful eve ne'er sleepeth ; Within the kingdom of his might, Lo ! all is just, and all is right :

To God all praise and glory ! 0 ye who bear Christ's holy name,

( J i ve God all praise and glory ! All ye who own his power, proclaim

Aloud the wondrous story ; Cast each false idol from his throne, The Lord is God, and he alone :

To God all praise and glory !

(57" "LORD JESUS, RECEIVE MY SPIRIT."

"WIIEX my appointed hour is come

To pass from earth for ever, Lord Jesus, guide me to my home

Across death's gloomy river ; My soid I yield into thy hand, As on life's margin lone I stand :

Thou wilt from harm defend her. In number more than sands on shore

Of ocean are my errors, And they afflict and pain me sore ;

Still death hath lost his terrors, For, Jesus, Lord ! I think of thee, Thy wounds, thy death, endured forme :

Herein is found my comfort. Since I an humble member am

Of thine own body, neither Grim death nor pain can rend in twain

What thus is joined together. So, if I die, I die to thee ; An endless life hast thou for me

By thine own death procured. I shall not in the grave remain,

Since thou death's bonds hast severed; By hope with thee to rise again,

From fear of death delivered. I'll come to thee, where'er thou art, Live with thee, from thee never part ;

Therefore to die is rapture.

> And so to Jesus Christ I go, My longing arms extending • So fall asleep in slumber deep,

Slumber that knows no ending, Till Jesus Christ, God's only Son, Opens the gates of bliss — leads on To heaven, to life eternal !

(33 SINAI AND CALVARY.

THE Lord of might from Sinai's brow

Gave forth his voice of thunder ; And Israel lay on earth below,

Outstretched in fear and wonder : Beneath his feet was pitchy night, And at his left hand, and his right,

The rocks were rent asunder. ! The Lord of love, on Calvary,

A meek and suffering stranger, Upraised to heaven his languid eye,

In nature's hour of danger ; For us, he bore the weight of woe, For us, he gave his blood to flow,

And met his Father's anger. The Lord of love, the Lord of might,

The King of all created, Shall back return to claim his right,

On clouds of glory seated ; With trumpet-sound and angel-song, And hallelujahs loud and long,

O'er death and hell defeated.

THE BRIDEGROOM COMETH.

"WAKE, awake, for night is flying, The watchmen on the heights are crying;

Awake, Jerusalem, at last ! Midnight hears the welcome voices, And at the thrilling cry rejoices :

Come forth, ye virgins, night is past ! The Bridegroom comes, awake, Your lamps with gladness take : Hallelujah ! And for his marriage-feast prepare, "For ye must go to meet him there.

Zion hears the watchmen singing, And all her heart with joy is springing, She wakes, she rises from her gloom ; For her Lord comes down all-glorious, The strong in grace, in truth victorious, Her star is risen, her light is come ! Ah come, thou blessed Lord, 0 Jesus, Son of God, Hallelujah ! "We follow till the halls we see, "Where thou hast hid us sup with thee.

Now let all the heavens adore thee, And men and angels sing before thee

"With harp and cymbal's clearest tone Of one pearl each shining portal, Where we are with the choir immortal Of angels round thy dazzling throne ; Nor eye hath seen, nor ear Hath yet attained to hear "What there is ours ; But we rejoice and sing to thee Our hymn of joy eternally.

From the accursed load. I bring my guilt to Jesus,

To wash my crimson stains White in his blood most precious,

Till not a spot remains.

All fulness dwells in him : He heals all my diseases,

He doth my soul redeem. I lay my griefs on Jesus,

My burdens and my cares ; He from them all releases,

He all my sorrows shares.

This weary soul of mine ; His right hand me embraces,

I on his breast recline. I love the name of Jesus,

Immanuel, Christ, the Lord ; Like fragrance on the breezes,

His name abroad is poured.

Meek, loving, lowly, mild. I long to be like Jesus,

The Father's holy child. I long to be with Jesus,

Amid the heavenly throng, To sing with saints his praises,

To learn the angels' song.

IF God himself be for me,

I may a host defy ; For when I pray, before me

My foes confounded fly. I build on this foundation, —

That Jesus and his blood Alone are my salvation,

The true eternal good.

Sweet words of soothing power, How God to him that seeketh

For rest, hath rest in store. My portion there is lying,

My heritage and lot : Though I am daily dying,

My Canaan withers not.

And knows not how to pine : 'Tis full of joy and singing,

And radiancy divine. The sun whose smiles so cheer me

Is Jesus Christ alone : To have him always near me

Is heaven itself begun.

For I am full of sin ; My soul is dark and guilty,

My heart is dead within ; I need the cleansing fountain,

Where I can always flee — The blood of Christ most precious,

The sinner's perfect plea.

2 I need thee, blessed Jesus !

For I am very poor ; A stranger and a pilgrim,

I have no earthly store ; I need the love of Jesus

To cheer me on my way, To guide my doubting footsteps,

To be my strength and stay.

3 I need thee, blessed Jesus !

And hope to see thee soon, Encircled with the rainbow,

And seated on thy throne ; There, with thy blood-bought chil-

My joy shall ever be [dren,

To sing thy praises, Jesus —

To gaze, my Lord, on thee !

THE FIRST ADVENT.

HAEK ! the herald-angels sing Glory to the new-born King, Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled. Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies ; With the angelic host proclaim Christ is born in Bethlehem.

Hark ! the herald-angels sing Glory to the new-born King.

Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ, the Everlasting Lord, Late in time behold him come, ( Ml spring of a Virgin's womb. Veiled in flesh the Godhead see ! Hail, the Incarnate Deity !

Pleased as Man with men to dwell,

Jesus, our Emmanuel.

Hark ! the herald-angels sing Glory to the new-born King.

Hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace Hail, the Sim of Righteousness ! Light and life to all he brings, Risen with healing in his wings. Mild he lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth. Hark ! the herald-angels sing Glory to the new-born King.

HARVEST HOME.

COME, ye thankful people, come, Eaise the song of harvest-home : All is safely gathered in, Ere the winter storms begin : God our Maker doth provide Eor our wants to be supplied :— Come to God's own temple, come, Eaise the song of harvest-home !

We ourselves are God's own field, Fruit unto his praise to yield ; Wheat and tares together sown, Unto joy or sorrow grown : First the blade, and then the ear, Then the full corn shall appear : Grant, 0 harvest Lord, that we Wholesome grain and pure may be.

For the Lord our God shall come, And shall take his harvest home ; From his field shall in that day All offences purge away ; Give his angels charge at last In the fire the tares to cast j But the fruitful ears to store In his garner evermore.

Then, thou Church triumphant, come, Eaise the song of harvest-home ! All are safely gathered in, Free from sorrow, free from sin ; There for ever purified, In God's garner to abide : Come, ten thousand angels, come, Eaise the glorious harvest-home !

77 SABBATH MUSINGS.

SWEET is the work, my God, my King,

To praise thy name, give thanks and sing ;

To show thy love by morning light,

And talk of all thy truth at night. I Sweet is the day of sacred rest,

No mortal cares shall seize my breast ;

Oh may my heart in tune be found,

Like David's harp of solemn sound. I My heart shall triumph in my Lord,

And bless his works, and bless his word ;

Thy works of grace,how bright theyshine!

How deep thy counsels ! how divine ! : But I shall share a glorious part,

When grace hath well refined my heart

And fresh supplies of joy are shed,

Like holy oil to cheer my head, i Sin, my worst enemy before,

Shall vex mine eyes and ears no more;

My inward foes shall all be slain,

Nor Satan break my peace again. i Then shall I see and hear and know

All I desired or wished below ;

And every power find sweet employ

In that eternal world of joy.

78 god's universal care. THERE'S not a bird, with lonely nest In patliless wood or mountain crest, ISTor meaner thing, which does not share, 0 God ! in thy paternal care. Each barren crag, each desert rude, Holds thee within its solitude ; And thou dost bless the wanderer there, Who makes his solitary prayer.

I In busy mart and crowded street, No less than in the still retreat, Thou, Lord, art near, our souls to bless With all a parent's tenderness.

[ And every moment still doth bring Thy blessings on its loaded wing ; Widely they spread through earth and And last to all eternity. [sky,

i Through all creation let thy name Be echoed with a glad acclaim ! That let the grateful Churches sing ; With that let heaven for ever ring !

! And we, where'er our lot is cast, While life and thought and feeling last, Through all our years, in every place, Will bless thee for thy boundless grace.

79 A prater.

FATHER of heaven, whose love pro- found A ransom for our souls hath found, Before thy throne we sinners bend, To us thy pardoning love extend. Almighty Son, Incarnate Word, Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord ; Before thy throne we sinners bend, To us thy saving grace extend. Eternal Spirit, by whose breath The soul is raised from sin and death ; Before thy throne we sinners bend, To us thy quickening power extend. Thrice holy ! Father, Spirit, Son ; Mysterious Godhead, Three in One ; Before thy tlirone we sinners bend, Grace, pardon, life, to all extend.

80 PSALM LXXXIV.

HOW pleasant, how divinely fair, 0 Lord of hosts, thy dwellings are ! With long desire my spirit faints To meet the assemblies of thy saints.

! My flesh would rest in thine abode, My panting heart cries out for God ; My God ! my King ! why should I be So far from all my joys and thee 1

> Might I enjoy the meanest place Within thy house, 0 God of grace ! Not tents of ease, nor thrones of power, Should tempt my feet to leave thy door.

: Blest are the saints who sit on high, Around thy throne of majesty ; Thy brightest glories shine above, And all their work is praise and love.

i Blest are the souls who find a place Within the temple of thy grace ; There they behold thy gentler rays, And seek thy face, and learn thy praise.

\ Blest are the men whose hearts are set To find the way to Zion's gate ; God is their strength, and through the They lean upon their helper God. [road Cheerful they walk with growing

strength, Till all shall meet in heaven at length, Till all before thy face appear, And join in nobler worship there.

81 SELF-DEDICATION.

0 HAPPY day, that fixed my choice On thee, my Saviour and my God ! Well may this glowing heart rejoice, And tell its raptures all abroad.

2 0 happy bond, that seals my vows To him who merits all my love ! Let cheerful anthems fill his house, While to that sacred shrine I move.

3 'Tis done : the great transaction's done ; I am my Lord's, and he is mine.

He drew me, and I followed on, Charmed to confess the voice divine.

4 Now rest, my long-divided heart ; Fixed on this blissful centre, rest. With ashes who would grudge to part, When called on angels' bread to feast 1

5 High heaven, that heard the sol emn vo w, That vow renewed shall often hear ; Till in life's latest hour I bow,

And bless in death a bond so dear.

82 lord's day.

ANOTHER six days' work is done, Another Sabbath is begun : Return, my soul ; enjoy thy rest ; Improve the day thy God hath blessed.

2 Come, bless the Lord, whose love assigns So sweet a rest to wearied minds, Provides a rich foretaste of heaven, % And gives this day the food of seven.

3 Oh that our thoughts and thanks may rise As grateful incense to the skies ;

And draw from heaven that sweet repose Which none, but he that feels it, knows.

i In holy duties let the day, In holy pleasures, pass away : How sweet, a Sabbath thus to spend In hope of one that ne'er shall end !

83 EVENING.

SUN of my soul, thou Saviour dear, It is not night if thou he near : Oh may no earth-horn cloud arise, To hide thee from thy servant's eyes.

2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep My wearied eyelids gently steep,

Be my last thought, how sweet to rest For ever on my Saviour's "breast.

3 Ahide with me from morn till eve, For without thee I cannot live ; Ahide with me when night is nigh, For without thee I dare not die.

4 If some poor wandering child of thine Have spurned to-day the voice divine, Now, Lord, the gracious work "begin • Let him no more lie down in sin.

5 Watch hy the sick, enrich the poor With hlessings from thy "boundless store ; Be every mourner's sleep to-night, Like infant's slumbers, pure and light.

6 Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take, Till in the ocean of thy love

We lose ourselves in heaven above.

84 SEASONS.

GEE AT God, we sing that mighty hand By which supported still we stand ; The opening year thy mercy shows, That mercy crowns it till it close. 2 By day, by night, at home, abroad, Still are we guarded by our God ; By his incessant bounty fed, By his unerring counsel led.

With grateful hearts the past we own ; The future, all to us unknown, We to thy guardian care commit, Content with what thou deemest fit. In scenes exalted or depressed, Thou art our joy, and thou our rest ; Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise, Adored throughout our changing days. When death shall interrupt these songs, And seal in silence mortal tongues, Our helper, God, in whom we trust, Shall keep our souls, and guard our dust.

85 THE MEECY-SEAT.

FEOM every stormy wind that blows, From every swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat, 'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat. There is a place, where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads ; A place than all besides more sweet, The blood-besprinkled mercy-seat. There is a scene, where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with

friend : Though sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy-seat. Ah ! whither could we flee for aid, When tempted, desolate, dismayed 1 Or how the hosts of hell defeat, Had suffering saints no mercy-seat ? Oli let my hand forget her skill,' My tongue be silent, cold, and still, This bounding heart forget to beat, If I forget thy mercy-seat.

86 FROM THE DEPTHS.

GOD of my life, to thee I call, Afflicted at thy feet I fall ; When the great water-floods prevail, Leave not my trembling heart to fail !

! Friend of the friendless and the faint, Where should I lodge my deep complaint? Where but with thee, whose open door Invites the helpless and the poor !

I Did ever mourner plead with thee, And thou refuse that mourner's plea 1 Does not the word still fixed remain, That none shall seek thy face in vain ? That were a grief I could not bear, Didst thou not hear and answer prayer ; But a prayer-hearing, answering God, Supports me under every load. Fair is the lot that's cast for me ; I have an Advocate with thee : They whom the world caresses most Have no such privilege to boast. Poor though I am, despised, forgot, Yet God, my God, forgets me not \ And he is safe, and must succeed, For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead.

87 psalm cxlv.

]\IY God, my King, thy various praise Shall fill the remnant of my days ; Thy grace employ my humble tongue Till death and glory raise the song. The wings of every hour shall bear Some grateful tribute to thine ear ; And every setting sun shall see Xew works of duty done for thee.

3 Thy truth and justice I'll proclaim ; Thy bounty flows — an endless stream — Thy mercy swift, thine anger slow, Bat dreadful to the stubborn foe.

4 Let distant times and nations raise The long succession of thy praise, And unborn ages make my song The joy and labour of their tongue.

5 But who can speak thy wondrous deeds ? Thy greatness all our thoughts exceeds : Vast and unsearchable thy ways, Vast and immortal be thy praise !

88 BAPTISM.

A LITTLE child the Saviour came, The mighty God was still his name : And angels worshipped as he lay, The seeming infant of a day.

2 He, who a little child, began The life divine to show to jnan, Proclaims from heaven the message free, Let little children come to me.

5 We bring them, Lord, and with the sign Of sprinkled water name them thine : Their souls with saving grace endow, Baptize them with thy Spirit now.

L 0, give thine angels charge, good Lord ! Them safely in thy way to guard ; Thy blessing on their lives command, And write their names upon thy hand.

) 0 thou, who by an infant's tongue Dost hear thy perfect glory sung, May Ihese with all the heavenly host Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

89 THE saviour's sympathy. JESUS, my sorrow lies too deep

For human ministry ; It knows not how to tell itself To any but to thee. ! Thou dost remember still, amid The glories of God's throne, The sorrows of mortality,

For they were once thine own. I Yes : for, as if thou wouldst be God, Even in thy misery, There's been no sorrow but thine own. Untouched by sympathy. : Jesus, my fainting spirit brings Its fearfulness to thee ; Thine eye, at least, can penetrate The clouded mystery. I It is enough, my precious Lord, Thy tender sympathy ! My every sin and sorrow can Devolve itself on thee. > Thy risen life but fits thee more For kindly ministry ;. Thy love unhindered rests upon Each bruised branch in thee. J Jesus ! thou hast availed to search My deepest malady ; It freely Hows — more freely finds The gracious remedy.

90 " lordj HELP ME • "

OH, help us, Lord ! each hour of need,

Thy heavenly succour give ; Help us in thought, and word, and Each hour on earth we live ! [deed,

Oh, help us when our spirits bleed With contrite anguish sore ;

And when our hearts are cold and dead, Oh, help us, Lord, the more !

Oh, help us, through the prayer of« More firmly to believe ; [faith,

For still the more the servant hath, The more shall he receive.

4 If strangers to thy fold we call, Imploring at thy feet The crumbs that from thy table fall, 'Tis all we dare entreat.

But be it, Lord of mercy, all, So thou wilt grant but this :

The crumbs that from thy table fall Are light, and life, and bliss.

Oh, help us, Jesus, from on high !

We know no help but thee : Oh, help us so to live and die,

As thine in heaven to be !

91 A PRAYER.

FATHER, whate'er of earthly bliss

Thy sovereign will denies, Accepted at thy throne of grace

Let this petition rise : —

I Give me a calm and thankful heart, 'From every murmur free ; The blessings of thy grace impart, And let me live to thee.

\ Let the sweet hope that thou art mine 'My life and death attend ; Thy presence through my journey shine, And crown my journey's end.

92 PSALM CXXX.

OUT of the deep we call to thee, Lord, we are weak and faint ; Oh let thine ears consider well The voice of our complaint. ! Wert thou our sins extreme to mark, 0 Lord, who should be spared ? But there is mercy with thee, Lord, Therefore thou shalt be feared. \ We look for thee ; our spirits wait ; Our trust is in thy word j Even before the morning watch We flee unto the Lord. [ Trust in the Lord, 0 Israel, For there is mercy there ; And he his people shall redeem From sin, and guilt, and care.

93 Christ's invitation.

THUS spoke the Saviour of the world And raised his eyes to heaven :

To thee, 0 Father ! Lord of all, Eternal praise be given.

2 Thou to the pure and lowly heart

Hast heavenly truth revealed ; "Which from the self-conceited mind Thy wisdom hath concealed.

3 Thou only know'st the Son : from thee

•My kingdom I receive ; And none the Father know but they Who in the Son believe.

4 Come then to me, all ye who groan,

With guilt and fears opprest ; Resign to me the willing heart, And I will give you rest.

5 Take up my yoke and learn of me The meek and lowly mind ; And thus your weary troubled souls Eepose and peace shall find.

G For light and gentle is my yoke j The burden I impose Shall ease the heart, which groaned be- Beneath a load of woes. [fore

BELIEVE ALSO IN ME.

94

NO more let sorrow cloud the eye,

Nor fears the spirit fill ; Though now the parting hour is nigh,

My heart is with you still.

! My Father sent me from above, His mercy's brightest sign ; And if you trust his changeless love, 0, wherefore doubt of mine 1

\ The stretching shadow of the cross Now overcasts my soul ; You sorrow for the coming loss — I long to reach the goal.

[ My love must first be tried by death Before it proves its power, And, through its triumph, give you faith For many an evil hour.

5 Dark days will come when I depart, But cast your care on me, And I, unseen, will keep the heart From fear and fainting free.

1 6 The thorny path that I have trod Is also traced for you ; But where I walked alone with God, I Ye have a Saviour too.

95 " BEHOLD, I STAND AT THE DOOR."

BEHOLD a Stranger at the door ! He gently knocks, has knocked before : Has waited long ; is waiting still ; You use no other friend so ill. Oh gracious attitude ! he stands With melting heart and open hands ; Oh matchless kindness ! and he shows This matchless kindness to his foes. Admit him, for the human breast Ne'er entertained so kind a guest : No mortal tongue their joys can tell With whom he condescends to dwell. : Admit him, ere his anger burn, Lest he depart, and ne'er return ;\ Admit him, or the hour's at hand When at his door denied you'll stand. Open my heart, Lord, enter in, Slay every foe, and conquer sin : Here then to thee I all resign ; My body, soul, and all are thine.

96 THE cross.

WE sing the praise of him who died, Of him who died upon the cross ; The sinner's hope let men deride, For this we count the world but loss.

! Inscribed upon the cross we see, In shining letters, " God is Love ; " He bears our sins upon the tree, He brings us mercy from above.

I The cross ! it takes our guilt away, It holds the fainting spirit up ; It cheers with hope the gloomy day, And sweetens every bitter cup.

It makes the coward spirit brave, And nerves the feeble arm for fight ; It takes its terror from the grave, And gilds the bed of death with light : The balm of life, the cure of woe, The measure and the pledge of love ; The sinner's refuge here below, The angels' theme in heaven above.

I AM THE RESURRECTION.'

97

COME, see the place where Jesus lay, Eor he hath left his gloomy bed : What angel rolled the stone away ? "What spirit brought him from the dead?

2 By his omnipotence he rose, By his own Spirit lived again ; To crush for ever all his foes, To raise for ever ruined men.

3 Those who his image here partake, Though worms in dust their flesh

consume, Shall sleep in Jesus, and awake To life eternal from the tomb.

4 "What shall restore a world from death, Where Satan holds his murderous reign ? Spirit of Jesus, with thy breath Shake the dry bones, revive the slain.

5 Dead while they live are Adam's race, By nature, since their father's fall ; But, lo ! the messengers of grace Proclaim the gospel-hope to all. Hear it, ye dead, of every clime, Before the second death begins ; Come forth to this new life in time, ■ — This resurrection from your sins.

98 FOR MINISTERS.

POUE out thy Spirit from on high ; Lord, thine assembled servants bless ; Graces and gifts to each supply, And clothe us with

thy righteous-

ness.

2 Within thy temple when we stand To teach the truth, as taught by thee, Saviour, like stars in thy right hand The angels of the Churches be !

3 Wisdom, and zeal, and faith impart, Firmness, with meekness from above, To bear thy people on our heart, And love the souls whom thou dost love :

4 To watch, and pray, and never faint, By day and night strict guard to keep, To warn the sinner, cheer the saint, Nourish thy lambs, and feed thy sheep :

5 Then, when our work is finished here, In humble hope our charge resign. When the chief Shepherd shall appear, 0 God ! may they and we be thine !

99 PRAYER FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT.

SAVIOUR, thy Father's promise send ; Spirit of holiness, descend ; Lo, we are waiting for thee, Lord, All in one place with one accord.

2 Come, and convince us all of sin, i 5

Lighting thy lamp our hearts within Thy temples, — but, alas, how slow Thy presence and thy voice to know.

3 Convince us all of righteousness ; Ey that great work thy people bless, Which our High Priest hath wrought

alone, And carried to his Father's throne.

4 Of judgment, Lord, convince us too ; Teach us in Christ all things to view ; 0 make us pure with lightened eyes, Harmless as doves, as serpents wise.

100

HOLY SPIRIT INVOKED.

0 SPIEIT of the living God ! In all thy plenitude of grace, Where'er the foot of man hath trod, Descend on our apostate race !

Give tongues of fire and hearts of love, To preach the reconciling word ; Give power and unction from above, Whene'er the joyful sound is heard.

Be darkness, at thy coming, light ;

Confusion, order in thy path ;

Souls without strength inspire with

might ; Bid mercy triumph over wrath.

0 Spirit of the Lord ! prepare All the round earth her God to meet ; Breathe thou abroad like morning air, Till hearts of stone begin to beat.

Baptize the nations far and nigh ; The triumphs of the cross record ; The name of Jesus glorify, Till every kindred call him Lord.

P.M.

LORD GAVE.

I GIVE thee back tliine own again,

With heart resigned, though aching ; "What comes from thee I know is gain,

The giving and the taking. What best I love, what most I prize, I lay a willing sacrifice,

My God, upon thine altar ; It came from thee, and still is thine, Thy gift I cheerfully resign,

Nor doth my faith e'er falter. 2 Thou takest it ; I know thou hast

Safe lodged with thee my treasure ; And therefore, though my tears How fast,

I give it thee with pleasure. 'Tis better there than here to be, And should I one day come to thee,

It will not then repent me, That unto thee I gave the best And dearest treasure I possessed;

All ! no, it will content me.

3 I only ask for faith, while still

On this poor earth I linger, To take alike the good and ill,

And see in all thy finger ; To bless thy name for all thou dost, And put in thee my steadfast trust,

Whatever may befall me ; To cast on thee my daily care, And every trial meekly bear,

To which thy will may call me. Oh, let me, thou eternal God,

With this strong faith embrace thee, Nor wish for any other good,

As long as I possess thee. Through all the changes of my life, In weal and wroe, in peace and strife,

In wealth and tribulation, Thou slialt be all in all to me, Till I awake, made like to thee,

In heavenly transformation.

Which storms assail in vain ; Moving unruillcil through earth's war The eternal calm to gain.

105 THE LITTLE FLOCK.

CHUKCH of the everlasting God, The Father's gracious choice,

Amid the voices of this earth How feeble is thy voice !

2 Thy words amid the words of earth,

How noiseless and how low ! Amid the hurrying crowds of time, Thy steps how calm and slow !

3 Amid the restless eyes of earth

How steadfast is thine eye, Fixed on the silent loveliness Of the far eastern sky !

4 A little flock ! 'Tis well, 'tis well ;

Such be her lot and name ;

Through ages past it has been so,

And now 'tis still the same.

5 But the chief Shepherd comes at length ;

Her feeble days are o'er, No more a handful in the earth, A little flock no more.

6 No more a lily among thorns,

Weary, and faint, and few, But countless as the stars of heaven, Or as the early dew.

7 Then entering the eternal halls,

In robes of victory, That mighty multitude shall keep The joyous jubilee.

8 Unfading palms they bear aloft,

Unfaltering songs they sing j Unending festival they keep, In presence of the King.

106 THE EFFORT.

APPROACH, my soul, the mercy-seat Where Jesus answers prayer :

There humbly fall "before his feet, For none can perish there.

2 Thy promise is my only plea,

With this I venture nigh : Thou callest burdened souls to thee, And such, 0 Lord, am I.

3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin,

By Satan sorely prest ; By war without, and fears within, I come to thee for rest.

4 Be thou my shield and hiding-place !

That, sheltered near thy side, I may my fierce accuser face, And teU him "Thou hast died."

5 Oh wondrous love ! to bleed and die,

To bear the cross and shame, That guilty sinners such as I Might plead thy gracious name.

6 " Poor tempest-tossed soul, be still,

My promised grace receive : " 'Tis Jesus speaks — I must, I will, I can, I do believe.

107 THE GOSPEL FEAST.

THE King of heaven his table spreads.

And dainties crown the board ; Not paradise with all its joys Could such delight afford. 2 Pardon and peace to dying men, And endless life are given, And precious blood that Jesns shed, To raise the soul to heaven. 4 *

3 Ye hungry poor, that long have strayed In sin's dark mazes, come ;

Come from the hedges and highways, And grace shall find you room.

4 Millions of souls in glory now

Were fed and feasted here ■ And millions more, still on the way, Around the board appear.

5 Yet are his house and heart so large,

That millions more may come, Nor could the wide assembling -world O'erfill the spacious room.

5 All things are ready ; come away, Nor weak excuses frame ; Crowd to your places at the feast, And bless the Founder's name.

108 THE NAME ABOVE EVERY OTHER.

JESUS ! the name I love so well,

The name I love to hear ! No saint on earth its worth can tell,

No heart conceive how dear.

2 It bids my trembling soul rejoice,

And dries each rising tear ; It tells me in a still small voice, To trust and not to fear.

3 This name shall shed its fragrance still

Along this thorny road ; Shall sweetly smooth the rugged hill That leads me up to God.

4 And there with all the blood-bought

From sin and sorrow free, [throng, I'll sing the new, eternal song Of Jesu's love to me.

109 PSALM CXLVIII.

HALLELUJAH ! Praise the Lord ! From the heavens, with one accord, Praise he to Jehovah given ; Praise him in the heights of heaven.

Praise him, all his angel choir, Praise him, ye his hosts of fire ; Praise him, sun and moon so bright, Praise him, all ye stars of light.

Praise him, heaven of heavens so high, Praise him, floods above the sky • In his name let all be glad, For he spake, and they were made.

Them for ever 'stablished he,

By unchangeable decree :

Prom the earth, praise, praise the Lord,

Dragons, deeps, with one accord.

Hail and lightning, snow and mists, Storms fulfilling his behests, Hills and mighty mountains all, Fruitful trees and cedars talL

Praise him, all ye birds of wing, P>east and herd and creeping thing, Nations on this earthly ball, Kings and princes, judges alL

Youths and maidens, old and young, Praise Jehovah's name in song ; For his name alone is high, And his glory fills the sky.

He his people's horn doth raise, Of his holy ones the praise : Sons of Israel dear and nigh, Praise the Lord eternally.

110 THE RISEN REDEEMER.

CHRIST the Lord is risen to-day, Sons of men and angels, say : Eaise your joys and triumphs high, Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply.

Love's redeeming work is done, Fought the fight, the battle won : Lo ! our Sun's eclipse is o'er ; Lo ! he sets in blood no more.

Yain the stone, the watch, the seal j Christ hath burst the gates of hell ! Death in vain forbids his rise ; Christ hath opened Paradise !

Lives again our glorious King : Where, 0 death, is now thy sting ? Once he died, our souls to save : Where thy victory, 0 grave 1

Soar we now where Christ has led, Following our exalted Head ; Made like him, like him we rise ; Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.

What though once we perished all, Partners in our parents' fall % Second life we now receive, In our heavenly Adam live.

Hail the Lord of earth and heaven ! Praise to thee by both be given ! Thee we greet triumphant now ! Hail, the resurrection thou !

King of glory, soul of bliss ! Everlasting life is this, Thee to know, thy power to prove, Thus to sine and thus to love !

PSALM CXLTX.

PEAISE ye to Jehovah bring !

To the Lord a new song sing \

Let the mighty gathering

Of his saints with praises ring.

In Jehovah, who them made,

Let his Israel be glad ;

Let the sons of Zion sing,

And be joyful in their King.

Let them praise his holy name ;

In the dance extol his fame,

On the harp and timbrel raise

Songs of triumph to his praise. : For Jehovah doth rejoice

In the people of his choice ;

And with his salvation high

He the meek will beautify, i Let the saints in glory praise,

On their beds their song upraise,

In their mouth praise to the Lord,

In their hand the two-edged sword J > On the heathen wrath to pour,

On the people judgment sore,

Fast to bind the kingly train,

Nobles with the iron chain, ' Executing on their head

The unerring doom of dread.

All his saints this honour claim ; —

Praise Jehovah, laud his name !

112 LIVING SACRIFICE.

GREAT High-priest, who deign'dst to Once the sacrifice for me, [be

Take this living heart of mine, Lay it on thy holy shrine.

Love I know accepteth nought, Save what love itself hath wrought ; Offer thou my sacrifice, Else to God it cannot rise.

Slay in me the wayward will, Earthly sense and passion kill, Tear self-love from out my heart, Though it cost me bitter smart.

So may God, the righteous, brook On my sacrifice to look ; In whose sight no gift has worth, Save a Christ-like life on earth.

J 3 TRUST IN GOD.

SOVEREIGN Ruler of the skies, Ever gracious, ever wise, All my times are in thy hand ; All events at thy command.

His decree who formed the earth, Fixed my first and second birth : All my times shall ever be Ordered by his wise decree :

I Times of sickness, times of health ; Times of penury and wealth ; Times of trial and of grief ; Times of triumph and relief.

: 0 thou gracious, wise, and just,

In thy hands rny life I trust.

Have I somewhat dearer still?

I resign it to thy wilL > May I always own thy hand ;

Still to the surrender stand.

Thee, at all times, would I bless ;

Thee, in whom I all possess.

114 PSALM CXLVIII.

PRAISE ye the Lord ! on every height

Songs to his glory raise ; Ye angel-hosts, ye stars of night,

Join in immortal praise. 0 heaven of heavens, let praise far swelling

From all thine orbs be sent : Join in the strains, ye waters, dwelling

Above the firmament. For his the word which gave you birth,

And majesty and might : Praise to the Highest from the earth,

And let the deeps unite. 0 fire and vapour, hail and snow,

Ye servants of his will ; 0 stormy winds, that only blow

His mandates to fulfil ; Mountains and rocks, to heaven that

Fair cedars of the wood ; [rise j|

Creatures of life that wing the skies,

Or track the plains for food ; Judges of nations ; kings, whose hand

Waves the proud sceptre high ; 0 youths and virgins of the land,

0 age and infancy ; Praise ye his name, to whom alone

All homage should be given ; Whose glory from the eternal throne

Spreads wide o'er earth and heaven.

115 psalm LXXXV.

THE Lord will come and not be slow,

His footsteps cannot err ; Bofore him righteousness shall go,

His royal harbinger.

Truth from the earth, like to a flower, Shall bud and blossom then :

And justice, from her heavenly bower, Look down on mortal men.

Rise, Lord, judge thou the earth in This longing earth redress ; [might,

For thou art he who shall by right The nations all possess.

The nations all whom thou hast made Shall come, and all shall frame

To bow them low before thee, Lord, And glorify thy name.

For great thou art, and wonders great By thy strong hand are done ;

Thou, in thine everlasting seat, Remainest God alone.

PRAISE TO THE REDEEMER.

116

TO him that loved the souls of men, And washed us in his blood,

To royal honours raised our head, And made us priests to God ; —

To him let every tongue be praise,

And every heart be love ! All grateful honours paid on earth,

And nobler songs above !

Behold, on flying clouds he comes !

His saints shall bless the day ; While they that pierced him sadly

In anguish and dismay. [mourn

Thou art the first, and thou the last ;

Time centres all in thee, The Almighty God, who was, and is,

And evermore shall be.

l^ TRIUMPH OVER DEATH.

WHEN the last trumpet's awful voice This rending earth shall shake,

When opening graves shall yield their And dust to life awake ; — [charge

I Those bodies that corrupted fell Shall incoiTupted rise ; And mortal forms shall spring to life Immortal in the skies.

3 Behold, what heavenly prophets sung,

Is now at last fulfilled, [reign,

That death should yield his ancient And, vanquished, quit the field.

4 Let Faith exalt her joyful voice,

And thus begin to sing : 0 Grave ! where is thy triumph now ? And where, 0 Death ! thy sting 1

5 Thy sting was sin, and conscious guilt ; —

'Twas this that armed thy dart ; The law gave sin its strength and force To pierce the sinner's heart :

6 But God, whose name be ever blessed,

Disarms that foe we dread, And makes us conquerors when we die Through Christ our living Head

7 Then steadfast let us still remain,

Though dangers rise around, And in the work prescribed by God, Yet more and more abound ;

8 Assured that though we labour now,

We labour not in vain, But, through the grace of heaven's great The eternal crown shall gain. [Lord,

118 " I KN0W WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED."

I'M not ashamed to own my Lord,

Or to defend his cause, Maintain the glory of his cross,

And honour all his laws. Jesus, my Lord ! I know his name ;

His name is all my boast ; Nor will he put my soul to shame,

Nor let my hope be lost. I I know that safe with him remains,

Protected by his power, What I've committed to his trust

Till the decisive hour. : Then will he own his servant's name

Before his Fathei's face, And in the New Jerusalem

Appoint my soul a place.

119 THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

ETERNAL Sun of Eighteousness !

Display thy beams divine ; And cause the brightness of thy face

Upon our heart to shine. I Light in thy light, oh may we see,

Thy grace and mercy prove ; [thee, Renewed, and saved, and blessed by

The God of pardoning love.

3 Lift up thy countenance serene,

And let each happy child Behold, without a cloud between, His Father reconciled.

4 That all-comprising peace bestow,

Sweet pledge of sin forgiven ; The joys of holiness below, And then the joys of heaven.

JEHOVAH praise ! Praise God Within his sanctuary ! Oh praise him in his place of power, His firmament on high.

2 Praise him for all his deeds Of majesty and power ;

For greatness and for excellence, Oh praise him every hour.

3 With the clear trumpet's sound Lift ye his glory high,

Upon the harp his praises speak, And on the psaltery.

4 With timbrel and with dance His majesty proclaim ;

Praise him with stringed instruments, With organs praise his name.

5 On the loud cymbals praise ! Praise him, each breathing thing ;

On the high-sounding cymbals praise Unto Jehovah sing !

Eaise the dejected soul to hope, And make the lofty bow.

3 In countries far from home, On earthly husks we feed ;

Back to our Father's house, 0 Lord, Our wandering footsteps lead.

4 Then at each soul's return,

The heavenly harps shall sound, " He that was dead now lives again, He that was lost is found ! "

And, joyful in the house of prayer, Bend at the mercy-seat.

4 Pray for Jerusalem, The city of our God :

The Lord from heaven be kind to them That love the dear abode !

5 Within these walls may peace And harmony be found :

Zion, in all thy palaces, Prosperity abound !

Oft as they meet for worship here, God send his people peace !

Welcome news to Zion bearing — Zion long in hostile lands :

Mourning captive, God himself will loose thy bands.

2 Has thy night been long and mournful 1

Have thy friends unfaithful proved 1 Have thy foes been proud and scornful, By thy sighs and tears unmoved ?

Cease thy mourning — Zion still is well beloved

3 Lo ! the Sun is risen in glory,

God himself appears thy friend ; All thy foes shall flee before thee, Here their boast and triumphs end ;

Great deliverance Zion's King vouchsafes to send.

4 Enemies no more shall trouble,

All thy warfare now is passed, For thy shame thou shalt have double, Days of peace are come at last :

All thy conflicts End in everlasting rest.

Erom the fight returned victorious, Every knee to him shall bow :

Crown him, crown him ; Crowns become the Victor's brow.

Crown the Saviour, angels, crown him : Eich the trophies Jesus brings :

In the seat of power enthrone him, While the vault of heaven rings :

Crown him, crown him ; Crown the Saviour " King of kings."

Sinners in derision crowned him, Mocking thus the Saviour's claim •

Saints and angels crowd around him, Own his title, praise his name :

Crown him, crown him ; Spread abroad the Victor's fame.

Hark ! those bursts of acclamation !

Hark ! those loud triumphant chords ! Jesus takes the highest station :

Oh what joy the sight affords ! Crown him, crown him ;

" King of kings, and Lord of lords."

130 THE MIND 0F christ-

LORD, as to thy dear cross we flee,

And plead to be forgiven, So let thy life our pattern be,

And form our souls for heaven.

2 Help us through good report and ill,

Our daily cross to bear ; Like thee, to do our Father's will, Our brethren's griefs to share.

3 Let grace our selfishness expel,

Our earthliness refine ; And kindness in our bosoms dwell, As free and true as thine.

4 If joy shall at thy bidding fly,

And grief's dark day come on, "We in our turn would meekly cry, "Father, thy will be done."

5 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife,

Forgiving and forgiven, Oh may we lead the pilgrim's life, And follow thee to heaven.

131 "AS LITTLE CHILDREN."

AS helpless as a child who clings

Fast to his father's arm, And casts his weakness on the strength

That keeps him safe from harm ;

2 So I, my Father, cling to thee,

And thus I every hour Would link my earthly feebleness To thine almighty power.

3 As trustful as a child who looks

Up in his mother's face, And all his little griefs and fears Forgets in her embrace ;

4 So I to thee, my Saviour, look,

And in thy face divine Can read the love that will sustain As weak a faith as mine.

5 As loving as a child who sits

Close by his parent's knee, And knows no want while it can have That sweet society ;

6 So, sitting at thy feet, my heart

Would all its love outpour, [Lord, And pray that thou wouldst teach me, To love thee more and more.

COMPLETE SALVATION.

132

JESUS, thou art my righteousness, For all my sins were thine ;

Thy death hath bought of God my peace, Thy life hath made him mine.

2 For ever here my rest shall be,

Close to thy bleeding side j This all my hope, and all my plea, For me the Saviour died !

3 My dying Saviour and my God,

Fountain for guilt and sin, Sprinkle me ever with thy blood, And cleanse and keep me clean !

4 Wash me, and make me thus thine own;

Wash me, and mine thou art ! Wash me, but not my feet alone ; My hands, my head, my heart !

5 The atonement of thy blood apply,

Till faith to sight improve ; Till hope in full fruition die, And all my soul be love.

Wfozxbm.

133 THE L0RD'S PRATER.

FATHER of all ! we bow to thee,

Who dwell'st in heaven adored ; But present still through all thy works,

The universal Lord. For ever hallowed be thy name

By all beneath the skies ; And may thy kingdom still advance,

Till grace to glory rise. A grateful homage may we yield,

With hearts resigned to thee : And as in heaven thy will is done,

On earth so let it be. From day to day we humbly own

The hand that feeds us still ; Give us our bread, and teach to rest

Contented in thy will. Our sins before thee we confess ;

0 may they be forgiven : As we to others mercy show,

We mercy beg from heaven. Still let thy grace our life direct ;

From evil guard our way ; And in temptation's fatal path

Permit us not to stray. For thine the power, the kingdom

All glory's due to thee : [thine j

Thine from eternity they were,

And thine shall ever be.

134 CLOUD OF WITNESSES.

GIVE me the wings of faith to rise

Within the veil, and see The saints above, how great their joys,

How bright their glories be.

2 Once they were mourning here below,

And poured forth cries and tears ; They wrestled hard, as we do now, With sins, and doubts, and fears.

3 I ask them whence their victory came ;

They, with united breath, Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb, Their triumph to his death.

4 They marked the footsteps that he trod,

— His zeal inspired their breast — And following their incarnate God, They gained the promised rest.

5 Our glorious Leader claims our praise

For his own pattern given, While the long cloud of witnesses Show the same path to heaven.

135 GRACE AND GLORY.

HAPPY the souls to Jesus joined, And saved by grace alone :

Walking in all his ways, they find Their heaven on earth begun.

2 The Church triumphant in thy love,

Their mighty joys we know ; They sing the Lamb in hymns above, And we in hymns below.

3 Thee in thy glorious realm they praise,

And bow before thy throne ; We in the kingdom of thy grace : The kingdoms are but one.

4 The holy to the holiest leads ;

From thence our spirits rise ;

And he that in thy statutes treads

Shall meet thee in the skies.

j&elma.

136 THE pilgrim's song.

A FEW more years shall roll, A few more seasons come ; And we shall be with those that rest, Asleep within the tomb.

2 Then, 0 my Lord, prepare My soul for that great day ;

Oh wash me in thy precious blood, And take my sins away.

3 A few more suns shall set O'er these dark hills of time ;

And we shall be where suns are not, A far serener clime.

4 A few more storms shall beat On this wild rocky shore ;

And we shall be where tempests cease And surges swell no more.

5 A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er,

A few more toils, a few more tears,

And we shall weep no more. G A few more Sabbaths here Shall cheer us on our way ;

And we shall reach the endless rest, The eternal Sabbath-day.

137 "MY TIMES ARE IN TIIY IIAND-' MY times are in thy hand ;

My God, I wish them there : My life, my soul, my all, I leave

Entirely to Thy care. 2 My times are in thy hand, AVI uit ever they may be ; Pleasing or painful, dark or bright, As best may seem to thee.

3 My times are in thy hand, Why should I doubt or fear 1

A father's hand will never cause His child a needless tear.

4 My times are in thy hand, Jesus, the crucified !

The hand my many sins have pierced Is now my guard and guide.

5 My times are in thy hand, I '11 always trust in thee ;

Till I possess the promised land, And all thy glory see.

138 THE L0NG REP0SE-

EEST for the toiling hand, Eest for the anxious brow, Eest for the weary way-worn feet, Eest from all labour now ;

2 Eest for the fevered brain, Eest for the throbbing eye ;

Through these parched lips of thine no more Shall pass the moan or sigh.

3 Soon shall the trump of God Give out the welcome sound,

That shakes thy silent chamber-walls, And breaks the turf-sealed ground.

4 Ye dwellers in the dust, Awake ! come forth and sing !

Sharp has your frost of winter been, 13ut bright shall be your spring.

5 'Twas sown in weakness here, 'Twill then be raised in power;

That which was sown an earthly seed Shall rise a heavenly flower.

COMMIT thou all thy griefs And -ways into his hands, To his sure truth and tender care, Who earth and heaven commands.

2 Who points the clouds their course, Whom winds and seas obey,

He shall direct thy wandering feet, He shall prepare thy way.

3 Thou on the Lord rely ; So safe shalt thou go on ;

Fix on his work thy steadfast eye, So shall thy work be done.

4 iSTo profit canst thou gain By self-consuming care ;

To him commend thy cause ; his ear Attends the softest prayer.

5 Thy everlasting truth, Father ! thy ceaseless love,

Sees all thy children's wants, and knows "What best for each will prove.

6 Thou everywhere hast sway, And all things serve thy might ;

Thy every act pure blessing is, Thy path unsullied light.

7 When thou arisest, Lord, Who shall thy work withstand 1

When all thy children want thou giv'st, Who, who shall stay thy hand '?

140 PARTING.

LOKD, at this closing hour, Establish every heart Upon thy word of truth and power, To keep us when we part.

2 Peace to our brethren give, Fill all our hearts with love ;

In faith and patience may we live, And seek our rest above.

3 Through changes bright or drear, We would thy will pursue ;

And toil to spread thy kingdom her< Till we its glory view.

4 To God the only wise, In every age adored ;

jlory from the Church arise,

Let gi

Through Jesus Christ our Lord !

141

THE PILGRIMS PRAYER.

0 LOKD, refresh thy flock ! Athirst to thee they cry : Thou art the spiritual Kock

Whence they must drink or die.

2 0 Lord, our sickness heal ! Thou, in our sufferings sore,

Wert lifted up, that we might feel Sin's poison-fangs no more.

3 Preserve us, Lord, from death ! Thou art the Lamb whose blood,

On Israel's lintel, spread in faith, A token was for good.

4 With many a bitter herb Of dear-loved sins subdued,

Tis meet that, drest in pilgrim-garb, We take thee for our food.

5 Away those types are cast, — And now thyself we see ;

Yet let each hint, that cheered the past, Still lift our hearts to thee.

142 PSALM XCVIII.

SING unto Jehovah, sing !

Mighty wonders he hath done : His right hand and holy arm

Him the victory hath won.

2 Lo, Jehovah far and wide

His salvation hath made known ; To the nations of the earth

He his righteousness hath shown.

3 Mindful unto Israel he

Of Iris love and truth hath "been ; The salvation of our God

All the ends of earth have seen.

4 To Jehovah shout aloud !

Let the earth with gladness ring. Break ye forth with mighty voice, Break ye forth, rejoice and sing.

5 Praise Jehovah with the harp,

Harp and psalm together bring ;

"With the trump and cornet sound,

Shout ye to the Lord the King.

6 Ocean, let thy fulness roar ;

Earth and dwellers, lift the voice ; Floods and rivers, clap your hands ; Hills, with one accord rejoice

7 Now before Jehovah all ! —

For to judgment cometh he ; Justly he the earth will judge, And the peoples uprightly.

143 THB GOsPEL PUBLISHED.

SPREAD, 0 spread, thou mighty word, Spread the kingdom of the Lord, Wheresoe'er his breath lias given Life to beings meant for heaven.

2 Tell them how the Father's will Made the world and keeps it still, How he sent his Son to save

All who help and comfort crave.

3 Tell of our Redeemer's love, "Who for ever doth remove, By his holy sacrifice,

Ail the guilt that on us lies.

4 Tell them of the Spirit given Now, to guide us up to heaven, Strong and holy, just and true, "Working both to will and do.

5 "Word of Life ! most pure and strong, Lo ! for thee the nations long ; Spread, till from its dreary night All the world awakes to light.

6 Up, the ripening fields ye see, Mighty shall the harvest be, But the reapers still are few, Great the work they have to do.

7 Lord of harvest, let there be

Joy and strength to work for thee ; Let the nations far and near See thy light and learn thy fear.

144 A S0NQ IN THE night.

IN the dark and silent night, Ere has broke the lonely light, We arise, to thee to pay, Lord, the service of this day.

2 Holy Comforter, to thee Our glad praises offer we ; "With the eternal Father one, One with the eternal Son.

3 Pity this frail flesh of ours, "Which, with all his subtle powers, The old tempter would assail ; — Let him not, 0 Lord, prevail.

4 Lord, to thee the flock pertains ; Let it not be held in chains ; Thou, 0 Jesus, with thy blood, Hast redeemed that flock to God.

5 Loving, gracious Shepherd, keep Watch o'er these thy wandering sheep : Bring them to the fold above

On the shoulders of thy love.

6 Smite the hellish enemy,

Bid the prince of darkness flee ; Drive the robber-fiend away, From his jaws, oh, pluck the prey.

7 Triumph now, 0 Christ, our Lord ! Angel-choirs, with glad accord, Sound the praises of our King, Holy, holy, holy, sing.

145 PKAISE OF JESUS.

SWEETER sounds than music knows Charm me in Immanuel's name ;

All her hopes my spirit owes

To his birth, and cross, and shame.

2 WTien he came, the angels sung,

" Glory be to God on high ! " Lord, unloose my stammering tongue, Who should louder sing than I ?

3 Did the Lord a man become,

That he might the law fulfil, Bleed and suffer in my room,

And canst thou, my tongue, be still

i Kb, I must my praises bring,

Though they worthless are and weak ; For should I refuse to sing,

Sure the very stones would speak.

5 Oh ! my Saviour, Shield, and Sun,

Shepherd, Brother, Husband, Friend, Every precious name in one, I will love thee without end.

146 LOVEST THOU ME ?

HAEK, my soul ! it is the Lord ; Tis thy Saviour, hear his word ; Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee : " Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me ?

2 " I delivered thee when bound,

And, when bleeding, healed thy wound ; Sought thee wandering, set thee right, Turned thy darkness into light.

3 " Can a woman's tender care Cease towards the child she bare ? Yes, she may forgetful be,

Yet will I remember thee.

4 " Mine is an unchanging love, Higher than the heights above ; Deeper than the depths beneath, Free and faithful, strong as death.

5 " Thou shalt see my glory soon, When the work of grace is doDe ; Partner of my throne shalt be : Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou me ? "

6 Lord, it is my chief complaint That my love is cold and faint ; Yet I love thee and adore,

Oh ! for grace to love thee more !

147* SAVED BY HOPE.

OH what a lonely path were ours,

Could we, 0 Father, see No home or rest heyond it all,

No guide or help in thee ! But thou art near and with us still,

To keep us in the way That leads along this vale of tears,

To yon bright world of day. There shall thy glory, 0 our God,

Break fully on our view ; And all thy saints rejoice to find

That all thy word was true. There Jesus, on his heavenly throne,

Our wondering eyes shall see ; While we the blest associates there

Of all his joy shall be. Sweet hope ! we leave without a sigh

A blighted world like this, To bear the cross, despise the shame,

For all that weight of bliss.

148 U THE LORD IS MY PORTION."

COMPARED with Christ, in all be- No comeliness I see ; [side

The one thing needful, dearest Lord, Is to be one with thee.

The sense of thine amazing love Into my soul convey ;

Thyself bestow : for thee alone I absolutely pray.

Whatever else thy will withholds, Here, grant me to succeed;

0 let thyself my portion be, And I am blest indeed !

4 Less than thyself will not suffice

My comfort to restore ; More than thyself I cannot have, And thou canst give no more.

5 Whate'er consists not with thy love,

0 teach me to resign ; I'm rich to all the intents of bliss, If thou, 0 God, art mine.

149 "lord, teach us to pray."

LORD, teach thy servants how to pray With reverence and with fear :

Though dust and ashes, yet we may — We must — to thee draw near.

2 We come, 0 God of grace, to thee :

Give broken, contrite hearts ; Give what thine eye delights to see, Truth in the inward parts.

3 Give deep humility, the sense

Of godly sorrow give ; A strong, desiring confidence To see thy face and live.

4 Give faith in that one sacrifice

Which doth for sin atone ; To cast our hopes, to fix our eyes, On Christ, and Christ alone.

5 Give patience, still to wait and weep,

Though mercy long delay ; Courage, our fainting souls to keep, And trust thee, though thou slay.

G Give these, and then thy will be done : Thus strengthened with all might, We, through thy Spirit and thy Son, Shall pray, and pray aright.

REMEMBER ME.

from whom all goodness

150

O THOU

I lift my heart to thee ; [flows,

In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes, Dear Lord, remember me !

2 When groaning on my burdened heart

My sins lie heavily, My pardon speak, new peace impart, In love remember me !

3 Temptations sore obstruct my way ■

And ills I cannot flee : Oh, give me strength, Lord, as my day ; For good remember me !

4 Distrest, in pain, disease, and grief,

This feeble body see ! Grant patience, rest, and kind relief ; Hear, and remember me !

5 If on my nice, for thy dear name,

Shame and reproaches be ; All hail reproach, and welcome shame, If thou remember me !

6 The hour is near ; consigned to death,

I own the just decree : "Saviour !" with my last parting breath, I'll cry, " Remember me ! "

151 PSALM XLII.

AS pants the hart for cooling streams,

When heated in the chase, So pants my soul, 0 God, for thee, And thy refreshing grace. 2 For thee, my God, the living God, My thirsty soul doth pine ; 0 when shall I behold thy face, Thou Majesty divine 1 5 *

1 I sigh to think of happier days, When thou, 0 Lord, wert nigh ; When every heart was tuned to praise, And none more blest than I. : 0 why art thou cast down, my soul 1 Hope still, and thou shalt sing The praise of him who is thy God, Thy health's eternal spring.

152 LOOKING AT THE CROSS.

IN evil long I took delight,

Unawed by sharn^ or fear, Till a new object stxjick my sight,

And stopped my wild career.

I saw one hanging on a tree,

In agonies and blood, Who fixed his languid eyes on me

As near his cross I stood.

Sure never till my latest breath

Can I forget that look ; It seemed to charge me with his death,

Though not a word he spoke.

My conscience felt, and owned the guilt, And plunged me in despair ;

I saw my sins his blood had spilt, And helped to nail him there.

A second look he gave, which said,

" I freely all forgive ; This blood is for thy ransom paid,

I die, that thou may'st live."

With pleasing grief and mournful joy

My spirit now is filled, That I should such a life destroy,

Yet live by him I killed.

REST IN THE LORD.

MY heart is resting, 0 my God, —

I will give thanks and sing ; My heart is at the secret source

Of every precious thing. Now the frail vessel thou hast made

No hand but thine shall fill ; For the waters of the earth have failed,

And I am thirsty still.

I thirst for springs of heavenly life,

And here all day they rise j I seek the treasure of thy love,

And close at hand it lies. And a new song is in my mouth

To long-loved music set ; Glory to thee for all the grace

I have not tasted yet.

Glory to thee for strength withheld,

For want and weakness known ; And the fear that sends me to thyself

For what is most my own. I have a heritage of joy

That yet I must not see ; But the hand that bled to make it mine

Is keeping it for me.

My heart is resting, 0 my God,

My heart is in thy care ; I hear the voice of joy and health

Resounding everywhere. " Thou art my portion," saith my soul,

Ten thousand voices say, And the music of their glad Amen

Will never die away.

154 A saviour's love.

OXE there is, above all others, Well deserves the name of Friend !

His is love beyond a brother's, Costly, free, and knows no end :

They who once his kindness prove,

Find it everlasting love !

2 Which of all our friends, to save us,

Could or would have shed their blood? But our Saviour died to have us

Reconciled in him to God : This was boundless love indeed ! Jesus is a friend in need.

3 Could we bear from one another

What he daily bears from us ? Yet this glorious Friend and Brother

Loves us though we treat him thus : Though for good we render ill, He accounts us brethren still.

4 Oh ! for grace our hearts to soften ;

Teach us, Lord, at length to love : We, alas ! forget too often

What a Friend we have above ; But when home our souls are brought, We will love thee as we ought.

155 INVITATION.

COaEE to Calvary's holy mountain, Sinners ruined by the fall :

Here a pure and healing fountain Flows to you, to me, to all,

In a full, perpetual tide,

Opened when our Saviour died.

Come, in poverty and meanness ;

Come, denied without, within ; From infection and uncleanness,

From the leprosy of sin, Wash your robes and make them white ; Ye shall walk with God in light.

Come in sorrow and contrition, Wounded, impotent, and blind ;

Here the guilty, free remission, Here the troubled, peace may find.

Health this fountain will restore.

He that drinks shall thirst no more :

He that drinks shall live for ever \

'Tis a soul-renewing flood. God is faithful • God will never

Break his covenant in blood, Signed when our Redeemer died, Sealed when he was glorified.

156 REMEMBRANCE.

ACCOKDING- to thy gracious word,

In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord,

I will remember thee. Thy body, broken for my sake,

My bread from heaven shall be ; Thy testamental cup I take,

And thus remember thee. Gethsemane can I forget ?

Or there thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat,

And not remember thee ? When to the cross I turn mine eyes,

And rest on Calvary,

0 Lamb of God, my sacrifice ! I must remember thee : —

Eemember thee, and all thy pains,

And all thy love to me ; Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains,

Will I remember thee. And when these failing lips grow dumb.

And mind and memory flee, When thou shalt in thy kingdom come,

Then, Lord, remember me.

157" H0PE 0F HEAVEN- WHEN I can read my title clear To mansions in the skies,

1 bid farewell to every fear, And wipe my weeping eyes.

! Should earth against my soul engage, And hellish darts be hurled, Then I can smile at Satan's rage, And face a frowning world.

3 Let cares like a wild deluge come, And storms of sorrow fall, May I but safely reach my home, My God, my heaven, my all ;

i There shall I bathe my weary soul In seas of heavenly rest, And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast.

158 WALKING WITH GOD.

OH ! for a closer walk with God, A calm and heavenly frame ;

A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb !

2 Where is the blessedness I knew

When first I saw the Lord ? Where is the soul-refreshing view Of Jesus and his word ?

3 "What peaceful hours I once enjoyed !

How sweet their memory still ! But they have left an aching void, The world can never fill.

4 Eeturn, 0 Holy Dove, return,

Sweet messenger of rest ; I hate the sins that made thee mourn, And drove thee from my breast :

5 The dearest idol I have known,

Whate'er that idol be, Help me to tear it from thy throne, And worship only thee.

6 So shall my walk be close with God,

Calm and serene my frame ; So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb.

159 PSALM XXXIV.

THEOUGH aU the changing scenes of In trouble and in joy, [life,

The praises of my God shall still My heart and tongue employ.

2 The hosts of God encamp around

The dwellings of the just ;

Deliverance he affords to all,

Who on his succour trust.

3 Oh make but trial of his love,

Experience will decide, How blessed are they, and only they, "Who in his truth confide.

4 Fear him, ye saints, and you will then

Have nothing else to fear ; Make you his service your delight, Your wants shall be his care.

5 For God preserves the souls of those

Who on his truth depend, To them and their posterity His blessings shall descend.

160 HOLY SCRIPTURE.

LADEN with guilt and full of fears,

I fly to thee, my Lord, And not a glimpse of hope appears,

But in thy written word.

2 The volume of my Father's grace

Does all my griefs assuage ; Here I behold my Saviour's face Almost in every page.

3 This is the field where hidden lies

The pearl of price unknown ; That merchant is divinely wise Who makes the pearl his own.

Here consecrated water flows, To quench my thirst of sin ;

Here the fair tree of knowledge grows, Nor danger dwells therein.

This is the judge that ends the strife, Where wit and reason fail ;

My guide to everlasting life, Through all this gloomy vale.

0 may thy counsels, mighty God,

My roving feet command ; Nor I forsake the happy road

That leads to thy right hand.

MY SOUL DOTH MAGNIFY.

161

MY soul and spirit, filled with joy, My God and Saviour praise,

Whose goodness did from poor estate His humble handmaid raise.

2 Me, blessed of God, the God of might,

All ages shall proclaim ; From age to age his mercy lasts, And holy is his name.

3 Strength with his arm the Almighty

The proud his looks abased; [showed; He cast the mighty to the ground, The meek to honour raised.

4 The hungry with good things were filled,

The rich with hunger pined :

He sent his servant Israel help,

And called his love to mind ;

5 Which to our fathers' ancient race

His promise did insure, To Abraham and his chosen seed, For ever to endure.

6,6,4; 6,6,6,4.

\ 02 HARVEST.

THE God of harvest praise ; In loud thanksgivings raise

Hand, heart, and voice ; The valleys laugh and sing, Forests and mountains ring, The plains their tribute "bring,

The streams rejoice.

2 Garden and orchard ground Autumnal fruits have crowned —

The vintage glows : Here plenty pours her horn ; There the full tide of corn, Swayed by the breath of morn,

The land o'ernows.

3 The wind, the rain, the sun, Their genial work have done.

Wouldst thou be fed 1 Man, to thy labour bow, Thrust in the sickle now, Reap where thou once didst plough,

God sends thee bread.

4 A few seeds scattered wide God's hand hath multiplied ;

Here thou may'st find Christ's miracle renewed ; With self-producing food, He feeds a multitude —

He feeds mankind.

5 The God of harvest praise ; Hands, hearts, and voices raise

With one accord ; From field to garner throng, Bearing your sheaves along ; And in your harvest song,

liless ye the Lord.

163 THE G00D SHEPHERD.

SHEPHEPJ) of tender youth, Guiding, in love and truth,

Through devious ways ; Christ, our triumphant King, We come thy name to sing, And here our children bring,

To shout thy praise.

2 Thou art our Holy Lord, The all-subduing Word,

Healer of strife : Thou didst thyself abase, That from sin's deep disgrace Thou mightest save our race,

And give us life.

3 0 wisdom's great High Priest ; Thou hast prepared the feast

Of holy love ; And in our mortal pain, None calls on thee in vain ; Help thou dost not refrain,

Help from above.

4 Be ever near our side,

Our Shepherd and our Guide,

Our staif and song : Jesus, thou Christ of God, The way thyself hast trod, Lead us to thine abode ; Make our faith strong.

5 So now, and till we die, Sound we thy praises high,

And joyful sing. Infants, and the glad throng Who to thy Church belong, Unite, and swell the song

To Christ our King.

LET Christian faith and hope dispel The fears of guilt and woe :

The Lord Almighty is our friend, And who can prove a foe 1

2 He who his Son, most dear and loved,

Gave up for us to die, Shall he not all things freely give That goodness can supply ?

Of everlasting love ! Behold the pledge of peace below And perfect bliss above !

Since God hath justified 1 [crime, Who shall charge those with guilt or For whom the Saviour died 1

Triumphant from the grave ; And pleads our cause at God's right Omnipotent to save. [hand,

6 Who, then, can e'er divide us more

From Jesus and his love, Or break the sacred chain that binds The earth to heaven above 1

7 Let troubles rise, and terrors frown,

And days of darkness fall ; — Through him all dangers we'll defy, And more than conquer all.

8 !Nor death, nor life, nor earth, nor hell,

Xor time's destroying sway, Can e'er efface us from his heart, Or make liis love decay.

THE FOUNTAIN OPENED.

THEEE is a fountain filled with blood

Drawn from Immanuel's veins ; And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,

Lose all their guilty stains. The dying thief rejoiced to see

That fountain in his day ; And there may I, though vile as he,

Wash all my sins away.

3 Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood

Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved to sin no more.

4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream

Thy flowing wounds supply, Eedeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die.

5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song,

I'll sing thy power to save ; When this poor lisping, stammering Lies silent in the grave. [tongue

6 Lord, I believe thou hast prepared,

Unworthy though I be, Eor me a blood-bought free reward, A golden harp for me !

7 'Tis strung and tuned for endless years,

And formed by power divine, To sound in God the Father's ears !No other name but thme.

168 PSALM XC.

0 GOD, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come,

Our shelter from the stormy blast, Arid our eternal home :

2 Under the shadow of thy throne

Thy saints have dwelt secure \ Sufficient is thine arm alone, And our defence is sure.

3 Before the hills in order stood,

Or earth received her frame, From everlasting thou art God, To endless years the same.

4 A thousand ages in thy sight

Are like an evening gone ; Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun.

5 The busy tribes of flesh and blood,

With all their lives and cares, Are carried downwards by the flood, And lost in following years.

6 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,

Bears all its sons away ■ They fly forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day.

7 Like flowery fields the nations stand

Pleased with the morning light ; The flowers beneath the mower's hand Lie withering ere 'tis night.

8 Our God, our help in ages past,

Our hope for years to come, Be thou our guard while troubles last, And our eternal home.

169 GRACE ABOUNDING.

SEEK ye the Lord, while yet his ear

Is open to your call ; While offered mercy still is near,

Before his footstool fall.

Let sinners quit their evil ways, Their evil thoughts forego ;

And God, when they to him return, Abounding grace will show.

He pardons with o'erflowing love : For, hear the voice divine !

" My nature is not like to yours, Nor like your ways are mine ;

" But far as heaven's resplendent orbs Beyond earth's spot extend,

As far my thoughts, as far my ways, Your ways and thoughts transcend.

" And as the rains from heaven distil,

Nor thither mount again, But swell the earth with fruitful juice,

And all its tribes sustain ; —

" So not a word that flows from me

Shall ineffectual fall ; But universal nature prove

Obedient to my calL"

With joy and peace shall then be led

The glad converted lands ; The lofty mountains then shall sing ;

The forests clap their hands.

Where briers grew, 'midst barren wilds, Shall firs and myrtles spring ;

And nature, through its utmost bounds, Eternal praises sing.

\}J0 THE MAN OF SORROWS. ISA. LIII. 1 5.

HOW few receive, with cordial faith, The tidings which we bring !

How few have seen the arm revealed Of heaven's eternal King !

2 The Saviour comes ! No outward pomp

Bespeaks his presence nigh ; No earthly beauty shines in him To draw the carnal eye.

3 Fair as a beauteous tender flower

Amidst the desert grows, So, slighted by a rebel race, The heavenly Saviour rose.

4 Eejected and despised of men,

Behold a man of woe ! Grief was his close companion still Through all his life below.

5 Yet all the griefs he felt were ours ;

Ours were the woes he bore : Pangs, not his own, his spotless soul With bitter anguish tore.

6 We held him as condemned by Heaven,

An outcast from his God ; While for our sins he groaned, he bled, Beneath his Father's rod.

7 His sacred blood hath washed our souls

From sin's polluted stain j

His stripes have healed us, and his

Kevived our souls again. [death

\*J\ MESSIAH. ISA. LIII. G — 12.

WE all, like sheep, had gone astray

In ruin's fatal road ; On him were our transgressions laid j

He bore the mighty load.

2 Wronged and oppressed, how meekly

In patient silence stood ! [he

Mute as the peaceful, harmless lamb, When brought to shed its blood.

3 Who can his generation tell 1

From prison see him led ! With impious show of law condemned, And numbered with the dead.

4 'Midst sinners low in dust he lay ;

The rich a grave supplied ; Unspotted was his blameless life ; Unstained by sin he died.

Yet God shall raise his head on high, Though thus he brought him low :

His sacred offering, when complete, Shall terminate his woe.

For, saith the Lord, my pleasure then Shall prosper in his hand ;

His shall a numerous offspring be, And still his honours stand.

His soul, rejoicing, shall behold The purchase of his pain ;

And all the guilty whom he saved Shall bless Messiah's reign.

He with the great shall share the spoil,

And baffle all his foes ; Though ranked with sinners, here he fell,

A conqueror he rose.

He died to bear the guilt of men, That sin might be forgiven :

He lives to bless them and defend, And plead their cause in heaven.

1^2 Messiah's progress, isa. xlii. BEHOLD my Servant ! see him rise

Exalted in my might ! Him have I chosen, and in him

I place supreme delight. On him, in rich effusion poured,

My Spirit shall descend ; My truths and judgments he shall show

To earth's remotest end. Gentle and still shall be his voice,

No threats from him proceed ; The smoking flax he shall not quench,

Nor break the bruised reed. The feeble spark to flames he'll raise ;

The weak will not despise ; Judgment he shall bring forth to truth,

And make the fallen rise. The progress of his zeal and power

Shall never know decline, Till foreign lands and distant isles

Receive the law divine.

1/3 THE father's promise. HE who erected heaven's bright arch,

And bade the planets roll, Who peopled all the climes of earth, And formed the human soul, : Thus saith the Lord, Thee have I My Prophet thee install ; [raised, In right I've raised thee, and in I'll succour whom I call, [strength l I will establish with the lands A covenant in thee, To give the Gentile nations light, And set the prisoners free :

1 4 Asunder burst the gates of brass ;

The iron fetters fall ; And gladsome light and liberty

Are straight restored to all. I am the Lord, and by the name

Of great JEHOVAH known ; No idol shall usurp my praise,

Nor mount into my throne.

1/4 UNIVERSAL PRAISE.

LO ! former scenes, predicted once, Conspicuous rise to view ;

And future scenes, predicted now, Shall be accomplished too.

Sing to the Lord in joyful strains !

Let earth his praise resound, Ye who upon the ocean dwell,

And fill the isles around !

0 city of the Lord ! begin

The universal song ; And let the scattered villages

The cheerful notes prolong.

Let Kedar's wilderness afar

Lift up its lonely voice ; And let the tenants of the rock

With accents rude rejoice ;

Till 'midst the streams of distant lands The islands sound his praise ;

And all combined, with one accord, JEHOVAH'S glories raise.

Sing praise, with all the saints on earth And all the heavenly host,

To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Holy Ghost.

175 CARRYING THE CROSS.

JESUS, I my cross have taken,

All to leave, and follow thee ; Destitute, despised, forsaken,

Thou, from hence, my all shalt be. Perish every fond ambition,

All I've sought, or hoped, or known ; Yet how rich is my condition !

God and heaven are still my own.

Let the world despise and leave me,

They have left my Saviour too ; Iluman hearts and looks deceive me ;

Thou art not, like them, untrue : And, whilst thou shalt smile upon me,

God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends disown me ;

Show thy face, and all is bright.

i Take, my soul, thy full salvation ;

Eise o'er sin, and fear, and care ; Joy to find in every station

Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee !

AVh at a Father's smile is thine ! What a Saviour died to win thee !

Child of heaven, canst thou repine?

4 Haste then on from grace to glory,

Armed by faith, and winged by prayer : Heaven's eternal day's before thee,

God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thine earthly mission,

Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days ; Hope shall change to full fruition,

Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

JT'g ADORATION.

THEE, Jehovah, thee adoring,

Low before thy throne we plead, Humbly there thy grace imploring,

Grace to help in time of need. Thou art our Almighty Saviour,

Let thine arm be still revealed, Cast around thy special favour,

Spread thine everlasting shield.

2 In thy love our heart rejoices,

While thy promises we claim ; Thee we praise with cheerful voices,

Trusting in thy holy name. Lord, thy mercy, without measure,

Fills thy covenant of grace ; Grant to us that heavenly treasure,

For on thee our hopes we place.

PSALM CXLVIII.

AXGELS holy,

High, and lowly, Sing the praises of the Lord ! Earth and sky, all living nature, Man, the stamp of thy Creator, Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord !

Sun and moon bright,

Night and moonlight, Starry temples azure-floored, [ness,

Cloud and rain, and wild winds' mad- Sons of God that shout for gladness, Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord !

Ocean hoary

Tell his glory, Cliffs, where tumbling seas have roared ! Pulse of waters, blithely beating, Wave advancing, wave retreating. Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord !

Pock and high land,

Wood and island, Crag, where eagle's pride hath soared, Mighty mountains, purple-breasted, Peaks cloud-cleaving, snowy-crested, Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord !

Rolling river,

Praise him ever, Prom the mountain's deep vein poured, Silver fountain, clearly gushing, Troubled torrent, wildly rushing, Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord !

Youth, whose morning

Smiles at warning, Age in counsel deeply stored ; Maids and boys, in chorus blending, Let your anthem song, ascending, Praise high heaven's eternal Lord !

Bond and free man,

Land and sea man, Earth, with peoples widely stored, Wanderer lone o'er prairies ample, Full-voiced choir, in costly temple, Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord !

Praise him ever,

Bounteous Giver : Praise him, Father, Friend, and Lord ! Each glad soul, its free course winging, Each glad voice, its free song singing, Praise the great and mighty Lord !

1^8 THE L0RD'S SUPPER.

'TWAS on that night, when doomed to The eager rage of every foe, [know

That night in which, he was betrayed, The Saviour of the world took bread :

2 And, after thanks and glory given

To him that rules in earth and heaven, That symbol of his flesh he broke, And thus to all his followers spoke : —

3 My broken body thus I give

For you, for all ; take, eat, and live ;

And oft the sacred rite renew

That brings my wondrous love to view.

4 Then in his hands the cup he raised, And God anew he thanked and praised ; While kindness in his bosom glowed, And from his lips salvation flowed.

5 My blood I thus pour forth, he cries, To cleanse the soul in sin that lies ; In this the covenant is sealed,

And heaven's eternal grace revealed.

6 With love to man this cup is fraught ; Let all partake the sacred draught ; Through latest ages let it pour,

In memory of my dying hour.

1/9 CHRIST ON THE CROSS.

WHEN I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the cross of Christ my God ; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood.

3 See from his head, his hands, his feet, Soitow and love flow mingled down ; Bid e'er such love and sorrow meet ? Or thorns compose so rich a crown 1

i Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small ; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.

180 T0 THE H0LY spirit. SPIRIT of power, and truth, and love ! Who sitt'st enthroned in light above, Descend, and bear us on thy wings, Par from these low and fleeting things.

2 'Tis thine the wounded soul to heal ; 'Tis thine to make the hardened feel ; Thine to give light to blinded eyes, And bid the grovelling spirit rise.

3 Compassed by foes on every side, By sin and sore temptation tried ; Where can we look or whither flee, If not, Great Strengthener, to thee 1

4 When faith is weak and courage fails, When grief or doubt our soul assails ; Who can, like thee, our spirits cheer ? Great Comforter, be ever near.

5 Come Holy Spirit, like the fire, With burning zeal our souls inspire ; Come like the south wind, breathing

balm, Our joys refresh, our passions calm.

6 Come like the sun's enlightening beam ; Come like the cooling, cleansing stream J With all thy graces present be^ — Spirit of God, we wait for thee.

L. M.

St Catjrarin*.

131 ASHAMED OF CHRIST !

JESUS ! and can it ever be % A mortal man ashamed of thee ? Scorned be the thought by rich and poor; Oh may I scorn it more and more !

2 Ashamed of Jesus ! of that friend,

On whom, for heaven, my hopes depend? It must not be — be this my shame, That I no more revere his name.

3 Ashamed of Jesus ! yes, I may, When I've no crimes to wash away ; No tear to wipe, no joy to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save.

4 Till then (nor is the boasting vain), Till then, I boast a Saviour slain : And oh may this my glory be, That Christ is not ashamed of me !

182 PRAYER FOR ISRAEL.

GREAT God of Abram,hear our prayer, Let Abram's seed thy mercy share ; 0 may they now at length return, And look on him they pierced,and mo urn !

2 Remember Jacob's flock of old, Bring home the wanderers to thy fold; Remember too thy promised word,

" Israel at last shall seek the Lord."

3 Lord, put thy law within their hearts, And write it in their inward parts ; The veil of darkness rend in two, Which hides Messiah from their view.

4 Oh ! haste the day, foretold so long, When Jew and Greek, a glorious throng, One house shall seek, one prayer shall And one Redeemer shall adore, [pour,

183 G0D EVER near.

0 THOU, by long experience tried, Near whom no grief can long abide ; My Lord ! how full of sweet content

1 pass my years of banishment !

2 All scenes alike engaging prove,

To souls impressed with sacred love : Where'er they dwell, they dwell in thee ; In heaven, in earth, or on the sea.

3 To me remains nor place nor time ; My country is in every clime ;

I can be calm and free from care On any shore, since God is there.

4 While place we seek, or place we shun, The soul finds happiness in none ; But with a God to guide our way, 'Tis equal joy to go or stay.

5 Could I be cast where thou art not, That were indeed a dreadful lot ; But regions none remote I call, Secure of finding God in all.

184 CLOSE OF THE YEAR.

ETERNAL Source of every joy, Well may thy praise our lips employ, "While in thy temple we appear, Whose goodness crowns the circling year.

2 Seasons,andmonths,and weeks, and days, Demand successive songs of praise ; Still be the cheerful homage paid, With opening light, and evening shade !

3 0 may our more harmonious tongues In worlds unknown pursue the songs ; And in those brighter courts adore, Where days and years revolve no more !

"CHRIST IS RISEN.'

CHRIST the Lord is risen again ; Christ hath broken every chain ; Hark, angelic voices cry, Singing evermore on high,

Hallelujah !

He who gave for us his life, "Who for us endured the strife, Is our Paschal Lamb to-day ; We too sing for joy, and say

Hallelujah ! He who bore all pain and loss Comfortless upon the cross, Lives in glory now on high, Pleads for us and hears our cry ;

Hallelujah !

He who slumbered in the grave Is exalted now to save ; Now through Christendom it rings That the Lamb is King of kings.

Hallelujah I

Now he bids us tell abroad How the lost may be restored, How the penitent forgiven, How we too may enter heaven.

Hallelujah !

Thou, our Paschal Lamb indeed, Christ, thy ransomed people feed : Take our sins and guilt away, That we all may sing for aye

Hallelujah ! Amen.

DEAR Saviour of a dying world,

Where grief and change must be, In the new grave where thou wast laid

My heart lies down with thee. Oh, not in cold despair of joy

Or weariness of pain, But from a hope that shall not die,

To rise and live again.

I would arise in all thy strength

My place on earth to fill, To work out all my time of war

With love's unflinching will. Firm against every doubt of thee

For all my future way — To walk in heaven's eternal light

Throughout the changing day.

RISEN WITH CHRIST.

And then — there shall be yet an end —

An end how full to bless ! How dear to those who watch for thee

With human tenderness. Then shall the saying come to pass

That makes our hope complete ; And, rising from the conquered grave,

Thy parted ones shall meet.

Shine then, thou resurrection Light,

Upon our sorrows shine ! The fulness of thy joy be ours,

As all our griefs were tliine. JNow in this changing, dying life

Our faded hopes restore, Till, in thy triumph perfected,

We taste of death no more.

As thou hast given a place for prayer, So give us hearts to pray.

Our fainting hope to raise ; And pour thy blessings from above, That we may render praise.

The humbled mind bestow ; And shine upon us from on high, To make our graces grow.

5 May we in faith receive thy word, In faith present our prayers ;

Awaken many sinners round, To come and fill the place.

I welcome all thy sovereign will ;

For all that will is love : And when I know not what thou dost,

" FOR EVER WITH THE LORD."

FOR ever with the Lord !

Amen ; so let it be ; Life from the dead is in that word,

Tis immortality.

Here in the body pent,

Absent from him I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent

A day's march nearer home.

I My Father's house on high, Home of my soul, how near,

At times, to faith's foreseeing eye Thy golden gates appear ! Ah ! then my spirit faints To reach the land I love,

The bright inheritance of saints j Jerusalem above.

\ For ever with the Lord !

Father, if 'tis thy will, The promise of that faithful word

Even here to me fulfil.

Be thou at my right hand,

Then can I never fail ; Uphold thou me, and I shall stand ;

Fight, and I must prevail

4 So when my latest breath Shall rend the veil in twain,

By death I shall escape from death,

And life eternal gain.

Knowing as I am known,

How shall I love that word, Aoid oft repeat before the throne,

" For ever with the Lord ! "

5 The trump of final doom Will speak the self-same word,

And heaven's voice thunder through the tomb,

" For ever with the Lord ! "

The tomb shall echo deep

That death-awakening sound ; The saints shall hear it in their sleep,

And answer from the ground.

6 Then, upward as they fly, That resurrection-word

Shall be their shout of victory,

" For ever with the Lord ! "

That resurrection-word,

That shout of victory, Once more, — " For ever with the Lord !"

Amen ; so let it be !

192 DIVINE COMPASSION. PSALM CIII.

MY soul, repeat his praise "Whose mercies are so great ; "Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate.

2 God will not always chide ; And when his strokes are felt,

His strokes are fewer than our crimes And lighter than our guilt

3 High as the heavens are raised Above the ground we tread,

So far the riches of his grace Our highest thoughts exceed.

4 His power subdues our sins, And his forgiving love

Far as the east is from the west Doth all our guilt remove.

5 The pity of the Lord

To those that fear his name,

Is such as tender parents feel j

He knows our feeble frame.

6 He knows we are but dust, Scattered with every breath ;

His anger, like a rising wind, Can send us swift to death.

7 Our days are as the grass, Or like the morning flower ;

If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field, It withers in an hour.

8 But thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure ;

And children's children ever find Thy words of promise sure.

193 THE ANCH0R-

YOUR harps, ye trembling saints, Down from the willows take ; Loud to the praise of love divine Bid every string awake.

2 Though in a foreign land, We are not far from home ;

And nearer to our house above We every moment come.

3 His grace will to the end Stronger and brighter shine ;

Nor present things, nor things to come, Shall quench the spark divine.

4 Fastened within the veil, Hope be our anchor strong ;

His loving Spirit the sweet gale That wafts us smooth along.

5 Or, should the surges rise, And peace delay to come,

Blest is the sorrow, kind the storm, That drives us nearer home.

6 Soon shall our doubts and fears Subside at his control ;

His loving-kindness shall break through The midnight of the souL

7 Still on his plighted love At all events rely ;

The very hidings of his face Shall train thee up to joy.

8 Blest is the man, 0 God, That stays himself on thee !

Who wait for thy salvation, Lord, Shall thy salvation see !

194 PSALM XXIX

GIVE ye to Jehovah, 0 sons of the mighty, Give ye to Jehovah the glory and power ; Give ye to Jehovah the honour and glory, In beauty of holiness kneel and adore.

2 The voice of Jehovah comes down on

the waters, In thunder the God of the glory

draws nigh ; Lo, over the waves of the wide-flowing

waters Jehovah as King is enthroned on

high.

3 The voice of Jehovah is mighty, is

mighty, The voice of Jehovah in majesty speaks; The voice of Jehovah the cedars is breaking, Jehovah the cedars of Lebanon breaks.

4 Like young heifers at play, they skip when he speaketh ;

Lo, Lebanon leaps at the sound of

his name. Like son of the unicorn Sirion is

skipping ; The voice of Jehovah it forketh the

flame.

5 The voice of Jehovah it shaketh the desert,

The desert of Kadesh it shaketh with fear ; The hind of the field into travail- pangs casteth ;

The voice of Jehovah the forest strips bare.

6 Each one, in his temple, his glory is speaking,

On floods he is sitting as Ejiig on

his throne. Jehovah all strength to his people is

giving, Jehovah with peace is still blessing

his own.

195 THE lord's pAY-

0 DAY of rest and gladness,

0 day of joy and light, 0 balm of care and sadness,

Most "beautiful, most bright ! Thou art a cooling fountain

In life's dry, dreary sand ; From thee, like Pisgah's mountain,

We view our promised land.

! To-day on weary nations

The heavenly manna falls ; To holy convocations

The silver trumpet calls, Where Gospel light is glowing

With pure and radiant beams, And living water flowing

With soul-refreshing streams.

► New graces ever gaining

From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining

To spirits of the blest. To Holy Ghost be praises,

To Father and to Son ; The Church her voice upraises,

To thee, blest Three in One.

196 PSALM CXXVL

WHEN God arose, the nation

From bondage to redeem, The joy of our salvation

Came to us like a dream. Our hearts with triumph bounded,

Our lips ran o' er with praise, The heathen stood confounded

At God's mysterious ways.

2 They said The Lord hath wonders

Wrought for his captives sad, — The Lord hath done great wonders,

And therefore we are glad. Lord, all the remnant weary

Bring back to Zion still, As brooks in south lands dreary

Their thirsty channels fill

3 Full many cast in sadness

Their seed on parching soil, Who yet shall reap in gladness

The harvest of their toiL He who in tears departed

With precious seed at morn, Shall homeward fare light-hearted

With sheaves of golden corn.

PSALM LXXVII.

1^ time of tribulation,

Hear, Lord, my feeble cries : "With humble supplication,

To thee my spirit flies. My heart with grief is breaking ;

Scarce can my voice complain ; Mine eyes, with tears kept waking,

Still watch and weep in vain.

2 The days of old, in vision,

Bring vanished bliss to view ; The years of lost fruition

Their joys in pangs renew : Remembered songs of gladness,

Through night's lone silence brought Strike notes of deeper sadness,

And stir desponding thought.

3 Hath God cast off for ever 1

Can time his truth impair 1 His tender mercy never

Shall I presume to share 1 Hath he his loving-kindness

Shut up in endless wrath 1 Ko : this is mine own blindness,

That cannot see his path.

4 I call to recollection

The years of his right hand, And, strong in his protection,

Again through faith I stand. Thy deeds, 0 Lord, are wonder ;

Holy are all thy ways : The secret place of thunder

Shall utter forth thy praise.

198 GRAYER FOR ISRAEL. PS. XIV

OH that the Lord's salvation

Were out of Zion come, To heal his ancient nation,

To lead the outcasts home ! How long the holy city

Shall heathen feet profane ? Return, 0 Lord ! in pity,

Rebuild her walls again.

2 Lay down thy rod of terror j

Thy saving grace impart ; Roll back the veil of error ;

Release the fettered heart. Let Israel, home returning,

The true Messiah see ; Give oil of joy for mourning,

And bind thy Church to thee.

ERE God had built the mountains,

Or raised the fruitful hills ; Before he filled the fountains

That feed the running rills j In ME, from everlasting,

The wonderful I AM Eound pleasures never wasting ;

And Wisdom is my name.

! When, like a tent to dwell in,

He spread the skies abroad, And swathed about the swelling

Of ocean's mighty flood, Ho wrought by weight and measure ;

And I was with him then : Myself the Father's pleasure,

And mine, the sons of men.

ETERNAL WISDOM.

Thus Wisdom's words discover

Thy glory and thy grace, Thou everlasting lover

Of our unworthy race : Thy gracious eye surveyed us,

Ere stars were seen above ; In wisdom thou hast made us,

And died for us in love.

And couldst thou be delighted

With creatures such as we, — Who, when we saw thee, slighted

And nailed thee to a tree 1 Unfathomable wonder,

And mystery divine ! The voice that speaks in thunder

Says, Sinner, I am thine !

FROM Greenland's icy mountains,

From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny fountains

Roll down their golden sand, From many an ancient river,

From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver

Their land from error's chain.

2 "What though the spicy "breezes

Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle ; Though every prospect pleases,

And only man is vile ; In vain with lavish kindness

The gifts of God are strown ; The heathen in his blindness

Rows down to wood and stone.

COME OVER AND HELP US.

Can we, whose souls are lighted

With wisdom from on high, Can we to men benighted

The lamp of life deny 1 Salvation ! 0 salvation !

The joyful sound proclaim, Till each remotest nation

Has learnt Messiah's name.

Waft, waft, ye winds, his story,

And you, ye waters, roll, Till like a sea of glory

It spreads from pole to pole ; Till o'er our ransomed nature

The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator,

In bliss returns to reign.

201 " THE L0RD THAT HEALETH."

HEAL us, Immanuel, we are here Waiting to feel thy touch ;

Deep-wounded souls to thee repair, And, Saviour, we are such.

2 Our faith is feeble, we confess,

We faintly trust thy word ; But wilt thou pity us the less 1 Be that far from thee, Lord.

3 Remember him who once applied

With trembling for relief ; "Lord, I believe," with tears he cried,

" Oh ! help my unbelief." i She, too, who touched thee in the press,

And healing virtue stole, Was answered, " Daughter, go in peace,

Thy faith hath made thee whole." 5 Concealed amid the gathering throng,

She would have shunned thy view ; And if her faith was firm and strong,

Had strong misgivings too. 3 Like her, with hopes and fears we come,

To touch thee if we may ; Oh ! send us not despairing home,

Send none unhealed away.

202 WARFARE ACCOMPLISHED.

MY race is run, my warfare's o'er ;

The solemn hour is nigh, When offered up to God, my soid

Henceforth there is laid up for me A crown which cannot fade ;

The righteous Judge at that great day Shall place it on my head.

ISTor hath the Sovereign Lord decreed

This prize for me alone, But for all such as love like me

The appearance of his Son.

From every snare and evil work His grace shall me defend,

And to his heavenly kingdom safe Shall bring me in the end.

THE PARTING PROMISE.

3

Shall wing its flight on liigh.

rht

With heavenly weapons I have fouw

The battles of the Lord ; Finished my course, and kept the faith, |

Depending on his word. J

203

LET not your hearts with anxious Be troubled or dismayed ; [thoughts

But trust in Providence divine, And trust my gracious aid.

2 I to my Father's house return ;

There numerous mansions stand, And glory manifold abounds Through all the happy land.

I go your entrance to secure,

And your abode prepare ; Regions unknown are safe to you,

When I, your friend, am there.

4 Thence shall I come, when ages close,

To take you home with me ; There we shall meet to part no more, And still together be.

5 I am the way, the truth, the life :

No son of human race, But such as I conduct and guide, Shall see my Father's face.

^ntiquitjr.

204 Jacob's well.

SAVEET was the hour, 0 Lord, to thee,

At Sychar's lonely well, When a poor outcast heard thee there Thy great salvation tell.

2 There Jacob's erring daughter found

Those streams unknown before, The water-brooks of life that make The weary thirst no more.

3 And, Lord, to us, as vile as she,

Thy gracious lips have told That mystery of love revealed

At Jacob's well of old. i In spirit, Lord, we've sat with thee,

Beside the springing well Of life and peace, and heard thee there

Its healing virtues tell. 5 Dead to the world, we dream no more

Of earthly pleasures now ; Our deep, divine, unfailing spring

Of grace and glory thou. 3 So hope of rest in aught beside,

No beauty, Lord, we see ; And, like Samaria's daughter, seek

And find our all in thee.

205 prayer for Christ's presence.

OH, do not, blessed Lord, depart !

I will not let thee go, Until upon this needy heart

Thy blessing thou bestow. 2 Vouchsafe me pardon, mercy, grace,

My countless sins forgive ; If thou shine on me with thy face,

It must be bliss to live.

3 When here by adverse tempests driven,

When storm-clouds wreath my way,

That countenance, whose smile is

Will chase them all away, [heaven,

4 When feebly ebbs life's languid tide,

And the last hour is nigh, With my Redeemer at my side, I cannot dread to die.

5 If earthly glimpses, Lord, of thee

Such happiness impart, What must the full fruition be, To know thee as thou art !

206 SUFFERING WITH CHRIST.

THE head that once was crowned with Is crowned with glory now ; [thorns,

A royal diadem adorns The mighty Victor's brow.

2 The joy of all who dwell above,

The joy of all below, To whom he manifests his love, And grants his name to know.

3 To them the Cross, with all its shame,

With all its grace, is given •

Their name an everlasting name,

Their joy the joy of heaven.

4 They suffer with their Lord below,

They reign with him above : Their profit and their joy to know The mystery of his love.

5 The cross he bore is life and health,

Though shame and death to him, His people's hope, his people's wealth, Their everlasting theme.

BLESSING and honour and glory and

power, Wisdom and riches and strength ever

more, Give ye to him who our battle hath won. Whose are the kingdom, the crown, and

the throne.

2 Into the heaven of the heavens hath he

. g°ne ; Sitteth he now in the joy of the throne ; Weareth he now of the kingdom the

crown ; Singeth he now the new song with his

own.

3 Dwelleth the light of the glory with

him, Light of a glory that cannot grow dim, Light in its silence and beauty and calm, Light in its gladness and brightness and

balm.

4 Past are the darkness, the storm, and

the war, Come is the radiance that sparkles afar, Breaketh the gleam of the day without

end, Eiseth the sun that shall never descend. | 7

THE SONG OF THE LAMB.

5

Soundeth the heaven of the heavens

with his name, Eingeth the earth with his glory and

fame, Ocean and mountain, stream, forest, and

flower, Echo his praises and tell of his power. Ever ascendeth the song and the joy, Ever descendeth the love from on high, Blessing and honour and glory and

praise, This is the theme of the hymns that we

raise. Life of all life, and true light of all light, Star of the dawning, unchangingly

bright, Sun of the Salem whose lamp is the

Lamb, Theme of the ever-new, ever-glad psalm ! Give we the glory and praise to the

Lamb, Take we the robe and the harp and the

palm, Sing we the song of the Lamb that was

slain, Dying in weakness, but rising to reign.

CONNIE, let us join our friends above,

Who have obtained the prize, And on the eagle wings of love

To joy celestial rise. Let all the saints terrestrial sing

With those to glory gone, For all the servants of our King,

In earth and heaven, are one.

One family, we dwell in him,

One Church, above, beneath, Though now divided by the stream,

The narrow stream of death. One army of the living God,

To his command we bow ; Part of his host have crossed the flood.

And part are crossing now.

ONE CIIURCH, ABOVE, BENEATH.

3

Our old companions in distress

W^e haste again to see, And eager long for our release

And full felicity : Even now by faith we join our hands

With those that went before, And greet the blood-besprinkled bands

On the eternal shore.

Our spirits too shall quickly join,

Like theirs with glory crowned, And shout to see our Captain's sign,

To hear his trumpet sound. Oh that we soon may grasp our Guide !

And when the word is given. Come, Lord of hosts ! the waves divide,

And land us safe in heaven !

211 RESURRECTION OF CHRIST.

BLEST morning ! whose first dawning Beheld the Son of God [rays

Arise, triumphant, from the grave, And leave his dark abode.

2 Wrapt in the silence of the tomb

The great Eedeemer lay, Till the revolving skies had brought The third, th' appointed day.

3 Hell and the grave combined their force

To hold our Lord in vain ; Sudden the Conqueror arose, And burst their feeble chain.

4 To thy great name, Almighty Lord !

We sacred honours pay, And loud hosannas shall proclaim The triumphs of the day.

5 Salvation and immortal praise

To our victorious King ! Let heaven and earth, and rocks and With glad hosannas ring. [seas,

6 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

The God whom we adore, Be glory, as it was, and is, And shall be evermore.

212 EVERLASTING LOVE.

YE heavens, send forth your song of praise ; Earth, raise your voice below ! Let hills and mountains join the hymn, And joy through nature flow. 2 Behold how gracious is our God ! Hear the consoling strains In which he cheers our drooping hearts, And mitigates our pains.

3 Cease ye, when days of darkness come,

In sad dismay to mourn, As if the Lord could leave his saints Eorsaken or forlorn.

4 Can the fond mother e'er forget

The infant whom she bore 1 And can its plaintive cries be heard, Nor move compassion more ?

5 She may forget, nature may fail

A parent's heart to move ; But Zion on my heart shall dwell In everlasting love.

6 Full in my sight, upon my hands

I have engraved her name : My hands shall build her ruined walls, And raise her broken frame.

213 ADVANCING TEARS.

MY God, my everlasting hope,

I live upon thy truth ; Thy hands have held my childhood up,

And strengthened all my youth.

Still has my life new wonders seen

Eepeated every year ; Behold, my days that yet remain,

I trust them to thy care. Cast me not off when strength declines.

When hoary hairs arise ; And round me let thy glory shine,

Whene'er thy servant dies.

Then in the history of my age, When men review my days,

They'll read thy love in every page, In every line thy praise.

214 PSALM CXXV.

LIKE Zion mount all they shall be Who in Jehovah set their stay ; Zion, which cannot he removed, But which abideth firm for aye.

} As round about Jerusalem The mountains be ; even so of old, Yea, from this time and evermore, Jehovah doth his own enfold.

3 For on the lot of righteous men The rod of evil shall not lie, Lest that the righteous should put forth Their hands unto iniquity.

i Oh let the good thy goodness still Lor ever, 0 Jehovah, share ; Yea, to all such, 0 Lord, do good, As in their spirit upright are.

5 But such as after crooked ways Do turn aside, Jehovah will With evil-doers cast them forth ; But peace shall be on Israel still.

215 THE church's prayer. 0 SAVIOUR, is thy promise fled? Nor longer might thy grace endure, To heal the sick, and raise the dead, And preach thy gospel to the poor ?

2 Come, Jesus, come ! return again ; With brighter beam thy servants bless Who long to feel thy perfect reign, And share thy kingdom's happiness.

3 A feeble race, by passion driven, In darkness and in doubt we roam, And lift our anxious eyes to heaven, Our hope, our harbour, and our home.

Yet mid the wild and wintry gale, When death rides darkly o'er the sea, And strength and earthly daring fail, Our prayers, Redeemer, rest on thee. Come, Jesus, come ! and as of yore The prophet went to clear thy way, A harbinger thy feet before, A dawning to thy brighter day ; So now may grace with heavenly shower Our stony hearts for truth prepare ; Sow in our souls the seed of power, Then come and reap thy harvest there.

216 PSALM LXXII.

JESUS shall reign where'er the sun Doth his successive journeys run ; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. I Eor him shall endless prayer be made, And praises throng to crown his head ; His name like sweet perfume shall rise With every morning sacrifice.

3 People and realms of every tongue Dwell on his love with sweetest song ; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on his name.

4 Blessings abound where'er he reigns ; The prisoner leaps to lose his chains ; The weary find eternal rest,

And all the sons of want are blest.

5 Ix^t every creature rise and bring Peculiar honours to our King ; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud AmeiL

217" MORNING.

OH timely happy, timely wise, Hearts that with rising morn arise ! Eyes that the beam celestial view, "Which evermore makes all tilings new !

2 New every morning is the love Our wakening and uprising prove, Through sleep and darkness safely

brought, Restored to life, and power, and thought.

3 New mercies, each returning day, Hover around us while we pray ■ New perils past, new sins forgiven, New thoughts of God, new hopes of

heaven.

4 We need not bid, for cloistered cell, Our neighbour and our work farewell, Nor strive to wind ourselves too high For sinful man beneath the sky :

5 The trivial round, the common task, Will furnish all we ought to ask ; Room to deny ourselves ; a road

To bring us daily nearer God.

6 Seek we no more : content with these, Let present rapture, comfort, ease,

As Heaven shall bid them, come and go ; The secret this of rest below.

7 Only, 0 Lord, in thy dear love Fit us for perfect rest above ; And help us, this and every day, To live more nearly as we pray !

218 PSALM CXVII.

FROM all that dwell below the skies Let the Creator's praise arise ; Let the Redeemer's name be sung Through every land, by every tongue.

2 Eternal are thy mercies, Lord,

Eternal truth attends thy word ; [shore, Thy praise shall sound from shore to Till suns shall rise and set no more.

219 A BLESSING SOUGHT.

COMMAND thy blessing from above, 0 God, on all assembled here ; Behold us with a Father's love, While we look up with filial fear. I Command thy blessing, Jesus, Lord ; May we thy true disciples be ; Speak to each heart the mighty word, Say to the weakest — "Follow me."

1 Command thy blessing in this hour, Spirit of truth, and fill the place With humbling and with healing power, With killing and with quickening grace.

t 0 thou, our Maker, Saviour, Guide, One true eternal God confessed ! Whom thou hast joined may none divide, None dare to curse whom thou hast blessed.

5 With thee and these for ever found, May all the souls who here unite, With harps and songs thy throne sur- round, Rest in thy love and reign in light.

220 DISMISSION.

DISMISS us with thy blessing, Lord ; Help us to feed upon thy word : All that has been amiss forgive, And let thy truth within us live.

2 Though we are guilty, thou art good ; Sprinkle our works with Jesus' blood : Give every fettered soul release,

And bid us all depart in peace.

Not the labours of my hands Can fulfil thy law's demands ; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears for ever now, All for sin could not atone ; Thou must save, and thou alone.

Nothing in my hand I bring ; Simply to thy cross I cling ; Naked, come to thee for dress ; Helpless, look to thee for grace ; Foul, I to the fountain fly ; Wash me, Saviour, or I die !

While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyelids close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See thee on thy judgment-throne ; Eock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee !

222 CHRIST OUR EXAMPLE.

GO to dark Gethsemane,

Ye that feel the tempter's power ; Your Eedeemer's conflict see ;

Watch with him one bitter hour ; Turn not from his griefs away : Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.

Follow to the judgment-hall ;

View the Lord of life arraigned. Oh the wormwood and the gall !

Oh the pangs his soul sustained ! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss : Learn of him to bear the cross.

Calvary's mournful mountain climb ;

There, adoring at his feet, Mark that miracle of time —

God's own sacrifice complete. " It is finished ! " hear him cry : Learn of Jesus Christ to die.

Early hasten to the tomb,

Where they laid his breathless clay, All is solitude and gloom —

Who hath taken him away 1 Christ is risen ; he seeks the skies : Saviour, teach us so to rise.

"WHEN this passing world is dc ne, 'When has sunk yon glaring sun, When we stand with Christ in glory. Looking o'er life's finished story, Then, Lord, shall I fully know — Not till then — how much I owe.

2 "When I stand "before the throne, Dressed in beauty not my own, "When I see thee as thou art, Love thee with unsinning heart, Then, Lord, shall I fully know — Not till then — how much I owe.

3 "When the praise of heaven I hear, Loud as thunders to the ear, Loud as many waters' noise, Sweet as harp's melodious voice, Then, Lord, shall I fully know — ■ Not till then — how much I owe.

4 Ev'n on earth, as through a glass Darkly, let thy glory pass ; Make forgiveness feel so sweet, Make thy Spirit's help so meet ; Ev'n on earth, Lord, make me know Something of how much I owe.

224 " MY REDEEMER LIVETH."

JESUS, my Redeemer, lives,

Christ, my trust, is dead no more ;

In the strength this knowledge gives, Shall not all my fears be o'er ■

Calm, though death's long night be fraught

Still with many an anxious thought ?

2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives,

And his life I soon shall see ; Bright the hope this promise gives,

"Where he is I too shall be : Shall I fear then 1 can the Head Rise and leave the members dead ?

3 Close to him my soul is bound,

In the bonds of hope enclasped ; Faith's strong hand this hold has found,

And the Rock hath firmly grasped ; And no ban of death can part From our Lord the trusting heart.

4 I shall see him with these eyes,

Him whom I shall surely know ; Not another shall I rise,

"With his love this heart shall glow ; Only there shall disappear Weakness in and round me here.

ADOPTION.

BEHOLD th' amazing gift of love The Father hath bestowed

On ns, the sinful sons of men, To call us sons of God !

2 Concealed as yet this honour lies,

By this dark world unknown, A world that knew not when he came, Ev'n God's eternal Son.

3 High is the rank we now possess ;

But higher we shall rise ; Though what we shall hereafter be Is hid from mortal eyes.

4 Our souls, we know, when he appears,

Shall bear his image bright ; For all his glory, full disclosed, Shall open to our sight.

5 A hope so great and so divine

May trials well endure ; And purge the soul from sense and sin, As Christ himself is pure.

226 SALVATION BY GRACE.

HOW wretched was our former state, When, slaves to Satan's sway,

With hearts disordered and impure, O'erwhelmed in sin we lay !

2 But, 0 my soul ! for ever praise,

For ever love his name, Who turned thee from the fatal paths Of folly, sin, and shame.

3 Vain and presumptuous is the trust

Which in our works we place, Salvation from a higher source Flows to the human race.

4 'Tis from the mercy of our God

That all our hopes begin ; His mercy saved our souls from death, And washed our souls from sin.

5 His Spirit, through the Saviour shed,

Its sacred fire imparts, ■Renews our will, and love divine Enkindles in our hearts.

Thence raised from death we live anew ;

And, justified by grace, We hope in glory to appear,

And see our Father's face.

22 1 THE FRIEND ALL-SUFFICIENT.

JESUS, the Lord of glory, died,

That we might never die ; And now h(

His people to the sky,

2 Weak though we are, he still is near,

To lead, console, defend ; In all our sorrow, sin, and fear, Our all-sufficient Friend.

3 From his high throne in bliss he deigns

Our every prayer to heed ; Bears with our folly, soothes our pains, Supplies our every need.

4 And from his love's exhaustless spring

Joys like a river come, To make the desert bloom and sing O'er winch we travel home.

5 0 Jesus ! there is none like thee,

Our Saviour and our Lord ; Through earth and heaven exalted be. Beloved, obeyed, adored.

MY God, my Father, blissful name !

Oh, may I call thee mine 1 May I with sweet assurance claim

A portion so divine 1 ! This only can my fears control,

And bid my sorrows fly. What harm can ever reach my soul

Beneath my Father's eye 1 ! Whate'er thy providence denies,

I calmly would resign ; For thou art good, and just, and wise.

0 bend my will to thine ! Whate'er thy sacred will ordains,

0 give me strength to bear ; And let me know my Father reigns,

And trust his tender care. Thy sovereign ways are all unknown

To my weak, erring sight ; Yet, let my soul adoring own

That all thy ways are right. My God ! my Father ! be thy name

My solace and my stay : 0 wilt thou seal my humble claim,

And drive my fears away 1

229 GOSPEL INVITATION.

HO ! ye that thirst, approach the spring

Where living waters flow : Free to that sacred fountain, all

Without a price may go. How long to streams of false delight

Will ye in crowds repair 1 How long your strength and substance

On trifles light as air ] [waste]

1 3 My stores afford those rich supplies That health and pleasure give : Incline your ear, and come to me ; The soul that hears shall live.

4 With you a covenant I will make

That ever shall endure ; [heart

The hope which gladdened David's My mercy hath made sure.

5 Behold he comes ! your Leader comes,

With might and honour crowned ; A witness who shall spread my name To earth's remotest bound.

6 See ! nations hasten to his call

From every distant shore ; Isles yet unknown shall bow to him, And Israel's God adore.

230 COMMENCEMENT- OF WORSHIP.

0 THOU who hast thy servants taught

That not by words alone, But by the fruits of holiness

The life of God is shown :

2 While in thy house of prayer we meet, And call thee God our Lord, Give us a heart to follow thee, Obedient to thy word.

When we our voices lift in praise, Give thou us grace to bring

An offering of unfeigned thanks, And with the spirit sing.

And in the dangerous path of life,

Uphold us as we go ; That with our lips and in our lives

Thy glory we may show.

231 A NEW HEART.

OH for a heart to praise my God,

A heart from sin set free ! A heart that always feels the blood

So freely shed for me !

2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek,

My great Redeemer's throne ; Where only Christ is heard to speak, Where Jesus reigns alone :

3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart,

Believing, true, and clean ; Which neither life nor death can part From him that dwells within :

4 A heart in every thought renewed,

And full of love divine ; Perfect, and right, and pure, and good, A copy, Lord, of thine !

5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart ;

Come quickly from above ; Write thy new name upon my heart, Thy new, best name of love.

232 TIIE DEAREST NAME.

THERE is a name I love to hear ;

I love to sing its worth ; It sounds like music in mine ear,

The sweetest name on earth.

2 It tells me of a Saviour's love

Who died to set me free ; It tells me of his precious blood, The sinner's perfect plea.

3 It tells me what my Father hath

In store for every day, And though I tread a darksome path, Yields sunshine all the way.

4 It tells of One whose loving heart

Can feel my smallest woe, Who in each sorrow bears a part That none can bear below.

5 It bids my trembling soul rejoice,

And dries each rising tear ; And now I'll praise with heart and voice Jesus my Saviour dear.

233 PROSPECT OF HEAVEN.

THERE is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign,

Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain.

2 There everlasting spring abides,

And never- withering flowers : Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours.

3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood

Stand dressed in living green : So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between.

4 But timorous mortals start and shrink

To cross this narrow sea, And linger shivering on the brink, And fear to launch away.

5 Oh could we make our doubts remove,

These gloomy doubts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love, With unbeclouded eyes !

6 Could we but climb where Moses stood,

And view the landscape o'er, Kot Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood, Should fright us from the shore.

Where he appoints we go ; And still in Jesus' footsteps tread

And show his praise below.

3 0 may we ever walk in him,

And nothing know beside, Nothing desire, nothing esteem, But Jesus crucified.

4 Closer and closer let us cleave

To his beloved embrace ; Expect his fulness to receive, And grace to answer grace.

5 Partakers of the Saviour's grace,

The same in mind and heart, Nor joy, nor grief, nor time, nor place, Nor life, nor death can part.

6 But let us hasten to the day

Which shall our flesh restore, When death shall all be done away, And bodies part no more !

236 DRAWING NEAR TO GOD.

I FAIN woidd find thee, O my God,

Ev'n to thy seat I come ; I leave my joys, I leave my sins,

And seek in thee my home.

2 I stand upon the mount of God,

With sunlight in my soul ; I hear the storms in vales beneath ; I hear the thunders roll.

3 But I am calm with thee, my God,

Beneath these glorious skies ; And to the height on which I stand Nor storms nor clouds can rise.

4 0 this is life ! 0 this is joy !

237" THE saviour's sympathy.

WHEX gathering clouds around I view, And days are dark, and friends are few, On Him I lean, who not in vain Experienced every human pain ; He knows my wants, allays my fears, And counts and treasures up my tears.

! If aught should tempt my soul to stray From heavenly wisdom's narrow way, To fly the good I would pursue, Or do the thing I would not do ; Still he, who felt temptation's power, Shall guard me in that dangerous hour.

I When vexing thoughts within me rise, And, sore dismayed, my spirit dies, Yet he who once vouchsafed to bear The anguish bord'ring on despair, Shall sweetly soothe, shall gently dry, The throbbing heart, the streaming eye.

[ And, oh, when I have safely past Through every conflict but the last, Still, still unchanging, watch beside My dying bed — for thou hast died ! Then point to realms of cloudless day, And wipe the latest tear away.

238 S0NG 0F REST-

MY soul hath found the steadfast ground, There ever shall my anchor hold, — That ground is in my Saviour Christ, Before the world was from of old, — And that sure ground shall be my stay, When heaven and earth shall pass away.

2 That ground is thine eternal love, Thy love which through all ages burns, The open arms of mercy stretched

To meet the sinner who returns ; The love that calleth everywhere, If men will hear or will forbear.

3 0 deep, deep sea, where all our sins By Christ are cast and found no more ! There is no condemnation now,

The Lord hath healed our deadly sore, Because the voice of Jesus' blood Still cries for mercy unto God.

4 Lord Christ, thou art my steadfast Rock, So long as on the earth I dwell, —

0 may each thought and word and work Of thy redeeming mercy tell, Till I shall sing to thee above, 0 endless depth of saving love.

JESUS, thy boundless love to me No thought can reach,no tongue declare; Oh ! bend my wayward heart to thee, And reign without a rival there : Thine, wholly thine, alone I'd live ; Myself to thee entirely give.

2 0 Lord, how gracious is thy way, All fear before thy presence flies ; Care, anguish, sorrow, pass away Where'er thy healing beams arise : Lord Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire apart from thee.

3 What in thy love possess I not 1 My star by night, my sun by day, My spring of life when parched with

drought, My wine to cheer, my bread to stay, My strength, my shield, my safe abode, My robe before the throne of God.

4 In sufT'ring be thy love my peace,

In weakness be thine arm my strength; And when the storms of life shall cease, And thou from heaven shalt come at

length, Lord Jesus, then this heart shall be For ever satisfied with thee.

240 THE L0RD 0UR SHEPHERD.

THE Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a Shepherd's care : His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye : My noon-day walks he will attend, And all my midnight hours defend.

When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales and dewy meads My weary, wandering steps he leads, Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amid the verdant landscape flow.

Though in a bare and rugged way, Through devious, lonely wilds I stray, Thy presence shall my pains beguile ; The barren wilderness shall smile, With sudden green and herbage crowned; And streams shall murmur all around.

Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, For Thou, 0 Lord, art with me still : Thy friendly hand shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade.

Of justifying grace ; The law, that shows the sinner's guilt,

Condemns him to Ins face.

And sent the early rain. > The spring's sweet influence, Lord, was

And mild, refreshing dew.

No loveliness we see ; Our eye is on the royal crown, Prepared for us and thee.

That crown of joy above, What is it to the brighter hope Of dwelling in thy love 1

4 What to the joy, the deeper joy,

Unmingled, pure, and free, Of union with our living Head, Of fellowship with thee ?

5 This joy e'en now on earth is ours ;

But only, Lord, above, Our hearts without a pang shall know The fulness of thy love.

Thy ransom'd Bride shall see What grace was in the bleeding Lamb, Who died to make us free.

WHEN Israel, by divine command,

Their sure resource in God. ! A cloudy pillar marked the road,

And screened them from the heat ; From the hard rock the water flowed,

And manna was their meat, t Like them we have a rest in view,

Secure from adverse powers ; Like them we pass the desert through,

But Israel's God is ours.

His word a light before us sheds, By which our path we see ;

His love a banner o'er our heads, From harm preserves us free.

Jesus, the bread of life, is given,

To be our daily food ; And from the Rock that once was riven

We drink the streams of God.

LOED Jesus, we are one witli thee : 0 height, 0 depth of love !

With thee we died upon the tree, In thee we live above.

Such was thy grace, that for our sake Thou didst from heaven come down,

Our human flesh and blood partake, In all our misery one.

Our sins, our guilt, in love divine, Confessed and borne by thee ;

The gall, the curse, the wrath were thine, To set thy people free.

Ascended now, in glory bright, Still one with us thou art ;

Nor life, nor death, nor depth, nor height Thy saints and thee can part.

0 teach us, Lord, to know and own

This wondrous mystery, That thou with us art truly one,

And we are one with thee.

6 I bless the Christ of God ; I rest on love divine ;

And with unfaltering lip and heart, I call this Saviour mine.

257' AFLOAT.

HEAVE, mighty ocean, heave,

And blow, thou boisterous wind : Onward we swiftly glide, and leave

Our home and friends behind. 2 But herein is our joy :

Wherever we may be, Danger or death can ne'er destroy

Our trust, 0 God, in thee.

3 Then wherefore should we grieve *? Or what have we to fear 1

Though home, and friends, and life we Our God is ever near. [leave,

4 If he who made all things, And rules them, is our own,

Then every grief or trial brings Us nearer to the throne.

5 Sweep, mighty ocean, sweep, Ye winds, blow foul or fair :

Our God is with us on the deep, Our home is everywhere.

258 THE GREAT ATONEMENT.

NOT all the blood of beasts On Jewish altars slain. Could give the guilty conscience peace, Or wash away the stain.

2 But Christ the heavenly Lamb Takes all our sins away,

A sacrifice of nobler name And richer blood than they.

3 My faith would lay her hand On that dear head of thine,

While like a penitent I stand, And there confess my sin.

4 My soul looks back to see The burdens thou didst bear,

When hanging on the cursed tree, And hopes her guilt was there.

5 Believing, we rejoice

To see the curse remove ; We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice, And sing his dying love.

GRATITUDE.

WHEN all thy mercies, 0 my God !

My rising soul surveys, Transported with, the view, I'm lost

In wonder, love, and praise. Oh ! how shall words, with equal

The gratitude declare [warmth,

That glows within my ravished heart !

But thou canst read it there.

2 To all my weak complaints and cries

Thy mercy lent an ear, Ere yet my feeble thoughts had learned

To form themselves in prayer. Unnumbered comforts on my soul

Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived

From whom these comforts flowed.

3 When in the slippery paths of youth

With heedless steps I ran ; Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe,

And led me up to man : Through hidden dangers, toils, and

It gently cleared my way ; [deaths, And through the pleasing Bnarea of vice,

More to be feared than they.

When worn with sickness, oft hast thou

With health renewed my face ; And, when in sins and sorrows sunk,

Revived my soul with grace. Thy bounteous hand with worldly bliss

Hath made my cup run o'er ; And, in a kind and faithful friend,

Hath doubled all my store.

Ten thousand thousand precious gifts

My daily thanks employ ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart

That tastes these gifts with joy. Through every period of my life

Thy goodness I'll proclaim; And after death, in distant worlds,

Resume the glorious theme.

When nature fails, and day and night

Divide thy works no more, My ever grateful heart, 0 Lord,

Thy mercy shall adore. Through all eternity to thee

A joyful song I'll raise ; For, oh ! eternity's too short

To utter all thy praise.

260 THE traveller's psalm. HOW are thy servants blest, 0 Lord !

How sure is their defence ! Eternal Wisdom is their guide, Their help, Omnipotence. I In foreign realms, and lands remote, Supported by thy care, Through burning climes they pass un- And breathe in tainted air. [hurt, 5 When by the dreadful tempest borne High on the broken wave, They know thou art not slow to hear, Nor impotent to save. [ The storm is laid, the winds retire, Obedient to thy will ; The sea that roars at thy command, At thy command is still. > In midst of dangers, fears, and deaths, Thy goodness we adore ; We praise thee for thy mercies past, And humbly hope for more. 3 Our life, whilst thou preservest life, A sacrifice shall be ; And death, when death shall be our lot, Shall join our souls to thee.

261 "wait on the lord." SUPKEME in wisdom as in power,

The Rock of Ages stands ; Though him thou canst not see, nor trace

The working of his hands. I He gives the conquest to the weak ;

Supports the fainting heart ; And courage in the evil hour

His heavenly aids impart.

Mere human power shall fast decay, And youthful vigour cease ;

But they who wait upon the Lord, In strength shall still increase.

They with unwearied feet shall tread

The path of life divine ; With growing ardour onward move, —

With growing brightness shine.

On eagles' wings they mount, they soar, — Their wings are faith and love, —

Till, past the cloudy regions here, They rise to heaven above.

THE NAME OF JESUS.

262

JESUS, I love thy blessed name,

'Tis music to mine ear ; Fain would I sound it out so loud

That earth and heaven should hear. ! Yes, thou art precious to my soul,

My transport and my trust ; Jewels to thee are gaudy toys,

And gold is sordid dust.

► All my capacious powers can wish,

In thee doth richly meet ; Nor to mine eyes is light so dear, Nor friendship half so sweet.

: Thy grace still dwells upon my heart, And sheds its fragrance there ; The noblest balm of all its wounds, The cordial of its care.

> I'll speak the honours of thy name

With my last labouring breath ; Then, speechless, clasp thee in mine The antidote of death. [arms,

THE Church's one foundation

Is Jesus Christ, her Lord ; She is his new creation

By water and the Word : From heaven he came and sought her

To be his holy bride, With his own blood he bought her,

And for her life he died.

! 'Mid toil and tribulation

And tumult of her Avar, She waits the consummation

Of peace for evermore ; Till with the vision glorious

Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious,

Shall be the Church at rest.

THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS.

Yet she on earth hath union

With God the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion

With those whose rest is won ; With all her sons and daughters,

Who by the Master's hand Led through the deathly waters,

Repose in Eden-land.

O happy ones and holy !

Lord, give us grace that we, Like them, the meek and lowly,

On high may dwell with thee : There past the border mountains,

Where in sweet vales the bride, With thee by living fountains,

Eor ever shall abide.

THE LAMB OF GOD.

264

0 LAMB of God, once wounded, With grief and pain weighed down,

Thy sacred head surrounded

With thorns, thine only crown !

2 How pale art thou with anguish,

With sore abuse and scorn ! How does that visage languish, Which once was bright as morn !

3 0 Lord of life and glory,

What bliss till now was thine !

1 read the wondrous story,

I joy to call thee mine.

4 Thy grief and thy compassion

Were all for sinners' gain ; Mine, mine was the transgression, But thine the deadly pain.

5 What language shall I borrow,

To praise thee, heavenly Friend, For this thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end %

6 Lord, make me thine for ever,

Nor let me faithless prove ; 0 let me never, never Abuse such dying love !

7 Be near me, Lord, when dvin<x ;

0 show thy cross to me ; And, for my succour flying, Come, Lord, to set me tree :

8 These eyes, new faith receiving,

From Jesus shall not move ; For he who dies believing, Dies safely through thy love.

265 LIFE ETEKNAL.

BBIEF life is here our portion ;

Brief sorrow, short-lived care ; The life that knows no ending,

The tearless life, is there.

2 0 happy retribution !

Short toil, eternal rest ; For mortals and for sinners A mansion with the blest !

3 That we should look, poor wand'rers,

To have our home on high ! That worms should seek for dwellings Beyond the starry sky !

1 4 There grief is turned to pleasure ; Such pleasure, as below No human voice can utter, No human heart can know.

5 And now we fight the battle,

But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting And passionless renown :

6 And now we watch and struggle,

And now we live in hope, And Sion, in her anguish, With Babylon must cope :

7 But he whom now we trust in

Shall then be seen and known, And they that know and see him Shall have him for their own.

8 Yes ! God, my King and portion,

In fulness of his grace, We then shall see for ever, And worship face to face.

THE BETTER LAND.

FOR thee, 0 clear, dear country !

Mine eyes their vigils keep ; For very love, beholding

Thy happy name, they weep : The mention of thy glory

Is unction to the breast, And medicine in sickness,

And love, and life, and rest.

0 one, 0 only mansion,

0 paradise of joy ! Where tears are ever banished

And life has no alloy. Beside thy living waters

All plants are, great and small, The cedar of the forest,

The hyssop of the wall :

With jaspers glow thy bulwarks ;

Thy streets with emeralds blaze ; The sardius and the topaz

Unite in thee their rays : Thine ageless walls are bonded

With amethyst unpriced : Thy saints build up thy fabric,

And the corner-stone is Christ.

Thou hast no shore, fair ocean !

Thou hast no time, bright day ! Dear fountain of refreshment

To pilgrims far away ! Upon the Rock of Ages

They raise thy holy tower : Thine is the victor's laurel,

And thine the golden dower.

THE NEW JERUSALEM.

JERUSALEM the golden,

With, milk and honey blest, Beneath thy contemplation

Sink heart and voice oppressed : I know not, 0 I know not,

What social joys are there ; What radiancy of glory,

What light beyond compare !

They stand, those halls of Sion,

All jubilant with song, And bright with many an angel,

And all the martyr throng : The Prince is ever in them ;

The daylight is serene ; The pastures of the blessed

Are decked in glorious sheen.

There is the throne of David,

And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph,

The shout of them that feast ; And they who, with their Leader,

Have conquered in the fight, For ever and for ever

Are clad in robes of white.

0 sweet and blessed country,

The home of God's elect ! 0 sweet and blessed country,

That eager hearts expect ! Jesus, in mercy bring us

To that dear land of rest, Who art, with God the Father

And Spirit, ever blest.

On our deepest darkness rise ; Scattering all the night of nature,

Pouring day upon our eyes.

Still we wait for thine appearing :

Life and joy thy beams impart, Chasing all our doubts, and cheering

God hath to our ransomed race. Come, thou Advocate and Saviour !

Manifest thy wondrous grace.

Praise him, all ye stars of light. Praise the Lord, for he hath spoken ;

Worlds his mighty voice obeyed : Laws that never shall be broken,

Never shall his promise fail. God hath made his saints victorious ;

Sin and death shall not prevail. Praise the God of our salvation,

ZION'S King shall reign victorious,

All the earth shall own his sway ; He will make his kingdom glorious,

He shall reign in endless day. Nations now from God estranged,

Then shall see a glorious light ; Night to day shall then be changed,

Heaven shall triumph in the sight.

2 Then shall Israel, long dispersed,

Mourning seek their Lord and God, Look on him whom once they pierced,

Own and kiss the chastening rod. Mighty King, thy arm revealing,

Now thy glorious cause maintain, Bring the nations help and healing,

Make them subject to thy reign.

Fill us from thy heavenly store ! Thou art the Church's holy guest, Earnest of her eternal rest ; —

Let us grieve thee nevermore ! ! Great promise of the Father, come, The Church's fading lamps relume ; —

Come, rekindle joy and love ! Wisdom and truth and love are thine, Life, light, and holiness divine ; —

Shed thy gifts down from above ! » Witness of him who died and rose, Who, as the Conqueror of our foes,

Took his seat upon the throne ; Great gift of Jesus glorified, Lcvealer of the crucified,

Unto us reveal the Son !

And thy name we magnify ! Son of the Blessed, thee wc praise, Ancient of heaven's eternal (lays,

Thee, U Christ, we glorify !

Blessed and only potentate, Thee in our hymns we celebrate ;

Son of God and Son of man ; True speaker of the gracious words, Yet King of kings and Lord of lords,

Faithful and unchanging One 1

Great first and last, the Christ of God, From Jesse's stem the regal rod,

Prince of life and Prince of peace ! Great King of saints and King of kings, Still night and day thy Church thee sings,

Never shall thy glories cease.

Thee, thee we hail, now seen afar, Herald of day, fair morning-star,

Light of life, creation's sun ; Bright day-spring of our clouded sky Rising in gladness from on high,

Glorious and unsetting sun !

Heir of all things, creation's head, And first-begotten of the dead ;

All whose dying now is o'er j We praise thee with the Spirit one, The Father's co-eternal Son,

Praise we give thee evermore !

2^9 THE CROSS.

BY the cross of Jesus standing, Love our straitened souls expanding,

Taste we now the peace and grace ! Health from yonder tree is flowing, Heavenly light is on it glowing,

From the blessed Sufferer's face.

! Here is pardon's pledge and token, Guilt's strong chain for ever broken,

Righteous peace securely made. Brightens now the brow, once shaded, Freshens now the face, once faded,

Peace with God now makes us glad.

» All the love of God is yonder, Love above all thought and wonder,

Perfect love that casts out fear ! Strength, like dew, is here distilling, Glorious life our souls is filling ; —

Life eternal, only here !

: Here the living water welleth, Here the rock now smitten, telleth

Of salvation freely given. This the fount of love and pity, This the pathway to the City,

This the very gate of heaven.

280 UPWARD.

UPWARD, where the stars are burning, Silent, silent in their turning

Round the never-changing pole ; Upward, where the sky is brightest, Upward, where the blue is lightest,

Lift I now my longing soul.

2 Where the glory brightly d welleth, Where the new song sweetly swelleth,

And the discord never comes ; Where life's stream is ever laving, And the palm is ever waving ;

That must be the home of homes !

3 Where the Lamb on high is seated, By ten thousand voices greeted,

Lord of lords and King of kings ! Son of man they crown, they crown him ; Son of God they own, they own him ;

With his name the palace rings !

1 Blessing, honour, without measure, Heavenly riches, earthly treasure,

Lay we at his blessed feet : Poor the praise that now we render, Loud shall be our voices yonder,

When before his throne we meet !

281 CHRISTIAN LOYE. 1 COR. XIII.

THOUGH perfect eloquence adorned My sweet persuading tongue,

Though I could speak in higher strains Than ever angel sung ;

2 Though prophecy my soul inspired,

And made all mysteries plain : Yet, were I void of Christian love, These gifts were all in vain.

3 Kay, though my faith with boundless

power Ev'n mountains could remove, I still am nothing, if I'm void Of charity and love.

4 Although with liberal hand I gave

My goods the poor to feed, Kay, gave my body to the flames, ►Still fruitless were the deed.

282 CHARITY PORTRAYED.

LOVE suffers long ; love envies not ;

But love is ever kind ; She never boasteth of herself,

Nor proudly lifts the mind.

2 Love harbours no suspicious thought,

Is patient to the bad ; [crimes,

Grieved when she hears of sins and And in the truth is glad.

3 Love no unseemly carriage shows,

Nor selfishly confined ; She glows with social tenderness, And feels for all mankind.

4 Love beareth much, much she believes,

And still she hopes the best ; Love meekly suffers many a wrong, Though sore with hardship pressed.

5 Love still shall hold an endless reign In earth and heaven above, When tongues shall cease, and prophets And every gift but love. [fail,

283 THE BEST 0F graces. HEEE all our gifts imperfect are ;

But better days draw nigh, When perfect light shall pour its rays, And all those shadows fly.

2 Like children here we speak and think,

Amused with childish toys ; But when our powers their manhood reach, "We'll scorn our present joys.

3 Now dark and dim, as through a glass,

Are God and truth beheld ;

Then shall we see as face to face,

And God shall be unveiled.

4 Faith, hope, and love now dwell on earth,

And earth by them is blest ; But faith and hope must yield to love, Of all the graces best.

5 Hope shall to full fruition rise,

And faith be sight above : These are the means, but this the end j Eor saints for ever love.

284 GREATNESS OF GOD.

HOW great a being, Lord, is thine,

Which doth all beings keep ! Thy knowledge is the oidy line

To sound so vast a deep. 2 Thou art a sea without a shore,

A sun without a sphere ; Thy time is now and evermore,

Thy place is everywhere.

3 How good art thou, whose goodness is

Our parent, nurse, and guide ; Whose streams do water paradise, And all the earth beside.

4 Thine arm of might, most mighty King,

Both rocks and hearts doth break : My God, thou canst do everything, But what would show thee weak.

5 Most pure and holy are thine eyes,

Most holy is thy name, Thy saints, and laws, and penalties, Thy holiness proclaim.

6 Thy stately goings, God of grace,

We humbly here adore ; Show us thy glory and thy face, That we may praise thee more.

285 G0D'S WAY-

GOD moves in a mysterious way

His wonders to perform ; He plants his footsteps in the sea,

And rides upon the storm.

2 Deep in unfathomable mines

Of never-failing skill, He treasures up his bright designs And works his sovereign will

3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take,

The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head.

4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,

But trust him for his grace ; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 9

5 His purposes will ripen fast,

Unfolding every hour ; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower.

6 Blind unbelief is sure to err,

And scan his work in vain ; God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain.

286 BETHLEHEM.

WHILE humble shepherds watched their flocks

In Bethlehem's plains by night, An angel sent from heaven appeared,

And filled the plains with light. Fear not, he said (for sudden dread

Had seized their troubled mind) ; Glad tidings of great joy I bring

To you, and all mankind. To you, in David's town, this day

Is born, of David's line, The Saviour, who is Christ the Lord ;

And this shall be the sign : The heavenly babe you there shall find

To human view displayed, All meanly wrapt in swaddling-bands,

And in a manger laid. Thus spake the seraph ; and forthwith

Appeared a shining throng Of angels, praising God ; and thus

Addressed their joyful song : All glory be to God on high,

And to the earth be peace ; Good-will is shown by Heaven to men,

And never more shall cease.

THE REFUGE.

JESUS, lover of my soul,

Let me to thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll,

While the tempest still is high : Hide me, 0 my Saviour, hide,

Till the storm of life is past ; Safe into the haven guide,

0 receive my soul at last !

Other refuge have I none ;

Hangs my helpless soul on thee j Leave, ah ! leave me not alone,

Still support and comfort me ! All my trust on thee is stayed,

All my help from thee I bring : Cover my defenceless head

With the shadow of thy wing !

Thou, 0 Christ, art all I want :

More than all in thee I find : Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,

Heal the sick, and lead the blind ! Just and holy is thy name ;

I am all unrighteousness : False and full of sin I am ;

Thou art full of truth and grace.

Plenteous grace with thee is found,

Grace to cover all my sin ; Let the healing streams abound ;

Make and keep me pure within ! Thou of life the fountain art,

Freely let me take of thee ; Spring thou up within my heart !

Rise to all eternity !

FOR THE SABBATH.

LORD, remove the veil away, Let us see thyself to-day : Thou who earnest from on high, For our sins to bleed and die, Help us now to cast aside All that would our hearts divide ; With the Father and the Son Let thy living Church be one.

Oh, from earthly cares set free, Let us find our rest in thee ; May our toils and conflicts cease In the calm of Sabbath peace ; That thy people here below Something of the bliss may know, Something of the rest and love, In the Sabbath-home above.

From beyond the grave's dark night, What mild radiance meets my sight 1 Softly stealing on the ear, What strange music do I hear % 'Tis the golden crowns on high, 'Tis the chorus of the sky. Lord, thy sinful child prepare For a place and portion there.

Give my soul the spotless dress Of thy perfect righteousness ; Then at length, a welcome guest, I shall enter to the feast, Take the harp and raise the song, All thy ransomed ones among ; Farthly cares and sorrows o'er, Joys to last for evermore.

289 PSALM XX.

IK the day when trouble's nigh, May Jehovah hear thy cry ; Be the name of Jacob's God Thy defence and buckler broad, Out of Zion send thee grace, Succour from his holy place.

2 Let him look with gracious eyes On thy burning sacrifice, Vows remember meekly made, Gifts upon his altar laid, Grant thee all thy heart's desire, And thy secret thoughts inspire.

3 Very joyful, Lord, shall we In thy great salvation be ; In the name of God our stay, We our banners will display. Let Jehovah, ever nigh, Listen to his servant's cry.

4 Now I know the Lord doth bring Help to his anointed King, Hears his cry in all distress, From his heaven of holiness, With his hand in danger's hour, Quick to show its saving power.

i Some may trust in arm of war, Battle steed or brazen car ; — Ours is in the Lord's right hand : When they stumble, we can stand, Rise erect when others fall Save, Lord, hear us when we calL

290 PSALM LXVII.

GOD of mercy, God of grace, Show( the brightness of thy face : Shine upon us, Saviour, shine, Fill thy Church with life divine ; And thy saving health extend Unto earth's remotest end.

! Let thy people praise thee, Lord ; Be by all that live adored : Let the nations shout and sing Glory to their Saviour King ; At thy feet their tributes pay, And thy holy will obey.

i Let the people praise thee, Lord ; Earth shall then her fruits afford : God to man his blessing give, Man to God devoted live ; All below and all above, One in joy, and light, and love.

293 THE CLOSING YEAR.

ANOTHEK year hath fled ; renew, Lord, with our days thy love !

Our days are evil here and few ; "We look to live above :

We will not grieve, though day by day

"We pass from earthly joys away ; Our joy abides in thee.

2 Yet, when our sins we call to mind,

We cannot fail to grieve ; But thou art pitiful and kind,

And wilt our prayer receive : 0 Jesus, evermore the same, Our hope we rest upon thy Name ;

Our hope abides in thee.

3 For all the future, Lord, prepare

Our souls with strength Divine ; Help us to cast on thee our care,

And on thy servants shine : Life without thee is dark and drear ; Death is not death if thou art near ;

Our life abides in thee.

294

THE

MOURNERS PRAYER.

0 THOU who diedst to give us life, Full well to thee is known

The cross, and all the inner strife

Of those who weep alone, And 'neath their burden well nigh faint ; The aching heart's unspoken plaint

Finds echo in thine own.

Ah Christ, do thou within me speak, For thou canst comfort best;

The tower and stronghold of the weak, The weary wanderer's rest,

Our shadow in the noonday hours,

And when the tempest round us lowers, Our shelter safe and blest.

0 Holy Spirit, sent of God,

In whom all gladness lies, Refresh my soul, lift olf her load,

From thee all sadness flies ; Thou know'st the glories yet to come, The joy, the solace, of that home

Where we shall one day rise.

There in thy presence we shall see

Glories beyond our ken ; Tho cross known here to none but thee

Shall turn to gladness then ; There smiles for all our tears are given, And for our woes the joys of heaven.

Lord, I believe ! Amen !

IMMANUELS LAND.

THE sands of time are sinking,

The dawn of heaven breaks, The summer morn I've sighed for,

The fair sweet morn awakes : Dark, dark hath been the midnight,

But day-spring is at hand, And glory, glory dwelleth

In Innnanuel's land.

Oh ! Christ, he is the fountain,

The deep sweet well of love ; The streams of earth I've tasted,

More deep I'll drink above. There to an ocean fulness

His mercy doth expand, And glory, glory dwelleth

In Immanuel's land.

With mercy and with judgment,

My web of time he wove, And aye the dews of sorrow

AVere lustered with his love. I'll bless the hand that guided,

I'll bless the heart that planned, When throned where glory dwelleth,

In Immanuel's land.

Oh ! I am my Beloved's,

And my Beloved's mine, He brings a poor vile sinner

Into his "house of wine." I stand upon his merit ;

I know no other stand, Not e'en where glory dwelleth,

In Immanuel's land.

296 "take comfort, christians."

TAKE comfort, Christians, when your In Jesus fall asleep ; [friends

Their better being never ends ; Why then dejected weep? I Why inconsolable, as those To whom no hope is given ] Death is the messenger of peace, And calls the soul to heaven. 3 As Jesus died, and rose again Victorious from the dead ; So his disciples rise, and reign With their triumphant Head. i The time draws nigh, when from the clouds Christ shall with shouts descend, And the last trumpet's awful voice The heavens and earth shall rend.

5 Then they who live shall changed be,

And they who sleep shall wake ; The graves shall yield their ancient charge, And earth's foundations shake.

6 The saints of God, from death set free,

With joy shall mount on high ; The heavenly hosts with praises loud Shall meet them in the sky.

7 Together to their Father's house

With joyful hearts they go ; And dwell for ever with the Lord, Beyond the reach of woe.

8 A few short years of evil past,

We reach the happy shore, Where death-divided friends at last Shall meet, to part no more.

297" THE L0VE 0F CHRIST- 0 BLESSED Saviour, is thy love

So great, so full, so free ? Behold, we give our thoughts, our hearts,

Our lives, our all, to thee.

1 We love thee for the glorious worth

Which in thyself we see ; We love thee for that shameful cross Endured so patiently.

3 No man of greater love can boast

Than for his friend to die; Thou for thine enemies wast slain ! What love with thine can vie1?

4 Make us like thee in meekness, love,

And every beauteous grace ; Erom glory unto glory changed, Till we behold thy face.

298 CHILDREN DEDICATED.

OLTR children, Lord, in faith and prayer,

We now devote to thee ; Let them thy covenant mercies share,

And thy salvation see.

2 Such helpless babes thou didst em-

While dwelling here below ; [brace, To us, and ours, 0 God of grace ! The same compassion show.

3 In early days their hearts secure From worldly snares, we pray ;

And let them to the end endure

In every righteous way. Grant us before them, Lord, to live

In holy faith and fear ; And 11 i»'ii to heaven our souls remove,

And bring our children there.

299 PSALM CX.

ALL heaven was hushed ; our risen Lord

Passed by where angels stand ; And then Jehovah spake the word,

" Sit thou at my right hand : I "Be thou the Mediator King,

And wear thy glory-crown ; Till to thy name each lofty tiling

In earth and heaven bows down.

3 " Eedeeming love thy strength shall "be,

Thy gospel quell thy foes ; The whole world's fierce malignity Shall all in vain oppose."

4 Lord, let thy day of power be shown,

Thy people be confessed ; Eager and valiant — priests, each one In holy garments dressed ;

5 Countless as shine the dews from heaven

When eastern skies grow bright ; More glorious than those dews are given Sparkling in morning light.

6 And thou art High-priest over all ;

'Twras thus Jehovah swore : King, Priest, and Warrior mystical, And thou shalt go before.

7 Jesus, my Priest ! my soul is thine,

My spirit owns thy power ; Jesus, my King ! thy right divine I worship from this hour.

300 THE GOODNESS OF GOD.

THY goodness, Lord, our souls confess

Thy goodness we adore ; A spring, whose blessings never fail,

A sea without a shore.

2 Sun, moon, and stars, thy love attest

In every cheerful ray ; Love drawrs the curtains of the night, And love restores the day.

3 Thy bounty every season crowns

With all the bliss it yields, With joyful clusters bend the vines, With harvests wave the fields.

4 But chiefly thy compassions, Lord,

Are in the Gospel seen ; There, like the sun, thy mercy shines Without a cloud between.

301 AFTER SERMON.

ALMIGHTY God : thy word is cast

Like seed into the ground : Now let the dew of heaven descend,

And righteous fruits abound. Let not the foe of Christ and man

This holy seed remove ; But give it root in every heart

To bring forth fruits of love. Let not the world's deceitful cares

The rising plant destroy, But may it yield a hundred-fold

The fruits of peace and joy. Let not thy word so kindly sent

To raise us to thy throne, Eeturn to thee, and sadly tell

That we reject thy Son. Oft as the precious seed is sown,

Thy quickening grace bestow ; That all, whose souls the truth receive,

Its saving power may know.

THE PILGRIM.

PILGEIM passing, worn and weary, Through this vale of shadows dreary, Yearning for the bright to-morrow Which shall break on all thy sorrow, — Tranquil still, and uncomplaining, Bear the load thy spirit paining.

Grasp in faith the hand of Jesus, Who from all our anguish frees us, And imparts the peace of heaven To the soul, through him forgiven, So that wondrous light and gladness Take the place of gloom and sadness.

Onward, then, in hope new-springing ! Hear the strains around thee ringing, — Pilgrim-songs of many others, Of a countless band of brothers, Called from sin by grace supernal To the realm of bliss eternal.

"Hand in hand, in pilgrim fashion, — Earthly pomp and pride and passion Leaving far behind, we hasten, Through the griefs our souls that

chasten, Homewards, 'mid the light excelling, Till we reach our Father's dwelling :

5 Homewards, where his throne of glory Makes the sunbeams wan and hoary ■ Where from it life's crystal river Bolls through Paradise for ever ; Where we wear the raiment shining, On Immanuel's breast reclining."

6 So the song of hope ascendeth,

As his way the pilgrim wendeth, — Still the burden of the chorus Eings, " The Lord is watching o'er us ; And his hand for ransomed mortals Opes at last the golden portals !"

303 0UR TRUST AXD TREASURE.

PBINCE of Peace ! how rich our Trea- sure ! Thine is Jove too deep to measure ! On thy changeless word relying, — Ransomed, Saviour, by thy dying ; Thou on eagles' wings wilt bear us, jSTone from thy cleft side may tear us.

2 Oh, what love to us thourt bearing, On thy heart our names thou'rt wearing. Sheltered by thine arm of power, We are safe in danger's hour ; Through thy dying made victorious, We shall share thy triumph glorious.

304 GRATITUDE.

NOW thank we aU our God, With heart, and hands, and voices, Who wondrous things hath done, In whom his world rejoices ; Who from our mother's arms

Hath blessed us on our way With countless gifts of love, And still is ours to-day.

Oh may this bounteous God Through all our life be near us,

With ever joyful hearts And blessed peace to cheer us ; And keep us in his grace,

And guide us when perplexed, And free us from all ills In this world and the next.

All praise and thanks to God, The Father, now be given,

The Son, and him who reigns With them in highest heaven, The One eternal God,

Whom earth and heaven adore ; For thus it was, is now, And shall be evermore.

305 "HE CAME TO HIS OWN."

0 THOU essential Word, Who wast from the beginning

With God, for thou wast God ; Thou hope of all the sinning, Chosen to save our race,

Welcome indeed thou art, Eedeemer, Fount of Grace, To this my longing heart.

Come, self-existent Word, And speak thou in my spirit ;

The soul where thou art heard, Doth endless peace inherit. Thou light that lightenest all, Abide through faith in me, Nor let me from thee fall, Nor seek a guide but thee.

Now let me give my heart To thee who loved me wholly,

And live, while here I dwell, To show thy praises solely. Yes, Jesus, form anew

This stony heart of mine, Make it till death still true To thee, for ever thine.

HOW are my troublers multiplied, 0

Lord!

Many there be against me that arise ;

Many there be that to my soul do say,

For him in God no help nor succour

lies.

2 But thou a shield for me, Jehovah, art ;

My glory; he who lifteth up my

head : Unto Jehovah with my voice I cried, And from his holy hill he answer

made.

3 I laid me down ; I slept, and I awoke ;

For me Jehovah doth sustain for aye ; I will not fear the people's thousands ten Which have me girt around in fierce array.

4 Rise, Lord, me save ! 'tis thou that

smit'st my foes ; The teeth thou breakest of the wicked

all; Salvation be unto the Lord alone, Upon thy people let thy blessing fall.

307" psalm exxx.

OUT of the depths on thee I called have, Jehovah ! Hear my voice, 0 Lord, on high;

Oh let thine ears still listen, and give heed Unto the voice of this my pleading cry.

Who, 0 Jehovah, could before thee stand, If thou, 0 Lord, should'st mark iniquity 1 But with thee are the pardon and the grace, That thou because of this should'st feared be.

I for Jehovah wait ! my soul doth wait ! His word I hope in; to the Lord mine eye Looks more than that of watchers for the morn, Than watchers for the morn more longingly.

Let Israel in Jehovah hope ; for with Jehovah is the mercy ; and with him

There is redemption plenteous, and ho From all his sins his Israel shall re- deem.

How gently speak and say, Rise up, my love, my fair one, rise, Arid come away ! 2 Past is the winter and the cold, The rain is o'er and gone, The flowers appear upon the earth, Now glows the sun :

3 The singing of the birds is come ; All listening now we stand ; The turtle-dove's low note is heard Through all the land.

1 The fig-tree buds, the tender vines

Are fragrant as the day, Arise, my love, my beautiful, And come away !

5 My dove, who in yon rock of rocks,

Lost in my love rejoice, Come, let me see thy countenance, And hear thy voice.

6 Mine my beloved is, I his ;

Among the lilies he Will feed until the morning breaks, And shadows flee !

310 HOPE.

THE gloomy night will soon be past,

The morning star appear ; The rays of blessed light at last Each eye will cheer.

2 Thou bright and Morning Star, thy light

Will to our joy be seen ; Thou, Lord, wilt meet our longing sight, No cloud between.

3 Thy love sustains us on our way

While pilgrims here below ; Thou dost, 0 Saviour, day by day Thy grace bestow.

4 But, oh, the more we learn of thee,

And thy rich mercy prove, The more we long thy face to see And know thy love.

PSALM XIX.

THE heavens declare his glory,

Their Maker's skill the skies : Each day repeats the story,

And night to night replies. Their silent proclamation

Throughout the earth is heard ; The record of creation,

The page of nature's word.

There, from his bright pavilion,

Like eastern bridegroom clad, Hailed by earth's thousand million,

The sun sets forth : right glad, His glorious race commencing,

The mighty giant seems ; Through the vast round dispensing

His all-pervading beams.

So pure, so soul-restoring,

Is truth's diviner ray ; A brighter radiance pouring

Than all the pomp of day : The wanderer surely guiding

It makes the simple wise ; And, evermore abiding,

Unfailing joy supplies.

Thy word is richer treasure

Than lurks within the mine ; And daintiest fare less pleasure

Yields than this food divine. How wise each kind monition !

Led by thy counsels, Lord, How safe the saints' condition,

How great is their reward !

But past transgressions pain me :

Lord ! cleanse my heart within \ And evermore restrain me

From all presumptuous sin. So let my whole behaviour,

Thoughts, words, and actions be, 0 God, my strength and Saviour,

Acceptable to thee.

DOXOLOGY.

TO thee be praise for ever,

Thou glorious King of kings, Thy wondrous love and favour

Each ransomed spirit sings. "We'll celebrate thy glory

With all thy saints above, And shout the joyful story

Of thy redeeming love.

312 PSALM LXXII.

HAIL to the Lord's Anointed !

Great David's greater Son ; Hail, in the time appointed,

His reign on earth begun. He comes to break oppression,

To set the captive free ; To take away transgression,

And rule in equity.

\ He comes with succour speedy

To those who suffer wrong ; To help the poor and needy,

And bid the weak be strong ; To give them songs for sighing ;

Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemned and dying,

Were precious in his sight.

He shall come down like showers

Upon the fruitful earth ; And joy and hope, like flowers,

Spring, in his path, to birth. Before him, on the mountains,

Shall peace, the herald, go ; And righteousness, in fountains,

Prom hill to valley flow.

4 Kings shall fall down before him, And gold and incense bring :

All nations shall adore him ;

His praise all people sing ; For he shall have dominion

O'er river, sea, and shore, Far as the eagle's pinion

Or dove's light wing can soar.

5 For him shall prayer uneeasing And daily vows ascend ;

His kingdom still increasing,

A kingdom without end. The heavenly dew shall nourish

A seed in weakness sown, Whose fruit shall spread and nourish,

And shake like Lebanon.

6 O'er every foe victorious,

He on his throne shall rest ;

From age to age more glorious,

. All blessing and all blest.

The tide of time shall never His covenant remove ;

His name shall stand for ever ; His great, best name of Love !

HARK how the adoring hosts above With songs surround the throne !

Ten thousand thousand are their tongues, But all their hearts are one.

2 Worthy the Lamb that died ! they cry,

To be exalted thus ; — Worthy the Lamb ! let us reply, For he was slain for us.

3 To him be power divine ascribed,

And endless blessings paid ! Salvation, glory, joy, remain For ever on his head !

4 Thou hast redeemed us with thy blood,

And set the prisoners free ; [God, Thou mad'st us kings and priests to And we shall reign with thee.

5 From every kindred, every tongue,

Thou brought'st thy chosen race ; And distant lands and isles have shared The riches of thy grace.

6 Let all that dwell above the sky,

Or on the earth below, With fields and floods, and ocean's shores, To thee their homage show.

7 To him who sits upon the throne,

The God whom we adore ! And to the Lamb that once was slain, Be glory evermore !

THE race that long in darkness pined Have seen a glorious light :

The people dwell in day, who dwelt In death's surrounding night. 10

2 To hail thy rise, thou better Sun !

The gathering nations come,

Joyous, as when the reapers bear

The harvest treasures home.

3 For thou our burden hast removed,

And quelled the oppressor's sway, Quick as the slaughtered squadrons fell In Midian's evil day.

4 To us a Child of hope is born ;

To us a Son is given ; Him shall the tribes of earth obey, Him all the hosts of heaven.

5 His name shall be the Prince of Peace,

For evermore adored, The Wonderful, the Counsellor, The great and mighty Lord.

6 His power increasing still shall spread,

His reign no end shall know ; Justice shall guard his throne above, And peace abound below.

318 SALVATION.

SALVATION ! oh the joyful sound !

'Tis music to our ears ! A sovereign balm for every wound,

A cordial for our fears !

2 Buried in sorrow and in sin,

At hell's dark door we lay ; But we arise, by grace divine, To see a heavenly day.

3 Salvation ! let the echo fly

The spacious earth around, While all the armies of the sky Conspire to raise the sound !

SWEET is the solace of thy love, My heavenly Friend, to me,

While through the hidden way of faith I journey home with thee,

Learning by quiet thankfulness As a dear child to be.

2 Oh, there is nothing in the world

To weigh against thy will ; Even the dark times I dread the most

Thy covenant fulfil ; And when the pleasant morning dawns

I find thee with me still.

3 Then in the secret of my soul,

Though hosts my peace invade, Though through a waste and weary land

My lonely way be made, Thou, even thou, wilt comfort me —

I need not be afraid.

4 Still in the solitary place

I would awhile abide, Till with the solace of thy love

My heart is satisfied, And all my hopes of happiness

Stay calmly at thy side.

320 THE LIFE 0F love.

FATHEB, I know that all my life

Is portioned out for me, And the changes that are sure to come

I do not fear to see ; But I ask thee for a present mind,

Intent on pleasing thee.

! I ask thee for a thoughtful love, Through constant watching wise,

To meet the glad with joyful smiles And wipe the weeping eyes ;

And a heart at leisure from itself, To soothe and sympathize.

I There are briers besetting every path, That call for patient care ; There is a cross in every lot,

And an earnest need for prayer ; But a lowly heart, that leans on thee, Is happy anywhere.

: In a service which thy will appoints There are no bonds for me ;

For my inmost soul is taught the truth That makes thy children free ;

And a life of self-renouncing love Is a life of liberty.

0 LOYE Divine, how sweet thou art ! When shall I find my willing heart

All taken up by thee 1

1 thirst, I faint, I die to prove The greatness of redeeming love,

The love of Christ to me !

Stronger his love than death or hell j Its riches are unsearchable :

The first-born sons of light Desire in vain its depths to see ; They cannot reach the mystery,

The length, and breadth, and height.

God only knows the love of God : Oh that it now were shed abroad

In this poor stony heart ! Tor love I sigh, for love I pine : This only portion, Lord, be mine,

Be mine this better part I

: Oh that I could for ever sit With Mary at the Master's feet !

Be this my happy choice : My only care, delight, and bliss, My joy, my heaven on earth, be this, To hear the Bridegroom's voice ! 10*

322 "casting care on him." 0 LOBD, how happy should we be, If we could cast our care on thee,

If we from self could rest ; And feel, at heart, that One above, In perfect wisdom, perfect love,

Is working for the best ! Could we but kneel and cast our load, E'en while we pray, upon our God ;

Then rise with lightened cheer, Sure that the Father, who is nigh To still the famished raven's cry,

Will hear in that we fear. > How far from this our daily life ! Ever disturbed by anxious strife,

By sudden, wild alarms : Oh could we but relinquish all Our earthly props, and simply fall

On thine almighty arms !

DOXOLOGY.

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom heaven's triumphant

And the whole church adore, [host Be glory, as in ages past, As now it is, and so shall last

When time shall be no more.

HOSANNA ! raise the joyful hyinn

To David's Son and Lord ; "With cherubim and seraphim

Exalt the Incarnate Word. Hosanna ! Lord, our feeble tongue

No lofty strains can raise ; But thou wilt not despise the young,

Who meekly chant thy praise.

2 Hosanna ! Sovereign, Prophet, Priest,

How vast thy gifts, how free ! Thy blood, our life ; thy word, our feast ;

Thy name our only plea. Hosanna ! Master, lo !

Our offerings to thy throne ; Not gold, nor myrrh, nor mortal thing,

But hearts to be thine own.

3 Hosanna ! once thy gracious ear

Approved a lisping throng ; Be gracious still, and deign to hear

Our poor but grateful song. 0 Saviour, if, redeemed by thee,

Thy temple we behold, Hosannas through eternity

We'll sing to harps of gold.

THE CONQUESTS OF THE CROSS.

THE Son of God goes forth to war,

A kingly crown to gain ; His blood-red banner streams afar, —

Who follows in his train 1 Who best can drink his cup of woe,

Triumphant over pain, Who patient bears his cross below, —

He follows in his train.

,A glorious band, the chosen few,

On whom the Spirit came ; [knew, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they

And mocked the cross and flame. They met the tyrant's brandished steel,

The lion's gory mane ; They bowed their necks the death to feel ;

Who follows in their train 1

A noble army, men and boys,

The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour's throne rejoice,

In robes of light arrayed : They climbed the steep ascent of heaven,

Through peril, toil, and pain j 0 God ! to us may grace be given

To fullow in their train.

325 THE ETERNAL SUMMER.

NOW fain my joyous heart would sing

That lovely summer-time, When God reneweth everything

In his celestial prime ; When he shall make new heavens and

And all the creatures there [earth, Shall spring from out that second birth

All glorious, pure, and fair.

And he will lead the white-robed throng

To his fair Paradise, Where from the marriage-feast the song

Of endless praise shall rise ; And from his fathomless abyss

Of perfect love and truth, Shall flow perpetual joy and bliss,

In never-ending youth.

0 God, now lead me of thy love,

Through this dark world aright ; Lord Christ, defend me, lest I rove,

Or lies delude my sight ; And keep me steadfast in the faith

Till these dark days have ceased, And ready still in life, and death,

For thy great marriage-feast.

326 THE L0VE 0F G0D- THY ceaseless, unexhausted love,

Unmerited and free, Delights our evil to remove,

And help our misery. Thou waitest to be gracious still,

Thou dost with sinners bear : That, saved, we may thy goodness feel,

And all thy grace declare.

Thy goodness and thy truth to me,

To every soul abound ; A vast, unfathomable sea,

Where all our thoughts are drowned. Its streams the whole creation reach,

So plenteous is the store : Enough for all, enough for each,

Enough for evermore.

Faithful, 0 Lord, thy mercies are !

A rock that cannot move : A thousand promises declare

Thy constancy of love. Throughout the universe it reigns,

Unalterably sure ; And while the truth of God remains,

His goodness must endure.

FATHER of peace, and God of love !

"We own thy power to save, That power by which our Shepherd rose

Victorious o'er the grave. Him from the dead thoubrought'st again,

When, by his sacred blood, Confirmed and sealed for evermore,

Th' eternal covenant stood. i Oh may thy Spirit seal our souls,

And mould them to thy will, That our weak hearts no more may stray,

But keep thy precepts still ; : That to perfection's sacred height

We nearer still may rise, And all we think, and all we do,

Be pleasing in thine eyes.

328 PRAYER FOR SINCERITY.

LORD, when we bend before thy throne,

And our confessions pour, Teach us to feel the sins we own, And hate what we deplore. ] When we disclose our wants in prayer. May we our wills resign, And not a thought our bosom share That is not wholly thine ; J May faith each weak petition fill, And waft it to the skies ; And teach our hearts 'tis goodness still That grants it, or denies. I When our united voices strive Their cheerful hymns to raise, Let love divine within us live, And lift our souls in praise.

LO ! what a glorious sight appears

To our admiring eyes ! The former seas have passed away,

The former earth and skies.

2 From heaven the New Jerusalem comes,

All worthy of her Lord ; See all things now at last renewed, And Paradise restored !

3 The God of glory down to men

Removes his blessed abode ; He dwells with men ; his people, they, And he, his people's God.

4 His gracious hand shall wipe the tears

From every weeping eye ; And pains and groans, and griefs and And death itself, shall die. [fears,

5 " Behold, I change all human things ! "

Saith he, whose words are true ; " Lo ! what was old is passed away, And all things are made new !

6 " Ho, ye that thirst ! to you my grace

Shall hidden streams disclose, And open full the sacred spring Whence life for ever flows.

" Blessed is the man that overcomes ;

I '11 own him for a son ; A rich inheritance rewards

The conquests he hath won."

Oh may we stand before the Lamb, When earth and seas are fled ;

And hearthe Judge pronounce our name, With blessings on our head !

Which laid our sins on thee, And led thee to a cruel death, To set thy people free !

3 But now the bonds of death are burst,

The ransom has been paid ; And thou art on thy Father's throne, In glorious robes arrayed.

4 Oh may thy mighty love prevail

Our sinful souls to spare ! Oh may we stand around thy throne, And see thy glory there.

5 0 Christ ! be thou our present joy,

Our future great reward : Our only glory may it be To glory in the Lord.

332 TRUE MICHES.

WHAT though no flowers the fig-tree clothe,

Though vines their fruit deny, The labour of the olive fail,

And fields no meat supply 1

2 Though from the fold, with sad surprise,

My flock cut off I see ; Though famine pine in empty stalls, Where herds were wont to be 1

3 Yet in the Lord will I be glad,

And glory in his love ; In him I'll joy, who will the God Of my salvation prove.

4 He to my tardy feet shall lend

The swiftness of the roe ; Till, raised on high, I safely dwell Beyond the reach of woe.

5 God is the treasure of my soul,

The source of lasting joy ; _ A joy which want shall not impair, Xor death itself destroy.

HERALDS of creation ! cry- Praise the Lord, the Lord most high ! Heaven and earth ! obey the call, Praise the Lord, the Lord of all.

2 For he spake, and forth from night Sprang the universe to light :

He commanded, — Nature heard, And stood fast upon his word.

3 Praise him, all ye hosts above, Spirits perfected in love ;

Sun and moon ! your voices raise, Sing, ye stars ! your Maker's praise.

4 Earth ! from all thy depths below, Ocean's hallelujahs flow, Lightning, vapour, wind, and storm, Hail and snow ! his will perform.

5 Vales and mountains ! burst in song ; Rivers ! roll his praise along ;

Clap your hands, ye trees ! and hail God, who comes in every gale.

6 Kings ! your Sovereign serve with awe ; Judges ! own his righteous law ; Princes ! worship him with fear j Bow the knee, all people ! here.

7 Let his truth by babes be told, And his wonders by the old ; Youths and maidens ! in your prime. Learn the lays of heaven betime.

8 High above all height his throne, Excellent his name alone ; Him let all his works confess, Him let every being bless.

334 THE WAR-SONG OF THE CHURCH.

SOUNDS the trumpet from afar ! Soldiers of the holy war ! Eise ; for you your Captain waits ; Eise ; the foe is at the gates !

2 Arm ! the conflict has begun ; Fight ! the battle must be won ; Lift the banner to the sky, Wave its blazing folds on high.

3 Banner of the blessed tree, — Bound its glory gather ye ! Warriors of the crown and cross, What is earthly gain or loss ?

4 Life with death, and death with life, Closes now in deadly strife ;

Help us with, thy shield and sword, King and Captain, mighty Lord !

5 King of glory, thou alone ; King of kings, thy name we own ; With thy banner overhead,

Not ten thousand foes we dread.

6 Spare not toil, nor blood, nor pain, Not a stroke descends in vain ; Wounded, still no foot we yield On this ancient battle-field.

7 More than conquerors even now, With the war-sweat on our brow, Onward o'er the well-marked road, March we as the host of God.

8 Royal is the sword we wield, Eoyal is our battle-field, Royal is our victory,

Eoyal shall our triumph be !

335 THE S0NG 0F JUBILEE.

HAKK ! the song of Jubilee,

Loud as mighty thunder's roar, Or the fulness of the sea,

When it breaks upon the shore : Hallelujah ! for the Lord

God omnipotent shall reign : Hallelujah ! let the word

Echo round the earth and main.

! Hallelujah ! hark ! the sound,

From the centre to the skies, Wakes above, beneath, around,

All creation's harmonies ; See Jehovah's banner furled, [done ;

Sheathed his sword : — he speaks — 'tis And the kingdoms of this world

Are the kingdoms of his Son.

\ He shall reign from pole to pole,

With illimitable sway ; He shall reign, when like a scroll

Yonder heavens have passed away : Then the end ; — beneath his rod

Man's last enemy shall fall : Hallelujah ! Christ in God,

God in Christ, is all in all.

336 UNIVERSAL PRAISE.

SONGS of praise the angels sang, Heaven with hallelujahs rang, When Jehovah's work begun, When he spake, and it was done. Songs of praise awoke the morn When the Prince of Peace was born ; Songs of praise arose when he Captive led captivity.

Heaven and earth must pass away, Songs of praise shall crown that day ; God will make new heavens, new earth, Songs of praise shall hail their birth. And can man alone be dumb, Till that glorious kingdom come 1 No ; — the Church delights to raise Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise.

Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice ; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. Borne upon their latest breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death : Then, amidst eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ.

THE WORD OF GOO.

THE Spirit breathes upon the word,

And brings the truth to sight • Precepts and promises afford

A sanctifying light. A glory gilds the sacred page,

Majestic like the sun ; It gives a light to every age,

It gives, but borrows none. The hand that gave it still supplies

The gracious light and heat ; His truths upon the nations rise ;

They rise, but never set. Let everlasting thanks be thine

For such a bright display As makes a world of darkness shine

"With beams of heavenly day. My soul rejoices to pursue

The steps of him I love, Till glory breaks upon my view

In brighter worlds above.

338 OPENING A PLACE OF WORSHIP.

SPIRIT of glory and of grace,

Thy favour we entreat ; Thou true Shekinah of the place Where true disciples meet. ; Oh let the labour of our hands Be precious in thy sight ; And, long as this our temple stands, Thy presence be its light. i Here float the gospel-banner wide O'er faithful hearts and brave ; And here, 0 Jesus crucified, Come forth in power to save !

4 Make bare thine arm, thou K ing of saints,

To bring dead souls to life ; And, when thy children's courage faints, Renew them for the strife.

5 No Bochim this — no place of woe,

But Pisgah's holy steep, Where dying ones their heaven shall Ere yet they fall asleep : [know,

6 While we who live shall urge the race,

If Jesus be but here : Spirit of glory and of grace, Revealing Christ, appear !

FOR OUR COUNTRY.

339

LORD, while for all mankind we pray,

Of every clime and coast, Oh hear us for our native land,

The land we love the most.

2 Oh guard our shore from every foe,

With peace our borders bless, With prosperous times our cities crown, Our fields with plenteousness.

3 Unite us in the sacred love

Of knowledge, truth, and thee ; And let our hills and valleys shout The songs of liberty.

4 Here may religion, pure and mild,

Smile on our Sabbath hours ; And piety and virtue bless The home of us and ours.

5 Lord of the nations, thus to thee

Our country we commend j Be thou her refuge and her trust, Her everlasting friend.

340 THE FEAST.

0 JESUS Christ, the Holy One,

T long to be with thee : 0 Jesus Christ, the lowly One,

Come and abide with me.

2 Now while the symbols of thy love

Before thy saints are set, And thou, descending from above, Their yearning hearts hast met :

3 Come, and o'ershadow with thy power

This lonely heart of mine ; And feed me in this solemn hour

With thine own bread and wine. •4 My " meat indeed," my "drink indeed,"

Art thou, my gracious Lord ; Help thou my soul by faith to feed

On this thy precious word : 5 Till nourished, strengthened, satisfied,

My glad and thankful heart Forgets the things thou hast denied

In those thou dost impart.

341 THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.

0 GLORIOUS Sun of righteousness,

Who on this sacred day Didst o'er the dark domain of death

Thy wondrous power display :

2 Bright Morning Star ! arise and shine,

And pour thy heavenly light, Till all the world with one accord To bless thy name unite.

3 Till darkness and obscurity

Shall flee before thy face, And error's night no more enfold Our frail and dying race.

4 Till every dark and gathering cloud

Shall far away be driven, Which from so many hearts conceals The light and love of heaven.

5 Light of the world ! arise and shine

With healing in thy wings, And to thy universal sway Subdue all earthly things.

6 Oh, make thy light and glory known

In all their radiancy, Until the day of Christ appear, And all shall worship thee.

342 THE LIFE-GIVING SPIRIT.

COME, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove, With all thy quickening powers,

Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours.

2 Look, how we grovel here below,

Fond of these trifling toys ; Our souls can neither fly nor go To reach eternal joys.

3 In vain we tune our formal songs,

In vain we strive to rise ; Hosannas languish on our tongues, And our devotion dies.

4 Dear Lord ! and must we ever be

In this poor dying state 1 Our love so faint, so cold to thee, And thine to us so great !

5 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,

With all thy quickening powers ; Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love, And that shall kindle ours.

IT IS FINISHED.

DONE is the work that saves !

Once and for ever done ! Finished the righteousness

That clothes the unrighteous one ! The love that blesses us below Is flowing freely to us now.

2 The sacrifice is o'er ;

The veil is rent in twain ; Sprinkled the mercy-seat

With blood of victim slain ; Why stand we then without in fear 1 The blood divine invites us near.

3 The gate is open wide,

The new and living way Is clear and free and bright,

With love and peace and day ; Into the holiest now we come, Our present and our endless home.

4 Beside the mercy-seat

The High Priest stands within, The blood is in his hand

Which makes and keeps us clean; With boldness let us now draw near, That blood has banished every fear.

Be glory, praise, and power, Who died and lives again,

Who liveth evermore ; Who loved and washed us in his blend, Who made us kings and priests to God !

344

THE VOYAGE.

JESUS, at thy command I launch into the deep, And leave my native land, Where sin lulls all to sleep ; Eor thee I fain would all resign, And sail to heaven with thee and thine. ■

2 What though the seas are broad 1

What though the waves are strong 1 What though tempestuous winds

Distress me all along 1 Yet what are seas, or stormy wind, Compared to Christ, the sinner's friend 1

3 Thou art my pilot wise,

My compass is thy word ; My soul each storm defies,

While I have such a Lord : I trust thy faithfulness and power, To save me in the trying hour.

4 Whene'er becalmed I lie,

And all my storms subside, Then to my succour fly,

And keep me near thy side ; Ear more the treacherous calm I dread, Than tempests bursting o'er my head.

5 Come, heavenly wind, and blow

A prosperous gale of grace, And waft me from below,

To heaven, my destined place ; Then in full sail my port I'll find, And leave the world and sin behind !

(Sjorpsal.

345 PSALM CX.

JESUS, ascend thy throne,

And all thy foes dismay !

Where'er thy power is shown

Thy people shall obey ;

Thy sovereign hand its grace imparts,

And willing hearts adoring stand.

2 Thy grace disclosed anew

A numerous seed shall yield, As drops of morning dew,

Which glitters o'er the field : Eternal Lord ! Oh ! haste the day, Thy power display, and own thy word.

3 At thy right hand, my God,

I see the Saviour rise, He spreads his power abroad,

Who dares oppose him dies : The Gentile lands shall own his sway, And kings obey his high commands.

346 THE HEAVENLY HIGH PRIEST.

THE atoning work is done !

The Victim's blood is shed ! And Jesus now is gone

His people's cause to plead : He stands in heaven their great High

Priest, And bears their names upon his-breast.

2 He sprinkles with his blood The mercy-seat above ; Eor justice had withstood The purposes of love : But justice now withstands no more, And mercy yields its boundless store.

3 IsTo temple made with hands

His place of service is ; In heaven itself he stands —

A heavenly priesthood his : In him the shadows of the law Are all fulfilled, and now withdraw,

4 And though a while he be

Hid from the eyes of men, His people look to see

Their great High Priest again : In brightest glory he will come, And take his waiting people home.

347

ONE BAPTISM.

OXE true baptismal sign,

One Lord below, above \ Zion, one faith is thine,

One only watchword — Love ; Erom different temples though it rise, One song ascendeth to the skies.

2 Our sacrifice is one ;

One Priest before the throne ; The slain, the risen Son, Eedeemer, Lord, alone ! And sighs from contrite hearts that

spring, Our chief, our choicest offering.

3 Head of the Church beneath,

The catholic, the true, On all thy members breathe,

And daily, Lord, renew ; Oh, may thy perfect will be done, And Christians live and love as one.

PRAISE OF JESUS.

HAIL, thou once despised Jesus,

Hail, thou Galilean King ! Thou didst suffer to release us,

Thou didst free salvation bring : Hail, thou agonizing Saviour,

Bearer of our sin and shame ; By thy merits we find favour ;

Life is given through thy name,

2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,

All our sins were on thee laid ; By Almighty love anointed,

Thou hast fidl atonement made : All thy people are forgiven

Through the virtue of thy blood ; Opened is the gate of heaven ;

Peace is made 'twixt man and God.

3 Jesus, hail ! enthroned in glory,

There for ever to abide ; All the heavenly hosts adore thee,

Seated at thy Father's side. There for sinners thou art pleading ;

There thou dost our place prepare ; Ever for us interceding

Till in glory we appear.

4 Worship, honour, power, and blessing,

Thou art worthy to receive ; Loudest praises, without ceasing,

Meet it is for us to give. Help, ye bright angelic spirits,

Bring your sweetest, noblest lays ; Help to sing our Saviour's merits,

Help to chant Immanuel's praise !

ZION. PSALH LXXXVII.

GLORIOUS tilings of thee are spoken.

Zion, city of our God ! He, whose word cannot be broken,

Formed thee for his own abode : On the Eock of Ages founded,

What can shake thy sure repose 1 With, salvation's walls surrounded,

Thou may'st smile at all thy foes.

2 See ! the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love,

Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove :

Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst to assuage ?

Grace, which, like the Lord, the giver,!

Never fails from a<

e to age.

Eound each habitation hovering,

See the cloud and fire appear ! For a glory and a covering,

Showing that the Lord is near : Thus deriving from their banner

Light by night, and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna

Which he gives them when they pi ay

Blest inhabitants of Zion,

Washed in the Redeemer's blood ! Jesus, whom their souls rely on,

Makes them kings and priests to God 'Tis Ms love his people raises

Over self to reign as kings, And as priests his solemn praises

Each for a thank-offering brings.

350 THE DAY 0F grace-

AS long as life its term extends, Hope's blest dominion never ends ; For while the lamp holds on to "burn, The greatest sinner may return.

! Life is the season God hath given To flee from hell and rise to heaven ; That day of grace fleets fast away, And none its rapid course can stay.

I The living know that they must die \ But all the dead forgotten he : Their memory and their name are gone, Alike unknowing and unknown.

r Their hatred and their love are lpst ; Their envy buried in the dust ; They have no share in all that's done Beneath the circuit of the sun.

» Then what thy thoughts design to do, Still let thy hands with might pursue, Since no device nor work is found, Nor wisdom, underneath the ground.

351 " 0UT 0F THE depths." THE billows swell, the winds are high, Clouds overcast my wintry sky ; Out of the depths to thee I call, My fears are great, my strength is small.

! 0 Lord, the pilot's part perform, And guide and guard me through the

storm ; Defend me from each threatening ill, Control the waves — say " Peace, be still."

\ Amidst the roaring of the sea, My soul still hangs her hope on thee ; Thy constant love, thy faithful care, Is all that saves me from despair.

Dangers of every shape and name Attend the followers of the Lamb, Who leave the world's deceitful shore, And leave it to return no more.

Though tempest-tossed, andhalf a wreck, My Saviour through the floods I seek ; Let neither winds nor stormy main Force back my shattered bark again.

352 H0LY longing.

FOE thee, my God, for thee alone,

My spirit longs with ardent love ; On earth beside thee there is none,

And none but thee in heaven above. Fulfil, 0 God, my heart's desires,

While I look up, look down to bless ; Each holy wish thy grace inspires,

May I in thy deep love possess. My soul cleaves ever to the dust,

But thou canst raise and set it free ; And then in calm and joyful trust

It soars from earth to heaven and thee. Now in this stillness, as the breath

Of prayer steals upward to the skies, 0 give my soul the wings of faith

That it to thee may gladly rise : That breaking through each fleshly link

Which binds its being to the clod, At life's clear well-spring it may drink,

Rejoicing in the smile of God.

DOXOLOGY.

To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, three in one,

Be honour, praise, and glory given By all in earth, and all in heaven.

353 THE PERFECT PATTERN. j

MY dear Redeemer and my Lord, I read my duty in thy word ; But in thy life the law appears Drawn out in living characters.

2 Such was thy truth, and such thy zeal, Such deference to thy Father's will, Such love, and meekness so divine,

I would transcribe, and make them mine.

3 Cold mountains and the midnight air Witnessed the fervour of thy prayer ; The desert thy temptations knew, Thy conflict and thy victory too.

4 Be thou my pattern ; make me bear More of thy gracious image here ; Then God the Judge shall own my name Amongst the followers of the Lamb.

354 THE L0VE 0F CHRIST SHED ABROAD.

COME, dearest Lord, descend and dwell By faith and love in every breast ; Then shall we know, and taste, and feel The joys that cannot be expressed.

2 Come, fill our hearts with inward

strength, Make our enlarged souls possess, And learn the height, and breadth, and Of thine unmeasurable grace, [length

3 Now to the God whose power can do More than our thoughts or wishes know, Be everlasting honours done

By all the Church, through Christ his Son.

355 PSALM LI-

SHOW pity, Lord, 0 Lord, forgive, Let a repenting rebel live : Are not thy mercies large and free ? May not a sinner trust in thee ?

2 My crimes are great, but can't surpass The power and glory of thy grace : Great God, thy nature hath no bound, So let thy pardoning love be found.

3 Oh wash my soul from every sin, And make my guilty conscience clean ; Here on my heart the burden lies, And past offences pain my eyes.

4 My lips with shame my sins confess Against thy law, against thy grace : Lord, should thy judgment grow severe, I am condemned, but thou art clear.

5 Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord, Whose hope, still hovering round thy

word, Would light on some sweet promise there, Some sure support against despair.

356 THE BLESSED HOPE.

WHAT sinners value I resign : Lord, 'tis enough that thou art mine ; I shall behold thy blissful face, And stand complete in righteousness.

2 This life's a dream, an empty shoAV ; But the bright world to which I go Hath joys substantial and sincere : When shall I wake and find me there ?

3 Oh glorious hour ! oh blest abode ! I shall be near and like my God ; And flesh and sin no more control The sacred pleasures of my souL

4 My flesh shall slumber in the ground Till the last trumpet's joyful sound ; Then burst the chains with sweet sur- prise,

And in my Saviour's image rise.

357 BACKSLIDER RETURNING.

COME, let us to the Lord our God

With contrite hearts return ; Our God is gracious, nor will leave

The desolate to mourn. : His voice commands the tempest forth.

And stills the stormy wave ; And though his arm be strong to smite,

"lis also strong to save. : Long hath the night of sorrow reigned

The dawn shall bring us light ; God shall appear, and we shall rise

"With gladness in his sight. Our hearts, if God we seek to know,

Shall know him, and rejoice ; His coming like the morn shall be,

Like morning songs his voice. As dew upon the tender herb

Diffusing fragrance round ; As showers that usher in the spring,

And cheer the thirsty ground : — So shall his presence bless our souls,

And shed a joyful light ; That hallowed morn shall chase away

The sorrows of the night.

358 FREE-WILL OFFERING.

LORD, when our offerings we present

Before thy gracious throne, We but return what thou hast lent,

And give thee of thine own. The earth with all its wealth is thine,

The heavens with all their host ; Why should we then in want repine,

Or in abundance boast ?

3 The power and willingness to give,

Alike proceed from thee ; We still are debtors, since we live Only by thy decree.

4 Ourselves, our all, to thee we owe :

And if we come behind What others of their wealth bestow, Accept our willing mind.

5 0 Lord, our contributions bless

For their appointed end ; And crown with happiest success The cause that we befriend.

359 CLOSE OF DAY.

0 LOED, another day is flown,

And we, a feeble band, Are met once more before thy throne,

To bless thy fostering hand.

2 Thy heavenly grace to each impart ;

All evil far remove ; And shed abroad in every heart Thine everlasting love.

3 Our souls, obedient to thy sway,

'In Christian bonds unite : Let peace and love conclude the day, And hail the morning light.

4 Thus cleansed from sin, and wholly thine,

A flock by Jesus led, The Sun of Righteousness shall shine In glory on our head.

5 Oh still restore our wandering feet,

And still direct our way ; Till earth shall fade and faith shall greet The dawn of endless day.

360 "without carefulness." LORD, it belongs not to my care

Whether I die or live ; To love and serve thee is my share, And this thy grace must give.

2 If life be long, I will be glad

That I may long obey ; If short, yet why should I be sad To soar to endless day %

3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms

Than he went through before ; He that into God's kingdom comes, Must enter by this door.

4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me

Thy blessed face to see ; [meet

For if thy work on earth be sweet, What will thy glory be %

5 Then shall I end my sad complaints,

And weary, sinful days, And join with the triumphant saints That sing Jehovah's praise.

6 My knowledge of that life is small,

The eye of faith is dim ; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all, And I shall be with him.

361 LATTER DATS.

BEHOLD ! the mountain of the Lord

In latter days shall rise On mountain-tops above the hills, And draw the wondering eyes. 2 To this the joyful nations round,

All tribes and tongues, shall flow ; Up to the hill of God, they'll say, And to his house, we'll go. 11*

I The beam that shines from Zion hill

Shall lighten every land ; The King who reigns in Salem's towers

Shall all the world command. : Among the nations he shall judge ;

His judgments truth shall guide ; His sceptre shall protect the just,

And quell the sinner's pride. No strife shall rage, nor hostile feuds

Disturb those peaceful years ; To ploughshares men shall beat their swords,

To pruning-hooks their spears. No longer hosts, encountering hosts,

Shall crowds of slain deplore ; They hang the trumpet in the hall,

And study war no more. Come, then, 0 house of Jacob ! come

To worship at his shrine ; And, walking in the light of God,

With holy beauties shine.

362 RETURN, 0 WANDERER.

RETURN", 0 wanderer, to thy home,

Thy Father calls for thee ; No longer now an exile roam

In guilt and misery.

Return, 0 wanderer, to thy home ;

'Tis Jesus calls for thee ; The Spirit and the Bride say, " Come,"

0, now for refuge flee ! Return, 0 wanderer, to thy home,

'Tis madness to delay ; There are no pardons in the tomb,

And brief is mercy's day !

363 FELLOW-TRAVELLERS.

COME, children, let us go, Our Father is our guide ; And when the way grows steep and dark, He journeys at our side.

2 Our spirits he would cheer ; The sunshine of his love

Revives and helps us as we rove ; Ah ! blest our lot even here.

3 Come, children, let us go, We travel hand in hand,

Each in his brother finds his joy In this wild stranger land.

4 As children let us be, Nor by the way fall out •

0 Father, hold us by thy hand, And keep us brotherly.

5 Friend of our perfect choice, Thou joy of all that live ; [change,

Our God who know'st not chance nor What courage dost thou give !

6 All beauty, Lord, we see, All bliss and life and love,

In him in whom we live and move j And we are glad in thee.

364 A SAVIOUR ASCENDED.

THOU art gone up on high

To mansions in the skies, And round thy throne unceasingly

The songs of praise arise. 2 But we are lingering here

With sin and care oppressed ; Lord ! send thy promised Comforter,

And lead us to thy rest !

3 Thou art gone up on high : But thou didst first come down,

Through earth's most bitter agony To pass unto thy crown :

4 And girt with griefs and fears Our onward course must be :

But only let that path of tears Lead us, at last, to thee !

5 Thou art gone up on high : But thou shalt come again,

With all the bright ones of the sky Attendant in thy train.

6 Oh ! by thy saving power So make us live and die,

That we may stand, in that dread hour, At thy right hand on high !

365

SELF-SURRENDER.

OPPRESSED with sin and woe, A burdened heart I bear j Opposed by many a mighty foe, Yet will I not despair.

2 I feel that I am weak, And prone to every sin ;

But thou who giv'st to those who seek, Wilt give me strength within.

3 I need not fear my foes ; I need not yield to care ;

I need not sink beneath my woes, For thou wilt answer prayer.

4 In my Redeemer's name, I give myself to thee ;

And, all unworthy as I am, My God will welcome me.

366 RESIGNATION.

*MY spirit on thy care, Blest Saviour, I recline ; Thou wilt not leave me in despair, For thou art love divine.

2 In thee I place my trust, On thee I calmly rest ;

1 know thee good, I know thee just,

And count thy choice the best.

3 Whate'er events betide, Thy will they all perform ;

Safe in thy breast my head I hide, ISTor fear the coming storm.

4 Let good or ill befall,

It must be good for me ; Secure of having thee in all, Of having all in thee.

367 MEETING AGAIN.

AND are we yet alive, And see each other's face 1 Glory and praise to Jesus give For his redeeming grace !

2 Preserved by power divine From all the dangers here,

Again in Jesus' praise we join, And in his sight appear.

3 What troubles have we seen, What conflicts have we past,

Fightings without and fears within, Since we assembled last !

4 But out of all the Lord Hath brought us by his love ;

And still he doth his help afford, And hides our life above.

5 Then let us make our boast Of his redeeming power, Which saves us to the uttermost, Till we can sin no more :

G Let us take up the cross, Till we the crown obtain ; And gladly reckon all tilings loss, So we may Jesus gain.

368

CONTINUALLY WITH GOD.

STILL with thee, 0 my God, I would desire to be ; By day, by night, at home, abroad, I would be still with thee :

2 With thee, when dawn comes in, And calls me back to care,

Each day returning to begin With thee, my God, in prayer :

3 With thee, amid the crowd That throngs the busy mart,

To hear thy voice 'mid clamour loud, Speak softly to my heart :

4 With thee, when day is done, And evening calms the mind ;

The setting, as the rising sun, With thee, my heart woidd find :

5 With thee, when darkness brings The signal of repose ;

Calm in the shadow of thy wings, Mine eyelids I would close :

6 With thee, in thee, by faith Abiding, I would be ;

By day, by night, in life, in death, I would be still with thee.

Spirit of life and light and love, Thy heavenly influence give :

Quicken our souls, born from above, In Christ, that we may live.

To our benighted minds reveal

The glories of his grace ; And bring us where no clouds conceal

The brightness of his face.

His love within us shed abroad, Life's ever-springing well ;

Till God in us, and we in God, In love eternal dwell.

369 PERFECTION AND PERMANENCE.

THE roseate hues of early dawn,

The brightness of the day, The crimson of the sunset sky, How fast they fade away ! ! Oh ! for the pearly gates of heaven ! Oh ! for the golden floor ! Oh ! for the Sun of Righteousness That setteth nevermore ! 1 The highest hopes we cherish here, How fast they tire and faint ! How many a spot defiles the robe That wraps an earthly saint ! : Oh ! for a heart that never sins ! Oh ! for a soul washed white ! Oh ! for a voice to praise our King, Nor weary day or night ! > Here, faith is ours, and heavenly hope, And grace to lead us higher : But there, are perfectness and peace Beyond our best desire. 5 Oh ! by thy love and anguish, Lord ! Oh ! by thy life laid down ! Oh ! that we fall not from thy grace, Nor cast away our crown !

370 FOR LIGHT AND LOVE.

ENTHRONED on high, Almighty

The Holy Ghost send down ; [Lord, Fulfil in us thy faithful word,

And all thy mercies crown. I Though on our heads no tongues of fire

Their wondrous powers impart, Grant, Saviour, what we more desire,

Thy Spirit in our heart.

THE GLORY OF THE FATHER.

371

0 GOD, we praise thee, and confess

That thou the only Lord And everlasting Eather art,

By aLHhe earth adored.

I To thee all angels cry aloud ; To thee the powers on high, Both cherubim and seraphim, Continually do cry —

\ 0 holy, holy, holy, Lord,

Whom heavenly hosts obey, The world is with the glory rilled Of thy majestic sway.

The apostles' glorious company, And prophets crowned with light,

With all the martyrs' noble host, Thy constant praise recite.

The holy Church throughout the world,

0 Lord, confesses thee, That thou, the eternal Eather, art

( )f boundless majesty.

372 the dat °f rest-

MY Lord, my Life, was crucified,

He all the pains did bear ; But in the sweetness of his rest He makes his servants share. ! How sweetly rest thy saints above, Who in thy bosom lie ! The Church below doth rest in hope Of that felicity. \ Thou, Lord, who daily feed'st thy sheep, Mak'st them a weekly feast ; Thy flocks meet in their several folds IJpon this day of rest. [ Welcome and dear unto my soul Are these sweet feasts of love : But what a sabbath shall I keep When I shall rest above ! ) I bless thy wise and wondrous love, Which binds us to be free ; Which makes us leave our earthly snares, That we may come to thee. 3 I come, I wait, I hear, I pray ; Thy footsteps, Lord, I trace : I sing to think this is the way Unto my Saviour's face.

373 THE VOICE OF JESUS.

I HEARD the voice of Jesus say,

" Come unto me and rest ; Lay down, thou weary one, lay down

Thy head upon my breast ! " 2 I came to Jesus as I was,

Weary, and worn, and sad ; I found in him a resting-place,

And he has made me glad.

1 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, " Behold ! I freely give The living water ; thirsty one,

Stoop down, and drink, and live ! "

I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream ;

My thirst was quenched, my soul re- And now I live in him. [vived,

I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world's light ;

Look unto me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright."

I looked to Jesus, and I found

In him my star, my sun ; And in that light of life I'll walk

Till travelling days are done.

CHRIST REMEMBERED.

374

IF human kindness meets return, And owns the grateful tie ;

If tender thoughts within us burn, To feel a friend is nigh ;

! Oh shall not warmer accents tell The gratitude we owe To him, who died our fears to quell, Our more than orphan's woe %

\ While yet in anguish he surveyed Those pangs he would not flee ; What love his latest words displayed, Meet, and remember me !

: Remember thee ! thy death, thy shame, Our sinful hearts to share ! 0 memory ! leave no other name Than his recorded there.

The land thy tread, Lord, knoweth well ; Our human nature brings thanks- givings,

" Blessed is the King who came."

ST"? THE pilgrim's guide.

JESUS, guide our way

To eternal day. So shall we, no more delaying, Follow thee, thy voice obeying :

Lead us by thy hand

To our Father's land.

2 If the way be drear, If the foe be near,

Let not faithless fears o'ertake us, Let not faith and hope forsake us :

Through adversity

Lies our way to thee.

3 When the heart must know Pain for others' woe ;

When oppressed by new temptations, Lord, increase our perfect patience : Show us that bright shore Where we weep no more.

4 Thus our path shall be Daily traced by thee ;

Heavenly Leader, still direct us, Still support, console, protect us,

Till we safely stand

In our Father's land.

378 ADORATION.

FATHEE, who on high Keignest in majesty ! While the hosts of heaven adore thee, We with awe fall down before thee, And with rapture raise Songs of love and praise, 2 0 eternal Word,

Our incarnate Lord,

We to thee thanksgiving render, Thee thy church's strong defender,

And as monarch own

JSone but thee alone. 3 0 thou Spirit of grace,

Source of righteousness, Who the Saviour's sceptre wieldest, And from Satan's vengeance shieldest,

Thine, beneath thy wing,

We thy praises sing. •4 Had we angels' tongues,

With seraphic songs, Bowing hearts and knees before thee, Triune God, we would adore thee

In the highest strain

For the Lamb once slain.

3^9 THE FORERUNNER.

SAVIOUB, from on high,

All we want supply. We are weak : our path is dreary ; Thou hast comfort for the weary ;

Send us help, we pray,

Lest we go astray.

2 When the cloud we see Which encircles thee,

Then we know that thou art near us, And, whene'er we call, dost hear us.

We in thee confide ;

Be thou still our Guide.

3 Hungry, sick, and faint, Hear each sad complaint ;

Then with food convenient feed us, By thy healing Spirit lead us,

Till we safe shall come

To our heavenly home.

380 LOOKING UNTO JESUS.

BEHOLD what witnesses unseen

Encompass us around ! Men, once like us, with suffering tried,

But now with glory crowned.

2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspired,

Pursue the Christian race, And, freed from each encumbering Their holy footsteps trace, [weight,

3 Behold a witness nobler still !

AVho trod affliction's path, Jesus, at once the finisher And author of our faith.

4 He for the joy before him set,

So generous was his love, Endured the cross, despised the shame, And now he reigns above.

5 If he the scorn of wicked men

With patience did sustain, Becomes it those for whom he died

To murmur or complain 1 G Then let our hearts no more despond,

Our hands be weak no more ; Still let us trust our Father's love,

His wisdom still adore.

381 THB LIVELY HOPE.

BLESS'D be the everlasting God,

The Father of our Lord ; Be his abounding mercy praised,

J lis majesty adored. 2 When from the dead he raised his Son,

And called him to the sky, He gave our souls a lively hope

That they should never die.

To an"inheritance divine

He taught our hearts to rise ;

'Tis uncorrupted, undented, Unfading in the skies.

Saints by the power of God are kept

Till the salvation come : AYe walk by faith as strangers here ;

But Christ shall call us home.

THE HOUSE ETERNAL.

382

SOOjST shall this earthly frame, dis- In death and ruins lie ; [solved,

But better mansions wait the just, Prepared above the sky.

2 A house eternal, built by God,

Shall lodge the holy mind, "When once those prison-walls have fallen By which 'tis now confined.

3 Hence, burdened with a weight of clay,

"We groan beneath the load, "Waiting the hour which sets us free, And brings us home to God.

1 We know that when the soul, unclothed, Shall from this body fly, 'Twill animate a purer frame With life that cannot die.

5 What faith rejoices to believe

"We long and pant to see ; AVe would be absent from the flesh, And present, Lord, with thee.

6 But still, or here, or going hence,

To this our labours tend, That, in his service spent, our life May in his favour end.

COMFORT IN SICKNESS.

WHEN languor and disease invade

This trembling house of clay, Tis sweet to look beyond the cage,

And long to fly away. Sweet to look inward, and attend

The whispers of His love ; Sweet to look upward to the place

Where Jesus pleads above.

Sweet to reflect, how grace divine

My sins on Jesus laid ; Sweet to remember, that his blood

My debt of sufferings paid. Sweet on his righteousness to stand

Which saves from second death ; Sweet to experience, day by day,

His Spirit's quickening breath.

Sweet on his faithfulness to rest,

Whose love can never end ; Sweet on his covenant of grace

For all things to depend. Sweet in the confidence of faith,

To trust his firm decrees ; Sweet to lie passive in his hand,

And know no will but his.

4 Sweet to rejoice in lively hope,

That, when my change shall come, Angels will hover round my bed,

And waft my spirit home. If such the sweetness of the stream,

What must the fountain be, Where saints and angels draw their bliss

Immediately from thee !

384 THE spirit's witness.

WHY should the children of a King

Go mourning all their days 1 Great Comforter, descend and bring

Some tokens of thy grace. Dost thou not dwell in all the saints,

And seal them heirs of heaven 1 When wilt thou banish my complaints,

And show my sins forgiven 1

2 Assure my conscience of her part

In the Eedeemer's blood ; And bear thy witness with my heart,

That I am born of God. Thou art the earnest of his love,

The pledge of joys to come ; And thy soft wings, celestial Dove,

Will safe convey me home.

386 "thy kingdom come."

O'ER the gloomy hills of darkness, Look, my soul, be still and gaze ;

All the promises do travail "With a glorious day of grace :

Blessed jubilee, Let the glorious morning dawn.

2 Let the Indian, let the negro,

Let the rude barbarian see That divine and glorious conquest Once obtained on Calvary :

Let the gospel Loud resound from pole to pole.

3 Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness,

Grant them, Lord, thy glorious light, And from eastern coast to western Let the morning chase the night,

And redemption, Freely purchased, win the day.

4 Ride abroad, thou mighty Saviour,

Win and conquer, never cease ; May thy lasting, wide dominion Multiply, and still increase :

Sway thy sceptre, Saviour, all the world around.

385 C0ME AND WELCOME.

C0]\1E, ye sinners, poor and wretched, Weak and wounded, sick and sore ;

Jesus ready stands to save you, Lull of pity joined with power.

He is able ; He is willing ; doubt no more.

2 Come, ye weary, heavy laden,

Bruised and broken by the fall ; If you tarry till you're better, You will never come at all.

Not the righteous, Sinners Jesus came to call.

3 Let not conscience make you linger,

Nor of fitness fondly dream, All the fitness he requireth Is to feel your need of him ;

This he gives you, 'Tis the Spirit's rising beam.

4 Lo ! the incarnate God, ascended,

Pleads the merit of his blood. Venture on him, venture wholly, Let no other trust intrude :

None but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good.

LEAD us, heavenly Father, lead us O'er the world's tempestuous sea ;

Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us, For we have no help but thee ;

Yet possessing every blessing, If our God our Father be.

2 Saviour, breathe forgiveness o'er us ;

All our weakness thou dost know ; Thou didst tread this earth before us,

Thou didst feel its keenest woe \ Lone and dreary, faint and weary,

Through the desert thou didst go.

3 Spirit of our God, descending,

Fill our hearts with heavenly joy ; Love with every passion blending,

Pleasure that can never cloy : Thus provided, pardoned, guided,

Nothing can our peace destroy.

388 DISMISSION.

LORD, dismiss us with thy blessing, Fill our hearts with joy and peace ;

Let us each, thy love possessing, Triumph in redeeming grace ;

Oh refresh us, Travelling through this wilderness.

2 Thanks we give, and adoration, For thy gospel's joyful sound ; May the fruits of thy salvation In our hearts and lives abound ;

May thy presence With us evermore be found.

► So, whene'er the signal's given Us from earth to call away, Borne on angels' wings to heaven, Glad the summons to obey,

May we ever Reign with Christ in endless day.

389 DISMISSION AFTER COMMUNION.

NOW in parting, Father, bless us, Saviour, still thy peace bestow ;

Gracious Comforter, be with us, As we from this table go !

Bless us, bless us, Father, Son, and Spirit now !

! Bless us here, while still as strangers Onward to our home we move ; Bless us with eternal blessings In our Father's house above.

Ever, ever, Dwelling in the light of love !

EVERLASTING LOVE.

390

'TWAS thy love, 0 God, that knew us Earth's foundations long before :

That same love to Jesus drew us, By its sweet constraining power,

And will keep us Safely, now and evermore.

! God of love, our souls adore thee ! We would still thy grace proclaim, Till we cast our crowns before thee, And in glory praise thy name :

Hallelujah Be to God and to the Lamb !

ETERNAL Light ! eternal Light !

How pure the soul must be, "When, placed within thy searching sight. It shrinks not, hut with calm delight

Can live, and look on thee !

! The spirits that surround thy throne May hear the burning bliss ; But that is surely theirs alone, Since they have never, never known A fallen world like this.

> 0 ! how shall I, whose native sphere Is dark, whose mind is dim, Before the Ineffable appear, And on my naked spirit bear That uncreated beam 1

: There is a way for man to rise

To that sublime abode : — An offering and a sacrilice, A holy Spirit's energies,

An advocate with God : —

i These, these prepare us for the sight

Of holiness above : The sons of ignorance and night May dwell in the Eternal Light,

Through the Eternal Love !

392 ONENESS WITH CHRIST.

OH Saviour, where shall guilty man

Eind rest except in thee 1 Thine was the warfare with his foe, The cross of pain, the cup of woe,

And thine the victory.

2 How came the everlasting Son,

The Lord of life, to die ? Why didst thou yield to Satan's power, Why, Jesus, in thy dying hour,

Endure such agony 7

3 To save us by thy precious blood,

To make us one in thee, That ours might be thy perfect life, Thy thorny crown, thy cross, thy strife,

And ours the victory.

4 0 make us worthy, gracious Lord,

Of all thy love to be ; To thy blest will our wills incline, That unto death we may be thine,

And ever live to thee,

DOXOLOGY.

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

The God whom we adore, Be glory, as in ages past, As now it is, and so shall last

When time shall be no more.

Praise to his name be given : Let earth, let heaven's angelic hosts, Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

Jesus, thou tried foundation-stone, To whose prevailing blood alone

Thy saints look for salvation ; My robe thou art, I know thy grace And triumph in thy righteousness,

Made mine by imputation.

By thy free grace till now upheld, My future hopes on thee I build,

JSTor are my hopes ill-grounded : Stronger than Satan Jesus is, Sin shall not always wound my peace,

Nor finally subdue me.

"Who washed me from its deadly stain Hath here cut short its guilty reign,

And spoiled it of dominion : On Jesus I for strength depend : Omnipotent, all-gracious Friend,

Prepare my way before me.

SIXXEKS Jesus will receive.

Say this word of grace to all Who the heavenly pathway leave,

All who linger, all who fall ! — This can bring them back again, — Christ receiveth sinful men.

Shepherds seek their wandering sheep O'er the mountains bleak and cold ;

Jesus such a watch doth keep O'er the lost ones of his fold,

Seeking them o'er moor and fen :

Christ receiveth sinful men.

i Sick, and sorrowful, and blind, I with all my sins draw nigh ; 0 my Saviour, thou canst find

Help for sinners such as I. Speak that word of love again : Christ receiveth sinful men.

: Yea, my soul is comforted,

For thy blood hath washed away

All my sins, though crimson-red, And I stand in white array,

Purged from every spot and stain :

Christ receiveth sinful men.

Christ receiveth sinful men — ■ Even me with all my sin ;

Openeth to me heaven again, With him I may enter in.

Death hath no more sting nor pain,

Christ receiveth sinful men.

We will joy in him alone. Our captivity, 0 Lord,

With his seed, shall yet return In the gladness of his heart,

With his sheaves of harvest coi n.

397 D0CILITY AND DEPENDENCE.

QUIET, Lord, my froward heart, Make me teachable and mild,

Upright, simple, free from art, Make me as a weaned child :

Prom distrust and envy free,

Pleased with all that pleases thee.

! "What thou shalt to-day provide, Let me as a child receive ; "What to-morrow may betide,

Calmly to thy wisdom leave ; "lis enough that thou wilt care, Why should I the burden bear %

) As a little child relies

On a care beyond his own ; Knows he's neither strong nor wise ;

Pears to stir a step alone : Let me thus with thee abide, As my Father, Guard, and Guide.

i Thus preserved from Satan's wiles, Safe from dangers, free from fears, May I live upon thy smiles,

Till the promised hour appears, When the sons of God shall prove All their Father's boundless love. 12

398 GETHSEMANE.

JESUS, while he dwelt below,

As divine historians say, To a place would often go ;

Near to Kedron's brook it lay. In this place he loved to be, And 'twas named Gethsemane.

! Oh, what wonders love has done !

But how little understood ! God well knows, and God alone,

What produced that sweat of blood. Who can thy deep wonders see, Wonderful Gethsemane?

> There my God bore all my guilt :

This through grace can be believed ; But the horrors which he felt

Are too vast to be conceived. None can penetrate through thee, Doleful, dark Gethsemane !

[ Saviour, all the stone remove Prom my flinty, frozen heart ;

Thaw it with the beams of love, Pierce it with the blood dipt dart !

Wound the heart that wounded thee ;

Melt it in Gethsemane.

Whence all their white array 1 How came they to the blissful seats

Of everlasting day ? Lo ! these are they from sufferings great,

Who came to realms of light, And in the blood of Christ have washed

Those robes which shine so bright.

\ Now, with triumphal palms, they stand

Before the throne on high, And serve the God they love, amidst

The glories of the sky. His presence fills each heart with joy,

Tunes every mouth to sing : By day, by night, the sacred courts

With glad hosannas ring.

\ The Lamb which dwells amidst the Shall o'er them still preside ; [throne Feed them with nourishment divine,

And all their footsteps guide. 'Mong pastures green he'll lead his flock, Where living streams appear; And God the Lord from every eye Shall wipe off every tear.

400 Christ's victory.

HOSANNA to the Prince of light,

That clothed himself in clay ; Entered the iron gates of death,

And tore the bars away. Death is no more the king of dread

Since our Immanuel rose ; He took the tyrant's sting away,

And spoiled our cruel fees.

See how the Conqueror mounts aloft,

And to his Father flies, From finished work on earth to wake

The rapture of the skies. There our exalted Saviour reigns,

And scatters blessings down ; The head once wreathed with cruel thorns

Now wears the victor's crown.

i Raise your devotion, mortal tongues,

To reach his blessed abode, Sweet be the accents of your songs

To our incarnate God. Bright angels, strike your loudest strings,

Your sweetest voices raise, Let heaven and all created things

Sound our Immanuel's praise.

401 PRAISE TO THE REDEEMER.

OH for a thousand tongues to sing

My great Kedeemer's praise ! The glories of my God and King,

The triumphs of his grace ! My gracious Master, and my God,

Assist me to proclaim, To spread through all the earth abroad The honours of thy name. I Jesus ! the name that charms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease ; 'Tis music in the sinner's ears, 'Tis life, and health, and peace. : He breaks the power of cancelled sin, He sets the prisoner free ; His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood avails for me. > He speaks, — and, listening to his voice, jNew life the dead receive ; The mournful, broken hearts rejoice ; The humble poor believe. ) Hear him, ye deaf ; his praise, ye dumb, Your loosened tongues employ ; Ye blind, behold your Saviour come, And leap, ye lame, for joy. r Look unto him, ye nations ; own Your God, ye fallen race ; Look, and be saved through faith alone, Be justified by grace.

402 CHILDREN BROUGHT TO CHRIST.

SEE, Israel's gentle Shepherd stands, With all-engaging charms :

Hark ! how he calls the tender lambs, And folds them in Iris arms. 12*

2 Permit them to approach, he cries,

Nor scorn their humble name ; For 'twas to bless such souls as these The Lord of angels came.

3 Invited by the voice divine,

We bring them, Lord, to thee ; Joyful that we ourselves are thine : Thine let our offspring be.

4 If orphans they are left behind,

Thy guardian care we trust : That care shall heal our bleeding hearts, If weeping o'er their dust.

HEAVENLY WISDOM.

403

OH happy is the man who hears Instruction's warning voice ;

And who celestial wisdom makes His early, only choice.

! Eor she has treasures greater far Than east or west unfold ; And her rewards more precious are Than all their stores of gold.

> In her right hand she holds to view

A length of happy days ; Eiches, with splendid honours joined, Are what her left displays.

t She guides the young with innocence In pleasure's paths to tread, A crown of glory she bestows Upon the hoary head.

> According as her labours rise,

So her rewards increase ; Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.

404 INVOCATION.

JESUS, we look to thee, Thy promised presence claim ! Thou in the midst of us shalt he, Assemhled in thy name.

2 Thy name salvation is,

Which now we come to prove :

Thy name is life, and health, and peace, And everlasting love.

\ Present we know thou art, —

But, oh, thyself reveal ; Now, Lord, let every waiting heart

The mighty comfort feel.

REJOICE, rejoice, believers, And let your lights appear ;

The evening is advancing, The darker night is near.

The Bridegroom is arising,

And soon he will draw nigh : Up ! watch, and pray, and wrestle

At midnight comes the cry. See that your lamps are burning,

Replenish them with oil,

BRIDEGROOM COMETH.

Look now for your salvation,

The end of sin and toil. [ Our hope and expectation,

0 Jesus, now appear, Arise, thou Sun so looked for,

O'er this benighted sphere : > With 1 muds and hearts uplifted,

We plead, O Lord, to see The day of our redemption,

And ever be with thee !

NEAKEK, my God, to thee,

Hearer to thee ! E'en though it be a cross

That raiseth me ; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee !

2 Though like the wanderer,

The sun gone down, Darkness be over me,

My rest a stone ; Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee !

3 There let the way appear

Steps unto heaven ; All that thou send'st to me

In mercy given ; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee !

4 Then with my waking thoughts

Bright with thy praise, Out of my stony griefs

Bethels I'll raise ; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee !

5 Or if on joyful wing

Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot,

Upwards I fly, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to thee,

Nearer to thee !

407 CONFESSION.

NO ; not despairingly

Come I to thee ! No ; not distrustingly

Bend I the knee ! Sin hath gone over me, Yet is this still my plea,

Jesus hath died.

2 Ah, mine iniquity

Crimson hath been ; Infinite, infinite,

Sin upon sin ; — Sin of not loving thee, Sin of not trusting thee ; —

Infinite sin.

3 Lord, I confess to thee

Sadly my sin ; All I am, tell I thee ;

All I have been! Purge thou my sin away, Wash thou my soul this day,

Lord, make me clean !

4 Faithful and just art thou

Forgiving all ; Loving and kind art thou

When poor ones call ; Lord, 'let the cleansing blood, Blood of the Lamb of God,

Pass o'er my soul !

5 Then all is peace and light

This soul within ; Thus shall I walk with thee,

The loved unseen ; Leaning on thee, my God, Guided along the road,

Nothing between !

408 THE SAVIOUR AND THE SUPPLIANT.

COME, my soul, thy suit prepare, Jesus loves to answer prayer ; He himself has bid thee pray, Therefore will not say thee nay.

2 Thou art coming to a King, Large petitions with thee bring ; For his grace and power are such, None can ever ask too much.

3 With my burden I begin, Lord, remove this load of sin ! Let thy blood for sinners spilt Set my conscience free from guilt.

4 Lord ! I come to thee for rest, Take possession of my breast ;

There thy blood-bought right maintain, And without a rival reign.

5 As the image in the glass Answers the beholder's face ; Thus unto my heart appear, Print thine own resemblance there.

6 While I am a pilgrim here Let thy love my spirit cheer ;

As my guide, my guard, my friend, Lead me to my journey's end.

409 "T0 L1VE IS CHRIST." CHRIST, of all my hopes the ground, Christ, the spring of all my joy ! Still in thee let me be found, Still for thee my powers employ. 2 Let thy love my heart inflame Keep thy fear before my sight Be thy praise my highest aim Be thy smile my chief delight.

Fountain of o'erflowing grace ! Freely from thy fidness give : Till I close my earthly race, Be it " Christ for me to live ! "

: Firmly trusting in thy blood, Nothing shall my heart confound ; Safely I shall pass the flood, Safely reach Immanuei's ground.

i When I touch the blessed shore, Back the closing waves shall roll ; Death's dark stream shall never more Part from thee my ransomed soul.

I Thus, oh ! thus, an entrance give To the land of cloudless sky ; Having known it " Christ to live," Let me know it " gain to die."

410 THE COMFORTER.

GRACIOUS Spirit, Love divine, Let thy light around us shine : All our guilty fears remove, Fill us with thy peace and love.

5 Healing to the contrite give, Bid the wounded sinner live : Lead us to the Lamb of God, Wash us in his precious blood.

\ Earnest thou of heavenly rest, Comfort every troubled breast : Life and joy and peace impart, Sanctifying every heart.

t Guardian Spirit, lest we stray, Keep us in the heavenly way; Bring us to the courts above, Realms of light and endless love.

CHRIST S VICTORY.

CEOWNS of glory ever bright Rest upon the Victor's head : Crowns of glory are his right, His who liveth and was dead. Jesus fought and won the day ; Such a day was never fought ; "Well his people now may say, See what God, our God, has wrought.

2 He subdued the powers of hell ; In the fight he stood alone ; All his foes before him fell,

By his single arm o'erthrown. They have fallen to rise no more ; Final is the foe's defeat ; Jesus triumphed by his power, And his triumph is complete.

3 His the fight, the arduous toil, His the honour of the day, His the glory and the spoil, Jesus bears them all away. Now proclaim his deeds afar, Fill the world with his renown : His alone the victor's car,

His the everlasting crown.

412 LIGHT, COMFORT, SANCTITY.

HOLY Spirit ! source of light, Beam upon our nature's night ; Make my doubts and darkness flee, Clearly let me Jesus see. Holy Spirit ! fount of love, Breathe upon me from above ; Warm this cold ungrateful heart, Bid its selfishness depart. Holy Spirit ! Lord of life, Make me victor in the strife, Over Satan, death, and hell, — Fit me thus in heaven to dwell. Praises then I'll ever sing Unto Christ my Saviour King, To the Father and to thee Praise I'll sing eternally.

413 HALLELUJAH.

HALLELUJAH ! joyful raise Heart and voice our God to praise ! Praise the Father ! praise the Son ! Praise the Spirit ! Three in One ! One to perfect all the plan Of redeeming ruined man ! Triune God ! to thee be given Praise on earth and praise in heaven !

414 PRAISE.

GLORY to God whose love lias given, In Christ his Son, the Life of heaven ; Who for our darkness gives us light, And turns to day our deepest night.

2 All praise to him, in grace who came To hear our woe, and sin, and shame ; Who lived to die, who died to rise, The God-accepted sacrifice.

3 Praises to him the chain who hroke, Opened the prison, burst the yoke, Sent forth its captives, glad and free, Heirs of an endless liberty.

4 Praises to him who sheds abroad Within our hearts the love of God ; The Spirit of all truth and peace, Fountain of joy and holiness !

5 To Father, Son, and Spirit, now

The hands we lift, the knees we bow ; To Jah-Jehovah thus we raise The sinner's endless song of praise.

415 TIIE SAVIOUR.

JESUS, the Christ, Eternal Word ! Of all creation, Sovereign Lord ! On thee alone by faith we rest, And lean in weakness on thy breast.

2 Thy blood has washed us from our sin, Thy Spirit sanctifies within ;

And thou for us, in all our need, At God's right hand dost ever plead.

3 Oh ! keep us hi the narrow way, That ne'er from thee our feet may stray j Sustain our weakness, calm our fear, And to thy presence keep us near.

416 CHRIST ALL IN ALL.

JESUS, thou joy of loving hearts ! Thou Fount of life ! thou light of men ! From the best bliss that earth imparts, We turn unfilled to thee again.

2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood ; Thou savest those that on thee call ; To them that seek thee, thou art good, To them that find thee, all in all !

3 Our restless spirits yearn for thee, Where'er our changeful lot is cast ; Glad, when thy gracious smile we see, Blest, when our faith can hold thee fast.

4 0 Jesus, ever with us stay,

Make all our moments calm and bright, Chase the dark night of sin away, Shed o'er the World thy holy light !

41 7" BROTHERLY LOVE.

0 LORD, how joyful 'tis to see The brethren join in love to thee ! On thee alone their heart relies, Their only strength thy grace supplies.

2 Oh may we love the house of God, Of peace and joy the blest abode ! Oh may no angry strife destroy That sacred peace, that holy joy !

3 The world without may rage, but we Will only cling more close to thee, With hearts to thee more closely given, More weaned from earth, more fixed on

heaven.

4 Lord, shower upon us from above The sacred gift of mutual love j May we each other's wants supply, And reign together in the sky.

Cgpms.

418 PSALM XLVI.

LET Zion in her King rejoice, Though tyrants rage and kingdoms rise ; He utters his almighty voice, The nations melt, the tumult dies.

2 The Lord of old for Jacob fought, And Jacob's God is still our aid ; Behold the works his hand has wrought, What desolations he has made !

3 From sea to sea, through all the shores, He makes the noise of battle cease ; "When from on high his thunder roars, He awes the trembling world to peace.

4 He breaks the bow, he cuts the spear, Chariots he burns with heavenly flame : Keep silence, all the earth, and hear The sound and glory of his name.

5 "Be still, and learn that I am God, I'll be exalted o'er the lands,

I will be known and feared abroad, But still my throne in Zion stands."

6 0 Lord of hosts, almighty King, While we so near thy presence dwell, Our faith shall sit secure, and sing Defiance to the gates of hell.

419 "AWAKE ! O ARM OF THE LORD."

ARM! of the Lord ! awake, awake ! Put on thy strength ! the nations shake ; And let the world, adoring, see Triumphs of mercy wrought by thee.

2 Say to the heathen, from thy throne, "lam Jehovah, God alone : "

Thy voice their idols shall confound, And cast their altars to the ground.

3 Let Zion's time of favour come :

0 bring the tribes of Israel home ! And let our wondering eyes behold Gentiles and Jews in Jesus' fold.

4 Almighty God, thy grace proclaim ; Exalt the Saviour's glorious name ; Let every foe before him fall, Confessed, adored, the Lord of all.

420 Christ's second coming.

THE Lord will come ! the earth shall

quake, The hills their fixed seat forsake ; And, withering, from the vault of night. The stars withdraw their feeble light.

2 The Lord will come ! but not the same As once in lowly form he came ;

A silent Lamb to slaughter led,

The bruised, the suffering, and the dead.

3 The Lord will come ! a dreadful form, With wreath of flame, and robe of storm, On cherub wings, and wings of wind, Anointed Judge of humankind.

Can this be he who wont to stray A pilgrim on the world's highway, By power oppressed, and mocked by The JNazarene, the Crucified 1 [pride,

Go, tyrants ! to the rocks complain, Go, seek the mountain's cleft in vain ; But faith, victorious o'er the tomb, Shall sing for joy — the Lord is come !

THE DELIVERER.

COME, oh. come, thou King of glory, Take us from our prison-house ;

Purge and heal the wounded conscience, Perfect pardon seal to us.

Hallelujah, King of glory, visit us !

2 In iniquity conceived,

Born in sin, estranged from thee, Ours has been a life of bondage ; — Thou hast bought and set us free.

Hallelujah, Let us chant our jubilee !

3 Give us, of thy fulness give us,

Fountain of all holiness ! Give us, Lord, the purged conscience, Posting calmly on thy grace.

Hallelujah, In thyself us freely bless !•

4 King of glorj, every shadow

Take from between us and thee ; In thy love, 0 King of glory, Let us rest eternally.

Hallelujah, Let these hearts repose in thee !

5 King of glory, take the blindness

Of our sinful souls away, — Error, ignorance, and folly, — That no more our feet may stra}'.

Hallelujah, Let thy wisdom in us stay !

6 Cure in us the love of sinning,

Every weakness from us take, This world's iron yoke of evil, Break, 0 King of glory, break.

Hallelujah, Like thyself us, Saviour, make !

7 Sloth and pride and darkness banish,

Us with light and meekness fill ; Fineness give, and love, the fairest, Brightest of the graces still.

Hallelujah, Reign thou in our heart and will !

8 King of glory, let us love thee,

Love thee with a childlike heart, Thine it is alone, to give us Love that never shall depart.

Hallelujah, Thou our Kins and Saviour art.

Enmxnxm.

4:2i2i SOVEREIGN GRACE.

SOVEREIGN grace ! o'er sin abound- ing, Ransomed souls the tidings swell ; 'Tis a deep that knows no sounding — Who its breadth or length can tell?

On its glories Let my soul for ever dwell ! What from Christ the soul can sever,

Bound by everlasting bands 1 Once in him, in him for ever,

Thus the eternal covenant stands ;

None shall pluck thee From the Strength of Israel's hands. ; Heirs of God, joint-heirs with Jesus, Long ere time its race began, To his name eternal praises !

Oh what wonders love hath done !

One with Jesus, By eternal union One. : On such love, my soul, still ponder, Love so great, so rich, so free ; Say, while lost in holy wonder, — Why, 0 Lord, such love to me ?

Hallelujah ! Grace shall reign eternally.

423 DIVINE PROTECTION.

HAPPY they who trust in Jesus, Sweet their portion is and sure, When the foe on others seizes, He will keep his own secure ;

Happy people ! Happy, though despised and poor. Since his love and mercy found you,

Ye are precious in his sight ; Thousands now may fall around you, Thousands more be put to flight ;

But his presence Keeps you safe by day and night. ' Lo ! your Saviour never slumbers, Ever watchful is his care, Though ye cannot boast of numbers, In his strength secure ye are ;

Sweet their portion Who our Saviour's kindness share. : As the bird beneath her feathers Guards the objects of her care, So the Lord his children gathers, Spreads his wings, and hides them there ;

Thus protected, All their foes they boldly dare.

42/ PSALM CXXI.

UNTO th' eternal hills

I will lift up mine eyes ; From whence alone, I know, Doth all my help arise. My help is from Jehovah given, From him who made the earth and heaven.

2 Thy foot he'll ever hold,

It shall not moved be. He never slumber will

The God who keepeth thee. Lo, he that doth his Israel keep He neither slumber shall nor sleep.

3 Jehovah keepeth thee !

And upon thy right hand Jehovah, as thy shade

Doth ever, ever stand. The sun by day thee shall not smite, Nor hurt thee shall the moon by night.

4 From all of evil here

Jehovah keepeth thee : , He shall thy soul still keep ; Jehovah keep shall he Thy goings all, as heretofore, From this time forth and evermore.

428 APPEARING BEFORE GOD.

FATHEE, to seek thy face

Thy children now draw near, Before the throne of grace "With boldness we appear ; We plead his name, his precious blood, Who loved, and made us priests to God.

No more we shun the light,

No more thy presence fear ; In robes of spotless white Before thee we appear ; Our sacrifice, our Priest, is there, And he presents our praise and prayer.

No power have we to praise

Thy name, 0 God of Love, Unless thy Spirit raise

Our thoughts and hearts above ; His holy oil anoints our head, May he our priestly worship lead !

Give us strong faith to plead

Thy true and faithful word : — Grace for each time of need, And help thou wilt afford ; Thy promises in Christ are yea, Amen ! Amen ! Thy children say.

429

DOXOLOGY.

TO him that chose us first, Before the world began ; To him that bore the curse, To save rebellious man ; To him that formed our hearts anew \ Are endless praise and glory due.

Let every saint above,

And angel round the throne, For ever bless and love The sacred Three in One ; Thus heaven shall raise his glories high, Him all shall praise eternally.

REST IN CHRIST.

COME, ye souls by sin afflicted, Bowed with fruitless sorrow down ;

By the broken law convicted,

Through the cross behold the crown !

Look to Jesus ! Mercy flows through him alone.

Take his easy yoke and wear it ;

Love will make obedience sweet ; Christ will give you strength to bear it,

While his wisdom guides your feet Safe to glory,

Where his ransomed captives meet.

Blessed are the eyes that see him, Blessed the ears that hear his voice ;

Blessed are the souls that trust him, And in him alone rejoice :

His commandments Then become their happy choice.

Sweet as home to pilgrims weary, — Light to newly opened eyes,

Flowing springs in deserts dreary,— Is the rest the Cross supplies ;

All who taste it Shall to rest immortal rise.

431 THE S0LEMN ASSEMBLY.

IN thy name, 0 Lord, assembling, We thy people now draw near ;

Teach us to rejoice with trembling, Speak, and let thy servants hear ;

Hear with meekness ; Hear thy word with godly fear.

While our days on earth are lengthened, May we give them, Lord, to thee ;

Cheered by hope, and daily strengthened, May we run, nor weary be ;

Till thy glory Without cloud in heaven we sea

There, in worship, purer, sweeter, All thy people shall adore ;

Tasting of enjoyment greater

Than they could conceive before :

Full enjoyment ; Full, unmixed, for evermore.

DOXOLOGY.

Glory be to God the Father, For the message of his Son :

Glory be to the Beloved

For the work that he hath done :

May tbc Spirit Seal salvation in our hearts.

Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, Who like thee his praise should sing %

Well our feeble frame he knows ; In his hands he gently bears us, Rescues us from all our foes. Praise him, praise him, Widely as his mercy flows.

When our hearts are bowed with care ; Jesus comes again in answer To an earnest, heartfelt praver ;

Hallelujah! Hallelujah f Comes to save us from despair.

3 Jesus comes to hearts rejoicing,

Bringing news of sins forgiven ; Jesus comes in sounds of gladness, Leading souls redeemed to heaven ;

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Now the gate of death is riven.

4 Jesus comes on clouds triumphant,

When the heavens shall pass away ; Jesus comes again in glory : — Let us then our homage pay, Hallelujah ! ever singing, Till the dawn of endless day.

434 PSALM XIX.

THE glory of God these bright heavens are declaring, The work of his hands doth the firmament show. For day unto day utters speech with- out ending, And night unto night doth with knowledge o'erflow.

2 No voice hreaketh in on the silence

around us, No speech is there uttered, and

language is none ; All round the wide earth runs the line

of their border, Their words to the world's widest

limits have gone.

3 In them for the sun hath he set a

pavilion ; And he, like a bridegroom, in bridal array, Comes forth from his chamber, in glory rejoicing, To speed, like a racer of strength, on his way.

4 From yon farthest end of these heavens

THY WAY, NOT MINE.

THY way, not mine, 0 Lord,

However dark it be ! Lead me by thine own hand,

Choose ont the path for me. Smooth let it be or rough,

It will be still the best, Winding or straight, it leads

Eight onward to thy rest.

I dare not choose my lot ;

I woidd not, if I might : Choose thou for me, my God,

So shall I walk aright. The kingdom that I seek

Is thine ; so let the way That leads to it be thine,

Else I must surely stray.

Take thou my cup, and it

With joy or sorrow fill, As best to thee may seem ;

Choose thou my good and ill. Not mine, not mine the choice,

In things or great or small ; Be thou my guide, my strength,

My wisdom, and my alL

HEAVEN ANTICIPATED.

THEEE is a blessed home

Beyond this land of woe, Where trials never come,

Nor tears of sorrow flow ; Where faith is lost in sight,

And patient hope is crowned, And everlasting light

Its glory throws around.

2 There is a land of peace,

Good angels know it well ; Glad songs that never cease

Within its portals swell ; Around its glorious throne

Ten thousand saints adore Christ, with the Father One

And Spirit, evermore.

3 Look up, ye saints of God,

Xor fear to tread below The path your Saviour trod

Of daily toil and woe ; Wait but a little while

In uncomplaining love, His own most gracious smile

►Shall welcome you above.

439 THE CLOSING DAY.

SINK not yet, my soul, to slumber, Wake, my heart, go forth and tell All the mercies without number That this by-gone day befell : Tell how God hath kept afar All things that against me war, Hath upheld me and defended, And his grace my soul befriended.

I Father, merciful and holy,

Thee to-night I praise and bless, Who to labour true and lowly

Grantest every meet success : Many a sin and many a woe, Many a fierce and subtle foe, [me,

Hast thou checked, that once alarmed So that nought to-day has harmed me.

Yes, our wisdom vainly ponders,

Fathoms not thy loving thought ; Never tongue can tell the wonders

That each day for us are wrought : Thou hast guided me to-day That no ill hath crossed my way : There is neither bound nor measure In thy love's o'erflowing treasure.

440 T0 THE H0LT SPIRIT.

HOLY Ghost, dispel our sadness, Pierce the clouds of sinful night ;

Come, thou source of sweetest gladness! Breathe thy life, and spread thy light:

Loving Spirit, God of peace,

Great distributor of grace,

Rest upon this congregation,

Hear, 0 hear our supplication.

From that height which knows no mea- As a plenteous rain descend, [sure Bringing down the richest treasure Man can wish, or God can send. Come with unction and with power, On our souls thy graces shower ! Author of the new creation, Make our hearts thy habitation !

Manifest thy love for ever ;

Fence us in on every side ; In distress be our reliever ;

Guard and teach, support and guide ; Let thy kind effectual grace, Turn our feet from evil ways : Show thyself our new Creator, And conform us to thy nature.

PEACE IN BELIEVING.

SOMETIMES a light surprises

The Christian while he sings ; It is the Lord who rises

With healing in his wings : When comforts are declining,

He grants the soul again A season of clear shining,

To cheer it after rain.

In holy contemplation,

We sweetly then pursue The theme of God's salvation,

And find it ever new ; Set free from present sorrow,

We cheerfully can say, Even let the unknown to-morrow

Bring with it what it may :

It can bring with it nothing,

But he will bear us through ; Who gives the lilies clothing,

Will clothe his people too : Beneath the spreading heavens,

No creature but is fed ; And he who feeds the ravens,

Will give his children bread.

Though vine nor fig-tree neither,

Their wonted fruit shall bear, Though all the field should wither,

Nor flocks nor herds be there : Yet God the same abiding,

His praise shall tune my voice ; For while in him confiding,

I cannot but rejoice.

442

THE OMNIPRESENT.

ON mountains and in valleys,

Where'er we go is God ; The cottage and the palace

Alike are his abode. With watchful eye abiding

Upon us with delight ; Our souls, in him confiding,

He keeps both day and night.

Above me and beside me,

My God is ever near, To watch, protect, and guide me,

Whatever ills appear. Though other friends may fail me,

In sorrow's dark abode, Though death itself assail me,

I'm ever safe with God.

0 GOD, the Eock of Ages,

Who evermore hast been, "What time the tempest rages,

Our dwelling-place serene : Before thy first creations, ■'

0 Lord, the same as now, To endless generations

The everlasting Thou !

Our years are like the shadows

On sunny hills that lie, Or grasses in the meadows

That blossom but to die : A sleep, a dream, a story,

By strangers quickly told, An unremaining glory

Of things that soon are old.

0 thou who canst not slumber,

Whose light grows never pale, Teach us aright to number

Our years before they faiL On us thy mercy lighten,

On us thy goodness rest, And let thy Spirit brighten

The hearts thyself hast blessed

PRESERVING GRACE.

O LAMB of God ! still keep me

ISTear to thy wounded side ; 'Tis only there in safety

And peace I can abide. What foes and snares surround me !

What lusts and fears within ! The grace that sought and found me

Alone can keep me clean.

'Tis only in thee hiding,

I know my life secure ; Only in thee abiding,

The conflict can endure : Thine arm the vict'ry gaineth

O'er every hurtful foe : Thy love my heart sustaineth

In all its cares and woe.

Soon shall my eyes behold thee

With rapture, face to face : One half hath not been told me

Of all thy power and grace : Thy beauty, Lord, and glory,

The wonders of thy love, Shall be the endless story

Of all thy saints above.

445 BEGINNING THE DAY.

FORTH in thy name, 0 Lord, I go, My daily labour to pursue ; Thee, only thee, resolved to know, In all I think, or speak, or do.

2 The task thy wisdom hath assigned, Oh let me cheerfully fulfil !

In all my works thy presence find, And prove thy acceptable will.

3 Thee may I set at my right hand, Whose eyes my inmost substance see And labour on at thy command, And offer all my works to thee.

4 Give me to bear thy easy yoke, And every moment watch and pray, And still to things eternal look, And hasten to thy glorious day.

446 Christ's merits.

NO more, my God, I boast no more Of all the duties I have done ; I quit the hopes I held before, To trust the merits of thy Son.

2 Now for the love I bear his name, What was my gain I count my loss ; My former pride I call my shame, And nail my glory to his cross.

3 Yes ; and I must and will esteem All tilings but loss for Jesus' sake ; Oh, may my soul be found in him, And of his righteousness partake !

4 The lest obedience of my hands Dares not appear before thy throne ; But faith can answer thy demands By pleading what my Lord has done.

447 in time °F war-

O GOD of love, 0 King of Peace ! Make wars throughout the world to cease ; The wrath of sinful man restrain ; Give peace, 0 God, give peace again !

2 Remember, Lord, thy works of old, The wonders that our fathers told ; Eemember not our sins' dark stain ; Give peace, 0 God, give peace again !

3 Whom shall we trust but thee, 0 Lord ? Where rest but on thy faithful word ? None ever called on thee in vain ; Give peace, 0 God, give peace again !

4 Where saints and angels dwell above, All hearts are knit in holy love ;

Oh bind us in that heavenly chain ; Give peace, 0 God, give peace again !

448 BLESSED HUNGER.

ALL wondering on the desert ground, The hungry thousands gazed around, While Jesus for their need displayed The power that once the worlds had made.

2 Few were the words the Saviour spake ; He only blessed the bread and brake ; The scanty loaves, the fishes few,

At his commandment ceaseless grew.

3 No meagre store, 0 Lord, have we

Of grace and blessings showered from

thee ; Yet in our barren hearts and dry More scanty grows the rich suppty.

4 Oh ! with a living growth inspire, Not thy blest gifts, but our desire, That we may taste thy mercy's store, And thirst and hunger never more !

agimletie.

449 JEHOVAH SHALOM.

WHERE shall I look for holy calm, But in thy blood, thou dying Lamb 1 My only hope of mercy lies In thine atoning sacrifice.

2 The world's temptations may assail, Its friendship cease — its comforts fail ; But if thy peace, dear Lord, be mine, All else submissive I resign.

3 Oh, let my spirit meekly rest

In whatsoe'er thy love sees best ; Confiding in thy sovereign grace, And trusting where I fail to trace.

4 Oft, while on earth, short-sighted man Sees but the half-developed plan ; But inner meanings now unknown, Shall be evolved before the throne !

5 Lord, let thy peace meanwhile sustain, 'Mid mingled scenes of joy and pain, Till in the fulness of thy love,

I reach the Fountain-head above.

450 GATHERED TOGETHER.

WHERE two or three, with sweet ac- Obedient to their sovereign Lord, [cord, Meet to recount his acts of grace, And offer solemn prayer and praise ;

2 There, said the Saviour, will I be, Amid this little company ;

To them unveil my smiling face, And shed my glories round the place.

3 "We meet at thy command, dear Lord, Relying on thy faithful word :

Now send thy Spirit from above, And fill our hearts with heavenly love.

451 REST IN CHRIST.

LORD of our hearts, beloved of thee, Weary of earth, we sigh to rest, — Supremely happy, safe and free, For ever on thy tender breast :

2 To see thee, love thee, feel thee near, Nor dread as now thy transient stay ; To dwell beyond the reach of fear, Lest joy should wane or pass away.

3 Children of hope, beloved Lord ! In thee we live, we glory now ; Our joy, our rest, our great reward, Our diadem of beauty, thou !

4 And when exalted, Lord, with thee, Thy royal throne at length we share, To everlasting thou shalt be

Our diadem, our glory there.

452 god's mercies.

GIVE to our God immortal praise ; Mercy and truth are all his ways : Wonders of grace to God belong ; Repeat his mercies in your song.

2 He built the earth, he spread the sky, And fixed the starry lights on high ; Wonders of grace to God belong ; Repeat his mercies in your song.

3 He sent his Son with power to save, From guilt, and darkness, and the grave ; Wonders of grace to God belong ; Repeat his mercies in your song.

£ Through this vain world he guides our And leads us to his heavenly seat ; [feet, Wonders of grace to God belong ; Repeat his mercies in your song.

453 CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP.

BLEST is the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love : The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above.

2 Before our Father's throne We pour our ardent prayers :

Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, Our comforts and our cares.

3 We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear,

And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear.

4 From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin, we shall be free ;

And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.

454 THE pURE IN HEART.

BLEST are the pure in heart, For they shall see their God : The secret of the Lord is theirs Their soul is Christ's abode.

2 The Lord who left the heavens, Our life and peace to bring ;

To dwell in lowliness with nun, Their pattern and their King ; —

3 He to the lowly soul Loth still himself impart,

And for his dwelling, and his throne, Chooseth the pure in heart.

4 Lord, we thy presence seek : May ours this blessing be ;

Oh, give the pure and lowly heart A temple meet for thee !

455 THE CHIEFEST JOY.

BLEST be thy love, dear Lord, That taught us this sweet way, Only to love thee for thyself, And for that love obey.

2 0 thou, our souls' chief hope ! We to thy mercy fly ;

Where'er we are, thou canst protect, Whate'er we need supply.

3 Whether we sleep or wake, To thee we both resign ;

By night we see as well as day, If thy light on us shine.

4 Whether we live or die, Both we submit to thee,

In death we live as well as life, If thine in death we be.

456 A BLESSING SOUGHT.

0 THOU that nearest prayer, Behold us at thy feet ; Xow let us prove thy presence here, Where two or three are met.

2 Thy presence, Lord, we plead, Nor can we plead in vain ;

Thou never saidst to Israel's seed, Seek ye my face in vain.

3 Glory to thee alone !

Thou God of boundless grace, Who dost refreshing showers send down, To cheer thy drooping race.

4 0 let it now be shown

How true, how good thou art ; Lord, send a gracious answer down To every humble heart.

2 Come, for thy Israel pines, An exile from thy fold ;

Oh call to mind thy faithfnl word, And bless them as of old.

3 Come, for love waxes cold, Its steps are faint and slow ;

Faith now is lost in unbelief, Hope's lamp burns dim and low.

4 Come, for the corn is ripe, Put in thy sickle now,

Reap the great harvest of the earth ; Sower and reaper thou !

5 Come, in thy glorious might, Come with the iron rod,

Scattering thy foes before thy face, Most mighty Son of God.

6 Come, and make all things new, Build up this ruined earth,

Eestore our faded Paradise, Creation's second birth.

7 Come, and begin thy reign Of everlasting peace ;

Come, take the kingdom to thyself, Great King of righteousness.

WELCOME, sweet day of rest, That saw the Lord arise ; Welcome to this reviving breast, And these rejoicing eyes !

2 The King himself comes near, And feasts his saints to-day ;

Here we may sit and see him here, And love, and praise, and pray.

3 One day amidst the' place Where my dear Lord hath been,

Is sweeter than ten thousand days Of pleasurable sin.

4 My willing soul would stay In such a frame as this,

And sit and sing herself away To everlasting bliss.

WOEK while it is to-day ! This was our Saviour's rule ; With docile minds let us obey, As learners in his school.

2 Lord Christ, we humbly ask Of thee the power and will,

With fear and meekness, every task Of duty to fulfil.

3 At home, by word and deed, Adorn redeeming grace ;

And sow abroad the precious seed Of truth in every place.

4 That thus the wilderness May blossom like the rose,

And trees spring up of righteousness, Where'er life's river flows.

5 For thee our all to spend, Still may we watch and pray,

And persevering to the end, Work while it is to-day.

Be thou my guide. Bid darkness turn to day, Wipe sorrow's tears away, Nor let me ever stray

Prom thee aside.

Firmly on this ground have stood : See their banners waving o'er us —

" Conquerors through the Saviour's blood!" Ground we hold, whereon of old Fought the faithful and the bold. 1 Therefore we will tight, victorious

By the blood of Christ, our Lord ; On our foreheads bright and glorious

Shines the witness of his word : Spear and shield on battle-field. His great name ; we will not yield. : When his servants stand before him,

Each receiving his reward ; When his saints in light adore him,

Giving glory to the Lord — Victory ! our song shall be, Like the thunder of the sea !

Peace that comes from God alone.

Enter every trembling heart.

I Come, almighty to deliver,

Let us all thy grace receive ; Suddenly return, and never,

Xever more thy temples leave : Thee we would be always blessing ;

Serve thee as thy hosts above ; Pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,

Glory in thy perfect love.

Pure and spotless let us be ; Let us see thy great salvation,

Perfectly restored in thee : Changed from glory into glory,

Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before thee,

Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

46 V EVENING.

SAVIOUR, breathe an evening blessing

Ere repose onr spirits seal. Sin and want we come confessing :

Thou canst save, and thou canst heal. Though destruction walk around us,

Though the arrows past us fly, Angel-guards from thee surround us j

We are safe, for thou art nigh.

; Though the night be dark and dreary,

Darkness cannot hide from thee. Thou art he who, never weary,

Watchest where thy people be. Should swift death this night o'ertake us.

And our couch become our tomb, May the morn in heaven awake us,

Clad in light and deathless bloom.

468 HEARING THE WORD.

OH, how blest the hour, Lord Jesus, When we can to thee draw near,

Promises so sweet and precious From thy gracious lips to hear !

Be with us this day to bless us, That we may not hear in vain ;

With the saving truths impress us, Which the word of life contain.

2 Open thou our minds, and lead us

Safely in our heavenward way ; With the lamp of truth precede us,

That we may not go astray. Make us gentle, meek, and humble,

And yet bold in doing right ; Scatter darkness lest we stumble :

Men walk safely in the light.

3 In our hearts the love awaken

Which within thine own doth glow, That we may, with truth unshaken,

Cleave to thee in weal and woe. Let us shun no cross, nor trial,

Which has been imposed by thee, Exercising self-denial

For thy sake most cheerfully.

4 Lord, endue thy word from heaven

With such light, and love, and power, That in us its silent leaven

May work on from hour to hour. Give us grace to bear our witness

To the truths we have embraced, And let others both their sweetness

And their quickening virtue taste.

COME, thou Fount of every blessing !

Tune my heart to sing thy grace ! Streams of mercy never ceasing

Call for songs of loudest praise. ! Teach me some melodious measure,

Sung by raptured saints above ; Fill my soul with sacred pleasure,

While I sing redeeming love.

> By thy hand sustained, defended,

Safe through life thus far I've come Safely, Lord, when life is ended,

Bring me to my heavenly home. L Jesus sought me when a stranger,

Wandering from the fold of God ; He, to save my soul from danger,

Interposed his precious blood.

> Oh, to grace how great a debtor

Daily I'm constrained to be ! Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,

Bind my wandering heart to thee ! ) Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,

Prone to leave the God I love — Ilere's my heart — oh, take and seal it

Seal it for thy courts above.

47"0 THE PRINCE OF PEACE.

COME, thou long-expected Jesus,

Born to set thy people free ; From our fears and sins release us ;

Let us find our rest in thee. 2 Israel's strength and consolation,

Hope of all the earth thou art : Blest desire of every nation,

Joy of every longing heart.

3 Born thy'people to deliver ;

Born a child, and yet a King ; Born to reign in us for ever ;

Now thy gracious kingdom bring. t By thine own eternal Spirit, Rule in all our hearts alone : By thine all-sufficient merit, Raise us to thy glorious throne.

471 THE GLORY OF GOD.

LORD, supreme in glory dwelling, Of thy wondrous power and might

Earth and heaven rejoice in telling, Day to day, and night to night.

2 Through each clime, to every nation,

Trumpet-tongued, by sea, by land, Nature speaks her adoration Of the great creative hand.

3 See the sun in bridal splendour

Tells from whence his glories rise ; See the moon her homage render

As she climbs the spangled skies. 1 Glorious thus thy word : it beameth

O'er the soul supremely bright, Speaking him whose love redeemeth —

Joy of nations, Light of light.

472 "G0 IN rEACE-"

LORD, go with us, grant thy blessing ;

Let us now depart in peace. Lord, thy favour still possessing, Let our faith and love increase. ■2 "Slay each Sabbath bring us nearer To our glorious rest above ; And our hopes grow brighter, clearer, Till we reach our home above.

NONE but Christ : his merit hides me,

He was faultless — I am fair ; None but Christ, his wisdom guides me,

He was out-cast — I'm his care. ! None but Christ : his Spirit seals me,

Gives me freedom, with control ; None but Christ, his bruising heals me,

And his sorrow soothes my soul.

• None but Christ : his life sustains me, Strength and song to me he is ; None but Christ, his love constrains me, He is mine and I am his :

[ His while living — his when dying — His at judgment's solemn tryst ; Even in heaven on him relying, I will boast of " none but Christ."

4*74 ONWARD.

RISE, my soul, thy God directs thee,

Stranger hands no more impede ; Pass thou on, his strength protects thee,

Strength that has the captive freed. I Light divine surrounds thy going,

God himself shall mark thy way ; Secret blessings, richly flowing,

Lead to everlasting day. 3 Though thy way be long and dreary,

Eagle strength he'll still renew ; Garments fresh, and feet unweary,

Tell how God will bear thee through : i Till to Canaan's long-loved dwelling

Love divine thy foot shall bring, There, with shouts of triumph swelling,

Zion's songs in rest to sing.

475 THE HIDDEX HOPE- BLESSED hope ! that Ave the sinful

May be like to thee the Lord, Our degraded souls exalted,

By thy wonder-working word.

2 'Twas for this, 0 blessed Jesus,

Thou didst leave thy bright abode, To destroy the works of Satan, And make us the sons of God :

3 And to souls all lost and hopeless,

This reviving hope impart — That the lost may be restored, And the vile be pure in heart.

4 Blessed is the kind assurance

Of our God that we are his ; Blessed is the hope and promise, "We shall see him as he is.

47"6 THE RESURRECTION DAY.

1 SEE the King desired for ages,

By the just expected long ; Long implored, at length he hasteth, Cometh with salvation strong.

2 Oh, how past all utterance happy,

Sweet and joyful it will be, When they who, unseen, have loved him, Jesus face to face shall see !

3 What will be the bliss and rapture

None can dream and none can tell, There to reign among the angels, In that heavenly home to dwell. i To those realms, 0 Saviour, call me, Deign to open that blest gate, Thou whom, seeking, looking, longing, I, with eager hope, await !

THY WILL BE DONE.

FOLLOW ME.

MY God and Father ! while I stray- Far from my home, in life's rough way. Oh ! teach me from my heart to say Thy will be done.

2 Though dark my path, and sad my lot, Let me be still, and murmur not, Or breathe the prayer divinely taught,

Thy will be done.

3 If thou shouldst call me to resign AVhat most I prize — it ne'er was mine : I only yield thee what was thine ;

Thy will be done.

4 Should pining sickness waste away My life in premature decay,

My Father, still I strive to say, Thy will be done.

5 If but my fainting heart be blest With thy sweet Spirit for its guest, My God, to thee I leave the rest ; —

Thy will be done.

6 Renew my will from day to day, Blend it with thine, and take away All now that makes it hard to say,

Thy will be done.

THEOUGH good report and evil, Lord, Still guided by thy faithful word, Our staff, our buckler, and our sword, We follow thee !

2 In silence of the lonely night, In the full glow of day's clear light,

dark [or bright,

Through life's strange windings, We follow thee !

3 Strengthened by thee, we forward go, 'Mid smile or scoff of friend or foe, Through pain orease, through joy orwoe, We follow thee !

± With enemies on every side, We lean on thee, the crucified, Forsaking all on earth beside, We follow thee !

5 0 Master, point thou out the way, Nor suffer thou our steps to stray, Then in the path that leads to day, We follow thee !

G Thou hast passed on before our face, Thy footsteps on the way we trace, Oh keep us, aid us by thy grace, We follow thee 1

7 Then when on earth I breathe no more 1 7 Whom have we in the heaven above, The prayer oft mixed with tears before, Whom on this earth, save thee, to love, I'll sing upon a happier shore, Still in the light we onward move,

Thv will be done. I We follow thee !

WE cannot always trace the way Where thou, our gracious Lord, dost But we can always surely say [move,

That thou art love. When fear its gloomy cloud will fling O'er earth ; — our souls to heaven above, As to their sanctuary, spring ;

For thou art love.

"When mystery shrouds our darkened path, [prove ;

"We'll check our dread, our doubts re- in this our soul sweet comfort hath, That thou art love.

Yes ! thou art love ; and truth like this Can every gloomy thought remove, And turn all tears, all woes to bliss ; Our God is love.

JESUS lives ! no longer now

Can thy terrors, Death, appal us ; Jesus lives ! and this we know,

Thou, 0 Grave, canst not enthral us Jesus lives ! henceforth is death

But the gate of life immortal ; This shall calm our trembling breath,

When we pass its gloomy portal. 14

JESUS LIVES.

Jesus lives ! for us he died ;

Then, alone to Jesus living, Pure in heart may we abide,

Glory to our Saviour giving. Jesus lives ! to him the throne

Far above all power is given ; May we go where he is gone,

Best and reign with him in heaven.

481 NATIONAL HUMILIATION.

GREAT King of nations, hear our prayer,

While at thy feet we fall, And humbly, with united cry,

To thee for mercy call ; Though guilt is ours, yet grace is thine,

0 turn us not away, But hear us from thy lofty throne,

And help us when we pray.

2 Our fathers' sins were manifold,

And ours no less we own, Yet wondrously from age to age

Thy goodness hath been shown ; When dangers, like a stormy sea,

Beset our country round, To thee we looked, to thee we cried,

And help in thee we found.

3 With one consent we meekly bow

Beneath thy chast'ning hand, And, pouring forth confession meet,

Mourn with our mourning iall(i • With pitying eye behold our need,

As thus we pour our prayer, "Correct us with thy judgments, Lord,

Then let thy mercy spare."

482

TRUST UNDER TRIAL.

FATHER of love, our Guide and Friend,

Oh lead us gently on, Until life's trial-time shall end,

And heavenly peace be won. We know not what the path may be

As yet by us untrod ; But we can trust our all to thee,

Our Father and our God.

If called, like Abraham's child, to climb

The hill of sacrifice, Some angel may be there in time ;

Deliverance shall arise : Or, if some darker lot be good,

Oh teach us to endure The sorrow, pain, or solitude,

That makes the spirit pure !

Christ by no flowery pathway came ;

And we, his followers here, Must do thy will and praise thy name,

In hope, and love, and fear. And, till in heaven we sinless bow,

And faultless anthems raise, 0 Father, Son, and Spirit, now

Accept our feeble praise.

gjeironsffixe.

483 THE WAY> THE TRUTH, THE LIFE.

THOU art the "Way ; by thee alone From sin and death we nee ;

And he who wonld the Father seek, Must seek him, Lord, by thee.

2 Thou art the Truth ; thy word alone

True wisdom can impart : Thou only canst inform the mind, And purify the heart.

3 Thou art the Life ; the rending tomb

Proclaims thy conquering arm ; And those who put their trust in thee Nor death nor hell shall harm.

4 Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life :

Grant us that Way to know, That Truth to keep, that Life to win, Whose joys eternal flow.

484 " IT IS finished."

'TIS finished ! was his latest voice ;

These sacred accents o'er, He bowed his head, gave up the ghost,

And suffered pain no more.

2 'Tis finished ! The Messiah dies

For sins, but not his own ; The great redemption is complete, And Satan's power o'erthrown.

3 'Tis finished ! All his groans are past \

His blood, his pain, and toils, Have fully vanquished our foes,

And crowned him with their spoils.

4 'Tis finished ! Legal worship ends,

And gospel ages run ; All old things now are past away, And a new world begun.

485 THE L0RD 0UR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

THOU, Christ, the great Jehovah art,

The Fount of holiness ; And, God with us, thou art become

The Lord our righteousness.

2 Oh wash us with thy blood, and clothe

With thy pure spotless dress ; Oh hide us in thyself, and be The Lord our righteousness.

3 Make us by grace to be in deed

What we in word profess ; Oh make us like unto thyself, The Lord our righteousness.

4 So, in thy glorious image raised

May we thy mercy bless ; And sing for ever praise to thee, The Lord our righteousness.

486 THE FREE GIFT.

0 FOUNT of grace that runneth o'er,

So full, so vast, so free ! Are none too worthless, none too poor,

To come and take cf thee ?

2 We come, 0 Lord, with empty hands,

Yet turn us not away ; For grace hath nothing to demand, And suppliants nought to pay.

3 rTis ours to ask and to receive ; —

To take, — and not to buy : 'Tis thine, — in sovereign grace to give, Yea, — give abundantly !

4 And thus, in simple faith we dare

Our empty urn to bring : Oh, nerve the feeble hand of prayer, To dip it in the spring !

JEHOVAH TSIDKENU.

I ONCE was a stranger to grace and

to God, I knew not my danger, and felt not

my load ; Though friends spoke in rapture of

Christ on the tree, "Jehovah Tsidkenu;" 'twas nothing

to me.

2 Like tears from the daughters of Zion

that roll, I wept when the waters went over his

soul ; Yet thought not that my sins had

nailed to the tree "Jehovah Tsidkenu;" 'twas nothing

to me.

3 When free grace awoke me, by light

from on high, Then legal fears shook me, I trembled

to die ; No refuge nor safety in self could I

see — " Jehovah Tsidkenu " my Saviour

must be.

5 Even treading the valley, the shadow

of death, This watchword shall rally my faltering

breath ; For if from life's fever my God set me

free, "Jehovah Tsidkenu" my death-song

shall be.

6 Jehovah Tsidkenu ! my treasure and

boast, Jehovah Tsidkenu ! I ne'er can be lost ; In thee I shall conquer by flood and

by field, My cable, my anchor, my breast-plate

and shield !

488

PRESSING ON.

1 WE leave now behind us the world

and its crowd ; We set now before us the home of our

God. We take up our cross now, to follow

the Lamb ; We close round his banner, for glory

or shame.

. , , , r ,, 2 We take up the armour our Captain 4 My terrors all vanished belore the ^ath afven

sweet name ; My guilty fears banished, with boldness

I came To drink at the fountain, life-giving

and free; " Jehovah Tsidkenu" is all things to me.

The sword and the breastplate, the

helmet of heaven. In faith thus defying the foe and the sin, We fight our life's battle ; we fight and

we win.

HOMEWARD.

490

LOOKING UNTO JESUS.

OH, had I, my Saviour, the wings of a: OH eyes that are weary, and hearts that

dove, How soon would I soar to thy presence

above ! How soon would I fly where the weary

have rest, And hide all my cares in thy sheltering

breast !

2 I flutter, I struggle, and pant to get free ; I feel me a captive while banished from

thee : A pilgrim and stranger, the desert I

roam, And look on to heaven, and long to be

home.

3 Ah ! there the wild tempest for ever

shall cease ;

ISTo billow shall ruffle that haven of peace ;

Temptation and trouble alike shall de- part,

All tears from the eye, and all sin from the heart.

4 Soon, soon may this Eden of promise

be mine ; Rise, bright sun of glory, no more to

decline ; Thy light, yet unrisen, the wilderness

cheers ;

are sore, Look off unto Jesus, and sorrow no

•more : The light of his countenance shineth

so bright, That on earth, as in heaven, there need

be no night.

"Looking off unto Jesus," my eyes cannot see

The troubles and dangers that throng around me :

They cannot be blinded with sorrowful tears,

They cannot be shadowed with unbe- lief-fears.

3 " Looking off unto Jesus," my spirit is blest, — In the world I have turmoil — in him I

have rest : The sea of my life all about me may

roar, — When I look unto Jesus, I hear it no more.

4 "Looking off unto Jesus," I go not astray ; My eyes are on him, and he shows me

the way : The path may seem dark, as he leads Oh what will it be when the fulness! me along,

appears 1 I But following Jesus, I cannot go wrong

491 THE REALMS OF THE BLEST.

WE speak of the realms of the blest, Of that country so bright and so fair,

And oft are its glories confessed * But what must it be to be there 1

2 We speak of its pathways of gold, .

Of its walls decked with jewels so rare, Its wonders and pleasures untold ; But what must it be to be there %

3 We speak of its freedom from sin,

From sorrow, temptation, and care, From trials without and within ; But what must it be to be there 1

4 We speak of its service of love,

The robes which the glorified wear, The Church of the first-born above ;

But what must it be to be there 1 o Do thou, Lord, 'midst pleasure or woe,

Still for heaven our spirits prepare, And shortly we also shall know

And feel what it is to be there.

492 PSALM xxxvi.

AS high as the heavens, and as vast, Thy mercy, 0 God, has no bound : Thy laws, like the mountains, stand fast Thy judgments no plummet can sound.

2 All creatures thy providence share ;

Thy bounty, how sovereign and free ! To thee, as the hearer of prayer, All mortals for refuge may flee.

3 The poor in thy house are supplied,

"Wnere freely thy gifts are bestowed ; And they drink the pure waters that glide Through the courts of thy hallowed abode.

i With thee is the fountain of life ;

Lord, grant us to drink of that spring ; And o'er the world's sorrow and strife The light of thy promises fling.

5 Continue thy love to thy saints ;

To the just thy protection extend ; On the wicked impose thy restraints, And the weak from oppression defend.

493 DEBTOR TO MERCY.

A DEBTOR to mercy alone,

Of covenant mercy I sing, Nor fear with thy righteousness on,

My person and oifring to bring :

2 The terrors of law and of God

With me can have nothing to do ; My Saviour's obedience and blood Hide all my transgressions from view.

3 The work which his goodness began,

The arm of his strength will com- plete : His promise is yea and amen, And never was forfeited yet :

•i Things future, nor things that are now, Not all things below nor above, Can make him his purpose forego, Or sever my soul from his love.

5 My name from the palms of his hands

Eternity will not erase ; Impressed on his heart it remains, In marks of indelible grace :

6 Yes, I to the end shall endure,

As sure as the earnest is given ; More happy, but not more secure, The glorified spirits in heaven.

494 BEGINNING OF

BLESSED Jesus, at thy word

"We are gathered all to hear thee ; Let our hearts and souls be stirred

Now to seek and love and fear thee By thy teachings sweet and holy Drawn from earth to love thee solely. ! All our knowledge, sense, and sight

Lie in deepest darkness shrouded, Till thy Spirit breaks our night

With the beams of truth unclouded :

WORSHIP.

Thou alone to God canst win us, Thou must work all good within us.

Glorious Lord, thyself impart !

Light of light from God proceeding, Open thou our ears and heart,

Help us by thy Spirit's pleading ; Hear the cry thy people raises, Hear and bless our prayers and praises.

500 THE CHURCH'S HAPPY PROSPECT.

HASTEN, Lord, that morn of glory,

When the world shall groan no more. When the Gospel's joyous story

Shall be spread from shore to shore. \ Speed the glorious proclamation, Let Messiah's power increase ; Every tribe, and tongue, and nation, Welcome in the Prince of Peace ! I Wake your echoes, rocks of Kedar ! Midian ! Ephah ! own his grace ! " Eir, and pine, and box, and cedar, Beautify his holy place ! " t Blessed time, when every dwelling Shall one joyful anthem raise ; Every heart with rapture swelling, Thrilling every tongue with praise : ) When the leopard and the lion With the lamb in peace shall lie, And within the earthly Zion

Dwell the love that reigns on high ! > Eirmament, now glowing o'er us !

Mountains ! rivers ! isles ! and sea ! All combine to swell the chorus That will ring earth's jubilee !

501 TIIE COMING GLORY.

HEAR what God the Lord hath spoken :

" 0 my people, faint and few, Comfortless, afflicted, broken,

Pair abodes I build for you. I " Thorns of heartfelt tribulation

Shall no more perplex your ways ; You shall name your walls Salvation,

And your gates shall all be Praise.

" There, of joy the peaceful river,

From the throne on high shall flow : Eor the Lord, the bounteous Giver,

All his fulness shall bestow. " There, in undisturbed possession,

Peace and righteousness shall reign j Xever shall you feel oppression,

Nor hear voice of war again. " God shall rise, and shining o'er you,

Change to day the gloom of night ; He, the Lord, shall be your Glory,

God, your everlasting Light."

502 THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY.

CALL Jehovah thy salvation,

Pest beneath th' Almighty's shade, In his secret habitation

Dwell and never be dismayed ! There no tumult can alarm thee,

Thou shalt dread no hidden snare ; Guile nor violence can harm thee,

In eternal safeguard there. Thee, though winds and waves are swelling,

God, thy hope, shall bear through all ; Plague shall not come nigh thy dwelling,

Thee no evil shall befall. He vshall charge his angel legions

Watch and ward o'er thee to keep ; Though thou walk through hostile re- gions,

Though in desert wilds thou sleep. Since, with firm and pure affection,

Thou on God hast set thy love, With the wings of his protection

He shall shield thee from above.

503 GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST.

LOED, thy glory fills the heaven, Earth is with its fulness stored ;

Unto thee be glory given, Holy, Holy, Holy Lord.

2 Heaven is still with glory ringing,

Earth takes up the angels' cry, " Holy, Holy, Holy," singing,

" Lord of Hosts, the Lord most high."

3 With his seraph train before him,

With his ransomed Church below, Thus conspire we to adore him, Bid we thus our anthem flow :

4 " Lord, thy glory fills the heaven,

Earth is with its fulness stored ; Unto thee be glory given, Holy, Holy, Holy Lord."

5 Thus thy glorious name confessing,

We adopt the angels' cry, Holy, Holy, Holy, blessing

Thee the Lord of Hosts most high.

504 RECONCILIATION.

TAKE me, 0 my Father, take me, — Take me, save me, through thy Son ;

That which thou wouldsthave me, make Let thy will in me be done. [me ;

2 Long from thee my footsteps straying,

Thorny proved the way I trod ;

Weary, come I now, and praying —

Take me to thy love, my God.

3 Fruitless years with grief recalling,

Humbly I confess my sin ; At thy feet, 0 Father, calling, To thy household take me in.

4 Freely now to thee I proffer

This relenting heart of mine ; Freely life and soul I offer, Gift unworthy love like thine.

5 Once the world's Eedeemer, dying,

Bore our sins upon the tree ; On that sacrifice relying, ISrow I look in hope to thee.

6 Father, take me ! all forgiving,

Fold me to thy loving breast ; In thy love for ever living, I must be for ever blest.

505 THE LIGHT 0F THE WORLD.

LOED, we worship thee, whose power Called the rolling worlds from nought,

And with bounteous hand did shower Gifts on all that thou hast wrought.

2 Through this boundless, vast creation,

Shine thy goodness and thy might, Where in wondrous combination, Wisdom, power, and love unite.

3 Thou hast called us into being ;

We are not our own, but thine ; Lord ! with heart and voice agreeing, We confess thy power divine.

4 Far from thee, 0 Lord, we perish ;

But the blood of Christ alone, Source of every hope we cherish, Pleads for us before the throne.

5 Grant us, Lord, thy Holy Spirit,

To reveal to every breast All the treasures we inherit Who in Jesus Christ have part.

506 PSALM VIII.

JEHOVAH, Lord,

Our Lord ; how excellent In all the earth,

How excellent thy name ! Above the heavens

Thou hast set high thy fame ; From lips of babes

And sucklings strength is found, The proud to still,

The avenger to confound.

2 When I that sky

Survey which thou hast made, Thy handiwork ;

That moon and stars so high Which thou hast set j

What then is man, say I, Poor man, that thou

At all rememberest him, Cr son of man,

That thou dost visit him ?

3 A little less

Him than the angels thou, 0 Lord, hast nude.

Honour and gloiy now Upon his head

Hast set ; o'er all thy works

Thy king to reign.

All under him hast put The flocks and h?rds

And cattle of the plain;

The little birds,

That people all the air, Fish of the seas

And whatsoever there Through the dark ways

Of ocean come and go. Jehovah, Lord,

Our Lord, how excellent In all the earth,

How excellent thy name !

507

PSALM CXXXIV.

JEHOVAH bless !

Jehovah's servants all, Who stand by night

Within Jehovah's house ! Lift up your hands

Within his holy place, Bless him, and on him call !

Jehovah, he who made The heaven and earth,

From Zion hill thee bless !

PSALM XXIV.

EARTH is the Lord's,

And all its fulness his ! This world of ours,

And they who therein dwell. For he hath laid

Upon the mighty seas The earth, and deep

Foundations of our world ; And on the floods

Hath built it firm and well !

Who shall ascend

Into Jehovah's hill 1 "Who stand within

His holy place on high ? Of hands the clean,

The pure of heart and will, He who hath not

Lifted to vanity His soul, nor hath

He sworn deceitfully :

He shall receive

The blessing of the Lord ! He shall receive

The perfect righteousness

From him who is

To him salvation's God. Of those who him

Do seek, such is the race, Of those who do,

0 Jacob, seek thy face.

4 Lift up, 0 gates,

Lift up your heads on high ! Be lifted up,

Doors of eternity I Then he, the King

Of glory, shall come in ! Who can this King,

This King of glory be 1 Jehovah strong,

In battle mighty he !

5 Lift up, 0 gates,

Lift up your heads on high ; Yea, lift them up,

Doors of eternity ! Then he, the King

Of glory, shall come in ! Who can this King,

This King of glory be 1 The Lord of Hosts,

The King of glory he !

509 THE TEMPLE OF GOD.

BLESSED City, heavenly Salem, Vision dear of peace and love,

Who of living stones art builded In the holy heavenly home,

And with angel hosts encircled, As a bride" to eaTth dost come.

2 Christ is made the sure Foundation,

And the precious Corner-stone ; Who, the twofold walls surmounting,

Binds them closely into one ; Holy Sion's help for ever,

And her coniidence alone.

3 To this Temple, where we call thee,

Come, 0 Lord of Hosts, to-day ! With thy wonted loving-kindness

Hear thy servants as they pray ; And thy fullest benedictions

Shed within these walls for aye.

1 Here vouchsafe to all thy servants What they supplicate, to gain ;

Here to have and hold for ever

Those good things theirprayers obtain,

And hereafter, in thy glory,

With thy blessed ones to reign.

510 THE LAMBS OF THE FLOCK.

GRACIOUS Saviour, holy Shepherd,

Little ones are dear to thee j Gathered with thine arms, and carried

In thy bosom, may they be Sweetly, fondly, safely tended,

From all want and danger free. ! Tender Shepherd, never leave them

From thy fold to go astray : By thy warning love directed,

May they walk the narrow way : Thus direct them, thus defend them,

Lest they fall an easy prey. Taught to lisp the holy praises

WTiich on earth thy children sing, Both with lips and hearts unfeigned,

Glad thank-offerings may they bring ; Then with all the saints in glory

Join to praise their Lord and King.

DOXOLOGY.

NOW to him who loved us— gave us Every pledge that love could give ;

Freely shed his blood to save us. Gave his life that we might live —

Be the kingdom, and dominion, And the glory evermore.

511 FOR GUIDANCE.

GENTLY, Lord, 0 gently lead us,

Through this gloomy vale of tears, Through the changes thou'st decreed us,

Till our last great change appears. 0 refresh us with thy blessing,

0 refresh us with thy grace, May thy mercies, never ceasing,

Fit us for thy dwelling-place. When temptation's darts assail us,

When in devious paths we stray, Let thy goodness never fail us,

Lead us in the perfect way. In the hour of pains and anguish,

In the hour when death is near, Sutler not our hearts to languish,

Suffer not our souls to fear. When this mortal life is ended,

Bid us in thine arms to rest, Till, by angel bands attended,

We awake among the blest. Then, 0 crown us with thy blessing,

Through the triumphs of thy grace ; Then shall praises, never ceasing

Echo through thy dwelling-place.

512 L0VE T0 CHRIST.

SOMETHING every heart is loving, — If not Jesus, none can rest :

Lord, my heart to thee is given, Take it, for it loves thjse best. ! Thus I cast the world behind me, Jesus most beloved shall be ;

Beauteous more than all things beau- He alone is joy to me. [teous,

Bright with all eternal radiance

Is the glory of thy face — Thou art loving, sweet, and tender,

Full of pity, full of grace. YvTien I hated, thou didst love me,

Shedd'st for me thy precious blood ; Still thou lovest, lovest ever, —

Shall I not love thee, my God ?

Keep my heart still faithful to thee, That my earthly life may be

But a shadow to that glory Of my hidden life in thee.

513 PRAYER F0R QUICKENING.

LORD, I hear of showers of blessing Thou art scattering, full and free —

Showers, the thirsty land refreshing ; Let some droppings fall on me.

Pass me not, 0 God, our Father !

Sinful though my heart may be ; Thou might'st leave me, but the rather

Let thy mercy light on me.

Pass me not, 0 gracious Saviour !

Let me live and cling to thee ; For I'm longing for thy favour ;

Whilst thou'rt calling, oh ! call me.

Pass me not, 0 mighty Spirit !

Thou canst make the blind to see : Witnesser of Jesus' merit !

Speak some word of power to me.

Love of God — so pure and changeless ;

Blood of Christ— so rich, so free ; Grace of God — so strong and boundless,

Magnify it all in me.

514 THE GREATNESS OF GOD. JOB XXYI.

"WHO can resist the Almighty arm That made the starry sky I

Or who elude the certain glance Of God's all-seeing eye ?

2 From him no covering vails our crimes ;

Hell opens to his sight ; And all destruction's secret snares Lie full disclosed in light.

3 Firm on the boundless void of space

He poised the steady pole, And in the circle of his clouds Bade secret waters roll.

4 While nature's universal frame

Its Maker's power reveals, His throne, remote from mortal eyes, An awful cloud conceals.

5 From where the rising day ascends,

To where it sets in night, He compasses the floods with bounds, And checks their threatening might.

6 The pillars that support the sky

Tremble at his rebuke ; Through all its caverns quakes the earth, As though its centre shook.

7 He brings the waters from their beds,

Although no tempest blows, And smites the kingdom of the proud Without the hand of foes.

8 Few of his works can we survey J

These few our skill transcend ; But the full thunder of his power What heart can comprehend ?

515 PSALM XVIII.

0 GOD, my strength and fortitude, Of force I must love thee ;

Thou art my castle and defence, In my necessity.

2 The Lord Jehovah is my God,

My rock, my strength, my wealth j My strong deliverer, and my trust, My spirit's only health.

3 In my distress I sought my God,

I sought Jehovah's face ; My cry before him came ; he heard

Out of his holy place. ■4 The Lord descended from above,

And bowed the heavens most high, And underneath his feet he cast

The darkness of the sky.

5 On cherub and on cherubim

Full royally he rode, And on the wings of mighty Avinds Came flying all abroad.

6 The voice of God did thunder high,

The lightnings answered keen ; The channels of the deep were bared, The world's foundations seen.

7 And so delivered he my soul :

Who is a rock but he 1 He liveth — Blessed be my Rock ! My God exalted be !

D0X0L0GY.

TO Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom we adore,

Be glory as it was, is now, And shall be evermore.

516 Christ's humiliation. YE who the name of Jesus bear,

His sacred steps pursue ; And let that mind which was in him Be also found in you. ! Though in the form of God he was His only Son declared, Nor to be equally adored As robbery did regard ; — \ His greatness he for us abased, For us his glory veiled ; In human likeness dwelt on earth, His majesty concealed. [ Nor only as a man appears, But stoops a servant low ; Submits to death, nay, bears the cross, In all its shame and woe. ) Hence God this generous love to men With honours just hath crowned, And raised the name of Jesus far Above all names renowned : 3 That at this name, with sacred awe, Each humble knee should bow, Of hosts immortal in the skies, And nations spread below : 7 That all the prostrate powers of hell Might tremble at his word, And every tribe and every tongue Confess that he is Lord,

517 THE COMFORTER.

YOIT now must hear my voice no more My Father calls me home ;

But soon from heaven the Holy Ghost. Your Comforter, shall come. 15

2 That heavenly Teacher, sent from God,

Shall your whole soul inspire ; Your minds shall fill with sacred truth, Your hearts with sacred fire.

3 Peace is the gift I leave with you ;

My peace to you bequeath ; [life, Peace that shall comfort you through And cheer your souls in death.

I give not as the world bestows, With promise false and vain ;

Nor cares, nor fears, diall wound the In which my words aemain. [heart

GOD IS LIGHT.

518

"WHEN from the silent realm of shade Sprang forth the world so fair,

In robes of brilliancy arrayed, What power divine was there !

2 When he who gave his guiltless Son

A guilty world to spare, Restored to life the Holy One, "What love divine was there !

3 When forth from its Creator's hand,

The earth in beauty stood, All decked with light at his command, He saw and called it good.

4 But still more lovely in his sight,

The Church now stands renewed, Since he, the Lamb, hath made it white, In his atoning blood.

5 0 holy, blessed Three in One,

May thy pure light be given, That we the paths of death may shim, And keep the way to heaven.

WHEN the weary, seeking rest,

To thy goodness flee ; When the heavy laden cast

All their load on thee ; When the troubled, seeking peace,

On thy name shall call ; When the sinner, seeking life,

At thy feet shall fall : Hear then, in love, 0 Lord, the cry, In heaven, thy dwelling-place on high. I When the worldling, sick at heart,

Lifts his soul above ; When the prodigal looks back

To his father's love ; When the proud man, from his pride,

Stoops to seek thy face ; When the burdened brings his guilt

To thy throne of grace : Hear then, in love, O Lord, the cry, In heaven, thy dwelling-place on high.

HEAR, THOU, IN HEAVEN.7

When the stranger asks a home,

All his toils to end ; When the hungry craveth food,

And the poor a friend ; When the sailor on the wave

Bows the fervent knee ; When the soldier on the field

Lifts his heart to thee : Hear then, in love, 0 Lord, the cry, In heaven, thy dwelling-place on high. When the man of toil and care

In the city crowd ; When the shepherd on the moor

Names the name of God ; When the learned and the high,

Tired of earthly fame, Upon higher joys intent,

Name the blessed name : Hear then, in love, 0 Lord, the cry, In heaven, thy dwelling-place on high.

22^

When the child, with grave fresh lip,

Youth, or maiden fair ; When the aged, weak and grey,

Seek thy face in prayer ; When the widow weeps to thee,

Sad and lone and low j When the orphan brings to thee

All his orphan woe : Hear then, in love, 0 Lord, the cry, In heaven, thy dwelling-place on high.

When creation, in her pangs,

Heaves her heavy groan ; When thy Salem's exiled sons

Breathe their hitter moan ; When thy waiting, weeping Church,

Looking for a home, Sendeth up her silent sigh,

Come, Lord Jesus, come ! Hear then, in love, 0 Lord, the cry, In heaven, thy dwelling-place on high.

THE KINGDOM OF MESSIAH.

SEND out thy light and truth, 0 God, With sound of trumpet from above : Break not the nations with thy rod, But drawthem with the cords of love : Justice and mercy meet ;

The work is well begun ; Through every clime their feet Who bring glad tidings run ; Here as in heaven thy will be done.

Before thee bid the idols fall ;

Rend the false prophet's veil of lies; The fulness of the Gentiles call ; Be Israel saved, let Jacob rise. Thy kingdom come indeed ;

Thy Church with union bless ; Let Scripture be her creed, And every tongue confess One Lord, the Lord our Righteousness.

Now, for the travail of his soul,

Messiah's peaceful reign advance ; From sea to sea, from pole to pole, He claims his pledged inheritance ; 0 thou most mighty, gird

Thy sword upon thy thigh, That two-edged blade, thy word, By which thy foes shall die, To be new-born beneath thine eye.

So perish all thine enemies ;

Their enmity alone be slain ; Them with thy arm of mercy seize ; Breathe, till their souls revive again ; So may thy friends at length, Oft smitten, oft o'erthrown, Go like the sun in strength, Conquering to conquer on, ri ill all bow down before thy throne.

PRAISE TO JEHOVAH.

PRAISE ye Jehovah, praise the Lord most holy,

Who cheers the contrite, girds with strength the weak ;

Praise him who will with glory crown the lowly, And with salvation beautify the meek.

2 'Praise ye the Lord, for all Iris loving-kindness, And all the tender mercies he hath shown ; Praise him who pardons all our sin and blindness, And calls us sons, and takes us for his own.

,3 Praise ye Jehovah ! source of every blessing, — Before his gifts earth's richest boons are dim ; Resting in him, his peace and joy possessing, All things are ours, for we have all in him.

4 Praise ye the Father ! God the Lord who gave us, With full and perfect love, his only Son ; Praise ye the Son who died himself to save us ! Praise ye the Spirit ! praise the Three in One.

232 INDEX OF ]

Happy they who trust in Jesus

Happy the souls to Jesus joined

Hark, how the adoring hosts above

Hark, my soul, it is the Lord

Hark the glad sound, the Saviour comes

Hark ! the herald angels sing

Hark ! the song of jubilee

Hark ! through the courts of heaven

Hark ! what mean those holy voices

Hasten, Lord, that morn of glory

Heal us, Immanuel, we draw nigh

Hear what God the Lord hath spoken

Heave, mighty ocean, heave

He has come, the Christ of God

Heralds of creation, cry

Here all our gifts imperfect are

Here, 0 my Lord, I see thee face to face

He who erected heaven's bright arch

Ho ! ye that thirst, approach the spring

Holy Father, mighty God

Holy Ghost, dispel our sadness

Holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty

Holy Spirit, source of light

Hope of our hearts, O Lord, appear

Hosanna, Lord ! thou Prince of Peace

Hosanna ! raise the joyful hymn

Hosanna to the living Lord

Hosanna to the Prince of light

How are my troubles multiplied, 0 Lord

How are thy servants blest, 0 Lord

How beauteous are their feet

How bright these glorious spirits shine

How few receive, with cordial faith

How glorious Zion's courts appear

How great a being, Lord, is thine

How pleasant, how divinely fair

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

How sweetly doth he show his face

How wretched was our former state

I'm not ashamed to own my Lord

I fain would find thee, O my God

If God himself be for me

If human kindness meets return

I give thee back thine own again

I beard the voice of Jesus say

I lay my sins on Jesus

I need thee, precious Jesus

In evil long I took delight

In the dark and silent night

In the day when trouble 's nigh

In thy name, O Lord, asseinbling

In time of tribulation

I once was a stranger to grace and to God

Jehovah bless

Take me, 0 ray Father, take me

Thanks will I unto thee Ps. ix.

The billows swell, the winds are high

The Church's one foundation

Thee, Jehovah, thee adoring

The gloomy night will soon be past

The glory of God these bright heavens Ps. xix.

The God of Abraham praise

The God of harvest praise

The head that once was crowned with thorns

The heavens declare his glory 4 Ps. xix.

The King of heaven his table spreads

The Lord ascendeth up on high

The Lord is risen indeed !

The Lord my pasture shall prepare Ps. xxiii.

The Lord of might from Sinai's brow

The Lord will come, the earth shall quake

The Lord will come and not be slow Ps. Ixxxv.

The race that long in darkness pined

The roseate hues of early dawn

The sands of time are sinking

The Son of God goes forth to war

The spacious firmament on high Ps. xix.

The Spirit breathes upon the word

There is a blessed home

There is a fountain filled with blood

There is a land of pure delight

There is a name I love to hear

There's not a bird, with lonely nest

This is the day of toil

Thou art gone up on high

Thou art the living way

Thou art the way ; by thee alone

Thou, Christ, the great Jehovah art

Though perfect eloquence adorned

Though troubles assail

Thou glorious Sun of righteousness

Thou hidden love of God, whose height

Thou, whose Almighty word

Through all the changing scenes of life Ps. xxxiv.

Through good report and evil, Lord

Thus spoke the Saviour of the world

Thy ceaseless unexhausted love

Thy goodness, Lord, our souls confess

To God the only wise

To God be glory, peace on earth

INDEX or TIRST LINES.

To him that chose us first

To him that loved the souls of men

To thee, 0 Lord, loud praise ascendeth

'Twas on that night, when doomed to know

'Twas thy love, 0 God, that knew us

Unto the eternal hills Ps. cxxi.

Upward, where the stars are burning

Yain are the hopes the sons of men

Wake, awake, for night is flying

We all, like sheep, had gone astray

Weary of wandering from my God

We cannot always trace the way

We give immortal praise

Welcome, sweet day of rest

We leave now behind us the world and its crowd

We leave thy courts, 0 Lord

We praise, we worship thee, 0 God

We sing the praise of Him who died

We speak of the realms of the blest

What grace, 0 Lord, and beauty shone

What is life, 'tis but a vapour

What sinners value, I resign

What though no flowers the fig-tree clothe

When all thy mercies, 0 my God

When from the silent realm of shade

When gathering clouds around I view

When God arose, the nation Ps. cxxvi.

When I can read my title clear

When Israel, by divine command

When I survey the wondrous cross

When Jehovah turned again Ps. cxxvi.

When languor and disease invade

When my appointed hour is come

When the last trumpet's awful voice

When the weary seeking rest

When this passing world is done

Where high the heavenly temple stands

Where shall I look for holy calm

Where two or three, with sweet accord

While humble shepherds watched their flocks

Who can resist the Almighty arm

Why should the children of a King

With songs of grateful praise

Work while it is to-day

Ye heavens, send forth your song of praise

Ye servants of the Lord

Yes ! the Redeemer rose

Ye who the name of Jesus bear

You now must hear my voice no more

Your harps, ye trembling saints

Zion's King shall reign victorious

thou wilt thy blessing yield : With favour thou wilt compass him about, as with a shield.

But, Lord, how long stay wilt thou make?

SONG OF SIMEON.

NOW, Lord! according to thy word,

Let me in peace depart ; Mine eyes have thy salvation seen,

And gladness fills my heart.

2 At length my arms embrace my Lord,

Now let their vigour cease ;

At last my eyes my Saviour see.

Now let them close in peace.

3 This great salvation, long prepared,

And now disclosed to view, Hath proved thy love was constant still, And promises were true.

4 That Sun I now behold, whose light

Shall heathen darkness chase; And rays of brightest glory pour Around thv chosen race.

VAIN are the hopes the sons of men Upon their works have built;

Their hearts by nature are unclean, Their actions full of guilt.

2 Silent let Jew and Gentile stand,

Without one vaunting word ; And, humbled low, confess their guilt Before heaven's righteous Lord.

3 No hope can on the law be built

Of justifying grace;

The law. that shows the sinner's guilt, Condemns him to his face.

When in thy name we trust, Our faith receives a righteousness That makes the sinner just.

5 And shall we then go on to sin,

That grace may more abound ? Great God, forbid that such a thought Should in our breast be found !

6 With Christ the Lord we died to sin ;

With him to life we rise, — To life, which now begun on earth, Is perfect in the skies.

7 Too long enthralled to Satan's sway,

We now are slaves no more ; For Christ hath vanquished death and Our freedom to restore. [sin,

SONG OF SIMEON.

NOW, Lord ! according to thy word,

Let me in peace depart ; Mine eyes have thy salvation seen,

And gladness fills my heart.

2 At length my arms embrace my Lord,

Now let their vigour cease ;

At last my eyes my Saviour see,

Now let them close in peace.

3 This great salvation, long prepared,

And now disclosed to view, Hath proved thy love was constant still, And promises were true.

4 That Sun I now behold, whose light

Shall heathen darkness chase; And rays of brightest glory pour Around thy chosen race.
