preface

Each generation of Christians emphasizes a particular aspect of the everlasting Gospel. Our own lays the stress upon the Kingdom of God. We have been led to believe that, as the Kingdom was the burden of our Lord's message, it should be the burden of His Church's prayer and praise. This book is an attempt to furnish the Church with a hymnal in which Christian communion with God is viewed as fellowship with the Father and the Son in the estab- lishment of the Kingdom.

The editors have sought to make a small collection of large hymns. We have carefully examined several thousand hymns which have found a place in the worship of English-speaking churches during the last two hundred years. We have respected the sacred canon of Christian experience. We have felt that the older and the more widely used a hymn is, the more suited is it to common worship, and the better adapted to manifest and to promote the unity of the Church of Christ. We have striven, however, to include only hymns which are poetically beautiful, which express a normal and healthy spiritual experience, contain no divisive theolog}^, and are specific- ally Christian in religion.

In arranging the music we have been governed by the principle that it is better to select than to multiply tunes. The average con- gregation should find no difficulty in using all the tunes in this book. Most of them are already familiar. There are some new tunes, but few of these are of recent composition. The great English composers of Church music of the last century are well represented, and the book contains a large number of older tunes, — traditional German, English, French, Welsh and Dutch melo- dies, and tunes from the Genevan, Scottish and American psalters. We have tried to set the hymns to those tunes which have proved best fitted to bring out their meaning with effectiveness and dignity. Wherever possible we have placed hymns of the same metre upon opposite pages in order to offer a choice of music.

The text of each hymn has been traced back, as far as we were able, to its first edition. All changes have been carefully noted. If

iii

pretace

the author lias sanctioned a change, the fact is indicated by the presence of two dates following his name. We have introduced no changes into familiar hymns save in a few instances where we have restored the author's original text and substituted it for the altered form which editors have published. We have also attempted to give the correct authorship or source, and the date of the tunes.

A small selection of children's hymns has been included because, while the editors believe that children should be taught the great hymns in the Sunday School, and so trained to join in the public worship of the Church, they also believe that in the Church service a hymn should occasionally be sung, which is especially adapted to their religious experience, in order that they may feel at home in the house of God. Such hymns often help older people to turn and become as little children.

This hymnal is sent forth in the hope that it will assist the Church of to-day to praise God heartily, intelligently and sincerely, to sing with the Spirit and with the understanding hymns which utter living convictions and which consecrate those who sing them to the purpose of Jesus Christ.

2 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.

3 The earth with its store of wonders untold. Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old, Hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree. And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.

4 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.

5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail. In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!

VV Address the Lord on high ! Over the heavens He spreads His cloud,

And waters veil the sky. He sends His showers of blessing down

To cheer the plains below; He makes the grass the mountains crown,

And corn in valleys grow.

2 His steady counsels change the face

Of the declining year; He bids the sun cut short his race. And wintry days appear.

His hoary frost, His fleecy snow, Descend and clothe the ground;

The liquid streams forbear to flow, In icy fetters bound.

He sends His word and melts the snow,

The fields no longer mourn; He calls the warmer gales to blow.

And bids the spring return. The changing wind, the flying cloud,

Obey His mighty word: With songs and honors sounding loud.

Praise ye the sovereign Tjord !

2 The Lord is King! who then shall dare Resist His will, distrust His care,

Or murmur at His wise decrees, Or doubt His royal promises?

3 The Lord is King! child of the dust, The Judge of all the earth is just; Holy and true are all His ways:

Let every creature speak His praise.

4 0 when His wisdom can mistake. His might decay, His love forsake, Then may His children cease to sing, "The Lord omnipotent is King! "

5 Alike pervaded by His eye, All parts of His dominion lie;

This world of ours and worlds unseen, And thin the boundary between.

6 One Lord, one empire, all secures;

He reigns, and life and death are yours; Through earth and heaven one song shall ring, "The Lord omnipotent is King!"

1 r\ GOD, Thou Giver of all good, ^ Thy children live by daily food; Aod daily must the prayer be said, "Give us this day our daily bread."

2 The life of earth and seed is Thine; Suns glow, rains fall, by power divine; Thou art in all; not even the powers By which we toil for bread are ours.

3 What large provision Thou hast made! As large as is Thy children's need; How wide Thy bounteous love is spread! Wide as the want of daily bread.

4 Since every day by Thee we live, May grateful hearts Thy gifts receive; And may the hands be pure from stain With which our daily bread we gain.

Praise the Lord, for He is kind; For His mercies aye endure, Ever faithful, ever sure.

2 Let us blaze His name abroad, For of gods He is the God ; Who by all-commanding might, Filled the new-made world with light.

3 He the golden -tressed sun Caused all day his course to run ; Th' horned moon to shine by night, 'Mid her spangled sisters bright.

4 He His chosen race did bless, In the wasteful wilderness; He hath, with a piteous ej'e. Looked ui)on our misery.

And shout perpetual songs; Him first they own,

2 "0 holy, holy Lord,

Creation's sovereign King! Thy majesty adored Let all creation sing; Who wast, and art, And art to be; Nor time shall see Thy sway depart. ' '

3 "Great are Thy works of praise,

0 God of boundless might; All just and true Thy ways. Thou King of saints, in light:

Let all above,

Conspire to show Thy power and love. ' '

4 "Who shall not fear Thee, Lord,

And magnify Thy name ? Thy judgments, sent abroad. Thy holiness proclaim: Nations shall throng From every shore, And all adore In one loud song."

5 While thus the powers on liigh

Their swelling chorus raise. Let earth and man reply. And echo back the praise: His glory own. First, last, and best, God ever blest, And God alone.

In whom His world rejoices; Who, from our mother's arms,

Through all our life be near lis, With ever joyful hearts

And blessed peace to cheer us;

And on His will attend, Until we there arrive,

Where song shall have no end.

1 T\/^HEN all Thy mercies, 0 my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love and praise.

4 When worn with sickness, oft hast Thou With health renewed my face; And, when in sins and sorrows sunk, Revived my soul with grace.

2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed.

5 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart That tastes those gifts with joy.

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.

6 Through every period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue : And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew.

7 Through all eternity, to Thee

A joyful song I'll raise;

For, 0, eternity's too short

To utter all Thy praise!

And bowed the heavens 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 winds Came flying all abroad.

That so I might be free; And kept me safe, because He had A favor unto me.

My rising and my resting hours,

My heart and flesh, with all their powers.

2 My thoughts, before they are my own, Are to my God distinctly known ;

He knows the words I mean to speak, Ere fi'om my opening lips they break.

3 Within Thy circling power I stand; On every side I find Thy hand : Awake, asleep, at home, abroad,

1 am surrounded still with God.

4 Amazing knowledge, vast and great ! What large extent, what lofty height! My soul, with all the powers I boast, Is in the boundless propect lost.

5 0 may these thoughts possess my breast. Where'er I rove, where'er I rest!

Nor let my weaker passions dare Consent to sin, for God is there.

Our dwelling-place serene: Before Thy first creations,

0 Lord, the same as now, To endless generations

The everlasting Thou!

2 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.

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.

Uphold me in the way; Bring me in spite of foes at length To joy, and light, and day.

6 0 everlasting Love,

Wellspring of grace and peace, Pour down Thy fulness from above: Bid doubt and trouble cease.

With deepest, tenderest fears. And worship Thee with trembUng hope, And penitential tears !

3 Yet I may love Thee too, 0 Lord,

Almighty as Thou art. For Thou hast stooped to ask of me The love of my poor heart.

4 No earthly father loves like Thee,

No mother half so mild Bears and forbears, as Thou hast done, With me, Thy sinful child.

5 0 then this worse than worthless heart

In pity deign to take, And make it love Thee for Thyself, And for Thy glory's sake !

Above, in heaven, Thy throne.

2 Thy word is love; in lines of gold

There mercy prints its trace;

In nature we Thy steps behold,

The gospel shows Thy face.

3 Thy ways are love; though they transcend

Our feeble range of sight. They wind, through darkness, to their end In everlasting light.

4 Thy thoughts are love; and Jesus is

The living voice they find: His love lights up the vast abyss Of the eternal Mind.

5 Thy chastisements are love; more deep

They stamp the seal divine, And by a sweet compulsion keep Our spirits nearer Thine.

6 Thy heaven is the abode of love;

0 blessed Lord, that we May there, when time's deep shades remove. Be gathered home to Thee !

Inly I sigh for Thy repose; My heart is pained, nor can it be At rest till it finds rest in Thee.

2 'Tis mercy all, that Thou hast brought My mind to seek her peace in Thee; Yet while I seek, but find Thee not,

No peace my wandering soul shall see: O when shall all my wanderings end. And all my steps to Thee-ward tend !

That strives with Thee my heart to share ? Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone,

The Lord of every motion there; Then shall my heart from earth be free, When it has found repose in Thee.

4 O Love, Thy sovereign aid impart

To save me from low-though ted care; Chase this self-will through all my heart,

Through all its latent mazes there; Make me Thy duteous child, that I, Ceaseless, may "Abba, Father 1 " cry.

Each moment draw from earth away

My heart, that lowly waits Thy call: Speak to my inmost soul, and say,

"I am thy Love, thy God, thy All !" To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice, To taste Thy love, be all my choice.

Are but reflections caught from Thee: Where'er we turn, Thy glories shine, And all things fair and bright are Thine.

2 When day, with farewell beam, delays

Among the opening clouds of even. And we can almost think we gaze

Through golden vistas into heaven, — Those hues, that make the sun's decline So soft, so radiant, Lord, are Thine.

3 When night, with wings of starry gloom,

O'ershadows all the earth and skies, Like some dark beauteous bird, whose plume

Is sparkling with unnumbered eyes, — That sacred gloom, those fires divine, So grand, so countless, Lord, are Thine.

4 When youthful spring around us breathes,

Thy Spirit Avarms her fragrant sigh, And every flower the summer wreathes

Is born beneath that kindling eye: Where'er we turn, Thy glories shine. And all things fair and bright are Thine.

From a love so true and deep ? It is God: His love looks mighty,

But is mightier than it seems; 'Tis our Father: and His fondness

Goes far out bej'^ond our dreams.

2 There's a wideness in God's mercy

Like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in His justice,

Which is more than liberty. There is no place where earth's sorrows

Are more felt than up in heaven; There is no place where earth's fillings

Have such kindly judgment given.

3 There is grace enough for thousands

Of new worlds as great as this; There is room for fresh creations

In that upper home of bliss: For the love of God is broader

Than the measure of man's mind. And the heart of the Eternal

Is most wonderfully kind.

4 But we make His love too narrow

By false limits of our own; And we magnify His strictness

With a zeal He will not own. If our love were but more simple,

We should take Him at His word; And our lives would be all sunshine

In the sweetness of our Lord.

Let every heart prepare a throne. And every voice a song.

2 On Him the Spirit, largely poured,

Exerts its sacred fire; Wisdom and might, and zeal and love, His holy breast inspire.

3 He comes, the prisoners to release

In Satan's bondage held; The gates of brass before Him burst. The iron fetters yield.

4 He comes, from the thick films of vice

To clear the mental ray. And on the eye-balls of the blind To pour celestial day.

5 He comes, the broken heart to bind,

The bleeding soul to cure; And with the treasures of His grace To enrich the humble poor.

6 Our glad hosannas. Prince of Peace,

Thy welcome shall proclaim; And heaven's eternal arches ring With Thy beloved name.

That we may rise to heaven from earth.

Like Thine own angels round Thee shine.

All praise and love is His; While Him I love, in Him I live. And cannot live amiss.

3 Though young yet wise, though small yet strong. Though man yet God He is; As wise He knows, as strong He can.

As God He loves to bless: His knowledge rules, His strength defends.

His love doth cherish all; His birth our joy, His life our light, His death our end of thrall.

2 Love's sweetest mark, laud's highest theme, 4

Man's most desired hght. To love Him life, to leave Him death,

To live in Him delight. He mine by gift, I His by debt,

Thus each to other due, First Friend He was, best Friend He is.

All times will try Him true.

Alas, He weeps. He sighs. He pants!

Yet do His angels sing; Out of His tears, His sighs and throbs.

Doth bud a joyful spring. Almighty Babe, whose tender ai-ms

Can force all foes to fly, Correct my faults, protect my life.

Direct me when I die.

1 A THOUSAND years have come and gone, -i^ And near a thousand more,

Since happier light from heaven shone

Than ever shone before: And in the hearts of old and young

A joy most joyful stirred, That sent such news from tongue to tongue

As ears had never heard.

2 Then angels on their starry way

Felt bliss unfelt before, For news that men should be as they,

To darkened earth they bore; So toiling men and spirits bright

A first communion had,' And in meek mercy's rising light

Were each exceeding glad.

3 And we are glad, and we will sing.

As in the days of yore; Come all, and hearts made ready bring,

To welcome back once more The day when first on wintry earth

A summer change began. And dawning in a lowly birth,

Uprose the Light of man.

4 For trouble such as men must bear

From childhood to fourscore, He shared with us, that we might share

His joy for evermore; And twice a thousand years of grief,

Of conflict, and of sin, May tell how large the harvest sheaf

His patient love shall win.

1 TT came upon the midnight clear, -■- That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth,

To touch their harps of gold : "Peace on the earth, good-will to men,

From heaven's all-gracious King!" The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing.

2 Still through the cloven skies they come.

With peaceful wings unfurled, All still their heavenly music floats

O'er all the weary world. Above its sad and lowly plains

They bend on hovering wing, And ever o'er it's Babel-sounds

The blessed angels sing.

3 Yet with the woes of sin and strife,

The world has suffered long; Beneath the angel-strain have rolled Two thousand years of wrong;

And man, at war with man, hears not The love-song which they bring:

O hush the noise, ye men of strife. And hear the angels sing!

4 And ye, beneath life's crushing load.

Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way,

With painful steps and slow, Look now ! for glad and golden hours

Come swiftly on the wing : 0 rest beside the weary road

And hear the angels sing]!

5 For lo! the days are hastening on,

By prophet-bards foretold. When with the ever-circling years

Comes round the age of gold ; When peace shall over all the earth

Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world send back the song

Which now the angels sing.

And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep

Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together

Proclaim the holy birth; And praises sing to God the King,

And peace to men on earth.

How silently, how silently.

The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts

The blessing of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming,

But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him

The dear Christ enters in.

Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our our sin, and enter in.

Hither come, ye poor and wretched;

Know His will

Here forget

All regret, Fill your hearts with treasure.

Blessed Saviour, let me find Thee;

Keep Thou me

Close to Thee, Cast me not behind Thee. Life of life, my heart Thou stillest

Calm I rest

On Thy breast, All this void Thou fillest.

Soft and sweet

Doth entreat, "Flee from want and danger; Brethren come, from all doth grieve you

You are freed,

All you need I will surely give you. ' '

Here let all. Great and small. Kneel in awe and wonder.

1 T^ROM the eastern mountains, ±- Pressing on, they come, Wise men in their wisdom.

To His humble home; Stirred by deep devotion,

Hasting from afar. Ever journeying onward.

Guided by a star. Light of life that sliineth

Ere the worlds began. Draw Thou near, and lighten

Every heart of man.

2 Thou who in a manger.

Once hast lowly lain, Who dost now in glory

O'er all kingdoms reign, Gather in the neathen,

Who in lands afar

Ne'er have seen the brightness Of Thy guiding star.

3 Gather in the outcasts,

All who've gone astray; Throw Thy radiance o'er them;

Guide them on their way. Those who never knew Thee,

Those who've wandered far, Guide them by the brightness

Of Thy guiding star.

4 Until every nation.

Whether bond or free, 'Neath Thy starlit banner,

Jesus, follows Thee O'er the distant mountains

To that heavenly home. Where no sin nor sorrow

Evermore shall come.

' ' On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my my pride.

2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,

Save in the death of Christ my God: All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood.

3 Sec, from His head. His hands. His feet,

Sorrow and love flow mingled down: Did e'er such love and son-ow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

4 His dying crimson like a robe,

Spreads o'er His body on the tree; Then am I dead to all the globe. And all the globe is dead to me.

5 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.

2 Lives again our glorious King: Where, 0 death, is now thy sting? Dying once. He all doth save: Where thy victory, O grave?

3 Love's redeeming vrork is done, Fo".ght the fight, the battle won;

Death in vain forbids Him rise; Christ has opened Paradise.

4 Soar we now, where Clirist has led, Following our exalted Head; Made like Him, like Him we rise, Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.

5 King of glory. Soul of bliss, Everlasting life is this.

Thee to know. Thy power to prove. Thus to sing, and thus to love.

2 Earth with joy confesses, clothing her for spring. All good gifts return with her returning King; Bloom in every meadow, leaves on every bough. Speak His sorrows ended, hail His triuniijh now. Hell to-day is vanquished; heaven is won to-day.

3 Months in due succession, days of lengthening light. Hours and passing moments praise Thee in their flight; Brightness of the morning, sky and fields and sea. Vanquisher of darkness, bring their praise to Thee. "Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say.

4 Loose the souls long prisoned, bound with Satan's chain; All that now is fallen, raise to life again;

Show Thy face in brightness, bid the nations see; Bring again our daylight: day returns with Thee. Hell to-day is vanquished; heaven is won to-day.

And, listening to His accents. May hear, so calm and plain,

His own "All hail!" and hearing, IMay raise the victor-strain !

Let earth her song begin. Let the round world keep triumph,

And all that is therein; Invisible and visible,

Their notes let all things blend, For Christ the Lord hath risen,

Our joy that hath no end.

1 T SAY to all men, far and near, J- That He is risen again;

That He is with us, now and here, And ever shall remain.

2 And what I say, let each this morn

Go tell it to his friend, That soon in every place shall dawn His kingdom without end.

3 Now first to souls who thus awake

Seems earth a fatherland; A new and endless life they take With rapture from His hand.

4 The fears of death and of the grave

Are whelmed beneath the sea. And every heart, now light and brave, May face the things tp be.

5 The way of darkness that He trod

To heaven at last shall come, And he who hearkens to His word Shall reach His Father's home.

2 Li vain with stone the cave they barred; In vain the watch kept ward and guard: Majestic from the spoiled tomb,

In pomp of triumph Christ is come.

3 He binds in chains the ancient foe; A countless host He frees from woe, And heaven's high portal open flies, For Christ has risen, and man shall rise.

4 And all He did, and all He bare, He gives us as our own to share; And hope and joy and peace begin. For Christ has won, and man shall win.

5 0 Victor, aid us in the fight.

And lead through death to realms of light: We safely pass where Thou hast trod; In Thee we die to rise to God.

God hath brought His Israel

Into joy from sadness, Loosed from I^haraoh's bitter yoke

Jacob's sons and daughters. Led them with unmoistened foot

Through the Red Sea waters.

2 'Tis the spring of souls to-day:

Christ hath burst His prison, And from three days sleep in death

As a sun hath risen; All the winter of our sins.

Long and dark, is flying From His light, to whom we give

Laud and praise undying.

3 Now the queen of seasons, bright

With the day of splendor, With the royal feast of feasts.

Comes its joy to render; Comes to glad Jerusalem,

Who with true affection Welcomes in unwearied strains

Jesus' resurrection.

4 Neither might the gates of death,

Nor the tomb's dark portal, Nor the watchers, nor the seal,

Hold Thee as a mortal: But to-day amidst the Twelve

Thou didst stand, bestowing That Thy peace, which evermore

Passeth human knowing.

XI Has received Ilim from our siglit; High in heaven where eye of men Follows not, nor angels ken, Through the veils of time and space ]-*assed into the holiest ]ilace, — All the toil, the sorrow done, All the battle fought and won.

2 He is gone: and we remain In this world of sin and ]iain; In the void which He has left On this earth, of Him bereft. We have still His work to do; We can still His path pursue. Seek- Him both in friend and foe, In ourselves His image show.

He is gone: we heard Him say, "Good that I shoidd go away." Gone is that dear form and face, But not gone His present grace; Though Himself no more we see, Comfortless we cannot be: No, His Spirit still is ours. Quickening, freshening all our powers.

He is gone: toward their goal World and church must onward roll; Far behind we leave the past. Forward are our glances cast; Still His words before us range Through the ages, as they change, Whereso'er the truth shall lead, He will give whate'er we need.

And still He is nigh — His presence we have. The great congregation His triumph shall sing, Ascribing salvation to Jesus, our King.

3 Salvation to God, who sits on the throne! Let all cry aloud, and honor the Son. The praises of Jesus the angels proclaim.

Fall do.vu on their faces and worship the Lamb.

4 Then let us adore, and give Him His right. All glory and power, and wisdom and might, All honor and blessing, with angels above. And thanks never ceasing, and infinite love.

In a believer's ear! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his fear.

2 It makes the wounded spirit whole.

And calms the troubled breast; 'Tis manna to the hungry soul, And to the weary rest.

3 Dear name! the rock on which I build,

My shield and hiding-place, 3Iy never-failing treasury, filled With boundless stores of grace.

4 Jesus! my Shepherd, Brother, Friend,

My Prophet, Priest and King, My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, Accept the praise I bring.

5 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.

6 Till then I would Thy love proclaim

With every fleeting breath; And may the music of Thy name Refresh my soul in death.

Our lips of childhood frame; The last low whispers of our dead Are burdened with His name.

6 Our Lord and Master of us all,

Whate'er our name or sign, We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call. We test our lives by Thine.

Thy head upon ]My breast. ' ' 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.

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 thrist was quenched, my soul revived.

And now I live in Him.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,

"I am this dark world's Light; Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise.

And all thy days 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.

Whose precious blood redeemed me At such tremendous cost;

Thy righteousness, Thy pardon, Thy precious blood must be

My only hope and comfort. My glory and my plea.

2 I could not do without Thee,

I cannot stand alone, I have no strength or goodness,

No wisdom of my own; But Thou, beloved Saviour,

Art all in all to me. And weakness will be power, Jf leaning hard on Thee.

3 I could not do without Thee;

No other friend can read The spirit's strange, deep longings,

Intcr])reting its need; No human heart could enter

Each dim recess of mine, And soothe, and hush, and calm it,

0 blessed Lord, but Thine.

4 I could not do without Thee,

For years are fleeting fast. And soon in solemn loneness

The river must be passed; But Thou wilt never leave me,

And though the waves roll high, I know Thou wilt be near me.

And whisper, "It is I."

Hath put forth no power on Thee; Sages have supplanted sages, Thrones have been and ceased to be;

Still Thou teachest. Still abides Thy sovereignty.

Thy sweet sway, Lord Jesus, now; Freedom grows, but still Thou reignest;

Light spreads round, still shinest Thou: Souls most lofty To Thy gracious sceptre bow.

In the strife with sin and wrong, Never was our Brother dearer. Never was our King more strong;

Never held'st Thou Fuller sway o'er life and song.

With a wider, deeper sway; Lord than yesterday more glorious, King more mighty than to-day;

Thus for ever! More our life, our strength, our stay!

No sudden rending of the veil of clay, No angel-visitant, no opening skies; But take the dimness of my soul away.

3 Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh;

Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear. To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.

4 Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love, One holy passion filling all my frame, — The baptism of the heaven-descended Dove, My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame.

Till through the world Thy truth has run; Till Christ has all the nations blest That see the light or feel the sun.

With every grace endued.

'Mid toil and tribulation.

And tumult of her war. 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.

Yet she on earth hath union

With those whose rest is won: 0 happy ones and holy!

One little word shall fell him.

4 That word above all earthly powers.

No thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours

Through Him who with us sideth: Let goods and kindred go. This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still,

His kingdom is for ever.

Into the glory of the perfect day, Rule in our hearts that we may ever be Guided and strengthened and upheld b}' Thee.

2 We are of Thee, the children of Thy love.

The brothers of Thy well-beloved Son; Descend, 0 Holy Spirit, like a dove.

Into our hearts, that we may be as one, As one with Thee, to whom we ever tend; As one with Him, our Brother and our Friend.

3 We would be one in hatred of all wrong,

One in our love of all things sweet and fair; One with the joy that breaketh into song.

One with the grief that trembles into prayer; One in the power that juakes Thy children free To follow truth, and thus to follow Thee.

4 O clothe us with Thy heavenly armor. Lord,

Thy trusty shield, Thy sword of love divine; Our inspiration be Thy constant word;

We ask no victories that are not Thine: Give or withhold, let pain or pleasure be. Enough to know that we are serving Thee.

To win all nations unto thee; And through the truth that comes from God

Mankind shall then indeed be free: Faith of our fathers, holy faith. We will be true to thee till death.

By kindly words and virtuous life: Faith of our fathers, holy faith. We will be true to thee till death.

2 The fire divine, their steps that led,

3 The cleaving sins that brought them low

Are still our souls oppressing, The tears that from their eyes did flow

Fall fast, our shame confessing; As with Thee, Lord, prevailed their cry, So our strong prayer ascends on high,

And bringeth down Thy blessing.

4 Their joy unto their Lord we bring,

Tlieir song to us descendeth; The Spirit who in them did sing

To us His music lendeth : Ilis song in them, in us, is one; We raise it high, we send it on, —

The song that never endeth.

Ye saints to come, take up the strain. The same sweet theme endeavor;

Unbroken be the golden chain! Keep on the song for ever!

Safe in the same dear dwelling place,

Rich with the same eternal grace. Bless the same boundless Giver.

And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. Alleluia!

Throned upon a mother's knee. For the children Thou hast given We must answer unto Thee.

2 Since the day the blessed Mother

Thee, the world's Redeemer, bore. Thou hast crowned us with an honor

Women never knew before; And that we may bear it meetly

We must seek Thine aid the more.

3 Grant us, then, pure hearts and patient,

That in all we do or say Little souls our deeds may copy,

And be never led astray; Little feet our steps may follow

In a safe and narrow way.

4 When our growing sons and daughters

Look on life with eager eyes, Grant us then a deeper insight

And new powers of sacrifice, Hope to trust them, faith to guide them,

Love that nothing good denies.

5 May we keep our holy calling

Stainless in its fair renown. That when all the work is over

And we lay the burden down. Then the children Thou hast given

Still may b§ Qur joy and crown.

The sins that put to shame: 0 Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand, And guard and bless our fatherland.

Inflame with love's pure fire; Bind her once more in one,

And life and truth inspire: O Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand. And guard and bless our fatherland.

Insult Thy Majesty: 0 Lord, stretch forth Thy mighty hand, And guard and bless our fatherland.

And only man is vile: In vain with lavish kindness

How doth the Lord prevail ? How doth the Strength supernal

Come down into the fight? How dost Thou, King eternal,

Win victory for the right?

2 Some mighty man Thou fillest

With holy hate of wrong; Some tender soul Thou thrillest

With yearnings sweet and strong: This woe he must diminish,

This wrong he must o'erthrow, This warfare he must finish,

This evil power lay low.

3 The strength by Thee conferred

To others he imparts; The fire within him stirred

Doth kindle other hearts: By glowing souls attended

He rushes on the foe; The right is well defended,

The evil power laid low.

That warfare Thou dost share; That victory Thou speedest.

The Lord of hosts is there. Then send the Spirit fervent.

The fire that never fails; To lighten each true servant,

Until Thy cause prevails.

To set the captive free, To take away transgression,

And rule in equity.

He shall come down like showers

Upon the fruitful earth; And love, joy, hope, like flowers.

Spring in His path to birth; Before Him on the mountains

Shall peace, the herald, go; And righteousness in fountains

From hill to valley flow.

2 He comes with succor speedy

To those who suff"er 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.

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, —

That name to us is love.

His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more.

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.

In Thy name we assert our right By sword, or tongue, or pen,

And even the headsman's axe may flash Thy message unto men.

Thy will, — it bids the weak be strong;

It bids the strong be just: No lip to fawn, no hand to beg,

No brow to seek the dust. Wherever man oppresses man

Beneath the liberal sun, 0 Lord, be thei*e, Thine arm made bare,

Thy righteous will be done.

Seemed Jerusalem to lie — Yet 'twas there Thou cam'st to die, Jesus, Sou of Mary.

Wearied Son of Mary.

3 Yea, that whited city's pride, And its splendors multiplied. Meant but pain and pierced side

To Thee, Son of Mary.

4 And would all the crowded mart. Wealth and splendid ease and art Of our own world please Thj^ heart,

5 Would' st Thou call our boasting good. If Thou saw'st our triumphs stood On the wreck of brotherhood, Loving Son of Mary?

n Or would' st hold our wealth and pride Cheap because of love denied And Thy Spirit crucified.

Patient Son of Mary?

Wondrous tales of it are told: Only righteous men and women

Dwell within its gleaming wall; Wrong is banished from its borders.

Justice reigns supreme o'er all.

2 We are builders of that city;

All our joys and all our groans Help to rear its shining ramparts; All our lives are building-stones:

Whether humble or exalted. All are called to task divine;

All must aid alike to carry Forward one sublime design.

And the work that we have builded,

Oft with bleeding hands and tears, And in error and in anguish,

Will not perish with our years: It will last and shine transfigured

In the final reign of Eight; It will merge into the splendors

Of the City of the Light.

Streams ever coi)ious are gliding along; Loud from the mountain-tops echoes are ringing. Wastes rise in verdure, and mingle in song.

Their new and tender leaf; Hushed is the moaning wind

That told of winter's grief.

Now flames the darkening sky; The early scattered drops

Descend with heavy fall. And to the waiting earth

The hidden thunders call.

Of earth, and air, and sky; The God of glory comes

In gentleness and might, To comfort and alarm,

To succor and to smite.

And ancient wrong to end; He comes, to fill with light

The weary waiting eye: Lift up j'our heads, rejoice.

What social joys are there, What radiancy of glory,

What light beyond compare.

2 They stand, those halls of Zion,

Conjnbilant 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.

3 There is the throne of David;

And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph.

The siiout 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.

There God Himself gives light; There lust and lucre cannot dwell;

There envy bears no sway; There is no hunger, heat, nor cold,

But pleasure every way.

3 Thy gardens and thy gallant walks

Continually are green; There grow such sweet and ])leasant flowers As nowlicrc else are seen;

Quite through the streets with silver sound

The flood of life doth flow. Upon whose banks on every side

The wood of life doth grow.

4 Thy saints are crowned with glory great,

They see God fece to face; They triumph still, they still rejoice;

Most hajipy is their case; For there they live in such delight.

Such pleasure and such play, As that to them a thousand years

Doth seem as yesterday.

5 There Magdalene hath left her moan,

And cheerfully doth sing With blessed saints, whose harmony

In every street doth ring. Ah, my sweet homo Jerusalem,

Would (rod I were in thee! Would God my woes were at an end

Thy joys that I might see!

Precious hours in folly spent; Christian vow and fight unheeded; Scarce a thought to wisdom lent.

1 "DOCK of Ages, cleft for me, -'-*' Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy riven side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Cleanse me from its guilt and power.

Not the labors of my hands Can fulfil Thy law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know. Could my tears for ever flow. All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone.

3 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.

Let me hide myself in Thee.

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,

O receive my soul at last.

2 Other refuge have I none;

Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; 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

Witlvthe shadow of Thy wing,

3 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 T am,

Thou art full of truth and grace.

4 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.

Conscious of weakness, ignorance, sin and shame, Give such a force of holy thought and feeling, That we may live to glorify Thy name;

2 That we may conquer base desire and passion,

That we may rise from selfish thought and will, O'ercome the world's allurement, threat and fashion. Walk humbly, gently, leaning on Thy will.

3 0 let not all the pains and toils be wasted.

Spent on our life by saints now gone to rest. Nor that deep sorrow the Redeemer tasted, When on His soul the guilt of men was pressed!

4 Let all this goodness by our minds be heeded;

Let all this mercy on our hearts be sealed: Thy power, 0 Lord, can give the cleansing needed; 0 speak the word! Thy servants shall be healed.

1 T BOW my forehead to the dust, i I veil mine eyes for shame, And urge, in trembhng self-distrust,

A prayer without a claim ; I see the wrong that round me lies,

I feel the guilt within, I hear, with groan and travail-cries,

The world confess its sin ;

2 Yet, in the maddening maze of things.

And tossed by storm and flood. To one fixed trust my spirit clings;

I know that God is good. I dimly guess from blessings known.

Of greater out of sight, And with the chastened Psalmist own,

His judgments too are right.

3 I know not what the future hath

Of marvel or surprise, Assured alone that life and death

His mercy underlies; I know not where His islands lift

Their fronded palms in air; I only know I cannot drift

Beyond His love and care.

4 No offering of my own I have.

Nor works my faith to prove; I can but give the gifts He gave.

And plead His love for love: And Thou, O Lord, by whom are seen

Tliy creatures as they be. Forgive me if too close I lean

My human heart on Thee.

1 T EAD us, 0 Father, in the paths of peace:

Without Thy guiding hand we go astray, And doubts appal, and sorrows still increase;

Lead us through Christ, the true and living Way.

2 Lead us, 0 Father, in the paths of truth:

Unhelped by Thee, in error's maze we grope. While passion stains and folly dims our youth, And age comes on uncheered by faith and hope.

3 Lead us, 0 Father, in the paths of right:

Blindly we stumble when we walk alone, Involved in shadows of a moral night; Only with Thee we journey safely on.

4 Lead us, 0 Father, to Thy heavenly rest.

However rough and steep the path may be, Through joy or sorrow, as Thou deemest best. Until our lives are perfected in Thee.

Through which we blindly stumble to the day, Shadows mislead us: Father, send Thy light To set our footsteps in the homeward way.

2 Lighten the darkness of our self-conceit —

The subtle darkness that we love so well. Which shrouds the path of wisdom from our feet, And lulls our spirits with its baneful spell.

3 Lighten our darkness when we bow the knee

To all the gods we ignorantly make And worship, dreaming that we worship Thee, Till clearer light our slumbering souls awake.

4 Lighten our darkness when we fail at last,

And in the midnight lay us down to die; We trust to find Thee when the night is past. And daylight breaks across the morning sky

His all-discerning love has sent; Nor doubt our inmost wants are known

Builds on the rock that nought can move- To Him who chose us for His own.

3 He knows when joyful hours are best;

He sends them as He sees it meet; When thou hast borne the fiery test,

And now art freed from all deceit, He comes to thee all unaware, And makes thee own His loving care.

4 Sing, pray, and swerve not from His ways,

But do thine own part fiiithfully; Trust His rich promises of grace,

So shall they be fulfilled in thee; God never j'et forsook at need ^ The soul that trusted Him indeed.

O pity lue, storm-tossed on waves of ill;

Let passion cease; Come down in power within my heart to reign, For I am weak, and striving has been vain.

2 The days are gone, when far and wide my will

Drove me astray; And now I fain would climb the arduous hill.

That narrow way. Which leads through mists and rocks to Thine abode; Toiling for man, and Thee, Almighty God.

3 Whate'er of pain Thy loving hand allot

I gladly bear; Only, 0 Lord, let peace be not forgot,

Nor yet Thy care, Freedom from storms, and wild desires within, Peace from the fierce oppression of my sin,

4 So may I, far away, when evening falls

On life and love, Arrive at last the holy, happy halls,

With Thee above; Wounded yet healed, sin-laden yet forgiven, And sure that goodness is my only heaven.

5 0 Lord, I cast my care on Thee;

I triumph and adore: Henceforth my great concern shall be To love and please Thee more.

I live upon Thy truth; Thy hands have held my childhood up, And strengthened all my youth.

Repeated every year: Behold my days that yet remain, I trust them to Thy care.

3 Cast me not off when strength declines.

When hoary hairs arise; And round me let Thy glory shine Whene'er Thy servant dies.

4 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.

LONDON NEW C. M.

Playford's Psalms, 1671; adapted from ' Newtouri' in Psalmes of David, Edinburgh, 1635

1 f^ OD moves in a mj'sterious way

His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in tlie 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.

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.

William Cowper, 1774

2 When fond hopes fail and skies are dark before us,

When the vain cares that vex our lives increase, Comes with its calm the thought that Thou art o'er us, And we grow quiet, folded in Thy peace.

3 Naught shall affright us on Thy goodness leaning;

Low in the heart faith singeth still her song; Chastened by pain we learn life's deeper meaning; And in our weakness Thou dost make us strong.

4 Patient, 0 heart, though heavy be thy sorrows; Be not cast down, disquieted in vain; Yet shalt thou praise Him, when these darkened furrows. Where now He plougheth, wave with golden grain.

To search the starry vault profound; In vain would wing her flight sublime To find creation's utmost bound.

2 But weaker j'^et that thought must prove

To search Thy great eternal plan, Thy sovereign counsels, born of love Long ages ere the world began.

3 When my dim reason would demand

Why that, or this. Thou dost ordain. By some vast deep I seem to stand. Whose secrets I must ask in vain.

4 When doubts disturb my troubled breast,

And all is dark as night to me. Here, as on solid rock, I rest, — That so it seemeth good to Thee.

5 Be this my joy, that evermore

Thou rulest all things at Thy will; Thy sovereign wisdom I adore. And calmly, sweetly, trust Thee still.

I bless Thy providence.

2 Lord, in the day Thou art about

The paths wherein I tread; And in the night, when I lie down. Thou art about my bed.

3 In Thee I live and move and am;

Thou deal'st me out my days; As Thou renew' st my being, Lord, Let me renew Thy praise.

4 Let me be ever good to Thine,

Who art so good to me; Let Thine be mine, and mine be Thine, And they twice mine shall be.

5 I have a God that changeth not.

Why should I be perplexed? My God that owns me in this world, Will own me in the next.

6 Go fearless, then, my soul, with God

Into another room; Thou, who hast walked with Him here, Go see Thy God at home.

How kind His precepts are! Come, cast your burdens on the Lord, And trust His constant care.

2 While Providence supports,

Let saints securely dwell; That hand, which bears all nature up, Shall guide His children well.

3 Why should this anxious load

Press down your weary mind? Haste to your heavenly Father's throne. And sweet refreshment find.

Could pierce beyond the grave. Who saw his Master in the sky.

And called on Him to save; Like Him, with pardon on his tongue

In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong:

Who tollows in his train ?

A glorious band, the chosen few

On whom the Spirit came. Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew,

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?

A noble army, men and boys.

The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour's throne rejoice,

In robes of light arraj'ed; They climbed the steep ascent of heaven

Through peril, toil and pain: 0 God, to us may grace be given

To follow in their train I

Aud let the King of glory pass;

The cross is in the field : That banner, brighter than the star

That leads the train of night. Shines on their march, and guides from far

His servants to the fight.

2 A holy war those servants wage;

Mysteriously at strife. The powers of heaven and hell engage

For more than death or life. Ye armies of the living God,

His sacramental host. Where hallowed footsteps never trod

Take your appointed post.

3 Though few and small and weak your bands,

Strong in your Captain's strength Go to the conquest of all lands;

All must be His at length: Those spoils at His victorious feet

You shall rejoice to lay. And lay yourselves, as trophies meet,

In His great judgment-day.

4 0 fear not, faint not, halt not now;

Quit you like men, be sti'ong! To Christ shall all the nations bow.

And sing with you this song: ' 'Uplifted are the gates of brass.

The cross hath won the field."

We lift our battle-song.

2 Lead on, 0 King eternal,

Till sin's fierce war shall cease, And holiness shall whisper The sweet Amen of peace;

For not with swords loud clashing, Nor roll of stirring drums,

But deeds of love and mercy, The heavenly kingdom comes.

3 Lead on, 0 King eternal!

We follow, not with fears; For gladness breaks like morning

Where'er Thy face appears; Thy cross is lifted o'er us;

We journey in its light: The crown awaits the conquest;

Lead on, 0 God of might!

1 CHRISTIAN, dost thou see them \J On tlie holy ground,

How the hosts of darkness

Compass thee around? Christian, up and smite them

Counting gain but loss; Smite them by the merit

Of the holy cross.

2 Christian, dost thou feel them,

How they work within. Striving, tempting, luring,

Goading into sin? Christian, never tremble.

Never be downcast. Smite them, Christ is with thee,

Thou ohalt win at last.

Greek, vii C. tr. John M.

3 Christian, dost thou hear them,

How they speak thee fair? "Always fast and vigil?

Always watch and prayer?" Christian, answer boldly,

"While I breathe, I pray," Peace shall follow battle.

Night shall end in day.

4 "Well I know thy trouble,

0 My servant true; Thou art very weary, —

1 was weary too;

But that toil shall make thee

Some day all Mine own, — And the end of sorrow

My lieart with peace is blest; I lose my hold, and then comes down

Darkness, and cold unrest. Let me no more my comfort draw

From my frail hold of Tliee, In this %lone rejoice with awe,

Thy mighty grasp of me.

3 Out of that weak, unquiet drift

That comes but to depart. To that pure heaven my spirit lift

Where Thou unchanging art; Lay hold of me with Thy strong grasp.

Let Thy almighty arm In its embrace my weakness clasp.

And I shall fear no harm.

4 Thy purpose of eternal good

Let me but surely know; On this I'll lean— let changing mood

And feeling come or go — Glad when Thy sunshine fills my soul,

Not lorn when clouds o'ercast. Since Thou within Thy sure control

Of love dost hold me fast.

And not sometimes lose heart! He hides Himself so wondrouslj'.

As though there were no God; He is least seen when all the powers

Of ill are most abroad.

2 Ah, God is other than we think;

His ways are far above. Far beyond reason's height, and reached

Only by childlike love. Workman of God, 0 lose not heart,

But learn what God is like; And in the darkest battlefield

Thou shalt know where to strike.

3 Thrice blest is he to whom is given

The instinct that can tell That God is on the field when He

Is most invisible. Blest too is he who can divine

Where real right doth lie, And dares to take the side that seems

Wrong to man's bUndfold eye.

4 Then learn to scorn the praise of men,

And learn to lose with God; For Jesus won the world through shame,

And beckons thee His road: For right is right, since God is God,

And right the day must win; To doubt would be disloyalty.

To falter would be sin.

That thorns remain; So that earth's bliss may be our guide,

Hast given us joys, tender and true.

Yet all with wings, . So that we see, gleaming on high,

Diviner things.

To long for more: A yearning for a deeper peace

Not known before.

At our armj^'s head; Who sliall dream of shrinking, By Jehovah led?

Forward thi'ough the desert, Through the toil and fight! Jordan flows before us, Zion beams with light. 2 Forward, flock of Jesus, Salt of all the earth, Till each yearning purpose Spring to glorious birth! Sick, they ask for healing.

Blind, they grope for day; Pour upon the nations Wisdom's loving ray. Forward, out of error,

Leave behind the night; Forward through the darkness, Forward into light!

Hath our God ])repared, By the souls that love Plim

One day to be shared; Eye hath not beheld them,

Ear hath never heard; Nor of these hath uttered Thought or speech a word. Forward, marching eastward

Where the heaven is bright, Till the veil be lifted. Till our faith be sight!

4 Far o'er yon horizon

Rise the city towers, Where our God abideth; That fair home is ours: Flash the streets with jasper, Shine the gates with gold; Flows the gladdening river. Shedding jo.ys untold. Thither, onward thither,

Every duty find; Hoping still, and trusting

He will make all clear;

In the hours of pain. Surer yet and surer

Peace at last to gain; Suffering still and doing

To His will resigned, And to God subduing

Out of clouds and night. Nearer yet and nearer

Rising to the light, — Light serene and holy.

Where my soul may rest, Purified and lowly.

Sanctified and blest;

4 Haste, then, on from grace to glory.

Armed by faith, and winged by jn-ayer! Heaven's eternal day's before thee,

God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission;

Swift shall pass th.v pilgrim days; Hope soon change to glad fruition.

Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

1 rpHRO' the night of doubt and sorrow J- Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation,

Marching to the promised land. Clear before us through the darkness

Gleams and burns the guiding light; Brother clasps the hand of brother.

Stepping fearless through the night.

2 One the light of God's own presence

O'er His ransomed people shed. Chasing far the gloom and terror.

Brightening all the path we tread; One the object of our joiirney.

One the faith which never tires, One the earnest looking forward,

One the hope our God inspires;

U

3 One the strain that lips of thousands

Lift as from the heart of one; One the conflict, one the peril.

One the march in God begun; One the gladness of rejoicing

On the far eternal shore, Where the one almightj' Father

Reigns in love for evermore.

4 Onward, therefore, pilgrim brothers.

Onward with the cross our aid! Bear its shame and fight its battle,

Till we rest beneath its shade! Soon shall come the great awaking,

Soon the rending of the tomb; Then the scattering of the shadows.

And the end of toil and gloom.

'Tis immortaUty. Here iu the body pent,

Absent from Him I roam. Yet nightly pitch my moving tent

A day's march nearer home.

2 My Father's house on high,

Home of my soul, how near. At times, to faith's foreseeing eye

Th.y golden gates a]>pear! Ah. then my si)irit faints

To reach the land I love, The bright inheritance of saints,

Jerusalem above.

3 I hear at morn and even.

At noon and midnight hour, The choral harmonies of heaven. Earth's Babel-tongues o'erpower.

Then, then I feel that He,

Eemembered or forgot, The Lord, is never far from me,

Though I perceive Him not.

' ' For ever with the Lord ! ' '

Father, if 'tis Thy will. The promise of that faithful word,

E'en here to me fulfil. Be Thou at my right hand.

Then can I never fliil; Uphold Thou me and I shall stand,

Fight and I must prevail.

So when my latest breath

Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I sliall escape from death,

And life eternal gain. Knowing as I am known,

How shall I love that word. And oft repeat before the throne,

"For ever with the Lord!"

swelling O'er earth's green fields and ocean's wave-beat shore : How sweet the truth those blessed strains are 4 telling Of that new life when sin shall be no more! Angeli of Jesus, angels of light. Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night!

2 Onward we go, for still we hear them singing,

" Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come," And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing. The music of the gospel leads us home.

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

And laden souls, by thousands meekly stealing, Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee.

Rest comes at length: though life be long and dreary, The day must dawn and darksome night bo past; All journeys end in welcomes to the weary, And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last.

Angels, sing on, your faithful watches keeping;

Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above; Till morning's joy shall end the night of weeping,

And life's long shadows break in cloudless love. Frederick W. Faber, 1854: v. 5, lines 3, 4, alt.

Firm on the Rock, and strong in Thee,

4 0 teach me. Lord, that I may teach

The precious things Thou dost impart; And wing my words, that they may reach The hidden depth of many a heart.

5 0 give Thine own sweet rest to me,

That I may speak with soothing power A word in season, as from Thee, To weary ones in needful hour.

In lowly ixiths of service free; Tell me Thj^ secret; help me bear The strain of toil, the fret of care.

2 Help me the slow of heart to move By some clear winning woi'd of love; Teach me the wayward feet to stay, And guide them in the homeward way.

3 Teach me Thy patience; still with Thee In closer, dearer company.

In work that keeps faith sweet and sti'ong, In trust that triumphs over wrong;

4 In hope that sends a shining ray

Far down the future's broadening way; In peace that only Thou canst give. With Thee, 0 Master, let me live.

4 Bless Thou the gifts our hands have brought; Bless Thou the work our hearts have planned. Ours is the hope, the will, the thought; The rest, 0 God, is in Thy hand.

1 r\ FATHER, when the softened heart Is lifted up in prayer to Thee, When earthly thoughts awhile depart And leave the mounting spirit free.

2 Then teach us that our love like Thine

O'er all the realms of earth should flow, A shoreless stream, a flood divine,

No lines of race or hue should know; —

3 Not bound by party, caste, or creed.

All narrow realms of self above; For whoso of our love hath need, To him we owe the dues of love.

4 Into the circle lift us up Of Thy divine beneficence, And freely as Thou fill'st our cup Freely may we to all dispense.

Th^" light and truth, to guide us onward still; Still let Thy mercy, as of old, be near us, And lead us safely to Thy holy hill.

3 In vain to labor, unless Thou be with him,

Man goeth forth through all the weary day; In vain his strife, in vain his toil unceasing. Unless Thy staff" bring comfort on his way.

4 Tliou, who hast made the north and south, watch o'er us;

Thou, in whose name the lonely ones rejoice, Still let Thy cloudy pillar glide before us. Still let us listen for Thy wai-ning voice.

5 So, when that morn of endless light is waking,

And shades of evil from its splendors flee, Safe may we rise, the earth's dark breast forsaking, Through all the long bright day to dwell with Thee.

Then address thee To thy God, whose sunlike smile. When the mountain-tops He brightens.

To Thee both morn and night to bring Our worship's lowly offering,

2 And, from the strife of tongues away, Ere toil begins, to meet and pray For blessings on the coming day,

3 And night by night for evermore Again with blended voice to pour Deep thanks for mercies gone before.

5 And when our daily work is o'er. And sins and weakness we deplore,

2 0 Saviour Christ, our woes dispel:

For some are sick, and some are sad, And some have never loved Thee well. And some have lost the love they had;

3 And some are pressed with worldly care,

And some are tried with sinful doubt, And some such grievous passions tear That only Thou canst cast them out;

4 And some have found the world is vain.

Yet from the world they break not free; And some have friends who give them i>ain. Yet have not sought a friend in Thee;

5 And none, 0 Lord, have perfect rest.

For none are wholly free from sin; And they who fain would serve Thee best Are conscious most of wrong within.

6 Thy touch has still its ancient power.

No word from Thee can fruitless fall; Hear in this solemn evening hour. And in Thy mercy heal us all.

3 Tliou, who in darkness walking didst appear Upon the waves, and Thy disciples cheer, Come, Lord, in lonesome days, when storms assail. And earthly hopes and human succors fail; When all is dark, may we behold Thee nigh And hear Thy voice, "Fear not, for it is I!"

4 The weary world is mouldering to decay: Its glories wane, its pageants fade away:

In that last sunset, wlien the stars shall fill, May we arise, awakened by Thj^ call, Wnth Thee, O Lord, for ever to abide In that blest day which has no eventide.

Heaven is touching earth with rest; Wait and worship while the night Sets her evening lamps alight Through all the sky. Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts! Heaven and earth are full of Thee; Heaven and earth are praising Thee, 0 Lord Most High!

2 Lord of life, beneath the dome Of the universe, Thy home. Gather us who seek Thy face

To the fold of Thy embrace, For Thou art nigh.

While the deepening shadows fall, Heart of love, enfolding all. Through the glory and the grace Of the stars that veil Thy face, Our hearts ascend.

When for ever from our sight Pass the stars, the day, the night. Lord of angels, on our eyes Let eternal morning rise. And shadows end.

rrillE shadows of the evening hours -L Fall from the darkening sky; Upon the fragrance of the flowers

The dews of evening lie: Before Thy throne, 0 Lord of heaven,

We kneel at close of day; Look on Thy children from on high,

And hear us while we pray.

2 The sorrows of Thy servants, Lord,

0 do not Thou despise, But let the incense of our praj^ers

Before Thy mercy rise. The brightness of the coming night

Upon the darkness rolls; With hopes of future glory chase

The shadows from our souls.

3 Slowly the rays of daylight fade;

So fade within our heart The hopes in earthly love and joy

That one by one depart. Slowly the bright stars, one bj' one.

Within the heavens shine; Give us, 0 Lord, fresh hopes in heaven,

And trust in things divine.

4 Let peace, 0 Lord, Thy peace, 0 God,

Upon our souls descend; From midnight fears and perils Thou

Our trembling hearts defend. Give us a respite from our toil.

Calm and subdue our woes; Through the long day we labor, Lord,

0 give us now repose.

On thee the high and lowly, Through ages joined in tune,

Sing, "Holy, holy, holy!" To the great God triune.

From storms that round us rise; A garden intersected

With streams of paradise; Thou art a cooling fountain

In life's dry, dreary sand; From thee, like Pisgah's mountain,

We view our promised land.

3 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.

Thou art, — a day of love, A day of resurrection

From earth to things above. New graces ever gaining

From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining

To spirits of the blest.

Sab - bath Breaks o'er the earth

THE dawn of God's dear Sabbath Breaks o'er the earth asiain, As some sweet summer morning

After a night of pain ; It comes as cooling showers To some exhausted land, As shade of clustered palm-trees ' Mid weary wastes of sand.

Lord, we would bring for oflPering,

Though marred with earthly soil, A week of earnest labor,

Of steady, faithful toil; Fair fruits of self-denial.

Of strong, deep love to Thee, Fostered by Thine own Spirit

In our humility.

3 And we would bring our burden

Of sinful thought and deed, In Thy pure presence kneeling.

From bondage to be freed; Our hearts' most bitter sorrow

For all Thy work undone, — So many talents wasted.

So few bright laurels won,

4 0 Lord, forgive and strengthen:

]May we for evermore LTpon Thy peaceful Sabbath

Thy blessed name adore; Until in joy and gladness

We reach that home at last. Where life's short week of sorrow

And sin and strife is past. Ada Cambridge Cross, 1866, alt. and arr.

With felt returning need: Come to seek our former rest, Come to urge our old request.

2 Show us, Lord, the goal of life,

And give us heart to run; Breathe the peace that follows strife,

Lest future work we shun: Hearts that hasty time has grieved Are by Sabbath calm relieved.

3 We would sing as in the rays

Of mercy ever bright. Which endureth to Thy praise,

For ever Thy delight, — Sing for happiness we know, Or that we may happy grow.

4 We would pray as those who stand

Their truest Friend beside, Whom He takes as by the hand

Unto their God to guide; By His power and for His sake Fully us Thy children make.

1 IITILLIONS within Thy courts have met, ^*-*- Millions this day before Thee' bowed; Their faces Zionward were set,

Vows with their lips to Thee they vowed.

2 Still as the light of morning broke

O'er island, continent, or deep. Thy far-spread family awoke.

Sabbath all round the world to keep.

3 From east to west the sun surveyed.

From north to south, adoring throngs; And still, when evening stretched her shade, The stars came out to hear their songs.

4 And not a prayer, a tear, a sigh.

Hath failed this day some suit to gain; To those in trouble Thou wert nigh. Not one has sought Thy face in vain.

5 Yet one prayer more, and be it one

In wiiich both heaven and earth accord; Fulfil Thy promise to Thy Son,

Let all that breathe call Jesus, Lord!

In this land of sin and woe. 0 my spirit longs and faints For the converse of Thy saints, For the brightness of Thy face. For Thy fulness, God of grace.

2 Happy birds that sing and fly Round Thy altars, 0 IMost High ! Happier souls that find a rest

In a heavenly Father's breast ! Like the wandering dove, that found No repose on earth around, They can to their ark repair And enjoy it ever there.

Happy souls! their praises flow

Even in this vale of woe;

Waters in the desert rise,

Manna feeds them from the skies:

On they go from strength to strength,

Till they reach Thy throne at length;

At Thy feet adoring fall,

Who hast led them safe through all.

Lord, be mine this prize to win; Guide me through a world of sin; Keep me by Thy saving grace; Give me at Thy side a place. Sun and Shield alike Thou art; Guide and guard my erring heart: Grace and glory flow from Thee; Shower, 0 shower them. Lord, on me.

When earth and heaven shall melt away, Thy flock, redeemed from sinful stain. Shall swell the sound of praise again :

1 A ND now the wants are told that brought ^ Thy children to Thy knee ;

Here hugering still, we ask for naught. But simply worship Thee.

2 The hope of heaven's eternal days

Absorbs not all the heart That gives Thee glory, love, and praise, For being what Thou art.

3 For Thou art God, the one, the same,

O'er all things high and bright; And round us, when we speak Thy name, There spreads a heaven of light.

4 0 wondrous peace, in thought to dwell

On excellence divine. To know that naught in man can tell How fair Thy beauties shine!

5 0 Thou, above all blessing blest.

O'er thanks exalted far.

Thy very greatness is a rest

To weaklings as we are;

6 For when we feel the praise of Thee

A task beyond our powers, We say, ' ' A perfect God is He, And He is fully ours."

Look, Father, look on His anointed face, And look on us as dedicate to Him;

Look not on our misusings of Thy grace. Our prayer so languid, and our faith so dim:

For lo, between our sins and their reward

We set Thy love revealed in Christ, our Lord.

And then for those, our dearest and our best. By these. Thy heartening tokens, we ap- peal ; 0 fold them closer to Thy mercy' s breast, 0 do Thine utmost for their souls' true weal ; From tainting mischief keep them white

and clear. And crown Thy gifts with grace to persevere.

And not for them alone, 0 Lord, we plead, But for the world Thou gav'st Thyself to win;

Prepare us by this feast to meet its need. To succor weakness and to conquer sin;

In this. Thy service, make us glad and free,

And grant us never more to part with Thee.

And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea,

2 But such a tide as moving seems asleep,

Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home.

And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark;

1 INTERNAL Source of every joy!

-L^ Well may Thy praise our lips employ, While in Thy temple we appear, Whose goodness crowns the circling year.

2 Wide as the wheels of nature roll, Thy hand supports the steady pole; The sun is taught by Thee to rise. And darkness when to veil the skies.

3 The flowery spring at Thy command Embalms the air and paints the land; The summer rays with vigor shine To raise the corn and cheer the vine

4 Thy hand in autumn richly pours Through all our coasts redundant stores; And winters, softened by Thy care,

No more a face of horror wear.

5 Seasons and months and weeks and days Demand successive songs of praise;

Still be the cheerful homage paid With opening light and evening shade.

6 Here in Thy house shall incense rise, As circling Sabbaths bless our eyes; Still will we make Thy mercies known Around Thy board and round our own.

2 By day, by night, at home, abroad. Still we are guarded by our God; By His incessant bounty fed,

By His unerring counsel led.

3 With grateful hearts the past we own; The future, all to us unknown.

We to Thy guardian care commit, And peaceful leave before Thy feet.

4 In scenes exalted or depressed.

Thou art our Joy, and Thou our Rest; Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise. Adored through all our changing days.

5 When death shall interrupt these songs,

And seal in silence mortal tongues;

Our Helper God, in whom we trust.

In better worlds our souls shall boast.

Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run,

Never more to meet us here: Fixed in an eternal state,

They have done with all below We a little longer wait,

But how little none can know.

2 As the winged arrow flies

Speedily the mark to find, As the lightning from the skies

Darts, and leaves no trace behind —

Swiftly thus our fleeting days Bear us down life's rapid stream;

Upward, Lord, our spirits raise. All below is but a dream.

3 Thanks for mercies past receive; Pardon of our sins renew; Teach ixs henceforth how to live

With eternity in view; Bless Thy word to young and old;

Fill us with a Saviour's love; And when life's short tale is told, May we dwell with Thee above.

In esolemn worship meeting; And as the year's hist hours go by We Hft to Thee our earnest cry,

Once more Thy love entreating.

2 Before the cross, subdued we bow,

To Thee our prayers addressing; Recounting all Thy mercies now.

And all our sins confessing; Beseeching Thee, this coming year. To hold us in Thy faith and fear.

And crown us with Thy blessing.

3 In many an hour, when fear and dread,

Like evil spells have bound us, And clouds were gathering overhead,

Thy providence hath found us; In many a night when waves ran high, Thy gracious presence drawing nigh

Hath made all calm around us.

4 And, while we kneel, we lift our eyes

To dear ones gone before us; Safe housed with Thee in paradise,

Their spirits hovering o'er us; And beg of Thee, when life is jDast, To re-unite us all at last.

And to our lost restore us.

5 Then, 0 great God, in years to come,

Whatever fate betide us, Right onward through our journey home

Be Thou at hand to guide us. Nor leave us till, at close of life, Safe from all perils, toil and strife,

Heaven shall enfold and hide us.

For that which the hands cannot hold, - The harvest eyes only can gather. And only our hearts can enfold.

We reap it on mountain and moorland;

We glean it from meadow and lea; We garner it in from the cloudland;

We bind it in sheaves from the sea.

3 But the song it goes deeper and higher; There are harvests that eye cannot see; They ripen on mountains of duty.

Are reaped by the brave and the free. 0 Thou, who art Lord of the harvest.

2 In the morning of life, and at noon, and at even,

He called them away from our w^orship below; But not till His mercy and tender compassion

Had girt them with grace for the way they should go.

3 These stones that have echoed their praises are holy,

And dear is the ground where their feet have once trod; Yet here they confessed they were strangers and pilgrims, And still they were seeking the city of God.

4 Sing praise, then, for all who here sought and here found Him,

Whose journey is ended, whose perils are past; They believed in the Light; and its glory is round them, Where the clouds of earth's sorrow are lifted at last.

1 /^NCE in royal David's city \J Stood a lowly cattle-shed, Where a mother laid her Baby

In a manger for His bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child.

2 He came down to earth from heaven

Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter Avas a stable,

And His cradle was a stall : With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour holy.

For He is our childhood's Pattern, Day by day like us He grew,

He was little, weak and helpless, Tears and smiles like us He knew,

And He feeleth for our sadness.

And He shareth in our gladness.

And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love;

For that Child .so dear and gentle Ls our Lord in heaven above,

And He leads His children on

To the place where He is gone.

3 i\.nd, through all His wondrous childhood, 6 Not in that poor lowly stable.

He would honor and obey. With the oxen standing by.

Love and watch the lowly maiden We shall see Him, but in heaven,

In whose gentle arms He lay: Set at God's right hand on high;

Christian children all must be When like stars His children crowned

Mild, obedient, good as He. All in white shall wait around.

T V To Zion Jesus came, The cliildren all stood singing

Hosanna to His name; Nor did their zeal offend Him,

But, as He rode along, He let them still attend Him,

And smiled to hear their song.

2 And, since the Lord retaineth

His love for children still, Though now as King He reigneth On Ziou's heavenly hill,

We'll flock around Plis banner Who sits upon the throne.

And cry aloud, "Hosanna To David's royal Son! "

3 For, should we fail proclaiming

Our great Redeemer's pa-aise, The stones, our silence shaming.

Would their hosannas raise. But shall we only render

The tribute of our words ? No ! while our hearts are tender,

They too shall be the Lord's.

1 npHERE is a green hill far away, -*- Without a city wall,

Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all.

2 We may not know, we cannot tell,

What pains He had to bear; But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there.

3 He died that we might be forgiven.

He died to make us good, That we might go at last to heaven. Saved by His precious blood.

4 There was no other good enough

To pay the price of sin;

He only could unlock the gate

Of heaven and let us in.

5 0 dearly, dearly has He loved,

And we must love Him too, And trust in His redeeming blood, And try His works to do.

How He called little children as lambs to His fold, I should like to have been with them then.

2 I wish that His hands had been jilaced on my head,

That His arm had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen His kind look when He said, "Let the little ones come unto Me."

3 Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go.

And ask for a share in His love; And if I now earnestly seek Him below, I shall see Him and hear Him above,

4 In that beautiful place He is gone to prepare

For all who are washed and forgiven; And many dear children are gathering there, For of such is the kingdom of heaven.

5 But thousands and thousands who wander and fall

Never heard of that heavenly home; I should like them to know there is room for them all, And that Jesus has bid them to come.

6 I long for the joy of that glorious time,

The sweetest and brightest and best, When the dear little; children of every clime Shall crowd to His arms and be blest.

Suffer me to come to Thee.

2 Fain I would be as Thou art, Give me Thy obedient heart; Thou art pitiful and kind.

Let me have Thy loving mind.

3 Let me above all fulfil

God, my heavenly Father's, will, Never His good Spirit grieve, Only to His glory live.

4 Thou didst live to God alone. Thou didst never seek Thine own, Thou Thyself didst never please, God was all Thy happiness.

5 Loving Jesvts, gentle Lamb, In Thy gracious hands I am; Make me, Saviour, what Thou art; Live Thyself within my heart.

6 I shall then show forth Thy praise. Serve Thee all my happy days; Then the world shall always see Christ, the holy Child, in me.

4 Teach us to look in all our ends

On Thee for Judge and not our friends; That we, with Thee, may walk uncowed By fear or favor of the crowd.

5 Teach us the strength that cannot seek, Ky deed or thought, to hurt the weak; That, under Thee, we may possess Man's strength to comfort man's distress.

6 Teach us delight in simple things, And mirth that has no bitter springs; Forgiveness free of evil done.

And love to all men 'neath the sun.

1 A LITTLE kingdom I possess,

xV Where thoughts and feeUngs dwell; And very hard I find the task

Of governing it well; For passion tempts and troubles me,

A wayward will misleads. And selfishness its shadow casts

On all my will and deeds.

2 How can I learn to rule myself,

To be the child I should, Honest and brave, nor ever tire

Of trying to be good? How can I keep a sunny soul

To shine along life' s way? How can I tune my little heart

To sweetly sing all day?

3 Dear Father, help me with the love

That casteth out my fear; Teach me to lean on Thee, and feel

That Thou art very near. That no temptation is unseen.

No childish grief too small, Since Thou, with patience infinite,

Dost soothe and comfort all.

4 I do not ask for any crown

But that which all may win; Nor try to conquer any world

Except the one within. Be Thou my Guide until I find,

Led by a tender hand. Thy happy kingdom in myself.

And dare to take command.

]JiY morning the red sun lises warm and bright; But the evening cometh on, And the dark, cold night: There's a bright land far away, Where 'tis never-ending day.

Every spring the sweet young flowers

Open bright and gay, Till the chilly autumn hours

Wither them away: There's a land we have not seen, Where the trees are always green.

3 Little birds sing songs of praise

All the summer long; But in colder, shorter days

They forget their song: There's a place where angels sing Ceaseless praises to their King.

4 Christ our Lord is ever near

Those who follow Him; But we cannot see Him here.

For our ej^es are dim: There is a most happy place. Where men always see His face.

Who shall go to that fair land?

All who love the right; Holy children there shall stand

In their robes of white; For that heaven, so bright and blest, Is our everlasting rest.

According to the English Revised Version, arranged for

iMornins anb Cbenins ®(iors(j)ip

Together with

portions; from tfje Jropfjetsi

for 3irtient anb TLmt

NOTE

As far as the English version and the exigencies of Responsive Read- ing permit, the Psalter and the Selections from the Prophets are ar- ranged in accordance with the principle of Hebrew poetry, the minis- ter taking one member of the parallelism and the people taking the other.

The slight and infrequent deviations that are made from the text of the English Revision follow either its marginal readings or the American Re- vision or the Ancient Versions.

The Psalter is arranged in accordance with the days of the month to aid in securing familiarity with all the Psalms that lend themselves to public worship. The Selections from the Prophets are intended to aid those churches which hold Lenten services and which emphasize the Christmas Season.

GENERAL PRAYERS

TO BE SAID IN UNISON

THE LORD'S PRAYER

Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread* And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into tempta- tion, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. AMEN.

A GENERAL CONFESSION OF SIN

Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from Thy ways like lost sheep; we have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts; we have offended against Thy holy laws; we have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not to have done, and there is no health in us. But Thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare Thou those, O God, who confess their faults. Restore Thou those who are penitent, according to Thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus, our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for His sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of Thy holy name. AMEN.

This confession was added by the English Reformers to the Book of Common Prayer in is 52. It is modelled upon the confession in the order of worship in use in a congregation of I'rench Presby- terian refugees in Glastonbury, and published by their pastor, N'alerand Pullain, in Latin in 1551; and upon the confession in use in another congregation of exiles from the Continent worshipping in London and published by their pastor, John a-Lasco.

A GENERAL THANKSGIVING

Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we. Thine unworthy servants, do give Thee most humble and hearty thanks for all Thy goodness and loving-kindness to us, and to all men. We bless Thee for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life, but above all, for Thine inestimable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ, for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. And, we beseech Thee, give us that due sense of all Thine mercies, that our hearts may be unfeignedly thankful, and that we may show forth Thy praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives; by giving up ourselves to Thy service, and by walking before Thee in holiness and righteousness all our days, through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with Thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honor and glory, world without end. AMEN.

Psalm 1

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked,

Nor standeth in the way of sin- ners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord ;

And in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water,

That bringeth forth its fruit in its season,

Whose leaf also doth not wither;

And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

The wicked are not so ;

But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,

Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous :

But the way of the wicked shall perish.

Psalm 3

Why do the nations rage,

And the peoples imagine a vain thing?

The kings of the earth set them- selves,

And the rulers take counsel to- gether, against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,

Let us break their bands asunder,

And cast away their cords from us.

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh :

The Lord shall have them in de- rision.

Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath,

And vex them in his sore dis- pleasure :

Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion,

I will tell of the decree: The Lord said unto me, Thou art my son;

This day have I begotten thee.

Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance.

And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

And rejoice with trembling.

Lay hold if instruction lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way,

For his wrath will soon be kin- dled.

Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Psalm 3

Lord, how are mine adversaries increased !

Many are they that rise up against me.

Many there be which say of my soul,

There is no help for him in God.

But thou, O Lord, art a shield about me;

My glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

I cry unto the Lord with my voice,

And he answereth me out of his holy hill.

I laid me down and slept ;

I awaked; for the Lord sustain- eth me.

I will not be afraid of ten thou- sands of the people, that have set

themselves against me round about.

Arise, O Lord; save me, O my God:

Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.

Salvation belongeth unto the Lord:

Thy blessing be upon thy people.

How long will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood?

But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself:

Stand in awe, and sin not :

Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.

For thou hast made him but little lower than God,

And crownest him with glory and honour.

Thou madest him to have domin- ion over the works of thy hands ;

Thou hast put all things under his feet:

They stumble and perish at thy presence.

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause ;

Thou satest in the throne judging righteously.

Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked.

Thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.

But the Lord sitteth as king for ever :

He hath prepared his throne for judgement.

For thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Sing praises to the Lord, which dwelleth in Zion:

Declare among the peoples his doings.

Have mercy upon me, O Lord ; behold my affliction which I suffer of them that hate me,

Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death;

That I may shew forth all thy praise :

In the gates of the daughter of Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.

The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made :

In the net which they hid is their own foot taken.

The Lord hath made himself known, he hath executed judgment :

The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.

The wicked shall return to Shcol,

Even all the nations that forget God.

For the needy shall not alway be forgotten,

Nor the expectation of the poor perish for ever.

PSAI.M 10

Why standest thou afar oft", O Lord?

Why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

Li the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued ;

They are taken in the devices that they have imagined.

For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire.

And the covetous renounceth, yea, contemneth the Lord.

The wicked, in the pride of his countenance, saith, He will not re- quire it.

All his thoughts are, There is no God.

His ways are firm at all times;

Thy judgements are far above out of his sight: as for all his adversa- ries, he puffeth at them.

He saith in his heart, I shall not be moved :

Xlbe psaltec

Selection 4

To all generations I shall not be in adversity.

His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression:

Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages :

In the covert places doth he mur- der the innocent:

His eyes are privily set against the helpless.

He lurketh in the covert as a lion in his den:

He lieth in wait to catch the poor :

He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net.

He croucheth, he boweth down,

And the helpless fall by his strong ones.

He saith in his heart, God hath forgotten :

He hideth his face ; he will never see it.

Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thine hand :

Forget not the poor.

Wherefore doth the wicked con- temn God,

And say in his heart, Thou wilt not require it?

Thou hast seen it :

For thou beholdest mischief and spite, to take it into thy hand:

The helpless committeth himself unto thee ;

Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless.

Break thou the arm of the wicked ;

And as for the evil man, seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

The Lord is King for ever and ever :

The nations are perished out of his land.

Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the meek :

Thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

To judge the fatherless and the oppressed,

That man which is of the earth may be terrible no more.

Psalm 11:1-;3, 4-7

In the Lord put I my trust : How say ye to m.y soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain?

For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart. The Lord is in his holy temple, The Lord, his throne is in heav- en;

His eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.

The Lord trieth the righteous:

But the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

Upon the wicked he shall rain snares ;

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.

They are corrupt, they have done abominable works: there is none that doeth good.

The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men,

To see if there were any that did understand, that did seek after God.

They are all gone aside ; they are together become filthy;

There is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge?

Who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord.

There were they in great fear:

For God is in the generation of the righteous.

Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor,

Because the Lord is his refuge. Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion !

When the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people, then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

Psalm 15

Lord, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle ?

Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness,

And speaketh truth in his heart.

He that slandereth not with his tongue,

Nor doeth evil to his friend, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

In whose eyes a reprobate is de- spised ;

But he honoureth them that fear the Lord.

He that sw^eareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

I LOVE thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

My God, my strong rock, in him will I trust ;

My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised :

So shall I be saved from mine en- emies.

The cords of death compassed me,

And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.

The cords of Sheol were round about me :

The snares of death came upon me.

In my distress I called upon the Lord,

And cried unto my God:

He heard my voice out of his temple,

And my cry before him came into his ears.

Then the earth shook and trem- bled,

The foundations also of the mountains moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured :

Coals were kindled by it.

He bowed the heavens also, and came down ;

And thick darkness was under his feet.

And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly:

Selection 6

Ube psalter

Yea, he flew swiftly upon the wings of the wind.

He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion round about him ;

Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.

At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed,

Hailstones and coals of fire.

The Lord also thundered in the heavens,

And the Most High uttered his voice; hailstones and coals of fire.

And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them ;

Yea, lightnings manifold, and dis- comfited them.

Then the channels of waters ap- peared.

And the foundations of the world were laid bare.

At thy rebuke, O Lord,

At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

He sent from on high, he took me;

He drew me out of many waters.

He delivered me from my strong enemy,

And from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.

They came upon me in the day of my calamity :

But the Lord was my stay.

He brought me forth also into a large place ;

He delivered me, because he de- lighted in me.

The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness ;

According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

For I have kept the ways of the Lord,

And have not wickedly departed from my God.

For all his judgments were before me,

And I put not away his statutes from me.

I was also perfect with him,

And I kept myself from mine in- iquity.

Therefore hath the Lord recom- pensed me according to my right- eousness,

According to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

Witli the merciful thou w^ilt shew thyself merciful;

With the perfect man thou wilt shew thyself perfect ;

With the pure thou wilt shew thy- self pure;

And with the perverse thou wilt shew thyself froward.

For thou wilt save the afflicted people ;

But the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down.

For thou wilt light my lamp :

The Lord my God will lighten my darkness.

For by thee I run upon a troop ;

And by my God do I leap over a wall.

Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation:

And thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

Thou hast enlarged my steps un- der me,

And my feet have not slipped.

I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them :

Neither will I turn again till they are consumed.

Thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, thou God of truth.

I hate them that regard lying van- ities:

But I trust in the Lord.

I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy : for thou hast seen my afflic- tion;

Thou hast known my soul in ad- versities :

And thou hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy;

Thou hast set my feet in a large place.

Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in distress :

Mine eye wasteth away with grief, yea, my soul and my body.

For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing:

My strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted away.

Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach,

Yea, unto my neighbours exceed- ingly, and a fear to mine acquain- tance:

They that did see me without fled from me.

I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

For I have heard the defaming of many,

Terror on every side:

While they took counsel together against me,

They devised to take away my life.

But I trusted in thee, O Lord:

I said, Thou art my God.

My times are in thy hand :

Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that perse- cute me.

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant :

Save me in thy lovingkindness.

Let me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon thee :

Let the wicked be ashamed, let them be silent in Sheol.

Let the lying lips be dumb ;

Which speak against the right- eous insolently with pride and con- tempt.

Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee,

Which thou hast wrought for them that put their trust in thee, before the sons of men!

In the covert of thy presence shalt thou hide them from the plottings of man:

Thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

Blessed be the Lord:

For he hath shewed me his mar- vellous lovingkindness in a strong city.

As for me, I said in my alarm, I am cut off from before thine eyes:

Nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

O love the Lord, all ye his saints :

Through my roaring all the day long.

And mine iniquity have I not hid :

And thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.

For this let eveiy one that is god- ly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found :

Surely when the great waters overflow they shall not reach unto him.

Let me know how frail I am.

Behold, thou hast made my days as handbreadths ;

They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.

For my expectation is from him.

He only is my rock and my sal- vation :

With God is my salvation and my glory:

The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

Trust in him at all times, ye peo- ple;

Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us.

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie:

In the balances they will go up ; they are together lighter than van- ity.

Trust not in oppression, and be- come not vain in robbery :

If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

For there are no bands in their death :

But their strength is firm.

They are not in trouble as other men;

Neither are they plagued like oth- er men;

Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck;

Violence covereth them as a gar- ment.

They have more than heart could wish.

They scoff, and in wickedness ut- ter oppression:

They speak loftily.

They have set their mouth in the heavens,

Therefore his people are turned after them:

And waters of a full cup are drained by them.

And they say, How doth God know ?

And is there knowledge in the Most High?

Behold, these are the wicked;

And, being alway at ease, they increase in riches.

Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart.

And washed my hands in inno- cency ;

For all the day long have I been plagued.

Behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children.

Until I went into the sanctuary of God, and considered their latter end.

And a great King above all gods.

The heights of the mountains are his also.

The sea is his, and he made it ;

And his hands formed the dry land.

O come, let us worship and bow down ;

Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker:

For he is our God,

And we are the people of his pas- ture, and the sheep of his hand.

To-day, Oh that ye would hear his voice! Harden not your heart, as at Meribah,

They went up by the mountains, they went down by the valleys,

Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.

Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over ;

He sendeth forth springs into the valleys ;

They give drink to every beast of the field ;

The wild asses quench their thirst.

He watereth the mountains from his chambers :

The earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,

And herb for the service of man;

And wine that maketh glad the heart of man.

And oil to make his face to shine,

And bread that strengtheneth man's heart.

When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion,

We were like unto them that dream.

Then was our mouth filled with laughter,

And our tongue with singing:

Then said they among the na- tions: the Lord hath done great things for them.

The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as tlie streams in the South.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

Though he goeth on his way weeping, bearing forth the seed ;

He shall come again with joy, bringing his sheaves with him.

Psalm 137

Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it :

Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

It is vain for you that ye rise up e*arly, and so late take rest, and eat the bread of toil:

How are they become a desolation in a moment !

They are utterly consumed with terrors.

As a dream when one awaketh ;

So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

For my heart was grieved,

And I was pricked in my reins:

So brutish was I, and ignorant ;

I was as a beast before thee.

Nevertheless I am continually with thee :

Thou hast holden my right hand.

Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel,

And afterward receive me to glory.

Whom have I in heaven but thee?

And there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

My flesh and my heart faileth :

But God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.
