The work grew through conventions and others Joining it, and because of sound edu- cational standards. Alumni .of Eden Sem- inary, St. Louis, have done creditable work at Yale, Lelpsic and other centres. Em- phasis has even been placed upon char- itable and benevolent work. One charity established In Missouri in 1802, for epilep- tics and feeble-minded, was among the very earliest of its kind in this country. There Is a Federation of Deaconess Homes with eighty-five sisters that Is affiliated with the Kalserwerth Association of Ger- many.

HYMNAL
OF THE
IVANQELIGAL CHURCH.
1716-1718 CHOUTEAU AVENUE, St. Louis, Mo.
Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1899,
BY A. G. TCENXIES,
in trust for the Eden Publishing House, in the office of the
Librarian of Congress at Washington, D. C.
PRRRAGR.
THIS HYMNAL is offered to giipply a real demand. The German Evan- gelical Synod of North America, organized over fifty years ago, is confronted l)y the necest?ity of giving to its children a Hymnal in the language of the country. The rising generation of this church, though of German ancestry, is gradually, in some sections even rapidly, drifting away from the language and customs of its forefathers, and is in danger of hecom- ing estranged to a church, all of whose services hitherto have been conducted in the German language.
While there are many H3'mnal8 in the English language, yet there is none that contains a sufficient number of the beautiful, lofty and dignified Gennan chorales, to merit its introduction into the Evangelical congregations, with whom the knowledge of these chorales is the ver\' essence of their musical taste and education.
In the General Conference of the Synod, held at Elmhurst, Illinois, A. D. 1895, it was resolved to publish a Hymnal in the Engli^^h language, which should meet the requirements of the Evangelical Church. This work was assigned to the Rev. C. G. Haas, who in compliance with his instructions has endeavored to compile a Hymnal, based upon the noble German chorales with the very cream of English and American hymns, thereby giving to the Church at large a book, which, while being both a selection and collectiox of choice tunes and distinctive Evangelical hymns, will verj' likely have a wide and lasting influence upon the hymnological literature of America, and tend greatly to -improve it. The .aggressiveness in eliminating a host of old English tunes, which have become obsolete and worthless, may call forth severe criticism from some quarters; yet we trust that the verj' fact that we
rV PREFACE.
have departed from this ultra-conservativeness and have given space only to the most exquisite music of ancient and modern date, will enhance the book in the eyes of all those who thoroughly examine it, and who deeply appre- ciate that which is beautiful, that which is sublime, and who believe with Jeremy Taylor, that "A church tune should be a holy thing, fit for a seraph to sing and angels to hear."
Melodies of rare metre and merit, never before published in America, have been adopted and new translations of choice German hymns introduced. The arrangement of hymns according to the Church-year and under many miscellaneous headings facilitates their selection.
A noteworthy department of hymns is the one entitled: "Children's Services," containing fifty-one carefully selected hymns and tunes especially adapted for children. This department — with other hymns and melodies throughout the book, which children can easily learn to sing, as auxiliaries — may well serve for Sunday School use. A great many of the Sunday School songbooks now extant lack altogether the sacred character and elevating in- fluence which they necessarily should have. The heart of the child is very tender and susceptible, and therefore ought to be given that only which is truly elevating and sacred. Children should be taught to sing the same beau- tiful hymns, which they sing when older in the church. AMiat they learn while young, will remain "vvith them through life; and church-singing, which oftentimes is so lamentably poor, almost impossible without a strong choir, would surely be greatly improved. Let members of one chuech, young and old, have one book !
To the hymns proper are added occasional Anthems and Canticles, also an appendix, comprising the Gospels and Epistles of the Church-year, Prayers that may be used for devotions at home and Psalms selected for Responsive Reading.
And now remains only the agreeable duty to record our deep sense of the great kindness shown to us in the hearty co-operation of many friends. The Editor would express his sincere gratitude to all who have answered his inquiries or in any way lightened his labors, most especially to Mr. V. C. Bumap, Mus. Doc, who has taken so deep an interest in the Hymnal and given him the benefit of his special knowledge and experience of long stand- ing in the adaptation of melodies to the respective hymns with which they are associated, and who has so liberally contributed original and other com- positions, not published hitherto in America. Thanks are due to the com- posers Chas. Geo. AV. Jungk and Frederick G. Haas, who have set to music the hymns assigned to them.
I'liKFACK. V
Thanks aro also ^ivcii to 1Im> followinj; owners of copyri^'lit tunes, who have generously jiennitted tlie use of them: — Mr. Tionis II. Keihier; Mr. Beeknian V. Ilsley ; The Rev. J. Nevett Steele, Mus. Doc; The Rev. Robert Lowrj' ; The Rev. Jeremiah K. Rankin, D. T). Mr. Ernest Carter; Mr. Walter H. (Gilbert, :SIiis. Doc; Mr. U. C. linrnaj), Mas. Doe.; The Rev. C. L. Hutehins, D. D. (irateful acknowledgment is also made for kindness received from many known and unknown friends for j)ermission to use the several liymns against which their names are placed, especially to the following: — The Rev. Robert Lowry ; The Rev. Jeremiah E. Rankin, D. D. ; The Rev. Daniel March, D. D. ; The Rev. Washington Gladden, D. D. ; The Rev. Dennis AVortman, D. D. ; The Rev. Eouis J. P>enson ; Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin t^ Co., for the hymns of Oliver Wendell Holmes
and John Greenleaf Whittier; Miss A. ^I. Ix)ngfellow for the hymns of the late Rev. Sanmel Longfellow. Probably there are some copyright tunes and hymns used for which no permission has ])een obtained. It is hoped that such an accidental infringe- ment of the Copyright Act will be readily forgiven, as every effort has been made to find the various owners and to solicit their permission previous to insertion. In future editions such omissions ^vill be gladly rectified and acknowledged, if those whose rights have been trespassed upon will kindly give notice of the same.
The work is now submitted to the members of the Evangelical Church and to all lovers of hymns and tunes with the earnest hope that, by God's blessing, it may be acceptable and of some use in the private circle of the home as well as f(^r the jmblic services of the Church.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. IX
The Ten Commandments.
(Exodus 20, 1-17.)
GOD gpake all these words, saying, I am the Lord thy (io<l, wliicli have broutjht thee out of the land of Egyi)t, out of the house of bondage.
I. — Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.
II. — Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth : thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the in- icjuity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me, and keep My commandments.
III. — Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His Name in vain.
IV. — Remember the Sabbath-day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work : but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates ; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath-day, and hallowed it.
V. — Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
VI.— Thou shalt not kill'.
VII. — Thou shalt not commit adultery. .
VIII.— Thou shalt not steal.
IX. — Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
X. — Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's.

The SQiiary of the Law by oar Lord JesQS Christ.
(St. Matth. 22, 37-40.)
Hear also what our Lord Jesus Christ saith :
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it : Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
LORD'S PRAYER.— BEATITUDES.— CREED.
The Lord's Prayer.
(St. Matth. 6, 9-13.) Our Father who art in heaven: Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
The Beatitudes.
(St. Matth. 5, 3-12.)
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness : for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful : for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice and be exceeding glad : for great is your reward in heaven : for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
See Chant No. 919.
The Apostles' Creed.
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into hell;
The third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost:
The holy Christian Church; the Communion of Saints;
The Forgiveness of sins;
The Resurrection of the body;
And the Life everlasting. Amen.

Let it be Thy temple now.
Here Thy praise is gladly chanted, Here Thy seed is duly sown ;
Let my soul, where it is planted, Bring forth precious sheaves alone;
So that all I hear may be
Fruitful unto life in me.
Thou my faith increase and quicken, Let me keep Thy gift divine,
Howsoe'er temptations thicken ; May Thy word still o'er me shine;

Hear with meekness, Hear Thy word with godly fear.

May we give them. Lord, to Thee ; Cheered by hope, and daily strengthened, May we run, nor weary be,
Till Thy glory Without clouds in heaven we see.

2 I^ng hadst Then reijjned ere time began, Or dust was fashioned into man ;
And lon<^ Thy kiiiirdoni shall endure. When earth and time shall be no more.
3 But man, weak man, is born to die, Made up of ^uilt and vanity ;
Thy dreadful sentence. Lord, was just — ''Return, ye sinners, to your dust."
4 Death, like an overflowing stream. Sweeps us away ; our life's a dream — An empty tale — a moruin«i flower. Cut down and withered in an hour.
5 Teach us, O Lord, how frail is man ; And kindly lengthen out our span. Till a wise care of piety
JPit us to die 3Dd dwell with Thee.

1 Thou, Ix)rd, of all the parent art,
Of all thin^is Thou alone the end,
On Thee still fix our wavering heart,
To Thee let all our actions tend.
2 Thou, Lord, art Light ; Thy native ray
No change, nor shadow ever knows; To our dark souls Thy Li<ilit display. The glory of Thy face disclose.
3 Thou. Lord, art Love ; the Fountain Thou
Whence mercy unexhausted flows ; On barren hearts, O shed it now, And make the desert bear the rose I
4 So shall our every power to Thee
In love and holy service rise ; And Ixxly, soul, ami spirit l)e Thy everlasting sacrifice.

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.
5 Thy chastisements are love ; more deep They stamp the seal Divine, A nd by a sweet compulsion keep Our spirits nearer Thine.
3 Thy ways are love; though they transcend 6 Thy heaven is the abode of Love :
Our feeble range of sight, O blessed Lord, that we [move,
They wind, through darkness, to their end May there, when time's deep shades re-
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.
Be gathered home to Thee.

There does His Spirit rest ; O come. Thou Presence infinite !

2 He gives the conquest to the weak,
Supports the fainting heart, And courage in the evil hour His heavenly aids impart.
3 Mere human power shall fast decay.
And youthful vigor cease ; But they who wait upon the Lord Id strength shall still increase.
4 They with unwearied feet shall tread
The path of life Divine; With growing ardor onward move. With growing brightness shine.
5 On eagles' wings they mount, they soar-
Their wings are faith and love ; Till, past the cloudy regions here, They rise to heaven above.

1 My God, how wonderful Thou art !
Thy majesty how bright. How glorious is Thy mercy seat In depths of burning light.
2 Yet I may love Thee too, O Lord,
Almighty as Thou art ; For Thou hast stooped to ask of me The love of my poor heart.
3 No earthly father loves like Thee,
No mother half so mild Bears and forbears, as Thou hast done With me, Thy sinful child.
4 My God, how wonderful Thou art.
Thou everlasting Friend ! On Thee I stay my trusting heart, Till faith in vision end.

2 O tell of His might ! O 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 !
6 O measureless Might! Ineffable Love! While angels delight to hymn Thee above, The humbler creation, though feeble their lays, With true adoration shall lisp to Thy praise.

As His rich love exceeds our praise. Exceeds the highest hopes we raise.

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 un remaining glory
Of things that soon are old.
3 O Thou, who canst not slumber,
Whose light grows never pale, Teach us aright to number
Our years before they fail ; On us Thy mercy lighten,
On us Thy goodness rest, And let Thy Spirit brighten
The hearts Thyself hast blessed.
Lord, crown our faith's endeavor
With beauty and with grace, Till, clothed in light for ever,
We see Thee face to face: A joy no language measures ;
A fountain brimming o'er; An endless flow of pleasures ;

2 But formless was the earth, and void, Dark, sluggish, and confused; Till o'er the mass the Spirit moved, And quickening power diffused.
8 Then, chief o'er all His works below, Man, honored man, was made; His soul with God's pure image stamped, ^Vith innocence arrayed.
3 Then spake the Lord Omnipotent
The mandate, " Be there light : " Light darted forth in vivid rays, And scattered ancient night.
4 The glorious firmament He spread,
To part the earth and sky ; And fixetl the upper elements Within their spheres on high.
5 He hade the sea.s together flow ;
They left the solid land : And herbs, and plants, and fruitful trees. Sprung forth at His command.
6 Above He formed the stars ; and placed
Two greater orbs of light ;
The radiant sun to rule the day,
The moon to rule the night.
7 To all the varied living tribes
He gave their wondrous birth : Some formed within the watery deep, Some from the teeming earth.
9 Completed now the mighty work, God His creation viewed ; And, pleased with all that He had made, Pronounced it "very good."

1 Great Ruler of all nature's frame,
We own Thy power Divine ; We hear Thy breath in every storm, For all the winds are Thine.
2 Wide as they sweep their sounding way,
They work Thy sovereign will ; And, awed by Thy majestic voice. Confusion shall be still.
3 Thy mercy tempers every blast
To them that seek Thy face. And mingles with the tempest's roar The whispers of Thy grace.
4 Those gentle whispers let me hear,
Till all the tumult cease ; And gales of paradise shall lull My weary soul to peace.

GOD THE FATHER ALMIGHTY.
Arr. from Georg C. Strattner, by J. A. F"reylinghausen, 1705.
2 See the glorious orb of day- Breaking through the clouds his way : Moon and stars with silvery light Praise Him through the silent night.
3 See how He hath everywhere Made this earth so rich and fair ; Hill and vale and fruitful land, All things living, show His hand.
6 1 ST. THOHAS.

S. M.
4 See how through the boundless sky Fresh and free the birds do fly; Fire and wind and storm are still Servants of His royal Will.
5 See the water's ceaseless flow. Ever circling to and fro : From the sources to the sea, Still it rolls in praise to Thee.
Joachim Neander, 1640-1680. Aaron Williams, 1731-1776.

2 The creature of Thy hand.
On Thee alone I live ; My God, Thy benefits demand More praise than life can give.
3 O what can I impart.
When all is Thine before?
Thy love demands a thankful heart ; The gift, alas, how poor!
4 Shall I withhold Thy due? And shall my passions rove? Lord, form this wretched heart anew. And fill it with Thy love. 36 Anne Steele, 1760.

5 What we, imraortal King,
Are of Thy nature knowing, Thou liast Thyself revealed,
Thy works and counsels showing. Creation speaks Tliy power.
More clearly still Thy Son Displays Thy wondrous grace.
And makes Thy mercy known.
6 Yet, what we learn of Thee
With shadows here is shrouded ; But soon we hope a light
And vision all unclouded, When we to God shall come.
No shade or veil between ; And there His glory see.
As we ourselves are seen.
7 Meantime would we below
Ne'er cease our honors bringing; Despise not, Ix)rd, the praise
Our stammering tongues are singing : When we shall rise to Thee
In realms of light alx>ve. In higher, nobler strains.
We'll sing the God of love. . Joii. Sam. Dietench, 1 721-1797, Tr.

2 Thou callest what was not
To life and conscious pleasure ; And beings round Thee spread
In numbers without measure ; Thy nature all is love.
And works of boundless skill Unceasingly employed.
Thy schemes of iove fulfill.
3 Thou speakest, and 'tis done;
W^hen but Thy word was given, The frame of nature ro.se —
The earth and starry heaven. Thy will throughout the world
Such deeds of power show, As creatures else woirld think
Beyond all power to do.
4 'Tis Thine alone, to live
And reign supreme for ever. Life's Thine to give or take,
We breathe but by Thy favor. The soul that rules in us
We have. Most High, from Thee Were such Thy will, it dies,
But Thou must ever be.

2 Thou art the Father of heaven and earth ; Worlds uncreated to Thee owe their birth ; All the creation, Thy voice when it heard, Started to light and to life at Thy word.
3 Onward the sun and the moon on their march Span with the rainbow the firmament's arch ; Stars yet unknown, and whose light is to come, Find in creation their place and a home.
4 Earth with the mountain, the river, the plain. Sky with the dew-drop, the wind, and the rain. Beast of the forest, wild bird of the air.
All are Thy creatures, and all are Thy care.
5 Ocean the restless, and waters that swell, Lightnings that flash over flood, over fell, Own Thee the Master Almighty, and call Thee the Creator, the Father of all.
6 Yea, Thou art Father of all, and Thy love Pity for man that is fallen doth move ; Sharing our nature, though sinless, Thy Son Came to redeem us, by Satan undone.
7 God in three Persons! give ear to our prayer; Thought, word, and deed in Thine image repair; Guide us in life, and protect to the last;
And, at Thine advent. Lord, pardon the past.

2 The unwearied sun, from day to day. Does his Creator's power display, Aud publishes to every laud The work of au almighty hand.
3 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And nightly to the listeuiug earth Repeats the story of her birth ;
4 Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole.
5 What though in solemn silence all Move round the dark terrestrial ball? What though nor real voice nor sound Amid their radiant orbs be found?
6 In reason's ear they all rejoice. And utter forth a glorious voice; For ever singing, as they sing, "The hand that made us is Divine."
Joseph .\ddison, 1712.
65 L. M.
1 High iu the heavens, eternal God,
Thy goodness in full glory shines ; Thy truth shall break through every cloud That veils and darkens Thy designs.
2 Forever firm Thy justice stands,
As mountains their foundations keep; Wise are the wonders of Thy hands ; Thy judgments are a mighty deep.
3 Thy provideuce is kind and large ;
Both man and beast Thy bounty share ; The whole creation is Thy charge, But saints are Thy peculiar care.
4 My God, how excellent Thy grace !
Whence all our hope and comfort springs; The sons of Adam, in distress, Fly to the shadow of Thy wings.
5 From the provisions of Thy house
We shall be fed with sweet repast ; There mercy like a river flows, And brings salvation to our taste.
6 Life, like a fountain rich and free,
Springs from the presence of my Ix)rd. And in Thy light our souls shall see The glories promised in Thy word.

2 Around Him suns and systems swim
In harmony and light ; Before Him harps angelic hymn
His praises day and night ; Yet to the contrite, day and night,
In mercy turneth He: My spirit thirsts for Thee, O Lord,
My spirit thirsts for Thee !
3 Yea, though His works are infinite,
His power upholds them all ; He clothes the lilies of the field.
And marks the sparrow's fall : Who listens to the raven's cry.
Will bend His ear to me ; My spirit thirsts for Thee, O Lord !
My spirit thirsts for Thee !

1 When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise.
40
Unnumbered comforts, to my soul, Thy tender care bestowed,
Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed.
When, in the slippery paths of youth,
With heedless steps, I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe,
And led me up to man. Ten thousand, thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart,
That tastes those gifts with joy.
Through every period of my life,
Thy goodness I'll pursue ; And after death, in distant worlds.
The glorious theme renew. Through all eternity, to Thee
A joyful song I'll raise ; For, O, eternity's too short
To utter all Thy praise ■

2 Let mountains from their seats be hurled
Down to the deep, and buried there, Convulsions shake the solid world — Our faith shall never yield to fear.
3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar ;
In sacred pence our souls abide; While every nation, every shore,
Trembles and dreads the swelling tide.
4 There is a stream whose gentle flow
Supplies the city of our God,
Life, love, and joy, still gliding through, And watering our divine abode.
5 That sacred stream. Thine holy word,
Our grief allays, our fear controls; Sweet peace Thy promises aflford.
And give new strength to fainting souls.

He plauts His foot-steps in the sea, And rides up - on the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill, He treasures up His bri«!;ht designs, And works His sovereign will.
3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take !
The clouds ye so much dread, Are big with mercy, and will 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.

1 Thy way, O God, is in the sea ;
Thy paths I cannot trace,
Nor comprehend the mystery

2 Here the dark veils of flesh and sense
My captive soul surround ; Mysterious deeps of providence My wondering thoughts confound.
3 As through a glass, I dimly see
The wonders of Thy love ; How little do I know of Thee, Or of the joys above !
4 'Tis but in part I know Thy will:
I bless Thee for the sight ; When will Thy love the rest reveal, In glory's clearer light?
5 With rapture shall I then survey
Thy providence and grace, And spend an everlasting day In wonder, love, and praise.
Rev. John Fawcett, 1782.
The barren wilderness shall smile,
With sudden greens and herbage crowned,
And streams shall murmur all around.
4 Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no ill. For Thou. () Lord, art with me still : Thy friendly crook shall give me aid. And guide me through the dreadful shade. Joseph Addison, 17x2.

To gain perfection, God I fear: And thus, from duty never swerving,
The Maker's image may appear ! If love Divine my soul doth quicken
Each duty promptly to fulfill, I know, though sins around me thicken,
I serve alone the Master's will.
O God display Thy loving-kindness
My grandest vision e'er to be, To strengthen all my good impulses
My life and all to give to Thee; Thy love my comfort when I languish.

Full royally He rode, And on the wings of mighty winds Came flying all abroad.

By day and by night they attend, The heirs of salvation to keep.
Bright seraphs, dispatched from the throne, Kepair to their stations assigned ;
And angels elect are sent down To guard the elect of mankind.
Their worship no interval knows : Their fervor is still on the wing ;
And, while they protect my repose. They chant to the praise of \wy King.
I, too, at the season ordained. Their chorus forever shall join ;
And love and adore, without end. Their faithful Creator and mine.

2 Their golden crowns they fling
Before His throne of light.
And strike the rapturons string,
Unceasing, day and night :
"Earth, heaven, and .sea. Thy praise declare
For Thine they are, and Thine shall be.
3 "O Holy, Holy Lord,
Creation's sovereign King ! Thv majesty adored Let all creation sing; Who wast, and art, and art to be ; Nor time shall see Thy sway de]xirt
4 "Great are Thy works of praise, O Gml of boundless might ;
All just and true Thy ways. Thou King of saints, in light : Let all alx>ve, and all below. Conspire to show Thy power and love.
5 " Who shall not fear Thee, I>ord, And magnify Thy Name?
Thy judgments, sent abroad. Thy holiness proclaim: Nations sliall throng from every shore, And all adore in one loud song."
6 While thus the pwwers on high Their swelling chorus raise. Let earth and man reply. And echo back the praise : His glory own, first, hist, and best ; God ever blest, and Goil alone.

With infinite compassion : "Go hence, ray heart's most precious one
Be to the lost salvation ; Death, his relentless tyrant, stay, And l>ear him from his sins away With Thee to live forever ! ' '
3 The Son came, saying: "Cling to me.
Thy sorrows now are ending ; Freely I give Myself to thee.
Thy life with mine defending; For I am thine and thou art mine. And when I am there thou shalt shine. The foe shall never reach us."

This my last charge I leave thee."

1 All that I was, my sin, my guilt,
My death, was all my own ; All that I am, I owe to Thee, My gracious God, alone.
2 The evil of my former state
Was mine, and only mine ; The good in which I now rejoice Is Thine, and only Thine.
3 The darkness of my former state.
The bondage, all w'as mine; The light of life in which I walk, The liberty, is Thine.
4 Thy grace first made me feel my sin,
It taught me to believe ; Then in believing, peace I found. And now I live, I live.
5 All that I am, even here on earth.
All that I hope to be When Jesus comes and glory dawns, I owe it. Lord, to Thee.

O Sovereign, by no host attended! Strong Champion, by no spear defended!
O Prince of Peace, and David's Son ! — Thy throne, from whose approach for ever. The kings of earth Thy steps would sever,
Is by Thee, without battle, won.
And at Thy coming, clothed with power. The sullen storm forgets to lower.
And waves grow calm beneath Thy tread ; The bonds, by man's rebellion blighted. In a new covenant are united,
And sin and death in fetters led.
3 Unto the empire Thou hast founded, Though not of earth, nor by earth bounded.
All earthly realms shall subject be : J'orth into every laud and nation, Thy servants, armed with Thy salvation,
March to prepare a way for Thee.
5 O Lord of grace and truth unending, And love ail reach of thought transcending,
Revisit us, so sorely tried ! Thine Advent once again is needed. To form anew Thy peace, unheeded
By worldly haughtiness and pride.
O let Thy light, which ne'er shall vanish. From earth the power of darkness banish !
The lurid flames of discord quell ; That we, the thrones and people loyal. As brethren 'neath Thy sceptre royal.
In Thy great Father's house may dwell.

Soft and sweet, doth entreat : "Flee from woe and danger; Brethren, come : from all that grieves you
You are freed ; all you need I will surely give you."
3 Come, then, let us hasten yonder ;
Here let all, great and small Kneel in awe and wonder ; Love Him who with love is yearning;
Hail the Star, that from far Bright with hope is burning !
4 Ye who pine in weary sadness,
Weep no more, for the door Now is found of gladness. Cling to Him, for He will guide you
Where no cross, pain or loss, Can again betide you.
5 Hither come, ye heavy-hearted.
Who for sin, deep within. Long and sore have smarted :
70
From the poisoned wounds you're feeling
Help is near ; One is here Mighty for their healing.
Hither come, ye poor and wretched ;
Know His will is to fill Every hand outstretched ; Here are riches without measure,
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, ray heart Thou stillest
Calm I rest, on Thv breast, All this void Thou fillest
Heedfully my Lord I'll cherish. Live to Thee, and with Thee,
Dying, shall not perish ;
But shall dwell with Thee forever, Far on high, in the joy
That can alter never.

For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above, "While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wond'riug 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 blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin. Where meek souls will receive Him still,
The dear Christ enters in.
O Holy Child of Bethlehem !
Descend to ns, we pray ; Cast out our sin, and enter lu ;
Be born in us to-day. We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us.
Our Lord Emmanuel !

2 Then to the watchful shepherd it was told, Who heard the an;ielie herald's voice : " Behold, I briug good tidings of a Saviour's birth
To you, and all the nations nj>on earth :
This day hath God fultilled His promised word ;
This day is lx>ru a Saviour, Christ the Lord."
3 He spake: and straightway the celestial choir In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire; The praises of redeeming love they sang,
And heaven's whole orb with hallelujahs rang: GtKl's highest glory wa.s their anthem still. Peace upon earth, and mutual good will.
4 To Bethlehem straight the enlightened shepherds ran, To see the wonder (iod had wrought for man ;
And found, with Jose])h and the blessed maid. Her Son, the Saviour, in a njanger laid : .\maze<l, the wondrous story they ]>roclaim, The first apostles of His infant fame.
5 Let U9, like these good shepherds, then, employ Our grateful voices to proclaim the joy: Trace we the Babe, who has retrieved ojir loss, From His poor manger to His bitter cross; Treading His steps, assi.sted by His grace.
Till man's first heavenly state again takes plaoe.

2 'Tis now fulfilled what God decreeil. — " From Jacob shall a Star proceed : " .\nd lo. the eastern sages stand,
To read in heaven the Lord's command.
3 While outward signs the star displays. An inward light the Lonl conveys, .\nd urges them, with force benign. To seek the Giver of the sign.
4 True love can brook no dull delay. Nor toil nor dangers stop their way : Home, kindred, fatherland, and all. They leave at once, at God's high call.
5 O Jesus, while the star of grace Invites us now to seek Thy face. May we no more that grace repel.
Or quench that light which shines so well

Cold on His cradle the dew-drops are shining.
Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall ; Angels adore Him in slumber reclining.
Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all. Shall we not yield Him, in costly devotion,
Odors of Edom, and oflferiugs divine. Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine ? Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
Vainly with gifts would His favor secure ; Richer by far is the heart's adoration,
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness and lend us Thine aid ; Star of the east, the horizon adorning.
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger-bed ; There to bend the knee before Him whom heav'n and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek the mercy-seat.
As they oflFered gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare ; So may we with holy joy. Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ ! to Thee our heav'nly King.

4 Holy Jesus ! every day Keep us in the narrow way ; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide.
5 In the heav'nly country bright, Need they no created light ; Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown, Thou its Sun which goes not down, There forever may we sing Hallelujah to our King.

'Tis only He can save ; To thousands hungering wearily
A wondrous meal He gave ; Full soon, celestially fed,

And harvest when He brake.
5 O where is He that trod the sea?

"Come unto Me, dear children,
And I will give you light." O, loving voice of Jesus,
Which comes to cheer the night: Our hearts were filled with sadness.
And we had lost our way, But morning brings us gladness,
And songs the break of day.
"Come unto Me, ye fainting, And I will give you life."
O, peaceful voice of Jesus,
Which comes to end our strife :

The foe is stern and eager, The fight is fierce and long ;
But Thou hast made me mighty. And stronger than the strong.
" And whosoever cometh
I will not cast him out." O patient love of Jesus,
Which drives away our doubt : Which calls us, — very sinners.
Unworthy though we be Of love so free and boundless, —
To come, dear Lord, to Thee.

Our daily cross, whate'er it be. And gladly for Thine own dear sake
In paths of pain to follow Thee. As on our daily way we go, 5
Through light or shade, in calm or strife, O may we bear Thy marks below

Whose word the mountain rendeth !
Jesus, I never can forget
The pangs Thou hast sustained :
I'll Thee, long as my pulse doth beat, Adore with thanks unfeigned ;
Yea, Thou shalt be my soul's deliglit ;
In danger's pafh, in sorrow's night,
My guide and consolation : In life and death I will be Thine, And on Thy faithfulness recline
With humble resignation.
My song in Thy great loveliness
Both day and night shall centre; Amidst all wants and feebleness
I'll on Thy service venture. My life's whole stream for Thee shall flow; O may, by all I speak or do,
Thy holy Name be praised, And all that Thou hast done for me, Upon my heart indelibly
Forever I'll impress it.

2 With scourges, blows and spitting, they reviled Thee :
They crowned Thy brow with thorns while King they styled Thee; When, foint with pains Thy tortured body suffered, Then gall they ofiFered.
3 Dear Saviour, why by woes wast Thou surrounded? Ah, Lord, for my transgressions Thou wast wounded, God took the guilt from me, who should have paid it ;
On Thee He laid it !
4 How strange and marvellous was this correction I Falls the good Shepherd in His sheep's protection ; The servants' debt behold the Master paying,
P'or them obeying.
5 The Righteous dies, who walked with God true-hearted : The sinner lives, who has from God departed ;
By man came death, yet Man its fetters breaketh ; God it o'ertaketh.
6 Eternal King! in power and love excelling,
Fain would my heart and mouth Thy praise be telling; Bat how can man's weak powers at all come nigh Thee, How magnify Thee?
7 For Thee, my God, I'll bear all griefs and losses : No persecution, no disgrace or crosses,
No pains of death or tortures e'er shall move me,. Howe'er they prove rae. 98

2 Sweet resting-place of every heart
That feels the plague of sin. Yet kuows that deep raysterious joy, The peace of God within.
3 Dear snflfering Lamb, Thy bleeding wounds,
With cords of love Divine, Have drawn our willing hearts to Thee, And linked our life with Thiue.
4 Thy sympathies and hopes are ours ;
Dear Lord, we wait to see Creation, all, below, above, Redeemed and blest by Thee.
5 Our longing eyes would fain behold
That bright and blessed brow. Once wrung with bitterest anguish, wear Its crown of glory now.
fi Why linger, then? Come. Saviour, come, Responsive to our call ! Come, claim Thine ancient power and reigii The heir and Lord of all.

While His dear cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears,

Draw near, O world ! and mark Him well; Behold the drops of blood that tell
How sore His conflict with the foe ; And hark ! how from that noble heart Sigh after sigh doth slowly start,
From depths of yet unfathomed woe.
'Tis I to whom these pains belong, 'Tis I should suffer for my wrong,
Bound hand and foot in heavy chains ; Thy scourge. Thy fetters, whatsoe'er Thou bearest, 'tis my soul should bear,
For she hath well deserved such pains.
Alas ! my Saviour, who could dare Bid Thee such bitter anguish bear,
What evil heart entreat Thee thus? For Thou art good, hast wronged none; As we and ours too oft have done :
Thou hast not sinned, dear Lord, like us.
6 Yet Thou dost even for my sake On Thee, in love, the burdens take,
That weighed my spirit to the ground. Yea : Thou art made a curse for me, That I might yet be blest through Thee:
My healing in Thy wounds is found.
I and my sins, that number more Than yonder sands upon the shore,
Have brought to pass this agony. 'Tis I have caused the floods of woe That now Thy dying soul o'erflow.
And those sad hearts that watch by Thee.
Thy cross shall be before xnj sight My hope, my joy by day and night,
Whate'er I do, where'er I rove ; And, gazing, I will gather thence The form of spotless innocence.

2 O noblest brow and dearest,
In other days the world All feared when Thou appearedst ;
What shame on Thee is hurled ! How art Thou pale with anguish,
With sore abuse and scorn ; How does that visage languish
Which once was bright as morn !
;^ What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered
Was all for sinners' gain : Mine, mine was the transgression,
But Thine the deadly pain. Lo, here I fall, my Saviour !
'Tis I deserve Thy place ; Look on me with Thy favor.
Vouchsafe to me Thy grace.
4 Receive me, my Redeemer :
My Shepherd, make me Thine ; Of ever}'^ good the fountain, Thou art the spring of mine.
Thy lips with love distilling, And milk of truth sincere,
With heaven's bliss are filling The soul that trembles here.
5 The joy can ne'er be spoken,
Above all joys beside. When in Thy body broken
I thus with safety hide : My Lord of Life, desiring
Thy glory now to see. Beside Thy cross expiring,
I'd breathe my soul to Thee.
6 What language shall I borrow
To thank Thee, dearest Friend, For this Thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end ? O make me Thine for ever ;
And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never
Outlive my love to Thee.

2 Thiue own disciple to the Jews has sold Thee;
With friendship's kis.s and loyal word he came : How oft of faithful love my lips have told Thee. While Thou hast seen my falsehood and my shame.
3 With taunts and scoflfs they mock what seems Thy weakness,
With blows and outrage addins: pain to pain :
Thou art unmoved and steadfast in Thy meekness;
When I am wronged how quickly I complain,
4 My Lord, my Saviour, when I see Thee wearing
Upon Thy bleeding brow the crown of thorn, Shall I for pleasure live, or shrink from bearing Whate'er my lot may be of pain or scorn?
5 O Victim of Thy love ! O pangs most healing!
O saving death ! O wounds that I adore! O shame most glorious! Christ, before Thee kneeling, J r>ray Thee keep me Thine for evermore.

How up- on the cross a vic-tira, Van- quish-ing
death, He died.
Eating of the tree forbidden, Man has sunk in Satan's snare,
When our pityiu«; Creator Did this second tree prepare,
Destined, many apes later, That tirst evil to repair.
So. when now nt len«;th the fullness Of the time foretold drew nijih,
God the f^n. the world's Creator, r.eft His Father's throne on hif;h,
From the Virjxin's womb appearing Clothed in our humanity.
Thus did Christ to perfect manhood In our mortal flesh attain ;
Tiien of His free choice He goeth To a death of bitter pain ;
He, the Lamb upon the altar Of the cross, for us was slain.
Lo, with pall His thirst He quenches See the thorns ujm)u His brow ;
Nails His tender flesh are rending; See, His side is pierced now ;
Whence, to cleanse the whob'creaiiop, Streams of blood and water flow.
6 Christ, to Thee with God the Father,
And, O Holy Ghost, to Thee, Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving,
And unwearied pnises be: Honor, glory aiKl dominion
And eternal victory.

2 Here I'll sit, for ever viewing
Mercy's streams in streams of blood ; Precious drops, ray soul bedewing, Plead and claim my peace with God.
3 Truly blessed is this station.
Low before His cross to lie. While I see Divine compassion Pleading in His languid eye.
4 Here I find my hope of heaven.
While upon the Lamb I gaze; Loving much, and much forgiven. Let my heart o'erflow with praise.
5 Lord, in loving contemplation
Fix my heart and eyes on Thee, Till I taste Thy full salvation, And Thine unveiled glories see.
6 For Thy sorrows I adore Thee,
For the griefs that wrought our peace Gracious Saviour, I implore Thee, In my heart Thy love increase.
7 Love and grief my heart dividing,
With my tears His feet I'll bathe; Constant still in faith abiding, Life deriving from His death.

1 In the cross of Christ I glory.
Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime.
2 When the woes of life o'ertake me,
Hopes deceive, and fears annoy, Never shall the cross forsake me : Lo ! it glows with peace and joy.
3 When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my j^ay, From the cross the radiance streaming Adds more lustre to the day.
4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure.
By the cross are sanctified ; Peace is there that knows no measure, Joys that through all time abide.
5 In the cross of Christ I glory,
Towering o'er the wrecks of time ; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime.

Are whelmed beneath the sea ; And every heart, now light and brave, Maj' face the things to be.

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

() He lives ! His presence hath not ceased. Though foes and fears be rife ; And thus we hail in Easter's feast. A world renewed to life !

1 Hosanna to the Prince of Light,
Who cloth'd Himself in clay, Entered the iron gates of death, And tore the bars away.
2 Death is no more the king of dread,
Since our Emmanuel rose ; He took the t^^rant's sting away, And spoiled our hellish foes.
3 See how the Conqueror mounts aloft,
And to His Father flies, With scars of honor in His flesh, And triumph in His eyes.
4 Raise your devotion, mortal tongues,
To reach His blest abode ; Sweet be the accents of your songs To our incarnate God.
5 Bright angels, strike your loudest strings.
Your sweetest voices raise; Let heaven, and all created things, Sound our Emmanuel's praise.

At His second coming yield, When tlie golden ears of harvest
Will their heads before Him wave. Ripened by His glorious sunshine.
From the furrows of the grave.

2 Behold my Saviour dying !
I hear His parting breath ; Entombed I see Him lying,
A captive held of death ; Yet peacefully He sleepeth,
No foe disturbs Him now, And love Divine still keepeth
Its impress on His brow.
4 The Lord is risen : He liveth,
The First-born from the dead; To Him the Father giveth
To be creation's Head. The grave, no more appalling,
Invites me to repose ; Asleep in Jesus falling,
To rise as Jesus rose.
But lo ! the seal is broken !
Roll back the mighty stone, In vain was set the token
That friend and foe should own. The weeping Mary bending
Sees not her Saviour tliere ; But sons of light attending
A joyful message bear.

From heaven's exhaustless spring, Theu, grave, where is thy victory?
And, death, where is thy sting?

'2 Thou art gone where uow is given What no mortal might could gain, On the eternal throne of heaven In Thy Father's jK)\ver to reign.
3 There Thy kingdoms all adore Thee, Ifeaven above and earth below ; While the depths of hell before Thee Trembling and amazed bow.
4 We. O Lord, with hearts adoring,
Follow Thee beyond the sky : Hear our prayers Thy grace imploring. Lift our souls to Thee on high.
5 So when Thou again in glory
On the cloutls of heaven shalt shine. We Thy flock may stand before Thee, Owned for evermore as Thine.
6 Hail ! all hail ! In Thee confiding.
Jesus, Thee shall all adore.
In Thy Father's might abiding
With one Spirit evermore.

2 Thou art gone up before us. Lord,
To make tor us a jilace. That we may be where now Thou art, And look upon Thy face.
3 .\nd ever on our earthly path
.\ gleam of glory lie.s, A light still breaks behind the cloud That veiled Thee from our eyes.
4 Lift up our heart.s. lift up our minds:
Let Thy dear grace be given, That while we wander here below, Our treasure be in heaven ;
5 That where Thou art. at God's right hand.
Our hope, our love may be : Dwell Thou in us, that we may dwell For evermore in Thee.

2 See that your lamps are burning,
Replenish them with oil ; Look now for your salvation,
The end of sin and toil. The watchers on the mountain
Proclaim the Bridegroom near, Go meet Him as He cometh
With hallelujahs clear.
3 Ye wise aud holy virgins.
Now raise your voices higher, Until, in songs of triumph.
They meet the angel-choir. The marriage-feast is waiting,
The gates wide open stand ; Up ! up ! ye heirs of glory :
The Bridegroom is at hand !
4 Ye saints, who here in patience
Your cross and sufferings bore Shall live and reign forever. When sorrow is no more ;
152
Around the Throne of glory The Lamb ye shall behold,
In triumph cast before Him Your diadems of gold.
There flourish palms of victory ;
There radiant garments are ; There stands the peaceful harv«
Beyond the reach of war. There, after stormy winter.
The flowers of earth arise, Aud from the grave's long slumber
Shall meet again our eyes.
Our Hope and Expectation,
O Jesus, now appear ; Arise, thou Suu so longed for,
O'er this benighted sphere. With hearts and hands uplifted,
We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth's redemption.
And ever be with Thee.

Every meek, benighted heart. Come and manifest the favor
God hath for our ransomed race ; Come, Thou universal Saviour,
Come, and bring the gospel grace.

Give the pardon of our sins. By Thine all-restoring merit.

Their wondrous powers impart. Grant. Saviour, what we most desire, — Thy Spirit in our heart.
3 Spirit of life, and light, and love.
Thy heavenly influence give; Quicken our souls, our guilt remove, That we in Christ may live.
To our benighted minds reveal,
The glories of His grace, And bring us where no clouds conceal
The brightness of His face.
4 His love within us .shed abroad, —
Life's ever-springing well ; Till God in ns, and we in God. In love eternal dwell.

2 Faith, that mountains could remove, Tongues of earth or heaven above, Knowledge — all things — empty prove,
Without heavenly love.
3 Love is kind, and suffers long; Love is meek, and thinks no wrong; Love, than death itself more strong
Give us heavenly love.
4 Prophecy will fade away, Melting in the light of day ; Love will ever with us stay:
Give us heavenly love.
5 Faith will vanish into sight ; Hope be emptied in delight ;
Love in heaven will shine more bright: Give us heavenly love.
6 Faith and hope and love we see Joining hand in hand agree ; But the greatest of the three,
And the best, is love.
7 From the overshadowing
Of Thy gold aud silver wing.
Shed on us, who to Thee sing,
Holy, heavenly love.

2 We are sinful : cleanse us, Lord ; We are faint : Thy strength afford ; Lost, — until by Thee restored.
Comforter Divine!
3 Like the dew, Thy peace distill ; Guide, subdue our wayward will, Things of Christ unfolding still,
Comforter Divine !
4 With us, for us, intercede,
And with voiceless groanings, plead Our unutterable need, Comforter Divine!

2 See the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal Love. Well supply thy sons and daughters.
And all fear of want remove : Who can faint, when such a river
Ever flows their thirst to assuage ; Grace, which, like the Lord the Giver,
Never fails from age to age?

Thus deriving from their banner Light by night, and shade by day.

2 See round Thine Ark the angry billows curling, See how Thy foes their banners are unfurling ; Lord, while their darts envenomed they are hurling,
Thou canst preserve us.
3 Lord, Thou canst help when earthly armor faileth ; Lord, Thou canst save when deadly sin assaileth ; Lord, o'er Thy Rock nor death nor hell prevaileth":
Grant us Thy peace, Lord !
4 Peace, in our hearts, our evil thoughts assuaging. Peace, in Thy church, where brothers are engaging, Peace, when the world its bus}'^ war is waging ;

For her my prayers ascend ; To her my cares and toils be given Till toils and cares shall end.

I prize her heavenly ways, Her sweet communion, solemn vows. Her hymns of love and praise.

2 We are travelling home to God In the way the fathers trod ; They are happy now, and we Soon their happiness shall see.
3 Shout, ye little flock and blest ; Ye on Jesns' throne shall rest; There your seat is now prepared, There's your kingdom and reward.
4 Lift your eyes, ye sons of light, Ziou's city is in sight ;
There our endless home .shall be, There our Lord we soon shall .see.
5 Fear not, brethren ; joyful stand On the borders of your land ; Jesus Christ, your Father's Son, Bids you undismayed go on.
6 I^rd, obediently we go, Gladly leaving all below; Only Thou our Leader be. And we still will follow Thee.

1 Come, let us join our friends above,
That have obtained the prize. And on the eagle wings of love To joy celestial rise.
2 T^t all the s;iints terrestrial .sing.
With those to glory gone; For all the .servants of our King, In earth and heaven, are one.
3 One family, we dwell in Him.
<^ne Church above, beneath ; Though now divided by the .stream. The narrow stream, of death.
4 One army of the living God,
To His command we bow ; Part of His host has cros.sed the flood, And part is crossing now.
5 His militant, embodied host.
With wishful looks we stand. And long to see that happy coast, And reach that heavenly land.
6 E'en now by faith we join our hands
With those that went before, And greet the blood-l>esprinkled bands On the eternal shore.
Ix)rd .Tesus, be our constant Guide,
And when the word is given, Bid the cold waves of death divide. And land as all in heaven.

Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine. Hallelujah !
5 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, Steals on the ear the distant triumph-song, And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.

3 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honor lone, Wrestling on till life was ended. Following not the sinful throng ; These, who well the fight snstained. Triumph through the Lamb have gained.
These are they whose hearts were riven,
Sore with woe and anguish tried. Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified ; Now. their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more.
These like priests have watched and waited. Offering up to Christ theif will ; Soul and bcnly consecrated,
Day and night they serve Hira still : Now in Ciod's most holy place Blest thev stand before His face.

2 They have come from tribulation,
And have washed their robes in blood, Washed them in the blood of Jesus ;
Tried they were, and firm they stood ; Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented.
Sawn asunder, slain with sword. They have conquered death and Satan
By the might of Christ the Lord.
3 Marching with Thy cross their banner.
They have triumphed, following Thee the Captain of salvation.

Gladly, Lord, with Thee they suffered. Gladly, Lord, with Thee they died,
And by death to life immortal They were born and glorified.

Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river,
Holy bliss and infinite . Love and peace they taste for ever,
And all truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision
Of the blessed Trinity.

2 If yon cannot cross the ocean.
And the heathen lands explore, You can find the heathen nearer,
You can help them at your door; If you cannot give your thousands,
You can give the widow's mite, And the least you give to Jesus
Will be precious in His sight.
3 If you cannot speak like angels.
If you cannot preach like Paul, You can tell the love of Jesus, You can say He died for all.

If you cannot rouse the wicked With the judgment's dread alarms,
You can lead the little children To the Saviour's waiting arms.
Let none hear you idly saying,
"There is nothing I can do," While the souls of men are dying,
And the Master calls for you. Take the task He gives you gladly,
Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth —
"Here am I, send me, send me."

Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing;
Were not the right man on our side, The man of God's own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He ;
Lord Sabaoth His Name,
From age to age the same, And He must win the battle.
And though this world, with devils filled.
Should threaten to undo us ; We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us: The prince of darkness grim, — We tremble not for him ; His rage we can endure. For lo! his doom is sure,
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 thev mav kill :
God's truth abideth still, His kingdom lasts for ever.

As Thon hast sought, so let me seek Thy err- ingchil-dren lost and lone.
'-3 O lead me. Lord, that I may lead
The wandering and the wavering feet ;
0 feed me. Lord, that I may feed
Thy hungering ones with manna sweet.
3 O strengthen me, that, while I stand
Firm on the rock, and strong in Thee,
1 may stretch out a loving hand
To wrestlers with the troubled sea.
4 O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
The precious things Thou dost impart ; And wing my words, that they may reach The hidden depths of many a heart.
5 O 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.
6 O use me, Lord, use even me,
Just as Thou wilt, and when, and where. Until Thy blessed face I see. Thy rest, Thy joy. Thy glory share.
Frances R. Havergal, 1872.
Why should they longer such remain ? For Thou canst graft them in again.

Great God of Abra'am ! hear our prayer. Let Abra'am's seed Thy mercy share. O may they now, at length, return. And look on Him they pierced, and mourn. ^
Though outcasts still, enstranged from Thee, Cut off from their own olive tree,
1 It may not be our lot to wield The sickle in the ripened field ; Not ours to hear, on summer eves, The reaper's song among the sheaves.
2 Yet ours the grateful service whence Comes, day by day. the recompense ; The hope, the trust, the purpose stayed. The fountain, and the noonday shade.

2 Then, brother man, fold to thy heart thy brother !
For where love dwells, the peace of God is there ; To worship rightly is to love each other ;
Each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer.
3 Follow, with reverent steps, the great example
Of Him whose holy work was doing good ; So shall the wide earth seem our Father's temple, Each loving life a psalm of gratitude.
4 Thus shall all shackles fall ; the stormy clangor
Of wild war music o'er the earth shall cease; Love shall tread out the baleful fires of auger. And in its ashes plant the tree of peace.

.5 The saints shall flourish in His days, Dressed in the robes of joy and praise ; Peace, like a river from His throne. Shall flow to nations yet unknown.
Rev. Isaac Watts, 1719.
Shine on the darkened and the cold ; Recall the wanderers tVom Thy fold ; Unite those now who walk apart ; Confirm the weak and doubting heart :
So they with us may evermore Such grace with wondering thanks adore. And endless praise to Thee be given Bv all the Chnrcli in earth and heaven.

Is like the Maker's love, Wherewith encompassed great and small
In peace and order move. The moon above, the Church below,
A wondrous race they run ; But all their radiance, all their glow,
Each borrows of its sun.
3 The Saviour lends the light and heat
That crowns His holy hill ; The saints, like stars, around His seat
Perform their courses still. The dew of heaven is like Thy grace,
It steals in silence down ; But, where it lights, the favored place
By richest fruits is known.

From year to year does knowledge soar ; And, as it soars, the gospel light
Becomes effulgent more and raore. More glorious, still, as centuries roll,
New regions blest, new |x>wers unfurled. Expanding with the expanding soul.
Its radiance shall o'erdow the world. — Flow to restore, but not destroy ;

3 Blest are the saints who sit on high, Around Thy throne of majesty ; Thy brightest glories shine above. And all their work is praise and love.
4 Blest are the souls who find a place Within the temple of Th}- grace ; There they behold Thy gentler rays. And seek Thy face, and learn Thy praise.
5 Cheerful they walk with growing strength Till all shall meet in heaven at length ; Till all before Thy face appear,
And join in nobler worship there.
Rev. Isaac Watts, 1719.
1 This day at Thy creating word
First o'er the earth the light was poured O Lord, this day upon us shiue^ And fill our souls with light Divine.
2 This day the Lord for sinners slain In might victorious rose again :
O Jesus, may we raised be
From death of sin, to life in Thee.
3 This day the Holy Spirit came With fiery tongues of cloven-flame : O Spirit, fill our hearts this day With grace to hear, and grace to pray.
4 O day of Light, and Life, and Grace, From earthly toils sweet resting-place, Thy hallowed hours, best gift of love, Give we again to God above!

The day of rest, how sweet ! To breathe the Sabbath's holy air
And sit at Jesus' feet. What vain disturbing thoughts infest
My bosom as their den ; O, that they knew the day of rest,
Would they disturb rae then ? Fain would I lay my burden down
That wounds me with its weight. To gaze awhile at yonder crown.
And press to heaven's gate. I ask the foretaste of the peace,
The rest, the joy, the love, Which when the earthly Sabbaths cease,
Await the saints above.

2 O happy souls that pray- Where God appoints to hear ! O happy men that pay
Their constant service there ! The}^ praise Thee still ; and happy they That love the way to Zion's hill.
3 They go from strength to strength, Through this dark vale of tears, Till each arrives at length,
Till each in heaven appears : O glorious seat ! Thou, God our King, Shalt thither bring our willing feet.
4 The Lord His people loves;
His hand no good withholds From those His heart approves.
From humble, contrite souls : Thrice happy he, O God of hosts, "Whose spirit trusts alone in Thee!

6 Here is my heart ! — O Friend of friends be near, To make each tempter fly, And when at last — I death await with fear,
Give me the victory ! Then gladly on Thy love reposing. Let me say, when my life is closing — Here is my heart !

Behold, I prostrate fall ;
Let every sin be crucified.

Adopt me for Thine own ; That I may see Thy glorious face, And worship at Thy throne !
4 May the dear blood, once shed for me,
My blest atonement prove,
That I from first to last may be
The purchase of Thy love !
5 Let every thought, and work, and word,
To Thee be ever given : Then life shall be Thy service, Lord, And death the gate of heaven !

To keep His statutes still ! O that my God would grant me grace To know and do His will !
2 Order my footsteps by Thy word.
And make my heart sincere ; Let sin have no dominion, Lord, But keep my conscience clear.
3 Assist my soul, too apt to stray,
A stricter watch to keep : And should I e'er forget Thy way, Restore Thy wandering sheep.

'Tis a delightful road : Nor let my head, or heart, or hands Offend against my God.

From amidst life's social ties. From the farm and merchandise, Come, for all is now prepared ; Freely given, be freely shared. Blessed are the lips that taste Our Redeemer's marriage feast; Blessed who on Him shall feed, Bread of Life, and drink indeed.
BlessM, for their thirst is o'er, They shall never hunger more. Make, then, once again your choice, Hear to-day His calling voice ; Servants, do your Master's will ; Bidden guests. His table fill ; Come, before His wrath shall swear: Ye shall never enter there.

Though life through all its fields should pine and die; Though the sweet verdure should forsake each vale. And every stream of every land run dry.
3 True Tree of Life, of Thee I eat and live;
Who eateth of Thy fruit shall never die ; 'Tis Thine the everlasting health to give. The youth and bloom of immortality.
Feeding on Thee all weakness turns to power, This sickly soul revives, like earth in spring;
Strength floweth on and in, each buoyant hour, This being seems all energy, all wing.

At Thy dear cross we find the eternal Bread,
And in Thy empty tomb the living Well.

2 Through the Church's long eclipse, When, from priest or pastor's lips, Truth Divine was never heard,— 'Mid the famine of the word, Still these symbols witness gave To His love who died to save.
3 All who bear the Saviour's Name, Here their common faith proclaim; Though diverse In tongue or rite.
Here, one body we unite; Breaking thus one mystic bread. Members of one common Head.
4 Come, the blessed emblems share, Which the Saviour's death declare; Come, on truth im mortal feed ; For His flesh is meat indeed : Saviour! witness with the sign, That our ransomed souls are Thine.

At noon beneath the Rock
Of Ages rest and pray ; Sweet is the shadow from the heat,
When the sun smites by day.
At eve shut to the door, Round the home-altar pray,
And finding there the house of God, At heaven's gate close the day.
When midnight seals our eyes,
Let each in spirit say, I sleep, but my heart waketh, Lord,
With Thee to watch and pray.
James Montgomery, 1842.
421 LAMPARDIUS.
2 There is a place where Jesus sheds ' The oil of gladness on our heads,
A place than all besides more sweet ; It is the blood-stained mercy-seat.
3 There is a spot where spirits blend, I Where friend holds fellowship with friend, Though sundered far ; by faith they meet Around the common mercv-seat.
21
Ah, whither could we flee for aid. When tempted, desolate, dismayed. Or how the hosts of hell defeat, Had suffering saints no mercy-seat?
There, there on eagle wings vre soar, And time and seuse seem all no more. And heaven comes down our souls to greet, Aud glory crowns the mercv-seat.

Traver is the hurilen of a sigh, — The tailing of a tear, —
The upward glancing of an eye, When none but God is near.
3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech
That infant lips can try ; Prayer, the sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high.
4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath,
The Christian's native air ; His watchword at the gates of death, — He enters heaven with prayer.
5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice,
Returning from his ways ; While angels, in their songs rejoice, And cry. — "Behold, he prays."'
(» The saints in prayer appear as one, In word, and deed, and mind. While with the Father and the Son Sweet fellowship they find.
7 Nor prayer is made by man alone, The Holy Spirit pleads; And Jesus on th' eternal throne For mourner's intercedes.

There is an eye that never sleeps
Beneath the wing of night ; There is an ear that never shuts
When sink the beams of light.
2 There is an arm that uever tires,
When human strength gives way ; There is a love that never fails, When earthly loves decay.
;i That eye is fixed on seraph throngs ; That arm upholds the sky ; That ear is filled with angel songs; That love is throned on high.
4 But there's a jKiwer which man can wield When mortal aid is vain,
That eye, that arm, that love to reach. That listening ear to gain.
5 That power is prayer, which .soars on high, Through Jesus, to the throne;
And moves the hand which moves the world, To bring salvation down I

1 My God, permit me not to be A stranger to myself and Thee ; Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove,' Forgetful of my highest love.
2 Why should my passions mix with earth, And thus debase my highest birth ?
Why should I cleave to things below, And let my God, my Saviour, go?
3 Call me away from flesh and sense :
One sovereign word can draw me thence ; I would obey the voice Divine, And all inferior joys resign.
4 Be earth, with all her scenes, withdrawn, Let noise and vanity be gone ;
In secret silence of the mind
My heaven, and there my God, I find.

1 What various hind' ranees we meet. In coming to a mercy seat ?
Yet who that knows the worth of prayer. But wishes to be often there?
2 Prayer makes the darkened clouds with-
draw ; Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw, Gives exercise to faith and love, Brings every blessing from above.
3 Restraining prayer, we cease to fight ; Prayer makes the Christian's armor bright; And Satan trembles when he sees
The weakest saint upon his knees.
4 When half the breath thus vainly spent, To heaven in supplication sent.
Our cheerful song would oftener be, "Hear what the Lord hath done for me."

From blush of morn to evening star, As that which calls me to Thy feet — The hour of prayer?
Then in my strength by Thee renewed Then are my sins by Thee forgiven ;
Then dost Thou cheer my solitude. With hopes of heaven.
3 No words can tell what sweet relief Here for my every want I find : What strengtii for warfare, balm for grief. What peace of mind !
4 Hushed is eacli doubt, gone every fear; My spirit seems in heaven to stay ; And e'en the j>enitential tear Is wiped away.
Then, when on earth I breathe no more ."> The prayer oft mixed with tears before, I'll sing upon a happier shore. Thy will be done.
Charlotte Elliott. 1834.

Lord, till I reach yon blissful shore.
No privilege so dear shall be As thus my inmost soul to pour
In prayer to Thee.

Johann Zundel, 1855.
1. Love Di-vine, all loves ex-cell-ing, Joy of heav'D, to earth come down!
Breathe, O breathe Thy loving spirit
Into every troubled breast ! Let us all in Thee inherit,
Let us find Thy promised rest. Take away the love of sinning,
Alpha and Omega be ; End of faith, as its Beginning,
Set our hearts at liberty.
Come, Almighty, to deliver.
Let us all Thy life receive ; Graciously return, and never,
Never more Thy temples leave ! Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above. Pray and praise Thee without ceasing.
Glory in Thy perfect love.
4 Finish then Thy new creation,
Pure and spotless let us be ; Let us see Thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in Thee ! Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Souls of men, wliy will yv scatter
Like :i crowd of fri^^htened sheep^ Foolish h«':irts, why will ye wander
From u love so true and deep? Wjus there ever kinder shepherd,
Half so gentle, half so sweet, As the Saviour, w ho would liave us
Come and gather round His feet?
It is God ; His love looks mighty, Hut is mightier tlian it s«'ems,
"Tis our Father, and His fondness Goes far out beyond our dreams.
There is welcrmie for the sinner. And more graces for the goo<i ;
There is mercy with the Saviour, Tliere is healing in His blood.
There is plentiful redemption
In the hloo<l that has been shed ; There is joy for all tlu; memlwrs
In the sorrows of the Head. Pining souls, come nearer Jesus!
Auil O come not d(»ubting thus, But with faith that trusts more bravely
His huge tenderne.ss for us.

And calmly sin's wild deluge brave ; 'Twill guide thee to a better home, It points to glory o'er the grave.

2 There's no place where earthly sorrows 4 But we make His love too narrow
Are more felt than up in heaven ; By false limits of our own,
There's no place where earthly failings And we magnify His strictness
Have such kindly judgment given. — Kef. With a zeal He will not own. — Kef.
3 For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of man's mind, And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. — Ref.

2 Thy promise is my only plea,
With this I venture nigh ; Thou callest burdened souls to Thee, And such, O Lord, am I.
3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin,
By Satan sorely prest, By war without, and fear within, I come to Thee for rest.

That, sheltered near Thy side, I may my fierce accuser face. And tell him. Thou hast died.

Prostrate, dear Jesus, at Thy feet
A guilty rebel lies. And upward to the mercj^-seat
Presumes to lift his eyes. If tears of sorrow would suffice
To pay the debt I owe, Teai-s should from both my weeping eyes
In ceaseless torrents flow. But no such sacrifice I plead
To expiate my guilt ; No tears but those which Thou hast shed,
No blood but Thou hast spilt. Think of Thy sorrows, dearest Lord,
And all my sins forgive : Justice will well approve the word
That bids the sinner live.

On Thy redeeming grace I trust, Grant me, then, Thy salvation.

2 The Shepherd sought His sheep,
The Father sought His child ; They followed me o'er vale and hill,
O'er deserts waste and wild : They found me nigh to death,
Famished and faint and lone ; They bound me with the bands of love,
They saved the wandering one.
3 Jesus my Shepherd is ;
'Twas He that loved my soul, 'Twas He that washed me in His blood, 'Twas He that made me whole ;
294
'Twas He that sought the lost, That found the wandering sheep,
'Twas He that brought me to the fold, 'Twas He that still doth keep.
I was a wandering sheep,
I would not be controlled ; But now I love my Shepherd's voice,
I love, I love the fold. I was a wayward child,
I once preferred to roam ; But now I love my Father's voice,
I love, I love His home.

Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near.
3 The while I fain would tread the heavenly way, Evil is ever with me day by day ;
Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall, "Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all."
4 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear;
His are the hands stretched out to draw me near, And His the blood that can for all atone, And set me faultless there before the throne.
5 'Twas He who found me on the deathly wild, And made me heir of heaven, the Father's child. And day by day. whereby my soul may live. Gives me His grace of pardon, and will give.
6 C) great Absolver, grant my soul may wear The lowliest garb of penitence and praj'er. That in the Father's courts my glorious dress May be the garment of Thy righteonsneas.
7 Yea, Thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord ; Thine all the merits, mine the great reward ; Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown ; Mine the life won, and Thine the life laid down.

Now let our souls pursue The theme of God's salvation.
And find it ever new : Set free from present sorrow,
"We cheerfully can say, I..et the unknown to-morrow
Bring with it what it may.

But He will bear us through ; Who gives the lilies clothing.
Will clothe His people too : Beneath the spreading heavens,
No creature but is fed ; And He who feeds the ravens.
Will give His children bread.

Their wonted fruit should bear. Though all the fields should wither,
Nor flocks nor herds be there ; Yet, Go<l the s;\me abiding,
His praise shalJ tune my voice ; For while in* Him confiding,
I cannot but rejoice.

'Tis God's own mercy, never ending, (
Its measure all our thoughts exceeds ;
While Jesus too, His arms extending. — Whose heart for guilty sinners bleeds, — Now with compassion calls His foes To flee from sin and endless woes.
Should earthly cares still gather round me And joined with griefs should malice rise,
Together striving to confound me, Or into sin my soul surprise, Should sorrows high o'er sorrows swell, Let Mercy smile, and all is well.
3 And why should we be lost for ever, Since God to us commends His love? His Son, with message of His favor, Invites to holy joys above : To win our hearts, as oft before, He now is knocking at the door.
7 Whenever I review my doings,
The best of all that I have done, — Much wrong and weakness I discover, And boasting is for ever gone : But in one thing I can confide, — 'Tis mercy, — and in nought beside.
This love's a deep, our follies hiding ;
The death of Christ — a matchless grace, To life and peace our spirits guiding.
Where wrath no more shall find a place.
His blood for us is pleading still —
"Let mercy all its work fulfill! "
8 He leads, and always will be nigh me, Who has on me His mercy set ; WMth all I need He will supply me, Nor let my soul His grace forget : What joys or sorrows may befall, I'll trust His grace alike in all.
From this will I my comfort borrow, With joy will trust my Saviour's plea.
And while for sin I deeply sorrow, Now to the Father's pity flee,— In Him I'll ever seek a friend Whose grace in Christ will never end.
9 Upon this ground I rest most firmly. Long as the earth my dwelling prove ; And wish to serve my God and Saviour, Till, dying, I shall rise above. And there, rejoicing, shall adore — Unbounded mercy evermore.

2 Upon that cross of Jesus
Mine eye at times can see The ver>' dying form of One
Who suffered there for me : And from my smitten heart with tears
Two wonders I confess, — The wonders of His glorious love
And my own worthlessnesa.
309
3 I take, O cross, thy shadow
For my abiding-place : I ask no other sunshine than
The sunshine of His face; Content to let the world go by,
To know no gain nor loss. My sinful self my only shame.
My glory all the cross.

2 Jesus, I may trust Thee, Name of matchless worth. Spoken by the angel at Thy wondrous birth ; Written, and forever, on Thy cross of shame : Sinners, read and worship, trusting in that Name.
3 Jesus, I must trust Thee, pondering Thy ways. Full of love and mercy all Thine earthly days : Sinners gathered round Thee, lepers sought Thy face- None too vile or loathsome for a Saviour's grace.
4 Jesus, I can trust Thee, trust Thy written word. Though Thy voice of pity I have never heard. Wheu Thy Spirit teacheth, to my taste how sweet — Only may I hearken, sitting at Thy feet.
5 Jesus, I do trust Thee, trust without a doubt : Whosoever cometh. Thou wilt not cast out ; Faithful is Thy promise, precious is Thy hlood ; These my soul's salvation, Thou my Saviour, God.

2 It is the Day spring from on high,
Tlie adamantine Rock, Wlience never storm can make me fly,
That fears no earthquake's shook ; My Jesus Christ, my sure Defence.
My Saviour, and my Li»:ht, That shines within, and scatters thence
Dark phantoms of the night ;
3 Who once was borne, betrayed, and slain,
At evening to the grave ; Whom God awoke, who rose again, A Conqueror strong to save ;
811
Who jiardons all my sin, who sends
His Spirit pure and mild ; Whose grace my every step befriends,
Who ne'er forgets His child I
4 Therefore I know in whom I trust,
I know what staudeth fast, When all things formed of earthly dust
Are whirling in the blast : The terrors of the tiual foe
Can rob me not of this ; And this shall crown me once, i know.
With never-fading bliss.

He choos-es us of His free grace, And makes us His pe - cul - iar race.
2 He undertook our soul's salvation.
Our sad condition moved him so ; And came to us, from pure compassion,
To raise us from our depths of woe : O wonderful, surpassing love, Which brought Him to us from above !
3 He saw in us no real beauty.
No virtue, nor intrinsic worth : Not one there was that did his duty.
For all were sinners from their birth ; Nor was there one, who could redress Our misery in such distress.
Then, moved at heart with deep compassion.
The Lord stretched out His arm to save : And His own life for our salvation,
And therewith all things, freely gave, — Adoption, sonship, and with this A whole eternity of bliss.
O Lord of goo<lneas .so amazing.
Not one is worthy, no! not one ; We stand in shame and wonder jjazing
At wondrous things which Thou hast done: Thy crowning grace and precious blofnl Have reconciled us with our God.
6 W^e feel quite certain of obtaining
Nothing but goodness from Thy hand.
And wend our way, without complaining Through dreary mist and barren land
With heaven in view, where we shall be,
Joined through eternity to Thee.

2 We see not -with our eyes Thy friendly face, So full of kindness, love, and gentle grace ; But in our hearts we know that Thou art here, For Thou canst make us feel Thy presence near
Although un.seen.
3 "Whoever makes it life's chief aim and end To have his happiness on Thee depend,
In him a well of joy for ever springs, And all day long his heart is glad, and sings Who is like Thee?
4 To meet us ever with a friendly face,
In mercy, patience, and the kindest grace Daily Thy rich forgiveness to bestow. To comfort, heal, in peace to bid us go, Is Thy delight.
5 Lord, for Thy rich salvation, hear our prayer, And daily give us an abounding share ;
And let our souls, in all their poverty, From deep-felt love be looking unto Thee Till life's last end.
6 In sorrowing hours may our e'erflowing eyes For comfort look to Thy dear sacrifice ; And, with Thy cross before us, may we find Thy genuine image stamped upon our mind,
In constant view !

How highly blest, how happy is the spirit
Which, weary of its sinful deeds, doth mourn And unto Him for aid and succor turns :
The humble every good from Him inherit ; He to the troubled soul imparteth ease Restoring to the wounded conscience peace.
That which the law could have imparted never,
Is then produced alone by Jesus' grace;
This is the source of genuine godliness : This changes and reforms our whole behavior ;
From strength to strength, from grace to grace lead on,
We safely walk, until our race is run. 316

I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow ;
For I will be with thee thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress."
4 " When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply ; The flame shall not hurt thee ; I only design Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.

Whereon our feet were set by sovereign grace ; Nor life nor death, with all their agitation. Can thence remove us, if we see His face.
3 We would see Jesus : other lights are paling,
Which for long years we have rejoiced to see ; The blessings of our pilgrimage are failing ; AVe would not mourn them, for we go to Thee.
4 We would see Jesus ; yet the spirit lingers
Kound the dear objects it has loved so long. And earth from earth can scarce unclasp its fingers; Our love to Thee makes not this love less strong.
5 We would see Jesus : sense is all too binding,
And heaven appears too dim. too far away ; We would see Thee, Thyself our hearts reminding What Thou hast suffered, our great debt to pay.
6 We would see Jesus : this is all we're needing ;
Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading; Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night.

Then, glorious from Thy shame, I see Thee death's strong fetters burst. And reach heaven's mightiest Name.

By power Divine exprest, One in Thy Fatlier God's embrace, As on Thy mother's breast.

For me didst weep and die ; For me achieve Thy wondrous plan, For me ascend on high.
5 O let me share Thy holv birth,
Thy faith, Thy death to sin? And, strong amidst the toils of earth, My heavenly life begin.

Triumphant of Saint Paul : "To live is Christ, to die is gain ; " "Christ is my All in all."

Whose names Thou wilt Thyself confess Before the Father's face.
3 In each sad accent of distress Thy pleading voice is heard ;

4 Help us then, Lord, Thy yoke to wear, And joy to do Thy will ;
Each other's burdens gladly l>ear, And love's sweet law fulfill.
o Thy face with reverence and with love We in Thy jxwr would see ; And while we minister to them, Would do it as to Thee.

2 In darkness willingly I strayed ; 1 Jesus, Thou Source of calm repose,
I sought Thee, yet, from Thee I roved ; All fullness dwells in Thee Divine;
For wide my wandering tho'ts were spread ; Our Strength to quell the proudest foes ; Thy creatures more than Thee I loved ; Our Light, in deepest gloom to shine;
And now. if more at length I see Thou art our Fortress, Strength and Tower,
'Tis through Thy light, and comes from Thee. Our Trust and Portion, evermore.
3 Uphold me in the doubtful race, Nor suffer me again to stray ;
Strengthen ray feet, with steady pace Still to press forward in Thy way ;
That all my powers, with all their might.
In Thy sole glory may nnite.
2 Jesus, our Comforter Thou art ;
Our Rest in toil, our Ease in pain; The Balm to heal each broken heart,
In storms our Peace, in loss our Gain ; Our Joy beneath the worldling's frown ; In shame, our Glory and our Crown ; —
4 Thee will I love, my Joy. my Crown ; 3 In want, our plentiful Supply ;
Thee will I love, my Lord, my God ! Thee will I love, beneath Thy frown
Or smile, Thy sceptre or Thy rod. "What though my flesh and heart decay ? Thee shall I love in endless day.
John Scheffler, 1657. Tr. John Wesley, 1739.
In weakness, our almighty Power; In bonds, our perfect Liberty ;
Our Refuge in temptation's hour; Our Comfort when in grief and thrall; Our Life in death ; our All in all.

4 For all are brethren, far and wide, Since Thou, O Lord, for all hast died Then teach ns, whatsoe'er betide,
To love them all in Thee.
5 In sickness, sorrow, want, or care, Whate'er it be. 'tis ours to share ; May we, when help is needed, there

Come, labor ou. Claim the high Ciilliug angel3 cannot share — To young and old the gospel-gladness bear : Ivedeem the time ; its hours too swiftly fly The night draws nigh.
Come, labor on. The laborers are few, the field is wide New stations must be filled and blanks supplied ; From voices distant far, or near at home The call is "Come."
Come, labor on. Away with gloomy doubts and faithless fear! No arm so weak but may do service here : By feeblest agents can our God fulfill His righteous will.
Come, labor on. No time for rest, till glows the western sky While the long shadows o'er our pathway lie, And a glad sound comes with the setting auu — •'Servants, well done."
Come, lalx>r on. The toil is pleasant, tlie reward is sure, Blessed are those w ho to the end endure. How full their joy, how deep their rest shall be O Lord, with Thee.

2 Let the world despise and leave me ;
They have left my Saviour, too ; Human hearts and looks deceive me :
Thou art not, like them, untrue ; And while Thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends may shun me
Show Thy face and all is bright.
3 Go then, earthly fame and treasure !
Come disaster, scorn and pain ! In Thy service, pain is pleasure ; With Thy favor, loss is gain.
I have called Thee Abba, Father ;
I have stayed my heart on Thee : Storms may howl, and clouds may gather,
All must work for good to me.
Man may trouble and distress me,
'Twill but drive me to Thy breast ; Life with trials hard may press me,
Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. O, 'tis not in grief to harm me,
While Thy love is left to me ; O, 'twere not in joy to charm me,

2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye
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 follows in his train?
3 A glorious band, the chosen few
On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame :
I j . I I I '
( Or to Warrior.)
They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
The lion's gory mane ; Thev bowed their necks the death feel : Who follows in their train?
to
4 A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour's throne rejoice,
In robes of liyht arrayed : They climbed the steep ascent of heaven
Through peril, toil, and pain : O God. to us may grace be given
To follow in their train.

To watch before Thy gate. Ready to run the weary race,
To l)ear the heavy weight : No voice of thunder to expect,
But follow calm and still; F'or love can easily divine
The One BelovM's will.

Still keeping by Thy side ; And by my life or by ray death

In this dear service fly, How rapidly the closing hour.

And gird my soul with power Divine ; Make me a warrior never falling
Equipped with arms of Thy design : And when the foe, like lions roaring,
Thy child is seeking to devour, Then shield my soul. Thy help imploring,
Uphold me in temptation's hour.
For Thee I sigh, O let me find Thee, I
My thirsty soul on Thee doth wait ; Reveal Thy face, -when sins surround me,
Receive me ere it is too late ! Would God with sin-born man be pleading.
Who doth in mortal weakness groan, Then, in the highest court's proceeding.
None righteousness could claim, not one!

To see Thee. Prince of Life and Peace, In God's grand army made partaker,
To join in songs that never cease, Away all dangers, tears and sorrow,
To gain more bliss, than e'er I sought, Such, Lord, when comes the glorious morrow
I hope will be Thy servant's lot.
O grant true faith unto Thy warrior,
Faith, that in love is shining bright ; A .spirit humble, pure and peaceful
And filled with Christian hope's delight ; A heart with S3'mpathetic feeling,
In prayer strong, and calm in scorn, Prepared for death, soul's rest revealing,
Though poor, yet rich and heaven -born !

2 If aught should tempt my soul to stray From heavenly wisdom's narrow way, To fly the goo<l I would pursue, Or do the sin I would not do, Still He, who felt temptation's power. Shall guard me in that dangerous hour.
\\ If wounded love my bosom swell, Deceived by those I prized too well, He shall His pitying aid bestow. Who felt on earth severer woe, — At once betrayed, denied, or fled, By those who shared His daily brea^l.
4 If vexing thoughts within me rise. And, sore dismayed, my spirit dies. Still He, who once vouchsafed to bear The sickening anguish of despair, Shall sweetly sootlie, shall gently dry. The throbbing heart, the streaming eye.
5 When, sorrowing, o'er some stone I bend, Which covers what was once a friend. And from His voice. His hand, His smile. Divides me for a little while, —
Thou, Saviour, mark'st the tears I shed, For Thou didst weep o'er I..azarus dea<l.
6 And O, when I have safely past Through even,' conflict but the last ; Still, still unchanging, watch beside My painful bed, for Thou hast died : Then point to realms of cloudless day, And wipe the latest tear away.

Which shall new lustre lx)ast. When victor's wreaths and monarch's gems Shall blend in common dust.

3 'Mid trials heavy to be borne,
When mortal strength is vain, A heart with grief and angnish torn,
A body racked with pain ; Ah ! what could give the suflFerer rest,
Bid every murmur flee, But this, the witness in my breast
That Jesus died for me?
When s^rms of fierce temptation beat,
And furious foes assail, My refuge is the mercy-seat,
My hope within the veil. From strife of tongues and bitter words
My spirit flies to Thee : Joy to my heart the thought afibrds,
JNIy Saviour died for me.
And when Thine awful voice commands
This body to decay, And life, in its last lingering sands,
Is ebbing fast away, — Then, though it be in accents weak,
And faint and tremblingly, O give me strength in death to speak,
"My Saviour died for me.'*

O'er the waters it soundeth, from lands far away, Where the rebel usurper holds fair realms in sway : There are chains to be severed, and souls to be freed ; Our Captain is calling, Himself takes the lead. — Ref. O, true hearts have gone forth, glad and strong, to the war, And the fame of their exploits has echoed afar ; And though brave ones have fallen, yet rich their reward, Who dies is crowned victor by Jesus our Lord.— Ref. 'Tis not each one is called in the front rank to fight. And there's room for us all though our strength may be slight, And the weakest and poorest some succor may bring, If only he follows the flag of his King. — Ref. When the warfare is finished, the long struggle o'er, And the name of our Master all nations adore, Then the glad shout of triumph shall ring far and wide ; O, joy to the victor who's on the Lord's side ! -O hark ! the shout triumph resounds far and wide ; O, joy to the victor who's on the Lord's side !

CM. I worship Thee, sweet Will of God,
And all Thy ways adore ; And every day I live, I seem
To love Thee more and more. When obstacles and trials seem
Like prison-walls to be, I do the little I can do.
And leave the rest to Thee. He always wins who sides with God,
To him no chance is lost ; God's will is sweetest to him when
It triumphs at his cost. Ill that He blesses is our good.
And unblest good is ill ; And all is right that seems most wrong,
If it be His sweet will.

2 The li<:ht of smiles sliall fill again.
The lids that overflow w ith tears ; And weary hours of woe and pain Are promises of happier years.
3 There is a day of sunny rest
For every dark and troubled night ;
And grief may bide an evening guest.
But joy shall come with early light.
4 And thou, who o'er thy friend's low bier
Sheddest the bitter drops like rain,
Hoi>e that a brighter, happier sphere
Will give him to thy arms again. Nor let the good man's trust depart.
Though lil'e its common gifts deny ; Though, with a pierced and broken heart.
And spurned of men, he goes to die. For (tod has marked each sorrowing day,
And numbered every secret tear. And heaven's long age of bliss shall pay
For all His children suffer here.

2 The friends who in our sunshine live,
When winter comes, are tiowu ; And he who has but tears to give, Must weep tht>se tears aloue.
3 But Christ can heal the broken heart,
Which, like the plants that throw Their fragrance from the wounded part. Breathes sweetness out of woe.
4 When joy no longer soothes or cheei-s,
And e'en the hope that threw
A moment's sparkle o'er our tears
Is dimmed and vanished too.
5 O, who could bear life's stormy doom.
Did not His wing of love Come, brightly wafting through the gUH)m. Oor peace-branch from above?
6 Then sorrow, touched by Him, grows bright,
W^ith more than rapture's ray : As darkness shows us worlds of light. We never saw by day.

2 Jesus, my God! I know His Name; His Name is all my trust: Nor will He put my soul to shame. Nor let my hope be last.
1 One prayer I have — all prayers in one-
When I am wholly Thine; Thy will, my Go<i. Thy will be done, And let that will be mine.
2 All-wise, Almighty, and All-gootl,
In Thee I firmly trust: Thy ways, unknown or understood. Are merciful and just.
3 May I remember that to Thee
"Whate'er I have I owe ; And back, in gratitude, for me May all Thy bounties flow.
4 And though Thy wisdom takes away,
Shall I arraign Thy will? No, let me bless Thy Name and say, "The Ix)rd is gracious still."
."> A pilgrim through the earth I roam. Of nothing long posess'd. And all must fail when I go home. For this is not my rest.

Who trastsiu Gml's un-cliang-ing love Builds on the rock that naught can move.
What can these anxious cares avail thee- These never ceasing moans and sighs?
What can it help, if thou bewail thee O'er each dark moment as it flies?
Our cross and trials do but press
The heavier for our bitterness.
4 God knows full well the hour when gladness Shall be the needful thing for thee. When He has trie<l thy soul with sadness And from all guile has found thee free, He comes to thee all unaware. And makes thee own His loving care.
3 Keep peace at heart, and wait His leisure 5 All are alike before the Highest ;
In cheerful hope, and be content 'Tis Oiisy to our Go<l, we know,
To take whate'er thy Father's pleasure To raise thee up though low thou liest.
And all-deserving love hath sent ; To make the rich man poor and low ;
Nor doubt our inmost wants are known True wonders still by Him are wrought
To Him who chose us for His own. Who setteth up and brings to naught.
fi Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving.
So do thine own part faithfully, And trust His word, — though undeserving.
Thou yet shalt tind it true for thee ; God never yet forsook at nee<l The soul that trusted Him indeed.

Hi
i^:—
i
2 O that my voice might high be sounding,
Far as the widely distant poles ; My blood be quick with rapture bounding,
Long as its vital current rolls : And every pulse thanksgiving raise, And every breath, a hymn of praise I
3 Ye trees! — your growth His seasons nourish ,
Now wave and rustle to His praise ! Ye flowerets fair !— so soon to perish,
Your forms with beauty He arrays; Let all your bloom now vocal be, And join the song of praise with me !
4 And yet should universal nature
Hear and obey my earnest call, Should I have aid from every creature,
The strength would still be far too small, His greater wonders to unfold, Which all around me I behold.
6 Who grants immortal hopes to bless me ?
Who, but Thyself, O God of love? Who guards my way lest fears oppress me?
'Tis Thou, Lord God of hosts above. And when my sins Thy wrath provoke. Thy patience, Lord, forbears the stroke.
7 Why not then, with a faith unbounded,
For ever in His love confide? Why not, with earthly griefs surrounded,
Rejoicing, still in hope abide ; Until I reach that blissful home Where doubts and sorrows never come ?
8 For all Thy goodness I'll extol Thee,
While yet my tongue has strength to move ; First object of my love enroll Thee,
Until my heart forget to love. When feeble lips no voice can raise, My dying sighs shall murmur praise.
Dear Father, endless praise I render. For soul and body strangely joined :
I praise Thee, Guardian kind and tender, For all the noble joys I find
So richly spread on every side,
And freely for my use supplied.
402
Accept, O Lord, I now implore Thee, The meagre praise I give below :
In heaven I better will adore Thee, When I an angel's strength shall know
There would I lead the sacred choir.
And raise their hallelujahs higher !

2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee,
Wretched wanderer, far astray ; Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee
From the paths of death away ; Praise, with love's devoutest feeliug,
Him who saw thy guilt-born fear. And, the light of hope revealing.
Bade the blood-stained cross appear.
624 CANONBURY. L M.
"2 He saw me ruined in the fall, Yet loved me notwithstanding all, And saved me from my lost estate, His loving-kindness is so great.
3 Through mighty hosts of cruel foes, Where earth and hell my way oppose, He sjifely leads my soul along, His loving-kindness is so strong.
r
3 Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling
Vainly would my lips express: IjOw before Thy footstool kneeling,
Deign Thy suppliant's prayer to bless Let Thy grace, my soul's chief treasure.
Love's pure flame within me raise ; And, since words can never measure,
Let my life show forth Thy praise.
Francis S. Key, 1823.
4 Often I feel my sinful heart Prone from my Jesus to depart ; And though I oft have Him forgot, His loving-kindness changes not.
5 So when I pass death's gloomy vale. And life and mortal powers shall fail, O may my last expiring breath
His loving-kindness sing in death.
6 Then shall I mount, and soar away To the bright world of endless day ; There shall I sing, with sweet surprise, His loving-kindness in the skies.

2 When anxious cares would break my rest, And griefs would tear my throbbing breast, Thy tuneful praises, raised on high, Shall check the murmur and the sigh.
3 When death o'er nature shall prevail, And all its powers of language fail,
Joy through my swimming eyes shall break, And mean the thanks I cannot speak.
4 But O, when that last conflict's o'er, And I am chained to flesh no more, With what glad accents shall I rise, To join the music of the skies !
5 The cheerful tribute will I give, Long as a deathless soul can live, A work so sweet, a theme so high, Demands, and crowns eternity !

1 My God. my King, Thy various praise Shall fill the remnant of my days ; Thy grace employ my humble tongue, Till death and glory raise the song.
2 The wings of every hour shall bear Some thankful tribute to Thine eye ; And every setting sun shall see New works of duty, done for Thee.
3 Let distant times and nations raise The long succession of Thy praise ; And unborn ages make my song The joy and labor of their tongue.
4 But who can speak Thy wondrous deeds? Thy greatness all our thoughts exceeds : Vast and unsearchable Thy ways, — Vast and immortal be Thy praise.

Praise Him who pardons all our sin and blindness, And calls us sons, and takes us for His own.

E'en the Son He loved so dearly
Died that we through Him might live, Was e'er love like His, who merely
Lived His life in love to give? Holy Spirit, teach and guide me.
Fill my heart with loving faith ;
Faith can break the power of death, Hell itself shall not deride me.
Heaven and earth may not endure,
But God's love is ever sure.
E'en in sleep His care surrounds me.
With new strength and youth imbues; His unbounded grace confounds me,
Each new morn His love renews. In sore trials and temptations
He, my Saviour, .still is near,
Bids me, " Child, do thou not fear, Thou shalt yet see my salvation."
Heaven and earth may not endure.
But God's love is ever sure.
After Paul Gerhardt, 1606-1676. O. E. Wieland, 1898.

The sea and all that therein is. Onr God's the Knler of the world Truth's banner He hath e'er unfurled Hallelujah ! Hallelujah !

The Lord in season doth provide ; Those bound in chains He maketh free. His lovincj-kindness thev shall see, Hallelujah ! Hallelujah !
4 P2yes of the blind He doth open clearly,
Exalteth those, that are bowed down : When He doth find such that love Him dearly, The heavenly Father's love is shown. He proves the strangers' safe resort. Widows' and orphans' best support. Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
5 Praise, O ye i>eople. the Name most glorious

2 Dwelleth the light of the glory with Him, Light of a glory that cannot grow dim. Light in its silence and beauty and calm, Light in its gladness and brightness and balm.
3 Past are the darkness, the storm, and the war ; Come is the radiance that sparkled afar ; Breaketh the gleam of the day without end ; Riseth the sun that shall never descend.
4 Ever ascendeth the song and the joy, Ever descendeth the love from on high. Blessing, and honor, and glory, and praise, This is the theme of the hymns that we raise.
5 Life of all life, and true Light of all light, Star of the dawning, unchangingly bright, Snu of the Salem whose lamp is the Lamb, Theme of the ever-new. ever-glad psalm !
6 Give we the glory and praise to the Lamb, Take we the robe and the harp and the psalm. Sing we the song of the Lamb that was slain. Dying in weakness, but rising to reign.

Doth thee maintain As thine own heart would ordain ; Soul, hath thou never perceived it?

In thy distress
Hath not the God of all grace Spread out His wings to preserve thee?

Think thou thereon. What the Almighty hath done, How doth His mercy run toward thee !

2 Here I raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by* Thy help I'm come ; And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home : Jesus sought me, when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God ; He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
O to grace how great a debtor,
Daily I'm constrained to be ; Let that grace now, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee: Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love ; Here's my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it from Thy courts above.

1 O Lord, our fathers oft have told,
In our attentive ears. Thy wonders in their days performed. And elder times than theirs.
2 For, not their courage, not their sword,
To them salvation gave ; Nor strength that from unequal force Their fainting troops could save :
3 But Thy right hand and powerful arm.
Whose succor they implored ;
Thy presence with the chosen race,
Who Thy great Name adored.
4 As Thee, their God, our fathers owned,
Thou art our sovereign King : O, therefore, as Thou didst to them. To us deliverance bring !
5 To Thee the triumph we ascribe.
From whom the conquest came ; In God we will rejoice all day, And ever bless Thy Name.

Our fathers' sins were manifold.
And ours no less we own, Yet wondrously from age to age
Thy goodness hath been shown ; When dangers, like a stormy sea,
Beset our country round. To Thee we looked, to Thee we cried,
And help in Thee was found.
With one consent we meekly bow
Beneath Thy chastening hand, And, pouring forth confession meet,
Mourn with our mourning land ; With pitying eye behold our ueed,
As thus we lift our prayer ; Correct us with Thy judgments, Lord,
Then let Thy mercy spare.

2 The sun shone forth in splendor bright,
And tinged the mountain-tops with gold; The fields were flooded with his light, And trees did all their buds unfold.
3 Thou gavest us refreshing showers.
That shook their treasures o'er the land, Till blossom'd all the earth with flowers, And hills rejoiced on every hand.
4 Thy love has given our harvest-store.
And scattered blessings far and wide ; Thy hand has filled our garner-floor, And all our harvest wants supplied.
5 Lord, in Thy holy Name we raise,
With thankful heart and grateful tongu* Our tribute of adoring praise, Our due and joyful harvest song.
6 For all things magnify Thy love.
The genial winds, the gentle rain, Clouds dropping fatness from above. The blade, the ear, the golden grain.
7 O Thou, who givest daily bread,
And givest it in plenteous store,
Let all our hungering souls be fed
With bread of life for evermore.

I
:4i
deck Thine altar, Lord, with light, In sol-eran worship meeting: And as the year's last
Before Thee, Lord 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.
We gather up, in this brief hour, The memory of Thy mercies :
Thy wondrous goodness, love, and power. Our grateful song rehearses :
For Thou hast been our strength and stay
In many a dark and dreary day Of sorrow and reverses.
3 And, while we kneel, we lift our eyes 5 lu many an hour, when fear and dread,
To dear ones gone before us, Safe housed with Thee in Paradise :
Whose peace desceudeth o'er us : And beg of Thee, when life is past, To re-unite us all, at last,
And to our lost restore us.
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.
6 Thou, O 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 unfold and hide us.

Cleanse us from each guilty staiu ; Let Thy grace within us live, That we spend not years in vain.

Happy spirits, may we fly To our everlasting home,
To our Father's house on high !

2 The parted year had winged feet ;
The Saviour still doth stay : The new year comes ; but, Spirit sweet. Thou goest not away.
3 Our hearts in tears may oft run o'er ;
But, Lord, Thy smile still beams: Our sins are swelling evermore. But pardoning grace still streams.
4 Lord, from this year more service win.
More glory, more delight : O make its hours less sad with sin, Its days with Thee more bright.
5 Then we may bless its precious things
If earthly cheer should come. Or gladsome mount on angel wings If Thou wouldst take us home.
6 O golden then the hours must be ;
The year must needs be sweet ; Yes, Lord, with happy melody Thine opening grace we greet.

3 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame. From everlasting Thou art God, To endless years the same.

Still the greatness of Thy love Daily doth our sins remove ; Daily, far as east from west, Lifts the burden from the breast; Gives unl)ought, to those who pray, Strength to stand in evil day.
Let our prayers each morn prevail, That these gifts may never fail ; And, as we confess the sin And the tempter's power within, Feed us with the Bread of Life, Fit ns for our daily strife.
As the morning light returns, As the sun with splendor bums, Teach us still to turn to Thee, Ever blessed Trinity. With our hands our hearts to raise, In unfailing prayer and praise.

5 I fear no tribulation,
Since, whatsoe'er it be. It makes no separation
Between my Lord and me. If Thou, my God and teacher,
Vouchsafe to be my own, Though poor, I shall be richer
Than monarch on his throne.
6 If, while on earth I wander.
My heart is light and blest, Ah ! what shall I be yonder
In perfect peace and rest ? O blessed thought in dying !
We go to meet the Lord, Where there shall be no sighing,
A kingdom our reward.
7 Lord, with this truth impress me,
And write it on my heart. To comfort, cheer and bless me,
That Thou my Saviour art ; Without Thy love to guide me,
I should be wholly lost ; The floods would quickly hide me,
On life's wide ocean tossed.

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.

2 Thy precious time misspent redeem ; Each present day thy last esteem ; Improve thy talent with due care ; Eor the great day thyself prepare.
3 By influence of the light Divine Let thy own light to others shine ; Reflect all heaven's propitious rays In ardent love and cheerful praise.
4 Wake and lift up thyself, my heart, And with the angels bear thy part, Who all night long, unwearied, sing High praises to th' eternal King.
5 All praise to Thee, who safe hast kept, And hast refreshed me whilst I slept: Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake, I may of endless light partake.
6 Direct, control, suggest, this day. All I design, or do, or say ;
That all my powers, with all their might, In Thy sole glory may unite.
1 Forth in Thy Name, O Lord, I go.
My daily labor to pursue, Thee, only Thee, resolved to know, In all I think, or speak, or do.
2 The task Thy wisdom hath assigned
O let me cheerfully fulfill ; In all my works Thy presence find, And prove Thy good and perfect will.
3 Preserve me from my calling's snare.
And hide my simple heart above ; Above the thorns of choking care, The gilded baits of worldly love.
4 Thee may I set at my right hand,
Whose eyes mine inmost substance see, And labor on at Thy command, And offer all my works to Thee.
5 Give me to bear Thy easy yoke,
And every moment watch and pray ; And still to things eternal look , And hasten to Thy glorious day :
Praise God from whom all blessings flow ; 6 For Thee delightfully employ
Praise Him, all creatures here below ; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host ; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son, The ill that I this day have done ; That with the world, myself, and Thee, I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
Teach me to live, that I may dread The grave as little as my bed ; To die, that this vile body may Rise glorious at the awful day.

And with sweet sleep mine eyelids close ; Sleep that may me more vigorous make To serve my God when I awake.

Much of my time has run to waste, And I perhaps am near my home"; But He forgives my follies past. And gives me strength for days to come.
I lay my body down to sleep ; Peace is the pillow for my head, While well-appointed angels keep Their watchful stations round my bed.

Thy Name is blessed by countless numbers 4 And through the swell of chanting voice?
In vaster worlds, unseen, unknown, The blended notes of age and youth,
"Whose duteous service never slumbers, Thine ear discerns, Thy love rejoices.
In perfect love, and faultless tone. When hearts rise up to Thee in truth.
Yet Thou wilt not despise the weakest 5 O Light all clear ! O Truth all holy !
Who here in spirit bend their knee : O boundless Mercy pardoning all !
Thy Christ hath said: ' * Thou Father seekest Before Thy feet, abashed and lowly,
For such as these to worship Thee. ' ' With one last prayer Thy children fall :—
6 When we no more on earth adore Thee,
And others worship here in turn,
O may we sing that song before Thee
Which none but Thy redeemed can learn !

Our earliest thoughts be Thine when morning wakes us; All day serve Thee, in all that we are doing Thy praise pursuing.

2 O blessed house, where man and wife united
In Thy true love, hath both one heart and mind, W^here both to Thy salvation are invited.
And in Thy doctrine both contentment find, Where both, to Thee, in truth, for ever cleave,
In joy, in grief, make Thee their only stay, And faithfully in Thee hope and believe
Both in the good and in the evil day.

3 O blessed house, where little children, tender,
Are laid uiwn Thy heart, with hands of prayer, Thou Friend of cliildren, who wilt freely nMider
To them more than a mother's h)vin^ care. Where roun<l Thy feet they ^^ather, to Thee cling,
Ami hear Thy loving voice most willingly, And in their son^s, Thy hearty praises ring,
Rejoicing thus, O l)lcss«>d Lord, iu Thee.
4 U blessM house, where faithful servants, knowing
That all their works are done within Thy sight. In all their works with holy zeal are glowing
To do alone what Thou esteemest right ; As Thy true servants, who are Thy delight,
In meekness willing, by that love constrained "Which shows, in all its works, the least, the bright
How in small things great faith may be maintained.
5 O blessed house, the joys of which Thou sharest.
And never art forgot in scenes of joy ; O blessed house, lor whose sad wounds Thou carest.
Where all the sick Thy healing j)ower employ ; Until, at last, when day's work fully ends,
All, linally, in joyful rapture, fly To that blest House, where angels Thee attend,
Unto the blessM Father's House on high

And Thou hast made each step an onward one ; And we will ever trust each unknown morrow ; Thou wilt sustain us till its work is done.

On the dark mountains the lost wand'rer strayed ; How the Good Shepherd followed, and how kindly
He bore it home, upon His shoulders laid ; And healed the bleeding wounds, and soothed the pain. And brought back life, and hope, and strength again.

Each toilsome duty, each foreboding fear ; All to each one assigned, of tribulation,
Or to beloved ones, than self more dear; All pensive mem'ries, as we journey on, Longings for vanished smiles and voices gone.

The multitude of waters surge ;

4 As when on blue Genne«»reth
Rose high the angry wave, And Thy disciples quailed in dread, One word of Thine could save ;

G If duty calls, from threatened strife To guard our native shore, And shot and shell are answeriug The booming cannon's roar;

Till war and dangers cease, Defend the right, put up the sword. And through the world make peace.

2 Still in the pure espousal
Of Christian man and maid, The holy Three are with us, The threefold grace is said.
3 Be present, heav'nly Father,
To give away this bride, As Eve Thou gav'st to Adam Out of his own pierced side :
4 Be present, Son of Mary,
To join their loving hands, As Thou didst bind two natures In Thine eternal bands !
754
DEARLE. lo. lo. lo. lo
5 Be present, holiest Spirit,
To bless them as they kneel, As Thou, for Christ the Bridegroom, The heav'nly Spouse dost seal !
6 O spread Thy pure wiug o'er them,
Let no ill power find place, When onward to Thy presence, Their hallowed path they trace.
7 To cast their crowns before Thee
In perfect sacrifice Till to the home of gladness
With Christ's own Bride they rise.

2 He came down to earth from heaven.
Who is Gotl and Lord of all, Anil His shelter was a stable
And His cradle was a stall : With the i>oor. and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 And, through all His wondrous childhood.
He would honor and obey, Love, and watch the lowly maiden
In whose gentle arms He lay : Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as He.
4 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.
5 And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love : For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Ix)rd in heaven al)ove : And He lea<1s His children on To the place where He is gone.
6 Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen stamling by, We shall see Him, but in heaven.
Set at God's right hand on high : When like stars His children crowned. All in white shall wait around.

2 Sweet were His words and kind His look, 3 Wheu Jesus into Salem rode,
When mothers round Hira pressed ; The children sang around ;
Their infants in His arms He took, For joy they plucked the palms, andstrowed
And on His bosom blessed. Their garments on the ground.
Safe from the world's alluring harms, Hosanna our glad voices raise,
Beneath His watchful eye, Hosanna to our King !
Thus in the circle of His arms Should we forget our Saviour's praise,
May we forever lie. The stones themselves would sing.

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.
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.

To pay the price of sin ; He only could unlock the gate
Of heaven, and let us in.
O dearly, dearly has He loved, And we must love Him too,
And trust in His redeeming blood, And try His works to do.

2 Heard yon never of the story
How they crossed the desert wild, Journeyed on bv plain and mountain,
Till they found the holy Child? How they oj>ened all their treasuie,
Kneeling to that infant King ; Gave the gold and fragrant incense,
Gave the myrrh in oflfering?

1 Heavenly Father, send Thy blessing
On Thy children gathered here ; May they all, Thy Name confessing.
Be to Thee forever dear ; May they be like Joseph, loving.
Dutiful, and chaste, and pure ; And their faith, like David, proving.
Steadfast unto death endure.
2 Holy Saviour, wlio in meekness
Didst vouchsafe a child to be. Guide their steps and help their weakness. }>less and make them like to Thee.
Know ye not that lowly baby
Was the bright and morning Star ? He who came to light the Gentiles,
And the darkened isles afar? And, we too, may seek His cradle ;
There our heart's best treasure liring: Love, and faith, and true devotion,
For our Saviour, Go<l, and King.
Cecil F. Alexander, 1853,
Bear Thy lambs when they are weary In Thine arms and at Thy breast ;
Througli life's desert, dry and dreary Bring them to Thy heavenly re^t.
3 Spread Thy golden pinions o'er them.
Holy Spirit from alx)ve ; Guide them, lead them, go before them,
Give them peace, and joy, and love: Temples of Thy glorious Godhead,
May they with Thy presence shine. And immortal bliss inherit.
And for evermore be Thine.

1 Let children hear the mighty deeds.
Which God performed of old ; Which in our younger years we saw. And which our fathers told.
2 He bids us make His glories known,
His works of power and grace ; And we'll convey His wonders down. Through every rising race.
3 Our lips shall tell them to our sons,
And they again to theirs ; That generations yet unborn May teach them to their heirs.
4 Thus shall they learn in God alone
Their hope securely stands, That they may ne'er forget His works, But practice His commands.

2 The sweetness of Thy soft, low voice
I am too deaf to hear, Thy beautiful and shining face I see not, though so near.
3 I cannot feel Thee touch my hand,
With pressure light and mild, To check me as my mother did, When I was but a child.
4 But I have felt Thee in my thoughts,
Rebuking sin for me ; And, when my heart loves God, I know The sweetness is from Thee.
5 And when, dear Saviour, I kneel down,
Morning and night, to prayer, Something there is within ray heart Which tells me, Thou art there.
(] Yes, when T pray, Thou pray est, too ; Thy prayer is all for me : But when I sleep, Thou sleepest not. But watchest patiently.

3 Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide ; Give us each day our daily bread, And raiment fit provide.

Till all our wanderings cease. And at our Father's loved abode Our souls arrive in peace.

Our humble prayers implore ; And Thou shalt be our chosen God, Our Portion evermore.

Work, for the day wears on ; Ask, '* What would Jesus do?'
Be gentle e'en when wronged, Revenge and pride subdue ;
When to forgive seems hard, Ask, *'What would Jesus do?'
Be brave to do the right.
And scorn to be untrue ; When fear would whisper, "3'ield,'
Ask, "What would Jesus do?"
Give, with a full, free hand — God freely gives to yon ;
And check each selfish thought With, "What would Jesus do?"
6 Then let the golden thread
Woven your life-work through, Reflecting heaven's own light Be, "What would Jesus do?"

4 Come, heav'nly Father, come to-day.
For we Thy children come to Thee, And Thou wilt never say us, nay.
If come we in humility ; Xew-born in Thee, O Father, bless Thy childrci; who are fatherless.

Of this lone world, to Thee we tly ; In faith and ho|>e, we fain would stand
Beneath Thy shelf ring arm lor aye ; Stretch forth Thy hand, and pitying bless Thv children who are fatherless.

Here as in their due succession
Stone on stone the workmen place, Thus, we pray, unseen but surely,
Jesus, build us up in grace ; Till, within these walls completed,
We complete in Thee are found ; And to Thee, the one Foundation,
Strong and living stones, are bound.
Fair shall be Thine earthly temple :
Here the careless passer-by Shall bethink him, in its beauty,
Of the holier House on high ; Weary hearts and troubled spirits
Here shall find a still retreat ; Sinful souls shall bring their burden
Here to the Absolver's feet.
Yet with truer, nobler beauty, Lord, we pray, this house adorn,
Where Thy P.ride, Thy Church redeemed, Robes her for her marriage morn ;

Clothed in garments of salvation, Rich with gems of heavenly grace,

May her ceaseless pray'r arise ; Here may strains of holy gladness
Lift her heart above the skies ; Here the word of life be six)keu ;
Here the child of God be sealed ; Here the Bread of Heav'n be broken,
"Till He come," Himself revealed.
Praise to Thee, O Master-Builder.
Maker of the earth and skies ; Praise to Thee, in whom Thy temple
Fitly framed together lies ; I'raise to Thee, eternal Spirit,
Binding all that lives in one : Till our earthly praise be ended,
And th' eternal song begun !

That shall adorn Thy dwelling-place; The beauty of the oak and pine, The gold and silver, make them Thine. To Thee they all belong : to Thee The treasures of the earth and sea :
And, when we bring them to Thy throne. We but present Thee with Thine own.

2 When the years had wrought their changes
He, our own unchanging God, Thought of this His habitation.
Looked on His decayed abode ; Heard our pray'r's, and helped our counsels
Illessed the silver and the gold. Till once more His house is standing
Firm and stately as of old.
3 Ent'ring then Thy gates with praises,
Lord, be ours Thine Israel's prayer : '• Rise into Thy place of resting,
Sliow Thy promised presence there ! " liCt the gracious word be spoken
Here, as once on Zion's height, *'This shall be Mv rest forever.

Pass away to light and peace ; Solemn tones shall then forewarn us. Soon our life and work must cease.

Pealing forth in grand accord, List our hearts through joy and .«iorrow To Thy throne, most gracious I^ord. Rev. W. B. Smith, 1882.
4 Fill this latter house with glory
Greater than the former knew ; Clothed with righteousness its priesthood,
Guide us all to rev'renee true; Ix't Thy Holy One's anointing

Satisfy Thy ix>or with bread.

Heav'nward still, when life shall close,
Death to my true home shall guide me: Then, triumphant o'er my woes, Lasting bliss shall God provide me. Christ Himself the way has led ; Joyful in His steps I tread.
Still then heav'nward! heav'nward still !

And, when once gone, are gone for ever ; They bear me to eternity ; Lord Jesus, give me eyes to see !
Whate'er I need to know discover ! Nor let earth's vain delusions hide Thee from my sight, my only Guide !
3 No journey is without its cares ; Life's journey too the spirits wears ;
It is not all a path of roses, The road is narrow, foes are strong, And oft entice me to the wrong ;
The tangled thorn my way opposes ; O'er trackless wilds I'm forced to go. And, groping, toil my passage through.

Climb the steps of grace ; Faint not, till in glory
Gleams our Father's face. Forward, all the life-time,
Climb from height to height, Till the head be hoary,
Till the eve be light.
Forward, flock of Jesus,
Salt of all the earth ; Till each yearning purpose
Spring to glorious birth : Sick, they ask for healing,

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

Hath our God prepared. By the souls that love Him
One day to be shared : Eye hath not beheld them,

Born of holiness ; Arch, and vault, and carving.
Lights of varied tone ; Softened words and holy,
Prayer and praise alone : Every thought upraising

Roand the throne of light !

Of these aisles of stone Where the Godhead «lwelleth.
Temple there is none : All the saints that ever
In these courts have stwxl. Are but babes, and feeding
On the children's foo<l. On through sign and token.
Stars amidst the night ; Forward through the darkness,

Loudest anthems raise : To the Son and Spirit
Echo songs of praise : To the Lord Jehovah,

Endless honor done. Weak are earthly praises,

The deep, sweet well of love ; The streams on earth I've tasted,
More deep I'll drink above ; There to an ocean fulness
His mercy doth expand, And glory, — glory dwelleth
In Emmanuel's land.

My web of time He wove,
And aye the dews of sorrow

Gently, Tx»rd, 0 gently lead us
Through this lonely vale of tears; Through the changes Thou'st decreed u:
Till our last great change appears : When temptation's dart as.'^ail us.
When in devious paths we stray. Let Thy goodness never fail us;
Ivead us in Thy perfect way. In the hour of pain and anguish.
In the hour when death draws near. Suffer not our liearts to languish,
Suffer not our souls to fear: And. when mortal life is ended,
Rid us on Thy bosom rest; Till, by ansjel-bands attended,
We awake among the blest.

3 Thoughts of His sojourn in this vale of tears — The tale of love unfolded in those years
Of sinless suffering and of patient grace, 1 love again, and yet again, to trace.
4 Thoughts of His glory — ou the cross I gaze, And there behold its sad yet healing rays :
Beacon of hope, which, lifted up on high, •
Illumes with heavenly light the tear-dimmed eye.

2 A little while for patient vigil-keeping,
To face the stern, to wrestle with the strong; A little while, to sow the seed with weeping, Then bind the sheaves, and sing the harvest song.
3 A little while, to wear the weeds of sadness.
To pace with weary step through miry ways; Then to pour forth the fragrant oil of gladness, Then clasp the girdle round the robe of praise.
4 A little while, the earthen pitcher taking
To wayside brooks, from far-oflf fountains fed ; Then the cool lips ita thirst for ever slaking Beside the fullness of the Fountain-head.
5 A little while, to keep the oil from failing ;
A little while, faith's flickering lamp to trim ; And then, the Bridegroom's coming footsteps hailing. To greet His advent with the bridal hymn.

The future glory and the present smile. Witli the bright promise of the glad forever, Will light the shadows of the little while.

If life be long, I will be glad
That I may long obey ; If short, yet why should I be sad
To end my toilsome day. Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet
Thy blessed face to see : For if Thv work on earth be sweet,
What will Thy glory be? Then shall I end my sad complaints,
And weary, sinful days, And join with the triumphant saints
That sing Jehovah's praise. My knowledge of that life is small,
The eye of faith is dim ; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with Him.
Rev. Richard Baxter, 1681

When musing sorrow weeps the past,
And mourns the present pain 'Tis sweet to think of peace at last,
And feel that death is gain. 'Tis not that murmuring thoughts arise
And dread a Father's will ; 'Tis not that meek submission flies,
And would not suffer still : It is that heaven-born faith surveys
The path that leads to light. And longs her eagle plumes to raise,
And lose herself in sight. O let me wing my hallowed flight
From earth-born woe and care. And soar above these clouds of night,
My Saviour's bliss to share !

3 Call it not death : it brings a radiant morrow,
A morrow free from trouble, loss, or care; For those who sleep in Christ there's "no more sorrow" But cloudless joy, and pleasures true and rare!
4 Call it not death : f^r saints who pass its portal
Shall be "with Christ," where there is ''no more pain;" The ransomed victor, robed in life immortal, Can never suffer nor be sick again.
5 Call it not death : it is but the unveiling,
In regions "where there shall be no more night"— The passing into love and joy unfailing — The full "inheritance of saints in light."

How far beyond all restlessness or doubt. Who serve the Ix>rd in jubilant fruition, —

O beatific sight !
No darkling veil between They see the Light of light,
Whom here they loved unseen.
3 For them the wild is past,
With all its toil and care ; Its with'ring midnight blast, Its fiery noonday glare.
4 Then the Good Shepherd leads
Where storms are never rife, In tranquil dewy meads, Beside the Fount of Life.
5 Ours only are the tears
Who weep around their tomb,
The light of bygone years
And shad' wing years to come.
6 Their voice, their touch, their smile,
Those love-springs flowing o'er, Earth for its little while Shall never know them more.
7 O tender hearts and true,
Our long lost vigil kept, ^ We weep and mourn for yon. Nor blame us : Jesus wept.
8 But soon, at break of day,
His calm almighty voice.
Stronger than death shall say
Awake, — arise, — rejoice.

Dawns a day of gladness : Under thy sod,

Waiting all His pleasure.

Thou dost now with joy receive it ; Clothed in robes of spotless white, Now it dwells with Thee in light.

At the last trumpet's sounding, Caught up to meet Him in the skies,
With joy their Lord surrounding ; No gloomy fears their souls dismay; His presence sheds eternal day
On those prepared to meet Him.
3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears.
Behold His wrath prevailing, For they shall rise, and find their tears
And sighs are unavailing ; The day of grace is past and gone ; Trembling they stand before the throne,
All unprepared to meet Him.
1 When all with awe shall stand around
To hear their doom allotted, O may my worthless name be found
In the Lamb's book unblotted ! Grant me a firm, unshaken faith ; For Thou, my Saviour, by Thy Death,
Hast purchased my salvation.
2 Before Thou shalt as Judge appear,
Plead as my Intercessor ; And on that awful day declare
That I am Thy confessor. Then bring me to that blessed place Where I may see, with open face,
The glory of Thy kingdom.
4 O Christ, who diedst aud yet dost live, 3 O Jesus! shorten the delay,
To me impart Thy merit ; Mj' pardon seal, my sins forgive,
And cleanse me by Thy Spirit. Beneath Thy Cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away,
And thus prepare to meet Thee.

By sin and sorrow driven ; When tossed on life's tempestuous shoals Where storms arise, and ocean rolls,
And all is drear but heaven.
3 There, faith lifts up her cheerful eye,
To brighter prospects given ; And views the tempest passing by,

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. — Kef.
3 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. — F\EF.
4 Kest comes at length : though life be long and dreary.
The day must dawn, and darksome night be past ; Faith's journeys end in welcomes to the weary,
And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last — Ret.
5 Angels, sing on! 3'our 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. — Ref.

2 O happy retribution !
Short toil, eternal rest ; For mortals and for sinners A mansion with the blest !
5 But He, whom now we trust in, Shall then be seen and known ; And they that know and see Him Shall have Him for their own.
3 And now we fight the battle,
But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting And passionless renown ;
4 And now we watch and struggle,
And now we live in hope, And Zion in her anguish With Babylon must cope ;
6 The morning shall awaken,
And shadows shall decay, And each true-hearted servant Shall shine as doth the day.
7 Yes, God, my King and Portion,
In fullness of His grace. We then shall see for ever. And worship face to face.

1 The Homeland ! O, the Homeland !
The land of souls free-born ! No gloomy night is known there,
But aye the fadeless morn : I'm sighing for that Country,
My heart is aching here ; There is no pain in Homeland,
To which I'm drawing near.
2 My Lord is in the Homeland,
With angels bright and fair ; No sinful thing nor evil. Can ever enter there ;
588
The music of the ransomed
Is ringing in my ears. And when I think of Homeland,
My eyes are wet with tears.
For loved ones in the Homeland
Are waiting me to come Where neither death nor sorrow
Invades their holy home : O dear, dear native Country !
O rest and peace above ! Christ, bring us all to Homeland
Of His eternal love.

He who wakes from slumber
At the Spirit's voice, Daring here to number
Things nnseen his choice : He who casts his burden
Down at Jesus' cross ; Christ's reproach his guerdon,
All beside but loss.
Shame upon you, legions
Of the heavenly King, Citizens of regions
Past imagining ! What, with pipe and tabor
Dream away the light ! When He bids vou labor,
When He tells you, "Fight?"
3 He who gladly barters
All on earthly ground ; He who, like the martyrs,
Says, "I will be crowned He whose one oblation
Is a life of love. Knit in God's salvation
To the blest above.

2 Far above that arch of gladness, Far beyond these clouds of sadness,
Are the many mansions fair. Far from pain and sin and folly, In that palace of the holy,
I would find my mansions there.
3 Where the glory brightly dwelleth. Where the new song sweetly swelleth.
And the discord never conies; Where life's stream is ever laving. And the palm is ever waving.
That must be the home of homes.
4 "^Tiere the Lamb on high is seated, By ten thousand voices greeted,
T^ord of lords, and King of kings. Son of Man, they crown, they crown Him, Son of God, they own, they own Him ;
With His Name the palace rings.
5 Blessing, honor, without measure. Heavenly riches, earthly treasure.
Lay we at His blessed feet: Poor the praise that now we render, I>oud shall l)e our voices yonder. When before His throne we meet.

2 There is a land of peace,
Good angels know it well ; Glad songs that never cease
Within its portals swell ; Around its glorious throne
Ten thousand saints adore Christ ; with the Father One,
And spirit, evermore.
3 O joy all joy beyond,
To see the Lamb who died, And count each sacred wound In hands, and feet, and side
594
To give to Him the praise Of every triumph won,
And sing through endless days The great things He hath done.
Look up, ye saints of God,
Nor fear to tread below The path your Saviour trod
Of daily toil and woe : Wait but a little while
In uncomplaining love, His own most gracious smile
Shall welcome you above.

THE EPISTLES AND GOSPELS
FOR THK
SUNDAYS and FESTIVALS throughout the CKURCH-YEAR.
THE FIRST SUNDAY IN ADVENT.
THE EFISTLK. Rom. xlii. 11-14.
And thi^, knowing' tlu' Hcason, that now it in liiK^i time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to ua than when we firnt l)elieved. The nipht is far ppent, and the day is at hand: let uh therefore east off the works of darkness, and let us \nit on the annour of light. Let us walk hon- estly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy. But nut ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the tiesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. THE GOSPEL. St. Matth. xil. 1-9.
And when they drew nigh unto Jemsalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two deciples, saying unto them. Go into the village that is over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a eolt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. And if any one say aught unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them ; and straightway he will sena them. Now this is come to pass, that it might Ije fultilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
Tell ye the daughter of Zion,
Behold, thy King cometh unto thee,
Meek, and riding upon an ass.
And upon a colt the foal of an ass. And the disciples went, an<l did even as Jesus appointed them, and brought the ass, an<l the colt, and put on them their garments; and he sat thereon. And the most part of the multitude spread their garments in the way; and others cut their branches from the trees, and spread them in the wa}'. And the nuiltitude that went before him, and that followed, cried, saying, llosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; llosanna in the highest.
THE SECOND SUNDAY IN ADVENT.
THE EPISTLE. Rom. xv. 4-13. For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learn- ing, that throiigh patience and through comfort of the scriptures we might have hope. Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus: that'with one accord ye may with one mouth glorify the (tod and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Wherefore receive ye one another, even as Christ also received you, to the glory of God. For I say that Christ hath been made a minister of the cir- cumcision for the tnith of God, that he might confirm the promises given unto the fathers, and that the Gentiles might glorify (io<l for his mercy; as it is written,
Therefore will I give praise unto thee among the Gentiles,
And sing unto thy name. And again he saith,
Kejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. And again,
Praise the Lord, all ve Gentiles;
And let all the people praise him.

TIIK KPISTLKS AND (iOSPKLS.
AikI again, Isaiali naitli,
There kIuiII be the root of Jesse,
And he that ariseth to rule over the Gentiles ;
On him shall the (Tontiles hope. Now the God of liope fill yon with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the lloly Ghost.
THE GOSPEL. St. Luke xxi. 25-36. And there shall be signs in sun and moon and stars ; and upon the earth dis- tress of nations, in perplexity for the roaring of the sea and the billows ; men fainting for fear, and for expectation of the things which are coming on the world: for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these things begin to come to pass, look up, and lift up your heads; because your redemption draweth nigh.
And he spake to them a parable: Behold the fig tree, and all the trees: when they now shoot forth, ye see it and know of your own selves that the summer is now nigh. Even so ye also, when ye see these things coming to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh. Verily I say unto you, This generation- shall not pass away, till all things ^e accomplished. Heaven and earth shall pass away : but my words shall not pass away.
But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come on you suddenly as a snare: for so shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of the earth. But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
THE THIRD SUNDAY IN ADVENT.
THE EPISTLE. 1. Cor. iv. 1-5. Let a man so account of us, as of ministers of Christ, and s+ewards of the mysteries of God. Here, moreover, it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. For I know nothing against myself; yet ani I not hereby justitied: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. Wherefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and make manifest the counsels of the hearts; and then shall each man have his praise from God.
THE GOSPEL. St. Matth. xi. 2-10.
Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, he sent by his disciples, and said unto him. Art thou he that cometh, or look we for another? And Jesus answered and said unto them. Go your way and tell John the things which ye do hear and see: the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good tidings preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall find none occasion of stumbling in me. And as these went their way, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold ? a reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out for to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Be- hold, they that wear soft raiment are in kings' houses. But wherefore went ye out ? to see a prophet ? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet. This is he, of whom it is written,
Behold, I send my messenger before thy face.
Who shall prepare thy way before thee.
THE FOURTH SUNDAY IN ADVENT.
THE EPISTLE. Phil. iv. 4-7.
Rejoice in the Lord alway : again I will say. Rejoice. Let your forbear- ance be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your

TNE NATIVITY OF OUR LORD, OR BIRTHDAY OF CHRIST, COMMONLY CALLED CHRISTMAS-DAY.
THE EPISTLE. Tit. ii. 11-14.
For the prraoe of God liath ai>|>earpd, ])rin2:ing salvation to all men, instmct- hig us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and wor«lly [lusts, we shouM live Fobi-rly and righteously and go<lly in this present world; looking for the blessed hope and apj)earing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ; wiio gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all inifjuity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works. THE GOSPEL. St. Luke il. 1-14.
Now it came to pass in those days, there went out a decree from Cjosar Augustus, that all the world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment nu\de when Quirinius was governor of Syria. An<l all went to enroll them- selves, ever>' one to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaa, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of I)avid; to enroll him- self with Maiy, who was betrothed to him, being great with child. And it came to pass, while thev were there, the days were fulfilled that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son; and she wrappe*! him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock. And an'angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them. Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people: for there is born te you this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the I>ord. And' this is the sign unto Vou; Ye shall find a babe wrapped in swad- dling clothes, and lying in a manger. And su<ldenly there was with the angel a multitude of the "heavenly host praising God and saying, Glory to (lod in the highest. And on earth peace among men in whom he is well please*!.
ST. STEPHEN'S DAY, OR SECOND CHRISTMAS-DAY.
THE EPISTLE. Acts vi. S-15; vii. 1. 2. 51 59. And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought great wonders and signs among the people. But there arose certain of them that were of the syna- gogue called the synagogue of the Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and Asia, disputinir with Stephen. An«l they were not able to withstan<l the wis<lom and the Soirit by which he pakt\ Then they suborned men, which said, AVe have heard him speak jphemous word's against Moses, and against (Jod.

people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and seized him, and brought him into the council, and set up false witnesses, which said, Thia man ceaseth not to speak words against this holy place, and the law: for we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered unto us. And all that sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
And the high priest said, Are these things so? And he said,
Brethren and fathers, hearken.
Ye stiff necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist tlie Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and they killed them which shewed before of the coming of the Righteous One; of whom ye have now become betrayers and imirderers; ye who received the law as it was ordained by angels, and kept it not.
Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus stand- ing on the right hand of God, and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. But they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed upon him with one accord ; and they cast him out of the city, and stoned him : and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul. And they stoned Stephen, calling upon the Lord, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice. Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. THE GOSPEL. St. Luke ii. 15-20.
And it came to pass, when the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing that is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger. And when tliey saw it, they made known con- cerning the saying which was spoken to them about this child. And all that heard it wondered at the things which were spoken unto them by the shep- herds. But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all things that they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken unto them.
THE SUNDAY AFTER CHRISTNIAS-DAY.
THE EPISTLE. Gal. iv. 1-7. But I say that so long as the heir is a child, he differeth nothing from a bondservant, though he is lord of all; but is under guardians and stewards until the term appointed of the father. So we also, when we w^ere children, were held in bondage under the rudiments of the world : but when the ful- ness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, bom under the law, that he might redeem them which were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father. So that thou art no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.
THE GOSPEL. St. Luke ii. 3^-40. And his father and his mother were marveling at the tilings which were spoken concerning him; and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother. Behold, this child is set for the falling and rising up of many in Israel ; and for a sign which is spoken against ; yea and a sword shall pierce through thine own soul; that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed. And there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher (she was of a great age, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity, and she had been a widow even for fourscore and four years), which departed not from the temple, worshipping with fasting and supplications night and day. And coming up at that very hour, she gave

And when eight days were fulfilled for circumcising him, his name was called .lesus, wliich was so called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
THE SUNDAY AFTER NEW YEAR.
THE EPISTLE. Tit. iii. 4-8.
But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeare<l, not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, which he poured out upon us richly, through .Tesus Christ our Saviour; that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Faithful is the saying.
THE GOSPEL. St. Matth. ii. 13-23.
Now when they were departed, behold, an angel of the I^ord appeareth to Joseph in a drean», saying, Arise and take the young child and his mother, and tlee into Kgypt, and be thou there until I tell thee: for Ilerod will seek the young child to destroy him. And he arose and took the young child and his mother by night, and'departed into P'gypt ; and was there until the <leath of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, Out of Kgypt did 1 call my son. Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the male children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the borders thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had carefully learned of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which waa spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
A voice was heard in Kamah,
"Weeping and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children;
And she woulcl not be comforted, because they are not. But when Herod was dea<l, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Kgypt, saying. Arise and take the young child an<l his mother, and go into the land of Israel ; for they are dead that sought the young child's life. And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judjea in the ro«)m of his father Ilerod, he was afraid to go thither; and ])eing warne«l of God in a dream, he withdrew into the parts of Galilee, and came and dwelt in a city called Na/areth ; that it might be ful- filled which was spoken by the prophets, that he should l>e called a Nazarene.

THE EPISTLES AND GOSPELS.
THE EPIPHANY, OR THE MANIFESTATION OF CHRIST TO THE GENTILES.
THE EPISTLE. Isaiah LX. 1-6. Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Tx)r(l is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross dark- ness the people; but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee : thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged ; because the abund- ance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. The multitudes of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the Lord. THE GOSPEL. St. Matth. ii. 1-12. Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, M'ise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, "Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and are come to worship him. And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ should be bom. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judtea : for thus ^it is written by the prophet,
And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah,
Art in no wise least among the princes of Judah
For out of thee shall come forth a governor,
Which shall be shepherd of my people Israel. Then Herod privily called the wise men, and learned of them carefully what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said. Go and search out carefully concerning the young child ; and when ye have found him, bring me word, that I also may come and worship him. And thev, having heard the king, went their way; and lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped him; and opening their treasures they offered unto him gifts," gold and frankincense and myrrh. And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
THE FIRST SUNDAY AFTER THE EPIPHANY.
THE EPISTLE. Rom. xii. 1-5.
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And be not fashioned according to this world : but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith. For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members have not the same office: so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and severally members one of another.
THE GK)SPEL. St. Luke ii. 41-52.
And his parents went every year to Jerusalem at the feast of the pass- over. And when he was twelve years old, they went up after the custom of the feast; and when they had fulfilled the days, as they were returning, the boy Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem ; and his parents knew it uot ; but sup-

And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: and Jesus also was bidden, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when the wine faile<i, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, Thev have no wine. And Jesus saith unto her, "Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother eaith unto the ser- vants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. Now there were six waterpots of ptone set there after the Jews' manner of purifying, containing two or three tirkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them. Fill the wateri)ot8 with water. And they tilled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them. Draw out now, an<l bear unto the niler of the feast. And they bare it. And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants which had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast calleth the bridegroom, and saith unto him, F'very man setteth on first the good wine; an(i when men have dnink freely, then that wliich is worse: thou hast kept the good wine until now. This .beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glori- ; an<l his disciples believed on him.

Be not wise in your own conceits. Render to no man evil for evil. Take thought for things honorable in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men. Avenge not yourselves, beloved, but give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance belongeth unto me; I will recompense, saith the Lord. But if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him to drink; for in so doing thoti shalt heap coals of tire upon his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

THE GOSPEL. St. Matth. viii. 1-13.
And when he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes fol- lowed him. And hehold, there came to him a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou cunat make me clean. And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, Baying, I will; be thou made clean. And straight- way his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man ; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
And when he was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a cen- turion, beseeching him, and saying, Lord, my servant lieth in the house sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. And he saith unto him, I will come and heal him. And the centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but only say the word, and my ser\'ant shall be healed. For I also am a man un<ler authority, having under myself soldiers: and I say to this one. Go, and he goeth ; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. And when Jesus heard it, he marvelled,. and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. And I s'ay unto you, that many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit' down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven : but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer darkness : there shall be the weeping and gnashing of teeth. And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And the servant was healed in that hour.
THE FOURTH SUNDAY AFTER THE EPIPHANY.
THE EPISTLE. Rom. xiii. 8-10. Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbour hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.
THE GOSPEL. St. Matth. viii. 23-27. And when he was entered into a boat, his disciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the boat Avas covered with the waves; but he was asleep. And they came to him, and awoke him, saying. Save, Lord; we perish. And he saith unto them, "Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. And the men marvelled, saying, AVhat manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?
THE FIFTH SUNDAY AFTER THE EPIPHANY.
THE EPISTLE. Col. III. 12-17.
Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering ; forbearing one another, and for- giving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye: and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the M'ord of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom ; teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God. And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

For wo did not follow eunnimrly devised fables, when we ma<lo known nnto you the ]>owi«r and eomiu'r of our l»rd Jestis Christ, but we were eye- witnoHses of hifl majesty. ^^»^ lie reeeived from (io<l the Fatiier honour and plory, when there came pueh a voiee to him from tho excellent plory, This is my lH'love<l Son, in wlu)m I am well please<l: and this voice we ourselves heard come out of heaven, when wo were with liim in the h<»lv mount, An<l we have the word of propherv made more pure; whereunto ye tlo well that ye take hee<l, as unto a lamp fliinim; in a dark j»lace, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in vour hearts: knowiuj? this first, that no proithe<*y of wripture is of private int<>r]>n.^tation. For no prophecy ever C4une by the will of mjui: but men spake from Clod, being moved by the Holy Ghost!
THE GOSPEL. St. Matth. xvii. 1-9.
And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John his brother, and brinireth' them up into a high mountain apart: an«l he was trans- iip\ired Wfore them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his parment« l>ecame white as the lijrht. And behold, there appeared unto them Aioses and Elijah tiilkinfiT with him. And Peter answered, and said unto Jesus, I>on1, it is goo<i for us to be here: if thou wilt, I will make hero three tal>ernacles; one for thee and one for ^foses, and one for Klijah. "While he waa j'et si^eakinji, behold, a brisrht cloud ovei-shadowed them: and behold, a voiee out of the cloud, saying, This is my l>eloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on tluir face, and were pore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them and said, Arise, and be not afraid. And lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, save Jesus only.
And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus comnian<led them, savinir, Tell the vision to no man. until tho Sou of man be risen from the dead".
THE SUNDAY SEPTUAGESIMA, OR THIRD SUNDAY BEFORE LENT.
THE EPISTLE. 1. Cor. ix. 24-27 and x. 1-5.
Know ye not that they which nin in a race nin all, but one nveiveth the prize? Even so nm, that ye mav attain. And every man that striveth in the games is temiK^rate in all things. Now they do it to re«'eive a cor- ruptil)le crown, but we an incomn)tible, I therefore so nm, as not unc«'rtainly ; so fight I, as not Keating the air: but I buffet my body, and brin^ it into bondage : lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.
For I w<nild not, brethren, have you ignorant, how that onr fathers were all under the cloud, and all i)assi'<i "through the sea; and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and did all eat tho same si>iritual meat; and did all drink the same spiritual <lrink : for they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the nn-k was Christ.

THE GOSPEL. St. Matth. xx. 1-16,
For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which went out early in the morning to hire lal>ourers into his vineyanl. And when he had agnnxl with the lalKMirers for a jK-nny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out aVxit tlio thin.1 hour, and saw others stand-

inpr in the marketplace idle ; and to them he Paid, Go ye also into the vineyard, and Avhatsoever is ri^dit I ^vill give you. And tliey went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto ihein, Why stand j'ehere all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard. And when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and pay them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. And when they came that were hired about tlie eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received every man a penny. And when they received it, they murmured against the householder, saying, These last have spent but one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, which have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat. But he answered and said to one of them. Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny ? Take up that which is thine, and go thy way; it is my will to give unto this last, even as unto thee. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? or is thine eye evil, because I am good? So the last shall be first, and the first last.
THE SUNDAY SEXAGESINIA, OR THE SECOND SUNDAY BEFORE LENT.
THE EPISTLE. 2, Cor. xi. 19-33 and xii. 1-9.
For ye bear with the fooli^ih gladly, being wise yourselves. For ye bear with a man, if he bringeth you into bondage, if lie devoureth you, if he taketh you captive, if he exalteth himself, if he smiteth you on the face. I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been week. Yet wherein- soever any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also. Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I. Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself) I more ; in labours more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths oft. Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day have I been in the deep; in journeyings often, in perils of rivers, in perils of robbers, in perils from my countrymen, in per- ils from the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; in labour and travail, in Avatchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and naked- ness. Beside those things that are without, there is that which presseth upon me daily, anxiety for all the churches. AVho is weak, and I am not weak? who is made to stumble, and I burn not? If I must needs glor^-, I will glory of the things that concern my weakness. The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, he who is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not. In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes, in order to take me: and through a window was I let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.
I must needs glory, though it is not expedient ; but I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord, t know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not; or whether out of the body, I know not; God knoweth), such a one caught up even to the third heaven. And I know such a man (whether in the body, or apart from the body, I know not; God knoweth), how that he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. On behalf of such a one will I glory : but on mine own behalf I will not glor>', save in my weaknesses. For if I should desire to glory, I should not be foolish ; for I shall speak the truth : but I forbear, lest any man should account of me above that which he seeth me to be, or heareth from me. And by reason of the exceeding great- ness of the revelations — wherefore, that I should not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in the fiesh, a mersenger of Satan to buffet me, that I should not be exalted overmuch. Concerning this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he hath said unto me, My

THE SUNDAY QUINQUAGESIMA, OR THE NEXT SUNDAY BEFORE LENT.
THE EPISTLE. 1. Cor. xiii. 1-13.
If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become pounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; an<l if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And if I bestt>w all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to })e burned, but have not love, it proliteth me nothing. Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itst'lf unseemly, set'keth not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil; rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the tnith ; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; wlu'ther there ]>e tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away. For we know in part, and we j)rophesv in part: but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part pnall oe done away. When I was a child, I ppake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am })ecome a man, I have put away childish thin^^. For iww we pee in a mirror, darkly; ])ut then face to face: now I know' in j)art ; but then phall I know even as also I have heen known. But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.
THE GOSPEL. St. Luke xviii. 31-43.
And he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written by the prophets phall l>e accoinplished unto the Son of num. For he phall be delivered up unto the Gentiles, and phall be niocke<l, and pbamefully entreated, and ppit upon: and they phall pcourge and kill him: and the third day he phall rise again. And thev un.lerstood none of these thiuL's; and this paying was hid from them, and they perceived not the things that were paid.
And it came to j)ass, as he drew nigh unto Jericho, a certain })lind man sat by the way side begging: an<l hearing a multitu<le going by, lie inquired what this meant. An«l they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.

And )><• cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have merry on me. And they that went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out the more a great deal. Thou son of David, liave mercy on me. And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: ana when he was come near, he asked him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And he said. Lord, that I may receive my sight. And Jesus said nnto him, Ee- ceive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, •when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
THE FIRST DAY OF LENT, COMMONLY CALLED ASH-WEDNESDAY.
THE EPISTLE. Joel ii. 12-19.
Therefore also now, saith the Lord, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: and rend your heart and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God : for he IS gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. AVho knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him ; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the Ix)rd your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly : gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, AVhere is their God?
Then will the Lord be jealous for his land, and pity his people. Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people. Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen.
THE GOSPEL. St. Matth. vi. 16-21.
Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance : for they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen of men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have received their reward. But thou, Avhen thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face : that thou be not seen of men to fast, but of thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall recompense thee.
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust doth consume, and "where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume,, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also.
THE FIRST SUNDAY IN LENT, INVOCAVIT.

And working together with him we intreat also that ye receive not the grace of God ifi vain (for he saith.
At an acceptable time I hearkened unto thee,
And in a day of salvation did I succour thee: behold, now is the acceptable time ; behold, now is the day of salvation) : giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministration be not blamed; but in everything commending ourselves, as ministei-s of God, in much patience, in afiiictions, in necessities, in distresses, In stripes, in impris- onments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings, in pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in the Holy Ghost, in love unfeigned, in the word of truth, in the power of God ; by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, by glory and dishonour, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; as unknown, and yet well known; ad dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; as sorrowful, yet

THE EPISTLE. 1. Thess. iv. 1-7.
Finally then, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as ye received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, even as ye do walk. — that ye abound more and more. For ye know what charge we gave you through the J^ird Jesus. For this is the will of (kxl, even your sanctitication, tliat ye abstain from fornication; that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanetilication and honour, not in the passion of lust, even as the (.Tcntiles which know not God; that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in the matter: because the Ix^rd is an avenger in all these things, as also we forwarned you and testified. For God called us not for nncleanness, but in sanctitication.
THE GOSPEL. St. Matth. xv. 21-28.
And Jesus went out thence, and with<lrew into the parts of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Ganaanitish woman came out from those ])orders, and cried, paying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. But he answered her not a word. And his discii)les came an<l besought him, saying. Send her awav ; for she crieth after us. l>ut he answered and said, 1 was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. J3ut she came and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. And he answered and said. It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs. But she said, Yea, Lord: for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, () woman, great is thv faith: be it done unto th^ even as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour.
THE THIRD SUNDAY IN LENT, OCULI.
THE EPISTLE. Ephe.s. v. 1-9.
Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children ; and walk in love, everi as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an o<lour of a sweet smell. But fornication, and all un- cleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints; nor lilthiness, nor foolish tiilking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks. For this ye know of a surety, that no forni- cator, nor unclean person, nor covetous *man, which is an idolater, hath anv inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and tiod. Let no man deceive you with

empty wends: for because of these things conieth the -wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience. Pe not ye therefore ]>artakers with them; for ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light (for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth).
THE GOSPEL. St. Luke xi. 14-28.
And he was casting out a devil which was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb man spake; and the multitudes marvelled. But some of them said, By Beelzebub the prince of the devils casteth he out the devils. And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven. But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them. Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils by Beelzebub. And if 1 by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? there- fore shall they be your judges. But if I by the finger of God cast out devils, then is the kingdom of God come upon you. When the strong man fully armed guardeth his own court, his goods are in peace: but when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh away from him his whole armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. He that is not with nie is against me ; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. The unclean spirit when he is gone out of a man, passeth through waterless pla-^-es, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will turn back unto my house whence I came out. And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more evil than himself; and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first.
And it came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou didst suck. But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
THE FOURTH SUNDAY IN LENT, LAETARE.
THE EPISTLE. Gal. iv. 21-31.
Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the handmaid, and one by the freewoman. Howbeit the son by the handmaid is born after the flesh ; but the son by the freewoman is born through promise. AVhich things con- tain an allegory: for these women are two covenants; one from mount Sinai, bearing children unto bondage, which is Hagar. Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to the Jerusalem that now is: for she is in bondage with her children. But the Jerusalem that is above is free which is our mother. For it is written,
Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not;
Break forth and cry, thou that travailest not:
For more are the children of the desolate than of her which hath the husband. Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. But as then he that was born alter the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so is it now. Howbeit what saith the scripture ? Cast out the handmaid and her son : for the son of the handmaid shall not inherit with the son of the freewoman. AVherefore, brethren, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the freewoman.

After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Gali- lee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

THE FIFTH SUNDAY IN LENT, JUDICA.
THE Kl'ISTLE. Hrl.r. ix. 11-15.
But Christ having come a hi^di i>riest of the ^ood things to come, through the greater and more {)erfect tabernacle, not made w itli hands, that is to say, not of this creation, nor yet throu<;h the })lood of goats an«l calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the holv place, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and Imlls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling them that have been defiled, sanctity unto the cleanness of the tlesh : how much more shall the blood of ('hrist, who through the eternal Spirit oft'ere<l himself without blemish unto (lod, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that a <leath having taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they that have L>een called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
THE GOSPEL. St. John viii. 46-59.
AMiich of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me? He that is of Go<l heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of God. The Jew s answered and saitl unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? Jesus answere<l, I have not a devil ; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonotir me. But I seek not mine own glor}- : there is one that seeketh and judgeth. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death. The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abra- ham is dead, and the prophets; and thou gayest. If a man keep my word, he shall never taste death. Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the ])roi)hets are dea<l; whom makest thou thyself? Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that gloritieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your (iod; and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not^ I shall be like unto you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad. The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily,* verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. They took uj) stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hi<l himself, and went out of the ttMii))le.

Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name; that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

THE HOLY THURSDAY.
THE EPISTLE. 1. Cor. xi. 23-32.
For I received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, how that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was betrayed took bread ; and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, This is my body, which is for you: this do in remembrance of me. In like manner also the cup, after supper, saying. This cup is the new covenant in my blood: this do, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink the cup, ye proclaim the Lord's death till he come. AVherefore who- soever shall eat the bread or drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. But let a man prove himself, and so let him eat of the bread, and drink of the cup. For he that eateth and drinketh, eateth and drinketh judgment unto himself, if he discern not the body. For this cause many of you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep. JBut if we discerned ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
THE GOSPEL. St. John xiii. 1-15.
Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. And during supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and goeth unto God, riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments; and he took a towel, and girded him- self. Then he poureth water into the bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. So he Cometh to Simon Peter. He saith unto him. Lord, dost thou wash my feet ? Jesus answered and said unto him. What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt understand hereafter. Peter saith unto him. Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, if I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. Jesus saith to him. He that is bathed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit : and ye are clean, but not all. For he knew him that should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
So when he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and sat down again, he said unto them. Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me. Master, and, Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, the Lord and the Master, have washed* your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, ' that ye also should do as I have done to you.

THE EPISTLE. Isaiah Lii. 13-Liii, 12.
Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted, and extolled, and be very high. As many were astonished at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man,' and his form more than the sons of men. So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider. Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor come-

He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satistied: by his knowledge shall my riirhteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their ini<|uities. Therefore will 1 divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; Itecause he hath poured out his soul unto deatli: and he was nunibered with the transgressors, and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
THE GOSPEL. St. John xlx. 1-12.
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and arrayed him in a i>ur- ple garment; and they came unto him, and sai<l, Hail, King of the Jews! and they struck him with their hands. And Pilate went out again, and saith unto them, lUdiold, I bring him out to you, that ye may know that I find no crime in him. Jesus thereft>re came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment. And Pilate saith unto them. Behold, the man! When therefore the chief priests and the othcers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them. Take him yourselves, and crucify him: for 1 tind no crime in him. The Jews answered him. We have a law, and by that law he ought to die, ])ecause he made himself the Son of God. When Pilate therefore heard this saying, he was the more afraid; and he entered into the palace again, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. Pilate therefore saith unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to release thee, and have power to crucify thee? Jesus answered him. Thou wouldest have no j>ower against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath greater sin. Upon this Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend: every one that maketh himself a king P])eaketh against (';esar. When Pilate therefore heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment-seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, (iab- batha. Now it was the Preparation of the passover: it was about the sixth hour. And he saith unto the Jews, Behold, your King! They therefore cried out. Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them. Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answere<l, We have no king but Caesar. Then therefore he delivered him unto them to be crucitie<l.
They took Jesus therefore: and he went out, bearing the cross for him- self, unto the ]>lace called The ])lace of a scull, which is called in Hebrew C-rolgatha: where they crucihed him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. And Pilate wrote a title also, and put it on the cross. And there was written, .iesis of nazarkih, thk kincj ok thk jews. This title therefore read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was erticitied was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hel»rew, and in Latin, and in (ireek. The chief })ri«'sts of the Jews therefore s:iid to l^ilatc Write

not, The King of the JewH; but, that he said, I am King of the Jews, rilate answered, What I have written I have written.
The soldiers therefore, when they liad crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part ; and also the coat : now the coat was witliout seam, woven from the top throughout. They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith,
They parted my garments among them, And upon my vesture did they cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. But there were standing by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the dis- ciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, AVoman, behold, thy son? Then saith he to the disciple, Behold, thy mother? And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own home.
After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst. There was set there a ves- sel full of vinegar : so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said. It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit.
The Jews therefore, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain on the cross upon the sabbath (for the day of that sabbath was a high day) asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. The soldiers therefore came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him : but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs : howbeit one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and straightway there came out blood and water. And he that hath seen hath borne witness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye also may believe. For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
And after these things- Joseph of Arimath?ea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secrelly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore and took the body. And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight. So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden ; and in the garden a new tomb wherein was never a man yet laid. There then because of the Jews' Preparation (for the tomb was nigh at hand) they laid Jesus.

THE EPISTLE. 1. Cor. v. 6-8.
Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the w^hole lump? Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are unleavened. For our passover also hath been sacrificed, even Christ: wherefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

And when the sabbath was past, Mary ^lagdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint him. And very early on the first day of the week, they come to the tomb when the sun was risen. And they w^ere saying among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the tomb ? and looking up, they see that the stone is rolled back: for it was exceeding great. And entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, arrayed in a white ro})e; and they were amazed. And ho saith unto them, Be not amazed: ye

THE GOSPEL. St. Luke xxiv. l»-35.
And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was threescore furlongs from Jerusalem. And thev commune<l with each other of all these things which had hapj)ened. And it eame to pass, while they comnuined and (iuestione<l together, that Jesus himself <lrew near, and went with them. But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. And he said unto them, What communications are these that ye have one with another, as ye walk? And they stood still, looking sa<l. And one of them, named Cleopas, answering said unto him, Dost thou alone sojourn in Jerusalem and not know the things which are come to })ass there in these days? And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before (.iod and all the people: and how the chief priests and our nders delivered him up to be condemned to death, and cnicified him. ]^ut we hoped that it was he which should redeem Israel. Yea and besi«le all this, it is now the thinl day since these things came to pass. Moreover certain women of our company amazed us, luiving been early at the tomb; and when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which safd that he was alive. And certain of them that were with us went to the tomb, and found it even so as the women had said: Uit him they saw not. And he said unto them, () foolish men, and slow of heart to believe in all that the ])rophets have sj)oken ! lie- hoved it not the Christ to suffer these things, and to enter into his glor>'? And beginning from Moses and from all the ])rophets, he interpreted to them in all the scrii)tures the things concerning himself. And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they were going: and he nuide as though he w<»uld go further. And they constrained him, saying. Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to abide with them. And it came to pass, when he had sat down with them to meat, he took the bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. And they said one to another, Was not our heart burning within us, while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to us the scriptures? And they rose up that very hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and foun<l the eleven gathere<l together, and them that were with them, saying. The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeare<l to Simon. And they rehearsed the things that happened in the way, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

THE FIRST SUNDAY AFTER EASTER, QUASIMODOGENITI.
THE EPISTLE. 1. John v. 4-10.
For whatsoever in begotten of God overcoineth the world: and this is the victory that liath overcome the world, even our faith. And who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jenus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit^ is the truth. For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for the witness of God is this, that he hath borne witness concerning his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in him: he that be- lieveth not God hath made him a bar; because he hath not believed in the witness that God hath borne concerning his Son.
THE GOSPEL. St. John xx. 19-31.
When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them. Peace be unto you. And when he had said this, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord. Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace be unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them. Receive ye the Holy Ghost: whose soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.
And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him. Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
INIany other signs therefore did Jesus in the presence of the disciples, w^hich are not written in this book; but these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye may have life in his name.
THE SECOND SUNDAY AFTER EASTER, MISERICORDIAS DOMINI.
THE EPISTLE. 1. Peter ii. 21-25.
For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps : who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were going astray like sheep; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
THE GOSPEL. St. John x. 12-16.
I am the good shepherd : the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep. He that is a hireling, and not a shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, beholdeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the Avolf snatcheth them, and scattereth them: he fleeth because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. F'ear God. Honour the kinu'.
Servants, })e in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the poo<l and pentle, but also to the froward. F'or this is acceptable, if for con- science towanl God a man endiireth griefs, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
THE GOSPEL. St. John xvi. 16-23.
A little while, and ye behold me no more; and again a little while, and ve shall see me. Some of his disciples therefore said one to another, What Is this that he saith unto ns, A little while and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the F'ather? They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? AVe know not what he saith. Jesus perceived that they were desirous to ask him, and he said unto them, Po ye inipiire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, A little while, and ve behold me not, and again a little while, and ye shall see ine ? Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is bom into the world. And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall'rejoice, and vour joy no one taketh away from you. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing.
THE FOURTH SUNDAY AFTER EASTER, CANTATE.
THE EPISTLE. James i. 17-21.
Every good gift and every perfect boon is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning. Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, fbat w'e should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Ye know this, my beloved brethren. But let everj' man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: for the wrath of man worketh not the righteous- ness of God. Wherefore putting away all tilthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
THE GOSPEL. St. John xvi. 5-15.
But now I go unto him that sent me ; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? But because I have spoken these things unto you, sor- row hath tilled your heart. Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, 1 will send him unto y(»u. And he. when he is come,

will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of jiid^r- nient: of sin, because they believe not on me; of righteousness, because 1 go to the Father, and ye behold nie no more; of judgment, because the prince of this world hath been judged. 1 have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. IIoMbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from him- self; but what things soever he shall hear, these shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall take of mine, and shall declare it unto you. All things whatsoever the Father hath are mine: therefore sjfld I, that he taketh of mine, and shall declare it unto you.
THE FIFTH SUNDAY AFTER EASTER, ROGATE.
THE EPISTLE. James i. 22-27.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves. For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But he that looketh into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and so con- tinueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth, but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing. If any man thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his heart, this man's religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspot- ted from the world.
THE GOSPEL. St. John xvi. 23-30.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may de fulfilled.
These' things have I spoken unto you in proverbs : the hour cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but shall tell you plainly of the Father. In that day ye shall ask in my name : and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you ; for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from the Father. I came out from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go unto the Father. His disciples say, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. Now know we that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou earnest from the God.
THE ASCENSION-DAY.
THE EPISTLE. Acts i. 1-11.
The former treatise I made, 0 Theophilus, concerning all that Jesus began both to do and to teach, until the day in which he was received up, after that he had given commandment through the Holy Ghost unto the apostles whom he had chosen: to whom he also shewed himself alive after his pas- sion by many proofs, appearing unto them by the space of forty days, and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God: and, being assemblecf together with them, he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, said he, ye heard from me : for John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
They therefore, when they were come together, asked him, saying, Lord, dost thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know times or seasons, which the Father hath set within his own authority. But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you : and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. And when he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up ; and a cloud

And after these things he was manif«'sted in another form unto Ium of them, an they walked, on tlu-ir way into the country. And they went away and told it unto the rest; neither helit'V*'*! they Ihem.
Antl afterward he was manifest«'d unto the eleven themselves as they nat at meat; and he uphraide<l them with their tinhelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had Si'en him after Ijo was risen. And he said unto them, (Jo ye into all the world, and preach the posi)el to the whole creation. He that believeth and is bapti/.ed shall be paved ; ])ut he that disbidieveth shall be condemned. An<l these si;rnH shall follow them that believe: in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall sjieak with new ton>:ues; they shall take up ser})ents, and if they drink any <leadly thin^, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken unto them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. An<l they went forth, and i)reached everywlu're, the Lord workin<r with them, and conlirming the word by the si^rns that followed.

Be ye therefore of sound mind, an<l be sober unto prayer: above all thinofs being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love covereth a mul- titude of sins: using hosi)itality one to another without murmuring: ac<-ording as each hath re<'eive(l a gift, ministering it among yourselves, as good stew- ards of the manifold grace of (Jod; if any man speaketh, speaking as it were oracles of Go<l; if any man ministereth, ministering as of the strength which (lod supplieth; that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
THE GOSPEL. St. John xv. 26-xvi. 4.
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Sj)irit of truth, which i)roceedeth from the Father, he shall bear witness of me: an«l ye also bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be made to stum])le. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you shall think that he offereth service unto (iod. And these things will they do, because they have not known the Father, nor me. But these things have I spoken unto you, that when their hour is come, ye may remember them, how that T told yon. And these things I said not unto you from the beginning, because I was with you.
WHIT-SUNDAY, PENTECOST.
THE EPISTLE. Acts ii. 1-3.
And wnen the day of Pentecost was now come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of the rushing of a mighty wind, and it tilled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of tire; and it sat u]>on each one of them. And they were all tilleil with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Si)irit gave them utterance.
Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. And when this sound was heanl, the nuiltitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man lieard them speaking

in liifs own lanj^iiage. And they were all amazed an<l marvelled, Haying, Be- hold, are not all these which npeak (Jalil<eans? And how hear we, every man in our own language, wherein we were born? Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and the dwellers in Menopotamia, in Juchea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia, in JMirygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and sojourners from Kome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians, we do hear them Ri)eaking in our tongues the jnighty works of (fod. And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, saying one to another, What meaneth this ? But others mocking said, They are filled with new wine.
THE GOSPEL. St. John xiv. 23-31.
If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my words : and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.
These things have I spoken unto you, while yet abiding with you. But the Comforter, even the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said unto you. Peace I leave w ith you ; my peace I give unto you : not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful. Ye heard how I said to you, I go away, and I come unto you. If ye loved me, ye would have rejoiced, because I go unto the Father: for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, tliat, when it is come to pass, ye may believe. I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world cometh : and he hath nothing in me ; but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
WHIT-MONDAY.
THE EPISTLE. Acts x. 42-48.
And he charged us to preach unto the people, and to testify that this is he which is ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. To him bear all the prophets witness, that through his name every one that believeth on him shall receive remission of sins.
While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell upon all them which heard the words. And they of the circumcision which believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid the water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
THE GOSPEL. St. John iii. 16-21.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world ; but that the world should be saved through him. He that believeth on him is not judged; he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. For every one that doeth ill hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, lest his works should be reproved. But he that doeth the truth cometh to the light, that his works may be made manifest, that they have been wrought in God.

And as Moses lifte<l up. the seri)ent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man he lifted up: that whosoever believeth may in him liave eternal life.
THE FIRST SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY.
THE EPISTLE. 1. John iv. 16-21.
(iod is love; and he that abideth in love abideth in (Jod, and God abideth in him. Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment ; because as he is, even so are we in this world. There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath punish- ment ; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love (jod, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, cannot love (4o<l whom he hath not seen. And this commandment have we from him. that lie who loveth (iod love his brother also.
THE GOSPEL. St. Luke xvi. 19-31.
Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day: and a certain be^par named Lazanis was laid at his jrate, full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table; yea, even tlie do^'s came and licked his sores. And it came to j)ass, that the beggar die<l, and that he was carried away by the anjrels into Abraham's bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried. And in IIa(U\s he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said. Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazanis, that he may dip the tip of his linger in water, and cool my tongue; for 1 am in anguish in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receive<lst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is com- forted, and ihon art in auLniish. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, and they which would })ass from hence to you mav not be able, an<l that none may cross over from then<'e to us. And he saiil, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house; for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come int«^ this ]dace of torment. But Abraham saith, They have .Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but

if one ^o to them from the dead, tliey will repent. An<l he said unto him, If they hear not ]SIoses an<l the prophets, neither will tliey he persuaded, if one rise from the dead.
THE SECOND SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY.
THE EPISTLE. 1. John iii. 13-18.
Marvel not, hrethren, if the* world hateth you. We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby know we love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But who hath the world's goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him ? My little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth.
THE GOSPEL. St. Luke xiv, 1&-24.
A certain man made a great supper; and he bade many: and he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a field, and I nuist needs go out and see it : I pray thee have me excused. And another said, -I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them : I pray thee have me ex- cused. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. And the servant came, and told his lord these things. Then the mas- ter of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor and maimed and blind and lame. And the servant said, Lord, what thou didst command is done, and yet there is room. And the lord said unto the servant. Go out into the highways and hedges, and constrain them to come in, that my house may be filled. For I say unto you, that none of those men which were bid- den shall taste of my supper.
THE THIRD SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY.
THE EPISTLE. 1. Peter v. 6-11.
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time; casting all your anxiety upon him, because he careth for you. Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your breth- ren who are in the world. And the God of all grace, who called you unto his eternal glory in Christ, after that ye have suffered a little while, shall himself perfect, stablish, strengthen you. To him be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
THE GOSPEL. St. Luke xv. 1-10.
Now all the publicans and sinners were drawing near unto him for to hear him. And both the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
And he spake unto them this parable, saying. What man of you, having a hundred sheep, and having lost one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he Cometh home, he calleth together his friends and his neighbors, saying unto them, Kejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that even so there shall be joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine righteous persons, which need no repentance.
Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek diligently until she find it? And .when she hath found it, she calleth together her friends and neighbours,

For I nckon that tht' siitfcrinjrs of this [jrcscnt tiinc are not wortliy to l)(» coniparrtl with tho (ilory whicli shall Ix^ revcaU'*! to ns-wanl. For the earnest expectation of tho creation waiteth for the reveahn^ of the sons of (lotl. For th*^ creation was siihjecti'd to vanity, not of its own will, hnt l»y r«'ason of hiin who snlgected it, in hope that the creation itself also nhall he (lelivercil fr<)ni the honda^e of c(»rniption into the liherty of the ^lory <»f the children of (iod. For we know that the whole creati(»n ^roaneth and tra\ail- eth in pain to^'i'ther until now. And not oidy so, hnt ourselves also, wliich have the tirstiniits of the Sjuirit, even we ourselveH ^roan within oufHeivew, waiting for our adoption, to wit, tlie redenii)tion of our body.
THE GOSPEL. St. Luke vi. 38-42.
Be ye merciful, even as your Father is merciful. -Vnd judge not, and ye shall not ])e judged: and condemn not, and ye sliall not he condemned: n'lease, and ye shall he released: give, and it shall he given unto you; goo<l measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your hosom. For with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again.
And he spake also a paral)le unto them, Can the lilind guide tlie })lind? sliall they not l>oth fall into a i»it ? The discijile is not above liis master: but every one when he is perfected shall be as his master. And why belK)l<lest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the l»eam that is in thine own eye? Or how canst thou say to thy brother. Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself ])eholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hyjujcrite, cast out first the ])eam out of thine own eye. an<l then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
THE FIFTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY.
THE EPISTLE. 1. Peter iii. 8-15.
Finally, be ye all likeminded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tender- hearted, humbleminded : not rendering evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but contrariwise blessing; for hereunto were ye called, that ye sliould inherit a blessing. For, he that would love life and see goo<l days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, an«l his lii)s that they speak no guile': And let him turn away from evil, and do good; Let him seek ])eace, and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears unto their su])plication : But the face of the Lord is upon them that do evil. And who is he that will harm you, if ye be zealous of that which is good? l*>ut and if ye shouhl suffer for righteousness' sake, blessed are ye: and fear not this fear, neither be troubled; but sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord.
THE GOSPEL. St. Luke v. 1-11.
Now it came to pass, while the multitude pressed upon him and heard the word of (xod, that he was standing by the lake of (iennesaret ; and he saw two boats standing by the lake: but the fishermen had gone out of them, and were washing their nets. And he entered into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. An<l he sat down and taught the multitudes out of the boat. And when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Put out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. And Simon answered and said, Master, we toiled all night, and took nothing: but at tliv word I will let down the nets. And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes; and their nets were breaking; an<l they beckoned unto their partnei-s in the other boat, that they
THE EPISTLES AND GOSPELS.
should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lqrd. For he was amazed, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken ^ and so were also James and John, sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. And when they had brought their boats to land, they left all, and followed him.
THE SIXTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY.
THE EPISTLE. Rom. vi. 3-11.
Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. For if we have l)ecome united with him by the likeness of his death, we shall be also by the likeness of his resurrection ; knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin; for he that hath died is justified from sin. But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more ; death no more hath dominion over him. For the death that he died, he died unto sin once: but the life that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Even so reckon ye also your- selves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.
THE GOSPEL. St. Matth. v. 20-26.
I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteous- ness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time. Thou shalt not kill ; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment : but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment ; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council ; and whosoever shall say. Thou fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire. If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee, leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art with him in the way ; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing.
THE SEVENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY.
THE EPISTLE. Rom. vi. 19-23.
I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye presented your members to uncleanness and to iniquity unto in- iquity, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness unto sanctification. For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free in regard of righteousness. What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctifica- tion, and the end eternal life. For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
THE GOSPEL. St. Mark viii. 1-9.
In those days, when there was again a great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and if I send them away fasting to their home,

THE EIGHTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY.
THE EPISTLE. Rom. vill. 12-17.
So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesli, t<^ live after the llesh: for if ye live after the tlesh, ye must die; but if by the spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For an many as are led by the S|)irit of Cnxl, these are sons of God. For ye received not the sjjirit of bonda^'e aj/ain unto fear; but ve received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are chil- dren of God: and if children, then heirs; hi'irs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.
THE GOSPEL. St. Matth. vil. 15-23.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or tigs of thistles? Even so everv good tree bringelh forth good fruit; but the corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit, A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corru])t tree bring forth goo<l fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the tire. Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, J.ord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven, ^hmy will say to me in that day, Ix)rd, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by* thy name cast out devils, and by thy name do numy mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
THE NINTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY.
THE EPISTLE. 1. Cor. x. 6-13.
Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be ye idolators, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, an«l fell in one day three an<l twenty thousand. Neither let us tempt the I>)r<l, as some of them tempted, an<l perished by the serpents. Neither murmur ye, as some of them nuirmured, an(i perished by the destroyer. Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admo- nition, upon whom the ends of the ages are conie. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but Go<l is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may endure it.
THE GOSPEL. St. Luke xvi. 1-9.
And he said also unto the disciples. There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accuser! unto him that he was wasting his goo<ls. And he called and said unto him. What is this that I hear of thee? render the account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward. And the steward said within himself. What shall 1 do, seeing that my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? I have not strength to dig; to l)eg I

am asliaiue<L I am resolved what to do, that, Avhen T am jnit out of the BtewardHliip, tliey may receive me into their houses. And caUing to him each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord ? And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty. Then said he to another. And how much owest thou. And he said, A hundred meanures of wheat. He saith unto him, Take thy bond, and write fourscore. And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of light. And I say unto you, ]\Iake to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteous- ness ; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal taber- nacles.
THE TENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY.
THE EPISTLE. 1. Cor. xii. 1-11,
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Ye knew that when ye were Gentiles ye were led away unto those dumb idols, howsoever ye might be led. Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking in the Spirit of God saith, Jesus is anathema; and no man can say, Jesus is Lord, but in the Holy Spirit.
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are diversities of ministrations, and the same Lord. And there are diversities of workings, but the same God, who worketh all things in all. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to i^rofit withal. For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom ; and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit : to another faith, in the same Spirit ; and to another gifts of healings, in the one Spirit; and to another workings of mir- acles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits: to another divers kinds of tongues ; and to another the interpretation of tongues : but all these worketh the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each one sev- erally even as he will.
THE GOSPEL. St. Luke xix. 41-49.
And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it, saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace ! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a'bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee ; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another ; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
And he entered into the temple, and began to cast on them that sold, saying unto them, It is w^ritten. And my house shall be a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers.
And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him: and they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung upon him, listening.
THE ELEVENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY.
THE EPISTLE. 1. Cor. xv. 1-10.
Now I make known unto you, brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand, by which also ye are saved; I make known, I say, in what words I preached it unto you, if ye hold it fast, except ye believed in vain. For I delivered unto j'ou first of all that which also I received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures ; and that he was buried ; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures ; and that he appeared to Cephas ; then to the twelve; then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep; then he ap- peared to James; then to all the aposries ; and last of all, as unto one born out of due time, he appeared to me also. For I am the least of the apostles,

Jiut if the ministration of death, written, and engraven on stones, came Mith glory, so that the children of Israel could not look ste<i- fastlv upon the face of iMoses for the glory of his lace; whi<'h glory waa piussing away: how phall not rather the ministration of the eijirit be with glory? For if the ministration of condemnation is glory, much rather doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

Brethren, I speak after the manner of man: Though it l)e but a man's covenant, yet when it hath hcvn continued, no one maketh it voi<l, or addeth thereto.

And turning to the disciples, he said privately. Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see: for I say unto you, that many prophets and kings desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.
And behold, a certain lawyer etood up and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? And he said unto him, AVhat is writ- ten in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Ix)rd thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and Mith all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him. Thou hast answered right : this do, and thou shalt live. But he, desiring to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? Jesus made answer and said, A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, which both stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance a certain priest ^\aa going down that way : and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And in like manner a Levite also, when he came to the place, and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was : and when he saw him, he was moved with compassion, and came to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring on them oil and wine ; and he set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said. Take care of him; and whateoever thou spendest more, I, when I come back again, will repay thee. "Which of these three, thinkest thou, proved neighbour unto him that fell among the robbers? And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. And Jesus said unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
THE FOURTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY.
THE EPISTLE. Gal. v. 16-24.
But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other ; that ye may not do the things that j^e would. But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, fornication, uncleanness, lafi- civiousness, idolatry, secrecy, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divis- ions, heresies, fenvyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they which practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.
THE GOSPEL. St. Luke xrii. 11-19.
And it came to pass, as they were on the way to Jerusalem, that he was passing through the midst of' Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: and they lifted up their voices, saying, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go and shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, with a loud voice glorifying God; and he fell upon his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering said, "\Vere not the ten cleansed? but where are the nine? AVere there none found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger? And he said unto him, Arise, and go thy way : thy faith hath made thee whole.

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other: or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye <'annot serve liod and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye phall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment? Behold the birds of the heaven, that they BOW not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly fiither feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto his stature? And why are ye anxious concerning raiment ? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: yet I eay unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. P)ut if God doth eo clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, () ye of little faith? Be not therefore anxious, eayintr, What shall we eat? or, "What shall we drink? or, AVherewithal shall we be clothed? For after all these things do the Gentiles seek; for your heavenly Father knoweththat ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. l>e not there- fore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself.

And it came to pass, when he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him. And behold, there Avas before him a certain man which had the dropsy. And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath, or not?' But they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go. And he said unto them, "Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a well, and will not straightway draw him up on a sabbath day? And they could not answer again unto these things.
And he spake a parable unto those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out their chief seats; saying unto them.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the arch- angel, and with the trump of God: and the dead In Christ shall rise first: then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

AVhen therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth understand), then let them that are in Judtea flee unto the mountains: let him that is on the housetop not go down to take out the things that are in his house : and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloke. But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days! And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on a sab- bath: for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved : but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ, or. Here ; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders ; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told you beforehand. If therefore they shall say unto you. Behold, he is in the wilderness ; go not forth: Behold, he is in the inner chambers; believe it not. For as the light- ning cometh forth from the east, and it isieen even unto the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of man. Wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

Where is the promise of his com- ing? for, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they wilfully forget, that there were heavens from 'of old, and an earth compacted out of water and amidst water, by the word of God; by which means the world then was, being overflowed with water, perished: but the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word, have been stored up for fire, being reserved agaist the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men,

But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall ho sit on tho throne of his glory: and before him shall bo gathered all tlm nations: and ho shall separate them one from another, as tho shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats: and ho shall set the sheep on his right hand, but tho goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit tho kingdom l)repare<l for you from the fountlatioa of the world: for I was an liungred, and yo gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and yo took me in; nake<l, and ye cl<jthed me: I was sick, and yo visited me: 1 was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink? And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, an<l clothed thee? And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answc^r and say unto them. Verily I say unto you. Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was an hungred, and ye gave me no nieat ; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye visite(l me not. Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in i)rison, and <lid not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you. Inas- much as ye di<l it not tinto one of these least, ye did it not unto 'me. And these shall go away into eternal punishment: l>ut the righteous into eternal life.

But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that aught to be written unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Ix>rd so cometh as a thief in the night. When they are saying. Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief: for ye are all sons of light, an<l sons of the day: we are not of the night nor of darkness; so then let us not sle»>p, as do the rest, but let us wat<'h and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be dninken are dninken in the night. But let us, since we are of the day, be Bober, putting on the breastj)late of faith and love; and for a helmet,' the hope of salvation. For (lod ai)pointed us not unto wrath, but upto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore exhort one another, and V»uild each other up, even as also je do,

THE GOSPEL. St. Matth. xxv. 1-13.
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were foolish, and five were wi^e. For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them: but tiie wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. But at mid- night there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, an<l trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give ns of your oil ; for our lamps are going out. But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while the^ went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut. Afterward come also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.
OTHER FESTIVALS GENERALLY OBSERVED BY THE EVANGELICAL CHURCH.
FESTIVAL OF REFORMATION, On Sunday Nearest October 31st.
THE EPISTLE. Gal. ii. 16-21.
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, save through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a transgressor. For I through the law died unto the law, that I might live unto God. I have been crucified with Christ; yet I live; and yet no longer I, but Christ liveth in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought.
THE GOSPEL. St. John ii. 13-21.
And the passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusa- lem. And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting : and he made a scourge of cords, and cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen ; and he poured out the changers' money, and overthrew their tables; and to them that sold the doves he said, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise.
FESTIVAL OF HARVEST.
THE EPISTLE. Acts xiv. 15-17.
Sirs, why do ye these things? AVe also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good tidings, that ye should turn from these vain things unto the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is: who in the generations gone by suffered all the nations to walk their own ways. And yet lie left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.

THE
HISTORY OF THE PASSION OF JESUS CHRIST, OUR LORD,
As Recorded by the Four Evangelists. Part First.— The Introduction.
Then Jet^ns six days before the paseover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. There they made him a supper in the house of Simon the leper; and Martha served: but Laza- rus was one of them that sat at the table with him. And as he sat at meat, there came ]\Iary having an alabaster cruse of ointment of spikenard, very costly: and she brake the cruse, and poured it over his head, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment. Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him: AVhy was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor ! This he said, not that he cared for the poor ; but because he was a thief, and having the bag took away what was put therein. And some of the other disciples, when they saw it, had indignation, saying. To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor. And they murmured against her. But Jesus perceiving it said unto them, Let her alone ; why trouble ye the woman ? she hath wrought a good work on me. For ye have the poor always with you, and whenever ye will ye can do them "good: but me ye have not always. She hath done what she' could: she hath anointed my body aforehand for the burying. And verily I say unto you, "Whereso- ever the gospel shall be preached throughout the whole Avorld, that also which this woman hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. (^)
On the next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel! And Jesus, having found an young ass, sat thereon; as it is written. Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold,' thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, bare witness. For this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that they heard that he had done his sign. The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Behold, how ye prevail nothing: lo, the world is gone after him. (2)
Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Pass- over. And Jesus said unto his disciples, Ye know that after two days the- feast of the Passover, and the Son of man is delivered up to be crucified. Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the elders of the people, unto the court of the high-priest, who was called Caiphas; and they took counsel together that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him. But they said. Not during the feast, lest a tumult arise among the people; for they feared the people. ("0

Part Second.— The Last Supper of Jesus with His Disciples.
And on tin' lirst day of unlcavem-d bread, when they .«acriru-«-d thf pasn- over, his discipk'H naid unto him, Where wilt thou that w«^ p> an<l make ready that thou mayest eat the pa.'^novt'r? And lie nent Peter and .lohn, Hay- ing', (lo an<l prepare us the passover, that we may eat. And they Haid unto him, Where wilt thou that we pri'pare? And lu^ naid unto them, JW-hold, when ye are entered into the eity, there Khali meet you a man hearinj< a pit<her of water, follow him into the hou.^e where he entereth in, An<l ye f^hall Hay unto the p)odman of the house, Tlu^ Master Haith unto tiiee, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples, where in the piest-ehamher, w heri' I shall eat the passover with my di8eii)Ies? And he shall show you a larue upper room furnished; there make ready. And his dis- eiples went forth, and came into the eity, and found as he ha<l Haid unto them: and they madt* ready the passover. (-)
And in the evening he eometli with the twelve, and he Hat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And lie said unto them, AVith desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I puffer! For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kinj^'dom of God. And he took the eu)), pave thanks, and said. Take this, and divide it among yourselves: for I Fay unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kin«rdoni of God shall come. ('')
And there was also a strife amonpr them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. And he said unto them: The kings of the (ientiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors, liut ye shall not be so; but he that is the greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is the chief, as he that doth serve. For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations. And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath ai)pointed unto me, that ye may eat and (trink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones ju<lging the twelve tribes of Israel. (^)
Now J<'sus knowing that his hour was come, that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having love(l his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the cikI. And during supper the devil having already put into the heart of Ju<las Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, Jesus, know- ing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from Go«l, riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments; an<l he took a towel, and ginled himself. Then he poureth water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wliere- with he was girded. So he conieth to Simon Peter, lie saith unto him, Ix)rd, dost thou wash my feet? .Tesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt understand hereafter. Pt'ter saith unto him. Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him. If I wash tlu-e not, thou hast no part with me. Simon Peter saith unto him. Lord, not luy feet only, but also my hands and mv head. Jesus saith- unto him, He that is bathed needeth not save to wash liis feet, but is clean every whit : and ye are clean, but not all. For he knew him that should betray him; therefore Siiid

he, Ye are not all clean. So when he l»ad washed their feet, and taken his parments and Fat down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call nie, Maf^ter, aud, Lcjrd : and ye any well; for so I am. If I then, the J^ord and the Ma.ster, have waf-hed your feet, ye alno ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given j^'ou an example, that ye also should do aa I have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord ; neither one that is sent is greater than he that sent him. If ye know these things, blessed are ye if ye do them. I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fultilled, He that eateth my bread lifted up his heel against me. From henceforth I tell you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. (i)
When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. The discii)les looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake. And they were exceedingly sorrowful and began to say unto him every one. Is it I, Lord? And he said unto them, It is one of the twelve, he that dippeth with me in the disk. And as they were eating, Jesus took the bread, and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave to them, saying, Take, eat; this is my body, which is given for you : this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it. This cup is the New Testament in my blood, which is shed for you and for many for the remis- sion of sins ; this do ye, as oft as you drink it, in remembrance of me, and they all drank of it. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. {^)
There was at the table reclining in Jesus' bosom one of his disciples whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore beckoneth to him, and saith unto him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. He leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? Jesus therefore answereth. He it is, for whom I shall dip the sop, and give it him. So when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. And he said. For the son of man goeth, even as it is written of him: but woe unto that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had not been born. And Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Is it I, Eabbi? He saith unto him, Thou hast said. And after the sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore saith unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him. For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor. He then, having received the sop, went immediately out; and it was night. (^)
AVhen therefore Judas was gone out, Jesus saith. Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him ; if God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him. Little chil- dren, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me, and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say unto you. A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another ; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. Simon Peter saith unto him. Lord, whither goest thou ? Jesus answered. Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now ; but thou shalt follow afterwards. Peter saith unto him. Lord, why cannot I follow thee even now ? I will lay down my life for thee. Jesus answereth. Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat; but I have

And when they liad Hunj? a liymn and JesuH having Hpoken many tiling nnto thetn (See St. John aiv-xvii.) ho went forth with his disciplcH over tlie hrook Cetiron, an wan his custom unto the Mount of Olives. And J<'suh Baith unto them, All ye nhall ho otteu<led hecauso of me this night: for it is writ- ten, I will ymite the Shepherd, and the Fheep hhall ho scattered. I'.ut after I am risen, 1 ^^ill go ht'foro you into (ialilee. lint l\'ter said unto him, Although all fcihall he offen<le<l, yet will not I. And Jesus naith unto him. Verily I say unto thee, that this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice! lint lio spake tin; more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not denv theo in any wise! Likewise also said they all. (•)
And ho said unto them, AVhen I sent you forth without purse, and wal- let, and shoes, lacke<l ye any thing? And they said. Nothing. Then said he unto them, Jiut now, he that hath a j)urse, let liim take it, and likewise his wallet: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet bo accomplishetl in me, and ho was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. And they said, Lord, behold, hero are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. C)
Then cometh Jesus w ith them unto a place called Gethsemane, where waa a garden, into the which lie entered himself and his disciples. Now Judaa also, which betrayed him, knew the pla<-e : for Jesus oft-times resorted thither with his disciples. And when Jesus was at the place, he sairl unto them: Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. Pray, that ye enter not into temp- tation! And he took with him Peter and James and John, the two sons of Zel)edee, and began to be greatly amazed, and sore troubled. And he saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death; abide ye here, and watch with nie. And he went forward a little, about a stone's cast; and he kneeled down, and i)rayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him, And he said, Abba, Father, all things are ]>ossible unto thee; remove this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, l)ut what thou wilt. And he cometh, and tindeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? Couldst thou not watch one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. He went away again the second time, and jirayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. And ho came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy, neither wist they what to answer him. And he left them, and went away again, and jirayed the third time, saying the same words, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me; nevertheless, not my will, but thine, be done. And there apiH>ared an angel unto him from heaven, strength- ening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly : and his sweat was as it was great drops of blood falling down to the gnmn<l. And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleep- ing for sorrow, and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and i)ray, lest ye enter into temptation. Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold the hour" is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going, behold, he is at hand that doth betray me. {*)

THE HISTORY OF THE PASSION
And straightway, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, having received the band of soldiers and ofHcers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches, with swords and staves, and went before them. Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto them, AVhom seek ye? They answered him, Jesus of N^izareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, was standing with them. When there- fore he said unto them, I am* he, they went backward, and fell to the ground. Again therefore he asked them. Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus answered, I told you that I am he; if therefore ye ^eek me, lei these go their way, that the word might be fulfilled which he spake. Of those whom thou hast given me I lost not one. Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, AVhomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; hold him fast. And forthwith Judas came to Jesus, and said, Hail Master; and kissed him. And Jesus said unto him. Friend, wherefore didst thou come, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss ? (')
Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. AVhen they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him. Lord, shall we smite with the sword ? And one of them, Simon Peter, having a sword, smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. Now the servant's name was JNIalchus. And Jesus answered and said. Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed it. Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword ; the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it ? Thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? (^)
In that same hour Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, which were come against him, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves to seize me ? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me, but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. But all this was done, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fied. And a cer- tain young man followed with him, having a linen cloth cast about him, over his naked bodv: and thev lav hold on him; but he left the linen cloth and fled naked. O
Part Fourth.— Jesus' Trial Before the Council.— Peter's Denial.
Then the band of soldiers and the captain and oflicers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, and led him away to Annas first; for he was father- in-law to Caiphas, which was the high priest that same year. Now Caiphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people. The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrines. Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort: and in secret I have said nothing. Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them : behold, they know what I said. And when he had thus spoken, one of the ofiicers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the highpriest so? Jesus answered him. If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me? Annas therefore sent him bound unto Caiphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled. (^)
And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known unto the high priest, and entered in with Jesus into the court of the high priest; but Peter was standing at the door without. So the

And the servants and otlicers stood then', who had made a lire of eoals, for it was cold; and they warmed themselves: ttn<l Peter stood with them, an<i warmed himself. There cometh one of the maids of the hi^di priest; and when she saw Peter warming; himself, she looke<l noon him and sai<l, Thou also wast with .lesus of Na/.an'th, liut he <lenied before them all, sayinj?, I know not, neither understaml I, what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the <'0(k crew. (')
Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, soii^ht false witness aj;ainst Jesus, to put him to death, hut found none. For numv bare false wit- ness a<:ainst him, but their witness a^'reed not to^'ether. At the last came two false witnesses, an«l said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of (Jod, made ^ith hands, and to build another within three <lays, made with- out hands. But neither so di<l their witness ajrree together. .\nd the hii>:h priest stood up in the midst an<l asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? But Jesus held his peace. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him. Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? I ailjure thee by the living (lod that thou tell »is whether thou be the Christ, the Son of (lod. Jesus said unto him. Thou hast said: I am; nevertheless I say unto you. Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sit- ting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying. He hath spoken V)lasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. What think ye? They answered and said. He is guilty of death! (2)
Now one of the servants of the high priest, being a kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith to Peter, Did I not see thee in the garden with him? And another confi«lently at!irme<l, saying. Of a truth this fellow also was with him, for he is a Galilean. And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and sai<l to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech V)etrayeth thee. Then began he to curse and swear, saying, I know not the man, of whom ye speak. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew the second time. And the I^ord turned and looked upon Peter. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him. Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. (•^)
And the n)en that held Jesus mocked him, some began to spit in his face, and buffeted him; and they blindfolded him, beat him, and asked him, say- ing, Proj>hesy: who is he that stnick thee? And many other things spake they against him, reviling him. (^)
Now when the morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. (•')
Then Judas, which betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and l)rought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. And he cast down the pieces of silver, and said. It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of bloo<l. And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's fieM, to bur\' strangers in.' Wherefore that field was called. The field of blood, unto this day. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jere- miah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price oi him that was priced whom they of the children of Israel did price; and they gave them for the potter's tieid, as the Lord appointe<l me.

THE HISTORY OF THE PASSION
Part Fifth.— Trial Before Pilate.
And the whole company of them rose up, and bound Jesus and led him away from Caiphas unto the hall of judgment, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate, the governor; and it was early. C)
And the Jews themselves entered not into the judgment hall, that they might not be defiled, but might eat the passover. Pilate therefore went out unto them, and saith, What accusation bring ye against this man? They an- swered and said unto him, If this man were not an evil-doer, we should not have delivered him up unto thee. Pilate therefore said unto them, Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your law. The Jews said unto him. It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should die. (2)
And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this man perverting our nation, and forbidding to give tribute to C?esar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king. Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews ? Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? Pilate answered, Am I a Jew ! Thine own nation, and the chief priests, have deliv- ered thee unto me. What hast thou done ? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews : but now is my kingdom not from hence. Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. Pilate saith unto him, "WTiat is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all. (^)
And when the chief priests and elders accused him of many things, he answered nothing. Then said Pilate unto him, Answerest thou nothing? Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? And he gave him no answer, not even a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly. (^)
But they were the more urgent, saying, He stirreth up the people, teach- ing throughout all Judaea, and beginning from Galilee even unto this place. But ^-hen Pilate heard it, he asked whether the man were a GaliLTan. And when he knew that he was of Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him unto Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem in these days. Xow when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad, for he was of a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him. And he questioned him in many words; but he answered him nothing. And the chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him. And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate. And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day ; for before they were at enmity between themselves. O
And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people, and said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that per\'erteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done bv him. I will therefore chastise him, and release him. (^)

Now at tlu' foast tli«' pivernor nvum wont to n'U»aH<» tinto tho i»eopIfi ono prisoner, whom thfv would. Ami they ha»l then a notable priMoner, called Harahhan, lyiii^ bound with them that had made insnrr»*rtion, men who in the insurreetion had eommitted murder. And the multitudti w«*nt np and h«*^'an to ask him to do as lie was wont to <lo unto them. lint IMIato annwered them. Haying', Ye have a oiistom, that I nhould release unto you one at the pa.'^sover, Who will ye that I releast^ unto you? RarabbaH, r)r .lenuH whirh in railed Christ, the Kiuij of the Jews? F<»r he pereeive<l that for envy the chief priestH had deliveriMl him np. And while ho was sitting on the jud^'inent- seat, bin wife sent unto him. savin^^ Have thou nothing to do with that ri^'hteouH man: for I liave suffered manv things this dav in a dream because of him. (')
Now the chief j»riests and the elders persuaded and stirred up the multi- tude, that thev should ask for Harabbas. and <lestroy .lesus. liut the jrovernor answered an<{ said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I ndease unto you? r>ut they cried out all toj.rether, saying', Away with this man and release unto us Jiaral)l)as! Now Jiarabbas was a robber. And I'ilate sj>ake unto them a^ain, desiring to release Jesus, saitli unto them, What then shall I do unto Jesus which is calle«l Christ? They all cried, saying', Crucify him, crucify him. And he sai<l unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he <lone? I have found no cause of death in liini. I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. .Vnd they crimed out the more exceedingly, Cmcify him: and the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. (2)
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. And the soldiers led him away within the court, which is the rratorium; and gathered unto him the whole band. And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. And they plaited a crown of thorns and ])ut it ujmn his head, and a reed in his right han<l; and tiiey kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail. King of the Jews! And they spit upon him, and took the ree<l an<l smote him on the head. O
Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them. Behold, T bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I tind no fault in him. Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purj)le robe. And Pilate saith unto them. Behold the man. When the chief priests therefore an<l otticera saw him, they cried out, saying. Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; and went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not to me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have i>ower to release thee? Jesus answered. Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews erie<l out, saying, If tiiou let this man go, thou art not Ctesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Ca?sarl
"VMien Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a i>lace th.it is called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha. And it was the preparation of the passover, and al>out the sixth hour: and he said unto the Jews, Behold your King! l?ut they cried out. Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them. Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but C:esar. (*)

THE HISTORY OF THE PASSION
"When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just jierson; see ye to it. Then ansvvered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. And Pi- late, wishing to content the multitude released unto them Barabbas, that for insurrection and murder had been cast into prison, whom they asked for; but Jesus, when he had scourged him, he delivered up to their will to be cruel- lied. C)
Part Sixth.— Jesus Christ's Crucifixion and Death.
And when they had mocked him, they took off from him the robe, and put on him his garments, and led him away to crucify him. And he went out, bearing the cross for himself, unto the place called The Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgatha. And when they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus; him they compelled, to go with them* that he might bear his cross, and laid the cross on him. C^)
And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him. But Jesus turning unto them said, Daugh- ters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, .but weep for yourselves, and for your children. For behold, the days are coming, in which they shall say. Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the breasts that never gave suck. Then shall they begin to say to fhe mountains. Fall on us; and to the hills. Cover us. For if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry.
And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death, e)
And when they were come unto a place called Golgatha, they gave him wine to drink mingled with myrrh; and when he tasted it, he would not drink it and received it not. (•*)
There they crucified him and with hiiji two robbers, one on the right hand, and one on the left, and Jesus in the midst : And it was the third hour, that they crucified him, (^)
And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know^ not what
THEY do. O
The soldiers therefore, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also a coat: now the coat M'as without seam, woven from the top throughout. They said therefore one to another, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilted, which saith. They parted my garments among them, And upon my vesture did they cast lots, These things therefore the soldiers did. And they sat and Avatched him there. (')
And they set up over his head his accusation. And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross; and the writing was, Jesus of Nazareth, the King OF THE Jews. This title then read many of the Jews; for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek and Latin. Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. Pilate answered, What I have written I have written. (^)
And the people stood beholding. And they that passed by railedon him, wagging their heads, and saying. Ha! thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself, and come down from the cross. In

And it was now about the sixth hour, and a darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour, the Bun's hght failing.

Now there was pet there a ves- sel full of vinegar; and one ran, and tilling a sponge full of vinegar jHit it on a ree<I, and gave him to drink, The rest said, Let he, let us pee whether Elijah will come to save him. {'')
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said. It ls fixished!
An<l Jesus cried again with a loud voice, and paid, Father, into thy HANDS I COMMEND MY SPIRIT ! And having said this, he bowed his head, and yielded up his ppirit. (^)
And hehold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the hottom; and the earth di<l quake; and the rocks were rent; and the tombs were opened; and many bodies of the saints that had fallen asleep were raised; and coming forth out of the tombs after his resurrection they entered into the holy city and appeared unto many. (")
Now the centurion which stood by over against him, and they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earth quake, and the things that were done and that he so gave up his ghost, feared exceedinerly and glo- ritied God, saying.

And he that liath seen hath })orne Mitness, and his witness is true: and he knoweth that he said true, that ve also may believe. For these things came to pass, that the scripture might he fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken. And again another scri})ture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced. C)
Part Seventh.— Christ's Burial.
And when the even was now come, because it was the Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, there came a rich man from Arimathea, a city •of the Jews, named Joseph, a counsellor of honorable estate. He was a good and righteous man and had not consulted to their counsel and deed, which had also awaited for the kingdom of God, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews. And he boldly went in unto Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion he asked him •whether he had been any while dead. And when he learned it of the centurion, he commanded, that the corpse be granted to Joseph. And he bought a clean linen cloth and took down the body of Jesus. (^)
And there came also Nicodemus, he who at the first came to him by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pound weight. So they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. {^)
Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new tomb, Joseph's own new tomb, hewn out in the rock, where in never man before Mas laid. There laid they Jesus therefore, because of the Jews' preparation day, for the tomb was nigh at hand. And the women which had come with him out of Galilee and Mary Magdalene and Mary Joses, followed after and, sitting over against the sepulchre, beheld the sepul- chre and how his body was laid. And Joseph rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed. And they returned, and prepared spices and oint- ments. And on the sabbath they rested according to the commandment, (^)
Now on the next day that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate, saying, Sir, we remember, that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive. After three days I rise again. Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest haply his disciples come and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead ; and the last error will be worse than the first. Pilate said unto them, Ye have a guard: go your May, make it as sure as ye can, So they Ment, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, the guard being M'ith them. (J")

remembered in the world to jruard us against temptation, and preserve us holy and umlefiled. Help us all to set our affections on things above. Keep ever in our minds, a lively sense of our responsibility to Thee. May we con- stantly live as in Thy world, in Thy sight, as Thy subjects, Thy creatures. Thy children. Let it be our study at liome and abroad, by day and night, to love and fear Thee as we ought, and to do those things which are well pleas- ing in Thy eight.
Enable us to become true followers of Thy Son Jesus Christ in all things; to clothe ourselves with His humility, purity and benevolence. Let Thy will, as it was His, be ours also. Like Him, may we go about doing good. May the contemplation of His character, and imitation of His example, bring us constantly nearer His own perfection, and to those mansions of everlasting happiness which He has promised to His disciples, and gone before to prepare for them.
Watch over us during the darkness of this night, and the defenceless hours of sleep; preserve us from all dangers; and bring us to the light of an- other morning more inclined to love Thee, and resolved to serve Thee, than we ever have been. Accept our evening sacrifice of prayer and praise, which we offer in the Name of Jesus Christ our most blessed Lord and Saviour. Amen.
MONDAY MORNING.
Great and glorious Lord our God; we, Thy servants, whom Thou hast brought to see the light of another morning, prostrate ourselves before Thee, and humbly acknowledge Thee as the God of our lives, and the Giver ot all good. It is Thou who sustainest us in the defenceless hours of sleep, and when we awake we are still with Thee. Encompassed by the same care which guarded us by night, we go forth to the occupations of the day. O God, our trust is in Thee. Give us grace to perform our duty faithfully; to use this world as not abusing it; to hold fast our integrity as long as we live; to remember that Thou seest us always, and that we must render a final ac- count of all that we do to Thee, the Witness and the Judge of men.
We thank Thee, O most merciful Father, for our domestic ties and family blessings. May we, the members of this household, mutually endeavor to discharge our several duties to each other with tenderness and fidelity. Let the gentle and pure spirit of the blessed Jesus possess our hearts, and influ- ence our conduct. Let tranquility, harmony and love abide in our dweUing, and the voice of health and cheerfulness be continually heard in it. AVilt Thou extend Thy loving kindness to all our friends. Delight in their happi- ness here, and make them heirs of the inheritance of the saints in the future and eternal world.
O Thou, whose blessing is on the habitation of the just, let us be the joyful objects of that blessing, now and evermore. O God, hear us in Thy great mercy; pity our sins; and from our united hearts accept this tribute of devotion, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
MONDAY EVENING.
0 Thou who dwellest in the heavens, but whom the heaven of heavens cannot contain, unto Thee do we lift up our souls. Thou art never far from any of us, and we cannot flee from thy presence. If we say, the darkness shall hide us, soon the night shall be light about us; for the darkness and the light are both alike to Thee. Thou seest us at this moment, and discern- est every thought and intention of our hearts. Thou art acquainted with all our ways, and there is not a word in our tongue, but lo, O Lord, Thou know- est it altogether. When discouraged by difliculties, let us look up to Thee from whom our help cometh ; and when distressed by calamity, may we take refuge in Thy mercy, and find peace by staying our minds on the eternal One. Through life may we act always as seeing Him who is invisible. In death may we find our consolation in the presence of Him, who, when flesh and heart fail, will be the strength of our heart and our portion for ever.

We acknowled;;e, O God, that these are hut a small part of Thy mercies. Thou hast been always with us; Thou art continually doin^ us ^'ood. All the blessings which we enjoy, or have enjoyed, <-ome down from Thee, the Father and Friend of all.
() teach us how to thank Thee as we ou^dit; to pHow forth Thy praise not only with our lips, but in our lives; by ^ivinjr up ourselves to Thy ser- vice, and by walkin*; before Thee in holiness and rij^hteousness all our days. Let us cherish that faith which is imbibed from a pure doctrine, and is mani- fested bv a holy life.

Afay every day of our lives be marked by some valuable improvement, some act of virtue, some victory over temptation and |)assion. May we be continually advancing nearer to perfec- tion, to the moral likeness of our Saviour, and to Thy rest and happiness above.

What our lot shall be, we leave to Thy wise providence; but O teacli us, under all circumstances, to be gratefid to Thee in i)ros})erity, and resigned to Thy will in atiliction and distress. Inspire our hearts with a purer love to Thee'; enlighten our minds with heavenly wisdom; and make our desires conform themselves to Thy purposes. Let gratitude l)e the pervading disposition of our souls. ^Fay we always feel that we are Thy children; that we have received from Thee infinitely more than we deserve ; and that the least return which we can make to Thee, is, to be contentecl and cheerful under Thy i)aternal government.
May our reverence for Thy will and coimnandments be displayed in our conduct towanl our brethren of the human family; so that we may constantly regard them with feelings of pure benevolence, and do unto them as we should wish them to do unto us.

ness ; and j^'iant that we may rise iij) in the morning with a firm resohition to imitate Thee, according to the measure of our humble capacity, by doing good.
Hear, answer, forgive and accept us, O Father in heaven, for Thine in- finite mercy's sake in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
WEDNESDAY MORNING.
O Thou infinite and eternal Spirit, by whose power the world in which we live, and the countless worlds by which we are surrounded, were created from nothing; by whose wisdom they and all that they contain are con- stantly directed; by whose goodness they are preserved in order, and filled with happiness and beauty; and without whose support, they would all return to the nothing, from which they came : we, Thy dependent offspring, humbly adore that power which displays itself so abundahtly wherever we turn our eyes; we adore that wisdom which governs all things rightly, and we bless that goodness by which all things are blessed. We come to Thee this morn- ing with the grateful acknowledgment of our dependence on Thy bounty and protection. We thank Thee for the gospel of Thy Son Jesus Christ; for the heavenly radiance which it has shed on the path of our duty, through the gloom of affliction, and on the bed of death. We thank Thee that it has en- abled us to look beyond the bounds of mortality and time and defy the power of danger and death ; and that it has promised to the faithful servants of God, and true disciples of Christ, those glorious rewards of a future life, which eye has never seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived.
All is from Thee; all joy, all support, all improvement, all hope. O may we become worthy of Thy mercies, by receiving them as from Thee, and using them according to Thy will, by renouncing and avoiding all that is evil, and following after, and cleaving to all that is good; by living and dying in Thy fear and love. And when we come to die, may we be able to look back on a life not uselessly spent, and forward to a blessed immortality.
Hear us, O Father, in heaven Avhere Thou dwellest, and accept us in the Name of Jesus Christ our Redeemer ; as whose disciples we address Thee, and through whom we ascribe unto Thee everlasting honors. Amen.
WEDNESDAY EVENING.
O God, the unchangeable and everlasting Fountain of life, perfection and happiness ; we lift up our hearts unto Thee, the greatest, wisest and best of beings. Grant that we may increase in the knowledge of Thee, day by day; that we may constantly attain more pure and worthy conceptions of Thy nature and providence ; that we may manifest a more becoming reverence for Thy perfections, and a truer concern for Thy honor and service.
O Thou who art love, and who dwellest in love, let us humbly imitate Thy constant and universal goodness. May we behave in our several stations with integrity and benevolence, and discover the real spirit of piety and good- ness in all the relations of life. jNFay we walk within our houses with per- fect hearts; be affectionate and faithful to our friends, and just and kind to all men. May we put on the ornament of a meek, compassionate, forgiving spirit; and may every good and generous disposition be daily improving in our breasts, until we' become fit for that happy kingdom, where love, and peace, and joy forever reign.
We also pray Thee, O God, to teach us in the knowledge and the govern- ment of ourselves: may we keep our hearts with all diligence, amidst all the trials and changes of the Avorld; in prosperity may we be humble, temi)erate and charitable; in adversity may we be patient, and whollv resigneil to Thy will.
O God, we pray Thee, to bless our country, our rulers, our friends, the churches of Christ, the ministers of religion, the instnictors of youth, the rising generation, and all the means of establishing, preserving and diffusing the principles of liberty and virtue. Keep us this night by Thine almighty

We pray unto Thee, O gracious God, in behalf of all our friends. Supply their wants out of the stores of Thy bounty; let Thy watchful providence evermore defend them from evil; and let Thy goodness and mercy follow them all the days of their lives.
We ad<lress our united devotions unto Thee, the Giver of all good things, in the Name and as the disciples of Jesus Christ; and now unto the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lonl of lords, dwelling in the light to which no num can approach, whom no man hath seen or can see, be honor and power everlasting.

FORMS OF PRAYER THAT MAY BE USED
"We render Thee oar sincere thanks for Thy word and its blessed truths conveyed to us, for its warnings, consolations, comforts and inspirations towards a better life given to all who would receive it in a faithful and up- right heart. Receive the most humble and earnest returns of a glad and thankful heart for the blessings of nature an<l the blessings of grace, for health and wealth, for the help and support of every minute and the gifts of every day. What are we, O Lord, and what is our fathers' house, that Thou, 6 great and merciful God of men and angels, shouldst multiply upon us the proofs of Thy loving-kindness ?
We mourn that the closing year, with its broken vows and lost oppor- tunities, has so nuu'h to fill each of us with shame. May we confess our manifold sins and shortcomings with the earnest desire to forsake them all for ever. Blot out our iniquities through the blood of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and grant us Thy Spirit, that we may realize that we truly are made partakers of the new and everlasting testament and the covenant of grace.
The departing year has carried hence the hopes and treasures of many hearts. Dear friends have disappeared, whose coming steps we shall hear no more. Bring home to us a sense of our mortality and the brevity of our earthly career. Made wiser by the solemn lessons of the past, may we hence- forth walk more worthily of our vocation as children of God. Guide us through the perils of all coming time and at last, when we shall tread the verge of Jordan, may we turn to Thee as our Father and our best Friend and be made partakers of Thy everlasting kingdom of peace and glor\', through the merits of our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
NEW YEAR.
We bow before Thee, O Thou God of our lives, and seek Thy blessing. May the coming year prove a new year indeed, bringing new thoughts, new desires and better resolutions. Happy, thrice happy, will it be for us if it lead us into a new and divine life. Should it bring trial and sorrow, and take from us health and friends, still happy will it be, if, through Thy grace, we are enabled to use it well according to Thy holy word and will, making Jesus Christ, Thy beloved Son, our great and only example. O let not this year be marked by broken vows, by a sinful surrender of our souls to the tyranny of wicked passions, by indolence, and deadness of heart. But may it prove for ever memorable as a year in generous purposes and Christian deeds. By the Divine power of Thy holy Spirit may we convert all the changes of life into opportunities of grace ; and so may we be raised above the power of time, and breathe the air of an eternal world, even Mhile we sojourn in this vale of shadows. O may Thy word be our rod, and Thy Son our Guide, that we may dwell in Thy house for ever and ever. Amen.
GOOD FRIDAY.
Almighty God, we beseech Thee graciously to behold this Thy family, for which our Lord Jesus Christ was contented to be betrayed, and to suffer death upon the cross. Thou hast not spared Thine only Son, but delivered Him up for ua all, that He might bear our sins, that Thou mightest remove from us the power of the adversary and save us from everlasting death. Surely He hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows: He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities. All we like sheep have gone astray: and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
Help lis so to remember and give thanks for our Lord's Passion that we may obtain remission of sin. May this holy season of Lent prompt us never to forget what our Saviour accomplished for us, when he languished on the cross and Himself tasted the awful agonies of death. May we thereby at all times be reminded of what we owe Him — a thankful heart and faithful love, true repentance of our sins and a life pleasing in His sight. In the duty of the day strengthen and sustain us; and, in the night of affliction and trouble,

O most merciful God and Father, we beseech Thee, that Thou wilt be pleased in this Supper, in which we celebrate the glorious remembrance of the bitter death of Thy beloved Son Jesus Christ, to work in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, that we maj' daily more and more with true con- fidence give ourselves up unto Thy Son Jesus Christ; that our afilicted and contrite hearts, through the power of the Holy Ghost, may be fed and com- forted with His true body and blood; yea, be truly united with Him, true God and man, that only heavenly bread: and that 'we may no longer live in our sins, but He in us, and we in Him, and thus truly be made partakers of the new and everlasting testament, and of the covenant of grace. Make us steadfast in faith, that we may not doubt but Thou wilt forever be our gracious Father, never more imputing our sins unto us, and providing us with all things necessary, as well for the body as the soul, as Thy beloved children and heirs.

A PRAYER AFTER HOLY COMMUNION.
All-suflScient God, Thou chief good and greatest delight of all the pious! In Thee alone does our heart find its rest, and in Thy grace its highest joy. The world with all its glories is vanity. Sin with its bri«f pleasure produces disgust. Let us consider all things well, and not love the world, nor that which is in the world ; the world passeth away with the pleasure thereof, the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. Lord if we have but Thee, we have enough, though we have nothing in the world beside. Rest content, my soul, for'the Lord is kind to thee. He has fed and refreshed thee at the table of His grace. 0 infinite Goodness! Therefore praise the Lord, O my soul, and what is in me praise His holy Name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits. Preserve, great God, this peace in my heart, and continue to do good unto my soul. Fortify me and Thy child'ren in all suffering by the comfort of the' Holy Spirit. Our adversity, which is temporal and easy to bear, nevertheless produces a surpassing glory for us, who regard not the visible but the invisi])le. For what is visible is temporal, what is invisible is eternal. A time will come when Thou wilt bring all who love Thee to the place of perfect rest, there to behold Thy face in righteousness, and to be satisfied, awakened in Thy unage. Amen.

Visit me, O \a)T<\, with Thy salvation, that I may wiUintrly submit myself to Thy will. Deliver me in Thy ^ootl appointed time from my bodily pain and eventually save my soul. Keep me 8teadfa.st in Christian faith. Allow me never to forsake Thee, ho that at the end of my days my soul may be received into those heavenly habitations, where the spirits of those who sleej) in the I.onl Jesus enjoy perpetual rest and felicity, (irant this, () Father, for the sake of Thy Son, our I>ord Jesus Christ, who liveth and rei^neth with Thee and the Holy Ghost in eternity.

Merciful God and gracious Father! Behold me on this bed of sickness, unable to rise. It has j)lease<l Thee to deprive me of health, and send this illness uix>n me ;— Thy will be done! (live me patience to bear all without murnuirs or discontent. In my better days Thou hast often gladdene<l my heart, why should I not now endure in patience? God is goo<l ; He chides in moderation; His judgments cannot entirely forsake me. I have received goo<l things at Thy hands, and Thou hast often refreshed me in my days of health; I will accept these days of suffering likewise, in Thy i)Ower and ])atience, and will humbly remember how many happy hours the Lord lias given me, comjjared to which these short intervals of suffering are insignificant. I know, my God, that Thou art loving and gracious; therefore, Thou wilt not impose more upon me than I can bear.
My God, here I am ; do w ith me as Thou wilt ; let me fully un<lerstand Thy counsel, which is, that this disease shall be as a tire to destroy the im- purities that taint my soul ; as a call to prayer for the forgiveness of all my sins, for the sake of Jesus; as a voice conunanding me to put my house in order, and to prepare for <leath, the grave, and eternity. Make me fitting to please Thee in Thy heavenly mansion, for I know, that these temporal sor- rows are to be Fuccee<led by surpassing glory. Therefore, be quiet, my soul; why art thou cast down and why art thou so disquiete*! within me? Hope in God for I shall yet praise Him who is the health of my countenance and my God. In Him I trust alone. He will do all things well, He will advance my welfare. For (tod forsaketh none of those who put their trust in Him; thousrh things look stranire and <loubtful, never give way to drea<l and doubts. Thou shalt be astonished to see how (4od will <leliver thee. Amen.

PRAYERS FOR THE SICK AND DYING.
A THANKSGIVING FOR A CONVALESCENT.
"Behold thon art made whole; sin no more, lest a worse thia^ come unto thee," "Offer unto (lod thanksgiving; and pav thy vows unto the Most High."
Almighty and gracious God! I come before Thy holy face, and thank Thee for having raised me up from my bed of sickness. I still think of the hours of anguish, of the sorrowful nights, of the great danger, which beset me. But lo, Thy mighty hand has raised me from my couch: Thou hast set me on my feet again, and enabled me to go out and come in. Thy grace has transformed my complaints into rejoicing. I^rd, Lord ! Thou hast done great things for me, therefore I am glad; Thy love and mercy have helped me to this hour. — Whosoever serveth God will be comforted* after affliction, and released from trouble ; and after chastisement he will find grace ; for Thou, O God, dost not rejoice in our perdition ; after the storm Thou permittest the sun again to shine; after the weeping and wailing Thou dost overwhelm us with joy. This mercy and fatherly care I too have experienced in my sick- ness; therefore, while I live, I will proclaim before the great congregation, what Thou, almighty God, hast done for me. Thou hast blessed the medicine, assuaged my pains, given me strength to overcome my suffering, and sent days of refreshment after the wretched and weary nights. Therefore, praise the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me praise His holy Name; praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities, who' healeth all thy diseases, who redeemeth thy life from destruction, who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies.
In my pain and sickness, I have discovered that silver and gold, honor and glory of the world, and even kind friends, did not avail to lift the cross from my shoulders, and if Thou liadst not helped me, I should have perished in my misery. Therefore, I Avill no longer strive after vain and fleeting things, but rejoice in Thee; I will avoid the sinful converse of the world, and cling to Thy altar, where is heard the voice of thanksgiving, and where Thy wonders are told ; I will renounce ungodly things and wordly lusts, and live chaste, righteous and godly in this world, so that when Thou shalt come w^th my dying hour and the end of my life, I may be prepared to enter into the joys of heaven. Amen.
PRAYER IN THE HOUR OF DEATH.
Almighty and everlasting God, most merciful Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who art willing and able to fulfill all Thou hast said; Thy word is truth ; in the beginning Thou hast promised Thy dear Son ; He came and redeemed me from the devil, death, hell, and sin ; afterwards Thou hast in Thy gracious Providence, given us for a greater security the sacraments of Holy Baptism and of the Lord's Supper; hast given His body and blood; and offerest through Him forgiveness of sins, eternal life, and a home in heaven. Into Thy hands, as into the hands of a faithful Creator and most merciful Saviour, I humbly commend my soul, beseeching Thee that it may be precious in Thy sight. AVash it, I pray Thee, in the blood of that immaculate Lamb that was slain to take away the sins of the world ; that whatsoever defilements it may have contracted in the midst of this sinful world through the lusts of the flesh, and the wiles of Satan, being purged and done away, it may be presented pure and without spot before Thee, ,and receive life everlasting, through the merits of Jesus Christ, Thine only Son, our Lord. Amen.
ANOTHER.
Merciful and loving God, Thou who dost not suffer men to die, and sayest, Come again, ye sons of men ! Thou who dost draw Thy loved ones unto Thee by death, and givest them a share of the glory acquired for us by the bitter sufferings and death of Jesus! I am growing weaker; I must die; I must meet the Bridegroom; keep the light of Thy lamp fresh and burning. Not
