preface
Each generation of Christians emphasizes a particular aspect of
the everlasting Gospel. Our own lays the stress upon the Kingdom
of God. We have been led to believe that, as the Kingdom was the
burden of our Lord's message, it should be the burden of His
Church's prayer and praise. This book is an attempt to furnish
the Church with a hymnal in which Christian communion with God
is viewed as fellowship with the Father and the Son in the estab-
lishment of the Kingdom.
The editors have sought to make a small collection of large hymns.
We have carefully examined several thousand hymns which have
found a place in the worship of English-speaking churches during
the last two hundred years. We have respected the sacred canon
of Christian experience. We have felt that the older and the more
widely used a hymn is, the more suited is it to common worship, and
the better adapted to manifest and to promote the unity of the
Church of Christ. We have striven, however, to include only hymns
which are poetically beautiful, which express a normal and healthy
spiritual experience, contain no divisive theolog}^, and are specific-
ally Christian in religion.
In arranging the music we have been governed by the principle
that it is better to select than to multiply tunes. The average con-
gregation should find no difficulty in using all the tunes in this
book. Most of them are already familiar. There are some new
tunes, but few of these are of recent composition. The great
English composers of Church music of the last century are well
represented, and the book contains a large number of older tunes,
— traditional German, English, French, Welsh and Dutch melo-
dies, and tunes from the Genevan, Scottish and American psalters.
We have tried to set the hymns to those tunes which have proved
best fitted to bring out their meaning with effectiveness and dignity.
Wherever possible we have placed hymns of the same metre upon
opposite pages in order to offer a choice of music.
The text of each hymn has been traced back, as far as we were
able, to its first edition. All changes have been carefully noted. If
iii
pretace
the author lias sanctioned a change, the fact is indicated by the
presence of two dates following his name. We have introduced no
changes into familiar hymns save in a few instances where we have
restored the author's original text and substituted it for the altered
form which editors have published. We have also attempted to give
the correct authorship or source, and the date of the tunes.
A small selection of children's hymns has been included because,
while the editors believe that children should be taught the great
hymns in the Sunday School, and so trained to join in the public
worship of the Church, they also believe that in the Church service
a hymn should occasionally be sung, which is especially adapted to
their religious experience, in order that they may feel at home in
the house of God. Such hymns often help older people to turn
and become as little children.
This hymnal is sent forth in the hope that it will assist the
Church of to-day to praise God heartily, intelligently and sincerely,
to sing with the Spirit and with the understanding hymns which
utter living convictions and which consecrate those who sing them
to the purpose of Jesus Christ.

1 r\ WORSHIP the King all glorious above,
^ 0 gratefully sing His power and His love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of days.
Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise!
2 0 tell of His might, 0 sing of His grace.
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space!
His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form.
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm.
3 The earth with its store of wonders untold.
Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old,
Hath stablished it fast by a changeless decree.
And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea.
4 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light.
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain.
And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.
5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail.
In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail;
Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!

VV Address the Lord on high !
Over the heavens He spreads His cloud,
And waters veil the sky.
He sends His showers of blessing down
To cheer the plains below;
He makes the grass the mountains crown,
And corn in valleys grow.
2 His steady counsels change the face
Of the declining year;
He bids the sun cut short his race.
And wintry days appear.
His hoary frost, His fleecy snow,
Descend and clothe the ground;
The liquid streams forbear to flow,
In icy fetters bound.
He sends His word and melts the snow,
The fields no longer mourn;
He calls the warmer gales to blow.
And bids the spring return.
The changing wind, the flying cloud,
Obey His mighty word:
With songs and honors sounding loud.
Praise ye the sovereign Tjord !

Thy glory flames from sun and star;
Centre and soul of every sphere,
Yet to each loving heart how near!
2 Sun of our life. Thy quickening ray
Sheds on our path the glow of day;
Star of our hope. Thy softened light
Cheers the long watches of the night.
3 Our midnight is Thy smile withdrawn;
Our noontide is Thy gracious dawn;
Our rainbow arch, Thy mercy's sign;
All, save the clouds of sin, are Thine.
4 Lord of all life, below, above,
Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love,
Before Thy ever-blazing throne
We ask no lustre of our own.
5 Grant us Thy truth to make us free,
And kindling hearts that burn for Thee;
Till all Thy living altars claim
One holy light, one heavenly flame!

1 r\ GOD, Thou Giver of all good,
^ Thy children live by daily food;
Aod daily must the prayer be said,
"Give us this day our daily bread."
2 The life of earth and seed is Thine;
Suns glow, rains fall, by power divine;
Thou art in all; not even the powers
By which we toil for bread are ours.
3 What large provision Thou hast made!
As large as is Thy children's need;
How wide Thy bounteous love is spread!
Wide as the want of daily bread.
4 Since every day by Thee we live,
May grateful hearts Thy gifts receive;
And may the hands be pure from stain
With which our daily bread we gain.

My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love and praise.
4 When worn with sickness, oft hast Thou
With health renewed my face;
And, when in sins and sorrows sunk,
Revived my soul with grace.
2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul
Thy tender care bestowed,
Before my infant heart conceived
From whom those comforts flowed.
5 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ;
Nor is the least a cheerful heart
That tastes those gifts with joy.
3 When in the slippery paths of youth
With heedless steps I ran.
Thine arm unseen conveyed me safe.
And led me up to man.
6 Through every period of my life
Thy goodness I'll pursue :
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.
7 Through all eternity, to Thee
A joyful song I'll raise;
For, 0, eternity's too short
To utter all Thy praise!

Are to my God distinctly known ;

Ere fi'om my opening lips they break.
3 Within Thy circling power I stand;
On every side I find Thy hand :
Awake, asleep, at home, abroad,

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

Where'er I rove, where'er I rest!
Nor let my weaker passions dare
Consent to sin, for God is there.

-^ To His feet thy tribute bring ;
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
Who, like me. His praise should sing?
Praise Him, praise Him,
Praise the everlasting King !
2 Praise Him for His grace and favor
To our fathers in distress ;
Praise Him, still the same for ever.
Slow to chide, and swift to bless ;
Praise Him, praise Him,
Glorious in His faithfulness!
3 Father-like, He tends and spares us.
Well our feeble frame He knows ;
In His hands He gently bears us.
Rescues us from all our foes;
Praise Him, praise Him,
Widely as His mercy flows!
4 Angels, help us to adore Him ;
Ye behold Him face to fice ;
Sun and moon, bow down before Him,
Dwellers all in time and space,
Praise Him, praise Him,
Praise with us the (jod of grace!

1 r\ GOD, the Rock of Ages,
^ Who evermore hast been,
What time the tempest rages.
Our dwelling-place serene:
Before Thy first creations,
0 Lord, the same as now,
To endless generations
The everlasting Thou!
2 Our years are like the shadows
On sunny hills that lie,
Or grasses in the meadows
That blossom but to die;
A sleep, a dream, a story
By strangers quickly told.
An unremaining glory
Of things that soon are old.
0 Thou, who canst not slumber,
Whose light grows never pale.
Teach us aright to number
Our years before they fail;
On us Thy mercy lighten.
On us Thy goodness rest,
And let Thy Spirit brighten
The hearts Thyself hast blessed.

-L Thy name is brightly shown,
Beneath, on earth. Thy footstool fair.
Above, in heaven, Thy throne.
2 Thy word is love; in lines of gold
There mercy prints its trace;
In nature we Thy steps behold,
The gospel shows Thy face.
3 Thy ways are love; though they transcend
Our feeble range of sight.
They wind, through darkness, to their end
In everlasting light.
4 Thy thoughts are love; and Jesus is
The living voice they find:
His love lights up the vast abyss
Of the eternal Mind.
5 Thy chastisements are love; more deep
They stamp the seal divine,
And by a sweet compulsion keep
Our spirits nearer Thine.
6 Thy heaven is the abode of love;
0 blessed Lord, that we
May there, when time's deep shades remove.
Be gathered home to Thee !

I see from far Thy beauteous hght,
Inly I sigh for Thy repose;
My heart is pained, nor can it be

2 'Tis mercy all, that Thou hast brought
My mind to seek her peace in Thee;
Yet while I seek, but find Thee not,
No peace my wandering soul shall see:
O when shall all my wanderings end.
And all my steps to Thee-ward tend !
That strives with Thee my heart to share ?
Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone,
The Lord of every motion there;
Then shall my heart from earth be free,
When it has found repose in Thee.
4 O Love, Thy sovereign aid impart
To save me from low-though ted care;
Chase this self-will through all my heart,
Through all its latent mazes there;
Make me Thy duteous child, that I,
Ceaseless, may "Abba, Father 1 " cry.
Each moment draw from earth away
My heart, that lowly waits Thy call:
Speak to my inmost soul, and say,
"I am thy Love, thy God, thy All !"
To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice,
To taste Thy love, be all my choice.

J- Of all this wondrous world we see;
Its glow by day, its smile by night,
Are but reflections caught from Thee:
Where'er we turn, Thy glories shine,
And all things fair and bright are Thine.
2 When day, with farewell beam, delays
Among the opening clouds of even.
And we can almost think we gaze
Through golden vistas into heaven, —
Those hues, that make the sun's decline
So soft, so radiant, Lord, are Thine.
3 When night, with wings of starry gloom,
O'ershadows all the earth and skies,
Like some dark beauteous bird, whose plume
Is sparkling with unnumbered eyes, —
That sacred gloom, those fires divine,
So grand, so countless, Lord, are Thine.
4 When youthful spring around us breathes,
Thy Spirit Avarms her fragrant sigh,
And every flower the summer wreathes
Is born beneath that kindling eye:
Where'er we turn, Thy glories shine.
And all things fair and bright are Thine.

1 ^OULS of men! why will j'e scatter

Foolish hearts! why will ye wander
From a love so true and deep ?
It is God: His love looks mighty,
But is mightier than it seems;
'Tis our Father: and His fondness
Goes far out bej'^ond our dreams.
2 There's a wideness in God's mercy
Like the wideness of the sea;
There's a kindness in His justice,
Which is more than liberty.
There is no place where earth's sorrows
Are more felt than up in heaven;
There is no place where earth's fillings
Have such kindly judgment given.
3 There is grace enough for thousands
Of new worlds as great as this;
There is room for fresh creations
In that upper home of bliss:
For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of man's mind.
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
4 But we make His love too narrow
By false limits of our own;
And we magnify His strictness
With a zeal He will not own.
If our love were but more simple,
We should take Him at His word;
And our lives would be all sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord.

Let every heart prepare a throne.
And every voice a song.
2 On Him the Spirit, largely poured,
Exerts its sacred fire;
Wisdom and might, and zeal and love,
His holy breast inspire.
3 He comes, the prisoners to release
In Satan's bondage held;
The gates of brass before Him burst.
The iron fetters yield.
4 He comes, from the thick films of vice
To clear the mental ray.
And on the eye-balls of the blind
To pour celestial day.
5 He comes, the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure;
And with the treasures of His grace
To enrich the humble poor.
6 Our glad hosannas. Prince of Peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim;
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With Thy beloved name.

That weary ones in Thee may rest;
Forlorn aud lowly is Thy birth.
That we may rise to heaven from earth.

To make us children of the light.
To make us in the realms divine
Like Thine own angels round Thee shine.

For this we tune our cheerful lays,
And shout out thanks in ceaseless praise.

Thus each to other due,
First Friend He was, best Friend He is.
All times will try Him true.
Alas, He weeps. He sighs. He pants!
Yet do His angels sing;
Out of His tears, His sighs and throbs.
Doth bud a joyful spring.

Can force all foes to fly,
Correct my faults, protect my life.
Direct me when I die.

Since happier light from heaven shone
Than ever shone before:
And in the hearts of old and young
A joy most joyful stirred,
That sent such news from tongue to tongue
As ears had never heard.
2 Then angels on their starry way
Felt bliss unfelt before,
For news that men should be as they,
To darkened earth they bore;
So toiling men and spirits bright
A first communion had,'
And in meek mercy's rising light
Were each exceeding glad.

3 And we are glad, and we will sing.
As in the days of yore;
Come all, and hearts made ready bring,
To welcome back once more
The day when first on wintry earth
A summer change began.
And dawning in a lowly birth,
Uprose the Light of man.
4 For trouble such as men must bear
From childhood to fourscore,
He shared with us, that we might share
His joy for evermore;
And twice a thousand years of grief,
Of conflict, and of sin,
May tell how large the harvest sheaf
His patient love shall win.

1 TT came upon the midnight clear,
-■- That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold :
"Peace on the earth, good-will to men,
From heaven's all-gracious King!"
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come.
With peaceful wings unfurled,
All still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever o'er it's Babel-sounds
The blessed angels sing.
3 Yet with the woes of sin and strife,
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel-strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love-song which they bring:
O hush the noise, ye men of strife.
And hear the angels sing!
4 And ye, beneath life's crushing load.
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way,
With painful steps and slow,
Look now ! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing :
0 rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing]!
5 For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophet-bards foretold.
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold ;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.

And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently.

So God imparts to human hearts
The blessing of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him
The dear Christ enters in.

Wise men in their wisdom.
To His humble home;
Stirred by deep devotion,
Hasting from afar.
Ever journeying onward.
Guided by a star.
Light of life that sliineth
Ere the worlds began.
Draw Thou near, and lighten
Every heart of man.
2 Thou who in a manger.
Once hast lowly lain,
Who dost now in glory
O'er all kingdoms reign,
Gather in the neathen,
Who in lands afar
Ne'er have seen the brightness
Of Thy guiding star.
3 Gather in the outcasts,
All who've gone astray;
Throw Thy radiance o'er them;
Guide them on their way.
Those who never knew Thee,
Those who've wandered far,
Guide them by the brightness
Of Thy guiding star.
4 Until every nation.
Whether bond or free,
'Neath Thy starlit banner,

O'er the distant mountains
To that heavenly home.
Where no sin nor sorrow
Evermore shall come.

O'er darkness and the grave.
To Thee they went, the blind, the dumb.
The palsied and the lame,
The leper with his tainted life,
The sick with fevered frame.

Thou Lord of life and death;
Restore and quicken, soothe and bless
With Thine almighty breath;
To hands that work and eyes that see
Give wisdom's heavenlj' lore.

' ' Happy hearts to Him were dear,
Though His heart was sad;
Worn and lonely for our sake,
Yet He turned aside to make
All the weary glad.
2 iMeck and lowly were His ways,
From His loving grew His praise,
From His giving, prayer:
All the outcasts thronged to hear,
All the sorrowful drew near
To enjoy His care.
r
3 When He walked the fields, He drew
From the flowers, and birds, and dew,
Parables of God;
For within His heart of love
All the soul of man did move,
God had His abode.
4 Fill us with Thy deep desire.
All the sinful to inspire,
With the Father's life:
Free us from the cares that press
On the heart of worldliness,
From the fret and strife.
5 Lord, be ours Thy power to keep
In the very heart of grief,
And in trial, love.
In our meekness to be wise,
And through sorrow to arise
To our God above.

And plead to be forgiven,
So let Thy life our pattern be.
And form our souls for heaven.
2 Help us, through good report and ill.
Our daily cross to bear ;
Like Thee, to do our Father's will,
Our brethren's griefs to share.
3 Let grace our selfishness expel,
Our earthliness refine;
And kindness in our bosoms dwell.
As free and true as Thine.
4 If joy shall at Thy bidding fly.
And grief's dark day come on.
We, in our turn, would meekly cry,
"Father, Thy will be done."
5 Should friends misjudge, or foes defame,
Or brethren faithless prove.
Then, like Thine own, be all our aim
To conquer them by love.
6 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife.
Forgiving and forgiven,
0 may we lead the pilgrim's life.
And follow Thee to heaven.

' ' On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my my pride.
2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God:
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.
3 Sec, from His head. His hands. His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down:
Did e'er such love and son-ow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 His dying crimson like a robe,
Spreads o'er His body on the tree;
Then am I dead to all the globe.
And all the globe is dead to me.

That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

-^-^ That man to judge Thee hath in hate pretended?
By foes derided, by Tliine own rejected,
O most afflicted!
2 Who was the guilty? who In'ought this ujion Thee?
Alas, my treason, Jesus, liath undone Thee;
'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied Thee,
I crucified Tliee.
3 For me, kind Jesus, was Tliine incarnation.
Thy mortal sorrow, and Thy life's oblation;
Thy death of anguish and Thy bitter passion,
For my salvation.
4 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay Thee,
I do adore Thee, and w^ill ever pray Thee
Think on Thy pity and Thy love unswerving.
Not my deserving.

1 "DENEATH the cross of Jesus
-^^ I fiiin would take my stand,
The shadow of a mighty rock
Within a weary land,
A home within the wilderness,
A rest upon the way.
From the burning of the noontide heat,
And the burden of the day.
2 Upon that cross of Jesus
Mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of One
Who suffered there for me;
And from mj' smitten heart with tears
Two wonders I confess, —
Tlie wonders of His glorious love
And my own worthlessness.
3 I take, 0 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 onlj?^ shame,
My glory all the cross.

OSx\CREp Head, now wounded.
With grief and shame weighed down,
Now scornfully surrounded
With thorns, Thy only crown!
How art Thou pale with anguish.
With sore abuse and scorn !
How does that visage languish
Which once was bright as morn!
2 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.
3 What languge shall I borrow
To thank Thee, dearest Friend,
For this. Thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end ?
0 make me Thine forever,
And should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
Outlive my love to Thee.
4 Be near me when I'm dying,
0 show Thy cross to me;
And for my succor flying.
Come, Lord, and set me free.
These eyes new faith receiving.
From Jesus shall not move,
For he, who dies believing.
Dies safely through Thy love.

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'crtake 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 way,
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.

That He is with us, now and here,
And ever shall remain.
2 And what I say, let each this morn
Go tell it to his friend,
That soon in every place shall dawn
His kingdom without end.
3 Now first to souls who thus awake
Seems earth a fatherland;
A new and endless life they take
With rapture from His hand.
4 The fears of death and of the grave
Are whelmed beneath the sea.
And every heart, now light and brave,

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

In the void which He has left
On this earth, of Him bereft.
We have still His work to do;
We can still His path pursue.
Seek- Him both in friend and foe,
In ourselves His image show.
He is gone: we heard Him say,
"Good that I shoidd go away."
Gone is that dear form and face,
But not gone His present grace;
Though Himself no more we see,
Comfortless we cannot be:
No, His Spirit still is ours.
Quickening, freshening all our powers.
He is gone: toward their goal
World and church must onward roll;
Far behind we leave the past.
Forward are our glances cast;
Still His words before us range
Through the ages, as they change,
Whereso'er the truth shall lead,
He will give whate'er we need.

1 TTAIL the day that sees Him rise
-*-■- Ravished from our wishful eyes!
Christ, awhile to mortals given
E,e-ascends His native heaven.
There the pompous triumph waits:
"Lift your heads, eternal gates.
Wide unfold the radiant scene,
Take the King of glory in ! "
2 Him though highest heaven receives.
Still He loves the earth He leaves;
Though returning to His throne,
Still He calls mankind His own.
-V-
See, He lifts His hands above!
See, He shows the prints of love,
Near Himself prepares our place,
Harbinger of human race!
3 Grant, though parted from our sight,
High above yon azure height,
Grant our hearts may thither rise,
Following Thee beyond the skies.
Ever upward let us move,
Wafted on the wings of love,
There Thy face unclouded see.
Find our heaven of heavens in Thee.

2 The highest place that heaven affords
Is His, is His by right,
The King of kings, and Lord of lords,
And heaven's eternal Light,
3 The Joy of all who dwell above,
The Joy of all below
To whom He manifests His love,
And grants His name to know.
4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace, is given, —
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy the joy of heaven.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
They reign with Him above, —
Their profit and their joy to know
The mj'stery of His love.
6 The cross He bore is life and health,
Though shame and death to Him, —
His people's hope, His people's wealth,
Their everlasting theme.

Absorbed in prayer and praise.

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

My shield and hiding-place,
3Iy never-failing treasury, filled
With boundless stores of grace.
4 Jesus! my Shepherd, Brother, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.
5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
And cold my warmest thought;
But when I see Thee as Thou art,
I'll praise Thee as I ought.
6 Till then I would Thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath;
And may the music of Thy name
Refresh my soul in death.

And to all their wants attends.

Yet this glorious Friend and Brother
Loves us though we treat Him thus;
Though for good we render ill.
He accounts us brethren still.

But when home our souls are brought,
We will love Thee as we ought.

And thus He bound me to Him;
And round my heart still closely twine
Those ties which naught can sever,
For I am His, and He is mine,

And not alone the gift of life,
But His own self He gave me.
Naught that I have mine own I'll call,
I'll hold it for the Giver;
My heart, my strength, my life, my all
Are His, and His for ever.
I've found a Friend, 0 such a Friend!
All power to Him is given
To guard me on my onward course,
And bring me safe to heaven:
Eternal glory gleams afar.
To nerve my faint endeavor;
So now to watch, to work, to war,
And then to rest for ever.
I've found a Friend, 0 such a Friend!
So kind and true and tender!
So wise a Counsellor and Guide,
So mighty a Defender!
From Him who loves me now so well
What power my soul shall sever?
Shall life or death, shall earth or hell ?
No: I am His for ever.

2 We may not climb the heavenly steeps
To bring the Jjord Christ down;
In vain we search the lowest deeps.
For Him no depths can drown.
3 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
A present help is He;
And faith has still its Olivet,
And love its Galilee.
4 The healing of His seamless dress
Is by our beds of pain;
We touch Him in life's throng and press,
And we are whole again.
5 Through Him the first fond frayers are said
Our lips of childhood frame;
The last low whispers of our dead
Are burdened with His name.
6 Our Lord and Master of us all,
Whate'er our name or sign,
We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call.
We test our lives by Thine.

I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary and worn and sad,
I found in Him a resting-place.
And He has made me glad.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one.
Stoop down, and drink, and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thrist was quenched, my soul revived.
And now I live in Him.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's Light;
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise.
And all thy days be bright."
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In Him my Star, my Sun;
And in that light of life I'll walk.

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

For years are fleeting fast.
And soon in solemn loneness
The river must be passed;
But Thou wilt never leave me,
And though the waves roll high,

1 pREATOR Spirit, by whose aid
The world's foundations first were laid,
Come, visit every pious mind;
Come, pour Thy joys on human kind;
From sin and sorrow set us free.
And make Thy temples worthy Thee.
2 0 Source of uncreated light.
The Father's promised Paraclete,
Thrice holy Fount, thrice holy Fire,
Our hearts with heavenly love inspire;
Come, and Thy sacred unction bring
To sanctify us, while we sing.
3 Plenteous of grace, descend from high,
Rich in Thj' sevenfold energy;
Thou Strength of His almighty hand.
Whose power does heaven and earth com-
Chase from our minds th' infernal foe, [mand;
And peace, the fruit of love, bestow:
4 And lest our feet should step astray,
Protect and guide us in the way;
Make us eternal truths receive,
And practise all that we believe;
Give us Thyself, that we may see
The Father and the Son by Thee.

A Guide, a Comforter, bequeathed
With us to dwell.
2 He came sweet influence to impart,
A gracious, willing Guest,
While He can find one humble heart
Wherein to rest.
3 And His that gentle voice we hear,
Soft as the breath of even.
That checks each thought, that calms each fear,
And speaks of heaven.
4 And every virtue we possess.
And every victory won.
And every thought of holiness
Are His alone.

Of Thy gifts at Pentecost,
Holy, heavenly love.
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;
Therefore, give us love.
4 Prophecy will fade away,
Melting in the light of day;
Love will ever with us stay;
Therefore, give us love.
5 Faith will vanish into sight;
Hope be emptied in delight;
Love in heaven will shine more bright;
Therefore, give us 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.

1 C\ WORD of God incarnate,

O Truth unchanged, unchanging,
0 Light of our dark sky,
We praise Thee for the radiance
That from the hallowed page,
A lantern to our foot-steps,
Shines on from age to age.
2 The Church from her dear Master
Received the gift divine,
And still that light she lifteth
O'er all the earth to shine.
It is the golden casket.
Where gems of truth are stored;
It is the heaven-drawn picture
-Of Christ, the living Word.
i-^

It floateth like a banner
Before God's host unfurled;
It shineth like a beacon
Above the darkling world;
It is the chart and compass
That o'er life's surging sea,
'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands
Still guides, 0 Christ, to Thee.
0 make Thy Church, dear Saviour,
A lamp of purest gold.
To bear before the nations
Thy true light, as of old.
0 teach Thy wandering pilgrims
By this their path to trace,
Till, clouds and darkness ended.
They see Thee face to face.

And to one hope she presses,
With every grace endued.
'Mid toil and tribulation.

She waits the consummation
Of peace for evermore;
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest.
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.
Yet she on earth hath union
With Father, Spirit, Son,
And mystic sweet conmunion
With those whose rest is won:
0 happy ones and holy!

Like them the meek and lowly.
On high may dwell with Thee.

Of mortal ills prevailing;
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great,
And, armed with cruel hate.

2 Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing;
Were not the right man on our side.

Dost ask who that may be?

From age to age the same,
Aod He must win the battle.

3 And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us;
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumj^h 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 they may kill:
God's truth abideth still,
His kingdom is for ever.

1 rriHOU gracious Power, whose mercy lends
The light of home, the smile of friends,
Our families in Thine arms enfold
As Thou didst keep Thy folk of old.
2 For all the blessings life has brought.
For all its sorrowing hours have taught,
For all we mourn, for all we keep.
The hands we clasp, the loved that sleep,
3 The noontide sunshine of the past,
These brief, bright moments fading fast,
The stars that gild our darkening years.
The twilight ray from holier spheres,
4 We thank Thee, Father; let Thy grace
Our loving circles still embrace.
Thy mercy shed its heavenly store.
Thy peace be with us evermore.

1 T ORD of life and King of glory,
-L^ Who didst deign a child to be,
Cradled on a mother's bosom,
Throned upon a mother's knee.
For the children Thou hast given
We must answer unto Thee.
2 Since the day the blessed Mother
Thee, the world's Redeemer, bore.
Thou hast crowned us with an honor
Women never knew before;
And that we may bear it meetly
We must seek Thine aid the more.
3 Grant us, then, pure hearts and patient,
That in all we do or say
Little souls our deeds may copy,
And be never led astray;
Little feet our steps may follow
In a safe and narrow way.
4 When our growing sons and daughters
Look on life with eager eyes,
Grant us then a deeper insight
And new powers of sacrifice,
Hope to trust them, faith to guide them,
Love that nothing good denies.
5 May we keep our holy calling
Stainless in its fair renown.
That when all the work is over
And we lay the burden down.
Then the children Thou hast given
Still may b§ Qur joy and crown.

' ' Where sound the cries of race and clan,
Above the noise of selfish strife,
We hear Thy voice, 0 Son of Man.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
On shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
From paths where hide the lures of greed.
We catch the vision of Thy tears.
3 From tender childhood's helplessness.
From woman's grief, man's burdened toil,
From famished souls, from sorrow's stress,
Thy heart has never known recoil.
4 The cup of water given for Thee
Still holds the freshness of Thy grace;
Yet long these multitudes to see
The sweet compassion of Thy face.
5 0 Master, from the mountain side.
Make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
Among these restless throngs abide,
0 tread the city's streets again;
6 Till sons of men shall learn Thy love,
And follow where Thy feet have trod;
Till glorious from Thy heaven above.
Shall come the City of our God.

Our exiled fathers crossed the sea;
And when they trod the wintry strand,
With prayer and psalm they worshipped Thee.
2 Thou heard'st, well pleased, the song, the prayer;
Thy blessing came, and still its power
Shall onward through all ages bear
The memory of that holy hour.
3 Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God
Came with those exiles o'er the waves,
And where their pilgrim feet have trod.
The God they trusted guards their graves.

Till these eternal hills remove.

A wandering flock, and bring them all

To awe the bold, to stay the weak.

-i^ By prophets long foretold,
When all shall dwell together,
One Shepherd and one fold?
Shall every idol perish,
To moles and bats be thrown?
And every prayer be offered
To God in Christ alone?
2 Shall Jew and Gentile meeting
From many a distant shore,
Around one altar kneeling,
One common Lord adore?
Shall all that now divides us
Remove, and pass away
Like shadows of the morning
Before the blaze of day?
3 Shall all that now unites us
More sweet and lasting prove,
A closer bond of union
In a blest land of love?
Shall war be learned no longer?
Shall strife and tumult cease ?
All earth His blessed kingdom,
The Lord and Prince of Peace I
4 0 long-expected dawning
Come with thy cheering ray;
When shall the morning brighten,
The shadows flee away?
0 sweet anticipation !
It cheers the watchers on
To pray and hope and labor.
Till the dark night be gone.

1 Tj^ACII mighty power of evil
-Li How doth the Lord assail?
'Gainst world and flesh and devil
How doth the Lord prevail ?
How doth the Strength supernal
Come down into the fight?
How dost Thou, King eternal,
Win victory for the right?
2 Some mighty man Thou fillest
With holy hate of wrong;
Some tender soul Thou thrillest
With yearnings sweet and strong:
This woe he must diminish,
This wrong he must o'erthrow,
This warfare he must finish,
This evil power lay low.
3 The strength by Thee conferred
To others he imparts;
The fire within him stirred
Doth kindle other hearts:
By glowing souls attended
He rushes on the foe;
The right is well defended,
The evil power laid low.
4 That army, Lord, Thou leadest,
That warfare Thou dost share;
That victory Thou speedest.
The Lord of hosts is there.
Then send the Spirit fervent.
The fire that never fails;
To lighten each true servant,
Until Thy cause prevails.

Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free,
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.
He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth;
And love, joy, hope, like flowers.
Spring in His path to birth;
Before Him on the mountains
Shall peace, the herald, go;
And righteousness in fountains
From hill to valley flow.
2 He comes with succor speedy
To those who suff"er wrong;
To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing,
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying,
Were precious in His sight.
O'er every foe victorious,
He on His throne shall rest,
From age to age more glorious,
All blessing and all-blest;
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove;
His name shall stand for ever, —
That name to us is love.

1 TESUS shall reign where'er the sun
^ Does his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
2 For Him shall endless prayer be made,
And praises throng to crown His head;
His name, like sweet perfume, shall rise
With every morning sacrifice;
3 People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on His name.
4 Blessings abound where'er He reigns;
The prisoner leaps to lose his chains,
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.
5 Let every creature rise and bring
Peculiar honors to our King,
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud Amen!

Too long a dream, whose laws are love,
Whose ways arc brotherhood.
And where the sun that shineth is

3 0 shame to us who rest content
While lust and greed for gain
In street and shop and tenement
Wring gold from human pain.
And bitter lips in blind despair
Cry — "Christ hath died in vain!"
2 Hark, how from men whose lives are held
More cheap than merchandise.
From women struggling sore for bread.
From little children's cries.
There swells the sobbing human plaint
That bids thy walls arise !
Give us, 0 God, the strength to build
The City that hath stood
Too long a dream, whose laws are love,
Whose ways are brotherhood.
And where the sun that shineth is
God's grace for human good.
Already in the mind of God
That City riseth fair,—
Lo, how its splendor challenges
The souls that greatly dare, —
Yea, bids us seize the whole of life
• And build its glory there!

The guileless in their way,
Who keep the ranks of battle.
Who mean the things they say:
And none shall there be jealous.
And none shall there contend;
Fraud, clamor, guile — what say I ?
All ill, all ill shall end.

Shall then be seen and known.
And they that know and see Him
Shall have Him for their own;

U With milk and honey blest,
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice opprest;
I know not, 0 I know not,
What social joys are there,
What radiancy of glory,
What light beyond compare.
2 They stand, those halls of Zion,
Conjnbilant with song.
And bright with many an angel,
And all the martyr throng:
The Prince is ever in them;
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen.
3 There is the throne of David;
And there, from care released,
The song of them that triumph.
The siiout of them that feast;
And they, who with their Leader
Have conquered in the fight,
For ever and for ever
Are clad in robes of white.

Shall I e'er see thy face?

Shall T e'er win thy grace?

Je - ru - sa - lem, my
JERUSALEM, my happy home,
When shall I come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end?
The joys when shall I see?
O happy harbor of the saints!
0 sweet and pleasant soil!
In thee no sorrow may be found,
No grief, no care, no toil.
2 No dampish mist is seen in thee,
No cold, nor darksome night;
There every soul shines as the sun;
There God Himself gives light;
There lust and lucre cannot dwell;
There envy bears no sway;
There is no hunger, heat, nor cold,
But pleasure every way.
3 Thy gardens and thy gallant walks
Continually are green;
There grow such sweet and ])leasant flowers
As nowlicrc else are seen;
Quite through the streets with silver sound
The flood of life doth flow.
Upon whose banks on every side
The wood of life doth grow.
4 Thy saints are crowned with glory great,
They see God fece to face;
They triumph still, they still rejoice;
Most hajipy is their case;
For there they live in such delight.
Such pleasure and such play,
As that to them a thousand years
Doth seem as yesterday.
5 There Magdalene hath left her moan,
And cheerfully doth sing
With blessed saints, whose harmony
In every street doth ring.
Ah, my sweet homo Jerusalem,
Would (rod I were in thee!
Would God my woes were at an end
Thy joys that I might see!

1 SINFUL, sighing to be blest;
^ Bound, and longing to be free;
Weary, waiting for my rest:
God be merciful to me!
2 Goodness I have none to plead,
Sinfulness in all I see,
I can only bring my need:
God be merciful to me!
3 Broken heart and downcast eyes
Dare not lift themselves to Thee;
Yet Thou canst interpret sighs:
God be merciful to me!
4 From this sinful heart of mine
To Thy bosom I would flee;
I am not my own, but Thine:
God be merciful to me!

2 Sinful thoughts and words unloving
Rise against us one by one;
Acts unworthy, deeds unthinking.
Good that we have left undone;
3 Hearts that far from Thee were straying,
While in prayer we bowed the knee;
Lips that, while Thy praises sounding,
Lifted not the soul to Thee;
4 Precious moments idly wasted.
Precious hours in folly spent;
Christian vow and fight unheeded;
Scarce a thought to wisdom lent.
5 Lord, Thy mercy still entreating.
We with shame our sins would own;
From henceforth, the time redeeming.
May we live to Thee alone.

Grace to cover all my sin ;
Let the healing streams abound;
Make and keep me pure within.

Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish:
Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal.
2 Joy of the comfortless. Light of the straying,
Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure!
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying,
"Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot cure."
3 Here see the Bread of life; see waters flowing
Forth from the throne of God, pure from above:
Come to the feast prepared; come, ever knowing
Earth has no sorrows but heaven can remove.

We beseech Thee, hear us.

Into paths of sin have strayed,
And repentance have delayed:
We beseech Thee, hear us.

Guilty, seek Thy mercy sure,
Evil, long to be made pure:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
4 Blind, we pray that we may see.
Bound, we pray to be made free.

We beseech Thee, hear us.
5 Love that caused us first to be,
Love that bled upon the tree.
Love that draws us lovingly:

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

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

1 T BOW my forehead to the dust,
i I veil mine eyes for shame,
And urge, in trembhng self-distrust,
A prayer without a claim ;
I see the wrong that round me lies,
I feel the guilt within,
I hear, with groan and travail-cries,
The world confess its sin ;
2 Yet, in the maddening maze of things.
And tossed by storm and flood.
To one fixed trust my spirit clings;
I know that God is good.
I dimly guess from blessings known.
Of greater out of sight,
And with the chastened Psalmist own,
His judgments too are right.
3 I know not what the future hath
Of marvel or surprise,
Assured alone that life and death
His mercy underlies;
I know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air;
I only know I cannot drift
Beyond His love and care.
4 No offering of my own I have.
Nor works my faith to prove;
I can but give the gifts He gave.
And plead His love for love:
And Thou, O Lord, by whom are seen
Tliy creatures as they be.
Forgive me if too close I lean
My human heart on Thee.

To set our footsteps in the homeward way.

The subtle darkness that we love so well.
Which shrouds the path of wisdom from our feet,
And lulls our spirits with its baneful spell.
3 Lighten our darkness when we bow the knee
To all the gods we ignorantly make
And worship, dreaming that we worship Thee,
Till clearer light our slumbering souls awake.

And in the midnight lay us down to die;
We trust to find Thee when the night is past.

Chart and compass came from Thee:
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me.
2 As a mother stills her child,
Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
Boisterous waves obej^ Thy will
When Thou sayest to them, "Be still."
Wondrous Sovereign of the sea,
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me.
3 When at last I near the shore.
And the fearful breakers roar
'Twixt me and the peaceful rest,
Then, while leaning on Thy breast.
May I hear Thee say to me,
"Fear not, I will pilot thee."

al- waj's peace, O
1 TMMORTAL Love, within whose righteous will
-*- Is always peace,
O pity lue, storm-tossed on waves of ill;
Let passion cease;
Come down in power within my heart to reign,
For I am weak, and striving has been vain.
2 The days are gone, when far and wide my will
Drove me astray;
And now I fain would climb the arduous hill.
That narrow way.
Which leads through mists and rocks to Thine abode;
Toiling for man, and Thee, Almighty God.
3 Whate'er of pain Thy loving hand allot
I gladly bear;
Only, 0 Lord, let peace be not forgot,
Nor yet Thy care,
Freedom from storms, and wild desires within,
Peace from the fierce oppression of my sin,
4 So may I, far away, when evening falls
On life and love,
Arrive at last the holy, happy halls,
With Thee above;
Wounded yet healed, sin-laden yet forgiven,
And sure that goodness is my only heaven.

Among my blessings be,
I'd have my spirit filled the more
With grateful love to Thee,
More careful not to serve Thee much

There are no bonds for me;

That makes Thy children free;

It is the Lord, who rises
With healing in His wings:
When comforts are declining,
He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining,
To cheer it after rain.
"It can bring with it nothing
But He will bear us through;
Who gives the lilies clothing
Will clothe His people too:
Beneath the spreading heavens
No creature but is fed;
And He who feeds the ravens
Will give His children bread. ' '
2 In holy contemplation
We sweetly then pursue
The theme of God's salvation,
And find it ever new;
Set free from present sorrow,
We cheerfully can say: —
"E'en let the unknown morrow
Bring with it what it may,
4 Though vine nor fig-tree neither
Their wonted fruit shall bear.
Though all the field should wither,
Nor flocks nor herds be there;
Yet, God the same abiding,
His praise shall tune my voice.
For, while in Him confiding,
I cannot but rejoice.

1 f^ OD moves in a mj'sterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in tlie sea,
And rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs,
And works His sovereign will.
3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take:
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense.
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
5 His purposes will ripen fast.
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
6 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.

-*- Thou art the fountain whence our healing flows;
Dark though the night, joy cometh with the morrow;
Safely they rest who on Thy love repose.
2 When fond hopes fail and skies are dark before us,
When the vain cares that vex our lives increase,
Comes with its calm the thought that Thou art o'er us,
And we grow quiet, folded in Thy peace.
3 Naught shall affright us on Thy goodness leaning;
Low in the heart faith singeth still her song;
Chastened by pain we learn life's deeper meaning;
And in our weakness Thou dost make us strong.
4 Patient, 0 heart, though heavy be thy sorrows;
Be not cast down, disquieted in vain;
Yet shalt thou praise Him, when these darkened furrows.
Where now He plougheth, wave with golden grain.

1 T ORD, my weak thought in vain would climb
To search the starry vault profound;
In vain would wing her flight sublime
To find creation's utmost bound.
2 But weaker j'^et that thought must prove
To search Thy great eternal plan,
Thy sovereign counsels, born of love
Long ages ere the world began.
3 When my dim reason would demand
Why that, or this. Thou dost ordain.
By some vast deep I seem to stand.
Whose secrets I must ask in vain.
4 When doubts disturb my troubled breast,
And all is dark as night to me.
Here, as on solid rock, I rest, —
That so it seemeth good to Thee.
5 Be this my joy, that evermore
Thou rulest all things at Thy will;
Thy sovereign wisdom I adore.
And calmly, sweetly, trust Thee still.

How kind His precepts are!
Come, cast your burdens on the Lord,
And trust His constant care.
2 While Providence supports,
Let saints securely dwell;
That hand, which bears all nature up,
Shall guide His children well.
3 Why should this anxious load
Press down your weary mind?
Haste to your heavenly Father's throne.
And sweet refreshment find.
4 His goodness stands approved,
Down to the present day;
I'll drop my burden at His feet.
And bear a song away.

Triumphant over pain,
Who patient bears his cross below,
He follows in His train.
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 tollows in his train ?
A glorious band, the chosen few
On whom the Spirit came.
Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew,
And mocked the cross and flame;
They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
The lion's gory mane.
They bowed their necks the death to feel:
Who follows in their train?
A noble army, men and boys.
The matron and the maid,
Around the Saviour's throne rejoice,
In robes of light arraj'ed;
They climbed the steep ascent of heaven
Through peril, toil and pain:
0 God, to us may grace be given
To follow in their train I

1 T IFT up your heads, ye gates of brass,

Aud let the King of glory pass;
The cross is in the field :
That banner, brighter than the star
That leads the train of night.
Shines on their march, and guides from far
His servants to the fight.
2 A holy war those servants wage;
Mysteriously at strife.
The powers of heaven and hell engage
For more than death or life.
Ye armies of the living God,
His sacramental host.
Where hallowed footsteps never trod
Take your appointed post.
3 Though few and small and weak your bands,
Strong in your Captain's strength
Go to the conquest of all lands;
All must be His at length:
Those spoils at His victorious feet
You shall rejoice to lay.
And lay yourselves, as trophies meet,
In His great judgment-day.
4 0 fear not, faint not, halt not now;
Quit you like men, be sti'ong!
To Christ shall all the nations bow.
And sing with you this song:
' 'Uplifted are the gates of brass.
The bars of iron yield;
Behold the King of glory pass;
The cross hath won the field."

1 CHRISTIAN, dost thou see them
\J On tlie holy ground,
How the hosts of darkness
Compass thee around?
Christian, up and smite them
Counting gain but loss;
Smite them by the merit
Of the holy cross.
2 Christian, dost thou feel them,
How they work within.
Striving, tempting, luring,
Goading into sin?
Christian, never tremble.
Never be downcast.
Smite them, Christ is with thee,
Thou ohalt win at last.
Greek, vii C. tr. John M.
3 Christian, dost thou hear them,
How they speak thee fair?
"Always fast and vigil?
Always watch and prayer?"
Christian, answer boldly,
"While I breathe, I pray,"
Peace shall follow battle.
Night shall end in day.
4 "Well I know thy trouble,
0 My servant true;
Thou art very weary, —
1 was weary too;
But that toil shall make thee
Some day all Mine own, —
And the end of sorrow
Shall be near My throne."

Darkness, and cold unrest.
Let me no more my comfort draw
From my frail hold of Tliee,
In this %lone rejoice with awe,

3 Out of that weak, unquiet drift
That comes but to depart.
To that pure heaven my spirit lift
Where Thou unchanging art;
Lay hold of me with Thy strong grasp.
Let Thy almighty arm
In its embrace my weakness clasp.
And I shall fear no harm.
4 Thy purpose of eternal good
Let me but surely know;
On this I'll lean— let changing mood
And feeling come or go —
Glad when Thy sunshine fills my soul,
Not lorn when clouds o'ercast.
Since Thou within Thy sure control
Of love dost hold me fast.

He hides Himself so wondrouslj'.
As though there were no God;
He is least seen when all the powers

2 Ah, God is other than we think;
His ways are far above.
Far beyond reason's height, and reached
Only by childlike love.
Workman of God, 0 lose not heart,
But learn what God is like;
And in the darkest battlefield
Thou shalt know where to strike.
3 Thrice blest is he to whom is given
The instinct that can tell
That God is on the field when He
Is most invisible.
Blest too is he who can divine
Where real right doth lie,
And dares to take the side that seems
Wrong to man's bUndfold eye.
4 Then learn to scorn the praise of men,
And learn to lose with God;
For Jesus won the world through shame,
And beckons thee His road:
For right is right, since God is God,
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty.
To falter would be sin.

So full of splendor and of joy.
Beauty and light;
So maviy glorioiis things are here,
Noble and right.
2 I thank Thee, too, that Thou hast made
Joy to abound.
So many gentle thoughts and deeds
Circling us round.
That in the darkest spot of earth
Some love is found.
3 I thank Thee more that all our joy
Is touched with pain.
That shadows fall on brightest hours,
That thorns remain;
So that earth's bliss may be our guide,
And not our chain.
Hast given us joys, tender and true.
Yet all with wings, .
So that we see, gleaming on high,
Diviner things.
5 I thank Thee, Lord, that Thou hast kept
The best in store;
We have enough, yet not too much
To long for more:
A yearning for a deeper peace
Not known before.
6 I thank Thee, Lord, that here our souls.
Though amply blest.
Can never find, although they seek,
A perfect rest,
Nor ever shall, until they lean
On Jesus' breast.

Eye hath not beheld them,
Ear hath never heard;
Nor of these hath uttered
Thought or speech a word.
Forward, marching eastward
Where the heaven is bright,
Till the veil be lifted.
Till our faith be sight!

Rise the city towers,
Where our God abideth;
That fair home is ours:
Flash the streets with jasper,

Surer yet and surer

con -di- tion, God and heav'n are still my own.
1 TESUS, I my cross have taken,
^ All to leave, and follow Thee;
Destitute, despised, forsaken,
Thou, from hence, my all shalt be:
Perish every fond ambition,
All I've sought, or hoped, or known;
Yet how rich is my condition,
God and heaven are still my own.
2 Man may tronblc 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.
Were that joy vinmixed with Thee.
3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation.
Rise o'er sin and fear and care;
Joy to find in every station
Something still to do or bear!
Think what Spirit dwells with thee.
What a Father's smile is thine.
What a Saviour died to win thee!
Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine?
4 Haste, then, on from grace to glory.
Armed by faith, and winged by jn-ayer!
Heaven's eternal day's before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission;
Swift shall pass th.v pilgrim days;
Hope soon change to glad fruition.
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

Stepping fearless through the night.
2 One the light of God's own presence
O'er His ransomed people shed.
Chasing far the gloom and terror.
Brightening all the path we tread;
One the object of our joiirney.

Lift as from the heart of one;
One the conflict, one the peril.
One the march in God begun;
One the gladness of rejoicing
On the far eternal shore,
Where the one almightj' Father
Reigns in love for evermore.
4 Onward, therefore, pilgrim brothers.
Onward with the cross our aid!
Bear its shame and fight its battle,
Till we rest beneath its shade!

Soon the rending of the tomb;
Then the scattering of the shadows.
And the end of toil and gloom.

Life from the dead is in that word,
'Tis immortaUty.
Here iu the body pent,
Absent from Him I roam.
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home.
2 My Father's house on high,
Home of my soul, how near.
At times, to faith's foreseeing eye
Th.y golden gates a]>pear!
Ah. then my si)irit faints
To reach the land I love,
The bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above.
3 I hear at morn and even.
At noon and midnight hour,
The choral harmonies of heaven.
Earth's Babel-tongues o'erpower.
Then, then I feel that He,
Eemembered or forgot,
The Lord, is never far from me,
Though I perceive Him not.
' ' For ever with the Lord ! ' '
Father, if 'tis Thy will.
The promise of that faithful word,
E'en here to me fulfil.
Be Thou at my right hand.
Then can I never fliil;
Uphold Thou me and I shall stand,
Fight and I must prevail.
So when my latest breath
Shall rend the veil in twain,
By death I sliall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
Knowing as I am known,
How shall I love that word.
And oft repeat before the throne,
"For ever with the Lord!"

O'er earth's green fields and ocean's wave-beat
shore :
How sweet the truth those blessed strains are 4
telling
Of that new life when sin shall be no more!
Angeli of Jesus, angels of light.
Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night!
2 Onward we go, for still we hear them singing,
" Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come,"
And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing.
The music of the gospel leads us home.
Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing,
The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea;
And laden souls, by thousands meekly stealing,
Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee.
Rest comes at length: though life be long and
dreary,
The day must dawn and darksome night bo past;
All journeys end in welcomes to the weary,
And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at
last.
Angels, sing on, your faithful watches keeping;
Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above;
Till morning's joy shall end the night of weeping,
And life's long shadows break in cloudless love.

No gate of pearl, no branch of palm I merit,

^^ Thy joy to do the Father's will;
It is the way the Master went;
Should not the servant tread it still?
2 Go, labor on: 'tis not for naught;
Thy earthly loss is heavenly gain;
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not;
The Master praises: — what are men?
3 Go, labor on: enough while here
If He shall praise thee, if He deign
Thy willing heart to mark and cheer;
No toil for Him shall be in vain.
4 Go, labor on while it is day:
The world's dark night is hastening on;
Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth away,
It is not thus that souls are won.
5 Toil on, faint not, keep watch and pray;
Be wise the erring soul to win;
Go forth into the world's highway,
Compel the wanderer to come in.
6 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice;
For toil comes rest, for exile home;
Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice.
The midnight peal, "Behold I come."

All that we have is Thine a - lone, A trnst, O Lord, from Thee. A - men.
1 W/^E give Thee but Thine own,
Whate'er the gift may be:
All that we have is Thine alone,
A trust, 0 Lord, from Thee.
2 IMay we Thy bounties thus
As stewards true receive.
And gladly, as Thou blessest us,
To Thee our first-fruits give.
3 To comfort and to bless.
To find a balm for woe.
To tend the lone and fiitherless,
Is angels' work below.
4 The captive to release.
To God the lost to bring.
To teach the way of life and peace, —
It is a Christ-like thing.
5 And we believe Thy word.
Though dim our faith may be,
Whate'er for Thine we do, 0 Lord,
We do it unto Thee.

When earthly thoughts awhile depart
And leave the mounting spirit free.

O'er all the realms of earth should flow,
A shoreless stream, a flood divine,
No lines of race or hue should know; —
3 Not bound by party, caste, or creed.

For whoso of our love hath need,
To him we owe the dues of love.

Of Thy divine beneficence,
And freely as Thou fill'st our cup
Freely may we to all dispense.

-^ Fall as fresh as morning dew,
Every morning let us pay
Tribute with the early day;
For Thy mercies, Lord, are sure;
Thy compassion doth endure.
Still the greatness of Thy love
Daily doth our sins remove;
Daily, far as east from west.
Lifts the burden from the breast;
Gives unbought to those who pray
Strength to stand in evil day.
3 Let our prayers each morn prevail,
That these gifts may never fail;
And, as we confess the sin
And the tempter's power within,
Every morning, for the strife,
Feed us with the bread of life.
4 As the morning light returns.
As the sun with splendor burns,
Teach us still to turn to Thee,
Ever-blessed Trinity,
With our hands our hearts to raise.
In unfailing prayer and praise.

And in part discern our foe;
Well for us, before Thine eyes

Turn not from us, while we plead

Live each moment on Thy grace,
All our selves to Thee consign, ;
Fold up all our wills in Thine,
Think and speak and do and be,
Simply that which pleases Thee.

For blessings on the coming day,

Deep thanks for mercies gone before.

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

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

Tlien in our mortal hour will be no gloom,

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

In that last sunset, wlien the stars shall fill,

The hours of fear may be:
O Jesus, keep me in Thy sight,
And guard me through the coming night.
Be Thou my soul's Preserver,
0 God, for Thou dost knovr
How many are the perils
Through which I have to go:
Lover of men, 0 hear my call,
And guard and save me from them all !

1 rriHE day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended,
The darkness falls at Thy behest;
To Thee our morning hymns ascended,
Thy praise shall hallow now our rest.
2 We thank Thee that Thy Church unsleeping,
While earth rolls onward into light,
Through all the world her watch is keeping,
And rests not now by day or night.
3 As o'er each continent and island
The dawn leads on another day,
The voice of prayer is never silent.
Nor dies the strain of praise awaj'.
4 The sun, that bids us rest, is waking
Our brethren 'neath the western sky.
And hour by hour fresh lips are making
Thy wondrous doings heard on high.
5 So be it. Lord; Thy throne shall never,
Like earth's proud empires, pass away;
But stand and rule and grow for ever.
Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway.

Shade creeps o'er wild and wood.
Let us, as night is falling, ,
On God, our Maker, calling,
Give thanks to Him, the Giver good.
2 Now all the heavenly splendor
Breaks forth in starlight tender
From myriad worlds unknown;
And man, Thy marvel seeing,
Forgets his selfish being
For joy of beauty not his own.
3 Ilis care he drowneth yonder
Lost in th' abyss of wonder,
To heaven his soul doth steal.
This life he disesteemeth.
The day it is that dreameth.
That doth from truth his vision seal.
4 Awhile his mortal blindness
May miss God's lovingkindness,
And grope in faithless strife;
But when life's day is over
Shall death's fair night discover
Tlie fields of everlasting life.

The heavenly manna falls;
To holy convocations
The silver trumpet calls,
Where gospel-light is glowing
With pure and radiant beams,
And living water flowing
With soul refreshing streams.

From earth to things above.

We reach the rest remaining

Breaks o'er the earth asiain,
As some sweet summer morning
After a night of pain ;
It comes as cooling showers
To some exhausted land,
As shade of clustered palm-trees
' Mid weary wastes of sand.
Lord, we would bring for oflPering,
Though marred with earthly soil,
A week of earnest labor,
Of steady, faithful toil;
Fair fruits of self-denial.
Of strong, deep love to Thee,
Fostered by Thine own Spirit
In our humility.
3 And we would bring our burden
Of sinful thought and deed,
In Thy pure presence kneeling.
From bondage to be freed;
Our hearts' most bitter sorrow
For all Thy work undone, —
So many talents wasted.
So few bright laurels won,
4 0 Lord, forgive and strengthen:
]May we for evermore
LTpon Thy peaceful Sabbath
Thy blessed name adore;
Until in joy and gladness
We reach that home at last.
Where life's short week of sorrow
And sin and strife is past.

^ From common labor freed,
We are come to sing and pray
With felt returning need:
Come to seek our former rest,
Come to urge our old request.
2 Show us, Lord, the goal of life,
And give us heart to run;
Breathe the peace that follows strife,
Lest future work we shun:
Hearts that hasty time has grieved
Are by Sabbath calm relieved.
3 We would sing as in the rays
Of mercy ever bright.
Which endureth to Thy praise,
For ever Thy delight, —
Sing for happiness we know,
Or that we may happy grow.
4 We would pray as those who stand
Their truest Friend beside,
Whom He takes as by the hand
Unto their God to guide;
By His power and for His sake
Fully us Thy children make.

Happy is my day of rest.
2 Fount of all our joy and peace,
To Thy living waters lead me;
Thou from earth my soul release.
And with grace and mercy feed me;
Bless Thy word, that it may prove
Rich in fruits that Thou -dost love.
Kindle Thou the sacrifice
That upon my lips is lying,
Clear the shadows from my ej-es,
That, from every error flying,
No strange fire may in me glow
That Thine altar doth not know.
Let me, with my heart to-day,
Holy, holy, holy, singing,
Rapt awhile from earth away,
All my soul to Thee upspringing,
Have a foretaste inly given
How they worship Thee in heaven.
Hence all care, all vanity!
For the day to God is holy;
Come, Thou glorious Majesty,
Deign to fill this temple lowly;
Naught to-day my soul shall move,
Simply resting in Thy love.

Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in His courts to-day;
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.
2 While we pray for pardoning grace,
Through the dear Redeemer' s name.
Show Thy reconciled face;
Take away our sin and shame;
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee.
3 Here we come Thy name to praise,
Let us feel Thy presence near;
May Thy glory meet our eyes,
While we in Thy house appear:
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast.
4 May Thy gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
May the fruits of grace abound.
Bring relief for all complaints:
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove
Till we join the Church above.

To those in trouble Thou wert nigh.
Not one has sought Thy face in vain.

And enjoy it ever there.

Till they reach Thy throne at length;
At Thy feet adoring fall,

1 A LL people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell,
Come J'e before Him and rejoice.
2 The Lord j'C know is God indeed,
Without our aid He did us make;
We are His folk, He doth us feed,
And for His sheep He doth us take.
3 0 enter then His gates with praise.
Approach with joy His courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless His name always,
For it is seemly so to do.
4 For why? the Lord our God is good,
His mercy is for ever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood.
And shall from age to age endure.

To rest awhile with Thee.
2 Yet these are not the only walls
Wherein Thou mayst be sought;
On homeliest work Thy blessing falls
In truth and patience wrought.
3 Thine is the loom, the forge, the mart,
The wealth of land and sea,
The worlds of science and of art,
Revealed and ruled by Thee.
4 Then let us prove our heavenly birth
In all we do and know.
And claim the kingdom of the earth
For Thee, and not Thy foe.

As Thou wouldst have it done.
And prayer, by Thee inspired and taught.

Thy love has kept us in Thy way.

For quiet hours of thought and prayer,
For moments when we seemed to feel

1 IVrOW I resolve with all my heart,
-^^ With all my powers, to serve the Lord;
Nor from His precepts e'er depart
Whose service is a rich reward.
2 0 be His service all my joy;
Around let my example shine,
Till others love the blest employ,
And join in labors so divine.
3 Be this the purpose of my soul,
My solemn, my determined choice,
To yield to His supreme control.
And in His kind commands rejoice.
4 0 may I never faint nor tire.
Nor wandering leave His sacred ways:
Great God, accept my soul's desire,
And give me strength to live Thy praise.

When they kneel before Thee here,
Feeling Thee, their Father, near;
These Thy children, Lord, defend;
To their help Thy Spirit send.
2 When the world' s sharp strife is nigh,
When they hear the battle-cry,
When they rush into the fight,
Knowing not temptation's might;
These Thy children, Lord, defend;
To their zeal Thy wisdom lend.
3 When their hearts are lifted high
With success or victory,
When they feel the conqueror's pride;
Lest they grow self-satisfied,
These Thy children, Lord, defend;
Teach their souls to Thee to bend.
4 When the vows that they have made,
When the prayers that they have prayed,
Shall be fading from their hearts;
When their first warm faith departs;
These Thy children, Lord, defend;
Keep them faithful to the end.
5 Through life's conflict guard us all.
Or if wounded some should fall
Ere the victory be won.
For the sake of Christ, Thy Son,
These Thy children. Lord, defend;
And in death Thy comfort lend.

While we seek men's lore;

And our deeper knowledge
Holier zeal impart.

Should our hearts gi'ow empty.
Faithless, undevout.
Lord, in mercy lead us
To our springs in Thee,
Where are healing waters
Plentiful and free.
i Should Thy face be clouded
To our spirits' sight.
Speak through human kindness,
Shine through nature's light.
In the face of loved ones,
In the ties of home —
Only, gracious Father,
To Thy children come.
5 Save us. Lord, from seeking
Earth's unhallowed goals;
May our lifelong passion
Be the love of souls;
Let us live and labor,

Through the grace of Jesus,
By the Spirit's might.

And counting all the cost,
Doth consecrate his generous youth, —

Ne'er counts the battle lost.

He joins the faithful host.

The cause despised loves most;
And shuns not pain or shame or loss, —
He joins the martyr host.

V-/ Mysterious depth and height,
To Thee the world beholden,
Looks up for life and light:
O Love divine and gentle,
The blesser and the blest,
Beneath whose care parental
The world lies dowu to rest,
2 The fields of earth adore Thee,
The forests sing Thy jiraise.
All living things before Thee
Their holiest anthems raise;
Thou art the joy of aladness,
The life of 'life Thou art,
The dew of gentle sadness
That droppeth on the heart.
With the omission of the 4tli verse the hymn is adapted for general use.
0 Love divine and tender
That through our homes doth move
Veiled in the softened splendor
Of holy household love,
A throne without Thy blessing
Were labor without rest.
And cottages possessing
Thy blessedness are blest.
God bless these hands united,
God bless these hearts made one!
Unsevered and unblighted
May they through life go on;
Here in earth's home preparing
For the bright home above,
And there for ever sharing
Its joy where God is love.

il
From which none ever wakes to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.
2 Asleep in Jesus! 0 how sweet
To be for such a slumber meet;
With holy confidence to sing
That death hath lost the venomed sting.
3 Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest,
Whose waking is supremely blest;
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour
That manifests the Saviour's power.
4 Asleep in Jesus! far from thee
Thy kindred and their graves may be;
But thine is still a blessed sleep.
From which none ever wakes to weep.

3 Thou art gone to the grave and, its mansion forsaking,
Perchance thy weak sijirit in fear lingered long;

While in Thy temple we appear,
Whose goodness crowns the circling year.
2 Wide as the wheels of nature roll,
Thy hand supports the steady pole;
The sun is taught by Thee to rise.
And darkness when to veil the skies.
3 The flowery spring at Thy command
Embalms the air and paints the land;
The summer rays with vigor shine
To raise the corn and cheer the vine
4 Thy hand in autumn richly pours
Through all our coasts redundant stores;
And winters, softened by Thy care,
No more a face of horror wear.
5 Seasons and months and weeks and days
Demand successive songs of praise;
Still be the cheerful homage paid
With opening light and evening shade.
6 Here in Thy house shall incense rise,
As circling Sabbaths bless our eyes;
Still will we make Thy mercies known
Around Thy board and round our own.

Hasted through the former year,
Many souls their race have run,
Never more to meet us here:
Fixed in an eternal state,

We a little longer wait,
But how little none can know.
2 As the winged arrow flies
Speedily the mark to find,
As the lightning from the skies
Darts, and leaves no trace behind —
Swiftly thus our fleeting days
Bear us down life's rapid stream;
Upward, Lord, our spirits raise.
All below is but a dream.
3 Thanks for mercies past receive;
Pardon of our sins renew;
Teach ixs henceforth how to live
With eternity in view;
Bless Thy word to young and old;
Fill us with a Saviour's love;
And when life's short tale is told,
May we dwell with Thee above.

We seek Thee, everlasting Light,
In esolemn worship meeting;
And as the year's hist hours go by
We Hft to Thee our earnest cry,
Once more Thy love entreating.
2 Before the cross, subdued we bow,
To Thee our prayers addressing;
Recounting all Thy mercies now.
And all our sins confessing;
Beseeching Thee, this coming year.
To hold us in Thy faith and fear.
And crown us with Thy blessing.
3 In many an hour, when fear and dread,
Like evil spells have bound us,
And clouds were gathering overhead,
Thy providence hath found us;
In many a night when waves ran high,
Thy gracious presence drawing nigh
Hath made all calm around us.
4 And, while we kneel, we lift our eyes
To dear ones gone before us;
Safe housed with Thee in paradise,
Their spirits hovering o'er us;
And beg of Thee, when life is jDast,
To re-unite us all at last.
And to our lost restore us.
5 Then, 0 great God, in years to come,
Whatever fate betide us,
Right onward through our journey home
Be Thou at hand to guide us.
Nor leave us till, at close of life,
Safe from all perils, toil and strife,
Heaven shall enfold and hide us.

1 Q[UMMER suns are glowing
^ Over land and sea;
Happy light is flowing,
Bountiful and free;
Everything rejoices
In the mellow raj's;
All earth's thousand voices
Swell the psalm of praise.
2 God's free mercy streameth
Over all the world,
And His banner gleameth.
Everywhere unfurled.
Broad and deep and glorious,
As the heaven above,
Shines in might victorious
His eternal love.
Lord, upon our blindness
Thy pure radiance pour;
For Thy loving-kindness
Make us love Thee more.
And when clouds are drifting,
Dark across our sky.
Then, the veil uplifting.
Father, be Thou nigh.
We Avill never doubt Thee.
Though Thou veil Thy light;
Life is dark without Thee,
Death with Thee is bright.
Light of light, shine o' er us
On our pilgrim wa.y;
Go Thou still before us
To the endless day.

All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin;
God, our Maker, doth provide
For our wants to be supplied:
Come to God's own temple, come,

All the world is God's own field,
Fruit unto His praise to yield;
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unto joy or sorrow grown:
First the blade, and then the ear,
Then the full corn shall appear: —
Lord of harvest, grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.

3 For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take His harvest home;
From His field shall in that day
All offences purge away;
Give His angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store
In His garner evermore.
4 Even so. Lord, quickly come
To Thy final harvest-home;
Gather Thou Thy people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin,
There for ever purified,
In Thy presence to abide:
Come, with all Thine angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest-home!

Per all that the bountiful Giver
Hath given to gladden our days,
For grasses of upland and lowland,
For fruits of the garden and field,
For gold which the mine and the furrow
To delver and husbandman yield.
2 And thanks for the harvest of beauty,
For that which the hands cannot hold, -
The harvest eyes only can gather.
And only our hearts can enfold.
We reap it on mountain and moorland;
We glean it from meadow and lea;
We garner it in from the cloudland;
We bind it in sheaves from the sea.
3 But the song it goes deeper and higher;
There are harvests that eye cannot see;
They ripen on mountains of duty.
Are reaped by the brave and the free.
0 Thou, who art Lord of the harvest.
The Giver who gladdens our days,
Our hearts are for ever repeating
Thanksgiving and honor and praise.

1 TN our day of thanksgiving one psalm let us offer
-■- For the saints who before us have found their reward;
When the shadow of death fell tipon them, we sorrowed,
But now we rejoice that they rest in the Lord.
2 In the morning of life, and at noon, and at even,
He called them away from our w^orship below;
But not till His mercy and tender compassion
Had girt them with grace for the way they should go.
3 These stones that have echoed their praises are holy,
And dear is the ground where their feet have once trod;
Yet here they confessed they were strangers and pilgrims,
And still they were seeking the city of God.
4 Sing praise, then, for all who here sought and here found Him,
Whose journey is ended, whose perils are past;
They believed in the Light; and its glory is round them,
Where the clouds of earth's sorrow are lifted at last.

2 He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter Avas a stable,
And His cradle was a stall :
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
For He is our childhood's Pattern,
Day by day like us He grew,
He was little, weak and helpless,
Tears and smiles like us He knew,
And He feeleth for our sadness.
And He shareth in our gladness.
And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love;
For that Child .so dear and gentle
Ls our Lord in heaven above,
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone.
3 i\.nd, through all His wondrous childhood, 6 Not in that poor lowly stable.
He would honor and obey. With the oxen standing by.
Love and watch the lowly maiden We shall see Him, but in heaven,
In whose gentle arms He lay: Set at God's right hand on high;
Christian children all must be When like stars His children crowned
Mild, obedient, good as He. All in white shall wait around.

T V To Zion Jesus came,
The cliildren all stood singing
Hosanna to His name;
Nor did their zeal offend Him,
But, as He rode along,
He let them still attend Him,
And smiled to hear their song.
2 And, since the Lord retaineth
His love for children still,
Though now as King He reigneth
On Ziou's heavenly hill,
We'll flock around Plis banner
Who sits upon the throne.
And cry aloud, "Hosanna
To David's royal Son! "
3 For, should we fail proclaiming
Our great Redeemer's pa-aise,
The stones, our silence shaming.
Would their hosannas raise.
But shall we only render
The tribute of our words ?
No ! while our hearts are tender,
They too shall be the Lord's.

-*- Without a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified,
Who died to save us all.
2 We may not know, we cannot tell,
What pains He had to bear;
But we believe it was for us
He hung and suffered there.
3 He died that we might be forgiven.
He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to heaven.
Saved by His precious blood.
4 There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin;
He only could unlock the gate
Of heaven and let us in.
5 0 dearly, dearly has He loved,
And we must love Him too,
And trust in His redeeming blood,
And try His works to do.

Hallelujah!
Then shall we sing
To God our King,
Hallelujah!

Spread all the world around;
All then with one accord
Shall lift the jovful sound.
Hallelujah!
All then shall sing
To God their King,
Hallelujah!

1 T THINK M'hen I read that sweet story of old,
J- When Jesus was here among men,
How He called little children as lambs to His fold,
I should like to have been with them then.
2 I wish that His hands had been jilaced on my head,
That His arm had been thrown around me,
And that I might have seen His kind look when He said,
"Let the little ones come unto Me."
3 Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go.
And ask for a share in His love;
And if I now earnestly seek Him below,
I shall see Him and hear Him above,
4 In that beautiful place He is gone to prepare
For all who are washed and forgiven;
And many dear children are gathering there,
For of such is the kingdom of heaven.
5 But thousands and thousands who wander and fall
Never heard of that heavenly home;
I should like them to know there is room for them all,
And that Jesus has bid them to come.
6 I long for the joy of that glorious time,
The sweetest and brightest and best,
When the dear little; children of every clime
Shall crowd to His arms and be blest.

Of all our golden dreams.
I love to tell the story,.
It did so much for me;
And that is just the reason
I tell it now to thee.
3 I love to tell the story;
'Tis pleasant to repeat
What seems, each time I tell it,
jMore wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the story.
For some have never heard
The message of salvation
From God's own holy word.
4 I love to tell the story;
For those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting
To hear it, like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory,
I sing the new, new song,
'Twill be the old, old story
That I have loved so long.

To heaven I'll follow Jesus

xV Where thoughts and feeUngs dwell;
And very hard I find the task
Of governing it well;
For passion tempts and troubles me,
A wayward will misleads.
And selfishness its shadow casts
On all my will and deeds.
2 How can I learn to rule myself,
To be the child I should,
Honest and brave, nor ever tire
Of trying to be good?
How can I keep a sunny soul
To shine along life' s way?
How can I tune my little heart
To sweetly sing all day?
3 Dear Father, help me with the love
That casteth out my fear;
Teach me to lean on Thee, and feel
That Thou art very near.
That no temptation is unseen.
No childish grief too small,
Since Thou, with patience infinite,
Dost soothe and comfort all.
4 I do not ask for any crown
But that which all may win;
Nor try to conquer any world
Except the one within.
Be Thou my Guide until I find,
Led by a tender hand.
Thy happy kingdom in myself.
And dare to take command.

]JiY morning the red sun
lises warm and bright;
But the evening cometh on,
And the dark, cold night:
There's a bright land far away,
Where 'tis never-ending day.
Every spring the sweet young flowers
Open bright and gay,
Till the chilly autumn hours
Wither them away:
There's a land we have not seen,
Where the trees are always green.
3 Little birds sing songs of praise
All the summer long;
But in colder, shorter days
They forget their song:
There's a place where angels sing
Ceaseless praises to their King.
4 Christ our Lord is ever near
Those who follow Him;
But we cannot see Him here.
For our ej^es are dim:
There is a most happy place.
Where men always see His face.
Who shall go to that fair land?
All who love the right;
Holy children there shall stand
In their robes of white;
For that heaven, so bright and blest,
Is our everlasting rest.

According to the English Revised Version, arranged for
iMornins anb Cbenins ®(iors(j)ip
Together with
portions; from tfje Jropfjetsi
for 3irtient anb TLmt
NOTE
As far as the English version and the exigencies of Responsive Read-
ing permit, the Psalter and the Selections from the Prophets are ar-
ranged in accordance with the principle of Hebrew poetry, the minis-
ter taking one member of the parallelism and the people taking the other.
The slight and infrequent deviations that are made from the text of the
English Revision follow either its marginal readings or the American Re-
vision or the Ancient Versions.
The Psalter is arranged in accordance with the days of the month to
aid in securing familiarity with all the Psalms that lend themselves to
public worship. The Selections from the Prophets are intended to aid
those churches which hold Lenten services and which emphasize the
Christmas Season.
GENERAL PRAYERS
TO BE SAID IN UNISON
THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread*
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into tempta-
tion, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the
glory, for ever. AMEN.
A GENERAL CONFESSION OF SIN
Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from Thy ways
like lost sheep; we have followed too much the devices and desires of our own
hearts; we have offended against Thy holy laws; we have left undone those things
which we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not
to have done, and there is no health in us. But Thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us,
miserable offenders. Spare Thou those, O God, who confess their faults. Restore
Thou those who are penitent, according to Thy promises declared unto mankind in
Christ Jesus, our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for His sake, that we
may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of Thy holy name.
AMEN.
This confession was added by the English Reformers to the Book of Common Prayer in is 52. It
is modelled upon the confession in the order of worship in use in a congregation of I'rench Presby-
terian refugees in Glastonbury, and published by their pastor, N'alerand Pullain, in Latin in 1551;
and upon the confession in use in another congregation of exiles from the Continent worshipping in
London and published by their pastor, John a-Lasco. P>oth these ministers were followers of John
Calvin, whom Pullain had succeeded as pastor of the Church of the Strangers in Strasburg, and their
forms of worship were based upon Calvin's.
A GENERAL THANKSGIVING
Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we. Thine unworthy servants, do give Thee
most humble and hearty thanks for all Thy goodness and loving-kindness to us, and
to all men. We bless Thee for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of
this life, but above all, for Thine inestimable love in the redemption of the world by
our Lord Jesus Christ, for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. And, we
beseech Thee, give us that due sense of all Thine mercies, that our hearts may be
unfeignedly thankful, and that we may show forth Thy praise, not only with our
lips, but in our lives; by giving up ourselves to Thy service, and by walking before
Thee in holiness and righteousness all our days, through Jesus Christ our Lord, to
whom, with Thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honor and glory, world without end.
AMEN.
This prayer was written by Edward Reynolds, D.D., in 1661. Dr. Reynolds was a leading Pres-
byterian minister in London, a frec;'uent preacher before the Long Parliament, Vice-Chancellor of the
University of Oxford under the Commonwealth, and a member of the Westminster Assembly of Divines,
where be served on the committee which prepared the Catechisms. After the Restoration be was a
member of the group of Puritan ministers who asked for a revision of the Rook of Common Prayer,
and in thij connection wrote this general thanksgiving. He decided to accept the overtures of Charles
II to ent:^r the reorganized Church of England, and became Bishop of Norwich.

THE FIRST DAY
MORNING WORSHIP
Psalm 1
Blessed is the man that walketh
not in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor standeth in the way of sin-
ners, nor sitteth in the seat of the
scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the
Lord ;
And in his law doth he meditate
day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted
by the streams of water,
That bringeth forth its fruit in
its season,
Whose leaf also doth not wither;
And whatsoever he doeth shall
prosper.
The wicked are not so ;
But are like the chaff which the
wind driveth away.
Therefore the wicked shall not
stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation
of the righteous.
For the Lord knoweth the way of
the righteous :
But the way of the wicked shall
perish.
Psalm 3
Why do the nations rage,
And the peoples imagine a vain
thing?
The kings of the earth set them-
selves,
And the rulers take counsel to-
gether, against the Lord and
against his anointed, saying,
Let us break their bands asunder,
And cast away their cords from
us.
He that sitteth in the heavens shall
laugh :
The Lord shall have them in de-
rision.
Then shall he speak unto them in
his wrath,
And vex them in his sore dis-
pleasure :
Yet I have set my king upon my
holy hill of Zion,
I will tell of the decree: The
Lord said unto me, Thou art my
son;
This day have I begotten thee.
Ask of me, and I will give thee
the nations for thine inheritance.
And the uttermost parts of the
earth for thy possession.
Selection 2
Ube Ipsalter
Thou shalt break them with a
rod of iron;
Thou shalt clash thcni in pieces
like a potter's vessel.
Now therefore be wise, O ye
kings :
Be instructed, ye judges of the
earth.
Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
Lay hold if instruction lest he be
angry, and ye perish in the way,
For his wrath will soon be kin-
dled.
Blessed are all they that put
their trust in him.
Psalm 3
Lord, how are mine adversaries
increased !
Many are they that rise up against
me.
Many there be which say of my
soul,
There is no help for him in God.
But thou, O Lord, art a shield
about me;
My glory, and the lifter up of
mine head.
I cry unto the Lord with my
voice,
And he answereth me out of his
holy hill.
I laid me down and slept ;
I awaked; for the Lord sustain-
eth me.
I will not be afraid of ten thou-
sands of the people, that have set
themselves against me round about.
Arise, O Lord; save me, O my
God:
Lor thou hast smitten all mine en-
emies upon the cheek bone ;
Thou hast broken the teeth of the
wicked.
Salvation belongeth unto the
Lord:
Thy blessing be upon thy people.

Psalm 4
Answer me when I call, O God
of my righteousness;
Thou hast set me at large when
I was in distress: have mercy upon
me, and hear my prayer.
O ye sons of men, how long shall
my glory be turned into dishonour?
How long will ye love vanity,
and seek after falsehood?
But know that the Lord hath set
apart him that is godly for himself:
The Lord will hear when I call
unto him.
Stand in awe, and sin not :
Commune with your own heart
upon your bed, and be still.
Offer the sacrifices of righteous-
ness.
And put your trust in the Lord.
Many there be that say. Who will
shew us any good?
Lord, lift thou up the light of thy
countenance upon us.
Ube psalter
Selection 3
Thou hast put gladness in my
heart.
More than they have when their
corn and their wine are increased.
In peace will I both lay me down
and sleep :
For thou, Lord, alone makest me
dwell in safety.
PSALil 8
O Lord, our Lord, how excellent
is thy name in all the earth!
Who hast set thy glory upon the
heavens.
Out of the mouth of babes and
sucklings hast thou established
strength, because of thine adversa-
ries,
That thou mightest still the ene-
my and the avenger.
When I consider thy heavens, the
work of thy fingers.
The moon and the stars, which
thou hast ordained;
\Miat is man, that thou art mind-
ful of him?
And the son of man, that thou
visitest him?
For thou hast made him but little
lower than God,
And crownest him with glory and
honour.
Thou madest him to have domin-
ion over the works of thy hands ;
Thou hast put all things under his
feet:
All sheep and oxen, yea, and the
beasts of the field ;
The fowl of the air, and the fish
of the sea, whatsoever passeth
through the paths of the seas.
0 Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is thy name in all
the earth!

Psalm 9
1 WILL give thanks unto the Lord
with my whole heart ;
I will shew forth all thy marvel-
lous works.
I will be glad and exult in thee :
I will sing praise to thy name, O
thou Most High.
^^'he^ mine enemies turn back.
They stumble and perish at thy
presence.
For thou hast maintained my
right and my cause ;
Thou satest in the throne judging
righteously.
Thou hast rebuked the nations,
thou hast destroyed the wicked.
Thou hast blotted out their name
for ever and ever.
The enemy are come to an end,
they are desolate for ever ;
And the cities which thou hast
overthrown, their very memorial is
perished.
But the Lord sitteth as king for
ever :
He hath prepared his throne for
judgement.
Selection 4
Ubc psalter
And he shall judge the world in
righteousness,
He shall minister judgement to
the peoples in uprightness.
The Lord also will be a high
tower for the oppressed,
A high tower in times of trouble;
And they that know thy name will
put their trust in thee;
For thou, Lord, hast not forsaken
them that seek thee.
Sing praises to the Lord, which
dwelleth in Zion:
Declare among the peoples his
doings.
For he that maketh inquisitior'
for blood remembereth them :
He forgetteth not the cry of the
poor.
Have mercy upon me, O Lord ;
behold my affliction which I suffer
of them that hate me,
Thou that liftest me up from the
gates of death;
That I may shew forth all thy
praise :
In the gates of the daughter of
Zion I will rejoice in thy salvation.
The nations are sunk down in the
pit that they made :
In the net which they hid is their
own foot taken.
The Lord hath made himself
known, he hath executed judgment :
The wicked is snared in the work
of his own hands.
The wicked shall return to Shcol,
Even all the nations that forget
God.
For the needy shall not alway be
forgotten,
Nor the expectation of the poor
perish for ever.
Arise, O Lord ; let not man pre-
vail:
Let the nations be judged in thy
sight.
Put them in fear, O Lord:
Let the nations know themselves
to be but men.

THE SECOND DAY
EVENING WORSHIP
PSAI.M 10
Why standest thou afar oft", O
Lord?
Why hidest thou thyself in times
of trouble?
Li the pride of the wicked the
poor is hotly pursued ;
They are taken in the devices that
they have imagined.
For the wicked boasteth of his
heart's desire.
And the covetous renounceth,
yea, contemneth the Lord.
The wicked, in the pride of his
countenance, saith, He will not re-
quire it.
All his thoughts are, There is no
God.
His ways are firm at all times;
Thy judgements are far above out
of his sight: as for all his adversa-
ries, he puffeth at them.
He saith in his heart, I shall not
be moved :
Xlbe psaltec
Selection 4
To all generations I shall not be
in adversity.
His mouth is full of cursing and
deceit and oppression:
Under his tongue is mischief and
iniquity.
He sitteth in the lurking places of
the villages :
In the covert places doth he mur-
der the innocent:
His eyes are privily set against
the helpless.
He lurketh in the covert as a lion
in his den:
He lieth in wait to catch the poor :
He doth catch the poor, when he
draweth him in his net.
He croucheth, he boweth down,
And the helpless fall by his strong
ones.
He saith in his heart, God hath
forgotten :
He hideth his face ; he will never
see it.
Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up
thine hand :
Forget not the poor.
Wherefore doth the wicked con-
temn God,
And say in his heart, Thou wilt
not require it?
Thou hast seen it :
For thou beholdest mischief and
spite, to take it into thy hand:
The helpless committeth himself
unto thee ;
Thou hast been the helper of the
fatherless.
Break thou the arm of the
wicked ;
And as for the evil man, seek out
his wickedness till thou find none.
The Lord is King for ever and
ever :
The nations are perished out of
his land.
Lord, thou hast heard the desire
of the meek :
Thou wilt prepare their heart,
thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
To judge the fatherless and the
oppressed,
That man which is of the earth
may be terrible no more.
Psalm 11:1-;3, 4-7

How say ye to m.y soul, Flee as
a bird to your mountain?
For, lo, the wicked bend the bow,
They make ready their arrow
upon the string, that they may shoot
in darkness at the upright in heart.
The Lord is in his holy temple,
The Lord, his throne is in heav-
en;
His eyes behold, his eyelids try,
the children of men.
The Lord trieth the righteous:
But the wicked and him that
loveth violence his soul hateth.
Upon the wicked he shall rain
snares ;
Fire and brimstone and burning
wind shall be the portion of their
cup.

Psalm 14
The fool hath said in his heart,
There is no God.
They are corrupt, they have done
abominable works: there is none
that doeth good.
The Lord looked down from
heaven upon the children of men,
To see if there were any that did
understand, that did seek after God.
They are all gone aside ; they are
together become filthy;
There is none that doeth good,
no, not one.
Have all the workers of iniquity
no knowledge?
Who eat up my people as they
eat bread, and call not upon the
Lord.
There were they in great fear:
For God is in the generation of
the righteous.
Ye put to shame the counsel of
the poor,
Because the Lord is his refuge.
Oh that the salvation of Israel
were come out of Zion !
When the Lord bringeth back the
captivity of his people, then shall
Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be
glad.
Psalm 15
Lord, who shall sojourn in thy
tabernacle ?
Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
He that walketh uprightly, and
worketh righteousness,
And speaketh truth in his heart.
He that slandereth not with his
tongue,
Nor doeth evil to his friend, nor
taketh up a reproach against his
neighbour.
In whose eyes a reprobate is de-
spised ;
But he honoureth them that fear
the Lord.
He that sw^eareth to his own hurt,
and changeth not.
He that putteth not out his
money to usury.
Nor taketh reward against the
innocent.
He that doeth these things shall
never be moved.
Psalm 16
Preserve me, O God : for in thee
do I put my trust.
I have said unto the Lord, Thou
art my Lord: I have no good be-
yond thee.
As for the saints that are in the

They are the excellent in whom
is all my delight.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied
that exchange the Lord for another

Yea, I have a goodly heritage.
I will bless the Lord, who hath
given me counsel :
Yea, my reins instruct me in the
night seasons.
I have set the Lord always before
me:
Because he is at my right hand,
I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart is glad, and
my glory rejoiceth :
My flesh also shall dwell in
safety.
For thou wilt not leave my soul
to Sheol;
Neither wilt thou suffer thine
holy one to see corruption.
Thou wilt shew me the path of

In thy presence is fulness of joy:
in thy right hand there are pleas-

Psalm 18:1-39
I LOVE thee, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock, and my
fortress, and my deliverer;
My God, my strong rock, in him
will I trust ;
My shield, and the horn of my
salvation, my high tower.
I will call upon the Lord, who is
worthy to be praised :
So shall I be saved from mine en-
emies.
The cords of death compassed
me,
And the floods of ungodliness
made me afraid.
The cords of Sheol were round
about me :
The snares of death came upon
me.
In my distress I called upon the
Lord,
And cried unto my God:
He heard my voice out of his
temple,
And my cry before him came into
his ears.
Then the earth shook and trem-
bled,
The foundations also of the
mountains moved and were shaken,
because he was wroth.
There went up a smoke out of
his nostrils, and fire out of his
mouth devoured :
Coals were kindled by it.
He bowed the heavens also, and
came down ;
And thick darkness was under his
feet.
And he rode upon a cherub, and
did fly:
Selection 6
Ube psalter
Yea, he flew swiftly upon the
wings of the wind.
He made darkness his hiding
place, his pavilion round about him ;
Darkness of waters, thick clouds
of the skies.
At the brightness before him his
thick clouds passed,
Hailstones and coals of fire.
The Lord also thundered in the
heavens,
And the Most High uttered his
voice; hailstones and coals of fire.
And he sent out his arrows, and
scattered them ;
Yea, lightnings manifold, and dis-
comfited them.
Then the channels of waters ap-
peared.
And the foundations of the world
were laid bare.
At thy rebuke, O Lord,
At the blast of the breath of thy
nostrils.
He sent from on high, he took
me;
He drew me out of many waters.
He delivered me from my strong
enemy,
And from them that hated me,
for they were too mighty for me.
They came upon me in the day of
my calamity :
But the Lord was my stay.
He brought me forth also into a
large place ;
He delivered me, because he de-
lighted in me.
The Lord rewarded me according
to my righteousness ;
According to the cleanness of my
hands hath he recompensed me.
For I have kept the ways of the
Lord,
And have not wickedly departed
from my God.
For all his judgments were before
me,
And I put not away his statutes
from me.
I was also perfect with him,
And I kept myself from mine in-
iquity.
Therefore hath the Lord recom-
pensed me according to my right-
eousness,
According to the cleanness of my
hands in his eyesight.
Witli the merciful thou w^ilt shew
thyself merciful;
With the perfect man thou wilt
shew thyself perfect ;
With the pure thou wilt shew thy-
self pure;
And with the perverse thou wilt
shew thyself froward.
For thou wilt save the afflicted
people ;
But the haughty eyes thou wilt
bring down.
For thou wilt light my lamp :
The Lord my God will lighten my
darkness.
For by thee I run upon a troop ;
And by my God do I leap over a
wall.

And maketh my way perfect.
He maketh my feet like hinds'
feet:
And setteth me upon my high
places.
He teacheth my hands to war;
So that mine arms do bend a bow
of brass.
Thou hast also given me the
shield of thy salvation:
And thy right hand hath holden
me up, and thy gentleness hath
made me great.
Thou hast enlarged my steps un-
der me,
And my feet have not slipped.
I will pursue mine enemies, and
overtake them :
Neither will I turn again till they
are consumed.
I will smite them through that
they shall not be able to rise :
They shall fall under my feet.
For thou hast girded me with
strength unto the battle :
Thou hast subdued under me
those that rose up against me.

Which is as a bridegroom coming

And rejoiceth as a strong man to

His going forth is from the end

And his circuit unto the ends of

The law of the Lord is perfect,

Moreover by them is thy servant
warned :
In keeping of them there is great

Who can discern his errors?
Clear thou me from hidden faults.
Keep back thy servant also from
presumptuous sins;
Let them not have dominion over

Then shall I be perfect.
And I shall be clear from great

And accept thy burnt sacrifice ;
Grant thee thy heart's desire.
And fulfil all thy counsel.
We will triumph in thy victory,
And in the name of our God we
will set up our banners:
The Lord fulfil all thy petitions.
Now know I that the Lord saveth
his anointed;
He will answer him from his holy

With the saving strength of his

A reproach of men, and despised

All they that see me laugh me to

They shoot out the lip, they shake

Commit thyself unto the Lord;

Let him deliver him, seeing he

Thou art my God since my mother

Be not far from me ; for trouble

For there is none to help.
Many bulls have compassed me :
strong bulls of Bashan have beset

They gape upon me with their

I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are out of joint :
My heart is like wax ;
It is melted in the midst of my

My strength is dried up like a pot-

And my tongue cleaveth to my

For dogs have compassed me :
The assembly of evil-doers have

They part my garments among

And upon my vesture do they
cast lots.
But be not thou far ofif, O Lord ;

Deliver my soul from the sword ;

Save me from the lion's mouth ;
Yea, from the horns of the wild-

Come, ye children, hearken unto

Lord.
What man is he that desireth life,
And loveth many days, that he
may see good?
Keep thy tongue from evil,
And thy lips from speaking guile.
Depart from evil, and do good ;
Seek peace, and pursue it.
The eyes of the LoRP are toward
the righteous,
And his ears are open unto their
cry.
The face of the Lord is against
them that do evil,
To cut off the remembrance of
them from the earth.
The righteous cried, and the Lord
heard.
And delivered them out of all
their troubles.
The Lord is nigh unto them that
are of a broken heart,
And saveth such as be of a con-
trite spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the
righteous :
But the Lord delivereth him out
of them all.
He keepeth all his bones :
Not one of them is broken.
Evil shall slay the wicked :
And they that hate the righteous
shall be condemned.
The Lord redeemeth the soul of
his servants :
And none of them that trust in
him shall be condemned.

I held my peace, even from good ;
And my sorrow was stirred.
My heart was hot within me;
While I was musing the fire kin-

Then spake I with my tongue:
Lord, make me to know mine
end, and the measure of my days,
what it is ;
Let me know how frail I am.
Behold, thou hast made my days
as handbreadths ;
And mine age is as nothing be-
fore thee:
Surely every man at his best es-

Surely every man walketh in a
vain shew:
Surely they are disquieted in vain:
He heapeth up riches, and know-
eth not who shall gather them.
And now. Lord, what wait I for?
My hope is in thee.
Deliver me from all my trans-
gressions :
Make me not the reproach of the
foolish.
I was dumb,
I opened not my mouth; because
thou didst it.
Remove thy stroke away from
me :
I am consumed by the blow of thy
hand.
When thou with rebukes dost cor-
rect man for iniquity.
Thou makest his beauty to con-
sume away like a moth: surely ev-
ery man is vanity.
Hear my prayer, O Lord,
And give ear unto my cry;
Hold not thy peace at my tears :

But them didst thou plant;

Surely men of low degree are
vanity, and men of high degree are

In the balances they will go up ;

Trust not in oppression, and be-

If riches increase, set not your

Twice have I heard this; that

0 God, thou art my God ; earnest-

My soul thirsteth for thee, my
flesh longeth for thee,
In a dry and weary land,
Where no water is.
So have I looked upon thee in the
sanctuary,
To see thy power and thy glory.
For thy lovingkindness is better

My lips shall praise thee.
So will I bless thee while I live :

Aly soul shall be satisfied as with

And my mouth shall praise thee

For thou hast been my help.
And in the shadow of thy wings

My soul followeth hard after

Thy right hand upholdeth me.
But those that seek my soul, to
destroy it, shall go into the lower

They shall be given over to the

But the king shall rejoice in God:
Every one that sweareth by him

Surely God is good to Israel,
Even to such as are pure in heart.
But as for me, my feet were al-

My steps had well nigh slipped.
For I was envious at the arro-
gant,
When I saw the prosperity of the
wicked.
For there are no bands in their
death :
But their strength is firm.
They are not in trouble as other
men;
Neither are they plagued like oth-
er men;
Therefore pride is as a chain
about their neck;
Violence covereth them as a gar-
ment.
Their eyes stand out with fatness :
They have more than heart could
wish.
They scoff, and in wickedness ut-
ter oppression:
They speak loftily.
They have set their mouth in the
heavens,
the earth.
Therefore his people are turned
after them:
And waters of a full cup are
drained by them.
And they say, How doth God
know ?
And is there knowledge in the
Most High?
Behold, these are the wicked;
And, being alway at ease, they
increase in riches.
Surely in vain have I cleansed my
heart.
And washed my hands in inno-
cency ;
For all the day long have I been
plagued.
And chastened every morning.
If I had said, I will speak thus;
Behold, I had dealt treacherously
with the generation of thy children.
When I thought how I might
know this, it was too painful for
me;
Until I went into the sanctuary
of God, and considered their latter
end.
Surely thou settest them in slip-
pery places :
Thou castest them down to de-
struction.
How are they become a desola-
tion in a moment !
They are utterly consumed with

Thou hast holden my right hand.
Thou shalt guide me with thy

And afterward receive me to

Lord:
Let us make a joyful noise to the
rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence
with thanksgiving,
Let us make a joyful noise unto
him with psalms.
For the Lord is a great God,
And a great King above all gods.
Li his hand are the deep places of

The heights of the mountains are
his also.
The sea is his, and he made it ;
And his hands formed the dry
land.
O come, let us worship and bow
down ;
Let us kneel before the Lord our
Maker:
For he is our God,
And we are the people of his pas-
ture, and the sheep of his hand.
To-day, Oh that ye would hear
his voice! Harden not your heart,

As in the day of Massah in the

When your fathers tempted me,
Proved me, and saw my work.
Forty years long was I grieved

Wlio laid the foundations of the

That it should not be moved for

Thou coveredst it with the deep

The waters stood above the

At thy rebuke they fled ;
At the voice of thy thunder they
hasted away ;
They went up by the mountains,
they went down by the valleys,
Unto the place which thou hadst
founded for them.
Thou hast set a bound that they
may not pass over ;
That they turn not again to cover
the earth.
He sendeth forth springs into the

They run among the mountains:
They give drink to every beast of
the field ;
The wild asses quench their
thirst.
By them the birds of the heavens
have their habitation,
They sing among the branches.
He watereth the mountains from
his chambers :
The earth is satisfied with the
fruit of thy works.
He causeth the grass to grow for

And herb for the service of man;
That he may bring forth food
out of the earth :
And wine that maketh glad the
heart of man.
And oil to make his face to shine,
And bread that strengtheneth
man's heart.
The trees of the Lord are satis-

The cedars of Lebanon, which he
hath planted;
Where the birds make their nests :
As for the stork, the fir trees are

The high mountains are for the
wild goats ;
The rocks are a refuge for the
conies.
He appointed the moon for sea-

The sun knoweth his going down.
Thou makest darkness, and it is

Wherein all the beasts of the for-

Fools because of their transgres-

Whither the tribes go up, even

For a testimony unto Israel,
To give thanks unto the name of
the Lord.
For there are set thrones for
judgement,
The thrones of the house of David.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
They shall prosper that love thee.
Peace be within thy walls,
And prosperity within thy palaces.
For my brethren and companions'

For the sake of the house of the

My way is hid from the Lord,
And the justice due to me is
passed away from my God?
Hast thou not known?

The everlasting God, the Lord,
the Creator of the ends of the earth,
fainteth not, neitlier is weary;
There is no searching of his un-

He giveth power to the faint ;
And to him that hath no might

Even the youths shall faint and

But they that wait upon the Lord

They shall run and not be weary ;

Behold my Servant, whom I up-

I have put my spirit upon him;
He shall bring forth justice to
the Gentiles.
He shall not cry, nor lift up his

A bruised reed shall he not break,
And the smoking flax shall he not

He shall not fail nor be discour-
aged till he have set justice in the

and that which cometh out of it;

meek;
He hath sent me to bind up the
brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the cap-
tives, and the opening of the prison
to them that are bound ;
To proclaim the acceptable year
of the Lord,
And the day of vengeance of our
God:
To comfort all that mourn;
To appoint unto them that mourn
in Zion, to give unto them a garland
for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the
spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of
righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that he
might be glorified.
And they shall build the old
wastes,
They shall raise up the former
desolations.
And they shall repair the waste
cities,
The desolations of many genera-
tions.

Isaiah 52:13-53:13
Behold, my servant shall deal
wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted
up, and shall be very high.
Like 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 startle many nations;
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 understand.
Who hath believed our report?
And to whom hath the arm of the
Lord been revealed?
For he grew up before him as a
tender plant,
And as a root out of a dry
ground :
He hath no form nor comeliness ;
And when we see him, there is no
beauty that we should desire him.
He was despised, and rejected of
men;
A man of sorrows, and acquainted
with grief:
And as one from whom men hide
their face he was despised,
And we esteemed him not.
Surely he hatli borne our griefs,
and carried our sorrows :
Yet we did esteem him stricken,
smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our
transgressions.
He was bruised for our iniqui-
ties:
The chastisement of our peace
was upon him ;
And with his stripes we are
healed.
All we like sheep have gone
astray; we have turned every one
to his own way :
And the Lord hath laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed, yet he hum-
bled himself and opened not his
mouth ;
As a lamb that is led to the
slaughter, and as a sheep that be-
fore her shearers is dumb; yea, he
opened not his mouth.
By oppression and judgment he
was taken away ;

And his life, who shall recount?
For he was cut off out of the land
of the Hving?
For the transgression of my peo-
ple was he stricken.
And they made his grave with
the wicked,
And with the rich in his death;
Although he had done no vio-
lence,
Neither was any deceit in his
mouth.
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise
him ;
He hath put him to grief:
When thou shalt make his soul an
offering for sin, he shall see his
seed.
He shall prolong his days, and
the pleasure of the Lord shall pros-
per in his hand.
He shall see of the travail of his
soul, and shall be satisfied :
By his knowledge shall my right-
eous servant justify many: and he
shall bear their iniquities.
Therefore will I divide him a
portion with the great,
And he shall divide the spoil with
the strong;
Because he poured out his soul
unto death, and was numbered with
the transgressors :
Yet he bare the sin of many, and
made intercession for the trans-
gressors.

Psalm 2-2 ; 1-28.
My God, my God, why hast thou
forsaken me?
Why art thou so far from helping
me, and from the words of my roar-
ing?
O my God, I cry in the day-time,
but thou answerest not ;
And in the night season, and am
not silent.
But thou art holy,
O thou that inhabitest the praises
of Israel.
Our fathers trusted in thee :
They trusted, and thou didst de-
liver them.
They cried unto thee, and were
delivered :
They trusted in thee, and were
not ashamed.
But I am a worm, and no man ;
A reproach of men, and despised
of the people.
All they that see me laugh me to
scorn :
They shoot out the lip, they
shake the head, saying,
Commit thyself unto the Lord;
let him deliver him :
Let him deliver him, seeing he
delighteth in him.
But thou art he that took me out
of the womb :
Thou didst make me trust when
I was upon my mother's breasts,

I was cast upon thee from the
womb :
Thou art my God since my mother
bare me.
Be not far from me; for trouble
is near;
For there is none to help.
Many bulls have compassed me :
strong bulls of Bashan have beset
me round.
They gape upon me with their
mouth, as a ravening and a roaring
lion.
I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are out of
joint :
My heart is like wax;
It is melted within me.
My strength is dried up like a
potsherd ;
And my tongue cleaveth to my
jaws; and thou hast brought me
into the dust of death.
For dogs have compassed me :
The assembly of evil-doers have
inclosed me;
They pierced my hands and my
feet.
I may tell all my bones; they
look and stare upon me:
They part my garments among
them,
And upon my vesture do they
cast lots.
But be not thou far off, O Lord:
O thou my succour, haste thee to
help me.
Deliver my soul from the sword;
My darling from the power of the
dog.
Save me from the lion's mouth ;
Yea, from the horns of the wild-
oxen thou hast answered me.
I will declare thy name unto my
brethren :
In the midst of the congregation
will I praise thee.
Ye that fear the Lord, praise him ;
All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify
him;
And stand in awe of him, all ye
the seed of Israel.
For he hath not despised nor ab-
horred the affliction of the afflicted ;
Neither hath he hid his face from
him ;
But when he cried unto him, he
heard.
Of thee Cometh my praise in the
great congregation :
I will pay my vows before them
that fear him.
The meek shall eat and be satis-
fied:
They shall praise the Lord that
seek after him: their heart shall live
for ever.
All the ends of the earth shall re-
member and turn unto the Lord:
And all the kindreds of the na-
tions shall worship before him.
For the kingdom is the Lord's:
And he is ruler over the nations.

Psalm 16
Preserve me, O God : for in thee
do I put my trust.
I have said unto the Lord, Thou
art my Lord: I have no good be-
yond thee.
As for the saints that are in the
earth,
They are the excellent in whom
is all my delight.
Their sorrows shall be multiplied
that excliange the Lord for another
god :
Their drink offerings of blood will
I not offer, nor take their names
upon my lips.
The Lord is the portion of mine
inheritance and of my cup:
Thou maintainest my lot.
The lines are fallen unto me in
pleasant places ;
Yea, I have a goodly heritage.
I will bless the Lord, wlio hath
given me counsel :
Yea, my reins instruct me in the
night seasons.
I have set the Lord always before
me:
Because he is at my right hand,
I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart is glad, and
my glory rejoiceth :
My flesh also shall dwell in safe-
ty.
For thou wilt not leave my soul
to Sheol;
Neither wilt thou suffer thine
holy one to see corruption.
Thou wilt shew me the path of
Hfe:
In thy presence is fulness of joy;
in thy right hand there are pleas-
ures for evermore.

Psalm 73
Surely God is good to Israel,
Even to such as are pure in heart.
But as for me, my feet were al-
most gone ;
My steps had well nigh slipped.
For I was envious at the arro-
gant,
When I saw the prosperity of the
wicked.
For there are no bands in their
death :
But their strength is firm.
They are^not in trouble as other
men;
Neither are they plagued like
other men;
Therefore pride is as a chain
about their neck ;
Violence covereth them as a gar-
ment.
Their eyes stand out with fatness :
They have more than heart could
wish.

They scoff, and in wickedness ut-
ter oppression:
They speak loftily.
They have set their month in the
heavens,
And their tongue walketh through
the earth.
Therefore his people are turned
after them:
And waters of a full cup are
drained by them.
And they say, How doth God
know ?
And is there knowledge in the
Most High?
Behold, these are the wicked ;
And, being alway at ease, they
increase in riches.
Surely in vain have I cleansed
my heart.
And washed my hands in inno-
cency ;
For all the day long have I been
plagued.
And chastened every morning.
If I had said, I will speak thus;
Behold, I had dealt treacherously
with the generation of thy children.
When I thought how I might
know this, it was too painful for
me;
Until I went into the sanctuary of
God, and considered their latter
end.
Surely thou settest them in slip-
pery places :
Thou castest them down to de-
struction.
How are they become a desolation
in a moment !
They are utterly consumed with
terrors.
As a dream when one awaketh ;
So, O Lord, when thou awakest,
thou shalt despise their image.
For my heart was grieved,
And I was pricked in my reins:
So brutish was I, and ignorant ;
I was as a beast before thee.
Nevertheless I am continually
with thee :
Thou hast holden my right hand.
Thou shalt guide me with thy
counsel,
And afterward receive me to
glory.
Whom have I in heaven but thee?
And there is none upon earth that
I desire beside thee.
My flesh and my heart faileth :
But God is the strength of my
heart and my portion for ever.
