And, lured by worldly joys away, Among the thoughtless crowd be found; 2 Remember still that they are Thine, That Thy dear sacred name they bear; Think that the seal of love divine, The sign of covenant grace, they wear. 3 In all their erring, sinful years, O let them ne'er forgotten be; Remember all the prayers and tears Which made them consecrate to Thee. And when these lips no more can pray, These eyes can weep for them no more, Turn Thou their feet from folly's way, The wanderers to Thy fold restore. 4 Mrs. Ann Bradley Hyde ( -1872), 1824. ISAAC BAKER WOODBURY (1819-1858), 1850. 1. Saviour, who Thy flock art feeding, With the shepherd's kindest care, All the feeble gen-tly Christ, our triumphant King, We come Thy Name to sing;Hither our children bring, To shout Thy praise. 436 Στόμιον πώλων ἀδαῶν. 2 Thou art our Holy Lord, 3 Ever be Thou our Guide, By Thy perennial Word 4 So now, and till we die, To Christ our King. From Clement of Alexandria ( 1849. Ab. -217), 1846, With salva- tion's walls sur-round-ed, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See the streams of living waters, Ever flows their thirst t'assuage? Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hovering, Light by night, and shade by day, 2 All will come to desolation, Unless Thou return again. Keep no longer at a distance, Shine upon us from on high, Lest, for want of Thine assistance, Every plant should droop and die. Once, O Lord, Thy garden flourished; Every part looked gay and green; Then Thy word our spirits nourished: Happy seasons we have seen. But a drought has since succeeded, And a sad decline we see: Lord, Thy help is greatly needed, Help can only come from Thee. 3 Let our mutual love be fervent; Make us prevalent in prayer; Shun the world's bewitching snare. Turn the stony heart to flesh, Rev. John Newton, 1779. Ab. and alt. REGENT SQUARE. 8.7.4. MISSIONS. HENRY SMART (1812-1879), 1867. 177 1. Saints of God! the dawn is brightening, Token of our coming Lord; O'er the earth the field is whitening; Louder rings the Master's word,-“Pray for reapers Pray for reapers In the harvest of the Lord." 2 Now, O Lord! fulfil Thy pleasure, Bring Thy ransomed people home. To the earth's remotest bound. Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness, Grant them, Lord, Thy glorious light, And from eastern coast to western May the morning chase the night; And redemption, Freely purchased, win the day. 3 Fly abroad, thou mighty Gospel, Win and conquer, never cease: May thy lasting, wide dominions Multiply, and still increase; Sway Thy sceptre, Saviour, all the world around. Rev. William Williams (1717-1791), 1772. Ab. and alt. THOMAS HASTINGS (1784-1872). 1830. ། ANVERN. L. M. German. Arr. by LOWELL MASON (1792-1872), 1840. 1.

Ab. 442 Prayer for speedy Triumph. 1 Soon may the last glad song arise Through all the millions of the skies, That song of triumph, which records That all the earth is now the Lord's. 2 Let thrones, and powers, and kingdoms be Obedient, mighty God, to Thee; And over land, and stream, and main, Wave Thou the sceptre of Thy reign. 3 O that the anthem now might swell, And host to host the triumph tell, That not one rebel heart remains, But over all the Saviour reigns. Baptist Magazine, 1816. HENRY KEMBLE OLIVER (1800-1885), 1839. 1. Look from Thy sphere of end- less day, O God of mercy and of might; In pity look on those who stray, Be-night-ed, in this land of light. 443 Prayer for Home Missions. 2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen, 3 Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call |
