Filial Confidence.

1 Blest Shepherd, I am thine;
Still keep me in thy fear

Now fill my heart with grace divine;
Bring thy salvation near.

2. Among thy little flock

86.

I need the Shepherd's care;
Pour waters from the smitten Rock,
And pastures green prepare.

C. M.

Praise for Christ.

1 NOW the full glories of the Lamb
Adorn the heavenly plains;

WATTS.

Bright seraphs chant Immanuel's name,
And try their choicest strains.

2 O, may I bear some humble part
In that immortal song;

Wonder and joy shall tune my heart,
And love command my tongue.

Watch and Pray.

1 The Saviour bids us watch and pray,
For soon the hour will come

That calls us from the earth away,
To our eternal home.

2 O Saviour, we would watch and pray,
And hear thy sacred voice,

And walk, as thou hast marked the way,
To heaven's eternal joys.

Parting of Christians.

1 FOR a season called to part,
Let us now ourselves commend
To the gracious eye and heart
Of our ever-present Friend.

NEWTON.

2 Father, hear our humble prayer:
Tender Shepherd of thy sheep,
Let thy mercy and thy care
All our souls in safety keep.
3 In thy strength may we be strong;
Sweeten every cross and pain;
And our wasting lives prolong,
Till we meet on earth again.

Man's Frailty, God's Compassion.

1 OUR days are as the grass,

Or like the morning flower;

WATTS.

When blasting winds sweep o'er the field,
It withers in an hour.

2 But thy compassions, Lord,

To endless years endure,

And children's children ever find
Thy words of promise sure.

90.

Exhortation to universal Praise.

1 YE saints and servants of the Lord,
The triumphs of his name record;
His sacred name for ever bless :
Where'er the circling sun displays
His rising beams or setting rays,

Due praise to his great name address. 2 God, through the world, extends his sway! The regions of eternal day

But shadows of his glory are:

To him whose majesty excels,

Who made the heaven wherein he dwells,

91.

Let no created power compare.

H. M.

Universal Praise.

JEHOVAH'S praise sublime

CONDER.

Through the wide earth be sung;
Ye realms of every clime!
Ye tribes of every tongue!
His infinite compassion bless
His ever-during faithfulness.

Praise from all Lands.

MONTGOMERY.

1 ALL ye nations, praise the Lord ;
All ye lands, your voices raise;
Heaven and earth, with loud accord,
Praise the Lord, for ever praise.

2 For his truth and mercy stand,
Past, and present, and to be,
Like the years of his right hand,
Like his own eternity.

3 Praise him, ye who know his love;
Praise him from the depths beneath;
Praise him in the heights above;
Praise your Maker, all that breathe.

Dews and Tears.

1 GENTLY fall the dews of eve,
Raising still the languid flowers;
Sweetly flow the tears that grieve
O'er a mourner's stricken hours.
2 Blessed tears and dews that yet
Lift us nearer unto heaven!
Let us still his praise repeat,
Who in mercy all hath given.

94.

WESLEY'S COLL.

Prayer for Strength and Guidance.

1 GOD of almighty love,

By whose sufficient grace,
I lift my heart to things above,
And humbly seek thy face.

2 Through Jesus Christ the just,
My faint desires receive,
And let me in thy goodness trust
And to thy glory live.

1 TO thee our wants are known,
From thee are all our powers;
Accept what is thine own,

And pardon what is ours:

NEWTON.

Our praises, Lord, and prayers receive,
And to thy words a blessing give.

2 O, grant that each of us

96.

Now met before thee here,
May meet together thus,

When thou and thine appear:
To thy blest presence may we come
And dwell in an eternal home.

7s. M. SPIRIT OF THE PSALMS.

The Heir of Heaven.

1 WHO, O Lord, when life is o'er, Shall to heaven's blest mansions soar; Who, an ever-welcome guest,

In thy holy place shall rest?

2 He, whose heart thy love has warmed; He, whose will to thine conformed, Bids his life unsullied run;

He, whose words and thoughts are one;

3 He, who shuns the sinner's road,
Loving those who love their God;
Who, with hope, and faith unfeigned
Treads the path by thee ordained.

97.

Death of the Virtuous.

ANONYMOUS.

1 MARK the virtuous man and see,
Peace and joy his steps attend,
All his path is purity,

Happy is his end.

2 Come and see his dying bed;
Calm his latest moments roll;
Angels hover round his bed;
Heaven receives his soul.

The Song of Angels.

1 ARRAYED in clouds of golden light,
More bright than heaven's resplendent bow,
Jehovah's angel comes by night

To bless the sleeping world below;
How soft the music of his tongue,
How sweet the hallowed strains he sung.
2 Good-will henceforth to man be given,
The light of glory beams on earth;
Let angels tune the harps of heaven,
And saints below rejoice with mirth :
On Bethlehem's plains the shepherds sing,
And Judah's children hail their King.

99.

C. M.

Penitential Joy.

STEELE.

1 O, WHILE I breathe to thee, my Lord,
The humble, penitential sigh;
Confirm thy kind, forgiving word,
With pity in thine eye.

2 Then shall the mourner at thy feet,
Rejoice to seek thy face;

And grateful own how kind, how sweet,
Is thy forgiving grace.

1 FATHER, bless thy word to all;
Quick and powerful let it prove :
O, may sinners hear thy call;

Let thy people grow in love.

2 Thine own gracious message bless;
Follow it with power divine;
Give the gospel great success;
Thine the work, the glory thine.

3 Father, bid the world rejoice;
Send, O, send thy truth abroad;
Let the nations hear thy voice,
Hear it, and return to God.
