5 To chase the shades of death away, A beam of heav'n, a vital ray, 6 O change these wretched hearts of ours, HYMN 21. ATHER, to thee my soul I lift, 2 Mercy and grace are thine alone, نا (c. M.) Sept L Ste レン し 3 Thou all our works in us hast wrought, Our good is all divine; The praise of ev'ry holy thought And righteous word is thine. 4 From thee, through Jesus, we receive In whom we are, and move, and live: 1 L HYMN 22. (111. 1.) L ING, my soul, his wondrous love, Ever watchful o'er our race, Still to man extends his grace. 2 Heav'n and earth by him were made, 3 God, the merciful and good, Bought us with the Saviour's blood; L 4 Sing, my soul, adore his name; HYMN 23.

THE CHURCH. HYMN 24. IKE Noah's weary dove, L RCH. (s. M.) L That soar'd the earth around, The cheerless waters found; 2 O cease, my wand'ring soul, L On restless wing to roam, All the wide world, to either pole, 3 Behold the Ark of God, Behold the open door; Hasten to gain that dear abode, 4 There, safe thou shalt abide, L 1 L I 1,8, HYMN 25. Q (s. M.) L LOVE thy kingdom, Lord, The house of thine abode, The Church our blest Redeemer sav'd With his own precious blood, 2 I love thy Church, O God! Her walls before thee stand, 3 If e'er to bless thy sons, My voice or hands deny, These hands let useful skill forsake, 4 If e'er my heart forget Her welfare, or her wo, 5 For her my tears shall fall; To her my cares and toils be giv'n, 6 Beyond my highest joy I prize her heav'nly ways, Her sweet communion, solemn vows, 7 Jesus, thou friend divine, Our Saviour and our King, 8 Sure as thy truth shall last, The brightest glories earth can yield, L L L L 1 NOT HYMN 26. HEBREWS xii. 18. 22-24. TOT to the terrors of the Lord, Which God on Sinai spoke: 2 But we are come to Zion's hill, Where milder words declare his will, 3 Behold th' innumerable host Of angels cloth'd in light! L 4 Behold the bless'd assembly there L L. L OLEST is the tie that binds BU Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. 2 Before our Father's throne We pour united pray'rs; LL Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one; 3 We share our mutual woes, 4 When we at death must part, How keen, how deep the pain! But we shall still be join'd in heart, に 5 From sorrow, toil, and pain, And perfect love and friendship reign 1 L The Church in Glory. PSALM CXXII. WH VITH joy shall I behold the day For lo! my great Redeemer's pow'r And points me to his rest. 2 Ev'n now, to my expecting eyes I view her mansions, that contain 3 Thither, from earth's remotest end, There, crown'd with everlasting joy, 4 The King a seat hath there prepar'd, For his eternal Son: His palaces with joy abound; His saints, by him with glory crown'd, 5 Mother of cities! o'er thy head ہیں Bright peace, with healing wings outspread, Let me, blest seat! my name behold Among thy citizens enroll'd, And bid the world farewell. |
