Sing of his dying love,
Sing of his rising power;
Sing how he intercedes above-
For those whose sins he bore.

Sing, till we feel our hearts
Ascending with our tongues;
Sing, till the love of sin departs
And grace inspires our songs.
Soon shall we hear him say,

"Ye blessed children come;"
Soon will he call us hence away
And take his wand'rers home.

There shall our raptur'd tongue
His endless praise proclaim;
And sweeter voices tune the song
Of "Moses and the Lamb."

PRAYER

For Tuesday Morning.

O Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth! Thou keepest mercy for thousands, pardoning iniquity, transgression, and sin; thou dost not retain thine anger for ever, because thou delightest in mercy. How excellent is thy loving-kindness, O God! therefore do the sons of men put their trust under

the shadow of thy wings ;-and therefore do we desire still to look up to that bountiful hand of thine which has satisfied us with every good thing. O Lord our God, be thou pleased to look down mercifully upon us, and be thou gracious and favourable to us; O look not upon our sins, which are more than can be numbered, and greater than we can express; but behold us in mercy through the merits and mediation of thy Son our Saviour, who did no sin, and was manifested that he might takeaway our sin. Othat we may receive of his fulness, grace sufficient for us, to pardon our sins and subdue our iniquities; to justify our persons and sanctify our souls; and to complete upon our hearts and lives, that truly renovating change which may transform us into the blessed image, after which we were created anew in Christ Jesus; and make us more meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. Teach us, O Lord our God, to use this world without abusing it; and to enjoy the things of it without losing our part in thy love, which is better than life. Whatever we have of this world, O may we have it with thy love, sanctified to us by thy word and prayer; and whatsoever we want of the things of this life, O Lord, our heavenly Father, leave us not destitute of those things that accompany salvation, but fill

our souls with such graces of thy Spirit, as may enable us to adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things; that others seeing our good works, may glorify our Father who is in heaven.

And now that thou hast renewed our lives and thy mercies to us this morning, help us, good God, to renew our desires and endeavours to live in obedience to thy holy will, and to the honour of thy blessed name; and grant that we may think and speak, and will, and do things becoming the children of our heavenly Father, and so find the strong consolation of thy gracious acceptance in Christ Jesus our Saviour, in whom we desire to be found in life, in death, and for ever. Amen.

HYMN.

My soul, repeat his praise,
Whose mercies are so great;
Whose anger is so slow to rise,
So ready to abate.

God will not always chide;
And when his strokes are felt,

His strokes are fewer than our crimes,
And lighter than our guilt.

High as the heavens are rais'd,
Above the ground we tread,
So far the riches of his grace,
Our highest thoughts exceed.

His power subdues our sins
And his forgiving love,

;

Far as the east is from the west,
Doth all our guilt remove.

The pity of the Lord,

To those that fear his name, Is such as tender parents feel; He knows our feeble frame.

He knows we are but dust, Scatter'd with ev'ry breathı ;His anger, like a rising wind, Can send us swift to death.

Our days are like the

grass, Or like the morning-flower:

If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field,
It withers in an hour.

But thy compassions, Lord,
To endless years endure;

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

PRAYER

For Tuesday Evening.

Almighty and everlasting God, who art always more ready to hear than we are to pray; and art able to give more than we can either ask or think; pour down upon us the abundance of thy mercy; forgive us those things whereof our conscience is afraid, and give us those good things which we are not worthy to ask, but for Jesus Christ's sake.

Once more, O Lord, we are permitted to present ourselves before thee. Let thy merciful ears be open to our prayers; and that we may obtain our petitions, make us to ask such things as shall please thee. We know that we cannot pray aright, but as thy grace influences both our hearts and lips. O give us a hearty desire to pray. May we now seek thy grace, as a condemned malefactor would ask for mercy of his judge. And do thou shew that mercy to our sinful souls, for thy name's sake.

Our days and years, O Lord, pass away with the greatest speed, and every one of them brings us nearer to death and eternity. O that we may feel a lively conviction of the vanity of all worldly pursuits, and the necessity,
