2 Clean hearts, O God! in us create,
Right spirits, Lord, in us renew;
Commence we now that higher state,
Now do thy will as angels do.

3 Lord, in thy footsteps may we tread,
Learn every lesson of thy love;

And be from grace to glory led,
From heav'n below to heav'n above.

HYMN 26.

1 JESUS, true and living Vine,
Holy, fruitful, and divine;
Graft us on thyself the root,
Fill our hearts with heav'nly fruit.

2 Let us, Lord, in thee remain,
Else our works are all in vain ;
Barren, fruitless, helpless,—we
Can do nothing without thee.

3 Keeper of the vineyard, plant
In us ev'ry grace we want;
Lop off ev'ry branch of sin,

Cleanse our hearts, and keep them clean.

4 In thy garden here below

Water us that we may grow;
When all grace to us is giv'n,
Then transplant us into heav'n!

HYMN 27.

1 THE Lord Jehovah calls;
Be every ear inclined:

May such a voice awake each heart,
And captivate the mind.

2 If he in thunder speaks,

Earth trembles at his nod:
But gentler accents here proclaim
The condescending God.

3 O harden not your hearts,

But hear his voice to-day;
Lest, ere to-morrow's earliest dawn,
He call your souls away.

4 Almighty God, pronounce

The word of conquering grace;
So shall the flint dissolve to tears,
And scorners seek thy face.

HYMN 28.

1 Love, divine, all love excelling,
Joy of heav'n, to earth come down,
Fix in us thy humble dwelling,
All thy faithful mercies crown:
Jesus, thou art all compassion,
Pure unbounded love thou art;

Visit us with thy salvation,
Enter ev'ry waiting heart.

2 Breathe, oh! breathe, thy loving Spirit Into ev'ry troubled breast: Let us all in thee inherit,

Let us find thy promis'd rest;
Thee may we be always blessing,
Serve thee as thy saints above,
Pray and praise thee without ceasing,
Triumph in redeeming love.

3 Oh! complete thy new creation;
Pure, unspotted may we be,
Let us see our full salvation,
Perfectly secur'd in thee:
Chang'd from glory into glory,

Till in heav'n we take our place:
Till we cast our crowns before thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

HYMN 29.

1 My God and Father, while I stray Far from my home, on life's rough way, O teach me from my heart to say, "Thy will be done!"

2 If thou should'st call me to resign What most I prize,-it ne'er was mine; I only yield thee what was thine ;— "Thy will be done!"

3 If but my fainting heart be blest With thy sweet Spirit for its guest, My God, to thee I leave the rest;"Thy will be done!"

4 Renew my will from day to day;
Blend it with thine, and take away

All that now makes it hard to say
Thy will be done!"

66

5 Then when on earth I breathe no more The prayer oft mix'd with tears before, I'll sing upon a happier shore,

66

Thy will be done!"

HYMN 30.

1 Now, gracious Lord! thine arm reveal, And make thy glory known: Now let us all thy presence feel,

And soften hearts of stone!

2 Help us to venture near thy throne,
And plead a Saviour's name;
For all that we can call our own
Is vanity and shame.

3 From all the guilt of former sin
Let mercy set us free!

And let the week we now begin,
Begin and end with thee.

4 Send down thy Spirit from above,
That saints may love thee more;
And sinners now may learn to love,
Who never lov'd before!

HYMN 31.

1 O BLESS the Lord, my soul! Let all within me join,

2

And aid my tongue to bless his name,
Whose favours are divine.

O bless the Lord, my soul!

Nor let his mercies lie

Forgotten in unthankfulness,

And without praises die.

3

"Tis he forgives thy sins,

"Tis he relieves thy pain;

4

"Tis he that heals thy sicknesses,

And makes thee whole again.

Then bless his holy name,

Whose grace hath made thee whole, Whose loving-kindness crowns thy days: Oh! bless the Lord, my soul.

HYMN 32.

1 O GOD! thy saving grace impart :
And deeply on each thoughtful heart
Eternal things impress;

Give us to feel their solemn weight,
To tremble at our guilty state,
And wake to righteousness.
