How short the term of life appears, .. - When past but as a day! 2. A dark and cloudy day,.. Made up of grief and sin, Distressing fears within. .. 3 Lord, through another year, If Thou permit my stay, With diligence may I pursue The true and living way! HYMN L. L. M. Ye nations, bow with sacred joy; 2 His Sov'reign pow'r, without our aid, Made us of clay, and form'd us men; And when likewand'ring sheep westray'd, He brought us to his fold again. 3 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs; High as the heay'ns our voices raise; And earth with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. 4 Wide as the world is thy command; Vast as eternity thy love: mononnon Where saints immortal reign : Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. Th’ eternal hills are seen! While Jordan rollid between. 3 But timorous mortals start and shrink, To cross the narrow sea, Afraid to launch away. 4 Oh! conld we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy doubts that rise; And see the Canaan that we love, With faith's illumin'd eyes; 5 Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o'er, Not Jordan's waves, nor death's cold food, Should fright us from the shore.

In the cold grave, to which we haşte; Shall meet remorseless sinners there. 4 Then, what our thoughits design to do, May we, with all our might, pursue; Since no device, nor work is found, Wisdom, nor grace beneath the ground. nooroon HYMN LIII.

God of nations, From thy temple in the skies, Hear thy people's supplications, Now for their deliverance rise. Lo! with deep contrition turning, Humbly at thy feet we bend; Fasting, praying, weeping, mourning, Hear us, spare us, and defend. % Though our sins, our hearts confounding, Long and loud for vengeance call, Jesus' blood can cleanse them all; Let that blood our guilt efface ; Save thy people from oppression, Save from spoil thy holy-place. 3 Hear, O God, the vows we render; With our hosts to battle go: And confound the haughty foe : Thine shall be the victor's praise ; And, in holy bonds engaging, We will serve Thee all our days, |
