HYMN 107.

1 HOW swift the torrent rolls,

That hastens to the sea;

How strong the tide that bears our souls
On-to eternity!

2 Our fathers, where are they?
With all they call'd their own;

[ocr errors]

Their joys and griefs, and hopes and cares,
And wealth and honour, gone!

3 There, where the fathers lie,
Must all the children dwell;
Nor other heritage possess,
But such a gloomy cell.

4 God of our fathers, hear,

Thou everlasting Friend!

While we, on life's extremest verge,

Our souls to Thee commend.'

5 Of all the pious dead

May we the footsteps trace,

A

Till with them in the land of light
We dwell before thy face.

HYMN 108.

[ocr errors]

ALMIGHTY Father of mankind,
On Thee my hopes remain ;

And when the day of trouble comes,
I shall not trust in vain.

[ocr errors][ocr errors]

2 In early years Thou wast my guide,
And of my youth the friend;
And as my days began with Thee,
With Thee my days shall end.

3 I know the power in whom I trust,
The arm on which I lean;
He will my Saviour ever be,
Who has my Saviour been.

4 My God! who caused'st me to hope, When life began to beat;

And when a stranger in the world,
Didst guide my wandering feet.

5 Thou wilt not cast me off, when age And evil days descend;

Thou wilt not leave me in despair,
To mourn my latter end.

6 Therefore, in life I'll trust to Thee, In death I will adore ;

And after death will sing thy praise,
When time shall be no more.

HYMN 109.

1 AWAKE, and sing the song

Of Moses and the Lamb!

Wake every heart, and every tongue, To praise the Saviour's name!!

2 Sing of his dying love,

Sing of his rising power:

Sing how He intercedes above,
For us whose sins He bore.

3 Ye pilgrims on the road
To Zion's city, sing!
Rejoice ye in the Lamb of God,
In Christ the' eternal King!

4 Soon shall we hear him say,
"Ye blessed children, come !"
Soon will He call us hence away,
To our eternal home.

5 There shall our raptured tongue
His endless praise proclaim;
And sweeter voices tune the song
Of Moses and the Lamb!

HYMN 110.

1OUR heavenly Father, here
The prayer we offer now:

Thy name be hallow'd far and near,
To Thee all nations bow;
Thy kingdom come; thy will
On earth be done in love,
As saints and seraphim fulfil
Thy perfect law above.

2 Our daily bread supply,
While by thy word we live;
The guilt of our iniquity
Forgive, as we forgive :,

From dark temptation's power,
From Satan's wiles defend;
Deliver in the evil hour,
And guide us to the end.

3 Thine, then, for ever be
Glory and power divine;

The sceptre, throne, and majesty
Of heaven and earth are thine.
-Thus humbly taught to pray
By thy beloved Son,

Through Him, we come to Thee, and say,
All for His sake be done.

HYMN 111.

COME

OME holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove,
With all thy quick'ning pow'rs;

Kindle a flame of sacred love

In these cold hearts of ours.

2 Look how we grovel here below,
Fond of these trifling toys;
Our souls can neither fly nor go,
To reach eternal joys.

3 In vain we tune our formal songs,
In vain we strive to rise;
Hosannas languish on our tongues,
And our devotion dies.

4 Dear Lord! and shall we ever live,
At this poor dying rate;

Our love so faint, so cold to thee,
And thine to us so great?

5 Come, holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove,
With all thy quick'ning pow'rs;
Come shed abroad a Saviour's love,
And that shall kindle ours.

HYMN 112.

ELCOME sweet day of rest,
That saw the Lord arise;

Welcome to this reviving breast,
And these rejoicing eyes.

Praise ye the Lord. Hallelujah!

2 The King himself comes near, And feasts his saints to day;

Here we may

sit and see him here, And love, and praise, and pray. Praise ye the Lord. Hallelujah!

3 One day amidst the place,

Where our dear Lord hath been, Is sweeter than ten thousand days, Of pleasureable sin.

[ocr errors]

Praise ye the Lord. Hallelujah!

4 My willing soul would stay In such a frame as this;

And sit and sing herself away,

To everlasting bliss...
Praise ye the Lord

Hallelujah!

HYMN 113.

1 LONG have we heard the joyful sound Of thy salvation, Lord!
