From dark temptation's power, -Thus humbly taught to pray Hymn 111. 1 COME holy Spirit, heav?nly Dove, u 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." At this poor dying rate; And thine to us so great ? The King's his sand see and prayujah! 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. 1 W 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. Praise ye the Lord. Hallelujah! 4 My willing soul would stay In such a frame as this ;: * HYMN 113. Of thy salvation, Lord ! Yet still how weak our faith is found, How slow to learn thy word ! Yet hear almost in vain; Our languid powers retain. How negligent our fear ; How few affections there! To give thy word success; And deep its truths impress. That leads to joys on high ; And love shall never die. Hymn 114. 1 H EAR, Lord, the song of praise and prayer, In heaven thy dwelling-place, From children made the public care, And taught to seek thy face. 2 Thanks for thy word, and for thy day! And grant us, we implore, Never to waste, in sinful play, Thy holy sabbaths more. 3 Thanks that we hear: but oh! imparti To each desires sincere, And learn as well as hear. Beneath thy gracious sway, Who canst the wisest wiser make, And babes as wise as they. A sun that ne'er declines; Hymn 115. 1 CREAT God! this sacred day of thine u Demands the soul's collected powers :: Gladly may we to Thee resign wir These solemn, consecrated hours; . Where God resides, disturb no more : Can every secret thought explore : Oh! may thy grace our bosoms move, And fix our thoughts on things above. 3 Thy Spirit's powerful aid impart, in And bid thy word, with life divine, Engage the ear and warm the heart ; Then shall the day indeed be thine; Then shall our souls, adoring own, Tlie grace, that calls us to thy throne. HYMN 116. 1 QLORIOUS things of Thee are spoken, a Zion, City of our God ! He, whose word can ne'er be broken, Form'd thee for his own abode : On the rock of ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose ? With salvation's walls surrounded, 'Thou art safe from all thy foes. Springing from eternal love, Anil all dread of want remove: Freely pours, their thirst t'assuage, Blessings which, like God, the Giver, Never fail from age to age. 3 Saviour ! if in Zion's city T'hou record our worthless name, Let the world deride or pity, We may well endure the shame; Fading is the sinner's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and shew : Solid joy and lasting treasure, None but Zion's children know. |
