Yet still how weak our faith is found," 2 Oft we frequent thy holy place, Such faint impressions of thy grace, 3 How cold and feeble is our love! How low our hopes of joys above; 4 Great God! thy sovereign aid impart, 5 Oh! speed our progress in the way HYMN 114. 1 HEAR, Lord, the song of praise and prayer, In heaven thy dwelling-place, From children made the public care, 2 Thanks for thy word, and for thy day! Never to waste, in sinful play, 3 Thanks that we hear: but oh! impart To each desires sincere, That we may listen with the heart, 4 O Lord! do Thou our spirits take 5 Wisdom and bliss thy word bestows, And be thy mercy shower'd on those, HYMN 115. 1 GREAT God! this sacred day of thine Demands the soul's collected powers: Gladly may we to Thee resign These solemn, consecrated hours; 2 Hence ye vain cares and trifles, fly! 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, And bid thy word, with life divine, Engage the ear and warm the heart; G Then shall the day indeed be thine; Then shall our souls, adoring own Tlie grace, that calls us to thy throne. 1 GLO HYMN 116.. LORIOUS things of Thee are spoken, 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? 2 Here the stream of living waters, 3 Saviour! if in Zion's city HYMN 117. THROUGH all the changing scenes of life, Still shall the praises of my God, 2 Of his deliverance I will boast, 3 Come magnify the Lord with me; 4 Oh! make but trial of his love: How bless'd are they, and only they, 5 Fear Him, ye saints, and ye will then Make ye his service your delight, HYMN 118. 1 REJOICE! the Lord is King! Your God and King adore: Loud hallelujahs sing, And triumph evermore: Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice; Rejoice, ye saints of God, rejoice! 2 The mighty Saviour reigns; Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice; 3 His kingdom cannot fail; He rules o'er earth and heaven: Into his hands are given : 4 Rejoice in glorious hope And take his servants up To their eternal home: We soon shall hear the' archangel's voice; The trump of God shall sound, "Rejoice!" HYMN 119. 1 HAPPY the heart where graces reign, Where love inspires the breast: Love is the brightest of the train, 3 Knowledge, alas! 'tis all in vain, Our stubborn sins will fight and reign, 3 'Tis love, that makes our cheerful feet |
