5 Help us our steps to order right: And give us grace to watch and pray, 6 Then may we close our eyes in death, (C. M. SUBMISSION.) Every good and perfect gift is from God. 3 The poor returns that sinners make 4 Oh! let it then our glory be, In time, and to eternity, To owe Thee more and more. The Lord's Prayer. 1 FATHER of all! to Thee we bow, Who dwell'st in heaven adored, * 1 Jam. i. 17. M +1 Chron. xxix. 14. But present still through all thy works, The universal Lord. 2 For ever hallow'd be thy name And may thy kingdom still advance 3 To Thee, O Father! may each heart 4 Give us each day our daily bread: As we our brother's faults forgive, 5 Direct our life, and guard our feet Lest in temptation's fatal path 6 Thine is the power, the kingdom thine, HYMN 77. (C. M. TRURO.) The prayer of Jabez. 1 Chron. iv. 9, 10. 1 JESUS, who bought us with his blood, And makes our souls his care, Was known of old as Israel's God, And answer'd Jabez's prayer. 2 Teach us, O Lord! like him, to plead For mercies from above: O come, and bless our souls indeed 3 The Gospel's promised land is wide; But we are press'd on every side 4 Arise, O Lord! enlarge our coast; 5 Oh! may thy hand be with us still; 6 Help us on Thee to cast our care, HYMN 78. (C. M. BROMSGROVE.) Joy in heaven over the penitent sinner. Luke xv. 6. 7. I WHEN his lost sheep the Shepherd finds, He calls his friends around: "Rejoice with me, my friends," He cries, 66 My wandering sheep is found." 2 Far more exalted joys arise, 3 The saints on earth in songs of praise 5 The reconciled Father joys 6 Lord! we like sheep have gone astray; Restore us to thy fold: And there, that we no more may rove, HYMN 79. (L. M. PANCRAS.) For a fast-day. 1 O MAY the power which melts the rock Be felt by all assembled here! Or else our service will but mock That God, whom we profess to fear. 2 How long hath He bestow'd his care On this indulged, ungrateful land! How oft, in times of danger near, Preserved us by his sovereign hand! 3 Here peace and liberty have dwelt; The glorious Gospel brightly shone; And oft our mightiest foes have felt That God has made our cause his own. 4 But ah! both heaven and earth have heard Our vile requital of his love: We, whom like children He has rear'd, 5 See! He uplifts his chastening rod;- HYMN 80. (C. M. ST. JAMES's.) In times of national distress. For this our sinful land. 2 Oh! may we all, with one consent, With tears the nation's sins lament, 3 Ye saints! unite in wrestling prayer, Who knows, but mercy yet may spare, 4 Great God of hosts! deliverance bring: Guide those who rule the helm ; 1 Chron. xii. 32. † 2 Sam. xxiv. 16. |
