Where storms ne'er beat, nor billows roar,
Beneath thy peaceful reign.

HYMN 169.

(L. M. CAREY.)
A morning hymn.

soul! and with the sun

Thy daily stage of duty run; Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise To pay thy morning sacrifice. 2 Thy talents to improve take care; For the great day thyself prepare; Redeem thy mispent moments past, And live this day as 'twere thy last. 3 Glory to God, who safe hath kept, And hath refresh'd me, while I slept; Grant, Lord! when I from death awake, I may of endless life partake.

4 Direct, control, suggest, this day,
All I design, or do, or say;

That all my powers, with all their might,
In thy sole glory may unite.

5 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow !
Praise Him, all creatures here below!
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host!
Fraise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

HYMN 170.

(L. M. BRENTWOOD.)

An evening hymn.

1 GLORY to Thee, my God! this night, For all the blessings of the light;

Keep me, oh! keep me, King of kings,
Beneath thine own Almighty wings.

2 Forgive me, Lord! through thy dear Son, The sins that I this day have done;

That with the world, myself, and Thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.

3 Teach me to live, that I may may dread
The grave, as little as my bed;
Teach me to die, that so I may
With joy behold the judgment-day,
4 Oh! may my soul on Thee repose,
And peaceful sleep my eyelids close;
Sleep that may me more active make
To serve my God, when I awake!

5 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him, all creatures here below!
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host!
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

1 HE, who the earth's foundation laid, Is now a little infant made;

The Son of God, who framed the skies, Now humbly in a manger lies.

2 The Eternal and Almighty God

Assumes our "sinful flesh" and blood;
Stoops down from heaven with man to dwell,
Is God with us,† Emmanuel.

3 To purchase pardon, hope, and rest,
He bares to wrath his sinless breast,
And opens through his woes, the way,
To life and everlasting day.

4 For us these wonders He hath wrought,
To mark his love, surpassing thought;
Oh let us all unite and sing
Praise to our Saviour, God, and King.

HYMN 172.

(P. M. SIMEON.)

Jesus the deliverer of his people.
1 COME, Thou long expected Jesus!
Born to set thy people free:
From our sins and fears release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.

Rom. viii. 3. + Matt. i. 23.

2 Israel's Strength and Consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art :
Fond desire of every nation,
Joy of every contrite heart!
3 Come, thy children to deliver,
Born a Child, and yet a King:
Come to reign in us for ever,
Now thy gracious kingdom bring.
4 By thine own Eternal Spirit,
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to thy glorious throne.

1 O SAVIOUR! whom this holy morn Gave to our world below;

To wandering and to labour born,
To weakness and to woe:-

2 Emmanuel! who, by every grief,
By each temptation tried,

Hast lived to yield our wants relief,
And, to redeem us, died!

3 If, gaily cloth'd and proudly fed,
In careless ease we dwell;
Remind us of thy manger-bed,
And lowly cottage-cell.

4. If, press'd by penury severe,
In envious want we pine,

May conscience whisper in our ear,
lot was thine!

5 From all the viewless snares of sin,
Preserve us firm and free;
As Thou like us hast tempted been,
May we rejoice with Thee,

HYMN 174.

(P. M. WALTHAM.)

Jesus humbled and exalted for sinners.

1 LORD of mercy and of might! Of mankind the life and light! Master! Teacher! Infinite!

Jesus! hear and save,

2 Who, when sin's primeval doom Gave creation to the tomb,

Didst not scorn the Virgin's womb;

Jesus! hear and save.

3 Mighty God! Redeemer mild! Humbled to a mortal child! Captive, beaten, bound, reviled !

Jesus! hear and save.

4 Throned above celestial things,
Borne aloft on angels' wings,
Lord of lords! and King of kings!

Jesus! hear and save.

5 Soon to come to earth again, Judge of angels and of men! Hear us now, and hear us then,

Jesus! hear and save.
