HYMN 223. (P. M. CASTLETON.) * For deliverance from sin, the leprosy of the soul. 1 LORD! whose grace, in power excelling, Cleansed the leper's stain away, Look from heaven, thy holy dwelling, Help us, hear us, when we pray. 2 From the filth of sin and folly, From unhallow'd passion's rage, 3 From the lusts, whose deep pollutions HYMN 224. (C. M. CONDESCENSION.) Love to the creature dangerous. 1 How vain are all things here below! Each pleasure has its poison too, 2 The brightest things below the sky We should suspect some danger nigh, * Matt. viii. 2, 3. Y 3 Our dearest joys, and nearest friends, How they distract our wavering minds, 4 The fondness of a creature's love, 5 Lord Jesus! let thy glories be Oh! draw our hearts and thoughts to Thee, HYMN 225. (C. M. BIRMINGHAM.) For Sunday-school children. 1 HEAR, Lord! the song of praise and prayer, 2 Thanks for thy day, and for thy word! Thy holy Sabbaths more. 3 Thanks that we hear; but oh! impart That we may listen with the heart, 4 For if vain thoughts the mind engage What hope that, at our tender age, 5 Much hope-if Thou our spirits take 6 Wisdom and bliss thy word bestows, A sun that ne'er declines; And be thy mercy shower'd on those, HYMN 226.

To God alone your praises bring; CHORUS.-Congregation and Children. 4 Lord! bid this work of love Thus shall the praise resound to Thee, HYMN 227. (C. M. MANCHESTER.) The unity of the church in heaven and earth. 2 One family, we dwell in Him; 3 One army of the living God, Part of the host have cross'd the flood, 4 Ten thousand to their endless home away; And we are to the margin come, And soon must launch as they. 5 Lord Jesus! be our constant guide; Then when the word is given, Bid death's cold flood its waves divide, And land us safe in heaven. HYMN 228. (C. M. UNIVERSITY.) The fruitlessness of a dead faith. 1 DELUDED Souls! that dream of heaven, 2 Vain are our fancies, airy flights, None but a living faith unites To Christ, our living Head :3 A faith that changes all the heart, And works by active love; That bids all sinful joys depart, And lifts the thoughts above. 4 When from the curse God sets us free, He makes us pure within; Nor sends his blessed Son to be The minister of sin.
