Born in the image of his Son,
A new peculiar race.

3 The Spirit, like some heavenly wind,
Breathes on the sons of flesh;
Creates anew the carnal mind,
And forms the man afresh.

mf 4 Our quickened souls awake, and rise,
From the long sleep of death;
On heavenly things we fix our eyes,
And praise employs our breath.

HYMN 221, 6s and 4s.

Invocation.

COME, thou almighty King!

Help us thy name to sing,
Help us to praise:

Father! all-glorious,

O'er all victorious,

Come, and reign over us,
Ancient of days!

2 Come, thou incarnate Word!

Gird on thy mighty sword;
Our prayer attend:

Come, and thy people bless,
And give thy word success;
Spirit of holiness!

On us descend.

3 Come, holy Comforter!
Thy sacred witness bear,

In this glad hour:

Thou, who almighty art,
Now rule in every heart,
And ne'er from us depart,
Spirit of power!

4 To the great One in Three,

The highest praises be,
Hence evermore!

His sovereign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity

The wonders of thy praise.

FATHER of glory! to thy name

Immortal praise we give,

Who dost an act of grace proclaim,
And bid us rebels live.

Who makes thine anger cease;
Our lives he ransomed with his own,
And died to make our peace.

mf 3 To thine almighty Spirit be
Immortal glory given;

Whose influence brings us near to thee,
And trains us up for heaven.

4 Let men, with their united voice,
Adore th' eternal God,

And spread his honors and their joys,
Through nations far abroad.

One general song to raise;

In harmony and praise.

HYMN 224, L. M.

Prayer to the Trinity:

FATHER of heaven! whose love profound

A ransom for our souls hath found,-
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy pard'ning love extend.
2 Almighty Son-incarnate Word-
Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord!
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy saving grace extend.
3 Eternal Spirit! by whose breath
The soul is raised from sin and death,-
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
To us thy quickening power extend.
4 Jehovah!-Father, Spirit, Son!—
Mysterious Godhead-Three in One!
Before thy throne we sinners bend;
Grace, pardon, life to us extend.

HYMN 225, 6s and 4s.

Prayer to the Triune Jehovah.

1 THOU! whose almighty word
Chaos and darkness heard,
And took their flight,-
Hear us, we humbly pray,
And, where the gospel's day
Sheds not its glorious ray,
"Let there be light!"

2 Thou! who didst come to bring,
On thy redeeming wing,
Healing and sight,-
Health to the sick in mind,
Sight to the inly blind,-
Oh! now to all mankind,
"Let there be light!"
3 Spirit of truth and love,
Life-giving holy Dove!
Speed forth thy flight:

f

Move on the waters' face,
Bearing the lamp of grace,
And, in earth's darkest place,
"Let there be light!"

Most glorious Trinity,-
Wisdom, Love, Might!
Boundless as ocean's tide
Rolling in fullest pride,
O'er the earth, far and wide-
"Let there be light!"

HYMN 226, L. M.

Praise to the Father, Son and Spirit.

BLEST be the Father and his love,

To which celestial source, we owe

Rivers of endless joy above,

And rills of comfort here below.
2 Glory to thee, great Son of God!
From whose dear wounded body rolls
A precious stream of vital blood-

Pardon and life for dying souls.
3 We give thee, sacred Spirit! praise,
Who, in our hearts of sin and woe,
Mak'st living springs of grace arise,
And into boundless glory flow.

4 Thus God the Father,-God the Son,-
And God the Spirit, we adore ;-
That sea of life and love unknown,
Without a bottom, or a shore.

Christians praising the Trinity.

GR

Christian fellowship, how sweet,

When, their theme of praise the same,
They exalt Jehovah's name!

2 Sing we then eternal love,

Such as did the Father move;—

He beheld the world undone,

Loved the world, and gave his Son.

mf 3 Sing the Son's unbounded love;— How he left the realms above,

[ocr errors]
[blocks in formation]

Took our nature and our place,
Lived and died to save our race.

4 Sing we too the Spirit's love ;—
With our stubborn hearts he strove,
Chased the mists of sins away,
Turned our night to glorious day.

5 Great the joy, the union sweet,
When the saints in glory meet!
Where the theme is still the same;
Where they praise Jehovah's name.

Communion with the Triune God.

m 1 IN thy presence we appear

Lord! we love to worship here,
When, within the veil, we meet
Thee upon thy mercy-seat.

Touch our lips, and loose our tongue;
Then our joyful souls shall bless
Thee, the Lord, our righteousness.

3 While to thee our prayers ascend,
Let thine ear in love attend;
Hear us, for thy Spirit pleads;
Hear, for Jesus intercedes.

4 While thy word is heard with awe,
And we tremble at thy law,
Let the gospel's wondrous love
Every doubt and fear remove.
5 While thy ministers proclaim
Peace and pardon through thy name,
In their voices, let us own
Jesus, speaking from the throne.

6 From thy house when we return,
Let our hearts within us burn;
That, at evening, we may say,
"We have walked with God to-day."
