HYMNS OF WORSHIP.

1

A

HYMN 703, C. M.

Christ's Presence sought in the Sanctuary.
GAIN our earthly cares we leave,
And to thy courts repair;
Again with joyful feet we come,
To meet our Saviour here.

2 Great Shepherd of thy people, hear!
Thy presence now display;

We bow within thy house of prayer;
Oh! give us hearts to pray.

3 The clouds which vail thee from our sight,
In pity, Lord, remove:

Dispose our minds to hear aright
The message of thy love.

4 The feeling heart, the melting eye,
The humble mind bestow;

And shine upon us from on high,
To make our graces grow.

5 Show us some token of thy love,
Our fainting hope to raise;
And pour thy blessing from above,
That we may render praise.

Sabbath Invocation.

REAT God! this sacred day of thine
Demands the soul's collected powers;

With joy we now to thee resign

These solemn consecrated hours:

Oh! may our souls adoring own

The grace that calls us to thy throne.

mp 2 All-seeing God! thy piercing eye
Can every secret thought explore;
May worldly cares our bosoms fly,

And where thou art intrude no more:
Oh! may thy grace our spirits move,
And fix our minds on things above,
mp 3 Thy Spirit's powerful aid impart,

And bid thy word, with life divine,
Engage the ear, and warm the heart;
Then shall the day indeed be thine;
Then shall our souls adoring own
The grace that calls us to thy throne.
HYMN 705, C. M.
"We praise thee, O God."

10 GOD! we praise thee, and confess

That thou the only Lord

And everlasting Father art,
By all the earth adored.

mf 2 To thee all angels cry aloud;
To thee the powers on high,
Both cherubim and seraphim,
Continually do cry:

mf 3 0 holy, holy, holy Lord,

Whom heavenly hosts obey,
The world is with the glory filled
Of thy majestic sway!

4 The apostles' glorious company,
And prophets crowned with light,
With all the martyrs' noble host,
Thy constant praise recite.

5 The holy Church throughout the world,
O Lord! confesses thee,

That thou th' eternal Father art,
Of boundless majesty.

HYMN 706, 10s and 11s.

The majesty and goodness of God.

mf 1 OH! worship the King, all-glorious above; Oh! gratefully sing his power and love. Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. mf 2 Oh! tell of his might, oh! sing of his grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space!

dol

His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form,

And dark is his path on the wings of the storm. dol 3 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light,

It streams from the hills, it descends to the plains,

And sweetly distils in the dew and the rains. mp 4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end! Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

HYMN 707, 8s and 7s.

Ceaseless Praise.

EASELESS praise be to the Father,
By whose power and grace we live;
Who, our wayward souls to gather,
Did his Well-belovéd give.

2 To the Son be praise unending,
Who, our ruined souls to save,
From his heavenly throne descending,
Hasted to the cross and grave.

3 To the Holy Spirit render

Grateful, everlasting praise,

Who, long striving, patient, tender,
Waits our souls from death to raise.

4 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
"One Jehovah, we adore;
May we all thy peace inherit,
Saved by thee for evermore.

HYMN 708, L. M.

God is here.

TO! God is here! let us adore,

And own how dreadful is this place;

Let all within us feel his power,

And silent bow before his face..

2 Lo! God is here! Him, day and night,
The united choirs of angels sing;

To him, enthroned above all height,

Heaven's hosts their noblest praises oring.

3 Being of beings! may our praise
Thy courts with grateful fragrance fill;
Still may we stand before thy face;

Joyful Adoration.

GLORY to God the Father be,
Glory to God the Son,

Glory to God the Holy Ghost,
Glory to God alone.

2 My soul doth magnify the Lord,
My spirit doth rejoice

In God, my Saviour and my God;
I hear his joyful voice.

3 I need not go abroad for joy,
Who have a feast at home;
My sighs are turned into songs,
The Comforter is come.

4 Down from on high the blessed Dove
Is come into my breast;
To witness God's eternal love;
This is my heavenly feast.

HYMN 711, C. M.

After Sermon.

1 ALMIGHTY God, thy word is cast,

into the ground;

Let now the dew of heaven descend,
And righteous fruits abound.

2 Let not the foe of Christ and man
This holy seed remove;
But give it root in every heart,
To bring forth fruits of love.
3 Let not the world's deceitful cares
The rising plant destroy;
But let it yield, a hundredfold,
The fruits of peace and joy.

4 Oft as the precious seed is sown,
Thy quickening grace bestow,

That all, whose souls the truth receive,
Its saving power may know.

HYMN 712, 7s.

Close of Evening Service.

1 FOR the mercies of the day,

For this rest upon our way,
Thanks to thee alone be given,
Lord of earth and King of heaven.

2 Cold our services have been,
Mingled every prayer with sin;
But thou canst and wilt forgive:
By thy grace alone we live.

3 While this thorny path we tread,
May thy love our footsteps lead;
When our journey here is past,
May we rest with thee at last.
4 Let these earthly Sabbaths prove.
Foretastes of our joys above;
While their steps thy children bend
To the rest which knows no end.
