826

At times, to faith's far-seeing eye,
Thy golden gates appear!

4 "Forever with the Lord!”

Father, if 'tis thy will,

The promise of that faithful word,
E'en here to me fulfill.

5 So, when my latest breath

Shall rend the vail in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.

6 That resurrection word!
That shout of victory!

Once more "Forever with the Lord!"
Amen! so let it be!

HYMN 826, 8s and 7s.
Longings for Heaven.

TIME, thou speedest on but slowly
Hours, how tardy is your pace!
Ere with Him the high and holy

I hold converse face to face.

2 Here is nought but care and mourning;
Comes a joy, it will not stay;
Fairly shines the sun at dawning,
Night will soon o'ercloud the day.
3 Onward then! not long I wander
Ere my Saviour comes for me,
And with him abiding yonder,
All his glory I shall see.

4 Oh! the music and the singing
Of the host redeemed by love!
Oh! the hallelujahs ringing
Through the halls of light abɔve!

PSALMS.

PSALM XXIII. C. M.

THE Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want;

He makes me down to lie

In pastures green: he leadeth me
The quiet waters by.

2 My soul he doth restore again,
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
E'en for his own name's sake.

3 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
Yet will I fear no ill;

For thou art with me, and thy rod
And staff me comfort still.

4 My table thou hast furnished
In presence of my foes;

My head thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.

5 Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me;

1

And in God's house for evermore
My dwelling-place shall be.

PSALM XLIII. C. M.

OH! send thy light forth, and thy truth;

Let them be guides to me;

And bring me to thy holy hill,
E'en where thy dwellings be.

2 Then will I to God's altar go,
To God, my chiefest joy;

Yea, God, my God, thy name to praise,
My harp I will employ.

3 Why art thou then cast down, my soul?
What should discourage thee?

And why with vexing thoughts art thou
Disquieted in me?

4 Still trust in God; for him to praise
Good cause I yet shall have;

He of my countenance is the health,
My God that doth me save.

PSALM C. L. M.

1 ALL people that on earth do dwell,

Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice,
Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell,
Come ye before him and rejoice.

2 Know that the Lord is God indeed;
Without our aid he did us make;
We are his flock; he doth us feed,

And for his sheep he doth us take.
3 Oh! enter, then, his gates with praise,
Approach with joy his courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless his name always,
For it is seemly so to do.

4 For why? the Lord our God is good,
His mercy is forever sure;

His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.

[ocr errors]

PSALM CXVI. C. M.

LOVE the Lord, because my voice
And prayers he did hear

I, while I live, will call on him,

Who bowed to me his ear.

2 Of death the cords and sorrows did
About me compass round;

[ocr errors]

The pains of hell took hold on me,
I grief and trouble found.

3 Upon the name of God the Lord,
Then did I call, and say,
Deliver thou my soul, O Lord,
I do thee humbly pray.

4 God merciful and righteous is,
Yea, gracious is our Lord;

God saves the meek: I was brought low;

He did me help afford.

5 I'll of salvation take the cup,

On God's name will I call;

I'll pay my vows now to the Lord,
Before his people all.

6 Within the courts of God's own house;

Within the midst of thee

O city of Jerusalem,

Praise to the Lord give ye.

DISMISSIONS.

1 DISM

HYMN 831, L. M.

ISMISS us with thy blessing, Lord!
Help us to feed upon thy word;

All that has been amiss forgive,
And let thy truth within us live.

2 Though we are guilty, thou art good,-
Wash all our works in Jesus' blood;
Give every burdened soul release,
And bid us all depart in peace.

HYMN 832, 8s, 7s, and 4s.

1 LORD! dismiss us with thy blessing
Fill our hearts with joy and peace:
Let us all, thy love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace:
Oh! refresh us—

Traveling through this wilderness.
2 Thanks we give, and adoration,
For thy gospel's joyful sound;
Let the fruits of thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound;
May thy presence

With us evermore be found.
3 So, whene'er the signal's given,
Ús from earth to call away
Borne on angels' wings to heaven,
Glad to leave this cumbrous clay,
May we ever

1

Reign with Christ in endless day.

MAY

HYMN 833, 8s and 7s.

AY the grace of Christ our Saviour,
And the Father's boundless love,

With the Holy Spirit's favor,
Rest upon us from above.

Let us thus abide in union

With each other and the Lord,

And possess, in sweet communion,

Joys which earth cannot afford.

HYMN 834, 8s, 7s, and 4s.
OD of our salvation, hear us,

GOD

Bless, O bless us, ere we go;
When we join the world, be near us,
Lest thy people careless grow;
Saviour, keep us,

Keep us safe from every fọe.

2 While our days on earth are lengthened,
May we give them, Lord, to thee;
Cheered by hope, and daily strengthened,
May we run, nor weary be,

Till thy glory

Without clouds in heaven we see.
