ought to have done, And we have done those things
which we ought not to have done ; And there is no

miserable offenders. Spare thou them, O God, who
confess their faults. Eostore thou them who are pen-

kind in Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, most
merciful Father, for his sake, that we may hereafter
live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of
thy holy Name. Amen.

^ Any of the following: Prayers may be omitted at the]^discretion
of the Superintendent).

Blessed Lord, who hast caused all holy Scriptures
to be written for our learning, grant that we may in
such wise hear them, read, mark, learn, and inward-
ly digest them, that by patience and comfort of thy
holy Word we may embrace and ever hold fast the
blessed hope of evcx'lasting life, which thou hast
given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen

Almighty and most merciful God, accept our gra-
titude for all the blessings of this sacred Day, and
especially for the privileges here afforded us. As-
sembled as we are for the purpose of instructing and
being instructed in thy most holy truth, we humbly
invoke thy blessing that herein thy name may be mag-
nified, thy Son made known, and thy Church edified
and increased. Look down in favor, we beseech thee,
on the Superintendent and all other officers of this
school. Illuminate them by thy Holy Spirit, and en-
able them with singleness of heart to consult only
those things which are excellent and which min-
ister to the well-being of the School.

LITURGY.

To those appointed to teach give thine especial
grace, that they may themselves oe deeply taught in
thy truth and thus able to minister to others in the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. Fill their hearts with thy
love, and strengthen them this day loyally and affec-
tionately to uplift the Redeemer as the Way, the
Truth, and the Life.

Make them wise to win souls, patient amid all dis-
couragements, and willing to spend and be spent for
the salvation of those entrusted to their care through
Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen,

Look graciously also on all these scholars here pre-
sent, and as, when Thou wert on earth. Thou didst
take the little ones up into Thine arms and bless
them, so now we beseech Thee take all these dear
children into Thine arms and bless them to-day, for
we know that they whom Thou blessest are blessed
indeed.

Eemove all listlessness and inattention from them,
make them glad to hear, and willing to receive the
words of instruction spoken, and above all, filling
them with Thyself, make them to grow up as wit-
nesses of Thy truth and examples of the grace of
God.

Bless him whom Thou hast set over us in this
Thy house. Make him a true and faithful shepherd,
able rightly to divide the word of God.

May the knowledge of Thy Gospel be spread ^
through all nations. Have pity on the multitudes
who are destitute of the privileges we enjoy. Be
merciful to the heathen, who know Thee not, and the

Eeople who call not on Thy name, that they may
ear Thy truth, and turn to Thee and live. Graciously
hear our prayers, accept our praises, and bless us io

all our works, boL'un, continued,. and ondod in Thee,
for the sake of Jesus Christ our Saviour.

The Lord's prayer shall then be repeated after the Superinten-
dent.

Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy
Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in
I earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily
bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive
them that trespass against us. And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the
Kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever.
Amen.

THE ORDER FOR CLOSING SCHOOL.

After the singing of a Hymn the Superintendent shall say :
The Lord be with you.
Children. — And with thy spirit.
Superintendent. — Let us pray.

At the close of our school, we look to Thee, our
heavenly Father, for Thy blessing to rest upon the
[instruction which has now been given. "Without Thy
blessing, nothing can prosper. Paul may plant, and
ApoUos water, but Thou alone canst give the increase.
We desire to commit to Thy gracious care and keep-
ing each one of our dear scholars. They need a
fuide ; they need a keeper. take them, we beseech
hee, under Thy Fatherly care and protection. Hold
[them in the hollow of Thy hand. Keep them as the
apple of Thine eye. Preserve them from all the
snares and temptations and sins that are in the
world. Help them to make Thy blessed Word the
guide of their youth. Help them to carry out into

LITURGY.

daily practice the lessons they are here taught.
When they go up to the sanctuary, nmy they remem-
ber that *• Thou God, scest them." When thej'^go to
their homes, may they shew by obedience to their
parents, and by kindness and tenderness to all around
them, that they are really made better by the study
of Thy Word. May they tread in the blessed steps of
Thy most holy life, O Lord, our Saviour I Like Thee
may they increase in wisdom and stature, and in
favour with God and man. And these mercies we
ask in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

OR, *

O merciful God I we make our humble supplications
before thee in behalf of these children, that as by
nature they are all dead in sin, so through Christ
they may all be made alive. Gratit that they,
receiving with all readiness of mind the lessons of
Thy word, may be brought to the knowledge of Thy
grace and faith in Jesus Christ. Grant that all sinful
affections may die in them, and that all things be-
longing to the Spirit may live and grow ia them.
Grant that they may have power and strength to
have victory, and to triuniph against the devil, the
world, and the flesh. Let Thy fatherly hand ever be
over them, to supply their wants for this life, and
let Thy Holy Spirit ever be with them to guide their
feet in the way of Thy commandments, and make
them living members incorporate in Thy holy Church,
and heirs through hope of Thine everlasting kingdom,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love
of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be
with us all evermore. Amen.

not much better than they ?

field, how tliey grow ; they toil not, neither do they spin :

not arrayed like one of these.

30. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is,
and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O
ye of little faith?

shall we drink ? or. Wherewithal shall we be clothed ?

4. And when much people were gathered together, and were come to

6. A sower went out to sow his seed : and as he sowed, some fell by the
way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of tlie air devoured it.

6. And some fell upon a rock ; and as soon as it was sprung up, it
withered away, because it lacked moisture.

7. And some fell among thorns ; and the thorns sprang up with it, and
choked it.

8. And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an
hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath
ears to hear, let him hear.

9. And his disciples asked him, saying. What might this parable be ?

10. And he said. Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the
kingdom of God ; but to others in parables ; that seeing they might not
see, and hearing they might not understand.

11. Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

12. Those by the way side are they that hear ; then cometh the devil,
and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe
and be saved.

13. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word
with joy ; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of
temptation fall away.

14. And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have
heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of
this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

16. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good
heart, having heard the word, keep it, ana bring forth fruit with patience.

which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

3. They that ti>ere foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them :

4. But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5- While the bridegrom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

6. And at midnight there was a cry made. Behold, the bridegroom
cometh ; go ye out to meet him.

7. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

8. And the foolish said unto the wise, Oive us of your oil, -for our lamps
are gone out.

9. But the wise answered, saying, Not so ; lest there be not enough for
us and you : but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

10. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came ; and they thai
were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

11. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying. Lord, Lord, open
to us.

12. But he answered and said. Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

13. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour where-
in the bon of man cometh.

OLD AND NEW YEAR.

One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er,

Nearer my parting hour am I
Than e'er I was before.

S.M.

OLD AND NEW YEAR.

Nearer my Father's house,

Where many mansions be ;
Nearer the throne where Jesus reigns, —

Nearer the crystal sea ;

Nearer my going home,

Laying my burden down,
Leaving my cross of heavy grief,

Wearing my starry crown ;

Nearer that hidden stream.

Winding through shades of night,

Eolling its cold, dark waves between
Me and the world of light.

Jesus ! to Thee I cling :

Strengthen my arm of faith ;
Stay near me while my way-worn feet

Press through the stream of death. Amen.

CM.

The year is gone, beyond recall,

With all its hopes and fears.
With all its bright and gladdening smiles,

With all its mourners' tears ;

Thy thankful people praise Thee, Lord,

For countless gifts received,
And pray for grace to keep the Faith

Which saints of old believed.

To Thee we come, gracious Lord,

The new-born year to bless ;
Defend our land from pestilence.

Give peace and plenteousness ;

OLD AND NEW YEAR,

From evil deeds that stain the past

We now desire to flee ;
And pmy that future years may all

Be spent, good Lord, for Thee.

Father, let thy watchful Eye

Still look on us in love,
That we may praise Thee, year by year,

As angels do above.

J'ESUS ! Name of wondrous love I
Name all other names above !
Unto which must every knee
Bow in deep humility.

Jesus ! Name decreed of old :
To the maiden mother told.
Kneeling in her lowly cell,
By the angel Gabriel.

Jesus ! Name of mercy mild,
Given to the holy child.
When the cup of human woe
First He tasted here below.

Jesus ! only Name that's given
Under all the mighty heaven,
Whereby man, to sin enslaved.
Bursts his fetters, and is saved,

Jesus ! Name of wondrous love !
Human Name of God above :
Pleading only this we flee,
Helpless, our God, to Thee. Amen.

OT4D AND NEW YEAR.

Now a new year opens,

Now we newly turn
To the holy Saviour,

Lessons fresh to learn.

This the holy lesson
On the year's first day,

Jesus by obedience
Teaches to obey.

Of Thy Cross thus early
Tokens Thon dost give ;

By Thy wounds Thou healest,
By Thy death we live.

Not to suffer only,

Jesus, didst Thou come.
But to leave us way-marks

Pointing to our home.

In Thy Blessed footsteps

Ever may we tread,
Safe when keeping near Thee,

By Thy Spirit led. ' Amen.

Cold on His cradle the dew-drops are shining,
Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall !

Angels adore Him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all I

Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion,
Odours of Edom, and offerings divine ;

Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine ?

Vainly we offer each ample oblation ;

Vainly with gold would His favour secure :
Kicher by far is the heart's adoration,

Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning !

Dawn on our darkness, and lend us Thine aid !
Star of the east, the horizon adorning,

Guide where our infant Eedeemer is laid ! Amen.

Great David's greater Son !
Hail, in the time appointed,

His reign on earth begun !

To set the captive free ;
To take away transgression,

And rule in equity.

Kings shall bow down before Him,

And gold and incense bring ;
All nations shall adore Him,

His praise all people sing ;

El'lPHANY.

To Him shall prayer unceasing —

And daily vows ascend ;
His kingdom still increasing,

A kingdom without end.

0*er every foe victorious,

He on His Throne shall rest :
From age to age more glorious,

All-blessing and all-blessed :
The tide of time shall never

His covenant remove ;
His Name shall stand for ever.

His changeless Name of Love. Amen.

71.

As with gladness men of old
Did the guiding star behold ;
As with joy they hailed its light,
Leading onward, beaming bright ;
So, most gracious Lord, may we
Evermore be led to Thee.

As with joyful steps they sped •
To that lowly manger-bed ;
There to bend the knee before
Him Whom heaven and earth adore ;
So may we with willing feet
Ever seek the Mercy-seat.

As they offered gifts most rare
At that manger rude and bare ;
So may we with holy joy,
Pure and free from sin's alloy,
All our costliest treasures bring,
Christ ! to Thee our heavenly King.

EPIPHANY.

Holy Jesus, every day
Keep us in the ijarrow way ;
And, when earthly things are past,
Bring our ransomed souls at last
Where they need no star to guide,
"Where no clouds Thy glory hide.

In the heavenly country bright
Need they no created light ;
Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown,
Thou its Sun which goes not down \
There for ever may we sing
Alleluias to our King. Amen.

" Light of the world ! " we hail Thee,

Flushing the eastern skies.
Never shall darkness veil Thee

Again from human eyes;
Too long, alas I withholden,

Now spread from shore to shore.
Thy light, so glad and golden,

Shall set on earth no more.

"Light of the world !" Thy beauty

Steals into every heart,
And glorifies with duty

Life's poorest, humblest part ;
Thou robest in Thy splendour

The simple ways of men,
And helpest them to render

Light back to Thee again.

Thy sunshine hath no shade.

Does his successive journeys run ;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore.
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.

To Him shall endless prayer be made.
And praises throng to crown His head :
His Name, like sweet perfume, shall rise
With every morning sacrifice.

People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song.
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on His name.

Loud as mighty thunder's roar,
Or the fulness of the sea,

When it breaks upon the shore ;
Hallelujah ! for the Lord

God omnipotent shall reign :
Hallelujah ! let the word

Echo round the earth and main.

Hallelujah ! — hark, the sound.

From the centre to the skies,
Wakes above, beneath, around,

All creation's hannonies :
See Jehovah's banners furled.

Sheathed His sword : He speaks, 'tis done ;
And the kingdoms of this world

Are the kingdoms of His Son.

He shall reign from pole to pole

With illimitable sway ;
He shall reign, when like a scroll

Yonder heavens have passed away ;
Then the end ; — beneath His rod

Man's last enemy shall fall ;
Hallelujah ! Christ in God,

God in Christ is all in all.

Kneeling lowly at the door
Ere it close for evermore.

By Thy tears of bitter woe

Let us not Thy love forego.

Grant us 'neath Thy wings a place,

Lest we lose this day of grace

Ere we shall behold Thy face. Amen.

Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat,
Where Jesus answers prayer ;

Without a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified

Who died to save us all.

What pains He had to bear,

But we believe it was for us
He hung and suffer'd there.

He died that we might be forgiven,
He died to make lis good.

That we might go at last to heaven.
Saved by His precious blood.

There was no other good enough

To pay the price of sin.

Of heaven, and let us in.

And we must love Him too.

And trust in His redeeming blood,
And try His works to do. Amen.

And what temptations round me stand.

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a tribute far too small ;

Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

When, His salvation bringing,

To Ziun Jesus came.
The children all stood singing

Hosanna to His name ; ^
Nor did their zeal oftend Him,

But as He rode along,
He let them still attend Him,

And deign'd to hear their song.
Hosanna to Jesus they sang.

And since the Lord retaineth

His love to children still,
Though now as King He reigneth

On Zion's heavenly hill ;
We'll flock around His banner,

Who sits upon the throne.
And cry aloud, Hosanna

To David's royal Son :

Hosanna to Jesus we'll sing.

LENT.

For should we fail proclaiming
Our great Eedeemer's praise,

The stones, our silence shaming,
Would their hosannas raise.

But shall we only render
The tribute of our words ?

Ko ; while our hearts are tender,
They too shall be the Lord's,
Hosanna to Jesus, our King.

Amen.

Where the angels ever sing

Sing we to our God above
Praise eternal as His love;

CM.

It was early in the morning,
While yet the dawn was grey,

That the angel came from heaven
And roU'd the stone away.

It was early in the morning,
That from his short repose,

Ere the women brought their spices,
The Lord of Life arose.

Then the glorious work was finished,

On Calvary begun ;
Then for us the foe was conquered,

The victory was won.

And death cannot hold a Christian,
He sleeps, but shall awake,

Since our Lord in^eath's dark prison
Has triumph'd for his sake.

♦

Since He burst the prison dreary
And laid his grave clothes by ;

For because our Lord is risen
His children cannot die.

ASCENSION.

Who is this that comes in glory, with the trump of

jubilee ?
Lord of Battles, God of Armies, He has gain'd the

victory !
He who on the Cross did suffer, He. who from the

grave arose,
He has vanquish'd sin and Satan, He by death has

spoil'd His foes.

While He raised His hands in blessing, He was
parted from His friends ;

While their eager eyes behold Him, He upon the
clouds ascends.

He who walk'd with God, and pleased Him, preach-
ing truth and doom to come,

He, our Enoch, is translated to His everlasting home.

Now our heavenly Aaron enters with His blood

within the veil :
Joshua now is come to Canaan, and the kings before

Him quail ;
Now IJe plants the tribes of Israel in their promised

resting-place :
Now our great Elijah offers double portion of His

grace.

Thou hast raised our human nature on the clouds to

God's right hand ;
There we sit in heavenly places, there with Thee in

glory stand :
Jesus reigns, adored by Angels ; Man with God is

on the Throne ;
Mighty Lord, in thine Ascension we by faith behold

our own. Amen.

ASCSKSION.

D.S.M.

Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne ;

Hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but its own :
With His most precious Blood
From sin He set us free :

We hail Him as our matchless King
Through all eternity.

Crown Him, the Lord of Love ;

Behold His hands and side,
Rich wouiids, yet visible above

In beauty glorified ;

'No angel in the sky

Can fully bear that 3ight,
But downward bends his burning eye •

At mysteries so bright.

Crown Him, the Lord of Peace :
Whose power a sceptre sways -

From pole to pole, that wars may cease,
And all be prayer and praise :
His reign shall know no end.
And round His piercM feet

Fair flowers of Paradise extend
Their fragrance ever sweet.

ASCENSION.

Crown Him, the Lord of years,

The Potentate of time,
Creator of the rolling spheres,

Ineffably sublime ;

All hail. Redeemer, hail !

For Thou hast died for me ;
Thy praise shall never, never fail

Throughout eternity. Amen.

Christ has ascended up again

Unto His heavenly place ;
And we must wait a little while,

Before we see His face :

As sometimes on a summer's day,
The gathering winds grow loud ;

And for awhile the great round sun
Is hid behind a cloud.

And where our Lord is gone before

There shall we one day be ;
When Christ shall come and gather all

His own by land and sea.

Then often should our hearts look up

To heaven so high and fair,
And think about that blessed place,

Since we are going there.

Look through thy cloud, ascended Lord,

And lead Thy children on ;
That we may learn to love and seek

The Heaven where Thou art gone.

WHITSUNTIDE.

Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed

His tender last farewell,
A guide, a comforter, bequeathed

With us to dwell.

P.M.

He came sweet influence to impart, -

A gracious willing guest.
While He can find one humble heart

Wherein to rest.

And His that gentle voice we hear,

Soft as the breath of even,
That checks each thought, that calms each fear,

And speaks of heaven.

And every virtue we possess,

And every conquest won,
And every, thought of holiness.

Are His alone.

Spirit of purity and grace,

Our weakness, pitying, see :
make our hearts Thy dwelling-place.

And worthier Thee.

Blest Spirit, praise to Thee ;
All praise to God, the Three in One,

The One in three. Amen.

WHITSVNTIDE.

CM.

VfHEN God of old came down from heaven,
In power and wrath He came ;

Before His feet the clouds were riven,
Half darkness and half flame.

But when He came the second time,

He came in power and love ;
Softer than gale at morning prime

Hover'd His holy dove.

The fires that rush'd on Sinai down,

In sudden torrents dread,
Now gently light, a glorious crown,

On every sainted head.

And as on Israel's awe-struck ear

The voice exceeding loud.
The trump, that angels quake to hear,

Thriird from the deep, dark cloud ;

So, v/hen the Spirit of our God

Came down His flock to find,
A voice from heaven was heard abroad,

A rushing mighty wind.

It fills the Church of God ; it fills

The sinful world around ;
Only in stubborn hearts and wills

No place for it is found.

Come, Lord, come wisdom, love, and power,

Open our ears to hear ;
Let us not miss the accepted hour ;

Save, Lord, by love or fear. Amen.

WHIT8TINTIDE.

Gracious Spirit, Holy GBost,
Taught by Thee, we covet most,

Of Thy gifts at Pentecost,
Holy, heavenly love.

Love is kind, and suffers long ;

Love is meek, and thinks no wrong ;
Love than death itself more strong :

Give us heavenly love.

Prophecy will fade away.
Melting in the light of day ;

Love will ever with us stay :
Give- us heavenly love.

Faith will vanish into sight ;

Hope be emptied in delight ;
Love in heaven will shine more bright :

Give us heavenly love.

Faith and hope and love we see
Joining hand in hand agree ;

But the greatest of the three,
And the best, is love. Amen.

P.M.

HE*i3 come, let every knee be bent,
All hearts new joy resume ;

Sing, ye redeemed with one consent,
"The Comforter is come."

CM.

WHITSUNTIDE,

What greater gift, what greater love,
Could God on man bestow ?

Angels for this rejoice above,
Let man rejoice below.

Hail, blessed Spirit ! May each soul

Thy sacred presence feel ;
Do Thou each sinful thought control

And fix our wavering zeal.

Thou to the conscience dost convey
Those checks which we should know,

Thy motions point to us the way ;
Thou givest us strength to go.

CM.

This day the Lord's disciples met

According to his word,
Still waiting for the promised gift

Of their ascended Lord.

All Israel that happy morn, .

From farthest west to east.
With gladness for the ripened corn

Kept their great harvest feast.

They pressed along the city streets,

And up the holy hill.
And past that upper chamber where

The faithful waited still.

WHITSUNTIDE.

But louder than the noise without '
Kushed down the wind Divine ;

And brighter than the morning sun
Shone out the fiery sign.

Wondering, the strangers gathered round

From Parthia, Libya, Eome,
For each ear heard the praise of God

In the dear tongue of home.

That mighty wind is silent now,

Those fires not seen to-day ;
But that great gift our Master gave

Shall never pass away.

True Comforter, be here !
Make all Thy children feel and know

That Thou indeed art near ! Amen.

Fill'd His temple, and repeated

Each to each th' alternate hymn :

" Earth is with its fullness stored ;

" Unto Thee be glory given,

" Lord of hosts, the Lord most High ! "

With His seraph train before Him,
With Hiis holy Church below,

THE CHURCH.

The Church's one foundation '

Is Jesus Christ her Lord ;
She is His new creation

By water and the Word :
From heaven He came and sought her •

To be His holy Bndo ,
With His own Blood He bought her,

And for her life He died.

7.6.

THE CHURCH,

Elect from every nation,

Yet one o*er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation

One Jiord, one Faith, one Birth :
One Holy name she blesses,

Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses

With every grace endued.

Mid toil and tribulation,

And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation

Of peace for evermore ;
Till Tvith the vision glorious

Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great church victorious

Shall be the church at rest.

Yet she on earth has union

With God the Thre^ in One ;
And mystic sweet communion

With those whose rest is won.
Oh, happy saints and holy !

Lord, give us grace that we
Like them, the meek and lowly.

On high may dwell with thee ! Amen.

I LOVE Thy kingdom, Lord,
The house of Thine abode.

The Church our blest Kedeemer saved
With His own precious blood.

Her walls before Thee stand,

Dear as the apple of Thine eye,
And gi'aven on Thy hand.

For her my prayers ascend ;

Till toils and cares shall end.

Beyond my highest joy

I prize her heavenly way!.
Her sweet communion. Lord, with Thee,

Her hymns of love and praise.

Jesus, thou friend divine.

Our Saviour and our King,
Thy hand from every snare and foe

Shall great deliverance bring.

Sure as Thy truth shall last,

To Zion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield,

And brighter bliss of heaven.

Glorious things of thee are spoken,

Zion, city of our God ;
He, whose word cannot be broken,

Form'd thee for His own abode :
On the Eock of Ages founded.

What can shake thy sure vepose V
With salvation's walls surrounded.

Thou mayst smile at all thy foes.

THE CHURCH.

See, the streams of living waters,

Springing from eternal love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters,

And all fear of want remove :
Who can faint, while such a river

Ever flows their thirst t'assuage ;
Grace, which, like the Lord the giver,

Never fails from age to age ?

Round each habitation hovering.

See the cloud and fire appear,
For a glory and a covering ;

Showing that the Lord is near.
Thus deriving from their Leader,

Light by night and shade by day,
Safe they feed upon the manna.

Which He gives them when they pray.

Saviour, if of Zion*s city

I, through grace, a member am.
Let the world deride or pity,

I will glory in Thy name :
Fading is the worlding's pleasure.

All his boasted pomp and show ;
Solid joys and lasting treasure

None but Zion's children know.

Praise the Kock of our salvation,

Laud His name from zone to zone ;
On that Rock the Church is builded,

Clirist Himself the corner-stone ;
Vain against our rock-built Sion

Winds and waters, fire and hail ;
Christ is in her midst ; against her

Sin and hell shall not prevail.

Framed of living stones, cemented

By the Spirit's unity.
Based on Prophets and Apostles,

Firm in faith, and stayed on Thee,
May Thy Church, Lord Incarnate,

Grow in grace, in peaqe, in love j
Emblem of the heavenly Sion,

The Jerusalem above.

Stands four-square that heavenly city ;

Paved with gold like crystal bright j
Gates of pearl, and walls of jasper,

Emerald and chrysolyte.
Broad and lofty tower its ramparts ;

At its gate twelve angels stand ;
On its walls twelve names are graven.

Of the apostles* chosen band.

Throned in everlasting light,

In Thy presence evermore.

And all His wonders tell.

New mercies, each returning day,

Hover around us while we pray ;

New perils past, new sins forgiven.

New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.

If on our daily course our mind
Be set to hallow all we find,
New treasures still of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.

The trivial round, the common task,
xWill furnish all we ought to ask ;
Koom to deny ourselves : a road
To bring us daily nearer God.

Only, Lord, in Thy dear love,

Fit us for perfect rest above :

And help us this, and every day.

To live more nearly as we pray. Amen.

Dark and cheerless is the morn
Unaccompanied by Thee ;

Joyless is the day's return,
Till Thy mercy's beams I see ;

Till they inward light impart.

Cheer my eyes, and warm my heart.

Pierce the gloom of sin and grief !

Jesus Holy, undefiled.

Listen to a little child ;

Thou hast sent the glorious light.

Chasing far the silent night.

Thou hast sent the sun to shine
O'er this glorious world of Thine ;
Warmth to give, and pleasant glow,
On each tender flower below.

iN'ow the little birds arise.
Chirping gaily in the skies ;
Thee their tiny voices praise
In the early songs they raise.

Thou by whom the birds are fed
Give to me my daily bread,
And thy Holy spirit give,
Without whom I cannot live.

Make me. Lord, obedient, mild.
As becomes a little child ;
All day long in every way
Teach me what to do and say.

THE MORNING.

The morning, the bright and the beautiful morning
Is up, and the sunshine is all on the wing,

With its fresh flush of gladness the landscape adorn-

A gladness which nothing but morning can bring.

The earth is awaking, the sky and the ocean,
The river and forest, the mountain and plain ;

The city is stirring its Irving commotion.
The pulse of the world is reviving again.

And we too awake, for our Heavenly Father,
Who soothed us so gently to sleep on His Breast,

And made the soft stillness of evening to gather
Around us, now calls us again from our r«st.

Oh, now let us haste to our Heavenly Father,

And ere the fair skies of lifers dawning be dim.
Let us come with glad hearts,^ let us come aU to-
gether.
The morn of our youth let us hallow to Him.

The ill that I this day have done ;
That with the world, myself, and Thee,

The grave as little as my bed !
Teach me to die, that so I may
Kise glorious at the judgment day !

may my soul on Thee repose.
And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close !
Sleep, that may me more vigorous make
To serve my God when I awake !

When in the night I sleepless lie,
My soul with heavenly thoughts supply !
Let no ill dreams disturb my rest,
No powers of darkness me molest !

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 ! Amen.

Abide with me! fast falls the even-tide,
The darkness deepens ; Lord with rae abide !
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee.
Help of the helpless, abide with me I

Earth's joys grow dim ; its ^lorie '•ass away :
Change and decay in all around I see ;

Thou, who changest not, abide with me !

Thou on my head in early youth didst smile ;
And, though rebellious, and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me oft as I ^aft Thee ;
On to the close, Lord, abide with me !

1 need Thy presence every passing hour ;

What but Thy grace can foil the Tempter's power ?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be ?
Through cloud and sunshine, abide with me !

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless :
Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness :
Where is death's sting ? Where, grave, thy victory ?
I triumph still if Thou abide with me !

Hold, then. Thy cross before my closing eyes !
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies !
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows

flee;
In life and death, Lord, abide with me !

It is not night if Thou be near ;
Oh ! may no earth-born cloud arise
To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes.

Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without Thee I dare not die.

If some poor wandering child of Thine
Have spum*d to-day the voice divine j
Now, Lord, the gracious work begin ;,
Let him no more lie down in sin !

Watch by the sick, enrich the poor
With blessings from Thy boundless store !
Be every mourner's sleep to-night
Like infant's slumbers, pure and light!

Come near and bless us when wp wake,

Tender Shepherd, thou hast stiird

Now thy little lamb's brief weeping ;
Ah, how peaceful, pale, and mild
In its narrow bed 'tis sleeping,
And no sign of anguish sore
Heaves that little bosom more.

In this world of care and pain.

Lord, Thou wouldst no longer leave it ;
To the sunny heavenly plain

Thou dost now with joy receive it ;
Clothed in robes of spotless white,
Now it dwells with Thee in light.

Ah, Lord Jesus grant that we

Where it lives may soon be living,
And the lovely pastures see

That its heavenly food are giving ;
Then the gain of death we prove,
Though Thou take what most we love.

From which none ever wakes to weep ;
A calm and undisturb'd repofje.

Asleep in Jesus 1 Oh how sweet
To be for such a slumber meet ;

With holy confidence to sing

That death hath lost its painful sting !

Asleep in Jesus ! peaceful lest !

Whose waking is supremely blest ;
No fear, no woe shall dim that hour

That manifests the Saviour's power.

Asleep in Jesus ! for me
May such a blissful refuge be I

Securely shall my ashec lie,

Waiting the summons from on high.

Asleep in Jesus ! far from thee

Thy kindred and their graves may be ;

But there is still a blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep.

How sweet the hour of closing day,
When all is peaceful and serene,

And the broad sun's retiring ray
Sheds a mild lustre o'er the scene !

Such is the Christian's parting hour.
So peacefully he sinks to rest ;

And faith, rekindling aU its power,
Lights up the languor of his breast.

BVRIAL OF THE DEAD,

There is a radiance in his eye,
A smile upon his wasted cheek,

That seems to tell of glory nigh

In language that no tongue can speak,

A heam from heaven is sent to cheer
The pilgrim on his gloomy road ;

And angels are attending near
To bear him to their bright abode.

Lord, that we may thus depart,
Thy joys to share, Thy face to see,

Impress thine image on our hearts.
And teach us now to walk with thee.

Given from the heavens above ;
Little ears to hear the story

Of the Saviour's wondrous love ;
Little tongues to sing His praises ;

Little feet to walk His ways ;
Little bodies to be temples

Where the Holy Spirit stays.

Safe in the arms of Jesus,

Safe on His gentle breast,
There, by His love o'ershaded,
Sweetly my soul shall rest.

Borne in a song to me.
Over the fields of glory.
Over the jasper sea.
Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on His gentle breast,
There, by His love o'ershad'ed, sweetly my soul shall rest.

Safe from the world's temptations,

Ever my trust shall be.

Wait till the night is o'er ;
Wait till I see the morning

Break on the golden shore.

And He has made me glad.

And now I live in Him.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,

" I am this dark world's Light,
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise.

And all thy day he bright."

In Him my Star, my Sun ;
And in that light of life 1*11 walk

Till travelling days are done.

To rid my soul of one dark blot.
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,

With many a conflict, many a doubt.
Fightings and fears within, without,

Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom,
By waters calm, o'er troubled sea —

E'en death's cold wave I will not flee.

That His arm had been thrown around me,

And that I might have seen His kind look when He
said,
Let the little ones come unto Me.

Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go.

And ask for a share in His love ;
And if I thus earnestly seek Him below,

I shall see Him and hear Him above,

In that beautiful place He has gone to prepare
For all who are washed and forgiven ;

And many dear children shall be with Him there,

Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere ?
We should never be discouraged ;

Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,

Who will all our sorrows share ?
Jesus knows our every weakness —

Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden.

Cumbered with a load of care ?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge, —

Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee ?

Take it to the Lord in prayer :
In his arms He'll take and shield thee.

Thou wilt find a solace there.

GENERAL,

135 * P.M.

Through the love of God our Saviour

All will be well :
Free and changeless is His favour ;

All, all is well !
Precious is the Blood that heal'd us
Perfect is the grace that seal'd us,
Strong the Hand stretch'd forth to shield us ;

All must be well !

Though we pass through tribulation,

All will be well ;
Ours is such a full salvation,

All, all is well !
Happy, still in God confiding,
Fruitful, if in Christ abiding,
Holy, through the Spirit's guiding ;

All must be well I

We expect a bright to-morrow,

All will be well ;
Faith can sing through days of sorrow.

All, all is well 1
On our Father's love relying,
Jesus every need supplying,
Or in living, or in dying,

All must be well !

Saviour, Blessed Saviour,

Listen while we sing ;
Hearts and voices raising

Praises to our King.
All we have we offer; ^

All we hope to be,
Body, soul, and spirit,

All we vield to Thee.

Nearer, ever nearer,

Christ, we 'draw to Thee,
Deep in adoration

Bending low the knee.
Thou for our redemption,

Cam*st on earth to die ;
Thou that we might follow,

Hast gone up on high.

Great, and ever greater,

Are Thy mercies here ;
True and everlasting

Are the glories there ;
Whe^e no pain or sorrow.

Toil or care is known ;
Where the Angel legions

Circle round Thy throne.

Dark, and ever darker,
Was the wintry past ;

Now a ray of gladness
0*er our path is cast ;

Every day that passeth,
Every hour that flies,

Tells of love unfeigp.M,
Love that never dies.

Onward, ever onward,

Journeying o'er the road
Worn by saints before us,

Journeying on to God ;
Leaving all behind us.

May we hasten on.
Backward never Idbking

Till the prize is won.

Higher then, and higher,

Bear the ransom'd soul,
Earthly toils forgotten.

Saviour, to its goal ;
Where, in joys unthought of,

Saints with Angels sing.
Never weary, raising

Praises to their King.

P.H.

Pass me not, gentle Saviour,

Hear my humble cry :
While on others Thou. art calling,

Do not pass me by.
Chor. Saviour ! Saviour !

Hear my humble cry :
While on others Thou art callinsf,
Do not pass me by.

GENERAL.

Let me at a throne of mercy

Find a sweet relief:
Kneeling there in deep contrition,

Help my unbelief.

Trusting only in Thy merit,

Would I seek Thy face ;
Heal my wounded, broken spirit.

Save me by Thy grace.

Thou the spring of all my comfort,

More than life to me :
Whom have I t)n earth beside Thee ?

Whom in heaven but Thee ?

Pleasant are Thy courts above
In the land of light and love ;
Pleasant are Thy courts below
In this land of sin and woe.
Oh, my spirit longs and faints
For the converse of Thy saints,
For the brightness of Thy face,
For thy fulness, God of grace !

Happy birds that sing and fly,
Round thy altars, O Most High !
Happier souls that find a rest
In a Heavenly Father's breast !
Like tht^ wandering dove that found
No repose on earth around,
They can to their ark repair
And enjoy it ever there.

140

GENERAL.

Hai^py souls ! their praises flow

Even in this vale of woe ;

Waters in the desert rise,

Manna feeds them from the skies : '

On they go from strength to strength,

Till they reach Thy throne at length,

At Thy feet adoring fall,

"Who hast led them safe through all.

Lord ! be mine this prize to win !
Guide me through a world of sin :
Keep me by Thy saving grace ;
Give me at Thy side a place :
Sun and Shield alike Thou art ;
Guide and guard my erring heart !
Grace and glory flow from Thee ;
Shower, shower them. Lord, on me !

100th Psalm, N. V»

With one consent let all the earth
To God their cheerful voices raise ;

Glad homage pay with awful mirth.
And sing before Him songs of praise ;

Convinced that He is God alone,
From whom both we and all proceed.

We,, whom He chooses for His own,
The flock that He vouchsafes to feed.

141

GENERAL.

Thence to His courts devoutly press ;

And still your grateful hymns repeat,
And still His Name with praises bless.

For He's the Lord, supremely good ;

His mercy is for ever sure :
His truth, which always firmly stood,

To endless ages shall endure.

140

O.M.

God, our Help in ages past.
Our Hope for years to come.

Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal Home !

Under the shadow of Thy Throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure :

Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure.

Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame.

From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.

A thousand ages in Thy sight

Are like an evening gone ;
Short as the watch that ends the night

Before the rising sun.

142

GENERAL.

Time, like an ever-rolling stream,

Bears all its sons away ;
They fly forgotten, as a dream

Dies at the opening day.

God, our Help in ages past.
Our Hope for years to come ;

Be Thou our Guard while troubles last,
And our eternal Home !

141 S.M.

Not all the blood of beasts,

On Jewish altars slain.
Could give the guilty conscience peace,

Or wash away the stain.

But Christ, the heavenly Lamb,

Takes all our sins away ;
A sacrifice of nobler name

And richer blood than they.

My faith would lay her hand
On that dear head of Thine,

While like a penitent I stand,
And there confess my sin.

My soul looks back to see
The burdens Thou didst bear.

When hanging on th' accursed tree,
And trusts her guilt was there.

143

GENERAL,

142 ^'^'

What various hindrances we meet,
In coining to the mercy-seat !
Yet who that knows the worth of prayer
But wishes to be often there !

Prayer makes the darkened cloud withdraw ;
Prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw,
Gives exercise to faith and love,
Brings every blessing from above.

Restraining prayer, we cease to fight ;
Prayer makes the Christianas armor bright ;
And Satan trembles when he sees
The weakest saint upon his knees.

Have we no words ? ah ! think again :
Words flow apace when we complain,
And fill our fellow-creature's ear
With the sad tale of all our care.

Were half the breath thus vainly spent
To heaven in supplication sent,
Our cheerful song would oftener be,
Hear what the Lord hath done for me.

143

Jesus, the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills the breast ;

But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.

Drawn from Emmanuel's veins ;

And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.

That fountain in his day,
And there have I^ as vile as he.

Washed all my sins away.

Dear, dying Lamb ! Thy precious blood

Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransom'd Church of God

Be saved, to sin no more.

E*er since, by faith, T saw the stream

Redeeming love has been my theme.
And shall be till I die.

For me a blood-bought free reward,

A golden harp for me.

Where saints immortal reign,
Infinite day excludes the night,

And pleasures banish pain.

There everlasting spring abides.

And never withering flowers ;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides

This heavenly land from ours.

But timorous mortals start and shrink

To cross this narrow sea.
And linger trembling on the brink.

And fear to launch away.

Oh ! could we make our doubts remove,

These gloomy doubts that rise,
And see the Canaan that we love

With unbeclouded eyes ;

Could we but climb where Moses stood,

And view the landscape o'er ;
Not Jordan's stream, nor death\s cold flood,

ISO

Should fright us from the shore.

'Mid flaming worlds, in these array'd
With joy shall I lift up my head.

When from the dust of earth I rise
To claim my mansion in the skies ;
