M §§>attib i^ongs E 4Sa»i FROM THE LIBRARY OF REV. LOUIS FITZGERALD BENSON, D. D. BEQUEATHED BY HIM TO THE LIBRARY OF PRINCETON THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY JMYtaion ZCr Section SACRED SONGS FOR USE IN er Mission Work and Church Societies uthority of the Evangelical Lutheran Joint Synod of Ohio and Other States LUTHERAN BOOK CONCERN Columbus, Ohio 1914 preface. THE needs of our missionaries, Home and Inner, and the requirements of our congregational organizations, have been the determining fac- tors in the production of this little hymnal. Some hymns have been incorporated not hereto- fore used in any of our hymnals, but though new to our Synodical hymnody, they are not new to most of our people. The requirements of our growing In- ner Mission work decided the adoption of a few of these. Others were selected because of the expres- sion they give to Christian experience, and the call they give to Christian consecration and service. 'Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall re- turn, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlast- ing joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and mourning shall flee away." As a contribution the object of which is to help all who will to "Sing to the honor of His Name/' and with the prayer that the blessing of the Master may rest on the singer and the song, this little musical manual is given to the church.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the coun- sel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sin- ners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so; but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judg- ment, nor sinners in the congregation of the right- eous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish. {taaim 10. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech : and night unto night showeth knowledge. There is no speech nor language: where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth: and their words to the end of the world. (11) 12 &tv\ptuxt Hwwma. The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul : the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure enlight- ening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover, by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. Who can understand his errors? Cleanse thou me from secret faults. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. Jfialm 23. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures : he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul : he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil : for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies : thou anointest my head with oil ; my cup runneth over. #mjitur* fctnaana. 13 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life : and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. JJaalm 4fi. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling there- of. Selah. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desola- tions he hath made in the earth. He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth ; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord of hosts is with us ; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. 14 &cv\ptwe CrBfliinsu Psalm 7Z. Give unto the King thy judgments, O God: and thy righteousness unto the King's Son. He shall judge thy people with righteousness : and thy poor with judgment. The mountains shall bring peace to the people; and the little hills, by righteousness. He shall judge the poor of the people: he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure: throughout all generations. He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass : as showers that water the earth. In his days shall the righteous flourish : and abun- dance of peace so long as the moon endureth. He shall have dominion also from sea to sea: and from the river unto the ends of the earth. The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents : the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. Yea, all kings shall fall down before him; all nations shall serve him. For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth : the poor also, and him that hath no helper. He shall spare the poor and needy: and shall save the souls of the needy. He shall redeem their soul from deceit and vio- lence : and precious shall their blood be in his sight. And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually : and daily shall he be praised. #rrtpture Htssans. 15 faalm 31. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress : my God ; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust : his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night ; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness ; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thou- sand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation ; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him : I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 16 &ttipttxtt UtaamtB. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. $aaltn 104. Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Who coverest thyself with light as with a gar- ment : who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain : Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters : who maketh the clouds his chariot : who walketh upon the wings of the wind: Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a gar- ment: the waters stood above the mountains. At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. Lord, how manifold are thy works ! in wis- dom hast thou made them all : the earth is full of thy riches. Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever : the Lord shall rejoice in his works. He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth : he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. 1 will sing unto the Lord as long as I live : I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. &ttiptutt Uraaona. 17 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord. Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord. %ukt I, BB-72. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people. And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began : That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant. The oath which he sware to our father Abraham. That he would grant unto us, that we, being de- livered out of the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear. In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest, for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways. To give knowledge of salvation unto his people, by the remission of their sins. Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the Day-spring from on high hath visited us. To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death. To guide our feet into the way of peace. 18 &rrtpiure ^BBtma. I (tot. 13, Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sound- ing brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove moun- tains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity surTereth long, and is kind; charity en- vieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not purled up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil ; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth ; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never f aileth : but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease ; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. But when I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. Srriptwrp Eraaana. 19 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three ; but the greatest of these is charity. pjii. 4, 4-0. Rejoice in the Lord alway : and again I say, Re- joice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your re- quests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all under- standing, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and re- ceived, and heard, and seen in me, do : and the God of peace shall be with you. I ftttx, 1, 3-0. Blessed be the God, and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrec- tion of Jesus Christ from the dead. To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you. Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time. 20 ifrmptttr* HtBBona. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a sea- son, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations : That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ : Whom having not seen, ye love ; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory : Receiving the end of your faith, even the salva- tion of your souls, praters. (general. Our Lord and our God, we thank Thee for Thine unspeakable goodness, bidding us to call upon Thy name in every time of need, and that Thou doest vouchsafe to us, at all times, what is necessary for body and soul. O God, we beseech Thee, pour out upon us the spirit of supplication, that we may always delight in Thy worship, and daily, with all confidence draw nigh unto Thee, bow our knees before Thy throne, and call upon Thee for the supply of all our wants. Truly, Thou art the Father, of whom the whole family in heaven and on earth is named. Grant that, as Thine own dear children, we may continually lift up holy hands to Thee, nothing doubting, but firmly believing that Thou wilt hear the sighs and groans of our souls. When Thy help is delayed, en- able us to exercise patience, and to await an answer to our prayers in Thine own good time, for Thou hast pleasure in them who fear Thee and hope in Thy goodness. O Father, help us, by Thy Holy Spirit, to remember the hour of death, and gave us grace always to hold ourselves in readiness for its coming and to pray unceasingly for a happy end through Jesus Christ, our Savior. Amen. Almighty and everlasting God, Thou art the only true God and Father ; and art worthy to be held in reverence and adoration by every creature. That we (21) 22 f ragrrfl. may know this and be able to worship Thee aright, ihou hast revealed Thyself in Thy blessed Word, given for the salvation of souls. Heavenly Father, we heartily thank Thee for the precious gift of Thy sav- ing truth, and for all the benefits which Thou hast be- stowed upon us. We thank Thee for the privilege of meeting together for the study of the W r ord and for Thy worship and praise. Forgive us our many sins and transgressions, and rightly prepare us to engage in this service. Bless the instruction that shall now be given in Thy name, and help us all to know and do Thy holy will. Bless Thy people everywhere and let all nations learn to rejoice in Thee and in Thy bound- less mercy and grace, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Blessed God and Father, Thou art the Giver of every good and perfect gilt, and with Thee there is neither variableness nor shadow of turning. We have often forgotten Thee, and are not worthy of the least of Thy benefits, but Thou art never unmindful of us, and our needs; and with a liberal hand Thy rich blessings are bestowed upon us day by day. Awaken in us a deeper sense of gratitude, and enable us to re- ceive Thy gifts with thankful hearts, for we are poor dependent creatures. Pardon our manifold sins, and give us greater love for Thee, for Thy Word, and for everything that is good and acceptable in Thy sight. Bless us and all others for whom we should pray. Keep us in the true faith, and let us be Thine forever. Lord, grant us our prayers for Jesus' sake. Amen. Merciful Savior, we thank and praise Thee that Thou didst come into the world for the redemption of $Jrag*ra. 23 a lost and ruined race. We thank Thee for Thy boundless love and compassion and for Thine innocent and vicarious sufferings and death. Stricken, smitten of God and afflicted. Thou hast borne our griefs and carried our sorrow. The punishment which justly rested upon us Thou hast endured in our stead and the benefit of this atoning sacrifice is forever made sure by Thy glorious resurrection and ascension. Blessed Savior, we thank Thee for the establish- ment of Thy kingdom on earth, and also in our midst, and that the fruits of redemption are constantly granted unto the children of men. Mercifully keep us from the ways of sin, and so rule our hearts and minds that we may never be ashamed of Thee, of Thy Word, and the sacred ordinances of Thy house. Grant that our lives may be lives of faith, righteousness and peace, and to the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost shall be all the praise. Amen. Heavenly Father, we thank Thee that Thou hast taught us to know Thee as our true Father, and that Thou art ever ready to receive us as Thine own dear children. We are Thine, for Thou art our Creator and Preserver, and the Giver of every good that we possess. We are Thine by redemption, for Thou hast purchased us with the precious blood of Thine only begotten Son: and Thine we are by the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, so abundantly shed upon us through Jesus Christ, our Savior. Heavenly Father, without any merit or worthiness of our own, in Christ Jesus Thou dost accept us as Thy dear children, and as heirs of Thy kingdom. O may this grace not be in vain. We beseech Thee to keep us in the faith unto everlasting life! and that 24 PragtrB. which we ask for ourselves we also ask for Thy people everywhere. Bless and prosper the work of Thy whole Church on earth, and extend and build up the walls of Zion in every land. Break down the barriers of sin and satan, and cause Thy Gospel to be pro- claimed throughout the world. Let all nations hear the wonderful story of the Cross and be led to worship Thee in Jesus' name. Amen. Lord Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and Shepherd, we thank Thee for Thine infinite love and mercy, and for Thy tender care. We thank Thee for the health and strength wherewith Thou hast so kindly favored us, and for the desire which prompts us to come into Thy house, that we may hear Thy Word, and offer unto Thee our songs of thanksgiving and praise. Lord, help us to realize that every blessing we enjoy is bestowed upon us purely out of Thy divine good- ness and mercy, and grant that we may receive these manifold gifts in Thy fear and love. Heavenly Father, for the sake of Thy crucified Son, blot out our transgressions and keep us under Thy protection and care. Bless us according to our needs, and in every good cause prosper the work of our hands. Mercifully consider the needs of all man- kind, and be Thou the God and Father of all who are afflicted and distressed in body, mind, or estate. Let Thy name be known and hallowed throughout the world, and all praise be given unto Thee, who to- gether with the Son, and the Holy Ghost, livest and reigneth forever and ever. Amen. Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who hast all power in Heaven and on earth, and who art our Inter- #rag*rfl. 25 cessor with the Father, we owe it to Thy goodness and intercession that we are yet alive, and that we enjoy so many blessings. We thank and praise Thy holy name for all the benefits which Thou hast extended to us, who are so unworthy of them. By our creation and redemption, as well as by our baptism we are placed under obligation to live to Thy honor and to serve Thee. We, therefore, pray Thee, fit us for the performance of duty, and give unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through a gracious knowledge of Thyself. Plant and increase within us the fruits of Thy Spirit, which are love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. Give unto us the water of life, to refresh our souls, that water which is the outpouring of Thy Holy Spirit, who only is able to teach and strengthen us, and prepare us for every good work. Stretch out Thy hand over us and protect us against all spiritual and bodily enemies. Bless the whole Christian Church, yea, the whole world, and let Thy name be glorified this day through the aid which Thou afford- est them who are in need. Amen. MlBBiatmtg, Gracious God and Father, unceasing praise and adoration be unto Thee for all Thy gifts and blessings. But especially would we thank and praise Thee for that infinite love and compassion which prompted the sending of Thine only begotten Son for the salvation of a lost and dying world. Blessed Son of God, our only Redeemer and Hope, eternal thanksgiving and praise be unto Thee 26 Pragma. for Thy merciful coming, and for giving Thyself as a willing sacrifice for the atonement oi our sins. Holy Spirit, who proceedest from the Father and the Son, equal worship and praise belongeth unto Thee. For it is through Thee that we have the sure testimony of the written Word and by Thy quickening power we learn to know and believe in the only true Lord of heaven and earth, and are kept in the Christian faith. We beseech Thee to abide with us and grant us Thy gracious direction. But the consolation of the gospel is not only for those who are already under the influences of the Church. All men have been redeemed by Thy precious blood, and O Christ, Thou hast given the sacred injunction: "Preach the Gospel to every crea- ture." Awaken the entire Church to a more earnest compliance with Thy holy will and command. The need is very great. Millions at home and abroad are strangers to the covenant of promise, and are without God and without hope in the world. The fields are ripe unto harvest, but the laborers are few. Lord, send forth laborers into Thy harvest and give them the strength and courage to do Thy work as it is com- mitted to their hands. Richly bless Thy servants everywhere, and give peace and prosperity to the Church without and within, and let the light of salva- tion be the joy of all people. Amen. Eternal God, to whom belongeth all power, and glory, and dominion, we would praise and extol Thy holy name. We humbly confess that of ourselves we are not worthy to stand in Thy presence, for we are weak and sinful creatures, and have deserved nothing but punishment. But Thou art a merciful God, and fragerH. 27 hast given Thy Son to be our righteousness, and through Him Thou dost own and adopt us as Thy children, and dost grant us free access to the throne of grace. Nor dost Thou ever grow weary of hearing the prayers of Thy people. But vast numbers there are who, though living in a Christian land, have not learned to know and con- fess Thee as their true Father in Christ Jesus. Lord, have mercy on these misguided souls, and lead them to better things. Give Thy ministers wisdom and power from on high, and grant them great success in win- ning souls through the preaching of the Word. Let the blessed influence of the Church be felt in every cornmunity, and lead people to be glad when they have an opportunity to attend the services of God's house. Lord, be with our pastors and congregations, and sanctify them unto Thyself. Fill Thy Church with a holy zeal, give its members oneness of heart and mind. Lead Thy people everywhere to a deeper conscious- ness of the great work that is to be done, and make them ready and willing to spend and be spent in the upbuilding of Thy kingdom. Heavenly Father, protect and comfort Thy serv- ants who are laboring in heathen lands, and crown their efforts with abundant success. Enlighten and subdue the world by the power of the Gospel, and bring peace and happiness to the nations of the earth. We ask it for Jesus' sake. Amen. Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and through Him also our Father, we thank Thee for the innum- erable blessings bestowed upon us by Thy tender and loving hand. But especially do we thank and praise Thee for the establishment of Thy Church on earth, 28 £ rag*ra. and for having brought us under the blessed influences of the Gospel. Lord, lead us to a higher and better appreciation of the rich treasures that are so freely offered in Thy kingdom, and make us more deeply conscious of the deplorable condition of all who are strangers to Thee and to Thy covenant of grace. Let Thy blessed Word be preached in its purity and power in every congre- gation, and awaken the ungodly, cold and indifferent to the needs of their famishing souls. Move all Chris- tians to a deeper sense of the duties which they owe those who are known to be outside the Church, and give them grace and zeal in the Lord's work. Heavenly Father, we pray Thee for all sorts and conditions of men. In the abundance of Thy mercy, have compassion on the aeglected, misled, straying and fallen, the weak, and those who are tempted by special sins. Enlighten, guide and sustain them by Thy Holy Spirit, and cause them to love the ways of truth and purity. In mercy remember the sick and the needy, comfort the forsaken and distressed, and help them to realize that all things work together for good to them that love God. Lord, hear our humble petitions, for Jesus' sake. Amen. Almighty and eternal God, Thou knowest the se- crets of every heart, and from Thee nothing can be hid. Lord, we humbly confess that of ourselves we are not worthy to stand in Thy presence or to ask anything of Thee. But we do not approach Thee in our own name, but in the name of Jesus, Thy blessed Son, and in whom Thou hast adopted us as Thy chil- dren. iJrayrra. 29 For Jesus' sake forgive us all our sins, and strengthen and keep us in Thy grace. Increase our love for Thee and for the treasures of the gospel, and make us more devoted to the cause of Christ. Help us to realize the needs of all who are in spiritual dark- ness, and enable Thy servants to live and labor to the honor and glory of Thy name. Lord, have mercy upon those who once professed to be Thy followers, but have forgotten Thee and Thy saving truth, and are now walking in the ways of the world and the flesh. Convince them of their sinful- ness, and lead them to sincere repentance. In much mercy remember Thy weak and fallen creatures, those who have been ensnared and corrupted by the decep- tions of sin. Rescue them from the powers of vice and destruction, and lead them to rejoice in the ways of purity and righteousness. Heavenly Father, guide and bless the efforts of all who are laboring for the salvation of souls. Strengthen the weak, convert the unbelieving, and bring to naught the counsels of the ungodly. Subdue the wickedness of the earth and let Thy good and gracious will be done among all people. We ask it for Jesus' sake. Amen. O God of Truth and Love, Thou hast no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Through the sufferings and death of Thine own Son, Thou hast redeemed the world from the power of sin, death and the devil, and Thou wouldst have all men come to a knowledge of the truth, repent and be saved. Spread abroad Thy Holy Word, and bless the preaching of the Gospel to the hearts of those who know Thee not. Send forth 30 Prag*ra. laborers into Thy harvest, and bless all missionary efforts for the glory of Thy name. Grant unto all missionaries a large measure of Thy Spirit, that they, holding Thy truth, may be well equipped to bear Thy name to the ends of the earth. Preserve them from all dangers ; defend them against all their foes ; and guide them over sea and land, that the deep may not swallow them up, nor the desert destroy them. Watch over all missionary institutions, and let the faith once delivered to the saints, prevail in them all. Bless whatsoever is done for the extension of Thy kingdom among Jews, Mahammedans and Gentiles. Even within the bounds of Thy Church there are practical heathen. O, con- vert them ! and give them no peace, until they have re- turned to Thee. Shine as the Sun of Righteousness upon us all and let us walk in Thy light. Vouchsafe to us the gracious influence of the Holy Ghost, that our whole spirit, body and soul, may be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Come, Lord Jesus ! Amen. Cburcb Societies Blessed Savior, when clothed in mortal flesh.. Thy life was a life of service and sacrifice. By precept and by example Thou hast taught us to be earnest, active and faithful servants of the Lord. The purpose of this association is to glorify Thy name among us and to promote the interests of Thy holy kingdom. We beseech Thee to be with us, and to grant us Thy guidance and blessing. Mercifully warn and protect us against every in- fluence that would injure or prevent the usefulness of this society. Remove from us all vain and sinful am- bitions, jealousies and dissensions, and cause peace and harmony to abide with us continually as becometh the children of God. Let the Holy Spirit reign in our hearts and minds, and make us ready and willing to perform any duty that comes within our sphere. Bless the congregation to which we belong; give success to the work that is being done in Thy name, and grant that this parish may ever be a faithful wit- ness in the cause of truth and righteousness. We in- voke Thy heavenly benediction upon the entire Church, Be Thou the Protector and Defense of Thy people everywhere, and let the Gospel of Jesus Christ be known and welcomed throughout the world. These petitions we offer in our great Redeemer's name. Amen. (31) 32 ©ijurrlj $awti*a. Eternal God and Father, unto Thee belongeth all honor and praise on earth and in heaven. Thou art the Creator and possessor of all things, the Giver of every good and perfect gift, and unto Thee shall pray- ers and supplications be made. In our weakness and lack of understanding, we often fail to realize our greatest needs and that for which we should ask. But Thou art ever ready to hear Thy children when they pray, and the yearnings of a believing heart are no less acceptable unto Thee than utterance in words. Lord, help us to know the real wants of body and soul, give us a steadfast faith in Thee, and move our hearts and tongues with true gratitude and praise. Blessed God and Father, we never can sufficiently thank and adore Thee for Thy boundless love and mercy. Though deserving none of Thy benefits, Thou hast sent us Thy most precious gift, the gift of Thine only begotten Son, our Lord and Redeemer. We thank Thee that Thou hast permitted us to know this, and enabled us to rejoice in the salvation which Thou hast prepared for us, and for all people. O may we never be unmindful of Thy countless benefits, nor blush to own our Savior's name. Mercifully protect us against the temptations of the devil, the world, and our own flesh ; and comfirm us in that which is good and acceptable in Thy sight. Be with us on this occasion, and grant that the present hour may be for us an hour of refreshing and edification. Guide and keep us through life, and when our earthly course is finished, take us to Thyself in heaven, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Blessed and Eternal God, by Thy fatherly good- ness and mercy, we are again permitted to assemble in Thy presence, and to rejoice together before Thee as Thy children. We heartily thank Thee for this privilege, and for all the blessings we have received in things temporal and spiritual, and pray Thee to graciously remember us in the future as Thou hast so faithfully done in the past. Lord, we ask Thy blessing and guidance in this meeting. Sanctify our efforts as a little band of young Christians, and help us to do Thy will. Protect us against everything that is harmful and unseemly, and grant that our meetings may always be helpful to us socially and spiritually. Blessed Savior, let us never forget that we have been purchased with Thy holy blood, and that our lives should constantly show forth Thy honor and praise. Be Thou our Teacher and Guide, and keep us in Thy loving care. Give us a deeper knowledge of Thyself, and lead us to love Thee more and to serve Thee better, for Thou art the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no man cometh unto the Father but by Thee. O God of our salvation, abide with us, and merci- fully grant that we may never forsake the way of truth and righteousness. Confirm us in the faith and hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and cause us to grow in holiness of heart and life. And when Thou art done serving Thyself with us in this world, accept us as Thine in a blissful eternity. Grant it, Lord, for Thy truth's sake. Amen. O Father of all grace and mercy, Thou art a holy God and wilt have us also lead a life holy and free 34 GUjurrlj &atitt\?B. from the lusts and desires of our sinful flesh. We de- plore our weakness and the shortcomings of our sinful nature. To will is indeed present with us, but how to perform that which is good, we find not. Three mighty enemies we find assailing us: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life; these endeavor to draw us from Thy path. Therefore, we pray Thee, O our Father, to create and to preserve in us a clean heart. Grant that we may carefully shun all places which lend occasion for uncleanness, and that, restrained by Thy tear, we may not make mem- bers of fornication out of the members of our bodies, for they are members of Christ Jesus, our Savior But rather let us ever, in ardent devotion to Thee and in a fervent longing for heaven, be most intent upon so living, that our bodies may be temples of God the Holy Ghost, never ceasing to love Jesus, who was crucified and given into death for us. Fill us with love of heavenly wisdom, in order that we may never find ourselves on the slippery paths of sin. O God, just and holy, who triest both heart and reins, grant that we may so live with Thee in this world that in the world to come we may not be separated from Thee. Amen. O Lord Jesus Christ, before whom every knee should bow, and whom every tongue should gladly confess, unto Thee we offer our petitions and praises. We beseech Thee, give us the true spirit of devotion create in us a more fervent desire to commune with Thee in humble, grateful prayer, and awaken in every heart a greater confidence in the petitions offered in Olliurrlj ^wtrtwal 35 Thy all-prevailing name. For Thou hast commanded us to pray, and we come before Thee as obedient and dependent children. At all times our needs, both tem- poral and spiritual, are indeed very great, and Thou alone canst supply our wants, nor do Thy people ask in vain. Thou art our Refuge and Strength in every time of trouble, and Thy comforting promises concern- ing the prayer of faith cannot fail to be kept. Gracious God and Savior, as daughters of Thine own household, we invoke Thy blessing upon this as- sociation. Guide us in our deliberation and help us to deyise ways and means by which to aid in the up- building of God's kingdom. Give us wisdom and strength, and teach us to know and do Thy will. Lord, we beseech Thee to bless us in the relations and duties to which Thou hast called us. Lead us in Thy paths, and keep us faithful in all things. Let the lives and deeds of those noble women of the Bible be an inspiration to us in every good work. May we profit by their examples of faith, true godliness and zeal, and may we never grow weary of well doing. God of mercy and grace, bless all departments of church work. Graciously pardon and overrule the sins and failings of Thy servants, and sanctify their labors to Thy honor and praise. Amen. Almighty and everlasting God, in whose hand is the life and well-being of every creature, to Thee be- longeth all honor and praise. Through Jesus Christ, we do most heartily thank Thee for Thy innumerable benefits of body and soul. O God, we adore Thee as a kind and indulgent Father. Thou art ever mindful of the wants of Thy dependent children, and without 36 CEIywrrlj &ati*tua. any merit or worthiness on our part, Thou dost con- tinually bless us far beyond that which we could ask or think. Everlasting praise be unto Thee for Thy goodness and tender mercy. Heavenly Father, we especially thank Thee for our redemption from the powers of sin and wrath, for the means of grace, and for the "blessed hope of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. Lord, help us to love and appreciate Thy word and the sacred or- dinances of Thy house, and keep us blameless to the end. Merciful Savior, we are now assembled in Thy name, and we beseech Thee to be in the midst of this humble gathering, and grant us Thy gracious direction and blessing. Without Thee we can do nothing, but under Thy blessing our efforts for good will not be in vain. Blessed Jesus, be with us in the cares and duties of this daily life, and help us to remember that godliness with contentment is great gain. Let Thy blessing be upon us in our domestic relations, and grant that our homes may be habitations of order and peace. Enable us to be active and faithful mem- bers of the Church, and grant that our example to others may always be wholesome and helpful. Imbue us with a true missionary spirit. Lead us to find pleasure in works of mercy and benevolence, to de- light in visiting the sick, the destitute and distressed, and in comforting them in the days of their affliction and sorrow. May the Holy Spirit abide with us all, and make us willing and effectual laborers in the vine- yard of the Lord. Amen. Sacreb Songs. (BeneraL ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS' NAME.

Plead with them earnestly, Plead with them gently ; He will forgive if they only believe. Wakened by kindness, Chords that were broken will vibrate once more. 4 Rescue the perishing, Duty demands it; Strength for thy labor the Lord will 3 Down in the human heart, provide: Crushed by the tempter, Back to the narrow way Feelingslieburiedthatgracecanrestore: Patiently win them; Touched by a loving heart, Tell the poor wanderer a Savior has died. — F.

Tell them of the Spirit given As our Guide through Christ toheav'n, Strong and holy, just and true, Working both to will and do. 3 Word of Life! most pure and strong, Lo! for thee the nations long: Spread and banish by thy light Everywhere sin's dreary night. Up! the ripening fields we see. Mighty shall the harvest be; But the reapers still how few! Lord, send men Thy work to do. — Jonathan Friederich Bahnmeier, 1827.
