ODE FOR SEPTEMBER 7*- 
 
 SOLO. 
 
 t. 230. 
 
 From thy holy habitation, 
 God of grace and consolation, 
 Behold us meet before thy throne. 
 Saviour, to believer's precious, 
 With sanctified delights refresh us, 
 And us as thine in mercy own : 
 AIL We humbly cry to Thee, 
 
 Send now prosperity ; 
 Let thy beauty 
 On us appear, — establish here 
 Our work, the work of praise and prayer. 
 
 MARRIED PEOPLE. T. 184. 
 
 Accept, God of our salvation, 
 The sacrifice of praise and prayer ; 
 
 Thou bidst us come,; all things are ready, 
 
 The treasure of thy boundless grace 
 Is opened to the poor and needy, 
 They ne'er go empty from thy face.

 Guide us, thou great Jehovah, 
 Pilgrims through this barren land; 
 
 We are weak, but thou art mighty ; 
 Hold us with thy powerful hand-. 
 Bread of heaven 
 
 Feed us till we want no more. 
 
 Open now the crystal fountain, 
 Whence the living waters flow ; 
 
 Let the fiery cloudy pillar 
 
 Lead us all our journey through : 
 Strong Deliverer :||: 
 
 Be thou still our strength and shield.

 Help thy servants to maintain 
 A profession free from stain, 
 That their sole reproach may be, 
 Following Christ and fearing thee. 
 
 Lord uphold them day by day, 
 Shed a light upon their way ; 
 Guide them through perplexing snares^ 
 Care for them in all their cares.

 Tho' dark be my way, yet'since he is my guide, 
 'Tis mine to obey, and 'tis his to provide ; 
 |Tho' cisterns be broken, and creatures all fail, 
 The word he has spoken shall surely prevail.

 Who know'st their wants, and nearest prayer;— ^ 
 
 Endow our parents with thy love, 
 And give them wisdom from above 
 To educate each child for thee, 
 As thy redeemed property. 
 
 Grant them and us, their children, grace, n 
 So here on earth to run our race 
 That we in heaven may meet, and sing 
 Eternal praise to thee our King.

 Our children, gracious Lord and God, 
 With fervor we to thee commend • 
 Thou hast redeem'd them by thy blood ; 
 Thy blessing on them all descend : 
 Kind Shepherd take each little lamb * 
 Into thy faithful arms of love ; 
 Cause them to know thy saving name, 
 And thy redeeming grace to prove.

 His love and power can bless; 
 To praying souls he always grants 
 More than they can express.

 Who us by blood has bought. 
 In mercy sought 
 And to thy fold us brought*
