186 GREENFIELD. 2d P. M. (359) EDSON. 1. I'll praise my Mak-er while I've breath, And when my voice is lost in death, WELLFORD. 2d P. M. W** 187 FROM THANKSGIVING, BY PERMISSION. ver all, sent to fulfil Thy gracious Father's sov'reign will, To thy dread scep-tre will I bow; With duteous rev'-rence at thy feet, Like hum-ble Ma ry, lo! I sit; Speak, Lord, thy ser-vant hear - eth now. 9 820 The image of the heavenly. 2 The world, sin, death, oppose in vain; No charms but these to thee are dear; But faith and heaven-born peace be there. 4 A patient, a victorious mind, That life and all things casts behind, Springs forth obedient to thy call; 87 0 Infinite condescension. 2 Thou shin'st with everlasting rays; Before the' insufferable blaze Angels with both wings veil their eyes; Yet free as air thy bounty streams; On all thy works thy mercy's beams, Diffusive as thy sun's, arise. 3 Astonish'd at thy frowning brow, Earth, hell, and heaven's strong pillars bow: Terrible majesty is thine! Who then can that vast love express, Which bows thee down to me,-who less Than nothing am, till thou art mine! 4 High throned on heaven's eternal hill, In number, weight, and measure, still, Thou sweetly ord'rest all that is; And yet thou deign'st to come to me, And guide my steps, that I, with thee Enthroned, may reign in endless bliss. 1135 157-a. GOD, of good the' unfathom'd sea, Doxology. Who would not give his heart to thee! NOW to the great and sacred Three, Who would not love thee with his might! Who would not his whole soul and mind, The Father, Son, and Spirit, be Eternal praise and glory given, Through all the worlds where God is known, By all the angels near the throne, And all the saints in earth and heaven. And thaw, with beams of love di - vine, This heart, this frozen heart of mine. FOR a glance of heavenly day, And thaw, with beams of love divine, 2 The rocks can rend; the earth can quake; 3 To hear the sorrows thou hast felt, 5 But power divine can do the deed; WHEN, O my Saviour, shall it be, That I no more shall break with thee? When will this war of passion cease, And I enjoy a lasting peace? 2 Now I repent; now sin again: Now I revive; and now am slain : Slain with the same malignant dart, Which, O! too often wounds thy heart. 3 When, gracious Lord, when shall it be, That I shall find my all in thee,The fulness of thy promise prove, And feast on thine eternal love? 1093 Day dawns on the night of the grave. 73-c. SHALL man, O God of light and life, Nor day-star gild the darksome skies? And heaven with praise and wonder rang. 4 Faith sees the bright, eternal doors 5 The trump shall sound-the dead shall wake; HYMNS. 619 Sabbath evening: Thy kingdom come. 68-b. MILLIONS within thy courts have met, Millions this day before thee bow'd; Their faces Zionward were set, Vows with their lips to thee they vow'd. 2 But thou, soul-searching God! hast known The hearts of all that bent the knee; And hast accepted those alone, Who in the spirit worshipp'd thee. 3 People of many a tribe and tongue, Of various languages and lands, Have heard thy truth, thy glory sung, And offer'd prayer with holy hands. 4 And not a prayer, a tear, a sigh, Hath fail'd this day some suit to gain; To those in trouble thou wert nigh; Not one hath sought thy face in vain. 5 Thy poor were bountifully fed,— Thy chasten'd sons have kiss'd the rod; Thy mourners have been comforted,The pure in heart have seen their God. 6 Yet one prayer more;-and be it one, In which both heaven and earth accord;— Fulfil thy promise to thy Son: -- Let all that breathe call Jesus Lord! SA The Minister's prayer: Christ's constraining love. 34-b. 39-a. AVIOUR of men, thy searching eye 4 My life, my blood, I here present, 5 Give me thy strength, O God of power: 804 Lo ORD, I am thine, entirely thine, 2 Grant one poor sinner more a place 3 Thine would I live--thine would I die; 4 Here, at that cross where flows the blood 5 Do thou assist a feeble worm come before our God; Once more his bless - ing ask: ONCE more we come before our God; Once more his blessing ask: 2 Father, thy quick'ning Spirit send 3 May we receive the word we hear, And keep the precious treasure there, 4 To seek thee, all our hearts dispose; To each thy blessings suit; And let the seed thy servant sows, JEHOVAH, God, thy gracious power On every hand we see; Lead all our thoughts to thee. 2 If on the wings of morn we speed, To earth's remotest bound, Thy hand will there our journey lead, 3 Thy power is in the ocean deeps, 4 From morn till noon- 261 Children in the arms of Jesus. BEHOLD what condescending love Jesus on earth displays!- 2 He still the ancient promise keeps, To our forefathers given; Young children in his arms he takes, And calls them heirs of heaven. 3 Forbid them not, whom Jesus calls, Nor dare the claim resist, Since his own lips to us declare Of such will heaven consist. 79-b. 4 With flowing tears, and thankful hearts, We give them up to thee; Receive them, Lord, into thine arms; 266 The Lord's Supper: The invitation. 97–c. HE King of heaven his table spreads, Not Paradise, with all its joys, Could such delight afford. 2 Pardon and peace to dying men, 3 Millions of souls, in glory now, 4 All things are ready, come away, |
