540.* T. 16. STORMS of trouble may assail us, Yea, life's vessel overwhelm; Yet no danger need appal us, If our Saviour guide the helm. 2 If with willing resignation,

Free from care, we acquiesce
In his ways, his consolation

Will alleviate our distress.
3 God is mighty to deliver,
None his power can withstand;
In all trials whatsoever

He will be our gracious Friend.
4 When his hour strikes for relieving,
Help breaks forth amazingly,
And to shame our anxious grieving,
Often unexpectedly.

541. T. 22.

WHEN by adversity I'm try'd,

WHAT, my soul, should bow the In God, my Rock, I will confide,

down,

Perils or temptation?

Is not Christ upon the throne
Still thy strong salvation ?

2 Cast thy burden on the Lord,
Thy almighty Saviour;
He, who death for thee endur'd,
Surely will deliver.

3 Mention to him ev'ry want,
Yea, whate'er doth grieve thee,
If for comfort thou dost pant,
Jesus will relieve thee.

4 Turn, my soul, unto thy rest,
Quickly turn to Jesus,

He will do for thee what's best,
Heal all thy diseases.

5 Mourn, whene'er thou hast forgot
Him, whose great compassion
Never fails, whose blood hath bought
Thy complete salvation.

6 Earthly things do not regard, Trust in Jesus' favor,

.

He will be thy great reward, And thy shield for ever.

'Midst trials, whatsoe'er they be,
Rely on his fidelity.

2 I'll trust my great Physician's skill,
Resign'd obey his blessed will;
For each disease he knows what's fit,"
He's wise and good, and I submit.

3 Altho' his med'cine cause me smart,
And wound me in the tend❜rest part,
It is with a design to cure,

I must and will his touch endure.
4 Lord Jesus Christ, afford me grace,
In ev'ry trial thee to praise:
O let thy sacred will be mine,
To thee myself I now resign..

3 Did ever mourner plead with thee, And thou refuse that mourner's plea ? Doth not the word still fix'd remain, That none shall seek thy face in vain ?

4 That were a grief I could not bear, Didst thou not hear and answer pray'r;. But a pray't-hearing, answ'ring God, Supports me under, ev'ry load."

5 Poor tho' I am, despis'd, forgot, Yet God, my God, forgets me not; And he is safe, and must succeed, For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead.

547.* T. 580. JESUS, our Guardian, Guide and Friend, Now thy protecting wings extend,

Thy children save from harm; Would Satan seek us to devour, Against his malice, craft and pow'r, Defend us by thy outstretch'd arm.

548. T. 68.
THANKS for ever be,
Jesus, unto thee,

That thy strength doth us enable
To adhere to thee, tho' feeble ;
That thou hear'st our pray❜rs,
And regard'st our tears.

549. T. 149.
MIDST all trials may I cleave
Unto thee, my Saviour;
Ah, my inmost soul doth grieve
When I miss that favor:
Might thy grace-but always,
And thy constant nearness,
Keep my soul in clearness!

550. T. 167.

THO' by trials strong surrounded
This poor heart is not confounded,
Yet thro' Jesus' gracious care,
He doth all my suff'rings share;
On his pow'rful aid reclining,

Calm I'll ev'ry grief sustain,
Bear the cross without repining,
Till the glorious crown I gain.

TE DEUM LAUDAMUS.

LORD GOD, thy praise we sing,
To thee our thanks we bring.
Both heav'nand earth doth worship thee,
Thou Father of eternity.
To thee all angels loudly cry,
The heav'ns and all the pow'rs on high:
Cherubs and seraphim proclaim
And cry thrice holy to thy name:
Holy is our Lord God,
Holy is our Lord God,
Holy is our Lord God,
The Lord of Sabaoth!

With splendor of thy glory spread
Is heav'n and earth replenished.
Th' apostles' glorious company,
The prophets' fellowship, praise thee.
The noble and victorious host
Of martyrs make of thee their boast.
The holy church, in ev'ry place
Throughout the earth, exalts thy praise.

Thee, Father, God on heav'ns throne Thy only and beloved Son,

The Holy Ghost, who Christ displays, The church doth worship thank and praise.

O Christ, thou glorious King we own Thee to be God's eternal Son. Thou, undertaking in our room, Didst not abhor the virgin's womb. The pains of death o'ercome by thee, Made heav'n to all believers free. At God's right hand thou hast thy seat, And in thy Father's glory great; And we believe the day's decreed, When thou shalt judge the quick & dead.

Promote, we'pray, thy servants' good, Redeem'd with thy most precious blood; Among thy saints make us ascend To glory that shall never end.

Thy people with salvation crown, Bless those, O Lord, that are thy own: Govern thy church, and, Lord, advance For ever thine inheritance.

From day to day, O Lord, do we
Highly exalt and honor thee:
Thy name we worship and adore,
World without end, for evermore.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, we humbly pray,
To keep us safe from sin this day.
O Lord, have mercy on us all;
Have mercy on us, when we call.
Thy mercy, Lord, to us dispense,
According to our confidence.
Lord, we have put our trust in thee,
Confounded let us never be.

glory to the sov'reign Good,
And Father of compassion!
To God our help and sure abode;
Whose gracious visitation
Renews his blessings ev'ry day,
And taketh all our griefs away:
Give to our God the glory!

2 The heav'nly hosts with awe show forth
The praise of their Creator;
All creatures, both in heav'n and earth,
Whate'er exists in nature,
Speak their divine Original,
Impress'd most wisely on them all:
Give to our God the glory!
3 What is created by our God
Enjoys his preservation;
He doth extend o'er all abroad

His father-like compassion;
Throughout the kingdom of his grace
Prevail his truth and righteousness:
Give to our God the glory!
4 In my distress I rais'd with faith
To God my supplication;
My Saviour rescu'd me from death,
And gave me consolation;
This makes my heart with, thankfulness
Rejoice before the God of grace:
Give to our God the glory!

5 The Lord hath ever to his flock.
Kept without separation;

Our peace and our salvation;
He leads us with a mother's care,
Protects from danger, guards from fear:

6 Yea, when all creatures here deny
Their help and consolation,
Our great Creator then is nigh

With succor and compassion,
And sets the humble souls at rest,
That live forsaken and opprest:

Give to our God the glory!

7 As long as I have breath in me
I will sound forth his praises;
His precious, saving name shall be
Exalted in all places;

My heart, with all thy strength adore
The God of grace, the God of pow'r,
And give him all the glory!

8 Ye who profess his sacred name,
Give to our God the glory!
Ye who his pow'r know and pro-

The Lord is God, he's God indeed,
Give to our God the glory;

I'LL praise thee with my heart and
tongue,

O Lord, my soul's delight,
Declaring to the world in song
Thy glory, praise and might.

2 Thou art th' eternal Source of grace,
The Source of lasting bliss;
From thee unto the human race
Flows ev'ry happiness.

3 What are we? what do we possess,
While here on earth below,
Which thy great love and tenderness
Doth not on us bestow?

4 Who spreads the lofty firmament,
And starry skies around?
Who makes the dew and rain descend
To fructify the ground?

5 Who doth preserve our life and health,

Our ease and safe abode ?

Still his name by you be praised,
Who are seed to Abra'm raised,
Spread his acts in ev'ry nation,

Who doth secure our peace and wealth? Give him praises, give him thanks and

Our ever gracious God.

6 On thee, almighty Lord of hosts, Depends our life and all,

Thou keepest watch around our coasts, Protectest great and small.

7 Thy chastisements are nought but love; When we our sins confess, We thy forgiveness richly prove: 'Tis thy delight to bless.

8 Thou count'st thy children's sighs

and tears,

And know'st well why they mourn, No tear too mean to thee appears To put into thy urn.

9 Thou, when we are oppress'd with grief,

Dost us with pity view, Administ'ring thy kind relief, And lasting comfort too.

10 Why need we mourn, as in despair, And grieve both day and night? On him we'll cast our ev'ry care, Who gave us life and light. 11 Hath he not, from our earliest days,

Us nourish'd and maintain'd ? Safe guarded us in all our ways,

In dangers prov'd our Friend? 12 God never yet mistakes hath made In his vast government; No, what he doth permit or aid

Is blest in the event.

13 Then murmur not, but be resign'd
To his most holy will;
Peace, rest and comfort thou wilt find
My soul, in being still.

557.* T. 277. NOW unite to render praises ToJehovah, to our God, and magnify His great name in all your places, Ye his people, ye who are his property; For his goodness, love and favor To his children last for ever; He is full of truth and grace, Pard'ning all our trespasses;
