575. T. 595.

To God the only wise,

Our Saviour and our King, Let all the saints below the skies Their humble praises bring.

2 'Tis his almighty love, His counsel and his care,

579.* T. 155.

THOU, my Light, my Leading-star, Who hast kindly me directed,

And protected;

When thy mercies, daily new, I review,

In the dust I fall before thee, Lost in wonder I adore thee,

Preserves us safe from sin and death, They are great, yea numberless.

And ev'ry hurtful snare.

3 He will present our souls
Unblemish'd and complete,
Before the glory of his face,
With joys divinely great.
4 Once all the chosen race

Shall meet around the throne,
Shall praise him for his saving grace,
And make his wonders known.
5 To our Redeemer-God,
Wisdom and pow'r belongs,
Immortal crowns of majesty,
And everlasting songs.
576.

T. 83. Now with joyful songs appear, And with humble adoration, 'Fore the Lord, he's always near To his ransom'd congregation. With the poor he deigns to dwell: He is nam'd Immanuel.

WHEN all thy mercies, Lord, to mind we call,

Astonish'd at thy feet we humbly fall. Grant us still in future, thy kind direction,

Till in us all the aim of thy election Be quite obtain'd.

· 580. T. 249.
IN humble, grateful lays,
The Lord :||: of hosts we praise,
His saving name confess;
Yea, fill'd with holy awe, revere
The Father, Son and Comforter.
Amen, Hallelujah!
Hallelujah,

Amen, Hallelujah!

2 Praise to the slaughter'd Lamb!
His love :: we will proclaim,
Who dy'd, us to redeem;
Let ev'ry being that hath breath,
Extol his meritorious death.
From angels and from men,
To the Lamb slain
All honour doth pertain.

3 As oft as I approach the holy place,
And bow 'fore him, by whom I live
thro' grace,

Then graciously he answers my request,
And thus my troubled heart is sooth'd

to rest.

4 He is my All, my Sacrifice and Priest,
My Lord and God, my Saviour Jesus
Christ.

His am I both in body and in soul,
Me neither sin, nor Satan can control.

And to relieve my wants is nigh,
This yields me joy!

While here I live.

I of his love fresh proofs receive,

His love to me is tender;
Therefore I now my all to him surrender;

3 Grant me a harmless, dove-like mind, To true humility inclin'd,

Thy will be mine indeed;
O may I labor constantly
Endow'd with spirit's poverty,

From ev'ry hurtful influence freed.

4 In peace with all may I be found,
Clearly thy gospel-truth propound,
In praying faithful be;

A share in others' welfare take,
The schemes and plots of Satan break,
Fast bound unto thy church and thee.
5 Presence of mind on me bestow,
A readiness O may I show
To execute thy will;
When I enjoy the highest good,
Partaking of thy flesh and blood,
My soul with thy love's ardor fill.
6 May I be serious, childlike too,
In all essentials firm and true;

Give me a trusty ear;

A constant, genuine brother's heart,
To sympathize with ev'ry smart,

And gladly others' burdens bear. 7 In converse make me tractable And mild, in storms invincible,

And never prone to yield;
May I maintain incessantly
A tender fellowship with thee,
From day to day by grace upheld.
8 Thy unction O may I obey,
And tread the pilgrim's rugged way,
Grant I may shun no toil;

In all

my senses render me
Well exercis'd, and let me be
Anointed with thy gladd'ning oil.
9 What for myself I thus request,
That pray I also for the rest

Of those, who cheerfully
Go forth salvation to proclaim
Thro' faith in thy most holy name,

Wherever they are sent by thee. 10 O Father, me with pleasure own The dear-bought purchase of thy Son;

O Spirit, bless thou me,

Guide and protect me as thy child; Lord Christ, who me hast reconcil'd Preserve me thine eternally,

FLOCK of Christ, in fellowship
Offer fervent supplication,
Whether to rejoice, or weep,
We may now have most occasion;
When the lips no more can pray,

Sighs will find to him their way.

Dost minister! thy church supply
With incense for her pray'r;
Grant to us all a cheerful heart;.
A burning, steady light impart,

Defended from all noxious air.
2 Lord, give us an attentive ear,
Which may thy voice distinctly hear,
An eye to view thee still;
And feet earth's rugged craggy ways
And priestly lips to tell thy praise,
To traverse, without fearing ill
Our hands for blessing hallow'd be,
Our bodies temples be to thee,

Grant us, thy still small voice to hear,
A breeze divine our spirits cheer,
Unknown, save to thy flock of grace.

The wonders of his grace;
A constant deep impression
Of Jesus' wounds and passion,
And simple, childlike cheerfulness.

Pour fire and spirit's fervor
