Majesty is thine for ever; Ever be thy name adored. And David said, "Blessed be Thou." 63. 1 CHRON. xxix; 10-23. 1. BLEST be thou, O God of Israel! Thou, our Father and our Lord! Majesty is thine for ever; Ever be thy name adored. 2. Thine, O Lord, are power and greatness; Riches come of thee, and honor: Only thine to make us strong. 4. Lord, our God, for these thy bounties, Hymns of gratitude we raise; To thy name, for ever glorious, Ever we address our praise. . Father, Source of all compassion, Pure, unbounded grace is thine: Hail the God of our salvation! Praise him for his love divine. . For ten thousand blessings given, Sound his praise thro' earth and heaven, 4. Joyfully on earth adore him, Till in heaven our song we raise; There, enraptured, fall before him, Lost in wonder, love, and praise. 65. Prayer for the Saviour': guidance. 1. GENTLY, Lord! oh, gently lead us Through this lonely vale of tears; Through the changes thou'st decreed us Till our last great change appears. 2. When temptation's darts assail us, When in devious paths we stray, Let thy goodness never fail us; Lead us in thy perfect way. 3. In the hour of pain and anguish, In the hour when death draws near, 4. And, when mortal life is ended PRAISE the God of our salvation, Praise the Father's boundless love Praise the Spirit from above: To the one Jehovah give! 1. SOFTLY fades the twilight ray 2. Peace is on the world abroad; 3. Still the Spirit lingers near, Where the evening worshiper Seeks communion with the skies, Pressing onward to the prize. 4. Saviour, may our Sabbaths be Days of peace and joy in thee! Till in heaven our souls repose, Where the Sabbath ne'er shall close. 67. 1. THOU, from whom we never part, 2 Father, fill our hearts with love, 8. Heavenly Father! thro' the night Keep us safe from every ill; Cheerful as the morning light, May we wake to do thy will. 68. 1 CORINTHIANS ii: 4. 1. FATHER, bless thy word to all, 4. Sing we to our God above 69. 1. SOFTLY now the light of day SING we to our God above day is de-clining, Safety and in-no-cence fly with the light, Temptation and Sav-iour of all; Fee-ble and faint-ing, we trust in Thy might,In doubting and danger walk forth with the night; From the fall of the shade till the morning bells darkness Thy love be our light; Let us sleep on Thy breast while the night taper chime, Shield me from danger, save me from crime. Father,have mercy, Father,have burns, Wake in Thy arms when morning re-turns. Father, &c. mercy, Father, have mercy thro' Jesus Christ our Lord. 24 The Scriptures. DR. L. MASON. UXBRIDGE. L. M. 1. The heavens declare thy glo- ry, Lord; In ev'ry star thy wis - dom shines; But when our eyes be-hold thy word, We read thy name in fair - er lines. 76. The Works and the Word of God. 2. THE rolling sun, the changing light, 3. Sun, moon, and stars convey thy praise Till thro' the world thy truth hath run; 77. The Gospel. Makes his eternal counsels known: 2. Here sinners, of an humble frame, 3. Here faith reveals to mortal eyes A brighter world beyond the skies; 1. Now let my soul, eternal King, To thee its grateful tribute bring; 3. Here what delightful truths I read! |
