3. By thine inspiring breath
Make every cloud of care,
And ev'n the gloomy vale of death,
A smile of glory wear.

4. Oh! fill thou every heart

With love to all our race;
Great Comforter, to us impart
These blessings of thy grace.

182.

The Spirits presence.

1. THE Comforter has come,

We feel his presence here,
Our hearts would now no longer roam,
But bow in filial fear.

2. This tenderness of love,

This hush of solemn power,-
"Tis heaven descending from above,
To fill this favored hour.

3. Earth's darkness all has fied,

Heaven's light serenely shines,
And every heart, divinely led,
To holy thought inclines.

4. No more let sin deceive,

Nor earthly cares betray,.
Oh, let us never, never grieve
The Comforter away!

Doxology.

THE Father and the Son

And Spirit we adore;

We praise, we bless, we worship thee. Both now and evermore!

ELYRIA, 78.

From CHERUBINI.

"Holy Spirit, all Divine !"

1. HOLY GHOST, with light divine,
Shine upon this heart of mine!
Chase the shades of night away,
Turn my darkness into day.

2. Holy Ghost, with power divine,
Cleanse this guilty heart of mine;
Long hath sin, without control,
Held dominion o'er my soul.

3. Holy Ghost, with joy divine,
Cheer this saddened heart of mine;
Bid my many woes depart,
Heal my wounded, bleeding heart!

4. Holy Spirit, all divine,

Dwell within this heart of mine; Cast down every idol-throne; Reign supreme, and reign alone! 184.

2 Cor. i; 22.

1. GRACIOUS Spirit, Love divine!
Let thy light within me shine;
All my guilty fears remove,
Fill me with thy heavenly love.
2. Speak thy pardoning grace to me,
Set the burdened sinner free;
Lead me to the Lamb of God,
Wash me in his precious blood.
3. Life and peace to me impart,
Seal salvation on my heart;
Breathe thyself into my breast,
Earnest of immortal rest.

4. Let me never from thee stray, Keep me in the narrow way; Fill my soul with joy divine, Keep me, Lord! for ever thine.

185.

"It is God that worketh in you."

1. HOLY GHOST, thou Source of light! We invoke thy kindling ray; Dawn upon our spirits' night, Turn our darkness into day. 2. To the anxious soul impart

Hope, all other hopes above; Stir the dull and hardened heart With a longing and a love. 3. Give the struggling peace for strife, Give the doubting light for gloom; Speed the living into life,

Warn the dying of their doom. 4. Work in all, in all renew,

Day by day, the life divine;
All our wills to thee subdue,
All our hearts to thee incline.

Life of all that lives below!
Let thy Spirit in us flow;
Let us all thy life receive,
From thee, in thee, ever live.

Doxology.

SING we to our God above
Praise eternal as his love;
Praise him, all ye heavenly host-
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

2. We are sinful: cleanse us, Lord;
We are faint; thy strength afford;
Lost-until by thee restored,
Comforter Divine !

3. Like the dew, thy peace distill;
Guide, subdue our wayward will,
Things of Christ unfolding still,
Comforter Divine!

4. In us, for us, intercede,

And, with voiceless groaning, plead
Our unutterable need,
Comforter Divine !

5. In us "Abba Father," cry-
Earnest of our bliss on high,
Seal of immortality-
Comforter Divine!

6. Search for us the depths of God;
Bear us up the starry road,
To the height of thine abode,
Comforter Divine!

2. Thou our feeble flesh hast worn;
Thou our mortal griefs hast borne;
Thou hast shed the human tear:
Gracious Saviour, hear!

3. When the heart is sad within,
With the thought of all its sin;
When the spirit shrinks with fear,
Gracious Saviour, hear!

4. Thou the shame, the grief, hast known;
Though the sins were not thine own,
Thou hast deigned their load to bear;
Gracious Saviour, hear '

1. LORD of mercy and of might,
Of mankind the life and light,
Maker, Teacher, Infinite-
Jesus, hear and save!

2. Strong Creator, Saviour mild,
Humbled to a little child,
Captive, beaten, bound, reviled-
Jesus, hear and save!

3. Borne aloft on angels' wings,
Throned above celestial things,
Lord of lords, and King of kings-
Jesus, hear and save!

4. Soon to come to earth again,

Judge of angels and of men,
Hear us now, and hear us then;
Jesus, hear and save!

1. LIFE is the time to serve the Lord, The time t' insure the great reward; And while the lamp holds out to burn, The vilest sinner may return.

2 Life is the hour that God has given T'escape from hell and fly to heaven; The day of grace,-and mortals may Secure the blessings of the day.

8 Then what my thoughts design to do,
My hands, with all your might pursue,
Since no device, nor work is found,
Nor faith, nor hope, beneath the ground.
4 There are no acts of pardon passed

In the cold grave to which we haste;
But darkness, death, and long despair
Reign in eternal silence there.

Is the Redeemer's great command: Nature must count her gold but dross, If she would gain this heavenly land. The fearful soul that tires and faints,

And walks the ways of God no more, Is but esteemed almost a saint,

And makes his own destruction sure. 4. Lord! let not all my hopes be vain; Create my heart entirely new; Which hypocrites could ne'er attain; Which false apostates never knew

1. DEEP are the wounds which sin has made; Where shall the sinner find a cure?

In vain, alas, is nature's aid;

The work exceeds all nature's power. 2. And can no sovereign balm be found? And is no kind physician nigh, To ease the pain and heal the wound, Ere life and hope forever fly? 3. There is a great physician near,

Look up, O fainting soul, and live; See, in his heavenly smiles appear Such ease as nature cannot give! 4. See, in the Saviour's dying blood,

Life, health, and bliss abundant flow! 'Tis only this dear sacred flood

Can ease thy pain, and heal thy woe.
