2 Kneeling I worship Thee;
Dread o'er my spirit steals

From whispering sounds of those who kneel,

Unseen, to pray with me.

3 All round and far away
Clear is the solemn sky,

It seems all opening to my eye;
This is the Sabbath day.

Hymn 4.-GO, WHEN THE MORNING SHINETH.

bright; Go when the eve declineth, Go in the hush of

night. Go with a holy feeling, Fling earthly thought away,

And in thy chamber kneeling, Do thou in secret pray.

[graphic][subsumed]

Pray too for those that hate thee, If any such there be,

Then for thyself in meekness, Humbly a blessing claim,

Joining with each petition, Thy great Redeener's name.

In solitude to pray

Should holy thoughts come o'er thee,
When friends are round thy way;
E'en then the silent breathing
Thy spirit raised above,
Will reach his throne of glory,
Where he presides with love.

4 Oh! not a joy or blessing
With this can we compare,
He gave the power within us
That we might live with prayer!
Whene'er thou pin'st in sadness,
Down at his footstool fall,
Call to thy mind with gladness
His love who gave thee all.
