I JESUS, lead us with Thy power
Safe unto the promised rest;
Hide our souls within Thy bosom ;
Let us slumber on Thy breast.

2 Feed us with the heavenly manna,
Bread that angels eat above;
Let us from the holy fountain
Drink of everlasting love.

3 Through the desert wild conduct us
With a glorious pillar bright,
In the day a cooling comfort,
And a cheering fire by night.

4 Be our Guide in every peril,
Watch us hourly night and day;
Otherwise we err and wander
From Thy Spirit far away.

5 In Thy presence we are happy;
In Thy presence we're secure ;
In Thy presence all afflictions
We can easily endure:

6 In Thy presence we can conquer,

We can suffer, we can die;
Far from Thee we faint and languish ;
Lord, our Saviour, keep us nigh!

915

I HAIL, Thou God of grace and glory,
Who Thy Name hast magnified
By redemption's wondrous story,
By the Saviour crucified.

2 Thanks to Thee for every blessing
Flowing from the fount of love;
Thanks for present good unceasing,
And for hopes of bliss above.

3 Hear us, as thus bending lowly

Near Thy bright and burning throne,
We invoke Thee, God Most Holy,
Through Thy well-beloved Son!

4 Send the baptism of Thy Spirit,
Shed the pentecostal fire;
Let us all Thy grace inherit;

Waken, crown each good desire.

5 Bind Thy people, Lord, in union,
With the sevenfold cord of love;
Breathe a spirit of communion
With the glorious hosts above.

6 Let Thy work be seen progressing;
Bow each heart and bend each knee;
Till the world Thy truth possessing,
Celebrates its Jubilee.

BETHUNE. L. M. 6 lines.

I ETERNAL FATHER, strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless

wave,

Who bid'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!

2 O Christ, whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at Thy word,
Who walkedst on the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
Oh hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!

3 Most Holy Spirit, who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And bid its angry tumult cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace;
Oh hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!

4 O Trinity of love and power,

Our brethren shield in danger's hour; From rock and tempest, fire and foe, Protect them wheresoe'er they go:

Thus evermore shall rise to Thee

Glad hymns of praise from land and sea!

917

I WHILE o'er the deep Thy servants sail, Send Thou, O Lord, the prosperous

gale;

And on their hearts, where'er they go, Oh let Thy heavenly breezes blow.

2 If on the morning's wings they fly,

They will not pass beyond Thine eye; The wanderer's prayer Thou bend'st to hear,

And faith exults to know Thee near.

3 When tempests rock the groaning bark, Oh hide them safe in Jesus' ark; When in the tempting port they ride, Oh keep them safe at Jesus' side.

4 If life's wide ocean smile or roar,

Still guide them to the heavenly shore; And grant their dust in Christ may sleep,

Abroad, at home, or in the deep.
