Hymn.

Patience and Meekness.

1 THOU Lamb of GOD, Thou Prince of Peace,
For Thee my thirsty soul doth pine;
My longing heart implores Thy grace,
O make me in 'Thy likeness shine!

2 With fraudless, even, humble mind,
Thy will in all things may
I see;
Through love be ev'ry wish resign'd,
And hallow'd my whole heart to Thee.

3 When pain o'er my weak flesh prevails,
With lamb-like patience arm my breast;
When grief my wounded soul assails,
In lowly meekness may I rest.

4 Close by Thy side still may I keep,
Howe'er life's various current flow;
With stedfast eye mark ev'ry step,

And follow Thee where'er Thou go.

5 Thou, LORD, the dreadful fight hast won;
Alone Thou hast the wine-press trod:
In me Thy strength'ning grace be shown,
O may I conquer through Thy blood!

6 So when on Zion Thou shalt stand,

And all heav'n's host adore their King, Shall I be found at Thy right hand,

And, free from pain, Thy glories sing.

Hymn.

Prayer:

1 COME, my soul, thy suit prepare,
JESUS loves to answer pray'r:
He Himself has bid thee pray,
Therefore will not say thee nay.

2 Thou art coming to a King,
Large petitions with Thee bring;
For his grace and pow'r are such,
None can ever ask too much.

3 With my burden I begin,

LORD, remove this load of sin!
Let Thy blood, for sinners spilt,
Set my conscience free from guilt.

4 LORD! I come to Thee for rest,
Take possession of my breast;
There Thy blood-bought right maintain,
And without a rival reign.

5 While I am a pilgrim here,
Let Thy love my spirit cheer;
As my Guide, my Guard, my Friend,
Lead me to my journey's end.

6 Show me what I have to do,
Ev'ry hour my strength renew;
Let me live a life of faith,
Let me die Thy people's death.

Prayer.

BEHOLD the throne of grace!
The promise calls me near;

There JESUS shows a smiling face,

And waits to answer pray'r.

That rich atoning blood,

Which sprinkled round I see,
Provides for those who come to GOD,
An all-prevailing plea.

My soul, ask what thou wilt,

Thou canst not be too bold:

Since His own blood for thee He spilt,
What else can he withhold?

Since 'tis the LORD's command,
My mouth I open wide;

LORD, open Thou Thy bounteous hand,

That I may be supplied.

Thine image, LORD, bestow,
Thy presence and Thy love;

I ask to serve Thee here below,
And reign with Thee above.

Teach me to live by faith,
Conform my will to Thine;

Let me victorious be in death,
And then in glory shine.

If Thou these blessings give,
And wilt my portion be,

Cheerful the world's poor toys I leave
To them who know not Thee.

Úymn.

Prayer.

1 COME let us lift our joyful eyes
Up to the courts above,

And smile to see our FATHER there
Upon a throne of love!

2 Once 'twas a seat of dreadful wrath,
And shot devouring flame;
Our GOD appear'd consuming fire,
And vengeance was His Name.

3 Rich were the drops of JESU's blood
That calm'd His frowning face,
That sprinkled o'er the burning throne,
And turn'd the wrath to grace.

4 Now we may bow before His feet,
And venture near the LORD;
No fiery cherub guards His seat,
Nor double-flaming sword.

5 The peaceful gates of heav'nly bliss
Are open'd by the SON;

High let us raise our notes of praise,
And reach th' Almighty's throne.

6 To Thee ten thousand thanks we bring, Great Advocate on high;

And glory to th' eternal King,
Who lays His anger by.

Hymn.

Prayer.

1 LORD, teach us how to pray aright,
With rev'rence and with fear:
Though dust and ashes in Thy sight,
We may, we must draw near.

2. We perish, if we cease from pray'r;
O grant us pow'r to pray:
And when to meet Thee we prepare,
LORD, meet us by the way.

3 Give deep humility; the sense
Of godly sorrow give ;
A strong desiring confidence
To hear Thy voice and live.
in

4 Faith the only sacrifice

That can for sin atone;

To cast our hopes, to fix our eyes
On CHRIST, and CHRIST alone.

5 Patience to watch, and wait, and weep,
Though mercy long delay;
Courage our fainting souls to keep,

And trust Thee though Thou slay.

6 Give these ;-and then Thy will be done : Thus strengthen'd with all might,

We, through the SPIRIT and Thy SON, Shall pray, and pray aright.
