Not for the pious dead we weep,
Not for the prophet tongue of fire,
Not for the summer's hour alone,
Not in the church-yard shall he sleep,
Not with terror do we meet, .
Not with the flashing steel,

No warlike sounds awoke the night,
No war nor battle's sound,

Now, gracious Lord, thine arm reveal,
Now is the day of grace,.

Now let our prayers ascend to thee,

Now, Lord, the heavenly seed is sown,
Now pray we for our country,
Now the shades of night are gone,
Now to the Lord a noble song,
O bow thine ear, Eternal One,
O cease, my wandering soul,.
O come, and let th' assembly all,
O come, loud anthems let us sing,

O could we speak the matchless worth,
O'er mountain tops the mount of God,"
O'er the dark wave of Galilee,
O Father, draw us after thee,

O Father, though the anxious fear,
O for a closer walk with God,
O for a faith that will not shrink,
O for a heart to praise my God,
O for a prophet's fire,.

O for a shout of sacred joy,
O for the death of those,.

O God, by whom the seed is given,
O God, my Father, and my King,
O God, my helper, ever near,
O God, my strength, my hope,
O God of Freedom, hear us pray,
O God of love, with cheering ray,
O God, that madest earth and sky,
O God, thou art my God alone,
O God, thy grace impart,

O God, thy name they well may praise,

O God unseen, but not unknown,

O God, we praise thee, and confess,

Oppression shall not always reign,

O render thanks to God above,.

O shut not out sweet pity's ray,

O sinner, bring not tears alone,.

O stay thy tears, for they are blest,
O sweet it is to know, to feel,
O that the Lord would guide my ways,
O Thou, at whose dread name we bend,
O Thou, by long experience tried,
O Thou, enthroned in worlds above,

O Thou from whom all goodness flows,

O thou sun of glorious splendor,
O Thou, to whom all creatures bow,
O Thou, to whom in ancient time,
O Thou, who art above all height,
O Thou, who didst ordain the word,
O Thou, who driest the mourner's tear,
O Thou, who hast at thy command,
O Thou, who hast spread out the skies,

O Thou, who on thy chosen Son,

Our God, our help in ages past,

Our God, where'er thy people meet,
Our Heavenly Father calls,
Our Heavenly Father, hear,
Our heaven is everywhere,

Our little bark on boisterous seas,
Our pilgrim brethren dwelling far,
Ours is a lovely world, how fair,
Our times are in thy hand, and Thou,
O weep not for the joys that fade,
O what amazing words of grace,

O what a struggle wakes within,

O what is life, it is like a flower,

O where, our Saviour, sweeps the line,

Shine forth, Eternal Source of light,
Shine on our souls, Eternal God, .
Since o'er thy footstool here below,
Sing, ye redeemed of the Lord,
Sinner, rouse thee from thy sleep,
Sister, thou wast mild and lovely,.
Slavery and death the cup contains,
So fades the lovely blooming flower,
Soft are the fruitful showers that bring,
Softly fades the twilight ray,
Softly now the light of day,.
Soldier to the contest pressing,
So let our lips and lives express,
Sometimes a light surprises,

Soon as I heard my Father say,
Soon will our fleeting hours be past, .

Sound the full chorus, let praises ascend,

Sovereign of life, before thine eye,
Sovereign of worlds above,

Sow in the morn thy seed,

Spirit of grace, and help, and power,
Stand up and bless the Lord,

[ocr errors]

Still in shades of midnight darkness,
Stretched on the cross the Saviour dies,
Suppliant, lo! thy children bend,
Supreme and universal light,

Sweet day! so cool, so calm, so bright,
Sweet is the bliss of souls serene,
Sweet is the friendly voice,

Sweet is the prayer whose holy stream,
Sweet is the scene when virtue dies,
Sweet is the task, O Lord,
Sweet is the time of spring,

Sweet is the work, my God, my King,

Sweet to the soul the parting ray,
Swell the anthem, raise the song,
Talk with us, Lord, thyself reveal,

The air of death breathes through our souls,

The bird let loose in eastern skies, .

The Christian warrior, see him stand,

The darkened sky, how thick it lowers,
The day is past and gone,

The evils that beset our path,

The fountain in its source,

The glorious universe around,

The God of harvest praise,

The God of mercy will indulge,

The radiant dawn of gospel light,
There is a God, all nature speaks,
There is a hope, a blessed hope,
There is a land mine eye hath seen,
There is a land of pure delight,
There is an hour of peaceful rest,
There is a pure and peaceful wave,
There is a time when moments flow,.
There is a world we have not seen,

There's a refuge of peace from the tempests that beat,
There's not a star whose twinkling light,.
There's not a place in earth's vast round,
There sprang a tree of deadly name,
There was joy in heaven,

The saints on earth and those above,
The Saviour gently calls,

The Saviour, what a noble flame,

These mortal joys, how soon they fade,
The spacious firmament on high,
The spirit in our hearts,

The spirit moved upon the waves,.
The spring, the joyous spring is come,
The thing my God doth hate,

The triumphs of the martyred saints,
The turf shall be my fragrant shrine,
The vineyard of the Lord,

The wandering star and fleeting wind,

The year begins with promises,

They who seek the throne of grace,
Think gently of the erring,

This child we dedicate to thee,

This is the fast the Lord doth choose,....
This is the first and great command,.
This stone to thee in faith we lay,

Thou art, Almighty, Lord of all,
Thou art gone to the grave,.
Thou art, O God, the life and light,
