Look upon the Mediator,

Clothe us with his righteousness;
Heavenly Father,

Through the Saviour hear and bless.

2.

Holy Jesus, Lord of glory,

Whom angelic hosts proclaim, While we hear thy wondrous story, Meet and worship in thy name, Dear Redeemer,

In our hearts thy peace proclaim.

3.

Holy Spirit, Sanctifier,

Come with unction from above, Raise our hearts to raptures higher, Fill them with the Saviour's love! Source of comfort,

Cheer us with the Saviour's love.

4.

God the Lord, through every nation
Let thy wondrous mercies shine!
In the song of thy salvation

Every tongue and race combine!
Great Jehovah,

Form our hearts and make them thine.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

PRAISE

HYMN 42. 7s.

ORAISE to God, immortal praise,
For the love that crowns our days;

Bounteous source of every joy,
Let thy praise our tongues employ:
All to thee, our God, we owe,
Source whence all our blessings flow.

2.

All the blessings of the fields,
All the stores the garden yields,
Flocks that whiten all the plain,
Yellow sheaves of ripen'd grain;
Lord, for these our souls shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise.

3.

Clouds that drop their fattening dews,
Suns that genial warmth diffuse,
All the plenty summer pours,
Autumn's rich o'erflowing stores;
Lord, for these our souls shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise.

4.

Peace, prosperity, and health,
Private bliss and public wealth,

Knowledge, with its gladdening streams,

Pure religion's holier beams;

Lord, for these our souls shall raise

Grateful vows and solemn praise.

HYMN 43. 6s. 48.

OD bless our native land!

Through storm and night;
When the wild tempests rave,
Ruler of winds and wave,
Do thou our country save
By thy great might.

2.

For her our prayer shall rise
To God, above the skies,
On him we wait;
Thou who art ever nigh,
Guarding with watchful eye,
To thee aloud we cry,
God save the State!

SAV

BAPTISM.

HYMN 44. 88, 7s.

AVIOUR, who thy flock art feeding, With the shepherd's kindest care,

All the feeble gently leading,

While the lambs thy bosom share:

2.

Now, these little ones receiving,
Fold them in thy gracious arm;
There, we know, thy word believing,
Only there secure from harm.

3.

Never from thy pasture roving,
Let them be the lion's prey;
Let thy tenderness, so loving,

Keep them all life's dangerous way.

Then, within thy fold eternal,
Let them find a resting place;
Feed in pastures ever vernal,
Drink the rivers of thy grace.

SA

HYMN 45. 8s, 7s, 4s.

AVIOUR, like a shepherd lead us, Much we need thy tender care; In thy pleasant pastures feed us; For our use thy folds prepare; Blessed Jesus!

Thou hast bought us, thine we are.

2.

Thou hast promised to receive us,
Poor and simple though we be;
Thou hast mercy to relieve us;
Grace to cleanse, and power to free:
Blessed Jesus!

Let us early turn to thee.

3.

Early let us seek thy favor,
Early let us learn thy will;
Do thou, Lord, our only Saviour,
With thy love our bosoms fill:
Blessed Jesus!

Thou hast loved us-love us still.

HYMN 46. S. M.

OLDIERS of Christ, arise,

SOLDIE

And put your armor on;

Strong in the strength which God supplies

Through his eternal Son.

2.

Strong in the Lord of hosts,

And in his mighty power;
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts,
Is more than conqueror.

3.

Stand, then, in his great might,
With all his strength endued;
And take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God;

That, having all things done,
And all your conflicts past,
Ye may behold your victory won,
And stand complete at last.

LORD'S SUPPER.

HYMN 47. L. M.

TO Jesus, our exalted Lord,

That name in heaven and earth adored, Fain would our hearts and voices raise A cheerful song of sacred praise.

2.

But all the notes which mortals know
Are weak, and languishing, and low;
Far, far above our humble songs,
The theme demands immortal tongues.
