bb 5

2 O, for a sight, a pleasing sight,

Of our almighty Father's throne! There sits our Saviour, crowned with light, Clothed in a body like our own. Adoring saints around Him stand,

And thrones and powers before Him fall; The God shines gracious through the Man, And sheds sweet glories on them all.

3 O, what amazing joys they feel, While to their golden harps they sing, And sit on every heavenly hill,

And spread the triumph of their King! When shall the day, dear Lord, appear, That I shall mount, to dwell above, And stand, and bow, among them there, And view Thy face, and sing, and love!

From its pri- mal sleep,- Holy Spirit, breath- ing Breath of life

di - vine,

Breathe in to

our spirits, Blending them with Thine.

Light and Life Im-mor-tal!

Hear us

as we raise Hearts, as well as voic-es, Mingling prayer and praise. A MEN.

2 When the sun ariseth

In a cloudless sky,

May we feel Thy presence,
Holy Spirit, nigh;
Shed Thy radiance o'er us,
Keep it cloudless still,
Through the day before us,
Perfecting Thy will.

Light and Life Immortal! etc.

3 When the fight is fiercest
In the noontide heat,
Bear us, Holy Spirit,
To our Saviour's feet,
There to find a refuge

Till our work is done,
There to fight the battle
Till the battle 's won.

Light and Life Immortal! etc.

At anchor laid, remote from home, Toiling, I cry," Sweet Spir - it, come! Ce

les-tial breeze, no longer stay, But swell my sails, and speed my way. A-MEN.

2 O sweetest taste within the breast, O grace upon us poured,
That saintly hearts may give again their perfume to the Lord;
O purest fountain! we can see, clear mirrored in thy streams,
That God brings home the wanderers, that God the lost redeems.

3 O breastplate strong to guard our life, O bond of unity,
O girdle of all righteousness, save all who trust in Thee;
Defend those who in dungeons dark are prisoned by the foe,
And let the suffering captives all Thy saving comfort know.

4 O surest way, that through the height, and through the lowest deep,
And through the earth dost pass, and all in firmest union keep, —
From Thee the clouds of ether move, from Thee the moisture flows,
From Thee the waters draw their rills, and earth with verdure glows.

5 And Thou dost ever teach the wise, and freely on them pour
The inspiration of Thy gifts, the treasures of Thy lore;
All praise to Thee, O joy of life, O hope and strength, we raise,
Who givest us the prize of light, who art Thyself all praise.
