2 We praise Thee for the means of grace, Thus in Thy courts to seek Thy face. Grant, Lord, that we who worship here May all, at last, in heaven appear. 53 Anon. L. M. DISMISS us with Thy blessing, Lord; 2 Though we are guilty, Thou art good; 54 ALMIGHTY God, Thy word is cast J. Hart. 2 Let not the foe of Christ and man But give it root in praying souls 3 Let not the world's deceitful cares 4 Let not Thy word, so kindly sent C. M. 1 J. Cawood. 55 L. M. NEW every morning is the love Our wakening and uprising prove; 2 New mercies, each returning day, 3 If on our daily course our mind New treasures still, of countless price, 4 Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be, 5 The trivial round, the common task, 6 Only, O Lord, in Thy dear love, 56 J. Keble.
