O not alone with outward sign,
On the first Christian Sabbath eve,.
On this fair spot where nature pays, .
On thy church, O Power Divine,.
Onward Christian, though the region,
Onward speed thy conquering flight,
On what has now been sown,
On Zion, his most holy mount,
On Zion's holy walls,

Open, Lord, my inward ear,

Oppression shall not always reign,

O praise ye the Lord, prepare a new song,
O render thanks to God above,.

O shut not out sweet pity's ray,

O sinner, bring not tears alone,

[ocr errors]

O speed thee, Christian, on thy way,.
O spirit of the living God, .

O stay thy tears, for they are blest,
O sweet it is to know, to feel,

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,

O Thou, whose own vast temple stands,

O Thou, whose power o'er moving worlds presides,

O timely happy, timely wise,

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,

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,

Swell the anthem, raise the song,

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,

[ocr errors]

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 day let grateful praise ascend,
This day the Lord hath called his own,
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,

Thou, Lord, by mortal eyes unseen,

Thou gavest, and we yield to thee,

Thou faint and sick, and worn away,

Though lost to out sight, we may not deplore thee,

Thou God of hope, to thee we bow,

Thou God of truth and love,

Thou, Lord, by strictest search hast known,
Thou must go forth alone, my soul,

Thou power supreme, whose mighty scheme,
Thou whose wide extended sway, .

Thrice happy soul, who, born from heaven,
Through all the changing scenes of life,
Through endless years thou art the same,
Through every age, Eternal God,
Through sorrow's night and danger's way,
Through the day thy love has spared us,
Through thee we now together come,
Thus far the Lord has led me on,
Thus saith the first, the great command,
Thus saith the high and lofty One,

Thus saith the Lord who built the heavens,

Thus shalt thou love th' Almighty Lord,
Th' uplifted eye and bended knee,.
Thy kingdom, Lord, forever stands,
Thy life I read, my dearest Lord,
Thy name be hallowed, evermore,.
Thy presence everlasting God,
Thy presence, gracious God, afford,
Thy ways, O Lord, with wise design,
Times without number have I prayed,
Time by moments steals away,
Time! what an empty vapor 't is,
Tis a point I long to know,.
Tis by the faith of joys to come,

Tis done, the great transaction 's done,

'Tis finished, so the Saviour cried,
"Tis God the spirit leads, .

Tis good to weep and mourn for those,
'Tis gone, that bright and orbed blaze,
'Tis midnight, and on Olive's brow,
'Tis my happiness below,
