And, to make our safety sure,
Guides us by his Spirit pure.

4 Sing, my soul; adore his name ;
Let his glory be thy theme;

1

Praise him till he calls thee home;
Trust his love for all to come.

GRA

HYMN 23. S. M.

RACE! 'tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear;

Heaven with the echo shall resound,
And all the earth shall hear.

2 Grace first contrived a way
To save rebellious man,

And all the means that grace display, Which drew the wondrous plan. 3 Grace guides my wandering feet To tread the heavenly road, And new supplies each hour I meet, While pressing on to God.

4 Grace all the work shall crown
Through everlasting days;

It lays in heaven the topmost stone,
And well deserves the praise.

V. THE CHURCH.

HYMN 24. S. M.

IKE Noah's weary dove,
That soared the earth around,
But not a resting-place above
The cheerless waters found,-

2 O cease, my wandering soul,
On restless wing to roam;
All the wide world, to either pole,
Has not for thee a home.

3 Behold the Ark of God,

Behold the open door;

Hasten to gain that dear abode,

And rove, my soul, no more.

4 There, safe, thou shalt abide;
There, sweet shall be thy rest,
And every longing satisfied,
With full salvation blessed.

5 And, when the waves of ire
Again the earth shall fill,

The Ark shall ride the sea of fire-
Then rest on Zion's hill.

זי

HYMN 25. S. M.

LOVE thy kingdom, Lord,
The house of thine abode,

The Church our blessed Redeemer saved
With his own precious blood.

2 I love thy Church, O God!

Her walls before thee stand,
Dear as the apple of thine eye,
And graven on thy hand.

3 If e'er, to bless thy sons,

My voice or hands deny,

These hands let useful skill forsake,

This voice in silence die.

4 If e'er my heart forget

Her welfare, or her wo,
Let every joy this heart forsake,
And every grief o'erflow.

5 For her my tears shall fall,

For her my prayers ascend;

To her my cares and toils be given,
Till toils and cares shall end.

6 Beyond my highest joy

I prize her heavenly ways,

Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise.

7 Jesus, thou Friend divine,

Our Saviour and our King,

Thy hand from every snare and foe
Shall great deliverance bring.

8 Sure as thy truth shall last,
To Zion shall be given

The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven.

NOT

HYMN 26. C. M.

Hebrews, xii. 18, 22-24.

TOT to the terrors of the Lord,
The tempest, fire and smoke;
Not to the thunder of that word
Which God on Sinai spoke ;-
2 But we are come to Zion's hill,
The city of our God,

Where milder words declare his will,
And spread his love abroad.

3 Behold the innumerable host
Of angels clothed in light!
Behold the spirits of the just,
Whose faith is changed to sight!
4 Behold the blessed assembly there,
Whose names are writ in heaven!
Hear God, the Judge of all, declare
Their sins, through Christ, forgiven!
5 Angels, and living saints and, dead,
But one communion make;
All join in Christ, their vital Head,
And of his love partake.

B

HYMN 27. S. M.

LESSED is the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love:
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.

2 Before our Father's throne

We pour united prayers;

Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.

3 We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.

4 When we at death must part,

How keen, how deep the pain!
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.

5 From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin, we shall be free;

1

And perfect love and friendship reign
Throughout eternity.

HYMN 28. II. 1.

Psalm cxxii.

The Church in Glory.

ITH joy shall I behold the day,
That calls my willing soul away,

To dwell among the blessed;

For, lo! my great Redeemer's power
Unfolds the everlasting door,

And points me to his rest.

2 Even now, to my expecting eyes,
The heaven-built towers of Salem rise;
Their glory I survey;

I view her mansions, that contain
The angel host, a beauteous train,
And shine with cloudless day.

3 Thither, from earth's remotest end,
Lo! the redeemed of God ascend,
Borne on immortal wing;

There, crowned with everlasting joy,
In ceaseless hymns their tongues employ
Before the Almighty King.

4 The King a seat hath there prepared,
High on eternal base upreared,

For his eternal Son;

His palaces with joy abound;

His saints, by him with glory crowned,

Attend, and share his throne.

5 Mother of cities, o'er thy head

Bright peace, with healing wings outspread, For evermore shall dwell:

Let me, blessed seat, my name behold

Among thy citizens enrolled,

And bid the world farewell.

HYMN 29. L. M.

Isaiah lii. 1, 2.

1 RIUMPHANT Zion, lift thy head From dust, and darkness, and the dead:

Though humbled long, awake, at length,
And gird thee with thy Saviour's strength.
2 Put all thy beauteous garments on,
And let thy excellence be known:
Decked in the robes of righteousness,
The world thy glories shall confess.
3 No more shall foes unclean invade,
And fill thy hallowed walls with dread;
No more shall hell's insulting host
Their victory and thy sorrows boast.

4 God from on high has heard thy prayer,
His hand thy ruins shall repair:
Nor will thy watchful Monarch cease
To guard thee in eternal peace.

THE LORD'S DAY.

HYMN 30. II. 4.

AWAKE! ye saints, awake!

And hail this sacred day;

In loftiest songs of praise

Your joyful homage pay :

Welcome the day that God hath blessed,

The type of heaven's eternal rest.

On this auspicious morn

The Lord of life arose;

He burst the bars of death,

And vanquished all our foes:

And now he pleads our cause above,
And reaps the fruits of all his love.

All hail, triumphant Lord!

Heaven with hosannas rings,
And earth, in humbler strains,
Thy praise responsive sings :

Worthy the Lamb, that once was slain,
Through endless years to live and reign.

Great King, gird on thy sword,
Ascend thy conquering car,
