Isaiah xxxiii. 17. 'HOULD nature's charms, to please the eye, Sin sweet assemblage join, All nature's charms would droop and die, 2 Vain were her fairest beams display'd, 3 But ab, how far from mortal sight A veil of interposing night his radiant face conceals. 4 O could my longing spirit rise 5 There thousands worship at thy feets 6 Thy presence beams eternal day Who would not drop this load of clay, and die, to see thy face? FA HYMN 52. The Excellency and Sufficiency of the Scriptures. ATHER of mercies! in thy word what endless glory shines! For ever be thy name adored for these celestial lines. 2 Here may the wretched sons of want exhaustless riches find; Riches above what earth can grant, and lasting as the mind. 3 Here the fair tree of knowledge grows, and yields a free repast, Sublimer sweets than nature knows 4 Here the Redeemer's welcome voice attend the blissful sound. 5 O may these heavenly pages be my ever dear delight; And still new beauties may I see, and still increasing light. 6 Divine Instructor, gracious Lord, be thou for ever near; Teach me to love thy sacred word, and view my Saviour there.

Still walking downward to the tomb; and yet prepare no more? 4 Grant us the power of quickening grace, to fit our souls to fly; Then, when we drop this dying flesh, we'll rise above the sky. HYMN 65. A Charity Hymn. LORD of life, all praise excelling, 3 Thus thy care, for all providing, warm'd thy faithful prophet's tongue; Who, the lot of all deciding, to thy chosen Israel sung: 4 When thine harvest yields thee pleasure These thy God ordains to bless 5 When thine olive plants increasing, 6 When thy favour'd vintage flowing, 7 Still we read thy word declaring Mercy, every sorrow sharing, warms the heart resembling thee. 8 Still the orphan and the stranger, still the widow owns thy care, Screen'd by thee in every danger, heard by thee in every prayer. Hallelujah. Amen. HYMN 56. At the Ordination or Institution of a Minister. FATHER of mercies! in thy house 3 Hence sprang the Apostle's honour'd name, Sacred beyond heroic fame; Hence dictates the prophetic sage, 4 In lower forms, to bless our eyes, 5 From Christ their varied gifts derive, 7 Jesus our Lord, their hearts shall know F HYMN 57. Prayer for Ministers. ATHER of mercies! bow thine ear, 2 How great their work, how vast their charge! 3 Clothe, then, with energy divine Their words, and let those words be thine; 6 Let sinners break their massy chains, ¶ Whenever the Hymns are used at the celebration of divine service, a certain portion or vortions of the Psalms of David in metre shall also be sung.
