part - ing hymn of praise; We stand to bless Thee ere our wor-ship cease;

2 Grant us Thy peace upon our homeward way;
With Thee began, with Thee shall end the day:
Guard Thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame,
That in this house have called upon Thy Name.

3 Grant us Thy peace, Lord, through the coming night;
Turn Thou for us its darkness into light;

From harm and danger keep Thy children free,
For dark and light are both alike to Thee.

4 Grant us Thy peace throughout our earthly life,
Our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife;
Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease,
Call us, O Lord, to Thine eternal peace.

Rev. John Ellerton, 1866 (Text of 1868)

O re- fresh us, O re-fresh us, Travelling through this wil-der-ness. A - MEN.

I Now may He, who from the dead Brought the Shep-herd of the sheep,

Jesus Christ, our King and Head, All our souls in safe-ty keep. A

By day, by night; at home, a broad, I would be still with Thee. A - MEN.

I Ho-ly, Ho-ly, Ho ly, Lord God Al-might- y! Ear-ly

Mer-ci- ful and Might-y! God in Three Per-sons, bless-ed Trin-i

2 Holy, Holy, Holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

3 Holy, Holy, Holy! Though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see,
Only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee

Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

4 Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty!

All Thy works shall praise Thy Name, in earth and sky and sea ;
Holy, Holy, Holy! Merciful and Mighty!

God in Three Persons, blessèd Trinity!

Arr. from Christopher Tye, 1553

I O God, we praise Thee; and con- fess That Thou, the only Lord

And Everlasting Father, art

By all the earth a-dored. A - MEN.

2 To Thee all angels cry aloud;
To Thee the powers on high,
Both cherubim and seraphim,
Continually do cry :-

3 O Holy, Holy, Holy Lord,

Whom heavenly hosts obey, The world is with the glory filled Of Thy majestic ray.

4 The apostles' glorious company, And prophets crowned with light,

With all the martyrs' noble host,
Thy constant praise recite.

5 The holy Church throughout the world,
O Lord, confesses Thee,
That Thou Eternal Father art,
Of boundless majesty ;

6 Thy honored, true, and only Son;
And Holy Ghost, the Spring

Of never-ceasing joy: O Christ,
Of glory Thou art King.

Anon. (Latin, 5th Century.) Tr. Tate and Brady's Supplement, c. 1700

God the Father Almighty

35 (DUNDEE) C. M.

I GOD moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform ;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.

2 Deep in unfathomable mines

Of never-failing skill

He treasures up His bright designs,
And works His sovereign will.

3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread

Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.

4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace ;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His work in vain ;
God is His own Interpreter,
And He will make it plain.
