[H. 190. HERE high the heavenly temple stands,

WHE

The house of God not made with hands,
A great High Priest our nature wears,
The Advocate of saints appears.

3. Though now ascended up on high,
He bends on earth a brother's eye;
Partaker of the human name,
He knows the frailty of our frame.

5. In every pang that rends the heart,
The man of sorrows had a part;
He sympathizes in our grief,
And to the sufferer sends relief.

6. With boldness, therefore, at the throne,
Let us make all our sorrows known;
And ask the aids of heavenly power,
To help us in the evil hour.

3. Before him thy protection send,
O love him, save him to the end:

Nor let him, as thy pilgrim rove,
Without the convoy of thy love.

4. Enlarge, inflame, and fill his heart;
In him thy mighty power exert;
That thousands yet unborn may praise
The wonders of redeeming grace.

Made us of clay, and form'd us men; And when, like wandering sheep, we stray'd,

He brought us to his fold again.

3. We are his people, we his care,
Our souls and all our mortal frame:
What lasting honors shall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to thy name!

4. We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs,

High as the heavens our voices raise : And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.

5. Wide as the world is thy command, Vast as eternity thy love;

Firm as a rock thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move. Sel. 58.

[Ps. 117, P. 2. FROM all that dwell below the skies,

Let the Creator's praise arise:
Let the Redeemer's name be sung
Through every land, by every tongue.
2. Eternal are thy mercies, Lord;
Eternal truth attends thy word;

Of boundless love and grace unknown, Hide me beneath thy spreading wings, Till the dark cloud is overblown. 2. Up to the heavens I send my cry, The Lord will my desires perform; He sends his angels from the sky, And saves me from the threat'ning storm. 3. Be thou exalted, O my God, Above the heavens where angels dwell; Thy power on earth be known abroad, And land to land thy wonders tell.

shore,

Till suns shall set and rise no more.

Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Sel. 61. (Stanza 1 in Music, 6 omitted.) 2. Hell and thy sins resist thy course, But hell and sin are vanquish'd foes; Thy Jesus nail'd them to the cross, And sung the triumph when He rose. 3. What though the prince of darkness

rage,

And waste the fury of his spite;
Eternal chains confine him down,
To fiery deeps and endless night.

4. What though thy inward lusts rebel;
'Tis but a struggling gasp for life:
The weapons of victorious grace
Shall slay thy sins and end the strife.
5. Then let my soul march boldly on,
Press forward to the heavenly gate;
There peace and joy eternal reign,
And glittering robes for conquerors wait.

[H. 596.

(Stanzas 3, 5 omitted.) OD of the passing year, to thee With swelling heart and bending knee, We offer thee our song of praise.

2. We bless thy name, almighty God,

For all the kindness thou hast shown
To this fair land our fathers trod,
This land we fondly call our own.

4. We praise thee, that the gospel light,
Through all our land its radiance sheds;
Scatters the shades of error's night,
And heavenly blessings round us spreads.
6. O God, preserve us in thy fear,
In troublous times our helper be;
Diffuse thy truth's bright precepts here,
And may we worship only thee.
