HYMNS TO THE TUNE "GREENVILLE."
Prayer for a revival.
1. SAVIOUR visit thy plantation;
Grant us, Lord, a gracious rain; All will come to desolation, Unless thou return again.
Heavenly Father, deign to mould it In obedience to thy will; And, as passing years unfold it,
Keep it meek and childlike still. 2. Father, make it pure and lowly, Peaceful, kind, and far from strife, Turning from the paths unholy
Of this vain and sinful life. May the blood of Jesus heal it, And its sins be all forgiven: Holy Spirit, take and seal it; Guide it in the path to heaven.
A Blessing sought. 1. HEAVENLY Father, grant thy blessing, While once more thy praise we sing: Sinful hearts and lives confessing, Nothing worthy can we bring; Yet thy book of love hath taught us, Thou wilt kindly bow thine ear: For the sake of him who bought us, We may call and thou wilt hear. 2. What a boon to us is given,
Thus to lift our voice on high; Well assured the ear of Heaven Hears our wants, and will supply. Weak and sinful,-oh, how often Must we look to God alone, For his grace our hearts to soften, And sustain us as his own!
2. Palms of victory strewn around him, Garments spread beneath his feet, Prophet of the Lord they crowned him, In fair Salem's crowded street, While Hosannas
From the lips of children greet. 3. Blessed Saviour, now triumphant, Glorified and throned on high, Mortal lays from man or infant, Vain to tell thy praise essay; But Hosannas,
Swell the chorus of the sky.
