2. I've seen thy glory and thy power
Through all thy temple shine;
My God, repeat that heavenly hour,
That vision so divine.

3. Not all the blessings of a feast

Can please my soul so well,
As when thy richer grace I taste,
And in thy presence dwell.

4. Not life itself, with all its joys,
Can my best passions move,

Or raise so high my cheerful voice,
As thy forgiving love.

5. Thus till my last expiring day,

I'll bless my God and King; Thus will I lift my hands to pray, And tune my lips to sing.

I think upon my ways,

Then turn my feet to thy commands,

And trust thy pardoning grace.

5. Now I am thine, for ever thine,

O save thy servant, Lord;

Thou art my Shield, my Hiding-place,
My hope is in thy word.

[word,

And at our Father's loved abode
Our souls arrive in peace.

Such blessings from thy gracious hand
Our humble prayers implore;

And thou shalt be our chosen God,
And portion evermore.

Dr. L. MASON.

2. He, Lord of all the worlds on high,
Stoops to converse with you;
And lays his radiant glories by,
Your friendship to pursue.

3. "The soul that longs to see my face, Is sure my love to gain;

And those that early seek my grace,
Shall never seek in vain."

4. What object, Lord, my soul should
If once compared with thee? [move,
What beauty should command my love,
Like what in Christ I see?

5. Away, ye false, delusive toys,
Vain tempters of the mind;
'Tis here I fix my lasting choice,
And here true bliss I find.

To make the scales of error fall
From reason's darken'd eyes;

4. To chase the shades of death away,
And bid the sinner live:

A beam of heaven, a vital ray, 'Tis thine alone to give.

5. Renew these wretched hearts of ours, O! give us life divine:

Then shall our passions and our
Almighty Lord, be thine.

(Stanzas 5-7 omitted.)
LORD, our languid souls inspire,
For here, we trust, thou art:
Kindle a flame of heavenly fire,

In every waiting heart.

2. Dear Shepherd of thy people, hear; Thy presence now display;

As thou hast given a place for prayer,
So give us hearts to pray.

3. Show us some token of thy love,
Our fainting hope to raise;
And pour thy blessing from above,
That we may render praise.

4. Within these walls let holy peace,
And love and concord dwell;
Here give the troubled conscience ease,
The wounded spirit heal.

[Ps. 16, P. 1.
LOVE the Lord: He heard my cries,
And pitied every groan;
Long as I live, when troubles rise,
I'll hasten to his throne.

2. I love the Lord: He bow'd his ear,
And chased my griefs away:
O! let my heart no more despair
While I have breath to pray.

3. My flesh declined, my spirits fell,
And I drew near the dead,
While inward pangs and fears of hell
Perplex'd my wakeful head.

4. "My God," I cried, "thy servant save, Thou ever good and just;

Thy power can rescue from the grave,
Thy power is all my trust."

5. The Lord beheld me sore distress'd, He bade my pains remove;

COME, happy souls, approach your

With new melodious songs; [God
Come, render to almighty grace,
The tribute of your tongues.

2. So strange, so boundless was the love That pitied dying men,

The Father sent his equal Son
To give them life again.

3. Thy hands, dear Jesus, were not arm'd With a revenging rod,

No hard commission to perform,
The vengeance of a God.

4. But all was mercy, all was mild,

And wrath forsook the throne, When Christ on the kind errand came, And brought salvation down.

5. Here, sinners, you may heal your wounds,

And wipe your sorrows dry; Trust in the mighty Saviour's name, And you shall never die.
