3 In the dear face of Christ, our God,
His righteousness and pardoning blood,
May we behold our All in All,
And at his foot of mercy fall.

4 There thy perfections shine most bright;
May we behold them with delight,
And see how justice, truth, and grace
Unite, and smile in Jesus' face.

5 Great Sun of Righteousness, arise,
Open our long benighted eyes;
Shine, Jesus, shine from day to day,
Till all that's dark be done away.

"Within the Veil."

1 To thy temple I repair,

LORD, I love to worship there,
When within the veil I meet
CHRIST before the mercy-seat.

2 While thy glorious praise is sung,
Touch my lips, unloose my tongue,
That my joyful soul may bless
Thee, the LORD my Righteousness.

3 While the prayers of saints ascend,
GOD of love, to mine attend;
Hear me, for thy Spirit pleads,
Hear, for JESUS intercedes.

7s.

4 While I hearken to thy law,
Fill my soul with humble awe,
Till thy Gospel bring to me
Life and immortality.

5 From thine house, when I return,
May my heart within me burn,
And at evening let me say,

14

"I have walked with God to-day."

"Surely the Lord is in this Place."

10 FOR a heart to feel,

The presence where we stand,
Remembering, as we kneel,

That God is nigh at hand,
And while we meet to seek him thus,
Waits to be gracious, e'en to us.

2 He knows, he knows of me'

If I am friend or foe;

Wherever I may be

He follows as I go,

Sees every thought, and word, and look,
And writes it in his judgment book.

3 Well may I think with dread,
Of that tremendous day,
And hang my guilty head,

And now in earnest pray;

In this accepted time I'll cry,

Have mercy, Lord, or else I die.

H. M.

4 But Christ the Saviour died Our pardons to obtain; None e'er to him applied,

Or shall apply, in vain;

For what he did, for what he bore,
We bless thee, Lord, for evermore.

15

Pleading the Promise.

S. M.

1 JESUS, we look to thee,

Thy promised presence claim;

Thou in the midst of us wilt be,

Assembled in thy name.

2 Thy name salvation is,

Which here we come to prove;
Thy name is life, and health, and peace,
And everlasting love.

3 We meet, the grace to take

Which thou hast freely given;
We meet on earth for thy dear sake,
That we may meet in heaven.

4 0, may thy quickening voice
The death of sin remove,

And bid our inmost souls rejoice
In hope of perfect love.

1 BEHOLD us, Lord, with humble fear
Approach thy temple gate;

Though most unworthy to draw near,
Or in thy courts to wait.

2 But, trusting in thy boundless grace,
To all so freely given,
We worship in thy holy place,

And lift our souls to heaven.

3 Lead us in all thy righteous ways,
Nor let our footsteps slide:
Make straight thy path before our face,
Our guardian, still, and guide.

4 No more to sin, Lord, let us yield,
Defended from above,

And kept, and covered with the shield
Of thine almighty love.

Christian Fellowship in Worship.

1 GREAT the joy when Christians meet;
Christian fellowship how sweet!

When, their theme of praise the same,
They exalt Jehovah's name.

2 Sing we then eternal love
Such as did the Father move,

C. M.

7s.

When he saw our race undone,

Loved the world and gave his Son.
3 Sing the Son's unbounded love,
How he left the realms above;
Took our nature and our place;
Lived and died to save our race.
4 Sing we too the Spirit's love;
With our stubborn hearts he strove,
Chased the mists of sin away,
Turned our night to glorious day.

5 Great the joy, the union sweet,
When the saints in glory meet;
Where the theme is still the same,
Still Jehovah's glorious name.

18

"Bless the Lord."

S. M.

1 STAND up, and bless the Lord,

Ye people of his choice:

Stand up, and bless the Lord your God

With heart, and soul, and voice.

2 Though high above all praise,
Above all blessing high,

Who would not fear his holy name,
And laud and magnify?

30 for the living fire,

From his own altar brought,
