3 Lord, give me a place with the humblest of saints, I know that thou hearest my feeble complaints; 4 Give strength to the souls that now wait upon thee, From earth's vain enchantments, O! help us to flee, Lord. hor. 10 Thou in whose presence my soul takes delight, My comfort by day, and my song in the night, 2 Where dost thou at noon-tide resort with thy sheep, To feed on the pastures of love? Say, why in the valley of death should I weep, 3 O, why should I wander an alien from thee, Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see, 4 Restore, my dear Saviour, the light of thy face, And let the sweet tokens of thy saving grace, 1 In songs of sublime a `oration and praise, Ye pilgrims, for Zion who press, KENNEDY. Break forth and extol the great Ancient of Days, 2 His love from eternity fix'd upon you, Broke forth and discovered its flame, When each with the cords of his kindness he drew, And brought you to love his great name. 8 O, had not he pity'd the state you were in, Your bosoms his love had ne'er felt; You all would have lived, would have died too, in sin, And sunk with the load of your guilt. 4 Then give all the glory to his holy name, To him all the glory belongs; Be yours the high joy still to sound forth his fame, 1 Let pure clouds of incense be wafted to heaven, That wisdom and grace to our youth may be given, 2 O'er the green hills of science, O Spirit, preside, Let holiest dew on each tendril abide, 3 From the youth of our country shall armies arise, O'er the land and the sea the glad message that flies, Shall echo Immanuel's name. 37 1 Jesus, who knows full well The heart of every saint, His chosen when they cry; 4 Then let us earnest cry, And never faint in prayer; He sees, he hears, and, from on high, 1 How sweet the melting lay, Which breaks upon the ear, 2 The breezes waft their cries Before the morning light,- 4 Glory to God on high, Who sends his blessings down MADRID. 8s & 7s.

COL. 2 Praise, with love's devoutest feeling, Here's my heart; Lord, take and seal it, And, since words can never measure, Seal it from thy courts above. ROBINSON. Let my life show forth thy praise! 2 I love in solitude to shed 4 I love by faith to take a view Of brighter scenes in heaven; The prospect doth my strength renew, While here by tempests driven. 5 Thus, when life's toilsome day is o'er, May its departing ray, Be calm as this impressive hour, And lead to endless day. MRS. BROWN. 42 The Hour of Prayer. HOWE'S COL. 1 The hour of prayer once more is come, And here again we meet; Thanks to the Lord, there yet is room 2 By faith in prayer before thee, Lord, 3 The helpless, poor, and needy soul, The tempted and distressed, [whole, Dear Lord, relieve!
