And may we, in thy faith and fear,
Reduce to practice what we hear :

CHORUS.

Thus, Lord, thy waiting servants bless, And crown thy gospel with success. 4 Father, in us thy Son reveal; Teach us to know and do thy will; Thy saving power and love display; And guide us to the realms of day:

TOPLADY'S COLLEC.

Prayer for Minister and People.

! DEAREST Saviour, help thy servant
To proclaim thy wondrous love!
Pour thy grace upon this people,
That thy truth they may approve :
Bless, O bless them,

From thy shining courts above.

2 Now thy gracious word invites them
To attend the gospel feast:

Let thy Spirit sweetly draw them;
Every soul be Jesus' guest!

O receive us,

Let us find thy promis❜d rest.

Our God for ever and ever. Psalm xlviii. 14.

HIS God is the God we adore,

THIS

Our faithful unchangeable friend;
Whose love is as large as his power,
And neither knows measure nor end,

2 'Tis Jesus the first and the last,
Whose spirit shall guide us safe home;
We'll praise him for all that is past,

And trust him for all that's to come.

LXVIII. 6, 4. Bermondsey tune. RIP. SEL. Worthy the Lamb.

[ocr errors]

LORY to God on high!
Let earth and skies reply:
Praise ye his name:

His love and grace adore,
Who all our sorrows bore;
Sing aloud evermore,
Worthy the Lamb.

2 Jesus, our Lord and God,
Bore sin's tremendous load,
Praise ye his name:

Tell what his arm hath done,
What spoils from death he won ;
Sing his great name alone;
Worthy the Lamb.

3 While they around the throne
Cheerfully join in one,
Praising his name:

Those who have felt his blood
Sealing their peace with God,
Sound his dear fame abroad,
Worthy the Lamb.

4 Join, all ye ransom'd race,
Our holy Lord to bless;

Praise ye his name :

In him we will rejoice,
And make a joyful noise,

Shouting with heart and voice,
Worthy the Lamb.

5 What though we change our place,
Yet we shall never cease
Praising his name:

To him our songs we bring,
Hail him our gracious King,
And without ceasing sing,
Worthy the Lamb.

6 Then let the hosts above,
In realms of endless love,
Praise his dear name :

To him ascribed be

Honour and majesty,

Through all eternity;

Worthy the Lamb.

At Dismission.

ORD, dismiss us with thy blessing,
Fill our hearts with joy and peace ;-

Let us each thy love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace;

O refresh us!

Travelling through this wilderness.

2 Thanks we give, and adoration, For thy gospel's joyful sound, May the fruits of thy salvation

In our hearts and lives abound: May thy presence

With us evermore be found!

So, whene'er the signal's given,

Us from earth to call

away

Borne on angels' wings to heaven,
Glad to leave our cumbrous clay,

May we ready,

Rise and reign in endless day!

LXX. 8,7. Carlisle tune. RIP. SELEC.

Glorious Things spoken of Zion, the City of God. Isaiah xxxiii. 20, 21.

GLORIOUS

LORIOUS things of thee are spoken,
Zion-city of our God!

He, whose word cannot be broken,
Form'd thee for his own abode :
On the rock of ages founded,
What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded
Thou may'st smile at all thy foes.
2 [See! the streams of living waters
Springing from eternal love,

Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove:
Who can faint while such a river
Ever flows their thirst t' assuage?
Grace, which like the Lord, the giver,
Never fails from age to age.

3 Round each habitation hovering,
See the cloud and fire appear!
For a glory and a covering,
Showing that the Lord is near:
Thus deriving from their banner
Light by night and shade by day;
Safe they feed upon the manna
Which he gives them when they pray.]

Blest inhabitants of Zion,

Wash'd in the Redeemer's blood!

Jesus whom their souls rely on,
Makes them kings and priests to God,
"Tis his love his people raises
Over self to reign as kings,

And as priests, his solemn praises
Each for a thank-offering brings.

5 Saviour, if of Zion's city

I through grace a member amn;
Let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in thy name:
Fading is the worldling's pleasure,
All his boasted pomp and show!
Solid joys and lasting treasure,
None but Zion's children know.

LXXI. 8, 7, 4. Altered by RYLAND jur.
Prayer for a Revival.

1 SAVIOUR, visit thy plantation,

Grant us, Lord, a gracious rain;

All will come to desolation,

Unless thou return again :

Lord, revive us,

All our help must come from thee.

2 Keep no longer at a distance;
Shine upon us from on high:
Lest, for want of thine assistance,
Every plant should droop and die:
Lord, revive us, &c.

3 Surely once thy garden flourish’d
Every part look'd gay and green;
Then thy word our spirits nourish'd,
Happy seasons we have seen!
Lord, revive us, &c.
