2 Jesus, hail! whose glory brightens
All above, and gives it worth;
Lord of life, thy smile enlightens,
Cheers, and charms thy saints on earth:
When we think of love like thine,
Lord, we own it love divine.
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Hallelujah! amen.

3 King of glory, reign forever,

Thine an everlasting crown;
Nothing from thy love shall sever
Those whom thou shalt call thine own;
Happy objects of thy grace,
Destined to behold thy face!
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Hallelujah! amen.

4 Saviour, hasten thine appearing;
Bring, O bring, the glorious day
When, the awful summons hearing,
Heaven and earth shall pass away!
Then, with golden harps, we'll sing,
"Glory, glory to our King!
Hallelujah! hallelujah!

Hallelujah! amen."

1 PRAISE to thee, O dear Redeemer,
For the riches of thy grace;
Bow, my soul, no idle dreamer,
Worship him who saves the race;
He who reigned with God on high,
He who laid his glory by:
Sing his praises, sing his praises,

Sing of him who came to die.
2 How shall mortal man adore thee,
Thou the high, Immortal One?
Sinful dust might bow before thee
While the countless ages run;

Yet 't were vain to worship thee
Unless love the motive be.
O my
Saviour! O my Saviour !
Grant this gift of love to me.
3 Vain are all the words I've spoken,
Lord, to show that love is mine;
Godly life shall be the token
Of my love for things divine.

This I covet, this bestow,-
Strength to live aright below;
Then how much thy child doth love thee,
O my Saviour, thou shalt know!

F E. Belden.

FREEMAN LEWIS.

To water the gardens of grace;

From which their salvation the Gentiles

shall know,

And bask in the smiles of his face.

He looks, and ten thousands of angels rejoice,

And myriads wait for his word; He speaks, and eternity, filled with his

voice,

Re-echoes the praise of the Lord.

a-bove;

1 POUR out thy Spirit from on high; Lord, thine assembled servants bless; Graces and gifts to each supply,

And clothe us all with righteousness. 2 Wisdom, and zeal, and faith impart, Firmness, with meekness from above, To bear thy people on our heart,

And love the souls whom thou dost love;

3 To watch and pray, and never faint,

By day and night strict guard to keep; To warn the sinner, cheer the saint, Nourish thy lambs, and feed thy sheep. 4 Then, when our work is finished here,

In humble hope our charge resign: When the chief Shepherd shall appear, O God! may they and we be thine! James Montgomery.

1 COME, blessed Spirit, source of light, Whose power and grace are unconfined, Dispel the gloomy shades of night, The thicker darkness of the mind. 2 To my enlightened eyes display

The glorious truth thy words reveal; Cause me to run the heavenly way, Make me delight to do thy will.

3 Thine inward teachings make me know, The wonders of redeeming love, The vanity of things below,

And excellence of things above. 4 While through these dubious paths I stray, Spread, like the sun, thy beams abroad; Show me the dangers of the way, And guide my feeble steps to God. Benjamin Beddome.

2 Where is that spirit, Lord, which dwelt In Abram's breast, and sealed him thine? Which made Paul's heart with sorrow melt, And glow with energy divine?

3 That spirit which from

age to age Proclaimed thy love, and taught thy ways?

Brightened Isaiah's vivid page,

And breathed in David's hallowed lays?

4 Is not thy grace as mighty now

As when Elijah felt its power? When glory beamed from Moses' brow, Or Job endured the trying hour?

5 Remember, Lord, the ancient days;
Renew thy work, thy grace restore;
And while to thee our hearts we raise,
On us thy Holy Spirit pour.

141 1 COME, Holy Spirit, heavenly guest, And make thy mansion in my breast; Dispel my doubts, my fears control, And heal the anguish of my soul. 2 Thou God of love and peace divine, O make thy light within me shine! Forgive my sins, my guilt remove, And send the tokens of thy love. 3 Come with thy healing from above, Fill each and every heart with love; O turn to flesh the flinty stone, And let thy sovereign power be known! Philip Doddridge.

1 As when in silence vernal showers Descend and cheer the fainting flowers, So, in the secrecy of love,

1 O BLESSED Comforter, draw nigh! Cheer and sustain my fainting heart; Without thee every hope would die, And every cheering ray depart.

2 Whene'er to call the Saviour mine With ardent wish my heart aspires, Can it be less than power divine

That animates these strong desires? 3 And when my cheerful hope can say I love my God and taste his grace, Lord, is it not thy blissful ray

That brings this dawn of sacred peace? 4 Let thy good Spirit in my heart Forever dwell, O God of love! And light and heavenly peace impart, Sweet earnest of the joys above.

Anne Steele.

From vanities and toys!

Then shall we with fresh courage go
To reach eternal joys.

3 Awake our souls to joyful songs;
Let pure devotions rise;

Till praise employs our thankful tongues,
And doubt forever dies.

4 Father, we would no longer live

At this poor, dying rate,
To thee our thankful love we give,
For thine to us is great.

5 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all thy quickening powers;
Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love,
And that shall kindle ours.

That we are sons of God,

Redeemed from sin, and death, and hell, Through Christ's atoning blood.

5 God, through himself, we then shall know, If thou within us shine;

And sound, with all thy saints below,
The depths of love divine.

1 SPIRIT Divine, attend our prayer, And make our hearts thy home; Descend with all thy gracious power: Come, Holy Spirit, come!

2 Come as the light, to us reveal
Our sinfulness and woe,

And lead us in those paths of life
Where all the righteous go.

3 Come as the fire, and purge our hearts, Like sacrificial flame;

Let our whole soul an offering be

To our Redeemer's name.

4 Come as the wind, with rushing sound, With Pentecostal grace;

And make the great salvation known,
Wide as the human race.

5 Spirit Divine, attend our prayer,

And make our hearts thy home; Descend with all thy gracious power: Come, Holy Spirit, come!

Andrew Reed.
