2. Now may the King descend While saints address Thy face: 3. Descend, celestial Dove, 71. With all Thy quickening powers; And bless the sacred hours: Then shall my soul new life obtain, H. M. 1. ONE sole baptismal sign, One Lord, below, above Zion, one faith is thine, Only one watchword-Love. From different temples though it rise, 2. Our sacrifice is one; One Priest before the throne The slain, the risen Son, Redeemer, Lord alone! HAYWARD. And sighs from contrite hearts that spring, 3. Head of Thy church beneath! On all her members breathe, Then shall Thy perfect will be done, G. ROBINSON. 72. 7s & 6s. 1. THE rosy light is dawning 2. Lift up thy voice to heaven The light of life to share. 3. The landscape, lately shrouded 4. So let our souls, benighted 5. O see those waters streaming While earth, with verdure teeming, eye. 6. Let rivers of salvation Till Their healing virtues know. T. HASTINGS. 73. 11s & 8s. 1. Be joyful in God, all ye lands of the earth! 2. Jehovah is God, and Jehovah alone, And we are His people-His scepter we own; 3. Oh! enter His gates with thanksgiving and song, Your vows in His temple proclaim; His praise in melodious accordance prolong, 4. For good is the Lord, inexpressibly good, 74. 75. C. M. MONTGOMERY. 1. WHAT glory gilds the sacred page, It gives a light to every age; 2. The hand that gave it still supplies 3. Let everlasting thanks be Thine As makes a world of darkness shine 4. My soul rejoices to pursue Till glory breaks upon my view, C. M. 1. How precious is the book divine, BARTON. Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine, 2. O'er all the strait and narrow way 3. It sweetly cheers our fainting hearts Life, light, and comfort it imparts, 4. This lamp through all the dreary night Of life shall guide our way, 76. Till we behold the clearer light C. M. RIPPON'S COLL. 1. LAMP of our feet! whereby we trace Stream from the Fount of heavenly grace! 2. Bread of our souls! whereon we feed; Our guide, our chart! wherein we read 3. Pillar of fire, through watches dark! When waves would whelm our tossing bark, 4. Childhood's preceptor! manhood's trust! Our hope, when we go down to dust, Of immortality! BARTON. 1. LADEN with guilt, and full of fears, And not a ray of hope appears, 2. The volume of my Father's grace 3. This is the field where hidden lies 78. 4. This is the judge that ends the strife L. M. WATTS. 1. THE heavens declare Thy glory, Lord! In every star Thy wisdom shines; But when our eyes behold Thy word, We read Thy name in fairer lines; 2. The rolling sun, the changing light, And night and day Thy power confess; But the blest volume Thou hast writ Reveals Thy justice and Thy grace. 3. Sun, moon, and stars convey Thy praise Round the whole earth, and never stand; So when Thy truth began its race, It touched and glanced on every land. 4. Nor shall Thy spreading Gospel rest Till through the world Thy truth has run; 5. Great Sun of Righteousness, arise; 6. Thy noblest wonders here we view 1. UPON the Gospel's sacred page But makes its brightness more divine. WATTS. |
