Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise,

The heaven of heavens cannot contain,
Through all the various shifting scene,
The Lord is my Shepherd, no want,
The God who reigns alone,
Thou art the Way, to Thee alone,

Touch not the cup, it is death to thy soul,

The bondmen are free in the Isles of the main,

Who is thy neighbor? he whom thou,
Wherefore should man, frail child of clay,
Why should I pause, when at my door,

HYMN.

Whene'er to call the Savior mine,

127

When all thy mercies, O my God,

137

With all my powers of heart and tongue,
When shall the voice of singing,

151

168

When brutish men against you rise,

220

Whence come your wars, frail worms of dust,

234

While thousands move with aching head,
What might be done, if men were wise,

What though the crowds who shout the word,
What though the martyr die in flame,

Waking every morn to duty,

279

Why do we mourn departing friends,

256

Why weep for those, frail child of woe,

289

We know thou hast gone to the home of thy rest,

HYMNS AND SONGS.

DEVOTIONAL.

1.

L. M.

1 BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne,
Ye nations bow with sacred joy ;
Know that the Lord is God alone;
He can create and he destroy.

2 We are his people, we his care,
Our souls and all our mortal frame :
What lasting honors shall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to thy name?

WATTS.

3 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs;
High as the heavens our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.

4 Wide as the world is thy command,
Vast as eternity thy love;

Firm as a rock thy truth shall stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move.

SALISBURY COL.

1 Lo, God is here! let us adore,
And humbly bow before his face :
Let all within us feel his power,
Let all within us seek his grace.

2 Lo, God is here! Him day and night
United choirs of angels sing:

To him, enthroned above all height,
Heaven's host their noblest homage bring.

3 Being of beings! may our praise
Thy courts with grateful fragrance fill;
Still may we stand before thy face,
Still hear and do thy sovereign will.

DRENNAN.

1 THE heaven of heavens cannot contain
The universal Lord;

Yet he in humble hearts will deign
To dwell and be adored..

2 Where'er ascends the sacrifice
Of fervent praise and prayer,
Or on the earth, or in the skies,
The God of heaven is there.

3 His presence is diffused abroad,

Through realms, through worlds unknown; Who seek the mercies of our God

Are ever near his throne.
