Universal Praise. JOHN BOWDLER. | 2 Within the temple of thy grace,

1 SING to the Lord with cheerful voice;
From realm to realm the notes shall
sound,

And heaven's exulting sons rejoice
To bear the full hosanna round.

2. When, starting from the shades of night,
At dread Jehovah's high behest,
The sun arrayed his limbs in light,
And earth her virgin beauty drest, -

3 Thy praise transported nature sung,
In pealing chorus, loud and far;
The echoing vault with rapture rung,
And shouted every morning star.

We bow before our Father's face;
Thy grace and glory we adore,
And learn the wonders of thy power.

3 Here, when our spirit faints and dies,
And conscience smarts with inward stings,
The Sun of Righteousness shall rise,
With healing beams beneath his wings.

4 Father, our souls would still abide
Within thy temple, near thy side;
But, if our feet must hence depart,
Still keep thy dwelling in our heart.

4 Thy praise shall fill each grateful voice, 62.
Shall bid the song of rapture sound;
And heaven's exulting sons rejoice
To bear the full hosanna round.

61. The Peace and Comfort of Worship. WATTS.

1 AWAY from every mortal care,

From this world's worthless joys afar,
Away from earth, our souls retreat.
And wait and worship near thy feet.

Daily Bread.

MORAVIAN

1 THY name be hallowed evermore;
O God! thy kingdom come with power,
Thy will be done, and day by day
Give us our daily bread, we pray.

2 Lord, evermore to us be given

The living bread that came from heaven:
Water of life on us bestow;
Thou art the Source, the Giver thou.

Morning Hymn.

EPISCOPAL COL. 2 Should it be with clouds o'ercast,

1 Now the shades of night are gone;
Now the morning light is come,
Lord, may we be thine to-day!
Drive the shades of sin away.

2 Fill our souls with heavenly light,
Banish doubt, and clear our sight;
In thy service, Lord, to-day,
May we stand and watch and pray.

8 Keep our haughty passions bound;
Save us from our foes around;
Going out and coming in,
Keep us safe from every sin.

4 When our work of life is past,
Oh receive us then at last;
Night and sin will be no more,
When we reach the heavenly shore.

Enlighten our beclouded eyes,

And teach our grovelling souls to rise!

10 THOU that hearest prayer!

Attend our humble cry,
And let thy servants share
Thy blessing from on high.
We plead the promise of thy word:
Grant us thy Holy Spirit, Lord.

2 If earthly parents hear

Their children when they cry; If they, with love sincere, Their varied wants supply,Much more wilt thou thy love display, And answer when thy children pray.

3 Our heavenly Father thou;

We, children of thy grace:
Ob let thy Spirit now
Descend and fill the place!
So shall we feel the heavenly flame,
And all unite to praise thy name.

Oh may that sacred fire,
Descending from above,
Our languid hearts inspire

With fervent zeal and love;
