5 Warn me of every sin, Forgive my secret faults, And cleanse this guilty soul of mine, Morning or Evening. 11. For a due improvement of the Sabbath. L. M. 1 THIS is the day the Lord hath bless'd, The day to us in mercy given; The holy Sabbath of His rest, The pledge and type of rest in heaven. 2 This day within thy courts, O Lord, 3 May we the blest assembly join, 4 May we by every Sabbath grow 12. The rest of the Sabbath. L. M. 1 LORD of the Sabbath! hear us pray, In this thy house, on this thy day: Accept, as grateful sacrifice, The songs which from thy temple rise. 2 Now met to pray, and bless thy name, Whose mercies flow each day the same, Whose kind compassions never cease ; We seek instruction-pardon-peace. 3 Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord! we love; But there's a nobler rest above; O that we might that rest attain 4 O long expected day, begin! Dawn on this world of woe and sin; 13. God's blessing on Public Worship. C. M. 1 ONCE more we come before our God, 2 Father, thy quickening Spirit send 3 May we receive the word we hear, Lay up the precious treasure there, 4 To seek Thee all our hearts dispose, And let the seed thy servant sows 5 Revive the parch'd with heavenly showers, The cold with warmth divine; And as the benefit is ours, Be all the glory thine! 14. Hymn of Praise. (4.7.) 1 GRATEFUL notes and numbers bring, While Jehovah's praise we sing; Holy, holy, holy Lord, Be thy gracious name ador'd! 2 Though unworthy, Lord, thine ear, 3 Lead us to that blissful state, B 4 While on earth ordain'd to stay, 15. For God's blessing in the sanctuary. (4. 6 & 2.8.) 1 2 IN loud exalted strains The King of glory praise, O'er heaven and earth He reigns, But Zion with His presence blest O King of Glory! come, Beneath this roof vouchsafe to show, 3 Now let thine ear attend Our supplicating cries: Now let our praise ascend, Accepted to the skies: Now let thy Gospel's joyful sound 4 Here may the listening throng Till all, who humbly seek thy face, 16. For God's blessing in the sanctuary. Ps. 132. L. M. 1 GOD in His temple let us meet, 2 Arise into thy resting-place, Thou and thine ark of strength, O Lord! 3 With righteousness thy priests array: Let those who teach, and hear, and pray, 17. For God's blessing on the means of grace. (6. 8.) 1 VOUCHSAFE thy gracious presence, Lord! Dispose us now to hear thy word; In meekness grant us to receive, And with the heart its truths believe: Thus, Lord, thy waiting servants bless, And crown thy Gospel with success. |
