And urge us on, and keep us thine; Nor leave the hearts which thou hast Fit temples of thy grace divine. [made 3 Nor let us quench thy saving light;

But still with softest breathings stir Our wayward souls, and lead us right, O Holy Spirit, Comforter!

STENNETT.

Sabbath Morning.

1 ANOTHER six days' work is done,
Another Sabbath is begun:
Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest,
Improve the day which God hath blest.
20 that our tho'ts and thanks may rise,
As grateful incense, to the skies, [pose,
And draw from heaven that sweet re-
Which none but he that feels it knows!
3 This heavenly calm within the breast
Is the dear pledge of glorious rest,
Which for the church of God remains,
The end of cares, the end of pains.

4 In holy duties let the day

In holy pleasures-pass away:
How sweet, a Sabbath thus to spend,
In hope of one that ne'er shall end!

13

Creator Spirit.

1 OH, come, Creator Spirit blest,
Within these souls of thine to rest;
Come, with thy grace and heavenly aid,
To fill the hearts which thou hast made.

3

Come, Holy Spirit! now descend; Most blessed gift which God can send ; Thou Fire of Love, and Fount of Life! Consume our sins, and calm our strife. With patience firm and purpose high, The weakness of our flesh supply; Kindle our senses from above, And make our hearts o'erflow with love. 14

WATTS.

Pleasure of God's Service.

1 SWEET is the work, my God, my King, To praise thy name, give thanks, and To show thy love by morning light, [sing; And talk of all thy truth at night.

2

Sweet is the day of sacred rest;
No mortal care shall seize my breast;
Oh, may my heart in tune be found,
Like David's harp of solemn sound!

3

My heart shall triumph in my Lord, And bless his works, and bless his word, Thy works of grace, how bright they shine! How deep thy counsels! how divine' 4 Lord, I shall share a glorious pa When grace hath well refined my heart, And fresh supplies of joy are shed, Like holy oil to cheer my head.
