4 Then we and they when time shall end, 408 Jesus Christ an Example. P. M. JESUS when a little child Taught us what we ought to be; Holy, harmless, undefiled, Was the Saviour's infancy: 2 As in age and strength he grew, There proclaimed his Father's praise: Thus it was his lot to gain Favour both with God and man. 4 Father, guide our steps aright Then to us shall soon be given 409 Samuel in God's Temple. L.M. YOUNG Samuel, in his infant days, 2 To him while in his childish years, The Lord his God himself made known, And told in little Samuel's ears, The things that shortly should be done 8 That Samuel (highly favoured child) Would be a prophet, Israel knew, Fer all his sayings were fulfilled, And every word he spake was true. 4 Then let us be, like Samuel, still Ready to listen to the Lord; For God can yet himself reveal To children in his holy word. 410 Remember now thy Creator. I REMEMBER thy Creator now, In these thy youthful days; Seek him while he is near; 3 Remember thy Creator now, C. M Then, when thy head in death shall bow 4 Almighty God! our hearts incline 411 Christian Communion. CHILDREN! our Father calls, And Christ invites us near; S. M With both, our friendship shall be sweet, And our communion dear. 2 God pities all our griefs; 3 How large his bounties are! 4 Jesus, our living head, 5 Here fix, our roving hearts!

SABBATH-SCHOOL MONTHLY CONCERT. 413 Praise to God. L. M. ETERNAL power, whose high abode In vain the loftiest angel tries To reach thy height with wondering eyes. 2 Earth from afar has heard thy fame, And mortals learned to lisp thy name; But O the glories of thy mind Leave all our soaring thoughts behind. 3 God is in heaven, but man below; 1 414 Songs of Triumph. C. M. SING we the song of those who stand Around the eternal inrone; Of every kindred, clime and land, 2 Toil, trial, suffering still await, Those that compose our throng; Yet learn we in our low estate The church triumphant's song. 3 Worthy the Lamb, who once was slain, 4 Worthy the Lamb, on earth we sing, 1 Henceforth, O Death, where is thy sting?
