back to God, And guides them safely by his word To end less day. 2. Hail, Jesus! all victorious Lord! 3. Fight on, ye conquering souls, fight on, 4. There we shall in full chorus join, Mercy and justice here combine, 3. Ye saints in glory, strike the lyre; 951. L. M. 1. FROM day to day, before our eyes, Shouted the sons of God for joy; 4. Till the redeemed in every clime, Yea, all that breathe, and move, and live, MONTGOMERY. PLYMOUTH. L. M.* 1. A-rise! arise! with joy survey The glory of the lat-ter day, Al-ready is the 9:22 224 dawn be-gun, That marks at hand the rising sun, That marks at hand the rising sun. From a Latin Air of the ninth century in Chants Chrétiens. 952. L. M. 2. The friends of truth assembled stand, 3. Behold the way to Zion's hill, 5. Auspicious dawn! thy rising ray, 953. L. M.

Go-bid the bright and morning-star, From Bethlehem's plains resplendent shine, MENDON. L. M. 1. Ex-ert Thy power, Thy rights maintain, Al-might-y, ev 9:3 9: The influence of thy crown increase, And strangers to thy foot-stool bring. DUNSTAN. L. M. 2 4 Arranged from MADAN. 1. "Let there be light :"--thus spake the Word; The Word was God; "and there was light:" 9:3 1 2 -Still the creative Voice is heard: A day is born from every night. 959. L. M. 1. "LET there be light," thus spake the Word, The Word was God, "and there was light:" Still the creative Voice is heard: A day is born from every night. 2. And every night shall turn to day, While months, and years, and ages roll; But we have run a brighter ray, Down on the chaos of the soul. 3. Nor we alone; its wakening smiles Have broke the gloom of pagan sleep; The Word hath reached the utmost isles,God's Spirit moves upon the deep. 4. Already, from the dust of death, Man in his Maker's image stands, And stretches forth to heaven his hands. 960. L. M. Double. 1. DEPART awhile, each thought of care, Fond theme of David's harp and song, And hark! again the chorus swells, The song is wafted on the breeze, And to the listening earth it tells, In accents soft and sweet as these,Glory to Thee, to Thee, O Lord! 3. My heart doth feel that still He's near, To meet the soul in hours like this; Else, why, O why, that falling tear, When all is peace, and love, and bliss? But hark! that Bethlehem chorus swells Anew its thrilling vesper strain; And still of joy and hope it tells, And bids creation sing again,Glory to Thee, to Thee, O Lord! 961. L. M. LYRA CATH 1. GREAT God, whose universal sway ANTIGUA. L. M. 2 1.

"I'll make your great commission known, 3. "Teach all the nations My commands; 4. He spake, and light shone round His head, 1. O WHAT stupendous mercy shines On a bright cloud to heaven He rode; They to the farthest nations spread The grace of their ascended God. 963. L. M. WATTS. 1. GREAT Ruler of the earth and skies, 2. When angry nations rush to arms, And rage, and noise, and tumult reign; And war resounds its dire alarms, And slaughter spreads the hostile plain; 3. Thy Sovereign eye looks calmly down, And marks their course, and bounds their power; Thy word the angry nations own, And noise and war are heard no more. Around the majesty of Heaven! 2. Go, imitate the grace divine The grace that blazes likes a sun; Hold forth your fair, though feeble light, Through all your lives let mercy run. 3. Upon your bounty's willing wings And be her counsellor and stay; 5. When all is done, renounce your deeds, Renounce self-righteousness with scorn: Thus will you glorify your God, And thus the Christian name adorn. RIPPON. |
