Hymn.

According to Thy gracious word,

139

Acquaint thee, O spirit, acquaint thee with God,

Almighty Father! Thou hast many a blessing,
Almighty God! in humble prayer,

Almighty Spirit, now behold,

Am I a soldier of the cross,

An offering at the shrine of power,

Another day its course has run,

Another hand is beckoning us,

Approach not the altar with gloom in thy soul,
As down in the sunless retreats of the ocean,

As every day Thy mercy spares,

As oft, with worn and weary feet,

As the hart, with cager looks,
As the sun's enlivening eye,
Author of good, we rest on Thee,
A voice from the desert,

A voice upon the midnight air,
Awake, my soul! lift up thine eyes,
Awake, my soul! stretch every nerve,

Behold the sun, how bright,

Be near us, O Father, through night's silent hour,

Beneath the shadow of the cross,

Beneath the thick but struggling clouds,

Beneath Thy trees to-day we meet,
Be still! be still! for all around, .
Be still, my heart! these anxious cares,
Be Thou, O God, by night, by day,
Birds have their quiet rest,
Bless, O Lord, each opening year,
Blessed be Thy name forever,
Blessed, blessed are the dead,

Blest are the pure in heart,

Bread of heaven, on thee we feed,

Breast the wave, Christian, when it is strongest,

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
Brother, bast thou wandered far,

Brother, the angels say,

Brother, thou art gone before us,

Brother, though from yonder sky,

Brother, will you slight the message,
Burden of shame and woe,

By cool Siloam's shady rill,

By earth hemmed in, by earth oppressed,

161

Come unto me, when shadows darkly gather,
"Come who will," the voice from heaven,
Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish,
Come, ye who love the Lord,

Commit thou all thy griefs,

Creator of all, through whose all-seeing might,
Cross, reproach and tribulation,

Darkness o'er the world was brooding,

104

Dark were the paths our Master trod, .
Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness,
Daughter of Zion! from the dust,

Day by day the manna fell,

Dear as Thou wast, and justly dear,

Deem not that they are blest alone,

Down the dark future, through long generations,

Earth's busy sounds, and ceaseless din,
Ere to the world again we go,

Fading, still fading, the last beam is shining,
Faint the earth, and parched with drought,
Faint not, poor traveller, though the way,
Fare thee well, our fondly cherished,
Far from mortal cares retreating,
Far from the world, O Lord, I flee,
Father, adored in worlds above,

Father, in Thy presence now,

Father! I wait Thy word. The sun doth stand,

Father, I will not pray,

Father of light, conduct our feet,

Father of mercies! God of peace,

Father of might, my bonds I feel,

Father of spirits, humbly bent before Thee,
Father, source of every blessing,
Father, supply my every need,

Father supreme! Thou high and holy One,
Father, there is no change to live with Thee,
Father, this slumber shake,

Father! Thy paternal care,

Father! Thy wonders do not singly stand,
Father, to Thy kind love we owe,

Father! to us Thy children, humbly kneeling,

Father, united by Thy grace,

Father! we bless the gentle care,

Father! we look up to Thee,

Father, whate'er of earthly bliss,

Father, when o'er our trembling hearts,
Father, who art on high,

Father, who in the olive shade,
