3 Our daily bread supply,
While by Thy word we live;
The guilt of our iniquity
Forgive as we forgive.

4

From dark temptation's power
Our feeble hearts defend;
Deliver in the evil hour,
And guide us to the end.

5 Thine, then, forever be
Glory and power divine;
The sceptre, throne, and majesty
Of heaven and earth are Thine.

THY KINGDOM COME.

1 FATHER and God of all mankind,
And all the hosts above,
Let every understanding mind
Unite to praise Thy love.

2 Thy kingdom come, with power and grace, To every heart of man;

Thy peace, and joy, and righteousness,
In all our bosoms reign..

3 The righteousness that never ends,
But makes an end of sin;
The joy that human thought transcends,
Now to our souls bring in:

4 The kingdom of established peace,
Which can no more remove;
The perfect powers of godliness,
The omnipotence of Love.

1 DAY by day the manna fell ;
O, to learn this lesson well!
Still by constant mercy fed,
Give us, Lord, our daily bread.
2 "Day by day," the promise reads;
Daily strength for daily needs;
Cast foreboding fears away;
Take the manna of to-day.

3 Lord, our times are in Thy hand;
All our sanguine hopes have planned
To Thy wisdom we resign,

And would mould our wills to Thine.

4 Thou our daily task shalt give;
Day by day to Thee we live;
So shall added years fulfil
Not our own, our Father's will.

6 O, to live exempt from care,
By the energy of prayer;

Strong in faith, with mind subdued,
Glowing yet with gratitude!

A PRAYER.

1 GOD of all grace, we come to Thee,
With humble, prayerful hearts;
Give what Thine eye delights to see,
Truth in the inward parts :

2 Give deep humility; the sense
Of holy sorrow give;

A strong, desiring confidence,
To hear Thy voice and live:

3 Patience, to watch, and wait, and weep,
Though mercy long delay;
Courage, our fainting souls to keep,
And trust Thee, though Thou slay.

4 Give these, and then Thy will be done!
Thus strengthened with all might,
We, in the spirit of Thy Son,

32.

Shall pray, and pray aright.

1 WHAT shall we ask of God in prayer?
Whatever good we want;
Whatever man may seek to share,
Or God in wisdom grant.

2 Father of all our mercies, — Thou
In whom we move and live!
Hear us in heaven, Thy dwelling, now,
And answer, and forgive.

3 When harassed by ten thousand foes,
Our helplessness we feel,
O, give the weary soul repose,
The wounded spirit heal!

4 When dire temptations gather round,
And threaten or allure,

By storm or calm, in Thee be found
A refuge strong and sure.

5 When age advances, may we grow
In faith, in hope, and love;
And walk in holiness below
To holiness above.

FOR DIVINE STRENGTH.

1 FATHER, in Thy mysterious presence kneeling, Fain would our souls feel all Thy kindling

love;

For we are weak, and need some deep reveal

Thou wilt sustain us till its work is done.

3 In the heart's depths a peace serene and holy Abides, and when pain seems to have her

will,

Or we despair, -O, may that peace rise

slowly,

Stronger than agony, and we be still!

4 Now, Father, now, in Thy dear presence

kneeling,

Our spirits yearn to feel Thy kindling love; Now make us strong, we need Thy deep revealing

Of Trust and Strength and Calmness from above.

SEEKING STRENGTH.

1 O GOD! who knowest how frail we are,
How soon the thought of good departs;
We pray that Thou wouldst feed the fount
Of holy yearning in our hearts.

2 Let not the choking cares of earth
The precious springs of life o'ergrow;
But, ever guarded by Thy love,
Still purer may their waters flow.

3 To Thee, with sweeter hope and trust,
Be every day our spirits given;

And may we, while we walk on earth,
Walk more as citizens of heaven.
