HYMN

From the General Thanksgiving.

FATHER of mercies, let our songs
With Thee acceptance find;
Thy loving kindness, we confess,
To us and all mankind.

Thanks for creation are Thy due,
For life preserv'd by Thee,
And all the blessings life affords,
So great and yet so free.

Thanks for redemption, above all,

To us in Jesus given,

Thanks for the means of grace on earth, And for the hope of heav'n.

Lord, may we give ourselves to Thee,

And walking in Thy ways,

In righteousness and holiness

Obey Thee all our days.

HYMN

The Magdalene Ode.

GRATEFUL notes and numbers bring
While Jehovah's praise we sing,

Holy, holy, holy Lord,

Be thy name by all ador'd,

Hallelujah, Amen,

Though unworthy, Lord, Thine ear,
These, our hallelujahs, hear;

Purer praise we hope to bring,

When with saints we stand and sing,

Hallelujah, Amen.

While on earth ordain'd to stay,
Guide our footsteps in the way,
Till we reach that blissful state

Where Thou reign'st supremely great.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.

FOR A FRIENDLY SOCIETY.

OUR souls shall magnify the Lord;
In Him our spirits shall rejoice;-
Assembled here with one accord,

Our hearts shall praise Him with our voice.

God of our hope! to Thee we bow,
Thou art our refuge in distress:-
The comfort of the widow, Thou;
And Father of the fatherless.

May we the law of love fulfil;
Lighten each other's burdens here,
Suffer and do Thy righteous will
And walk in all thy faith and fear.

Then grant, our union here begun,
May last for ever firm and free;-
Around Thy throne may we be one

One with each other and with Thee.

PSALM V.

LORD hear the voice of my complaint,
Accept my secret pray'r;

To Thee alone, my King, my God,
Will I for help repair.

Thou in the morn my voice shall hear;

And with the dawning day

To Thee devoutly I'll look up,

To Thee devoutly pray.

And when thy boundless grace shall me

To Thy lov'd courts restore,

On Thee I'll fix my longing eyes,
And humbly there adore.

PSALM XXIV.

PART 2.

ERECT your heads, eternal gates, Unfold to entertain

The King of Glory;-see! He comes With His celestial train.

Who is the King of Glory? who?
The Lord for strength renown'd;
In battle mighty o'er his foes,
Eternal Victor crown'd.

Erect your heads, ye gates unfold,
In state to entertain

The King of Glory?-see! He comes
With all his shining train.

Who is the King of Glory? who?
The Lord of Hosts renown'd;

Of glory he alone is King,
Who is with glory crown'd,
