"The Lord's house all nations shall flow unto it."-Isa. ii. 2.

MILLIONS Within Thy courts have met, Millions this day before Thee bowed; Their faces Zionward were set,

Their holy vows to Thee they vowed.
2

Soon as the light of morning broke
O'er island, continent, or deep,
Thy far-spread family awoke,

Sabbath all round the world to keep.
3

And not a prayer, a tear, a sigh,

Hath failed this day some suit to gain; To those in trouble Thou wert nigh, Not one hath sought Thy face in vain. 4

Thy poor were bountifully fed,

Thy chastened sons have kissed the rod,

Thy mourners have been comforted, The pure in heart have seen their God.

5

Yet one prayer more;-and be it one In which both heaven and earth accord:

Fulfil Thy promise to Thy Son,

Let all that breathe call Jesus Lord!

Now the light that all things gladdens
And the pomp of day is gone,
And my heart is tired, and saddens

As the gloomy night comes on;
Ah! then, with Thy changeless light,
Warm and cheer my heart to-night,
As the shadows round me gather,
Keep me close to Thee, my Father.
3

Of Thy grace I pray Thee pardon

All my sins, and heal their smart; Sore and heavy is their burden,

Sharp their sting within my heart; And my foe lays many a snare, But to tempt me to despair.

Only Thou, dear Lord, canst save me, Let him not prevail to have me.

"The unity of the faith."-Eph. iv. 13.
LORD, cause Thy face on us to shine;
Give us Thy peace, and seal us Thine;
Teach us to prize Thy means of grace,
To love Thine earthly dwelling-place,
And all Thy glorious power to see
Within Thine hallowed sanctuary.
2

O King of Salem: Prince of peace,
Bid strife among Thy subjects cease;
One is our faith and one our Lord,
One body, spirit, hope, reward;
O let us one communion be,
One with each other, one in Thee.

3

Bless all whose voice salvation brings,
Who minister in holy things:
Let many in the judgment day,
Turned from the error of their way,
Their hope, their joy, their crown

appear;

Bless those who teach, and those who hear.
