1. SING to the Lord a new-made song,
Who wondrous things has done;
With his right hand, and holy arm,
The conquest he has won.

2. The Lord has through th' astonished world
Displayed his saving might;

And made his righteous acts appear
In all the heathen's sight.

3. Of Israel's house his love and truth
Have ever mindful been;

And earth's remotest tribes the power
Of Israel's God have seen.

4. Let all the people of the earth
Their cheerful voices raise;
Let all, with universal joy,
Resound their Maker's praise.

Prayer for the Success of Missions.

1. LORD, send thy word, and let it fly,
Armed with thy Spirit's power;
Ten thousand shall confess its sway,
And bless the saving hour.

2. Beneath the influence of thy grace
The barren wastes shall rise,

With sudden greens and fruits arrayed-
A blooming Paradise.

3. True holiness shall strike its root
In each regenerate heart;
Shall in a growth divine arise,

And heavenly fruits impart.

4. Peace, with her olives crowned, shall stretch
Her wings from shore to shore;

No trump shall rouse the rage of war,
Nor murderous cannon roar.

5. Lord, for those days we wait those days
Are in thy word foretold;

Fly swifter, sun and stars, and bring
This promised age of gold.

Gibbons.

Heavenly Joy on Earth.

1. COME, we that love the Lord,
And let our joys be known;
Join in a song with sweet accord,
And thus surround the throne.

2. Let those refuse to sing,
Who never knew our God;
But children of the heavenly King
May speak their joys abroad.
3. The hill of Zion yields

A thousand sacred sweets,

Before we reach the heavenly fields,

Or walk the golden streets.

4. Then let our songs abound,

And every tear be dry;

We're marching through Immanuel's ground,

To fairer worlds on high.

Watts.

S. M.

Salvation by Grace, from the first to the last.
1. GRACE! 'tis a charming sound;
Harmonious to the ear!

Heaven with the echo shall resound
And all the earth shall hear.

2. Grace first contrived the way
To save rebellious man;
And all the steps that grace display,
Which drew the wondrous plan.

3. Grace led my roving feet

To tread the heavenly road;
And new supplies each hour I meet,
While pressing on to God.

4. Grace all the work shall crown,
Through everlasting days;

It lays in heaven the topmost stone,
And well deserves the praise.

Doddridge.

S. M.

Source and Office of Faith.

1. FAITH! 'tis a precious grace,
Where'er it is bestowed;

It boasts a high, celestial birth,
And is the gift of God.

2. Jesus it owns as King,
And all-atoning Priest;
It claims no merit of its own,
But looks for all in Christ.

3. To him it leads the soul,

When filled with deep distress;
Flies to the fountain of his blood,
And trusts his righteousness.

4. Since 'tis thy work alone,
And that divinely free;

Lord, send the Spirit of thy Son,
To work this faith in me.

Beddome.
