2 Enter with all Thy glorious train,
Thy Spirit and Thy word;
All that the ark did once contain
Could no such grace afford.
3 Here, mighty Lord, accept our vows;
Here let Thy praise be spread;
Bless the provisions of Thy house,
And fill Thy poor with bread.
1 BLESSED Master! Thou art gone,
But Thy church is not alone,
Still Thy Comforter is here,
Till Thou come our souls to cheer.
2 Blessed Master! come away,
Thus Thy brethren ceaseless pray,
Sick of love, and hope deferr'd,
We would hang upon Thy word.
3 Sweet it is while waiting here,
Tho' unseen to feel Thee near,
Sweet to hear Thy gentle voice,
Bid the sorrowing heart rejoice.
4 Sweet Thy messages of love,
Coming daily from above,
But the loving, faithful heart,
Longs to see Thee as Thou art.
1 BEFORE Thy cross, Oh dying Lord,
I cast my soul and trust Thy love;
Oh! here Thy saving power afford,
And seal my pardon from above.
2 No threat'ning foes shall drive me hence,
Helpless and fainting I draw near;
Resolv'd (for 'tis my last defence,)
If I must die, to perish here.
3 But, Saviour! for Thy mercy's sake,
Relieve the anguish of my heart;
The bruised reed Thou wilt not break,
Nor bid the contrite soul depart.
4 Wash'd in Thy blood, I shall be pure; Cheer'd by Thy smile, shall feel no shame; Sav'd by Thy love, I stand secure,
1 BRETHREN! let us join to bless
Christ, the Lord our Righteousness:
Let our praise to Him be giv'n,
High at God's right hand in heav'n.
2 Thee the angels ceaseless sing:
Thee we praise, our Priest and King:
Worthy is Thy name of praise,
Full of glory, full of grace.
3 Thou hast the glad tidings brought
Of salvation, by Thee wrought;
Wrought to set Thy people free ;-
Wrought to bring our souls to thee.
4 Oh! let us follow and adore
Thee, our Saviour, more and more;
Guide and bless us with Thy love,
Till we join Thy saints above.
1 BRETHREN, come, our Saviour calls us,
Bids us to a feast of love;
Bless the Lord, whose bounty feeds us
With provision from above.
Ye for whom His life was giv'n,
Come, and eat the bread of heaven.
2 Let us think of Him who bought us, 'Tis the Saviour's own command: When we wander'd, Jesus sought us, Now He leads us by the hand: Now He gives us hope, and says, We shall sing His endless praise.
3 O how much His people owe Him! O what love our Lord has shewn! Well may we surrender to Him
All that once we called our own: Lord, we give ourselves to Thee, Then our guide, our Master be.
1 BE with me Lord, where'er I go,
Teach me what Thou would'st have me do;
Suggest whate'er I think or say,
Direct me in the narrow way.
2 Enrich me alway with Thy love;
My kind protection ever prove;
Thy signet put upon my breast,
And let Thy Spirit on me rest.
3 Assist and teach me how to pray;
Incline my nature to obey;
What Thou abhorr'st, that let me flee,
And only love what pleases Thee.
4 O let me never do my will,
But Thine, and only Thine, fulfil :
Let all my time, and all my ways,
Be spent and ended to Thy praise.
1 BEFORE Jehovah's awful throne,
Ye nations bow with sacred joy;
Know that the Lord is God alone,
He can create, and He destroy.
2 His sov'reign power, without our aid,
Made us of clay, and form'd us men:
And when like wand'ring sheep we stray'd,
He brought us to His fold again.
3 Lord, in Thy gates with thankful songs,
Our voices high as heaven we'll raise,
And earth from her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise.
4 Wide as the world is Thy command, Vast as eternity Thy Love:
Firm as a rock Thy Truth must stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move.
1 BLOT out my sins, O Lord,
Nor me in anger view;
Within me a pure heart create,
An upright mind renew.
2 Withdraw not Thou Thy help,
Nor cast me from Thy sight;
Nor let Thy Holy Spirit take
His everlasting flight.
3 Could blood of beasts atone,
Whole flocks and herds should die;
But on such off'rings Thou disdain'st
To cast a gracious eye.
4 A broken spirit is
By God most highly priz'd;
By Him a broken, contrite heart
Shall never be despised.
