day our rising Lord Hath made and call'd his own,Hath made and call'd his own.

2 This is the day which God hath blest, When our Redeemer shall come down,

The brightest of the seven,

Type of that everlasting rest

The saints enjoy in heaven.

3 Then let us in his name sing on, And hasten to that day

84 CHRISTMAS C. M.

And shadows pass away.

4 Not one, but all our days below, Let us in hymns employ ;

And, in our Lord rejoicing, go

To his eternal joy.

Charles Wesley

2 Thy chosen temple, Lord, how fair! As here thy servants throng

To breathe the humble, fervent prayer, And pour the grateful song.

3 Spirit of grace! O deign to dwell

Within thy church below; Make her in holiness excel,

With pure devotion glow.

2 Another day; we fold our palms Of evanescent sense and sound
With tenderest breath of grateful psalms, A Sabbath-land of rest profound.
Because our Sabbaths God has given,
Another stepping-stone to heaven.
3 Another day; we pause and think
Of that sweet land beyond the brink

4 A Sabbath-land where love shall find
Fulfillment of God's promise kind-
A glad surcease of pain and tears,
Throughout eternity's wide years.

87 MUNICH 7.6.7.6. D. •

J. G. C. Störl. Harmonized by Mendelssohn

I. O word of God In car - nate, O wisdom from on high,

O truth un-changed,un changing, O light of our dark sky;

It is the chart and compass
That o'er life's surging sea,
'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands,
Still guides, O Christ, to thee.

4 O make thy church, dear Saviour,
A lamp of purest gold,
To bear before the nations
Thy true light, as of old.
O teach thy wandering pilgrims
By this their path to trace,
Till, clouds and darkness ended,
They see thee face to face.

My every step shall then be well defined,
And all I do according to thy mind.
