224 "Blessed are they that dwell in Thy courts; they will be still praising Thee.”

Happy souls! Their praises flow Even in this vale of woe; cres Waters in the desert rise,

Imf PLEASANT are Thy courts above, 3
In the land of light and love;
Pleasant are Thy courts below,
In this land of sin and woe.
cres Oh, my spirit longs and faints
For the converse of Thy saints,
For the brightness of Thy face,
King of Glory, God of grace!
amf Happy birds, that sing and fly
Round Thy altars, O Most High!
Happier souls, that find a rest
In a heavenly Father's breast!
Like the wandering dove, that
found

Manna feeds them from the skies:
f On they go from strength to strength,
Till they reach Thy throne at length,
At Thy feet adoring fall,

mf Who hast led them safe through all. 4 Lord, be mine this prize to win;

Guide me through a world of sin;
Keep me by Thy saving grace;
Give me at Thy side a place.
mf Sun and shield alike Thou art;

Guide and guard my erring heart.
cres Grace and glory flow from Thee;
f Shower, oh, shower them, Lord, on
me! Amen.

To touch our lips, our minds inspire, cres And wing to heaven our thought! 4 mf God is our strength and song,

"He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom."

ImfGRACIOUS Saviour, holy Shepherd, 3 mf Let Thy holy word instruct them;

Little ones are dear to Thee; Gathered with Thine arms, and carried

In Thy bosom, may they be p Sweetly, fondly, safely tended, cres From all want and danger free.

2 Tender Shepherd, never leave them From Thy fold to go astray;

By Thy warning love directed,
May they walk the narrow way;

Fill their minds with heavenly light;
Let Thy love and grace constrain them
To approve whate'er is right,
Take Thine easy yoke, and wear it,
And to prove Thy burden light.

4mf Taught to lisp the holy praises

Which on earth Thy children sing, Both with lips and hearts unfeigned Glad thank-offerings may they bring;

Thus direct them, thus defend them, cres Then, with all the saints in glory,

Lest they fall an easy prey.

f Join to praise their Lord and King. Amen.
