MY

Y soul with patience waits For thee, the living Lord: My hopes are on thy promise built, Thy never-failing word.

2 My longing eyes look out
For thy enlivening ray,

More duly than the morning watch
To spy the dawning day.

3 Let Israel trust in God;

No bounds his mercy knows;

S.M.

The plenteous source and spring from whence

Eternal succour flows;

4 Whose friendly streams to us
Supplies in want convey;

A healing spring, a spring to cleanse
And wash our guilt away.

Tate and Brady, 1698; Psalm 130

315

LOVE thy kingdom, Lord,

The house of thine abode,

The Church our blest Redeemer saved
With his own precious blood.

S.M.

2 For her my tears shall fall;
For her my prayers ascend;

To her my cares and toils be given,
Till toils and cares shall end.

3 Beyond my highest joy

I prize her heavenly ways,
Her sweet communion, solemn vows,
Her hymns of love and praise.

4 Jesus, thou friend divine,

Our Saviour and our King,
Thy hand from every snare and foe
Shall great deliverance bring.

5 Sure as thy truth shall last,
To Sion shall be given

The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven.

JE

ESUS, the very thought of thee
With sweetness fills the breast;
But sweeter far thy face to see,
And in thy presence rest.

C.M.

2 No voice can sing, no heart can frame,
Nor can the memory find,

A sweeter sound than Jesus' Name,
The Saviour of mankind.

3 0 Hope of every contrite heart,
O Joy of all the meek,

To those who fall, how kind thou art!
How good to those who seek!

4 But what to those who find? Ah, this
Nor tongue nor pen can show;
The love of Jesus, what it is
None but his loved ones know.

5 Jesus, our only joy be thou,
As thou our prize wilt be;
In thee be all our glory now,
And through eternity.

T

St. Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091-1153;
Tr. Edward Caswall, 1849, alt.

TH

Six 8's

HE Lord my pasture shall prepare,
And feed me with a shepherd's care;
His presence shall my wants supply,
And guard me with a watchful eye;
My noonday walks he shall attend,
And all my midnight hours defend.

2 When in the sultry glebe I faint,
Or on the thirsty mountain pant,
To fertile vales and dewy meads
My weary, wandering steps he leads,
Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow,
Amid the verdant landscape flow.

3 Though in the paths of death I tread,
With gloomy horrors overspread,
My steadfast heart shall fear no ill,
For thou, O Lord, art with me still;
Thy friendly crook shall give me aid,
And guide me through the dreadful shade.
Amen.

T

Joseph Addison, 1712; Psalm 23

DOXOLOGY

God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One,

Be glory in the highest given,

By all in earth, and all in heaven,
As was through ages heretofore,
Is now, and shall be evermore. Amen.

O

BLESS the Lord, my soul!
His grace to thee proclaim!
And all that is within me join
To bless his holy Name!

2 O bless the Lord, my soul!
His mercies bear in mind!
Forget not all his benefits!

The Lord to thee is kind.

3 He will not always chide;
He will with patience wait;
His wrath is ever slow to rise,
And ready to abate.

4 He pardons all thy sins;
Prolongs thy feeble breath;
He healeth thine infirmities,
And ransoms thee from death.

S.M.

5 He clothes thee with his love;
Upholds thee with his truth;
And like the eagle he renews
The vigour of thy youth.

6 Then bless his holy Name,

Whose grace hath made thee whole, Whose loving-kindness crowns thy days! O bless the Lord, my soul!
