WARWICK. C. M. SAMUEL STANLEY, 98 Preparation for public worship. 1 LORD, in the morning thou shalt hear My voice ascending high: To thee will I direct my prayer, 2 Up to the hills where Christ is gone, 3 Thou art a God before whose sight 4 Now to thy house will I resort, 1 HAPPY the home when God is there, And love fills every breast; When one their wish and one their prayer And one their heavenly rest. 2 Happy the home where Jesus' name Where children early lisp his fame, 3 Happy the home where prayer is heard, And praise is wont to rise; Where parents love the sacred word, 4 Lord, let us in our homes agree, UNKNOWN. HURSLEY. L. M. PETER RITTER, ARR. BY WILLIAM HENRY MONK. 1 SUN of my soul, thou Saviour dear, 2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep 3 Abide with me from morn till eve, 4 If some poor wandering child of thine 5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor 6 Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take; Till in the ocean of thy love, We lose ourselves in heaven above. JOHN KEBLE. 103 Morning mercies, daily discipline. 1 NEW every morning is the love Our wakening and uprising prove; Through sleep and darkness safely brought, Restored to life, and power, and thought. 2 New mercies, each returning day, 3 If on our daily course our mind 4 The trivial round, the common task, 5 Only, O Lord, in thy dear love JOHN KEBLE. EVENING HYMN. L. M. THOMAS TALLIS. 1 GLORY to thee, my God, this night, 2 Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son, 3 Teach me to live, that I may dread 4 0 let my soul on thee repose, And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close; Sleep, which shall me more vigorous make, To serve my God, when I awake. 5 Lord, let my soul forever share The bliss of thy paternal care: 'Tis heaven on earth, 'tis heaven above, To see thy face, and sing thy love. 3 All praise to thee, who safe hast kept, 4 Lord, I my vows to thee renew: 5 Direct, control, suggest this day, That all my powers, with all their might, In thy sole glory may unite. 1 Now doth the sun ascend the sky, 2 Curb thou for us the unruly tongue; 30 may our hearts be pure within; 4 So when the evening stars appear, AMBROSE OF MILAN, TR. BY E. CASWALL. 1 THUS far the Lord hath led me on, Thus far his power prolongs my days; And every evening shall make known Some fresh memorial of his grace. 2 Much of my time has run to waste, And I, perhaps, am near my home; But he forgives my follies past, And gives me strength for days to come. 3 I lay my body down to sleep; Peace is the pillow for my head; While well-appointed angels keep Their watchful stations round my bed. 4 Thus, when the night of death shall come, My flesh shall rest beneath the ground, And wait thy voice to rouse my tomb, With sweet salvation in the sound. 4 Life's tumult we must meet again, 110 SAMUEL LONGFELLOW.

JEREMIAH INGALLS. 1 WE lift our hearts to thee, The night of sin disperse,- 3 How beauteous nature now! How dark and sad before! With joy we view the pleasing change, And nature's God adore. 4 0 may no gloomy crime Pollute the rising day; Or Jesus' blood, like evening dew, 5 May we this life improve, And live this short revolving day 113 Evening meditation. 1 THE day is past and gone, 3 Lord, keep us safe this night, 4 And when we early rise, And view the unwearied sun, 5 And when our days are past, 114 JOHN LELAND. [C. M. Tune, Evan. Page 156.] Protection invoked. 1 IN mercy, Lord, remember me, 2 With cheerful heart I close mine eyes, [ Since thou wilt not remove; O in the morning let me rise 3 Or if this night should prove my last, And end my transient days, Lord, take me to thy promised rest, JOHN F.
