8, 7. STOCKWELL. DARIUS ELIOT JONES. 115 Memories of the dead. 1 SILENTLY the shades of evening 2 O the lost, the unforgotten, Though the world be oft forgot! 3 Living in the silent hours, Where our spirits only blend, 4 How such holy memories cluster, 1 SAVIOUR, breathe an evening blessing, Ere repose our spirits seal; Sin and want we come confessing; Thou canst save and thou canst heal. 2 Though destruction walk around us, 3 Though the night be dark and dreary, 4 Should swift death this night o'ertake us, JAMES EDMESTON. LOUIS MOREAU GOTTSCHALK, ARR, BY E. P. PARKER. 1 0 GOD, of good the unfathomed sea! With all his strength, to thee unite? 2 Thou shin'st with everlasting rays; Before the insufferable blaze Angels with both wings veil their eyes; Yet free as air thy bounty streams; On all thy works thy mercy's beams, Diffusive as thy sun's, arise. 3 Astonished at thy frowning brow, Earth, hell, and heaven's strong pillars bow: Terrible majesty is thine! Who then can that vast love express 4 High throned on heaven's eternal hill, JOHANN A. SCHEFFLER. TH. BY J. WESLEY. OXFORD. C. M. WILLIAM COOMBL 120 Te Deum laudamus. 1 0 Gon, we praise thee, and confess 2 To thee all angels cry aloud; 3 "O holy, holy, holy Lord, Whom heavenly hosts obey, 4 The apostles' glorious company, 5 The holy Church throughout the world, O Lord, confesses thee, That thou eternal Father art, Of boundless majesty. 1 THERE seems a voice in every gale, The birds, that rise on quivering wing, 2 Shall I be mute, great God, alone All nature's debt is small to mine; Thou gavest-proof of love divine-. MES. AMELIA OPIE 1 LORD, all I am is known to thee; 2 Thy all-surrounding sight surveys My public walks, my private ways, 3 My thoughts lie open to thee, Lord, 4 O wondrous knowledge, deep and high! 5 So let thy grace surround me still, ISAAC WATTS. 124 The Author of every perfect gift. 2 Mercy and grace are thine alone, 3 We cannot speak one useful word, 4 His blood demands the purchased grace: His blood's availing plea Obtained the help for all our race, 5 From thee, through Jesus, we receive The power on thee to call, In whom we are, and move, and live; 1 O GOD, thy power is wonderful, Thy glory passing bright; Thy wisdom, with its deep on deep, A rapture to the sight. 2 I see thee in the eternal years Ere round thine uncreated fires 3 I see thee walk in Eden's shade, 4 I see thee when the doom is o'er, 5 Angelic spirits, countless souls, Thy joy and glory still. 6 O little heart of mine! shall pain FREDERICK W. FABER. ALL SAINTS. L. M. WILLIAM KNAPP. 1 O GOD, thou bottomless abyss! Thee to perfection who can know? 2 Greatness unspeakable is thine; Greatness, whose undiminished ray, What lives and moves, lives by thy word; 127 ERNEST LANGE. TR. BY J. WESLEY. SECOND PART. Wisdom, love, power. 1 THINE, Lord, is wisdom, thine alone; Justice and truth before thee stand: Yet, nearer to thy sacred throne, Mercy withholds thy lifted hand. 2 Each evening shows thy tender love, Each rising morn thy plenteous grace; Thy wakened wrath doth slowly move, Thy willing mercy flies apace. 3 To thy benign, indulgent care, Father, this light, this breath, we owe; And all we have, and all we are, From thee, great Source of being, flow. 4 Thrice Holy! thine the kingdom is, The power omnipotent is thine; And when created nature dies, Thy never-ceasing glories shine. ERNEST LANGE. TR. BY J. WESLEY. 128 Immanuel, God with us. 1 ETERNAL depth of love divine, In Jesus, God with us, displayed; How bright thy beaming glories shine! How wide thy healing streams are spread! 2 With whom dost thou delight to dwell? Sinners, a vile and thankless race! O God, what tongue aright can tell How vast thy love, how great thy grace! 3 The dictates of thy sovereign will With joy our grateful hearts receive; All thy delight in us fulfill; Lo, all we are to thee we give. 4 To thy sure love, thy tender care, NICOLAUS L. ZINZENDORF. TR. BY J. WESLEY, 129 For the grace of the Holy Trinity. 1 BLEST Spirit, one with God above, 3 O holy Father, holy Son, And Holy Spirit, Three in One, |
