Well pleased the laborers behold With joy they bear the sheaves away, 4. Thus teach me, gracious God, to sow 669. Morning and Evening. 1. HOSANNA, with a cheerful sound, To God's upholding hand; 2. [Hy. 682. Ten thousand snares attend us round, That was a most amazing power, 3. The evening rests our weary head, 4. God is our sun, whose daily light #3 Let God the Father and the Son, And Spirit be a - dored 9:3 9 Where there are works to make him known, Or saints to love the Lord. 1. HE, who on earth as man was known, 2. His hands the wheels of nature guide And countless worlds, extended wide, 3.

How glorious he-how happy they, Whose love secures them all the way, 671. Covenant with Abraham. [Hy. 538. 1. How large the promise, how divine, To Abra'm and his seed!

He takes young children to his arms, And calls them heirs of heaven. Our God, how faithful are his ways! His love endures the same; Nor from the promise of his grace, Blots out the children's name. 1. How deep and tranquil is the joy Which thou hast kindly given 4. Sweet in the confidence of faith, 5. If such the sweetness of the streams, What must the fountain be, Where saints and angels draw their bliss Immediately from thee? [Hy.661. 676. To those who seek the presence, Lord, 2. "T is in the silence of the shade My sober thoughts begin, 3. "T is here the troubled springs of life 4. Far, far above all mortal things And while he names celestial joys, 5. Then let the noisy world pursue Evening Hymn. [Hy. 694. 1. DREAD Sovereign, let my evening song 2. Through all the dangers of the day 3. Perpetual blessings from above But Oh, how few returns of love 4. What have I done for him that died 5. Lord, with this guilty heart of mine, And to thy grace my soul resign, Sprinkled afresh with pardoning blood, lay me down to rest, As in th' embraces of my God, Let God the Father and the Son, And Spi- rit be adored, Where there are 9:3 works to make him known, Or saints to love the Lord, Or saints to love the Lord. 1. ABOVE these heavens' created rounds, Thy truth out-lives the narrow bounds, 2. Safety to man thy goodness brings, 3. From thee, when creature-streams run low, And mortal comforts die, Perpetual springs of life shall flow, 4. Though all created light decay, 3. The swelling floods tumultuous rise- 4. The Lord, the mighty God on high, He speaks and noise and tempests fly; 5. Thy sovereign laws are ever sure; And, Lord, thy people should be pure, 679. Resurrection of Christ. 1. AGAIN the Lord of life and light Awakes the kindling ray, Unseals the eyelids of the morn, And pours increasing day. [Hy. 36. 2. O what a night was that which wrapt A guilty world in gloom!
