SON of God, to Thee I cry ;

By the holy mystery

Of Thy dwelling here on earth,
By Thy pure and holy birth,
Lord, Thy presence let me see,
Manifest Thyself to me.

Lamb of God, to Thee I cry ;
By Thy bitter agony,

By Thy pangs to us unknown,
By Thy Spirit's parting groan,
Lord, Thy presence let me see,
Manifest Thyself to me.

Prince of Life, to Thee I cry ;
By Thy glorious majesty,
By Thy triumph o'er the grave,
Meek to suffer, strong to save,
Lord, Thy presence let me see,
Manifest Thyself to me.

Lord of glory, God most high,
Man exalted to the sky,

With Thy love my bosom fill;
Prompt me to perform Thy will;
Then Thy glory I shall see,

Thou wilt bring me home to Thec.

LAMB of God! for sinners slain;

By Thy mercy born again,

For Thy guidance still we pray,
Lest from grace we fall away.

By the mystic, cleansing flood,
By the water and the blood,
Wash'd and sanctified to Thee,
Pure and holy let us be.

Aid us with Thy daily grace,
Stedfastly to run our race;
Grant us victory in the strife,
And the prize of endless life.

Laud and praise from all on earth,
To the God of our new birth;
Praise Him, all ye heavenly host,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

COME, magnify the Saviour's love;

Come, praise our great Redeemer's Name,

Who left the Father's throne above,

And stoop'd for us to death and shame :

At God's right hand exalted now,
With glory, majesty, and power,
Let every knee before Him bow,
And every tongue His Name adore.
Thy lowly spirit, Lord, impart;
With holy fear our bosoms fill
O give the meek, obedient heart,
To suffer and to do Thy will.

Thy cross, bless'd Saviour, may we bear;
Mark the example Thou hast given;
Follow in all Thy footsteps here;
Rise to Thy glorious rest in heaven.

A men.
