C. M,
ALMIGHTY Father! God of love!

Our supplications hear,
Attend in mercy from above,

To our united prayer.
2 For blessings on the rising race,

We bow before thy throne;
May the rich influence of thy grace,

Our feeble efforts own. 3 More of thy grace may teachers know.

Thy Spirit's aid impart; Much patience, love, and zeal bestow,

To stimulate each heart. 4 O let us not to children iell

The road tha: leads to heaven,
And be ourselves thrust down to heli,

Where mercy's never given.

93.

L. M. God from his high and lofty thrcne,

Stoops to behold all earthly things; To him the minds of all arc known,

From meanest slaves to neightiest king 2 Does pride, or love of man's applause,

Usurp dominion o'er iny heart? Or does the love of Jesus' cause,

Its sacred energy impart?3 While I address the young-Be wiso,

“Oh fly to Jesus and his cross !" Do I all earthly things despise,

And count them but as dust and dross ? 4 Lord, search my motives,--try my heart,

And show me every secret sin;
That I may ne'er from thee depart,
Ani thou mayst always rule within.
94.

L. M. Here, gracious God, beneath thy feet, Friends to the young and thee we meet : Join'd by the cord of mutual love,

Bound by our common Friend above. 2 Our hearts thy throne of grace address,

Smile on our schools, the children bless; Whilst we our humble labours bend,

Thy glorious kingdom to extend.
3 May wisdom, zeal, and love, inspire

Our bosoms with their purest fire ;
While faith on thine own word relies,
And hope looks joyful to the skies.
Grant us thy presence, God of grace,
Now while we meet before thy face ;
That we may feel, ere we depart,
Thy love diffus'd through every heart.

95.

S. M. BLEST be the tie that binds

Our hearts in Christian love! The fellowship of kindred minds

Is lika to that above.
2 Before our Father's throne

We pour our ardent prayers :
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,

Our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes ;

Our mutual burdens bear :
And often for each other flows

The sympathizing tear. 4 When we asunder part,

It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be join'd in heart,

And hope to meet again. 5 This glorious hope revivos

Our courage by the way;
While each in expectation lives,

And longs to see the day. 6 From sorrow, toil and pain,

And sin, we shall be free;
And perfect love and frier:skip reign

To all eternity.

96.

C. M.
Let children who are taught thy word,

Their lost condition see,
By saving faith, O may they, Lord,

To Christ for pardon flee.
2 More of thy grace may teachers know ;

Thy Spirit's aid impart;
Much patierce, love, and zeal bestow,

To etimulate each heart.
3 May children and their teachers rise

In heaven's triumphant throng,
And join to sing their Saviour's praise,

In one eternal song.

GOD'S OMNIPOTENCE.

97.

L. M. Before Jehovah's awful throne, Yo nations bow, with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone,-He can create, and he destroy. His sov'reign pow'r, without our aid, Made us of clay, and form’d us men; And when like wand'ring sheep wo stray'd, He brought us to his fold again.

3 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs,

High as the heavens our voices raise ;
And earth with her ten thousand tongues,

Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. 4 Wids as the world is thy command;

Vast as eternity thy love :
Firm as a rock thy truth must stand,
When rolling ycars shall ccase to move.

98.

C. M.
Praise to the sov’rcign of the sky,

Who from his lofty throne,
Looks with compassion on the poor,

And makes their cause his own.
2 When we, the helpless sons of grief,

Low in distress were laid,
His pitying heart our sorrows felt,

His hands were swift to aid. 3 Should kindred, near and dear, forsako,

Or friends and parents die,
God livos, and (blessed be his name)

Can weli the want supply.
4 His bourty gives our daily bread,

He fills our daily cup:
Bids us rejoice in presont good,

And cheere our hearts with hope.
