3 In safety lead thy little flock,
From hell, the world, and sin secure,
And set their feet upon the rock,
And make in thee their goings sure.

NEWTON.

MAY the grace of Christ our Saviour,

And the Father's boundless love,

With the Holy Spirit's favour,

Rest upon us from above.

2 Thus may we abide in union
With each other and the Lord;
And possess, in sweet communion,
Joys which earth cannot afford.

EIGHTS AND SEVENS. 259.

LORD, dismiss us with thy blessing,
Fill our hearts with joy and peace;
Let us each, thy love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace.

2 Thanks we give, and adoration,
For the gospel's joyful sound;
May the fruits of thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound!

MONTGOMERY.

GLORY to the Father give,

God, in whom we move and live;
Children's prayers he deigns to hear,
Children's songs delight his ear.

2 Glory to the Son we bring,
Christ, our prophet, priest, and king;
Children, raise your sweetest strain
To the Lamb, for he was slain.

3 Glory to the Holy Ghost;
Be this day a pentecost!
Children's minds may he inspire,
Touch their tongues with holy fire.

4 Glory in the highest be

To the blessed Trinity,

For the gospel from above,

For the word that " God is love."

GOD our Father, great Creator!

At thy feet we humbly bow;

Gratitude for boundless favour
Should in praise for ever flow!
Great Jehovah!

Praise to thee is ever due.

2 Gracious Jesus, mighty Saviour!
Hear our lispings to thy praise;
Thou didst bless such little children,
And invite them near thy face.
Son of David!

Loud hosannas to thy name.
3 Holy Spirit! take thy dwelling
In these sinful hearts of ours;
Purify us by thy graces,
Sanctify our inmost powers.
Source of comfort!

Lighten our benighted minds.
4 Show us all thy great salvation,
Lead us in the way of truth;
Keep us safe from all temptation,
Be the Guardian of our youth.
O protect us

Through this wilderness of wo!

WATTS.

TO God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, three in one;
Be honour, praise, and glory given,
By all on earth, and all in heaven.

TO Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Who sweetly all agree

To save a world of sinners lost,
Eternal glory be.

BISHOP KEN.

PRAISE God, from whom all blessings flow

Praise him, all creatures here below;

Praise him above, ye heavenly host,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

FATHER, Son, and Holy Ghost,

One in three, and three in one, As by the celestial host,

Let thy will on earth be done : Praise by all to thee be given, Glorious Lord of earth and heaven.

Again let thankful songs arise.

Again the kind revolving year.
Alas! and did my Saviour bleed
All hail the power of Jesus' name.
Almighty Father, God of love..
Almighty Father, heavenly King.
Almighty God, thy piercing eye

Among the deepest shades of night

And am I only born to die.
And now another day is gone
And now another hour is past
And will the Judge descend
Angels, that high in glory dwell
Another six days' work is done
Arm of the Lord, awake, awake
A sad and sinful world is this

As crush'd by sudden storms, the rose
Assembled in our school once more
Assist me, gracious Lord, to pray..
Author of faith, to thee I cry
