3 Then let us in his name sing on,
And hasten to that day

When our Redeemer shall come down,
And shadows pass away.

4 Not one, but all, our days below
Let us in hymns employ;
And in our Lord rejoicing go
To his eternal joy.

JESUS, our holy Lord,

Thy name we join to sing,
Who didst on this glad day

Complete salvation bring;
We bless the Lord, who from the grav
Arose again, lost man to save.

2 O Lord, forgive the child
Who plays and sins away
The mercies we enjoy

On this thy sacred day;

For here we learn to serve the Lord,
And sing his praise, and hear his word

3 Through thy redeeming blood,
O Saviour, set us free;
Assisted by thy grace,

O may we live to thee:

4

And take us, Lord, when we shall die,
To dwell with thee above the sky.

SWEET is the work, O Lord,
Thy glorious name to sing,
To praise and pray-to hear thy word,
And grateful offerings bring.

2 Sweet-at the dawning light,
Thy boundless love to tell;
And when approach the shades of night,
Still on the theme to dwell.

3 Sweet-on this day of rest,
To join in heart and voice,
With those, who love and serve thee best,
And in thy name rejoice.

4 To songs of praise and joy
Be every sabbath given,

That such may be our blest employ
Eternally in heaven.

LONG.

WE'VE pass'd another sabbath day,

And heard of Jesus and of heaven: We thank thee for thy word, and pray That this day's sins may be forgiven. 2 Forgive our inattention, Lord,

Our looks and thoughts that went astray; Forgive our carelessness abroad;

At home, our idleness and play.

3 May all we heard and understood Be well remember'd through the week, And help to make us wise and good, More humble, diligent, and meek. 4 So when our lives are finish'd here, And days and sabbaths shall be o'er, May we above in heaven appear,

To serve and love thee evermore.

LONG.

PUBLIC WORSHIP.

TAYLOR.

WHEN to the house of God we go,

To hear his word, and sing his love,

We ought to worship him below,
As saints and angels do above.

2 They stand before his presence now,
And praise him better far than we,
Who only at his footstool bow,

And love him though we cannot see. 3 But God is present everywhere, And watches all our thoughts and ways; He marks who humbly join in prayer, And who sincerely sing his praise. 4 The triflers, too, his eye can see, Who only seem to take a part; They move the lip, and bend the knee, But do not seek him with the heart.

5 O may we never trifle so,

Nor lose the days our God has given, But learn, by sabbaths here below, To spend eternity in heaven!

TO thy temple I repair,

MONTGOMERY.

Lord, I love to worship there,
Heavenly Father! give me grace,
In thy courts to seek thy face.
2 While thy glorious praise is sung,
Touch my lips, unloose my tongue,
That my joyful soul may bless
Thee, the Lord my righteousness.

3 While the prayers of saints ascend, God of love, to mine attend;

Hear me, for thy Spirit pleads,
Hear, for Jesus intercedes.

4 While I hearken to thy law,
Fill my soul with humble awe,
Till thy gospel bring to me
Life and immortality.

5 While thy ministers proclaim
Peace and pardon in thy name,
Through thy voice, by faith may I
Hear Thee speaking from on high.

6 From thy house when I return,
May my heart within me burn,

And at evening let me say,
-I have walk'd with God to-day.

THE eye of God is everywhere
To watch the sinner's ways;
He sees who join in humble prayer,
And who in solemn praise.

2 One glance of thine, eternal Lord,
Can pierce and search us through;
Nor heaven, nor earth, nor hell afford
A shelter from thy view.

3 The universe, in every part,
At once before thee lies;
And every thought of every heart
Is open to thine eyes.

4 Prepare us, Lord, to pray and praise With fervent, holy love;

And fit us by thy word of grace
To worship thee above.

LONG.

LORD, how delightful 'tis to see
A whole assembly worship thee!

At once they sing, at once they pray;
They hear of heaven, and learn the way,

2 I have been there and still would go, 'Tis like a little heaven below:
