ONCE more, before we part,
Oh, bless the Saviour's name; Let every tongue and every heart Adore and praise the same.
2 Lord, in thy grace we came,
That blessing still impart; We met in Jesus' sacred name, In Jesus' name we part.
3 Still on thy holy word
Help us to feed, and grow, Still to go on to know the Lord, And practise what we know.
4 Now, Lord, before we part,
Help us to bless thy name: Let every tongue and every heart Adore and praise the same.
HART. 4 Water the sacred seed,
God of the gospel's sound! Move glorious on,-send out thy voice To all the nations round.
2 With hearts and lips unfeigned,
We bless thee for thy word; We praise thee for the joyful news, Which our glad ears have heard.
3 Oh, may we treasure well
The counsels that we hear, Till righteousness and holy joy In all our hearts appear.
OUR Heavenly Father, hear The prayer we offer now: Thy name be hallowed far and near, To thee all nations bow.
2 Thy kingdom come; thy will Ön earth be done in love, As saints and seraphim fulfill Thy perfect law above.
3 Our daily bread supply,
While by thy word we live; The guilt of our iniquity Forgive, as we forgive.
4 From dark temptation's power Our feeble hearts defend; Deliver in the evil hour, And guide us to the end.
5 Thine, then, forever be
Glory and power divine; The sceptre, throne, and majesty Of heaven and earth are thine.
Free from care from labor free, Lord, I would com- mune with thee.
SOFTLY now the light of day Fades upon my sight away; Free from care, from labor free, Lord, I would commune with thee.
2 Thou, whose all-pervading eye Naught escapes without, within, Pardon each infirmity, Open fault, and secret sin.
3 Soon, for me, the light of day Shall forever pass away; Then, from sin and sorrow free, Take me, Lord, to dwell with thee.
4 Thou who, sinless, yet hast known All of man's infirmity;
Then from thine eternal throne, Jesus, look with pitying eye.
THOU, from whom we never part, Thou, whose love is everywhere, Thou, who seest every heart, Listen to our evening prayer.
2 Father, fill our hearts with love, Love unfailing, full and free; Love that no alarm can move, Love that ever rests on thee.
SOFTLY fades the twilight ray Of the holy Sabbath day; Gently as life's setting sun, When the Christian's course is run.
2 Night her solemn mantle spreads O'er the earth as daylight fades; All things tell of calm repose, At the holy Sabbath's close.
3 Peace is on the world abroad; 'Tis the holy peace of God- Symbol of the peace within When the spirit rests from sin.
4 Still the Spirit lingers near,
Where the evening worshiper Seeks communion with the skies, Pressing onward to the prize. 5 Saviour! may our Sabbaths be
Days of joy and peace in thee, Till in heaven our souls repose, Where the Sabbath ne'er shall close.
FOR the mercies of the day, For this rest upon our way, Thanks to thee alone be given, Lord of earth and King of heaven!
2 Cold our services have been, Mingled every prayer with sin : But thou canst and wilt forgive; By thy grace alone we live. 3 While this thorny path we tread, May thy love our footsteps lead; When our journey here is past, May we rest with thee at last.
4 Let these earthly Sabbaths prove Foretastes of our joys above; While their steps thy children bend To the rest which knows no end.
LORD, dismiss us with thy blessing; Fill our hearts with joy and peace; Let us each, thy love possessing, Triumph in redeeming grace: Oh, refresh us,
Traveling through this wilderness. 2 Thanks we give, and adoration,
For thy gospel's joyful sound; May the fruits of thy salvation In our hearts and lives abound; May thy presence With us evermore be found.
3 Then, whene'er the signal's given Us from earth to call away, Borne on angels' wings to heaven, Glad the summons to obey,
GENTLY, Lord, oh, gently lead us Through this lonely vale of tears; Thro' the changes thou 'st decreed us, Till our last great change appears. 2 When temptation's darts assail us, When in devious paths we stray, Let thy goodness never fail us, Lead us in thy perfect way.
3 In the hour of pain and anguish, In the hour when death draws near, Suffer not our hearts to languish,— Suffer not our souls to fear.
4 And, when mortal life is ended, Bid us on thy bosom rest, Till, by angel-bands attended, We awake among the blest.
