4 To thee we look, to thee we bow; 70 John xiv, 6. (C. M.) 1 THOU art the way! to thee alone And he, who would the Father seek, 2 Thou art the truth! thy word alone True wisdom can impart; Thou only canst instruct the mind, 3 Thou art the life! the empty tomb 4 Thou art the way, the truth, the life; Grant us to know that way, That truth to keep, that life to win, 71 Psalm 1xxiii, 26. (c. M.) 1 O LORD! I would delight in thee, And on thy care depend; To thee in every trouble flee,- 2 When all created streams are dried, 3 No good in creatures can be found, I must have all things and abound, 4 O Lord! I cast my care on thee; Henceforth my great concern shall be, 72 Matthew xviii, 20. (L.

Shall descend to claim his own. 2 What is earth, with all its treasures Draw from heav'n's eternal springs. 3 But if here we taste of pleasure, There our joy will know no measure, Shall obtain their bright reward. 4 Fly ye seasons, fly still faster, Take, O take them hence away! 74 Romans v, 5. (c. M.) 1 COME, Holy Spirit, heav'nly dove, With all thy quick'ning pow'rs; Kindle a flame of sacred love, In these cold hearts of ours. 2 Look how we grovel here below; 3 In vain we tune our formal songs, 4 Forbid it, Lord, that this should be 5 Come, Holy Spirit, heav'nly dove, 75 Romans viii, 15—17. (7's double.) 1 BLESSED are the sons of God, They are bought with Christ's own blood; They are ransom'd from the grave, Life eternal they shall have: All their sins are wash'd away, 2 They produce the fruits of grace, 3 Though they suffer much on earth, Heirs of God, joint heirs with Christ; 76 Psalm xxxvii, 23. (L. M.) 1 WHILE passing through the wilderness, Full of temptations and distress, What comfort does the thought afford, "Our steps are order'd by the Lord!" 2 Though disappointments oft abound, And sorrows may our steps surround, We gain relief from this sweet word, "Our steps are order'd by the Lord!" |
