2 Rebel, ye waves, and o'er the land
With threat'ning aspect roar;
The Lord uplifts his awful hand,
And chains you to the shore.

3 Howl, winds of night, your force combine, Without his high behest,

Ye shall not in the mountain pine
Disturb the sparrow's nest.

4 Ye nations bend, in rev'rence bend,
Ye monarchs wait his nod,
And bid the choral song ascend,
To celebrate your God.

Psalm Ixii, 11. (c. M.)

PART II.

1 THE Lord our God is Lord of all,
His station who can find?

I hear him in the waterfall!
I hear him in the wind!

2 If in the gloom of night I shroud,
His face I cannot fly;

I see him in the evening cloud,
And in the morning sky.

3 He bids his blasts the fields deform,
Then, when his thunders cease,

Sits as the ruler of the storm,
And smiles the winds to peace!

113

Psalm xxxiv, 1—4. (P. M.)

1 FAITHLESS to my Saviour? never, Never more I'll be ;

He has loved, and loves me ever;
He has died for me!

2 Often from the fold I wander'd;
Griev'd his holy will;

Oft the choicest gifts I squander'd,
But he lov'd me still!

3 How the kindest calls I've slighted,
When his Spirit strove!

Hours neglected! mercies blighted!
Still I had his love!

4 Lord, I turn to thee, and never,
Never more I'll roam;

Serve thee, soul and spirit, ever,
Till thou bring'st me home.

Colossians iii, 16. (c. M.)

1 COME, blessed Spirit, fill my soul
With my Redeemer's praise;

To thee, my God, my Friend, my all,
My cheerful voice I'll raise.

2 My heart would joy in thee, my Lord;
My tongue thy grace declare;

And psalms and hymns, and sacred songs,
My day and night should share.

3 Accept then, Lord, my weak desires
To bless and praise thy name;
And may my life, in stronger words,
Set forth my ardent aim.

4 To thee I look, to thee I cry;
Oh hear my suppliant voice!
Fill me with love, with patience, hope,
And humbly I'll rejoice.

115

Revelation XV, 3. (s. M.)

1 AWAKE, and sing the song
Of Moses and the Lamb:

Wake ev'ry heart and ev'ry tongue,
To praise the Saviour's name.

2 Sing of his dying love,

Sing of his rising pow'r,
Sing how he intercedes above,
For those whose sins he bore!

3 Sing on your heav'nly way,

Ye ransom'd sinners, sing:
Sing on, rejoicing ev'ry day,

In Christ th' eternal King!

4 Soon shall we hear him say,

"Ye blessed children, come;" Soon will he call us hence away,

And take his wand'rers home.

116

Psalm li, 12. (7's.)

1 GRACIOUS Spirit, love divine,
Let thy light within me shine:
All my guilty fears remove,
Fill me full of heav'n and love.

2 Speak thy pard'ning grace to me,
Set the burden'd sinner free:
Lead me to the Lamb of God,
Wash me in his precious blood.
3 Life and peace to me impart,
Seal salvation on my heart,
Breathe thyself into my breast,
Earnest of eternal rest.

4 Let me never from thee stray,
Keep me in the narrow way;
Fill my soul with joy divine,
Keep me, Lord, for ever thine.

117

Hosea iii, 5. (L. M.)

1 GREAT God of Abra'am, hear our pray'r,
Let Abra'am's seed thy mercy share:
Oh! may they now at length return,
And look on him they pierc'd, and mourn.
2 Remember Jacob's flock of old,

Bring home the wand'rers to thy fold;
Remember too thy promis'd word,
"Israel at last shall seek the Lord."

3 Lord, put thy law within their hearts,
And write it in their inward parts;
The veil of darkness rend in two,
Which hides Messiah from their view.

4 Oh! haste the day, foretold so long,
When Jew and Greek, (a glorious throng,)
One house shall seek, one pray'r shall pour,
And one Redeemer shall adore.

1 Corinthians vii, 35. (L. M. 6's.)

1 THY presence, gracious Lord, afford,
Prepare us to receive thy word:
Now let thy voice engage our ear,
And faith be mix'd with what we hear;
Thus, Lord, thy waiting servants bless,
And crown thy gospel with success.

2 Distracting thoughts and cares remove,
And fix our hearts and hopes above;
With food divine, may we be fed,
And satisfied with living bread :
Thus, Lord, thy waiting servants bless,
And crown thy gospel with success.

3 To us thy sacred word apply,
With sov'reign pow'r and energy ;
And may we, in thy faith and fear,
Reduce to practice what we hear:
Thus, Lord, thy waiting servants bless,
And crown thy gospel with success.
