521. L. M. Watts.

An evening Hymn.

HUS far the Lord has led me on, Thus far his power prolongs my days; And every evening shall make known Some fresh memorials of his

grace. 2 Much of my time has run to waste, And I, perhaps, am near my home; But he forgives my follies past,He gives me strength for days to come: 3 I lay my body down to sleep, Peace is the pillow for my head, While well appointed angels keep Their watchful stations round my bed. 4 Faith in his name forbids my fear; O may thy presence ne'er depart! And in the morning make me hear The love and kindness of thy heart. 5 Thus when the night of death shall come, My flesh shall rest beneath the ground, And wait thy voice to rend my tomb, With sweet salvation in the sound,

PARTING.

522. C. M. Whitfield's Collection. A parting Hymn. BEST be the dear uniting love,

That will not let us part;

Our bodies may far off remove,
We still are join'd in heart.
2 Join'd in one spirit to our Head,
Where he appoints we'll go;
And in his holy footsteps tread,
And show his praise below.

3 0 let us ever walk in him,
And nothing know beside;
Nothing desire, nor aught esteem,
But Jesus crucify'd.

4 Closer and closer let us cleave,
To his belov'd embrace;
And of his fullness still receive,
The fullness of bis grace.

5 Then let us hasten to the day,

Which shall our flesh restore; When death shall all be done away, And bodies part no more.

523. S. M.

Walker's Collection.

Praise to God at parting.

ONCE more, before we part,

We'll bless the Saviour's name: Record his mercies every heart, Sing every tongue the same. 2 Hoard up the sacred word,

And feed thereon, and grow, Go on to seek to know the Lord, And practise what you know.

524. 7's. Newton.

At parting. Acts xx. 32.

FOR a season call'd to part,

Let us now ourselves commend
To the gracious eye and heart
Of our ever-present Friend.

2 Jesus, hear our humble prayer,
Tender Shepherd of thy sheep.
Let thy mercy and thy care
All our souls in safety keep.

B In thy strength may we be strong;
Sweeten every cross and pain;
Give us, if we live, ere long
Here to meet in peace again.

525. C. M. Anon.

The parting of Christians painful.
LORD, when together here we meet,
And taste thy heavenly grace,
Thy smiles are so divinely sweet,
We're loth to leave the place.

2 Yet. Father! since it is thy will
That we must part again,
O let thy gracious presence still,
With every soul remain !

3 0 may we all in Christ be one,
Bound with the cords of love,
Till we around thy glorious throne
Shall joyful meet above:-

4 Where sin and sorrow from each heart, And pain, and grief, shall fly;

And not a thought that we must part,
E'er interrupt our joy.

5 Deliver❜d, then, from cares and pains,
Our spirits ne'er shall tire;
But, in seraphic heavenly strains,
Redeeming love admire!

526. L. M. Hart.

Dismission.

ISMISS us with thy blessing, Lord,

D'Help us to feed upon thy word;

All that has been amiss forgive,
And let thy truth within us live.

2 Though we are guilty, thou art good,
Wash all our souls in Jesus' blood;
From sin, and guilt, and woe release,.
And bid us all depart in peace.
