"If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on My holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable; and shalt honor him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:

"Then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it." Is. lviii. 13, 14.

IGHT of light, enlighten me,

Now anew the day is dawning;

Sun of grace, the shadows flee,

Brighten Thou my Sabbath morning;
With Thy joyous sunshine blest,

Happy be my day of rest!

Fount of all our joy and peace,
To Thy living waters lead me:
Thou from earth my soul release,
And with grace and mercy feed
Bless Thy word, that it may prove
Rich in fruits that Thou dost love.

Kindle Thou the sacrifice

That upon my lips is lying;
Clear the shadows from mine eyes,
That, from every error flying,
No stronger fire within me glow,
That thine altar doth not know.

me;

Let me with my heart to-day,
Holy, Holy, Holy, singing,
Rapt awhile from earth away,

All my soul to Thee upspringing,
Have a foretaste inly given

How they worship Thee in Heaven.

Rest in me and I in Thee,

Build a paradise within me ; Oh, reveal Thyself to me !

Blessed Love, who diedst to win me;

Fed from Thine exhaustless urn,
Pure and bright my lamp shall burn.

Hence all care, all vanity,

For the day to God is holy; Come, Thou glorious Majesty, Deign to fill this temple lowly; Nought to-day my soul shall move, Simply resting in Thy love.

"In Thy light shall we see light." — Ps. xxxvi. 9.

TEALING from the world away,

STEAL

We are come to seek Thy face;

Kindly meet us, Lord, we pray,

Grant us Thy reviving grace.

Warm our hearts in prayer and praise,

Lift our every thought above;
Hear the grateful songs we raise,
Fill us with Thy perfect love.

"And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God."— Heb. iv. 4, 9.

OFTLY fades the twilight ray

SOFTL

Of the holy Sabbath day;

Gently as life's setting sun,

When the Christian's course is run.

Peace is on the world abroad;
'Tis the holy peace of God,
Symbol of the peace with'n,
When the spirit rests from sin.

Saviour, may our Sabbaths be
Days of peace and joy in Thee,
Till in heaven our souls repose,

Where the Sabbath ne'er shall close.

"The veil of the temple was rent in twain, from the top to the bottom."- ST. MARK XV. 38.

"The hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him." - St. JOHN iv. 23.

"'LL worship the Lord in His house,

I'LL

I'll haste with the church-going throng, At His altar to offer my vows,

And join in the festival song.

I'll worship the Lord with the few
Sojourners who meet by the way;

To muse of the Canaan in view,

And for strength of their pilgrimage pray.

I'll worship the Lord in the ring,
When brothers and sisters unite;
Every morning his goodness to sing,
His mercy and truth every night.

But, oh! there's a temple besides, —
A temple the world ne'er hath known,
Where ministering silence presides,

And the heart is the altar alone.

To the High-Priest Himself I'll draw near, To His own mercy-seat in the heaven, When the voice of His love meets mine ear, Go in peace, thy sins are forgiven.

"Blessed are they that dwell in Thy house."- Ps. lxxxiv. 4.

OW sweet the melting lay,

How

Which breaks upon the ear,

When, at the hour of rising day,
Christians unite in prayer.

The breezes waft their cries
Up to Jehovah's throne;
He listens to their bursting sighs,
And sends His blessings down.

So Jesus rose to pray,

Before the morning light ;

Once on the chilling mount did stay
And wrestle all the night.

Glory to God on high,

Who sends His blessings down,
To rescue souls condemned to die,
And make His people one.
