Imploring a blessing on the Means. 1 THOU SON of GOD, whose flaming eyes 2 We bow before Thy gracious throne, 3 Is here a soul that knows Thee not, 4 Convince him now of unbelief; And fill his heart with sacred grief, 5 Speak with that voice which wakes the dead, And bid the sleeper, Rise!' And bid his guilty conscience dread 6 Extort the cry, 'What must be done 'To save a wretch like me? 'How shall a trembling sinner shun 'That endless misery?" Hymn.

The Lord's Prayer. 1 FATHER of all! to Thee we bow, 2 For ever hallow'd be Thy Name And may Thy kingdom still advance 3 To Thee, O FATHER! may each heart 4 Give us each day our daily bread; As we our brother's faults forgive, 5 Direct our life, and guard our feet, Lest in temptation's fatal path 6 Thine is the pow'r, the kingdom Thine, The glory due to Thee; Thine from eternity they were ;- |
