WHILE, with ceaseless course, the sun

Hasted through the former year,

Many souls their race have run,
Never more to meet us here.

Fix'd in an eternal state,

They have done with all below; We a little longer wait,

But how little none can know.

Swiftly thus our fleeting days

Bear us down life's rapid stream!
Lord, to heaven our wishes raise;
All on earth is but a dream.
Bless thy word to young and old;
Fill us with the Saviour's love;
And, when life's short tale is told,
May we dwell with Thee above.

GREAT God! what do I see and hear!

The end of things created!

The Judge of mankind doth appear
On clouds of glory seated.

The trumpet sounds! the graves restore
The dead, which they contain'd before!
Prepare, my soul, to meet Him.

O GOD, our Help in ages past,
Our Hope for years to come,
Our Shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal Home!

C.M.

Under the shadow of thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure :
Sufficient is thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure.

Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.

A thousand ages, in thy sight,
Are like an evening gone;

Short as the watch that ends the night,
Before the rising sun.

Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.

O God! our Help in ages past,
Our Hope for years to come;

Be Thou our Guard while troubles last
And our eternal Home !
