5. Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all thy quickening powers;
Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love,
And that shall kindle ours.

When met for Worship.

1. JESUS, let not thy grace delay
To meet us with thy love;
Drive interposing clouds away,
And make our guilt remove.

2. Come in with power to every soul,
O thou immortal Dove!

Make every wounded spirit whole,
With thy redeeming love.

3. We long to meet our God to-day,
And taste thy grace divine,
That every soul with joy may say,
My Lord, my God is mine.

The Spirit's Presence desired.

1. SPIRIT divine, attend our prayer,
Now make this place thy home ;
Descend with all thy gracious power;
O come, great Spirit, come!

2. Come as the light; to us reveal
Our sinfulness and wo,

And lead us in the paths of life,
Where all the righteous go.

3. Come as the fire, and purge our hearts
Like sacrificial flame;

Let

every soul an offering be

To our Redeemer's name.

4. Come as a dove, and spread thy wings,
The wings of peaceful love,

And let the church on earth become
Blest as the church above.

The Spir-it breathes up-on the word, And brings the truth to sight;

The Glory of the Word.

1. THE Spirit breathes upon the word,
And brings the truth to sight;
Precepts and promises afford

A sanctifying light.

2. A glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic like the sun;

It gives a light to every age,
It gives-but borrows none.

3. The hand that gave it still supplies
The gracious light and heat;
His truths upon the nations rise,
They rise, but never set.

4. Let everlasting thanks be thine,
For such a bright display,

As makes a world of darkness shine
With beams of heavenly day.

5. My soul rejoices to pursue

82.

The steps of Him I love,
Till glory breaks upon my view,
In brighter worlds above.

C. M.

Prayer for the Spirit's Presence.

1. ASSEMBLED round thine altar, Lord,
To lift our hearts in prayer,
To read the pages of thy word,
And learn our duty there :—

2. We ask thy Spirit's guiding ray ;
Thy presence we implore;
Dear Saviour, teach us how to pray,
And how to love thee more.

3. So shall our worship here below
Resemble that above,

83.

Where saints thy endless glory view,
And sing redeeming love.

C. M.

The Glory of the Word.

1. A GLORY in the word we find,
When grace restores our sight;
But sin has darkened all the mind,
And veiled the heavenly light.

2. When God the Spirit clears our view,
How bright the doctrines shine!
Their holy fruits and sweetness show
The Author is divine.

3. How blest are we, with open face
To view thy glory, Lord,

And all thy image here to trace
Reflected in thy word.

4. O teach us, as we look, to grow
In holiness and love,

That we may long to see and know
Thy glorious face above.

The Word of God the Saint's Portion.

1. LORD, I have made thy word my choice,
My lasting heritage;

There shall my noblest powers rejoice,
My warmest thoughts engage.

2. I'll read the histories of thy love,
And keep thy laws in sight;
While through the promises I rove,
With ever fresh delight.

3. 'Tis a broad land, of wealth unknown,
Where springs of life arise;
Seeds of immortal bliss are sown,
And hidden glory lies.

4. The best relief that mourners have,—
It makes our sorrows blest;

Our fairest hope beyond the grave,
And our eternal rest.

Watts.

C. M.

Preciousness of the Bible.

1. HOW precious is the book divine,
By inspiration given!

Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine,
To guide our souls to heaven.

2. It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts,
In this dark vale of tears;
Life, light, and joy, it still imparts,
And quells our rising fears.

3. This lamp, through all the tedious night
Of life, shall guide our way,

Till we behold the clearer light
Of an eternal day.
