To God the Father, yield Immortal praise and love, For all our comforts here, And all our hopes above: He sent His own Eternal Son,

To die for sins which man had done.

To God, the' Eternal Son,

Let praise immortal flow,

Who bought us with His blood,

Who saves from endless woe:

And now on high, He lives and reigns,
And sees the fruits of all His pains.

To God, the Holy Ghost,
Immortal honours give:
Whose new-creating power
Can make the dead to live;

His work completes the great design,
And fills the soul with joy divine.

Immortal praise to Thee,

O Father, Spirit, Son!

The Undivided Three!

The Great Mysterious One!

With all her powers, where reason fails,
There love adores, and faith prevails.

Sacramental.

70.

Baptism of Infants.

S. M.

1 The gentle SAVIOUR calls Our children to His breast;

2

He folds them in His gracious arms,
Himself declares them blest.

"Let them approach," He cries,
Nor scorn their humble claim:

The heirs of heaven are such as these,
For such as these I came.'

3 Gladly we bring them, Lord,
Devoting them to Thee;

Imploring that, as we are thine,
Thine may our offspring be.

71.

The Lord's Supper.

L. M.

1 My God, and is thy table spread?
And does thy cup with love o'erflow?
Thither be all thy children led,
And let them all thy bounty know.

2 Hail, sacred feast! which Jesus makes; Blest promise of His flesh and blood!

Thrice happy who indeed partakes That sacred stream, that heavenly food. 3 Why are its blessings all in vain Before unwilling hearts display'd? Was not for you the Victim slain? Are you forbid the children's bread? 4 O let thy table honour'd be,

And furnish'd well with joyful guests;
And may each soul salvation see,
That here its sacred pledges tastes.

5 Let crowds approach with hearts prepar'd,
With wills resign'd let all attend;
Nor, when we leave our Father's board,
The pleasure or the profit end.

6 Revive the dying embers, Lord,
And bid our souls awake and live;
And to our act that worth afford,
A Saviour's blood alone can give.

72. For pardon and repentance. (6. 8.)

1 FORGIVE, O Lord! our wanderings past; Henceforth we would obey thy call;

Our sins far from us let us cast,

And turn to Thee devoutly all:

Then with archangels we shall sing

High praise to heaven's Eternal King.

2 Hear us, O God! in mercy hear; With sorrow we our guilt deplore: Pity our anguish, calm our fear,

And give us grace to sin no more:
Then with archangels we shall sing
High praise to heaven's Eternal King.

3 While at thine altar's foot we kneel,
And of thy holy rite partake,
Our pardon, Lord, vouchsafe to seal,
For Jesus, our Redeemer's sake:
Then with archangels we shall sing
High praise to heaven's Eternal King.

73. From the communion service.

C. M.

1 To God be glory, peace on earth,
Good-will to mortals shown!
We praise, we bless, we glorify,
We worship Thee alone.

2 We thank Thee for thy glorious grace,
That fills our souls with light:

Lord God! the King of heaven! the God
And Father of all might!

3 And Thou, beloved Son of God!
That tak'st our sins away,

Have mercy, Saviour of mankind!
And hear us when we pray.

4 Thou, who dost sit at God's right hand, Upon the Father's throne,

Have mercy, mercy on us, Lord!
Who art the Holy One.

5 Thou with the Holy Ghost, O Christ!
Whom heaven and earth adore,
High in the Father's glory art,
Most High for evermore.

74. For the Afternoon of a Sacrament Day. (4.7.)

1 GOD of all redeeming grace,

By thy cleasing mercy heal'd,
Up to Thee our souls we raise,
And to Thee our bodies yield.

2 Thou our Sacrifice receive,
Humbly offer'd through thy Son:
May we ever in Thee live,

May thy will in us be done!

3 Meet it is, and just and right,
That we should be wholly thine :
In thy sacred word delight,
In thy blessed service join.

4 O that every deed and word

May proclaim how good Thou art! "Holiness unto the Lord,"

Should be written on each heart.
