2 Our eyes with holy joy survey, (wrought, The glorious works thine hands have Till to the realms of perfect day,

On wings of faith we're upward caught,
And worship with thy saints above,
And hail thy pow'r, and hail thy love!

8 Thy love first laid creation's plan,

And strengthen'd thy creative voice,
Love gave thy Son to die for man,
And love shall make our hearts rejoice:
Heav'n, earth, and hell, thy goodness prove,
Yea all thy works subsist by love.

4 Whilst endless ages onward roll,

We shall thy wond'rous deeds proclaim, And grateful love shall tune each soul, To speak the glories of thy name; The boundless notes shall flow along, Whilst angels join the glowing song.

LXXI. HYMN.-8 lines, 8's.

1 O TIME how potent is thy sway,
To thee the greatest monarchs yield;
In pride they flourish for a day,
Then fainting, vanquished, quit the field.
Yea, all must pay the debt of sin,
A debt which death itself must pay;
But this immortal part within,
Shall live to all eternity.

2 Eternity! how vast the thought;
And shall we never cease to be!
And must we never come to nought!
What wondrous beings then are we.
Though buried in the boist'ross deep,
Where foaming billows o'er us roar;
Our God can wake us from that sleep,
The sleep of death, to die no more.

J. M. C.

LXXII. HYMN.-P. M.

I AT the holy name of Jesus,
With devotion bend the knee;
He from sorrow came to save us,
Came to set the captive free.
See the lowly heavenly stranger,
Deeply bathed in infant tears,
Lying lonely in a manger,
Fill'd with all an infant's fears.

2 See him as he grows in stature,
Glowing with etherial love,

Though disguised in human nature,
Fraught with wisdom from above.
Hark! what tidings of salvation,
He proclaims to sinful man;
Praise him then with adoration,
Praise, O praise him every one.

3 Why did God our nature borrow? 'Twas to set creation free;

'Twas to bear our sin and sorrow,
Jesus bled on Calvary.

Now he reigns in exaltation,
Now he pleads our cause above;
Praise his name with adoration,
Praise him for his boundless love.

LXXIII. HYMN.-P. M.

1 FATHER of life before thy throne,
We bow to praise thy name,
For thou art worthy, thou alone,
Our adorations claim.

E'er while we yet were slaves to sin,
The Saviour set us free;
Although he was despised of men,
And bled on Calvary.

2 For this he vanquished death and hell, For this ascended high,

Delivering such as did rebel,
From their captivity.

Where death, is thy terrific sting?
Thy triumph is no more;

The praises of our God we sing,
Who conquers to restore.

3 O bend before the throne of God;
Ye nations praise his name;

O tell his saving love abroad,
And all his works proclaim.
To give him universal praise
Ye tribes of earth accord,
Aloft your tuneful voices raise
And magnify the Lord.

LXXIV. HYMN.-L. M.

1.

CHRIST Jesus, our Lord, our teacher and king, Those comforting words we thankfully sing; May we as from heaven thy counsel receive, Consider the ravens, and learn to believe.

2

Whatever distress, or want may betide,
The God of all grace will for us provide:
Thou in his great name hast taught us to say,
Consider the ravens whenever you pray.

3

They sow not, nor reap, nor gather in store, Have nothing to keep, yet never are poor, Since God in the heavens made nothing in vain, Consider the ravens, and never complain.

4+

(few, Your wants may be great, and friends may be Yet on him still wait, whatever you do; To God our great Father continue to call, Consider the ravens, and trust him for all.

G.

5

Look up to his throne and never despair, But thankfully own his wise fatherly care; Our Jehovah-jireh for ever adore,

Consider the ravens and doubt him no more.

LXXV. HMYN.-C. M.

1 THE dimning veil which shuts our sight,
Will yet be rent in twain;
Refulgent glories banish night,
And faith no longer wane.

Above the high empyrean heaven,
Enthron'd in Love Divine,
There dwells the Son to mortals given,
The flesh, the bread, the wine.

3 Pause, O my soul, look up and see
Thy Father seated there;

The honour of thy destiny
No mortal can declare.

4 Art thou a member of this Head?
And heir with Jesus too?

And art thou now among the dead?
And dost thou sorrow view?

5 The members must the head rejoinThe body be compleat
