HYMNS SUITABLE FOR FAMILY WORSHIP. (TO BE SUNG OR READ.) Gen. xviii. 19; Job i. 5. Maxim of the world-Business must be attended to, and religion when I can find time for it. Maxim of the Christian-Religion must be attended to, and business when I can find time for it. He that provideth not for his own, is worse than an infidel. But it is no part of any man's duty to make his fortune. Having food and raiment, be therewith content. All these things do the nations of the world seek after. 341. Sunday Morning. 1 COME, let us join our souls to God And seize the blessings he bestows, 2 Come, let us to his temple haste, 3 Come let us seal, without delay, Nor shall the years of distant life 4 Thus may our rising offspring haste Nor e'er forsake the happy path 342. 1 O THOU that hearest prayer, Attend our humble cry; And let thy servants share 2 3 Thy blessing from on high: We plead the promise of thy Word, If earthly parents hear Their children when they cry; Their children's wants supply; Much more wilt thou thy love display, Our heavenly Father! Thou- Oh let thy Spirit now Descend, and fill the place: That all may feel the heavenly flame, Then shall thy kingdom come Whence pure devotion shall ascend, 343. 1 LORD, when we bend before thy throne, And our CONFESSIONS pour, Teach us to feel the sins we own, Our broken spirits pitying see, True penitence impart, Then let a kindling glance from thee 2 When we disclose our wants in PRAYER, Oh let our wills resign; And not a thought our bosom share Let faith each weak petition fill, 3 When our united voices strive Till love divine transported tell, 344. 1 TO-DAY God bids the faithful rest, 2 Come, let us leave the things of earth, With God's assembly join; Lo heaven descends to welcome man 3 We thirst, we fly to thee, O Lord, 4 O may we please our God to-day, Give, Lord, thy grace, lest evil thoughts 5 Amidst th' assembly of thy saints And let us join in humble prayer, 6 O may thy Spirit help our souls 345. 1 AGAIN the day returns of holy rest, 2 Let us devote his consecrated day 4 Father of heaven! in whom our hopes confide, Whose power defends us, and whose precepts guide; In life our guardian, and in death our friend,— 346. Sunday Evening. 1 SOON shall the evening star, with silver ray, Shed its mild lustre on this sacred day; Resume we then, ere sleep and silence reign, The rites that holiness and heaven ordain. 2 Still let each awful truth our thoughts engage, 3 Here humbly let us hope our Maker's smile 4 Father of heaven! in whom our hopes confide, Whose power defends us, and whose precepts guide; In life our guardian, and in death our friend,— 1 ALMIGHTY Father, God of grace, In folly, from thy paths have turn'd, 2 Sins of omission and of act Through all our lives abound; 3 Oh! spare us, Lord! in mercy spare, Through Him who suffer'd on the cross, 348.

Thy children, form'd and bless'd by thee, Thy name in hallow'd strains be sung; But cannot add to thine. 3 Thy righteous, mild, and glorious reign, Lord, in our hearts, where passions rude, 4 As angels round thy seat above, |
