3 Watchman, tell us of the night, 1004 H 7th P. M. 8 lines 7s. The song of jubilee. [ARK! the song of jubilee; Or the fulness of the sea, When it breaks upon the shore : Hallelujah! for the Lord God omnipotent shall reign; Hallelujah! let the word Echo round the earth and main. 2 Hallelujah!-hark! the sound, Sheath'd his sword: he speaks-'tis done, And the kingdoms of this world Are the kingdoms of his Son. 3 He shall reign from pole to pole He shall reign, when, like a scroll, 1005 L. M. The song of triumph. NOON may the last glad song arise, 2 Let thrones, and powers, and kingdoms, be Obedient, mighty God, to thee; And over land, and stream, and main, 1006 0 JOIN 16th P. M. 11 12, 11 12. Alleluia, the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Alleluia, they sing, in rapturous strains; 2 He gave to the light its beneficent wings; And he ruleth the factions that rage through the world. 3 Rejoice, ye that love him; his power cannot fail; His omnipotent goodness shall surely prevail; 1007 C. M. Blessedness of instructing the young. ELIGHTFUL work! young souls to win, DELIGH Dand turn the rising race From the deceitful paths of sin, To seek redeeming grace. 2 Children our kind protection claim; When infants learn to lisp his name, 3 Be ours the bliss, in wisdom's way And show the mind which went astray The honours of thy Name be spread, 1008 5th P. M. 4 lines 7s. A blessing invoked on teachers. MIGHTY One, before whose face Wisdom had her glorious seat, 1009 C. M. For a blessing on the children. To frame, in nature's earliest hour, 2 Yet didst thou not disdain awhile To bless thy mother with a smile, 3 But in thy Father's own abode, With fost'ring grace the timid flame 1010 BY The Christian child. Y cool Siloam's shady rill C. M. How sweet the breath, beneath the hill, Of Sharon's dewy rose! 2 Lo! such the child whose early feet The paths of peace have trodWhose secret heart, with influence sweet, Is upward drawn to God. 3 By cool Siloam's shady rill The lily must decay; The rose that blooms beneath the hill Must shortly fade away. 4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour Of man's maturer age Will shake the soul with sorrow's power, And stormy passion's rage. 5 O Thou who givest life and breath, We seek thy grace alone, In childhood, manhood, age, and death, To keep us still thine own. 1011 1st P. M. 6 lines 8s. Sanctified knowledge. COME, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, To whom we for our children cry, The good desired, and wanted most, Out of thy richest grace supply; The sacred discipline be given, To train and bring them up for heaven. 2 Error and ignorance remove; Their blindness, both of heart and mind: Give them the wisdom from above,Spotless, and peaceable, and kind: In knowledge pure their minds renew, And store with thoughts divinely true. 3 Learning's redundant part and vain Be here cut off, and cast aside: But let them, Lord, the substance gain; In every solid truth abide; Swiftly acquire, and ne'er forego The knowledge fit for man to know. 4 Unite the pair so long disjoin'd, Knowledge and vital piety: Learning and holiness combined, And truth and love, let all men see In those whom up to thee we give, Thine, wholly thine, to die and live. 1012 HOSA C. M. Anniversary; the children's jubilee. |
