2 Simple, teachable, and mild,
Like unto a little child,

Pleased with all the Lord provides,
Weaned from all the world besides.

3 Father, fix our souls on thee,
Every evil let us flee;

Only seek above, below,

Thee to serve, and thee to know.

4 O that all may seek and find, Every good in Jesus joined ; Him let Israel still adore,

Trust him, praise him, evermore!

C.M.

1 OUR souls lie cleaving to the dust,
Lord give us life we pray;

From vain desires and every lust,
O turn our eyes away!

2 We need the influence of thy grace,
To speed us on our way,
Lest we should loiter in our race,
Or turn our feet astray.

3 Are not thy mercies sovereign still,
And thou a faithful God?

Wilt thou not grant us warmer zeal
To run the heavenly road?

4 Then shall we love thy gospel more,
Nor so forget thy word;

Then shall we feel its blessed power,
To make us serve the Lord.

166.

C.M.

1 TRY us, O God, and search the ground
Of every sinful heart ;
Whate'er of sin in us is found,
O bid it all depart.

2 When to the right or left we stray,
Leave us not comfortless;

But guide our feet into the way
Of everlasting peace.

3 Help us to help each other, Lord,
Each other's cross to bear;
Let each his friendly aid afford,
And feel his brother's care.

4 Help us to build each other up,
Each other's grace improve:
Increase our faith, confirm our hope,
And perfect us in love.

1 THE Lord Jehovah reigns
Upon a throne sublime;

And from his own eternity,
Views the wide wastes of time.

2 The great Jeborah's ours.
He bids his people cry.
And to this everlasting rock
In time of trouble fy.

3 Thy name. Lord, be our song,
While life and breath are given;
And thine increasing praise shall run,
Through all the days of heaven.

C.M.

1 FATHER, whate'er of earthly bliss,
Thy sovereign will denies ;
Accepted at thy throne of grace,
Let this petition rise.

2 Give me a calm and thankful heart,
From every murmur free ;
The blessings of thy grace impart,
And make me live to thee.

3 Let the sweet hope that thou art mine, My life and death attend;

Thy presence through my journey shine,
And crown my journey's end.

P.M.

"As Strangers and Pilgrims." 1 GUIDE us, O thou great Jehovah! Pilgrims through this barren land. We are weak, but thou art mighty; Hold us with thy powerful hand. Bread of heaven

Feed us till we want no more.

2 Open thou the living fountain,
Whence the healing waters flow;
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Lead us all our journey through:
Strong Deliverer

Be thou still our strength and shield.

3 When we tread the verge

of Jordan,

Bid our anxious fears subside;

Bear us through the o'erwhelming torrent,
Land us safe on Canaan's side.
Songs of praises

We will ever give to thee.

"He shall reign till all enemies shall be under his feet."

1 HARK! the song of Jubilee,
Loud as mighty thunder's roar,
Or the fulness of the sea,
When it breaks upon the shore.

2 Hallelujah! for the Lord, God omnipotent shall reign: Hallelujah! let the word

Echo round the earth and main.

3 See Jehovah's banners furled,

Sheathed his sword: He speaks-'tis done,
And the kingdoms of this world

Are the kingdoms of his Son.

4 He shall reign from pole to pole,
All shall own his sovereign sway:
He shall reign, when, like a scroll
Yonder heavens have passed away.

5 He shall reign-beneath his rod,
Man's last
shall fall:
enemy
Hallelujah! Christ in God,
God in Christ is all in all!

C.M.

1 WHEN rising from the bed of death
Overwhelmed by guilt and fear,
We see our Maker face to face,
Oh! how shall we appear.

2 If yet while pardon may be found,
And mercy may be sought;

Our heart with inward horror shrinks,
And trembles at the thought.

3 When thou, O Lord, shalt stand displayed
In majesty severe,
And sit in judgement on our souls,
Oh! how shall we appear?

4 Lord thou hast told the troubled mind

Who doth his sins lament,

That his Redeemer's cross and blood
Shall endless woe prevent.
