Grant us that way to know,

That truth to keep, that life to win,
Whose joys eternal flow.

HOU hidden Source of calm repose,
Thou all-sufficient Love divine,
My help and refuge from my foes,
Secure I am, if thou art mine!
And lo! from sin, and grief, and shame,
I hide me, Jesus, in thy name.

2 Jesus, my all in all thou art,

My rest in toil, my ease in pain;
The healing of my broken heart;

In strife my peace: in loss my gain;
My smile beneath the tyrant's frown;
In shame, my glory and my crown;-

3 In want, my plentiful supply;

In weakness, my almighty power;
In bonds, my perfect liberty;

My light in Satan's darkest hour;
Thee, in each grief, my joy I call;
My life in death, my All in All!

WELCOME.

4 "And whosoever cometh
I will not cast him out."
O welcome voice of Jesus,
Which drives away our doubt,
Which calls us very sinners,
Unworthy though we be,
Of love so free and boundless,
To come, dear Lord, to thee!

Guiding in love and truth Through devious waysChrist our triumphant King, We come thy name to sing, And here thy children bring Tributes of praise.

2 Thou art our holy Lord,

O all-subduing Word, Healer of strife:

Thou didst thyself abase, That from sin's deep disgrace Thou mightest save our race, And give us life.

I HAIL, thou long-expected Jesus,
Born to set thy people free!
From our sins and fears release us,
Let us find our rest in thee.

2 Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth thou art;
Dear desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
3 Born, thy people to deliver,-
Born a child, and yet a king,-
Born to reign in us for ever,-
Now thy gracious kingdom bring.

4 By thine own eternal Spirit,
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By thine all-sufficient merit,

Raise us to thy glorious throne.

A-men.

ANNUNCIATION. C. M.

I HARK, the glad sound! the Saviour comes,
The Saviour promised long;

Let every heart prepare a throne,
And every voice a song.

2 He comes, the prisoner to release,
In Satan's bondage held;

The gates of brass before him burst,
The iron fetters yield.
