5 Calmly the day forsakes our heaven So let my soul, in life's last even, AFTER SERMON. 493 R. Heber. 494 A-men. BALERMA. C. M. Ο GOD, by whom the seed is given, By whom the harvest blessed; Whose word, like manna showered from heaven, 2 Freserve it from the passing feet, 3 Though buried deep, or thinly sown, The hope in earthly furrows strown, AFTER SERMON. I. Watts. A-men. DEDHAM. C. M. W. Gardiner. I GRE REAT God, thy sovereign power impart, Write thy salvation in my heart, 2 Show my forgetful feet the way There knowledge grows without decay, A-men. 2 A few more storms shall beat And we shall be where tempests cease, My soul for that calm day; 3 A few more struggles here, A few more toils, a few more tears, 4 A few more sabbaths here My soul for that sweet day; 5 'Tis but a little while And he shall come again, Who died that we might live, who lives Then, O my Lord, prepare O wash me in thy precious blood, A-men. GREENVILLE. 8-7-4. J. J. Rousseau. I JORD, dismiss us with thy blessing, 2 Thanks we give, and adoration, With us evermore be found. D. C. I SWE WEET Saviour, bless us ere we go; And make our lukewarm hearts to glow Through life's long day and death's dark night, 2 Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways True absolution and release; And bless us, more than in past days, Through life's long day and death's dark night, 3 Do more than pardon; give us joy, Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our Light. 4 Labor is sweet, for thou hast toiled; And care is light, for thou hast cared; Through life's long day and death's dark night, A-men. AVIOUR, again to thy dear name we raise 2 Grant us thy peace upon our homeward way; 3 Grant us thy peace, Lord, through the coming night, Turn thou for us its darkness into light; From harm and danger keep thy children free, 4 Grant us thy peace throughout our earthly life, A-men. |
