3 And when before Thy throne I stand,, And wait Thy judgment's dread command, Do Thou my strong supporter be,

And save the soul that trusts in Thee.

4 Thou, SAVIOUR, for my sins hast died,
Thy grace alone my strength supplied;
Then cast me not, O LORD, away
But save me in the JUDGMENT DAY.

65. Heaven seen by faith. (L. M.) 1 As when the weary traveller gains The height of some commanding hill, His heart revives, if o'er the plains

He sees his home, though distant still
2 So, when the Christian pilgrim views
By faith his mansion in the skies,
The sight his fainting strength renews,
And wings his speed to reach the prize.

3 The hope of heav'n his spirit cheers,
No more he grieves for sorrows past;
Nor any future trial fears,

So he may safe arrive at last.

4 O LORD! On Thee our hopes we stay
To lead us on to Thine abode;
Assur'd Thy love will far o'erpay
Our utmost toil upon the road.

66. Morning Hymn. (L. M.)

1 AWAKE, my soul, and with the sun
Thy daily stage of duty run;

Shake off dull sloth, and early rise,
To pay thy morning sacrifice.

2 Redeem thy mispent moments past,
And live this day as if thy last;
Thy talents to improve take care,
For the great day thyself prepare.

3 Let all thy converse be sincere,
Thy conscience as the noon-day clear;
For God's all-seeing eye surveys

Thy secret thought, thy works, and ways.

4 All praise to Thee, whose arm has kept, Whose care refresh'd me while I slept: When from the sleep of death I wake, May I of endless life partake.

5 Direct, control, suggest this day,
All I design, or do, or say;

That all my powers with all their might
In Thy sole glory may unite,

6 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below;

Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host,
Praise FATHER, Son, and HOLY GHOST.

67. A morning Hymn. (D. C. M.)"

"My voice shalt thou hear in the morning." - PSAL. V. 3. 1 To Thee, O LORD, with dawning light My thankful voice I'll raise, Thy mighty power to celebrate, Thy holy name to praise :

....

For Thou, in helpless hour of night,
Hast compassed my bed,

And now, refresh'd with peaceful sleep,
Thou liftest
up my head.

2 Grant me, O GOD, Thy quick'ning grace,
Through this and every day;
That, guided and upheld by Thee,
My feet may never stray.
Increase my faith, increase my hope,
Increase my zeal and love;
And fix my heart's affections all
On CHRIST and things above.

3 And when, life's labours o'er, I sink
To slumber in the grave,

In death's dark vale be Thou my trust,
To succour and to save:

That so through HIM, who bled and died,
And rose again for me,

"The grave and gate of death"
A passage home to Thee.

68. Evening Hymn. (L. M.)

1 GLORY to Thee, my God, this night,
For all the blessings of the light:
Keep me, O keep me, King of kings,
Under Thine own Almighty wings.

2 Forgive me, LORD, for Thy dear SON,
The ills that I this day have done;
That with the world, myself, and Thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.

3 Teach me to live, that I may dread
The grave as little as my bed;
Teach me to die, that so I may
With joy behold the judgment-day.

4 LORD! let my soul for ever share
The bliss of Thy paternal care;
'Tis heav'n on earth, 'tis heav'n above,
To see Thy face, and sing Thy love.

5 Praise GOD, from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host,
Praise FATHER, SON, and HOLY GHOST.

69. Evening Hymn. (L. M.)

1 CREATOR of the starry frame,

Light of the souls who trust in Thee, JESUS! Redeemer of mankind,

To Thee we call on bended knee.

2 Thou, when the tempter's arts prevail'd, Didst hasten down on wings of love, To shield and save a ruin'd world

With health and peace from heav'n above.

3 Exalted now, Thy glorious pow'r Extends through all immensity;

And saints in heav'n, and fiends in hell, Bow at Thy name with trembling knee.

4 To Thee, O JUDGE of all, we look,
Grant us Thy heav'nly help, we pray;
Guide us in life, and guard in death,
And shield us in the judgment day.
5 For Thine the glory is and pow'r,
Eternal SIRE, Eternal SON;
Eternal SPIRIT, Thine the praise,
The One in Three, the Three in One,

70. Praise to our Creator. PSAL. C. (L. M.) 1 BEFORE JEHOVAH's awful throne, Ye nations bow, with sacred joy! Know that the LORD is God alone!

He can create, and He destroy.
2 His sov'reign pow'r without our aid,
Made us of clay, and form'd us men;
And, when like wand'ring sheep we stray'd,
He brought us to His fold again.

3 We'll crowd His gates with thankful songs,
High as the heav'ns our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill His courts with sounding praise,

4 Wide as the world is His command;
Vast as eternity His love;

1

Firm as a rock His truth shall stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.

71. For Divine guidance.

PSAL. cxix. (C. M.)

0 THAT the LORD would guide my ways

To keep His statutes still!

O that my God would grant me grace
To know and do His will!
