1 COME, thou Almighty King! Help us thy name to sing,

Help us to praise !

Father all-glorious,

O'er all victorious,

Come and reign over us,
Ancient of Days!

2 Come, thou all-gracious Lord, By heaven and earth adored,

Our prayer
attend!
Come, and thy children bless;
Give thy good word success;
Make thine own holiness

On us descend.

3 Never from us depart;
Rule thou in every heart

Hence evermore.
Thy sovereign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity

Love and adore.

I WORD, whose creative thrill
Wakes in all nature still

Life, light, and bloom!
Come with resistless ray,
Chase all our clouds away,
And with thy heavenly day
All souls illume!

2 Spirit in whom we live,
Thou who dost yearn to give
All hearts thy rest!
When earthly joys take flight,
Cheer thou the earthly night,
And in the morning light

Still be our guest!

3 And when th' eternal morn,
From death's deep night shades born,
Our eyes shall see,

Father, thy word, thy breath,
Thy Christ who conquereth

Sorrow and sin and death,

Our trust shall be !

I LEAD us with thy gentle sway,
As a willing child is led;

Speed us on our forward way
As a pilgrim, Lord, is sped,
Who with prayers and helps divine
Seeks a consecrated shrine.

2 We are pilgrims, and our goal

Is that distant land whose bourne Is the haven of the soul;

Where the mourners cease to mourn, Where the Saviour's hand will dry Every tear from every eye.

3 Lead us thither! thou dost know All the way; but, wanderers, we Often miss our path below,

And stretch out our hands to thee: Guide us, save us, and prepare

Our appointed mansion there!

1 SAFELY through another week
God has brought us on our way;

Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in his courts to-day:
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.

2 Here we come thy name to praise ; Let us feel thy presence near; May thy glory meet our eyes

Heathlands.

7s, 61.

While we in thy house appear:
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast.

3 May thy gospel's joyful sound

Conquer sinners, comfort saints; Make the fruits of grace abound;

Bring relief for all complaints: Thus let all our Sabbaths prove, Till we rest in thee above.

1 ON thy Church, O Power divine!
Cause thy glorious face to shine,
Till the nations from afar
Hail her as their guiding star;
Till her sons from zone to zone
Make thy great salvation known.

2,。1:|:』

2 Then shall God, with lavish hand,
Scatter blessings o'er the land;
Earth shall yield her rich increase,
Every breeze shall whisper peace,
And the world's remotest bound
With the voice of praise resound.

Reign, the spi rit of this place;

Bless

I FATHER, in this sacred hour,
May we feel thy saving power:
Power to do, and power to be
Ever, more and more like thee.
2 Let thy truth our lives inspire,
Touch our hearts with holy fire;
All our dross of sin consume,
And our inmost souls illume.

3 May we share thy quickening grace,
As it shone in Jesus' face;
And in word, and deed, and thought,
Live the precepts which he taught.
4 Then shall we thy peace possess,
Peace, and love, and righteousness,
And with grateful voices raise
Hymns of everlasting praise.

I GRACIOUS Spirit, Love divine,
Let thy light within me shine;
All my guilty fears remove,
Fill me with thy heavenly love.
2 Life and peace to me impart ;
Seal salvation on my heart:

Breathe thyself into my breast,
Earnest of immortal rest.

3 Let me never from thee stray,
Keep me in the narrow way;
Fill my soul with joy divine;
Keep me, Lord, forever thine.
