Lord! give Thine angels every day
Command to guard us on our way;
And bid them every evening keep
Their watch around us while we sleep.

So shall no wicked thing draw near
To do us harm, or cause us fear;
And we shall dwell, when life is past,
With angels round Thy throne at last.

Amen.

CHRIST is made the sure Foundation,
Christ the Head and Corner stone,
Chosen of the Lord, and precious,

Binding all the church in one,
Holy Sion's help for ever,

And her confidence alone.

All that dedicated city,

Dearly loved of God on high,

In exultant jubilation

Pours perpetual melody; God the One in Three adoring In glad hymns eternally.

To this temple, where we call Thee,
Come, O Lord of hosts, to-day :
With Thy wonted loving-kindness,
Hear Thy servants, as they pray;
And Thy fullest benediction
Shed within its walls alway.

Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants
What they ask of Thee to gain,
What they gain from Thee for ever
With the blessed to retain,
And hereafter in Thy glory
Evermore with Thee to reign.

Praise and honour to the Father,
Praise and honour to the Son,
Praise and honour to the Spirit,
Ever Three, and ever One,

One in might, and One in glory,
While eternal ages run.

Amen.

GREAT Shepherd of Thy people, here Thy presence now display;

As Thou hast given a place for prayer,
So give us hearts to pray.

Within these walls let holy peace,
And love and concord dwell;

Here give the troubled conscience ease,
The wounded spirit heal.

May we in faith receive Thy word,
In faith present our prayers;
And in the presence of our Lord
Unbosom all our cares.

The hearing ear, the seeing eye,
The contrite heart bestow;
And shine upon us from on high,
That we in grace may grow.

Amen.

GOD of our life to Thee we call,
Afflicted at Thy feet we fall;
When the great waterfloods prevail,
Leave not our trembling hearts to fail.

Friend of the friendless and the faint,
Where shall we pour our sad complaint?
Where but to Thee, whose open door
Invites the helpless and the poor?

Did ever sinner plead with Thee,
And Thou reject his lowly plea ?
Does not Thy word still pledged remain,
That none shall seek Thy name in vain ?

Thanksgiving.

Now thank we all our God,
With heart, and hands, and voices,
Who wondrous things hath done,
In Whom His world rejoices;
Who from our mother's arms
Hath blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours to day.

O
may this bounteous God
Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep us in His grace,

And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills,

In this world and the next.

All praise and thanks to God, The Father, now be given,

The Son, and Him Who reigns With Them in highest heaven, The One eternal God,

Whom earth and heaven adore, For thus it was, is now,

And shall be evermore.

Amen.

REJOICE to-day with one accord,
Sing out with exultation;
Rejoice and praise our mighty Lord,
Whose Arm hath brought salvation;
His works of love proclaim

The greatness of His Name;
For He is God alone

Who hath His mercy shewn;

Let all His saints adore Him!

When in distress to Him we cried,
He heard our sad complaining;
O trust in Him, whate'er betide,
His love is all-sustaining;

Triumphant songs of praise
To Him our hearts shall raise;
Now every voice shall say,
"O praise our God alway;"
Let all His saints adore Him!

Rejoice to-day with one accord,
Sing out with exultation;
Rejoice and praise our mighty Lord,
Whose Arm hath brought salvation;
His works of love proclaim

The greatness of His Name;
For He is God alone

Who hath His mercy shewn;

Let all His saints adore Him! Amen.
