THE year is gone beyond recall,
With all its hopes and fears,

With all its bright and gladdening smiles,
With all its mourners' tears.

Thy thankful people praise Thee, Lord,
For countless gifts received,
And pray for grace to keep the faith
Which saints of old believed.

To Thee we come, O gracious Lord,
The new-born year to bless :
Defend our land from pestilence,
Give peace and plenteousness.

Forgive this nation's many sins,
The growth of vice restrain,
And help us all with sin to strive,
And crowns of life to gain.

O Father, let Thy watchful eye,
Still look on us in love,

That we may praise Thee, year by year,
As angels do above.

All glory to the Father be,
All glory to the Son,

All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee,
While endless ages run.

349.

Amen.

S. M.

TO-MORROW, Lord, is Thine,
Lodged in Thy sovereign hand,
And if its sun arise and shine,
It shines by Thy command.

The present moment flies
And bears our life away,

O make Thy servants truly wise
That they may live to-day.

Since on this winged hour
Eternity is hung,

Waken by Thy Almighty power,
The aged and the young!

One thing demands our care:
O! be it still pursued!
Lest slighted once, the season fair
Should never be renewed!

To Jesus may we fly,

Swift as the morning light, Lest life's young golden beams should die In sudden endless night. Amen.

350.

8-7, 8-7, 4-7.

LORD, dismiss us with Thy blessing,
Fill our hearts with joy and peace ;
Let us each Thy love possessing
Triumph in redeeming grace.
O refresh us,

Travelling through this wilderness.

Thanks we give and adoration
For the gospel's joyful sound;
May the fruits of Thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound.
May Thy presence

With us evermore be found.

So whene'er the signal's given
Us from earth to call away,
Borne on angels' wings to heaven,
Glad the summons to obey :
May we ever

Reign with Christ in endless day!

To the Father throned in heaven,
To the Saviour, Christ, His Son,
To the Spirit, praise be given,
Everlasting Three in One.

Praise Him! praise Him!
Praise the Father, Spirit, Son! Amen.

FROM all that dwell below the skies
Let the Creator's praise arise;
Let the Redeemer's name be sung,
Through every land, by every tongue.

Eternal are Thy mercies, Lord,
Eternal truth attends Thy Word;

Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore
Till suns shall rise and set no more.

352.

Amen.

8-7.

MAY the grace of Christ our Saviour,
And the Father's boundless love,

With the Holy Spirit's favour,

Rest upon us from above.

Thus may we abide in union

With each other and the Lord,

And possess, in sweet communion,

Joys which earth cannot afford. Amen.

All glory laud and honour.

71

All hail the power of Jesu's Name
All people that on earth do dwell.....

All praise to Thee, my God, this night.
Almighty God, Thy word is cast
Angels from the realms of glory
Another day is past and gone
Approach, my soul, the mercy seat.
Arise, O Lord, and shine....
Around the throne of God a band

Art thou weary? art thou languid ?

As now the sun's declining rays
As through this wilderness we stray
As with gladness men of old.
