Salam had a boss, attend our pray`r, mase the British isles thy care: se der suppliant cries,

SPOT ADOTS FOend us rise.

gkor med der read our glory down,

der me temples of our God,

But 'midst the thunder of their rage,
We thy protection would engage:
O raise thy saving arm on high,
And bring renew'd deliv'rance nigh,

Safe may our happy land remain,
Bless'd with a Saviour's happy reign;
"Till ev'ry hostile tumult cease,
In the fair realms of perfect peace.

HYMN CXXXII.

C. M.

Desiring God's Presence in his House.

1 DEAR Shepherd of thy people, here Thy presence now display;

As thou hast giv'n a place for pray'r,
So give us hearts to pray.

2 Within these walls let holy peace,
And love, and concord dwell;
Here give the troubled conscience ease,
The wounded spirit heal.

3 Shew us some token of thy love,
Our fainting hope to raise ;
And pour thy blessings from above,
That we may render praise.

4 And may the gospel's joyful sound,
Enforc'd by mighty grace,

Awaken many sinners round,
To come and fill the place.

HYMN CXXXIII.

Before Sermon.

C. M.

1 ONCE more we come before our God, Once more his blessing ask;

O may not duty seem a load,
Nor worship prove a task!

2 Father, thy quick'ning Spirit send
From heav'n, in Jesu's name;
To make our waiting minds attend,
And put our souls in frame.

3 May we receive the word we hear,
Each in an honest heart;

Hoard up the precious treasure there,
And never with it part.

4 To seek thee all our hearts dispose!
To each thy blessing suit ;

And let the seed thy servant sows,
Produce a plenteous fruit.

5 Revive the parch'd, with heav'nly show'rs, The cold, with warmth divine;

And as the benefit is ours,
Be all the glory thine.

HYMN CXXXIV.

L. M.

Before Sermon, or at the Opening of Worship.

CONFIRM the hope thy word allows;
Behold us waiting to be fed;
Bless the provisions of thy house,
And "satisfy the poor with bread."

Drawn by thine invitation, Lord,
Athirst and hungry we are come;
Now from the fulness of thy word,
Feast us, and send us thankful home.

HYMN CXXXV.

Before Sermon.

C. M.

1 GREAT God, thy sov'reign pow'r impart, To give thy word success;

Write thy salvation on each heart,
And make us learn thy grace.

2 Shew our forgetful feet the way,
That leads to joys on high;

Where knowledge dwells without decay,
And pleasures never die.
