2 Though we are guilty, thou art good; Wash all our works in Jesus' blood; Give every burdened soul release, And bid us all depart in peace.
1 WHILE now upon this Sabbath eve, Thy house, Almighty God, we leave, 'Tis sweet, as sinks the setting sun, To think on all our duties done. 2 Oh! evermore may all our bliss Be peaceful, pure, divine like this; And may each Sabbath, as it flies, Fit us for joys beyond the skies.
1 ERE to the world again we go,
Its pleasures, cares, and idle show, Thy grace, once more, O God, we crave, From folly and from sin to save.
2 May the great truths we here have heard, The lessons of thy holy word- Dwell in our inmost bosoms deep, And all our souls from error keep. 3 Oh! may the influence of this day Long as our memory with us stay, And as a constant guardian prove, To guide us to our home above.
1 GLORY to thee, my God, this night, For all the blessings of the light: Keep me, oh, keep me, King of kings! Beneath thine own almighty wings. 2 Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son, The ill which 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 Rise glorious at the judgment-day.
4 Oh, let my soul on thee repose, And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close! Sleep, which shall me more vigorous make, To serve my God when I awake.
5 Be thou my guardian, while I sleep, Thy watchful station near me keep; My heart with love celestial fill,
And guard me from the approach of ill.
6 Lord, let my soul forever share, The bliss of thy paternal care: 'Tis heaven on earth, 't is heaven above, To see thy face, and sing thy love!
1 THE peace which God alone reveals, And by his word of grace imparts, Which only the believer feels,
Direct, and keep, and cheer our hearts!
2 And may the holy Three in One, The Father, Word, and Comforter, Pour an abundant blessing down On every soul assembled here !
3 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise him, all creatures here below; Praise him above, ye heavenly host! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
1 MILLIONS within thy courts have met, Millions, this day, before thee bowed; Their faces Zion-ward were set,
Vows with their lips to thee they vowed.
2 Soon as the light of morning broke O'er island, continent, or deep, Thy far-spread family awoke,
Sabbath, all round the world, to keep. 3 From east to west, the sun surveyed, From north to south, adoring throngs; And still, when evening stretched her shade, The stars came out to hear their songs. 4 And not a prayer, a tear, a sigh,
Hath failed this day some suit to gain; To those in trouble thou wert nigh:
Not one hath sought thy face in vain,
5 Yet one prayer more !—and be it one, In which both heaven and earth accord Fulfill thy promise to thy Son;
Let all that breathe call Jesus LORD!
1 THE swift declining day,
How fast its moments fly!
While evening's broad and gloomy shade Gains on the western sky.
2 Ye mortals, mark its pace,
And use the hours of light;
And know, its Maker can command
At once eternal night.
3 Give glory to the Lord,
Who rules the whirling sphere; Submissive at his footstool bow, And seek salvation there.
4 Then shall new lustre break
Through death's impending gloom, And lead you to unchanging light, In your celestial home.
1 To God the only wise,
Who keeps us by his word, Be glory now and evermore, Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
2 Hosanna to the Word,
Who from the Father came; Ascribe salvation to the Lord, And ever bless his name.
of Christ our Lord,
The Father's boundless love,
The Spirit's blest communion, too, Be with us from above.
1 The day, O Lord, is spent; Abide with us, and rest; Our hearts' desires are fully bent On making thee our guest.
2 We have not reached that land, That happy land, as yet, Where holy angels round thee stand, Whose sun can never set.
3 Our sun is sinking now,
Our day is almost o'er; O Sun of Righteousness, do thou Shine on us evermore!
1 LORD, at this closing hour
Establish every heart
Upon thy word of truth and power, To keep us when we part.
2 Peace to our brethren give; Fill all our hearts with love; In faith and patience may we live, And seek our rest above.
3 Through changes, bright or drear, We would thy will pursue;
And toil to spread thy kingdom here, Till we its glory view.
4 To God, the only wise, In every age adored,
Let glory from the church arise Through Jesus Christ our Lord!
1 ONCE more, before we part,
Oh, bless the Saviour's name; Let every tongue and every heart Adore and praise the same.
2 Lord, in thy grace we came, That blessing still impart; We met in Jesus' sacred name, In Jesus' name we part.
3 Still on thy holy word
Help us to feed, and grow, Still to go on to know the Lord, And practise what we know. 4 Now, Lord, before we part, Help us to bless thy name: Let every tongue and every Adore and praise the same.
1 GOD of the prophets' power! God of the gospel's sound!
Move glorious on,-send out thy voice To all the nations round.
2 With hearts and lips unfeigned, We bless thee for thy word; We praise thee for the joyful news, Which our glad ears have heard.
