2 Upon the cross of Jesus,

Mine eye at times can see The very dying form of one

Who suffered there for me.

And from my smitten heart with tears,
These wonders I confess,-
The wonder of His glorious love,
And my own worthlessness.

3 I take, O Cross, thy shadow
For my abiding-place;

I ask no other sunshine than
The sunshine of His face;
Content to let the world go by,
To know no gain nor loss,
My sinful self my only shame,
My glory all the cross.

A-men.

2 With my burden I begin:

Lord, remove this load of sin;
Let Thy blood, for sinners spilt,

Set my conscience free from guilt.

3 Lord, I come to Thee for rest,
Take possession of my breast,
There Thy blood-bought right maintain
And without a rival reign.

4 While I am a pilgrim here,
Let Thy love my spirit cheer;
As my guide, my guard, my friend,
Lead me to my journey's end.

5 Show me what I have to do,
Every hour my strength renew;
Let me live a life of faith,
Let me die Thy people's death.

We have no words, unless Thy grace,
Lord, teach us how to pray.

4 Here ev'ry thought and fond desire
We on Thy altar lay,

And when our souls have caught Thy fire. Lord, teach us how to pray.

Geo. Kingsley (1811-1844)

2 I love in solitude to shed

The penitential tear, And all His promises to plead, Where none but God can hear. 3 I love to think on mercies past, And future good implore, And all my cares and sorrows cast On Him whom I adore.

4 I love by faith to take a view
Of brightest scenes in heaven;
The prospect doth my strength renew,
While here by tempests driven.

5 Thus, when life's toilsome day is o'er, May its departing ray

Be calm as this impressive hour,
And lead to endless day.

2 In our sickness and our health, In our want, or in our wealth, If we look to God in prayer, God is present everywhere.

3 When our earthly comforts fail, When the foes of life prevail,

"T is the time for earnest prayer; God is present everywhere.

4 Then, my soul, in every strait, To thy Father come, and wait; He will answer every prayer: God is present everywhere.
