HYMN 316.

Dependence on Christ.

WHEN, O my Saviour, when shall I
Behold Thee all serene,
Blest in perpetual Sabbath-Day,
Without a veil between ?

Assist me while I wander here,
Amidst a world of cares ;
Incline my heart to pray with love,
And then accept my pray❜rs.

Thy Spirit, O my Father, give,
To be my Guide and Friend,
To light my path to ceaseless joys,
To Sabbaths without end.

HYMN 317.

Christ a refuge in distress.

O GOD! my heart within me faints,
And pours in sighs her deep complaints;
Yet many a thought shall linger still,
By Carmel's height, and Tabor's rill,
The Olive Mount my Saviour trod,
The rocks that saw, and own'd their God.

The morning beam that wakes the skies,
Shall see my matin incense rise;
The ev'ning seraphs as they rove,
Shall catch the notes of joy, and love,
And sullen night with drowsy ear,
The still repeated anthem hear.

My soul shall cry to Thee, O Lord,
To Thee, Supreme, Incarnate Word,
My Rock and Fortress, Shield, and Friend,
Creator, Saviour, Source, and End ;
And Thou wilt hear Thy servant's pray'r,
Though death, and darkness speak despair.

Ah! why by passing clouds oppress'd,
Should harrowing thoughts distract thy breast?
Turn-turn to Him in ev'ry pain,

Whom never suppliant sought in vain ;
Thy strength, in life's unruffled day;

Thy hope, when joy has passed away.

HYMN 318.
Doxology.

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.

HYMN 319.
Dismissal.

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.

God a refuge in trouble

Narrow the way that leadeth unto life

Lamenting a separation from God.

Welcome the cross....
