'My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.'

1 FOR a season called to part,

Let us now ourselves commend
To the gracious eye and heart
Of our ever-present Friend.

2 Jesus, hear our humble prayer ;
Tender Shepherd of Thy sheep,
Let Thy mercy and Thy care
All our souls in safety keep.

"The very God of peace sanctify you
wholly,'

1 Now may He, who from the dead
Brought the Shepherd of the sheep,
Jesus Christ, our King and Head,
All our souls in safety keep.

2 May He teach us to fulfil

What is pleasing in His sight,
Perfect us in all His will,

And preserve us day and night.

3 Great Redeemer, Thee we praise,

Who the covenant sealedst with blood,

While our hearts and voices raise
Loud thanksgivings to our God.

'Go in peace.'

PART in peace. Christ's life was peace,
Let us live our life with Him;
Part in peace: Christ's death was peace,
Let us die our death in Him;
Part in peace: Christ promise gave
Of a life beyond the grave,
Where all mortal partings cease:
Brethren, sisters, part in peace.

8, 7. "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all.'

1 MAY the grace of Christ our Saviour,
And the Father's boundless love,
With the Holy Spirit's favour,
Rest upon us from above.

2 Thus may we abide in union

With each other and the Lord,
And possess, in sweet communion,
Joys which earth cannot afford.

Praise Him, all creatures here below;

One God, the God whom we adore.

Worthy the Lamb, they cry,
To be exalted thus!

Worthy the Lamb! let us reply;
For He was slain for us.

To Him be power ascribed,
And endless blessings paid;
Salvation, glory, joy remain
For ever on His head!

L. M.

1 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.

2 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.

8, 7, 4.

Now to Him who loved us, gave us
Every pledge that love could give,
Freely shed His blood to save us,
Gave His life that we might live,
Be the kingdom,

And dominion,

And the glory evermore.

Now to the King of Heaven
Your cheerful voices raise;
To Him be glory given,
Power, majesty, and praise;
Wide as He reigns,

His name be sung
By every tongue,
In endless strains.

GLORY, glory everlasting
To the Blessed Trinity!
Praise to Thee, Eternal Father!
Praise, Eternal Son, to Thee!
Praise to Thee, Eternal Spirit!
Three in One, and One in Three!

I'LL praise my Maker with my breath;
And, when my voice is lost in death,

8, 7.

Praise shall employ my nobler powers; My days of praise shall ne'er be past, While life and thought and being last, Or immortality endures.

8, 8, 7.
GLORY be to Him who gave us,-
Freely gave His Son to save us!
Glory to the Son who came!
Honour, blessing, adoration,
Ever, from the whole creation,
Be to God and to the Lamb!
