1. Come, thou al - mighty King, Help us thy name

to sing, Help us to praise:

Father! all-glo- ri-ous, O'er all vic-to- ri- ous, Come, and reign o-ver us, An-cient of Days.

THUS far the Lord has led me on; Thus far his power prolongs my days; And every evening shall make known Some fresh memorial of his grace. 2 Much of my time has run to waste, And I, perhaps, am near my home; But he forgives my follies past, And gives me strength for days to come.

3 I lay my body down to sleep;

Peace is the pillow for my head; While well-appointed angels keep Their watchful stations round my bed. 4 Thus, when the night of deathshall come, My flesh shall rest beneath the ground, And wait thy voice to break my tomb, With sweet salvation in the sound.

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.

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!

Phil. 4:7.

NEWTON.

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.

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.

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!
