Affift us, Lord, to offer up

Our Evening Sacrifice.

Awake our Love, awake our Joy,

Awake our Heart and Tongue:
Sleep not when Mercies loudly call,
Break forth into a Song.

Minutes and Mercies multiply'd,
Have made up all this Day;
Minutes came quick, but Mercies were
More fleet and free than they.

New Time, new Favour, and new Joys,
Do a new Song require;

'Till we fhall praife thee as we would, Accept our Heart's Defire.

Lord of our Time, whofe Hand hath fet
New Time upon our Score;

Thee may we praife for all our Time,
When Time fhall be no more!

HYMN XVII.

Morning or Evening.

God, how endless is thy Love, Thy Gifts are ev'ry Ev'ning new; And Morning Mercies, from above, Gently diftil like early Dew.

Thou spread'ft the Curtain of the Night, Great Guardian of our fleeping Hours Thy fov'reign Word reftores the Light, And quickens all our drowsy Pow'rs.

We yield our Pow'rs to thy Command, To thee we confecrate our Days; Perpetual Bleffings from thine Hand Demand perpetual Songs of Praife.

Hofanna to th' anointed King,
To David's holy Son;

Help us, O Lord, defcend, and bring
Salvation from thy Throne.

Hofanna, in the highest Strains
The Church on Earth can raife!
The highest Heav'ns in which he reigns
Shall give him nobler Praise.

To find the Way to Zion's Gate;

God is their Strength, and through the Road
They lean upon their Helper God.
