CARTMEL. 7.6.7.6. D. DR. JOHN NAYLOR. A men. . 317 "David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of music.”—1 Chron. xv. 16. FI COME forth, O Christian brothers, In ordered fair array ; And tread His courts with praise! 2 Here, joined in holy union, Assembling year by year, Our hearts receive the word, The house of David's Lord! 3 Levites of that new Temple Not built by human hands, One Priest for ever stands; P 4 Yet who may venture nigh Thee, Or who may touch Thine ark? P 5 Before Thy Throne great Angels Have mercy on the sinful Who dare to seek Thee now; And o'er our earth-soiled garments Thy robe of whiteness fling, cres. And touch with fire supernal mf Our lips before we sing! 6 So, kindled from Thine altar, Be pleasing in Thy sight! Amen. ST. GEORGE. 7.7.7.7. D. SIR GEORGE ELVEY.

F I FORWARD go in glad accord, Trust in Him whose mighty hand 2 Forward still!-and let the strain For the Lord, who reigns on high, 3 Now let all, as children dear, Here nor hate nor strife be found; 4 Forward go, despond no more! 5 Forward go!-the saints above ON our way rejoicing (478). |
